Chapter 222
In fact, hunters at SS-rank or higher were very rare on Earth.
'At most, there may be about 30 of them?'
In the demon world, SS-rank hunters could be considered to be at least as powerful as a duke. Even among the Demon King Worshipers Hexagram Masters, Jackson, the Beast King, was one of the closest to the pinnacle.
I was wondering who would come, and it turned out to be the most extreme one
Yu-Seong bit his lip, feeling cold sweat trickle down his back.
Since the Godfather intended to subdue the vampires, Yu-Seong had predicted that the Demon King Worshipers would send a fairly strong individual to seize this opportunity to gain the upper hand. However, the actual monster that had arrived was much more formidable than Yu-Seong had expected.
Moreover, as mentioned before, Jackson was somewhat of a radical. He was known to turn the entire surroundings into a mess if he felt like he was being obstructed, even if the obstruction was not necessarily his target.
"Damn it, run away!"
The desperate vampires were not running for nothing.
'The problem is that even if they run away...'
Jackson was not a man one could just get away from.
Jackson had been standing in front of Yu-Seong just moments ago, but now, he was smashing several vampires heads in succession. He stopped them from running away.
Meanwhile, the surviving vampires had a thought. No matter how much of a monster he is, he wont be able to catch us all alone.'
As if reading their minds Jackson, who was left alone in the collapsing barrier, snickered. "You stupid idiots. If I wanted to catch all of you from the beginning, it would have already been done.
There was a reason why Jackson had let the vampires go. The vampires who had fled were frozen solid in mid-air before falling back to the ground like hail. They shattered into pieces and instantly died.
Naturally, everyone's gaze turned to the woman on a witch's broom.
Waving her hand lightly under the full moon in the night sky, the woman remarked, "If you hadn't sent any, I would have been so disappointed.
"Talia-!" the vampires exclaimed.
As another Hexagram Master, the Queen of Frigidity, had appeared, the vampires who were fleeing stopped in their tracks. In fact, they had already given up on life.
"Didn't the Boss tell you not to do anything stupid and to lay low for a while? Why didn't you listen?" Talia asked with a smile as she waved her hand in the air.
Watching as all of the vampires on the ground turned into ice and floated into the air at Talias wave, Yu-Seong couldn't help but feel cold sweat running down his back.
How much mana and precise control do you need to do something like that?
Yu-Seong couldn't help but shudder in fear.
These are the Hexagram Masters.

They were practically the strongest people in this world.
For now, It is impossible for me to deal with them.
What should he do if they decided to start a rampage? Yu-Seong started to come up with a plan for emergencies.
"Don't be so afraid, Choi Yu-Seong. I was just surprised. I have no intention of doing anything to you," Jackson said, turning to smirk at Yu-Seong. He added, "Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to do anything to you right now. Someone even higher than me is watching over you from above.
In fact, there was only one person who was higher than a Hexagram Master in rank.
The Godfather, Eveheim, who is the pinnacle of the Demon King Worshipers.
Although he called himself a Demon King Worshiper, Eveheim was a monster just as strong as the Demon King himself.
Recalling the brief interaction he had with Eveheim, Yu-Seong sighed in relief.
I knew he was someone who was clear with his favor and resentment, so did have some hope, but
He never thought that his plan would work so well.
After eliminating all the vampires around them, Jackson and Talia started talking about In-Young, who looked pale.
"What should we do with that girl?" asked Talia.
"The Godfather didnt say anything about her, right? responded Jackson.
"He didn't say anything, but that girl is from the Helarg family."
"Does that matter? The Helarg family will disappear from this world after today."
As the conversation between the two continued, In-Young's face turned even paler.
What? My family is going to disappear?
The Choi family was In-Youngs paternal side of the family, but she had simply been commanded to stay with the Chois by her maternal side of the family. Even though the Comet Group was large, the difference in scale between them and the Helarg family, a vampire clan that owned one of the world's top five companies, was big.
However, Talia and Jackson were claiming that such a powerful family like the Helarg family would disappear. It would have been a bad joke coming from anybody else, but these two were Hexagram Masters. Even if the strongest vampires of the Helarg family had come out, they wouldn't be able to withstand the greatest powers of the Demon King Worshipers in a fight.
"Well, if that's the case, there's nothing we can do but eliminate the last survivor ourselves," Jackson said with a smirk, banging his fist.
"See, this is why you should have listened to the Godfather from the start." Talia shook her head, as if she was unable to understand the vampires.
Jackson, who looked as if he was about to smash In-Young's head with his fist, stopped and turned to look at Yu-Seong. He asked, "Hey, you. Do you want to save this woman?"
... Yu-Seong didn't say anything. In truth, he didnt care if In-Young died. However, he didn't want to let her fate be in Jackson's hands.
She should be judged by someone else.
The problem was, why had Jackson had even asked Yu-Seong such a question? Yu-Seong believed that things could become difficult if a powerful and scary monster like Jackson heard the answer to his question and threw a pointless tantrum.
"Just answer honestly. Im asking because I want you to owe me one, said Jackson.
Yu-Seong slowly nodded at Jackson's sly grin. "I'm not going to save her, but she doesn't deserve to die like this.
