Chapter 206
Screech- Screech-
With a sound of metal being scratched, the spiders spewed out their threads .
Zzzeeeeek!
Everything touched by the threads was melted, and from the mouth of the spiders, a powerful ray of fire that destroyed everything shot out .
“Where did such monsters pop up from?”
“Where are the garrisons? Where did they go?!”
The people couldn’t help but be confused . Before the invaders arrived at the Great City, the garrisonsshould have stopped them, or notified them of invaders, but there were no signs of either .
The spider monsters that suddenly appeared destroyed the walls and climbed up them to attack the people .
Their numbers were in the hundreds . There seemed to be about 500 of them .
“Shit!”
“Run away!”
There were more than 100,000 people living in the Great City . Among them, more than half were able to fight when they were needed .
But, their attacks didn’t work against the spider monsters .
They were helpless .
But, within the Great City, there were many guilds .
In the past, the Great City had quickly recovered and strengthened their defense after suffering a lot of damage due to the appearance of the Sky Devil .
Soon, many people wearing the identical jackets appeared .
“Long-range attack team, forward!”
“Forward!”
The very first to act was the Luminescent Guild .
With their blue jackets bearing a symbol of light radiating, they appeared and started to deal with the chaos after quickly analyzing the situation .
The long-range attack team of 300 people stood in a horizontal line and prepared to attack .
“Bahamude! The Luminescent Guild has arrived!”
“Even the rising star, Kim Taehwan came!”
The people who weren’t able to run away cheered . The Luminescent Guild was one of the guilds who developed rapidly after they were faced with the Sky Devil’s Trial .
The guild master of the Luminescent Guild, Bahamude, shouted as he raised his greatsword from his shoulder .
“Destroy them all, Wolves of the Luminescent Guild!”
500 guild members who held short-ranged weapons quickly moved .
Their teamwork was also good . The melee warriors distracted the spider monsters, while long-ranged attacks bombarded them .
It went smoothly, as if they were one body .
It looked as natural as breathing .
You could tell how hard they had trained from how this scene played out .
The last two years . After the Sky Devil’s Trial occurred, the Great City was clearly divided between those who progressed, and those who were unable to cope with thechanges .
And the results of this progress showed .
“Pl, please save me…!”
A woman fell on the ground and screamed out loud . The spider monsters didn’t distinguish between men or women . They killed humans as soon as they saw them .
A spider that saw the woman on the ground was approaching her .
The monster grew more terrifying as she saw it rip humans apart with its eight legs as if they were toys .
As the spider was about to tear the woman into pieces, a man appeared .
Thud!
The man crashed into the spider with a loud sound .
Due to his huge silver shield, the spider was repelled .
“Are you okay?”
“Th, thank you…”
“Please get away from this place . Have trust in us Wolves . Go!”
The woman forcefully held her sprained leg and stood up .
Then, the blue-coated Wolves surrounded her .
“Captain Taehwan . I think they are using the immune skill . ”
The man called Taehwan got up with his huge shield and looked at the spiders again .
Behind him, 100 members stood in rows .
‘Immune skill . ’
The man, Taehwan, observed the spider’s movements .
It seemed to absorb other people’s attacks and was recovering .
‘Why does only my strength work on them?’
Taehwan quickly thought about this .
The strength he could control .
Eradication .
It rejected illegitimate power .
Naturally, this power was extremely pure .
Taehwan looked at the battlefield .
It wasn’t that people’s strengths weren’t working on them at all .
Natural types of skills . Although it wasn’t much, they definitely hadan effect .
“Everyone, lose your magic weapons!”
“What do you mean?”
Get rid of their weapons?
The team couldn’t help but be confused .
The veins on Taehwan’s neck bulged .
“Impure powers don’t work against them!”
Taehwan quickly discovered the spiders’ weakness .
If one were to count those who worked the hardest over the last two years, Taehwan would definitely be on the list .
However, Taehwan was still unsatisfied .
This was because his goal was too great . There was no time to waste if he was to catch up with the man that was still firmly embedded in his mind .
The team replaced the weapons that had all sorts of magic .
And held just swords, shields, and spears made purely of metal .
Screeeeek-!
The spider that fell back quickly moved to attack Taehwan .
But, it couldn’t pierce him . Taehwan was a rising star who was known as the ‘Shield Guardian’ . He got the title because even if his opponent’s ability surpassed his, if he was holding his shield, nothing could pass through .
Thud!
In the blink of an eye, the spider was bounced back .
‘Who is it?’
Taehwan frowned .
Two people suddenly appeared and started throwing spiders around . They didn’t belong to his group of Wolves .
A woman, and a man with a large build, both wearing masks!
They looked like they were enemies of the monster spiders . Like an intense wind, they ripped spiders apart .
While doing so, the masked woman looked at Taehwan .
As their eyes met, the woman bowed her head down, then stomped on the ground and flew up into the air .
“Who is she?”
“A master with a mask?”
The team also didn’t seem to know .
There was no information about two masters wearing masks .
Taehwan thought about the woman’s eyes for a moment .
“Don’t doze off!”
Screech!
There were still a lot of spiders .
* * *
Suzy bit her lips .
‘Taehwan-oppa…’
It was a face she hasn’t seen in a while . It seemed like at least 5 or 6 years since they saw each other last .
But Taehwan was the same as she remembered . Besides having slightly more muscles and a hardened expression, it was still the same Taehwan in her memories .
He had settled down and was now leading 100 members .
And so, she wore a mask .
As she didn’t want to be a burden to him .
She even forced the Fighting King to wear one as well . The Fighting King had a lot of enemies in the Great City .
