Magnus of Ice

CEASELESS GROWTH Pt.2

'Fuck... Why did I agree to this raid?' He thought as he looked on with fear at the current bloodbath that was occurring. 'Hopefully, I make it out alive....'

"Fuck! H-how is an E-ranker moving like this?" The buzz-cut hunter shouted while slashing at Jin-Woo with his sword. Though he was swinging, none of his attacks connected, causing panic to rise within him. "My attacks aren't hitting!! He's too fast!" Due to his panic, his slashes started to get sloppier and more forceful; as he released more strength to slash, his every attack slowly let off wind pressure.

"Fuck this!" He yelled as he turned to run, only to fall face first into the ground that was now covered in ice. "The fuck... What happened?" He questioned as he started to get on his hands and knees. What his hands were touching was supposed to be the floor; instead, it was a blanket of ice spread to every person except Jin-Ho and Dong-Suk. As everyone saw this, they instinctively checked their feet. What followed was a cacophony of screams and curse words was heard.

"FUCK!"

"AHHH!"

"THE FUCK IS THIS!"

A soft chuckle came from Jin-Woo, completely destroying the terrifying image that everyone had in mind. "Dumb ass," was all Jin-Woo said as he made a small cut on the buzz-cut hunter's face, allowing chance and luck to play a part in this battle. Compared to Jin-Woo's soft chuckle, Magnus was full-on, clutching his stomach, hunched over, laughing his ass off.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You fucking dumbass! That was highly embarrassing, watching you fall face first." Magnus shouted in between bursts of laughter. Then, slowly calming down, he wiped a nonexistent tear from his eye as he walked slowly towards the now trapped hunters.

"Fuck, man, this is way too easy. Say, aren't you guys hunters?" Magnus asked as he disappeared from his location, reappearing next to the hooded hunter. He chose this one specifically because he dressed like a mage, wanting to look fabulous with a cape. The hooded hunter almost passed out as he felt Magnus's breath on his ear and whispered, "Shouldn't you be hunting?"

'Fuck-' was the last thing the hooded one thought as his head was cleanly cut off from the rest of his body.

"He's got a point. Hunters were made to hunt, no?" Jin-Woo continued as he was the only other one who heard Magnus's words. Inhaling a sharp breath through his teeth, Jin-Woo dashed toward the remaining two hunters.

"Careful! I don't know why, but my body isn't m-moving anymore since I got cut!" The buzz-cut hunter said as blood started to converge at his eyeballs. "Hmm?" Magnus turned to see the said hunter only to read the following.

[EFFECT: PARALYSIS HAS ACTIVATED.]

"Ah, makes sense," was all he said as he noticed the remaining two hunters raise their weapons to strike at Jin-Woo. One had a rifle, while the other had a mace. "M-magic? Do you think it's magic?" The hunter with the rifle asked as he looked through his scope, aiming it at Jin-Woo, or at least where he thought Jin-Woo was about to appear. Before pulling the trigger, an ice wall was erected right in front of the barrel as Magnus appeared next to this one and said, "The fuck you think your doing."

Without waiting for a response, Magnus swung his scythe, releasing the head from its confines, i.e., the neck. The mace hunter swung when he thought Jin-Woo had arrived next to him, only for him to hit the ice-covered ground. Not only did he miss, but he also experienced a ricochet of his mace, sending a tingling sensation from his arms to the rest of his body. "You missed," Jin-Woo whispered as he cut the hunter on the forearm with his dagger. "You son of a bitch!"

Jin-Ho was watching all of this happen, and all he could mutter was, "So... strong." Jin-Woo might have been too busy killing the hunters to hear what Jin-Ho said, but Magnus wasn't. When he listened to what he said, he had a smug look on his face as he thought, 'That's right. My baby is strong.' "If I'm not wrong, then the both of them are stronger now... than when they fought the dungeon boss."
