Chapter 433

Episode 433

My eyes close and I get sleepy.

If your eyelids are still closed, if you forget to maintain the barrier even for a moment, will you be caught in the torrent? Will I ever forget myself?

‘The barrier is rapidly... corroding.’

If so, how much time do you have left? How long can you withstand the waves of oblivion with this thin barrier? Yura was no longer able to see even the new meteor blurred by the river of oblivion that surged like waves. The only relief was that the barrier was still maintained.

However, if you do well, you can clear the attack if you just hold on like this.

Everyone was able to return alive.

Geugguk-!

However, Yura’s face turned to despair as a giant finger protruded from the wall with an iron scraping sound.

“Damn it...”

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t consider the possibility. Yura also knew that what he and Shin Yoo-sung dealt with was Mortis in an incomplete state.

– [───.]

Because she is the evil god who presides over death and curses. There was nothing strange about being reborn in any form. This was a story from the myth of Mortis that Yura saw.

Mortis was able to be reborn in the thoughts of humans when the malice of humans accumulated in the original world.

But I didn’t know that the time would come so quickly. Whether he thought this was his last chance or he was resentful of defeat, Mortis tore apart the dimension and came back to this space again.

– senior. Please release the barrier.

Shin Yoo-seong’s voice came through the walkie-talkie. Yura looked at the wall silently. Only his fingers were out now, but Mortis was diligently widening the hole. No one knew when he would stick his head in the hole and jump out.

“...What if I break the barrier?”

Yura clenched his fists. Shin Yoo-seong already knew what he was going to say.

– If you release the barrier, I will attack first.

okay. It also comes out like this.

Shin Yuseong said exactly what Yura thought. Shin Yuseong seemed to be thinking of making a sacrifice.

“If you touch the river, it will end in a moment of fainting... but if you are completely swept away, you will forget everything.”

– It can save lives.

How can I be so reassuring about the subject of a student who will just be in the second grade?

Yooseong Shin was the most hunter-like hunter among the hunters Yura had seen. However, Yura smiled bitterly. That was something he could never allow himself to do.

“...I don’t live by just breathing. Forgetting memories is the same as death. The existence of you now will die forever.”

Yura caught his breath. Here, the senior himself had to make a decision.

“Five seconds. I can... make it for just 5 seconds.”

This was the first time Yura had been with Shin Yoo-seong, but I could still tell. Yooseong Shin was never a hunter who would run away leaving his colleagues behind.

Perhaps this is the best you can do right now.

“You did well to take care of it. I didn’t expect to eat it, but...”

Yura took out a crystal shard the size of a fingernail from her pocket. Its true identity was the demon lord’s magic stone, and it was a dangerous item that could increase mana several times, even for a short time.

Runaway if the situation is good.

If the situation is bad, you die from mana regurgitation.

No matter what the result was, it was the worst, but Yura poured the magic crystal into her mouth. There was no need for resolution.

If he didn’t have the courage to do so, he wouldn’t have prepared such a magic crystal from the beginning.

Kwajik-!

Yura bit the crystal shard with her molar teeth, and the mana of the magic stone spread from her mouth. Humans were demonic mana that they could not dare to surpass since their birth.

whiz-! Weeing! Weeing!

Yura imprisoned the golden goblet in a barrier and condensed it. When the barrier was broken due to the river flowing like a waterfall, several more layers were placed on top of it.

There is a limit to moving or letting go, so the golden cup was confined with a barrier.

It was an idea that humans would not dare to imagine, but it was possible with the demons’ mana.

Now everything is over.

Sensing that, Yura recited in a voice filled with despair. If there were a lot of people and they were confident, they could have stopped Mortis, but now there are only two of them.

Both of them had to be sure of victory to have a chance to damage Mortis. If even one person harbored negative emotions, half of the people were empowering Mortis.

‘There is no other way...’

Shin Yoo-seong saw Yura at the moment of desperation. Yura was already stained with the guilt of failure.

The given time was too short, so I couldn’t bear to care about Yura.

If he had looked at Yura one more time before attacking, if he had made him trust him a little more, would the result have been different?

– ■■───.

Mortis gave a tear-jerking laugh. I don’t know what language it is, but like a mother embracing her child, she stretched out her hands and welcomed Shin Yoo-seong and Yura.

‘Really...’

Is this the end of this form?

Shin Yoo-seong had never been defeated before, so he did not know the fear of defeat. I wasn’t overconfident, but I trusted myself. That belief was Shin Yuseong’s strength.

How would you have done better?

Clink-!

The sound of glass breaking was heard from behind Shin Yoosung. Shin Yoo-seong looked back, thinking that Yura’s barrier had been broken.

Tung-

The golden goblet fell to the floor.

The truth is, the barrier wasn’t broken because Yura’s strength was exhausted. A thin, ordinary dagger thrown by someone split the barrier in half as well as the unbreakable golden cup.

chain fluid-!

The dagger was then thrown and headed for Mortis’ head.

puck!

As soon as a dagger smaller than the palm of his hand was driven into his head, Mortis’ head, which had not even been able to penetrate Shin Yoo-seong’s black dragon slash, split in half, and the situation ended abruptly.

Who the hell threw the dagger? Even Ryujin’s [Acceleration] sensed Shin Yuseong’s body vision couldn’t follow the dagger.

“Oh no... I’m glad it’s not too late. It’s a problem when you’re old. I mean, it slows you down.”

But when I found out who had thrown the dagger, it felt natural. It was Kang Yoo-chan who appeared in the blackout.

“It’s just the two of you to drive a level 7 boss like this...”

Shin Yoo-seong wanted to ask Kang Yoo-chan. There were a lot of questions about how Mortis had found the containment space and how the dagger had just pierced Mortis.

However, the 8th grade hunter was originally such a being. He was the true king of hunters who transcended the limits of mankind and saw the pinnacle of the tower.

“...10 years ahead of Kwon King’s youth. If this is enough, it must be called Cheongchuleoram. Yoosung.”

Should I be satisfied with being praised by such a person at the age of 17, or should I blame myself for failing to capture?

“...no. Without the help of the president of the association, the attack would have failed.”

Shin Yoo-seong just bowed his head to show his respect.

“haha! Well, let’s talk about that gradually...”

Kang Yu-chan, who smiled benignly as if that was okay, looked at Yura.

“Hak uh uh kyuk... kyuk!”

As the magic stone’s mana flowed backwards, Yura had a seizure. Kang Yu-chan opened his eyes thinly.

“Because the 6th-level Hunter is a magic stone... It must have been on the defensive.”

puck!

Kang Yoo-chan lightly slapped Yura on the neck. Yura’s body collapsed like a doll whose thread had been cut.

“It would be fortunate if we arrived before it was too late. ...Then see you again. Yoosung.”

Kang Yu-chan looked down at Yura coldly. On the other hand, he smiled kindly at Shin Yoo-seong and turned his back.

“President of the Association! 3rd and 4th floors! The rescue search is over.”

“Good job. Send the fallen Hunter to the hospital in Metro City.”

It was a moment when Shin Yoo-seong, who had been undefeated so far, felt a devastating wall.
