The city was in ruins.
It shook really hard.
Purple lightning filled the cracked sky while the gigantic Executioner of the Ruined City slowly moved toward the raid team.
Each footstep crushed streets beneath it.
The Executioner of the Ruined City was so big and powerful.
Every hunter present felt the same thing.
They felt despair.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Survival Probability Calculating…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Result: Low
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suhos eyes became small.
Even the system considered this hopeless.
The giant Executioner of the Ruined City pointed directly at Suho again.
It said “Return the shadow”
Then it attacked.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Its chained fist smashed into the ground.
Entire buildings exploded apart instantly.
Hunters screamed while debris rained everywhere.
Someone said “MOVE!!”
Suho activated Mana Reinforcement at power and barely escaped the impact zone.
Then the shockwave blasted him through a collapsed bus.
CRASH!!
Pain shot through his body.
Blood dripped from his forehead again.
Suho said “This things insane…”
Nearby several hunters were already severely injured.
One healer desperately shouted “We can’t hold this level of damage!”
Cha Hae-In rushed across the battlefield at speed.
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!!
Her swords cut into the giants arm.
Purple blood sprayed outward.
The wounds regenerated almost instantly.
Her eyes became wide.
She said “Its healing fast.”
The giant Executioner of the Ruined City swung its chains violently.
BOOOOM!!
The shockwave destroyed nearby buildings.
Cha Hae-In barely blocked but got thrown backward across the street.
Suho immediately summoned Fang again.
He said “Hold it down!”
ROOOOOAR!!
The giant shadow beast leaped toward the Executioner of the Ruined City aggressively.
Its claws tore into the giants shoulder.
Darkness and corrupted mana collided violently.
For one moment the Executioner of the Ruined City actually staggered.
The hunters stared in disbelief.
They said “That shadow beast can fight it?!”
Then the Executioner of the Ruined City grabbed Fangs neck.
It used one hand.
Effortlessly.
Suhos eyes became wide.
He said “FANG!!”
CRAAAAASH!!
The giant slammed Fang through three ruined buildings instantly.
The shadow beast dissolved partially into smoke from the impact.
Even Fang could not match this monster physically.
Then suddenly the giant Executioner of the Ruined City looked upward.
Its glowing core pulsed violently.
Deep beneath the city another roar echoed upward.
It was lower.
It was older.
It was more terrifying.
Suho felt cold chills run down his spine.
He said “There’s another monster below us.”
The system flashed urgently.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DANGER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dungeon Core Entity Awakening
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Cha Hae-In rushed beside Suho.
She said “We need to retreat.”
Suho looked toward the surviving hunters.
Several could not even stand anymore.
If they tried escaping many would die before reaching the gate.
The Executioner of the Ruined City suddenly raised both chained arms into the air.
Purple energy gathered rapidly around its core.
Cha Hae-Ins expression changed instantly.
She said “EVERYONE TAKE COVER!!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
A massive wave of mana exploded outward.
Entire skyscrapers collapsed instantly.
The ruined city shattered apart.
Suho tried blocking using Mana Reinforcement.
CRASH!!
His body flew violently through the air.
Everything blurred.
Pain exploded everywhere.
He smashed through layers of broken concrete before stopping beneath collapsed rubble.
There was silence.
Darkness surrounded him.
Blood covered his face.
His vision blurred heavily.
He said “Can’t move…”
For the time since receiving the system Suho truly felt death approaching.
His mana was almost gone.
His body was broken.
Above the rubble he could hear the Executioner of the Ruined City approaching slowly.
BOOM.
BOOM.
BOOM.
It was like death itself walking toward him.
The system flickered weakly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Critical Condition Detected
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Host Near Death
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho tried moving
Nothing.
The giant Executioner of the Ruined City finally stopped directly above the rubble.
Its glowing purple eyes stared downward emotionlessly.
It said “Weak…”
The giant slowly raised one fist.
Suhos heartbeat slowed.
He said “So this is it…”
Then a memory flashed through his mind.
A hospital room.
His mother smiling weakly.
Jinho laughing loudly.
Cha Hae-In telling him to survive.
That ancient voice again it said “Rise.”
Suddenly the shadow beneath the rubble moved violently.
Darkness exploded outward from, beneath Suho.
The Executioner of the Ruined City froze for the time.
Because the shadow leaking from the rubble no longer belonged to a hunter.
Somewhere deep inside Suho something ancient fully opened its eyes.
