Chapter 164 (2/2)

Even when he had fought the Habaek, he hadn’t felt comfortable using the Lightning Bow because of the tremendous pressure it put on his body.

Woo woo woo-!

A whopping five arrows were attached to the Bow as it crackled with electricity. Yoo-seong aimed it at the crowd.

While he was “charging,” the Grays had already dragged the hunters out of sight, away from the plaza. At the next moment…

Kwaaang-!!

A bolt of lightning struck Yoo-seong.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

It was Yoo-seong, not the Grays, that the thunderclouds had been aiming for.

The task took quite a long time to prepare, even with Auto-Hunt. The Thundercloud efficacy. It was the exact Tech that the Thunder Ape had used.

Yoo-seong pulled back the bowstring, and, with a roar that resonated throughout the whole area, five bolts of lightning flew from his hands.

Kwa-ang!!!

As they sliced through the air, the arrows were crushed by the intense pressure and lost more than half their length.

Even so, it was enough.

This was because they weren’t really arrows but bombs.

The lightning bolts were aimed at the dangerous beasts. After they hit the ground…

Kwagaaang-!

Nothing remained but a massive hole in the ground with thin wisps of smoke rising from it.

In the place where creatures had once been, only wreckage remained.

-…….!

-…….!

Yoo-seong couldn’t hear or decipher the Grays’ cries, but the fear was obvious on their uncanny faces.

Their little mouths were open, shrieking soundless screams. In the meantime…

Kwa-aang!!!

Five more lightning bolts flew at them.

Just then, the monster appeared.

Arkotodon-★★★★★★★

It was a seven-star behemoth with impenetrable armor.

A Gray manipulated it to block the incoming danger, using its massive frame as a barrier. However, it was a useless effort.

Kwagaaang-!

The Arkotodon’s body exploded upon the bolt’s impact, and the Grays hiding behind it were wiped out.

-………!

Kwaang!!!

Yoo-seong shot his arrows continuously; the noise of his bombardment filled the whole space.

Another flash of lightning erupted as soon as the glare of the previous volley subsided. It was a pitiful situation for the Grays. The monsters they had under control each had a role in a very tightly-woven system.

For example, the Arkotodon served as their tank at the frontlines, working as a barrier for the rear.

They also had NitroBats under their control. These were parasitic creatures with a radar-like ability, perfect for scouting and tracking functions.

Perhaps, in a real battle against a human army, humanity wouldn’t stand a chance against the Grays’ tactics.

However, what they were facing now was an enemy that wasn’t interested in tactical warfare. Just pure, unadulterated destruction.

Kwaaang!!

If it was any consolation, the Grays didn’t feel any pain. It took only an instant for them to turn into ashes as bolt upon bolt of lightning struck the ground.

Meanwhile, for Yoo-seong, lightning continuously struck him as he loaded his Bow. He felt a burning sensation of pain every time, but despite it, he did not lose consciousness.

Yoo-seong was a little surprised at himself. Auto-Hunt had made him thirty arrows, and with five arrows at every volley, it meant that he had been struck with lightning six consecutive times.

Before his eyes was a scene of destruction such as he had never seen before.

The result might even have been worse than what Nashville was suffering outside with the US Military bombing.

‘This power…’

If he reached the point where he could use this power against fellow humans…

‘No!’ Yoo-seong shook the terrible, subconscious thought out of his head.

He was shocked at himself that he had even thought of it. However, the fact that his unconscious had suggested it… perhaps the possibility of such a chance existed.

Yoo-seong’s principle was never to kill people.

However, in this terrible world, he didn’t know what circumstances he might be placed in.

‘But I hope it won’t happen,’ he thought.

It was what he wished for, deep in his heart.

However, he couldn’t control the actions of the people he encountered.

Go-oh-oh-!

A Blade appeared on Yoo-seong’s arm. It was now time to finish off those who had survived the bombardment.

Just as he leaped off to hunt them one by one…

-Stop!

A pitiful voice rang in his head.

-Please stop…
