Episode 119: Bad Luck Day (3)
119. Bad day (3)
Kang Hyun, who was hit by a giant hammer, flew into the sky.
“Wow, it flies far.”
“Is that okay?”
Shin Sung-ah asked with a worried face.
“It’ll be okay since you’re my brother. Probably?”
An Yu-seong answered with a sly smile.
“Mr. An Yu-seong. I was talking about the boss monster.”
“Huh? Haha…”
An Yu-seong, embarrassed, smiled awkwardly.
Because I thought that Shin Sung-ah would naturally worry about Kang Hyun.
“If you’re the boss, wouldn’t it be more fun without your brother?”
“The bastard’s bones are abnormally strong. Kang Hyun-nim’s attack didn’t even cause a wound, so I don’t know if we have the means to attack him.”
Shin Sung-ah’s point was correct.
At first glance, Kang Hyun’s attack just now seemed like a reckless swing, but it wasn’t.
It contained the internal energy of the battles he had fought so far.
Deadly magical control focused on destruction along with overwhelming brute force.
So far, not a single monster has been able to withstand the attack that Kang Hyun just swung.
Even if it was a boss monster or a large monster, its body was often destroyed, and even if it did not kill instantly, it would writhe in pain.
“But there wasn’t even a scratch on his bones.”
“It’s definitely a problem. Even if he was a stupid and evil guild leader, his power was real…”
Yoon Na-rae, who had come down to the side, also nodded.
“For now, we’ll go on a scouting mission while being careful not to get hit by the attack. If we get hit by that kind of attack, you might be okay, but we’ll probably die instantly.”
“All right.”
“No matter how strong the bones are, they couldn’t have escaped the attack just now without being injured. I think there must be some other secret, so I should look into it.”
Naturally, Anyu Seong took command, and the group began fighting in earnest.
-Kooooong, thump!
“Can you even catch this?!”
The boss monster, ‘Mutant Undead Cyclops’, had no special features.
He simply pressured the group with his huge physique, overwhelming strength, and incredible sturdiness.
“Looking at it this way, it really does seem like Kang Hyun hyung has grown a lot. Haha.”
Although he smiled calmly on the outside, An Yu-seong’s head was spinning quickly.
‘I can’t find any weaknesses.’
Even though the battle went on for quite some time, no significant damage was done to the bastard.
The mace that Anyu-seong used to strike the bastard’s bones was slightly dented, and the recoil from the blow caused Anyu-seong’s arm to tremble.
‘It’s a crisis that’s been a long time coming.’
Even though he is an undead made of bones, he doesn’t get tired.
If the battle continued like this, the result was obvious.
“That’s interesting.”
An Yu-seong’s temper grew hotter and hotter.
Although it wasn’t a bloody battle, the thrill of defeating an overwhelmingly strong opponent was just as great.
The stronger the enemy, the greater the joy.
“Mr. An Yu-seong. How about we retreat for now?”
That was when.
Shin Sung-ah, who approached from the side, suggested a retreat.
“Retreat?”
“Yes. If you fight like this and your stamina and magic power decrease, it might be difficult to even escape. It seems better to retreat while you still have strength left and then try again. Since the boss won’t leave the core anyway, it should be possible.”
“Umm…”
It was when An Yu-seong was in deep thought.
“Whoa! What are these!?”
Yoon Na-rae’s scream was heard from the sky.
[Undead Wyvern]
There were monsters flying around there that looked like bone pterosaurs.
“Where did those guys suddenly appear?”
“Wyvern. It’s already overwhelming as a boss, but there are more annoying things.”
Yoon Na-rae engaged in an aerial battle with the undead wyvern for a while before eventually escaping to where her group was hiding.
“Profit, the attack isn’t working!”
“It seems that the magic shield is down, just like the boss.”
“Magic Shield… Magic Shield…”
For a moment, An Yu-seong’s head lit up.
An Yu-seong approached Yoon Na-rae, grabbed her shoulder, and asked.
“Did you see where those guys came from?”
“It just suddenly appeared out of the sky…”
“What were you doing at that time?”
