[We need to reduce the numbers as much as possible.]

Do Chi-ryang’s resolute voice spread. It wasn’t just Kim Songcheol who heard it.

The allied forces, not Lucifer, began to move even more busily from that point onward.

Even with reinforcements from Ilwol and Pyu, they were still outnumbered.

There was still a mountain of Dark Mages to deal with.

Even though they seemed to have dealt with a lot, they were still swarming in black.

Kwagakang!

A massive Explosion erupted from Ilwol’s side. Several buildings exploded, and intense Demonic Energy soared into the sky.

At its peak, there was a single figure soaring powerlessly.

It was Baalzebub, who had blocked Ilwol’s path.

He had lost his life at the hands of Ilwol’s Martial Artists.

The middle-aged man who came with the Celestial Spirit Maiden soared into the air and lightly struck Baalzebub’s corpse.

The corpse flew like a bullet and crashed next to Asmodeus’s corpse.

Three of the four Hexacars were dead. Only one remained.

It was Belphegor.

[Juryung.]

Juryung left the rushing Dark Mages to Nikoren, stepped forward, and extended a hand.

In an instant, a massive Magic formation formed, and a geometric Polyhedron appeared.

The Polyhedron quickly flew, enveloped the corpses of Leviathan, Asmodeus, and Baalzebub, and slowly began to rotate.

Then, Leviathan’s stirring corpse went limp. Something that was happening was prevented.

“Damn it, I can’t hold on for long!”

Juryung’s hand trembled as he gritted his teeth. This was just a temporary measure.

Moreover, Belphegor, who was guarding the north, was flying towards Juryung.

It was then that Pyu’s Supernatural Ability users, who were hovering in the air and casually dealing with the Dark Mages, turned their heads towards Belphegor.

They were all young strong individuals, composed entirely of people in their 20s.

Their clothes were all different, and unlike other Hunters, they exuded a strong sense of freedom.

One of them gestured towards Belphegor with his chin.

“They say to kill that one?”

“I heard that too.”

“I think I can do it alone, so the rest of you just watch.”

“Pfft, what a boast.”

“Let’s go together. Anyway, if we go into that Strange Space, we probably won’t be able to use our Supernatural Abilities properly.”

One of the Supernatural Ability users said, glancing at Kim Songcheol’s Anti-Magic Zone.

For a Pyu Supernatural Ability user, even if they just stood still, their Supernatural Ability would gradually leak out and form their own domain, but that domain was extinguished as soon as it touched the Anti-Magic Zone.

It was a phenomenon that strongly suggested they shouldn’t enter.

“Setsu!”

“Come up. Let’s break through together.”

Pew’s Supernatural Ability users beckoned to Setsu.

“Yes!”

“Be careful.”

Kim Songcheol said, shooting Electric Shocks in all directions. He didn’t really want to send them towards Belphegor, but he couldn’t always protect him.

Kim Songcheol knew better than anyone that there were times when he needed to trust, not worry.

“Don’t worry.”

Setsu shot up into the air in an instant. As Setsu joined, Pew’s Supernatural Ability users, showcasing various colors, shot towards Belphegor.

Between the neon-like pink, deep red, and light blue, Setsu’s green blended in.

“Setsu, go for it. You need to show your Thread power to your brother, whom you haven’t seen in a while, right?”

“Is that the brother Setsu was talking about?”

“Looks like it. He does seem the strongest. That strange Barrier too.”

While Pew’s Supernatural Ability users were talking, Setsu stepped forward and stretched out her hand.

The green light coalesced, transforming into a person.

Her features weren’t distinct, but it was recognizable that she was a Female Staff Member.

If one had to guess her age, she would be in her late 30s.

The green woman Setsu created ran forward at incredible speed. Her movements were somewhat mimicking Martial Arts, but her speed and strength were immense.

She began to clear a path, almost exploding the Black Mages who blocked her way.

The green woman was a ‘Shadow’ created with Supernatural Ability. Most black magic didn’t work on her, and simply getting close would cause them to be caught in Psychokinesis and crumble.

She was not something an ordinary Black Mage could contend with.

