C164 - Dark Heart

Jin-Woo became the Monarch of the Shadow from the imported data he had just experienced.

Now I was conscious again.

An extra heart was beating in his chest and a strong mana power was coming out of him.

'Is this an error?'

It was easy to prove it.

'Status window'.

Jin-Woo opened the status window without removing his hands from the neck of the angel.

Among the many figures listed, Jin-Woo wanted to check his mana points.

[MP: 109,433]

Jin-Woo's eyes widened.

100,000? '

He could not believe it even though he saw it with his own eyes.

The last time you checked the amount was definitely 9,000. He checked it right before coming here, so there would be no mistakes.

Now it was more than ten times its previous value.

Meanwhile.

That was not the only surprise.

'A title?'

The title box was blinking as if there were changes there. It was not specified, but the title was changed.

The new title was 'Devil Hunter' ('Demon Hunter' in case you wanted it translated)

It was a title that had been neglected since the information was not open.

Jin-Woo confirmed the title information.

[Title: Devil Hunter]

"The requirements have been met."

[The memory of having killed Baran, the king of demons and king of white flame, has been restored. The strong power recognized the player as the owner].

[Effects 'Black Heart': Mana +100,000]

'Black Heart' ... (Dark Heart just in case)

This was the reason why the amount of mana went up to the point where it was absurd.

Additional amount of 100,000 mana.

The power to regenerate the shadow soldiers was now near infinity.

Suddenly...

Jin-Woo remembered the image of the Shadow Monarch he saw in the data

The men who stood before the silver soldiers and covered the sky were their main shadow army.

They constantly resuscitated and overwhelmed their enemies.

Even the silver soldiers who had easily surpassed the same number of normal soldiers could not resist the regenerative power of the shadow soldiers, and were eventually repulsed.

If the armed forces had not arrived on time, the silver soldiers would have been eliminated.

'if so...'

If I have this 'black heart' effect, my shadow soldiers can become immortal soldiers -

As soon as this occurred to him, his whole body shuddered.

"How ...?"

Jin-woo looked up.

A trembling voice came from the angel's mouth.

For the first time.

For the first time, Jin-Woo saw in his face a different expression to that of smile and anger. The emotion expressed by his face was fear.

The angel spoke with incredible panic upon seeing Jin-Woo.

"How can you keep yourself even with a black heart in you?"

What?'

When Jin-Woo heard his words, he quickly noticed two things.

First, the 'black heart' that was shown to him was not the result of the angel's statue. And secondly, the result was not supposed to be good for him.

Crack-!

Jin-Woo gave strength to his hands, and the angelic neck began to crack.

"Cough!"

The angelic face was distorted by pain.

"Answer, what were you going to do to me?"

Jin-woo kept his eyes on him so he could break his neck at any moment.

But the angel seemed to have no answer.

"No ... You, the lord of the shadow, we are ... Do you think the other monarchs will see it?"

The angel statue looked at Jin-Woo and spoke without senses.

Crunch!

Jin-Woo's finger stuck into the angel's neck. Now his fingers broke his throat.

The pain was transmitted.

"Aaaq!"

The angel let out a cry of pain towards the sky.

Jin-woo had a lot to ask.

"Answer the question".

Jin-woo had the right to ask as a result of the test. It was fair to demand the price of the promise.

So ...

There was a red light on the angel.

"Ugh!"

"what?"

Jin-Woo turned his head back to see the other hunters ...

"You, come"

In time with the red light in the angel, there was red light coming out of the eyes of the statues that extended to every corner of the room.

They began to move.

"LOL"

The angelic statue laughed out loud.

"Now if you kill me, nobody can stop my dolls."

"Can you kill me now?"

The angel looked at Jin-Woo with that in mind.

But nevertheless...

Contrary to the angel's expectations, Jin-Woo smiled.

'Because he smiles ...?'

After, Jin-Woo asked.

"After I kill you, I'll get rid of your dolls."

The perplexed angel responded quickly.

"If you kill me, the system developer ..."

"Yes ... I thought so too."

Jin-Woo's gaze was similar to the look of the angel when he looked at the hunters.

"Even if a system designer dies, there is no way to break down a system that has already been created."

It was taken by surprise.

This man knew what he intentionally did not mention.

