What did I just see?
That’s the Golden Hind I’m supposed to capture?
Don’t tell me you’re the boss monster?
At that moment.
[ A boss monster appears. ]
Seeing the system notification, Su-ho smacked his forehead with a sharp tak!
Of course.
Bad premonitions always hit the mark.
Sliding his hand down from his brow to cover his face, Su-ho peered at the Golden Hind through the gaps between his fingers.
[ The Golden-Horned Warrior Who Guards the Snow Mountain uses boss-monster-grade Fear. ]
[ Dragon Blood is activated. ]
[ Due to the Dragon Mind effect of Dragon Blood, Fear does not apply. ]
Annoyed at Su-ho’s jab, Geumbi let out a bellow.
Naturally occurring boss Fear.
Of course it didn’t take.
With a thin smile, Su-ho said,
“For a deer, you’ve got some lungs. Get over here—I’ll finish this quick.”
Maybe the taunt worked—Geumbi’s body flashed gold and, turning into a golden streak, charged Su-ho.
The instant its body lit up, Su-ho used a skill.
[ Cheongeunchu is activated. ]
And then—
[ Blood Armory is activated. ]
At the same time as the golden flash, two skills activated almost simultaneously.
Geumbi, as ever, charged Su-ho at high speed.
It was nearly its only technique, but in any case, it had realized Su-ho couldn’t catch it.
And that was Geumbi’s mistake.
Kwad deudeudeuk!
A gruesome piercing sound.
At the same time, Su-ho smiled.
No wonder—long red spear-blades had skewered it like a kebab.
With Blood Armory, Su-ho bristled his body like a sea urchin.
He’d used Cheongeunchu for this reason.
If the supporting weight was heavy, even if something slammed in at high speed, he’d be pushed back less.
In a dying voice, Geumbi trembled.
But Su-ho showed no sympathy at all, summoned the Blood Sword, and drove the blade into its body.
He stabbed it cleanly in the flank.
He transformed the inserted blade inside like a hook; now, even if it thrashed, it wouldn’t be able to get free.
After retrieving the Blood Armory, Su-ho left only the Blood Sword and, gripping it, looked down at Geumbi.
“You think I wouldn’t know how to deal with a thing like you.”
Su-ho had gone all the way to the very late end of the Great Cataclysm.
He’d met countless monsters in that time; what a brute that relied on nothing but speed could do was obvious.
Besides, wasn’t this the mid–Great Cataclysm?
No matter how that woman Hera had sharpened a hidden blade, there was such a thing as a season limit, so the danger rating of the blade she could bring out had a ceiling.
“Let’s finish this.”
The instant Su-ho summoned a new Blood Sword into his other hand and raised it—
Kwa-r-r-rumble!!
Lightning fell from the sky.