“It’s been a really long time since someone manifested a person as a Shadow, hasn’t it?”

“Tell me about it. How do they do that? And it’s not even just one Shadow?”

“I wonder if the team members know how amazing that is.”

Pew’s Supernatural Ability users chatted casually, each creating different Shadows.

There were creatures like birds, and even Nothingness like swords.

Shadows are the most advanced form of Supernatural Ability usage in an A-rank Dungeon.

It was a method of borrowing the image of anything that exists in the world and compressing the Supernatural Ability into that image.

The image is the focal point and core of the Supernatural Ability.

This is because if the image is not clearly defined, the cohesive force of the Supernatural Ability weakens, making it impossible to exert powerful abilities.

Therefore, Shadows are easier when the image is simple, but Setsu created a person as a Shadow.

There is no existence as complex as a human, so the difficulty is usually unimaginable. However, in return, the ability becomes freer and stronger.

“Let’s deal with this quickly.”

“We have to if we don’t want to be nagged by that annoying old man in the Hawaiian Shirt.”

Pew’s Supernatural Ability users shot out different Shadows.

The colorful Shadows began to cut through the air, felling the Black Mages.

Their speed was so incredibly fast that at first glance, it looked like colorful lines were appearing randomly in the air, but upon closer inspection, they indeed had some kind of form.

As Pew’s ability users began to properly exert their power, the Black Mages fell, spilling blood.

From the start, the subpar dark mages had no way to deal with them.

The speed of the Shadows was as fast as the dynamic vision of the supernaturals, and on top of that, there was the psychokinesis that dominated the surroundings.

Even a mere touch would turn bones and organs into pulp.

It was the same even when attacking the supernatural’s main body with dark magic.

They simply scattered the incoming dark magic with an emission of supernatural ability.

From the beginning, the structures of magic and supernatural ability were completely different, and these two heterogeneous powers repelled each other.

A structure where the weaker one scatters.

It was an error to even think that ordinary magic would work against a supernatural powerful enough to create Shadows.

“Did we just quietly collect points?”

“These guys don’t even seem to know how to deal with it.”

“Well, that’s good. Hurry up. It’s annoying.”

“Will Hexacar be different?”

“I don’t know. AJ, try touching it.”

“Shall I?”

The supernaturals were completely relaxed.

That is, until the chakram-shaped Shadows shot out by AJ, a Black man in shorts, clashed with Belphegor and bounced back.

Boom!

The yellow chakram returned at a faster speed than it flew out.

If the owner of the Shadows hadn’t braked it, it would have probably flown to the end of the sky.

“Oh my. Hexacar is different, huh?”

The Black man twirled the chakram with his fingers and raised an eyebrow at Belphegor.

His black hood was pulled down to his chin.

A long cloak hung down, swaying at his feet.

All that was visible was his chin.

The rest was completely covered by the hood and cloak.

“Setsu, AJ, Toram, and I will take care of it. The rest of you deal with the small fry.”

The quiet blonde man, Benjamin, stepped forward.

He was simply dressed in a shirt and jeans.

When he gave the order, the supernaturals moved their formation without a word.

Four supernaturals surrounded Belphegor, and the rest flew wildly through the air, dealing with the dark mages with Shadows.

“Maintain the force field, even if the Shadow output weakens a bit, because we don’t know what might fly out.”

Benjamin warned.

“You don’t trust us at all.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that I don’t want to lose anyone.”

Benjamin replied coolly, waving his hand in the air, and the form of a pure white horse appeared.

It was no ordinary horse.

A horn jutted out from its forehead.

His Shadow was a unicorn.

Strictly speaking, he only added a horn to the image of a horse, but even that much use of imagery was enough to gauge the level.

Even Setsu, who created people as Shadows, was ‘still’ unable to surpass Benjamin.

“Let’s begin.”

The order was given.

Various Shadows flew towards Belphegor like in the Island battle.

Among them, the Unicorn was unparalleled. A pure white light emanated from it, dimming the light of the other Shadows.

The only Shadow that overcame the white light and showed off its own color was Setsu’s.

Layered greyish-white spheres formed around Belphegor.

