Chapter 639

Translator: rainbowturtle

Hyeonu’s battle didn’t only affect Marquis Paya. For the other two nobles, the effect of Fighting Energy Emission and Dragon Fear affected them equally. The marquis fighting Tang-E was puzzled by his momentarily stiffened body and released a lot of magic power. It was a meaningless consumption of magic power.

Tang-E didn’t miss this opportunity and stretched his fist out to take the offensive. It was a blow aimed at this gap in magic power.

Reina’s situation was better than Tang-E’s. The magic spirit was an object that Hyeonu had to use his will to move. So it naturally knew the timing of Dragon Fear and Fighting Energy Emission. So the moment the magic spirit moved, Reina moved. Joint attacks were one of the basics needed to fight a strong opponent.

The magic spirit ran through the air and rushed at the marquis. Narrowing the distance in an instant, the magic spirit stretched out its front paw toward the marquis and released a thin solid line. Drawn in the air was a solid purple line that connected the magic spirit and marquis.

There was a loud explosion, and the marquis took a step back. Then the flowers of white ice flew toward the marquis who was moving in the air. At the same time, the surrounding area froze rapidly around Reina. It was the effect of her skill, which used magic power to amplify Reina’s stats and attack power in a certain area much like Hyeonu’s Area Proclamation.

As the ground froze, the ice flowers scattered a stronger pressure. The marquis swung his fist at Reina’s magic power, which quickly colored the space. Starting from where the marquis’ fist stopped, the space started to break like glass. It wasn’t just the space. Reina’s ice flowers also cracked slightly and broke.

However, the blow didn’t destroy everything. Some of the broken fragments of Reina’s ice flowers poured down toward the marquis. The dozens of fragments passed through his body, causing blood to gush out. It just wasn’t a very substantive attack. The fragments of ice flowers lost their power and unfortunately only cut the surface of the skin.

‘This thing!’ the marquis cursed inwardly. Nevertheless, it was enough to hurt the marquis’ pride because he bled when dealing with unexpected people.

‘If it wasn’t for that guy…’

He just didn’t show it on the outside as one of the nobles that came with him, Marquis Paya, had already died. So this marquis couldn’t take it lightly. He should never be careless as long as Hyeonu, the human being who killed Marquis Paya, was present.

‘Items…’ Hyeonu thought. Marquis Paya died, and his body disappeared shortly after. In its place was a small ring and a long sword inserted in a luxurious sheath.

‘I have to grab them all.’

Nonetheless, Hyeonu didn’t pick them up. It was because he knew he could be attacked the moment he did. Of course, Tang-E and Reina wouldn’t just sit back and watch, but there were always exceptions. Hyeonu thought of one way he could do this. Items didn’t disappear, and there was also no one to steal them. So it would be okay to kill the remaining two nobles first before looting them.

Hyeonu cared about the magic spirit, but he remained true to what he had to do and ultimately joined Tang-E’s battle. It was based on the judgment that it was better to work with Tang-E than the magic spirit and Reina.

Hyeonu’s judgment was right. Tang-E willingly welcomed Hyeonu. “Master dude, please help me.”

Tang-E found that fighting in the form of an adult human being was harder than expected. Moving with this body was different from what he had actually seen. He couldn’t fight like the strong people in his memory. Instead, he could only endure based on his powerful stats.

“What is this now? Are you fighting with that? Sigh…” Hyeonu sighed when he saw the magic power around Tang-E’s fist. It was clear that Hyeonu had a great influence on Tang-E doing such a thing. The gauntlets around Tang-E’s hands looked exactly like the ones Hyeonu created when he was in close combat.

“Watch and learn well. This is how you use it,” Hyeonu said. He inserted the Mysterious Sky Sword into the sheath and gently formed fists. Then purple gauntlets appeared around Hyeonu’s fists. Hyeonu lightly kicked off from the ground and flew like a bullet toward the marquis fighting Tang-E.

‘I need to remember this,’ Tang-E thought. He paid close attention to Hyeonu. How did Hyeonu move? How did he lead the battle?

‘I have to show it to Tang-E… I have to drag out the time appropriately,’ Hyeonu stated inwardly. It was very difficult to deliberately draw out a battle for a long time. If the difference in skill was certain, then perhaps it was possible. However, a battle against an opponent with a small difference in skill level could be over in an instant. It was because they were only one step apart from each other.

Hyeonu gently swung his fist at the marquis who was fighting with Tang-E. Hyeonu’s strike burst through the space. The marquis stretched out both hands in preparation for the shock coming toward him. Black magic power dyed the air like ink and collided with Hyeonu’s attack.

Meanwhile, Hyeonu quickly turned around and reached the marquis’ side. Hyeonu didn’t care if the marquis was hit by his first attack and just continued attacking. Hyeonu’s fist stretched out again. It was a clean, straight line. This time, there was one difference from before. His fist was thrown out in a straight line, but the purple pure energy swung from left to right and flew away.

