I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 130: Wrath: Join the Battle

Ji-woo turned his gaze to Dal-soo, letting the Werewolf out of his reach.

Dal-soo was digesting the scene before his eyes. First, all the hunters were falling with their knees and hands to the ground. Next, there was not a single white wolf in sight. And just now, the Werewolf who was supposed to be the Dungeon Owner escaped effortlessly.

What kind of situation was that?

Dal-soo looked at Ji-woo in confusion. He wanted to come closer and ask what was happening. However, his body suddenly reacted, not wanting to go near it. To be precise, his Mana was in chaos. He then swallowed hard, not knowing what to do.

Ji-woo acted nonchalantly and pulled his Aura of Fear back. All the hunters present were finally able to move their bodies and shake off the fear haunting their minds.

Dal-soo felt that the anxiety was gone, rushed over, and asked what the situation was. Unfortunately, before he could get an explanation, Chairman Yu immediately rushed over to ask him to chase the Werewolf together. It was for the mess to quickly get resolved.

Chairman Yu had a thousand questions he wanted to ask about Ji-woo’s presence. However, he put all that aside because the more important thing right now was to kill the Dungeon Owner and close the Red Gate.

Meanwhile, the low-ranking hunters subconsciously took a step back from Ji-woo. Some of them planned to join the Werewolf chase, while the rest didn’t have the guts to do anything. Those hunters thought it unwise to do anything without Ji-woo’s permission.

And sure enough, the Aura of Fear came back into their minds and started to make their bodies seem to lose control.

“With whose permission can you do whatever you want? Just because I let you stand doesn’t mean your lives are back in your hands.”

Chairman Yu and Dal-soo immediately fell to their knees as soon as Ji-woo finished speaking.

“I need Mr. Dal-soo to come with me. The others can get out of here.”

Ji-woo didn’t care about anything other than his family. He knew Dal-soo was a true healer. So, he intended to heal his mother, who had fainted and seemed heavily injured outside the blockade.

Dal-soo managed to stand with his hands on his knees. The Aura of Fear this time was not as oppressive and burdensome as before. “Wh-what f-for?!” He answered with difficulty.

Chairman Yu also finally managed to stand up after struggling with all his might. “I-I don’t know w-who you are. But, we have to go after that c-creature. We can’t let this d-destruction continue.”

Ji-woo narrowed his eyes. It was not that he didn’t understand Chairman Yu’s intentions. But, since he knew the situation very well, he let the others go and only told Dal-soo to stay. Right now, he was in a state of tension between letting out his anger or thinking logically.

He walked over to Dal-soo and Chairman Yu. Without realizing it, the Mana of the two S-rank hunters became violently turbulent.

“Heal my mother outside first.” He demanded Dal-soo while pointing at the exit with the Shadow Blade. He also cast away his Aura of Fear.

Chairman Yu, who had control over his body again, wanted to vent his anger. But, he immediately got stopped by Dal-soo.

“Hyung~nim, let me stay here. You can chase the Werewolf with the other hunters. I’ll come as soon as possible. You don’t have to worry.”

“But!”

“Hyung, if you stay here any longer, that Werewolf will go far from here and cause the Red Gate to last long enough to let out thousands of creatures.

“I’m sure you don’t want that to happen.”

Chairman Yu bit his lip. He knows he’s wasted a lot of time trying to chase the Werewolf with Dal-soo.

He wanted to kill the creature as quickly as possible. But, it hindered what he wanted.

Dal-soo then nodded his head, signaling for Ji-woo to lead the way to Elijah’s.

Suddenly, hundreds of white wolves came flocking violently towards the exit. All the low-ranked hunters were shocked and immediately prepared to fight.

Chairman Yu also clenched his teeth at that. It meant the Werewolf chase would get delayed again. Dal-soo also stopped in his tracks and looked back at the crowd of white wolves.

“Go. Just outside the exit, you will find civilians who have not yet left for the evacuation site.

“And all of you, get out of here and go after the Werewolf.”

Ji-woo walked in front of the low-ranking hunters and Chairman Yu. He stood with his back to everyone and faced the beasts’ attacks head-on. He couldn’t use the Aura of Fear because it would also have an impact on the hunters.

