People covered their eyes while some hidden powerhouse was unfazed by the blinding light. These powerhouses were astonished.
The explosion made Han-Joo-woon step back. It didn't harm him at all. He has an item that prevents him from suffering fatal damage. It activated automatically.
However, it can only be activated once a week.
Hwang Myeong-suk exploited the situation, she was not affected by the light. With a little bit of her last strength, she stabbed Han Joo-woon's chest. The tip of the sword is covered by her aura energy.
"Haap!"
Han Joo-woon felt pain in his chest. In just a minuscule second he was helpless. Thankfully, he wore an armor that was at least an S-rank. He only flew backward.
"Sh.it! That f.u.ckinh hurts you b.i.tch!! Argh!!" Although that strike wasn't fatal. He suffered internal injuries from the impact.
Then the blinding light calmed down. Han Joo-woon quickly stood up. He does not care about the pain, he is filled with anger that a lower rank can injure him. This was a humiliation.
"If I don't kill you today. I Han Joo-Woon will be restless for life. This shame, will brought upon you!! Die you b.itch!" His expression was crazed as he hacked with all his might.
Hwang Myeong-suk did not have any strength to continue. She was half kneeling on the floor. Her eyes are droopy as she is about to fall asleep.
At the last second. Imchul and Jin Hyunjun appeared in front of her. Imchul with his shield, Blocked the attack. He could feel the terrifying power behind Han Joo-woon's strike.
Thankfully, he was used to being a practice target by everyone. Kim Yo-han constantly trained Imchul by blocking an attack from an S-rank.
In short, he was used to it.
"Huh?! Why are you interfering you bastards? This battle is between her and me?! Get away!?" Han Joo-woon got agitated.
"Hyung-nim! We will deal with them!" Han Joo-woon's lackeys stepped up.
"Humph! Kill them for me!"
"Hahaha, sure Hyung-nim!"
His lackeys instantly surrounded the trio. The situation became stagnant. Waiting for someone to make a move.
Jin Hyunjun and Imchul were calm as if they didn't have any worries. Which left Han Joo-woon and his lackeys vigilant.
Han Joo-woon looks at Kim Hayan's side. He saw her hugging the arm of the black-robbed man. Her expression contains worries and slight relief.
"Someone try to watch those guys!" Han Joo-woon pointed at Kim Yo-han and the girls.
Some of the lackeys approach Kim Yo-han. The crowd dispersed around them quickly. They don't want to be involved with them. They were just a bunch of individuals who liked to watch fighting.
If you worry about where the authorities are. They are watching with the crowd, just like the people they want to watch. This is only a form of entertainment for them as in this world, fighting is a must.
This is why the streets are big. Street fights like this are uncommon. If you just walk for a few kilometers you will find another one happening.
This doesn't mean the authorities will not make a move. They will only move if the assailants harm the innocents and damage public property.
"Hayan unnie. If you don't want to harm your companions. I can give you away!" As if he has realized something. Han Joo-woon suddenly had an idea. He grinned and licked his lips.
All his lackeys were A-ranks and they outnumbered Kim Yo-han and his team. He was confident he had the upper hand.
"..." Kim Hayan look at him with disgust.
She already knew what this bastard was thinking.
"Hayan unnie if you come with me and become my woman. I will let your friends go and let them live. You don't want to lose your friends, don't you?"
"..."
"I'll give you 10 seconds Hayan unnie. If you don't give me an answer, I will kill everyone around you." Han Joo-woon spread his arms as if he already controlled the situation.
His lackeys were grinning as they readied their weapons.
"Come on Hayan unnie if you don't say anything. Everyone is going to die." Han Joo-woon was getting upset. Kim Hayan did not answer him no matter how much he threatened.
Han Joo-woon glared at the person Kim Hayan was clinging to. "Who is that Hayan unnie? Is the reason you're not saying anything because of that bastard? Men! Grab that bastard for me?"
"Han Joo-woon do not make this worse!" Finally, Kim Hayan responded. She got angry when Han Joo-woon called her little brother 'bastard'.
"Oh, you're talking. So he is important to you? Hehehe, If you don't want anything is happen to this guy. You better make a decision right now before I lose my patience."
Murmurs on the crowd. They can't help but find Han Joo-woon's actions despicable. Even the authorities cursed him for his actions. The authorities will make a move if Han Joo-woon forces the woman against her will. Fights are alright but criminal acts are a big no.
"Get that person over for me!"
"Yes, Hyung-nim!"
