Chapter 194

The tension shot up the moment Lee Hui-seung appeared .

“Prepare for battle!”

Prepare for battle!

Lee Hui-seung’s shout was passed on through the hunters’ mouth .

The hunters stomped their feet like a beat . There was battle spirit burning within their eyes .

It looked like all of the people here would fight to the death with a single command of his .

It wasn’t just him though .

“I, I need a sword . ”

Edward said . His breath was rougher than usual .

I checked Son Aram’s state just in case . She was the same .

“Are you alright?”

“Me? I’m always fine . ”

She said so with a big smile . I felt that it was good for now .

Looking around, it seemed the only normal people were Soo-ah and I .

She continued her words .

“But is this something like mind control?”

“There’s nothing confirmed but it’s probably a wide area skill no?”

I didn’t know what it was but it was a technique that affected over a thousand people . This was impossible unless it was a level 10 skill . There was no doubt that it was a technique used by Lee Hui-seung .

I was wondering why only we were okay when .

A message appeared through the manual .

– Lee Hui-seung’s ‘Battle Cry’ skill collides with the user’s ‘Effort’ skill . It cannot show its effect .

So it was because of this .

It seems the level 0 skill interferes with Lee Hui-seung’s wide area skill .

After somewhat getting a grasp of the situation, I checked Son Aram’s state through the manual . She was shouting and stomping her foot like the other hunters .

It was a sight that couldn’t be imagined from the normal her .

Name : Son Aram

State : ‘Battle Cry’ is under effect . Excessive adrenaline is being produced . In a state of excitement . Pain is reduced by 50% . Damage taken is increased by 10% . Damage increases by 20% . The buff will disappear after an hour . Negative effects will continue for a day .

“Get yourself together for a bit . ”

I approached her and patted her cheek after taking the sword .

She collected her breath and opened her mouth .

“I’ve shown you an unsightly figure . ”

It seemed to be quite difficult to calm down seeing her fingertips tremble .

“Please stand by in the van for now . I don’t think it would be a good idea to participate in this battle . ”

“However, I can also fight…… Ah, it’s nothing . I will do as you say . ”

She could still understand my commands . Looking at how she entered battle mode, it was certain that it wasn’t the normal her . I shoved her, who was still showing regret while glaring at the enemies, into the van .

She opened her mouth as if she had suddenly come to her senses .

“My head is finally clear now . Haah…… . ”

“May I ask what had happened?”

“It felt like my entire body was burning up . It felt like I would be able to endure if I didn’t immediately draw a sword and cut down the enemies…… However, I can’t feel that in here . ”

“I see . ”

Edward was also dragged here by Soo-ah and thrown into the van .

“Stand by in here for now . ”

“What about seonbae oppa?”

“I will leave after confirming that person’s abilities . ”

I came here to meet Lee Hui-seung . And he actually appeared . There was normally not much good luck . I was planning on approaching the distance where I could check his skills and items through the manual .

Even with that information I could calculate his battle power .

I would be able to determine victory or loss without actually fighting him .

I went out after leaving the three in the van for now .

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The raid teams including Strawberry Box were shouting while banging the ground with their weapons .

The way they moved as one made me think of the Recruitment skill .

Baek Gyeong didn’t appear in the enemy base yet .

It seemed like it would take longer than expected .

I slipped between hunters to approach Lee Hui-seung .

He was currently standing on a large truck used as the command center . The crimson armor he wore all over his body caught one’s eye .

The helmet that was half open closed up . After completely covering his face, he waved his hand forward .

Crimson flags moved from various places in the base . Soon, a rough voice came out after a siren like noise from the large truck Lee Hui-seung was on rang out .

[Charge forward!]

“Ahhh!”

The hunters started charging forward .

It even made my chest burn up as well . However, that was nothing compared to the other hunters that were already in a trance .

“Move aside!”

“Kill them all!”

Only I was going against the flow of the hunters . The wave of hunters bumped into me while swearing . I quickly slipped between the hunters and got closer to Lee Hui-seung .

I had to get to about 10 meters to be able to see the opponent’s skills and items .

This wasn’t a fixed number though . When checking those that weren’t humans such as monsters, there were times when it worked from a distance of 50~100 meters but this was usually when the monster had a huge figure .

