Chapter 209 (1/2)
***
Half a day—that was how much time Su-hyeun took to attack the green cave-type dungeon and enter the room where the mother of the bugs was.
Kiyaaaaa—!
The boss was a giant stag beetle. It cried out, opening its giant mouth. Around it, dozens of small winged stag beetles flew around. Of course, “small” meant only in the relative perspective. The giant boss was tens of meters, and dozens of other beetles were about five meters long at least.
“Ugh…”
“Isn’t this too gross to go out to live broadcast?”
“God…There are so many!”
One of the common features of insect-type monsters was there were always numerous monsters gathered around the boss, the mother who laid eggs.
Thanks to Miru’s protection and Su-hyeun’s Provocation skill, the reporters had been following him without any risk. However, there were too many monsters at the moment, and that would increase the chance of an accident.
“Uh?”
“Is he using a spear? Not the sword?”
“Oh, he is finally using the spear!”
Su-hyeun’s main weapon was the sword, and the spear was a secondary weapon. In several of his previous interviews, Su-hyeun’s use of spears as weapons to assist him had been revealed. Also, through Hak-joon, people got to know how strong the spears were. And for the first time in this raid, Su-hyeun brought out his spear.
[Provocation]
[Dragon Slaying Spear]
Kiyaaaa—!
When the stag beetle monsters came at Su-hyeun at once, they were caught by the wide-range Provocation skill as Su-hyeun threw the spear at them.
[Wave Spear – Explosion Style]
Crack, crack—!
Crunch—! Boom, boom—!
The spear scattered to tens of thousands of pieces. The rain shower of spears with enormous magic power tore apart the bodies of stag beetle monsters. The attack swept all around in the cave. More than a hundred stag beetle monsters were torn and fell to the ground in an instant.
Boom, boom—!
Kiyaaaaa—!
Naturally, the mother who lost her children became furious. The giant stag beetle, reaching several tens of meters in length, roared. It was too loud that it even shook the cave. But the reporters who were watching the fight were not scared. Instead, they were all surprised.
“He killed all of them at once…?”
“Everyone, did you see that? This is Kim Su-hyeun! He is the best awakener in Korea and the strongest in the world—”
“It is incredible! I have been broadcasting the dungeon raids many, many times… But I can’t believe what is happening now!”
The people who relayed from the spot had either of two reactions: they lost their words and gaped at the scene, or they raised their voices in excitement.
“Finally, Mr. Kim Su-hyeun is moving to catch the boss.”
Su-hyeun moved slowly, very slowly, so that way everyone could see.
Rumble—
The enormous magical power that came from Su-hyeun’s body filled the cave. Some reporters even forgot that they were working and just tensely stared at him.
Kiyaaaaa—!
The mother stag beetle rushed toward Su-hyeun, crying out of fear and anger. Su-hyeun immediately raised his sword and tried to cut it down.
Whoosh—
“It’s done!”
“I have to zoom in and catch the moment Kim Su-hyeun cut the head of the boss…”
When the reporters’ cameras turned to shoot Su-hyeun’s sword—
Clang—!
“…?”
“What?”
…something they weren’t expecting happened.
Crack—!
The mother stag beetle’s horn stabbed the ground, and Su-hyeun hurriedly jumped up and stared at his sword with a surprised look.
Chink, chink—
The broken pieces of sword fell to the ground. The reporters, who were attentively watching the situation unfold, hurriedly looked for broken fragments of the sword and turned their cameras.
“The sword is broken!”
“It’s an emergency situation! The sword that Mr. Kim Su-hyeun was using was Geneva’s sword—”
“How will Mr. Su-hyeun react? The sword is broken—”
At that moment, a heavy sound came.
Wham—!
Crack, crack—
Then, the massive body of the boss that was stuck and buried on the ground trembled.
“W—what the… He is beating up the monster with his bare hands!”
Is this possible? Kim Su-hyeun can even catch the boss of the green dungeon without any weapon?
Su-hyeun had thrown away the broken sword and just used his fists.
Crack, crack—
Boom, boom, boom—!
Every time he swung his fists, the hard shell of the boss broke. The reporters’ jaws dropped in their astonishment. They even forgot about their cameras. They could not believe that they were seeing the swordsman knocking down the boss with bare hands.
“It looks like…” There was only one person who wasn’t taken by surprise. “Su-hyeun broke the sword on purpose.”
Hak-joon looked at the sword on the ground instead of Su-hyeun.

Wham—!
“What the hell is happening?”
