Chapter 675
Episode 675 The balance is out
of whack!
Kakagagagak!
A frantic crossing of swords.
After an unpleasant encounter with the man, Cheon Yu-seong, who joined Teresa’s side, pushed Gregory, who was left alone.
“Pfft!”
Gregory bit his lower lip.
This is because the ferocious sword attacks were extremely fierce.
While fighting high-ranking vampires in another dimension, I thought I was specialized in 1:1 battles, but the enemy I was facing now was more difficult than most Lord-level enemies.
But something is strange.
There was no doubt about the strength of the man called Cheon Yu-seong, but even so, it was not enough to defeat Gensuke, the returner, without injury.
“What happened? Was it a prank that wasn’t as it seemed? Or is there a secret trick you haven’t revealed yet?”
Gregory asked as he fired his crossbow at Cheon Yu-seong.
This is because I think I might be able to shake the other person’s emotions.
At the same time, the shot was aimed at the heart, neck, and both thighs.
Kakakakang!
Crossbows coated with special silver bounced right in front of Cheon Yu-seong.
Gregory took advantage of the gap and moved to the side of Cheonyuseong.
[Gregory is Lv??? ‘Snowy Night Surprise’ is activated!]
Snowflakes flew and the hunters began the hunt.
Quaaaang!
The thick knife stopped just before it touched Cheon Yu-seong’s collar.
A perfect surprise attack that erased not only scent and presence but also magical powers was thwarted.
Cheon Yu-seong’s eyes turned cold.
The eyes are so emotionless that it gives me goosebumps.
“….”
Gregory instinctively realized that it wouldn’t be easy and quickly rotated the knife. After throwing away Cheon Yu-seong’s sword, he widened the distance and cut his own palm with the sword.
Suddenly!
Large drops of blood quickly fell from the deep wound.
[Gregory activates the skill ‘Hunter of Darkness’!]
“Krrr!”
“Kung! Kung! Kung!”
Wolves with black manes were summoned.
These are not ordinary wolves.
The smell of blood was strong enough to make your fur stand up on end just by looking at it.
They were phantom beasts who specialized in hunting vampires.
fault! fault!
The wolves, which were over 5 meters tall, moved at a speed unbecoming of their size.
Wolves moving around leaving afterimages targeted Cheon Yu-seong from different directions.
“No way!”
[The unique ability ‘Star’s Protection’ is activated!]
Golden light swirled around Teresa’s shield.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The divine radiance erased the wolves’ remnants.
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…”
“Kaaang!”
As divine power pierced their eyes, painful screams came from the wolves’ mouths.
[The Soft Black Crane activates ‘Weather Change’!]
A strong gust of wind occurred, creating an environment where it was difficult to maintain balance.
“Not all phantom beasts are the same. This noble body will show you what true power is!”
Colorful lights scattered from the Blue Dragon’s Yeouiju.
“There is also a gangster spirit special force!”
“It’s wolf meat tonight!”
“Battle mode activated!”
“Wow wow wow!”
“Everyone be quiet. My head hurts!”
The spirits of the five elements also released their saved magical power and interfered with Gregory’s hunt.
As the wolves specialized in herding and hunting were tied up, loopholes began to appear in Gregory as well.
“I guess I was going around with my neck stiff because I was a returnee, but there is no business in Daguri.”
Behemoth also jumped high in the sky and then fell at high speed.
A terrible storm followed.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaaaaang!
The clouds split and the cliffs are cut.
The sword containing the power of the ancient species that controls Apocalypse cut down everything that stood in its way and even passed through Gregory’s body.
Gurgling!
Blood gushing out like a fountain.
However, despite the gaping wound, no pain could be seen on the hunter’s face.
Because of his half-human, half-bird nature, he was able to recover from any serious injury in less than a second.
“Nothing happens the way I want.”
Gregory sighed deeply.
Even from Clemence, who unlocked the power of the sapling, there has been no news of victory yet.
No, that’s it?
Rather, the energy was noticeably dampened compared to the first time.
Proof that victory is not being secured.
Since Gensuke was also lost, it would be safe to say that this battle was already doomed. If you are wise, you should admit defeat at this point and choose to run away.
‘But if I just retreat, they won’t stay still.’
Primordial beings.
Once I received their request, I either succeeded or died. This means that it is not the time to resort to any means and methods to avoid being chased by those damn bastards.
‘I can’t help it.’
Gregory was fiddling with the glass bottles containing red liquid that he had kept in his arms.
A relic containing the blood of the true ancestors hunted so far. There is a big limitation that it is a one-time use, but if you use it…
But right then.
Ugh!
Some strange magical power intervened.
“…!?”
“…what?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to one direction.
Ethan, with a pale complexion, was standing there, holding an old book.
Creepy.
The blood of those watching froze.
An ominous energy was radiating out that was enough to cool down the heat that had been building up from the frantic hitting and fighting.
“If it’s the same whether you fail this way or that way…”
Eden giggled as if he had lost his mind.
It is the result of extreme fear and the desire to live consuming my entire spirit.
And its ripple effect was powerful enough to overturn all existing systems.
