Kim Tae-hoon did not underestimate the Six Snakes. Even if he had dozens of powerful and significant relics, even if his body had already reached a level that transcended a human being, even if he had acquired the power of the dragon and countless monsters, Kim did not underestimate the Six Snakes.

It was not simply because his personality was so careful.

The Six Snakes was a force that wanted to rule the world in the era of monsters. In a world where civilization had collapsed, they had planted roots throughout the world and achieved what they wanted steadily.

Then, how could he look down on them? If he did, it would be too funny.

There was no reason to underestimate them, not at a single point. The fact was the same at this moment.

“Get out of here!”

As soon as the sword showers fell, the warriors of the Six Snake who were waiting to kill Hrungnir moved frantically. The embarrassment they felt was enormous. It would be strange if they did not panic when Kim himself made an unexpected sudden attack. But their movements during their surprise were in perfect order. Under the heavy rain of swords, someone made a quick dodge, and someone lifted a shield.

Clank! There were a sound of iron and a wind-splitting sound.

“Ugh!” A faint groan came through it. That was all. No one screamed noisily. Even the dying swallowed their last words before they died. It was evidence that the people gathered here were not a disorderly crowd, but well-trained, and able men who could smile in front of Hrungnir with the dark blue eyes.

“Don’t be inattentive! Our enemy is the dragon slayer Kim Tae-hoon! He’s the monster who killed the Dragon alone!”

As said before, Kim knew better than anyone else at this moment that they were not enemies to look down on. And he knew what to do to kill them.

Thud, Thud! That was why something fell to their feet when everyone was looking for Kim, who was flying in the sky, with their weapons sticking up against the shower of swords.

Phou-shou-shou-shou! The thing which fell like that immediately began to pour out a thick cloud of smoke.

‘A smoke bomb?’ It was nothing but a smoke bomb. Not one, but dozens of smoke bombs exploded, making everything a world full of smoke.

Everyone swallowed at the fact. The sound of swallowing was also proof that they were veteran warriors.

The smoke bombs restricted their vision and smell. Even if anyone could not tell how the stage was advantageous between more than a hundred warriors of the Six Snakes and only one, Kim Tae-hoon, there were those here who soon realized that. Their nightmare became reality too quickly and too easily.

“Ugh!” A scream was heard through the thick smoke, and a bloody smell revealed its presence clearly among the acrid stench of the smoke.

“There!”

“Don’t move rashly!”

Even in that situation, everyone remained calm. They knew better than anyone the power of the spears and swords in their hands. The spears and swords were powerful enough to tear, pierce, and cut the skin of monsters that could not be harmed by bullets.

If they swung such a weapon indiscreetly and attacked their colleagues, it would be a bigger misfortune.

“Ugh!” When a new scream burst out, everyone was patient. Instead, they set their five senses up to find Kim immediately and start fighting as soon as the smoke disappeared.

‘If the smoke disappears…’

‘We will kill him then.’

Even at the death of their colleagues and the coming death, they did not shake and waited for the right time.

Whoowoowoo! Someone’s huge breath blew away the smoke that filled the surroundings at once.

‘Finally!’ Of course, the warriors of the Six Snakes now flashed their eyes and opened their ears wide to find Kim. It was dozens of objects floating in the air that welcomed them. It was something similar but different from the smoke bomb that tormented them a little bit ago. ‘Ah.’

The flares, hidden in the smokescreen, started to explode as soon as the smoke was gone. First, the light burst, and then there was a shrill, ear-piercing sound.

“Argh!” The impact of the flares on the acute five senses was so intense that it was fatal. It would be better if a grenade exploded. Indeed, the physical defenses of these people and the relics they wore were powerful enough to withstand the power of a grenade. On the other hand, no matter how great a relic was, and no matter who had a strong physical ability, their eyes and ears were not as strong.

“Ugggh!” So, everyone started to stagger as if they were drunken, with their eyes closed tightly. It was a pain they had never experienced before. But swallowing them at this moment was not the pain that they had never been used to.

