Chapter 42 (Continued)
It was a monster on a different level from Seo-jin.
Looking closer, it wasn’t even a living being.
It seemed to have a definite will, possibly contained in that mysterious skull.
‘Was she trying to awaken this?’
Had Seo-jin intended to pay the price of blood to awaken this giant from beneath the ground?
Would it have become an even greater monster if her plan had succeeded?
For now, it was temporarily using Seo-jin’s power as its own.
He couldn’t know for sure.
But one thing was certain: he felt a clear malice emanating from it.
As if it intended to complete what Seo-jin had failed to do.
Screech!
The giant let out a bizarre wail, summoning skeletal beasts wrapped in dense purple magic. They were far more powerful than the minions Seo-jin had summoned.
Woo-jin could only watch with open eyes.
He couldn’t move anymore. He had no strength left to fight.
However, he did not feel anxious.
With the Spirit Realm undone, reinforcements would arrive soon.
Suddenly, an illusion of a swarm of blue butterflies made of vibrant magic descended from the sky.
Crash!
In an instant, blue lightning struck, carving dozens of sword paths into the purple giant. These strikes could easily slice through steel.
The blue butterflies rode the rain and lightning, revealing themselves before Woo-jin.
Oh Baek-seo.
Her back, holding the white saber, came into Woo-jin’s view.
She had arrived just in time.
“Baek-seo...”
There was no strength in his voice.
It was already difficult enough just to hold onto his consciousness.
“You’re safe now. Sorry I was late....”
Baek-seo’s voice trembled. She seemed reluctant to show her face to him.
Arrows and magic projectiles rained down from all directions, targeting the giant. It was support fire from the Disciplinary Committee.
Boom! Boom!
The giant let out a monstrous roar as it was engulfed in explosions.
“Are the members... and the instructors assisting as well?”
“Yes. I issued an emergency summon. Doha is supporting with long-range fire alongside the Disciplinary Committee and teachers, Yesong is gathering the remaining members, and Minhyuk is helping the injured. The rest of the Disciplinary Committee will join us soon.”
Baek-seo answered calmly, her eyes never leaving the enemy.
“What about the evacuation of the students?”
“It’s underway. We need to hold this thing off and buy time....”
There were no reports of the giant causing uncontrollable damage.
Nor did it seem likely that the giant would simply disappear.
Therefore.
‘There must be something....’
There might be something more he didn’t know.
Just then.
“!”
Woo-jin and Baek-seo’s bodies shuddered reflexively.
As if confirming Woo-jin’s suspicions, a powerful magic presence began to descend from the sky.
The giant seemed to sense the ominous presence as well, lifting its head.
As if a meteor were falling, something was plummeting toward them. On closer inspection, it was a person enveloped in flames caused by air friction.
The person clenched their fist and finally reached the giant.
They struck with their fist.
BOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion.
The explosive impact of the punch and the immense gravity crushed the giant’s body. The giant burst apart, its dark purple flesh scattering to the ground.
The force of the impact created a deep crater, and the surrounding skeletal beasts were obliterated.
However, Seo-jin’s crystallized body remained intact as it fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
The wind pressure and shockwave from the impact swept away the surrounding structures and trees, but Baek-seo protected Woo-jin.
Step. Step.
The figure emerged from the dust and walked out of the deep crater.
A man with a fierce grin, baring his large teeth.
“......”
Woo-jin and Baek-seo held their breath, staring at the person who had defeated the giant with a single blow.
Long hair reminiscent of Samson from the Bible.
A height of 2.3 meters.
Muscles developed like a beast’s, bulging under a tight long coat and battle suit.
“Baek-seo, follow my instructions without question.”
Cold sweat ran down Woo-jin’s cheek.
“Run away immediately.”
The strongest in Neo Seoul.
His final task.
The Outlaw.
Alias,
Goliath.
He had appeared.
