Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World-Chapter 70

Queen of Blood Circer (3)

The Blood Circer Queen was on the verge of death.

Ryu Han-bin’s attack was so powerful that the Queen’s lower body completely disappeared, leaving only her upper body intact and falling to the floor as she groaned miserably.

“Ahhhhhh…….”

She showed no signs of recovery.

As the Guideline explained, Aura could break the recovery ability of the Queen.

“Ah, why… such a human… now awakened Aura… That’s ridiculous…”

The Queen’s breathing gradually thinned out and eventually stopped.

The Guideline popped up a message.

[Lv. 85 Queen of Blood Circer cleared. You have earned 45,340,000 XPs.]

[Current XP: 76,213,400/54,581,975,800.]

“I gained 45 million XP.”

Since the Queen was level 85, the XP gained was significant.

However, it still wasn’t satisfactory For Han-bin.

“I need to kill more than 1,200 before I can level up?”

Han-bin smacked his lips.

Although he gained a lot of XP, he still had a long way to go to level-up.

‘The answer is not to focus on the level, but to develop my true skills.’

He got a sense of what Aura was.

In the second half of the Maxbrid Martial Arts book, there was something written about using Aura. If he practiced it steadily, there would be results.

Ryu Han-bin got up.

Now that he cleared the Queen, he had to join the party quickly.

But he turned around quickly upon realizing he almost forgot something.

‘Oh, I have to take the Spirit Stone.’

If the Queen was level 85, she was bound to have a high-tier Spirit Stone.

He had no idea how much it would be.

‘If I just leave her, Artis will nag a lot later, right?’

Quickly, Han-bin tore her body apart.

He looked around as hard as he could but ended up tilting his head instead.

“Huh? Why isn’t there Spirit Stone? It must be in her heart. Was she a Latna-native monster?”

That couldn’t be true.

Didn’t the Blood Circer Queen herself tell him?

She came from a Dungeon.

Ryu Han-bin felt confused.

Black smoke soon trickled out of the Queen’s forehead.

It wriggled for a while before becoming a black crystal.

At that moment, Han-bin’s expression changed.

‘Oh, this is…’

It somehow felt familiar.

It looked just like the one they got from Luxin.

He invoked the Guideline, wondering if it was the same thing.

Technically speaking, it wasn’t.

[Near-Completion Fragment of Omphalos’ blessing (unique item)]

“… What else is on it?”

* * *

A corridor slowly crumbled under the faint moonlight.

In the dusky ancient ruins, Seira’s party was fighting a losing battle.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

“You damn monsters!”

They succeeded in getting out of the tower thanks to Ryu Han-bin’s sacrifice.

But there wasn’t enough room to get out of the Blood Circers’ habitat.

In the end, they were surrounded by dozens of monsters.

A Blood Circer roared.

“Grrrrr!”

The Dwarf warrior, Trinlock, swung his halberd to stop the attack.

But he fell down almost immediately.

“Grrrrr!”

He was barely able to survive.

Though he was a level 54 Aura user, he couldn’t show his skill.

“Oh, shit!”

Blood Circers flew over Trinlock’s head swiftly.

A shadow blocked them from attacking Trinlock.

It was Effir, a little girl with silver hair.

-Magic Swordsmanship: Thunder Roar!

With a confident stroke of magic, she conjured continuous devastation.

One of the leading Blood Circers fell, dripping blood.

But Effir didn’t look happy.

She only managed to clear one with all her might.

There were still dozens of Blood Circers left.

She shouted to the rear in a hurry.

“Mr. Artis!”

“I know, Effir! Burning Flare!”

Artis waved his staff to create elegant gestures and conjured the spell.

A huge explosion prevented the Blood Circers from attacking.

Raondel was also doing his best to fight back.

-Magic Swordsmanship: Empty Arrow!

He burst into a roar as he cast the same spell over and over, firing a series of arrows.

“Leabelle! Can you use magic?”

A skinny young man with gray skin was embarrassed.

“Well, I couldn’t recover Mana…”

He, like Trinlock, had been bleeding for days.

Trinlock, the warrior, could move, but the Mage could hardly stand.

Surprisingly, Raondel didn’t get angry.

“Okay! Hide behind me!”

Raondel ignored humans endlessly, but he was quite generous to those who were like him.

He shouted, loading arrows again.

“Seira! Do something!”

The blue-haired woman began attacking as well.

“Preleu, pour out your cup of wrath!”

The strong light of Spiritism pushed the Blood Circers away.

Of course, it didn’t hurt.

It only damaged the Circers’ temper.

“Grrrr!”

Seira fell into despair as she stared at the roaring monsters.

There was no way out.

‘The Valtara warrior has given up his life…’

Despite his noble sacrifice, it was all in vain.

Looking at the tower, Effir gritted her teeth.

‘No, when is Han-bin coming?’

Just then, something fell from the air.

Boom!

Three or four Blood Circers were blown away, already in fragments.

Amid the explosion, a giant rose.

His black greatsword flashed a gruesome light through the fog.

Seira’s eyes widened.

“Mr. Felard?”

“H-how?”

“Did you clear the Queen?”

Even though they were supposed to be happy, Trinlock and Seira felt suspicious.

