A three-way battle began with the sudden appearance of demons.

Suho and Esil looked at each other momentarily.

Their eyes light up.

Thud!

They jumped out in opposite directions and started hunting the demons.

If Suho sliced ​​the bodies of demons whole with Vulcan‘s Horn, Esil stuck her spear into the demons‘ bodies like a skewer.

There was a stark difference between the two.

The demons killed by Suho were horribly disintegrated, sprinkling black blood, and Vulcan‘s Horn devoured the ‘demon‘s soul‘.

Meanwhile, the demons killed by Esil‘s spear sucked all the blood from their bodies and dried them up like mummies.

“Ha. After all, demon blood is the best.“

The eldest daughter of the Radiru Clan, the pinnacle of all demons.

Esil, the only remaining demon noble.

She continued to suck the demons‘ blood with a most ecstatic smile.

Even when she first set foot on Earth, Esil‘s power was only at the level of a C-Class monster.

The reason was that she had been chased by other demons for a long time and had her own blood got sucked. The lost power could only be recovered through blood as it is now.

[You have defeated a lower level demon!]

[You have defeated a lower level demon!]

[You have defeated a lower level demon!]

[‘Item: Vulcan’s Horn‘ devours the demon‘s soul.]

“Can I level up a bit this time?“

Suho hoped there was at least one more demon lurking there.

“Kyaaaaaagh!“

[These are extremely weak and humble servants. It‘s such a shame that I tried to do business with these guys in my lifetime.]

Quay looked at the demons as if they were filth, and brutally slaughtered them with the feeling of erasing one by one his dirty past.

In that melee, Lim Dokyoon…

[…]

“…“

He was hiding behind the palm-sized Beru, trembling.

“Sung Suho! I asked if these were all summoned by you!“

“What kind of nonsense was that person talking about?“

Even in the midst of that, Esil clicked her tongue as she watched Lee Youngho yell at Suho in the gaps between defeating the demons.

However, as the number of demons gradually increased, Lee Youngho eventually realized it.

“No, wait! These guys are demons!“

It was a bit late to realize.

Seeing all of those guys‘ faces covered with crow masks, an information came to his mind.

The stardust factory that the Hunter Association was eagerly looking for.

Accordingly, the ones who made it were demons.

“Hahaha! It’s here! There’s probably a reward for finding this place, right?“

“Oh! Would you like to make some pocket money?“

Upon confirming that the identities of the monsters that appeared were demons, the eyes of the members of the Hyeonmu Guild gleamed with greed.

They came all the way there because of their manager. It was such a pity to kill a kid and go back empty-handed, but it rather turned out so well.

“Listen everyone! For now, leave Sung Suho alone and deal with the demons first!“

“Got it!“

“Besides, that kid will die on his own even if we don‘t touch him… Huh?“

They belatedly discovered Suho hunting demons and their eyes widened.

“… T-That’s…brutal.“

“Chief. Didn‘t you say he was a C-Class summoning hunter?“

“Is he holding a pair of knives and cutting them?“

Slaughterer.

The only thing that came to their mind was that word.

Suho, covered in black blood all over his body, was slaughtering demons like he was a demon himself.

Grumble!

Above their heads, lightning struck in the dry sky.

“Oh my…!“

Everyone looked up.

Surprisingly, there was a huge demon looking down on them from above that jungle.

“Hey, wait!“

“Just what‘s in this D-Class dungeon…?!“

Lee Youngho was frightened and surged the mana through his whole body.

“Everyone, stay alert! It’s at least B-Class! No, it‘s an A-Class beast!“

His gaze was precise.

[Transcendent Mid-Level Demon]

“Crazy.“

Suho‘s senses stats were sending out warnings violently at the overwhelming energy that made his whole body shudder.

‘This is at least Quay, no, it‘s at Lee Minseong’s level.‘

As the current Quay became a shadow soldier, he was in a weakened version compared to Lee Minseong.

But the aura he felt from that gigantic demon was at a similar level to Lee Minseong.

‘What does it mean by transcendent?‘

“How could this happen…“

Beside him, Esil was gritting her teeth more ferociously than ever before.

“That guy is a demon who ingested the blood of a demon noble.“

“Your blood?“

Suho‘s eyes widened and he looked back at Esil.

“Even if it‘s not mine, it must be the blood of someone in my family.“

Esil‘s whole body gushed out a tremendous amount of aura, and it was shot straight toward the mid-level demon.

Swish-!

The tip of Esil‘s spear flew toward its heart, but the demon pulled out a whole tree beside it and swung it at her.

Swoosh!

“…!“

Unable to dodge the attack, Esil‘s body bounced off to the side.

However, even the Hyeonmu Guild was swept away by the attack. Nearby trees hit them in a chain reaction.

“Eh?!“

“Move away!“

The members of the Hyeonmu Guild were frightened and they scattered.

Even at that moment, low-level demons were attacking from all sides.

“Ack!“

In the end, several members of the Hyeonmu Guild were decapitated.

