Dungeon Hunter Chapter 121:
Chapter 121: Flesh and Bones (2)
Kuooong!
A giant worm stretched out . A huge hole appeared in front of the dungeon where thousands of creatures were pouring out of it .
"For the sake of our God . "
There was an existence leading the monsters .
A demon in Okullos’ faction, Azumun!
His soul had been assimilated with 12 demons . He viewed almost all the other demons as equals . Okullos was their ‘God’ and as a tribute to him, Azumun painted his face gold .
Not one bit of Azumun’s soul would eventually remain . Over time, his mind would be crushed into dust . But right now, he still had some individual thoughts .
Gruk! Gruruk!
A large number of orcs were at the entrance to the dungeon . Sik Sik moved the creatures outside . However, this couldn’t stop the aggression of the orcs .
"Blame your master . ”
Azumun pulled out a green bow . A strong wind pressure rose as the bowstring was pulled back . But there wasn’t the sound of an explosion as the bowstring was released .
Grruk?
Instead, air bubbles formed on the shoulders of the orcs . Although they tried to hurriedly remove them with their hands, the air bubbles didn’t disappear . The air bubbles just got bigger . . .
Peng!
They burst with a large sound . However, it didn’t end with just popping .
Monsters made of green vines emerged from the bodies of the orcs, tearing them apart .
"Our God wants to rule this dungeon . Accept it quietly . ”
Kieeeek!
The green monsters bit at random .
Soon thousands of creatures rushed inside .
The full scale invasion began .
The top floor of China’s dungeon .
Sik Sik’s face was red and she was fidgeting restlessly .
“Sik Sik! These bad people! It is foul to have so many invading!”
Azumun and his creatures were coming up towards the top floor .
There were many of them and their quality was also good .
China’s dungeon was barely ready, but this treatment was too harsh . If they were only lower grade creatures like orcs or gargoyles then she would be able to stop them .
"That wicked girl Yihi . I asked her for help so why isn’t there any reaction? Sik Sik! That bad girl!”
Sik Sik was afraid . She had completed a dual contract . If the Dungeon Core was broken then she would ‘vanish . ’ She would disappear without leaving even a piece of her soul behind .
Therefore she had to give up her pride to ask for help, but Yihi didn’t answer her .
The enemy was advancing too fast . Despite the defense, at this rate the creatures would reach the top floor in less than an hour .
“Sik Sik . . . sniffle!”
Tears and a runny nose occurred thanks to her fear . In fact, Sik Sik was very timid . There was a ranking among the fairies . Sik Sik used anger as a way to hide her fear .
“Sniffle! Sniffle! I don’t want to disappear! No!”
Sik Sik wiped away the leaking tears with the back of her hand .
A fairy couldn’t die . Even if they received a severe blow, a fairy would just return to nature . The fairy would spend billions of years trying to restore themselves . There was no guarantee that their original ego would recover, but they wouldn’t die .
However, extinction was different . They would be deprived of all opportunities . There was no way to recover . . .
An instinctive fear prevailed . Her eyes turned to the hologram floating above the Dungeon Core .
The red dots had reached the 28th floor . China’s dungeon had 29 floors, so there was only one remaining .
“Yihi, that bad girl . I also hate Master!”
"Right . ”
"……?"
A voice was suddenly heard .
Sik Sik’s eyes widened as she turned her head .
The magic circle to move between Dungeon Cores had been activated . Furthermore, Sik Sik saw a very welcome presence .
The person who ruled three dungeons . The Dungeon Master!
He showed up with strong creatures .
“The current status of the enemies?”
Sik Sik replied to the question .
"The 28th floor . . . they’ve reached it . ”
"I came just in time . ”
“M-Master . Are you going to stop them?”
"Naturally . ”
The Dungeon Master just laughed .
"They set foot in here without permission . I will obliterate them . ”
I had thrown Okullos’ arm in front of the China dungeon . Okullos had certainly found the specific location of the dungeon through the arm . Otherwise, there was no reason to hit this place first .
Anyway, he tried to destroy this place while the owner wasn’t home, and that would cost him . Coming to China . . . he mistakenly thought it was my headquarters .
His strategy was planned around a mistake .
A demon and two thousand creatures . This was enough to take over an empty house .
“Azumun . No, should I call you Okullos?”
"He is my God . I am Azumun . A faithful follower . ”
I faced Azumun and his creatures near the entrance to the 29th floor . The numbers on Azumun’s side were overwhelming . However, my side was superior in terms of quality .
'It seems like the assimilation hasn’t been completed . ’
There wasn’t a lot known about assimilation . But there was no focus in Azumun’s eyes . He gave off the feeling that he was looking elsewhere .
Okullos and the other demons . All of them were looking at the current situation as well .
Azumun clicked his tongue and said .
"This would have been the perfect raid . How did you notice?”
“Isn’t it an obvious plan to attack the dungeon while I am busy at the Demon World Auction?”
"If you knew then you would have been more prepared . Your current appearance . . . it seems like you were in a hurry . Then victory lies with me . ”
"You will know soon enough . ”
I started laughing .
Those who were weak commonly exaggerated in front of their enemies . For those with true power, having fewer numbers wouldn’t be a problem .
