Chapter 192: Chapter 192

A tornado mixed with all kinds of magic rages.

Startled by the destructive power that seemed capable of destroying the world, Choi Hyun-seok quickly dug into the ground.

Going below ground level might help dodge the magic.

However, the power of the magic was stronger than expected.

When the tornado passed, the ground flipped over as if a bomb had exploded underground.

Even mountains were losing their shape and collapsing, so it was natural.

‘I’m screwed… My mana still won’t move…!’

With this much mana, there’s no way to block such monster-like magic.

‘I’ll have to try something.’

Choi Hyun-seok tensed his body.

He has no intention of giving up just because the situation is worst.

Just as he was trying to use everything he had to block the magic.

Rachel’s voice was heard in his head.

‘Leave this to me, Rachel, from now on!’

‘Of course! But in exchange, Hero, you must stay still without touching the mana!’

Choi Hyun-seok immediately released control of all mana.

Rachel would be much better at utilizing mana than himself with his broken mana circuit.

Moreover, since Rachel was stronger when using mana rather than magical power, it was worth taking the gamble.

Two spells are activated in succession instantly.

Different types of protection magic naturally harmonized.

‘This is the double composite shield! Although it’s advanced magic, when done , it’s as solid as any supreme magic!’

Rachel’s voice was full of confidence.

Indeed, her magic was excellently blocking the enemy’s attack.

It was possible because the defense area had narrowed due to Choi Hyun-seok instantly digging into the ground.

‘Don’t worry! The magic will end if we just hold on a little longer!’

Such large-scale combination magic cannot be maintained forever.

Rachel clearly expected the enemy’s magic to fade soon, but…

That prediction was completely wrong.

For some reason, the enemy’s magic kept getting stronger.

‘Rachel. Are you okay?’

‘D-don’t talk to me!’

Rachel raised the shield’s output while making strange noises.

However, that didn’t last long.

The enemy’s magic only grew stronger as time passed.

‘Stop… At this rate… We’ll all die…!’

Rachel quotes famous drama lines even in a life-or-death situation.

Choi Hyun-seok sighed and wiped his face.

He wanted to say something but swallowed it back, worried it might break Rachel’s concentration.

Despite these efforts, Rachel’s power kept weakening.

‘Kuuuuuugh! The shield is breaking!’

Just as Rachel was reaching her limit.

A storm of magical power began to rage from somewhere.

The enemy’s magic is shattered.

The powerful magic that seemed impossible to counter by any means.

In a situation where defense seemed the best option, instead, our side destroyed the magic.

The newly appeared magical power possessed such overwhelming strength.

“This is… Older sister’s magical power?”

This magical power was familiar to Choi Hyun-seok.

It belonged to Park Hyun-a, whom he had dealt with extensively.

But it was too strong to be hers.

‘Where is older sister?’

Choi Hyun-seok urgently looked around.

The enemy’s magic had disappeared by now.

The surroundings were devastated, and fallen enemies could be seen here and there.

He spotted Park Hyun-a lying on the ground, breathing heavily.

Choi Hyun-seok quickly got up and ran over.

Park Hyun-a’s condition, seen up close, was the worst.

Not just the visible wounds, but her insides were completely messed up due to magical power going berserk.

Choi Hyun-seok quickly purchased a potion from the hero shop.

Although it costs 5,000 hero points per bottle, hero points were abundant anyway.

Without hesitation, Choi Hyun-seok opened the potion and poured it into Park Hyun-a’s mouth.

Park Hyun-a coughed and spat out the potion.

“Rachel! Do something!”

“First, spray one bottle on her body! Then pour another into her mouth! I’ll use healing magic!”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded and sprayed the potion evenly over Park Hyun-a’s entire body.

Then he bought a new bottle and carefully poured it into her mouth.

Meanwhile, Rachel used healing magic.

“What’s going to happen? She’s not going to die, right?”

“At this rate, it’s one of two outcomes.”

Rachel spoke with a dark expression.

“Either she’ll never be able to use magical power again because the vessel that contains it, the circuit, is all broken. Or…”

“In the worst case, her body won’t endure and will collapse.”

Martin Ruska doubted his eyes.

Because he couldn’t believe what was unfolding before him.

‘Park Hyun-a had been hiding such power…?’

The combination magic just used isn’t something that can be broken even if it’s legendary.

Of course, Park Hyun-a is an advanced magician even among legends.

With enough time and preparation, she could have broken the magic.

However, it’s absolutely impossible in such a sudden situation.

‘Moreover, it’s not even magic. She tore apart magic with pure magical power. How is such a thing possible…?’

Even more surprising is that Park Hyun-a didn’t use magic.

She broke through our magic just by releasing magical power.

It’s impossible to even guess how high the output must be for this to be possible.

‘Huh, thanks to that, the damage became greater than expected.’

Martin Ruska clicked his tongue.

Due to the recoil of the magic breaking just now, this side also suffered considerable damage.

Martin Ruska checked the status of the connected heroes.

‘About a hundred dead and three hundred severely injured…’

There was no need to count the minor injuries.

