Bloody Battle (1)

It wasnt just Han-bin and his party that were visible.

Two things stood out more than they did.

One was the body of the Divine Kruse Murg.

The other was the tomb of the Sword King next to it.

Both were huge events that would cause a stir in the entire continent of Latna.

Nevertheless, they didnt seem to be interested in those at all.

When Almara saw the silver-haired girl standing next to a beautiful woman with black hair, she looked at Arthur.

Is that the Goddess incarnation?

Arthur nodded, looking at the beautiful black-haired girl standing next to the silver-haired girl.

No doubt about it. Race Goddess. Level unknown.

Saltus murmured with joy.

Our reasoning was right. As expected, shes the incarnation of Darkness.

There was quite a serious misunderstanding, but no one realized it.

The same was true of Han-bins party.

Artis mumbled.

Tracers of the Thunder King.

It was not difficult to guess who they were.

They must be Aliens, considering how they had recognized her race and level. He said the word Goddess incarnation.

Out of habit, Ryu Han-bin checked the levels of his opponents.

His face stiffened.

Kibie couldnt help but feel curious due to his reaction.

Whats their level?

99, 98, 99.

For Gods sake.

Artis and Effirs facial expressions also hardened.

Their levels were higher than what Han-bins group imagined.

Fortunately, the duo who followed them were relatively low-level.

However, that was only comparative to an extent.

The white-haired woman was a level 82 Mage, and the man next to her was a level 79 Spiritist.

Even they were difficult for Artis and Effir to deal with, considering their own levels.

Artis smiled wryly, clutching his staff.

I dont have any choice but to fight. I dont want to rely entirely on Han-bin.

Effir pulled out her double swords and murmured.

Why do we always meet stronger enemies when were raising our levels?

Almara, a white-haired woman, beckoned at Arthur.

Take the incarnation and kill the rest.

Arthur pulled a long sword from his side.

Of course.

Jason and Lesil also stepped forward, their steps heavily hitting the ground.

Both of them looked excited about the upcoming slaughter.

He glared at Artis and Effir and smacked his lips.

Both of them are over level 70. The pleasure reward must be pretty good.

And he

The two turned to Ryu Han-bin, causing them to become puzzled.

What? Whats wrong with his level?

Level 5?

* * *

The opponents concentration was disrupted.

Ryu Han-bin didnt miss the opportunity.

Huh!

He charged forward with a loud warcry.

At the same time, he swung the red Blade Aura furiously.

-Crosscut!

His target was the female Mage called Lesil.

He continued his attack.

Gasp!

Surprised, Lesil unleashed her magic.

Blink!

Blink, a short-distance spatial movement spell, was activated, moving her to a place about 10 meters away.

Han-bins horizontal cut hit the bottom of the dungeon.

Boom!

With a roar, the streets shook as if there was an earthquake.

At that moment, the faces of their enemies hardened.

What?

Hes not a regular guy!

Of course, they didnt even think Han-bin would be level 5.

He was using Blade Aura.

But he was much stronger than expected!

Lesil, who barely escaped, stared at Ryu Han-bin in a cold sweat.

No wonder people call you a Valtara warrior. You are in such a hurry

His power was enormous, but the pre-action was too big.

Thanks to that, she was able to avoid his attack in advance.

Arthur and Jason began to surround Ryu Han-bin.

Youre strong as the blood of the Sword King, but youre inexperienced.

Looking at you, and theres no point in surprising us, is there?

Watching the three Aliens who surrounded him, Ryu Han-bin was inwardly satisfied.

You got baited.

The Crosscut wasnt a surprise attack.

It was a performance.

They had more people.

Except for Ryu Han-bin, their teammates level was much higher.

In that battle, it was hard to guarantee that Artis and Effir would survive.

So Han-bin went out first.

Despite not being in a position to surprise them, he delivered Blade Aura with all his might even though he knew it would miss the opponents.

He didnt even hope to kill a single foe with it. All that mattered was that even if he failed, hed still imprint himself as a formidable opponent.

Indeed, as intended, he focused the attention of the enemies on him.

Arthur and Lesil asked him as if they couldnt understand.

How did you change your level? I didnt hear of Valtara warriors having that ability.

Is it the power of the Goddess incarnation?

Han-bin didnt answer back.

Instead, he glanced at the young man with dark brown hair and the white-haired woman a little further away.

They kept a close watch on Kibie, Artis, and Effir without intervening in the battle.

Arent those two moving? Judging from the atmosphere, I dont think they are Earthlings

A moment ago, the white-haired woman asked Arthur for confirmation if she was the Goddess incarnation.

In other words, she couldnt identify her opponents levels with the Guideline.

The brown-haired youth was also more likely not to be an Alien.

Looking at the atmosphere and their conversation, they seemed divided into two groups.

The trio participating in the battle didnt hide the fact that they were Aliens, while the duo stood back and watched everything unfold before them.

If that young man were an Alien, he wouldnt have had to ask someone who doesnt look very close to him.

In any case, the two were unlikely to intervene immediately.

Well, their levels were not high enough to join the battle in the first place.

Then I need to handle these three in front of me first!

Ryu Han-bin conjured Aura.

-Aura Boost!

His Aura became a red flame and rose violently all over the muscular giant.

Ahhhhhhhh!

* * *

His copper muscles grew bigger and turned his formidable force into destructive power.

His whole body became covered in a red Aura as he struck the enemy in front of him.

