Chapter 138: Wrath: Closed

In-sung stumbled upon receiving the dangerous attack. He gritted his teeth while enduring the pain of the wound in his left arm. His left hand could no longer function properly for now. His bones got crushed, and his flesh got torn apart. Even though it wasn’t cut off, it was basically dead weight for him.

Such a wound would only become a hindrance in the life and death battle that was currently happening. But at certain times, it could also get used as an opportunity to win. It depends on how it got utilized later.

The Undead Knight, who saw his opponent fall to the ground, immediately launched another attack. But, it didn’t work like before. Gang-ho managed to cast a magic spell. A stream of cold water hit the creature and its mount, pushing them away from In-sung.

The attack caused the Undead Knight and Undead Horse to emit hot steam and inflict significant damage on them. Suddenly, the flames in several parts of the bodies of the two creatures blazed fiercely again. It seemed as if the water magic attacks didn’t have much effect on it.

The three Undead Knights and the other Undead Horses that got hit by Gang-ho’s blast earlier had risen and moved towards the two S-rank hunters.

In-sung and Gang-ho looked at each other while giving a tacit understanding of what they do next.

In a second, the two nodded. Gang-ho rushed towards the three Undead Knights. Meanwhile, In-sung was still kneeling on the ground, holding his left arm and being the target of the Undead Knight, who injured him earlier.

A seemingly hopeless situation would usually have a predictable outcome. But this time, even under such circumstances, In-sung was already prepared for the impending attack.

That behavior made the Undead Knight think that the human had given up and barged straight ahead. He assumed that he had managed to drag one human Mana user down.

However, unbeknownst to the creature, a pillar of sharp ice chunks aimed nimbly at the head of the Undead Horse from his right side.

The Undead Knight was taken aback by that. But unfortunately, the sharp ice pillar extended further into his head in the blink of an eye without giving him time to dodge.

In-sung heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the enemy had lost. The sharp ice pillar that was on his left arm started to evaporate. And revealed his broken left hand. He then turned his gaze towards Gang-ho, who was fighting the three Undead Knights at once.

The battle was fierce. Gang-ho looked like he was fighting to the death with the three creatures. Sure enough, close combat was not comfortable at all.

Initially, Gang-ho’s choice to fight the three Undead Knights was long-range combat. However, the three creatures swiftly dispersed, causing him a bit of trouble to confine the three of them in one place.

Left with no other choice, Gang-ho ended up having to fight head-on. Of the exchange attacks, almost half got connected to his body. However, he tightened his mouth that was already dripping with blood, and continued to attack non-stop.

One Undead Knight swung his club and landed right on Gang-ho’s left shoulder. The Undead Horse also let out fire magic at the S-rank hunter.

Yet…,

“Heh! I finally got you. It’s not for nothing that I have to endure this attack head-on.”

Gang-ho’s shoulder must have badly gotten injured from Mace’s attack. But, in exchange, he could restrain the creature’s movements. He also managed to block the fire attack from the Undead Horse with fire magic from his hand.

Gang-ho swiftly used his other hand and grabbed the hand of the Undead Knight holding the weapon. He immediately used water magic at that very moment. The water immediately spread and enveloped the creature’s entire body and his mount. In an instant, water spikes shot out from the Undead Knight and the Undead Horse simultaneously.

The two remaining Undead Knights didn’t have time to aid the others. It was because they got blocked by In-sung in mid-way. Unfortunately, the S-rank hunter wasn’t in good shape, and his strength had already drastically reduced. One creature managed to pass and rush to Gang-ho.

“Hyung! Watch out!!”

“Rather than worrying about others. You should focus on what’s in front of you.”

In-sung was surprised to hear those words. He immediately used fire magic, trying to put some distance between them. But it didn’t work. He instead got hit quite hard in the chest by the creature’s Mace. He bounced far back while spitting blood from his mouth.

Gang-ho, who turned his head at In-sung’s warning, was also got hit by the Mace on his left. Luckily, he was able to raise his arm to defend. However, that only made the wound worse because of the injury on the shoulder earlier.

