Episode 242
Doo doo doo doo.
The thin vibrations of the earth gradually become stronger.
Accordingly, the hunters’ heartbeats gradually increased.
Mine and Chimera.
And even an awakened chimera called ‘Exci’.
The opponent you will soon face will be the toughest enemy in human history.
“I’ll tell you in advance, use all your strength right from the start.”
Cheon Hae-seon gave a word of advice to the hunters behind him.
Pure magical power without dimensional interference.
It will be a completely different concept from the battles so far.
It would be nice if he could kill a demon in one go like he did, but there was a high probability that that would not happen in the future.
“I’ll tell you in advance… … .”
Silia stood next to Cheon Hae-seon.
Is it to prevent Cheon Hae-seon from fighting like a maverick?
However, Cylia’s next words overturned everyone’s expectations.
“Ethers is mine.”
“?!”
This time, Cheon Hae-seon also had to ask back with a shocked expression on his face.
“what?”
“Ethers is mine. “I have to get revenge for what happened last time.”
“her… … .”
Cylia has clearly grown.
Whether or not Merus can be used in a fight against a demon is as different as heaven and earth.
But this is the 7th floor of the stairs to hell.
And Ethers was a higher-ranking demon than Dudek, whom Cheon Hae-seon defeated earlier.
‘It would be meaningless to ask whether I can do it.’
Cheon Hae-seon smiled bitterly as he looked at Cylia’s brightly burning pupils.
If you have this fighting spirit, you have long since passed the stage of persuading people with words.
When it comes to battle, she shows an obsession that borders on madness.
It was because she had been keeping it tightly wrapped up for so long, but the fact that she was completely defeated in the battle with Ethers seemed to have hurt her feelings the whole time.
“I’ll intervene just when you’re out of breath.”
“Don’t intervene even if you’re out of breath.”
“That’s troublesome. “How many hunters are under you?”
Sailina snorted, ‘Hmph.’
My gaze was still fixed on the cave entrance.
“come.”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
-Kwaaaaaah.
Now, the chimera’s roar can be heard clearly in my ears.
The hunters pulled out ether to its limit and prepared for the coming battle.
Pababababat.
Thump thump thump thump.
Strange creatures poured out like a flood from the entrance of a large cave.
My guess was that there were a hundred people, but it seemed like there were actually more than that.
The scene of large bodies mixing together and jumping out like a flood was beyond bizarre.
“Magma Arrow!”
Bub bub bung.
One esper had already taken out his secret weapon towards the cave entrance.
He faithfully followed Cheon Hae-seon’s words to do his best from the beginning.
-Keeeeeeek!!!
A large hole opened in the middle of the chimera group.
Although there was no chimera that was so fatal that the word “big game” was meaningless, it at least had the effect of slowing down their forward speed.
‘Thunderbolt Sword’
Gurgling.
Chen’s thunderbolt sword sweeps past the left side of the group.
This time, several chimeras were torn in two.
‘Argentum Gauntlet-Four’
bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire upper body of a chimera approaching towards the Esper and Healer was blown away.
Surprisingly, the skill that Yukcheolwan activated did not contain even 1g of Merus.
The chimera was blown away in one fell swoop with only the pure power of condensed ether.
Previously, this single shot would have caused a huge loss of stamina, but now Yukcheolwan had grown to the point where he could shoot dozens of rounds from a gauntlet gun(?) without any damage.
This is thanks to receiving the dagger’s buff and mixing Merus with ether, thereby achieving several times growth.
‘amazing.’
Kang Jeong-hyeon stared at the battlefield in front of him with wide eyes.
I thought my colleagues had become stronger, but seeing them fight in person made me feel refreshed.
At least until now, the friendly forces’ offensive was continuing one-sidedly.

Ssssssss.
Is it because I became a cat for battle?
The stems of the anima flowers sprouting from Kang Jeong-hyeon’s shoulders have become much more abundant than before.
‘The person I need to send is… … .’
Kang Jeong-hyeon quickly checked the hunters’ situation.
There have been no hunters who need Merus yet.
“huh?”
Kang Jeong-hyeon, who was scanning all over the place, stopped at one place.
This is because while his colleagues were excitedly running through the hordes of chimeras, there was a hunter who was standing straight in place and only looking at the entrance to the cave.
“Sister Cylia… … .”
As she looked down at the entrance to the cave with her characteristic arrogant attitude, a faint smile soon spread across her lips.
“You’re here, you bastard.”
Gooooooooo.
Feeling the endlessly rising ether, Kang Jeong-hyeon had an intuition of where his Merus should go.
* * *
“Haaaaaap!”
“Kaaaa!!”
-Keez.
The hunters who passed Cheon Hae-seon’s test were doing their part as expected.
No, to be more precise, he was performing better than expected.
That was because of two reasons related to Cheon Hae-seon.
The first is the fighting ability he showed on his way here.
The sight of not only the boss mobs on each floor but also Dudek being annihilated in one go gave the hunters a great sense of excitement.
The so-called ‘can do’ mindset makes your body movements lighter and stronger.
The second is physical strength.
While coming down here, the hunters did not exhaust any of their stamina related to the battle.
Since I only had to focus on withstanding the dimensional interference, I was able to enter the battle in virtually full condition.
These two reasons created synergy, and ordinary(?) S-class hunters were merging with chimeras.
That is, until new beings emerge from within the cave.
-Krrrrr… … .
“!”
Just hearing the cries made me feel that they were different from the chimeras gathered here.
