Episode 162

Of course.

Blade Ears was not an easy opponent.

– Gaaak, gaaaaak!

The bastard was a mutant with blades sprouting from all over his body.

As it was twice the size of a normal mutant, its strength was also extraordinary.

Blade Ears glared at the mutants rushing at him, then twisted his body with all his might.

– Kkwaddudduk!

Then, a storm of blades arose around him, slaughtering the approaching mutants.

Countless pieces of flesh and blood covered the entire area.

But there are still many mutants.

– Each, ahhh… aaaah!

– Choaak!

Blade Ear crossed his two hands, which had turned into giant blades, and swung them forward in a large motion.

A large sword energy arose from the bastard’s blade.

A sword that shoots out in an X shape.

– Kaaaak!

– Squeak… … !

The mutants’ bodies could not withstand the darkness.

Even though he is a mutant with greatly enhanced physical abilities and defenses compared to a normal hunter, he still can’t withstand it.

It has such overwhelming attack power.

‘Should I call this a special mutant’s power?’

In the original, it was a special mutant that slaughtered many hunters with its tremendous attack power.

If left alone, he’d be able to hunt down all the mutants here by himself.

One, it’s not just mutants here.

– Taaaaaang!

A single gunshot echoed through the ruins.

Blade Ears, who had been slaughtering the mutants, turned his body, but was slow to react because it was an unexpected attack.

The bullet hit the guy.

– Clang!

– Damn it!

The magic contained in the bullet was unleashed.

Eternal chains appeared from all directions and bound the entire body of Blade Demon. At the same time, the curses fired by Baek Sa-jun permeated the bound Blade Demon.

A curse of weakness, debility, and resentment.

– Uh, what the… …?!

Blade Ears felt his body grow dull.

And his own armor was weakening. It was because the curses Baek Sa-jun had cast were effective.

The bastard raised his head.

– Hey, you, uh, person… … .

“I don’t know what you’re saying.”

He seemed to have some sort of ego and tried to talk to me, but it was hard to understand.

Baek Sa-jun struck the ground with his staff.

As the mist of Saihan covered the surroundings, the Tyrant and his knights began to appear.

“Let’s see how far you can cut with that sharp blade.”

A multitude of undead rise up with him.

Mutants, undead, retinues, and the tyrant and his knights all rushed towards Blade Ears.

– Gaaak, gaaaaak!

The roar of the Blade Ears shook the ruins.

* * *

The swarm mother was a mutant with a fighting style that relied on overwhelming numbers to overwhelm her opponents.

The blade ears were exactly the opposite.

A mutant that slaughters enemies single-handedly with its tremendous attack power and agility, even though it is alone.

– Kkeugagak, kkeuggak… … .

But even Blade Ears was helpless in the face of overwhelming numbers. He slaughtered many mutants and undead, but eventually he was brought to his knees.

I was weakened by Baek Sa-jun’s curse, and with enemies constantly appearing, there was no way I could endure it.

– Each, each… … .

“You’re a persistent guy.”

The blade-wielding man, who was covered in wounds, fell down.

But the bastard wasn’t dead yet. Even in that state, he twisted his body as if he was going to fight more.

Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue and gestured to the skeleton, who raised his sword high.

– Crunch!

And one blow.

That was the end. Blade Ear, whose body was split exactly in half, died while bleeding profusely.

Several messages appeared before my eyes.

– Defeated the special mutant, ‘Blade Ears’.

– Special rewards are given.

– Level increases significantly.

Blade Ears dropped items.

Evolution crystals, trinkets. These are the items I expected to see dropped. But there was one more thing there.

[Blade Ear’s Bones (Unique)]

· A bone imbued with the power of Blade Ears, who was once a hunter but became a mutant after being forcibly evolved. When used, grants the skill ‘Blade Storm’ to the followers.

· Skill, ‘Storm of Blades’: Creates a storm of blades that slaughters all nearby enemies.

“What, a bone fell?”

It was the bone of the blade ear.

As its name suggests, it was a bone that contained skills related to swords. Baek Sa-jun looked at the bone for a moment.

Who should I give these bones to?

Actually, there was nothing to worry about.

“There’s no one else I can use besides you.”

– Crunch.

It was a skeleton.

Baek Sa-jun gave bones to the skeleton.

– Grant ‘Blade Ear’s Bone’ to ‘Skeleton’. The skill ‘Blade Storm’ is created for the corresponding clan.

It was an unexpected income.

Baek Sa-jun took the evolution crystal dropped by Blade Ears and checked the accessories.

[Blade Ear’s Resentment (Legendary)]

· A fragment imbued with the power of the Blade Ear. It has the shape of an earring that resembles a blade. If you wear this item, you can use special powers, but your body will ‘evolve’ accordingly.

· Special Effect, : Increases the wearer’s speed by 40% and creates a buff that triples attack power. This buff’s duration increases by up to 1 hour each time you attack. (Buff Duration: 30 minutes, Cooldown: 1 hour.)

· When wearing this item, you will create a sharp blast of wind whenever you attack an enemy.

· The item will be automatically destroyed if the disappears.

While the swarm mother’s accessories focused on summoning the swarm and defense, the blade ear’s accessories focused on individual attack power.

The special effect, , was a buff that only applied to one person, but it was powerful and had an extremely short cooldown time.

“Well, what should I do about this?”

Baek Sa-jun was lost in thought.

