Leveling Up Alone-Chapter 414: South Korea Again (3)

Their movements and coordination were quite awkward initially as they were not used to fighting together as a group.

They had never been taught how to fight together as a group since each one of them was powerful enough to defeat anyone who dared to stand in their path.

However, this was their first time facing three Master-Rank Hunters, and they had a difficult time adjusting to working together as a group.

Still, they slowly started getting used to working together the more extended the battle dragged on. They were comrades who had trained under the same master, so they were roughly able to tell what the other wanted, and that was the main reason they could quickly get used to fighting together as a team.

Ironically, the paradigm of the battle shifted just when they were about to get fully used to working together.

Then, the middle-aged swordsman motioned with his chin and said, Hey, look at that.

The Chinese lady replied first. Hmm? What am I looking at?

The dark-skinned man raised a brow and asked, What is it?

After realizing what the middle-aged swordsman was referring to, the dark-skinned man muttered in amazement, Oh?

They had been fighting three-on-three a while ago, but two of their opponents were currently in no shape to fight. One of them was currently unconscious, while the other looked too exhausted to do anything.

In other words, the battle was now three-on-one rather than three-on-three.

All we have to do is kill that wench, and itll be our victory.

Hohoho! Then what are we waiting for? Lets end this! the Chinese lady said with a laugh before spreading her fan open.

Chwak!

The three-on-three clash a while ago ended in a stalemate, but the result was now obvious since two of them were incapacitated. All they had to do was get rid of the only one capable of fighting, and the other two would become easy pickings.

Heup!

Woooong!

The middle-aged swordsman grabbed the handle of his katana and prepared to launch an attack despite his exhaustion. He was preparing to use his most powerful attack.

The Chinese lady let out a laugh and prepared to summon her dragons again. Hoho~ Then I should give it my all then.

Haa the dark-skinned man cracked his knuckles and strengthened his body.

Crack!

Please forgive me for what I am about to do now

The dark-skinned man was actually of Egyptian descent, so he was reluctant to fight against Tayarana, Mujahid, and Mariam. He might have left Egypt for South Korea to train under Woo Han-Jong a long time ago, but his love for his country still existed deep in his heart. He could not help but lament his luck for having to meet the children of Phaophator, whom he deeply respected, as his enemies.

The best I can do is send you off without any suffering

This was the best thing he could do as a token of respect to Phaophator.

Booooom!

Shes coming!

Tayarana fearlessly dove down despite being outnumbered three against one, and she looked like a meteor crashing down from the sky.

Fool!

Hoho~ Time to end this!

The first to attack was the Chinese lady. She possessed the longest attack range among them.

Chwak! Fwaaaaa!

Burn and devour my enemies! Tornado Flame Dragon!

A dragon emerged from the fan and flew up into the sky.

She covered her mouth with her fan and laughed confidently. Hohoho~

Its over!

She was shocked when her flame dragons failed to do anything against Mujahid and were helplessly absorbed by the strange skill he had used. However, she was confident it would be different with Tayarana, as she clearly saw the woman evading her dragons instead of using a skill to block or absorb them.

Krwaaaang!

Seeing her flame dragons crash into Tayarana, she laughed once again.

Hohoho!

Tayarana made no attempts to dodge, even though the flame dragons ferociously charged at her with destructive force.

She covered her mouth with her fan and said, A direct hit! Well, its not like she could have avoided it since my lovely dragons would just follow her until she got exhausted. But I didnt expect her to be so stupid and clash against them head-on! Hmm Are all Egyptian royalty like her? Or maybe she wanted to die by my hands? Hohoho!

Fool! Look up! the middle-aged swordsman shouted.

Hmm? What?

Shwaaaa!

I-Impossible!

The smoke cleared from the explosion, and Tayarana emerged unscathed from itno, she looked even stronger than before for some reason. Her entire body was surrounded by what seemed to be sparks, and her appearance resembled that of a bird.

[S-Sun God Ra!]

The retainers instantly looked at Mujahid after he shouted in Arabic.

W-What?!

What did he just say?

?

Only the dark-skinned man understood what Mujahid had shouted, as he was the only one capable of speaking Arabic among the three.

I guess its time for me to step up and put an end to this

Clack!

The middle-aged swordsman readied his sword personally bestowed upon him by his master, Woo Han-Jong.

Crescent Sword Slash!

Wooong Shwaaak!

He was a descendant of a renowned samurai household. However, his household started to decline after his grandfather became a gambling addict, and they went into hiding in South Korea.

It was while he was on the run that Woo Han-Jong took him in and trained him until he turned into the powerful Hunter that he was today.

