Chapter 50: Swirl Leviathan (4) part1

.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Jeong Seon-young raised her tense face and gathered her magic.

It was an S-grade monster, a rare disaster monster.

Every time a disaster monster appeared, she had applied as the leader for A-grade Holder, but she thought this monster would be especially challenging.

Even though there were five A-grade Holders participating, it was still an S-grade monster, a giant creature that emerged from the sea. The terrain was unfavorable, and the monster’s abilities were formidable.

‘These Holders don’t seem... that impressive.’

She looked around at the groaning injured people filling the scene. Most of them were C-grade Holders experiencing such a large-scale hunt for the first time.

Despite its grandiose name, the Disaster Monster Hunting Squad wasn’t very popular among the Holders...’Because the rewards are small’. While the risk and difficulty of hunting monsters in disasters were high, and the rewards were disappointing. There were no dungeons to conquer or rest rooms to gain for the first time, and if they were going to hunt field monsters, there was no need to go after disaster monsters.

Especially for clan leaders and their affiliated Holders, they rarely participated in disaster monster hunts. It was much more profitable for them to operate their own dungeons or continue their training curriculum.

S-grade monsters were relatively better in comparison. They provided more loot, and the rewards were more luxurious compared to other monsters.

But everything comes with a price. S-grade monsters come with immense risks.

‘We need to be more careful.’

If the plan went awry or unexpected variables occurred, the risks would materialize and come back at them.

Their main targets were C-grade Holders. Unlike A and B-grade Holders who frequently participated in disaster monster hunts, C-grade Holders were mostly inexperienced newcomers. Therefore, they were more exposed to danger and there were relatively more injured or dead Holders among them.

“Dealers are coming from that side!”

“Darn it! All members of the Warrior Group, raise your shields and move forward!”

Swirl Leviathan’s water magic, which had been thought to end with a single counterattack, was poured out again as if it were continuous hits.

The direction was also backwards.

Despite trying to stop the monster, the warriors at the front were powerless to stop the wind-blown water magic.

‘I need to be careful.’

Jeong Seon-young bit her lips and used [Ice Wall] even more to block as many water bullets as possible. Many of the warrior-class Holders who had taken on her protection had already been injured or killed.

If she allowed more attacks, the support personnel in the rear would suffer significant damage.

‘Oh! That child!’

As she used [Ice Wall] to block as many water bullets as possible, Jeong Seon-young suddenly thought of the C-grade Holder she was protecting.

He had definitely wielded his [Shield] and protected her well, but when the last water bullet was about to hit him, his shield was almost worn out, so he discarded it and took out his sword.

In other words, he was currently defenseless.

If not for Jeong Seon-young’s [Ice Wall], he might have been hit and killed by the water bullet.

“No...!!”

It was a clear mistake.

To save him as quickly as possible, Jeong Seon-young tried to change the direction of her [Ice Wall].

However...

“Flow.”
