120 – 120. Wilhelm(2)
When a gate appears in this world, a powerful pulse of energy spreads around it.
It was a phenomenon caused by the magical power inherent in the bodies of the monsters within the gate. Although modern humans do not yet know the concept of magical power, they have only discovered that certain ‘special energy’ is released from monsters and dungeons.
Being able to detect the energy waves allowed agencies such as the Gate Authority to pinpoint the location of a gate as soon as it occurred. In addition, the strength of the pulse was measured and used as an index to calculate the grade of the gate.
This was a fairly accurate indicator. The strength of the pulse means the monsters’ total magic power, and generally, the stronger the monster, the more magic it has inside its body.
From that point of view, the Overranked Knight’s Tomb was a rather odd case. Despite the strong energy reaction at the time of the gate, the monsters inside were all ghost knights who were only A-class at best.
If you look only at the existence of the ghost knight, the tomb of the original knight should have been calculated as an A-class dungeon, at most an S-class dungeon.
But why was the Tomb of the Knight upgraded to an overrank that surpasses even the S rank?
There was no error in the measurement process. The six measuring devices that detected the pulse at the time of the gate determined that the Knight’s Grave was an overranked dungeon without a single exception.
Then, where did that powerful energy wave originate from?
The cause lies in a monster and a knight standing right in front of the task force.
The leader of the Frost Knights. Wilhelm von Bernstein.
The strongest and worst monster of all time, both in name and reality, who caused most of the powerful energy waves measured in Overrank Dungeons.
-Come. Warriors of the heathen no… ….
He took a stance, exhaling an overwhelming chill.
Bend his knees.
Keep your back down.
Put your legs back for a long time.
Just by holding the posture, it exudes a shapely momentum as if a huge blizzard was condensed into one point.
-…… Let me go.
Soon after that, his foot kicked the ground. At that moment, a huge explosion occurs.
-Too Kwaaang!!!!
Fast.
Even the hunters who are said to be able to charge with speed that can’t even be compared to before can’t chase it with their eyes. The only two people who managed to react were Seong Yu-jin, who gained extreme reflexes with her abilities, and Seol Ah-hyun, who glimpsed the future in an instant.
-Cheong!!!
Seol Ah-hyun blocks the blow that aimed for Oh Ji-hoon’s waist. The frost sword collided with the dark gauntlet, and white snowflakes flew instead of sparks.
“Clueaaa)”
About the same time, Seong Yu-jin swung her fist. However, Wilhelm had already taken the next step. A huge pillar rises from the ground where his feet touched and pushes Seong Yu-jin’s body hard.
– Wedge love liquid!
A momentary gap right after. Taking advantage of that gap, Jin So-Wol thrust out her spear. The momentum contained in that spear was also unusual.
A spear-shaped artifact that transforms the user’s upright mental power into mighty power. ‘The Window of Justice’.
With the addition of Jin Sowol’s psychic ability, ‘Falkyung’, which accumulates power and explodes at once, the speed of the spear far exceeds the speed of sound. Along with the puncture that cut through the air, the sharp spear tip was sucked into Wilhelm’s side.
-Taat!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ahn Soo-ho was aiming his sword one beat slower than that. The sparkling light of Talisman and the shimmering black smoke. Extremely compressed, semi-solid smoke flies in, bisecting the air with a black line.
Wilhelm tried to block it by swinging his frost sword.
– Kkaduk!
-…… !!
Seol Ah-hyun smiled viciously as she held on to his sword. I don’t even care if my hands are freezing. With the sole intention of holding him down.
The moment Wilhelm stopped moving, the two of them finally hit him.
-Tooquaaa!!!!
A cross between white silver and darkness.
With the sound of an explosion, the snow on the floor explodes. Through the white haze, the hunters come out. Oh Ji-hoon, who corrected his posture, and Seol Ah-hyun, who drooped the frozen gauntlet. Even Jin So-wol, who accumulates strength again while closing the window.
“Black Dragon Lord.”
– Hurry up.
The flame emperor Park Cheol approached Seol Ah-hyun and melted her hand with flames. Fine control that only melts the frozen ice on the outside without causing burns. Seol Ah-hyun nodded slightly towards him and expressed his gratitude.
However, his gaze immediately turned to the white haze that had risen. The other Hunters did the same. Although he succeeded in delivering the fatal blow, Wilhelm was not the only enemy to be defeated by that much.
-Tuhwaaa!
As if to prove those words, the smoke that had risen around them with a single sword strike quickly dissipated. In the middle stood Wilhelm, showing off his undisturbed majesty.
“How… ….”
Jin Sowol’s question was immediately resolved. Wilhelm’s left flank and right upper arm. The ice covering the surface cracks and falls.
“Huh, that’s true. What kind of ice is so hard?”
Oh Ji-hoon clicked his tongue and swung his greatsword. The hydra’s tusks floated around him, cleaving into nine blades again.
