Dungeon Hunter Chapter 17:
Chapter 17) 15 Day War
Rock Creek Park, Washington, United States .
A large number of creatures poured from the entrance of the dungeon that covered 3 . 65 square kilometres .
Hundreds of intermediate 2Lv spider like creatures called arachne and the advanced 3Lv arachne queen that governed them .
Their size was different from general spiders . One of them was two metres while the arachne queen was more than double the size .
The arachne moved on their 8 legs and started to surround the soldiers .
South Korea had an unprecedented strong monster wave so the United States had committed a massive force to surround the dungeon .
In other words, they were well prepared .
“Start the attack!”
The soldiers simultaneously attacked the arachne . Thousands of bullets bounced off the outer shells of the arachne .
Although they had faced general lower grade creatures, the arachne were intermediate grade . The solid outer shell easily stopped the bullets .
Kwarurung!
The ground shook as a claymore mine buried in the ground burst .
But unlike the bullets, it was effective .
Kieeek!
A surprise blast . A few of the arachne lost their legs and torso . This was followed by snipers firing at the eyes of the arachne . On top of that, there was an outpouring of attacks from the tanks .
It became a scene of carnage . It was expected since they had inferior strength to the creatures .
The queen moved through the battlefield and woke up all their senses .
The queen soon scattered an intangible, odorless hormone around her . The arachne responded to their queen through their sense organs and soon moved to specific positions .
This allowed the giant spiders to march while avoiding the mines . They were followed by a pile of light, silver coloured thread .
“Kuaaaaak!”
“F-flesh! My flesh!”
The threads melted down anything that it touched .
The strong acids of the spider webs melted the human bodies and even the armoured tanks .
The arachne moved rapidly at 80 km/hr and rapidly covered the humans . The strong jaws then bit off the heads or limbs of the humans .
The legs were also a formidable weapon . The soft bodies of the humans were slashed by legs that were as sharp as a knife .
“Fire support request, Alpha Charlie 221 Bravo Delta 445 . We are engaged with at least 200 creatures . Requesting close air support . ”
Soon after the radio request, several hundred jet flights flew over .
The time it took the jet fighters to reach the dungeon was 3 minutes .
Tung! Tung! Dududududu!
The fighters flew low and commenced machine gun fire . The bullets that could even pierce the thickest iron alloy directly hit the arachne .
Dozens of arachne responded quickly by aiming their web but it didn’t reach .
The queen with eight legs looked at the sky filled with jet fighters with her eight eyes .
Kiik! Kiiik . A command was released with her hormones and the arachne legs started looking like a spring .
Then they jumped up in the blink of an eye . A formidable jumping power that allowed them to reach 100 times their body length!
Kwaching!
The arachne sat on top of the fighters and teased it with their sharp, front legs . The lives of the pilots were instantly claimed the moment the window was gone .
* * *
London, United Kingdom .
It was late evening and people were sleeping .
No one noticed when the monster wave began .
Rattle . Rattle .
The advanced 3Lv creatures called ‘Shadow Sinners’ moved with the chains on the leg sweeping the ground .
Kuoooooh .
Hundreds of creatures were moving in the moonlight .
* * *
Bern, Switzerland .
Hundreds of beasts were gathered in the centre of the city .
Pant pant pant pant……
With a wolf’s legs and the body of a lion, the intermediate 3Lv creature Chimera!
Over 300 chimeras were located in the burning city .
The chimeras seemed to be having dinner by eating the corpses .
* * *
Greece, Athens, Copenhagen, Denmark, Peru, Lima, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Ankara……
Monster waves started all over the world and it was called a disaster .
The creatures brutally trampled on the humans and their dignity .
The strength and damage of the monster wave varied from country to country .
The powerful army and firepower were helpless but the Awakened were on the rise .
Facing this disaster, the people prayed for Heroes . The Awakened started to move in accordance with that hope .
* * *
The 2nd monster wave in South Korea had been evaluated as the most powerful .
As a result, people often brought up the name Devil Hunters . In particular, there was a lot of interest in the mysterious leader .
