Chapter 228

What『Ber』 said was definitely mentioned by the System when it still existed.

There can only be one General Commander.

Therefore, soldiers with the same rank must fight each other in order to distinguish who's stronger.

Assuming the General Commander position is what they are aiming for this time. 『Ber』, who was the General Commander of Jinwoo's shadow soldiers is entitled to challenge [Bellion] for the position.

As an ant, Hierarchy is a common experience to 『Ber』.

"Shadow Legion Generals."

I turned my gaze to 『Ygritte』, who's also a Commander to some of Jinwoo's shadow soldiers but he politely declined.

『Ygritte』 wasn't interested in such things.

As 『Ygritte』 stepped back quietly, 『Bellion』, who had been next to him, came into view.

Currently, 『Bellion』 is the Commander of the 130,000 black knights.

And of course, above that is Jinwoo, The King of the Shadow Legion.

When 『Bellion's』gaze met Jinwoo's eyes, he bowed his head.

『Bellion's』who's bigger than Thomas Andre tried lowering his posture as much as he could.

"As you wish, My Lord."

Jinwoo burst into laughter at [Bellion]'s response.

Submissive tone.

However, that just means he accepts the challenge for the General Commander position.

When Jinwoo looked back for a moment, he saw 『Ber』revealing his nails and burning with determination.

Kip!

Unlike『 Bellion』which conceals his mana as much as possible, 『Ber』released vicious amount of magical power.

'Hmmm...'

Jinwoo, who had been thinking for a while, finally decided.

'Okay.'

I know a lot about 『Ber』, but not 『Bellion』.

This might be a good opportunity to find out what 『Bellion's』 capable of.

Maybe I allowed it since I really want to see them fight.

"I will decide when the battle is over."

『Ber』eyes were filled with delight after hearing his King's approval.

With extreme excitement, 『Ber's』gleamingly stared at his King and said.

"This royal favor is immeasurable."

"Stop it..." Jinwoo replied.

".........Thank you, my King!"

『Bellion's』 calmly preparing for the fight while 『Ber』cannot contain his excitement.

They're like a Champion versus a Challenger waiting for the bell to ring but there's something needed to be arranged before they start.

Jinwoo equipped 『Karmish's Wrath』and concentrated mana in it.

Then he swung it towards the forest.

Quizajajjajjajjajjajjajjajjajak-!

A black wave of mana swept through the forest.

But the damage was not as destructive as he thought. Jinwoo was satisfied and unequipped 『Karmish's Wrath』.

"This is enough."

The battle of the two generals won't cause unnecessary damage to the surrounding area.

The accumulated mana made the land suitable for the fight.

'..........'

Jinwoo intensely looked down and soon looked up.

The eyes of the two generals are full of anticipation.

Suddenly.

The new commander who was waiting for his King's order nodded his head and said.

"Give me your orders, my Lord."

Jinwoo smiled and said.

"Take your positions."

**********

Korean Hunter's Association.

The emergency meeting room is more chaotic after the crisis ended.

"The foreign press is creating a commotion asking for a statement." "The Hunter Bureau is asking for the location of Sung Jin Woo." "The City Hall Disaster Headquarters asked if the citizens who have evacuated can be recalled."

"We want to interview Sung Jin Woo for Hunter Channel's Jimmy's Show."

"Jimmy my ass, if you find him take him."

It's good that the flooding phone calls did not paralyze the communication network.

Woo Jin Cheol sighed when he saw a tower of official documents piled up while he was giving orders.

There's a lot of work to be done.

No.

This is good.

[Insert mountains and mountains and mountains of paperwork]

There's no end to it.

Is this enough to make a Class A Hunter sick?

All of a sudden.

While Woo Jin Cheol was shaking his head to avoid falling asleep, a subordinate approached him and whispered something in his ear.

"Maybe they are soldiers of Hunter Sung Jinwoo and..." said the subordinate in a displeased tone.

Woo Jin Cheol who was trying to stay awake asked his subordinate.

"Then Mr. Won, do you think it's much better if a flood of magic beasts came out from the gate yesterday?"

"What? Wait I'm not saying..."

Woo Jin Cheol continued to talk to his subordinate who was unable to reply due to embarrassment.

"If the phone calls you're getting weren't for an interview but a call from a family asking whether or not a hunter died, will you be able to work as much as you do now?"

The subordinate cannot look at Woo Jin Cheol's brutal glare.

No employee in the Hunter Association has ever experienced this kind of situation before.

What do hunters go through in an emergency?

Whatever happens in the dungeon, stays in the dungeon?

Considering the number of cases that could have occurred during the raid process.

What happened yesterday is the best case scenario.

More than 100,000 magic beasts came out but no one got hurt.

Nothing collapsed.

