Chapter 91

The minimum requirement for a successful S rank dungeon raid was 3 S rank hunters and 20 A rank hunters.

If so, in order to attack the SS Rank Dungeon, which is also called an ‘out of ordinary’ dungeon, how many hunters would be needed?

The answer is, at least a SS rank hunter was required. Of course, you could also succeed with a team consisting of dozens of S rank hunters.

That’s very fortunate, because in this banquet, a lot of S rank superhumans were gathered. The total number of S rank superhumans present here was about 40, and there’s also close to 10 S rank hunters from Morian Guild.

S rank knights had the ability to defeat at least A rank monster.

However, in order to hunt monsters effectively, a superhuman ‘Hunter’ was needed, more than knights.

Why? Because a Knight’s ability was only spectacular, extensive and not effective against monsters.

“Shit, a bastard lit a fire on the monster’s head!”

“Hey! Its jaw is opened up, Step back!”

“These damn knights! If you don’t know how to hunt monsters, please stay still!”

“Ah! Your skill also hit me!”

Making the hunt inefficient and also causing damage to their own allies.

In addition, monsters had a different body structure from humans. They shouldn’t attack the monster with the same ‘weak points’ as human.

By the way, that’s the only thing the knights know. So what can they do?

They grew up only fighting among themselves to hone their anti-personnel combat technique.

All of their battles weren’t life threatening. It was nothing but a ‘show’ to entertain the eyes of the audience with brilliant superpowers and powerful power.

If you attack like this, I will block it like this and then I’ll launch a counterattack, and you will block it like this. That was the summary of battle between knights.

Of course, that’s not bad at all. With that kind of repetitive practice, they were able to react immediately when those situations happened. It was really good to be able to activate a slow superpower instantly given the situation… However, will such a ‘situation’ happen every time?

Battling a monster was way different from battling a human. Monsters didn’t have any sort of pattern in their attack.

People are crazy about ‘knights’. And knights live with that pride knowing that their superpower was much more stronger than those of hunters.

However, the reason why the public assumed that knights had stronger superpower than hunters was because hunters preferred efficiency above all. They exclude useless splendor and redundant moves as much as possible.

Knights were certainly a splendid superhuman. However, they were nothing but a novice when dealing with monsters.

Right after the entrance of Deformed dungeon burst opened, they were doing fine thanks to their strong power. But, when S rank monsters began to appear, they were slowly getting pushed back.

The knights realized for the first time.

About the world where the hunters they ignored lived in.

About the reality of the monsters who invaded Earth.

About the battlefield with real monsters.

They always lived on the elite course, they thought that if they made up their minds, they could beat monsters easily.

But that was nothing but their arrogance, the knights of the seven families realized it today.

Crackk!! Cracck!!

The entrance of the deformed dungeon was torn and something squeezed out of it. It was the head of an enormous monster with a blue scale and red eyes. The monster opened its jaw and roared.

Crackle!!

Ether sparks began to splatter all over the place.

Woooong!!

An unknown noise enveloped the hall. It was unknown whether it was a cry of a monster or a sound of space getting torn apart. and when the ‘final boss’ finally escaped from the deform dungeon, everyone lost their fighting spirit.

The ceiling of the building collapsed, and the light of the full moon poured on them directly. However, they couldn’t see the sky because of the huge stature of the monster which blocked their view.

That’s a real monster.

Until now, hunters all over the world had been fighting against those things.

“Ah……”

Even the S rank knight couldn’t help but take a step back.

Only the hunters stood in front of the SS rank monster.

Looking at that giant monster, Taylor clenched her fist.

She tried to recall her past experiences and knowledge that she shared with her colleagues from a long time ago.

‘Hey, can’t the flying guy just attack its wings?’

‘Are you crazy? Last time I touched the wing, a poison spread out and I almost fell down.’

‘Seodam is right. Some flying monsters have blades on their wings.’

‘Monsters are basically a creature that evolved easily. Their weaknesses that we could think of are covered by evolution.’

Through her experience of dealing with numerous monsters, Taylor was able to think about ‘proper strategy’ to deal with every monster. They couldn’t beat it by simply relying on their superpower.

‘I can do it.’

There are around 50 S rank superhumans in this place. With a proper plan, they could defeat any number of SS rank monsters.

She dragged her baseball bat and approached her father, Alexandre Blestash. Her bat was a superpower assistant that her father and her siblings despised. A symbol of weakness of someone who was unable to control their own abilities and had to rely on something.

But at this moment, Taylor Nine wielded it proudly and stood confidently in front of her father.

“Father. There’s nothing to worry about. The Capital defense hunters must have been dispatched, and they will arrive before the damage gets even worse.”

That’s right. Russia was a superpower powerhouse, there’s no way they would only wait and see the catastrophe happened in the middle of Moscow.

However, if they arrive and defeat the beast.

“…The 7 families of Knight have no power to defeat a SS rank monster, so the Hunter must help! I believe that would be the title of the article that will get published soon.”

She spoke loudly deliberately so all of her siblings could hear her, but no one could refute her. So, Taylor Nine spoke once again.

“But, I am also a hunter.”

She denied the title of being a knight.

“I know how to deal with that monster. As Taylor ‘Nine’, a hunter.”

And then,

“…What if I defeat that monster as Taylor ‘Blestash’, a knight of the Blestash family?”

If so, the shameful stigma of defeating the monster with the help of the Hunters could be removed. Alexandre’s pupil shook, he realized the meaning of Taylor’s words.

