Chapter 218: Hope (3)
The elite were selected. The Awakened that were praised as the world’s best.
They were raised as secret weapons...
They knew how to fight.
The Awakened also knew how to fight against someone stronger than themselves.
They would be able to endure in any situation in order to produce the best results.
They were people designed to survive in even the most adverse conditions.
Thanks to that, they didn’t know defeat and only felt pride in their abilities.
There were no opponents that they couldn’t overcome over time, just like water eroding a rock.
However, that was all wishful thinking in front of this opponent.
Not rock, but harder than steel...they were facing a wall that they couldn’t surpass.
“Cough!”
Death spread. There were those who couldn’t even make a sound before dying. The thing they all had in common was that they ran towards the man with a weapon.
The man was cruel. He really shed no blood or tears!
He showed no mercy. One move would take a life. He didn’t miss a single one of their movements. Still, he didn’t show any reaction. His expression was just like he was ‘playing with them.’
”Pharma's Arrows!”
There were only three people with weapons raised remaining.
A female with the occupation of archer used a skill. All of the magic power in the surroundings gathered on the arrowhead. It burned violently and intensely.
”Accurate Shot!”
A unique skill that anticipated the movements of the enemy.
Soon, the arrow went flying through the air.
Hwaruruk!
However, that was also useless.
The arrow was burned by a strong flame before even reaching the man’s body.
”......!”
The Awakened with the bow widened her eyes. It was the first time that this technique had been blocked. However, that panic only lasted for a short moment. She quickly calmed her mind and prepared for the next attack.
No, she tried to prepare.
She placed her hand on the bow. It was the last thing she remembered.
Kwaduk!
Mysterious lightning popped out from the man. The lightning in the form of a dragon swallowed the woman and instantly turned her to ashes. It looked like a dragon eating it prey.
“Stop...! Stop now!”
Yoo Eun-hye shouted. Five people had died in only one minute. If she didn’t do anything, then the surviving members would die. She couldn’t help but realize that.
The man turned his head towards her. He looked interested.
“They are trying to kill me. What reason do I have to stop?”
”It isn’t fair!”
”Why does fairness need to be involved in killing?”
His words were correct.
In the current world, there was little room for fairness when it came to death.
Those who thought about fairness would be buried in the ground.
The good died quickly and the wicked survived.
In this sense, Yoo Eun-hye was one of the few people remaining with a conscience.
”Isn’t it too cruel that one mistake could cost them their lives? You have the capacity to show generosity.”
Yoo Eun-hye admitted it.
He was the captain of Devil Hunters and the Saviour...along with the fact that he was a demon.
The team members couldn’t understand his skill. He sometimes showed signs of some moves that he used in the past. Thus, she couldn’t escape the reality.
Yoo Eun-hye rose from her spot. Armed with a steel mentality, she was determined to reduce the damage as much as possible. The past was the past. In a world where every minute and second counted, there wasn’t much room to dwell in the past.
“If I show generosity then what will you give me?”
An exchange.
Yoo Eun-hye inwardly thought.
He would do what he wanted to anyway.
No one here could stop him. It was impossible, even if Edward and Yoo Eun-hye joined together. She didn’t know if they could grab his collar.
The strong had rights.
However, he didn’t use those rights.
This was a chance...
She held onto the desire to save her team members.
”I'll give you this piece. I obtained it through the training room.”
When he was the Saviour, he gave Yoo Eun-hye a ticket to enter the training room before he left. She was able to obtain an object from that room.
Edward was the same. Just in case, she handed over both pieces to him.
He politely received the pieces. His expression didn’t change.
”This is something I let you hold for a while. It does not count as an exchange.”