This story wasn’t just confined to South Korea . All the world leaders were watching South Korea . The Dungeon Master’s appearance and unprecedented events afterwards meant it made the history books .
After multiple monster waves broke out, their interest changed to desperation as they asked Devil Hunters for support .
No, to be exact they asked for help from the leader of Devil Hunters .
He took down an advanced golem almost by himself…the army couldn’t take care of advanced creatures so it was natural to ask him to handle it .
In addition, the Awakened were sensitive about who was strong and they all said ‘the leader of Devil Hunters is a powerhouse . ’
But…the guild master Kim Yong-woo who received the requests for support was forced to worry .
They would pay for the support of Devil Hunters so that wasn’t Kim Yong-woo’s problem .
The problem was the main character .
‘There is no time to delay . The pressure coming from the government isn’t a joke . ’
These days, Kim Yong-woo’s phone was disconnected .
If he didn’t then his phone would receive millions of calls! There was no way he could answer all the calls .
But Kim Yong-woo was under intense stress because he couldn’t accept the proposal of the important figures . He already had a few premature grey hairs .
His lips were **** and his nails were chewed down .
‘This decision is too big to make alone . What do we do if there is a number of advanced creatures?’
The problem was the advanced creatures .
The army could only respond to general and intermediate creatures . Of course, it was difficult when there were a high number of them but the attacks of the advanced creatures were greater in quality .
They were impossible to fight against without nuclear weapons . However, many dungeons were in the country’s capital so it was ridiculous to drop a nuclear weapon on it .
But the Awakened also weren’t prepared . Especially if they needed to face 200 advanced creatures .
There was a limit to the power of Heaven’s Will . There was only a 50% chance of winning .
Naturally Kim Yong-woo had a deeply furrowed forehead .
Just as he was about to get on his feet .
Snap! The door opened and his dream appeared .
Kim Yong-woo felt like passing out as he saw the face .
He hesitated before lifting both hands .
“Oh…Master!”
I raised an eyebrow at Kim Yong-woo’s reaction .
It felt like bugs were crawling over my body .
“Tell me where the support requests are coming from . ”
Kim Yong-woo’s eyes started shining at my words .
His mind was going back and forth but he quickly understood me .
Anyway, he had no complaints since he had past experience with me . I wasn’t someone who would waste time on words .
Kim Yong-woo instantly stood up .
“Hmm hmm . The United States, United Kingdom and Switzerland, requests have just come from these three places . ”
“The United States, United Kingdom and Switzerland……”
“Accepting the United States’ request will give us the most benefits . ”
“I shall choose . ”
My tone was firm .
Kim Yong-woo closed his mouth .
‘All three places have dukes stationed there . ’
The United States, United Kingdom and Switzerland were places that contained the dungeons of dukes . It meant they were determined to produce monster waves .
2 years was enough to gain information about the human’s firepower and build up sufficient creatures to win .
‘Now isn’t a situation where I can comfortably beat Ariel . ’
The Duke that created the monster wave in the United States followed Grand Duke Ariel .
In my previous life, Ariel had sticky ties with the other demons . In addition, the demons that followed Ariel were extremely tenacious .
If I touched that monster wave then they might search until they discovered my identity .
If the dukes noticed then Grand Duke Ariel would definitely know . I needed to act in restraint . If I didn’t then the past might repeat .
It wouldn’t be good .
I decided to leave Grand Duke Ariel and her associated demons alone .
‘Duke Suguph is stationed in the United Kingdom . Duke Suguph . A demon belonging to Grand Duke Upa’s faction . ’
Grand Duke Upa .
In many ways, I had a twisted fate with that demon .
I was puzzled for a moment .
‘Weren’t Upa and his demons forbidden from attending the Demon World Auction? Then there is no need to cause a monster wave at this time . ’
I worried about it for a moment before an answer popped up .
‘He must have put everything on Pakan Griolli . Upa made a promise . ’
I could understand the series of events after Pakan Griolli left the Demon World Auction . Duke Pakan wouldn’t have confronted me of his own accord . Pakan Griolli blocked me according to a command .