“I will choose to go to hell together because I will have a better chance of surviving that way.”
[Dimension bonding takes place!]
Blah blah blah…!
Space and space merge.
Places that were far away came together as one point.
***
Kukukukukukuku!
It feels like I’ve been sucked into a black hole.
Before I could calm my upset stomach, my vision changed.
“This is…”
Cheon Yu-seong’s pupils dilated rapidly.
Because there was a very familiar face right in front of me.
“Huh? Why are you here…”
Jinhyeok, who was standing with the spirit kings, also found Cheon Yuseong.
“Teresa and the rest of you? What happened to you telling us to track down the two returnees?”
“It’s too long to explain… but first, that guy. We have to stop him first!”
Teresa pointed at the leader of Swingbat, who was walking unsteadily.
Before I knew it, Jack Eden had approached the inside of Clemence’s vines.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
I smelled something sticky and instinctively tried to hit the back of my head.
Taang!
A bullet pierced the air.
at the same time.
[Take out the ‘true ancestor’s blood’ that Gregory had kept!]
[The uniqueness window of the true ancestor ‘Hilbert’ opens!]
[Use ‘the soul of the black winged beast’!]
Black bats and crossbows Combining them, a strangely shaped arrow was created.
Not only can it think on its own and change direction at will, but its power is also 10 times higher than that of existing crossbows.
Puff puff puff!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Bullets and crossbows collided in the air.
Hundreds and thousands of flashes of light erupted.
“Sorry, but you’ll have to deal with me first.”
Gregory waved his index finger left and right.
Seeing that they were even smoking cigarettes, it was clear which side was more relaxed.
“Tsk!”
“Somehow…!”
Cheon Yoo-seong and Teresa flew in different directions.
In order to prevent an unpredictable situation like before from happening again, I did my best to move my legs.
The sword and divine power cut down the vines that stretched across the length and breadth.
Nevertheless.
‘late.’
It’s impossible to keep up with the speed of the two alone.
Jinhyuk, wearing the ‘Crown of Speed’, showed maximum speed.
[Win Gracia, the spirit king of the wind, bestows whirlwind wings!]
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
A spatial leap from point to point was achieved.
A huge circle was created between the vines.
“Keeeeee!”
“Kkiiiii…!”
Plants in distress.
Chi-ik!
Red heat rose from the cross section where Jinhyuk passed.
Eden, who had reached close range, was seen handing something to Clemence.
썣썄죤 죁죁!
The plain clothes sword stretched out long.
One breath.
Just one second is enough.
of course. Wanting one second of time in a battle where every minute counts is an overly extravagant request.
“Kyahahahaha!”
A spell in the ancient rune language flowed from Clemence’s mouth along with a sharp chant.
[The special item ‘Diary Written by Tragic Heroes’ is activated!]
Starting with the pages of the grimoire being turned over, something that should never have happened has become a reality.
***
Returnees who conquered a world.
Of course, there were disasters that had the same meaning as the apocalypse in the world they lived in.
In some worlds, there are dragons that breathe fire.
In another world, there is a giant bigger than Mount Tai.
In some worlds, they are the ones who split the seas and devour ships in one bite.
and.
[‘The Age of Returners’ opens.]
The ability now activated contained the power to distort and manipulate not only space and time but also dimensions.
“Gooooh!”
“Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrut!”
“Kaaaa!”
Final-level beings with different forms appeared.
They were all monsters that could take a place in the Tower of Trials.
“There are all these fraudulent items.”
Jinhyeok bit his lip as he saw a number of high-ranking monsters appearing between the cracks. I thought I knew all the existing grimoires, but what I was seeing now was a type that even Jinhyeok had never seen before.
However, the bigger problem is that it is not just monsters that are coming.
Ugh!
Multiple beams of light fell simultaneously.
“Hmm…”
“It’s a strange feeling.”
“The status window in front of my eyes. I’m the only one who can see it, right? Huh? Are you saying I’m seeing an illusion because my mind is so black?”
“Yes. I can see it clearly, so please shut up. Before I kill you first.”
Each returnee has deep wounds and pain.
The reality of having to leave the place where they lived for a long time, voluntarily or not.
And when they return after being liberated from that hellish mission, they realize what they know. The sense of disparity I felt when I realized that the world was no longer the same place.
All of that piled up and created the current returnees.
[Due to the first effect of the item, the influence of the dark attribute within a 1km radius has increased by 5000%. ]
[Due to the second effect of the item, if you annihilate the ‘Stuck Corporation’, each person will be able to fulfill one of their wishes.] A
bounty event.
The reward was also ridiculous.
What the hell is the item Eden is holding? What is this? And we need to find out what kind of bastard gave him such a dangerous toy.
“Hope…”
“Interesting.”
“If the system made a promise directly, it wouldn’t be a lie.”
“Okay. I guess they are the ones who are making a fuss in TOP these days. I can feel the taste of conquering after a long time.”
The pessimistic and pessimistic returner’s characteristic emotions faded. Instead, the desire for destruction and slaughter began to take its place.
At that moment.
flinch!
“Huh…. ”
Teresa calmed her trembling left arm with her right arm.
…This is dangerous in many ways.
