Chapter 34: Shadow (2)

Kargalgan sat restlessly on the throne. 'Why are we here? When we opened our eyes, a single order kept whispering in our heads.

...hunt down the humans!

We don't need any reasons. We must obey the order!'

"Go, cut them into pieces and offer their bloodied corpses to me."

"Is it a battle between the generals?" Jin-Woo smiled as he watched the fight between Iron and the High Orc that stood beside Kargalgan earlier.

Iron knocked his head against the High Orc and then crushed it with his axe.

On the other side, Igris fought with two High Orcs and won the battle.

"Looks like my generals are far more superior."

Iron gave Jin-Woo a thumbs up.

Jin-Woo narrowed his eyes as he continued to watch his shadow soldiers fought the monsters. His mana was consumed faster than he could recover with potions so if it were to be completely drained, his soldiers would all disappear simultaneously.

"There's no way... but how......" Kargalgan muttered in disbelief.

"We can't just sit here and watch! Let's join him!" A member of the hunters said.

"Hymn of agony."

"Hymn of frenzy."

"Hymn of blindness."

"The audience shouldn't intrude onto the stage. And I will no longer let you run your arrogant mouth in front of the great Kargalgan."

"Hymn of slumber."

"Hymn of lethargy."

"Hymn of blindness."

All of the hunters were affected by the curses but Jin-Woo retained standing proudly as he stared at the dungeon boss.

[Buff: Status effect has been removed due to the effect of 'immunity'.]

"What?!"

['Curses: Petrification' has disappeared.]

['Curses: Blindness' has disappeared.]

"How did you dispel the curses I casted?!"

"Don't you remember what I said earlier? I'm a bad matchup for you." Jin-Woo patted the dusts from his shoulder nonchalantly.

[Great spellcaster Kandiaru's blessing]
-permanent effect: longivity

All diseases, poisons and status effects are healed, and sleeping will explosively increase regeneration ability.

"Let me destroy that annoying that shield of yours."

Jinwoo's shadow magician formed a giant ball of fire and aimed it at Kargalgan.

'If it's a magician equipped with orb of avarice!'

[Item: Orb of Avarice]
Item class: A
Type: Magic Item

An orb created by hardening blood of high-rank demon, Vulcan, it will amplify magic effects to deal more damage.

Effect:
'Desire for destruction': Double magic damage.

"Hymn of protec..."

The shield that Kargalgan casted to protect him shattered into pieces by the fire ball and engulfed him in flame.