But Upa didn’t have any compassion for his followers .
I opened my mouth after clearing up my thoughts .
“Devil Hunters will go to the United Kingdom . So prepare it right now . ”
Grand Duke Upa and the followers in his faction like Pakan Griolli . I would tear out Upa’s wings .
I would cut away his remaining wings .
If I made a mess of the flagship dungeons then it would take a considerable time for them to recover . And those with damage was bound to lag behind for a while .
At the same time, I was intensely curious .
Could Upa fly around with only one wing?
* * *
The Devil Hunters rode on a private plane .
After accepting the United Kingdom’s request, a plane was immediately prepared for us .
It was urgent so they prepared the plane in advance despite not knowing if we would accept the request .
It took exactly 8 hours and 30 minutes to reach London’s Heathrow Airport . We arrived 4 hours quicker than the usual flying time .
The dungeon was about 20 km away .
After arriving at Heathrow Airport, Devil Hunters emerged from the plane wearing black skull masks .
“Welcome . South Korea’s Heroes . ”
The British ambassador greeted them after they left the plane .
I got to the point instead of shaking hands .
“Where are the creatures that we need to handle?”
* * *
The cries of pain and despair spread throughout the city .
People had gone insane from the shades and held knives, causing the terrible tragedy of them killing each other .
“Kuahaha!”
“Die! Drop dead!”
The adults and children were going crazy .
One child stabbed an old man in the leg while an adult male bashed a child’s head in with a pipe . A woman was breaking a man’s neck .
A massacre .
Was this hell?
The shades were parasitic shadow creatures that gnawed away at the human spirit . It was an intermediate creature and could be called the natural enemy of humans .
“W-why? Why is everybody suddenly acting like this?”
But not everyone was controlled by the shades . The Awakened with a strong mentality or a certain level of intelligence could oppose it .
Then the shadow sinners ventured out .
The sound of iron could be heard in the distance . The shadow sinners were evolved forms of the shades .
But the shadow sinners could deal a strong physical blow to the ones who shook off the mind control .
The iron sphere they swung would destroy everything they touched . A greatly confused man was looking around the streets .
The shadow sinners could aim accurately despite being hundreds of metres away .
The iron spheres connected to iron chains were thrown…and kung! The man was crushed into an unrecognizable shape .
Kwang! Kwa kwang!
This seemed to be the starting point as dozens of jet fighters appeared in the sky with missiles . However, the shadow sinners technically only had half a body . Attacks without magic power wouldn’t work .
Hwiririk!
The shadow sinners had another big feature . They could see what would happen in the next 1 second with a very high probability .
They bused this move to swing their iron spheres at the jet fighters . The advanced shadow sinners weren’t threatened at all by the fighter jets . Their perception was far from common .
“These monsters!”
It was the last flurry of the fighter pilots .
The fight looked violent at first glance .
The shadow sinners could see for 1 second with high probability but there was no guarantee the iron spheres would hit . And the distance of the iron chains was only 500 metres . The shadow sinners couldn’t respond easily to attacks outside that range .
A few fighter pilots determined the distance . But it was difficult to escape outside the range .
The shadow sinners and shades were the best combination to deal with the firepower of humans .
The shades would affect the pilots trying to escape the range of the shadow sinners . After their madness mind control was used, the infected pilots started to attack their allies .
It quickly turned into an air battle .
The flow couldn’t be reversed once it changed .
The chaotic pilots flying in the sky were smashed by the iron spheres .
Their numbers declined sharply over time . In the end, the fighter pilots just became food . The ground troops were committed but were caught by the shades .
“Ah…god willing!”
Those who had their spirit broken fell to their knees and prayed for God .
They closed their eyes and hoped it was a dream .
However, it didn’t take them long to realize that the creatures were the reality . ‘Intense pain’ was used to bring the humans back to reality .
Everyone cried out as they were forced back to reality .
Then a group wearing black skull masks appeared .
A place blooming with madness, anger and despair .
I admired the sight .
Duke Suguph from Upa’s faction knew the exact weaknesses of humans .
