Chapter 42

‘There were guests who arrived first.’

Sooho, who had secured the hostages as soon as he appeared, glanced at the eyes focused on him.

After reading the memories of Secretary Kim, he immediately came to the Stardust research lab, where a fierce battle was already taking place.

‘There are about 30 Hunters for 10 hostages.’

Every time Sooho’s gaze met them, the Hunters flinched. Due to his somewhat shocking entrance, it felt like the air around them had stopped.

“Ugh…”

The only thing that could be heard piercing through the heavy silence was the groans of Park Jongchul, who had lost his arm and leg and was lying on the ground like a bug.

“What are you doing, you bastards!? Don’t just sit there like idiots, fight! Fight…!”

Suddenly, the Hunters of the Fiend Guild, who regained their senses from Park Jongchul’s harsh words, sprang into action.

“That’s right! He’s just one guy!”
“Let’s all attack together!”

“Aaaah!”

The attacks aimed at the Association Hunters turned their direction and flew toward Sooho.

It was a battle of 30 against 1.

Since the minimum unit of a raid team was 10, it was like three raid teams were rushing toward Sooho to kill him.

But Sooho had no intention of being a sitting duck. He lifted his head and looked up at the ceiling.

‘Ruler’s Authority.’

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! An invisible hand burst the fluorescent lights on the ceiling one by one.

“What the, what’s happening!?”

The Hunters attacking Sooho stopped in confusion as the vision suddenly went dark. Even for Hunters, it took some time to adjust their eyes to darkness when the vision suddenly went pitch black.

‘But I don’t need it.’

Sooho immediately flew through the darkness. He had come in wearing a crow mask that brightened his vision, aiming for this.

Splat! Chachachachachak!

“Ah!”

“Ugh!”

“Kuh!”

Screams erupted from all over the darkness.

“Be careful, he’s attacking… Argh!”

In an instant, five of them collapsed, drenched in blood.

“Fire!”

Swoosh! At that moment, someone conjured up a fireball that illuminated the surroundings. But by then, the figure of Sooho had already disappeared without a trace.

The Hunters’ eyes darted around frantically.

“Find him now!”

This research lab was a hideout cherished by Vice Master Lee Minsung. It would be a shame to the Fiend Guild’s name to let it fall into the hands of a mere intruder like this.

“Healers, attend to the wounded! Don’t scatter, regroup and fight!”

They moved according to the manual, even in this unexpected situation. They outnumbered the enemy anyway. They had the upper hand as long as they focused on taking him down.

Swoosh! Swoosh! More fireballs appeared, pushing back the darkness.

However…

‘You guys are already my prey.’
