Branok glanced at Aldric and said, "Hey, do you notice something different with this kid, or is it just me?"
"Now that you mention, it does seem like his aura has changed…" Aldric replied.
Branok and Aldric could sense that Gaseo had become a completely different person from before. They couldn't explain what it was, but they could feel that Gaseo had grown stronger.
"Wait… Don't tell me this motherfucker just leveled up?" Branok said.
"Yea, I believe that's the case. That explains why his aura was different than before…" Aldric said.
"Fuck… This isn't looking good for us—" Branok said.
Out of nowhere, Gaseo interrupted the Demon Leaders' conversation and said, "Hey! Are you guys done talking? If yes, come let's fight again."
Glancing at Aldric, Branok whispered nervously, "W-What should we do? Should we run?"
"Huh?! Are you an idiot?! Why would proud demons like us run away from a mere human—?"
During this time:
ROAARRRR!!!
KRAARRRR!!!
GRAARRRR!!!
Suddenly, a T-Rex appeared and began rampaging, ruthlessly killing the Demon soldiers.
"Aaahhh!!! Someone help me!!!"
"Noooooooo!!! Aaaaaghhh!!!"
"I don't wanna die!!! Aaaaaaahhh!!! Help me!!!"
The Demon soldiers screamed for help.
Observing the giant T-Rex, Gaseo thought, 'Heh. A T-Rex, huh? Talk about perfect timing. I suppose I can test my newfound strength on this T-Rex.'
WHOOSH!!!
Gaseo abruptly vanished from his original position and materialized directly in front of the colossal T-Rex.
"Everyone, stay back! Leave this T-Rex to me!" Gaseo said to the Demon soldiers.
Wasting no time, the Demon soldiers listened to Gaseo and stayed back quickly.
ROAARRRRR!!!
The T-Rex roared and glared at Gaseo.
Gaseo didn't hesitate to glare back at the T-Rex as well.
"Hmph. You think I'm scared of you, Mr. T-Rex?"
ROAARRRRR!!!
The T-Rex charged at Gaseo, and just as it was about to bite him in half, a deafening noise, resembling an explosion, echoed through the air.
PUNCH!!!
BAAAAAAAAAAAAMM!!!
The T-Rex was forcefully propelled backward, crashing into tree after tree after tree.
BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!
BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!
BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!
After covering a distance of approximately 75 to 90 meters, the T-Rex came to a sudden stop, crashing onto the ground.
THUMP! THUMP! THUD!
Around 22 to 28 trees were obliterated before the T-Rex finally came to a complete stop.
"Holy shit!! What was that?!!"
"No fucking way! He killed a T-Rex with a single punch?!!"
"How's that possible?! That punch alone was enough to even kill our masters!"
When the Demon soldiers mentioned 'masters,' they were referring to their Demon Leaders.
Examining his own fists, Gaseo was astonished, not anticipating the extent of his newfound power.
'Woah, what?! My punch packed that much power? I figured it would take me a few minutes to bring down the T-Rex, but who would've guessed one punch was all it took to kill it.'
The Demon Leaders, the Demon soldiers, Kangho's friends, and Yejin's party were all left speechless with their mouths wide open.
"G-Goddam! What a monster!!"
"Crazy! That punch power was unbelieve!!"
"Damn! That T-Rex literally got smashed into oblivion!"
After Kangho's friends and Yejin's party saw what happened, they felt relieved as they were now confident that Gaseo could defeat the Demon Leaders easily.
Meanwhile, Branok and Aldric remained in shock, unable to believe what they had witnessed. It marked the first instance in their lives that they genuinely felt fear toward a mere human.
'Well, now that the T-Rex is dead, it's time to focus on the Demon Leaders next.' Gaseo thought.
When Gaseo turned around, he noticed the two Demon Leaders were already running away.
"Huh? What's this? I'm not dreaming, right?"
Gaseo was surprised and didn't expect to see them running away like that.
'To think they ran away because they were scared of me… What a joke. I always believed Demon Leaders were prideful beings, unwilling to back down easily and ready to fight to the end. Yet, observing them now, I suppose they're the complete opposite.'
From the beginning, Gaseo had already made up his mind that he was going to kill these two Demon Leaders no matter what.
'Fuck… if I don't kill those two Demon Leaders, I don't think I will feel complete…'
Gaseo endured all the pain and suffering to become stronger, solely with the aim of killing the Demon Leaders. In simple terms, if he doesn't succeed in eliminating the two Demon Leaders, it feels like all his efforts to level up were wasted for nothing.
TIME FREEZE!
WHOOSH!!!
SPRINT!!!
Without mercy, Gaseo chased them.
The Demon Leaders were fast, but not as fast as Gaseo. Perhaps if Gaseo were still B-Class, they could have outrun him. However, with his recent level-up, escaping from Gaseo was now impossible.
Unfortunately, at this point of time, they were already very far away, so even with 'Time Freeze' activated, Gaseo would still need some time to catch up to them.
From a distance, Gaseo's voice echoed, "Hey, cowards! Stop running and fight me like a real man!"
The Demon Leaders remained silent in response to Gaseo and persisted in their attempt to escape.
"Hey, Aldric! I don't think it's wise to stick together, so let's go our separate ways!" Branok said.
"Sounds good! Yeah, let's do that!" Aldric replied.
With this, they split up and went their own separate ways.
'Damn, those sons of a bitch! They're just trying to make things harder for me.' Gaseo thought.
After their separation, Gaseo faces the decision of whom to target first, as he can only pursue one direction.
'This is hard to decide, but whatever! I'll kill that Demon Assassin first and deal with the other one later.'
The Demon Assassin that Gaseo was talking about was Branok.
Actually, Gaseo was so close to catching up to them. If he could only activate 'Time Freeze' skill one more time, he would have caught up to them. Unfortunately, at this time, his skill was on cooldown.
'So close, yet so far. If only my Time Freeze skill weren't on cooldown, I would've caught up to them by now… Jeez, looks like they got lucky this time.'
