Chapter 244 - This is Africa (4)

Kang Shin-hyuk immediately produced the potion Claire had prepared for him (she wanted to make five, but she was short on ingredients, so she could only make two).

‘It might get harder later if I drink it right now, so let’s be patient.’

If possible, it would be best to stop it before the gate opened, but they had to suppress Bomber Girl over there to do that. No, it would be better to kill her if possible. It wouldn’t be the first time he killed a traitor to humanity.

-700,000HP bonus from the administrator who was impressed by your hard-boiled lines!

“Please take this.”

Kang Shin-hyuk ignored the administrator’s admiration and presented Bridget Poulsen with the Great Heavenly Spirit.

“What is it?”

“The treasure that prevents that grandma from attacking.”

“You called me grandma again!”

Bomber Girl forgot herself in her anger and again exploded the mana around Kang Shin-hyuk and Bridget. Of course, it once again was sucked into the orb in Bridget’s hands.

‘Isn’t this pretty good? It’s not particularly efficient for her, and the orb is absorbing the high concentration of mana.’

-But no matter how stupid you are, you will realize that simple attacks don’t work anymore.

Indeed, just as he said, Bomber Girl tried to attack by transforming her magic in other ways before stepping back. Bridget looked at the orb in her hand with wide eyes as it absorbed and stored all of her mana.

“Isn’t this invincible?”

“It isn’t. It won’t work well against magic that’s already been shaped. However, it can be said to be a hard counter for enemies that attack by altering the magic itself.”

That alone, Bridget thought, made it a treasure that had never been seen before. She couldn’t help but admire Kang Shin-hyuk, who casually handed her such a valuable item. Moreover, it seems like he had more than just one or two items like this...

“Are you a leprechaun? What will keep coming out from you?”

“Take that and charge; she can’t possibly hurt you.”

“Oh, thank you for canceling my fear.”

Bridget had to keep Bomber Girl in check for them to fix this situation. Kang Shin-hyuk was determined, and she noticed his resolve, so she moved according to his judgment.

“Play with me, grandma!”

“So insolent!”

Bomber Girl knew that the orb in Bridget’s hand would seal her power, even though she was furious over their taunts. Barely calming her mind, she manipulated the flow of mana in her body to move away, followed fiercely by Bridget.

“Where are you running?!”

“You child...!”

“I suppose so, compared to you.”

“Oh!”

Bridget’s light provocation caused Bomber Girl to stop in place. Bridget briefly thought, ‘Huh? Just this much?’ before putting her strength in her arms and stretching it forward. When the condensed wave hit Bomber Girl, she stretched out her arms. Her trait was exerted against the magical power that attacked her, successfully stopped most of the vibrations that Bridget sent out.

“I heard that you’re a new top ranker, but is that all? Did you reach the top ranks just by shaking that chest?”

“You’re jealous, grandma? There’s nothing good about having big breasts. Stiff shoulders, limited clothing... oh, but the suit you’re wearing might look a little better on me. Would you like to try it?”

“Jealousy? I wanted to keep myself in this shape!”

“Yeah, yes, a little grandma with a small, sagging chest.”

“I will kill you!”

Bridget was doing very well, causing untold trauma to Bomber Girl. Most of her attacks were being absorbed by the Great Heavenly Spirit, whereas Bridget’s attacks were being nullified by Bomber Girl’s trait. In other words, they were fully occupied with each other.

‘Okay, she’s doing well.’

Kang Shin-hyuk finished his work while she sealed off Bomber Girl’s attacks. First, he captured all the humans in black clothing. It didn’t matter if he killed them right away, but he needed information about Zeus from them, so he soundly broke their limbs and threw them to the ground.

‘We need to get out of here.’

The simplest way to go about that would be to clear the gate. To determine its condition, he sent out his spiritual power in all directions to determine the source. He thought it would be a timed gate, but fortunately, that wasn’t the case. There was an enormous amount of energy at the center of the volcano... if he took care of that, the gate would be released naturally.

‘Taking care of the boss... administrator, will that gate remain closed in the meantime? What would happen to it if this gate were cleared before it opened?’

