Chapter 112: Clench Your Teeth

Chapter 112: Clench Your Teeth

Antares was shocked by the sudden appearance of Il-hwan then he looked at the place he saw him before and he saw the same Il-hwan who was also in front of him smiling at him as his body turned into light particles.

'So that was a clone?' Antares thought his hands weren't healed yet.

Il-hwan's hands held the short swords that were covered in a golden glow and he smashed them right into Antares's lower jaw.

BAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG*

Antares felt something hit his chin with the full force moving his face up and throwing his aim off.

TSSSSSSS*

The breath moved to burn the air itself and missed the ice dragon instead it went towards the barrier.

BANG* BOOOOOOOOOOM*

CRACK* CRACK* CRACK* CRACK* CRACK*

The breath attack hit the barrier deepening the cracks further as small fragments of the second barrier fell.

'It was a risky gamble but in case there was more than one barrier I kept uncle and Jin-ah as back-ups,' Queresha thought as she still let her guard down if there was a third Barrier above that. As she thought that her gaze went to the sword in her hands as she gripped the handle tightly.

'Damn it,' Antares was livid that he has been playing on Queresha's beat this whole time.

BANG* SHATTER*

The Ice Dragon hit the barrier with full force making a hole in the barrier and breaking through it as its name intended, The shattered fragment fell connecting the mana inside and outside. Queresha was relieved that there was no third Barrier in place.

"Ahjussi Now," Jin-ah said as she fell to the ground breathing heavily because she lost all strength in her body because of Mana exhaustion. Her body ached but she was used to it as whenever she trained with Haru and the others she would always end up like this but that didn't mean it didn't hurt her, the pain was enormous but she gritted her teeth through it.

'I'll have Haru spoil me after this,' Jin-ah thought as she went through the pain in her body.

Jin-Chul who was standing just behind Jin-ah pressed the call button immediately.

'I can't believe that our survival depends on one phone call this takes the concept of 'Phone a Friend' to another fucking level, if this doesn't connect then...' Jin-Chul's hands were shaking and the phone connected.

Antares kicked Il-hwan who crossed his short swords in front of him to block the attack but he was launched away in the air. Il-hwan's hands were broken but his grip on the short sword didn't loosen a bit.

'I told you to clench your teeth, didn't I? But I don't think that would've helped either,' Queresha shrugged.

BAAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG* BOOOOOOOOM*

Antares was blown away with a massive shockwave that made the whole of Seoul tremble breaking every window glass and cracking many buildings and streets over the city.

'It is good that there was a cushion here or I might have destroyed Seoul in its entirety, but...' Haru thought as he looked at Queresha whose life force was getting weaker.

.....

Everyone was shocked when they saw the light orange comet fall from above as the Barrier was shattered with ease.

After the dust cloud settled down the hunters saw the person they all wished to see. It was the lone World Rank Hunter Tsugikuni Haru.

"Was I late?" Haru asked Queresha.

"No it was the perfect timing My Lord," Queresha said as her body felt weak but she still smiled when she saw the familiar face of Haru who was glowing in light Orange Mana (Chakra).

"Looks like I was late," Haru said while he kneeled bringing his face to her level, and caressed Queresha's face with his hand causing her eyes to widen but after a bit, her surprised expression turned into a beautiful smile.

"I can't hide anything from My Lord after all," Queresha said as she felt the warmth transmitted to her from his hand stabilizing her condition.

"We'll talk about this later," Haru said as he stood up after looking at the sword in queresha's hand as she nodded.

Haru looked at Antares who stood up with both of his arms healed along with the dent he left on his face.

[This is certainly a surprise,] Antares said as he laughed as he has already recovered from the injuries. This showed how terrifying his regeneration was.

"I'll be back in a bit," Haru said to Queresha and Jin-ah who nodded.

[So you have the gall to ignore me like this huh, you are too arrogant, looks like I expected too much from a human after all.] Antares said with a mocking look.

"Let's get some fresh air shall we," Haru's voice was heard beside Antares which caused him to look at the hand which was on his shoulder.

'When di-' Antares wasn't even able to react as the felt that space folded and the next second he was in the middle of a desert.

Antares looked at Haru after observing his surroundings.