The two S-rank hunters had already fallen and were on the verge of defeat. They are not fighting at full strength because their Mana consumption got already depleted in the beginning from dealing with the Red Gates that appeared from noon.

The two Undead Knights approached leisurely with their mounts.

“Humans, you guys are strong. But to my surprise, you guys were able to kill three out of five of me. It is my sacred skill that overwhelms Val’gard. A troll who got praised as the next candidate to join the Generals of Redredane. Impressive.”

Gang-ho and In-sung were a bit far from each other, heard the same thing at once from the Undead Knight in front of them. Both of them bit their lips respectively saw the bitter result. They were already at their limit and weren’t sure if they could continue fighting. They didn’t have the strength anymore to run away. How about continuing to fight? It was an impossible task.

The situation looked bleak and hopeless.

“My Great Warlock. I’m sorry this subordinate of yours was unable to complete the task.” The two Undead Knights spoke, and the Undead Horse raised its forelegs.

Neigh!

Gang-ho and In-sung, who hear and see this are confused. They don’t understand what it means. Not only that, what happened after that made them both even more shocked.

Puff!

The two Undead Knights suddenly lit up violently and disappeared in an instant. Out of nowhere, all those creatures evaporate into the air.

Unperceived to the two S-rank hunters, the skill used by Nazzej was an ability that was dangerous if used beyond the max limit or in a state, not at full power.

Back at Gang-ho and In-sung, they were still astonished in the direction in which each of the Undead Knights disappeared. No matter how fast they racked their brains, they still couldn’t find an explanation for it.

“Hey! Do you know what’s going on!?”

“I was the one who wanted to ask you that too.”

Like that, the Red Gate in the Jongno district finally dissipated, causing the swarm of skeleton army to come to a halt.

Meanwhile, somewhere else close to the Dongdaemun district. The darkness of the night didn’t prevent the two Mana users from meeting and interacting.

“The Red Gate won’t close if you don’t die.”

“Don’t worry. I was prepared long ago for times like this.” said the Night Hunter.

Kakaka–

“But, shouldn’t your leader be the one who came to me? Why would you? I don’t really know your members. We would have almost fought if you didn’t mention my Lord’s name earlier.”

“I don’t know the details, but Ma Dong-seok isn’t here anymore because some trouble has occurred. So, I got asked to take care of this should a creature as you come out of the Red Gate.”

The Night Hunter tilted his head. “Well, it doesn’t matter to me. My business is only what my Master, Emperor Necromonican tells me to do.”

The Mana User in front of the Night Hunter smirked. Even though he joined hands with the creatures of the Portal Gate, it didn’t mean he didn’t despise the monsters. The audacity that he was a human who possessed the Mana Blessing was the best of ordinary humans and Portal Gate creatures. It was his absolute arrogance.

The Night Hunter didn’t mind the hunter’s attitude. After all, even if he was not satisfied with it, he could not retaliate. It was because the difference in strength and Mana was apparent between them.

“So, what about the Red Gate?”

The Night Hunter did not answer the hunter’s question. He walked instead, widening the distance a bit. He then stuck his right hand with sharp nails into the left chest.

Szreet!

At that moment, a spheroidal blood clot got pulled out with that hand. The Night Hunter then kneaded the globular blood clot until it disintegrated and evaporated.

“Done.”

The hunter frowned. “What do you mean!?” He originally wanted to continue his displeasure. But after sensing the creature’s Mana got decreased a lot. He asked further.

“What happened?”

Kukuku–

The Night Hunter laughed disdainfully. “That one just now is a Key of the Door. Its only function is to close it.”

The hunter narrowed his eyes. The Key in question was the Dungeon Bead which usually got used to exit the Portal Gate. It was because the Redredane creatures referred to the Portal Gate as the Door and the Dungeon Bead as the Key.

“That means the Red Gate has disappeared? How did that happen?”

The Night Hunter didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to say that the secret was his unique existence. Simply put, he was the only one who could cheat the Universe Gateway.