It didn’t make sense.

No matter what a strong warrior he was, he couldn’t beat the Blood Circer Queen unless he was an Aura user…

Bam!

At that moment, the red light broke all their suspicions apart.

A dazzling beam of destruction killed an entire flock of Blood Circers.

Too easily, too simply, monsters were massacred over and over again.

Screams echoed ceaselessly.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

Trinlock stared in disbelief.

‘What? What kind of Aura is…?’

Trinlock was also an Aura user, but that red blade Aura was on a different level.

If his Aura was a lantern under the eaves, The Valtara warrior’s was a huge firestorm turning entire forests into cinders!

Boom, Boom!

Amid the endless destruction, Ryu Han-bin grinned.

‘I can see it.’

He could see.

The monsters’ movements, their attacks and defenses, their flow of power, and all their possible paths were all expected.

‘They’re all going to die.’

There was not much to do.

If Han-bin just poked the blade Aura in the right place, they would be cut off.

‘That’s why the Queen was so confident.’

Han-bin felt like he was fighting with blind men.

Was Aura such a cheap ability?

Seira, who was losing her mind, asked.

“… Are you an Aura user?”

Cutting a Blood Circer in two, Han-bin replied nonchalantly.

“I awakened while I was fighting against the Queen.”

“Ah!”

She was immediately convinced.

Originally, most of the warriors awakened their slumbering power after going through a life-and-death battle.

Like Trinlock, most of the existing Aura users realized their true strength after being driven to the brink of death.

Luckily, that time had come for the warrior Valtara when their lives were at stake!

Trinlock shouted for joy.

“It’s Yessen’s protection!”

Ryu Han-bin continued to weave through the Blood Circers.

He was able to slaughter them even when he hadn’t realized Aura.

With Aura, it became too easy.

He continued to massacre them.

Screams echoed endlessly through the mist.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

* * *

The Blood Circers of Loer Dungeon had been completely exterminated.

They would not appear again because they didn’t belong there in the first place, and their Queen was already dead.

Han-bin and his party returned to Tyaron and informed the Hunter Guild of the truth.

Originally, the peculiarity was that a small amount of information was available before the incident happened.

However, they now had new information.

“That isn’t the only time that has happened?”

The guild receptionist nodded with a serious look at Artis’s question.

“Yes, they said that it’s happening simultaneously in the relatively low-level dungeons of the Continental Three Powers.”

Like the Blood Circer Queen of the Loer Dungeon, out-of-level monsters had begun to appear in other local dungeons.

They all had one thing in common. They all came from the Four Prohibited Areas.

“But I’ve never heard of the woman with the mysterious hood. I’ll have to report this to my superiors.”

The receptionist gnawed his teeth, saying that it should have been the work of an Alien.

Ryu Han-bin, who felt guilty, asked bluntly.

“Why would Aliens do such a thing?”

“I don’t know. But it’s an Alien, isn’t it?”

The mysterious phenomenon seemed to be considered to be just part of heresy.

“People of this world hate Earthlings.’

Han-bin also said goodbye to Seira and her party.

Since there was no more business in Tyaron, he would return to his home in Atransas.

Effir worriedly asked Trinlock, who was preparing for the trip.

“Are you all right? You hit him in the back of his head.”

Based on Raondel’s personality, he wouldn’t let go of such an incident easily.

Indeed, Trinlock took a finger around his mouth, looking at his face.

“Shh, the Prince doesn’t know that.”

“Huh? Doesn’t he know?”

“I heard he lost his memory before and after. Oh, I don’t think I hit him that hard, but why… Did he experience a lot of fainting lately?”

“….”

Effir pretended to be indifferent.

Artis said goodbye to Seira.

“Please stop by Atransas later. I’ll serve you like a VIP.”

“Are you sure I can be treated like a VIP?”

Seira showed a bitter smile at the suspicious Artis.

“The Prince has changed his attitude a lot.”

Raondel’s attitude toward Ryu Han-bin was definitely different.

For example, the way he talked changed.

“I appreciate your help. In the name of Atransas, I won’t forget the favor you did for me.”

He was still arrogant, but he didn’t talk about Han-bin’s lowly status anymore.

There was a simple reason for it.

He saw how Ryu Han-bin, who had awakened, massacred the Blood Circers.

It produced respect inside of him.

‘You were a monster! They would be all dead if I used my family’s knights to clear him!’

Raondel gave up on retaliation.

He was surprisingly calculating.

Well, it didn’t mean that he was going to get close to Ryu Han-bin.

He changed his expression as soon as he turned his back.

‘It was dirty being together, and let’s never meet again!’

But he didn’t say it out loud, so it was a great development.

After breaking up with Seira, there were only three left in the party again.

As soon as they arrived in the city, they were immediately involved in an unexpected case, causing them to become busy. But it was time to go back to their original purpose.

“I’ll rent a house first and raise my level here for a while.”

“The goal is level 60! Come on! Cheer up!”

Artis and Effir’s eyes shone.

It was too hard to reach that level in the past, but now it was a dream that could be easily turned into reality.

Of course, Ryu Han-bin had many things to do.

“I’m going to have to learn how to practice Aura.”