“Since the attack wasn’t working, I was flying near the head to find a magic stone…”
As the handsome face of An Yu-seong got closer, Yoon Na-rae stuttered in embarrassment.
“Why all of a sudden…?”

“Okay. Now I get it.”
That was when.
I felt a presence behind me.
“What do you know?”
There, Kang Hyun, who had arrived without me noticing, was standing there looking very angry.
**
-Pww!
Kang Hyun, who had been flying in the sky, landed in the mud.
“Ahhh… This is no joke.”
The entire left arm bone that took the attack was shattered.
Besides that, the creaking here and there seemed to be quite a shock.
“What kind of power is this so ignorant?”
There was no need to explain its power as it was enough to break Kang Hyun’s bones.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated like this.”
At some point, Kang Hyun stopped wearing armor.
This is because even the slightest stabbing did not leave a scratch on the skin.
Attacks using magical power were still threatening, even when wearing armor.
In the end, Kang Hyun took off his armor to move a little more nimbly.
“It was a wise choice.”
Perhaps if he had been hit with his armor on, the impact would have been less severe, but the armor would have been shattered and unusable.
“Even if I die, I will come back to life, but that is the end of the armor.”
If it’s completely destroyed, it can’t be repaired.
“Let’s take a slow walk and think about it.”
Pain surged through him every time he moved, but Kang-Hyeon didn’t care.
Anyway, if he uses ‘Wayne’s Secret’, Kang-Hyeon will suffer the pain of his body being destroyed and torn apart.
Kang Hyun maintained such painful skills as long as his magical power allowed.
In other words, the pain of breaking bones no longer gave Kang-Hyeon much of an impression.
“By the way, how far did you fly?”
Kang Hyun looked around and swore.
I’m not sure, but it seemed like it flew over 1km.
“Haa, I’ll have to think positively since my body needs to recover anyway… The important thing is how to destroy that guy.”
Kang Hyun sighed as he recalled the situation just before he flew away.
“Do you think bones can become that strong? It’s strange.”
It was when Kang Hyun was deep in thought.
– It’s a magic shield. A thin, strong magic shield was spread across the entire bone.
Veil spoke to Kang Hyun.
“Magic shield? Are you talking about that paper-like magic shield?”
-Yeah. Your colleagues must have noticed by now.
“It can’t be that hard. And it covers all that big stuff?”
-There are many ways. It requires a massive amount of magical power, like a dragon would have, but…
“What is that method?”
-I am a knight. And I am reluctant to learn magic against the undead because I consider it to be unclean.
“Then you’re saying you don’t know in the end!”
-Listen until the end! I’ve dealt with many necromancers in my life. I have gained knowledge from doing so.
Kang-Hyeon, who had been wild at Veil’s words, quickly became calm.
“What is that method?”
-When creating undead, you can greatly increase efficiency by applying special magic processing and deploying a shield with a corresponding magic pattern. A great necromancer can reduce magic consumption while also covering the entire bone with a strong shield.
“After all, isn’t it true that there is a strong shield? It seems like you’re just going around and around in circles.”
Kang Hyun’s expression became very frowning.
-Idiot. No matter how effective it is, a shield of that size and strength would only be possible if a necromancer is always nearby.
“So there is a magician controlling it nearby?”
-Yes. But even so, it’s strange. No matter how great a necromancer is, he wouldn’t be able to withstand that level of magical power consumption… If he could, he would be a giant who could threaten a nation on his own.
“Then I guess he’s a really strong giant.”
-Tsk tsk. Common sense tells you that a big shot like that wouldn’t have resorted to such an inefficient and annoying method. He would have shown himself and killed you all in one go with black magic.
Kang Hyun was lost in thought at Veil’s words.
“The conclusion is that the only magical power is abnormally strong… just like Bandarenko?”
Bandarenko, the leader of the Free Ability Liberation Union. He had demonstrated tremendous power with his exceptionally strong magical power.
Kang Hyun felt like he was going to catch something, but he couldn’t.