Also, the magic beasts were absorbed by Sung Jin Woo.

Who would have thought?

It was an unbelievable achievement.

That's why Woo Jin Cheol was able to handle all the work, sleepless but glad.

By the way.

One employee of the Hunter Association skipped his job yesterday saying he was feeling a little bit tired.

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

If by any chance of Hunter Sung Jinwoo's nearby, Woo would have stepped forward and slapped his subordinates face before Jinwoo gets angry.

Woo Jin Cheol knows what Jinwoo felt.

So, he told all of his employees to momentarily stop what they are doing. He looked at them and tried to say something.

"I know how you feel when Sung Jin Woo suddenly disappeared."

"But there must be a good reason on why he just vanished."

"Maybe the most flustered person right now is Hunter Sung."

It is said that "With great power comes great responsibility."

Woo Jin Cheol who recalled the lines he saw in a movie thought about the weight of responsibilities on Jinwoo's shoulders.

"I've seen Hunter Sung for a long time, but it was the first time I felt so nervous."

He had no idea what would happen at that moment.

If you are there, ready to fight your life then suddenly 100,000 magic beast comes out and pledges allegiance to Hunter Sung Jinwoo will you not be confused and try to leave that place?

Who can point a finger at him?

Now it is the job of the Hunter Association to overcome the confusion and share the grievances until he comes back and explains the situation.

The Association must always be Hunter Sung Jinwoo's support.

"If our Hunter Association doesn't understand Jinwoo's agony, who can?"

The President's passionate speech made the employees inspired and stronger.

The employee who whispered to Woo Jin Cheol about Sung Jinwoo's soldiers that came out of the gate quickly asked for forgiveness and repeatedly bowed in front of Woo Jin Cheol.

"I'm sorry Mr. President, it was very thoughtless of me, I'm so sorry."

Woo Jin Cheol patted the shoulder of the employee to cheer him up and returned to his seat.

'Sigh!'

There was still a pile of documents on his desk and it seems that it was twice than before.

'........'

Woo Jin Cheol, who turned his head from the paperwork, was worried about Jin-woo, who would be troubled at this moment.

"What are you doing now?"

**********

Thrilled on what was about to happen, Jinwoo distanced himself from the two Generals.

『Ygritte』stood next to him.

The other shadow soldiers moved back surrounding the two generals so they can move freely.

『Ber』grew his nails and roared.

"Kie Maeh-e-e-e-e-e-e-h!"

『Bellion』pulled out his sword from his waist.

Earlier, Jinwoo thought 『Bellion』was a swordsman like 『Ygritte』.

"Hmmm..."

Jinwoo's eyes were fixed on 『Bellion's』sword.

A very unique sword.

The sword has joints on its blade. https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Whip_Sword_(3.5e_Equipment)

The two looked at Jinwoo as if they're telling him they're ready.

"Start!"

As soon as Jin-woo gave the signal, 『Ber』 rushed in.

'Kieeeeeeeh!'

『Bellion』, who narrowed the distance at a tremendous speed blocked the nails of 『Ber』which he swung as hard as he can.

『Bellion』turned towards 『Ber』who was blown away due to inertia.

And then...

'........'

Jinwoo's eyes grew bigger.

『Bellion's』sword stretched out like a snake and was pouring into 『Ber』.

‘Susususususu -!’

As he was turning quickly, 『Ber』struck the sword forcefully.

Kagak!

That's when it started.

『Bellion』began using the sword as a whip and relentlessly flooded 『Ber』with attacks.

『Bellion's』black sword moves freely according to his will and formidable mana, devastating the land and the air around 『Ber』.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

On the other hand, 『Ber』barely managed to ward off the attacks.

“Kie eek!”

Seeing 『Bellion's』attack that went beyond the limits of a sword, Jinwoo imagined himself receiving the blows.

'Okay.'

Everything slowed down.

However.

Even in the stillness of time, 『Bellion's』attack was tremendously fast.

Jinwoo's eyes deepened.

Not a single movement of the unpredictable sword strikes was missed by his heightened sight.

Top left, right side, top left again, bottom left, top right.

His virtual self that is avoiding all attacks stood in front of 『Bellion』.

And then...

In Jinwoo's mind, 『Bellion's』 head fell off.

That took a while.

However, 『Bellion』, who instantly sensed an eerie feeling of his neck getting slashed turned to Jinwoo frightened.

"What the?"

Jinwoo finds 『Bellion's』weapon interesting and tried to visualize fighting him seriously.

Nonetheless, when Jinwoo saw 『Bellion's』perplexed eyes, he replied with a sorry look.

『Ber』, who did not miss the chance, struck the sword which was chasing him then approached Bellion in lightning speed.

“Kie e ee eek!”

"Fuwook-!"

