Chapter 301 - Dreadbone Part 2

*I'm sorry if different nation characters might've interacted with some things that are controversial in real life that might be referenced here. Deeply sorry.*

( Minutes Earlier, During the moments before Haechi explodes. )

( Inside the deep sea. )

"( Shit! I can't get off, I refuse to die now before this living spirit bomb, explodes on me. )" Dreadbone says as he then sees the moments before Haechi explodes.

As it happens, Dreadbone then realized that something is swimming around him.

"( Need help, Elite VI? )" the 'something' asks him using her mind.

"( Oh, you! )"

"( Can you use whatever skill to help me? )" Dreadbone asks nicely to the being he talks to using his mind link with her.

"( Of course, let me protect you. )"

"( But don't forget to protect yourself too, Dreadbone. )" says the being as she protects Dreadbone before the explosion happened.

...

( In the present. )

[ Location: 'YukiKamon Splendor' Smoking Deck. ]

"( He survived Haechi!? How!? )" Jun-woo wonders while trying to recharge, he tries to sense Dreadbone who decides to spare his energy rather than keep shooting rapidly.

Dreadbone sits on the deck's floor, trying to recover his energy, and patiently waits for Shim Jun-woo and Choi Shin-jae to be bored with hiding and come out.

*Dreadbone's stomach growls*

As it growls, Dreadbone decides to put up something from his sleeves, a snack, a simple snack.

" Guess one 'Snickers' would be nice. " Dreadbone says to himself, he pick one Snickers up because he liked it not because he was endorsed.

While Dreadbone had some snacks, Jun-woo looks at Shin-jae who is still hurt despite his ice already trying to freeze the wounds and the pain.

* Shin-jae grunts, his right droll tears for a bit.*

Choi Shin-jae tries to hold the pain while filled with anger, he compresses the wounded jaw with the ice even more.

" *mumbles* (Motherf*er, my jaw!!!) *mumbles* " Shin-jae grunts hard.

"( We need to get Shin-jae to the medic nearby, his wounds need treatment. )" Jun-woo thinks in his mind.

"( But still, it bothers me... )"

"( Why did Dreadbone stop shooting or just stay put in the deck? )"

"( When he could've just charged and attacked us? )" Jun-woo wonders.

"( Last of all... )"

"( Where are the others? they should've come out, bring their weapons shot the Gift Skills, and spread themselves around by now... )"

"( Where are they? Why haven't seen someone inside my area for minutes past? )" Jun-woo began to wonder as he then hears loud noises from far, still close to his area but he could hear that the loud noises are the loud noises of battle.

"( These noises, this sensation... )"

"( Shit, I should've known, no monster would attack a ship filled with capable Gifted Users, especially in huge yachts that were filled by many of 'em. )"

"( Dreadbone must've had accomplices, why I realized it so late!? )" Jun-woo knocks his own head for realizing it too late.

" Hmmm!? " Dreadbone sees Jun-woo coming out from his hiding place.

" You came out from your hiding, alone? " Dreadbone asks as he could tell Jun-woo is recovering his depleted energy.

" I'll be the one who faces you, leave Choi Shin-jae alone. " Jun-woo says while preparing his stance.

[ Assaulting Steps Stance ]

" You will not pass me. " Shim Jun-woo says to Dreadbone.

" 'You will not pass', you think yourself the f*kin Gandalf, hey Mr. First Rank Hunter of Korea, huh? " Dreadbone asks.

" If that's what you're thinking, then I will be the f*kin 'Balrog' that will drag you into the abyss. "

" But this time, with your recklessly-weakened state, I'll make sure to kill without you getting a glimpse of miracles, you Gandalf-wannabe. " Dreadbone prepares himself as he then shoots his Bone Arrows over Jun-woo.

Jun-woo swiftly deflects the Bones, using his Martial Arts, and as his Gift Energy slowly replenishes he begins to perform his Gift Ability Martial Arts.

