I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 18

Chapter 18

“Game-a-ah!”

A huge monster attacked them. The creature was a mixture of a dog and a bear, only much larger than any of them: it was at least three meters high in height alone. They called him, because of the similarity with these animals, “dog-bear.”

Although the nickname sounded funny, it was a pretty strong monster. He, sweeping away everything in his path, rushed towards the people with incredible speed.

But Sung Hoon immediately held out his palm in the direction of the monster.

– Paralysis.

With a flash of blue, the “dog-bear” crashed to the ground.

– Wow!

– Well, do we really need to do anything?

– How is that? Our job is to protect Song Hoon!

Shin Sang Jin and Park Jin Suk were chatting again. At that moment, Lee Jin Soo pulled out his bow. Fluttering in a stream of penetrating mana, the arrows flew into the air.

One of the arrows hit the monster right on the bridge of the nose, and he immediately lost strength.

– What is the mana cost?

– The consumption is small, I have not used the skills yet. In this situation, I think I can shoot about a hundred more arrows.

– It is very cool.

Last time they were also extremely excited, but it seems there is still something to be surprised at, Song Hoon thought.

– We practically sit on your neck. Thank you, Song Hoon, “Lee Jin Soo thanked him.

– You flatter me. I just do what our company tells me to do.

– No no. It is rumored that you are the rising star of the HD Group. And we are very grateful to you for your work.

“Am I a rising star? Apparently, I really ended up in good conditions, “said Song Hoon, because it’s always nice to hear that.

The terms of his contract were truly exceptional. They seem to imply that HD Group has high hopes for Song Hoon.

“Well, well, guys, we take the corpse of the monster and move on,” ordered Kim Do Jin, clapping his hands.

Their hunt continued.

***

The truck used by the awakened was ambushed.

“Our target is moving, hyungnim,” said the awakened man behind the wheel, turning his head.

He was wearing a black helmet and a matching suit.

Next to him was a man wearing the same uniform. His face was not visible. He settled comfortably in the reclined seat.

– Oh, yes? – the man perked up.

– To her.

– Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go faster.

– Got it.

The black-helmet hunter quickly started the truck.

– Servants of large organizations think rather narrowly. In order to get rid of rivals, they even order murders, – the driver started a conversation.

– But isn’t it due to this that we have something to live on? – objected the one who was called “hyunnim”.

– Yes, right.

The truck began to move with a wild roar.

***

– The first one is killed!

– The second is killed!

– The third is killed!

The monsters all continued to die one by one.

In just a few hours, a decent number of dog-bear bodies had accumulated.

– Commander Do Jin, the truck is packed to capacity! – Shouted one of the porters, loading the next bodies of monsters in the truck.

– How? Already? – Kim Do Jin looked up at the sky.

The sun was still at its zenith.

– We finished the hunt right before lunch, – the hunter was surprised.

– Ajossi, how about one more time? – suggested the healer.

Kim Do Jin thought about Min Ye Young’s words.

– How are the others with mana?

– OK.

“Enough,” Shin Sang Jin and Park Jin Suk replied cheerfully.

Actually, Xing Sang Jin did nothing. He is in charge of debuffs, but due to the paralysis skill he had nothing to do.

– Then we’ll stop by the city, hand over the bodies and return. Before sunset, it looks like we can fill another truck. How do you like that?

– Well!

– I agree!

Song Hoon looked at them and smiled.

“Really. We make a lot of money in this way, and even the level can be raised faster. Today I have already raised it by two. ”

If this continues, then he will be able to pump much faster. He didn’t try as hard as he did in his previous life, but the thought of it made him feel better.

This kind of life is not bad either, he thought.

“Commander Kim Do Jin, no connection,” one of the porters said.

He was going to inform the main headquarters about the return of the hunters to the city.

– No connection? – Kim Do Jin was surprised and approached him.

– Yes. This happened for the first time …

Suddenly a trill was heard from afar. Someone fired a firearm. At the same time, one of the bullets hit their truck.

– A-a-a!

– Take cover!

Everyone was immediately confused. The porters hid in the truck in surprise, and the awakened did the same.

Song Hoon closed his eyes and hid behind a truck, on the other side of the attack.

“They are criminals,” there could be no more doubts.

Among the hunters there were those who killed others and plundered the things they got. Sometimes I had to face their attacks.

Not only on the battlefield, but also in cities, there were many cases of murder and robbery. Among the awakened ones, this also happened from time to time.

– Heck! These are black hunters! Take cover, everyone! – shouted Kim Do Jin and stepped forward of the car holding his shield.

Black hunters. Awakened who were engaged in criminal activities.

“He’s a tank, so he has to withstand bullets. But this is quite dangerous, “Sung Hoon assessed the situation.

In fact, Kim Do Jin took a lot of bullets and immediately hid.

– Two cars, they fire machine guns on the roof. Watch out, they are coming! – Kim Do Jin spoke calmly and led in a fairly balanced manner.

“Here he is, our commander! Impressive. But still … it can’t go on that long, Song Hoon thought.

The guy started to move to the hood of the truck. He stuck his head out a little and looked at the approaching cars.