It seemed that Taylor wanted to deny the mindset he had pursued all his life. However, he had to abandon his pride and make a ‘deal’ as the patriarch of the Blestash family.

“What do you want in return?”

“If I beat that monster under the name of Blestash, you will remove me from the family forever.”

There was no room for concern.

She had been gone for so long after the family denied her existence and now for the first time ever, she said she wants to help the family albeit it will also be for the last time.

“…..okay. It’s a deal.”

Eventually, Alexander’s permission fell, and Taylor shouted out loud at the knights of the family with an excited expression.

“From now on, I’ll tell all of you about the ‘proper strategy’ of how to deal with that monster, so I’d really appreciate it if our honorable knights follow my lead!”

She was far from the word ‘leadership’, and she was also very bad at issuing commands and giving explanations. So, she only conveyed the necessary information in a very simple and ignorant manner.

“If you touch that baby’s neck, it’ll open its mouth right? No one should touch it before I tell you to do it.”

“Hey, you stupid shit! I told you not to touch it before I said it!”

“Don’t hit the wings as much as possible! Understand? If you don’t, try touching it! Other knights will use your death as an example to learn from, and it’s good that you, who is uselessly full of pride, disappear from this world. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”

She clearly distinguished between ‘do not do’ and ‘must do’.

“Shut up and just aim at the tail! Don’t just stand there but go for it!”

“What kind of punk lit a light in front of its eyes? Did you forget what I said earlier? Don’t irritate its eyes with light!”

“Hey, I just thought about it, but if you touch its nails, it will burst. Uh, you know what I mean right? Forget it, I’ll take care of it by myself.”

Her plan was based on the knowledge and know-how which hunters had been studying for decades while fighting against those monsters. She didn’t have enough time to explain it all. Nevertheless, she showed it all using her own body.

The reason she wasn’t scared of the SS rank monster was because she knew about the monster well.

As a ranked knight, Alexandre was also forced to follow Taylor Nine’s instruction, and he had no choice but to regret his decision of disowning Taylor from the family.

Because,

‘…It’s a beautiful light.’

The ability that Taylor wielded resembled the ideal form that Alexander had pursued his whole life.

Blestash had a total of nine children, and they all dealt with light, but each of them could only deal with one specific ‘form’.

Some made rods of light, some shot light bullets, some made beams of light and swung it, and some made a shield from light.

Eventually, all of her siblings met their growth ceiling and none of them could reach SS rank.

Wouldn’t his youngest daughter, whom he thought as the weakest one in the family, be able to use all ‘forms’ freely?

Taylor Nine handled light freely.

Sometimes she wielded a rod of light, sometimes a bullet , sometimes a ray, and sometimes a shield of light. On top of the eight forms of her siblings, she was also able to use her father form ‘sword of light’.

A superhuman who transcended all forms and dealt with the light itself.

Alexandre Blestash trembled in front of the fact that his youngest daughter, Taylor Blesatsh, was the closest one to SS rank in the whole family. He had abandoned someone who could realize his long-awaited dream of SS rank for honor.

‘What the hell have I done…!’

Family honor? Money? Authority? Politics? That was all good. But, the reason why he raised her children strictly was to make them into a SS rank superhuman, a level that he himself could not reach.

“That, what…….”

“You can use superpower like that…?”

Taylor Nine’s ability was one of a kind, a superhuman blessed with God’s blessing had appeared. They didn’t have a set ‘form’ of ability and could freely change their ‘form’ just like Taylor.

Kuung!!

When the SS rank monster fell, people cheered briefly.

Everyone was awed by Taylor Nine’s majesty. They had successfully escaped the immediate crisis. But no one could truly relax yet. The deform dungeon was still open, and thousands of beasts were waiting to pop out.

Suddenly, a seven-colored halo poured out from the sky. People glanced towards it blankly. They saw a lone ‘magician’ descend from the air with her hair fluttering.

Magic, an academic study that uses essence energy as their source. That was what Morian’s guild master, Avon said to them. However, that magic was very familiar with ordinary superpowers. If she didn’t explain it, they would only think that it was only an ‘elemental’ superpower.

That was their degree of knowledge about ‘Magic’.

Avon may also have thought that was all magic could do.

But it wasn’t.

They thought that way because they hadn’t yet met the best magician on the planet.

The magic of a real ‘witch’ with incomparable talen who was stronger than Yoo Seodam, who taught her about magic and the flower spirit who likes magic.

“That… thing……!”

“Is that, magic…?”

Even though no one explained it, they know that what unfolded before them was magic.

Four magic circles with four different colors interlocked with each other like a cog wheel, and the fantastic power that poured out from there couldn’t be explained as something other than magic.

Sometimes, a chain of translucent ice poured out and pierced the beasts, and sometimes a huge cube was created in the air to confine the beasts, and sometimes the space itself was torn apart and lava poured out from there and burned the enemies.

The wizard eventually landed in front of the entrance of the dungeon and grabbed the huge magic circle with hand.

Kwadududug!

Like a miracle, the head of a monster who emerged from the inside the dungeon shattered and the ‘entrance’ was completely closed.

“…..”

“……”

Silence.

Everyone was forced to shut their mouths in front of the white-haired wizard who showed up with an overwhelming presence. As she slowly turned her body and looked at the world with her transparent eyes, the camera quickly turned towards her.

“Yo….you who the hell are you?”

Then, Yekaterina smiled vigorously. Her dark circles and tired eyes were nowhere to be seen. Today was the happiest day in her whole life.

“I am Yekaterina, the magician of ‘Another League’ guild.”
