Then everyone who is watching the broadcast saw how the Black Ant punch Sung Jin-Woo in his cheek and produce shockwave while destroying the ground beneath their feet.
"Weak... You are not the King either..."
With that kind of power and how they heard the Black Ant saying something like that, made some of the people, praying, sighing, gave up that the new S-Rank Hunter will be like the others too but only to be shocked after the dust subsides and show that Sung Jin-Woo is still standing on his place and realized why the Black Ant shut up its mouth.
Sung Jin-Woo can be seen spitting blood then clenches his right fist as something is coming from his left hand forcing the Black Ant to kneel on its two knees to meet his fist that really connected to its face making the Black Ant fly over away from its standing.
"Hoo, Mana, Speed and now Strength, isn't he an all-rounder Hunter then?" Shyrveen is stunned for how much the young man to have that kind of power. 'He is like me, or specifically, like those people from God's Sanctuary... Won't stop growing... For that reason... That will put him for the highest ranking of National Level Hunters soon...'
"Master Baek, Master Choi... Are you absolutely sure that Hunter Sung Jin-Woo is a Mage-Type?..." It can be heard by everyone that watching the screen for Master Ma asking about it.
"Even I have a hard time believing that as well..." Which is added by Master Baek.
While Shyrveen simply looked back again at the Association Chairman. "Seonsaengnim..."
"I know it now! So stop that kind of staring at me. Psh..." Go Gun-Hee can only add this to his embarrassment for not doing the reexamination to the last test, add that he was there personally.
Then they heard the scream from the Black Ant that is standing up and sprinted towards Sung Jin-Woo that made the few bouts of the two, started.
"... What is this? A boxing match with give and take fists from each other?... But it seems the raid is successful, Chairman."
"How you can tell?"
"That exoskeleton is starting to have cracks from the fists of Jin-Woo. Telling us that he is stronger than that 'Genius'."
Then they saw how the two fists meet and only to overwhelmed the Black Ant and stop in its track but Sung Jin-Woo didn't give it a time to recovered and punch again its face. But after his fist connected, Sung Jin-Woo can be seen moving back a few steps away from the Black Ant, while on his one knee.
There's a wound on his face while showing some purple nerves on the surface.
"How unfortunate, Human." Said by the Black Ant that walked slowly towards Sung Jin-Woo. "Die!"
"Poison!?" Go Gun-Hee shouted in anger after realizing what happened. "That insect-!" But only to be interrupted by seeing Sung Jin-Woo recovering in a fast manner. "Healing!? Sung Jin-Woo has healing skills too?"
"... No... It's better to say immunity. And a higher one."
The three people inside the now are looking at Shyrveen while asking in a silent manner.
"If it's a healing skill, Hunter Cha Hae-In should be already conscious and standing on her own feet... But seeing it activated on its own, it means it's like a passive ability. And why I can say it's a higher one? We're talking about the 'Genius' here, the potent of their properties is much higher than their superior and Sung Jin-Woo recovered within the same minute after he was poisoned."
"... Ah..."
Sung Jin-Woo caught the arm of the Black Ant for it to be shocked and can't respond to another fist from him. 'I thought it was getting strangely happy. I guess it was because of the poison...' He thought while staring at the Black Ant that clutching its head after getting up from the ground and he continued his thoughts. 'I can perceive it's feeling... This is started when I met Tusk?... And it's getting nervous for sure... Is this the power of 'Sense' stats too?' He dashed and jump into the air and stretches his legs. 'However, I am too... For Hunter Cha Hae-In... I have to end this soon.' Then bring down his legs aimed to kill the Black Ant once and for all.
But only to disappear and hit the ground, destroying everything around him.
"Where did it go!?"
"I-It disappeared!"
Shouted by Master Baek and Choi as they are watching everything.
'... So, the real battle will start now? That 'Genius' disappeared on my sight again... And so I'll expect for Jin-Woo too... Since I can go to God's Sanctuary. I need to get stronger faster too... I'll start to hunt Primitive once I get back and stay there for 21 days...' Shyrveen changed his plans again after seeing the powers of Sung Jin-Woo on the screen. Even though he can't feel the magical presence of the two individuals, he can calculate how strong it is, even though not accurate.
Sung Jin-Woo raised his head to glare at the flying bug that looking down at him. 'How convenient... And another feeling happy again?...' Then he saw how the Black Ant getting smaller and somehow got a gist of what the bug is thinking. 'Speed it is?'
The Black Ant dive down and aim to kill Sung Jin-Woo but only to see he disappeared too and feel the human appeared on its left side with daggers that in a slashing motion towards its neck.
Sung Jin-Woo was blocked and was forced to back away from pushing him away from the Black Ant but didn't stop his assault and force his mana on his leg and appeared again to its side.
'I can't see them and only sparks... Do I need Mutant Geno to see them? Or maybe Sacred-Blood Geno for the surety to catch up with them?...' Shyrveen thought this while watching seriously at the screen but he doesn't know and didn't realize it yet, that there's something inside his heart, a certain emotion is trying to be lit up again, trying to be reborn again...
The Black Ant is already having a hard time fighting the human with speed while analyzing him too. 'He's not only matching my speed... He's even getting faster... How is this possible!?'
While for Sung Jin-Woo, he's thinking. 'He's about the level of the Demon King, or maybe stronger. However, I have a better weapon and stronger now after defeating the Demon King.' Then notice something on the body of the Black Ant. 'Without a doubt, his exoskeleton has cracked now, noticeable and wider... I can finish this!'
