Chapter 79: Warlord: Cataclysm
Ji-woo’s success in blocking the slashes of the Axes was because of the weights on his wrists. Despite the fact, the item was not something that would increase its sturdiness when injected with Mana. It still had resistance to sharp weapons or blunt weapons.
However, it cost Ji-woo two Obelisk Spheres. The weights on his wrists broke as it blocked the Axes. Thanks to that, he now had a weapon to properly fought the Warlord of Trolls.
Val’gard held onto the Axe Savage Monger tightly. It was his favorite weapon in his arsenal. Allowing it to get stolen was unacceptable! He took one of the spears from his back.
“Don’t act like a strong person if you rely on weapons.”
Haha–
Ji-woo laughed. “Yeah. It’s coming from the mouth of a creature that doesn’t even dare to fight bare-handed with me like other Trolls. It sure pleasing to my ears!”
Harrgh!
Val’gard screamed and went forward at full strength. He threw the spear in his hand halfway. Ji-woo saw the trajectory better and easily dodged the spear.
Clank!
The Axes of Savage Monger clashed against each other caused a deafened sound. Val’gard and Ji-woo’s physical strength was about the same. He pulled back the Axe Savage Monger and swung it after at different angles in quick succession.
Ji-woo responded faster and jumped neatly over Val’gard while also swinging the Axe Savage Monger aimed at the head.
Val’gard swiftly moved his weapon to ward off the attack by holding his Axe horizontally. He then twisted back and launched another attack while Ji-woo landed from the jump.
Ji-woo used the Axe Savage Monger to block the blow.
Bang!
He got pushed aside. And there was another attack coming from Val’gard.
Ji-woo didn’t stay still either. He counterattacked with a big swing from the side. Both he and Val’gard were in a situation where they exchanged slashes with Axes of the Savage Monger.
No one could approach the duel of the fight.
Ji-woo and Val’gard put their concentration to the max. Neither of them could afford to make a single mistake.
Those heavy Axes got swung around at a rapid pace like a meat mincer.
Val’gard’s golden blue armor shattered bit by bit from the Axe’s slashes, and some of the cleaves also injured his body.
Ji-woo didn’t fare very well too. He fought without good gear and suffered more damage than the Warlord of Trolls. His entire body got almost covered in blood. There were many cuts on it.
Thud!
Ji-woo managed to stop the rhythm of the exchange of slashes. Val’gard’s right arm bounced off. He didn’t miss the opportunity and swung the Axe Savage Monger to the neck.
Val’gard didn’t have time to use the Axe Savage Monger and chose to dodge the attack by ducking. It missed his neck and instead cut into the spear in his back.
However, Ji-woo didn’t end his offensive there. He hit Val’gard in the face with his knee, making the Warlord of Trolls fell back to the ground. He continued to swing the Axe Savage Monger, using both his hands to add more power to the slash.
The fallen Val’gard did everything to move the Axe Savage Monger to block the attack.
Zrret!
Ji-woo’s slash managed to cut off Val’gard’s right hand and even penetrated his right shoulder.
Val’gard was in pain and held the Axe Savage Monger that stuck to his right shoulder with his left hand. And he then kicked Ji-woo hard in the stomach.
Kaboom!
Val’gard got up and panted heavily. The Axe Savage Monger that got stolen before was in his possession now. Even so, he could only use one of them. He looked at the ground where his severed right hand laid.
His anger had subsided. His situation was worse than Ji-woo. His left shoulder got pierced by the spearhead, and his right shoulder was deeply injured. He no longer exuded the majestic aura of a great warrior. He held the Axe Savage Monger in one arm and felt like a worn-out soldier.
Ji-woo stood up and wiped his face. He walked closer to Val’gard. They are at the end of the fight.
“Human. It was a good fight after a long time for me. Let me give you a gift as a compliment to your strength.
“My lord, the Warlock is in the last phase of his goal. It is to cross into your world. And when that happens, your humans stand no chance against us. Especially you!”
Kikikik–
Val’gard suddenly swung the Axe Savage Monger from the left side.