“Hey! Anyway, it’s ice!!”
At the same time, Park Chul’s right foot started a fierce fire. He raises his knee excitedly and slams the ground! Take down
“Inferno Pillar!”
-Quarrr!
At that moment, a huge pillar of fire erupted from the ground accompanied by thunder. Pak Cheol opened his arms wide and laughed out loud.
“It’s not over yet! Inferno Pillar! Inferno Pillar! Inferno Filaaa!!!”
Every time he stomped his foot, a new pillar of fire burst forth. Jin So-wol hurriedly shouted at the explosive smoke spreading everywhere.
“Mister! If you shoot at random like that-“
I can’t see what he looks like.
The moment he was about to say that, dozens of ice picks flew through the pillar of fire and flew towards Park Chul.
“Ow!”
Pak Cheol swung his arm triumphantly. Then a huge wall of fire rose up to block the flying ice picks.
It’s easy to take it lightly for his frivolous attitude, but Park Cheol is also an S-class superman and a guild master who leads a guild. With 30 years of experience as a hunter, he was a man who had won a victory in battle.
“How about Bill, what are you doing! It’s so hot that it feels good!?”
-Not bad.
In the blazing fire. Wilhelm, who was glowing in a subtle red color, spoke softly. He held his frost sword in reverse and raised it above his head.
“!! Coming! Avoid everyone!”
At that moment, Suho Ahn urgently shouted. The Hunters quickly distanced themselves from Wilhelm.
-Kwajik!
Almost at the same time, Wilhelm plunged his sword into the ground. Right after that, the burning fire was extinguished in an instant, and white ice spread around.
-Ice explosion.
-Tooquagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaggagagagagak!!!
In the next moment, huge icebergs began to emerge around Wilhelm. The flooding of icebergs that filled a radius of 50 meters was poised to attack not only the task force, but also the hunters in the guerrilla group fighting Ain.
“Where!!”
At this, Park Chul rushed between the guerrillas and the iceberg, causing sparks. The blue flames emitted by his hands collided head-on with the huge tsunami of the iceberg.
-Chiyiyi profit!
The ice melts in the flame, and the flame goes out in the melted water. White steam spreads explosively and covers the surroundings like early morning fog. I couldn’t even see right in front of me because of the hot steam.
-Taat!
Wilhelm rushed without missing the gap.
He headed towards Park Chul, who blocked his attack just before.
‘First, kill the flames.’
Park Chul was the most annoying opponent for Wilhelm. The ability of flame, which is compatible with ice, weakened most of Wilhelm’s power just by its presence.
If you defeat him, the remaining enemies will be much easier to deal with.
-Toohwaak!
Amidst the invisible steam, Wilhelm flew precisely to the location of Pakcheol he had memorized in advance. As he cut through the haze and raised his sword, there was Park Cheol with a surprised face.
‘Just one.’
Wilhelm swung his sword with the same force as a raging sword.
However.
-Took! Fighting evil!
Sol Ah-hyun and Jin So-wol appeared on either side of Park Chul right after. Two weapons, a gauntlet and a spear, crossed with a frost sword and aimed at Wilhelm.
‘Defense is thrown away.’
However, Wilhelm ignored the attacks of the two men and only aimed at Cheol Park. Quadruped! With the sound of bones and flesh being mashed, his frost sword plunged deep into Park Chul’s shoulder.
-Quaang!!
Immediately after, the attack from the two crashed into Wilhelm’s body. His breastplate was slightly bent and Wilhelm’s body was pushed out.
-Cheong!
A sword floating in the air caught on his back as he was being pushed back.
“Are you there!!”
A roar like a roar. Right after that, eight other swords flew at Wilhelm. Cutting through the invisible haze, aiming for Wilhelm’s blind spot.
-You’re clumsy!
-Kang! Chaeeng! Caang!
However, there was no blind spot for Wilhelm. Bristling his senses to the limit, he accurately bounced the swords aimed at him. I think about Park Cheol as I bounce off.
‘The blow was shallow. I cut off the bone and flesh, but I couldn’t get to the intestines. A wound like that is only a minor wound to the strong. It has to be finished with certainty.’
Wilhelm glared in the direction Park Cheol was. Extreme cold lingers on his sword.
Even though he couldn’t see it with his eyes, Wilhelm could clearly sense the presence of Park Chul and the others.
Park Cheol grapples with the wound, Jin So-wol supports him, and Seol Ah-hyun is alert.
The moment his frost sword tried to unleash a huge ice blast with the momentum to sweep the three of them away at once.
-Whee Oh Oh.
Black smoke mingled between the white steam with a light breeze.
‘This is…….’
The mixed smoke brushed past him. At that moment, Wilhelm’s instincts sounded the alarm.
“I found it.”
A low whisper. Immediately after attacking, Loudon Wilhelm bent his waist and swung his sword to the left rather than to the front.
-Qua gaga gagagak!