Seeing this, Lee Youngho‘s eyes lit up with rage.

“How dare you!“

Lee Youngho‘s sword tore the demons apart.

Even though he was taken aback by the sudden situation, those demons were only at C-Class level.

As a B-Class, he had the confidence to deal with any number of those guys.

Besides, no matter what, it would be a disgrace for the Hyeonmu Guild to be defeated by those.

“That‘s why I usually told you to train hard! Those who die from things like this are idiots!“

Even when his men died, he rather blamed them for their weakness.

The problem was the big beast.

‘I can never catch that on my own.‘


Infamous Scans


It would be possible if the subordinates pulled some time up front.

Cooperation of several hunters against strong monsters.

That was the basis of the raid, and the most important final blow was what the strongest of them had to do.

To do so, they needed tanks to take the lead and withstand the attack instead.

“Attack all at once!“

“What?! That beast?“

“I will take him down! Hold on for one minute!“

As soon as he gave the order, Lee Youngho began to concentrate all his mana on one area.

Even if it took some time, he was confident that he could cut off at least one of the monster’s legs with his skill.

‘The basic plan is to attack that big guy from the legs first!‘

“Aaaaaaah!“

As mana began to surge on Lee Youngho‘s body, the members of the Hyeonmu Guild rushed towards the ‘transcendent mid-level devil‘ with all their might.

Grumble!

Lightning struck again in the dry sky.

It wasn‘t just an abnormal climate.

The lightning strikes straight at Lee Youngho.

“Ahhhhhhh…!“

A tremendous electric shock struck his whole body from head to toe.

If it had been a real thunderclap, he would have lost his life at that moment.

‘It‘s a skill…!‘

He instinctively realized that and gave up attack skills and changed to defense skills.

He found a healer and tried to get himself healed.

Bang!

“…!“

The mid-level demon began to hit the ground randomly with the tree he was holding in his hand.

“Ack!“

The Hyunmu guild members who rushed forward took the attack.

They bounced all over the place like bowling pins.

Non-tanks fell to the ground and broke their necks to death.

‘I have to run away!‘

Lee Youngho immediately turned to the opposite direction.

His body was still trembling from the aftermath of the electric shock, and the number of his subordinates to act as tanks in front of him had been reduced by half.

‘We can never beat that! We have to escape quickly and ask for support from the 1st Army…!‘

Just as he turned away…

His feet were cut off by low-level demons who were lying flat on the ground and hiding in the jungle.

“… Huh?“

Tilt.

He got out balanced.

This time his other foot was amputated.

Thud.

His body collapsed on the floor.

The smiles of mad demons attacking him was the last thing he saw.

Kyahahaha!

Why?

Of all things, he remembered what he said to Suho in front of the dungeon.

-If you let your guard down a little, you will become food for the monsters and not even a corpse of yours will remain.

It would be the same no matter how high-ranked the hunter was.

Because everyone has only one life.

“…!“

He couldn‘t even scream and just died.

* * *

Meanwhile, Suho, who was frantically fighting the demons, suddenly realized that the Hyeonmu Guild was no longer in sight.

“Are they all dead? Dokyoon!“

“Oh! I‘m okay!“

“…“

Surprisingly, Lim Dokyoon escaped without a single wound.

Unlike the Hyeonmu Guild fighting with demons, he was completely focused on running away.

‘Looks like I picked one guild member well.‘

As expected, even if he could only do one thing very well, Suho could be so reassured.

Suho smiled and called Esil.

“Esil! Once you‘ve sorted it out, come over here!“

“Okay!“

Slash!

Esil, who had been beaten and cornered by the mid-level demon earlier, got up and was hunting the nearby low-level demons.

She pulled out her spear stuck in the bodies of those demons and ran towards Suho.

Then, together with Suho, she raised her head and glared at the ‘transcendent mid-level demon‘ who was running out of control.

“Since we‘ve dealt with the small ones roughly, let‘s hunt the bigger one now.“

‘Did he understand that?’

For a moment, the body of the mid-level demon, which was indiscriminately destroying everything in sight, stood still.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked down at Suho with an extremely berserk gaze.

[Are you going to hunt me?]

For the first time, words flowed from his mouth.

He summoned all the low-level demons he was commanding.

In an instant, his entire field of vision was filled with demons.

However, his gaze suddenly widened when he saw Esil next to Suho.

[Wait. No way… Are you a demon noble of the Radiru Clan?]

After summoning all the demons that were everywhere in one place, it was only now that he realized that the aura he felt from Esil was distinctly different from that of the other demons.

[Kuhuhhahaha! I never thought I would make such a windfall here!]

The mid-level demon, eyes wide with greed and was bursting into laughter, ordered his men to charge.

[Catch them! If I drink Radirus‘s blood, I can become stronger!]

Demons attacked with saliva dripping from their mouths.

In front of them, Suho smiled faintly.

He was confident.

An order came from Suho‘s mouth.

“Arise.“

Black shadow began to sway from the corpse of the dead Hyeonmu Guild members.