But, Ji-woo charged forward instead of evading the attack. He held his breath and punched with all his might.
Duag!
The punch hit Val’gard’s face, and his helmet got broken. He fell hard to the ground.
Ji-woo didn’t stop and unleashed a barrage of punches at Val’gard in succession.
Val’gard spat out green blood profusely. His eyes and body began to lose any signs of life. He had lost so much blood.
Bang!
Ji-woo delivered his final blow to Val’gard’s chest. There was no sign of movement from Val’gard anymore, and his eyes looked blank.
Ji-woo stared at Val’gard as he gasped for air. It had been a long time for him to fight like that. Even though they looked equal, he still knew he was stronger. He solely lacked a weapon to defeat the Warlord of Trolls.
‘Ah. There’s not much power left. It should be enough to deal with those Trolls.’
Ji-woo shifted his face and observed the Trolls that surrounded the battle area. He wondered about what they wanted to do with him since their commander got defeated.
The Trolls got closer. One of them spoke with Ji-woo.
“We will fight you to the death.”
Ji-woo was ready to fight again in his tattered state with those few Trolls.
Suddenly, all the Trolls levitated into the air.
“I know problems arise after sensing the spatial dimensions has got deactivated.”
A creature with a cloak and hood covered its face showed up. It was raised hand as if it was lifting something. It then used the other hand to make a wedge motion in the air.
All the Trolls floating in the air were decapitated easily, and green blood spurted like light rain.
Ji-woo gaped at the scene. The mysterious creature that had just appeared had a power that he couldn’t measure with his current self. It seemed strange that he sensed so little Mana that creature emitted. But, it sent a shiver down his spine. It looked like seeing an endless hole.
“Now, I need to clean up the mess.”
The mysterious creature raises its hand, trying to lift Ji-woo. However, nothing happened. It changed its ways and increased its strength.
“Dominator.”
Ji-woo’s eyes lit up. And suddenly, he felt a tremendous pressure in his chest and got blown away very far back. After the throwing stopped, he sat up and vomited a lot of blood. His eyes were dim and naturally didn’t have much strength left.
Fortunately, there was a white light that came toward Ji-woo and transformed into a Dungeon Bead.
The mysterious creature appeared in front of Ji-woo. It began to act cautiously after seeing the Dungeon Bead.
Ji-woo tried to gauge the intention of the creature since it even wiped out all the remaining Trolls.
“Are you the Warlock? Those Trolls can kill me. Why bother to kill them? In the end, you want to prevent me from closing this Portal Gate, right?”
The mysterious creature tilted its head. “Val’gard is letting his mouth run off without thinking, huh? Talking about something unnecessary. Anyway, even though I don’t care about this place. It will give me a headache if it closes. This place is a special door. And you must die here to clean up this mess.”
Ji-woo could felt the sudden change in Mana flow with the mysterious creature. And he immediately broke the Dungeon Bead in his hand, preventing him from getting any further harm.
Zap, Zap–
Ji-woo, on the verge of death, still looked wary. He was worried whether the mysterious being could open another Portal Gate to come to him.
But, after waited for more than 10 minutes, nothing occurred. Ji-woo felt glad and took a breath. He currently could felt the accumulation fatigue that he had from inside the tier-4 Portal Gate. There were so many injuries, and he didn’t have any strength left to move around. He closed his eyes and chose to lie down on the ground, resting his body. He didn’t want to think about his heavy loss from the hunt in the dungeon.
Meanwhile, the mysterious creature got thrown from the dungeon and appeared in a considerably different place. It sighed. “I’m back. The Universe Gateway is still as strong as ever. However, this should open a few small doors to the human world.” What the mysterious creature said eventually really happened on Earth, the human world.
Several countries had seen the emergence of several Red Gates in succession. Meanwhile, in South Korea itself, 20 minutes after Ji-woo closed that tier-4 Portal Gate, four Red Gates across the land had appeared simultaneously. There was also the possibility that another Red Gates would appear in addition to these four.