‘What is this…?’ The marquis looked very flustered. He had expected Hyeonu’s pure energy to fly in a straight line, so he couldn’t help being surprised that it curved differently from the movement of the fist. However, this feeling was only temporary. The marquis quickly reached out and deflected Hyeonu’s pure energy. Then he charged at Hyeonu.

“You are just a human!” He was angry without acknowledging that he was astonished and frightened by the human’s attack. The marquis’ attack was fierce and fast. He aimed at Hyeonu’s body in a quick and strong manner.

The marquis’ and Hyeonu’s fists kept colliding. The marquis punched wildly in order to hit Hyeonu, but Hyeonu wasn’t hit even once. Sometimes, he stopped that marquis’ attack at such a close interval that it was thrilling. Other times, the marquis simply couldn’t stretch out his fist.

‘This is how to fight.’ Tang-E realized many things when he saw Hyeonu and the marquis’ quick battle. In the past, he just thought that Hyeonu fought well. Now the more he knew, the more powerful he could see Hyeonu was.

“Damn, Master dude. You fight very well,” Tang-E muttered to himself in a small voice. It was small enough that no one else could hear it.

***

‘How interesting.’

Hyeonu thought that the melee combat with the marquis was more interesting than expected. He had been fighting to show Tang-E, but it had been a long time since he forgot his intention. Hyeonu gradually increased his tempo against the marquis, who rushed in without being able to catch his breath properly.

Then Hyeonu used his magic power generously. Skills such as Summon a Giant Sword weren’t available, but he used Mysterious Sky Range and Mysterious Sky Demonic Strength freely.

10 purple lines were released from Hyeonu’s finger, firing at the marquis with different trajectories. The distance between the two of them was very short, so the pure energy Hyeonu released reached the marquis almost instantaneously. The marquis immediately raised his magic power to defeat Hyeonu’s pure energy and alleviate the impact. He just couldn’t stop everything. Large and small explosions occurred all over the marquis’ torso.

“Groan…!” a groan of pain emerged from the marquis’ mouth. It was unbearable pain.

‘What type of magic power is this?’ the marquis questioned inwardly. Hyeonu’s unstoppable magic power ate at the marquis’ body in an instant. It hurt and caused the marquis pain that he couldn’t define. The pain even hindered his operation of magic power. Every time the marquis moved the magic power, it ate at the magic power little by little.

Meanwhile, Hyeonu attempted an additional attack. He used Mysterious Sky Steps and quickly approached the marquis, extending his purple-tinged fists.

There was the sound of something bursting, and the marquis’ body soared high into the air. The marquis’ magic power operation was disturbed by the pain caused by the magic power Hyeonu left in the marquis’ body. In this condition, the marquis couldn’t respond to Hyeonu’s attack.

Hyeonu’s attack was too fast for the marquis to handle with just his physical abilities alone. While the marquis floated slightly in the air, Hyeonu punched the marquis’ abdomen. The purple gauntlets surrounding his fists pierced the marquis’ body, and blood flowed from the marquis’ torn abdomen.

Hyeonu drove a wedge into the marquis. Mysterious Sky Range was very small and created the same effect as Tang-E swinging his nails. Purple blades dug into the marquis’ entire body. Four rows of furrow-like grooves appeared on the marquis’ body, but they were filled with blood instead of water.

The marquis fell backward while bleeding, and he never got up again.

[The demon world marquis, Rudubit, has been defeated.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All health and magic power have been restored.]

[Demon noble killed 21/???]

Hyeonu looked at the messages that appeared in front of him. The enormous amount of experience offered by Marquis Rudubit matched his identity as a marquis of the demon world. Considering that Hyeonu leveled up when he killed Marquis Paya, this meant he had already gained two levels.

‘That’s right!’

Just then, Hyeonu recalled one fact. The battle hadn’t ended yet. Three nobles had showed up. Hyeonu had killed two and one remained.

‘I didn’t care about the magic spirit…’

“What is this?”

Hyeonu was so immersed in the battle with Marquis Rudubit that he had forgotten to move the magic spirit. The magic spirit couldn’t move without Hyeonu’s will. Strictly speaking, the magic spirit wasn’t a creature with an ego. It was Hyeonu’s magic power that took a shape.

“So why is it fighting so well now alone?”

It was now fighting in perfect cooperation with Reina.

‘Now that I’m looking, I can see that my magic power is slowly being consumed.’

It wasn’t a large amount, so he didn’t notice it until he paid attention. However, he felt it when he was watching the magic spirit fight.

‘It is filled after it is consumed. Thus, I didn’t know.’

Magic power was restored as the magic spirit drew it. This was due to the item that had the effect of restoring physical strength and mana in proportion to the amount of damage. Thus, it was even harder to detect since his magic power wasn’t constantly decreasing.

“What the hell happened…?”

Hyeonu stood still and watched the battle with the magic spirit and Reina.
