Chapter 137: You cannot run

“I… can’t do this twice.”

The place Heeyun ‘appeared’ was a bit farther away from Dohyuk and Mayhab.

“I feel like throwing up…”

Before she can finish, the ground she was standing on churned and tentacles shot up. It was to surprise the target, just like it did against Cactus Bill.

It wasn’t a good way to fight against a strong man like Dohyuk. With enough Agility, it was easy to dodge it. But Mayhab ‘read’ that Heeyun was weak. None of her stats were over 100. Only her Magic was a little over 500.

-Foolish.

Mayhab, who had experienced surviving the illumination, scoffed. The poor girl should not have interfered in the fight that was out of her league. Surely, Heeyun could not dodge the tentacles.

-….?

Yet the sound that came next as the tentacles attacked wasn’t a sound of penetrating flesh. There was no Heeyun at the end of the tentacles. Instead, tentacles were being thrown off.

“You are so proud.”

With a smirk-

“And you ambush a little girl like that?”

Dohyuk kicked Mayhab’s head.

However, Mayhab didn’t even budge. On the contrary, Dohyuk felt pain in his feet, but he just ignored it and twisted his body to kick the leg again.

-Not enough.

“Really?”

Before Dohyuk could speak, Mayhab’s body fell down. It wasn’t from the kick itself.

<<Divine Power: Wrath of melting heat>>

The heat had melted his leg, just a tiny bit to make him fall. Mayhab quickly recovered, but Dohyuk, who was now split into two, unleashed a barrage of kicks onto Mayhab’s body.

“…Whew.”

Dohyuk landed on the ground as he watched Mayab staggering back from the attack. His feet felt painful as Mayhab’s figure was the strongest of all the ‘metal’ he had fought so far.

So he knew that he couldn’t hurt him that much.

-Like I said… this isn’t enough.

Mayhab then pulled out his sword, but at Heeyun. It was too short for it to reach Heeyun, but when Mayhab brought it up to his head, the height of the sword stretched to ten meters like a whip.

The sword slashed down at Heeyun.

There was the sound of the ground tearing apart

Even then, Heeyun’s body that should’ve been hit and split into two was in the air.

Her expression showed that she was in pain, but…

-What.

She was not injured.

-Nothing works… what is your power?

Mayhab readied himself. The sword returned to its original size. With it, Mayhab readied a thrust this time.

-But you are still human. There should be a limit.

And he stabbed. Like he said, this attack could’ve been the final blow to Heeyun.

But-

“That’s enough.”

Dohyuk kicked Mayhab’s arm to move its angle. Dohyuk then divided himself into two. Mayhab’s sword then swung at the empty air, where Dohyuk would appear as a double.

“…!”

He quickly moved his body, but it was too late. His left hand was cut down. Another Dohyuk kicked Mayhab’s body to push it back.

But it still did no damage.

-No heat anymore? I see that you have gotten enough faith again. You could’ve saved your arm.

“It feels better to save it for the grand slam.”

-That is foolish.

Mayhab knew that the amount of faith Dohyuk was gathering, which was about 100 thousand per minute, was not still enough to melt his entire body away.

<<Divine Power: Seeker of the Core>>

Dohyuk was also looking for a way. The power granted him to detect the power of a god that surrounded the region. It enabled him to sense the power like a cloud. Godly Items were hidden in a place with heavy clouds.

Therefore, he knew. A majority of the cloud was gathered on that figure right now.

There was only one thing Dohyuk could do

‘Buy more time.’

The Dohyuk without a hand charged at Mayhab, and another Dohyuk also did the same thing.

Dohyuk was now perfectly utilizing Double. But the double effort did not work against Mayhab.

-Easy.

The voice of arrogance. Dohyuk was getting tired, but Mayhab seemed fine. Next, his fist struck against Dohyuk’s ribcage and threw him down. Another Dohyuk’s feet were cut, but he still dropped to the ground.

-The result is the same.

Mayhab scoffed. He had taken no damage while Dohyuk was at his limit. He was out of energy now.

-Will you give up now? Or do you want to play more? I am willing to keep up with you as you are worthy of my time.

“…”

The Dohyuk without a leg placed his hand on the ground to push himself up. Mayhab silently looked down. There was nothing Dohyuk could do anyway.

But it was enough for Dohyuk.

“Di…gest.”

Light shined from the entire port, and when the light disappeared, Dohyuk’s hand was now touching the sand.

-….Hah.

All the godly power of the region was now centered at Mayhab’s figure. It allowed Dohyuk to digest the giant metal structure that was no longer a godly structure.

Of course, it didn’t do anything against the god’s figure-

“AHHHH!”

With a shout, Dohyuk without his left hand charged. Mayhab, however, did not care to dodge. Whatever he was trying to do wasn’t enough to injure Mayhab.

He was almost right in his guess, except that Dohyuk wasn’t trying to kick.

Dohyuk grabbed Mayhab as if he was begging.

-What is the meaning of this?

Mayhab looked down at Dohyuk in disgust.

-I’m sure this isn’t how you beg.

“…You can’t run.”

And with that, Dohyuk unleashed all of his power.

The heat that melted Bill was transferred over to Mayhab’s entire body. Dohyuk knew he couldn’t melt Mayhab entirely, but as Mayhab tried to speak out, he felt something coming across.

-Light?

From the city wall, a thick ray of light was fired down at them. Mayhab raised his hand instinctively, but there was no need, as those rays were blocked by something in the air.

-….!

That’s when he realized that some kind of invisible barrier was surrounding him and Dohyuk. As he felt something from below, Mayhab looked down and saw the Dohyuk without leg grabbing his leg.

“You can’t run, you assh*le.”

He now saw the dome, covering them. It was changing into different colors along with the temperature inside.

-You…!

Mayhab looked around and found the culprit behind the dome. Heeyun, who just finished her job, was panting outside.

“Don’t look at me like that.

The Green.

It was the Nature that allowed Heeyun to transfer the light she took into mana, then to any shape she wanted to create. That was what she created to protect herself against Mayhab’s attack, and to create the ‘greenhouse’ while Dohyuk was buying her time.

The catapults were still firing onto the surface of the dome. And the surface of the dome was now transferring energy into the dome. In addition, the heat from Dohyuk kept on circulating on the inside.

-Puny…!

Mayhab tried to move, but the Dohyuks did not budge. He couldn’t overpower Mayhab, but his heat allowed him to stick onto Mayhab even when the heat brought searing pain onto himself.

-I cannot run.

Mayhab then realized, as he felt his figure was melting away, that there was nowhere to run. The ground was no longer his port, where he could disappear into.

He was now trapped inside, waiting to be melted down completely.
