The finals began amid tremendous cheers and tension.
The one who acted first there was none other than Moon Sua.
Shwaaa!
The moment Moon Sua closed her eyes, a silver aura swirled around her.
The silver aura raging like a storm.
That mysterious energy rose to the sky and changed into a round shape.
It was none other than a ‘moon.’
“It’s the moon! The moon!”
“Team Leader Moon Sua has cast her skill!”
“Hahaha! Seo Juwon, you’re dead, man! Surrender now!”
“Team Leader Moon Sua! Fighting!”
People shouted hot cheers while looking at the silver moon.
I also looked at the moon with its mysterious atmosphere.
The moon floating in the sky of the super-large arena.
It was truly amazing even seeing it again.
But the truly surprising part started now.
“……”
Moon Sua with her face so fair.
She let out a roar like that of a beast.
It wasn’t just the roar.
She was transforming into an appearance befitting the beast-like roar.
“Grrrr……!”
Her snout protruded sharply with a growl, and her whole body began to be covered in black fur.
Even her eyes turned red, and two ears grew on her head.
And the most surprising was her height.
Moon Sua’s height, which was originally only 160cm.
But after the transformation began, Moon Sua’s height started to grow rapidly.
And the moment the transformation was completed in an instant.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Moon Sua had turned into a 10m tall ‘werewolf.’
That was the appearance of Moon Sua, the transformation-type mage.
“Team Leader Moon Sua turned into a werewolf!”
“Hahaha! The goddess-like Team Leader Moon Sua turning into a werewolf! What a twist, huh?”
“It doesn’t match her pretty face, but who cares! As long as she’s strong!”
“Team Leader Moon Sua fighting! Crush that Seo Juwon in one go!”
People showed enthusiastic reactions while looking at Moon Sua transformed into a werewolf.
It was natural.
Moon Sua had risen to the position of the strongest in the Silver attack squad with that werewolf ability, and she had crushed all competitors in the Myth Festival too.
Just looking is terrifying.
I felt my heart pounding while looking at the giant-like werewolf.
It was really scary even when I saw it from outside the arena, but seeing it right in front of me was terror itself.
To think that a woman with a gentle personality like Moon Sua has the ability to turn into a werewolf.
It was hard to believe even seeing it with my own eyes.
Don’t get intimidated.
I’m a finalist too.
I steadied my mind while looking at the werewolf’s roar.
Then I grabbed bones from my bosom and scattered them onto the arena.
Clatter! Clatter!
Ten Skeleton Soldiers summoned in an instant.
The blue-tinged skeletons looked up at the werewolf while holding bone swords.
Go.
The Skeleton Soldiers that received my command started charging with clatters.
In the spars so far, I had won with just five Skeleton Soldiers.
For the finals, specially ten.
I wanted to end it with this force if possible.
The moment the blue bones approached the werewolf like that.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Moon Sua, turned into a werewolf, swung her massive arm.
At that moment.
Kwajangchang!
The blue bones were smashed in one go and scattered.
The blue bones had broken like straws from one gesture of the werewolf’s hand.
This can’t be…….”
The blue bone fragments rolling on the arena floor.
I was shocked as the blue bones that had boldly charged just moments ago were all smashed.
Because I didn’t know Moon Sua was this strong.
But unlike me who was shocked, the audience was extremely excited.
“Puhaha! Nice!”
“Wow, she blew away those strong blue bones in one hit?”
“Team Leader Moon Sua nice! At this rate, crush Seo Juwon too!”
“See that, Seo Juwon? This is our Team Leader Moon Sua!”
“Moon Sua is amazing. Smashing those sturdy blue bones in one hit. The Gold attack squad level talk wasn’t for nothing.”
“The winner of this Myth Festival is definitely Team Leader Moon Sua!”
The audience cheered as she smashed the blue bones that had shown overwhelming force throughout the Myth Festival in one go.
On the other hand, the cheering side for me, including the Nova Team, became mute.
They seemed to have lost words at Moon Sua’s wondrous power.
Don’t make me laugh. It’s just starting.
I gritted my teeth and threw the bones.
Dozens of bones thrown on the arena floor.
Clatter! Clatter!
They turned into a skeleton army in an instant.
The real fight was starting now.
The VIP seats.
The executives watching the finals of the Myth Festival there had mixed expressions of joy and sorrow.
Naturally, those who were happy were the attack captains who expected Moon Sua’s victory.
“Hahaha, as expected of Team Leader Moon Sua. Truly overwhelming.”
“I know, right. Hunter Seo Juwon is trying his best, but he can’t use his strength.”
“I thought they would be somewhat even, but it’s a bit anticlimactic. Such an overwhelming match.”
“This is to the point where we could end the spar here. Don’t you think?”
The attack captains said with content smiles on their lips.
They felt good seeing Moon Sua dominate throughout the finals.
They didn’t have any ill feelings toward Seo Juwon in particular.
They just felt good because the hunter they picked was close to winning.
“……”
On the other hand, Guild Master Shin Daeho, who predicted Seo Juwon’s victory, didn’t look so good.
He had expected the opponent Moon Sua to be strong.
But she was showing such overwhelming power that he was honestly a bit flustered.
Was my prediction wrong?
Shin Daeho had predicted Seo Juwon’s victory.
Even though the vice guild master and attack captains all predicted Moon Sua’s victory, he stubbornly predicted Seo Juwon’s victory.
But the situation was turning too seriously.
Because Seo Juwon’s skeletons couldn’t exert any power.
Is Team Leader Moon Sua strong, or are Hunter Seo Juwon’s skeletons weak? I can’t tell.
