Episode 179
‘Hwang Se-woong was beaten?’
That was shocking news for me as well. Obviously, in the original story, Hwang Se-woong fought with Yoo Ha-on and his party until the very end.
‘Hwang Se-woong is definitely an exorcist with skills… … .’
His level is 64.
From what I’ve checked before, it’s actually stronger than the last time I met Shin Noeul.
What that meant was simple and clear.
There was something hidden in this battlefield that I didn’t know yet, or it was simply that the rhetoric had become stronger than that.
‘… Now, the other side is also going to show his teeth in earnest.’
Hell difficulty.
That one difference was growing more and more prominent.
In any case, at the news, the exorcists were completely shocked.
“… It must have been only 10 minutes since they opened up.”
“Dude, how strong is the enemy for this to happen?”
“It might be right to step back and wait for support.”
What they said wasn’t really wrong.
Now that Hwang Se-woong is defeated, there are only three first-class exorcists who are the strongest exorcists on this battlefield.
Hwang Se-woong could not be sure that they would be able to demonstrate their skills against the opponent they had defeated.
“If we know that the elders of the family have suffered, the Huang family will also send a large-scale manpower.”
Hwang Se-woong was definitely a great exorcist, but there are also a few more excellent exorcists in the Hwang family.
Even if all of them were in the middle of a busy schedule, if a threat like this appeared, there was a high possibility that they would not sit down and add their strength.
‘However… … .’
So it shouldn’t be. Others didn’t know, but I knew it as well as I did.
‘If left as it is, Yusakbi will have a stronger power in his hand.’
It is also part of him turning this place into his own realm.
Perhaps given enough time, at that time, two or three of the superstars would really be able to handle it.
The fact that such a powerful entity appears in such an emergency is the same as the fact that indescribable damage will occur.
After I had made up my mind and was slowly thinking about how to do it, a new piece of information came in from the radio.
[The commander, the commander, instructed me to continue the subjugation before I lose my mind! And he was also wounded in the previous battle!]
In fact, it meant that Hwang Se-woong was not just suffering.
The news of Hwang Se-woong’s struggle somewhat alleviated the fear in the minds of the exorcists.
“Oh, again… … .”
“If he’s also been damaged, it’s not an unlikely fight.”
“I think we need to confront him in a hurry before the wound heals.”
The exorcists who nodded their heads followed the trail of Yusakbi while making contact with the members of the other group.
The closer you get to it, the stronger the heat, and the yogi that stabs your body.
It was enough to scare one or two people away, but the party did not hesitate when they remembered Hwang Se-woong’s sacrifice.
After climbing the mountain to such a degree, finally, the figure of the man sitting on one of the highest peaks, Jiwangbong, caught my eye.
A yokai in the form of a half-man, slightly larger than a human, and with thin rocks all over its body.
However, looking at the ferocious energy that flowed from him, anyone would know that he was a completely different creature from humans.
“… This is Group B-2, we have found the target,”
[Group B-1 was also found.]
[Group A-2, distance from current target 100m.]
Three of the five groups approached him, but although he must have known that, Yusak-bi sat cross-legged and did not show any reaction.
After closing the distance with him to some extent, I checked the information using the emotion function.
Tiling!

‘… Monsters are monsters.’
Just looking at the level, abilities, and characteristics can give you a rough estimate. Yusakbi will have a very strong, strong and tough lifeline.
‘Is it 10% to 20% stronger than the original?’
At this level, it is understandable that Hwang Se-woong suffered so quickly.
In particular, since it is dotted with defense-related characteristics like that, it would have been very difficult to stop it even if it was just an assault on the right-of-way.
‘It’s probably just a matter of finding a drink that will work for him.’
It is Hwang Ji-hak who fights the most defensive battles I know.
However, Yusakbi had a number of advanced protection abilities compared to that of Hwangjigwa.
In the original, Haon Yu accumulated damage to him through the power of the perm characteristic, but there is no way for me to do that.
‘What I definitely want to eat is… … .’
Great magic, high-ranking magic, and Seo Ji-an’s natural magic.
Among them, it is not known whether there is anyone who can use the Great Witchcraft now that Hwang Se-woong retired.
As the representatives of each group were determining the timing of their approach through communication, the attitude of the man who had been ignoring us suddenly changed.
Cuckoo!
Aww-!
The guy who kicked off the ground from afar and started to take a big leap somewhere.
The exorcists were startled by the sight, and I guessed the intention and opened my mouth hastily.
“We’re going to destroy each raid individually! Who is in that direction?”
“… This is the direction with Group A-2. I need to hurry this up.”
Without noticing any more, we quickly smashed the ground, using each of our strengthening techniques.
When we arrived at the location where Group A-2 was, there was already a burning land spread out.
“Oh My God… … .”
“Sue, I can’t breathe.”
Although it was a scene where the life and death of the crew members were very concerned, there was something that he was also overlooking.