All heroes had sustained injuries both big and small.

‘What happened to those two?’

He turned his gaze to look at Park Hyun-a and Choi Hyun-seok.

Park Hyun-a already looked like she was on the verge of death.

Left like that, she seemed likely to naturally reach her end.

Choi Hyun-seok remained, but he wasn’t normal either, so he could be easily dealt with using the remaining forces.

‘Yes. Winning is what matters.’

Although Park Hyun-a’s final awakening was an unexpected development, if he could just kill both of them here.

This much loss isn’t too regrettable.

Martin Ruska raised his hand.

Just as he was about to signal the heroes.

Suddenly, an enormous demonic energy struck.

Looking up, he saw black clouds filling the sky.

In front of them, a woman was looking down at the ground with a dignified expression.

‘Demonic energy surpassing Corps Commander level…!?’

Though he wasn’t sure exactly what magic it was, it was overwhelming just considering the amount of the demonic energy.

Could they block it if that magic is fully activated?

As such doubts arose, something fell from the sky.

The ground resonates as dust spreads in all directions.

Martin Ruska frowned while watching the front.

Eventually, as the dust settled.

What appeared was a large man.

He too was emanating remarkable energy, though not as much as the woman in the sky.

He seemed to be at least at the entry-level of legend.

‘Where on earth did such monsters…’

The appearance of unexpected formidable enemies.

Martin Ruska began to get a headache.

Sara Dunphy surveyed the ground.

Park Hyun-a who seemed severely injured.

Though Choi Hyun-seok was treating her, she didn’t look like she would recover easily.

She turned her gaze to stare at Martin Ruska.

Though her words weren’t very loud, they clearly reached everyone’s ears.

Martin Ruska ground his teeth, feeling an inexplicable pressure.

The answer came from the ground.

“Disrespectful bastard. Asking for my lord’s name without even revealing your own.”

Sara Dunphy laughed at Liam’s words.

“Don’t be too harsh, Liam. There are ignorant ones everywhere.”

The two conversed as if Martin Ruska wasn’t worth their attention.

He wanted to give the order to eliminate them immediately but couldn’t.

‘Damn it! If only Park Hyun-a hadn’t made that last struggle!’

About one-third of the current forces had been cut down.

He couldn’t force too big a gamble in a situation where he didn’t know how strong these two newcomers were.

‘The man on the ground is one thing, but that woman called lord. She might even be at the level of the Grotesque Eater.’

Grotesque Eater Hemis.

The Divine Grace Knights, the Empire’s Ten Stars, the Saint of the Deusis faith, and Legend Asahel Bald were mobilized to hunt her.

That’s a force far exceeding the total power of any ordinary kingdom.

If the woman before his eyes was truly at a similar level to Hemis.

Even if the heroes were in perfect condition now, victory couldn’t be guaranteed.

And along with the man on the ground, Choi Hyun-seok was also still capable of fighting.

In summary, Martin Ruska did not even have a 1% chance of victory.

“I’ll make one proposal.”

Then Sara Dunphy in the sky spoke.

“Leave this place right now. If you do, I promise not to pursue you.”

Martin Ruska’s brows furrowed.

He was trying to understand why she was making such a proposal.

As if reading his psychology, Sara Dunphy immediately continued.

“I’d prefer if you didn’t try to test me superficially. I simply want to save those two.”

“I’ll give you one minute. Decide within that time.”

Martin Ruska’s mind began racing furiously.

‘Who on earth is this woman? What relationship does she have with Park Hyun-a that she wants to save them?’

At first, he was curious about Sara Dunphy’s identity, but soon realized that wasn’t what really mattered.

‘If we flee , we’ll only suffer losses with nothing gained. At the very least, we need to kill Choi Hyun-seok…’

His mind was complicated.

Could they really break through those two and kill Choi Hyun-seok?

Even if successful, if all the heroes here died, could that be considered beneficial?

No matter how much he weighed the options, they kept swinging back and forth.

He couldn’t get an answer at all.

“Time’s up. Your answer?”

In the end, Martin Ruska decided to retreat.

But he had no intention of returning without any accomplishment.

‘In this case, I should at least learn about the enemy’s information.’

At a minimum, he needed to unveil the identity of that woman floating in the sky.

He opened his mouth while looking at Sara Dunphy.

“I am Martin Ruska. The leader in charge of those heroes. What’s your name?”

“Seeing how you handle demonic energy, are you a demon? If you’re a demon, why are you helping those two?”

“I don’t see any obligation to answer you.”

Sara Dunphy’s brows slightly furrowed.

“You seem to be under some misunderstanding.”

The black clouds filling the sky began to churn.

“I am merely showing mercy for those two’s safety. If not for them, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago.”

“Do not test my patience any further.”

Martin Ruska ground his teeth.

He wanted to believe it was a bluff, but that overwhelming demonic energy was too much.

What disaster would unfold if the magic fully activated?

He might fail to kill Choi Hyun-seok and suffer losses on top of that.

Finally, Martin Ruska turned around with a sigh.

Following him, around a thousand heroes disappeared into the forest along with the wounded.