Surpassing Jinwoo's expectations, 『Bellion』thrusted his weapon into 『Ber's』stomach.

Reflexes beyond expectations.

In addition to the terrible destructive power that blows off the ground.

『Bellion』truly deserved to be the General Commander.

"But never let your guard down."

It is not easy to say this to your soldiers, but the greatest strength of the insect/bug is its persistent vitality.

Sure enough.

『Ber』, who had a sword in his stomach, expanded his body and smashed 『Bellion's』head with his enlarged fist.

'BAM-!'

The impact was so strong that a part of 『Bellion's』helmet broke and black smokes scattered.

'Kieeeh!'

Soon after, 『Ber』tried to deliver a second attack.

But no, it was stuck.

『Ber's』wrist were held by 『Bellion's』grip.

『Ber』tried to free his hands but 『Bellion's』grip didn't budge at all.

Meanwhile, 『Bellion』pulled back his other arm and concentrated an immense amount of mana into his arm.

At that moment.

'Kuwoong -!'

『Ber』was hit in the chest and thrown out in a straight line.

Simultaneously, shock waves swept through the forest and blew away the surrounding trees.

A straight line can be seen in the forest where trees are abundant.

"Kie Ae Eg"

『Ber』, who was flying to get back, quickly spread his wings to stop.

But 『Bellion』already appeared in front of 『Ber』who by then barely managed to stop.

A blow to the ground.

'Koo Woong -!'

『Bellion』dropped down to the ground like a meteorite falling from the sky.

At the center of the dented ground.

『Ber 』, who had endured the shock that would already have been disintegrated him if he was an ordinary enemy, quickly reacted by raising his body.

"Shh! Swigg."

『Bellion』held the back of 『Ber's』head.

'Bang!'

And the slugfest started.

"bang! Thug! bang! bang!"

『Ber's』attack was not as strong as before.

'Kuwoong -!'

Meanwhile, 『Bellion's』every attack was fatal.

'Crack!'

『Ber's』exoskeleton were getting chipped with every attack he received, and after a while, it shattered.

'Kieeeeh!'

However, 『Ber』resisted desperately refusing to give up.

『Bellion』grabbed 『Ber's』neck as he tried to bite his shoulder.

"Quack! Chomp! Shhh! Stab! Creak!"

『Ber』writhed, unable to move, while『Bellion』focused his mana on his other arm to deliver the final blow.

The concentration of mana is so hideous that even a Dragon's head could be smashed into pieces by a single blow.

The end has come.

『Bellion's』fist closed in over 『Ber's』face.

All of a sudden.

Jinwoo, who did not want to see 『Ber's』head fly, stopped 『Bellion's』fist.

'Chin!'

"That's enough!"

『Bellion』quickly pulled is arm when he saw Jinwoo stopped his attack.

"My Lord."

『Bellion』hastily fell on his knees and bowed his head.

"...Great fight!"

Jinwoo praised 『Bellion』with his eyes and then approached 『Ber』, who was lying on the ground.

“Kie eeek, My King, kie eeek, I can still fight!"

'......'

Jinwoo looked down at 『Ber's』pitiful eyes and asked.

"『Ber』, why are you so obsessed on being the General Commander?"

"Kie eek, I want to be the Commander of your Army and serve you forever."

When 『Ber』continued talking about wanting to become the General, Jinwoo scratched his head and said.

"The General Commander can stand on the right and you stand on the left."

'.........'

When 『Ber』realized that he can still stand as a Lieutenant even if he's not the General Commander.

"......My Kinggggg!"

"STOP IT!"

Jinwoo sighed and stood up beside 『Ber』, who was still overwhelmed with emotions.

Suddenly, a soldier approached.

It was 『Ygritte』who heard the conversation between 『Ber』and Jinwoo.

"My Lord, give me a chance to prove myself."

Jinwoo responded as if he already knows.

"You stand behind me."

'...............'

『Ygritte』was unable to speak any more in front of his King.

**********

"So... The Shadow Monarch turned into an enemy."

The Dragon Monarch who was in human form was being informed by the other Monarchs who were slowly descending to the ground.

In the darkness, only the voices of the Monarchs can be heard.

"I see. I'll take care of him. Don't move. We must prevent further losses."

The dragon, who had grasped the situation enough, broke the connection with other monarchs.

The sound soon disappeared.

A world with nothing, the crevices of this dimension are quickly immersed in emptiness, and this space where there is nothing to destroy was like hell for him.

The Lord of Destruction, created from darkness, was committed to destroying everything that existed.

And finally, the long wait is over.

The dragon turned around.

"Soldiers, get ready for war!"

Then dozens of ancient dragons, hundreds of dragons and a number of draconian people shouted while their eyes emerged from the dark.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"
