118 – Monster Hunting (4)
The Geumgangjeo is a good weapon. Although it cannot be compared to Flügel, its unique ability itself is perfectly suited to Dante’s abilities.
The only problem was durability.
Jeok, jeok-
“Hmm.”
I briefly let out a sigh as I saw Geumgangjeo slowly starting to reach its limit.
This will break soon.
Still, if there is anything fortunate, is it that we arrived almost close to where Sangun’s head was attached?
I slowly raised my head and looked at Sangun’s head.
“Oh Mr.”
And as it happened, my gaze immediately met the eerie eyes of Sangun.
I got goosebumps, albeit slightly.
I tried my best to pretend to be calm and cut down another monster.
This time, the power of Thunder was kept to a minimum.
‘It’s foolish to use a dagger to fight the sword, but it can’t be helped.’
If the vajra was damaged, my body would then have to bear the same burden.
And if that happens, I’m sure I’ll collapse before I can go for even 10 minutes.
In the end, most of the monsters that were growing like tumors here and there in Sangun’s body had to be left to Eve.
Suddenly!!
“Oh my.”
Needless to say, Eve was doing her job. It really exceeded expectations.
At that moment, Eve’s sword passed through the top of my head and pierced the monster behind me.
“…… Be careful, junior. Are you going to keep blanking out like that?”
“hahahaha, sorry. “To think about something else for a moment.”
Eve sighed as if she was displeased with my naturally virtuous response.
It seemed like she wasn’t that worried about me.
I am grateful. Even though I went out confidently, I was also a little shy.
Anyway.
“Now all we have to do is clear that road.”
“…… Um, yes.”
At that point, I glanced at Sangun’s head, and Eve also looked at it and frowned slightly.
Needless to say, it was probably because I thought that defeating that weakness would not be easy.
Of course, so do I.
How do you break through that?
[Kooooo…… !!]
I could tell after reaching the position where I was directly facing Sangun’s shoulder, that is, his head.
Where on earth do monsters of this size appear and how do they attack us and the fortress?
I glanced down and looked at the ground, which was now quite far away.
Near the castle’s barrier, where fierce battles are still taking place.
There were many monsters. It’s just that there were so many.
It’s surprising how it’s still holding up.
And when you look around from this height, there is bound to be more to see.
Monsters.
They didn’t just gather here and there in the mountains.
It was safe to say that he would be summoned.
Where and how?
Of course, it is a mountain group.
The body of the mountain army, the ground the mountain army steps on, the air where the mountain army’s fog touches…….
No matter where it was, it was Sangun’s ability to summon monsters.
Even though Eve and I were so close to his head, there was no significant reaction because the monsters were being created in real time.
The guy clearly had no sense.
In other words, he seemed to be more aware of the instinct of destruction that was revived by the musical instrument than anything else.
It was a very uncomfortable story, though.
However, because of that, we were able to strengthen our resolve even more.
“I will take care of the monsters. Junior, please conserve your strength and pierce Sangun’s brain with the power of that thunderbolt.”
“I will do as you command, senior.”
Take care of the mountains. To exaggerate a bit, the responsibility was truly enormous.
Those guarding the fortress are probably doing their best, but-.
Anyway, this was the one that had to play a decisive role.
I was nervous, but on the other hand, I wasn’t confident.
You can do it. There are many people fighting together, and as such, aren’t responsibilities distributed as they are?
I will make sure that I do at least one task.
I made up my mind like that for the last time, and it was at that moment that Eve made her move.
Blame!
Leap lightly over the slippery body of the mountains.
She reached Sangun’s eyes in an instant.
[Kyaaa!!]
Of course, there is no way there is no gatekeeper.
It is natural and expected.
The guy who appears is a monster. But he felt quite different from before.
Anything was like that, but first of all, should I say that the appearance was different?
Tigers and bears, wolves and crocodiles, etc. It would be easier to understand if we said that its appearance was a mixture of all kinds of wild beasts.
If you crush those beasts like clay and place them in a sloppy manner, something like that might be born.
“…… Phew.”
Eve swung her sword straight away without even blinking her eye. The blade imbued with her blood drew a flowing trajectory as if dancing.
I pierce the heart of a monster more gigantic than ever before.
Phew!
Clean penetration.
It was accurate.
“…… !”
However, the monster’s movement did not stop.
“Ugh!”
Eve let out a voice full of frustration for a moment, and it was then that the monster’s pot-lid-like hand moved.
He struck down Eve without hesitation. ‘Bang’.
[…] ….]
In the rising dust, the monster’s pupils shook in all directions a couple of times.
Paaat!
And there was a human figure coming through the dust.
“…… Ha!”
It was Eve who narrowly avoided the monster’s attack. Of course I thought I would avoid it, but for a moment I wondered if it was possible.
Anyway, I thought it was fortunate that he was fine.
“Speaking of this monster, it looks like he’s planning to trap us with just him. Seniors.”
At that point, I calmly opened the conversation.
First is analysis.
Sangun still did not move directly. As expected, it might not be easy to separate us from that large object.
Yes, we were infinitely small, but his arm was almost as big as a small hill.
“It looks like if we break through that, we can attack the brain right away.”
I was fiddling with the Geumgangjeo and spitting out those words.
Of course, Geumgangjeo was already close to its limit…….
‘It might be possible once or twice. ‘It’s also quite strong.’
If there is one advantage to such a Geumgangjeo, it is that I do not have to worry or consider the condition of the weapon.
It couldn’t hurt the Flügel, but there was no reason why it couldn’t break an ordinary ceremonial dagger.
So, Sangun’s brain is somehow penetrated. It can break through.
