Chapter 649 – 649. Eliminate the Devil Cult (7)

“Focus on his feathers! Keep your eyes peeled!”

Chow ah-

The leader of the punitive force, Kim Tae-hyeon, the guild leader, cut off the approaching feathers and shouted.
Iron Blood Guild broke through numerous dungeons and gates.
In the process, he always stood at the forefront, but there was no battle as tough as today.

Even though the madmen running like crazy were annoying, they weren’t too difficult.
In fact, most of the demons have been killed.

The problem was two demons.
A demon with a bird’s head and a man with ore all over his body.
Each of them had unbelievable strength.

‘I hunted this monster alone… ?’

Every time I block the attacks of demons, I am surprised by Lee Ho-yeon’s strength.
How did you single-handedly subdue a monster that would be difficult to subdue even if the entire subjugation team worked together?

Guildmaster Kim Tae-hyeon glanced at the battle on the other side.
Lee Ho-yeon was fighting the Pandemic boss.

The battle couldn’t be seen properly because of the building debris floating everywhere, but the boss of Pandemic must not be weak either.
I wanted to help Lee Ho-yeon by hunting down demons with only the power of the subjugation party, but it was getting more and more difficult to hold on.

“Kuh, keugh…!”

“Kyunghyun! What the fuck…!”

As the fight dragged on, the fallen subjugation team members began to appear one by one.
Hard ore, which gives a tremendous impact even when touched, flies from all sides, and feathers aiming for the weak point rush in between them.
Even when the subjugation team members tried to attack the demons, they were quick to move.

‘At this rate, there is only annihilation…’

The leader, who was directly enduring the demon’s attack, was getting tired.
Guildmaster Kim Tae-hyun is holding on at the front, but as time goes by, the burden on himself grows.
He said that if he can’t hold on, it’s only a matter of time before others fall.
I had to see the match as quickly as possible.

‘Third time. No, there are two left.’

In the long battle, Kim Tae-hyun analyzed his opponent’s patterns.
There was a cycle in which the demon with ore all over his body summoned stones.
Exactly every 5 times, the ore wriggles and creates a small gap.
It must be magically recharged.

‘I aim for that gap and rush.’

Kwaaang-!

Avoid flying ores, and cut feathers.

‘One last time.’

Kim Tae-hyun, the guild leader, sent a hand signal to the punitive force behind him and gradually closed the distance.
Before long, the devil summoned a huge ore from his body.
This was the 5th time.

“Now!!”

Taehyung Kim opened his eyes and rushed forward.
At the same time, he took a defensive posture with both hands filled with the mana he had condensed in his body.

[Reverse Attack Stance]

It is a unique skill that stores the power received for a few seconds in its own body and then returns it.
This was the reason he always took the lead in battle even though he was the guild leader.
He is high-risk and high-return to the extent that he himself also suffers damage, but he can certainly inflict strong damage to the enemy.

Whoop-!

A huge ore hit Kim Tae-hyun’s body as it was.
Shock enough to make your head dizzy.
He may have broken all his bones, seeing as he has no feeling in his arms.

Taehyung Kim caught his spirit and kept his eyes on him.
Ore Demon takes about 2 seconds to recharge ore.

He had enough time for himself to close the distance and hit the counterattack.
Kim Tae-hyun’s many experiences shined in this situation.

“…?!”

However, contrary to Kim Tae-hyeon’s calculation, the devil was creating ore right away.
The guy had time to recharge every 5 times. That phenomenon has been confirmed dozens of times so far.
It was only then that Kim Tae-hyun confirmed that the devil’s mouth was twisted.

‘Oh shit… !’

It’s a trap.
No, maybe that guy was too forceful to attack.
The important thing is that you have to hit one more attack in this state.

Kim Tae-hyun’s counterattack stance is a strong skill, but there is a risk of taking damage as it is.
He took just one hit, but his head was dizzy.
If he gets hit like this one more time, his body won’t be able to withstand it.

“Guild Master!”

“Don’t come any closer!”

Taehyung Kim bit his lip and looked straight ahead.

‘Can not avoid.’