“What? You’re already here? Your health has recovered, and the timing is good.”
Before we knew it, Kang Hyun’s body had fully recovered.
Kang Hyun, who discovered the group in the distance, hurriedly walked forward.
“Okay. Now I get it.”
As soon as I arrived, the first thing I saw was An Yu-seong with a sinister smile.
“You came earlier than I expected.”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“I’m not complaining.”
An Yu-seong chuckled.
“So tell me what you were talking about. What do you know?”
An Yu-seong continued his explanation following Kang Hyun’s words.
“There’s a wizard casting a shield nearby. I’m sure it’s him because he’s interfering with my search for the boss’ magic stone.”
Kang Hyun smiled faintly after hearing An Yu-seong’s explanation.
“I knew it all along, Inma.”
“You knew?”
“Of course, Inma. Who doesn’t know that?”
The group looked at Kang Hyun’s words with suspicious eyes.
“Oh, that’s true, that’s why I said that.”
Kang Hyun began to explain with a triumphant expression on his face.
Of course, I left out the fact that it was Veil who told me.
“I can’t believe it…”
As Kang Hyun continued his explanation, the faces of the group became filled with shock.
“So we concluded that there is a necromancer nearby.”
As soon as Kang Hyun finished telling his story, Yoon Na Rae came running in a hurry.
Yoon Na-rae, who was holding Kang Hyun’s head, started looking around.
“What are you doing?”
“I was wondering if something happened to your head when you got hit by the boss earlier.”
“Do you want to fall behind?”
Kang Hyun, frowning, threw Yoon Na Rae away.
“By the way, why are you here?”
The party was hiding behind a rock a little way from the boss.
“It was a tactical retreat. I didn’t think they were an opponent I could foolishly confront like my brother.”
“What the hell!?”
“Oh, I’ll take back what I just said. You’ve become incredibly smart now, hyung.”
An Yu-seong, who had been giggling, continued speaking.
“Then where is the necromancer?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“Don’t you feel any magical power?”
“I keep looking, but it’s not working. The boss’s magic power is magic power, but the magic power flowing out of the main core is too strong.”
“And yet we came right away.”
“Is that so too?”
Kang Hyun stroked his chin at An Yu-seong’s words.
“I guess it’s because my magical power detection is improving day by day… I can sense magical power quite sensitively even when I’m near the main core.”
“Then isn’t the answer out there?”
“What are you talking about?”
“It should be here.”
Kang Hyun frowned at the incomprehensible words.
“Explain it so I can understand.”
An Yu-seong looked down with a sly smile.
“The land.”
**
For the first time in a long time, an evil smile appeared on Kang Hyun’s face.
“I’ll finish it right away.”
There was nothing more to see.
The bastard’s location is certain.
A place where you can receive abnormally strong magical power while being in a location where magical power is not detected.
“Below the main core.”
As they approached the main core, the boss noticed the party and ran towards them.
“All eyes on me!”
At Kang Hyun’s words, the group scattered in all directions, each attacking to attract the boss’s attention.
In the meantime, Kang Hyun ran straight to the main core.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a shovel with me!”
Kang-Hyeon hurriedly dug up the ground, feeling annoyed for no reason.
‘It’s faint, but I can feel the magic.’
As expected, the correct answer was under the main core.
The deeper I dug into the ground, the stronger the magical power I felt.
-Thump, thump, thump!
The boss monster that suddenly ran towards him like crazy also proved that Kang Hyun was not wrong.
“Mr. Kang Hyun. Be careful!”
I heard Shinsungah shouting.
Kang Hyun ignored him and continued digging the ground.
Finally, the moment the boss reaches the main core and lifts the giant hammer,
“It’s late, you punk.”
Kang Hyun-i put his hand into the dirt.
-Phew
Kang Hyun, who had escaped again, was holding an undead wearing a robe in his hand.
“Did you have fun there?”
-Oh my! How did you know…!
Before the bastard could even finish speaking, Kang Hyun tightened his grip.
-Pagagak
The force shattered his skull in an instant, and his body fell limp.