“Eight! Suzy, I think I’ll be winning this competition!”
The Fighting King chuckled as he tore the leg from a spider .
Suzy took out the bottle of liquor she hid . She smiled as she poured out the liquor from the ceramic bottle .
“Then, shall I start now?”
Spattt!
The air popped .
The air near Suzy quickly expanded . Then, as Suzy stomped her feet on the ground, the ground sank down .
Thump!
It was a skill that utilized the exquisite principle of the ten thousand weight hammer, Mangeunchu .
At that moment, Suzy disappeared .
She reappeared on top of a spider .
As she wielded the sword she suddenly took out, the spider’s body became like a beehive . And like a canvas, from the holes bloomed cherry blossoms .
The swordsmanship of the Heavenly Maid Clan!
As the Heavenly Maid’s swordsmanship utilized increased weight and pure energy, the spider monster couldn’t withstand her attack .
“Hmm, you mixed something weird in there . ”
The Fighting King clicked his tongue as he watched her .
She showed off her new Mystery Door technique as she mixed the principle of Mangeunchu with the movement . As the movement had a good balance of energy, even the Fighting King couldn’t keep up with the speed .
At least, in terms of speed, she was in the top 10 of humanity .
Suzy was like a fish in water .
She quickly caught up to the game that started at 8:0 .
“I shouldn’t be playing around any longer . ”
The Fighting King smiled .
He now understood how one great pupil was better than ten average pupils .
However, as a teacher, he couldn’t lose this game .
The Fighting King also gave his all .
While this was occurring, other guilds started to slowly appear after finishing their preparations .
It seemed like the spider monsters were slowly dying off .
Screeech!
Screeeek!
That is, until more spiders climbed up the walls .
“H, how many are there?”
“The wall is collapsing!”
“Ahhh…”
When they were almost done clearing 500 spiders, as if that was just the beginning, more spiders climbed up the walls .
No, they just destroyed the walls .
The people who saw the scene outside the walls couldn’t help but be astonished .
Giant spider monsters were endlessly heading towards them .
* * *
Muyoung admired the scene .
He couldn’t help but admire them .
By what he recalled from 2 years ago, he thought 500 spiders would be enough .
However, the resistance of the Great City was strong . They quickly learned how to deal with the situation and destroyed the spiders .
‘The Great City changed after facing the Sky Devil’s Trial . ’
This was truly the benefit of a Trial .
This was the hope humanity had .
Not being dormant . Just by this, they had gained much greater strength than they had two years ago .
They collaborated their strength and, unlike the past, they weren’t divided . They knew how to fight together against one common enemy .
However, trials needed to be done periodically . For their unity to not die out, they needed a continuous driving force .
‘Why couldn’t they do this in the past?’
The past, before Muyoung returned .
Humanity was weak . One would wonder how it was possible for them to be so weak .
It was because of the Forest of Death, as well as the Clans’ and Guilds’ self-centered interests .
However, everything had changed after the Sky Devil’s Trial . The original selfish bastards mostly died or were in critical condition .
Their vacancy was an opportunity for young, idealistic people .
They became hope for the weak .
This was why the present was different from the past .
‘Now it is possible… they can change . ’
Muyoung didn’t expect this .
He never expected them to change so much in two years .
Muyoung was slightly thrilled .
It had changed . It wasn’t just a possibility . It was a result .
‘I’ll become an enemy to all . ’
As he confirmed the result, Muyoung took the role of villain without hesitation .
At Muyoung’s gesture, additional Ellarsigo started to move .
Let’s fight . As fighting endlessly was the only way live!
“Someone is quickly approaching . ”
“We will get rid of him . ”
Then, the five nine-tailed foxes who were assisting Muyoung started to move .
Muyoung also noticed the presence of something approaching him .
At least in terms of quick movement technique, he was excellent . Someone was breaking past all the monsters and quickly heading towards where Muyoung was at .
Perhaps, they had realized someone was controlling the Ellarsigo .
The nine-tailed foxes swished their tails before vanishing .
Their method of shortening distances was Shukuchi .
Muyoung ignored them all .
Right now, he wanted to give the Great City his full attention .
There was a reason why he stopped so near to the Great City .
By using a bead one of the nine-tailed foxes had left behind, Muyoung could watch the situation in the Great City in real time .
‘The past has changed . We have changed . ’
Just like how Muyoung had moved on from his past .
Although they hadn’t experienced it yet, they would definitely become different people from the past .
Grrrr!
Then, two chunglangs bared their teeth .
It seemed like the nine-tailed foxes were unable to stop the person .
An unknown presence was felt from nearby .
As he turned his head, a woman wearing a mask slowly approached him .
“Kill . ”
Grrrrr!
As soon as Muyoung gave out the order, the two chunglangs immediately ran towards the woman .
The masked woman was already covered with wounds .
There was no way she’d be fine after going through all the monsters and the nine-tailed foxes .
However, the woman in the mask even passed through the attacks of the chunglangs .
“Amazing . ”
Muyoung made a small remark as he faced the woman who was approaching him .
The woman, holding a sword, leapt forward to pierce the sword toward Muyoung’s front .
However, the sword never reached Muyoung .
This was because, as soon as the woman saw Muyoung’s face, she suddenly stopped .
“Mi…ster… . ?”
Thud!
After saying this word, the woman fell on the ground . Blood gushed out from all the wounds on her body .
Kyaaack!!
An enraged chunglang then chomped down on her .
With its teeth pierced into her body, it wanted to eat her .
Seeing this, Muyoung raised one hand .