Then he moves faster, slash faster, and stabs faster. With overwhelming the Black Ant to scream since it cannot defend and deflect the attacks of the human. 'Now!' Sung Jin-Woo found an opening.
[Skill: Vital Stab has been activated.]
And aim for its body and stabs multiple times that the Black Ant can't defend against it. Letting his skill to evolve.
[Skill: Vital Stab has been upgraded to its final form. 'Mutilate'.]
[Mutilate Level Max]
'Upgrade... Mutilate?' Sung Jun-Woo was stunned after seeing the system alert that gave time for the Black Ant to get away from him but only. "Where do you think you're going?..." He said and lunged forward two steps as soon the Black Ant took another step back.
[Skill: Mutilate has been activated.]
And started to assault the Black Ant again into a helpless situation that even severing its one arm from its body but doing so, it retaliates with its left arm and used all its power to hit Sung Jin-Woo. But was dodge by him after moving away from it.
The Black Ant stumbles forwards and in that moment that it decided to abandon both pride and vengeance. Then turn around, flaps its wings to get away but Sung Jin-Woo, was not about to allow its adversary to escape. Using his skill 'Dominator's Touch' to propel himself to the air to pursuit the Black Ant and swiftly sliced its one wing.
Only for the Black Ant to scream and fell down on the ground. However, in its mind is thinking fast for how to escape in this impending crisis that slowly coming to it. 'Power, Poison, and Speed, none of them were effective against this human... Is there nothing I can best him with!?...' With desperation in the midst of the crisis for the Black Ant, it found one. 'Numbers...' And it scream.
"Th-that scream!"
"He's calling for reinforcement!"
And then everyone in the world that watching the broadcast see how the rest of the ant, swarms to the only entrance to the chamber blocking the escape for the Hunters and filling the screen for the viewers.
"How's that, human?..." The Black Ant asked smugly Sung Jin-Woo with confidence again but only to stunned after seeing Sung Jin-Woo grins.
'This is war.' Shyrveen can only think one thing after seeing that smile on the face of Sung jin-Woo. 'Hee...' That infected him and smiled for the first time after ten years, the same smile of Sung Jin-Woo. But Shyrveen still not realizing about it, that the second emotion was lit up after ten years of that sin. And that emotion can be seen in his eyes that staring at the screen...
But the fires of the two emotions in his heart are still small that will be blow off by a single sneeze of a baby...
"... Come forth."
Sung Jin-Woo beckoned his army of shadows from the stygian abyss that was already starting to congeal in a vast pools on the cavern floor. His domain skill is still in effect and once the army has risen, the full brunt of the shadow army charged to meet the advancing ant army without hesitation.
A harsh discordant mixture of sounds from the war reverberated against the cavern walls. It wasn't long before the figures of the ant army from the Hunter's and viewer's perspective to fall apart.
Sung Jin-Woo was watching the battle for some time and decided to give the Orb of Avarice to Tusk and said. "Only the ants. If your flames singe so much as a hair on any of the Hunters, don't expect to be summoned again."
The silent orc nodded in affirmation and started to use its own skill.
While for Shyrveen, that thing didn't escape from his eyes and glanced at his own shadow. 'They can understand human speech too, huh?... If you can really be included in God's Sanctuary... Stay where you are or else it will be bad for Sung Jin-Woo to lose one summon because of me, or specifically, to the hands of those Non-Evolvers that soon will maxed out their Geno Points before going to the second phase...'
Then Shyrveen saw how this 'Tusk' gets bigger and breathes out fire, which makes the phrase of 'all hell broke loose' for the ants to be a reality. And he search for the 'Genius' that soon he found on the screen quivering and blurted out. "It can feel fear and now thinking how to escape..."
Only to be heard by the other three people inside the room and stared at the screen while praying that Sung Jin-Woo can kill the Black Ant before it can escape, that will finally end the tragedy on the island...
The Black Ant can't stop denying what it seeing. 'But why?... I was born to slaughter the strong!... But I'm no match for him...' It shuddered and turn away and use the healing skill from Min Byung-Gu and flies away from its oppressor. 'Far away! I must get away from that human!' Then he saw the tunnel to the outside. 'Just a little bit more!...' But only to feel an overwhelming force that flattened him onto the ground, exerting effort as it tries in vain to budge even a little bit.
Everyone who can see how the Black Ant was helpless on the ground while screaming, screeching that at the same time, sticky and blue-green fluid from it spattered in all directions as it is slowly pulverizing on the ground by the unknown force.
'So, he has that kind of power. Isn't that convenient if I can use such a thing inside God's Sanctuary?... And that power was used like a flyswatter to that 'Genius' by Jin-Woo...' Shyrveen grins as he said it in his mind.
While Sung Jin-Woo is quickly closing the distance. 'Can't let you slip away.' For him, this magical monster is so strong that he wants it to be his shadow soldier. He locked eye to eye with the half-buried head of the Black Ant and he can sense that it's terrified of him.
'Vital Sta- No, Mutilate.'
As dozens of simultaneously strikes showered the back of the hapless Black Ant. It became an experience point for Sung Jin-Woo, as the system notification popped up for him.
[You have killed an enemy.]
[You have leveled up!]
[You have leveled up!]
'Nice! That will make my level up to 100 now.' Sung Jin-Woo was elated after leveling twice for how many ants he killed. But his joy and excitement was cut short...