More than anything, trying to catch me by surprise wasn’t a success .
“Randalph Brigsiel . You can’t join the ranks of evolution . Our God does not want you . ”
"All of you can enjoy evolution on your own . It won’t change the fact that I am a hunter!”
I pulled out Wrath .
Kuaaang!
At the same time, Lightning God let out a howl as it emerged .
Azumun’s arms intersected with the bow . His Quick Fire skill aimed towards me .
'Is it because of assimilation? He seems a little bit stronger . '
The skill itself wasn’t a big threat to me . Intelligence was related to anti-magic power and I had 93 points . I was immune to quite a few skills . But the speed was unusual . Due to the soul assimilation, his power seemed to be enhanced . If this also happened with Okullos then it would be very troublesome .
"You have crossed the line . However, there is a limit when you are alone!”
"Based on the tone, I guess those are Okullos’ words . Is your identity becoming a little hazy?”
"Shut up!"
Pasak!
A magic arrow passed right next to me . It only scratched my cheek a little bit but air bubbles formed . I frowned as I touched an air bubble . It felt like something inside the air bubble was trying to take root . It wasn’t big but it didn’t seem wise to let it continue .
It would have been easier if I had the Wrath or Sloth skills but . . . they disappeared after receiving the third set item . I still didn’t know what Corruption did . However, Azumun wasn’t someone that I needed to use such a skill on .
'The defense on the right is lax . ’
He was moving his right arm like it was unfamiliar . The right arm I cut off of Okullos was clearly having an effect . It was a weak point . I should take advantage of it in order to win faster .
“Dark Sword . ”
The sword was locked in darkness . Everything cut by the skill couldn’t be healed .
Chwack!
It cut the flying magic arrows . I circled Azumun and persistently aimed for his right side .
“This guy . . . !”
Azumun obviously knew what I was doing . But it was impossible to stop even if he knew . Plus, I wasn’t the only one aiming for Azumun .
Kuaang!
An attack that I prepared beforehand struck while Azumun was nervously concentrating on me .
Lightning God made contact with Azumun’s left ankle .
“Kuaack!”
He tried to avoid it but the ankle immediately disappeared .
Azumun’s body twisted and he collapsed .
I approached and looked down on him .
"Azumun, Okullos . You are my prey . Prey will never win over the hunter . ”
"It doesn’t matter how strong you are . This is just the beginning!”
"We have the same idea . This . . . is just the beginning . ”
Puok!
Even the right ankle was cut off .
"Kuaaaak!"
"Now it is more balanced . ”
Once I completely blocked him from escaping, I looked around .
Indeed . The overwhelming difference in numbers was being overcome . The creatures couldn’t pierce through and were coming to a standstill .
Of course, they could become dangerous if left alone .
I had to alter the mood before that happened . Demonstrating an existence with absolute power .
It was more than I imagined . I started to play with the two thousand creatures .
Azumun was collapsed and couldn’t help . The creatures fought with determination but they very rarely fought desperately .
Kueong! Kueong!
The frightened ogres quickly left the battlefield . Hundreds of creatures followed them .
I had instantly taken away their power . The only ones left were the rabble .
"This is a waste of time . Go and clean them up . ”
"Please leave it to me, Dungeon Master . I will clean them up within 10 minutes . ”
Krasla brandished his red spear .
“I’ll do it! Clean up!”
The energetic Gigantes wielded an enormous club to devastate the enemy . A wave of magic power swept over the creatures every time he moved his club .
The golems hadn’t participated in this fight since their goal was to stop anyone from interfering . Thanks to that, I managed to handle Azumun quickly .
It took less than 10 minutes to clean up the remaining creatures .
Once the throat of the last troll was pierced, Krasla returned and went down on one knee . Blood covered his body but his attitude showed that he didn’t care .
"All of the enemies have been wiped out . ”
"Lead the remaining troops and take care of the fleeing creatures . There are too many of them for Chrisley to handle alone . ”
Chrisley was leading all the saber tigers . It was a slightly hard task so the group also consisted of White and Black .
"We will move immediately . "
Krasla, Gigantes, the lich, the golems and the remaining creatures headed downstairs .
Soon there was only corpses around me .
'There is one living . ’
I made a correction . It wasn’t only corpses .
Azumun who had his ankles cut off was still knocked out on the ground . He was severely bleeding . He had been left bleeding for 10 minutes .
I approached Azumun carefully and grabbed his head .
Bam!
I strongly slapped his cheeks . After repeating that action multiple times, Azumun’s eyelids slowly opened .
“Kuooh . . . ”
“Wake up, Azumun . ”
"D . . . ead . ”
He struggled to squeeze out a word . He thought he was dying, but unfortunately, I wasn’t that generous .
I bent down to Azumun’s ear and said .
"No, you’re not dying . You won’t die until you feel the pain of your soul being torn . ”
Wouldn’t making Azumun tattered also deal a blow to Okullos?
I was very curious .
The souls might be assimilated but that didn’t mean they were safe . I smiled as I imagined Okullos bending over from the pain of his bones being broken .
And . . . Azumun trembled as he saw my smile .