That’s why, it could seen that the scanning range was proportional to the size of the entity .

Also, Lee Hui-seung wasn’t any different in size compared to a normal human .

That meant that I had to approach his truck as much as possible .

My speed dropped as I was trying not to bump into the hunters and to not be found out by Lee Hui-seung .

In that time, hundreds of arrows poured down from the air .

China’s side had started counterattacking .

An arrow that possessed explosive power brushed by the rim of my ear . As the arrow exploded the moment it hit the ground, a hunter got blown back by the explosion .

Most long range weapons were bows or crossbows .

It wasn’t possible to do much damage to fully equipped hunters with modern weapons, but they could be effective against the backline hunters .

However, the moment it’s used, both sides knew that it would turn into a battle of annihilation .

A war where one didn’t do their best . A limited warfare instead of an all out war . Also, it was a situation where a battle occurred between hunters .

However, this was still a war where both sides put their life on the line .

They were holding cold weapons that would only be seen in the Middle Ages, but it didn’t change the fact that they were out to kill each other .

Even during this bloody battle, I was still chasing after Lee Hui-seung .

He was commanding not from the front but the back of the formation .

The top of the truck was a good place to look down on the battlefield and a relatively safe location from the enemy’s sniping .

However, he couldn’t let his guard down . Hunters had the ability to snipe from an extremely far distance after all .

Like that .

A projectile the thickness of an arm flew towards Lee Hui-seung . This wasn’t an arrow but a weapon that would only be used in a siege .

Even if he had level 10 armor, it couldn’t be helped that such a weapon would have an effect . However, he continued observing the battle situation as if he didn’t notice it .

It was too late for me to even shout . The projectile will reach before the sound reaches my neck .

The moment I thought the projectile bulls eyed Lee Hui-seung .

The large projectile made of metal instantly exploded and sent debris scattering .

My entire body stiffened .

I didn’t see it .

How he moved . What method he used to destroy the projectile with massive amount of energy in it, I couldn’t even guess .

This was far more overwhelming compared to when I first saw the Hadron Cannon .

The projectile came a few more times after that . However, all those attempts were futile and they started aiming for him less and less . They had realized belatedly that they couldn’t injure him with ranged attacks .

The situation was advantageous for our allies .

Despite the disadvantage of fewer numbers, we were pushing the Chinese hunters with overwhelming power . It was completely different from what happened in the forest region .

Our allies had the upper hand in every way .

Attack . Defense . Agility, it wasn’t just about those basic things .

The ability of each hunter in performing their duties .

Movement that made up for the weakness of each position .

Agile movement that filled up empty positions .

All of these were being done by hunters that were working together for the first time .

It was as if they had been working together before .

This wasn’t a problem of experience at this point .

Someone was moving the entire army .

Also, there was only one person that could do that besides me .

– Lee Hui-seung’s ‘Strategy’ skill collides with the user’s ‘Recruitment’ skill . It cannot show its effect .

Lee Hui-seung’s second wide area skill .

However, I felt like that wasn’t all . How many skills were in this man’s body, I couldn’t know until I saw it personally .

I approached while getting rid of my presence as much as possible .

And finally, I was able to succeed in reaching the large command truck .

I held my head up to look at Lee Hui-seung .

And I realized that he was looking at me as well .

Between the hunters that were moving randomly .

He knew exactly that I was approaching .

The number of ally hunters was in the tens of thousands . With the items they possessed and the skills they used, no matter how sharp my perception was, it would have been impossible to feel my presence .

[Why are you moving as you want?]

A voice rang in my head like an illusion . I determined that it was Lee Hui-seung in an instant, and realized how he was able to find me .

This guy was looking at a map as well .

It was probably not a manual .

However, it was certain that the movement of hunters was created through the Strategy skill . It would have been impossible to find me if not for that .

He opened his mouth once more .

[Seeing how you’re not listening to Strategy, it seems you’re an irregular . ]

Irregular?

That’s what we say about monsters .

The moment I was pondering, my concentration was lost .

His figure that was in front of me disappeared .

My neck went flying .

This was a bad feeling no matter how many times it happened .

The world spun a few times . My sight got dark and the moment my conscience was about to scatter, my eyes shot open at something pulling me .

There were eyes looking at me .

Lee Hui-seung opened his mouth .

“Immortality I see . ”
