Dungeon Hunter Chapter 184:

Chapter 184: Half Awakening (2)

“She is awakening . ”

A vast amount of holy power .

My skin was prickling .

I had been observing Kim Yura over the last few days to make sure she was the Saintess .

And she finally awakened .

The surrounding creatures couldn’t withstand the light and were destroyed . In fact, the vampires were swept away by the light .

Even my transcendent skin was stinging .

‘But it is only a half awakening . ’

I slowly went up to her .

The Saintess was still in a terrible state . Did she awaken due to her hatred of the world?

However, her body was bubbling due to the excess of holy power .

She would self-destruct in the near future .

So I called it half awakening .

In order to stop this rampage, I needed to erase her extreme emotions .

Therefore . . . I approached her quietly .

“Do you want to save her?”

I was looking at Kim Yura’s sister as I spoke .

Kim Yura didn’t answer . No, she couldn’t answer .  However, I could see the expressions in her eyes . She was wondering about my identity since I had appeared out of nowhere .

"If you reply too late then I can’t save her . There is at most 20 seconds left . ”

I prompted her for a reply . Actually, Kim Min-ji had just stopped breathing . There was still enough oxygen to save her . Of course, she wouldn’t be the same as before but it was possible to save her life .

“Ah . . . ah . . . ”

Kim Yura regained her spirit and nodded .

"If I save your sister, what will you give me?”

Naturally it wasn’t for free . I wasn’t generous enough to just give something away .

I was a demon and would act strictly on a contract .

It wasn’t normal circumstances so the contract wouldn’t be that favourable .

There was no choice as time was short .  There was only one thing that Kim Yura could give me .

'I will completely own her . ’

Kim Yura seemed to be trying to speak . Her eyes only contained the desire to save her little sister .

In my previous life, Kim Yura wasn’t a half awakened .

It was inevitable . Martin’s invasion was created by me . Originally this hadn’t happened .

In my previous life, Kim Yura awakened completely and became a Saintess who massacred demons and creatures . Although her name wasn’t that well known, it still held some weight because she was a Saintess .

I didn’t know what effect the half awakening would cause, but she was still a Saintess . I just needed to somehow save her sister .

I took out a bottle from my magic bag .

‘Originally, this was used for the manufacturing of homunculi . ’

I shrugged . It was a potion made by Gaparam . It was the result of purchasing various expensive materials, ingredients from the Tree of Origin and six months’ worth of work .

It was much better than the elixir . The potion could literally breathe life into someone who had stopped breathing . It wouldn’t work on strong existences but was enough for a human .

A total of two were made and I had one of them . I had mixed my blood into this bottle .

The potion mixed with my blood and turned black .

I opened the bottle and fed half of it to her . The potion flowed down Kim Min-ji’s neck and her body started to regenerate . In the case of her severed lower body, I could attach it again but decided not to . It was because the process would use up all of the potion .

The other half was for Kim Yura .

Blood returned to Kim Min-ji’s face as life was gradually restored .

Kim Min-ji opened her eyes with a puzzled expression .

“Unni . . . ?”

"Ah . . . !"

Kim Yura stretched out and hugged her . Her tears dried but she still needed to show her thanks .

"Drink . "

I handed over the bottle that contained the other half of the potion .

Kim Yura hesitated for a moment so I said .

"It will improve your condition . ”

Bubbles were still forming on Kim Yura’s skin . Her skin was already badly burned and the bubbles made it obvious that she would soon self-destruct .

The problem was the side effect from mixing in my blood . . .

'A contract of dependency . It is essential that she drinks my blood . ’

I considered using her sister as a hostage but that meant she wouldn't move with 100% effort . A contract was necessary for her to help me voluntarily . I could feel more assured .

However, there was the possibility that there would be a backlash by the holy power against the blood of a demon . No, there was a high probability .

Still, I noted the half awakening .

Her imperfect holy power was devouring her body . My blood might play a role in neutralizing it . It was a 5:5 gamble .

The Saintess was already in my hands . As long as Martin didn’t obtain her, it wouldn’t be a huge loss if she died . Either way, the light from the forest was a ‘sign’ and Martin would be heading here . He didn’t have significant strength so taking care of him wouldn’t be a problem .

