Moon's Labyrinths

Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Sungyoon’s mind went back to the conversation he had with Lee just a few hours ago .

‘Is this the fear he was referring to?’

Sungyoon thought it was incredible that he could assess himself in such an objective manner in this state . However, this didn’t mean he was free from the effects of the fear . This fear was like a chain around his body and weighed his body down .

But Sungyoon knew he had to move .

Kevil swung its whip, and the red flame looked like a viper flicking its tongue out . The demonic monster’s eyes headed toward Sungyoon’s companions, who had just arrived .

Sungyoon attacked Kevil with his sword .

Tuh-uhng!

However, it was futile . The demonic monster easily grabbed the sword with its hand .

- Amazing . You can move to this extent while feeling his presence?

The sarcasm had disappeared in its voice, and true admiration had taken its place . However, this admiration was akin to what a person felt when seeing a monkey use a tool . Kevil didn’t see Sungyoon as a threat and treated him very lightly .

Hoohk!

The sword its hands were grasping disappeared, and Sungyoon immediately swung his ax .

Tuh-uhng!

The attack was blocked once again, but Sungyoon let go of the ax . While Kevil still held the ax, Sungyoon stabbed its side with the spear blade of his halberd .

Puh-uhng!

Kevil deflected the spear blade, and Sungyoon used this moment to create some distance .

“Ms . Emily! Ms . Grace!”

The two women were moving into action even before his shout .

Woo-oong!

A light surrounded Sungyoon’s body as Emily cast her support spells on him . She had gone all out and used all the support magic that she had on hand .

Grace also activated the spell that she had been preparing .

Zuh-zuh-zuh-zuhk!

It was the frost spell . Grace assumed Kevil was a fire-type monster due to the flame whip . Even if this opponent was out of their class, a fire-type monster was weak against ice magic .

The ground froze as cold energy tried to cling to Kevil .

- Hmmph!

Kevil snorted .

Boom!

It moved its foot, and Grace’s face turned pale . Most of the monsters with high resistance to magic had to break through the ice freezing on their body . But the ice hadn’t even been able to touch Kevil’s body .

Grace didn’t give up and started preparing her next spell .

“Please get away from here right now, Ms . Jimin, Ms . Chelsea!”

When Jimin heard Sungyoon’s words, she immediately grabbed Chelsea’s arm .

“W-we are running away by ourselves?”

“Do you really think you’ll be of any help to them?”

Jimin’s response was cold . However, the unrest in her eyes revealed her true emotions, and it was obvious that she was mightily struggling with this decision .

Chelsea decided to listen to her friend . She looked back at Sungyoon before leaving .

“... Please be careful!”

Sungyoon kept his eyes trained on Kevil as he nodded .

- Who said I’ll let you go?

Along with the frightening voice, Kevil moved its hand .

“Run!”

Sungyoon desperately moved forward while shouting . Jimin and Chelsea turned around and dashed into the distance .

Boom!

The fire whip flew toward the two of them . The attack left a deep crevice on the ground, but thankfully, the fire was too far away to damage them . Jimin and Chelsea had succeeded in going down the hill .

Kevil stared at its fire whip for a brief moment, then turned toward Sungyoon .

“Koohk!”

“Just bear with me! It’ll take only a moment”

Emily stuck close to Sungyoon, whose arm was charred black .

At a glance, one could tell Sungyoon was in dire straits . His shield had been destroyed, and the armor around his left arm was broken and scorched black .

- You were able to react to that attack?

Sungyoon hadn’t been able to react to the first attack by Kevil . However, this time, he had deflected the fire whip sent toward Jimin and Chelsea . Of course, it had dearly cost him .

- Interesting .

Kevil brought the fire whip back . In a smooth movement, the whip extended straight upward and transformed into a frighteningly large sword .

Grace swung her staff once again .

Hoo-ooh-ooh-oong!

A tempest erupted in the region, and the winds that had been silent up until now as if they had been afraid of Kevil started to move . Kevil was the center of a large tornado . This spell was a new addition to Grace’s arsenal after Sungyoon had evolved her Gems .

Puhl-luhk!

Kevil swung its wings .

Puh-uhng!

The tornado had been so fierce that it appeared as though it would uproot the entire hill . Yet, Kevil had dismissed it with just a flap of its wings . This development stunned Grace .

Hoo-oong!

Kevil swung its sword and sent a crescent flame at them .

“Shit!”

Sungyoon didn’t have the time to continue healing . He quickly grabbed the two women and jumped to the side .

Puh-uhng!

An ominous sound rang out in the direction of his right leg, and a burning pain washed over him . He rolled across the grass .

“Mr . Sungyoon!”

Emily yelled .

Sungyoon was dizzy from the pain, but he suppressed the pain to look at his right leg . His thigh was on fire, and he couldn’t see anything beyond that .

Grace quickly took off her robe .

Puhk! Puhk!

She smothered the flames using her robe, while the teary-eyed Emily started healing whatever was left of Sungyoon’s leg .

- Hmm . Your reaction speed became a bit faster again .

Kevil had recognized it . That person’s power was flowing more and more into Sungyoon’s body .

‘The same thing happened with the previous trash . As expected, they have a sympathetic link . ’

However, the sympathetic link was more active with this particular sacrifice, and it was growing with time .

‘I have to stop playing around . This trash’s power is insignificant, but it’s a different story if he starts using that person’s power . ’

Kevil took a powerful step forward and pushed off the ground .

Hoo-oong!