He jumped with the intention of charging at the bastard, so he couldn’t escape that attack.
Then… Rather, you should dig in.
Rather than trying to preserve his own life with a low probability, he should throw his body and make a gap for the subjugation party at least for a moment.
That would have a higher chance of defeating the demon.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have brought Younghan…’

Kim Tae-hyun erased his useless thoughts and continued his charge.
To prevent the guild members from being attacked, he thought he would block them all.
His gaze was chasing the ore demon to the end.

That moment.
The ore that covered his eyes disappeared.

“Eraser.”

“…?!”

Taehyung Kim opened his eyes wide.
It was a death-defying rush, because the ore suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes.

‘I don’t know what’s going on… It rushes as it is.’

Move his body during thinking time.
The ore devil was also pulling out ore again, as if embarrassed, but Kim Tae-hyun was already approaching the ore devil’s nose.

Aaaaang-!!

“Keu, keuaa…!”

He returned the energy stored in his body to the devil as it was.
The first demon’s scream.
Taehyung Kim stepped behind him with his arms drooping.

‘Shit… If I had been hit a second time, I would have died instantly.’

When the counterattack was over, the damage accumulated on his body was felt.

He thought only his arm was sore, but it seems that the bones of his whole body were fractured.
To say that he suffered such damage just because he was hit with a stone, his very existence is unfair.

Dump-

Taehyung Kim sat on the floor with one knee on his back.
The ore demon was writhing in pain, but it didn’t seem to have taken fatal damage.

‘… Keuuh, can’t I finish him off?’

At best, I made a gap for the ore demon, but the new head demon prevented the other punitive forces from coming.

“Quooooo! Kurrrr!”

The bird-headed demon was glowing with feathers all over his body.
Seeing that he is much stronger than the offensive he has shown so far, it seems that he is also burdened with defeating the ore demon.
Then, the ore demon glared at him and opened his mouth.

“Keu, keuuk… Ha, haaa… On the human subject…”

“Crazy stone. Did you know how to talk?”

Under.
Taehyung Kim smiled at the ore demon glaring at him.
Was it amazing that he opened up the words of a guy who hadn’t said a word until now?
As if he had fully recovered from the shock, he spewed life in this direction.

‘Is the subjugation a failure in the end… ?’

It wasn’t that he underestimated his opponent’s power.
The Association conceived a subjugation force with a force three times stronger than the expected power of the Demonic Cult.
The reason was because the magician Lee Ho-yeon insisted strongly… I hope this will not be enough

Kim Tae-hyun squeezed his eyes and forced his body.
Sitting there doesn’t help at all.
You have to get up and grab some attention.

When I thought so

Kaaaaang-!

With a tremendous roar, the jewel on the back of the ore devil’s head exploded.

“Quaaaaagh! Ah, aaaaagh!”

Blood began to flow from the body of the ore demon who clutched at the back of his head as if in pain.
Who made the devil like that?

There was no need to ask.
Because he saw the back of a familiar man in front of him.

“Kim Tae-hyun, guild leader. Can you wake up?”

“Yeah, yes.”

Kim Tae-hyeon saw Lee Ho-yeon looking down at him, and he unknowingly trembled.
Even though the golden eyes were not enemies, I felt fear.
But more than that, a sense of relief enveloped her body.

“Then, come to your senses. I will finish that stone, but there is still one left. Kim Tae-hyun, guild leader.”

“… I see! Everyone, cheer up a little!”

Taehyung Kim forcibly squeezed his mana and stood up.
The ore demon that had been harassing them was mortally wounded in a single moment.

It was a startling sight for all the subjugation squad members present here.
The most important thing in a fight is momentum.
At this time, if you can’t bring momentum, you can’t win the battle.

“Mage Lee Ho-yeon killed Pandemic’s boss and joined! End them all!”

Kim Taehyun raised his voice and raised his sword again.
Just by Lee Ho-yeon’s arrival, the faces of the punitive squad members were filled with hope.

*

The battle did not last long.
Malphys, a demon with ore all over his body, was mortally wounded by Lee Ho-yeon’s surprise attack.
Having broken the gem on the back of his head, which is his greatest weakness, it was not difficult to end his life.

