Hyeonu’s declaration of war was based on sufficient confidence. He hadn’t taken out the magic spirit in his last battle against Teika, and Tang-E hadn’t joined the battle. In some ways, Hyeonu hadn’t used his full combat power in the battle against Teika. Hyeonu did his best alone, but he didn’t use the other combat powers available to him like Tang-E and the magic spirit. This time, he brought them all out.

“You have to be prepared to come out and go back at once. This time, it really isn’t a joke,” Hyeonu sincerely advised his six opponents. Death would approach them the moment they let down their guard.

“Hyung-nim, it seems like he really is ready to do it properly. This bloody killing intent...” Gang Junggu was slightly nervous because of the intense pressure Hyeonu was giving off. Hyeonu seemed to be closer to a monster than a player.

“How interesting...” Kim Seokjung clenched his fists and opened them repeatedly. A pleasant tension filled his body. It was a thrilling feeling.

“Then how are we going to fight? On our own?” Xiao Bao asked the other five people. All six of them were melee classes. Their weapons varied from fists to spears, swords, and knives, but they all used close-ranged weapons.

“I don’t think there is any need to worry too much as long as our paths don’t overlap too much? Aren’t we all good enough for this?” Gang Junggu coolly brushed off Xiao Bao’s question.

At their level, it was normal that they did not need to worry about their paths. Truth be told, it wasn’t an exaggeration that the people here knew all of each other’s skills. They thought they knew everything apart from the skills they truly kept hidden.

Everyone nodded and took out their weapons. Gang Junggu and Kim Seokjung pulled out their gauntlets while Liu Shei and Rain drew their swords. Teika pulled out a spear while Xiao Bao pulled the large broadsword off his back. All of their bodies were surrounded by a variety of colored lights as they used their own buffs. The moment they were all ready, they kicked off from the ground and rushed toward Hyeonu simultaneously.

Then it happened at this moment. A black-red energy flowed out of Hyeonu’s body and encroached on the ground. That wasn’t all. The black-red threads that rose from Hyeonu’s back shot at the six ranks who were charging rapidly toward him. Teika knew the effect of the black-red solid threads, so he shouted, “This is a debuff. Be careful because your stats will be reduced.”

Everyone already knew that even if he didn’t say soo. However, there was just no way to avoid the threads. Even if they cut the threads with their weapons or moved their bodies to avoid them, the solid black-red threads aimed persistently at their bodies like guided missiles.

“I don’t think it can be avoided. I think we will have to rush all at once.”

Eventually, Liu Shei was the first to give his body to the black-red threads, but it didn’t end there. With only a slight difference in timing, everyone else was soon bound by Hyeonu’s Fighting Energy Emission as well. The speed of the six rankers quickly decreased. It was then that the rankers brandished their respective weapons.

Teika shot out a strong blood-colored pure energy from his spear. Rain, on the other hand, wielded his sword. The moment he did so, a brown boar appeared and rushed toward Hyeonu. Meanwhile, Gang Junggu’s and Kim Seokjung’s bodies were engulfed in gold, and they sped quickly toward Hyeonu.

They were supported by Liu Shei and Xiao Bao. The two of them didn’t use strong skills. They thought about it and felt that using many skills at once was not a good choice. Thus, they chose the Crescent Moon Cut. A 10-meter-long pure energy blade shot out from each of the two people’s weapons and flew toward Hyeonu.

-Isn’t this going to be hard?

-Wow, I think a raid is taking place.

-Is it time to push the boss monster to the limit?

-The level of the skills is no joke ㅋㅋ

The viewers just laughed at the spectacular sight. All types of pure energies could be found all over the scene, and they were flying toward one person.

‘Should I block them with Tang-E’s magic?’ Hyeonu wondered inwardly. It seemed like Tang-E’s magic would be enough to prevent these attacks.

“Tang-E, show me your fire magic. It should be gorgeous,” Hyeonu calmly ordered Tang-E to use magic. Hyeonu didn’t seem like someone on the verge of being hit by ridiculously powerful attacks.

“Understood, Master dude!” Tang-E answered loudly before holding a golden bead and using magic. Tang-E’s heart was filled with a huge amount of magic power, and a large sphere formed in the air. The sphere was dark red and around 20 meters in diameter. It was like a small sun. The small sun burned in the air as it flew toward the pure energies just before they struck Hyeonu.

Right at this moment, the magic spirit—the dark red bear standing next to Tang-E—extended both of its paws and formed a sphere that was darker. than Tang-E’s small sun. The sphere of the magic spirit flew quickly like a cannonball. The blood-colored droplets that collided with the magic spirit’s sphere quickly disappeared, the brown boar vanished, and Gang Junggu and Kim Seokjung were deflected. The sphere of the magic spirit also disappeared.

It was mutual destruction.

After that, a small blazing sun was revealed, and it absorbed Liu Shei’s and Xiao Bao’s crescent-shaped pure energies. Liu Shei and Xiao Bao didn’t produce any results either. The little dark red sun continued to move forward. Now the one in danger wasn’t Hyeonu but the six rankers.