I could feel the skeleton next to me looking at me with eyes full of anticipation, as if it was taking my tiara and asking for earrings in return.

Giving it to the skeleton was one way to do it, but I wanted to give it to Iria more.

‘If Iria, who has undergone a body transformation, runs wild among enemies while wielding the Blood Sword… … .’

I pictured myself running wild, moving around in space through the fog.

Baek Sa-jun nodded.

“You write it.”

– Woof woof… … .

– Bam?!

Iria received a flat-bottomed ornament.

The skeleton looked at Baek Sa-jun with a face of shock, but that didn’t make any difference.

“I keep wearing it because it suits me well.”

– All, all right… … .

The skeleton fiddled with the tiara in despair.

Baek Sa-jun glanced at Iria, who was quickly putting on her earrings, and briefly opened the status window.

[Baek Sa-jun]

· Level: 187

· Class: Necromancer

· Gift: Bone Collector

· Strength: 131 · Agility: 131

· Stamina: 137 · Morale: 542

Level 187.

Level 200 wasn’t far away. I thought that maybe by then I would be able to add one more member to my retinue.

‘If possible, I’d like one that can fly.’

Since there is Cerberus on the ground, I wanted to create a servant that could fly in the sky.

I guess I can make it after this apocalypse is over.

Baek Sa-jun took the decision of evolution.

– A special mutant has appeared.

– Entity name: Monster.

A message appeared before his eyes.

A message that another special mutant has appeared.

‘There isn’t much time left.’

How many special mutants can you hunt during that time to get the reward?

We need to hunt as many of them as possible.

“let’s go.”

Baek Sa-jun started walking straight away.

* * *

There was no time to rest.

Baek Sa-jun, who had been hunting the Blade Ears, found the monster that had just appeared and hunted it down.

A special mutant with eight arms and a body covered in armor that boasts tremendous defensive power.

‘The monster’s greatest characteristic is its defense.’

It covered itself with a shell-like carapace, and its defensive power was tremendous.

To the point where even the most basic attacks won’t work.

What was needed to hunt that guy was overwhelming attack power and the ‘Ignore Defense’ effect.

– Kwaaaaah!

And unfortunately for the monster, Baek Sa-jun had both.

Iria obtained the .

There is the that Baek Sa-jun has.

– Kkwadkku!

Iria, who had activated Kaito Namma, was pushing back the monster with overwhelming attack power.

Even though my body was already enhanced by physical mutation, it was difficult to deal with the speed increase.

There’s even the wind pressure caused by the Bloodstained Sword.

– Ugh, aaaah!

Iria dodged the monster’s counterattacks with surprising speed and tore off its arms.

Meanwhile, Baek Sa-jun was riding Cerberus and cutting off the monster’s legs with his scythe.

– Crunch!

Thanatos’ Scythe has a special effect that ignores 50% of an enemy’s defense.

Baek Sa-jun attacked the monster with a scythe soaked in thick evil spirit until it collapsed.

Actually, he didn’t last long.

– Kwaaang!

A monstrosity that collapses with its legs cut off.

Iria and Baek Sajun’s attacks simultaneously targeted the bastard’s head, destroying it immediately.

That’s how the monster died.

“Easy, easy.”

Baek Sa-jun took the item from the monster.

Evolutionary crystals and accessories. Accessories specialized in enhancing defense, but their performance is beyond words.

‘I guess I should give it to Cerberus.’

Thanks to the good start as the colony mother, I was able to hunt the special mutants smoothly.

A colony mother with blade ears, and a monster.

At this point, we’ve killed all the guys that we absolutely had to catch.

‘They were the strongest ones in the original too.’

They were the ones who gave such strong rewards.

If we were to prevent the imminent invasion of the Legion Commander, we had to obtain their rewards.

‘Just take care of a few more here.’

While hunting the monsters, more special mutants appeared. Baek Sa-jun hunted them as long as time allowed and headed to the safe zone.

And exactly 36 hours later.

– Kuuuung!

A tremendous vibration shook the city.

The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred. Baek Sa-jun quickly regained his balance and looked towards the source of the shaking.

Beyond, the Guild House of Radiance.

– Kwaaaaaaaah!

The Seed of Evolution floating in the sky above the building emitted a stronger wave than before.

The bodies of the mutants that were touched by that wavelength changed even further, creating new mutants.

– Special mutants have appeared.

– Target: Corrosive spirits, transmitters… … .

Those are special mutants.

The presence of special mutants was detected from all directions. They were mutants awakened by that wavelength.

The newly created special mutants and regular mutants were heading somewhere.

There was no need to say where it was.

‘Safe zone.’

That wasn’t all.

At the Guild House of Radiance, a number of legionaries were advancing together with the mutants.

Even the legionnaires scattered throughout Daejeon are included.

“Has it started?”

The invasion of the Legion and mutants has begun.

Baek Sa-jun, who was watching the situation from the rooftop of the building, hurriedly headed to the safe zone in the West.

I have prepared everything I need.

Items obtained from special mutants. And.

‘If necessary, I will use this stone too.’

Baek Sa-jun took out a stone from the subspace.

A stone that feels warm when touched. It was a gift from Gaiad, received from Namgung Yeon.

A desperate move that even the commander could not have figured out.

‘Let’s see if it works.’

This will definitely help a lot.

Baek Sa-jun entered the safe zone.
