“Focus on its feathers! Keep your eyes on it until the end!”

Sigh-

Guild leader Kim Tae-hyun, leader of the punitive force, shouted as he cut down the approaching feathers.

The Sangvis Guild broke through numerous dungeons and gates.

In the process, he was always at the forefront, but there was no battle as difficult as today.

Even though the demons rushing at me like crazy were annoying, they weren’t that difficult.

In fact, most of the demons were killed.

The problem was two demonic entities.

A devil with a bird’s head and a man with ores hanging all over his body.

Each one of them had unbelievable strength.

‘I hunted this monster alone…’ ?’

Every time I block an attack from demons, I am amazed at Hoyeon Lee’s strength.

How did he single-handedly subdue a monster that would be difficult to defeat even if the entire subjugation team worked together?

Guild leader Kim Tae-hyeon glanced at the battle on the other side.

Hoyeon Lee was fighting with the boss of Pandemic.

The battle couldn’t be seen properly because of the building debris floating everywhere, but the boss of Pandemic was definitely not weak.

I wanted to somehow hunt down the devil and help Ho-yeon Lee with only the power of the subjugation team, but holding on was becoming more and more difficult.

“K-keuuuch…!”

“Kyeonghyun! Holy shit…!”

As the fight dragged on, the fallen subjugation members began to appear one by one.

Hard ores that give a huge impact just by brushing against them fly in from all directions, and between them, feathers targeting weak points rush in.

Even when the subjugation team took advantage of the opportunity to attack the demons, they moved their bodies nimbly.

‘If things continue like this, there will only be annihilation…’ .’

The leader, who was directly withstanding the devil’s attack, was getting increasingly tired.

Guild leader Kim Tae-hyeon was at the forefront, but as time went by, the pressure on him grew.

If you can’t hold on, it’s only a matter of time before others fall.

We had to win the game as quickly as possible.

‘third time. No, there are two left.’

In a long battle, Kim Tae-hyun analyzed his opponent’s patterns.

There was a cycle where a demon with ore all over his body would summon stones.

Exactly every five times, the ore will wriggle and a small gap will appear.

You probably need a magical charge.

‘Aim for that gap and rush in.’

Kwaaang-!

Avoid the flying ores and cut through the feathers.

‘One last time.’

Guild leader Taehyun Kim sent a hand signal to the punitive force behind him and gradually narrowed the distance.

Soon, the devil summoned a huge ore from his body.

This was the 5th time.

“Now is the time!!”

Taehyun Kim rushed forward with his eyes wide open.

At the same time, he filled both hands with the magic power he had condensed in his body and took a defensive stance.

[Counterattack posture]

It is a unique skill that stores the power received for a few seconds in one’s body and then returns it.

This was the reason why he always took the lead in battle even though he was the guild leader.

It is a high risk and high return as it causes damage to yourself, but it can definitely inflict strong damage to the enemy.

Kuuuung-!

The huge ore hit Kim Tae-hyun’s body directly.

A shock that made my head dizzy.

Seeing as I had no feeling in both arms, all my bones might have been broken.

Taehyun Kim gathered his wits and kept his gaze on the guy.

It takes about 2 seconds for the Ore Demon to charge ore.

It was enough time for him to close the distance and strike a counterattack.

Taehyun Kim’s numerous experiences shined in this situation.

“…?!”

However, contrary to Kim Tae-hyun’s calculations, the devil was immediately producing ore.

It took time to recharge every five times. I have confirmed this phenomenon dozens of times so far.

It was only then that Kim Tae-hyun noticed that the corner of the devil’s mouth was twisted.

‘Holy shit… !’

It’s a trap.

No, perhaps he too had carried out his attack unreasonably.

The important thing is that you must be attacked once more in this state.

Kim Tae-hyun’s counterattack stance is a strong skill, but there is a risk of taking damage as is.

Even though I only got hit once, I felt dizzy.

If I get hit like this one more time, my body won’t be able to withstand it.

“Guild leader!”

“Don’t come any closer!”

Taehyun Kim bit his lip and looked straight ahead.

‘can not avoid.’

