Chapter 184 – 184. In the Mountains

It wasn’t an illusion this time.
Anxiety flooded his brain.

Leaving behind the lovers’ dissuade, he goes outside with Ruth Ben. The sound of a sledgehammer hitting the wall hit my ears again.

…Thud!!

Sureureung.

I take out Ruth Ben and walk in the direction of the sound. The sound gradually got closer, and the distance between them also increased.

Displeasure also intensifies.

Thump!!… Thump!!

Kwajik!

Eventually, when the emotion reached its peak, a small crack opened in the air. The fallen pieces sublimated into a cluster of light, and black fragments of darkness revealed their faces through the cracks.

I intuitively realized what it was.

The way the prey, who became a hunter, climbs over the fence and enters his ranch. A passage made to erase the order of things through massacre and destruction, and to re-establish the order of the world through the use of the opposite.

“…Reverse gate.”

Beep-beep-

As if to prove it, the alarm sound of the smartphone rings loudly. The danger zone in the message pointed exactly where we were.

“West!?”

“Daewoong! That…”

Boo-woong, the lovers following along with the vibration of their smartphones checked the reverse gate and breathed in vain.

The reverse gate created now is B grade.
It is dangerous for Jung So-hee, who has not yet been able to use her magical powers properly. I said to her as she clutched her weapon with her spleen expression on her face.

“Jeong So-hee, from the rear, I support you with magic. Silver coins stop him with me.”

“…All right.”

Jeong So-hee, who knew that she was not in a position to step out, stepped behind her, and Ryu Eun-hwa took a unique stance.

In the meantime, the Reverse Gate, which has gradually grown in size, is completely opened. The one who came out of the swirling black air current was a woman who seemed to be covered in tar on her dress, no, a female monster.

Her form resembled that of a human woman, but her arms were long enough to reach her knees, and her hands were enlarged.

It was not difficult to guess the reality.
Among the boss monsters of the B-level gate, there was only one female monster, ‘Batory’.

The boss monster of the ‘Blood Palace’ named after the wicked woman who bathed in the blood of a virgin. Bathory dug out his own eyes and became a reverse monster.

“…”

She exchanges signals with Ryu Eun-hwa.
As she looked for an opening in her posture to stop her start, her empty eyes rose to the sky and Bathory’s voice resounded.

-This is it. Where he wants It’s… It’s a bad place.

I stopped her feet and looked at her blackened face. The vampire lord I met at the hidden gate of her battlefield also spoke.

I said maybe.

“Who is he?”

-Ah, hunters. Poor bugs resisting the mighty will. Kiss the instep Sacrifice your insignificant lives meaningfully.

“Aren’t you talking nonsense and answering questions?”

It’s very funny how you talk without even knowing your topic. As I hurriedly lifted up Rusven, my empty eyes looked at the dark red sword body.

-That sword…It’s made from the heart of a kinsman.

You can hear the anger in your voice.
Ruthven is a sword made from the vampire lord’s blood crystal. Annoyed by the way he kept talking nonsense, I snorted and provoked Bathory.

“Looks like you know each other well?”

-…

“Then, give it to someone who is not even as good as that bug. Thanks to your heart, hunting other monsters has become very easy. Oh, including you, of course.”

– On the topic of a worm that is not the same!

Bathory, who couldn’t hold back his anger at the slight provocation, kicked the ground.

The distance narrowed in an instant.
It’s worse than Seol Da-jin or Park Do-gi, but it’s terrifying speed. I barely caught up with Bathory’s speed and swung Ruthven.

Caan!!!

Sparks fly as her nails collide with her sword.
The impact transmitted through the sword was not that great, perhaps because it was specialized in speed. However, the problem was that there was no time to counterattack because it was behind in speed.

-It’s quiet, hunter.

It was at this time that Bathory laughed at her as if she wanted to return the insult she had suffered. A lightning-like blow fell on the boy’s head.

Coo!!

“… Dare to the subject of monsters.”

Ryu Eun-hwa, who wielded dual swords, raised his head from the dust. Bathory, dodging her blow, spread her bat wings and floated in the air.

‘…Flying at that speed.’

It got annoying

-You will die insignificantly.

Furthermore, a vast amount of magic power spreads from Bathory’s fingertips, and a huge magic circle is created under her feet.

Kugu Palace! The black thorns that pierce the ground with the earthquake form a shape like a cage. Eunhwa Ryu and I jumped avoiding those thorns.

However, it was not an easy task to hit the freely flying Bathory.

“You bastard like a fly…”

It was when I got irritated and spat out curse words.
The spear of ice flew in to snip at Bathory. It was the magic of Jung So-hee, who was looking for an opportunity from behind.

