Chapter: 1487

But the plan went awry.

Originally he tried to run away, but he detected people following him.

Because the ones following him were too fast, he was worried that he would end up leading them to the Blade God and Hwang-heol.

So he stopped and tried to gain some time, but the battle lasted over half an hour.

“Pant.... Pant...”

In front of him, he saw two men who looked ragged.

The man with the mask on had half his mask broken and black soot all over him, Marakim.

His clothes were half-burned because of the flames, and were a mess.

Despite that, Marakim was taking harsh breaths and stared at him with distressed eyes, probably because of the lack of oxygen due to the flames.

“Haa... haaa...”

On his left side was Dan Jucheon, wearing golden armor on his upper body, the armor which came from the Ice Cold staff, and it was protecting his body.

He was in better condition as the armor had the opposite attribute to the flames, yet he looked tired as he ended up consuming a lot of energy.

[Great Guardian. That man is a monster.]

Dan Jucheon shook his head as he sent the message.

While chasing the Blade God, they ended up stopping this one and began to fight with him who could use flames.

This person seemed to be slightly above them.

However, the gap in their internal energy was too large.

[He must have absorbed the core of some spirit beast.]

Unlike them, who were on the verge of exhaustion while fighting, the enemy who was surrounded by the flames was still strong.

[Like the Qilin.]

[Have you seen it?]

Marakim had seen Ran-yeong, so he guessed that this young one had absorbed the blood of the Flame Qilin or the core itself.

He was indeed a formidable opponent, but the energy of the spirit beast was what made it difficult for them to deal with the young man.

Even though the young man was stabbed and cut constantly, he kept regenerating.

A true monster.

[We will have to cut his head...]

At the end of the battle, they concluded that they would have to decapitate the opponent to kill him.

But that wasn’t an easy task.

Decapitating the monster would be tough with the defense it had.

[If the fight lasts longer, we will be at a disadvantage.]
