Dungeon Hunter Chapter 224:
Chapter 224: Explosion (2)
Pandemonium was persistent . I should have watched him more carefully . That was my fatal mistake . Thanks to the many surprise attacks, I was wounded and exhausted .
I was able to do a lot of damage but Pandemonium recognized my strength and prepared suitable troops .
However, everything became faint after the fight was over . I heard a familiar voice, but I thought it was already too late .
Too late . . .
“Master! Master! En en! Don’t die and leave Yihi . "
"Aigoo ~ keikei! If Master dies then Yihi will go with you!
“Eeeeeng! Eeeeeng! Kuhuhuhung!”
My ears hurt .
Someone was wailing by my side .
My mouth opened without me knowing .
“ . . . Noisy . ”
“Sniffle! Sniffle! Peeeeng . . . Master?”
Yihi’s snot-covered hand touched me . I got up with a slight frown and saw an entirely different place from where I last was .
“Yihi, this is the clock tower?”
“Yes . Yihi moved . And the bad girl is **** . ”
Yihi finished crying and placed her hands on her waist .
“Who?”
“You know . That ugly girl . Yihi doesn’t remember her name . ”
Her explanation was inadequate but I was convinced that she was talking about ‘Yoo Eun-hye . ’ It was because I heard Yoo Eun-hye’s voice in my dream .
"Where is Yoo Eun-hye now?”
“That ~ in the next room . Yihi tied her down . Did that bad girl attack Master?”
I got up and headed to the next room . Oswen was standing in front of the door, guarding it .
"Your Majesty, are you okay?”
"You came back . ”
“I received an urgent message from Fairy-nim stating that I should come back . By the way, Pandemonium is really terrible . Sending so many after Your Majesty . . . ”
Oswen had already determined that the opponent who drove me into the corner was Pandemonium . I entered the next room .
I was able to see Yoo Eun-hye naked and bound to a chair .
“ . . . Fairy-nim insisted on doing this . I couldn’t stop her . ”
Oswen muttered a little bitterly .
Yoo Eun-hye had helped me greatly when I fainted, but Yihi was mistaken . She didn’t know and tied Yoo Eun-hye up .
I clicked my tongue as I entered the room . I unfastened the chains one by one, then caught Yoo Eun-hye before she fell and laid her down .
Soon I took out a potion from my magic bag .
Elixir!
It was a potion that could heal someone as long as they weren’t dead .
I had confirmed some things .
I drank the elixir after Pandemonium’s surprise raid, but it wasn’t that effective .
It was clear that there was a relationship between transcendence and the effects of the elixir .
Anyway, it wasn’t necessary for me because it wasn’t that effective . I poured the elixir into Yoo Eun-hye’s mouth without any hesitation .
“Cough!”
Yoo Eun-hye started coughing . But I didn’t stop pouring the elixir and Yoo Eun-hye was forced to drink it .
‘The origin is damaged . ’
It seemed like she had used all her magic power coming here . The elixir helped restore the origin of her magic power .
I poured all the elixir and placed a hand on Yoo Eun-hye’s chest . It was to help the circulation of magic power . There was the possibility of a side effect so I filled the empty spaces with my magic power . I gently covered her with my magic power .
I stayed in that position for about an hour . After finishing, I stood up .
"Go back . This isn’t the place for you . ”
"That . . . ”
Yoo Eun-hye called out from behind me, but I didn’t stop . I honestly couldn’t understand why she returned .
I sent a glance to Oswen once outside of the room . Oswen nodded .
Oswen brought Yoo Eun-hye far beyond the boundaries .
‘My magic power recovered quickly . ’
I stretched my neck from side to side . There was the sound of my bones and muscles relaxing .
After that, I grabbed Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword and descended the clock tower .
“Master . I should stick to you!”
Yihi immediately followed me but I didn’t pay her any attention .
"I have to look at the situation . ”
It seemed like I had been collapsed for one day . In the meantime, many things had changed greatly .
First of all, Ariel Diablo had dealt damage to Upa . She took advantage of the gap and reduced Upa’s power by half .
It was the same for the battle between Pandemonium and the angels . Pandemonium turned a lot of his power on me and almost succeeded . There was a hole in his power and Hash counterattacked . Thanks to that, the battlefield became more chaotic .
'Pandemonium would have realized that his surprise attack failed . ’
The shadow hunters were persistent . They weren’t difficult opponents but there were a lot of them . Besides, the puppet demons didn’t die easily due to an ability to regenerate .
I succeeded in destroying all of them, but had been injured .
I knew that it was Yoo Eun-hye who brought me to the clock tower while I was unconscious . However, I didn’t have room for gratitude . I couldn’t understand why she had returned . It was a really risky tightrope .
‘Victory and defeat will be determined in the near future . I need to use that gap . ’
They would feel confident at the moment of victory . The winner would only be paying attention to the loser . If I used Hope at that time then I could do the most damage .
Pandemonium’s surprise raid was over . He was currently moving quickly to stop the angels . If successful, half of his purpose would have been achieved by assassinating me . However, Pandemonium failed and was on the defensive .
