Chapter 194

J: Chapter 7 of 10.

The tension shot up the moment Lee Hui-seung appeared.

Prepare for battle!

Prepare for battle!

Prepare for battle!

Lee Hui-seungs shout was passed on through the hunters mouth.

The hunters stomped their feet like a beat. There was battle spirit burning within their eyes.

It looked like all of the people here would fight to the death with a single command of his.

It wasnt just him though.

I, I need a sword.

Edward said. His breath was rougher than usual.

I checked Son Arams state just in case. She was the same.

Are you alright?

Me? Im always fine.

She said so with a big smile. I felt that it was good for now.

Looking around, it seemed the only normal people were Soo-ah and I.

She continued her words.

But is this something like mind control?

Theres nothing confirmed but its probably a wide area skill no?

I didnt know what it was but it was a technique that affected over a thousand people. This was impossible unless it was a level 10 skill. There was no doubt that it was a technique used by Lee Hui-seung.

I was wondering why only we were okay when.

A message appeared through the manual.

Lee Hui-seungs Battle Cry skill collides with the users Effort skill. It cannot show its effect.

So it was because of this.

It seems the level 0 skill interferes with Lee Hui-seungs wide area skill.

After somewhat getting a grasp of the situation, I checked Son Arams state through the manual. She was shouting and stomping her foot like the other hunters.

It was a sight that couldnt be imagined from the normal her.

Name : Son Aram

State : Battle Cry is under effect. Excessive adrenaline is being produced. In a state of excitement. Pain is reduced by 50%. Damage taken is increased by 10%. Damage increases by 20%. The buff will disappear after an hour. Negative effects will continue for a day.

Get yourself together for a bit.

I approached her and patted her cheek after taking the sword.

She collected her breath and opened her mouth.

Ive shown you an unsightly figure.

It seemed to be quite difficult to calm down seeing her fingertips tremble.

Please stand by in the van for now. I dont think it would be a good idea to participate in this battle.

However, I can also fight Ah, its nothing. I will do as you say.

She could still understand my commands. Looking at how she entered battle mode, it was certain that it wasnt the normal her. I shoved her, who was still showing regret while glaring at the enemies, into the van.

She opened her mouth as if she had suddenly come to her senses.

My head is finally clear now. Haah.

May I ask what had happened?

It felt like my entire body was burning up. It felt like I would be able to endure if I didnt immediately draw a sword and cut down the enemies However, I cant feel that in here.

I see.

Edward was also dragged here by Soo-ah and thrown into the van.

Stand by in here for now.

What about seonbae oppa?

I will leave after confirming that persons abilities.

I came here to meet Lee Hui-seung. And he actually appeared. There was normally not much good luck. I was planning on approaching the distance where I could check his skills and items through the manual.

Even with that information I could calculate his battle power.

I would be able to determine victory or loss without actually fighting him.

I went out after leaving the three in the van for now.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The raid teams including Strawberry Box were shouting while banging the ground with their weapons.

The way they moved as one made me think of the Recruitment skill.

Baek Gyeong didnt appear in the enemy base yet.

It seemed like it would take longer than expected.

I slipped between hunters to approach Lee Hui-seung.

He was currently standing on a large truck used as the command center. The crimson armor he wore all over his body caught ones eye.

The helmet that was half open closed up. After completely covering his face, he waved his hand forward.

Crimson flags moved from various places in the base. Soon, a rough voice came out after a siren like noise from the large truck Lee Hui-seung was on rang out.

[Charge forward!]

Ahhh!

The hunters started charging forward.

It even made my chest burn up as well. However, that was nothing compared to the other hunters that were already in a trance.

Move aside!

Kill them all!

Only I was going against the flow of the hunters. The wave of hunters bumped into me while swearing. I quickly slipped between the hunters and got closer to Lee Hui-seung.

I had to get to about 10 meters to be able to see the opponents skills and items.

This wasnt a fixed number though. When checking those that werent humans such as monsters, there were times when it worked from a distance of 50~100 meters but this was usually when the monster had a huge figure.

Thats why, it could seen that the scanning range was proportional to the size of the entity.

Also, Lee Hui-seung wasnt any different in size compared to a normal human.

