Holymancer : Unang Aklat

Chapter 36, part 3 : South Korea's CounterAttack

Gangnam...

A few minutes prior to the deployment of the Holymancer Army of our protagonist, Clyde...

Kalalabas pa lang noon ng grupo ng tatlo, sina Clyde, Flare at Crissa sa kwarto ng chairman ng Hunter Association of Korea.

"Clyde, Crissa, wala naman siguro kayong problema sa pag-akto ko bilang lead sa misyong ito?" Paghingi nang approval ni Flare sa dalawang kasamahan.

"Wala." Sagot ni Clyde at Crissa in unison.

"Ikaw ang mas nakakaalam sa lugar na ito. Nanirahan ka sa bansang ito sa nakalipas. Paniguradong pamilyar ka rito kesa sa'ming dalawa." Pagbibigay katwiran pa ni Crissa pabor sa ka-guild.

Pasimple namang tumango si Clyde, giving his own seal of approval.

"Good, then." Masiglang turan ni Flare.

"We'll go straight to Seoul Station to give Masahiro Muswashi a helping hand. I have a strong hunch na naroroon ang sagot sa walang katapusang pagsulpot ng mga monsters na pinoproblema ng South Koreans." Pagbubukas nang diskusyon ni Flare sa pamamagitan ng pagiging direct to the point. In-orient n'ya silang dalawa sa kanyang plano.

"I like it. Your plan. It most likely, at the very least, to give us a clue on what is really happening. Doon kasi pinaka-concentrated ang pinakamalalakas na kalaban." Pagde-deduce ni Clyde sa thought process ni Flare sa planong 'yon.

Soon, the three newly arrived rank S hunters in Korea from the Philippines reached a veranda on a floor at a higher point inside the building of Korea's Hunters Association.

The three rank S hunters who was casually talking suddenly jumped downwards without any ounce of hesitation.

The hunter who was acting as their guide have his eyes the size a saucer. Upon recovery, the weird request of the hunters to bring them to an open space inside the building started to bizzardly made sense.

When Clyde, Flare and Crissa jumped, monsters below the Korea's Hunter Association's building quickly took notice. The monsters gathered at their landing spot in droves. Waiting viciously and excitedly to welcome them to their deaths. But what these monsters didn't know is that these three humans are different from the other people they've bullied to death.

When Clyde's elite group of three is within five meters away from the monsters, they took action.

Mahinang sumipa gamit ang kaliwa si Flare. Sa ginawa, may nagbabagang apoy ang tumupok at nagpahiyaw sa mga halimaw sa ibaba nila. Binuka at tatamad-tamad na itinutok ni Clyde ang isang palad sa mga halimaw sa ibaba. Nag-produce ng mapupusyaw na luntiang mga liwanag ang kanyang palad. Kasunod noo'y maliksi at walang-habas na inatake ng mga luntiang orbo ang mga halimaw gaya ng apoy ni Flare. Ang kaibahan lang ay walang-imik na nagtumbahan ang mga tinalbugan ng mga orbo ni Clyde at tuluyan nang nawalan ng mga buhay. Makaraan namang simpleng umatake ng dalawa ay hinaya ni Crissa ang magkabilaang kamay sa kanyang mga gilid. Nagliwanag sa bandang mga paa nila. Pagkatapos ay may naramdaman silang isang invisible protective wall sa kanilang mga paanan. Sa paglapag ng tatlo ay wala silang natamong pinsala kahit katiting man lang. The three didn't bother to use a stair because this shortcut is the best path. They saved some of their valuable time that can decide this country's fate.

Sa paglapag ay sinalubong sila nang nakapalibot na mga halimaw. It is composed of a mixture of Kitsune, Haetae, Jamgsan Tiger and many other monsters that exist in Korea's very own folklore. Sinamahan pa iyon nang manaka-nakang mga dangerous Dokkaebi. But these strong monsters are proven to be too weak to handle the three of them together.

Si Clyde ay nagbabato ng iba-ibang uri ng kanyang skills that he disguised as magic abilities for a mage type hunter while pacing his skills. Kahit na ganun ay obvious pa ring ang Bouncing Soul Creepers ang kanyang main ability. Almost every monsters he slayed actually fell because of the Bouncing Soul Creepers. The monsters kept on falling like dominoes after making contact with the orbs produced by the said overpowered skill.
