Chapter 154: Yu Il-Shin, the Prison Breaker
“Huff! Huff!” Gal Joong-Hyuk’s shoulders heaved violently. Although he had full body armor on, he still shouldn’t be as drenched as a drowning mouse.
This is ridiculous!
Even Royce, the 5th Hunter Wars winner and his opponent in that event’s quarterfinals, wouldn’t underestimate him. She was an incredibly tough opponent, but now that he had Soul Mecha Lazenca—the greatest of all artifacts—he was confident he could hold his own against her.
Who exactly is this lad?!
Gal Joong-Hyuk gritted his teeth as he glared at Yu Il-Shin, who was standing before him casually.
The fact that the man didn’t break a sweat during their fight and was only clad in a regular training suit filled Gal Joong-Hyuk with an inexplicable sense of terror!
“You dare challenge me with that level of skill? Are you an idiot?”
Gal Joong-Hyuk clenched his fists. “This is far from over!”
With a physique that far surpassed an ordinary human, he was second only to South Korea’s strongest: S-rank Reinforcement-type Hunter, Choi Kang-San. Yet, he couldn’t even graze a single strand of his opponent’s hair! His pride couldn’t bear the humiliation!
Baaaang!
Gal Joong-Hyuk charged toward Yu Il-Shin, his soul mecha emitting a blue aura.
“Hyaaaa—!”
With a blood-curdling roar, Gal Joong-Hyuk tried to punch Yu Il-Shin in the head. The attack was overwhelmingly powerful, especially since it was combined with Soul Mecha Lazenca’s ability.@@@@
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A thunderous crack resounded in the sky every time he swung his fists, which were the size of an adult’s head. He threw dozens of punches every second, each one so fast that they were imperceptible to the naked eye.
However, none of them landed on Yu Il-Shin.
“Reach! Reach already! Why can’t I reach you?!”
Yu Il-Shin yawned nonchalantly. “You’re too slow.”
Flick!
Suddenly, Gal Joong-Hyuk’s world spun a full circle.
Swoosh! Baaam!
Before he knew it, he’d crashed against the middle of a mountain, which soon collapsed into a landslide. Then, he fell face first into the ground.
Yu Il-Shin smiled as he bent over. “Still alive?”
Rooooar!
Instead of getting an answer, a strong tornado appeared and blew away the thick dust.
Woooong!
In the eye of the tornado was Gal Joong-Hyuk. He was aiming his gauntlet, which had transformed into a dragon’s head, at Yu Il-Shin.
“This is your last warning. Surrender or die!”
“Huh?” Yu Il-Shin’s brows twitched. He then clutched his stomach and laughed maniacally. “Pfft! Ahahaha!”
“Ugh! How could you... still laugh?”
“Look at you, trying to act tough. Go ahead, Insect. Try killing me with that cute toy of yours.”
“You’ll regret this!”
Wooong!
Gal Joong-Hyuk concentrated his will and life energy into his dragon head gauntlet.
“Soul Mecha cannon, Dragon Fist!”
- Kyaaaa!
Along with a deafening draconic roar, a massive golden beam of light pierced through the sky.
It held tremendous power that could annihilate even an S-rank monster in the blink of an eye.
Just then, a chubby man, who had been in a daze, suddenly jumped to his feet. He began banging his head against the metal wall.
“Let me out! I was framed! Why am I being locked up here?!” Tears streamed down his face.
“What crime did he commit?”
“Oh, that pig? He Awakened with stealth abilities but used them to sneak into the women’s bathhouse. Unfortunately, he got caught by an S-rank Hunter there. If I were him, I’d use it to rob a bank and smoke more joints.”
The chubby man yelled again, “I barely saw anything! All I saw was a flat-chested lady taking off her blouse! I don’t deserv—”
The chubby man was thrown into the air. Upon crashing back down, he let out a cough.
“Shut up or die.”
Although still seated, the man who had thrown him was already as tall as an adult man. Bloodlust oozed out of the pupil-less eyes under his eyelids, which a blade seemed to have scarred.
“O-okay! I’m sorry, Cheol-Du hyungnim! I’ll be quiet!”
All the other Hunters in the cell, including the skinny man, fell to their knees. He had to be the room leader. Jumping on the bandwagon, I sneaked into a corner of the room and took my place.
I wonder if they’re doing well.
Thankfully, I was only locked up temporarily, so my phone wasn’t confiscated. Still, I couldn’t make any calls or use data—not that I gave a damn. Those functions were more of a decoration, anyway.
Don’t get me wrong! It’s not because I don’t have anyone to contact or anything!
I launched God-Maker.
[Welcome to God-Maker]
[Due to your growing number of followers, you now have access to four channels.]
I found a new channel for me to get in contact with my followers.
[Antrinia Gayami nation: Holy Empress Anty and Gayami followers]
[41st floor, Tower of Warriors: Fairy Queen Aran and Fairy followers]
[42nd floor, Tower of Warriors: Warrior and Temporary Apostle, Il-Ho]
[10th floor, Tower of Warriors: Challenger Yi-Ho]
Wow, Yi-Ho has reached the 10th floor already?
Considering it’d only been a few days, his progress was pretty fast. At this rate, he’d probably catch up with Il-Ho soon.
I decided to check on Il-Ho first. I was curious about how he and the Divine Beasts were doing after they escaped from the stomach of the Beast of Deceit and Rapacity. The beautiful island of Eden greeted me on the screen.
What the hell are they doing?
Rollie, the hedgehog, shivered as she held a bizarre-looking wooden staff. Meanwhile, Il-Ho was only in his underwear, flexing his muscles.
Rollie shut her eyes tight and directed the staff at Il-Ho.
-I-I don’t know! Staff, attack Il-Ho!
A blast of lightning engulfed Il-Ho.
Boom!
-Muuuuscle—kyaaaak!
Il-Ho collapsed to the ground with half of his body charred.
What's happening?!
Millions of thoughts raced through my mind. Did Rollie betray Il-Ho?
“Il-Ho!” I yelled in surprise.
Like a possessed man, Il-Ho jumped to his feet.
-Have you called for me, O’ great and merciful God Yu Il-Shin!
Huh? How is he unharmed?
