Chapter 234: A Hero for the Downtrodden (4)

The chill in the air felt sharp enough to penetrate flesh, and white puffs of breath left his lips like cigarette smoke.

Thump. thump

The sound of his heartbeat was like thunder in the otherwise silent cave. Ohjin gulped as he looked down at the unconscious Namgung Hui.

For him to become like this means that the monster within the cave is at least 10-Star

Of course, it was true that Hui had just become a 10-Star and was weak in comparison to real 10-Star Awakeners like Isabella, but that still didnt mean he would be easy to beat. Putting the mans personality aside, Ohjin couldnt deny that he was talented and had earned the right to be a candidate for the Seven Stars.

That only went to show how powerful the black-ranked monster within the cave had to be to overwhelm Namgung Hui and knock him unconscious.

It looks like their warning was warranted, huh? Ohjin scoffed as he recalled how theyd been warned about the monster. A cold sweat ran down his spine as he clutched his spear and walked deeper into the cave.

A wide, open cavern appeared at the end of the long, icy passage, and a stream of white light shone from a hole in the ceiling, reflecting off of the ice to light up the interior as bright as day.

A monster wearing a black necklace stood within the radiance of the sunbeam. Blue armor covered its body, a rusted sword hung from its waist, and dark-red eyes glowed from within its helmet.

The monster was similar to a human in size and looked almost like it could have just been a person standing in full armor. Rather than a monster, it was more appropriate to call it a knight.

Living Armor? Thats the first thing that came to his mind, but No. He shook his head. The monster didnt give off the ghost-specific eerie and subtle energy that a Living Armor did.

Just what kind of monster is this? He frowned and observed the blue-armored knight.

Seeming to feel his stare, the knight, whod been staring up toward the hole in the ceiling, lowered its head and locked its dark-red eyes onto Ohjin, who was half-hidden behind a pillar of ice.

! That brief moment of eye contact was enough for Ohjin to completely understand and realize everything he needed to.

Damn. His teeth chattered, and chills shot through his body like blades. He was so cold that he felt like he would freeze to death at any moment. What the? Ohjin swallowed and clenched his trembling fist.

The blue-armored knight removed its rusty sword from its waist, slowly lifted the weapon, and gently lowered itself into a stance.

Clang!

A flick of its sword was all it needed to deflect an arrow headed toward it from behind.

Keuk! N-no way! It wasnt even looking this way! a young, blond man with a distinctive leaf bow exclaimed from behind a pillar of ice on the other side of the caveOrlando Bale, a high-ranking archer of Sagittarius.

"Hmph! You stupid archer! You didn't even get it right with a surprise attack?" A bald man yelled out as he ran from the pillar with a look of disdain on his faceJason Hardy, the high-ranking Taurus Awakener known as the Iron Fist.

"Shut up! I shot at it from a blind spot. Didn't you see it?"

"Hey! That's why I said I don't need a surprise attack!" Jason jumped at the blue knight. Befitting his title of Iron Fist, his clenched fist shone silver like steel. "Duck!" His punch broke the sound barrier as it headed toward the blue knight.

The knight took a slight step forward, and

Shlink

Rather than the roar and clash of great forces colliding that one might expect, they heard a sound similar to that of a deflating balloon.

"Huh?" Jason gave his arm, which was severed at the wrist, a wide-eyed look. Wh-what? His so-called Iron Fist rolled across the ice like a piece of rotten garbage. What the hell is this?!

The fear he felt at that moment overrode the pain he felt from his severed hand. H-how?

Rattle, rattle

Jason calmed his trembling legs and clenched his left fist. "Don't think you've beaten the Iron Fist yet, you monster!" His stigma of Taurus shone brilliantly, and a powerful surge of water flowed down his arm and poured toward the blue knight like a tidal wave.

-Krrrrrrrng! Craaaash!---

There was no sign of damage on the knight.

Cold silence filled the cave. The five candidates looked at each other and all turned to run at the same time.

"R-run!"

"I can't beat that!"

They ran without looking back, and Ohjin followed not far behind.

Its following. He turned to look and nervously bit his lips. Sure enough, the knight was chasing after them.

Fuck. He looked at the other candidates ahead of him and thought of how he could avoid the knights pursuit. Just buy me a bit of time. Right when he was about to shoot a wire toward the candidates in an attempt to catch up with them

Gahh, ahh! N-no way! Wh-why is such

He saw Namgung Hui, who had woken up, at the front of the cave

The five candidates shouted and ran toward Hui as if they didnt know hed already tried to run from the knight in blue armor.

"Namgung Hui? That's Namgung Hui, right?"

Awakener Namgung Hui! The black-ranked monster is over there!

Hui paled and looked at the five candidates. "D-don't tell me The monster in there? Oh, no, then"

"Mr. Namgung Hui?" The candidates seemed confused by Huis muttering.

"Wh-what happened to that monster?" Hui asked them in a trembling voice.

Its chasing after us!

Not that! Hui shouted, going blue in the face. "The monster's necklace! Does it still have it?"

The candidates looked at him like they couldnt understand what he was talking about.

"What?"

"Of course it was wearing a necklace."

"Don't all the monsters in here wear necklaces?"

Namgung Hui reached down and lifted a monster that looked like a gorilla from the floor without saying a word. They all noticed it was missing a necklace.

Why doesnt it have a necklace?

The candidates expressions stiffened.

-Thud, thud

The knight walked out of the cave and looked up into the clear sky with its dark-red eyes. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," it cried out as it lifted its rusty sword. "Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The cry resonated over the area, and monsters cried back from all over the snowy field as if in response.

Rather than just being from the snowy area, the monsters were roaring in unison all over the dungeon.

"Shhhhhh. The blue-tinted knights dark-red eyes burned violently, and it slowly raised its hand to grasp the black necklace hanging from its throat.

Crack!

The necklace fell to the floor and shattered.