It was a surprise.

He had forgotten under what criteria he chose this human.

So...

If this happens, I will be forced.

The statue of the angel invoked his last letter.

* Tingling *!

[The system blocks access by the system administrator.]

[The system blocks access by the system administrator.]

[The system blocks access by the system administrator.]

*  Tingling *!

*  Tingling *!

After that, the machine rang several times continuously. But the same message was repeated.

[The system blocks access by the system administrator.]

The angel's face hardened.

The statue tried to do something using the system, but the system did not seem to be on the angel's side.

When Jin-Woo shrugged, the statue of the angel struggled.

"Ahh, you!"

"If you do not want to answer. I have no reason to keep you alive."

Jin-Woo supported the angel's head and hit him with his left hand full of mana.

Kooang -!

The impact that went through the angel statue left a huge hole in the wall.

OoO-

There was a silent pause.

Eye by eye, tooth by tooth.

Jin-Woo punished the angel who tried to take advantage of him.

The angel's body was missing the head and half of his torso and slid down the wall.

"Sorry, I do not have the answer."

Anyway, the angel was the one who tried to deceive him from the beginning.

Could you believe the words that came out of his mouth?

*Sigh*

Jin-Woo seemed to regret the turn of events and then brushed the dust from his left hand.

So...

A voice calling Jin-Woo exploded.

"Hunter Sung!"

'Ah'

Jin-Woo turned around.

He was too focused on the angel statue and had forgotten the rest of the statues.

The statues followed the will of their dead master and attacked the

hunters mercilessly.

"Hunter Sung Jin-Woo!"

Choi Jong tried to keep the statues under control and was asking Jin-Woo for help.

At that time, the stone statues met.

puck-!

Woo Jin-chul stumbled when he was struck by a statue. Trying to keep his balance with his swinging legs, he glanced sideways.

It was a scene of blood and sweat when the hunters tried to fight against the statues that came from all directions.

His mind went blank.

But wait.

What was he doing?

"Oh."

When he reached his senses, a statue was right in front of him.

He checked what hit his chin.

It was a thick book with several overlapping encyclopedias. However, the book was made of stone and when the blow was about to fall, I bowed my head.

Wait ... Was it originally considered a book as a weapon?

Although it was a brief moment, he laughed when he remembered seeing a television program about criminal rights

Anyway, I did not have the power to stop him, nor the power to prevent it.

I had no more strength to counterattack.

So that's why he lowered his guard with a smile.

Bang!

The statue, whose waist was divided in two, was thrown as if it had been dragged by an explosion.

"Uh ..."

Woo was on tiptoe.

He blinked and shook his head when he saw a familiar face.

"It's okay"

"Ah .."

There was nothing more than a sigh.

The man was Sung Jin-woo.

Woo Jin-chul, who was surprised to see him, barely asked.

"Only with your own hands ...?"

"We're going to talk about that later."

Woo Jin-chul ran after Jin-Woo. Then, after a flash of light, he saw something bright appear in Jin-Woo's hand.

It was the "Dagger of the Demon King".

I found it!'

Jin-Woo reached for the dagger.

[Hand of the Ruler] worked and drew a dagger in his hand.

*Throw*.

The grip of the weapon has always been excellent.

Bang!

Jin-Woo set aside a stone statue and began to cut the statues that had

been fighting with the other hunters.

*Sigh*

Woo Jin-Chul felt alone in the slowness of time. With the appearance of Jin-Woo, even the top-ranking hunters could not see the movements that were destroying the stone statues.

Scram-!

Tuk-!

Four stone statues collapsed at the same time.

The hunters who received Jin-Woo's help barely escaped death and opened their mouths in surprise.

"Ah ..."

Woo Jin-chul, who had just approached them, spoke in a low voice.

"That's all I could say, too."

"...Yes"

The hunters nodded.

"That's my thought too."

He has seen it a couple of times, but all he could see was a blurred image. Woo Jin-Chul smiled and bit into a cigarette. A hunter who was a member of the surveillance team was standing next to him.

"Sir, are you sure it's okay to do this?"

"Why?"

"Now, Sung Hunter is alone with the monsters ..."

The member of the surveillance team turned his head towards Jin-Woo.

"Uh ..."

