The fireball seemed to be flying towards me at high speed. I quickly took a few steps back, and I readied my stance to block the fireball.
"Everyone dodge a fireball aiming at us!" One hunter shouted at another to dodge the fireball's attack.
The hunters seemed to have frozen because they were scared and couldn't run away anymore. I have no other choice but to endure it, but I think I will receive a wound after enduring this attack.
The fireball was getting closer to me, I drew my sword and gave a vertical slash towards the fireball.
Immediately there was a big explosion, and the wind blew all the hunters and monsters around the explosion.
I was thrown into a building, and I was injured. I slowly got up from where I was, and I looked at the situation around me. At least all the hunters who were here didn't suffer fatal injuries.
It'll be hard for me to fight with this kind of wound, and I don't think it's the demon's strongest attack. I'm not sure if I can fight against that demon again.
"Hunter Lee Won Myung you're hurt!" There was a voice that said it was heard from a distance. And it turned out to be Pyon Hee-Ra, she ran up to me.
"Why are you here? What about the others?" I asked him.
"They can withstand the attacks of other monsters, but you are injured. You must return to camp!" Pyon Hee-Ra looked really worried to me when she said that.
"I can't, if I come back the demon will kill other hunters. I have to fight it!" I slowly stood up and moved away from Pyon Hee-Ra to fight back against the demon.
I walked, and my body felt heavy. I won't be able to move fast.

Damn, my HP has decreased this much. And I don't have that much mana either. I don't know how long I can last, but I will fight anyway.
"Activate the necro eye!" I activated the necro eye so I could communicate with the Lich.
"Lich how's the situation in the south?"
"For now they can still withstand it, but many hunters are exhausted. And most of the monsters are now being restrained by your skeletons."
"What do you think is the way to fight that demon?"
"Demons do look like humans, but they have tails. And their tails are their weakness."
"Is there a way to reach the demon's tail? I guess it will be difficult to attack the tail with my current strength."
"There's no way, you have to fight it and injure its tail directly."
"That seems to be the case... then I'll give it a try. You go back south and help them all."
"Disable Necro Eye"
After that I walked to the near the portal again to fight the demon. I just remembered, isn't hunter Ryu Young Soo also fighting one of those demons. How is he now? Damn I have to hurry.
I ran quickly towards the portal even though my body ached. After I got there I saw the two demons fighting, but I couldn't clearly see who they were fighting with.
Was it the hunter Ryu Young Soo who was fighting the two demons? There's too much dust and smoke around here, I can't see clearly.
"Hunter Ryu Young Soo! Are you okay?!" I shouted in the fog to confirm the state of Hunter Ryu Young Soo.
"I'm fine! Hunter Akiya Junzo and Hase Nariko came to help!"
What? It turned out that Akiya Junzo and Hase Nariko's hunts also came towards the portal to fight the two demons. It seemed they were able to fight quite well against the two demons.
Slowly the fog and smoke started to fade and I could see them fighting. Akiya Junzo fought one on one with the demon I fought earlier, while hunter Ryu Young Soo and Hase Nariko fought the other demon.
It seemed they could fight quite well against the two demons.
Hunter Akiya Junzo was extraordinary, he fought the demon in a balanced way. He didn't let the demon use spells, and he attacked the demon continuously.
Can they win like this? But why do I feel that the demon still hasn't unleashed its full power? His eyes seemed to be paying attention to something else while he was fighting.
The two demons were extremely powerful, not only did they possess extraordinary magical abilities. They can also do close combat well.
The two demons did not appear to be seriously injured when fighting the S-Rank hunters. Even the other demon can follow the speed of hunter Hase Nariko who has a Ghostwalker class.
For now I will analyze the movements of the two demons. And I'm figuring out what they're trying to do. I guess they were just trying to buy time during the fight.
The number of monsters coming out of the portal is also getting less and less, the hunters can still withstand the attacks of all the monsters. But I felt something was odd. I don't know what it is.
I looked around me, and there was a wyvern. I quickly drew my sword and killed the wyvern before it flew back into the air.
After that I tried to resurrect the wyvern into my skeleton army.
"Rise from the dead!" Slowly the wyvern's body was filled with black aura and turned into a skeleton.
After that I got on top of the skeleton wyvern and told it to fly up into the sky. Woah... this wyvern moves really fast, it's crazier than I thought. I was in the air, and I could see my surroundings clearly.
Like the Lich said the southern area is still holding up and my skeleton army is fighting well. And it seems other areas can still survive the attacks of the monsters.
I was quite high in the air and I could watch the demon fight with the other S-Rank hunters. As expected, the two demons weren't cornered at all despite receiving various attacks from 3 S-Rank hunters.
They fought as if they didn't care. They looked too calm, but I still didn't understand what they were trying to do.
"Hey, I feel a strong mana pressure from the direction of the portal. I think something's going on." The voice suddenly came out of nowhere.
"Is that a Lich? Why can you talk to me from afar?!" I was a little surprised.
"It can indeed be done even if you don't activate the necro eye."
"You should have told me earlier!"
"Forget it, you should check the portal. I sense something strange about the portal."
"Okay I'll take a look."
Then I told my skeleton wyvern to fly a little lower so I could see the portal clearly.
Just when I had flown a little lower I could feel a strong pressure escaping from the portal. I don't know why it happened, doesn't such great mana pressure only occur when a portal break is about to occur?
Why can there be so much mana pressure after the portal break has occurred? Is this what the two demons were waiting for?
I flew towards the hunter Akiya Junzo who was fighting the demon.
"Hunter Akiya Junzo, be careful! There's something strange about that portal!" He looked at me, but he didn't seem to understand what I was saying. Finally I just gave a gesture and I pointed towards the portal.
He glanced slightly at the portal and he nodded his head at me. Looks like he got what I mean, he should have sensed something strange about the portal too.
Then I flew towards Hunter Ryu Young Soo and Hase Nariko. I tried to warn them about the same.
"Hunter Ryu Young Soo! Be careful, there's something strange about the portal!" Then Hunter Ryu Young Soo glanced at the portal and he gave me a thumbs up. It seems he already understands what I mean.
My body feels better now, it seems the wound is slowly healing. I think I can fight again now.
While I was flying in the sky with my skeleton wyvern, suddenly something came out of the portal.
The mana pressure around the portal grew stronger, even Akiya Junzo and the others stopped their fight with the two demons.
They kept their distance from the portal because they didn't know what appeared from inside the portal.
I drew closer to the portal with my skeleton wyvern to get a better look at what was emerging from the portal.
After a while it looks like a monster's snout is slowly coming out of the portal. The two demons were seen approaching the portal.
And when the monster slowly came out of the portal I could see clearly, its long neck, big body, strong looking wings, and also its head has horns.
It was a dragon, I was speechless and just watched the dragon emerge from within the portal. Akiya Junzo and the other S-Rank hunters also looked very surprised by the appearance of the dragon.
Will we be able to survive this S-Rank portal attack? Those were the only words that popped into my head.