Shin Daeho looked down at the arena with a furrowed brow.
Seo Juwon was continuously sending skeleton armies.
Blue bones surging like a blue wave.
The skeletons armed with bone swords and magic advanced to take down the werewolf Moon Sua.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
But every time the werewolf Moon Sua swung her arm, the blue bones burst out.
Bodies crushed, heads flying off, blue bones disassembled to the point where reassembly was impossible.
Although they somehow sieged to take down the werewolf Moon Sua, and even cast Charged Bolt while dying, it posed no threat to Moon Sua.
The 4-element magic of the skeleton mages didn’t work either.
To think Bone Explosion wouldn’t work well either.
What surprised him most was that the skeletons’ Bone Explosion didn’t work well.
The ‘Bone Explosion’ that could be seen as the necromancer’s main skill.
Seo Juwon was also casting it indiscriminately to corner Moon Sua, but it didn’t work on Moon Sua.
First, Moon Sua’s fluffy fur skin was too tough, and she quickly evaded when trying to cast Bone Explosion.
Hunter Seo Juwon, what are you planning? Are you going to lose helplessly like this?
Shin Daeho looked at Seo Juwon’s face, who was summoning blue bones like crazy.
It was fine if his prediction was wrong.
The vice guild master or attack captains would be triumphant, but he could endure that.
But…….
The potential that was the reason he took Seo Juwon to the Night of Transcendents event.
That potential emitting an unknown specialness.
It was too regrettable to lose helplessly without blooming that potential even once.
As the person who pushed Seo Juwon, as the guild master, and as a hunter senior.
I believe, Hunter Seo Juwon. I believe you’ll show something.
Shin Daeho looked down at Seo Juwon’s slightly hardened face and thought over and over.
That he believes in Seo Juwon.
While numerous people’s joys and sorrows diverged like that, and the stands heated up, the finals of the Myth Festival continued.
This can’t be…….!
My heart looking forward was dyed with despair.
It couldn’t be helped.
The blue bones that had always performed tremendously.
The blue bones that swept away monsters instead of the Nova Team members every time we went to a gate.
The blue bones that knocked down prominent competitors every time in the Myth Festival.
Because they were being utterly smashed by the werewolf Moon Sua.
Kwakwaaang! Kwaang! Kwagwaaang!
Of course, the skeleton army was fighting hard too.
The Skeleton Soldiers advanced without sparing their lives and swung bone swords, and the skeleton mages cast magic from the rear.
On top of that, they activated the Charged Bolt from the Thunder Wolf Bracelet, and also aimed for self-destruction with Bone Explosion.
None of it works…….”
But all attacks came to naught.
First, the skeletons were smashed before even approaching the werewolf Moon Sua, and Charged Bolt couldn’t pierce the thick hide.
Even the three additional damage sets from the Blood Demon’s Blade didn’t work properly.
To think Bone Explosion wouldn’t work either.
But the most shocking was that Bone Explosion didn’t work.
Bone Explosion, boasting the highest firepower among my skills.
I was casting it indiscriminately, but it didn’t work at all.
First, it was hard to hit directly because Moon Sua dodged the Bone Explosion here and there, and even when I barely hit, it couldn’t cause significant damage.
Just minor scratches.
At this rate, it’ll just be a war of attrition.
I poured mana to continuously send skeletons.
To somehow create a gap using numerical superiority.
But I couldn’t handle Moon Sua, who was strong and fast on top of that.
Kwajik! Pasusuk! Kwagwaaang! Ppagak!
Skeletons charged and repeated being crushed by the werewolf.
The werewolf slaughtering skeletons by swinging long arms, stomping with heavy feet, and ramming with the body.
It was unimaginable that the original body of that thing was the gentle Moon Sua.
“Good job, Moon Sua! Keep smashing!”
“How about it, Seo Juwon! How’s our Team Leader Moon Sua’s power!”
“Puhahaha! I thought he was a pretty strong necromancer, but he’s nothing?”
“No matter how strong a necromancer is. A necromancer is just a necromancer!”
“Moon Sua fighting! Quickly win and come up to the Gold attack squad!”
“Moon Sua! Moon Sua! Moon Sua!”
The more my skeletons were destroyed, the louder the cheers of the Myth Guild members grew.
Yeah.
It’s despairing from my position, but it must be so fun for them.
The blue bones they thought were quite strong are being shredded as they advance, so how refreshing and fun it must be.
But from my position, it was hell.
Shuuuuu…….”
The once noisy arena became quiet.
The arena where thick smoke and dust scattered left and right.
Not a single skeleton was standing there.
All that was there was the giant werewolf and piles of blue bones.
“Hahaha, it’s over! Seo Juwon is done!”
“The skeletons he kept pouring out seem to be at an end now?”
“Seo Juwon! Surrender now! You’re done!”
“The winner of this Myth Festival is Team Leader Moon Sua!”
“Team Leader Moon Sua! Congratulations! Congrats on the win!”
The stands started to stir.
They seemed to think the match was already over.
“Grrrr……!”
Even the werewolf Moon Sua growled and slowly advanced toward me.
The advance shaking the arena floor with thuds seemed to tell me to surrender.
It’s not over yet.
But I hadn’t given up yet.
Though close to defeat, I hadn’t lost yet.
Because I still had my last card left.
Swish.
I took out one bone from my bosom.
The bones I prepared over 100 of now had only one left.
And this was enough.
Pinggeureureu!
The bone thrown to the arena rotated quickly.
Before it fell to the floor, I quietly shouted.
“Come out, Skeleton Golem.”
The name of the last remaining summon.