‘What attack is next…’

‘Dangerous!’

The fear of being in the defenseless condition in front of the monster Kim Tae-hoon devoured the warriors of the Six Snakes. In that fear, there was only one thing the warriors of the Six Snakes could do; they took as defensive a posture as possible, just as a turtle hid in its shell.

‘At least I have to save my life.’ It was a natural act that would be taken by any animal with a survival instinct.

The natural survival instinct that animals took was an opportunity for a hunter. It was an opportunity to predict the behavior of the prey and to pull the trigger firmly in accordance with the action. Of course, Kim pulled the trigger toward the warriors of the Six Snakes who took an extremely defensive posture.

Swish! The Kusanagi that could cut anything in this world painted a semicircle flash.

5.

Lin Siyi and Lin Yining, the twin sisters had always been winners. It has been true since the advent of the monsters. The two sisters fought against the monsters with their bare hands when all others ran away from the monster. Since then, the two sisters had never turned away from the monsters in front of them, and they had never thought about defeat. It was the same when the Six Snakes suffered hardships and adversity, when Japan collapsed, and when Taiwan collapsed. At that moment, Lin Siyi and Lin Yining sisters performed their given roles with Major Chinshan without a single failure.

‘The Kusanagi!’ The same was true when everyone became a turtle in front of the explosion of the flare. She never considered defeat. She had protected her eyes and ears just before the flare burst, and she waited for her chance. She waited for Kim Tae-hoon to take out his card first, and as soon as he pulled out the card called The Kusanagi, her mind drew a card to cope with it.

‘The Energy consumption of the Kusanagi is high.’

The Kusanagi was powerful. It was impossible to stop the Kusanagi with a few relics since it was beyond imagination. At the same time, it’s consumption was beyond imagination. The Kusanagi demanded a price so high that even an owner of S Energy rank could not use it more than once.

‘After he uses the Kusanagi, his power drops sharply for a while.’

Lin Siyi thought it as a chance. Because of that, she sent, -The Dragonslayer uses the Kusanagi! First, avoid it by any means!-

Her telepathy was passed on to her twin sister and the people around her, and those who received her telepathy waited in a situation that was invisible and unheard.

‘We’ll surely kill him now.’

Swish! Soon after, Kim’s sword, the Kusanagi slashed through a huge semicircular arc and cut everything that was caught in it. The world was cut in half like a sheet of paper.

Click! Kim put the Kusanagi back in the sheath. The flash disappeared, and for a moment silence replaced it.

Poohhwat! Then the cut-offs began to make a creepy sound as they started to come apart.

In that situation, the counterattack of the Six Snakes’ warriors began.

Dding! The beginning was the lute that Lin Siyi’s twin sister held.

As soon as she thrummed the strings of the lute, the dull eyes of the people around her began to glow golden, and the golden light brought back the focus to their eyes. At the same time, it stimulated the Energy in their guts.

“Ugh!”

“Ahh!”

Their eyes, which were tinged with a golden light, seemed to be filled with hostility and bloodthirstiness. There was no room for fear in such hostile and bloodthirsty eyes. Those who forgot their fear immediately rushed at Kim as he put the Kusanagi in its sheath and took a breath for a while.

‘It’s quantity, not quality. If we want to kill that monster, we have to press him down with quantity.’

In the meantime, Lin Siyi pulled out one of the two swords she had. It was a brightly shining Bronze Sword. It was a sword that was plain without useless ornamentation, but it was so beautiful in and of itself. After she put the sword on the ground, she shouted, “The Emperor commands, the military, carry out an attack!”

The moment the spell-like cry ended, the ground began to shake, and the soldiers and horses made of soil began to shoot up from the earth.

Thump! It took only a moment for an army of a thousand troops to be built. The army of one thousand that appeared like that moved after the warriors of the Six Snakes attacking Kim Tae-hoon.

Thump! Thump! Thump! The ground resonated loudly at the footsteps of the earthly soldiers and horses who rushed to line up for battle.

