Chapter 505: Clash (6)

The hyena sorcerer would share senses with their corrupted creature once linked, which meant that the youngest hyena sorcerer would feel whatever pain the Behemoth felt.

‘I’m not going to let you die so easily,’ Han-Yeol had no plans to let the hyena sorcerer die a peaceful death. He originally did not have the sick hobby of slowly killing his prey, but he felt like toying with the hyena sorcerer for some odd reason, even though he was more than capable of killing him instantly.

[Watch out!]

[Damn it!]

The other hyena sorcerers belatedly realized their youngest brother was in danger, and they joined the battle to help.

[Death Blade!]

[Atomic Bomb!]

They focused on casting offensive spells rather than placing down corruption fields or controlling the corrupted creatures. The corruption field placed down by their youngest brother was already more than enough, and he was the best when it came to controlling the creatures.

Krwaaang!

‘So you finally decided to join?’ Han-Yeol rejoiced inwardly.

The offensive spells cast by the hyena sorcerer brothers packed quite a lot of firepower, forcing Han-Yeol to use a bit of mana to block it with Force Shield. The elder brothers might not be as powerful as their youngest when it came to controlling the corrupted creatures, but their offensive spells were much more powerful than his.

‘Offensive spells are different from controlling corrupted creatures. While the latter might be a talent one is born with, the former is honed through one’s effort.’

This was the reason the elder brothers were stronger when it came to offensive spells compared to their talented youngest brother.

“Phew! So you guys finally decided to join. I thought I was going to die of boredom fighting against only one opponent,” Han-Yeol sneered.

He had been purposely torturing the youngest hyena sorcerer to lure the other two out, as he knew he would get bored if he fought them one by one.

[What?!]

The hyena sorcerers raged after hearing Han-Yeol’s provocation. They were enraged after seeing their youngest brother get pummeled, so they were easily provoked this time.

“Alright, shall we fight for real now?”

[Ha! You will pay for this, arrogant human! Death Cloud!]

[Corrupted’s Rage!]

The hyena sorcerers completely forgot about capturing Han-Yeol alive and proceeded to unleash their most powerful spells, but this was not due to their anger getting the better of them. They were indeed full of themselves and would rarely acknowledge their opponent, but that did not mean they were foolish enough to attempt to capture him alive when they saw what he was capable of with their own eyes.

‘That human isn’t someone we can capture alive.’

The eldest hyena sorcerer was serious. He knew they were not in a position to think of capturing their target alive. In fact, he was worried if they could even win against him.

‘Damn it!’ the second brother cursed in anger.

The spells they used were their ultimate spells. A dark corrupted rain cloud would be summoned on top of the target location, and it would rain down corruption onto everything in the target area.

It did not deal a lot of damage right away, but the spell covered a vast area and continued for a long time so the damage eventually added up. As a bonus, it would empower all corrupted creatures the rain touched.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

[You will never win against us brothers!]

The two elder brothers were battle-hardened veterans who fought in numerous battles side by side, making their teamwork near-impeccable. Their spells not only dealt damage against their target but also empowered the corrupted creatures.

However, there was one unique thing about their spells. Most buff spells would not stack on the corrupted creatures, but that was not the case for these brothers. Their spells not only stacked on top of one another but even enhanced each other when cast on the corrupted creatures together.

The true power of these hyena brothers lay not in their individual strength but in their teamwork.

“KRWAAAAH!”

Bam! Bam!

The corrupted creatures controlled by the youngest hyena sorcerer were initially pushed back by the Darkness Avengers that Han-Yeol summoned, but the situation was soon reversed the moment the hyena brothers cast their ultimate skill to empower them.

“Hmm... These hyenas sure are stronger than the average ones,” Han-Yeol thought. He was slightly impressed.

Krwaaang! Bam! Bam!

Han-Yeol looked very calm even while watching his Darkness Avengers get struck down by the corrupted creatures and the black corrupted rain.

Tsshhh...!