His army was now inferior to Upa and Ariel’s . Only a terrible future waited for him .
‘Pandemonium . You shouldn’t have aimed for me . ’
If he had kept that power to deal with the angels then he would have already won . It would have been Pandemonium’s overwhelming victory . That would have been more profitable, but he failed . . . it was too late for him to regret it now .
I headed back to the underground area . I was confident there would be no more raids .
Once the moon rose again in the night sky, victory would be decided .
“Kuhuk!”
Ariel Diablo was kneeling on the ground . Her mouth was **** and her whole body was a wreck . Upa was similar, but he had a little more room to move .
"You cowardly wretch!"
Ariel grinded her teeth together . She was able to break through and set a stage for reversal, but the absolute difference in numbers was too much . The silver knights eventually collapsed . The monsters gathered in that gap and cooperated to strike at Ariel .
Since ancient times, all things yielded to a larger number .
Ariel was strong but her opponent was the same . As she kept fighting Upa and the creatures, her stamina became severely depleted . In the end, Upa succeeded in knocking Ariel down .
“Heook . . . **** bitch, this is my strength . Why do you keep going on about cowardice?”
In fact, Upa was really discomforted . Ariel had been slightly ahead after fighting for a few days and his wounds had accumulated . But the last person standing was Upa .
Of course, he had received tremendous damage . His creatures had visibly reduced by hundreds of thousands . There were around 50,000 left? He also lost a considerable number of demons .
“I will kill you cleanly . It is time to end the unfortunate relationship between us . ”
Upa and Ariel had an extremely bad relationship between them even in the Demon World . Now it was finally time to break those chains . He was pleased . Upa couldn’t help laughing .
Ariel tried to raise her ivory sword . Most of her demons and creatures had died . Some were able to escape but Ariel couldn’t . Upa didn’t care about the others and persistently struck Ariel .
It was hard for her to escape . Still, she thought it was better to die fighting .
The demon king .
She had the bloodline of a demon king, but she couldn’t always be the winner .
"Raise your weapon . Upa Bullenon . Aren’t we friendly enough to have a small conversation?”
Ariel laughed at him . Upa didn’t like being laughed at .
"Talking like that until the end . . . come, I will kill you in the worst possible way . ”
Upa summoned typhoons . There were dozens of them . His attitude showed that he wanted to finish everything at once .
Soon they collided .
And . . . at the same time, the whole world was covered in a white light .
Pandemonium was attacking the angels’ main army . He didn’t have enough troops to drag the melee out, so he decided to strike the enemy’s base . But only underlings were present at the angels’ base . He killed the thrones angel, but the most important cherub wasn’t there .
“Where did he go?”
Pandemonium frowned .
Did the angels realize that he was coming?
No . It couldn’t be . His plan was perfect . He slowly surrounded the base with creatures . It was impossible to notice without being able to predict the future .
If so . . . why did his plan fail?
Why?
For what reason?
Pandemonium’s mind started spinning quickly .
Not only the cherub, but the major angels couldn’t be seen . All the high ranking angels had left their positions . Usually, this was confirmation of a defeat .
But the angels were equal to him . He couldn’t push them back that much . Why was it necessary for them to leave when there was a chance of winning?
He thought about it for a long time . But an answer couldn’t be determined . However, he soon realized why .
The world turned bright . He was surrounded by a white magic power . This feeling . . .
‘Get the **** out!’
His instincts warned him .
It was dangerous!
The white light wasn’t normal!
But he was already one step too late .
The light spread out for hundreds of kilometres around Greenwich Observatory .
I was also swept up in the explosion .
I didn’t move because . . . I needed to keep the grand dukes here .
There were creatures keeping an eye on the clock tower . They checked many times to confirm that I was still here . It was a situation where I couldn’t move . There was a danger that the grand dukes would notice something and escape if I left Greenwich Observatory .
I needed to make the net stronger .
I was still slightly injured from Pandemonium’s attack . Now I needed to deceive them .
A risky gamble .
I had installed magic power boosters in Greenwich Observatory to amplify Hope’s power . The range of the explosion would double and the destructive power would be stronger . In other words, a great number of demons and creatures would be destroyed right away .
'I need to be more certain . ’
The range of Hope couldn’t be too narrow . There was also the possibility of escaping through a scroll . If the destructive power wasn’t what I imagined then many could survive . So I made a gamble .
It was a requirement when going on an adventure . I evacuated all the major creatures and Yihi returned to the dungeon . The explosion of Hope would only affect me .
Kwaaaaang!
When the explosion happened, I was also on the battlefield .
I was almost at the place where the grand dukes were when the world turned white . My skin started to gradually melt . The grand dukes felt the danger and quickly put up defenses, but the rest vanished in the blink of an eye .
‘How great . ’
My expression slightly distorted .
Were my calculations wrong?
Even though most of my magic power was restored, the explosive strength of Hope was beyond imagination .
My skin was melting .
Not many would survive in the aftermath of this explosion .
I was closer to Hope than others and felt the effects more strongly .
. . . It was a little bit dangerous for me .