In front of the scene, Kim did not perform any special action.

After he put the Kusanagi back in its sheath, he breathed calmly and changed only his eyes in front of the enormous army that was rushing toward him. His black and shining eyes split in half. Opening his Draconian power, his right hand, covered with the scales of the dragon, pulled out a new sword to replace the Kusanagi.

At that time, the clouds that covered the sky retreated, and the sun that showed up began to shine on the sword that he pulled out.

The Dragon Light Sword began to shine brilliantly under the sun.

6.

John Gabriel had tried to stab a dagger into the Six Snakes, but he had never ignored their power. There was no way he could ignore it. It was not God, but the Six Snakes that made John Gabriel a new power in Europe, the top person among the influential people, and even the Emperor above the Pope, holding all the power of the Cardinals of the Vatican. Because of that, he could not understand what was happening in front of him.

‘What the hell…’ The warriors of the Six Snakes were being slaughtered. Not just anyone, but the warriors who the Six Snakes had selected, nurtured, and armed themselves!

‘This is nonsense…’

The massacre was being done by not a large army of tens of thousands, but only one. A single man was slaughtering the one hundred and seven warriors of the Six Snakes.

Clang! The end of the massacre was the battle between Lin Siyi and Kim Tae-hoon.

Clang! The Sword of Goujian, which could cut anything, and the Dragon Light Sword that could cut anything under the sun, hit with the sound of metal colliding. Of course, the sound did not last long.

Lin Siyi was definitely strong. All her stats were A rank, she had eaten countless monster stones and she could not be weak. But her strength could only struggle in front of Kim.

Clang! In the end, at the third collision, Lin Siyi was no longer able to receive Kim’s attack.

The Sword of Goujian endured the Dragon Light Sword, but her arm holding The Sword of Goujian was cut and hurled back, and the blackened left fist of Kim struck her chest in the gap.

Ppudeuk! Her ribs crumbled, and there was the sound of her chest caving in. At the sound, Lin Siyi shouted at Kim, throwing out a gout of blood and squeezed out her last strength. “???!!”

Boom! The sound of a bomb blasting were her last words. Of course, her last words did not leave much impression on Kim.

“Uhhh!” Rather, the last cry she uttered gave a great shock to Johann Gabriel, who was watching from far away.

“Huh-uck, Huh-uck!” A horrified sound broke out from John Gabriel’s mouth. It was not the sound of reason, but instinct.

‘I, I have to run away…’ It was the instinct that Kim’s next target was him, after leaving not a single survivor.

And as his instinct had warned him, Kim, who had killed all of them, stepped toward John Gabriel as soon as he confirmed that he no longer had any survivors left to kill.

Stomp, stomp, stomp… Kim left his footprints clearly on the ground covered with corpses and blood. His walk was not fast. It was slow enough to get him a breath of wind.

Nevertheless, John Gabriel could not escape from Kim. He just sat down on the ground and waited for Kim. When Kim stood in front of him, he said reflexively, “God…”

It was the only word he could say at this moment, the most desperate call of his life, when he had been looking for God for a lifetime. But God did not respond.

“My name is Kim Tae-hoon.” Instead, Kim Tae-hoon said, “I am the head of the monster hunting guild, the Mac Guild, now in Korea.”

Instead of answering, John Gabriel blinked his trembling eyes.

“I will kill the Giants and their leader, the Huge Giant,” Kim suggested to him.

Woo-oh-oh-oh! Then, as if waiting, the big cry of Hrungnir the Huge Giant flowed down from the sky.

The sound made Johann Gabriel tremble like an aspen leaf.

But Kim said without any tremor, looking at the shaking eyes of John Gabriel, “If you pay the price.”

It was the last notice. Instead of talking anymore, Kim wiped off the blood on his face and the blood that Lin Siyi had poured a while ago.

With that appearance, John Gabriel was able to recall one of the most perfect words to explain Kim. Devil!

“What’s the price?”

“The Vatican.”

And at this moment, John Gabriel made a deal with the devil.
