Dungeon Hunter Chapter 233:
Chapter 233: Camael (2)
The number of angels decreased slowly .
There weren’t many creatures left under my control .
Even though I removed the angels here, the rest were vying with the creatures .
It was a pure fight .
I needed to bind Camael’s feet here indefinitely .
It was at that time .
Papapat!
Camael noticed my intentions . I also knew that he didn’t have enough power to stop me . Then Camael started to move away from the angels . I was sure it was to hunt the demons and creatures .
There was no reason for me to leave him alone .
Kwaang!
Lightning God moved ahead . It completely swallowed up Camael’s body . It didn’t deal any damage, but it affected his movements .
I instantly moved in front of Camael .
"Where are you going?”
My mouth was in a thin line .
My speed was superior . He wouldn’t be able to leave this place without my permission .
“ . . . . . . ”
Camael frowned slightly .
“So you’re not a doll . ”
My smile widened .
It was the first time I saw any expression on his face since I encountered him .
The fight had lasted for three days . Yet I didn’t know when it would end . It was because the angel killing rate had slowed down a lot .
-Number of angels remaining: 153,229 |
The creatures had excellent detection capabilities and found the angels . The problem was that the number decreased by less than 1,000 in an hour . I had to keep fighting as the speed slowed down .
It was a tedious war of attrition . I couldn’t rest while Camael had time to recharge . The shield was an inherent power so it didn’t contain any holy power .
I was aware of this and took a defensive stance . I only went out actively when Camael tried to get away . However, magic power was consumed as these actions were frequently repeated .
If this continued then I would only be able to last one more fortnight . It took more magic power than expected to compete with him . There was a limit to how defensive I could be .
‘I have lost a lot of creatures . ’
I was still receiving reports through Yihi .
The total number was still more than the angels .
However, the angels led by Camael were much stronger than the creatures at Greenwich Observatory . It was a situation where I couldn’t be sure if my creatures could win .
The hopeful observation . . .
‘Humans . ’
It was the participation of humans .
I honestly believed it . The community of humans in Korea moved . Most of the remaining Awakened gathered to oppose the angels .
The humans were stronger when united . It was a truth I learnt from previous experience . And they became stronger quickly . Heroes emerged and it was humans who dealt with the dukes and grand dukes in the end .
It was great that they didn’t attack my empty dungeon and instead helped with the angels .
‘Chrisley’s plan turned out well . ’
This was a plan that Chrisley had thought of . Chrisley moved Yoo Eun-hye and Yoo Eun-hye agitated the humans . Thanks to that, I had a little help .
For example . . . it was difficult to kill the angels moving on the outskirts . It was satisfactory to let the humans deal with it .
In particular, the activities of the Korean Awakened were dazzling . Each of the Awakened had a high level and had no difficulty in dealing with the angels . It was a little rewarding after I raised them .
"The more you and I fight, the angrier you seem to be . ”
A devastated land . It stretched out all the way to the horizon . The traces of my fight with Camael were carved all over the land .
Camael wielded his spear angrily .
I lightly shrugged as I easily got rid of them . I was more bored than him .
The 7th day .
Camael started to change his behaviour . He acted like he wanted to get away from this boring war of attrition . He decided to move while ignoring me .
But I wasn’t going to let him go . The strikes caused him to flinch and pause . I set up a wall with Pride’s flames and used Power of Domination . In addition, my True Words weren’t broken at all .
“Stop . ”
It wasn’t an offensive ability so it had some effect . The duration wasn’t long, but it was enough to bind his feet . I realized that I could achieve what I wanted without hitting him, so I aimed at that part .
Camael’s shield was solely for defense . If I didn’t intend to use an attack then he couldn’t completely stop it .
I just talked and Camael stopped moving . At the same time, Camael’s face distorted . It was a really strange move .
He couldn’t move freely nor defeat me in battle . The angels were slowed down and Camael had no choice but to be influenced .
Camael started moving again .
“Stop . ”
And he stopped .