A wave of icebergs that rose violently along the ground.
-Too Quaaa!
Shortly after, the wave hit something and broke into pieces. Looking at the black smoke that rolled over the broken iceberg, Wilhelm swallowed his silence.
‘…… That’s a little strange.’
An unpleasant sensation as if something is stuffy. Wilhelm recalled the situation from a little while ago with a certain kind of uneasiness that bothered his nerves.
‘Come to think of it, how did they notice my skills?’
The wide-area attack aircraft Wilhelm used a moment ago, ‘Ice Blast.’
A wide-area skill that freezes the entire land at once by inserting a sword into the ground, and immediately causes a huge iceberg to erupt to attack enemies in all directions at the same time.
The moment he was about to use that skill, Ahn Soo-ho told his comrades to dodge before Wilhelm could even insert his sword. Wilhelm felt unnatural belatedly.
‘It was as if I knew what technique to use. And that’s not all. Even when I was about to attack the flame-handler, I knew I was going to target him in the steam and was waiting in advance. As if you know the future will happen…….’
What is it? Wilhelm’s blue eyes were filled with doubt for a moment.
However.
‘…… It just means that these are just as good warriors.’
In the other world he lived in, there were many strong people.
The era of war, when life and death were commonplace. Having a sixth sense capable of foreseeing the future was nothing more than a basic knowledge possessed by a moderately strong person.
-Tuhwaaa!!
Vapour spread all over the place due to Wilhelm’s sword attack. In the open field of view, Wilhelm quickly grasped the situation.
First, the man of flame. With the help of a spear-wielding woman, he had been stepping back for a long time. The wound on his butt shoulder is already gone. And a glass bottle with a red liquid lying on the floor next to it.
‘Potion.’
Are there potions in this world? Well, it was a world where the author of God opened the door to all dimensions with his own authority, so it was nothing strange.
Wilhelm’s eyes turned to the other side of Seol Ah-hyun, who was standing there as if to protect Park Chul and Jin So-wol.
Three people and one enemy on the other side.
A man in armor with a greatsword. A man turned into a werewolf. A woman handling ice. And he is a ‘mixed one’ from another world whom he encountered earlier.
They were each glaring at Wilhelm with their weapons or claws in front. At this, Wilhelm laughed bitterly.
-…… What are you so afraid of? Warriors.
-Roaring!
Park Cheol, who had finished recovering right after, created a wall of flames to surround Wilhelm and themselves again. However, Wilhelm did not care.
-Aren’t you guys the strongest people in this world? But why are you making such a frightened face?
As he said, the hunters were frightened by Wilhelm’s inaction, albeit little by little.
Wilhelm wasn’t so strong that he couldn’t even stand an opponent. However, he was never a good opponent. As proof of that, he was enduring the combined efforts of six people except Midsummer without difficulty.
Besides, they knew that Wilhelm hadn’t shown his full strength yet. According to Ahn Su-ho, at least Wilhelm had one ‘trump card’ that he hadn’t written yet.
If even Wilhelm, who wasn’t strong enough, was at this level, how much stronger would he become after demonstrating his full strength?
The faint fear on their faces stemmed from just such an awareness. And Wilhelm did a good job of seeing through that fact.
“f*ck it. Who was scared huh? Isn’t it! Jihoon Oh!”
Park Cheol pouted and shouted. Then Oh Ji-hoon, who was on the other side of him, smiled and nodded his head.
“The subject of flirting while leaning on the shoulders of juniors has survived. But I agree with that!”
-Kooung!
As Oh Ji-hoon took a step, nine swords lined up around him. Ahn Su-ho and Seong Yu-jin also lowered their stance and were ready to rush at any moment.
The same goes for the hunters on the other side. After recovering, Park Cheol wrapped his hands in flames, and Seol Ah-hyun and Jin So-wol put their weapons at the forefront. The cold air of midsummer surrounds them, blocking the heat of the flames.
Wilhelm was stronger than they thought. But they never backed down.
-…… That’s good.
From nob le mt l dot com
Laughing lightly at that courage or sense of duty, Wilhelm stretched out his hand toward the air.
-Foolish intruders. I acknowledge your inaction and acknowledge the state you have achieved. As proof of that recognition, I will also do my best.
-Go oh oh oh.
At that moment, the wind that continued to blow through the bony winter forest stopped.
‘No way.’
Ahn Suho reflexively looked up at the sky. The winter sky turned gray. The clouds in the sky began to slowly swirl around Wilhelm’s head.
“Are we finally taking it out…… !”
Other hunters also looked up at the sky at Ahn Su-ho’s murmur. And each of them had the same expression.
What grayish dark clouds converging to a single point represent. Everyone knew what it was after hearing it from Ahn Su-ho.
-Come.
While confronting back and forth with those hunters, Wilhelm muttered softly.
-My beloved sword. HrimturesYeah
-Card de de de de de de de de deux!
The next moment, the world froze.
