Episode 189
Only after all the monsters had fallen did Gu Geon slowly move his body.
Are you thinking about your past days with Maria?
Was it because of pride that he didn’t move?
No, I wonder if that kind of intelligence still remains in the first place.
It was impossible to know unless you were Goo Geon.
-Krrr… … .
Even though it was already walking on four legs, it felt distant from humans.
Jagged bones sticking out of the skin, misaligned shoulders, and uneven muscles.
All of those things were denying Gu Geon’s past.
“You can give me heels from now on.”
“… … yes… … !”
After saying that, Cheon Hae-seon flew away.
Being able to send healing means being prepared to get injured.
Cheon Hae-seon had a high opinion of Gu Geon-i’s power, and Maria and Yuk Cheol-wan looked at Cheon Hae-seon’s back with tense faces.
‘first… … .’
grasp.
Cheon Hae-seon kicked off the ground and jumped towards Gu Geon.
During the ranking match, Goo Geon was unilaterally beaten by Cheon Hae Seon.
This is because he did not have telekinetic abilities and had no means to counter the phantom attack.
However, as the energy of the dark matter increased significantly, I began to see through Hoenn’s attack.
bang!
‘As expected.’
Watching him properly receive his first attack, Cheon Hae-seon thought it was a good test.
Like the monsters lying around over there, hitting back doesn’t work.
It was a moment when I felt that I had become something far removed from humans.
Buuuuung.
“?!”
Cheon Hae-seon suddenly opened his eyes.
This is because a cloud of white light flowed from Gu Geon’s body.
‘Nonsense.’
It was definitely ether.
How did Goo Geon, who became a demon, become able to use ether?
Without any time to question, Gu Geon swung his arm.
Boom.
Fast movements that are unbecoming of a large body.
Cheon Hae-seon avoided his movement by taking a step back, but did not even think that the attack had a shock wave.
bang!
“Tsk… … !”
Cheon Hae-seon flew dozens of meters and rolled over.
His body is not only ‘strong in self-defense’ but also hardened to ‘S’ rank level.
Judging by the power of the shock wave, even if it had been Yukcheolwan instead of Cheonhaeseon, it would have been blown away just as it was.
“… … “Nothing has changed since I was human.”
Cheon Hae-seon muttered, spitting out blood.
It was like that when he was a hunter, and even now that he became a chimera, his strength was unrivaled.
Shall… … .
The pain in my chest and the wound in my mouth begin to heal quickly.
Most likely, Maria is providing healing remotely.
Originally, healing requires a close distance between the caster and the target, but with a class like Maria’s, remote healing is possible in this way.
Moreover, considering that this was the spirit world, it could be inferred that her abilities had also advanced.
Sigh.
Suddenly, Gugeon’s head turns towards Maria.
With drool dripping from the corner of your mouth.
It doesn’t seem to be intelligent at all, but has it sensed Maria’s presence?
“… … .”
Maria was also feeling Gugeon’s gaze.
However, there was no sign of agitation on his face.
‘If it was going to leave such a lasting impression, why did you use dark matter?’
Maybe Maria is thinking the same thing as Cheon Hae-seon.
Faaat.
Cheon Hae-seon leaped again and attacked Gu Geon-i.
His attacks were faster and more intense than before.
Anger at being looked at?
It wasn’t anything like that in particular.
Other colleagues who are not here.
The thought that they might also be fighting made me anxious.
bang! bang!
However, Gugeon’s movements were agile and solid.

The ‘flashback’ that gave him the upper hand unilaterally didn’t work, and now that he had become a chimera, his movements were two or three times faster.
Furthermore,
“Whoa!”
A shock wave of ether poured out from the arms and legs that were swinging wildly.
If you use a weapon, just look and dodge.
The ether that was spewing out irregularly was difficult for even a shallow sea vessel to handle.
Hwareuk.
As if he thought there was no answer in close combat, Cheon Hae-seon took a step forward and released poisonous flames.
And on the other hand… …
-Keaaaaaaaaa!
The Red Viper was called in and a diversionary operation was launched.
Black flames with a hint of golden light and a large red poisonous snake attacked Gu Geon at the same time.
