Chapter 31 - Joint Operation (4) (2/2)
The Phoenix spun once in the air and charged at the Craig.
Kuung!
The Craig’s body exploded in flames!
The Phoenix escaped the explosion and soared to the sky. Meanwhile, Il-hyun used his Transformation ability.
Dozens of thorns formed and stabbed Craig from all directions, even from the bottom of his feet.
The Craig lost its balance as one of its feet was wounded severely, then the Phoenix dived in on its head as it fell.
Quaang!
Once again, there was a violent explosion and flame, and the shock brought the Craig to its knees.
Wow!
The Craig spat while it knelt.
It took a lot of damage, but it was still not enough to knock it down.
The remaining worms crawled over it and clung all over its body, biting it with their huge mouths.
The Craig’s blood was spurting from its wounds, but it was still able to catch a worm and crush it powerfully.
Even if Il-hyun has already used a great deal of ability, the B-rank ace monster wasn’t easy to shut down.
Il-hyun had to make his finishing move now.
The soaring Phoenix dived in once more, and the Craig’s arms rose to defend itself, while worms still hung from its bleeding body.
Quaang!
The Phoenix’s flame bounced off the monster’s huge arms.
However, the Craig didn’t see what was coming.
Il-hyun was wielding his sword at the back of the translucent hawk.
He summoned the hawk quickly and jumped on its back in one swift motion.
“Now!”
He managed to give a mighty swing while keeping his balance on the hawk’s back
With a cracking sound, two-thirds of the Craig’s neck was chopped off.
Keeeek!
The head slowly rolled off to the side, and the huge, headless Craig remained kneeling for a few moments, before crashing to the ground with a thud.
“Hoo!”
Il-hyun quickly turned off the worms.
The worms disintegrated into asphalt and cement from which their bodies are formed.
They have been using up a lot of mana because of their size and numbers.
Il-hyun exhaled heavily as he looked down at his blood-stained AT sword.
It was made of ether core and dealt devastating damage.
Suddenly, Il-hyun felt something approaching, and he turned around quickly.
-Be careful; there are…
Even before Lee Soo-yeon’s voice speaking over the communicator finished, there was a large explosion.
Wajangchan!
The mall building next to Il-hyun came crashing, and from the dust and smoke, Il-hyun saw figures emerging.
Il-hyun stepped back.
“What – three of them?” he said, surprised.
He had grown rapidly over the past and is now able to defeat B-ranked monsters, but three at the same time…
In his current fatigued condition…
It does not look good for him.
The three Craigs screamed ferociously as they saw Il-hyun.
Il-hyun quickly tried to summon the hawk to escape; however, he heard Ghost over the communicator.
– Hyung, the spears are flying over there. Don’t get hit.
“What are you talking about…”, he responded, confused.
Qawah!
Suddenly, a huge spear loudly came flying in and penetrated a Craig’s head.
The Craig’s head was cracked open, and it crashed to the ground.
The two other Craigs looked dumbfounded and struggled to look around, trying to find out where the spear came from.
Not even Il-hyun knew.
Kwah! Bang!
Spears continued flying in with tremendous power, and the two other Craigs were sorted out in an instant.
One had been hit in the head twice.
Il-hyun approached the corpses curiously and picked up one of the spears.
These spears are so huge that they could almost be siege weapons.
Moreover, they are treated with high-ranked ether core.
These are definitely too costly.
If anyone had enough money to purchase these, it was surely Aegis.