Gulp!

Kim Yura took the bottle and drank it without hesitation . She saw her sister surviving so she thought the potion was harmless .

However . . .

“Aaaaack!”

“U-Unni? No!”

There was an effect as soon as she swallowed it .

Her body twisted as the holy magic and my magic started to get tangled up .

'It is a fight . ’

I watched the scene with my arms folded .

As expected, there were empty spots due to the half awakening . My magic power penetrated those empty areas and the fight started .

“Aaaaack!”

Kim Yura screamed and shuddered . Separate from the fight between magic powers, her body was slowly healing itself . The burns disappeared, the nerves below her waist were revived and her twisted posture was fixed .

"Hrmm . . . "

I touched my jaw .

I wanted to observe this process but an uninvited guest was coming .

‘Martin . You are coming directly!’

I started laughing .

A few kilometres away .

I felt a strong presence approaching .

It was clearly Martin .

‘He is apprehensive . ’

The creatures from the dungeons came out and blocked his advance into the forest . In the end, Martin found it impossible to retrieve the sword that was a sign the Saintess had appeared .

I thought to myself .

If I missed this chance then it might not come again!

I would move directly .

‘I absolutely can’t miss him . ’

So far Martin had been hiding and I couldn’t find him . Now that Martin had surfaced, there was no reason I couldn’t catch him .

I thought a little bit more before moving .

I couldn’t be hasty based on circumstantial evidence .

Impatience could be a sin .

I hid my traces and disappeared .

 

A pillar of light covered the sky .

Martin realized the Saintess had emerged as soon as he saw it .

It was similar to what he had foreseen .

He had lost a lot of vampires, but there wouldn’t be any damages if he could obtain the Saintess .

"I'll have to go there directly . Have all the creatures follow me!”

He had a total of 30,000 creatures following him now in South Korea .

He originally had more but 20,000 creatures had already been killed .

Gargoyles darkened the sky . There were also wyverns and king wyverns . All types of creatures in the ground started wriggling .

Their destination was the place where the light occurred .

'I can’t miss her this time . I have to quickly obtain the Saintess . ’

He had no intention of confronting South Korea’s Dungeon Master . It was a pity but the number and quality of Martin’s troops were far inferior . How were such troops gathered? A large army had emerged .

Maybe . . . Pandemonium was right about Randalph Brigsiel . He was irregular . A person who couldn’t be easily messed with . He didn’t know what would happen but he didn’t worry about Randalph Brigsiel .

At any rate, Martin’s goal here was to obtain the Saintess . As long as he could return to his dungeon safely, he had the confidence to stop strong enemies .

He just needed to pass this place safely .

"C-creatures . . . !”

“Help me!”

Creatures were moving in the sky and on land . It was like a natural disaster that the humans couldn’t resist . The large number of humans moving towards the centre were wiped out by the creatures . There wasn’t even a piece of bone left in the areas where the creatures passed .

It happened so suddenly that the humans couldn’t cope . All that remained were a small handful of Awakened .

‘My wait is over . I will take away the power of the Saintess and become complete . ’

Perfect predictions!

If that was possible then he wouldn’t have to fear anything .

Martin believed that there was no perfect and flawless existence . Information was power and his foresight could figure out the weaknesses of the opponent . Even strong existences had weaknesses so they would fall to Martin sooner or later .

That was why he took these risks .

Even now, weak alarm bells were ringing . The word ‘danger’ passed through his mind . However, he had come to this place for a reason .

“This . . . ?”

It happened when he had almost arrived at the destination .

Martin frowned as he looked at something floating in the sky .

It was familiar . He had seen him a few times at the Demon World Auction .

The magic power was overwhelming . It was strange that he hadn’t noticed until he reached here .

“Randalph Brigsiel!!”

Martin exclaimed with shock .

Indeed!

It really was his dungeon!

But there didn’t seem to be any other creatures around . That meant he was alone .

He had hindered himself .

“Kill him! Cut off the flesh, pull out all his hair and split him open!”

The 30,000 creatures rushed simultaneously towards Randalph Brigsiel .