He had the idea to use the shades .
The shades were definitely efficient among normal humans . Intermediate creatures were expensive to breed but Suguph considered it a luxury purchase .
‘Shadow sinners……’
The advanced creatures were even sent out to handle the Awakened .
Expensive advanced 3Lv creatures that cost 150,000 pt .
I could tell by this configuration that he used more than 500,000 points for the monster wave .
He purchased it while thinking of gaining points from the Awakened in the long term . This type of firepower against normal humans could also be a type of investment .
The shades and shadow sinners could be used to pull points from this place for a few more years .
But if Suguph’s plan collapsed in the beginning then the damage would be enormous . In that sense, Suguph had no luck .
“The shades are parasitic shadows . They will cause confusion to people with less than 30 intelligence . People with less than that should maintain a distance . ”
“What about the ones throwing iron spheres?”
I shook my head .
“I will take care of them . ”
“Will you be okay?”
The two types of creatures seemed powerful .
The higher ranked creatures would be unpredictable .
“Shouldn’t we trust in Captain-nim? Ahyu! This is why you are new hires . ”
Yoo Eun-hye clicked her tongue .
After the current flowing in her body disappeared, Yoo Eun-hye displayed a more straightforward personality .
I looked at the area that was like **** .
“Stop them before there is more damage . Get moving!”
* * *
The 10 year old Edward was lying underneath a pile of ruins .
His parents started showing delirium symptoms out of the blue . He had grabbed his newborn baby brother and locked them in a room when the building had collapsed .
The dust settled . But he woke up with intense pain .
“Rooney? Rooney, where are you?”
He called out for his brother Rooney but couldn’t even hear a whine . Edward’s lips were cracked as he tried to move his body .
However, he couldn’t move . His legs . They didn’t hurt . He was still terrified . A crushing fear . Edward moved his head and tried to find the whereabouts of his brother Rooney .
“Please . Rooney……are you hiding because you are afraid of mother and father? They are originally good people . It is just difficult because they have to work hard . So please……”
Edward had raised Rooney .
His parents were always busy so Edward gave him formula, changed the diapers and comforted him when he cried .
In addition, there were times when Edward stayed home alone with Rooney . Someone else might feel annoyed at taking care of a child but Edward didn’t . Rooney felt like a reward .
Then he discovered small hands among a pile of shattered buildings .
“Oh…Rooney!”
But he couldn’t move his body . Edward didn’t lose hope and opened his mouth .
“Wait a bit . People will be coming to rescue us . ”
Edward hurriedly turned his head . He could see people fighting each other . Monsters wielding iron spheres . Buildings were crumbling and there were corpses everywhere .
Edward was young so he still didn’t have a firm concept of death . He thought they were just ill and lying down .
‘Everybody isn’t sane . ’
But he could tell that people were in an abnormal state .
A uniformed soldier entered the vicinity . Edward waved and started shouting .
“Hey! Help us!”
But the soldier’s eyes were out of focus . He looked at Edward and aimed his gun .
“Kuhuhu……”
“W-what are you doing? Help us . Please get Rooney first . Please . He is still young so he can’t escape . ”
The soldier laughed and didn’t remove his gun from Edward . But while he tried to pull the trigger .
Kuong!
Something flew towards the soldier’s body from a distance . There was a tight compression and blood scattered everywhere .
Edward’s eyes widened .
The monsters wielding iron spheres . A monster had come flying from the sky .
Just as the monster was trying to get up from the ground .
“Tough **** . ”
A black skull masked man suddenly appeared like he had teleported . The man held a strange looking sword .
Chwaruk!
Then the monster and iron sphere split in half . The monster screamed loudly as it was split apart .
After 10 seconds, the monster disappeared without a trace .
Edward stared blankly at the scene before shouting .
“Ah! Ajusshi, please help me . No, please help my brother . His name is Rooney . He is young and can’t escape . ”
The man stared at Edward and said .
“Don’t you feel the pain?”
“Huh? Ahh . A doctor told me that I don’t feel any pain . But that isn’t important right now . My brother Rooney……”
“Your brother is dead . ”
“Huh?”