Because I ran with the intention of charging at the guy, I couldn’t avoid that attack.

then… Rather, we need to dig deeper.

Rather than trying to preserve one’s life at a low probability, one should throw one’s body to create at least a brief opening for the punitive force.

The probability of subduing the devil will be higher there.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have brought Yeonghan… .’

Taehyun Kim erased his useless thoughts and rushed ahead.

He planned to block everything himself so that the guild members would not be attacked.

His eyes were following the ore demon until the end.

That moment.

The ore that was blocking my eyes disappeared.

“Eraser.”

“…?!”

Taehyun Kim opened his eyes wide.

It was a rush where I was prepared to die, but suddenly the ore in front of me disappeared.

‘I don’t know what’s going on… ‘Rush straight ahead.’

Move your body when you have time to think.

The ore devil seemed embarrassed and was pulling out ore again, but Kim Tae-hyun had already come right in front of the ore devil’s nose.

Paaang-!!

“K, keaaaa…!”

The energy stored in the entire body was returned to the devil.

The devil’s scream I heard for the first time.

Taehyun Kim stepped back with his arms hanging limply.

‘shit… If I had been hit a second time, I would have died instantly.’

As soon as the counterattack ended, I could feel the damage accumulated on my body.

I thought it was only my arm that hurt, but it seems like every bone in my body was fractured.

He is such an unfair person that he can suffer such damage just from being hit by a single rock.

dump-

Kim Tae-hyun sat on the floor with one knee down.

The ore demon was writhing in pain, but it did not appear to have taken any fatal damage.

‘… Wow, you can’t finish that guy?’

At best, they created a gap for the ore demon, but the bird-headed demon prevented other subjugation members from coming.

“Cooo! Cough!”

The bird-headed demon was glowing with feathers all over its body.

Considering that the attack is much stronger than the one shown so far, it seems like the ore demon is also a burden to defeat.

At that time, the ore devil glared at himself and opened his mouth.

“Kuuues was human….”

“Crazy rock. Did he even know how to talk?”

under.

Taehyun Kim smiled as he looked at the ore demon glaring at him.

Was it great that it made a guy who hadn’t said a word until now start talking?

The guy seemed to have completely recovered from the shock and spewed out his deadly force towards us.

‘In the end, the subjugation was a failure…? ?’

It was not that I underestimated my opponent’s power.

The association planned a subjugation force with a force three times stronger than the Devil Cult’s expected strength.

The reason was that wizard Lee Ho-yeon strongly insisted… I never thought this would be enough.

Taehyun Kim squinted his eyes and forced his body to strength.

Sitting like this is not helpful at all.

You have to raise your body and attract a little attention.

When I thought so.

Kaaang-!

With a tremendous roar, the jewel on the back of the ore demon’s head exploded.

“Kaaah!”

Blood began to flow from the body of the ore demon, who was clutching the back of his head as if in pain.

Who made the devil like that?

There was no need to ask.

Because he saw the back of a familiar man in front of him.

“Guild leader Taehyun Kim. Can you wake up?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Kim Tae-hyun shivered involuntarily as he saw Lee Ho-yeon looking down at him.

The golden eyes sparkled with fear even though they were not enemies.

But more than that, a sense of relief enveloped my body.

“Well then, come to your senses. I will finish that boulder, but there is still one left. Guild leader Kim Tae-hyeon.”

“… I understand! Everyone, just cheer up!”

Kim Tae-hyun forcibly squeezed out his magic power and stood up.

The ore demon that had been tormenting them was fatally injured in just one moment.

It was a surprising sight for all the punitive forces present.

The most important thing in a fight is momentum.

In times like this, if you don’t have momentum, you can’t win the battle.

“Wizard Lee Ho-yeon killed the boss of Pandemic and joined! End them all!”

Kim Tae-hyun raised his voice and raised his sword again.

The mere arrival of Lee Ho-yeon brought hope to the expressions of the subjugation team members.

*

The battle did not last long.

Malphis, a demon with ore hanging all over his body, was fatally injured in Hoyeon Lee’s surprise attack.

Since I broke the jewel on the back of its head, which was its greatest weakness, it wasn’t difficult to end its life.

