Chapter 188: Chapter 188 - Demons' Forest (3)
Chapter 188 – Demons’ Forest (3)
Galliard was a Dark Elf whom he met in the Tutorial . He had chased after Akasha’s snake for a long time and gave Shunpo to Yeon-woo after a quest .
Also, he was his brother’s first teacher .
After finding the picture of his family, he didn’t seem to know what to do . But it seemed like he had climbed the Tower, and he was staying with Brahm, who was his friend .
However, the combination of Galliard and Aether was something he had never thought of, and Yeon-woo felt extremely confused right now .
‘People like Aether are following Brahm, and if Galliard is stopping that… . . ’
Yeon-woo quickly followed after Galliard .
Galliard was famous for being a local of the Tutorial . He was as strong as a ranker .
But as he received rewards from climbing the Tower, it seemed like he had gotten stronger .
Everytime he moved with his Shunpo, there were remnants left behind, and the speed at which he shot his arrow was hard to chase with the eyes .
However, the arrow wasn’t a simple wooden arrow . It was an iron arrow that was carefully made .
Had Brahm made it separately for him?
Boom!
Like magic had been cast on the arrow, the iron arrow exploded where it landed .
The 9 Elohim players quickly scattered .
When you were dealing with a bow user, the damage would be greater the closer you were with other people . You needed to spread apart to decrease the bow user’s range .
Like they were thinking the same thing, they quickly avoided the arrows and formed a circle to catch Galliard .
But that was only possible if they could catch up to the archer .
Since Galliard had already mastered the skill called Shunpo, it was almost impossible for them to catch up .
Also, this was the Demons’ Forest . This place was disadvantageous to the Elohim players, and because there was cover everywhere, Galliard was like a fish in water .
Pababat—
Galliard fell back and continued to shoot arrows . His arrows were so rapid that the rankers felt a chill on their backs .
When they realized that they couldn’t avoid it, the players got their swords out to flick the arrows away . Once the arrows met their swords, a shock wave and fire covered them .
“Keacck!”
“Shit!”
The two that had been trying to catch Galliard spit out curses and fell back . One’s body had been completely burned, and the other’s had become completely bloodied as their sword was broken into pieces .
When Galliard was about to knock another arrow, suddenly, a player appeared from behind him . It was the High Elf with gold hair . He was the only person who had been able to barely catch up to Galliard .
“Got you… . . !”
The High Elf laughed confidently and tried to pierce his sword where Galliard, but his expression hardened right after .
Galliard’s figure was fading away like an illusion .
When your speed was at the extreme, there would be some remnants of you left behind in the air . Galliard had learned new skills after mastering his Shunpo .
It was a skill where he left his remnants behind to trick his opponents’ eyes and secretly hurt them .
And after they were caught in it, the trap would be activated . Behind him, there was a shadow of a tree . The arrow landed in the back of the rebelling High Elf .
Kwang!
“Keuk!”
He circulated his Wind Spirit and just barely made a barrier around him to block the arrow .
But the shock of the explosion was so big that his body was pushed back, and because his vision was blocked from the black smoke, he lost Galliard .
Then, Galliard’s body suddenly bent backward and was flung forward .
He had been using a hit and run strategy, but this time, he was aiming for a face to face fight .
“You dare! A child of darkness!”
The High Elf’s face crumpled as Galliard appeared through the smoke .
To a High Elf, who had the blood of the precious god of beauty, Freya, a Dark Elf was a disgusting and lowly species .
To him, Galliard was nothing more than a quick-footed hunter . The fact that he was attacking him meant that he was looking down at him, so he wanted to show him who he was messing with .
But there was something the High Elf was mistaken about . A bow and arrow were just tools that Galliard used . He was still a master in other martial arts and weapons .
And as Galliard’s skill increased, the High Elf’s martial art couldn’t follow him .
Galliard pulled out an arrow and slashed through the High Elf’s wrists and his Achilles tendon .
“Runt!”
Other people belatedly arrived to stop Galliard, but Galliard had already moved back and was shooting arrows at them .

