Chapter 98 – Death Doll History Shin Eun-hyuk (7)

Death Doll History Shin Eun-hyuk (7)

-Kyaaaaaaaah!

The queen wasp reacted violently, vibrating its wings at a frightening speed as it splattered poison around. Kang Shin-hyuk stepped back, defending the two task force members just in time.

“Are you okay?! It’s on your face!”

“Kh…no problem.” The poison spattered on his clothes and face, melting his skin with a crackling noise, but it didn’t last long. He had trained his resist poison (SS+) up to A-rank thanks to the administrator’s advice. If he was afraid of poison in the first place, he never would have thought of making a weapon with it.

-Chiik…

His poison resistance was showing off its excellent skill. The poison was ridiculously toxic, but he was able to fend it off. His regeneration cleared up the remaining wounds.

‘Just a little splashed on me and did that. What about the Queen Wasp?’ Kang Shin-hyuk let out a deep laugh as he looked at the monster. It was still fluttering around viciously, but the venom was already worming its way deeper into its body to weaken it. It was already checkmated as soon as he had set up the webs around the gate. However, amid its struggle, it began to fire off wind blades.

“A boss monster that uses the wind property! Senior, we must also fight!”

“We will help out.”

“No.” Kang Shin-hyuk touched his wrist and responded coldly.

“I told you to leave this to me.” He was confident it would drop an item that would help him; he couldn’t make any concessions to the task force. Moreover, it was almost already dead from poison. Contrary to his intentions, however, the members of the association viewed his standoffish demeanor as even cooler.

“Wow…”

“…This is a guy who can see through to S-rank!” Kang Shin-hyuk ignored them and pulled out ten threads. The queen wasp fired off a blade of wind at him.

“Kh!” Kang Shin-hyuk’s eyes flashed as he put both his hands forward. The ten threads flashed out, cutting through the wind blades to reach the queen wasp’s body.

-Kyaaaah!

The pained screams of the queen wasp filled the building. Originally, its body wasn’t so fragile as to be cut by such an attack, but the poison weakened it. Blood began to flow out from the boss as it was struck by threads filled with lightning and poison.

-Kiiiiiii!

“Come on!” The queen’s wings beat more intensely as the queen gave in to anger, giving up all thought of saving herself to kill her foe. A whirlwind of green light began to well up around its wings.

“That’s a strong monster, be careful!”

“Jormungand…”

“When the hell is the chief coming?!”

‘She’s probably not.’ Kang Shin-hyuk mumbled to himself as he prepared to stop the queen. The other gates were still being stabilized by her and Claire, no doubt. She was trusting in Kang Shin-hyuk to deal with this one.

‘Because this is my debut.’ The purpose of today was for him to stand out and gather attention. Shin Eunah could’ve dealt with this monster instantly with her ability, but that would go against their plan. She was clearing the way for Kang Shin-hyuk to stand out as much as possible.

‘But it’s a good opportunity. I was lucky.’ Kang Shin-hyuk pulled out a marble from his inventory. It was the golden-colored bead, which pulsed in tune with his own heart.

-Kiiii?

The queen wasp also seemed to sense the bead’s energy, but it didn’t stop gathering the green wind around it. Now, it looked like a small typhoon was forming around it, hiding the figure of the queen wasp. It was aiming right at him.

‘Yeah, let’s do this right.’ He bent his knees, preparing himself to rush forward. His eyes glowed goldenly and resonated with the bead in his hand. He could feel a cool breeze wrap around him.

‘This will be enough to boost Wind Mastery.’ He held the Shinfeng orb in his hand. When he restored it, he knew nothing about it other than it produced spiritual power, but he knew that couldn’t be all of it. He had a chance to study it in Gromas with his seniors’ help, and thanks to that, he was able to gather a lot of information about it. His emotion skill had grown rapidly at that time, too, helping him in learning about it.

God Wind, or The Wind of God. The Shinfeng orb was an object that symbolizes the endless flow of wind. That is why it produced a seemingly infinite spiritual power. It was a supreme treasure that symbolized the wind attribute. It went without saying that it went well with his [Wind Mastery (A-)] skill. As a result of experimenting with it, the power of his Wind Mastery could greatly increase just by holding it in his hand. It would even increase his wind resistance. The Wind Mastery skill itself was a skill that simultaneously covered the ability to attack with wind and resist wind. In other words, with Wind Mastery, he had no need to learn to Resist Wind.

“You’re going to rush that?!”

“Step back.”

“No, what is with that posture? You can’t hit it!”

“…Whoo.” Kang Shin-hyuk shot off the floor, subtly faster than the queen wasp could complete her skill. He was reading the flow of mana around her, finding the moment to strike. The queen wasp rushed to meet him angrily, the typhoon of wind around her. Kang Shin-hyuk was sucked into the wind as the two collided.

-Kyaaaah!

The queen wasp let out a cry of victory too soon, as a second later, Kang Shin-hyuk pushed out through the wind. His body was covered in wounds from the wind. Even with his skill and the orb, the boss monster’s skill couldn’t be overlooked. But in the end, even the queen’s special attack had failed.

“Break.” Kang Shin-hyuk clenched his fists and crossed them in front of his chest. Ten threads were pulled tightly toward him. The ends of the webs were in the green whirlwind, wrapping around the queen wasp. The whirlwind did not stop, however, as they held the wasp down.

-Kyaaaaaaah!

“Give up…!” He clenched his teeth and pulled his fists forward. Golden energy ran across the strands of the webs as he poured his spiritual power out into it.

“….Grrraaaah!” The sound of his yelling was lost in the wind. He kept pulling, and soon an eerie sound cut through the wind. It wasn’t the sound of his threads breaking, however.

-Kyaaaaaah!

It was the terrible death screams of the queen wasp. The wind scattered, and Kang Shin-hyuk felt his threads fall to the ground. They were wrapped around the stinger of the queen wasp, which was over a meter long.

“You pulled the stinger out of a living boss monster?!”

“That’s something we haven’t even done!” Even the task force members, who dealt with monsters almost daily, were astonished by him.

“Good.” Kang Shin-hyuk nodded and quickly stowed the stinger in his inventory.

-Kyaaaaah!

The queen wasp moved violently. She had lost her stinger and was slowly succumbing to poison. Her wide-open compound eyes flashed with a will to live as she still went after Shin-hyuk. However, the distance between them was too wide. His wounds had already healed from his regeneration ability, and his consumed spiritual power was being supplemented by the wind orb in his hand.

‘Although I can’t use it to recover in the middle of a battle yet.’ The orb hadn’t fully recovered, either. However, given that the opponent was a monster that dealt with wind, it was immeasurably useful this time.

“Let’s finish it now.”

-Shaaaaaaah!

The queen wasp rushed him, unable to even summon a blade of wind. Kang Shin-hyuk lifted his left hand’s index finger and waved it in the air with a smile. He poured all of his remaining spiritual power into a single strand, reinforcing it with his trait.

-Kii

A golden strand that shone bright lightning split the queen wasp in half.
