The Heavenly Dragon's troops charged forwards. They ran while roaring loudly. Each step of their feet stepped on steadily and firmly, causing the ground to shake. Park Jisung, the highest commander, was in the front row as the spearhead.
On the other hand, the monster's side still remained in place. A dwarf wearing battle armor shouted loudly.
"Platon 1, Platon 2, Platon 3 and Platon 4. Attack!" A shrill voice resembling a little girl made the monsters begin to move. Four hundred monsters dashed towards 3000 Hunters without any fear.
Within seconds, a clash between the two was inevitable.
SPLAAT!
A werelion fell. The first blood had been spilled. The fangs began to tear the flesh, and the swords cut through the bones. The green meadows become the slaughter fields of the monsters.
"Kill them all!"
"We won in numbers!"
"Keep pressing them!"
In just a few seconds, the monster army was knocked back. Many of them died, unable to withstand the onslaught of the Heavenly Dragon's forces.
Slash! Slash! Splat—!
Swords, axes, spearheads; all the sharp weapons didn't stop swinging and stabbing the monsters. The Hunters mustered all their strength. They didn't hesitate to cast 'skill' that drained their mana, like the magic attacks.
Several Hunters seemed to be spitting fire through their palms, burning the monsters alive. Some of them flowed thunderbolts from their swords, those who were hit by the slashes instantly became cripple. Some even fought in the air, as if they were flying.
Various Hunters with 'skills' showed off their capabilities in this battle. However, the most interesting human in that place was their guild master, Park Jisung.
He fought only with iron gauntlets covering both hands. Even so, he greatly dominated the battle. Each of his fists managed to pierce through the monster's body, to the point that there was a lycantropes whose head was smashed.
Papapapapha! Papapapah!
"Kuaaaagghhh!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe fist barrages bombarded every monster that jumped at him. The monster that was hit by him could only roar in pain.
Park Jisung was not known in the world. However, in North Korea, he was known as the Asura Fist.
This nickname was obtained not without a reason. Long before the awaken, Park Jisung was a Military Instructor. He was in charge of disciplining North Korean soldiers. In carrying out their obligations, it was not uncommon for soldiers to not accept or run away.
Park Jisung gave them a chance by allowing them to have a hand-to-hand combat with him. If he lost, he would release them, even though military punishment awaited him.
However, everyone who ever fought with him would end up in a coma.
When the awakening happened, his bare-handed fighting talent endowed him with the skill 'Hardening (D)'. A skill that could harden every part of his body.
With the right skill and martial arts, making him the strongest Hunter in North Korea.
Thus, he was very confident in his abilities.
"Hyaaaaa!"
Bang! The jab crushed the kobolt's head!
Bang! The hook blow broke the werelion's neck!
Bang! Splaat—! An uppercut just cut off the necks of the lycantropes!
Park Jisung crushed every monster within a 1 metre radius. The monsters tried to tear him apart, but none of them left any wounds.
Seeing the number of monsters being dispatched decreased, Pippi did not stand still.
"Platon 5 and Platon 6, attack!"
Two hundred monsters invaded. They helped their comrades who were fighting in the front line.
"Enemy reinforcements are coming! Kill them all!"
"Hyaaaaaa!"
However, it didn't change things much.
The Heavenly Dragon Hunters were even more smoldering. Their fighting spirit had already reached its peak.
They were completely unstoppable.
The Hunters continued to crush the monsters, making the number of monster kept on decreasing over time.
500…
450…
350…
The army of monsters began to be devoured by the Hunters. The number of monsters that fell was increasing. Humans dominated the battle.
However, the battle was still not over. Anything could happen.
Suddenly, the war commander of the monster withdrew her troops.
"Retreat!"
Once again, the shrill, girlish voice echoed throughout the air.
Not long after that, the swarm of monsters in the middle of the battlefield turned around and ran for their lives. Spontaneously, the Heavenly Dragon Hunters were shocked.
They had already gained the momentum, and Park Jisung wouldn't let them run away. In his eyes, victory was very close.
"Soldier! Chase them! Don't let it get away."
Some of the monsters had already set foot in the forest. The monsters, who were too close to the front line, did not have time to save themselves. The Hunters quickly butchered them.
Splat—!
"Kuaaaaaarkkkk!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith Park Jisung as the spearhead, he chased the front, and all his men followed him. They all ran into the forest, hunting the monster.
Park Jisung followed the trail left by the swarm of monsters. The nail bushes looked broken, and dozens of footprints of various shapes seemed to be imprinted on the ground.
"They're still close. Chase them away!"
As they chased the monster, suddenly, some of them fell into the ground, as if the earth swallowed them up.
"Kuaaaaak!"
Splat—!
It turned out that there were many large holes with dozens of pointed bamboo at the bottom. They didn't notice it because it was covered with leaves and bushes. The poor Hunter who fell was stabbed and died instantly.
Park Jisung panicked, realizing that he had fallen into a trap. He quickly ordered all his men to stop.
"Stop!"
However, Park Jisung was late.
Since they were running fast, it was hard to stop suddenly. The Hunters in the back bumped into the troops in the front line. Many people were pushed into the pit of the trap.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
More than 50 of his men died in an instant.
And it stopped.
Park Jisung let out a breath of relief, but the death flag was still flying.
Suddenly, the previously fleeing monsters appeared from various directions.
"No…" Park Jisung swallowed hard in bewilderment.
The swarms of monsters surrounded them, and they pushed the Hunters from all sides. The jostling Hunters were unable to support their bodies properly, causing them to be pushed back. Then, one by one, they fell into the hole.
"Hold up!" one of the Hunters shrieked.
