F-Class Destiny Hunter Chapter 82

<Episode 82>

I think I know why Shin Soo Ah went out of her way to attack herself and weaken the shadow.

The shadow was stronger than her, and more merciless than her.

The moment Seo Kang-rim stepped back, a stem growing from the ground pierced Seo Kang-rim’s thigh.

-Pfft!

“Ugh… … !”

As the blood flowed out, the tree trunk greedily absorbed it.

A red glow began to form around the shadow.

Seo Kang-rim felt goosebumps all over his body.

[The ability ‘Blood Drive’ is activated!]

“Everyone, retreat!”

Shin Soo-ah’s shadow shouldn’t have been made any stronger than this.

Seo Kang-rim threw ‘Gwangyeom Iljang’ at the shadow and then ran to the nearest door facing downwards.

There too, the tree trunks were spreading their roots, making it difficult to open the door.

“Both of you, down!”

The two men who had been fighting the tree trunk hastily stepped back.

While Seo Kang-rim was blocking the shadow, Jang Tae-heon and Yoon Bom jumped down.

After confirming that the two people had retreated, Seo Kang-rim hugged Liny and moved down as if falling.

Although they barely managed to retreat, the expressions on the three people’s faces were filled with confusion.

“That, can the shadow recover?”

“I see. If only I had the ability.”

Seo Kang-rim stopped the flowing blood with his hand and said.

Shin Soo-ah’s shadow was stronger than expected.

Yoon Bom said, not knowing what to do.

“What should I do? Sister Sua’s badge is on top… …!”

The shadow does not chase you into the next room.

That was previously considered an advantage, but now things have changed.

Since Shin Soo-ah’s shadow could not be lured to another room, it would have stayed in that room until it was defeated.

“… … Let’s go back to prison for now.”

Seo Kang-rim gritted his teeth and stood up from his seat.

I applied a styptic and the bleeding stopped, but I couldn’t help feeling anxious.

“Oh, brother! Sister! Father, are you injured?”

Father John, who had been waiting in the prison, rushed in and began to treat their wounds.

Seo Kang-rim smiled bitterly as he watched the wound heal quickly.

‘It was good when they were on our side, but it’s difficult now that they’re our enemies.’

Father John, who could not understand English, still looked worried.

Yun Gyul-wool, who was behind him, had a similar expression.

Seo Kang-rim asked the two people who remained.

“What about Dokgo Jun?”

“He said he would go out and search alone… … .”

“Is that so?”

I was going to explain it all at once, but I felt like I should talk about it separately later.

Seo Kang-rim spoke to Father John.

“First of all, please restore Ms. Shin Soo-ah. I have something to tell you.”

Father John nodded and headed inside the prison.

After recovering Shin Soo Ah, who was half unconscious, Seo Kang Rim told her what had just happened.

When the story was over, Father John said with a frightened expression.

“My, my shadow did something like that? What should I do? Should I, should I harm myself like Sister Shin Soo-ah this time?”

“hmm…….”

Even if Father John’s shadow was killed, another evil spirit would replicate Father John’s power.

When Seo Kang-rim’s face became troubled, Father John became thoughtful.

Fortunately, Seo Kang-rim soon shook his head.

“No. I think it would be better to just leave quickly. Did you find the ticket?”

“yes yes.”

“Before you go out, I would like you to give us a little bit of a rest.”

“Yes, of course.”

Even though he was exhausted for a week, he used all his magic power to heal people.

The one who received the most credit was Shin Soo-ah.

New flesh began to grow over Shin Soo-ah’s wounds, which had been tattered all over her body, and the scars began to fill in.

Seo Kang-rim spoke urgently as Shin Soo-ah’s hand grabbed the dagger again.

“Stop it. There’s no need to do that.”

“You know, if I don’t do this, the shadows will fly.”

“I can knock down Shin Soo Ah’s shadow, so I don’t have to do that.”

Shin Soo-ah looked at him with slightly surprised eyes.

She said hesitantly.

“I don’t doubt Kangrim-ssi’s abilities. However… … .”

Shin Soo-ah’s concerns were justified.

Seo Kang-rim’s abilities alone won’t be able to defeat Shin Soo-ah’s shadow.

But it’s not like there was no way.

“I plan to handle it like this.”

While Seo Kang-rim continued his explanation, Shin Soo-ah just listened to the story silently.

Other people looked half surprised, half worried.

Shin Soo-ah had a serious expression on her face and then put down the dagger she was holding.

“Okay, then I’ll trust you, Mr. Kangrim. But if something goes wrong, I’ll stab myself right away.”

Seo Kang-rim nodded, knowing that he couldn’t stop Shin Soo-ah.

He looked around at the others and said:

“I think others will agree. Then please do as I said earlier.”

Seo Kang-rim immediately got up from his seat.

There was no time to hesitate.

The belt worn by Shin Soo-ah is now at level 6.

He moved his feet quickly.

* * *

Shin Soo-ah’s shadow stood between the trees.

It was as if the shadow was also a type of tree.

He was holding a knife and was looking calmly at the floor. At the end of his gaze, there was a faint trace of blood.

The blood that people shed had long since been swept away by the tree trunks, leaving not a single drop behind.

-Ga, gagagak… … .

After Seo Kang-rim and his party fled, the shadow stood there as if rooted to the spot.

As if no time had passed since then.

But clearly things were different back then.

There was only one shadow standing in the flower garden now.

The shadows next to me suddenly and quietly subsided at some point.

The shadow that had been standing there blankly seemed to sense something and raised its head to look at the door.

I felt a faint presence beyond the door.

“Everyone should have left by now.”

“Is there really a shadow beyond here?”

