Chapter 50: 50

The man opened his eyes wide as if Su-hyeun’s remarks caught him off guard . It seemed like Su-hyeun knew their situation well . They were supposed to be veiled, but he looked like he knew that they started to move for this situation .

“Maybe…”

The man with the big sword narrowed his eyes and stared at Su-hyeun .

“He does not want to fight us,” he thought .

It was a sense of incompatibility that he felt ever since he came to this place . Unlike other awakeners, Su-hyeun did not show any fighting spirit or a murderous spirit . It was hard to see those eyes belonged to a fighter, but he could read determination in them . He could not read everything from one’s eyes but at least the mood usually did not lie .

“Above all… . ”

The man swept his chest . He could feel his skin through the cut armor . If the wound was a little deeper, he might get a fatal injury . No, Su-hyeun could have even split his body .

“He just went easy on me . But why?”

The man of the sword, Kang Seung-Cheol recalled the director’s words .

“The man named Kim Su-hyeun joined the Dump Guild . Go kill him!”

That was what the hot-headed director told to him . It was the first order he got, but Kang Seung-Cheol was curious first of all .

“What kind of person is Kim Su-hyeun? Is he a genius as the rumors said? Or is he just one of the lucky men among many awakeners?”

He somewhat could tell the answer after he saw him in person .

“First, the rumor said he was a genius… Then, what is he hiding behind him?”

He was curious and had to satisfy his curiosity . There was only one thing he could do .

“I have to push him a little harder,” he thought .

Kang Seung-Cheol raised the sword again . He knew the first attack was his bad habit . When he did not know the enemy’s power, he used to rush for the first time . He trusted his power too much .

“Let’s take a deep breath…”

Sigh—

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath . It helped him to refresh .

Whirl, whirl—

He put his magic into his sword . Since he realized the enemy was not an easy one, it was his turn to work with full force .

“Slowly, here I go again . ”

Whizz—

As soon as Kang Seung-Cheol began to move, once more, dozens of chains stretched out toward Su-hyeun .

“They started again,” Su-hyeun thought .

Whizz—

Along with their motion, Su-hyeun started to move to the end of the chains . The chain stretched and narrowed, pressing Su-hyeun . When he wielded his sword to encumbering chains, they were cut with a smooth cross-section . He aimed the cores of the chains and cut them off . It almost looked like an unsurpassed ability . It was possible not just because Su-hyeun knew the weak spot of the chain but also because he had a sense that he could carry his cutting out very well .

“It’s amazing no matter how many times I see . ”

Kang Seung-Cheol, watching Su-hyeun, wielded his tongue . He and his team got professional training and also experienced actual training going through the Tower of Trial . But he never thought that such a precise movement would be possible .

“Is he a real genius? Or did he get professional training like them?”

Or many be…

“Both?”

He stroked his big sword to Su-hyeun thinking about any chance . The short break that Su-hyeun cut the chain, he aimed, and without a moment to hold his position, he wielded the sword .

Boom—!

His power was as if the huge mountain falling . The big sword was filled with highly concentrated magic of Magic Level 6 . It helped to bring his Strength to the climax . Strength was Kang Seung-Cheol’s specialty .

Boom, boom—!

Rumble—

A heavy strength and the big sword pressed Su-hyeun down . It was a strong strike . Kang Seung-Cheol did it with the intention of cut in half of Su-hyeun’s sword and body . But…

Crush, crush—

The big sword was blocked by Su-hyeun’s sword . It did not go down anymore .

“What the hell…”

He had wielded so he wouldn’t give him a chance to hold his position . As his intention, Su-hyeun was holding the sword with no proper position . But he still was not pushed away…

“He has more Strength than me…?”

He could not believe it . He focused most stats on Strength . And this guy had higher Strength than him . Moreover, the tip of the sword started to crack again . In this way, the sword might shatter and break soon . The difference between the sword was also obvious . Stats, skills, combat sense, as well as even owned items, were superior .

“Isn’t it a little scam?” Kang Seung-Cheol asked as if it was ridiculous .

Su-hyeun sneered as if he noticed the meaning of the word “scam . ” It meant his sword, Gram .

“Why? Are you jealous?” Su-hyeun asked .

“Honestly, yes . ”

“If you win, I will give it to you . ”

“…No, thanks . It doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen,” Kang Seung-Cheol said .

“Win him? To this monster in front of me? Absurd!” he thought .

It was a short battle, but he knew something for sure .

Kang Seung-Cheol was the only A-ranked awakener in his team . The other nine awakeners were all B-ranked . It was enough military strength to attack a yellow dungeon . They cooperated and pushed Su-hyeun as if they were one body . But Su-hyeun was not killing anybody . He even didn’t fight back properly . Su-hyeun could enter the highest rank among the A-rank awakeners .

