Chapter 583: Supreme Sacrifice (3)

I wanted to smack him when I met him. However, when I actually looked at his face, I felt happy.

His face didn’t change that much. It was still the same as the giant pig I saw before. Rather, it was his body that had changed. I had already seen his appearance before through the hand mirror, but he was even bigger in person.

When I saw him standing in front of me, I noticed the difference.

‘It seems… that your body got bigger. Did you grow taller too?’

I didn’t say it out loud, but he seemed to have noticed it quickly anyway, considering the words he uttered.

“I think I’ve been getting taller lately. Oh, let’s catch up later. We’re in a pretty complicated situation right now. The answer’s obvious, but… are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. I’m still… fine.”

“Oh, it looks like I shouldn’t have asked that. You can’t possibly be okay… I think it would be better to finish this as soon as possible and go to the temple. Anyway, I didn’t think we’d reunited this way, but it is a little dramatic, so I’m satisfied with this. I’ve been thinking a lot about seeing you after so long. In fact, I thought I’d hug you as soon as I met you. It’s a shame, but I’m really glad to be able to help you right away.”

“I feel the same way.”

“It would be better to step back a little more. We’re pretending it’s okay, but in fact, our situation’s pretty messed up.”

Frankly, the way he defended against continuous attacks with his huge shield was pretty cool.

‘Ah, he can even look awesome now.’

It wasn’t possible to see in detail what was going on ahead because the energy the demon was exhaling was explosive.

‘Between the Legendary grade and the Semi-Mythic grade? No… it’s even stronger than the average. Is it around the top of the Semi-Mythic grade?’

Even if I thought of the continent as a standard, the villain had strong enough firepower not to be pushed back. Although Park Deokgu was a specialist in blocking, I thought it couldn’t be easy for him.

‘Although it looks like he’s deflecting it so easily…’

I thought it wasn’t strange that he could stop the attacks since even during the invasion of the 27th Corps, there was a time when he fought alone against Donovan, but it was still surprising.

In fact, Donovan, the Corps traitor, who was killed by the lovely returner, never fought the pig seriously.

It was the established theory of the academia that he played with him rather than attacking with the intent to kill. The very thoughts that Donovan had and the villain before us were having were different.

Considering the attacks he was receiving were filled with the desire to kill me at all costs, it was correct to assume that the pig was complete in almost all areas.

Ahn Ki-mo was applying a buff on Park Deokgu as if he intuited that he would become a folding screen.

At the same time, he poured divine power out toward those who were injured. That alone showed me his training resulted in great outcomes. Especially as a buffer, he had grown a few steps further.

At first, I felt that he changed his growth direction because he thought he couldn’t beat Elena and Sun Hee-young with pure divine power, but the real strength of Ahn Ki-mo wasn’t his ability as a buffer.

He had defense and attack power that wouldn’t be left behind even when compared to the top-tier avant-garde. As if he wanted to prove that he also changed, I saw him running ahead alongside Cho Hyejin.

Once a long-range attack came in, a powerful screaming sound had begun to echo again.

-I… will kill… you all…

Park Deokgu prepared for the incoming attack by attaching the shield to his body. With Park Deokgu and Ahn Ki-mo’s presence, the guards’ positioning became a little vague, but soon after seeing the reactionary bastard attacking, I had no choice but to understand.

-You… I will… kill… you at least…

Monsters began to detach and fall from the body of the giant beast.

Surrounded by slime and moving bizarrely, they managed to preserve its human form, but that was it. It just kept walking on two feet, and it couldn’t be seen as a being who could think for himself.

Some of them had disgusting tentacles and incomprehensible body parts, bowing down to him.

After falling from the enormous demon’s body, the small bridles poured out towards the guards with a gasping sound. Reorganizing their ranks, the guards prepared to meet them.

-I’ll kill you… Even if it’s just you!

“Protect him!”

-I can’t… forgive you… for Jin Qing…

“Reorganize the line. Don’t let him lay a finger on the Chairman!”

-I’ll… get my… revenge…

Baaang! Craaaashh!

Crack!

Whooooooosh!

The situation had already before a dire and fierce battle, but I couldn’t find it in me to feel the tension. Rather, the situation was easy enough for me to worry about how to end it.

If it had been before they grew, he would have been a threatening enemy that would require our lives to be risked for him to be defeated, but at the moment, he didn’t feel as powerful.