Edward knew the meaning of the word death . However, he didn’t have a distinct impression of death .
The man understood and brutally explained it to him .
“It means he won’t be able to move . Forever . ”
I had handled 2 shadow sinners in approximately 30 minutes .
Of course, if I used my power then 10 minutes would be enough . My total stats added up to 410 . The shadow sinners only had 340 stats and wouldn’t even be able to catch my ankle . However, I was pretending to be an Awakened so there were some constraints .
I handled two shadow sinners and saw the young boy .
His lower half was completely crushed by the building . At first, I thought he was numb but the child’s face showed no signs of pain . I was curious and opened Mind’s Eye .
| Name: Edward Windsor | |||
| Occupation | Warrior (Hero) | Title | None |
| Stats | |||
| Strength | 14 | Intelligence | 34 |
| Agility | 15 | Stamina | 17 |
| Magic Power | 32 | ||
| Potential: (112/441)
Uniqueness: None Skill: No Pain (Ex R) |
|||
Great potential .
I was about 20 points higher than Yoo Eun-hye and was one of the highest I had seen among the humans .
But I was more surprised by the child’s name .
‘Edward Windsor? One of the 10 Heroes, Edward Windsor?’
Edward Windsor . Duke Slayer!
He was the direct cause of brutally killing 10 of Grand Duke Pandemonium’s dukes . Even though his raid groups were wiped out, he managed to survive and obtain 10 Dungeon Cores .
But I never heard that he was a paraplegic .
Maybe he overcame it with a skill…right now he still had the face of a naive boy .
Meeting in this way . Coincidence or destiny?
Edward asked me .
“S-such a thing? Rooney was just born……”
I was worried for a brief moment .
It looked like he prized his brother very much .
I could use Chrisley’s undead resurrection and a doppelganger skill to deceive him . This would allow me to fully use one of the mighty 10 Heroes .
However, the aftermath would be terrible if he discovered the truth .
Edward Windsor . I talent that couldn’t be missed .
I decided to tweak the direction a little bit .
“Death can come to anyone regardless of age . However, your brother is dead because of the creatures . Those guys making people go crazy are the ones who killed your brother . ”
“Ah… . . ”
Tears gathered in Edward’s eyes .
“So now Rooney won’t move?”
“Yes . ”
“Forever?”
Forever . ”
“Ah… . . !”
Edward screamed as tears fell down his cheeks .
Just then, rain fell from the sky like a fairy tale . The dark clouds seemed to represent Edward’s feelings .
He was crying alone . And as Edward’s cries died down, I opened my mouth .
“Do you want revenge? Fight against the monsters that killed your brother and parents . If so, nod your head . I will give you power . ”
“Power……”
“A power that can kill the monsters . Power for revenge! Do you want it?”
“M-monsters…I want to kill . ”
Edward nodded .
Then he slumped down . He was stunned .
I looked at him and laughed .
“Welcome to the Devil Hunters . Edward Windsor . ”
There really was a chain of fate .
Edward didn’t know .
The monsters that killed his brother and family .
I stood in the midst of those monsters .
And I was the exceptional one!
* * *
Edward’s lower half was completely crushed . It wasn’t at a level that modern medicine could control . A common potion also wouldn’t work .
My team was puzzled as I brought Edward .
“A new member . ”
I said curtly . They knew not to question me . I ignored them and brought Edward to the plane . The British ambassador expressed his thanks again but I ignored it .
In the end, we blocked the monster wave in the United Kingdom . Now was the next turn . My plan was to interfere with the demons getting points as much as possible .
Edward didn’t wake up .
He was a young child suffering from a strong shock .
Thanks to his 34 intelligence, he was immune from the shade’s mind control .
Yoo Eun-hye and Lee Ji-hye felt pity and started nursing Edward . They wiped his sweat when Edward was screaming from a nightmare and changed his underwear when he peed .
Edward was unconscious for 3 days before waking up .
“W-where? Where is my brother Rooney?”
Edward immediately asked for his brother after waking up .