‘I didn’t know that Kim Tae-hyun’s guild leader would be so strong.’

Although he helped with this laser, the way he risked his life and made a gap was a model for a guild leader in Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes.
I wanted to build a good relationship with the Iron Blood Guild with just that one person.

After finishing Malphis, he also dealt with Amon, a demon with a bird’s head.
Although they struggled against the two demons, the entire subjugation party was the aces of the Hunter Association.
It was enough to support Lee Ho-yeon if everyone came together to keep one demon in check.

Of course, it wasn’t easy.
There were many casualties while Lee Ho-yeon was gone, and it was difficult not only to capture him alive, but also to leave the body properly.
It was to the point where I doubted whether I could study the corpses of those with scars all over their bodies.

‘The reinforcements are filthy late.’

As soon as he encountered the demon, he called for reinforcements, but the reinforcements arrived only after the battle was over.
I was annoyed at first, but the subjugation party itself was already a ridiculous force.
All useful power without a schedule was put into the punitive force, and the rest of the power was said to be essential manpower for the guild.
They stopped all their work, organized reinforcements, and left right away, so they couldn’t be angry.

[Clean up the Mine organization that hid in Korea! Brainwashed ordinary people are entrusted to specialized institutions due to memory confusion…]

[Genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon. Subdue two demons this time! New demons Amon and Malphys. The battle video is heating up the world again…]

[Interview with Taehyeon Kim, the head of Iron Blood Guild. “Mage Lee Ho-yeon is the future of the world. Without him, the subjugation party would have been wiped out. We must have a sense of crisis in the creature called the devil. To kill one devil, we need more than 10 S-class hunters.”]

Lee Ho-yeon’s name soared into the sky once again.
The name Lee Ho-yeon appeared in every interview with the punitive squad members, and as the battle video was released, it became strange to say negative things to Lee Ho-yeon.

“At this rate, the Lee Ho-Yeon Church will emerge, not the Devil Church.”

Lee Ho-yeon, who was lying on the bed and examining Everyday, turned off his smart watch and shook his head.
It’s good to be famous, but if you become a great person, you will feel rejected.

You should also apply gold paint to your face.

Belt- belt- belt-

A sound is heard at regular intervals next to Lee Ho-yeon’s bed.
It was a machine that checked the heart rate.
The fact that this is next to the bed means that this is a hospital room.

I was hospitalized again.

This is Iron Blood Hospital.
It is a VIP room prepared by Kim Tae-hyun and Kim Young-han, who said that the Iron Blood Guild was of great help.

“I heard you don’t have to be hospitalized. Tsk.”

Lee Ho-yeon’s physical condition is not good at the moment, but her natural healing power is amazing.
Even if she doesn’t have to get treatment, she’ll get better with a good night’s sleep.
But somehow, no one listened to what he had to say.

‘Still, I missed out on all the interviews…’

Perhaps Kim Tae-hyeon, the guild leader, was also considerate of that.
It’s still hard, but I didn’t want to even do an interview.

“Honey…! Is there any pain anywhere…?”

At the time when Lee Ho-yeon was lying in a daze, the door to the room connected to her hospital room opened and her face peeked out.

“It’s okay, Mr. Ayoung.”

“If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you have to tell me at any time.”

She was, of course, Baek Ah-yeong.
When she heard that she was hurt again, she said that this time she would keep an eye on her, and she was in the room next door, pushing her face almost every 10 minutes.

‘Well, it’s okay if you feel comfortable with that.’

That’s better than crying and running.
In fact, as soon as she got to the hospital, she tried to shed tears again, so it was hard to stop them.

“Honey. I can’t do it. I have to do a thorough examination again.”

“Ahyeong. No. Honey. Can’t you lie down for a while? If you take the test 4 times a day, the result will be the same.”

“Yeah, but…”

“Come on. You can lie down next to me, so lie down here. That would be more comfortable.”

“Honey…! Does that mean that just being there will heal you?”

“… Yes. That’s what I meant, so I’m just here.”

Lee Ho-yeon vacated her bed as she watched Ah-yeong Baek approach her.
Okay. She’s better than crying and screaming.
