Moon's Labyrinths

Chapter 332

Chapter 332

As expected of the strongest Connectors, Russell and Bruce lived up to their name .

Each man fought a Jormungandr, and they held a decisive edge in their respective fights . Sungyoon immediately ran toward the remaining Jormungandr .

While Sungyoon, Russell, and Bruce occupied the three Jormungandrs, the war turned competitive again .

Sungyoon had become pretty strong, but he couldn’t be compared to Russell and Bruce yet . Russell and Bruce killed their monsters much faster than him . Sungyoon looked at the two men .

Wink!

Bruce winked at him and wagged his index finger as if to say Sungyoon had a long way to go .

Russell looked exasperated at seeing Bruce’s antics . He then looked straight at Sungyoon, nodded, and focused on killing the other monsters .

‘The two of them haven’t changed at all . ’

It seemed they wanted Sungyoon to take care of the remaining Jormungandr .

‘I won’t let them down . ’

Sungyoon took up his halberd and attacked the Jormungandr once again .

Was it thanks to having a backup? In this fight against the same foe, his movements became less desperate . He slowly pushed the Jormungandr back against the wall, and finally, he took a big swing at its neck .

‘Huh?’

Surprisingly, he didn’t face any resistance as he cut through its hard scales . He felt as if he were cutting through an overripe fruit that was about to go rotten .

His attack cut open over half of the Jormungandr’s neck . Blood sprayed into the air . The monster’s neck hung on the remaining flesh as its corpse fell to the ground .

In contrast, Sungyoon landed softly .

‘This is... . ’

It was a familiar power . The nearby monsters rushed at Sungyoon, but he severed their heads with just one stroke of his halberd .

‘I knew it!’

It was the power from the source of magical energy . Moreover, this was completely different from the power the Royal Gem generated . It was the power that he could tap when fighting the Golems and Kevil .

Sungyoon turned his head . He saw several more Jormungandrs appear on the battlefield . However, that wasn’t the important part .

‘Let me strengthen my vision . ’

He activated his spell, and his vision became clearer . A figure standing atop a Jormungandr entered his sight .

‘Glaia . ’

She had the upper body of a human woman and a lower body of a snake . She was an officer that was on par with Kevil .

Sungyoon tapped his communication device in a particular sequence . It was one of the signals that had been set up beforehand .

- Is it an officer? Glaia?

Tap!

- Shit!

The Mayor swore .

- We’ve also confirmed the presence of several more Jormungandrs . It seems they are like Kevil’s Archdemons and function as her personal troops .

Since Glaia was standing on top of a Jormungandr’s head, his theory was likely .

- Mr . Sungyoon . I would like you to fight Glaia with Sir Russell and Mr . Bruce .

‘We’ll go right now . ’

Sungyoon signaled his party members .

‘Still, I’m wary about fighting Glaia with just the three of us . ’

It would be a problem if he didn’t have anyone to help him, but he had his party members . Moreover, they would be fighting alongside the two greatest Connectors of Earth .

‘I’m worried I might fall behind them... . ’

He decided to trust the power coming from the source of magical energy .

One of the Jormungandrs broke off from Glaia’s group . It intercepted Sungyoon, who was running toward Glaia . Revealing its sharp venomous fangs, it threatened Sungyoon .

‘Fuck off!’

He threw his hammer . The hammer spun through the air as it landed on the Jormungandr’s head . An explosion erupted .

Hwee-chung!

The Jormungandr’s face turned into a bloody mess .

Sungyoon flew above its head, then changed directions and dived downward . He also put his Gravity spell on himself . Then, he took out his halberd and pointed the spear blade down .

As he shot forward like a bullet, he used the momentum to pierce through the Jormungandr’s head .

‘Ughh!’

The blood and gore of the Jormungandr covered his entire body .

‘I did it because I wanted to end this fight as soon as possible, but I might have overdone it!’

He tried to brush off the fluids with his hands, but it wasn’t enough . In the end, he gave up .

‘Let’s just consider myself lucky for not getting stuck within its head . ’

Sungyoon started moving once again, and he fought another Jormungandr .

This time, he didn’t use the bullet plan . He took the normal route, using his sword as a nail and pounded it into the Jormungandr’s head with his hammer .

As expected, killing the monster was easier than before .

‘Next...!’

Standing atop the Jormungandr’s corpse, Sungyoon was about to look for his next target when a liquid came flying toward him . By the time he realized it, the liquid was too close to him .

Flap!

Sungyoon instinctively unfurled his wings and flew backward . The liquid lost its target and fell on the Jormungandr’s corpse below . The corpse melted away .

‘What the...!’

This sight terrified Sungyoon . He had seen a lot of poisons in this battle . He had also used his ax’s poison . However, he had never encountered a poison of this caliber . It was like pouring boiling water on the ground covered by a snow layer . In a flash, the Jormungandr’s corpse melted away without any delay or resistance .

‘Koo-ooh-oohk!’

Sungyoon suddenly felt his arm pain .

‘What the hell!’

He quickly looked down .

‘Shit! The poison!’

A couple of drops had splashed onto his arm, creating holes in his armor . Sungyoon quickly unsummoned the armor on his arm, but it was too late . He saw a couple of small holes on his arm too .

However, the damage didn’t stop there .

‘The wound is getting bigger! The poison is spreading!’

It was an extremely toxic poison that had melted a Jormungandr’s corpse in an instant . Sungyoon immediately took action without thinking . He summoned his halberd and cut off his arms at his shoulder joints with the ax blade .

