I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 128: Wrath: The Start of the Massacre

The battle situation between the Werewolf and the low-ranked hunters was notably unequal. Half of the hunters were dead and injured.

Amid the tense atmosphere, Dong-hyun walked forward in front of the hunters, facing the Werewolf.

“Please support me from behind. I will be the one at the forefront against that creature. Attack whenever the opportunity arises.”

The remaining hunters were confused and surprised by what Dong-hyun said.

“Do you think this is a joke!?”

“Get out of the way, you snotty kid. You’ll die if you act arrogant.”

Before the hunters finished booing Dong-hyun, the Werewolf suddenly attacked quickly. The hunter was startled and stumbled backward.

Luckily, there was a C-rank hunter who was able to keep up with the Werewolf’s speed. Dong-hyun also didn’t stand still and helped the C-rank hunter fend off the creature’s claws.

The other hunters immediately responded to the movements of Dong-hyun and the C-rank hunter. They immediately lunged at the Werewolf.

When the magic attacks came, Dong-hyun managed to push the Werewolf back a bit. He and the C-rank hunter nimbly fled backward, away from the creature.

Boom!

A great fire exploded, and a cloud of smoke enveloped the area. It was actually an advantage for the Werewolf. He did not hesitate to attack the hunters in smoke blindness. The hunters would have a hard time tracking him amidst the smog, while he was able to know the whereabouts of each of the hunters with his nose.

The Werewolf’s sense of smell was better and sharper than the white wolf’s. It was also more effective than sensing the Mana of every hunter in the vicinity.

On the other hand, the hunters had difficulty knowing and predicting the creature’s movements because of his fast and agile movements.

Dong-hyun realized what was going on, jumped right into the cloud of smoke without a second thought. The C-rank Hunter also did the same.

He used the abilities of the Red Crimson armor. The technique would make the armor ignite and would increase the owner’s fire elemental magic.

Basically, it was like amplifying the magic.

He then let out the fire to envelop his broadsword. That was the new weapon he currently had. The short sword from long ago had shattered in Ji-woo’s hands. And until now, he didn’t get it as Ji-woo promised.

On the other hand, the C-rank hunter used his wind element magic to clear up the surrounding area a little bit. He wasn’t very proficient with the wind element. So, he couldn’t dispel the thick and immense smoke all at once in a single magic spell.

As the surroundings started to become a little clearer, the hunters felt a little relieved. However, they immediately got presented with a shocking and unbelievable sight.

Dong-hyun could follow the Werewolf’s every move quite perfectly. The battle between the two of them seemed to show a fight between two equal Mana users.

However, Dong-hyun, who was fighting head-to-head, knew that he wasn’t even the slightest bit equal to the Werewolf. Each time the creature dodged, he had to vigorously use his footwork to keep up with the creature’s movement. And when he tried to fend off the Werewolf’s attack, he had to draw the Mana he was using on his legs into his arms. He kept doing that, and it weighed heavily on his body.

The stunned hunters immediately gritted their teeth. And promptly look for opportunities and apertures to attack the Werewolf. They know after watching for a while, the fight was out of balance. Even though Dong-hyun didn’t receive any damages on him, he had only been on the defensive without being able to counterattack.

The Werewolf, of course, remained agile in the face of all the attacks of the hunters. It didn’t matter whether it was a combined magic attack or a physical attack. All of them could get avoided and blocked easily. Only this time, he felt that dealing with the hunters was not as easy as before.

Any Werewolf claws that flew towards the hunters who were out of position or away from the other fellow hunters were invariably unsuccessful. It constantly got blocked or parried by a broadsword that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The Werewolf then realized that the broadsword belonged to the hunter wearing the Red Crimson armor. The hunter was also the difference between the previous fight and the current one.

He grinned and gnashed his teeth and fangs.

Knowing the root of the problem, then the solution was to just pull it out.

The Werewolf let out light smoke from his mouth and moved, disappearing from the hunters’ sight.