“If we want to catch him… We would have to bring at least twice as many people as we have now . No, that might be not enough either . ”

Crack—

Kang Seung-Cheol stepped back from Su-hyeun and looked around . He had heard there would be additional personnel, and it looked like the director worked quickly . Other people already arrived .

“…That is a lot . ”

They were awakeners of the civilian guilds who were not put into the dungeon attack . The manpower requested by the director was them . The awakeners from several upper guilds ranged from C-rank to B-rank to A-rank awakeners . The number of awakeners gathered there was close to a hundred units . There were many people, it was enough to attack even a green dungeon . Su-hyeun also knew their existence . He did not feel much embarrassed because he thought that there would be such a large number of people in the first place . However, he could see a familiar mark among them .

“…Ares Guild?” he thought .

He knew some guilds already . But Ares Guild was not supposed to be here . Su-hyeun looked around slowly . His gaze moved to the one side . At that moment, his eyes met with Hak-Joon .

“Why is he here?”

Their joining was certainly not on a schedule .

It was not particularly awkward, but he could not just accept the fact that the future had changed .

“It is 9:30 . ”

Su-hyeun checked the time with a watch on his wrist . The time had passed pretty much . The stamina went away about that much, but fortunately, his magic was still enough . Additional reinforcements were not necessarily bad news . Even if it would be difficult right now, it would make things easier later .

“So, what are you going to do now?” Kang Seung-Cheol faced Su-hyeun and laughed at him . “Now, will you fight?”

“I think you have been mistaken for a while…” Su-hyeun frowned, but his maks hid it, and he looked at Kang Seung-Cheol . “If I do, you are going to die . ”

Shiver—

Kang Seung-Cheol raised his sword reflexively, as soon as he met Su-hyeun’s eyes through the mask . He felt like his neck would be beheaded .

“What, what the hell…”

The concentration of magic he felt at the instance was not something of A-Rank . So far, he had thought Su-hyeun was just out of the common among A-Rank awakeners that he just had excellence in the skill composition and proficiency…

“No way… Is he possibly… S-Rank?”

He thought that would be nonsense . He was only sophomore awakener . Being A-Rank would be far beyond common sense . He thought there would be no way Su-hyeun was S-Rank . Few people in the world ranked as S . In Korea, right at the moment, there were only five S-Rank . One of them was a mercenary and three were guild masters . One awakener belonged to the country, and he was like a leader in his team . As an individual, S-Rank was known as they had equal power of a large guild . That was the power of the S-rank awakeners . Su-hyeun’s gaze turned to the newly showed up awakeners of Ares Guild . And his eyes met Hak-Joon’s eyes .

“Now, 30 minutes left…” Su-hyeun thought .

When he looked up, there was full of clouds in the sky . The clouds gradually turned purple . It was close to the phenomenon, but at this moment no one cared about it . There were close to 130 people gathered .

“Now, I will have some fun,” Su-hyeun grinned as he was thinking .

Rumble, rumble—

Swish, boom, boom—

Numerous sword and spear flew to Su-hyeun . He struck them with his sword or grabbed them . He tried to save his Flame skill . He decided to save his magic rather than his health .

One-too-many fights always gave him a similar feeling . He felt like he fought with a monster of 100 heads and 200 arms . Moreover, he could not even fight back with a fatal attack . Su-hyeun’s eyes cooled down quickly . Other awakeners who were dealing with Su-hyeun felt the same way . It had been thirty minutes since they fought one vs . many . Because of the battle, the buildings around them were smashed and shattered .

“Don’t you think this is strange?” Hak-Joon got closer to Kim do-ui and asked .

“What do you mean?” Kim do-ui asked back .

“I mean this fight . No one actually tries to kill the other side . ”

“That is because that man does not have a murderous spirit . ”

“You mean, they lost their will to fight each other?”

“You are doing the same, aren’t you? Why do you ask me? I think we never met before,” Kim do-ui said .

“Because you’re just sitting back and watching from afar . You must have been ordered to catch Kim Su-hyeun from the agency, right?” Hak-Joon asked .

“Well, yes . If my thinking was wrong, I will just receive disciplinary measures . That’s all . ”

“Thinking?”

“I was not sure but…”

Rumble—

Kim do-ui raised his head and looked up . There were dark clouds over the sky . The cloud continued to change its color, but now it had changed its color to green .

“I guess… It will really happen . ”

“Yes?”

“Look carefully—” Kim do-ui opened his mouth .

Even if he did not say that, people started to notice a strange thing . Hak-Joon, who was standing next to Kim do-ui, looked up the sky as well .

“—the thing will happen here from now on . ”