As Kevil moved, the air hitting his body screamed . In a flash, Kevil arrived in front of Sungyoon’s party and brought down its sword . The party felt as if a screaming sun was falling toward them .

Kwahhhhhhhng!

This was merely a playful swing of Kevil’s sword, not its strongest attack .

The nameless grass, the shy flowers, the sparse trees on the hill, the twinkling stars, and the sound of waves, all combined gave this location a picturesque view . Yet Kevil’s single attack ruthlessly destroyed this view .

The attack formed a deep ravine as long as twenty meters in the middle of the hill, and the melted earth flowed downward as lava . The rest of the hill also became engulfed in the flames .

“Huh-uhk! Huh-uhk!"

Sungyoon took shallow breaths even though he didn’t need to breathe to live . It was just a natural reaction from his body trying to compensate a little bit against the fear and pain .

Somehow, he had been able to dodge the terrifying attack . But his right thigh was nowhere to be seen now, and a large chunk of his side had been ripped away too . On top of that, his whole body was covered in severe burns .

“Oooooooooh!”

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Sungyoon heard the groans from the two people next to him . He had covered Emily and Grace with his body, so they hadn’t suffered critical wounds . But they did have burns all over their bodies and were paralyzed from the shock .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kevil approached them as if it were a messenger sent from hell . Its gaze fell on Emily and Grace, whom it didn’t need .

“Koo-oohk!”

Using his halberd as a crutch, Sungyoon got up on his remaining leg . He didn’t have time to heal his wounds .

Hoo-oong!

Kevil didn’t pay attention to the injured trash . It silently swung its sword at Emily .

Kwahhhhhhhhng!

- Huh?

The halberd blocked its flame sword, and Kevil was surprised . Until now, the trash had barely been able to survive its attack, yet he had now dared to block its attack .

“Ooh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhk!”

Sungyoon screamed and tried to squeeze out all the power in his body, then pushed back with his halberd . Kevil snorted as it made a fist . It planned on destroying both arms of this upstart trash .

Boom!

- What?

But Kevil was once again surprised .

‘I was pushed back?’

One step . It was just one step, but Kevil couldn’t believe it had been pushed backward in a contest of strength . Moreover, it was done by a severely-injured piece of trash .

However, it wasn’t the end .

Twoo-hwahk!

Sungyoon’s halberd finally pushed back the flame sword, and Kevil was sent back a good distance . The demonic monster flapped its wings to regain its balance, then looked at Sungyoon with a dumbfounded expression .

However, rage soon engulfed its face .

- Bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Kevil forgot that Sungyoon was a sacrifice that it had to take back and only thought about its pride being trampled . Its body overflowed with the desire to kill Sungyoon .

Kwahhhhhhh!

The flame sword expanded upward to become almost ten meters tall, and the sight looked as if the sun had descended onto Earth .

- Dieeeeeeeeeeeee!

Leaving behind a trail like a comet, the flame sword fell .

“Ooh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhht!”

Sungyoon swung his halberd head-on .

Kwahhhhhhhng!

A large explosion rang out . Flames erupted in all directions and pushed superheated air outward . Kevil assumed the trash had died with this attack, and it was getting ready to gloat . However, something pierced through the flames, and Kevil subconsciously swung its arm .

Poo-oohk!

The sharp spear blade of the halberd pierced through the hard spikes and stabbed into Kevil’s arm .

Blue blood gushed out, and Kevil felt pain . However, the shock it felt was bigger than the pain .

- What!

The demonic monster was so surprised that it couldn’t react as Sungyoon pushed through the billowing flames and grabbed the shaft of the halberd .

“Hahhhhhhhht!”

Kwah-doo-doohk!

The halberd pushed deeper into Kevil’s arm, and at the same time, Sungyoon’s wounds healed a little .

- You trashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Puh-uhk!

Kevil swung its enormous fist toward Sungyoon’s face .

Kwahng!

Sungyoon was sent flying like a leaf in a tornado . His body traveled through the flames and hit the ground .

With an annoyed expression, Kevil extracted the halberd and threw it on the ground .

- He isn’t dead?

To Kevil’s surprise, Sungyoon got back up even though his body swayed .

- Let’s do this! I’ll turn you into minced meat!

Kevil once again grasped his flame sword, but it didn’t immediately attack .

- What’s wrong with this?

As it eyed the flame sword, Kevil was taken aback . The flame sword was still burning fiercely, but its intensity was weaker than before .

- Is it because of the magical energy?

Kevil realized it had been fighting for far too long in a location with no magical energy . The situation irritated the demonic monster . It was already annoyed by the fact that its power had been reduced, yet it now found that the power had a time limit too .

The demonic monster looked at Sungyoon, who held an ax in one hand and a hammer in the other . It could see that the trash hadn’t lost his will to fight . If this trash had been normal, Kevil could’ve easily killed him .

However, Sungyoon was different right now .

‘His sympathetic link to that person’s power is getting deeper . ’

If Kevil wasn’t careful, it would be the one to die . However, it wasn’t afraid of death, but rather, failing its mission .

- Tsk!

Even though this decision would hurt its pride, but since the battle was getting in the way of its original mission, Kevil decided to retreat .

- Hey, trash . You’re lucky today . But I promise you this . You’ll become one of the sacrifices, and I’ll come back for you later . At that time, I’ll make you suffer so much that you’ll wish for your death!

Kevil picked up Lee, who had miraculously survived the battle . With Lee on its side, Kevil unfurled its wings and flew into the night sky .
