Chapter 42 - No Time (2) (2/2)
Il-hyun stretched out his arms.
Even if he didn’t say anything, he knew he was a smart guy who planned ahead of what he would do, but it turned out to be a problem because he felt like he was the big guy getting stuck inside this monster.
There’s also one ability that he hardly ever done, and it was a little different from what the other summoners usually do—you need to do it with more care.
—Hey! Are you alive?
Ghost’s asked his voice came through the communicator.
“Yes, I’m alive.”
—You’re lucky. It’s almost over.
This time, the voice he heard was from Lee Soo-yeon, who was dealt with all the dogs that came out from the monster, and monsters alone.
Their voices were so calm he didn’t even notice that they’re still fighting.
—By chance, be careful not to get caught inside its body. It can be annoying.
“Were you caught a long time ago?” Il-hyun smiled at what Lee Soo-yeon said. There were hundreds of monsters that came into Togg’s stomach. They made eye contact with Il-hyun.
—No. I haven’t been able to speak to you earlier because of all the fighting. But you might not notice that you have been walking around that monster’s stomach for a while now.
Ill-hyun felt chilly as he worked his way inside Togg’s dimming body.
Just as people don’t know if their red blood cells are working, Togg’s body’s monsters were the same.
“Don’t worry. I understand.”
Il-hyun jumped over the rock.
Another spacious room appeared, and monsters in the form of people with pointed ears were being made.
If it wasn’t a rock, Il-hyun would’ve mistaken it for humans instead of monsters.
Il-hyun gracefully, once more, lifted his sword from his waist.
“I’m almost there,”
When he stood there, he felt the strong swell of the Ether’sEther’s energy.
It was clear that the core existed between two or three front walls.
Il-hyun smashed the monsters rushed toward him. He then ran forward.
He fought various monsters in each room before he reached the front of his destination.
However, no further passages were visible.
Because the core is like the monster’s own life—it was protected and blocked by a thick wall.
Bang!
Il-hyun slashed his sword on the wall as hard as possible, but the wall didn’t acquire much damage.
“This is going to take some time……” Il-hyun murmured which reaching his sword to an incoming monster.
He used the function of transformation, but the core was in front of his nose, so it didn’t work.
Il-hyun, who was expecting that much, sought another way.
If you can’t change the look, it weakens the intensity.
Awesome! He thought.
The slashed that Il-hyun made on the wall were starting to crack.
He used it the way he did with a B-ranked monster in Russia.
It took a lot more power than before, but it had no problem with weakening it.
Kugu Goong!
Suddenly, Togg’s body was shaking.
Il-hyun’s body was trembling, too!
—Togg stopped spitting monsters. Come out quickly!
Seok Pil-jun urgently said as he was dealing with monsters outside.
Even though the monster was numb toward the rest of the world—when Il-hyun touched the heart, Togg noticed immediately.
Thump!
Il-hyun heard the sound of all kinds of monsters—they’re coming together in one place.
The monsters Togg created formed a defense inside his body.
When Il-hyun feels the threat of life, he makes himself a monster to defend himself. And the more he feels threatened, the more he’d want to end a life.
Like a tsunami, a huge number of monsters were making their way toward where he was.
“Damn it!”
Il-hyun lashed his blade on the wall.
If he isn’t able to breach it, then he can’t move from where he is—he’d surely die.
The cracks gradually grew on the thick layer. Monsters swarmed and flocked like zombies from across the passage.
“Erai!” Il-hyun held his power as he swung the sword forward.
Quang!
The wall shattered, and a bright, white ray burst out from the inside.
A core full of strong EtherEther floated at the center.
Il-hyun thinks it’s so beautiful to look at.
But he couldn’t afford to appreciate it right now, and he quickly reached out toward the core.
“Ugh……!”
The core cracked, and a huge amount of EtherEther flowed into his body.
It was the first A-rank monster he absorbed, and to think that it was also a giant monster. It contained a huge amount of Ether output.
Il-hyun felt overwhelmed in eating it all on his own.
“It’s dangerous……” Il-hyun muttered while frowning. He felt anxious about it.
There was no spirit to look back, but he felt the monsters approaching at a fast speed, even without it.
It’s like being beaten by men, but it’s a huge number compared to his feeling.
The EtherEther in the core was still more than it.
Phoenix interrupted him and pushed on the side.
While being pushed to the side, Il-hyun suddenly looked at the Phoenix as if he didn’t know what was happening, but soon, his eyes widened in surprise.
The EtherEther that remained in the core after Il-hyun absorbed it flowed into Phoenix’s body.
The white ray of light was absorbed in an instant.
Clink!
The core is completely broken.
Wow!
With the Togg’s low screams, all the monsters approaching halted in action, their lifeless bodies rolling on the floor.
Whether he ate something delicious or resembled his owner’s face, the Phoenix looked shocked, its mouth slightly pushed back.