“I found it! Most of them are still safe!”
It was the fact that these were also warriors of reversal who had overcome many difficulties.
‘There is no reason to divide the group if it was easy enough to be defeated in the first place.’
Each group is equipped with enough power to stop Yusakbi from escaping for a certain period of time.
Although Hwang Se-woong’s plan was shattered from the beginning, it meant that it was far from a misunderstanding.
“… It seems like it’s not too late.”
In addition, whether it was true that he was injured, Yusakbi’s body near his left waist was greatly damaged.
He was also not in normal condition, so he couldn’t defeat one group in an instant.
It can be said that this is the moment when the minimum possibility for victory was proved.
However, for some reason, the faces of the exorcists of Group A who were fighting hard were not so bright.
“Hey, I don’t drink at all… … .”
He had completely lost his mind with that overwhelming defense.
Besides, even though it was a good fight, it wasn’t that there were no casualties.
Already, about 30% of the A-2 team had suffered damage to the extent that it was impossible to fight, that is, it was a one-sided war of attrition.
“Calm. Seeing that he was wounded by the subjugation commander, he is also not invincible. There must be a way out.”
Among them, first-class exorcist Lee Moon-hyung, who can be said to be the oldest, opened his mouth.
And as if in response, soon a group of exorcists appeared from the other direction.
Standing in front of him was another first-class exorcist, Baek Baek-su from the White family.
“You’re right, maybe a direct blow would be more effective for him.”
Finally, with the addition of Park Yong-jin, a first-class exorcist who led our group, a composition was formed that completely surrounds him in three directions.
In fact, these three were now the support of the subjugation group, the most powerful forces.
“Get in shape! It works as planned!”
At that, the three exorcists moved in unison, and Seo Ji-an and Lee Eun-chan followed suit.
From now on, these three groups will assist the three first-class exorcists, taking turns taking on offensive and defensive roles.
‘A formation that seriously undermines the opponent’s power.’
In fact, it can be said to be the most traditional and practical strategy for dealing with high-level youkai.
Whoops.
Fuhwaah-!
Soon after, Yusakbi, who sensed an unusual movement, fired a mighty flame towards the B-2 group I belonged to.
“Stop it!”
blah blah!
Red flames filled the field of vision in an instant, but when the exorcists who were close to ten developed a defensive technique together, it returned to nothing.
And at the same time, I had to pay the price for that much, the cost of change.
“Baekhwa Heat Wave!”
“Non-poisonous Bak (匕毒雹)!”
“Poyoungtan (砲靈彈).”
Whoops!
Aww!
quagga!
The remaining two groups, with the remaining hands, fired at once, pounded on Yusakbi’s body.
Although each one may be insignificant power, it is a different story when there are dozens of them.
‘… That’s amazing.’
The passers-by of the exorcists was far from a seemingly plausible skit.
It can be said that it is a real baegi survival method that has been passed down because it is really used in real battles.
Yoo Sak-bi was also embarrassed by the momentum completely different from before, so for a moment, he took a full-fledged defensive posture and his movements became rigid.
And through that gap, the three first-class exorcists who took the lead attacked.
“Chilsan Gyeok (七産擊)!”
“Yu-Am Crushing Drama (劉巖碎戟).”
The appearance of two people shooting a high-level technique, and the other assisting it.
Obviously, the affiliation is different, but as if this happened frequently, the breathing of the three over there is also very flexible.
‘… It’s a more complete subjugation squad than I thought.’
Competing with the first-class exorcists in earnest is offensive to us, who formed the camp, and when we destroy the camp, the first-class exorcists hold their ankles.
At this moment, there was no other way for Yusakbi. He fell into a complete swamp and slowly consumed his yogi and stamina.
‘Of course, if it ends here… … .’
As a named-class monster, there is no reason to position himself as one of the story bosses of the original.
So, unlike the exorcists around me who felt a sense of victory and recalled their expressions, I continued to keep my tension.
He must have lost some of his stamina by now, so if you want to bring about a change, now is the time.
Then my prediction came true.
“As you might think, it doesn’t work.”
“Hey, human words… … !”
It wasn’t that strange. Because the orthodox theory was that yokai who killed humans and took on their souls and bodies could absorb some words and knowledge.
However, until now, Yusakbi had not even shown any reaction to the extent that it could be said that it was intentional.
That being said, he was also saying that he was also conducting some kind of test on us up until now.
“… To some extent, I knew.”
Koo!
When Yusakbi, who finished speaking expressionlessly, stumbled on his foot, the surrounding ground split at once, and flames began to erupt from all directions.
“Heh, heh heh… … .”
“What is this… … !”
The true power he possessed, the magic of dealing with fire and land to his heart’s content.
It was starting to take effect in earnest.
And Yusakbi continued to speak in a low-pitched tone.
“At this moment, no one can kill me.”
With that confidence-filled momentum, everyone in the room swallowed their voices.