He had chosen the method of critically injuring someone and attacking the rest of them when they came to help the injured .
The Elohim were all in the palm of Galliard’s hand .
They were one-sidedly attacked .
Eventually, Aether stepped up .
“He’s like a rat . ”
Aether wrinkled his forehead and created arrows of light using his holy power .
Each of them all had an immense amount of holy power . When he brought his hand down, the arrows fell on Galliard like rain .
Galliard used his Shunpo to escape, but the arrows of light kept on following him .
A few turned in different directions to surround Galliard, and before he knew, Galliard was already trapped .
His front, back, right and left were all blocked . The arrows all glinted with light .
“Explode . ”
With the command word that only those with holy power could say, tens of arrows exploded at once .
As the white light became bigger, the surroundings of the lake began to be destroyed .
The sound of the explosion wasn’t even that big . But like the light of the sun, a white light pushed away the darkness and the black smoke .
Demon Trees, different Demonic species, and even the ghosts disappeared without a sound .
Just when they thought Galliard would be swept away as well… . .
He gathered his magic power on his feet and jumped high into the sky .
At the same time, the other players of Elohim moved as well .
Below, the atmosphere became dizzying because of the explosion of the arrows of light . They followed him because they were thinking that it wouldn’t be easy for him to hide in mid-air, where there wasn’t any cover .
Different artifacts bursted with light and created a storm .
Aether also began to use his signature skill, . Spears made purely of light targeted Galliard .
There wasn’t an escape . Because Galliard knew this too, he twisted his body in mid-air and tossed out the discus that was in his belt .

It was a shield that his friend Brahm gave him before coming here .
In an instant, the discus grew and became a sturdy shield that looked like a bee hive .
When it was hit with the attacks, the shield shook like it was about to break any second .
The players got their skills ready again after that .
But at that moment… . .
Grrrr, boom!
Suddenly, lightning bolts fell from the sky . They were bolts made of fire . Yeon-woo had activated his skill, Fire Rain, after watching the situation .
The Fire Rain had been absorbed by Wave of Fire, but the skill had not disappeared completely . Rather, Yeon-woo was able to adjust the intensity of the skill after the 21st and the 22nd floor, so it was even more destructive now .
It was literally a bolt from the blue for the players who had just been focused on their fight and hadn’t expected an attack from the outside .
The bolts took the players off guard . The players that were already injured by Galliard experienced intense pain .
With 3 of them completely toasted, the smell of burnt skill filled the air . The rest of them had barely used their skills and artifacts to save themselves, but they were still injured .
The least injured person still had a severe burn . Everyone else was barely holding onto their breaths .
And as a sharp breeze blew above them, Yeon-woo appeared . Along with Blink, he brought Vigrid down .
‘Jul . ’
With his sword techniques that had improved fighting the Martial King, and with Bian on top of that, he was able to quickly cut off the heads of 3 players .
It really happened in the blink of an eye . The rest of them looked at Yeon-woo with shock .
A black mask and black clothes . And red wings with a white sword . It was exactly what they had heard about the Hoarder .
Even Galliard, who didn’t know about Yeon-woo’s new outfit, was able to realize who it was right away just by his figure .
“You… . . ?”
[I’ll tell you the details once we get out of here . ]
After hearing Yeon-woo’s Open Speaking, Galliard had a slightly surprised face . Because to have awakened your consciousness meant that you were at least on the level of a ranker .
To Gallaird, who only remembered him from the Tutorial, it was a surprising growth .
But because they were in this situation, he just nodded his head .
As soon as Galliard gave his permission, he spread open his Fire Wings .

“Youuuuuu!”
Just then, Aether screamed in fury with a violently twisted face from below .
He had unexpectedly lost five of his subordinates . The other 3 weren’t that well off either . But because his target was about to escape, he felt like he was going to lose it .
Seeing the person who prioritized his reputation over everything else make that face, Yeon-woo felt like something he had just washed away a bad taste from his mouth .
But he couldn’t take his time . The guy used his Holy Punishment of Light again, and Yeon-woo gripped Vigrid .
The Holy Punishment of Light was a skill that brought down tens of lightning bolts that were like spears . It was buffed by Aether’s light property, and even players within Elohim tended to avoid fighting with him .
So Yeon-woo swung Vigrid to the right and exploded his skills without any control .
[72 Arts – Pok, Yul]
[Wave of Fire]
The new Bian that he learned caused a fire that was incomparable to the arrows of light .
When the Holy Punishment of Light was combined with this, red and white energy clashed, forming a huge mushroom cloud to float high up in the air .
The heat burned everything in its path . The forest around it was burned to a crisp until there was nothing more than the dirt on the ground .
While everyone was trying to get a grasp on themselves, he used Blink with Galliard to quickly leave the location .
He could see Aether screaming in rage in the corner of his eye, but he was busy blocking off the fire . The other survivors would have to struggle a bit if they wanted to live as well .
[Seriously, this is whack every time I see you . Are you using fireworks or something?]
[The bigger problem is that the spark might spread to the rest of the forest… . . I don’t know what’ll happen . ]
Shanon and Hanryeong exclaimed with compliments that weren’t really compliments and checked the souls of the 5 dead rankers .
Then Yeon-woo quickly left .
He glanced back to see where Aether was struggling .
Since they would meet again, he could get him next time .