Quagwagwagwagwagwagwanggwang
‘amazing… … !’
Yuk Cheol-wan’s mouth opened wide at the overwhelming fighting power.
The ability that Cheon Hae-seon showed was beyond the human level, to the point where I was amazed and even forgot that this was a life-or-death battle.
Isn’t this a spirit world where it is difficult to use one’s abilities?
‘At this level, it’s surprising that he doesn’t die.’
However, Yuk Cheol-wan’s evaluation was meaningless, and Goo Geon stood straight in his place.
“… … Unbelievable… … .”
Unlike Yuk Cheol-wan’s shocked face, Cheon Hae-seon meticulously replayed the scene from before.
‘The poisonous flame was canceled out by swinging ether, and the red poisonous snake was defeated with a body imbued with magical power… … .’
It was an extremely strategic and intelligent choice.
The area directly touched by Merus is covered with ether, and the remaining abilities are borrowed from the power of the demon world.
The most efficient method was chosen for each attack.
“haha.”
Cheon Hae-seon suddenly burst into laughter.
It was a sonorous voice that did not suit this serious atmosphere.
Did he go crazy because his attack didn’t work?
While Yuk Cheol-wan was thinking such a ridiculous thought, Cheon Hae-seon said something shocking.
“Perhaps you. “Aren’t you sane?”
“?!”
Yuk Cheol-wan and Maria couldn’t help but be shocked.
Where is the ‘intelligence’ left in those instinctive movements, crazy eyes, and drooling?
However, Cheon Hae-seon seemed confident in his own way.
“If you are a low-level monster, you cannot counter these two attacks like this. “Because this is not the realm of instinct.”
if.
If we assume that Goo Geon still has intelligence related to combat.
Why did Mine leave it behind?
‘perhaps… … .’
I had some guesses, but I couldn’t come to a conclusion.
In many ways, Gu Geon’s intellect is quite damaged.
However, the analysis and response shown during the battle could easily be called human.
‘Is this unfortunate or fortunate?’
However, only very small fragments of my memories with Maria seemed to remain.
Although I was reacting to her unconsciously, I didn’t feel any obsession or anything.
“Stop being a sad puppet.”
As if Cheon Hae-seon had made up his mind, he activated all of the Merus in his body.
The pupils sparkled with the brightest golden color, and the hair was golden as if it had been dyed on the surface.
‘That many Merus… … I feel like I’m seeing this for the first time.’
Yuk Cheol-wan looked at Cheon Hae-seon and swallowed his saliva.
I can say without a doubt that it was the strongest of all the Merus energies I had ever seen.
Cheon Hae-seon’s arms, legs, and even every single hair on his body were covered in golden light.
Like a helmet covering his entire body, Merus is protecting his body.
Suddenly.
One of Gugeon’s ears was cut off by the blade wielded by Cheon Hae-seon.
If it had been a normal hunter device or ether energy, it would not have been able to damage Gu Geon’s body.
However, as befits a substance said to be the source of all power, the blade made of Merus cut Gugeon’s body like cutting tofu.
The same applies to life forms in other worlds, but in particular, the substance that was more poisonous to monsters was Merus.
-Aaaah.
With a sound that could not be described as a scream or a roar, Gugeon swung his arms.
It was Gu Geon who was able to see through even the ‘flashback’, but Cheon Hae-seon’s speed, which activated Merus at full power, had more power than the ‘fantasy hit’.
Paang!
A shock wave spread out from the arm Gu Geon swung, but Cheon Hae-seon was not there.
I quickly turned my head left and right, but it was in vain.
Because he was now on top of Goo Geon’s head.
“Sigh!”
With a short burst of energy, Merus’ blade pierced Gugeon’s shoulder.
Deep.
-Kyaak!
Gu Geon hurriedly swung his other hand and kicked Cheon Hae Seon away.
“Unbelievable… … !”
Yuk Cheol-wan rolled his eyes as if he could not believe what he saw.
That’s because Cheon Hae-seon’s attack route was not within the human realm.
Cheon Hae-seon just ascended through the air.
It’s not just about jumping high.
