Chapter 78 (2/2)
Filled with black magic was enough for Dullahan to be called as the leader of the armored soldiers.
Clang—!
The armored soldiers came down under the deck and made a large circle around Su-hyeun and Dullahan.
Su-hyeun looked around at those armored soldiers and said, “I guess your head’s not totally empty.”
Dullahan’s ability was that he could share vision with his soldiers. In other words, he could see Su-hyeun’s movement from all directions. It was a pretty big advantage in a one-on-one fight. That was why Dullahan moved before all the soldiers were killed by Su-hyeun. He wanted to take Su-hyeun’s energy as much as possible, but that plan had failed.
[Do not trample the honor of the knight!]
Dullahan rushed toward Su-hyeun as if he felt offended by his words. Due to Dullahan’s size, the movement was almost impossible to believe Even though the inside of the armor was empty, the armor itself was several times heavier than the weight of a normal adult man. But his speed was incredible despite that weight.
Whizz—!
Clang—!
Of course, the destructive power was not something negligible. Su-hyeun stepped back as he saw the floor cut off by Dullahan’s sword. Dullahan quickly checked where Su-hyeun moved and immediately followed.
Whizz—!
Clank—!
Dullahan’s sword backed off and hit Su-hyeun, who jumped. He was certainly strong. Moreover, the black magic that spouted from the armor doubled his power. His swordsmanship and posture were also flawless. He had said that he was a knight when he was alive. It seemed like he was a pretty good one. But…
“Is there anything else you’re good at?”
Crack, crack—!
[The Transfiguration Skill: Imoogi.]
The scales of Imoogi started to grow on Su-hyeun’s body. As skill proficiency increased, so did the range of the scales. Now they covered his entire arm, below his neck.
“I’m good at that, too,” Su-hyeun said.
[What?]
Whizz—!
Su-hyeun stretched out his arm. Dullahan, who had hesitated a little, rushed to Su-hyeun. The iron armor was huge and had massive force. As Su-hyeun had said, Dullahan was confident in his power. Not only in physical size but also the magic that amplified his power. So to him, there was no reason to avoid Su-hyeun’ sword.
Clank—!
Su-hyeun’s small, shabby sword and Dullahan’s big sword hit each other. And at that moment…
Boom—!
Dullahan’s heavy armor bounced back, then fell on the empty armored soldiers, crushing them.
[What…the…]
He could not understand what had just happened. He could not believe that he was pushed out by the power. The armored soldiers hurriedly pulled him up.
Thump, thump—!
Su-hyeun walked toward Dullahan. Dullahan raised his sword again, thinking that what had just happened was impossible.
“That sword is pretty hard,” Su-hyeun said.
Swish—!
Again, Su-hyeun swung his sword at Dullahan.
Clang—!
Whirl, whirl, whirl—!
Unlike before, Dullahan did not bounce off. He stiffened his legs and endured. He thought that if he lost strength, there would be no way he could win. But that judgment was rather a factor to accelerate defeat.
Crack, crack—!
Clang—!
Dullahan’s sword broke into pieces. And those pieces flew everywhere. Dullahan stepped back reflexively. Su-hyeun did not miss.
Slash—
Clank—
Dullahan’s vision slowly tilted and fell to the side. He was sure he did not move. He was in wonder and checked himself through the shared vision of another armored soldier. Then he looked down at his legs.
[Uh…?]
Bam—!
His legs were cut. Since he could not feel the pain, he even did not realize it. He had not seen it through the vision of his soldiers. Hundreds of eyes could not follow the sword of Su-hyeun.
“Not even a million eyes can allow you to see the invisible,” Su-hyeun said.
He pointed to the head in Dullahan’s hand with the tip of his sword.
[N-no…]
“If you took it for granted to kill someone.”
Stab—!
“You, too, take death for granted.”
Whoosh, whoosh—!
Boom—!
The fire of Flame skill burst in Dullahan’s helmet and destroyed the magic circle that held his soul.
Rattle—!
Boom—!
Dullahan’s body finally fell. Su-hyeun looked around at the remaining armored soldiers. The subordinates who lost their head looked like they also lost their fighting spirit.
“It was too easy,” Su-hyeun thought.
It was much more difficult than the yellow-colored dungeon. But still, it was too easy compared to the discomfort he had felt when he entered the dungeon.
“Something still remains. Something I missed. Maybe…” Su-hyeun thought.
He raised his head and looked up. Through the broken deck, he could see the sea. Su-hyeun narrowed his eyes. He saw something far off. And it was getting closer.
