Once I saw the Stone Golem approach Shin Hyuk, I charged at the damage dealers. I knew that they were exhausted after watching them fight. They were barely hanging on with potions.
I rushed at the broadsword wielder to the right, raised my sword over my head, and swung down at his head. The warrior saw me coming and raised his own sword to block my incoming attack.
The blades crashed into each other with a screech of metal. The warrior lost in the battle of strength, and dropped to one knee. He looked over and saw that my blade had managed to break through his defense and slice into his shoulder.
”Fuck! How high is your STR?”
”Who knows? It's not like I'll tell you, though.” I raised my foot and kicked the warrior in this chest. He didn't have a chance to block my attack and rolled back three meters. He must have still had HP leftover and got up right away.
”Damn, this guy's STR is crazy high,” the broadsword warrior muttered to his comrade.
”We'll attack him together.”
”Right.”
The two melee fighters charged at me in tandem, but I wasn't daunted. They were tired from the long battle, and I was still lively.
I glanced at Shin Hyuk who was still blocking the Stone Golem's attacks, and rushed forward to attack the melee fighters first. The broadsword warrior stabbed at my chest, while the greatsword warrior swung at my right shoulder. I was going to let the greatsword slice through my shoulder and focus on the broadsword warrior's attack. It would be easier for me if I took out one of them first, rather than to try to take on both at the same time.
”Mighty Blow!”
”Heart Strike!”
I saw that the Mighty Blow from the greatsword wielder dealt a total of 40,000 health points, but thanks to my already high health, my shoulder wasn't hurt very much.
I blocked the Heart Strike with the broad side of my greatsword. Because of the skill's power, I still managed to lose another 10,000 health points and felt a strong repulsive force from the attack.
”Fuck! His VIT is high, too.”
”My Heart Strike can't find its mark.” The two warriors must have fought together many times as their movements were in complete synch. But no amount of teamwork could ever work against a foe so much stronger than them.
”My turn. Rahh!” I swung my sword at the broadsword warrior's hip with full intent to cut him in half.
”Look out!”
”Shit!”
Despite the greatsword warrior's warning, the broadsword warrior couldn't do anything but watch as the blade of my sword slice cleanly through his body. His body promptly vanished into a cloud of smoke.
”And then there was one.”
”Shit! Who the fuck are you? Why are you doing this?”
”Didn't I just tell you? I'm the Stone Golem's friend, Duck Duck. Don't dismiss our friendship so easily.”
”You…” The greatsword warrior's face turned bright red at my reply. I didn't have all day to joke around, and rushed at him.
”Berserker's Roar! Raaahhh!” The warrior shouted as soon as I got close to him. The shout was so loud that it felt like my eardrums were going to pop.
[You have been afflicted with Fear from Berserker's Roar.]
[Fear prevented by status immunity effect.]
The skill managed to stop me dead in my tracks for a split second, but it only made me swing my sword faster at the warrior.
”Gak!” The blade of my sword stabbed into the warrior's chest. But this guy must have had higher defense than the others, as the blade didn't pierce him. Instead, the force of the blow forced him to roll backwards. His chest wasn't pierced, but it seemed that he still took significant damage when I noticed that his face looked drained.
”Argh! Shit! How could my Berserker's Roar not work? Does that mean you have the Unrivaled skill? If you do, then people should know who you are! Who are you?”
”I'm not telling you. Why don't you find out yourself?” I approached the collapsed warrior, raised my sword above my head and swung it straight down on him. This time, the sword pierced through.
”Once I find…” Before he could finish, his body vanished into a cloud of smoke.
It took me less than three minutes to wipe out the Yung Gong Guild members, excluding Shin Hyuk. I did ambush them and they were exhausted from fighting the Stone Golem, but I felt very satisfied that I took them all out easily.
I turned around to face Shin Hyuk and the Stone Golem. Shin Hyuk had his gaze fixed at me all the while blocking the Stone Golem's attacks. His eyes were filled with rage. If looks could kill, his glare would have inflicted at least 400,000 points of damage on me.
”Who the fuck are you? Argh!” Shin Hyuk bitterly asked me while squeezing his body behind his shield to block the Stone Golem's unceasing attacks.
”I'm Duck Duck!”
”You son of a bitch! Don't fuck with me and tell me who you are! I know you're not a normal deva; you know the Unrivaled skill! Do you have any idea how severe the consequences are of fucking with us? Are you not afraid of the Yung Gong Guild's might!?”
”I am afraid! That's why I'm Duck Duck right now! Oh! Be careful. That attack looks pretty strong.” As if angered by the previous fight, the Stone Golem used another skill on Shin Hyuk. Its Meteor Fist came crashing down on him.
Squeezed behind his shield, Shin Hyuk's body that was being crushed little by little. Shin Hyuk was slowly being buried in the ground.
”I, no, the entire Yung Gong Guild, will find you! We know every single Unrivaled out there! We will find out who you are soon enough. Gah! A merciless vengeance will be waiting for you! Don't think that you'll get out of this easily!” Shin Hyuk spat at me through gritted teeth.
”I know, right? I've come so far. To think that I'm talking to the great Shin Hyuk face to face. But it looks like this conversation is going to be cut short, doesn't it?” Unable to heal or receive heals during the Stone Golem's onslaught, Shin Hyuk was heavily weakened. It showed everywhere on him.
”Well, have a nice trip. I'll be sure to make good use of the dungeon treasure. Oh, that's right. If I get something good from the random chest hmm…what can I do? I'll make good use of that too. But did you know? For some reason, good items do come out in these situations.”
”You son of a bitch! Just you wait! I'll find you and I'll kill you!” Shin Hyuk roared at me so loud that his eyes became bloodshot and his voice became hoarse. I could tell he was really mad.
”Someone once told me that the grass is tastier on the other side. That's not right. Was it greener on the other side? Anyway, thanks for the loot! Oh, before you go, what do you think about someone turning over a new leaf? It's hard, isn't it? A leopard can't change its spots.”
”Shut the fuck up! You piece of shit! Just you wait! I'll find your parents, family, friends, and even your distant relatives and kill them all! I'll make you live through Hell!”
”Oh dear…looks like I need to be careful from now on. But let me say one thing, too. I'll make sure the same happens to you, too.” I brought my face closer to Shin Hyuk's raging face and looked straight at him to tell him what I would do as coolly as possible.
”I'll get my reve…” Before Shin Hyuk could finish, the Stone Golem completely crushed his body, killing him. His body soon vanished in smoke, as well.