Of course, it didn’t always work .
Sometimes he managed to defend against True Words . It was a fight of probability . Every time it didn’t work, I had to go in person to stop him .
‘Approximately 100,000 are left . ’
It was the key to how long this war of attrition would last .
Tsk . I clicked my tongue . The number of times True Words worked against Camael decreased .
On the 15th day .
I started feeling a burden on my body . I couldn’t catch Camael’s movements like before . Sometimes I missed him and a lot of creatures died .
I gritted my teeth . I bought more with the points I earned, but the creatures died much faster . There were only 40,000 creatures left .
On the other hand, there were 20,000 angels remaining .
The number was now only decreasing by 300~400 every day .
If this continued, I would be defeated .
If I lost all my creatures and dungeon then I would have nothing left to supplement me .
-Master . Gaparam has made a large quantity of homunculi . They are specialized in hunting angels . Although they have a short lifespan, he learnt about angels while studying Gustarte . Yihihi!
A communication suddenly came from Yihi .
Ahh, Gaparam . He was also there . He had asked me for some time before the battle began . I had agreed and now the results could be seen .
Homunculi that were specialized for hunting angels!
After Yihi’s words, the speed that the angels were killed at increased significantly .
Finally, there were only 400 left at the end of the 20th day .
But . . . it was hard for the number to decrease once it reached 400 .
‘Hiding . ’
They needed to be eliminated one by one . Camael felt the danger and scattered the angels across the world .
If he could drag out the time then it would be his victory .
21st day . There were 350 remaining .
22nd day . 270 left .
At the end of the 25th day, there were 10 angels alive .
But . . . I needed to leave some magic power behind in order to kill Camael . I would soon reach my limit .
I was walking a thin line .
And on the 28th day .
-Number of angels remaining: 1 |
The one remaining angel hadn’t been killed yet .
While Camael escaped once more, the demons and creatures hastily searched for the remaining angel .
Yoo Eun-hye led 300 Awakened to fight the angels . At first, there were 1,000 of them . However, this was the number remaining after one month . She was able to have this many people left because of her intelligence .
“I don’t see any angels . Are they all wiped out?”
An Awakened next to Yoo Eun-hye asked . But Yoo Eun-hye firmly shook her head .
"There are still some left . It is obvious . Tell the other troops . Search around carefully!”
The different Awakened parties had scattered across the world . However, news came that angels hadn’t been found for a few days .
Everyone thought it was over . They became more relaxed .
However, Yoo Eun-hye knew that it wasn’t over .
Kung! Kwarurung!
A huge sound came from far away .
“How terrible . A fight involving the demon king . ”
It was the sound of fighting between the strongest angel and the demon king . Even though the distance was very far away, the sound of them fighting could be heard .
The world was locked in darkness and light repeatedly leaked out .
If humans saw that fight then they would realize how small they were .
“Here! The last angel!”
It was at that time . An Awakened shouted loudly .
This place was near Pandemonium’s dungeon . It was filled with the corpses of many creatures . It was where Camael was summoned .
No one had thought of approaching this area .
The stench of rotting corpses was a good enough reason .
Yet a small light was coming from Pandemonium’s corpse . The light was clearly an angel .
“You hid well . ”
The last angel!
When Camael killed Pandemonium, it was obvious that he secretly hid an angel in the corpse .
It was preparation for this situation .
However, the body decayed and the light eventually leaked out .
It was correct . A very small angel was hiding inside the corpse .
Yoo Eun-hye spoke slowly as she watched it .
“Get rid of it . ”
Finally!
I smiled with satisfaction .
The number of remaining angels finally reached zero .
At the same time, the protective shield gradually faded away .
Soon Camael was naked .
His expression was shocked . His face reddened . Was he not going to accept his defeat?
“Camael . Now I will finish this . ”
I unleashed all my stored magic power .
It was magic power that I placed in reserve after some calculations .
Huuuuong!
A strong storm blew . Pride’s flames set up endless barriers .
Only Camael was left .
