"Kuh! Ugh!"
A single instant attack towards me .
All 3 level 100 shields shattered pathetically .
I had even Awakened the Reflect Shield .
An amount of damage I never seen or even heard of .
At my stomach, two holes each the size of my fists appeared .
Like an open facet, blood poured out .
My organs began to spill out one by one .
'Ma… Mana Shield!'
I fell on my knees .
Both Banwol Jincheon had left my hands a long time ago .
This kind of a lethal attack, I have not received since the Kelvacore .
With all my strength, I covered the whole in my stomach .
Despite that, blood continued to pour out without any signs of slowing down .
Who did it . A person who'd be able to deal such an insane amount of damage with precision .
Regaining my composure, I casted heal with the hand that was covering the wound .
With the other hand that was holding onto the ground, I focused to make sure I continued casting Mana Shield .
The 200 or so left, as if waiting for this final chance, was firing off all their highest ranking magic and physical attacks on me .
If I did not level up my heal to 100, I would not be able to get out of this dire situation .
The punctured stomach began to heal .
My body began to regain the warmth lost from all the blood loss, as well as the color that was turning pale beforehand .
It was quite the dire situation .
Everything almost ended in one attack .
"Ha . . Ha… That was dangerous . "
It was a crucial mistake to cancel my Mana Shield due to time constraints .
My wound healed perfectly .
Now that it came down to this, I could not abandon the Mana Shield .
Guess I have to use one hand to defend and the other to attack .
My highest damage skills Meteor and Iceberg both had a cast time of 4 minutes .
And they also had the cooldown of 4 minutes .
Instead of those 2 skills, I had to use the lower cooldown Fire Shock to cause as much as damage as possible .
Each of my hands held Banwol Jincheon once more, and I glared at them with fury .
Watching me regain my composure, their faces filled with fear .
Some of them even began to back away .
It's to be expected though, since there was someone using skills from all classes without a care in front of them .

With fearful looks, they looked to one another .
Those who were backing away dashed towards the exit .
However, it was only for a moment .
Those who ran towards the exit, their heads were chopped off by the secretary with the sunglasses before they could even get near it .
Cleaning the blood off the blade, the secretary said to the shaking crowd .
"Fight . Master did not give the order to retreat . "
The body that had its head chopped off was still standing .
Like a fountain, blood began to spray from the neck .
Those around the headless man could do nothing but cry .
The secretary pointed his sword once more at the crowd .
Only now did they seem to have snapped out of fear .
I decided to take care of the extras after I take care of Park Hyun and her guards .
I couldn't continue to waste time .
I casted 'Brave's Protection', its red hue enveloping me .
Increasing my attack power, I swiftly dashed to Park Hyun's location .
30 minutes left!
Due to the long fight, seems they're running out of mana .
They did pour all their skills at me .
Definitely low on mana .
All warriors stopped their ranged attacks and began to close in for close quarter combat .
They were in my way to Park Hyun .
"Out of my way!"
Extras that aren't even being protected by the healers .
One Fire Shock was enough .
"A-… . . "
The Awakeneds that tried to Cut, Heavy Slash, and use such skills became ash .
Despite burning them to ashes, the flames still burned fiercely .
I ran through them, spreading fire .
At my 1700 strength stat slashing, those resisting were hacked apart .
Blue, the devil avatar arrived near Park Hyun .
It was the only one still alive .
It raised a giant knife that looked like a table knife to the skies .
On the blade, there were bloody remains of its victims .
The blood of the Awakened that were chopped apart without remorse were frozen into icicles from the frost aura .
With its roar, countless icicles began to fall from the sword .
However, Park Hyun and her guards did not react .