Jackson chuckled, "You're quite honest. If you said you wanted to save her, I would have smashed her head right away. Haha."
After watching Jackson slowly drop his fist with a light laugh, Talia burst into laughter. "Since hes one of the Godfather's chosen ones, you want to look good, don't you?"
Jackson shrugged his shoulders. "It wouldn't hurt. You never know how our relationship might change in the future.
Again, Talia burst into laughter at Jackson's words.
From Yu-Seong's perspective, the statement was not an easy one to understand.
What does it mean that Eveheim has chosen me? Why would that happen?
The original novel had a similar story.
The Godfather's successor.
The basic plot was that the Demon King Worshipers would first cause chaos in the world by summoning the Demon King, with the ultimate goal of reigning supreme themselves. While considering the Godfather to be the ruler of this world, they also sought to find a successor to him.
However, in the original novel, the person Eveheim had targeted was not Yu-Seong but Do-Jin. Why had this suddenly changed?
Is it a good or bad thing?
Feeling the sudden approach of people due to the barriers complete collapse, Jackson asked, "So what are you going to do, Choi Yu-Seong? If you accept my offer"
"I'll accept it," said Yu-Seong.
"Good. We could be good friends," answered Jackson with a smile. Then, turning his gaze to Do-Yoon, he said, "And I also quite like you too.
As if he was already in his werewolf state, Do-Yoon's fur stood on end. He could tell just how overwhelmingly powerful the man in front of him was.
"See you again, my friends," said Jackson as he backed away.
"You lady, over there. You are mine. I'll see you again," said Talia, waving to Yu-Ri before disappearing.
After the two Hexagram Masters who had whipped up a storm around them had left, In-Young, who had stood rooted to the spot with a dumb expression, burst into a loud laugh. "Ahaha, ahahahaha! How How embarrassing
Everything she had believed in had crumbled in an instant, leaving her in such a pitiful state that she could do nothing but laugh.
"How could this happen? Do you know what I did to survive? Do you know what I endured?" screamed In-Young, who turned to look at Yu-Seong with her red eyes.
Just as Do-Yoon stepped forward at that moment, Yu-Seong raised his hand to stop him. He said, "I'll speak with her.
A brief silence ensued as the two siblings, who could have been ordinary siblings, looked at each other.
"It's really over now. I'd like to say I'll spare you, but you've committed too many evil deeds."
"You never know, your friends outside might be struggling. You're too confident. Haha," said In-Young.
"You cant be so clueless as to say that and mean it, right? You know that Choi Seok-Young and Choi Yeo-Reum can't even handle Jin Woo hyung-nim alone."
However, Yu-Seong also had the support of Min-Seok and Ji-Ho, as well as his own full power to rely on.
"...Theyre probably already subdued from the beginning," said Yu-Seong.
"I know!" shouted In-Young as she charged fiercely toward Yu-Seong. She yelled, "But it's still not over yet, is it? Whether in Chess or in Janggi, you have to capture the King to end it.
Yu-Seong dodged In-Youngs attack with ease, using minimal movements. He also managed to strike her abdomen with a strong kick.
Thud-!
"Cough!" In-Young spat blood and was thrown into the air.
A-rank, half-vampire.
Her physical combat abilities were certainly impressive, and some S-rank hunters would struggle to keep up with her. However, her charging recklessly toward Yu-Seong was useless; he was skilled enough to be caught off guard by her and still win.
I was certain after watching the Hexagram Masters earlier.
Talia and Jackson were both surprisingly strong, but Yu-Seong was confident that he could catch up to them soon. His growth rate was incredibly fast.
Needless to say, In-Young was no match for him.
"So give up," Yu-Seong said calmly.
"Who said I'm giving up?!" In-Young retorted as a red energy swirled around her again.
While Do-Yoon and Yu-Ri tensed up at In-Youngs aggressive stance, Yu-Seong remained unfazed. He could see a black shadow quickly escaping from within the red energy with his Third Eye.
Shes running away.
In fact, if he really wanted to catch In-Young, he could have chased after her and captured her no matter what. However, he didn't do that hastily.
If someone is to bring an end to her...
It wasn't him who had to judge In-Young. There was another person who had to do it.
"Jin Yu-Ri, clean up the surrounding area and coordinate with the police if people come."
"Yes, oppa," replied Yu-Ri.
"Jin Do-Yoon, you can help Yu-Ri," Yu-Seong commanded.
"Are you planning to go after Choi In-Young, young master?" asked Do-Jin.
"Don't worry. You know I can handle those situations on my own," replied Yu-Seong with confidence.
Seeing Yu-Seong's reliable and confident smile, the two siblings couldn't say anything.
Young master... already...
Yu-Seong oppa has already been free from our grasp for a long time.
The more the Jin siblings thought about it, the more they realized it to be true. In the battle to take over the vast Comet Group corporation, they hadn't done much. They had simply been following Yu-Seong's orders and managing the people as needed.
And yet, even with their limited roles, Yu-Seong was able to successfully end this massive fight without any major issues. Their young master, who had once seemed small and insignificant, had surprisingly grown tremendously in a short amount of time.
