Chapter 124: Chapter 124- Birth Of a God (Part 1)

If one would ask Hyun-Jae, 'What is the worst day of your life?' she would immediately know the answer to that as she had lived with that day haunting her memories every single day for years. It was something that she did when she was young. Something that she wanted to never remember again.

But, at this exact moment, that idea chattered in her head. Perhaps that wasn't really the worst day of her life.

Staring at the world around her, all she could see at that moment was blood and despair. The stench of death filled her nostrils and made her shudder. She felt herself unable to move at all due to shock.

All her hard work and dedication had gone down the drain in one single moment without any warning.

*BOOOOOOOM*

"AGHHHH!"

Meanwhile, the trolls continued their rampage, ruthlessly murdering every single human they saw in their path. Their disgusting eyes lacked any emotions, except for a subtle delight in seeing this much death around them.

"P-President! Help us!! Please!!"

"President!"

"Ugh!! No!! No!!! Please, I don't want to die!!"

Hearing all those screams that called her name. Hyun-Jae frowned even harder as she tightened her grip on her sword till her knuckles turned white. She wanted to help, she wanted to kill all of these monsters. But, how was she supposed to do that? These trolls were stronger than her with the weakest being a little above her in strength.

A sane person would never jump into such a fight mindlessly since it was akin to a death sentence. But, hearing all those cries, Hyun-Jae couldn't stop herself. She simply couldn't ignore them and move on.

That was even worse than death for her.

So, shaking her head, she sucked in a deep breath as she dashed forward.

"Evacuate the area now! The fight is over! Don't look back! Just run for your life!" She yelled as she closed the distance between her and the first troll before it could kill another human.

"President!" Chin-Hwa saw that and quickly kicked the monster he was fighting away before rushing after her.

'The situation is disastrous! We need to run away before we become the focus of these giants!' Chin-Hwa cursed.

"Please, wait!! Fighting those things is suicide!!" Chin-Hwa's heart sank as he saw the troll turn around and look at Hyun-Jae. Its eyes flashed with a weird glint as it realized that a special human had appeared in front of it.

Without hesitation, it swung its wooden bat down, aiming for Hyun-Jae. But, the latter quickly sidestepped, avoiding the attack before it went toward the monster's right leg.

"HAH!!" Swinging her sword, she cut through its tough skin, barely scraping the muscles.

The hit made her hand go numb upon contact. 'So tough!'

The monster fell down on one knee as it shrieked in pain. Its sound echoed in the entire area. Then, with an outraged expression, it swung its bat down again.

Turning around quickly, Hyun-Jae jumped back as the weapon smashed into the ground, leaving a big crater behind it. Debris flew everywhere.

'I need to quickly finish it off!' Hyun-Jae ran around the monster as fast as she could before leaping in the air and channeling whatever Aetheris she had left in her body before sending a lightning bolt toward its eye.

*BANG*

They stopped caring about the humans around them and instead focused their eyes on the young man standing in the middle of the battlefield.

Then, they started screeching loudly, shaking the entire world with their voices.

"Oooh, they're really angry, aren't they?" Talon murmured. "I guess they didn't like seeing an injured human kill one of their kind..."

Looking down at the beautiful woman in his arms. Talon could only be impressed. Not only did Hyun-Jae single-handedly change the course of the war even though she was heavily injured. She also was able to kill one of these trolls all on her own.

He couldn't imagine how hard that was to do.

"You did great... I'm sorry for taking too much to come back..." He apologized calmly as he turned around.

His eyes fell on Chin-Hwa as he signaled for him to come closer.

The latter was shaken out of his daze and quickly approached Talon. With a simple glance at the young man, the cold prince was surprised.

Talon's condition had improved really quickly since a few minutes ago. Granted, the bullet injuries didn't vanish. But, he looked way better than before.

"Take Hyun-Jae and leave the area." He said as he handed Hyun-Jae to him. "Don't look back."

"What? What about you?"

Talon didn't answer immediately as he turned around. There, in front of him, hundreds of monsters were staring ominously at him as if he were a tasty target. The trolls smashed their bats on the ground as they also focused their eyes on him as their next target.

But, the young man didn't seem intimidated by this giant army of monsters.

"Me? Hmm... Let's say... I'm about to put an end to this bullshit."

"..."

"If you don't move now, you might get killed." He added as he moved forward.

Chin-Hwa watched him silently. He couldn't find the words to say at that moment. This young man had always been a dilemma to him. He hated him and yet also respected him. He considered him a rival and yet also an ally.

It was a mix of conflicting emotions that he couldn't sort out yet. But, at that moment, he could only say a single thing.

"You better not die! Or... She will be upset." He said in a weird tone.

Talon raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting these words to come out of his mouth. But, in the end, he smiled and nodded his head. Then, his body slowly started illuminating with a bright blue light.

Lifting his hand in the air, that energy quickly moved to the tips of his fingers, forming an energy ball within the palm of his hand.

"I wasn't intending to die."

[Ding!]

[Warning triggered!]

[Are you sure you want to use all of your Aetheris Points?]