Everything the rain touched started to decay.

“Gee... I’m sorry to say this but...” Han-Yeol said.

[Hmm?]

[...?!]

[Argh...?!]

All three hyena sorcerers looked at Han-Yeol.

“All of your ultimate spells will be nullified by this one skill I’m going to use now,” he said smugly.

Chwak!

[Why?! What’s going on?!]

The amount of damage the corrupted creatures suffered was not to the extent they could not come back to life. They were supposed to regenerate unless their bodies were decimated. Despite the fact that they were similar to mindless zombies, this trait allowed them to overpower the Bastro Warriors, who worshiped power and trained their entire lives.

On top of this trait, they also had the ability to corrupt their fallen enemies and reincarnate them as one of their own. This made it impossible for the Light Faction to win prolonged battles, as they would grow weaker while their enemies increased in numbers.

However, all the advantages the corrupted creatures possessed could not be found anywhere right now.

“Anything the Dark Moon shines upon is dominated by it. No lifeform can come back to life without my permission as long as they are under the Dark Moon. In short, this entire place is now under the control of darkness, and I am its ruler,” Han-Yeol said.

Then, he paused for a second and shuddered, ‘What the hell? Why did I say something so cringe?’

He got so carried away by the mood that he ended up blurting out whatever came to mind. Unfortunately, the water had already been spilled, so there was no taking back the cringy things he said just now.

[I am now certain that you have to be killed, human.]

Han-Yeol was busy cringing hard for saying such chuuni things, but the hyena sorcerers did not care about it one bit. Instead, they seemed to have gotten even more provoked by the chuuni things he said.

Han-Yeol was in utter disbelief. ‘What? They bought the cringy things I said?’

He normally would have tried coming up with excuses or justifying his cringy behavior, but he decided not to dabble on it since the hyena sorcerers did not seem to care about it.

‘I should kill these guys and make sure not another soul hears about this...’

Still, he had to make sure that this embarrassing moment would not be uttered on anyone’s lips, and to do that, he had to make sure all of the witnesses were eliminated.

Chwak!

Han-Yeol raised his hand and aimed it at the hyena sorcerers.

“Alright, shall we put an end to this boring game?”

[Go ahead! Try it if you can, human! There’s no way you pathetic poor creatures can win against us!]

Kwachik!

A cross-shaped vein bulged on Han-Yeol’s forehead.

“I told you... not to say that!”

Baaaam!

Han-Yeol suddenly disappeared.

[What?!]

[Huh?]

Han-Yeol moved so fast that the hyena sorcerers barely noticed his movement. They managed to follow him due to their mana sensitivity, as they did not follow him but rather the trail of mana he left behind. But it took them a while to pick up even this trail after he had already passed.

[W-We couldn’t read his movement?!]

[How can a human move so fast that we could only sense the trail he left behind?!]

[W-What?!]

Among the Bastrolings, the hyenas were undisputedly the most sensitive to mana. This was something the Light Faction would deny no matter what...

Regardless of what the Light Faction thought, the sole reason the hyenas could receive help from the Dragon of Destruction and rule over the Bastro Dimension was all thanks to their mana sensitivity.

However, the mana sensitivity they were so proud of was absolutely useless right now.

[Eat this!]

The second brother unleashed spell after spell and triggered random explosions all over the place.

Krwaaaang!

Boom! Boom!

He intentionally shot at the potential route the pesky human could use to block his movements rather than trying to catch something he could not see. This was one of the strategies the hyena sorcerers often used against the Bastro Warriors, who were extremely agile.

Shwak!

[What?!]

Despite his best efforts, Han-Yeol suddenly appeared right in front of them, unscathed.

“Hello~”

[H-How?!]

Bam!

Kuheok!

Swoosh! Bam!

Han-Yeol kicked the youngest hyena sorcerer in the abdomen and sent him flying. The kick was so powerful that the hyena sorcerer only stopped after crashing into the side of a mountain.