The avatar's skill that rained icicles were about to swallow them .
It was then .
"Block it, Shetrick . "
Park Hyun opened her mouth .
The elderly lady standing within the group .
The one who had reported the total count of the assembled to Park Hyun .
Staring at me directly as I charged at her, she raised her hand and released a massive flame tornado .
The fierce ice attack disappeared without a trace .
Seemed to be a magician class .
'Definitely someone to worry about . '
Her focus changed from me to the avatar .
Since the skill became useless, it swung its sword .
Suddenly, the staff that the elder was holding onto became huge .
It turned into a sword made of magma, pulsing molten rock as if alive .
Arriving to the giant avatar's head, she precisely struck without any wasteful movement . With that, the avatar was destroyed instantly .
I had used Louver's Bracelet to cast Devil Avatar .
But she was skilled enough to take that out in one hit .
Blue did its job .
He distracted them and bought me time .
I could've gotten to them faster using Teleport, but there is a reason why I ran at them .
It was because I was in the middle of casting Meteor Call .
The casting finished, and a level 40 Meter was falling atop of them .
All tanks came together .
No matter what kind of a tank you are, it wouldn't be enough to block an attack like this .
The armor they wore shattered apart into dust .
But guess they used all the mana they had left to use defensive skills .
There were still 3 secretaries, Shetrick, and Park Hyun herself still standing behind them .
I took another step towards them .
'Gravity Laser . '
They had spent all their mana, and could do nothing as the laser enveloped their forms .
Max range . Area of effect . There was no way the extras could live .
Now, 5 were left .
The final bosses .
I stood before them .
'Iceberg . '
An icy aura began to form at the tip of my sword .

It took 4 minutes to cast .
Putting the sword on my shoulders, I asked .
"Do you still think I can't escape alive?"
"… You arrogant little shit . "
Holding onto her wand with enough force to cause cracks, she grinded her teeth .
There was only one way out of this battlefield .
And it was behind me .
"You said you'll be going to the guild battle soon? Guess you don't have anyone to bring anymore . Maybe you could put some of the bloody chucks of flesh back together . "
"I'll rip your tongue out!"
"Ah . Let me ask . The attack that broke all my shields . Who did it?"
"… . . "
"Looks like it's not the four left here . Must be the assassin who tried using the Dagger Throw?"
"Kill!"
Obeying her command, the three secretaries pulled their swords out and charged .
They moved as one, striking at me in one fluid movement .
Their attacks had no chance to work on me .
The bloody sword was blocked by the Mana Shield, shaking in its tracks .
Pulling back their swords, they fixed their stance and stuck right by me .
Looking at their attack with leisure, I focused only on casting Iceberg .
With incredible speed they slashed .
Trying to cut down my shield with Whirlwind?
"You think you can cut me? Try using a blender . You got 2 minutes until you get sent to the afterlife . "
"KWAHHH!"
The sunglasses man casted Piercing Sword like a madman .
Countless swords came towards me .
But they didn't move as he intended .
It was a skill that caused damage by going through the target repeatedly .
But the swords that were blocked by the shields fell to the floor weakly .
The swords continued to pour, but the result was the same .
"1 minute . "
It was then .
"GAH! YOU CRAZY LITTLE SHIT!"
I was casting Mana Shield without a doubt .
But how could this be?
My wounds were reopening .
This wasn't an attack skill that was beyond ranking .
And there was nobody nearby who had that capability .
Even if there was, this wasn't an injury from an attack .
'Perhaps . '
That's it . It was Park Hyun's 'Status Negation . '
The skill was used to return the target back to its healthy status before receiving an injury .
However, this bitch had used it to return me back to the state of being injured .
Since it was a healing type of spell, Mana Shield did not recognize it as an attack and could not block the skill .
The secretary's Piercing Sword targeted my whole body once more .
If I can just focus, I can make it .
Seems his mana also ran out .
Piercing Sword costed 10% of your max mana afterall .
It also looked like the Whirlwind used before took a lot as well .
"ORAAAA!"
Yelling out what was a mix of screaming and yelling, I finished casting Iceberg .
Immediately I poured healing on myself .
With its massive range, even Shetrick got caught up despite being positioned far back .
Almost like doing puzzles or a rubix cube, the inside of the iceberg shifted .
With it splitting the targets apart and the massive temperature drop at an incredible rate, Iceberg delivered a massive amount of damage .
Shetrick was holding on using her Mana Shield .
However, there was no way she had the mana capacity to receive a level 40 Iceberg .
Other than Park Hyun, the targets were shattered apart to the point where it was hard to recognize their forms .
I was too busy healing to watch them die though .
"Making a hole in my stomach twice . Damn! I won't let you die so easily . Park Hyun!"
"M…monster! You monster!"
Park Hyun started to back away, trembling like a leaf .
Even if she was a murderer, she was at her own execution .
If someone saw the noose that would hang them, they would probably have this expression .
She too was a person .
I healed enough to be able to move around again .
One of the 4 that was trapped in the Iceberg, I could see a piece containing a wrist .
The wristwatch read 7:45 pm .
"There's still 15 minutes left!"
Even I'd admit that only a devil would say those words .
If you asked how far can humanity's cruelty go…
The answer could be the mass murder I committed today .
"For you bitch, this is only the beginning!"