In fact, as if a path had been carved into the attack route, Cheon Hae-seon leaped through the air and turned his body upside down.
‘No way… … Did you apply the skill that used to run in the sky to battle?’
Yuk Cheol-wan’s judgment was accurate.
Cheon Hae-seon, whose ‘Dogbo’ level rose to level 3, was able to take flight by stepping on the air.
It was a skill called Sky Walk.
What if this skill was used ‘in combat’ rather than ‘while moving’?
It is possible to create extraordinary attack angles at 360 degrees, front, rear, left and right.
Cheon Hae-seon’s thoughts had reached that point, and the results of his efforts were unfolding here and now.
Of course, since I only recently learned it, there were some limitations.
“Tsk.”
After finishing the attack, Cheon Hae-seon quenched his appetite.
It was not a bad result considering it was my first time using it in real life.
However, because Cheon Hae-seon’s original purpose was not ‘shoulders’, his expression is not good.
‘I was trying to cut your throat.’
A strike performed while standing upside down in the air was several times more difficult than on flat ground.
Cheon Hae-seon thought he had aimed precisely at the neck, but the result was about two spans off.
‘Well, that might be enough.’
-Big.
Blood of a foul color gushes out like a fountain from Gugeon’s shoulder.
Since I was stabbed by a sword containing condensed Merus, there was no way I could recover.
‘Maybe it will get eaten up by Merus and fall like this… … .’
Pow!
Cheon Hae-seon laughed bitterly at Gu Geon’s unexpected behavior.
‘… … There is no way.’
As his body was consumed by Merus’ energy, Gugeon ripped off his shoulder.
Tongue.
Something about the size of a small child’s body fell to the ground.
I couldn’t even imagine how terrible the pain must have been.
Gu Geon’s ferocious face became even more crumpled, and he used his other arm to send shock waves everywhere.
bang!!
“Ugh… … !!”
Yukcheolwan, standing in front of Maria holding a shield device, let out a short groan.
Even though I was blocking it with a shield from this far away, it was this much of an impact.
Even now he doesn’t even have one arm.
Yuk Cheol-Wan had already competed against him in a ranking match, but Gu Geon-i’s strength seemed several times different from then.
‘Is this the end?’
On the other hand, Cheon Hae-seon was thinking the same thing as he watched Gu Geon sinking.
Although Goo Geon’s power was incredible, the tide was already tilted.
Cheonhaeseon’s Merus works, but Guguni’s magic and ether do not.
Are you saying that they took him to the demon world just to create this situation?
Compared to the power of the Dudek he faced earlier, Gugeon was nothing more than a ‘pet’.
Suddenly!
Sigh!
Gu Geon was once again helpless against Cheon Hae-seon, who was attacking through the air rather than the ground.
This time, because I intentionally stabbed myself in the chest, I couldn’t rip off any part of my body.
After allowing several attacks, Gu Geon finally fell to the floor with a thud.
-Krrr… … .
“I did it… … !”
Yuk Cheol-wan was so happy that he raised both his hands.
And Maria still had an expressionless face, not taking her eyes off Gu Geon.
‘You’ll think it’s a failure. maybe.’
Just as Cheon Hae-seon was thinking about this while looking at Gu Geon writhing on the floor,
Sigh.
Something rose up behind Gu Geon’s back.
“… … ?”
A pair of wide, thin organs that glow purple.
‘wing… … ?’
That wasn’t the only change.
A thick, long horn sprouted from Gugeon’s forehead.
The real reason the demons took Gugeon away.
That has finally manifested itself here.
Doo doo doo doo.
With Gu Geon’s change, the earth of the spirit world begins to shake.
It was an unbelievable fluctuation created by the energy of a single living thing.
Cheon Hae-seon was dumbfounded by the shaking ground, but kept an eye on the changes in Gu Geon’s condition.
It was as if he was about to be reborn as a new being.
‘for example… … It’s like some kind of awakening… … .’
Phew.
Cheon Hae-seon could not continue his thoughts.
This is because Gugeon suddenly rushed at him and stuck his horn into his abdomen.
“Hunter!!!!!!!!!!”
Maria’s screams echoed across the now quiet earth.