‘I didn’t know guild leader Taehyun Kim was that strong.’

Even though he helped with Eraser, the way he risked his life to rush in and create a gap was, in Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes, an example of a guild leader.

I wanted to build a good relationship with the Sangvis Guild just with that one person.

After finishing off Malfis, I also dealt with Amon, the bird-headed demon.

Although they had a hard time against two demons, the subjugating team were all Aces from the Hunter Association.

If everyone came together and kept one devil in check, it was enough to support Lee Ho-yeon.

Of course it wasn’t easy.

While Lee Ho-yeon was away, there were many casualties, and it was difficult not only to capture him alive but to properly leave behind his body.

It was questionable whether their corpses, which had wounds all over their bodies, could be studied.

‘The reinforcements are terribly late.’

They said they called for reinforcements as soon as they encountered the devil, but the reinforcements arrived only after the battle was over.

At first, I was annoyed, but the punitive force itself was already an unbelievable force.

All useful forces without a schedule were put into the punitive force, and the remaining forces are said to be essential personnel for the guild.

I couldn’t be angry because they stopped all their work, organized reinforcements, and left immediately.

[Sweeping out the Mine organization that was hiding in Korea! Brainwashed ordinary people are entrusted to specialized organizations due to memory confusion… .]

[Genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon. This time, defeat two demons! New demons Amon and Malfis. The battle video is heating up the world again… .]

[Interview with Kim Tae-hyun, Iron Blood Guild leader. “Wizard Lee Ho-yeon is the future of the world. Without him, the punitive force would have been annihilated. We must have a sense of crisis against creatures called devils. To kill one devil, we need more than 10 S-class hunters.”]

Lee Ho-yeon’s name soared into the sky once again.

The name Ho-yeon Lee came up in every interview of the subjugation team members, and with the battle video being released, it was becoming strange to even say negative things about Ho-yeon Lee.

“If this continues, there will be a Lee Ho Yeon Church instead of a Devil Church.”

Ho-yeon Lee, who was lying on the bed and looking at Everyday, turned off the smartwatch and shook his head.

It’s good to be famous, but if you become too great, you’ll feel rejected.

You should also apply gold paint to your face appropriately.

Belt- Belt- Belt-

A sound is heard from next to Lee Ho-yeon’s bed at regular intervals.

It was a machine that checked the heartbeat.

The fact that this is next to the bed means that this is a hospital room.

I was hospitalized again.

This is Sanghyeol Hospital.

This is a VIP hospital room prepared by Kim Tae-hyeon and Kim Young-han, who said that the Iron Blood Guild was of great help.

“I heard you don’t have to be hospitalized. Tsk.”

Although Lee Ho-yeon’s physical condition is currently poor, her natural healing power is amazing.

Even if you don’t need treatment, you will get better if you sleep well for a day.

But somehow no one listened to what he had to say.

‘But I missed all the interviews… .’

Perhaps Guild Leader Kim Tae-hyun also took that into consideration.

It was already hard, but I didn’t want to do the interview.

“Honey…! Are you in any pain…?”

At that moment, when Lee Ho-yeon was lying dazed, the door to the room connected to the hospital room opened and her face came out.

“It’s okay, Ayoung.”

“If you feel uncomfortable, you should always tell me.”

Of course it was Baek Ayoung.

When she heard that she was injured again, this time she said she would personally monitor her and showed up almost every ten minutes from the room next door.

‘Well, if it makes you feel comfortable, it’s okay.’

That’s better than crying and running away.

In fact, as soon as I got to the hospital, I started crying again, so it was hard to stop me.

“Honey, I can’t do it. We have to do a thorough exam again.”

“Ayoung. No, honey. Can you lie down for a bit? Even if you take the test four times in one day, the results will be the same.”

“Yeah, but….”

“Now. You can lie down next to me, so just lie here. It’ll make you more comfortable.”

“Honey…! Does that mean you can heal just by my presence?”

“… Yes. That’s what I meant, so I’m just staying here.”

Lee Ho-yeon left the bed as she saw Baek A-young approaching.

okay. This is better than crying and complaining.