The lackeys slowly move toward, Kim Yo-han, the girls, and 'John'. Kim Hana took out her bow and arrow, aiming at the incoming lackeys.
"Stop!" Kim Hana urged.
"Heh, Girl I advised putting that down. You heard our boss, we only want that person!"
"Do you think I will allow you!?" Kim Hana snickered.
"It's not up to you, little girl. At this close distance, your bow is useless."
"Who decides that?! Do you want to test my arrow!"
Kim Hana was also angered by these despicable people. Even more so, she was infuriated when Han Joo-woon called her Oppa 'bastard'.
Yoon Yuna nervously chanted some spells. A magic circle forms before her. She already cast the prepared spell when Han Joo-woon's lackeys surrounded Imchul and the other two. She's just waiting for Yo-han's instruction.
The lackeys were hesitant. Magic is a powerful skill that deals big damage. They don't want to get hit by it, not to mention they are at a very close distance.
"What are you all hesitating for? Is my words a joke?" Han Joo-woon was annoyed by his lackey's incompetence.
Not daring to ignore the commands any longer. All the lackeys around Kim Yo-han and the others attack.
"Oh no, you can't leave." Noticing Imchul moving, Han Joo-woon guessed the big guy wanted to help the girls.
There are still Han Joo-woon and a few lackeys surrounding Imchul, Jin Hyunjun, and Hwang Myeong-suk.
But, Imchul and Jin Hyunjun were not worried about the others. The two of them will protect the exhausted Hwang Myeong-suk.
Kim Hayan fired her arrow and hit the bald lackey who trash-talked her. "See, my arrow is fast."
"F.u.cking b.i.tch!" The bald lackey cursed.
Yoon Yuna's spell activated, this was a multi-target spell. 3 of Han Joo-woon's subordinates suffered serious injuries. The others were bewildered, how could a mage of the same rank deal with a big damage?
Questions started to pop up in everyone's mind. Most of them don't know that while some powerhouses like elves and magic-related people may know the reason. But this is only applied to a few people.
Elves are not only known for their beauty but how they can use magic more powerfully than those of the same rank. But no know knows this secret for a few individuals and the elves themselves.
Just as everyone wondered. The remaining lackeys fell to the ground. The person responsible for it is the other black-robed person.
With Kim Yo-han's instruction. 'John' made a move.
Han Joo-woon's eyes are wide open. As an S-rank, he couldn't see this person's speed. He sweated.
"Who are you?" But he didn't lose composure.
"You don't have to know who I am." John crossed his arms as he stood in front of Kim Yo-han and the rest.
Han Joo-woon activated a skill that can analyze a person's rank. But he cannot see anything. In other words, this black-robe man is stronger than him, possibly an SS-rank.
Seeing that the situation suddenly reversed. Han Joo-woon was not foolish to stay any longer. This would only harm his reputation.
"Get our people and let's leave." Han Joo-woon ordered.
The remaining lackeys around Imchul and Jin Hyunjun did not ask any questions. They had been with Han Joo-woon longer and they knew his shitty personality. If he is irritated and you ask a question, you won't know how you died.
They quickly recovered their fallen comrades.
"Oppa are we just going to let them go?" Kim Hana whispered to Kim Yo-han.
"Y-Yeah, Yo-han-ssi, they hurt Myeong-suk unnie." Yoon Yuna follows.
"...Let them be. Let's not make a ruckus for now. There are plenty of eyes." Kim Yo-han shook his head and answered them.
"Yo-han, are you sure?" Kim Hayan whispered.
Kim Yo-han turns his head and looks at his sister's worry. He knew what she was thinking. Han Joo-woon is the person who killed him, it would be a lie if he didn't feel any hatred.
He wanted to cut that bastard into pieces the most. If he was crazed for revenge, Aria would have already been destroyed by the beginning.
They are very lucky. Although, Those three betrayed him. They are very despicable and hate him. They still uphold their principles and righteousness, despite the loss of their brains.
Kim Yo-han knew the reason why they killed him. On the surface, it's because of his weakness. The real reason why is related the jealousy.
Jin Seihan the Guild master of Aria. Even though he was the 'Guildmaster', the members listened to Kim Yo-han more than him.
Lee Jungnan, His fiancee broke up with him because she was deeply in love with Kim Yo-han. He and his fiancee came from a wealthy family and both families tied with marriage. He was in love with his fiancee and would do anything to make her happy. Unfortunately, when she proposed that she loves Kim Yo-han and it would make her happy.