If only I could break through the gate in front of me.
“… ….”
I looked at the monster standing still in place with sunken eyes.
It should be said that he is faithful to his role, but it feels like he doesn’t necessarily attack first.
Rather than mercy, it was closer to endless confidence.
Should we call it a show of composure that he can block anything he does?
‘…… Should I leave it to Eve and move on?’
The monster in front of me was already huge in itself. So finding the square won’t be easy.
But if Eve were to attract attention, the story would be different.
The only thing I’m worried about is whether Eve will be able to fully catch that guy or deal with him without getting hurt.
‘I don’t think I can perfectly handle the power of blood yet, but I wonder if I can.’
There was quite a bit of concern.
Can Eve do it?
For me, it was a problem that I couldn’t rush out and had no choice but to hesitate.
That’s because the monster in front of me looked different from the standard before.
“Junior.”
However, my anxiety and concerns ended in a simpler form than I thought.
“Uh, yes?”
I suddenly turned my head when I heard Eve’s voice calling me. But Eve was no longer there.
She was already close to the nape of my neck.
“?”
I was shocked for a moment, but Eve didn’t care about my reaction.
I just do my own thing.
Quick!
A tingling sensation that I have become quite accustomed to now.
This is the sensation of fangs piercing the skin.
I had to stop the movement completely against my will.
I know very well that if I move around now, I will only see more blood.
So I waited. Until Eve has drained my blood to her satisfaction.
“…… Whoa.”
And the end came quickly.
Eve let out an excited breath.
After briefly catching her breath, she pulled her body away from me and immediately looked at me and smiled brightly.
“Junior.”
It was Eve’s unique, sensual smile that could only be seen immediately after the blood-sucking process.
“I’ll leave it to you. “I’ve received enough blood, so I’ll do my best to stop that.”
“…… Is that possible?”
“Of course. “I can do it because I have my junior’s blood.”
Eve nodded her head sweetly in response to my question.
Then she extends her fingers and gently traces the nape of my neck.
“…… My junior’s blood is delicious whenever I drink it. “It’s not something worth saying at a time like this.”
Eve licked my blood off her slender fingers with her tongue.
I reflexively covered her blushing face with my arm.
…… As expected, Eve felt a bit dizzy right after finishing the blood sucking process.
I tried to keep my composure as much as possible, and then shook my head.
“…… “Then I’ll leave it to you, senior.”
“hehehe, please leave it to me.”
Whether she knew what I was thinking or not, Eve just smiled innocently and raised her sword.
“Given that it remains intact even after its heart was pierced, it is probably not a living organism with a normal structure. In these cases, energy is usually injected from outside…….”
My blood is boiling. It was a more intense blood-red energy than before.
A slightly fierce expression appeared on her face.
“It doesn’t matter. “If you tear your body to pieces, it will never be able to regenerate again.”
It happened right after.
Quang!
The ground where we are currently standing, that is, Sangun’s body, shook greatly, even if only for a moment.
Because of none other than Eve’s leap.
Sangun’s upper body, which had been dark, became brightly colored for an instant.
This is because it received a slightly dark, red glow.
And the scene in the next moment was, so to speak, a spectacle worthy of admiration.
The sword moves.
Once.
Blood splits the air.
Twice.
A blood-red line was engraved.
Three times.
The blood-red line extends into dozens of branches.
All of this happened in just a few seconds.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag!!
The gatekeeper’s huge body is split apart by Eve’s fierce sword strike.
[Cooooo!]
It was the same cry as the first time, but the meaning was quite different.
This time, the voice contained pain.
I was dazed for a while just looking at that scene, but I was still able to come to my senses in time.
Now was not the time.
Create lightning in a way that does not put a strain on the Vajra and let it fall on both legs.
Force the speed up. The destination is Sangun’s brain.
Taaat!
I pushed off the floor and ran over Sangun’s shoulder, and the gatekeeper’s eyes flashed as if he had noticed me at that moment.
“Where?”
Suddenly!!
Eve’s sword moved first before the monster’s hand turned towards me.
I exchanged glances with Eve one last time.
‘Let’s go, junior.’
The moment she nodded her head, she immediately circled the monster’s body and passed by.
It reached Sangun’s head in an instant.
[Kyaaagh!]
The monster’s cries echoed from behind, but I paid no attention.
It is Eve’s role to stop him, not me.
I placed my hand on Sangun’s head. Then, lift the Geumgangjeo.
Without hesitation, he made a thunderstorm.
Pajik, Pajijijijik…… !!
“…… !”
It was that very moment.
Duruk-
From noble mtl dot com
Sangun’s eyes moved.
The pupils are aimed solely at me.
The guy was looking at me.
Quaaa!
“…… Pfft!”
For the first time, Sangun moved his body.
I struggle to maintain my shaky balance.
“Crazy.”
I managed to avoid falling, but the movement, which was no different from a quake, was only a precursor.
What he was moving was not his body, but his arms.
So, as I said before, that arm is so large that it can almost be called a hill.
It’s directed at me.
It’s as if a bug stuck on your body is bothersome and you’re trying to remove it.
“… ….”
Pajik-
However, if there is one thing that is unusual about such bugs -.
I’m sorry!!
Needless to say, it would be the power of the lightning that that insect possesses.
I swung a dagger imbued with lightning.
Toward Sangun’s brain. To be precise, first of all, to destroy the skull surrounding the brain.
I was able to predict it almost through intuition.
If I don’t figure this out quickly, I’ll be thrown out.
It was such an unreasonable object.
There is no time to continue thinking. Just do your best and do everything you can to rip off Sangun’s head.
That was all.
Kwahahahahahhhhh !!!