The members were all wearing magic tools for translation . The items that emerged the most from the dungeon were those enchanted with translations .
Yoo Eun-hye could understand Edward’s words through her left earring . Yoo Eun-hye’s words were automatically translated as they reached Edward’s ears .
“Hi, Edward? Your name is Edward right? Nice to meet you . I am Yoo Eun-hye . ”
“Where are my parents? Who are you… . . ?”
Edward looked around .
It was an unfamiliar place . He also felt a bit dizzy .
Yoo Eun-hye and Edward weren’t the only ones in this place . Other people he weren’t familiar with could be seen as he turned his head .
Yoo Eun-hye gave a benign smile .
“We are the Devil Hunters raid group . Our leader rescued you . Don’t you remember?”
Edward trembled .
At the same time, he grabbed his head like he had a headache .
“Ah……! T-then it wasn’t a dream?”
“Yes . I would also like to think it is a dream . You have gone through a lot . Still, it is over . ”
“I didn’t think so . This is reality……”
Edward tried to turn his body .
But he made a puzzled expression as he realized his lower body wasn’t moving .
“First, it is urgent to treat you with a potion . I wanted to send you to a big hospital with modern medicine but Captain-nim had the opposite opinion…ah, don’t worry . Everything depends on the will of the individual . You can become better if you work for it! There will be a doctor with us and just tell me if there are any difficulties . Huu!”
Yoo Eun-hye sighed with pity .
She had gone through something similar so she could sympathize .
Edward woke up after 3 days and during that time, Devil Hunters had taken care of the monster wave in Sweden .
Necessary items and a personal physician were available for him . The doctor shook his head while watching Edward’s state . There was a lack of facilities but he took care of anything urgent with the first aid kit .
Bump!
The door opened and a new figure appeared .
Edward’s eyes widened .
It was the man who grabbed his hand as Edward was falling down a cliff and asked ‘do you want to live?’ It was like the devil was offering him power .
Now it really couldn’t be called a dream .
That man wouldn’t be in Edward’s dream .
This was reality . The ghastly reality!
Yoo Eun-hye got up .
“Captain-nim!” Don’t leave a patient on the plane . He is a 10 year old child . The urgent crisis was passed over with the potion but… . . Psychological help……”
“You woke up . ”
The man said .
Edward looked at the man .
An overwhelming presence . It was a first . A strangely unreal atmosphere was around the man . Questions about why he was here swirled in his head .
He inwardly panicked . No pain . Edward couldn’t feel anything so his mind was in overdrive . Edward’s instincts could determine what type of man this was .
But he never felt like this before .
The other day he was in a very confused state .
Edward’s face spasmed as he tried to talk .
“Who is ajusshi?”
“The one who will give you strength . ”
The man said without hesitation . He spoke like it was the obvious truth .
Edward remembered that day .
“Monsters…the strength to kill them?”
“If you don’t want it then tell me . Commit suicide right now . ”
“Captain-nim!”
Yoo Eun-hye was aghast .
Edward was baffled . He was 10 years old . But even peer pressure had a limit . It was too soon to work through everything .
And the man spoke like he didn’t care .
“I’ll show you . The power you can have . ”
* * *
Athens, Greece .
A dungeon ruled by an earl . The population was only 10 million but the earl belonged to Grand Duke’s faction .
I wanted to cut off Upa’s hands and feet . I didn’t care about the earl .
I moved without hesitation once the request from Greece was received .
In Athens, a monster wave consisting of gargoyles, harpies and sleep moths was in full swing .
Due to their limitations, Greece didn’t have superior military power . There was a large number of lower creatures so the situation could be difficult to handle .
“Taking care of the gargoyles is simple . Cut their throats . They won’t recover and will instantly turn to stone . The harpies have a weak point at the joints connecting their shoulders . Keep this in mind and it will be helpful while fighting . The sleep moths aren’t aggressive and will hardly ever attack first . ”
There was a briefing during the flight . But I explained it once again .
Edward was watching me from a wheelchair . Lee Ji-hye pushed the wheelchair .
