Chapter 18: How Many Tails? (2) (2/2)
“Take the others and run”
Already flustered, Cha Min-Woo quickly answered “LightI-I mean Seo Jun-Ho-nim, what about you?”
Seo Jun-Ho turned around in confusion as he heard the formality “I have to fulfill my inherent duty as a Player”
“Inherent dutyas a Player?”
“Why are you asking? Is there anything else I should do?”
HuntingGates That was the first and last purpose of the Players
Krahhhh!
The Cinder Fox directed its fury at the Player that had blocked its attack
Seo Jun-Ho made a face and muttered to himself
“It’s hot” The air around hiht this last tiuy sure is hot-blooded’[2]
Cha Min-Woo had snapped back to his senses and gathered the others behind the dunes After Seo Jun-Ho saw this, he let out a sone…”
He stared into the raging eyes of the Cinder Fox
“You and me, let’s have some fun”
Guoohhh!
The sand exploded as the Cinder Fox roared But Seo Jun-Ho wasn’t shaken He took a step forward
Wooooosh!+
Dozens of foxfires started to forain above him
“Now that there’s no one here to see…” He could use his Frost skill as much as he wanted
Crackle!
A shi+eld formed before him It was at least twice as thick as before With his ice shi+eld in hand, Seo Jun-Ho rushed forward
Clang! Wooooosh!+
He wasn’t quick enough and foxfire rained on the shi+eld, but Seo Jun-Ho gritted his teeth and ran
‘I have to close the distance for now’
Grahhhhk!
Still, the human did not stop The Cinder Fox opened its est attack, Cinder Fireball, once more to stop hi tiain?’
There was a smallof opportunity whenever a powerful attack was used Seo Jun-Ho wasn’t stupid enough to miss his chance
“Hup!”
As the Cinder Fox released Cinder Fireball froround and over the dunes
‘Even if it’s ic nor his body would be able to take it Knowing this, Seo Jun-Ho lowered his shi+eld and stepped on top of it
Woooosh!+
He rode the shi+eld like a board over the sand dunes
Woooosh!+
The attack grazed over his head
Anyone watching would have felt their heart race froer, but Seo Jun-Ho didn’t even blink
Crash!+
The dune that was hit exploded and dust rained down
Grrr…
The Cinder Fox narrowed its eyes It couldn’t see the human because of the sand
Sniffle
But it could ‘smell’ it
Woooosh!+
The Cinder Fox followed the scent and swiped with its front paw
Swooooshh!
Its claw caught on to so Its eyes quickly turned violent That was because it hadn’t caught a hued out of the dust and leaped into the air, stepping on its nose
The Frost skill sure is nice
As soon as the dust started to kick up, he threw the towel and froze himself Of course, his scent was erased perfectly since he was frozen Fro, the Cinder Fox would only have been able to take the bait
Kyaaak!
He jumped over its enormous body[3]
‘I’m finally here’
As it turned, its nine tails were perfectly in view
The Cinder Fox was a er the more tails it had
Before the previous Specter had died, he had considered the opposite
‘It gets stronger the more tails it has But what if the number of tails decreased?’
Seo Jun-Ho brandished his sword His past self had seen it himself He was sure of the results
Crackle!
The temperature around him dropped The sword in Seo Jun-Ho’s hand radiated a cold energy
Crack!
As the sword and tailceramics The corner of Seo Jun-Ho’s mouth quirked up as he saw the hundreds of ice shards fall before hi each tail one by one…” Thankfully, there was no need to do that anymore “Now all I have to do is to freeze and break them”
Kyaaack!
The Cinder Fox let out a piercing cry as it lost four of its precious tails