In front of them, there was a fireball approaching. Yet none of them were nervous or trembling. They were the representative players of Arena, so they’d had countless experiences like this. Of course, the difference was that the opponent was a monster, not a player.

‘Can I drive it back alone?’ Rain was momentarily worried while using his skill. Could he block the fireballs in front of him alone? His thoughts were short, and his actions were even shorter.

“Please intercept it with me!” Rain shouted while swinging his sword. It was a choice that considered even the smallest possibilities.

Rain’s sword was covered with blue. A blue shark emerged from the ground and swallowed the black-red sun. After that, the top half of the shark’s body burst apart. The black-red sun had halved in size, but that alone was threatening enough. Following that, green pure energies flew toward the sun. The dozens of green pure energy strands were destroyed along with the rest of the black-red sun.

“Why is it so powerful?” Xiao Bao, the owner of the green pure energy, clicked his tongue. The shower of pure green energy was Xiao Bao’s main skill, as well as his favorite skill. As such, its skill proficiency was very high, and it was naturally quite powerful. Yet despite having collided with Rain’s main skill and becoming halved in size, the black-red sun still managed to destroy Xiao Bao’s main skill.

Liu Shei rushed forward while shouting at Xiao Bao, “I think the magic of that bear is the best in the guild. It is in the top three among the magicians I know.”

Hyeonu instantly appeared in front of Liu Shei like a ghost, and dark flames struck Liu Shei’s abdomen right then.

‘What?’ Liu Shei looked down in a confused manner. He didn’t know why this blow had hit his abdomen. Even so, the result didn’t change.

Hyeonu pulled out the Mysterious Sky Sword that was stuck in Liu Shei’s abdomen and told Liu Shei, “Aren’t you acting too casually? You are ignoring me too much.”

Liu Shei fell down to the ground and couldn’t get back up. Hyeonu glanced behind him. Tang-E quickly jumped forward, grabbed Liu Shei’s leg, and dragged him away.

‘I was lucky to quickly get rid of one... ’ Hyeonu was very grateful that he caught Liu Shei off guard. Otherwise, the spar would’ve been drawn out. Five and six only differed by a count of one, but in terms of how it felt in this situation, there was a huge difference. Having to defeat six people was greatly different from having to defeat five.

‘Who should I start with?’ Hyeonu glanced at the five men who were still fine. None of them seemed like an easy opponent. This didn’t mean that he intended to stick to defending. At times like this, he had to come out strongly.

‘Kill them quickly.’

Hyeonu didn’t think he would be hit even if he targeted someone. He had to seize the opportunity in battle. Hyeonu moved his body to create such opportunities. He didn’t specifically target anyone; he just aimed at the person standing at the front of the five people.

Coincidentally, that person was Xiao Bao. He had come forward to fire his skill and ended up caught in Hyeonu’s radar. Hyeonu appeared in front of Xiao Bao and swung the Mysterious Sky Sword.

Black-red pure energy rose along its trajectory. Xiao Bao reacted quickly. The moment he perceived Hyeonu’s appearance, he stretched out his broadsword. The black-red and green pure energies collided. A powerful shockwave burst out, sending dirt flying everywhere. Something black popped out from the cloud of dirt.

“Xiao Bao...!” Liu Shei called out as he drank potions in the distance. Xiao Bao flew back for a long time and couldn’t stop until he reached the wall of the arena.

“Cough...” Xiao Bao barely managed to stand up and held his buzzing head. “Truly a monster.”

‘This is a crazy level, seriously.’

Before this fight, Xiao Bao had only heard of Hyeonu’s power. Of course, he had seen the videos, but it was different experiencing it in reality. What he’d just personally experienced of Hyeonu’s strength was ridiculous.

‘We have to fight against that?’

It felt much more powerful than that of the demon noble Xiao Bao recently encountered in the demon world. Hyeonu was incomparable to the grandmasters Xiao Bao had met in the arena. However, Xiao Bao’s train of thought didn’t last long because a black crescent moon appeared in front of his eyes.

At the next moment, one wall of the arena was completely smashed. It had collapsed, and only Xiao Bao’s head could be seen in the middle of the pile of rubble. His face was covered with blood. Even now, the stones near Xiao Bao were turning red due to his blood.

-He sent two people away like this.

-Does he have bad feelings toward Kowloon?

-Do they fight usually?

-Otherwise, how can he only send away the two of them?

-This is why they should’ve done a bit better. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The viewers laughed at the two members of Kowloon who were sent away from the battlefield in vain. It was a completely empty loss. There had never been such an absurd loss in the streams of the arena. In front of Hyeonu, there seemed to be no difference between the viewers and these rankers.

-Wow... What is this again?

-Is what I saw just now reality?

-What is this?

-Is this really possible?

The viewers couldn’t shut their mouths at the sight that just appeared in front of their eyes. Something truly amazing was happening.
