Time in the narrow hallway seemed to stop.

The tip of Baskoro's metal-element coated giant axe was less than a handspan from Eka's forehead. However, the heavy weapon never landed. The air around them suddenly became incredibly dense and heavy. The throat-choking smell of sulfur mixed with bone-piercing cold seeped out from the shadow beneath Eka's boots.

Baskoro widened his eyes. Cold sweat instantly drenched the hard-faced man's temples. His B-Rank

  • Chapter 45: The Arrogance of the White Knights

    "FACE US."That hoarse, roughly vibrating voice tore through the volcanic fog at the northern wall of Camp Bogor. The words were not spoken as animalistic roars, but using broken human language. On top of the defense wall, Eka narrowed his eyes. Cold sweat mixed with rainwater flowed slowly down his temples. Aris and Siti, standing beside him, exchanged glances. They held their breath for a moment. Sopian gripped his sledgehammer tighter, his knuckles turning white. They were all shocked. Demons capable of speaking mortal languages were proof of terrifying combat intelligence.Down below, the five demons jumped through the front line of the wild demon pack. They landed on the ruined asphalt with perfectly synchronized thuds. The five creatures were B-Rank White Elves. Their skin was as pale as frozen corpses. Unlike the bare-chested lowly demons, these five creatures wore thick armor made of solid ice layers that reflected the searchlights. Behi

  • Chapter 44: The Price of Forgiveness

    The drizzle carrying volcanic ash swept across Eka's face. He stood at the edge of the headquarters balcony, glaring sharply at the courtyard below. In the middle of a muddy puddle, Gito knelt. The fat man's body was tightly bound by a thick block of ice created by Siti. Gito's face was as pale as a corpse. His unblinking eyes stared at the shadow beneath Eka's boots extending all the way to the courtyard wall. Gito shivered violently, and it was not because of the freezing temperature locking his wrists. The man's B-Rank Hunter instincts caught the terror seeping out of the young man's shadow. Two pairs of glowing red eyes stared at Gito from within the darkness. Kuro-Oni and the Hellhound deliberately leaked their killing intent, revealing the faint forms of a giant samurai and a hell hound ready to chew Gito's soul alive."Please, do not kill me," Gito whimpered with a hoarse voice. The man sobbed uncontrollably, snot and tears mixing on his dirty fac

  • Chapter 43: The Red Fog from the North

    "Take all the refugees to the underground bunker," Eka ordered without looking back. His eyes locked onto the two giant silhouettes outside the wall. "We have no time to celebrate anything. The real hell has just arrived."Panic erupted in the main courtyard of Camp Bogor's Central Headquarters. The cheers of victory that echoed a few seconds ago were replaced by hysterical screams. Civilians ran and crashed into each other. The remaining guards dropped their weapons. They crawled backward with faces as pale as cotton.Eko and Dimas acted immediately. The two E-Rank Hunters pushed through the crowd, forcefully opening a path to the underground access."Do not push. Follow this path." Dimas shouted. Cold sweat drenched the young man's temples.Bara lifted Old Man Thomas's unconscious body with extreme care. The giant youth looked at Eka from a distance, gave a slow nod, and then ran to catch up with Eko and Dimas. Maya was right behind Bara. The fe

  • Chapter 42: The Shattered Illusion of Sanctuary

    Baskoro's head stopped rolling right in a muddy puddle. The face of the Supreme Leader of Camp Bogor was frozen in an expression of sickening terror. The rain fell, soaking his wrinkled skin that had dried up like a dead twig. The sound of dropped weapons clattering broke the silence of the courtyard. The dozens of remaining elite guards slowly released their grips from their rifles and swords. Their courage was completely shattered. No one dared to look up at the second-floor balcony where Eka stood. From behind the ranks of the guards retreating in fear, Gito, the only surviving B-Rank Camp Leader, dropped to his knees. The stout man who controlled the logistics trembled violently. He looked at Baskoro's head, then looked at Aris who was walking toward him with a fire-coated sword. "I surrender." Gito's voice trembled. His tears mixed with the rainwater. The man raised both of his hands high. "Do not k

  • Chapter 41: A Bloody Gift and the Tyrant's Head

    Two human bodies were pierced through the chest on a single pitch-black katana blade. Fresh blood dripped heavily, soaking the paving blocks of the headquarters courtyard.Kuro-Oni snorted in annoyance. The giant samurai demon pulled his katana out with one rough jerk, letting the two C-Rank Hunter corpses fall with a thud onto the muddy ground. The demon's glowing red eyes glanced at the remaining eight elite Hunters. The central headquarters guards stood frozen. Their faces were as pale as paper seeing a monster from another dimension towering tall, blocking the falling rain.Kuro-Oni did not give them time to scream.The demon took one step forward. No shadow could be seen. There was only a flash of a black sword cutting the cold air. A barrage of sounds of tearing flesh and breaking bones echoed. In a single breath, eight human heads detached from their necks simultaneously. Fountains of blood sprayed high, painting

  • Chapter 40: "Pedro" and Sopian's Rampage

    The blade of the God-Slaying Sword was buried deep in Baskoro's chest. The sound of shriveling flesh and cracking bones mingled with the sound of the rain outside the hallway. The fresh blood that had been spraying out now stopped completely. It turned into a thin, dark red mist continuously sucked into the ancient weapon in Eka's hand.The Peak B-Rank commander's massive body shrank at a horrifying speed. His skin turned grayish, clinging tightly to his ribs.Inside Eka's shadow, the scorching heat of sulfur erupted violently. The Hellhound growled in anger. The hell dog felt disgusted because it did not get a single drop of blood from this slaughter. Its glowing eyes glared at Baskoro's two B-Rank Demons, the Fire Wolf and the Ice Bear, who were still cowering in fear on the concrete floor.Right before Baskoro's heart stopped beating forever, the Hellhound opened its jaws.An invisible wave of pre