Chairman Yu understood what Ji-woo meant. He also didn’t need to worry if Ji-woo wanted to intervene because it had got proven before that dozens of white wolves got slaughtered in a few seconds. He swiftly left and ran in the direction the Werewolf was fleeing.

On the other hand, the low-ranked hunters were still confused and didn’t move anywhere.

Ji-woo then shouted along with the first swing to kill the leading white wolf with the Diffusal Blade.

“Go! Now!”

At that instant, the low-ranked hunters gasped and rushed to the direction Chairman Yu left. Ji-woo’s scream and the slash that crushed the beast’s head were enough of an alarm to tell them to move their bodies immediately.

Ji-woo could finally vent his frustration freely and without any more burden on his shoulders. He then roared and was able to stop all the white wolves’ movements for a moment.

He then moved nimbly with his two short swords while slaughtering the beasts mercilessly. When one white wolf died, the next one would follow without pause.

The Diffusal Blade and Shadow Blade were like slaying weapons bathed in the blood of the beasts. And the person who used it was like a bloodthirsty demon.

Meanwhile, on the outside, when Dal-soo opened the door, the police and soldiers recognized him immediately. It made things easier. He immediately prioritized Elijah, who was unconscious there.

He healed Elijah casually as the injuries sustained were not life-threatening. He also watched the other civilians, checking if anyone had injuries and needed healing after Elijah.

While he was there, he could feel the massive Mana dissipate drastically in no time. He was involuntarily amazed by that. Keep in mind that those beasts were high-grade creatures. Which meant, even though S-rank hunters were still stronger than them, killing hundreds in a matter of minutes was impossible.

Ji-woo, who completed the task, was already within the expectation. But, Dal-soo still found it fascinating. He felt as if the Portal Gate was no big deal. And with Ji-woo’s presence, South Korea would no longer be in danger. Of course, he believed the death toll from both the hunters and the civilians would exceedingly get reduced if coupled with their Apex-ranked hunter.

“It’s finished?”

Ji-woo’s voice woke Dal-soo, who was in a trance while healing Elijah. However, for the police and soldiers there, the speech gave a sense of reassurance. Regardless, they didn’t know whether the monsters were still alive and causing chaos or not in the isolation zone.

“O-Oppa!?”

“Um, it’s me. How is Eomma?”

Ji-won was still nervous about confronting Ji-woo, even though her older brother’s appearance wasn’t all that scary.

Ji-woo had previously cleaned his clothes from the blood of the beasts, but unfortunately, it wasn’t immaculate. At least, he looked decent enough and didn’t terrify everyone there.

“She’s fine. She’ll be conscious in a few moments. And I checked the other civilians, and no one was seriously injured. It’s best if they all get escorted to the evacuation site. Even though there are no S-rank hunters on guard, the security is pretty tight there. “

Ji-woo took a deep breath. He knew what Dal-soo just said was true. He wanted to go with them to the evacuation site and leave the Seoul Red Gate matter behind.

“Go inside again. There are two hunters you need to heal.”

Dal-soo nodded in agreement with the request. However, he did not immediately go inside to attend to his duties. Instead, he begged Ji-woo for help.

“Ji-woo~si, can you lend the hunters your power?”

Ji-woo heard Dal-soo’s plea. But, he ignored it because he wanted to be with his family. Out of nowhere, his clothes got tugged by Ji-won.

“O-Oppa, y-you can help them. I will accompany Eomma later. T-They seems to be short of officers.”

This time, Ji-won’s plea left Ji-woo speechless. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Dal-soo with slight irritation.

Surprisingly, Dal-soo got very nervous because of Ji-woo’s gaze.

“They don’t need me. They can handle this on their own.”

“B-But, who knows, with Oppa’s presence, the catastrophe in Mapo district can disappear, and we can go home.”

Ji-woo took a quick breath and couldn’t help but stay in the isolation zone while his family would get taken to the evacuation site. He walked towards the door with Dal-soo. He then spoke in a low tone.

“I warn you. If you ask anything in front of my family again, I won’t hesitate to wreck your neck. And you’d better give them tight security. Otherwise, I don’t mind being an enemy the hunters must kill.”

Ji-woo’s words sent chills down Dal-soo’s spine.
