Demon Carkus.

Because it has low intelligence, it appears first in the original work.

The appearance that made people feel bad just by looking at it was enough to make people squint even when watching it in a game, but it was even worse in real life.

It had thin, long limbs attached to its body that looked like a water strider, and every time it moved, it made the sound of rusty metal scraping.

That guy’s fighting method was as simple as his intelligence was low.

So fast that you can’t see it.

And the power that comes from that speed.

– devil… ? human… ? Crunch… Both are delicious… .

Karkus, who was analyzing the creature in front of him, eventually gave up understanding and stretched out his limbs.

It didn’t matter to him whether Lee Ho-yeon was a human or a demon.

Kkkk-

The fingers on Carkus’s arms disappeared, turning into the forelimbs of a mantis.

This is what Carkus looked like when hunting the strong.

Carcus was a demon.

Just because a demon has low intelligence doesn’t mean it has low combat power.

He survived hell because he destroyed all the problems caused by his low intelligence with his strength.

Geek-

The moment when an unpleasant mechanical sound filled the coast.

Karkus’ body disappeared from Hoyeon Lee’s sight.

“What the fuck…!”

Kwaaa!

A speed that cannot be seen and reacted with the eyes.

As soon as the rune barrier breaks, a loud noise hits my ears.

The attack, faster than sound, easily destroyed the rune barrier.

fault-

Lee Ho-yeon used magical power to throw his body back and widened the distance between him and Carkus.

The guy was tilting his head again as he looked at himself having survived the first attack.

‘Can the devil exert his power even without the black pillar?’

I have already confirmed that there are no black pillars around.

Nevertheless, Carkus was able to do his best.

‘no. It was clearly absorbing the magic power of hell.’

Lee Ho-yeon watched the magical power it was absorbing through his opened eyes.

The guy was receiving magical power from somewhere nearby.

The place where Lee Ho-yeon was standing now was on the coast.

And, the ominous darkness covering the sea is the magical power of hell coming from the gates of hell.

I wouldn’t know if it were an ordinary monster.

This is an environment sufficient for a demon-sized creature to exert its full power.

‘Rather than Lucifer of power… It’s definitely weak.’

Hoyeon Lee just analyzed the guy’s strength based on his attacks.

Although his opponent was the devil, the top predator of hell, Lucifer was the devil’s successor.

It could not be compared to the power he showed.

However, this did not mean that Carcus was an easier opponent than Lucifer.

Lucifer and his battle were not alone.

There was a strong front line of Nam Da-eun, Scarlett, Irene, and Ellis, and Lucy, Rumi, and Im Sol provided magic support.

There was Baek Ayoung who treated the wounds, and there were Rebecca, Surin Moon, and Liliana who coordinated the battlefield.

Above all, the biggest difference is the killing intent of the other party.

Lucifer did not do everything in his power to capture himself and Liliana from the beginning.

In the end, he was able to cause serious injury by taking advantage of his carelessness, and while the heroines were buying time, he was able to take away the initiative of the fake dungeon magic circle.

But the Karkus in front of me is different.

– human… devil… If it’s strong, it’s delicious… .

Carkus, dripping with saliva, was looking at Hoyeon Lee with bloodshot eyes.

Carkus does not attempt to capture him alive.

What Carcus, a predator, does is hunting.

It doesn’t matter to him whether his prey is alive or dead.

Kkeuddeudeudeudeuk!

Kwaang-!

The front leg of Karkus suddenly appeared in front of me and hit the rune barrier.

Even though it was installed thicker than before, the barrier trembled.

“What power… is so great!”

Hoyeon Lee concentrated his magic power on the rune barrier.

At the same time, the arc injected with magical power rotated quickly, creating a magic circle.

‘Spiral.’

The spiral containing the magic power of the wind spun quickly and aimed at Carkus’ neck.

Because it was a magic created outside of Karkus’ field of vision, he only recognized the attack right before the spiral reached the nape of his neck.

– Crunch… Grumpy?

Pasasasasak-

The next moment.

Spiral dug into the sand on the shore with terrifying force.

Carkus’s head did not fall, and before he knew it, he was sucking on the skull in its original standing position.

“…That’s really ridiculous.”

There wasn’t a single scratch on Carkus’ body, and his thin legs still made strange noises.

Honestly, I thought it was an attack that could never be avoided.

However, Carkus dodged the attack as if it were a natural occurrence.

The difference in speed is so overwhelming that your will to fight is broken.