That meant that I had to approach his truck as much as possible.

My speed dropped as I was trying not to bump into the hunters and to not be found out by Lee Hui-seung.

In that time, hundreds of arrows poured down from the air.

Chinas side had started counterattacking.

An arrow that possessed explosive power brushed by the rim of my ear. As the arrow exploded the moment it hit the ground, a hunter got blown back by the explosion.

Most long range weapons were bows or crossbows.

It wasnt possible to do much damage to fully equipped hunters with modern weapons, but they could be effective against the backline hunters.

However, the moment its used, both sides knew that it would turn into a battle of annihilation.

A war where one didnt do their best. A limited warfare instead of an all out war. Also, it was a situation where a battle occurred between hunters.

However, this was still a war where both sides put their life on the line.

They were holding cold weapons that would only be seen in the Middle Ages, but it didnt change the fact that they were out to kill each other.

Even during this bloody battle, I was still chasing after Lee Hui-seung.

He was commanding not from the front but the back of the formation.

The top of the truck was a good place to look down on the battlefield and a relatively safe location from the enemys sniping.

However, he couldnt let his guard down. Hunters had the ability to snipe from an extremely far distance after all.

Like that.

A projectile the thickness of an arm flew towards Lee Hui-seung. This wasnt an arrow but a weapon that would only be used in a siege.

Even if he had level 10 armor, it couldnt be helped that such a weapon would have an effect. However, he continued observing the battle situation as if he didnt notice it.

It was too late for me to even shout. The projectile will reach before the sound reaches my neck.

The moment I thought the projectile bulls eyed Lee Hui-seung.

The large projectile made of metal instantly exploded and sent debris scattering.

My entire body stiffened.

I didnt see it.

How he moved. What method he used to destroy the projectile with massive amount of energy in it, I couldnt even guess.

This was far more overwhelming compared to when I first saw the Hadron Cannon.

The projectile came a few more times after that. However, all those attempts were futile and they started aiming for him less and less. They had realized belatedly that they couldnt injure him with ranged attacks.

The situation was advantageous for our allies.

Despite the disadvantage of fewer numbers, we were pushing the Chinese hunters with overwhelming power. It was completely different from what happened in the forest region.

Our allies had the upper hand in every way.

Attack. Defense. Agility, it wasnt just about those basic things.

The ability of each hunter in performing their duties.

Movement that made up for the weakness of each position.

Agile movement that filled up empty positions.

All of these were being done by hunters that were working together for the first time.

It was as if they had been working together before.

This wasnt a problem of experience at this point.

Someone was moving the entire army.

Also, there was only one person that could do that besides me.

Lee Hui-seungs Strategy skill collides with the users Recruitment skill. It cannot show its effect.

Lee Hui-seungs second wide area skill.

However, I felt like that wasnt all. How many skills were in this mans body, I couldnt know until I saw it personally.

I approached while getting rid of my presence as much as possible.

And finally, I was able to succeed in reaching the large command truck.

I held my head up to look at Lee Hui-seung.

And I realized that he was looking at me as well.

Between the hunters that were moving randomly.

He knew exactly that I was approaching.

The number of ally hunters was in the tens of thousands. With the items they possessed and the skills they used, no matter how sharp my perception was, it would have been impossible to feel my presence.

[Why are you moving as you want?]

A voice rang in my head like an illusion. I determined that it was Lee Hui-seung in an instant, and realized how he was able to find me.

This guy was looking at a map as well.

It was probably not a manual.

However, it was certain that the movement of hunters was created through the Strategy skill. It would have been impossible to find me if not for that.

He opened his mouth once more.

[Seeing how youre not listening to Strategy, it seems youre an irregular.]

Irregular?

Thats what we say about monsters.

The moment I was pondering, my concentration was lost.

His figure that was in front of me disappeared.

My neck went flying.

This was a bad feeling no matter how many times it happened.

The world spun a few times. My sight got dark and the moment my conscience was about to scatter, my eyes shot open at something pulling me.

There were eyes looking at me.

Lee Hui-seung opened his mouth.

Immortality I see.

Damn it!

Lee Hui-seung swung his sword and I retreated like lightning.