Woo Jin-chul passed a cigarette to his partner and even lit his own cigarette.

"Can you see his movements?"

"I can not ..."

"Then do not worry and smoke quietly"

"Yes."

The Hunters gathered around Woo Jin-chul as they looked at Jin-Woo in amazement.

Woo Jin Chul's cigarette ran out quickly.

For some reason his nose felt tight.

"I do not know how many times I thought I would die here."

There was a sense of relief and joy when I was watching Jin-Woo sweep monsters that looked like impenetrable walls.

"Are you crying, sir?"

"No, man, it's because of how hot this cigarette is."

"I'm also feeling it."

"I also"

"I also"

Everyone's eyes filled with tears from the spicy cigarette.

*  Bang *!

. . . . . . .

Son Ki-hoon, who blocked his fist with his shield, coughed up blood. "Cough"

His knees were shaking.

Without a healer, he had to deal with the shock alone, but this was too much.

"Whoa Whoa."

As I struggled to turn my head, I could see the Hunters standing still.

Oh?

Now that he thought he was going to get all the punches alone and was covered in blood, but nobody else was going to help him?

Soo Ki-hoon shook his head.

"What are you doing, all of you?"

To your question, the hunters pointed in synchrony. Soo Ki-hoon raised his shield in amazement at the thought that an attack was coming from above.

However, the attack did not come.

"...?"

'Now that I think about it, it has been strangely quiet for some time.'

What?'

He looked around under the shield, and all the nearby statues were below.

"What?"

Surprised, he lowered the shield.

Then he could see the whole picture.

He could see the scene of a statue rising as high as a building and Jin-Woo climbing on his shoulder.

"Uh ..."

Before Son Kee-hoon could be surprised.

*Boom*!

Jin-Woo's fist flew half of his face. The headless statue began to wobble.

"Uh? Uh?"

Feeling an unusual energy, Soo Ki-hoon jumped out of nowhere. As he felt, the statue fell where it was standing a second ago.

Kuung-!

Dust filled the entire room.

*Cough*!

Choi Jong, who coughed, went through the dust and approached Cha Hae-in.

"Cha Hunter Cha".

"Boss...?"

"Are you okay? Can you stop?"

She shook her head as she went to bed and moaned. Every part of his body was bruised.

Choi Jong-in frowned sadly.

"I'll help you, get up carefully."

Jin-Woo finished managing all the statues and was placed next to Choi Jong-in, in whom he was trying to support the wounded hunter.

"Can I support Ms. Cha?"

"Yes."

Choi Jong raised his head towards the sound. At that moment, it was a bit hiccup, but Cha Hae-in felt that she was pushing her hand away.

Choi Jong-in replied in an instant.

"Yeah, of course".

Jin-woo hugged Cha Hae quickly. Cha Hae-in's face turned red.

"Wait me a second."

Jin-Woo ran to the entrance and kicked the door.

Bang!

The closed door collapsed in a single kick. Previously, I could not even move, no matter how much the other hunters tried, but now I was devastated.

Later, Jin-Woo opened the store and bought potions ...

Since Cha was in poor condition.

*Drink*

*Drink*

The wound healed surprisingly fast.

"How..."

"Shh"

Jin-Woo the silence.

It is not time to explain things now.

The hunters left the room. Everyone suffered, but Jin-Woo did not see anyone else who needed first aid.

He closed the store.

The other hunters did not know about the existence of the potion and when Cha Hae-in stood up, his eyes fluttered.

"What, Cha Hae-in, a moment ago ..."

"That's..."

He looked at Jin-Woo's face and turned to respond casually.

"This is not the time to explain it, so let's go out and talk about it."

The hunters all agreed.

"Are there more survivors?"

He asked Jin-Woo, who had the best feeling. Jin-woo looked inside and shook his head.

There were seventeen people standing outside.

More than half of the hunters who entered died. The joy of living suddenly became solemn.

"So..."

Turning with a firm face, Jin-Woo grabbed Cha Hae-in's wrist.

Cha Hae-in looked at Jin-Woo.

After, Jin-Woo asked.

"Well ... what happened to Japan?"

Jin-Woo came here just before the breakup of Japan's S-Class Dungeon and was curious about the news there.

Cha Hae-in hesitated to answer.

"It broke."