Two trucks sped right at them. Their speed was great, and it seemed a little more and they would be here. Being the first to fire meant that at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the groups clashed.

With the exception of Kim Do Jin, of them all, only Song Hoon could withstand bullets. He quickly took a cube of mana into his hand, then strengthened at the expense of half of his mana and used magic.

“As the lord of mana, I command you: protect me. Shield!

– A-a-a!

A dark blue protective field enveloped his entire body. Everyone looked at his magic and were surprised.

Song Hoon stepped forward of the truck.

Bullets flew continuously, but when they reached the transparent shield, they flattened and fell. Though obviously they weren’t ordinary bullets. Large and thick enough – these are bullets from a stationary machine gun.

“But they can’t immediately pierce the mana shield. If only there was enough time … “- the hunter was worried.

– As the lord of mana, I command you: create lightning! Impale with the Mana Arrow!

[Skill “Lightning” acquired]

[Skill “Mana Arrow” acquired]

Ignoring the system’s alerts, Song Hoon issued the following order and used his mana.

– Let the two become one. Go Lightning Arrow!

[Skill “Lightning Bolt” acquired]

A bright light flashed, and three mana spheres began to spin wildly around Song Hoon.

More and more electricity appeared in them, and in an instant they turned into clots of current.

Three Lightning Bolts pierced through the man who was firing a machine gun while sitting on the roof of the truck.

– A-ah! – came his wild cry.

The Lightning Arrow strike had electrical and physical properties. It was a very powerful magic trick. Piercing through and through, the arrows inflicted severe pain from the electric shock.

The speed was the same as that of natural lightning: it was almost impossible for a person to dodge it. Obviously, the machine gunner on the truck screamed from the electric shock and lost his strength.

It’s hard to know if he died or is still alive, but, in any case, it played into the hands of the group.

Song Hoon immediately used magic once more.

– Arrows of Lightning!

– A-a-a!

The second machine gunner also fell with a wild cry.

– The machine guns are silent, but the robbers are approaching: distance – 200 meters. Everyone, get ready for battle! – shouted Song Hoon.

Hearing the guy’s words, the porters hesitated, but soon began to get weapons from the truck.

Lee Jin Soo jumped onto the roof of one of the bandits’ trucks.

– Die, scum! He shouted. – Storm Arrows!

His bow sparkled with blue light, and arrows began to shoot from his weapon in a volley. More than ten arrows were fired per second. This, of course, is slower than a bullet from a pulimet, but the power of one arrow was much different from the power of a bullet, and in a larger direction.

Arrows hit the trucks one after the other. Their power, of course, was more than that of a machine gun, but this was not enough to destroy the machines, since they were designed to fight monsters.

Therefore, Lee Jin Soo changed his strategy to target truck tires.

They suddenly stopped. At that moment, the trucks were fifty meters away, and all the porters and awakened ones, with the exception of Kim Do Jin and Park Jin Suk, managed to climb onto the vehicles.

The back doors of two bandit trucks opened and black hunters fell out. Lee Jin Soo started shooting as soon as he spotted them, but the bandits held blue shields in front of them, his arrows stuck in the emerging protective field.

– Fire!

The porters also began firing, but the pistols they were armed with fired with ordinary bullets. The blue shielding field easily blocked such an attack. Meanwhile, the attackers got out of the trucks and, using their shields, began to advance.

“If it goes on like this, then they will kill us all,” – scared Kim Do Jin.

The others also sensed the danger. Cold sweat ran down the hunters’ foreheads, and the feeling of excitement and despair grew stronger.

Only one person, only one Song Hoon was okay.

– Ha ha! Consider that you are out of luck …

Everyone heard Sung Hoon click his tongue. The hunters couldn’t believe their ears when they heard his mocking tone.

“What did Song Hoon say now?”

“Is he really at the same time with them? ..”

At that moment, everyone’s thoughts were mixed in a heap. Song Hoon took the mana cube and raised his hand.

“As the lord of mana, I command you: Excavation!

[Skill “Excavation” acquired]

Only Song Hoon received the system alert. Everyone else froze, amazed at his actions.

The surface on which the opponents were running suddenly exploded. Suddenly the soil flew up from under their feet, and those who stood on it, screaming, disappeared somewhere under the earthen embankment.

A huge pile of loose soil formed, and black hunters smeared with mud fell into a deep hole.

It was quite unexpected, and everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. While they were in a state of shock, Song Hoon shouted again:

“As the lord of mana, I command you: Excavation!

Again the earth flew up, flew off to the side and gathered there in a heap. Thus, the black hunters were buried even deeper into the pit.

In the heads of the rest there was a complete mess.

“What is this anyway ?!”

During this time, Song Hoon used his skill again several times.

– A-ah! – the bandits screamed in different voices.

– Agrh! – shouts from the pit were heard.

Now the attackers looked like they were victims here. Buried with soil, turned upside down – they could no longer do anything, buried deep in the ground.

“Sleep … Song Hoon? – confused Kim Do Jin called the guy.

– What’s the matter with you guys? Nobody was hurt, – the guy smiled, looking at his colleagues.
