YM778.TV Chapter 372
Boom Boom Boom–!
As soon as the skill activated, the [Gunblade] fired a shot with a roar. Purple spheres formed, following their own orbits, rushed at the statue at irregular intervals.
[Grrrrrrr….]
However, the Goddess Statue spat out dark liquid and avoided Bang Eunji’s skill at a speed that made her invisible to the nakedeye. Almost simultaneously, bulging blue veins began to rise on the statue’s marble skin.
“[Dark Assault].” At that moment, Jung Garam infiltrated the statue’s blindspot and rushed at her bosom. Although the dagger hit her side, the black flesh was only slightly revealed, as if some sand had been shaved off. The damage was minimal.
Jung Garam narrowly escaped the nails that were trying to grab his neck.
“Is she like a brownie cookie?” Bang Eunji said, when she saw the black flesh exposed underneath.
“What are you even saying? Focus.” Jung Garam pouted and changed to a reverse grip on his dagger. “I guess that thing can recover as well?”
As Jung Garam said, the Holy Mother statue’s side was restored to white again, as if there had never been any damage. Bang Eunji placed the [Gunblade] on her shoulder again.
The Holy Mother statue immediately approached the gunslinger–a clear move to keep her strong attack in check.
“Where ya going?”
However, Jung Garam immediately blocked the statue’s way. Jung Garam swiftly slashed with the daggers in each hand, targeting the statue’s nose, lips, and neckline. Although the wounds quickly healed, during the moment the Goddess statue’s vision was obstructed, Bang Eunji’s skill activated.
“[Bazookapo]!”
The Holy Mother Statue, shot from point blank, was pushed back with a loud bang! Despite its charred appearance, the statue began to move again. Immediately, her skin began to recover.
When his special intuition, befitting a Hunter, pinged, Jung Garam spoke to Bang Eunji, “Hey–this is a trap. I think it has infinite recovery; we’ll need to uncover the conditions under which it operates.”
“Wait. [Chaser]!”
When Bang Eunji’s eyes began to shine, the Holy Mother ignored Jung Garam and continued to chase Eunji frantically. Because search and exploration skills had an increased margin of error when the User was moving, it was hard to derive accurate results. Therefore, Bang Eunji had to move half-heartedly.
“This is crazy!” Jung Garam drove his daggers into both of the Holy Mother’s back wings. And, the moment he was about to cut off her head–
[Graggghhhhh!]
The statue’s head turned 180 degrees; suddenly, she began to eject black liquid towards Jung Garam’s face.
The liquid wasn’t simply just liquid, of course. As the [Dummy] began to generate smoke, Jung Garam realized what the sticky black liquid was. “Is this thing fucking crazy? It’s spewing sulfuric acid.”
Of course, because this wasn’t a real body, there wasn’t a huge problem nor did it feel painful, but the [Dummy]’s functionality was slowly deteriorating.
However, Jung Garam didn’t fall from the Holy Mother Statue’s shoulders and instead exerted stronger force into his daggers. Then, with pure, brute force, he sliced through the statue from the wing roots all the way up to the shoulders.
“I found it!” At that moment, Bang Eunji found the ‘exit’ to this space. As if she were flying, she leaped and landed in front of Jung Garam, stepping on the fallen statue’s face.
Her heels, heavier than before, very casually crushed the statue’s head. The Holy Mother, who struggled even after both arms were cut off, dispersed into black sand when her head was completely crushed.
Only then did Jung Garam pour a cleaning potion over the [Dummy]’s head. Fortunately, the core circuit engraved under the skin wasn’t exposed, so his vision returned to normal.
After observing her guildmate, Bang Eunji pointed in a direction and said, “You can escape by going through those two trees. Eunji detected some movements over there.”
“There’s some other bastards there?”
“Yes. About five?”
“Fine. Let’s go immediately.”
So, they stood tall and tried to escape, but…
Thump– Thump–
Before they knew it, two Holy Mother statues fell from the air and glared at them.

[Kehehe, I’m overflowing with power.]
Now fully transformed into a wolf, Sung Yi-hwan, with his yellow eyes flashing, lowered his body. Then, he began to dash at Dawon-ie with a speed my eyes couldn’t catch.
[Awoooo–!]
As he barked, he jumped to the ceiling; he opened his mouth wide, as if he were about to bit the Mage. Though his movements were simple, his speed was alarming.
“[Demonist].” However, just before those yellowed, sharp fangs could touch him, a black circle appeared where Dawon-ie once stood. Golden magic circles began to fill that space. Then, a dark devil’s arm popped out before holding onto Sung Yi-hwan.
The outstretched arms twisted Sung Yi-hwan as if he were some laundry. I opened my eyes wide when I saw his neck was instantaneously broken.
‘Is that the end?’
[Kekekekek… You must have known that Werewolves are highly resistant to magic.]
However, Sung Yi-hwan continued to calmly speak even with a broken neck. Rather, he didn’t seem to be hurt at all, and he didn’t lose his momentum.
Sung Yi-hwan grinned, baring his teeth, and raised his head high.
[Awwoooooo—.]
He was howling.
Simultaneously, the summoning circle that Dawon-ie had manifested began to make static noises. The magic circle, which had been rotating round and round in interlocked orbits, was abruptly stopped.
Zzzzt–!
An ominous sound echoed.
My eyes opened wide as I watched the golden magic circle began to collapse. Soon after, the magic circle completely shattered. The once softly glowing, golden magic circle lost its light in an instant and went dark. The demonic arms vanished as well.
As if he were flaunting, Sung Yi-hwan somersaulted in the air before cracking his neck in a few different directions.
[You really did know about a werewolf’s high magic resistance.]
“……”
[If you foolishly threw a fireball at me, I was going to immediately tear apart that pretty face of yours.]
I was lost in thought as I listened to Sung Yi-hwan. ‘Is he saying that he has immunity to most ordinary magic skills?’
In other words, Dawon-ie, as a Mage, was countered by him. I anxiously looked at the Mage, but I couldn’t read his expression. However, he seemed a bit lost in thought as well.
‘First… I should see if there’s something I can do.’
I reached out my hand towards Sung Yi-hwan. The werewolf, in turn, must have noticed my movement as he growled and turned towards me.
“[Dead Mark]!” I had worked the hardest on this skill during training. However, the [Dead Mark] symbol, which appeared above Sung Yi-hwan’s head, suddenly melted away.
[The target’s magic resistance was too high–skill activation has been canceled.]
Sung Yi-hwan laughed at me, baring his yellow teeth.
[I suppose that one’s less intelligent than his servant.]
Then, he lowered himself again, as if he were about to take off. Then, as expected, he leapt incredibly high in the air before shouting at me, “In the time you used your magic… it would have been best for you to run away. Right, Necromancer?”
[Clack Clack!]
[Come at me!]
At that moment, Lackey stepped in between me and Sung Yi-hwan. However, I wasn’t the target–Seo Dawon was the target.
[Shield Break!]
He skillfully turned in the air and smacked Dawon’s shield with his gargantuan forefoot.
The shield, faintly sparkling as if it weren’t fully there, momentarily flickered as it blocked Sung Yi-hwan’s darkened claws. However, the entire shield seemed to have taken a significant impact, as a wave-like shimmer rippled from the impact site.
Creeaak–!
Meanwhile, Sung Yi-hwan raised his other hand and struck down at the shield again. The precarious balance was finally broken, and in the midst of the sparkling, glass-shard-like light, Dawon was left defenseless. My eyes were wide open; I was unable to scream.
