BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42 - 42
Chapter 42:
Beru read Secretary Kim\'s memories and immediately went to the Stardust Lab, where a fierce battle was already taking place.
\'About 30 hunters for 10 hostages.\'
Anyone who met Suho\'s eyes flinched.
Perhaps because of his somewhat shocking appearance, it felt as if time had stopped.
"Keep going..."
The only thing that came through the heavy silence was the screams of Park Jongcheol, who had lost his arms and legs and was crawling on the floor like an insect.
"Argh. What are you doing, bastards?! Don\'t stay still like an idiot! Fight him...!"
Ting!
The hunters of the Reaper Guild finally came to their senses after Park Jongcheol\'s scream.
"G-Got it! !"
"Everyone, gather!"
"Aaaaaaahh!"
The attacks directed at the association hunters turned around and went towards Suho.
30 to 1 battle.
Since a minimum raid unit was 10 members, it was like three raid units rushing in to kill Suho.
But he had no intention of being smashed without fighting back.
Suho lifted his head and looked up at the ceiling.
\'Ruler\'s Power.\'
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
An invisible hand set off the fluorescent lights on the ceiling in sequence.
"W-What!"
When the surrounding suddenly became dark, the hunters who attacked Suho stopped walking in a hurry.
Regardless if they were hunters, it would take time for their eyes to adjust to the darkness.
\'I\'m different.\'
Suho moved swiftly through the darkness.
He had come in wearing a crow mask that brightens his vision, aiming for this.
Swoosh! Slash!
"Ack!"
"Ack!"
"Kheuk!"
Screams erupted from all over the darkness.
"W-Watch out! He\'s attacking from...!"
In an instant, the five fell to the ground, dripping with blood.
"Fire!"
A fireball that someone threw out lit up the surroundings.
However, Suho\'s figure had already disappeared there.
The hunters\' eyes widened.
"Find him now!"
The research center was the favorite hideout of Vice President Lee Minseong.
It was a shame that the name of the Reaper Guild was tarnished by just one intruder.
"Healers immediately take care of the wounded! Everyone, don\'t scatter, unite and fight!"
They moved coordinately even in such a situation.
The enemy was a minority anyway, and as long as they were careful, the majority would have an unconditional advantage in the fight.
Fire! Fire!
Additional fireballs continued to be thrown and began to push back the darkness.
But.
\'You guys are already my prey.\'
At the end of the darkness, Suho\'s eyes flashed.
"Arise."
Swoosh-
Behind Suho, the shadow grew longer and eight legs stretched out in all directions.
The monster that raised itself from the floor...
[Arachne Lv.1]
Knight Rank
A body the size of a house.
Dozens of eyes.
Ugly mouth.
Pair of giant claws.
The \'grave spider Arachne\' caught in Magok Field returned from the dead as a shadow spider.
[Oops!]
Black spider webs stretched out in all directions.
Chwack! Chwack! Chwack!
The spider webs clung to the walls and ceiling, and began rebuilding the entire massive container building into a spider\'s nest.
"W-What is this sticky thing?!"
Eventually, the spider\'s web spread its magic even to the hunters.
[Arachne uses \'Skill: Puppet Show\'.]
"Oh! My body\'s moving on its own...!"
Thuck!
"Ouch! Why me...?"
The hunter\'s arm caught in the web moved by itself and stabbed a colleague next to him.
"Huh?"
The hunter became a puppet and struggled with his arms.
"No! It\'s not me! This sticky thread wraps around my body...!"
However, his body was already swinging his sword in search of another victim.
"What are you doing, bastard?! Why are you suddenly attacking us?!"
"No! I\'m not doing it myself!"
That was just the beginning.
Chwack! Chwack! Chwack!
[Arachne uses \'Skill: Puppet Show\'.]
[Arachne uses \'Skill: Puppet Show\'.]
"Ahh! I got caught too!"
"Aagh! Scatter!"
"No, don\'t scatter! This is his goal!"
"Then what should we do, damn it!"
Dozens of hunters start swinging their swords at each other.
They were fighting each other.
"Cut off the web!"
"Don\'t be fooled by his skills!"
Snap.
[You have purchased \'Lesser Healing Potion\'.]
Meanwhile, Suho bought a potion from a store and poured it into the mouth of a kindergartener in his arms.
A hunter\'s one-sided violence poured into this small body.
For a moment, Suho\'s bloody eyes glared at Park Jongcheol, who was crawling on the floor.
Suddenly, a small shadow descended on it.
[You made Young Master mad...]
Beru\'s hand gripped the guy\'s head tightly.
"Accckkk?!"
Park Jongcheol, whose head was forcibly lifted, widened his eyes.
Above his dilated pupils, the black beast\'s mouth parted.
[You won\'t die easily.]
Slash!
"...!"
A silent scream leaked from Park Jongcheol\'s mouth.
In the meantime, the effect of the potion began to circulate, and the child\'s condition improved noticeably,
Suho\'s gaze turned back to the enemies.