Even with the evolved eyes, Karkus’ movements could not be properly followed.

Opening eyes means concentrating your eyesight to read the magical power that appears.

Carkus also had magical power, but his fighting style was not based on magical power.

Crack, crack, crack.

Every time the guy’s knees bent and straightened, a strange sound was heard.

Simply put, it was a difference in ‘species’.

Carkus, a demon who survived Hell.

This guy surpassed the laws of physics with pure breech power.

Because Carkus’s speed was not a result of magical power, it could not be read with the Open Eyes.

He is truly a monster worthy of the word monster.

On the other hand, Hoyeon Lee is human.

No matter how great his abilities were, he was still human.

– Crunch. Strong human… I can eat you… there is… .

Demon Karkus thought while looking at Hoyeon Lee.

After experiencing magical power a few times, I was convinced.

The prey in front of you is a human being.

He is a strong human being who feels like a devil, but he is slower than himself.

You can never catch yourself at that speed.

This hunt was a success.

“…You crazy bastard. Who feeds you?”

Even if you want to give up, you are in a position where you cannot.

Excited. Excited.

Every time I recognize the strength of Karkus, [Battle Sense] surrounds my body, and my heart beats faster.

Lee Ho-yeon gritted his teeth and raised his magical power again.

I accelerated my thinking and thought of a way to kill that monster.

Head-to-head competition? lost in speed Your body will be torn apart before the magic can be activated.

Simultaneous attack while giving a fake? It runs away the moment the magic touches its neck.

Moving through space after unfolding the rune barrier? He moves physically faster than Ho-yeon Lee moves through space.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

To make matters worse, Karkus did not let Hoyeon Lee continue his thoughts.

Paaaang-!

Carcus approached at an imperceptible speed and swung its front legs in front of my eyes.

The rune barrier that collided with Carkus’ sharp front legs was unable to withstand the impact and was shattered.

‘Acceleration.’

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon realized that the rune barrier was breaking, he accelerated his body, deflected the magic power, and stepped back.

“… under.”

But this time I was unlucky.

Pop. Pop.

Blood seeps into the sand on the shore.

Even though I used ‘acceleration’, I couldn’t avoid its front legs.

Hoyeon Lee glanced at his tattered right arm and then glared straight ahead.

I only briefly brushed against Carkus’ arm, but my right arm has no strength.

– Crunch. Crumbling… it’s good. Strong human… . it’s good… !

Carkus was licking his front leg as if he had forgotten that he was in the middle of a fight.

I laugh out loud when I see Carkus greedily licking up his own blood.

It would be a shame for a human being to be killed by a bug with no intelligence and only instinct left.

‘The only way to deal with Karkus is straight attack.’

Hoyeon Lee forcibly silenced the pain he felt in his arm.

Instead, he focused his magic on his eyes.

The opponent is not someone you can beat by playing tricks.

To catch Karkus, you have to read his movements.

Geek. Geek…

The hunter did not leave his injured prey alone.

With a strange sound, Karkus, who had tasted blood, rushed even more violently.

Quaaang-!

The sharp front legs struck the rune barrier hard.

That power was transferred to Lee Ho-yeon’s body, and thanks to its high healing power, blood burst out again from her right arm, which had begun to heal.

‘… ‘I need to focus more.’

Hoyeon Lee mobilized all his concentration and glared at Carkus until the end.

It had low intelligence, and its pattern was simple.

It rushes at high speed and strikes with its arms.

The problem is that the speed is so fast that it cannot be perceived.

Inserting equipment profit –

Carkus bent his knees again.

As he lunges, he focuses his entire body’s strength on his arms.

Kaaang-!

A shock that travels faster than sound.

This time, the rune barrier could not withstand.

“Ugh…!”

This time, he quickly retreated, but his left arm was scratched by Carkus’ leg.

Fortunately, my left arm was only lightly scratched and not as bad as my right arm.

– human… it’s good…

Hehehe. It’s good to have fun.

The sound of Karkus twisting his joints was as if he was laughing at himself.

It was a hopeless situation, but Lee Ho-yeon did not give up.

‘I’m starting to see it little by little.’

Hoyeon Lee began to reinterpret the phenomenon seen before her eyes.

It’s impossible to read its movements with ordinary eyesight.

Hoyeon Lee is looking at the world with open eyes.

However, the opening eyes only contain magical power and cannot contain everything in the world.

