Chapter 271 – Messiah (3)

[All the Ogres have been slain.]
Violation.
That was the only word that could be used to describe Isaac Ivanov and Lee Se-jun’s attack on the first floor of the dungeon.
It was overwhelming.
There was no time to feel your body heat up or to feel any tension.
[Proceed to the next floor.]
Even the notifications that they received in this situation were unable to cause tension.
Of course, Isaac Ivanov was different.
He remained cautious and vigilant towards his surroundings.
As soon as they entered the new floor, he immediately spread his senses and looked around.
[Survive for 30 days to proceed to the next floor.]
They were attacking the dungeon, so naturally, he would try to gather as much information as he could from their surroundings.
In other words, Isaac Ivanov’s attention was focused on understanding the dungeon.
This also meant that the caution and vigilance he had towards other things would be considerably less.
It was basically impossible to hope that Isaac Ivanov would be able to prevent a sudden attack from those he considered his allies in this situation.
Puk!
It happened in an instant.
A long spear stabbed deep into Isaac Ivanov’s side.
“Kuk.”
As Isaac Ivanov turned around, shocked by this sudden attack, a bright flash of light exploded in front of his eyes.
[Sacred light explodes.]
Blinding Explosion.
[Medusa’s Curse has activated.]
After seeing these notifications, Isaac Ivanov shouted.
“Lee Se-jun!”
The answer he received was another notification.
[The effect of the Longinus Spear(1) makes it impossible to use skills.]
The Spear of Longinus!
Isaac Ivanov could do nothing but shout in front of the spear which had rendered even G.o.d powerless.
He moved to pull the spear from his body.
He then gave a command to all of the skeletons around him.
This order was simple.
Destroy everything!
Boom!
Suddenly, a bright yellow bolt of lightning struck down upon Isaac Ivanov’s head.
[Zeus’ lightning strikes.]
Zeus’ lightning.
The lightning bolt struck Isaac Ivanov’s head without giving him the chance to escape.
At that moment, Isaac Ivanov’s body froze.
Boom boom!
Zeus’ lightning kept striking down upon Isaac Ivanov’s head.
And because of this, Isaac Ivanov was unable to hear.
[The Bifrost has been activated.]
That the Messiah Guild had locked him up perfectly.
…
[The Bifrost has been activated.]
Bifrost.
The ultimate barrier spell that prevented anything from entering or leaving without the permission of the caster for 6 days.
This was Park s.h.i.+n-hye’s trump card.
The moment this spell activated, the players from the Messiah Guild were certain.
‘We’ve succeeded.’
‘We locked up Isaac Ivanov!’
When they first began to plan the hunting of Isaac Ivanov, there was one thing that the Messiah Guild was most worried about.
‘Now he can’t escape even if he has the Cap of Invisibility.’
And that was none other than the Cap of Invisibility.
After all, it wouldn’t be possible if he had the ability to hide himself at any time he was faced with a dangerous situation.
‘Even if he has the Cap of invisibility, he won’t be able to escape the Bifrost.’
The only way to kill Isaac Ivanov was to confine him in an area.
And now they’d been able to confine him in the area within the Bifrost barrier.
Of course, the attacks that had been dealt to Isaac Ivanov before that were certainly not enough to kill him.
The attack from the Spear of Longinus could have been considered deadly, and the repeated attacks from Zeus’ lightning would have paralyzed the target’s thinking ability.
But even that wasn’t enough.
“Look it’s a Dokkaebi.”
So while he was defenseless and trapped in the Bifrost, Isaac Ivanov would be forced to fight against Park s.h.i.+n-hye’s Seven Colored Dokkaebis.
He would have to fight against these creatures that could even burn Dragons without any weapons.
An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to fight against a single lion with just their body.
Therefore, this was basically the end of the Isaac Ivanov hunt.
“Now we just need to deal with Spas.h.i.+ba.”
All that was left was to deal with the remnants.
“This was much easier than I expected.”
The remnant was also unusual, but it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for the Messiah Guild’s members.
It was then.
“Stay alert.”
A player came over to them as they were relaxing and gave them a warning.
“The battle isn’t over yet.”
In the end, the Messiah Guild members could only nod.
“From now on, we’ll be hunting Spas.h.i.+ba.”
Even when they heard these words, they still nodded without saying anything.
No one doubted these words.
There was nothing to doubt.
The one who’d appeared was one of their colleagues who was also given the task of clearing up the remnants.
Naturally, none of them noticed.
“You’d better be careful not to get killed by a monster while chasing him.”
The black flash in that person’s eyes as he gave them this reminder.
…
The most thrilling way to hunt was to catch your prey without making any preparations.
And on the other hand, the least thrilling way to hunt was to be fully prepared and simply wait for your prey to walk into your trap.
“It’s over.”
“This just proves that our preparations were perfect.”
It was for that reason that the Bow G.o.d responded to the Sword Saint in such a way as they stared at the hazy walls of the Bifrost.
And it was for the same reason that the Sword Saint didn’t say anything further after receiving this response.
“It’s not over yet.”
It was Cho Sung-woo who approached them and spoke.
“There’s still his teammate.”
The silver armor that Cho Sung-woo was wearing was filled with dents and tears.
These were signs of battle.
They were the signs he gained while dealing with the monster known as the Death Knight.
They were amazing signs.
After all, those who could survive with just these traces after going up against such a ridiculous monster would not surpa.s.s 50 even if one was to search the entire world.
Despite being such a talented man, Cho Sung-woo still spoke with a voice filled with apprehension.
“His teammate is also unnatural.”
He gave a sincere warning so that they would not look down on Isaac Ivanov’s runaway teammate.
“He’s the best tank I’ve ever seen.”
It was high praise.
In fact, it was high to the point of feeling excessive.
However, the Bow G.o.d and Sword Saint didn’t doubt this praise.
“If you say it that much, then he must definitely be unnatural.”
After all, how could they not know what type of person Cho Sung-woo was?
“This should be interesting.”
More importantly, it was the Sword Saint and Bow G.o.d’s task to hunt Isaac Ivanov’s teammate.
As some of the world’s leading hunters, they knew better than to disregard a warning about their prey.
“Then let’s move.”
And so, the two hunters also went to capture the remnants.
…
“s.h.i.+ba.”
As soon as Lee Jin-ah let out a short complaint at the thick forest surrounding him, something came up behind him.
‘Ah.’
As soon as he felt it, Lee Jin-ah turned around and saw a sword flying towards him at an incredible speed.
Lee Jin-ah leaned his head to the side.
Piht!
The tip of the sword pierced through the s.p.a.ce where Lee Jin-ah’s head just was.
At the same time, the sword qi emanating from the sword pierced the trees behind Lee Jin-ah.
Instead of a sword, it was more like an attack from a gun.
It was truly an eerie ability.
“s.h.i.+ba!”
Lee Jin-ah roared and punched at the enemy who stabbed at him.
This punch was incredibly powerful.
Paak!
Following a harsh sound, the body of the person who was. .h.i.t by this punched soared into the air.
But after reaching a decent height, they simply corrected their posture, flipped over and landed lightly on the ground.
There were no attacks after that.
‘f.u.c.k.’
From Lee Jin-ah’s perspective, this situation was even more annoying.
From now on, he’d have to be worrying about when his enemy would attack him, and from where.
Of course, there was one thing that made Lee Jin-ah a bit nervous.
‘I’m surrounded.’
And that was the fact that he was actually surrounded in this thick forest.
