Chapter 33 (1/2)

Quazzik-!

“Quek!”

Lizardmen, who were hit by the shield, spewed green blood as they flew backwards.

“Be careful!”

Wajangchang-!

Han Ji-joon cried out as the Sea Gorilla approached.

The monster was grunting heavily as it dashed, its red eyes flashing.

“Block it!”

The players prepared to confront it.

However, it appears that the Sea Gorilla was just the first of many.

From behind him, more Sea Gorillas and Lizardmen were rushing in.

It was the worst-case scenario.

Han Ji-joon was the highest level player in Team 17.

He was over level 300, but he couldn’t deal with these many monsters alone.

On top of that, there were civilians around him.

Protecting the civilians while facing the monsters limits his ability.

“Damn it…”

Han Ji-joon’s giant shield shone blue.

“I can’t just cry here. Bash!”

Quazzik-!

He swung his shield with all his might, hitting the Sea Gorilla’s neck.

At the same time, another Sea Gorilla kicked Han Ji-joon.

Bang-!

He was thrown backwards from the impact, then rolled on the concrete several times.

When he finally stopped rolling, he vomited blood.

His intestines seemed to be injured because of the direct hit he took.

“Damn… it…”

The Sea Gorilla continued to approach him.

“Ah, uncle…”

As Han Ji-joon turned his head at a little girl’s terrified voice, he stared at the child’s deer-like eyes.

Suddenly, he remembered Han Yu-ra as a child, entering his room, saying that she had a scary dream.

“No!”

He struggled back to his feet and raised his shield.

“Don’t worry, kid. I’m gonna blow all these monsters away!”

“Okay, be strong Uncle!”

Han Ji-joon smiled at the girl’s cheer.

He thought he was going to die.

I’m not dead yet; he convinced himself as he coughed blood one more time.

The Sea Gorilla brought its fist up, and Han Ji-joon raised his shield to block it.

Bang-!

A heavy shock was felt through Ji-joon’s arms.

“Bash!”

Suddenly, the shield was covered with a blue light.

Bang-!

The Sea Gorilla was thrown back. It flew like a missile, crashing through a wall.

The other Sea Gorillas grunted at the sight.

“Come on!” he shouted at them.

But everyone around him knew that he was already at his limit.

No one could help. The other players were also fighting for their lives against the other monsters.

But Han Ji-joon couldn’t give up.

Until I could not move, I have to keep fighting.

It was then.

Wooong-!

A red flash cut through the Sea Gorillas.

Subsequently, the dozens of monsters in front of him all fell.

A figure was revealed in front of him.

It was Kang Jin-woo, holding a sword that glowed blue.

“Haha!” Han Ji-joon laughed. “Heroes always appear in that kind of moments to look cool.”

Jin-woo smiled at Han Ji-joon’s words.

“You need to rest.”

“Alas… yes, please help us.”

Jin-woo nodded and turned around to face the other monsters.

[Disciple.]

The swordsman floated over his head.

[You’re not planning to use the True Moon or the Full Moon against these monsters, right?]

Sure, Jin-woo responded.

There was no need to bring out the True Moon.

I will use Cheonma Swordsmanship.

* * *

Jinwoo slowly used the Cheonma Shingong to rotate the inner air inside his body.

A red current filled his sword.

[The Cheonma method is not for defense, but to initiate an attack.]

He practiced the Cheonma method that he learned from training with the swordsman.

He swung his sword in the air.

Cut.

Stab.

Several Lizardmen raised their weapons reflexively.

However, Jin-woo’s attack was with a hidden sword that could not be stopped.

Kwoong-!

Lizardmen hardened in place like statues, then one by one, they split into halves and fell.

Jin-woo’s sword was stained with green blood.

He shook it, sprinkling green blood to the ground.

“Huh huh huh huh!”

The Sea Gorillas flocked towards Jin-woo.

Kurreung-!

Then there was a dark cloud in the sky.

“Lightning strike!”

Pagejik-!

With the shout, a lightning bolt struck a Sea Gorilla, burning it to cinders.

Then, a figure landed on another gorilla near Jin-woo.

It was Kim Dae-sung.

“Dragon…”

He landed in a crouching position; then, he quickly bounced back.

“Kick!”

Pagak-!

A dragon appeared in his legs. He spun and kicked a Sea Gorilla with it.

The Sea Gorilla’s head spun; its neck broken.

However, there were dozens more gorillas flocking towards him.