Park Deokgu was the main tank, Cho Hyejinn the main damage dealer, and Ahn Ki-mo, the healer and sub-tank. At the rear was the Plaguelord Lee Kiyoung. I could fully say that our composition was perfect.

Despite the fact that it had been a long time since we fought together, our movements were still in sync like the flow of water. Wherever Park Deokgu looked, Cho Hyejin would position herself there, and Ahn Ki-mo always rushed into the battlefield with my positioning in mind.

It was my role to control our lack of firepower and the overall situation. Every time I flicked my finger, our team’s attack pattern was reversed.

Wasn’t that the most necessary virtue when hunting with a party and the part that Blue was most confident about?

When a party’s attack pattern was fixed, it wouldn’t only be the monsters that would be exhausted. The party itself would feel fatigued as well. Even in battles between humans, discarding fixed patterns was one of the important factors.

Seeing those people moving organically without delays, I realized that they hadn’t forgotten what they learned before. In particular, it didn’t seem like Park Deokgu had forgotten, causing me to smile with satisfaction.

“Switch, switch.”

“I know.”

“Then I guess we’ll be going in.”

“Hyung-nim, you prepare too.”

“Okay.”

As time passed, the monster was left without any troops.

-I must… kill… you…

He swung his arms and emitted ominous magic with his massive body, but that was all he could do.

-Bloody vengeance…

We couldn’t finish it due to the current situation since no one could deliver a decisive blow like Kim Hyunsung or Jung Hayan, but it was already over.

Of course, it didn’t mean that there was nothing to think about.

‘Is it right to just finish this like this?’

I started to worry about it. I didn’t want to make a scene. Just…

‘I think I have to dig into it…’

Such a thought suddenly passed through my head. Was there a demon who could deliver the continent’s achievements to that extent? The possibility was low, but did Lee Gye-shin intervened?

Would Mikhail and Natalie know more about the internal affairs of the Order? If they didn’t have the right information, then the bastard before us might be the last one to have it.

my mind.

It seemed a little difficult, but I thought I could capture it…

‘Has his reason been completely eaten?’

It looked like that based on his outward appearance, but I thought I had to check in detail.

Park Deokgu spoke as if he thought I was continuing to stumble.

“Hyung-nim.”

“…”

“It’s a completely different situation from your case. They are the ones who chose to corrupt themselves. There is no need to be shaken. You know that, right?”

‘No, it’s not because of that…’

“It’s not your fault…”

‘It’s really not because of that, you bastard.’

“You don’t need to be mindful of that…”

‘I’m saying that’s not it, you pig. ‘

No matter how I were to think about it, I was standing at a crossroads where I couldn’t help but worry.

No wonder I pretended to be struggling and grabbed my head because I wanted to drag time.

Although I could see them agitated for a moment, I was at ease.

‘I should continue with this.’

If the only option left were to kill him, I would have pushed on, but it seemed that it wouldn’t be bad to have a conversation once he had been overpowered. In the meantime, he rushed as if he was agitated, making a strange sound, but as expected, it was impossible to penetrate the Blue avant-garde.

What splattered toward me was, at best, his blood and sticky slime. I wanted to wipe it off right away, but I thought keeping it up would paint a more desperate picture.

Rather, it was better if I were to get hit by such fluids.

It was unpleasant, but it wasn’t enough to wound me.

‘Right. Please splash me a little more with your blood while you’re at it, man. That’s good for people to look at. I was worried because there hasn’t been such a scene recently.’

He seemed to be working hard, almost as if in hopes of meeting my expectations.

‘Make it a little messier. Asshole.’

He was definitely going crazy.

That was when I thought about finishing our work in earnest. I felt as if the atmosphere in the hall had changed rapidly. No, it had definitely changed.

Those who were constantly moving stood still as if they were affected by something.

Park Deokgu and Ahn Ki-mo looked at me with an anxious expression.

The same went for Cho Hyejin, too. What I felt behind it was a huge flow of magical power, and my body shook by itself.

My legs fluttered, and an unknown fear soared up, causing my hair to stand up. Even the monster bastard, who was busy talking bullshit, began to mutter about the existence in front of him in a quiet voice.

-De… Demon…

‘No. She’s not a demon.’

-Demon… It’s the demon.

“She’s not a demon, bastard …fuck… I understand that you think she’s a demon, but she’s not.’

What kind of face was she doing to be called a demon? It was afraid to look back. Her voice burst while I was hesitating.

“Die.”

At this, I could see enormous magic falling over the bastard’s head.

Baaaaaannnnggggg!!!
