Chapter 397 – Survival of The Fittest (6)
One of the buildings nearby crumbled, signaling the start of the fight.
Woo Han-Jong’s retainers were the first to make a move.
The middle-aged man who had shouted at Han-Yeol earlier stood at the forefront. Behind him were a large dark-skinned man and an Asian woman at least one hundred eighty centimeters tall, who seemed Chinese judging by the qipao[1] she was wearing.
These three were the Master-Rank Hunters serving Woo Han-Jong.
“Hmm? I heard the South Korean Master-Rank Hunters have all decided to stay neutral in this. Those cowards are probably hiding in their houses trembling in fear... but who are you people?” the middle-aged man asked.
“...”
The Egyptian trio looked at each other and whispered.
[I think we have to fight them. What do you think?]
[Yeah, I think we have no other choice, noonim.]
[Exposing our identities is definitely a concern, but I can alter their memories if we spare some of them. That should take care of the problem.]
[Oh? That’s a great idea! I think that settles it, noonim!]
[I guess we don’t have a choice...]
Their main purpose of coming along was to advise Han-Yeol during the negotiations and formation of the new government. They did not plan to partake in any fights, but they were unfortunately forced to change their plans.
Their opponents were not a bunch of S-Rank Hunters, but Master-Rank Hunters, and they were the only ones aside from Han-Yeol who could stop them. Also, they could instinctively sense that their opponents were extremely strong, and this would not be an easy battle.
[Let’s go.]
[Yes, Tayarana-nim.]
[Okay, noonim!]
Unfortunately, the trio were forced to fight with a handicap and would not be able to exert one hundred percent of their powers. They had not intended to participate in any battles this time, and so they had left all of their main weapons back at the mansion.
They only brought a few basic weapons, which meant that they were as good as unarmed.
[But we don’t have our weapons, noonim.]
[Yeah, that’s indeed a problem.]
[Hmm...]
[What should we do, Tayarana-nim?] New novel chapters are published on
[We don’t have a choice, so fight with everything you got.]
[Yes, I understand...]
Of course, just because they were unarmed did not mean they could not live up to their titles as Master-Rank Hunters. Yes, they might not be as powerful as they were with their main weapons, but they possessed Master-Rank Hunter stats and skills.
“Oh? One of them is a swordsman?”
“One of them seems to be a brawler.”
“Hmm... That girl behind them. Judging by how underdeveloped her muscles are, I don’t think she’s a melee fighter.”
The retainers easily distinguished who they were going to fight from their appearances alone.
[Tayarana-nim. Prince Mujahid.]
[Yes, Mariam.]
Then, Mariam switched to communicating telepathically.
[It seems they are planning to fight us one-on-one.]
[Yeah, I noticed.]
Tayarana could easily notice something like this even if Mariam did not point it out, but what she wanted to say next was the key part.
[We might be Master-Rank Hunters, but we cannot use our full strength without our main weapons. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our opponents. It would be best if we fight together with my telepathic abilities rather than be split up.]
[Alright.]
[Oh! How long has it been since we fought together?]
Tayarana and Mujahid were only half-siblings, but they started training together ever since they first awakened. Their training included fighting in group battles with Mariam’s telepathic abilities.
Bam!
The dark-skinned man’s fist hit the ground Mujahid was standing on a while ago.
“Ha! What a slippery rat!”
Kwachik!
A vein bulged on Mujahid’s forehead when he heard the dark-skinned man taunt him.
‘That damned guy...!’ Mujahid clenched his fist in anger, but he did not do anything aside from that.
The reason he could continue to follow Mariam’s commands even while his emotions were running high was the education and training he had received back at the military academy.
‘If only Furion was here...!’ Mujahid gritted his teeth.
He could not help but feel frustrated by the fact that he did not have his full gear with him and was forced to fight in a group under Mariam’s command. He would have beaten them one by one if only Furion was with him right now.
The dark-skinned man pulled his fist out from the asphalt and looked at the trio.
‘Hmm... There’s something familiar about their movements... Where have I seen them before?’ he wondered while staring at them.
Unfortunately, the harsh training Woo Han-Jong had subjected him to caused severe mental trauma that tampered with his memories so badly that he even ended up forgetting his own name.
He had definitely seen the trio’s movement somewhere, but he was unable to recall where he had seen it as he had lost most of his memories.
He was lost in his thoughts, but he soon snapped out of it when he heard the middle-aged man’s voice.
“Ha! I admit your teamwork is quite admirable, but that’s nothing but petty tricks against us! If that’s how you want to play, then we’re going to play with you!”
The middle-aged man readied his katana and prepared to attack.
[It is our turn to attack now, Tayarana-nim.]
‘Alright.’
Tak!
“What?!” the middle-aged man was surprised.
He thought their opponents were just going to defend all day long, so he did not expect them to go on the offensive.
Heh.
Of course, the retainers smirked when they saw their opponents suddenly switching from defense to offense.
‘Fools! They really fell for such provocation?’
The middle-aged man could not help but laugh at his young opponents. They were wearing masks, so it was hard to identify them, but he could tell from their rough appearance and temper that they were still young. Only kids would fall for such a cheap trick.
“I’ll behead you kids and take a good look at you!”
Wooong!
The group battle between the Master-Rank Hunters finally started for real.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Blue House was destroyed without a trace, and even the school, church, and apartments nearby were destroyed as well. This would have resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties if it was not for the mysterious clown’s barrier.
However, the destruction was not the end of the surprises.
“Hmm...”
“Tsk!”
“...”
The middle-aged swordsman, the Chinese lady, and the dark-skinned man were taken aback. The reason behind their reaction was that their opponent did not suffer a single scratch despite their surroundings being absolutely destroyed.
Pat...! Pat...! Pat...!
By contrast, the middle-aged swordsman was bleeding from the gash he suffered from Tayarana’s sword.
“I believe we have underestimated our opponents.”
“Yes, they are not fighting as a group because they are weaker than us. They seem to be Master-Rank Hunters specialized in group combat. Their individual strength is almost equal to ours, but we are at a severe disadvantage because we lack experience fighting as a group.”
“Hey, can you men stop grumbling and come up with a solution? It’s going to look bad for us the longer this goes on, you know?”
“Ugh... I’m not grumbling because I want to, okay? Not only is this my first time fighting three-on-three with other Master-Rank Hunters—no, why would Master-Rank Hunters fight together in the first place?!”
