Chapter 399: Chairman Woo Han-Jong (2)

Argh!

Clang!

Han-Yeol narrowly evaded the bamboo sword by twisting his body.

Phew!

His heart would have been pierced by now if he had reacted a step too late. He might possess Restore and various other healing skills, but all of those were useless if he instantly died after having his heart stabbed.

It did not matter if he possessed a resurrection skill, which he did not, as a dead person resurrecting themselves made no sense in the first place.

Hoho! Youre quite the lucky and slippery one.

I said shut it!

Clang!

Han-Yeol parried Woo Han-Jongs sword and used the recoil to push himself back. Then, he spread out his wings to come to a stop.

Chwak!

I dont stand a chance against him with my swordsmanship. Han-Yeol tried to rely solely on his sword out of pride, but his opponent was someone who honed his swordsmanship in darkness for decades. There was no way he could win without using everything he had at his disposal.

Oh right Hey, old man.

Yes?

Those biological experiments you Freemasons have been conducting.

Hoho! So youve seen them too? They might look a bit hideous, but dont you think theyre quite useful?

So you knew about them Just what in the world are you people plotting?

Woo Han-Jong could tell that Han-Yeol was just stalling for time. That was the only explanation why he would bring up something like this, which was completely out of the ordinary.

However, Woo Han-Jong decided to play along for now.

Hohoho To be frank with you, I might be a member of the Freemasons, but I dont really care what they do with their lives. They offered to arrange the best training environment, so I took them up on their offer. Im already old and nearing the end of my life, so Im not really trying to achieve greatness. All I want is to make this country a quieter place. Thats all.

Hmm

However, Han-Yeol clearly saw how dangerous the old mans eyes looked when he said he wanted to make this country a quieter place.

Hes a dangerous person. Han-Yeol was convinced he was right.

So, youre telling me you dont know what the Freemasons are after?

Hohoho! Im afraid that is the case. Still, what makes you think Ill tell you even if I knew?

Tsk You were acting as if youd tell me everything just a while ago.

Hoho! You cant look down on your elders like that. Have you heard of the saying old is gold? Anyway, I think youve already taken all the time you needed, right? Shall we continue where we left off?

Ugh Youre too sharp for an old geezer. Sure, bring it on!

Clink!

Han-Yeol took out his chain this time.

Oh? Have you finally decided to get serious?

What are you talking about, old man? Im just getting warmed up.

Whiiing!

Han-Yeols shoulder cannons gathered mana as they aimed at Woo Han-Jong.

Mana Explosion!

Krwaaang!

Hm? Woo Han-Jong raised a brow while looking at the incoming mana shells.

Then, he slightly turned his body to easily avoid them. Hoho! Are you playing games with me

Tsk Its a blow to my pride, but Ill have to use all of my skills against him

Han-Yeol could not summon his demons in this fight. The difference in skill between his demons and Woo Han-Jong was so big that they would only last a second against him. They would be reverse-summoned almost instantaneously and end up wasting Han-Yeols mana.

The price Han-Yeol had to pay for his demons getting reverse-summoned cost ten times the mana required to summon them. This would not be burdensome during normal circumstances as he could easily replenish the lost mana, but every single bit of mana was precious in life-or-death situations like this.

Haa Han-Yeol let out a sigh.

Hohoho! Those wings of yours are quite an eyesore. I might be staying afloat with my Aerial Steps, but I cant fly perfectly with this. On the other hand, you seem to be flying like a bird despite being a human thanks to those wings

Hah! And you call yourself a growth-type Hunter?

Hoho I have to clip those wings first, Woo Han-Jong thought, eyeing the wings that allowed Han-Yeol to evade danger like a cockroach.

He was unsure if he could actually cut Han-Yeols wings off, as it seemed to be a skill just like his Aerial Steps, but it was still worth a shot.

Damn it Hes probably going to aim for my wings now, Han-Yeol grumbled after realizing the old mans intentionsno, it would have been weird for him not to realize it as Woo Han-Jong explicitly mentioned that he was going to go for them.

He suddenly remembered a skill that would prove useful in his current situation. Ah! I have that skill!

Force Shield!

Wooong!

Oh? That skill is?

Ha! As if Im gonna tell you! Han-Yeol scoffed. He was not so kind as to explain his skills to his opponent.

A shield made out of mana, similar to a kite shield, appeared in front of him. This was one of his lesser-known skills since he did not use it that often during his livestreams, but he diligently leveled it up whenever he was off-camera, so it was already at Master-Rank too.

Force Shield was one of those skills that underwent huge changes upon reaching Master-Rank. The shield originally appeared on the back of his hand like a buckler, but he was now able to freely change its form as long as it did not exceed one meter in length.

In other words, he could freely summon Force Shield anywhere and use it without restricting it to his arms.

Hohoho! Now youre making me regret not getting rid of you earlier, Woo Han-Jong said with a laugh. He truly regretted not killing Han-Yeol the first time they met, and he rejected the offer to join the Freemasons. He would not have had this much trouble against him if he had killed him back then, but he also did not expect him to become this strong in such a short period of time.

The only reason he spared Han-Yeol was due to Mister Freemasons request not to kill him as he would be joining them sooner or later anyway, and another reason was that Woo Han-Jong was confident Han-Yeol would never close the gap between them.

However, he could not have been more wrong. Yes, Woo Han-Jong did have the upper hand in their first few exchanges, but he knew that was only because Han-Yeol fought him with the sword as a greeting.

Im going to start getting serious now, Chairman Woo.

Hohoho! Youre welcome anytime, Chairman Lee.

Han-Yeol was also a chairman, as he was the founder of the HY Group.

They clenched their weapons and prepared to go all-out as they knew their opponent could not be underestimated.

Whoosh!

Bam!

Krwaaaang!

The duel resumed with both of these behemoths clashing once again.

Han-Yeol used a different approach this time. He might have foolishly insisted on fighting with the sword due to his pride, but that was no longer the case as he knew he was going to lose if he stubbornly persisted on it.

It was now a duel between Woo Han-Jongs swordsmanship and Han-Yeols arsenal of skills.

Restrain!

Shwiiiik!

The Jabberwock Chain, which was indestructible and could stretch infinitely, shot out and encircled Woo Han-Jong like a snake looking for an opening to strike.

Woo Han-Jong might be a Transcendent Master-Rank Hunter, but he could not afford to drop his guard against Han-Yeols chain.

Woo Han-Jong could feel the chilly aura coming from the chain. Things wont look good even for me if I get caught by those chains

Shwiiik! Bam! Shwiiiik! Bam!

Woo Han-Jong swung his sword to deflect the chain whenever it struck him, but the chain remained unbreakable as it stubbornly continued to strike at him.

Eat this! Ice Crusher Shockwave! Han-Yeol seized the opportunity while his opponent was focusing on his chain. He infused Ice Attribute into his sword and attacked with the skill that would crush his enemy to thousands of ice fragments upon impact.

He obtained this skill thanks to Tia from the Bastro Dimension, and he used it to its fullest during the ten days he was stranded over there.