The collision between the barrier and the Shadows was instantaneous.

Kwagagagagang!

A massive explosion erupted, and shockwaves surged out like a tsunami in all directions.

As a result, some dark mages were swept away by the shockwave and slammed into the ground.

Belphegor did not move an inch. Only his long cloak fluttered.

The moment his lips parted.

Greyish-white spheres formed around the Shadows that were circling in the air, instantly enveloping them.

The Shadows, which had been moving imperceptibly, suddenly stopped moving.

“Emission.”

Benjamin’s calm voice flowed.

At the same time, the Shadows suddenly scattered, forming pressure in all directions. Unable to withstand the pressure, the spheres burst.

Benjamin’s command did not end there.

“Resonance.”

The four scattered Shadows immediately regained their form, adjusted their rupture fields to each other, and closed the distance. Then, like paint spreading and merging on a palette, they began to fuse with each other.

This alien fighting style was beyond Belphegor’s knowledge.

Belphegor created greyish-white spheres once again, as if trying to suppress them with force.

This time, it was completely different from the first.

He fully unleashed his power, filling the space and instantly trapping the supernatural ability users.

“Why is the range so wide?!”

Toram tried to break the greyish-white sphere by greatly emitting his supernatural ability, but its durability was stronger than he expected.

It was impossible to escape without taking back a portion of the power contained in the Shadows.

Rupture Window!

But Benjamin and Setsu were different. They emitted their remaining supernatural ability and escaped on their own.

“Push forward.”

Benjamin supported the other Toram, and Setsu supported Aja, while the unified Shadows began to descend towards Belphegor.

The spheres flew wildly, hindering the Shadows’ advance, but the density of their power was different.

The white Unicorn, the green Celestial Spirit Maiden, the yellow Chakram, and the pink Hawk charged together, breaking through all obstacles and rushing forward.

Belphegor resisted by emitting powerful greyish-white light, but the Unicorn’s horn tore through everything and advanced.

Kwagagagagang!

The moment it reached Belphegor’s chest, a psychokinesis that seemed to bend space took effect, and Belphegor’s body crumpled wildly, turning into a single lump of flesh.

That lump of flesh was drawn by Benjamin’s supernatural ability and fell to the ground.

Juryung entered the Polyhedron, which was barely maintaining its structure.

At that moment.

Rupture Window!

The Polyhedron shattered.

As Belphegor’s corpse also entered, the power intensified, far exceeding Juryung’s output.

“Ugh!”

Forced release of magic.

Magic power surged backward, and Juryung instantly spat blood and was thrown backward.

At the same time, the four Hexacar corpses began to vibrate wildly and float into the air.

[Step back!]

Do Chi-ryang’s urgent voice.

With the Hexacar corpses as a focal point, space opened up, and an evil aura burst forth around them like an explosion.

The surrounding hundred meters were utterly devastated.

If such an explosion had occurred at the center of the battle, the damage would have been extreme.

After the explosion, space opened up, and grotesque creatures appeared.

Leviathan, Belphegor, Asmodeus, Beelzebub.

The Great Beings who lent them The Source.

Portions of the Seven Deadly Sins were summoned.

Leviathan, a snake with an ominous green glow.

Belphegor, a half-human, half-demon with a humanoid figure and the lower body of a goat.

Asmodeus, a mollusk with undulating crimson tentacles.

Beelzebub, a black and shiny insect.

Even though they were only parts, their size was considerable.

Their presence was on a completely different level from the Hexacar.

It was then.

“Waaah!”

A multitude of troops appeared from the north.

They were the reinforcements from the Murim Alliance.

Hundreds of martial artists, led by Namgung Jin, exuding vital energy, were entering Arkejar’s castle.

[We almost arrived too late…]

Do Chi-ryang muttered with a sigh of relief, then.

A strong and clear voice spoke to Kim Songcheol.

[Leave this to us now and go to where Arkejar is. We will clear the path.]

Phew, Ilwol, Pioneer, and the Murim Alliance each take on one foe.

Kim Songcheol goes into the castle’s basement alone to stop Arkejar and prevent the summoning.

That was the best method for now.
