Chapter 109
The forest was filled with an eerie silence.
Seol suddenly appeared from the forest after becoming a shadow himself.
Malacus, the blind Shadow Hunter, appeared shortly after as well.
Grrrrr...
"I will kill every last Shadow Summoner."
"Everyone has their desires, so I'll respect it."
"...I will free all of your shadows from you. That is what's best for them."
"I will respect that too. Now, let me tell you what I desire."
Seol stared down Malacus.
"I will beat you down for doing that to Mirei."
"You cannot defeat me. Do you even know how many Shadow Summoners I've killed?"
"I don't, and that doesn't matter to me at all. After all, they weren't me. Comparison is pointless."
"...I will make you regret your arrogance."
Slide...
Malacus disappeared in an instant, likely due to activating an artifact. Even so, Seol could still faintly sense his presence, indicating he was still here.
[You are within the influence zone of 'A Place Without Light'.]
[You are a shadow.]
[All of your stats are decreased by 20%.]
'So this was why he was so confident.'
Malacus didn't taunt Seol and Jamad for no reason.
Even so...
'Even if my stats are decreased by 20%... My stats are so high that it's pointless.'
A mountain doesn't cease to be a mountain simply because it loses a chunk of stone.
Seol was overwhelmingly powerful right now.
Bark! Bark!
[Dir, the Hunting Dog, used Pounce.]
[Deal 50% additional damage, unless the attack is perfectly blocked.]
'So that hunting dog had skills too.'
Seol could observe him with Eyes of Perception if he wanted to but decided it was unnecessary.
Fwooosh...
Baaaam!
Dir was shocked by the swing of Seol's fist and backed away.
The fight could have been easily over if Seol had just landed that attack.
"Dir!"
Ffft!
"It's pointless."
Grab!
Grab!
Seol's Shadow Hand flew out, grabbing the arrows once more.
Crush!
It was clear that no matter how many arrows Malacus shot, none would ever reach Seol.
"You lost, Malacus."
"...I admit that you are strong. However, it is still too early to claim your victory."
Grrrrrrr...
The forest turned silent once more as Seol received new messages.
[Malacus used an Elixir of Revenge.]