Bathory, who was flying leisurely and looking down at us, shattered the ice spear with her fingernail. Ryu Eun-hwa leaped without missing the gap and wielded dual swords.

Bathory, who easily dodged her attack this time, stepped back from her with a cruel smile, and Ryu Eun-hwa’s dual swords were swung once again.

At first glance, it was a meaningless act of cutting through the air, but it was not at all. She only hadn’t used it until now, but she had a skill that allowed her to use ranged attacks as well.

Geosimryu Hyeonwol

– What!?

The enormous magic power thrown from the tip of her sword weighed down Bathory’s body. As she flapped her wings and held on, Ryu Eun-hwa’s Hyunwol was fired at him once again.

Bang!!!

Bathory, who had crashed into dust, tried to raise her body, but her hands froze. Bathory reflexively searched for the person who cast the magic.

Empty eyes caught a woman with one arm of ice outside the dust.

– Cheeky bitch!

Bathory, who forcibly broke the ice that bound her hands, cast her magic at Jeong So-hee. No, I was trying to cast it.

Pooh!!

-Kaak!!

“Look at someone with those eyes.”

Ruthven, who had cast Geosimryu Convergence, pierced Bathory’s abdomen. Then, Eunhwa Ryu’s big river crushes her hand. I asked, pressing her unarmed arm to her foot.

“How is it, how does it feel to suck blood from the people who left first?”

-Like a bug… Kkeok!!

Kwap. As he twisted the sword, a scream of pain resonated like an echo. I once again asked a question that hadn’t been answered before.

“Answer me. Who is the one you said? Are those eyeballs?”

-V…Buriel…Is on this land…

While talking, Bathory’s body fades and dries rapidly. Ruthven was sucking more blood from her than necessary.

When she hurriedly pulled out her sword in embarrassment, Bathory was already as dry as a mummy.

“What is this…”

Is this how it feels to be stabbed in the foot by the ax she believed in? I looked at Rusven with an absurd gaze. Her dark red sword body was stained black.

“West. Did the sword absorb all the blood of the reverse monster?”

“…I didn’t expect this to happen either.”

“I can’t help it. It is fortunate that the loot remains.”

As I took out Bathory’s black magic stone from the corpse of Batory, who had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Jeong So-hee, who had released her demonization, approached and asked:

“Sister, that’s…”

“Black magic stone. It’s a loot you can get from Reverse monsters. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person.”

It was the same with me, who had only gotten loot from the Hidden Gate. After receiving the black mana stone, Jung So-hee and I examined it and carefully put it in our pocket.

“Anyway, I can’t believe it… To catch a B-class reverse monster.”

“It would have been difficult if it wasn’t for Sohee.”

The ice spear she shot created a gap, so Ryu Eun-hwa was able to make Bathory fall with Hyeonwol.

“It is as the West said. It was a wonderful performance. Mr. Sohee.”

When Ryu Eun-hwa also said a word, Jung So-hee’s face turned red. With a hearty smile, I grabbed her soft cheek and stretched it slightly.

“Go, thank you…”

He kisses her on her lips, which are stretched horizontally, and then kisses Ryu Eun-hwa.

“Silver coins are nice too.”

“Thank you. West was great too.”

“What am I It’s all I picked up and ate. Speaking of which, there could be another flying monster like this in the future, so I need to prepare some countermeasures against it.”

“Preparation… Are you talking about it?”

The geosimryu unity was strong, but that was it.
If it didn’t fly like Batory or move fast, it would be useless.

It was said that speed could be increased by increasing agility, but it was unavoidable for flying enemies.

A new skill was needed.

“Kang Dae-woong!!!”

As I was determined to practice, Seol Da-jin landed in front of me with a voice calling me.

“Sister?”

“Hey, are you okay? The reverse gate is…”

“That?”

“…Did you finish it already?”

“You’re a step late, sister. We already ate all the delicious things by ourselves.”

“What. Where did you get hurt more than that?”

It was covered in dust, but there were no injuries.
The same goes for Ryu Eun-hwa and Jung So-hee. When Seol Da-jin, who confirmed our condition, let out a sigh of relief, Jeong Ha-ryun and So Jeong-hye came running a step later.

“Brother!!”

“Honey!”

“…I was worried about you, so we all ran together.”

“Yes, I see.”

Pick, I smiled and greeted her mother and daughter with open arms, when Seol Da-jin, who was looking at her reverse gate, called. Phil must do it for his aunt.

Sure enough, Dajin Seol finished the call and said.

“Hey, we’ll be here, so you go see your mom. Eun-hwa and So-hee also pack their things and go in.”

“Are you okay?”

“I heard you caught the reverse monster? What’s the risk Go ahead. My mother was very worried.”

Nodding my head, I roughly packed the things I brought and returned to the guild house.
