Chapter 376
Every time Lee Hyuk swung his sword, a huge wooden pillar rose from the ground and struck Isshin, and the green dragon’s breath rushed out.
This is not an attack that can be avoided, much less an attack that can be blocked. Considering the accumulated damage to Isshin’s body, he should have collapsed long ago.
“It’s like the undead.”
Lee Hyuk gave a concise evaluation of Isshin, calling him ‘undead.’ He was not bragging when he said that he was ready to die. Isshin, who was bleeding all over his body and used his life as firewood to light up a white flame, looked like a true white spirit in Lee Hyuk’s eyes.
“But your tombstone is not here. so… … “Why don’t you make a bet with me?”
From the 6th level boss, Death of Death and the Millennium Old Tree Ent, to the green dragon Dertas, Lee Hyuk used as many as 10 essences of power.
“… … Cough! bet?”
Isshin’s body was already like a rag. He knew right away that he had no chance of winning.
Blood-crazed white ghosts don’t care about contractors. No matter how difficult a situation the contractor finds himself in, the promised payment is steadily taken away.
How much longer can I endure in my current state, a rag and bleeding from my wounds?
“You can defeat me at any time. But why bet… … “You need it, right?”
“I understand your determination. If things continue like this, you will never back down even if you die. But… … I don’t want to kill you with my own hands. “Because you are a hunter who is too good to die now.”
Lee Hyuk followed Shin Hayun, but he was different from Shin Hayoon. He didn’t want to kill anyone for his purposes. This was especially true for such a proud hunter in a world where cowards were rampant.
“… … “Do you pity me?”
“No, in a way it was an admission of defeat. To risk death for others… … “I am stronger than you, but I cannot handle your madness.”
At Lee Hyuk’s words, Isshin looked down at his body. It was impossible to beat Lee Hyuk in his current state. But there was at least a glimmer of hope if he accepted the bet.
You shouldn’t be swallowed up by your own feelings like you used to be. Which is better for Sumire: die like a fool, unable to recognize the difference in power, or accept a bet and take a chance on even the slightest possibility?
“What guarantee is there that you will keep your promise?”
“I can’t trust others either. If you don’t acknowledge the bet and throw a tantrum, you’ll be in trouble. But I also learned one thing under Hayun… … .”
Phew!
Lee Hyuk plunged his sword into dry ground. This was an action based on trust that Isshin would honor the bet.
“That is the way you see people. I believe in your pride, Isshin. Even if you die… … “I am not a liar who would bend my beliefs.”
At Lee Hyuk’s words, Isshin looked at his bloodless palm. What did he want to hold in these slowly dying palms?
“No, like you said, this is a noble pride… … “It’s not even a belief.”
Phew!
Isshin, like Lee Hyuk, plunged his sword into dry ground. He meant that he would accept Lee Hyuk’s bet.
“Because I’ve enjoyed everything I wanted so far… … It is the childish error of a child obsessed with what he does not have.
The support and love of my parents, both of whom were Hunters. Tremendous growth based on outstanding talent and background. Isshin was on the road to success, receiving attention from those around him.
This is the first time I haven’t had one.
Isshin was able to achieve all the human relationships he wanted. If he had been willing to replace the empty spot with someone else, he could have done so.
However, Isshin nevertheless remained here and expressed his desire to hold the sword as obsession.
“okay?”
It was only then that Lee Hyuk realized why Isshin would not back down. Lee Hyuk thought Isshin was a brave lion, but he was wrong.
In some ways, Lee Hyuk and Isshin were the same.
It may seem foolish, but a sword does not work on a blind and pure heart toward someone.
“That’s great.”
Lee Hyuk raised his index finger. Soon the beautifully blooming fireworks suddenly turned into a purple jewel.
Lee Hyuk grabbed the essence. His fingernails were stained black, and the concentration of mana around him became dark.
“As I said before, I have no interest in killing you. Even if you are hit by this attack, your life will not be in danger. “It won’t leave any scars.”
However, contrary to Lee Hyuk’s words, an ugly black magic energy bloomed from his fingernails.
“But you will never be able to stand there.”
“… … “Why?”
“Do you know? From minor scratches to burning pain that cannot be tolerated by the human spirit… … “There is a measure of pain.”
Lee Hyuk laughed. He didn’t mean to scare him, but after hearing this explanation, he wondered if Isshin would still be able to take the bet. Of course, even if he gave up now, he had no intention of being disappointed.
“But that is only the physical pain that humans can feel in reality. … … The power in my hands now is the essence of Belial, the Demon Lord of Pain.”
Each demon possesses its own symbolism.