The sword skill he used just now was similar to the one that Woo Han-Jong used, but there was a slight variation as he used a katana while Woo Han-Jong used a sword.

The middle-aged swordsmans skill formed a crescent sword energy that flew toward Tayarana, but she ignored the attack and continued to descend from the sky in a straight line.

The middle-aged swordsman smirked and shouted, Fool! It is over for you!

Sukeok!

What?!

However, the sword energy dissipated the moment it came into contact with Tayaranas fiery body.

The middle-aged swordsman despaired after he saw that his attack had achieved nothing. H-How can this be?!

Bam! Bam!

The dark-skinned man slammed his fists together and said, Its my turn now.

He was the strongest one among the three retainers. He was a brawler-type who specialized in defense and absorbing mana, and he was able to absorb all the long-range attacks from his enemies.

Woooong Bam!

His muscles started to expand as he gathered his mana.

Hooo!

Bam!

He slammed his hands into the ground and shouted, Earth Barrier!

Krwaaaang!

A large barrier made of earth shot up from the ground and wrapped the area around the retainers. The barriers kept popping up as they surrounded the retainers by three, four, and then five layers. It was only after ten layers had formed that the barriers finally stopped popping up.

Theres no way those flames can pierce through the earth! Haha!

The Chinese lady did not have good memories of the dark-skinned mans Earth Barrier skill. There was once a time when both of them clashed against each other, and her flame dragons managed to pierce through these barriers that were made of mud.

However, the problem was that these barriers continued popping up one after another, and she eventually lost the match after she ran out of mana.

The middle-aged swordsman let out a low laugh. Hoho

He could instinctively tell that all they had to do was block this attack, and the momentum would completely shift in their favor.

[How laughable.]

A voice suddenly rang in their heads. freewebnov(e)l.com

Then, they could feel mana gathering in the air around them right before

Shwiiik Krwaaaang!

Kyaak!

Argh!

Aaack!

An explosion erupted that destroyed all ten layers of the earth barriers.

The force of the explosion flung them far back.

Tssss!

Tayarana, who was now in the form of a bird, human, and flames mixed together, emerged from the smoke.

The Chinese lady pointed at her and screamed, W-What in the world is that thing?!

Fwaaaa! Fwaaaaah!

Tayaranas powers defied all common sense and logic that they knew of. She definitely had not been this strong just a while ago, but her mana became denser the moment she destroyed the earth barriers. This now made her an opponent that was completely out of their league.

Damn it! Dont be scared! There are three of us, and shes all alone! Its three Master-Rank Hunters against one!

Yeah, we will definitely win.

Kill her!

Tak!

They had no idea what was going on, but they decided that killing their enemy came first before anything else. This battle had dragged on for far too long, and it was now time to put an end to it.

However, the same eerie voice rang in their heads once again. [You insignificant creatures]

T-This is?!

Impossible!

They suddenly froze as if time had stopped.

Chwak!

Kuheok!

Thud!

Tayarana no longer permitted them to have another thought as she swung her flaming sword and struck them down.

The Chinese lady and middle-aged swordsman died on the spot, while the dark-skinned man barely made it out alive.

Ughhh

Tayarana floated toward the dark-skinned man.

He knew he did not survive the attack just now because he was stronger than the other two. He could tell the moment he was struck by the flaming sword that the enemy had spared him on purpose.

But why?

[O, foolish one. What is thy name?] Tayarana asked in their native language. She immediately noticed that this man was an Egyptian the moment she saw him.

[W-Why did you?]

He was about to ask why he had been spared, but he had a sense of shame, so he could not bring himself to ask that.

Fwaaaa! Fwaaaaah!

The flames around her body burned brighter, and the dark-skinned man trembled at that sight.

[It is to grant you the chance to say your dying will.]

[Ah]

Tears started welling up in his eyes.

[M-My name is Thari]

This was the first time he had uttered his real name in ages, not the name Woo Han-Jong had bestowed upon him. The name was buried deep inside his memories, but there was no way he was going to forget about it.

Thari roughly meant rich in Arabic.

[Your parents seem to have had financial difficulties]

[I apologize for their naming sense Hehe]

Tayarana sensed that Thari did not have much time left as his ember of life was flickering.

[So, what is your dying will?]

[Please look after my parents so they do not suffer for the remaining days of their lives I will atone for my sins in hell.]

[Alright.]

[Thank yo]

Thud

Thari was unable to finish his words as his ember of life was extinguished.

[Fool You would not have died so young if you had remained in Egypt with such talents]

Tayarana lamented the loss of one of her fellow countrymen regardless of whether they were friends or foes.