“Yes. It has become quiet, though.”

In the room next door were Shin Soo-ah and Seo Kang-rim.

Shin Soo-ah looked at Seo Kang-rim with slightly anxious eyes.

“Is it okay? I sent everyone else away… … .”

“Everyone has left this place, so the shadows must have disappeared.”

There was only one thing that Seo Kang-rim asked of others.

Everyone, please get out of here.

It’s a shame that our allies have been reduced, but the enemy has disappeared too, so we didn’t suffer any major losses.

“Yorongi, Linny.”

Seo Kang-rim called out the names of the young men quietly.

The two waiting in front looked up.

“If I attack, you will do as planned. Understand?”

“Uh, huh!”

“Kyaang!”

Liny looked a little nervous, and Yolong nodded as if to tell her to believe him.

After checking the status of the young men, Seo Kang-rim looked at Shin Soo-ah and said.

“Don’t come in until I get back.”

“……yes.”

After hearing Shin Soo-ah’s answer, Seo Kang-rim went straight into the room and closed the door.

The shadow left alone looked back at Seo Kang-rim.

-Gaga, gagagak… … .

It sounded like an old wooden doll being twisted.

Even though she was alone, Shin Soo-ah’s shadow gave off a suffocating, oppressive feeling.

Even Yo-rong was scared and took a step back.

【Seo Kang-rim, is it okay that you sent them all out? Wasn’t it a mistake?】

【It’s fortunate that the enemies are gone, but… .】

【Are you confident that you can beat Shin Soo Ah’s shadow?】

【This is Shinsooah’s home ground.】

As they said, this place was advantageous to Shin Soo-ah.

The plants that filled all around were moving like her limbs.

It felt like I was in the mouth of a monster.

However, Seo Kang-rim ran towards the shadow without hesitation.

-Whoaaah!

As Seo Kang-rim entered, tree trunks began to stretch out like tentacles from all directions.

Seo Kang-rim dodged it and at the same time, Liny’s power was activated.

[The ability ‘Water Catcher’ is activated!]

A blue light seemed to shine from Liny’s horn, and then a drizzle began to fall in the garden.

Shadows and plants were seen flinching in the sudden rain.

[The energy of ‘water’ begins to increase within the magic realm!]

[The growth speed of plants increases with the logic of ‘water-living trees’!]

As the tree trunks absorbed moisture, they began to grow more lushly.

The once vast flower garden was instantly filled with trees and trunks.

The shadow that was about to rush in with a sword suddenly stopped and began to pour more strength into the ‘Mokyeopjibeop’.

【Seo Kang-rim, why is that crazy guy like that?】

【Why are you growing more trees?】

【You suddenly want to commit suicide?】

The room has now become as dense as a forest.

It was difficult to see the bare ground anymore, and numerous tree trunks had grown around the shadow, forming a protective shield.

Seo Kang-rim ran away from the tree trunk and was eventually cornered.

-A, A, A… … .

The shadow had no face, but it seemed to be smiling.

There was no longer any place for Seo Kang-rim to run away to.

The moment when Shin Soo-ah’s shadow approached Seo Kang-rim.

“Yorong-ah!”

Seo Kang-rim, who was cornered, shouted loudly.

When Yorong heard his name, he took a deep breath as if he had been waiting.

My mouth began to burn with heat.

[The ability ‘Flame Bomb’ is activated!]

[The ability ‘Flame Flame’ is activated!]

Flames shot out from Seo Kang-rim’s hand and Yo-rong’s mouth at the same time.

As flames burst out from both sides, the shadow did not react immediately.

-Whoooosh!

The flames began to spread to the tree trunk.

The tree trunks in front of Seo Kang-rim rolled across the ground like snakes, trying to put out the fire.

‘My ability is low level, so I might be able to turn it off, but… … .’

Seo Kang-rim glanced at Yo-rong.

Yo-rong-i was setting fire to everything as if he had found his own world.

‘A noble flame grenade won’t be easily extinguished.’

The trees that had been choking Seogangrim until just a moment ago had instantly become piles of firewood.

As the surroundings began to burn, Shadow was at a loss.

The tree trunks that had been protecting him until just a moment ago had now become chains.

【Wow, what is that?】

【Are you crazy? Are you thinking of burning down the entire garden?】

【Is suicide really your goal?】

【Idiot, that can’t be! Seo Kang-rim can just jump out. But the shadow can’t run away!】

This was the plan that Seo Kang-rim proposed.

After turning the entire garden into a sea of ​​fire, he escapes, leaving only his shadow behind.

The shadow couldn’t move to another room, so it was obvious that it would just burn to death.

However, if there was only a small amount of firewood, there was a chance that the shadow would put out the fire before it could grow large enough.

Because of this, I used ‘water traps’ to quickly grow the plants and buy time for the garden to be filled with trees.

Shadow also seemed to have decided that the flames were a bigger enemy than Seo Kang-rim or Young-soo.

Seo Kang-rim stepped back as he watched the shadows cut down the burning tree trunks themselves.

‘I should also get out of here quickly.’

Unlike the ‘Gwangyeomiljang’ that did not damage allies, Yorongi’s flame bomb did not distinguish between friendly and enemy units.

Now all we had to do was move to another room and wait for everything to burn down.

“You both go back to the spirit world!”

Seo Kang-rim quickly sent the spirits back to avoid being harmed by the flame grenade.

Now, all I had to do was get myself out of here.

Shadow was too busy dealing with the burning tree to pay attention to Seo Kang-rim.

At that moment, he was trying to escape to the room where Shin Soo Ah was.

-Squeak… …

Amid the blazing scene, the sound of a door opening was heard.