What he wanted to see was not magical power, but Karkus’ movement.

‘I’m not looking at Carkus. ‘I’m looking at this entire space.’

Prosecutors predict where their opponents will aim by using their shoulder movements.

Even if you move after seeing the opponent’s sword move, it is already too late.

As each other’s level increases, there is more to see.

In the realm of masters, it is an act of giving information to the other person, from gait to breathing.

‘Wizards are the same. ‘I can take everything as information.’

Grumbling-

Blood flowed from his golden eyes.

However, Ho-yeon Lee did not stop concentrating his magical power.

This level of pain will be resolved with high healing power.

In the end, the essence of the battle is the same.

You must accept the other person’s information.

– Crunch. Crumbling… ? human… .

Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes glowed bright gold.

The stronger the opponent, the more [combat sense] pushed Lee Ho-yeon to his limits.

‘Wizards have to be faster. ‘Get rid of the arrogant idea that you can adapt to the other person’s movements.’

Hoyeon Lee was unusual among wizards.

I was learning a lot of magic that allowed me to counterattack even if my opponent came close.

But Karkus was different from the guys he had faced so far.

Even if the wizard Lee Ho-yeon used ‘Acceleration’, he couldn’t become as fast as Karkus, and ‘Spiral’, which requires a direct hit to be effective, couldn’t reach the guy.

‘You have to make it impossible to access from the beginning. No, we need more than that. ‘You have to know your opponent’s every move.’

[Battle sense] fills my body.

He gave strength to his immobile right arm and forced his bloodshot eyes to open wide.

Although it would come as an aftereffect after the battle, Lee Ho-yeon did not stop the accident.

Instantly expand your senses.

Block out all other information and focus all your attention on Karkus.

The movement of mana in this space predicts what the opponent will do next.

– Crumbling… ? human… blood… .

Carcus did not understand what Hoyeon Lee was doing.

All he understood was that his prey suddenly started bleeding from its eyes.

Based on my own experience, when the prey bleeds, it means that the hunt is almost successful.

– it’s good… . Strong human… . Crunch…

Gigi Gigi Geek-

Carkus bent his knees.

And then, like he had done up until now, he rushed towards his prey.

The scene unfolded in Lee Ho-yeon’s field of vision as if in slow motion.

Carkus bent his knees and rushed towards him.

Simply bend and straighten your knees to rush faster than sound.

That was Carcus.

Karkus rolls his eyes to identify his prey and transfers the speed generated by his strong leg force to his front legs.

The front legs, which are densely covered with sharp spines, are designed to tear the body of prey to pieces.

Even a mere brush against the weak human body can be fatal.

Karkus didn’t even give himself time to scream.

The front leg approached at high speed and cut into Hoyeon Lee’s chest.

Each thorn tore off the flesh of the prey, shaping it into a shape that was easy for Carcus to devour.

Ho-yeon Lee’s mind goes blank even though he only allowed one proper attack.

He immediately came to his senses and attempted a counterattack, but Carkus did not miss the prey he had hunted.

In an instant, it dropped the prey’s head and began eating the still fresh prey.

… However, Hoyeon Lee did not feel any pain.

Hoyeon Lee looked down at her chest.

He clearly saw his heart being torn apart, but his own chest was still intact.

Carkus, who was looking at him from the front, was finally bending his knees.

Hoyeon Lee immediately understood this phenomenon.

What you just saw is not reality.

It was a prediction of the future drawn by his own eyes that interpreted the information in this space.

‘Spiral.’

As soon as he recognized that fact, Lee Ho-yeon immediately created a rotation of wind in front of his chest.

A magic sphere spinning in a spiral appears a little away from the chest where Karkus cut it.

Gigi Gigi Geek-

The split-second moment when Karkus jumped in.

He even gave up on the rune barrier and created a ‘spiral’.

A gambler who is close to suicide if he or she does not perfectly predict the opponent’s movements.

But Lee Ho-yeon was sure.

Your predictions are never wrong.

No, this phenomenon is already beyond the realm of prediction.

What he had just seen was not a prediction, but the truth.

God-level mana sensitivity and magic control abilities.

Immense concentration demonstrated in combat situations.

The overwhelming sense that comes from [combat sense].

Lee Ho-yeon’s destructive talent elevated accurate predictions to ‘foresight.’

[Future Prediction]

Kwazizijik-

Carkus’s legs, which were centrally embedded in the spiral, were torn off like those of a water strider.