Not a single hunter was aware of where the Werewolf had gone. However, Dong-hyun, who was already getting tired, had a good sense of Mana thanks to controlling the flow of Mana in training with Ji-woo and Yu-jin. He had goosebumps all over his neck and realized at that moment that the Werewolf was behind him, with high speed aiming for his neck.

Dong-hyun clenched his left fist and gripped the sword in his right. He put all his strength and Mana into the footwork. The moment the claws touched his skin, he immediately made a full circle and slashed at the Werewolf’s hand.

Teng!

Due to the lack of Mana and the strength in Dong-hyun’s right hand, the slash was imperfect and blocked by the claws.

Dong-hyun’s eyes widened when he saw the Werewolf’s head sticking out, coming closer to him.

Arrghk!

Dong-hyun cried out in pain. His left shoulder got bitten by the Werewolf, and the wound was deep and fatal. He immediately bit his lip and thrust the broadsword at the Werewolf’s neck.

The Werewolf released his bite before ripping off Dong-hyun’s left shoulder. The broadsword’s slash managed to have a shallow cut on his neck.

It all happened in a short time, and the other hunters could only stare at it. They couldn’t react at that speed.

Ciit, Boom!

Suddenly, there was a small explosion of deadly fire where the Werewolf was standing.

All the hunters’ eyes automatically turned to the person who caused the small fire explosion.

Chairman Yu landed on the ground smoothly and silently. He immediately acted and stretched out his hands which got wrapped in flames. And instantly, his hands had the same elemental claws as the Werewolf’s original claws. He then drove unceremoniously in the direction the creature was escaping from the previous small fire explosion.

The Werewolf, who was running, was surprised to see Chairman Yu quickly closing the distance between them. When he saw the fire elemental claw swing coming from his right, he immediately raised his arm in a defensive stance.

Kaboom!

The Werewolf crashed heavily onto the ground. He wanted to scream out his pain, but there was no time for that. Chairman Yu, again, appeared in front of him with a swing of the fire element claw. The attack was agonizing for him. Burn marks were visible on his right arm, which warded off the first attack.

This time the Werewolf managed to dodge the fire element claw’s attack even though he got a scratch on the chest in the process. His instincts immediately screamed danger in his head. Successfully dodging meant he had to flee the place immediately.

Chairman Yu certainly wouldn’t allow that to happen. He jumped up, was about to close the distance with the Werewolf, and launched his strike of fire elemental claw again.

Unexpectedly, the Werewolf released dust from his hands and fell into Chairman Yu’s eyes, stopping the attack. However, he did not use the opportunity to strike back. He knew Chairman Yu’s strength was above him. So, it was futile to attack as it would only serve himself directly into the tiger’s mouth instead of eating the deer.

Blind for a moment did not mean incapable.

The Werewolf swiftly ran towards the exit in the area.

There was Yu-jin on guard. She originally intended to join Dong-hyun and the others. But since a white wolf or two had arrived, she had no choice but to stay. The closing of the exit was unexpected, and she had no time to protest. She immediately ordered the remaining civilians to find a temporary hiding place because it was dangerous to stay there.

The presence of Ji-woo’s family that apparently hadn’t left the isolation zone was also made her anxious. And it caught her off guard instead of not being aware of the appearance of the Werewolf beside her.

Kaboom!

Yu-jin was hit hard to the side by the Werewolf’s swift attack.

The civilians, who saw the Werewolf’s presence, trembled and frightened until their legs felt weak like jelly.

The Werewolf extended his left hand and wanted to take Ji-won with him. However, he got Elijah instead of the little girl. Meanwhile, the other civilians just watched and fell on their butt, seeing the event.

Auuooo!!!

The Werewolf screamed and threw Elijah to the ground. He then tried to grab Ji-won, who got scared and cried on the floor. He wanted to use hostages to escape from the area. However, his hands were only halfway there when he felt a murderous aura seep into his head.

“Tired of living, eh!?”

A human voice got heard along with the opening of the exit of the isolation zone.