Even Lilith had the characteristic of ‘enchantment’, so if she were a demon lord, it would be amazing.
“The Magi of Belial symbolizes pain. The pain you feel even with just a brief touch… … It’s more than a burning pain. “It is a distant pain that goes beyond the body and destroys the mind.”
There was no need to explain the rules of the bet any further. If he can withstand Belial’s magic and stand still, Isshin wins.
“If you want to give up, now is the time… … .”
“Start right away.”
Lee Hyuk tried to give him one last chance, but Isshin stopped talking and calmly responded by spreading his arms.
Rather, it was not Isshin who was making a fuss, but the white ghosts.
-Do you really want to die?
-do not do that. If you go through that kind of pain, your brain will melt?
-Why are you stopping me? It’s a fun sight.
-If the contractor becomes a fool, we’ll be in trouble too.
I can’t believe these guys who faithfully take the blood of the contractor even when he is on the verge of death would react like this.
The white flame from Isshin’s body died out. At the same time, the loud voices around me also quieted down.
Isshin gradually reached his limit and opened his mouth, breathing heavily.
“… … Why are you hesitating? “Start quickly.”
Lee Hyuk knew. No matter how devoted he is, Shin Hayun will never look back on him. It may seem foolish, but Lee Hyuk still couldn’t leave Shin Hayun.
He reminded himself that he was Shin Hayun’s only ally and remained by his side until the end.
“You look eerily similar to me.”
Lee Hyuk’s nails cut through the wind.
The black, ugly demon energy turned into a three-pronged sword energy and struck Isshin’s body.
Sigh-!

With a sound as if cold water had been sprinkled on him, Isshin clenched his molars so hard that they broke.
* * *
Member of Rebellion.
True Blood Vampire Hergé looked down at the fainted student with a frown on his face.
“I guess Shin Hayun doesn’t have wide feet like rumored. She prepared a hunter like this at the altar… … . Oh my goodness, she just lost her appetite.”
It was a long time since I went out. It was nice to be put into the operation, but Hergé never dreamed that his opponent would be such a small child.
“As far as it’s delicious, the blood of June was really delicious… … . okay! “I wanted to meet that kid Shin Yu-seong!”
For Hergé, drinking the blood of a hunter with high purity mana meant more than a meal.
It is thanks to the power of ‘vampirism’ that she can change her appearance to the age she wants and maintain her youth.
“Chloe. Are you not even responding anymore? “I wonder who it resembles?”
-Once the recovery is complete, return to the hideout.
However, Claw, who always put strategy first, did not accept the complaints. The reason why Ergé, an ‘elite’ among Rebellion, was deployed was because the importance of this operation was high.
“Tsk, it’s not cute. “Your actions are becoming more and more similar to your master’s.”
Ergé, who removed the glass heart embedded in the altar, grunted and turned his head. Now, if you return to the hideout through the Tower of Heaven, the operation is over.
But now, standing in front of Hergé was a student who had not been there until just a moment ago.
“… … Hmm, what about you?”
It has purple hair and looks harmless, like a herbivore like a rabbit or cow. I don’t remember much, but it was definitely a face I saw in the operation report.
“Ah, I remembered! “You must be!”
Although Hergé could not remember Sumire’s name until the end, he was still able to remember that Sumire was a member of Shin Yuseong’s party.
“Please give it back.”
Sumire stretched out her hand toward the Glass Heart held by Erze and spoke in a stern voice that I had never seen before.
“huh? What do you want back? Oh, you mean this?”
Ergé responded deftly to Sumire’s request.
“Oh my. This is something I need too… … I can’t return it. Or would you like to split this and take half each?”
With a sneer, Hergé pretends to split Glass Heart. Sumire shouted urgently.
“S-Stop it!”
Erze, who was playing with the glass heart by rolling it around in his palm, looked at the nape of Sumire’s neck.
Although it wasn’t as strong as Shinyuseong or Yuwol, Sumire had a better scent than the blood of the student she had just eaten.
“… … “Do you want this piece of glass?”
Sumire nodded in response to Erze’s question with a playful expression. The two were facing off in tension because they didn’t know what Herze would do to Glassheart if they moved hastily.
“So, how about doing business with me?”
It was Chloe, not Sumire, who reacted first to Erze’s playful voice.
-Herge! No way!
Although he was a member of the same Rebellion, Ergé was not loyal to Nameless and was an unpredictable and capricious person. He was not even the leader, but he was a member who could not be controlled even by Claw’s hands.
Erze grinned while looking at Sumire. The sweet scent of blood was slowly covering the surroundings.
“I think you can give it to me.”