[ Flame Divine Spirit Manifestation ]

[ Divine Spirit Mere Manifest, Haechi's Arms ]

[ The Divine Spirit, Haechi manifests some of its arms for combat support. ]

" [Hive Defense Arts Technique, Hive's Attack Repel] " With the support of [Haechi's Arms], Jun-woo repels the Bone Arrows while also burning them thanks to flaming arms' flames.

" So that's how it's gonna be. " Dreadbone says as he then shifts his weapon.

" Guess I have to go into this, even if it often hurts me. "

[ Bone Weaponize ]

[ Dreadblade Chainsaw ]

*Dreadbone grunts in pain.*

Dreadbone is not used to this type of weapon, for his hand shifted into a chainsaw.

" When I arose from the ground, Master 'White Demon' added some 'materials' into my body, to my bones. "

" It often hurts me since I'm not really used to it, but over time, as time flies, I became better with it, ouch. " Dreadbone smirks while seeing his shifted chainsaw hand.

" Let's start with this, shall we...? "

" Shim Jun-woo!? " Dreadbone asks as he quickly charges with his Chainsaw.

"( He's fast. )" Jun-woo quickly uses the [Haechi's Arms] to rain fist upon Dreadbone.

" [Hive Defense Arts Technique, Hive's Army's Rain Assault ] "

" From defense to offense, huh, Jun-woo!? " Dreadbone shouts while his chainsaw strikes and clashes with Jun-woo's rain of [Haechi's Arms].

*Dreadbone grins.*

" Huh!? " Jun-woo realizes the grin and sees Dreadbone's chainsaw begin to destroy his rain of attacks effortlessly, as Dreadbone continues to advance, to save himself from being wounded, Jun-woo decided to dodge it and use another technique.

"( [Hive Defense Arts Technique, Counter Whirlwind Slam] )"

"( You're unbalanced, you push too much on advancing with your attack. )" Jun-woo quickly slams Dreadbone into the ground using his unbalanced moment, he slams Dreadbone so hard into the ground and attempts to stomp him.

[ Flame Divine Spirit Manifestation ]

[ Divine Spirit Mere Manifest, Haechi's Foot ]

[ Haechi's Stomp ]

As Jun-woo attempts to stomp, Dreadbone quickly whirls himself to evade it as he then wastes no time to attack Jun-woo again by first throwing things onto him.

"( [Hive Defense Arts Technique, Hive's Attack Repel] )" Jun-woo repels all of it, but as he wonders why Dreadbone did it, Dreadbone already came to him with his chainsaw, this time, since he caught Jun-woo by surprise, Jun-woo had no choice but to let all of the [Haechi's Arms] to combine and shield himself from the attack.

"( [Hive Defense Arts Technique, Hive's Unbreakable Fortress] )"

" Gotcha, you fool! " Dreadbone says as he with his clash attack, despite still not being able to chainsaw his body, the clash still resulted in his win which blasts Jun-woo away with force.

" Keurkh! " Jun-woo gets thrown into a nearby deck stand pole, he managed to stand his feet on the ground to minimize himself being blasted away more, as his feet crush the floor to make himself still on the ground.

"( Dammit, his chainsaw are so sharp and sturdy, I could feel it through the [Haechi's Arms], even Haechi itself feels a great amount of pain while it recovers its full strength. )"

"( Something's wrong, this 'monster-person's body is no longer 'natural' in the monster or demon sense, none of them had a sturdy body like this to even physically 'force' a Divine Spirit' Manifestation. )"

"( Don't tell me, he... )" Jun-woo gets a glimpse of what may Dreadbone refer to as 'Materials' earlier, but as he thinks about it, Dreadbone wastes no time and attacks Jun-woo and cuts him by the arm while he's stunned and tries to stand up again.

" Grrh! " Jun-woo grunts in pain, while Dreadbone prepares to attack the head this time.

" Grkh! " from behind, Dreadbone was attacked by a hard sword made from ice, it clangs with his sturdy bone-armored body.

" It's you... " Dreadbone sees Choi Shin-jae, who attacks him from behind and glares at him with sharp glares.

" Cunning bastard. " Dreadbone says as he sees Shin-jae.