Chen and Yingsen instinctively aimed their skills at the cave entrance.
‘Aether Cremore.’
‘Thunderbolt Sword’
Quagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang.
Gurgling.
With a deafening roar, a huge chunk of ether flew towards the entrance.
It almost looked like they were trying to destroy the entrance itself, not the chimera.
-Kwaaaa!
A roar mixed with pain and anger is heard from inside the entrance.
And after a while.
A chimera in an ‘X-ski’ state with horns sprouting from its head jumped out at lightning speed.
Kang!!
thud!!!
Chen used the Pranium Sword, and Yingsen blocked the Awakened Chimera’s attack with the ether bunker he created.
Quick.
Although the pranium was fine, the ether bunker surrounding Ingsen’s body was slowly starting to crack.
‘Dangerous.’
A drop of sweat ran down Yingsen’s temple.
I can’t believe that his transcendent level skills would be destroyed so easily.
Not only was he powerful, but his movements were also fast.
The S-class knights gathered here felt like slugs.
‘then… … .’
Yingsen concentrated his mind and formed a halo of etheric light near the soles of his feet.
Soon, white ethereal thrusters appeared under his shoes.
Shuuuuuk.
As if a rocket had been launched, Yingsen’s body rose high into the sky.
Even Cheonhae-seon, which was fighting nearby, whistled.
“There was one more person who conquered the sky… … .”
Of course, contrary to what Cheon Hae-seon said, Ying Sen, who was in the air, did not look very free.
It only floated high, and could not move back and forth and left and right like Cheonhaeseon.
In the case of Ingsen, there is no need to move at all.
Sreuk.
Ying Sen closed his eyes and focused on the energy inside his body.
A golden light flashed through the pupil of my closed eyelids.
Soon, a large, pointed object was forming above his head in the air.
“What is that?”
“no way… … .”
“no way… … . “Probably not.”
The process of creating something large in the sky was something that would definitely attract the attention of hunters.
It was amazing, but the real reason was different.
This is because the ‘ether machine’ he created was in a very unstable form.
‘Merus missile.’
While floating in the air, Yingsen lowered one finger.
Soon, a missile the size of a house descended rapidly toward the ground.
“That crazy guy!”
“There was real madness, right?”
The hunters ran away from the missiles with dumbfounded faces.
However, the chimeras without intelligence just stared blankly at the incoming missiles.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!
“Ugh!”
Ingsen was confident that the hunters would see his missiles and avoid them.
No sane person would just stare at an incoming missile.
In the end, his judgment was correct, and he achieved a remarkable result, shattering not only the awakened chimeras that were charging at Chen and himself, but also dozens of nearby chimeras.
“I’m really crazy… … . Are you planning to kill them all?”
“This is transcendent level… … .”
The hunters were stunned by the power of the missile, but had to hold their tongues at Ingsen’s killing power.
He wanted to be called a scientist rather than a hunter, but the force he showed just moments ago was too devastating to be called a scientist.
Stumbling.
Yingsen’s body swayed once in the air.
Since he had already combined a huge missile with Merus, there was no way his internal power would be good.
“phew. “The booster almost went off.”
Thick beads of sweat formed on the top of Yingsen’s tall head.
He smiled bitterly and asked the hunters below.
“Two rooms is too much. “I’d like to ask you to do this.”
Too doo doo doo doo.
Due to the hunters’ activities, the number of chimeras decreased noticeably.
The number of chimeras that could not awaken fell to less than half, and even the chimeras that had entered the ‘X-ski’ state were wiped out in an instant.
Of course, there were a few injured hunters during this process, but Maria and the S-rank healers were healing them in real time.
If things continue like this, we can win the war without a single person dying.
It was a time when most hunters had such hopes.
Quick.
The sound of bones being smashed is heard along with an uncomfortable sound.
Kwasik!
two people.
Three people soon after.
Something so fast that it couldn’t even be seen was crushing the hunters near the entrance.
“what?”
“too fast… … !”
Just before the fourth hunter was hit by the lightning-quick attack,
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Two white ether chains merged to block the hunter’s path.
Kang!!!!!!!!!!!!
The clash of extreme ether and magical power caused sparks that made my eyes bleed.
“?!”
It was an attack so fast that he didn’t even realize he was the target of the attack, and the response was equivalent to that.
Hunter instinctively realized that he had no place in this battle.
He took a couple of steps back, and soon a blonde-haired woman took his place.
“See you again?”
-… … .
A white chain made of ether.
Cylia, wearing the ‘Catena’ in both hands, greeted the attacker.
She had been standing still since the battle began, waiting for her assailant to come out.
The attacker, Ethers, did not say anything in response to the energetic heroine’s greeting.
Unlike Dudek, they were the type that didn’t like to talk, and they were very displeased at the fact that their plan had been discovered.
‘Have my skills improved?’
Ethers looked up and down at Cylia, who was standing in an arrogant pose.
That was all I could think of.
I thought there would be no ‘human’ who could follow his own movements in a place without dimensional interference.
However, Cylia had grown unrecognizably in a short period of time.
The more ether you have, the more difficult it will be to combine with Merus, and as you go through hardships, your original skills will also increase.
Hana Ethers is also in a situation where he can demonstrate his professional skills.
Even though her skills improved, there was no guarantee that Cylia would win.
“Keep your promise.”
Silia reminded Cheon Hae-seon of the conversation about not intervening.
Cheon Hae-seon shrugged his shoulders after putting away one of the chimeras, and Silia, who saw this, kicked the ground and jumped towards Edus.