Yoo Eun-hye needed to raise her stats and gain some experience .
I looked at the faces of the team members and said .
“Sweep them all up . ”
“Go!”
The crew cried out simultaneously .
They started to move in predetermined teams of two .
I worked alone . Even if someone followed me, I still had the habit of working alone .
Rather, Krasla had such a role . Krasla was fulfilling that role for Yoo Eun-hye . Krasla could properly support Yoo Eun-hye while she was growing .
I took out Wrath .
Then I walked slowly towards the approaching creatures .
Edward was watching from behind with confusion .
The man’s movements .
As the battle went on, the bodies of the creatures were scattered around him .
Sometimes a wonderful image could be seen .
The man swept up hundreds of creatures in 10 minutes .
Edward only stared at the man .
‘Can I get that strength?’
Edward couldn’t believe that a man could move like that . It was happening right in front of his eyes but he couldn’t believe it .
The Awakened .
People who had recently emerged .
Their numbers grew steadily and news was always heard about them . Due to the influence of his parents, Edward used to watch the news every evening .
People gained power all of a sudden so wouldn’t that cause plenty of violent crimes?
Dozens of actions against the police or robbing a bank…in the United States, there was the impression that the Awakened weren’t helpful .
Plenty of Awakened were shot or arrested .
Humans were social animals and it was no different for the Awakened . Those with power were forced to live with ordinary humans so there were bound to be ‘limitations . ’
In fact, Edward had seen some Awakened . They were quite strong . Bending steel or running 100 metres in a few seconds .
But they were nothing in front of this man’s overwhelming strength . He was unmatched among those gathered here . An existence that could stand alone . The man didn’t seem to have any limitations .
‘No . My legs are broken . I can’t move like that . ’
Edward felt his chest become tight . He was still unsure about the man’s question .
Certainly, the man’s movements were amazing . However, he was skeptical about whether he could obtain that power . Edward was surprisingly cool-headed in this regard .
This was reality . Edward had seen unrealistic elements like the creatures but he failed to realize he could break his limits .
“Ah… . . ”
The man silently headed to Edward .
Edward didn’t say a word .
He headed to 5 more countries with Edward . He always watched that man fighting while in a wheelchair . It was like eyes were painted in the back of the head .
The enemies who killed his brother . The ones who caused the changes to his parents .
He had a fierce hatred for the creatures . He felt miserable as he could only watch .
The man didn’t say anything to Edward .
He just demonstrated .
But Edward’s walls were gradually collapsing .
The man was an immovable force . It might be unrealistic but it felt like he could make the impossible happen . He wanted to get power like that .
After Europe, the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, Edward finally said .
“Captain-nim . Give me strength . The strength to defeat the monsters . ”
Rather than the man imposing his choice on him, Edward decided to move himself .
Finally, the walls had cracked .
The war stopped after 15 days,
* * *
The method to become stronger was simple .
They had to want to become stronger .
But this required a strong impetus .
The driving force behind Edward was anger . The problem was the courage to break the wall itself . He had to be willing to move his limits .
Now he had nodded his head . A good spirit filled with enthusiasm .
I left Edward . He craved strength and would work hard . Even if he was a child, Edward Windsor was still one of the future 10 Heroes . I was sure he wouldn’t disappoint me .
Edward Windsor was longing for power .
At the same thing, I felt a strange feeling .
Unfortunately, Yoo Eun-hye wasn’t one of the 10 Heroes . She had a similar strength but that was all . In contrast, Edward Windsor was a name that everyone acknowledged .
Such an Awakened had entered a demon’s hands .
This feeling was close to bliss .
The feeling of getting my hand on an expensive toy . I would assemble the toy to fit my taste buds .
The legs wouldn’t be a problem . An elixir was enough to fix it .
One of the 10 Heroes in the future……
Would he be finished under my hands?
I was really looking forward to it .
|
-After 30 minutes, you will be transferred to the Demon World Auction . You can be accompanied by one creature . |
And the Demon World Auction as well .
It was just like my expectations .
I smirked as I looked at the message floating in the air of the dungeon’s top floor .