"Arachne."
[Krrrk?]
Arachne, who was deflecting the hunters with her large pincers, looked back at Suho.
"Catch the healers first."
Healers were the first thing to be dealt with.
This was because many of them had annoying buff skills besides simple healing skills.
In the first attack, Suho purposely did not kill the hunters and only inflicted fatal injuries on them, in order to weed out the healers.
As a result, now the healers were diligently wandering around and pouring their magical energy generously on the wounded ones.
[Whoop!]
Arachne began to attack by searching for those healers.
"He\'s aiming for healers! Protect the Healers!"
\'I need to save the hostages first.\'
With that thought in mind, Suho turned his attention to the prison.
However, the Association Hunters were already on the move there.
Since their purpose was to rescue hostages from the beginning, they jumped into the prison first without even confirming who Suho was.
The problem was that the other guild members also noticed that.
"The ingredients are trying to escape! Stop them!"
"Take the hostages first!"
Rush!
They surrounded the prison.
"Ack!"
The association hunters suddenly ended up in prison with hostages... in a bad way.
Bang!
"What happened?!"
The door to the research center burst open and reinforcements arrived.
The problem was that the support wasn\'t from the Association, but from the Reaper Guild.
Dozens of hunters from other container buildings heard the commotion and rushed there!
"Haaa."
Team Leader Han Jaehyuk sighed deep.
He murmured with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Can we get out alive?"
"Of course."
"...!"
He looked to the side in surprise at the sudden answer.
A crow mask approached from the iron bars before he knew it.
Suho opened the iron bars with force and held out the little boy he was holding.
\'What kind of power...\'
Han Jaehyuk was intimidated by Suho\'s tremendous power and took over the kid.
Suho spoke to him, putting the bent iron bars back to their original state.
"This is better. Keep some hostages there for the time being. Even if someone attacks from outside, you can cover it with your shield skill, right?"
"What are you..."
Han Jaehyuk was just starting to respond.
Suddenly, a black web came flying and tied the prison door outside.
It will never open, neither inside nor outside.
Han Jaehyuk looked at Suho again, embarrassed.
However, Suho had already turned his back to look at the approaching enemies.
"Rest there for a while."
A wide and dependable back.
"It will all be over."
Suho said so and slowly walked to the enemies running this way, doubling in number.
It was possible at any time if it was simply to escape.
But should he really let those guys live?
They were hunters who wanted to take care of themselves by killing fellow humans.
They could no longer be considered as human beings.
Mage Beast.
Looking at the villains, Suho made a promise.
\'Today, I will pull out the roots here.\'
The thought reached someone far away.
[The King of Beasts, Fang Monarch, is delighted that the hunting time has arrived.]
"Hunt."
The moment Suho\'s words fall.
Swoosh.
Gray\'s body in the shadow dungeon suddenly floated up and began to become more and more transparent.
"Hnnggg?"
"Huh? Blessing?"
Esil, who was next to Gray, immediately recognized the phenomenon and opened her eyes wide.
[The spiritual body of \'Pet: Gray\' possessed the body of the pontifex.]
Gray\'s spiritual body climbed up through Suho\'s shadow and settled in his body.
Swoosh!
At that moment, Suho\'s hair turned silver, and the energy of the beast surged from his body.
"...!"
"W-What is that?!"
The members of the Reaper Guild are frightened by the sudden change in Suho.
The reaction was the same for the Association Hunters in prison.
"Oh God. Could it be...!"
"Baekho Guild...!"
[The King of Beasts, Fang Monarch, nods in satisfaction at the pontifex\' transformation.]
\'Is this how it feels?\'
Suho looked down at the wild energy flowing through his body.
A divine wind imbued with magical power wrapped around his body.
"Great. The priestly power you boasted so much about. Let\'s see the performance."
Suho smirked at Rakan and surrendered himself to this overflowing energy.
That moment.
"Roar!"
Suho roared like a beast and fired at the enemies at explosive speed.
Swoosh!
"Aaahhh!"
... Gulp.
Han Jaehyukwas watching the scene from behind and swallowed hard without even realizing it.
A thought was floating in his mind.
\'It\'s not an ordinary beast.\'
Once.
He once saw the battle scene of Baek Yunho, the guild leader of the Baekho Guild.
Although, he wasn\'t saying that the man in the crow\'s mask had the same energy as Baek Yunho.
Baek Yunho is an S rank.
It was because he was afraid to even dare to recall the overwhelming feeling that was as huge as that mountain.
But why...
Does the memory of that day keep coming back?
"Beast King Crow..."
"What?"
The name that suddenly uttered by the team leader\'s made his subordinates stare at him.
Why did it just come to his mind now?
It was an article he saw last night.
Magok Field.
Crow Mask.
"... The one who inherited the power of the Beast King."
\'Was that Suho?\'
Grumble!
The roar of the brutal beast resonated in their chests.
Right in front of the Association Hunters\' eyes, the Beast King Crow was trampling down his prey along with a huge spider.