The severed arms fell to the ground and instantly melted .

‘Koo-ooh-oohk!’

He bit his lips . Despite being in pain, he shuddered as he witnessed the power of the poison .

Sungyoon looked towards the source of the poison .

Her beautiful yet terrifying eyes were looking down at him in an arrogant manner .

‘Glaia . This is the poison of an officer . ’

However, he didn’t think too long about it .

‘Shit! This hurts! I have to get this fixed first . ’

He had cut off a limb . He felt pain, and he could feel his blood and his life force drain out of him in real-time .

‘I should retreat for a short time . ’

Sungyoon possessed a healing Gem, but it was still a Rainbow rank . It was pretty low . He had let Emily do most of the healing . He had mostly focused on developing his attack power .

This was why he couldn’t regrow his arm . He could only stop the wound from worsening .

‘No . It isn’t as if I’m out of options . ’

Sungyoon held the halberd with his remaining left hand, and he moved towards where the monsters were thickest .

He cut down a careless monster . His balance was off, and the pain was eating away at his mental state . However, he could still fight .

Moreover, he was fighting against the small fry .

‘Is it getting a bit better?’

He looked at his wound . It was still letting out blood .

‘I have to kill a couple more . ’

Sungyoon swung his halberd . Since he was being supplied power by the source of magical energy, he didn’t have a tough time killing the monsters .

The blood loss was rapidly decreasing as he cut down more monsters .

His wound closed, then his arm slowly started to regrow itself .

After cutting a monster in half, he looked down at his right arm . An uninjured arm could be seen, and he could move it through his own volition .

‘It is fine now . ’

He had leveled up the halberd a lot, and its healing ability had become strong enough to regrow a body part .

Sungyoon resummoned his armor on his healed right arm . The holes made by the poison remained .

He let out a sigh of relief . He chuckled in dismay at his intact arm .

‘Have I become way too tough to kill?’

He had acted quickly in desperation, but when he looked back on it, he had done something incredible .

Even if he was trying to save his life from the poison invading his body, he hadn’t hesitated to cut off his own arm . Then he had killed monsters while missing an arm .

When he looked back, he could tell the Connectors were glancing towards him . They looked a bit overwhelmed by what he had done .

‘If I saw someone like me on the battlefield, I would have looked at him with the same eyes like them . ’

Sungyoon took his eyes off the Connectors, and he looked towards Glaia .

While Sungyoon was focused on his recovery, Russell and Bruce had started their fight against Glaia .

‘I hope I didn’t put them in a tough spot . ’

Sungyoon quickly joined the fight .

Russell looked at Sungyoon . He rubbed his right arm .

‘He’s asking if my arm is ok... . ’

Sungyoon raised his thumb .

Russell looked relieved as he moved .

‘Oh no!’

Sungyoon quickly retreated backward . Russell quickly got out of there too . Caustic liquid splashed where they had been standing . It shot forwards in a straight line .

‘It’s poison again!’

He had to cut off his arm thanks to this poison, so Sungyoon shuddered .

He quickly checked if any poison had splashed onto his body . Thankfully, not a single drop had hit him .

After Sungyoon and Russell confirmed that they were alright, they charged Glaia .

Bruce jumped in between them . He kept moving his mouth as if he was saying something . It seemed he was complaining that they had taken too long by his gestures .

However, Sungyoon couldn’t know for sure since there was no sound . He just shrugged his shoulders .

‘What should we do about her now?’

Russell and Bruce had engaged Glaia for a brief moment, but they hadn’t been able to gain the upper hand .

Sungyoon remembered they had attacked Glaia before, but it had been a losing proposition . At most, the battle had been a standstill .

‘I can’t compare this to the time when I killed Kevil . Unlike him, Glaia can use her full power . ’

First, he decided to limit the use of his ax . Since her ability was poison-related, he didn’t think the ax would work against her .

Sungyoon summoned his halberd .

The three men attack Glaia at the same time .

‘Let’s kill the Jormungandr first . ’

Glaia was riding on top of the head of a Jormungandr, and it threatened the three men with its mouth wide open . It was clear that it was full of fighting spirit .

It seemed Russell and Bruce had the same thought as him . They didn’t jump up towards the head . They immediately attacked Jormungandr’s stomach .

Bruce punched Jormungandr’s stomach . It was as if a ripple moved outwards from where his punch had landed . Jormungandr’s body shook .

‘A human would have died instantly from that blow . ’

He already used four weapons, but Sungyoon thought it would be great if he had a gauntlet to use like Bruce .

Jormungandr went crazy .

‘I would have reacted the same way . ’

After Bruce’s attack, Russell slashed with his sword . The black scales were cut away, and a large cut appeared on its stomach . Sungyoon stabbed his halberd through the open wound .

Afterward, Sungyoon retreated . The halberd remained in its stomach . Bruce punched the handle of the halberd .

In a flash, the halberd shot forward . It pierced completely through the thick body to exit on the other side .

Afterward, Russell and Sungyoon attacked with their swords . They kept hacking away at the open wound . In the end, they were able to cut Jormungandr in half .

The three men jumped backward as its upper body fell to the ground .

‘Jeez!’

Sungyoon quickly retreated backward when the poison flew towards him again . Caustic gas rose into the air as the poison created a hole in the ground . Then something landed right in front of them . She had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake .

‘She’s going to fight us for real now . ’

Sungyoon took a firmer grip on his halberd .

Glaia’s long slitted eyes headed towards the three of them .