-As you say, the gate hasn’t been completed yet. It seems that she was trying to accelerate the summoning time by using her magical alteration ability... it would take ten minutes or so without her help.

‘Ten minutes is enough.’

-You could do it in three. 800,000HP bonus!

‘At least give me some time!’

He sighed and kept moving his hand. Threads moved throughout the gate to understand its information and create a special structure to protect the mercenaries while he went for the boss. No more monsters had attacked, but that could easily change once the boss appeared.

“Onyx, can you take care of it?”

-Myu?!

Onyx fluttered around as he was suddenly burdened with a heavy responsibility, and the soul thread wrapped around him like armor. It wasn’t possible before due to a lack of spiritual power, but originally the Soul Connector’s ability was to reinforce oneself or allies with the thread like this. Kang Shin-hyuk always wore the artifact, so his status had increased, but he could apply it to others like this. If he added his guardian Golden Dragon to him, Onyx became a monster that surpassed the SS-rank.

-Myu, myu?!

“How about it? It’s worth trying.”

-Myuuuu... myu!

With the threads placed around the area, Onyx could block the enemies just fine. He patted Onyx and jumped away. Bomber Girl belatedly noticed him summoning the blue cow and rushing straight towards the volcano, but she couldn’t escape Bridget.

“Why do you think I’m here? I’ll really kill you!”

“You can’t look at me with such passionate eyes. I already have a man!”

The blue cow was absurdly fast. Kang Shin-hyuk reached the volcanic crater in an instant, and brief memories of another world flashed through his mind as he watched the lava boil.

“I have to start right away.”

He took out the Shinfeng orb and Water orb. Using the two orbs, a cold wind began to pour down the lava.

-Kwaaaaaoooooh!

A monster screamed as it burst out of the lava. It was a giant bear with lava flowing through its body.

-The boss monster, Magma Giant Bear (SSS-), has appeared! Look out!

“Wow, what a straight-forward name.”

-300,000HP bonus!

Originally, it would only appear after catching the queen bee commanding the swarm, but he couldn’t afford to wait for that now. As a result of creating a storm of cold that could freeze the entire volcano, the Magma Giant Bear appeared. Of course, more bees began to spread out over the island, but Onyx could protect the party for a while.

-Quaaaaaa!

The lava boiling in the crater gushed up and poured down toward Kang Shin-hyuk as the bear raised its arms. It wasn’t normal lava, but rather lava reinforced by mana.

“Yeah, thank you for coming out with all your strength!”

However, Kang Shin-hyuk wasn’t an ordinary superhuman anymore. Two more orbs rolled out of his inventory: the Earth orb and the Orb of Nephritis! As the powers of earth and fire mixed together, the massive lava vortex twisted in the air and turned back towards the bear.

-Kuuuh!

It let out a pained scream as it took the attack head-on. The lava was imbued by the power of the orbs, so even a monster that lived in the lava couldn’t fully avoid damage.

“Woah, that was easy.”

-Member, you’re not just dealing with the power of the orbs.

“The power of the orbs is my strength!”

Kang Shin-hyuk put the Shinfeng orb in his belt and used the water orb to create another massive storm of cold air. It smashed into the body of the bear, who was already injured from the lava. Its body began to harden and crumble in places.

“I won’t be called the Dark Master anymore, right?”

-I think you’ll be nicknamed the Elemental Master instead.

Kang Shin-hyuk ignored the administrator and used the orbs’ power to grind away at the monster’s body.

-Kuoooooooh!

“The volcano is collapsing!”

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Shouts were coming from the mercenaries. However, once the bear died, they would be able to escape, so they didn’t need to worry about it. However, Gunner’s master, Tylo Kaube, was assaulting his friends.

“What?”

-Myuuuuu!

Fortunately, Onyx blocked him before it was too late, but the thread net was broken...

-Kiiiii!

-Kiii!

“Uh?!”

“Now!”

The bees across the island rushed to attack the ship at that opportunity, and Bridget instinctively turned to protect them. Mizushima Yuki quickly rushed to the gate as Bridget turned away.

“Wow.”

Kang Shin-hyuk sighed as the gate began to activate.

“They said there were no traitors among the mercenaries...”

The battle entered the second phase.