Yap!

Arthur quickly pulled up his own Aura to block it.

The purple sword collided with Ryu Han-bins greatsword, causing a shockwave to reverberate.

Boom!

Arthurs knee bent down hard.

The opponents sword pushed him.

Argh!

He felt embarrassed.

Are you better than me? Im a Level 99 Magic Swordsman. Damn.

Whats your real level, dude?

In a hurry, he fired an Aura Strike.

More than a dozen Aura spheres turned into shells, aiming for Han-bin.

Han-bin did not avoid it.

Instead, he put his right hand forward.

He used the same skill!

-Aura Strike!

Boom!

Dozens of Aura spheres collided with each other, causing a series of explosions.

Jasons Spiritual art continued through the thick smoke.

The protection of Althea will be upon him!

A subtle light shone on Arthur and Lesil.

It was a defensive art, creating an armor of white light.

Lesils magic followed it.

Take this! Prominence Blast!

Arthur also fired a Blade Aura.

-Aura Smash!

A gigantic fireball soared towards Han-bins left side, while the violet ray of destruction aimed for his right side.

It was a powerful pincer attack.

Ryu Han-bin walked as he strengthened his body.

-Armor Aura!

The Prominence Blast hit him from behind.

Using its explosive power, Han-bin accelerated himself and attacked Arthur with a frontal charge!

!

Arthurs eyes opened widely.

He missed the timing that time.

A red Blade Aura cut through his shoulder.

Urgh!

Blood rose and evaporated in the air.

Without Jasons defensive Spiritual art, it wouldve been powerful enough to sever his arm completely.

Covering his shoulder, Arthur faltered back.

St-strong.

However, Ryu Han-bin wasnt safe either.

He took Lesils magic with his body.

Oh, I shouldnt have been so brave

As expected, the level 99 Mage was no joke.

His entire back was tanned, and the shock dissipated in his intestines.

Nevertheless, he could not show weakness in front of his enemies.

Trying to look cool, Han-bin straightened his back.

Lesil and Jason were amazed at his unwavering appearance that was like a steel tower.

Hes fine? He was hit by my magic directly.

What kind of monster

Arthurs expression grew serious.

I have no choice but to admit it. Hes on a higher level than I am.

A purple flame began to rise from his whole body.

But hes not strong enough to beat the three of us.

* * *

Arthur, Lesil, and Jason surrounded Ryu Han-bin with a triangular formation.

Arthur dashed across the ground.

Die!

He swung the Blade Aura continuously, carrying out a disciplined and fierce sword technique.

-Chain Attack!

It was a level 95 sword skill listed in the Guideline.

How dare?

Han-bin also made a counterattack.

The black greatsword danced with Arthurs sword.

A series of melee fights ensued.

At that moment, Arthurs long sword, which hit down, was forced to bounce up.

His purple light burst towards Ryu Han-bins chin.

-Counter beheading!

Argh!

At the moment, Han-bin, who was caught off-guard, turned around and stabbed him deeply with his greatsword.

Bam!

Both attacked each others vital points.

Their attacks narrowly missed.

Ryu Han-bins chest and Arthurs cheeks were cut, causing them to bleed.

Arthur frowned as he touched his cheek.

I cant believe you avoided that

Han-bins face was also firm.

Its different from when I was in Highten.

Like the novice Aliens, whom he met in the dungeon city of Highten, Arthur was also using the Guideline of swordsmanship.

It meant that he didnt learn swordsmanship with his body but learned it by pressing a button in a game.

But its very natural.

Just like Ryu Han-bin, he didnt seem used to utilizing a few swordsmanships.

There were awkward parts compared to his stabs, horizontal cuts, and vertical cuts.

Rather than that, Arthur got used to the use of skills itself.

In terms of playing games, Han-bin felt like Arthur was good at pressing a button in time.

Does that mean youre a master in everything you do in less than a decade?

They entered a lull.

Lesil, who had been waiting for an opportunity, raised her staff and unleashed her magic.

Reverse Gravity! Hammer of Storm! Chain Lightning! Prominence Flame!

out all at the same time.

At that moment, the soles of his feet become empty, and his body slightly floated.

An air hammer flew toward Han-bin, whose movement was controlled, and a chain of lightning was tied around him. A pillar of fire also blazed its way towards him.

Damn!

Shouting out curses, Ryu Han-bin swung his weapon wildly.

He wouldve had no choice but to use his body in the past, but now he could also use the Aura.

He could break the magic spells with Blade Aura.

Boom!

The crimson radiance fluttered in all directions, bursting into an explosive roar.

At the same time, Han-bin escaped from the influence of Reverse Gravity.

A loophole!

With a remorseful smile, Arthur struck Ryu Han-bins heart.

He then evoked a thunder-like attack.

-Enraged Dragon Charge!

His posture, weight shift, Aura operation, flow, and transfer of forces, were all in perfect synchrony with each other, producing the fastest and most powerful devastation he could create.

It was only natural.

The Guideline replicated the ideal offensive on its own.

All Arthur had to do was measure the timing and distance.

Die, you monster!

Arthurs formidable blow surged towards Ryu Han-bins chest.

Swiftly, Han-bin quickly threw himself back, but it was a little late.

The purple light cut deep into his thick chest muscles.

Boom!

A groan finally flowed out of Ryu Han-bins tightly closed mouth as he bled.

Argh!
