Chapter 57 - Staggered (6) (1/2)

Staggered (6)

A colossal torso rose out from the ground.

Inside its large round mouth, hundreds of sharp teeth were layered endlessly.

A loud cry rang, and a worm of substantial body tilted over the length of several tens of meters.

The monsters hurriedly pulled themselves out of the incoming worm that devoured all the destroyed debris.

The swift movement of the monster avoided the worm’s mouth, and the worm swallowed the surroundings it would reach, and then dug into the ground.

The ground shook as the worm moved underneath.

Il-Hyun rushed to the monster that escaped.

Caen!

The sword hit it.

This time, Il-Hyun put all his weight on the monster and pressed it—the monster’s feet dipped down.

Both of their arms trembled.

Although he couldn’t overwhelm it, this was a completely different aspect.

Il-Hyun changed his posture, twisting his ankle as he stabbed the sword.

The monster jumped out of its place using its tail to avoid the sword and attack at the same time.

However, it quickly became a target of numerous thorns rising from the floor.

It was the exact same shape as the thorn that the monster was cutting down a while ago, but it wasn’t the same.

Even if one rope is made by transforming the same object, the intensity differs greatly depending on the ability of the user.

And this time, it was the transformation ability used by Il-Hyun, who absorbed the core of the A-rank ace monster, Chaser, and temporarily had a flow of a massive amount of Ether in his body.

The white monster, that instinctively thought that it wouldn’t be able to beat him easily, pulled itself out by putting a tail in the wall of the next building.

In the air that was unprotected, it quickly changed positions.

After sticking like that, the guy stuck to the wall with its four feet and quickly moved around.

The tail pulled out of the wall had been poked toward Il-Hyun again.

Il-Hyun lifted the sword—he lightly slashed a powerful attack, and then grabbed the tail.

His hand got cut from the tail like a blade, but he grabbed it more strongly.

Kwajik!

The guy’s tail was squished without a hitch.

The tail is much harder than Chaser’s notorious arms, and its tail still got broken.

Obviously, the white monster had never absorbed that kind of impact, thought it would not break—it was frightened and tried to take off.

However, Il-Hyun’s actions were faster.

In an instant, Il-Hyun hit the tail with a sword.

Caen!

The tail of the guy weakened as the transformation ability was cut off.

Blood spilled, and most of the length of it fell off.

The tail of the guy became noticeably shorter.

The blade was still a dazzling threat, but not as threatening as it was before it was cut.

The monster looked unbelievingly at its tail.

However, the speed of the battle is very fast, which is different from normal Awakeners and monsters.

Even as a monster, there was no time to be surprised by the world.

Bang!

The floor moved when Il-Hyun rolled his feet and leapt vigorously.

He stepped in the air from a wall protruding from the building and wielded the sword while turning it like a wheel.

Again, he made a shallow wound and blood splattered on the concrete wall.

Instead of being injured, the monster shook its arm and fired a mighty sword, approaching Il-Hyun in a difficult moment.

But a wolf jumping high enough between them intervened—it stopped the monster at once.

Instead of being safe, Il-Hyun was struck by an arm sword, and the powerful attack caused a large wound to his body.

The fragments of the wolf’s body splattered as if a piece of rock broke.

It wasn’t just simply cut, as if it were an ordinary creature, it was a level of wound that wouldn’t be strange if it died immediately.

However, the wolf didn’t show any signs of dying and was strong, and even the wound disappeared quickly.

A fragment of the gray wolf’s torn body had been immediately broken off. It then grew and regained its original shape.

If the damage is over a certain amount, the Summoners get canceled and disappears—but the wolf was fine.

Like other Summoners, the wolf has acquired and absorbed a core of a mutated monster over the past three weeks.

And as a result, it now has two special abilities.

It was an awe-inspiring regeneration and defense.

It was because of the fact that the body that was cut off by the sword was splintered, it was not flesh that spattered.

The surface of the wolf hardened as if it were an armor, and had strong defenses.

It was indeed the Summoners who absorbed the monster’s core.

The wolf that prevented the attack burned a string in the air and made the streets open—a chain of wolves reached out to the monster.

Quaddeuk!

The roadside trees that had fallen on the road started to rise up one by one, and they grew at a tremendous speed.

They ended being overgrown.

Plants that grew in an instant stretched out the stems that are still increasing one by one to catch the white monster, and they were facing the bloated body to cover it up.

It struggled to avoid them, but it couldn’t get out of the plants that clung with significant momentum.

Then, the worm appeared again.

Quaang!

As if an explosion had occurred, a worm spattered from all sides and popped off the floor, swallowing one of its legs and digging into the ground again.

Even if it was a little too late, it would’ve been swallowed.

The guy on the ground stared at Il-Hyun.

Even with only one leg left, it stood without any problems in balancing, and it used the tail to do other movements naturally.

Eeeek!

The white monster with the severed leg emitted a weird sound.

Then, Il-Hyun sent a considerable number of thorns from all directions.

The plants were cut off, and on one side, the Summoners passed by.

It was similar to Chaser’s behavioral pattern because it wasn’t a mutant monster based on that.

Il-Hyun barely avoided the buildings with the outer walls popping out.

Then, he watched the raging monster.

It jumped out with more power than before, and it seemed unusual.

To stop the damage caused by the indiscriminate sword, it was necessary to quickly suppress it.

The flames that Gumiho made around Il-Hyun sent a shot to the guy.

At the same time, Il-Hyun touched the ground, and under the feet of the monster, many sturgeons appeared through and rushed at once.

But it was all useless.
