I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 108: Chrono and Darkness

Ji-woo finally realized why he felt familiar with the Portal Gate in the first place. It turned out that was where he dumped Tae-ha before. He didn’t expect the bastard to be alive and look fine even though his left hand was missing.

Ji-woo laughed heartily. Even though he was still in a state of being held captive, and in front of him were thrusts of the wooden spears aiming for life.

‘What the hell is that!? Did he suddenly go crazy because he was going to die!?’

Tae-ha couldn’t understand what Ji-woo was doing in the midst of such a deadly situation. But he didn’t care about that and curled his lips upward.

‘Who f*ck*ng cares about that. Dead! Just die already!’

Tep, Tep–

The thrusts with the eight wooden spears driven by the skeletons hit the tall tree that held Ji-woo earlier, but Ji-woo himself wasn’t there.

The skeletons were surprised to see the wooden spear only pierced the tree trunk and did not hit the target. Even the blood marks or Ji-woo’s torn clothes didn’t get spotted in that place.

Tae-ha was as confused as the skeletons. The tree that could move its branches was a magical plant that could catch any hunter that came into the dungeon. Nothing could ever escape the clutches of those branches. Even weapons or magic items would be useless.

Suddenly, Tae-ha had a hunch that something severe might happen to him, and it reminded him of when Ji-woo severed his left hand with a quick and neat punch. He shivered and sweat all over his forehead.

Ji-woo then showed up from above while the skeletons moved their heads left and right, searching for him. He landed on the skeleton head with his hand and then twisted his body while kicking his legs at the other skeletons.

In an instant, the eight skeletons shattered onto the wet ground.

Ji-woo was totally ruthless and shattered every bone that could possibly keep the creatures moving or merging into a new entity.

He looked up at the tall tree instead of Tae-ha. He could take care of that bastard and put an end to a seed of trouble he didn’t expect was alive later on.

“Interesting to see a magical object that can move on its own.”

The tall tree responded to those words by moving its own branches and attacking Ji-woo in front of it.

Ji-woo parried and dodged the attack effortlessly and while walking closer to the tree. It was definitely an overbearing way to walk casually in front of danger. And yet, he still didn’t get injured at all from it.

What a means to tell the onlooker that the danger was not dangerous.

He finally arrived at the front of the tree that was still continuously attacking him with its branches. He saw eight wooden spears and then struck one of them with his palm to penetrate deep into the tree trunk.

The tall tree seemed in pain and instantly went berserk using its branches, swinging around it erratically.

If there were branches that came into his way, Ji-woo would duck or jump to dodge it and hit the wooden spears until all of them struck into the tree trunk.

The tall tree stopped the frantic swaying of its branches and used it to caress its trunk.

Ji-woo moved his right leg to the back and lowered his body a little bit. He clenched his teeth, and veins bulged from his forehead. He roared, then swung the kick from the right side at the tree trunk that got penetrated by the eight wooden spears.

Kaboom!

The tall tree snapped and fell to the ground.

Ji-woo stared for a moment and turned his face in the direction where Tae-ha was. However, the movement suddenly stopped because something caught his attention.

He saw a glowing ball near a fallen tree in azure and white. It was a Sphere that he knew its function.

Rnegyr Sphere!

Ji-woo’s eyes widened when he picked up the Sphere.

‘Why is this here? Does this tree use it? Eat it? Or just being there?’

He shook his head.

“This is not quite right. This Sphere does not serve to give power or make things strong and good.”

Ji-woo knew that the Rare Mana in the Rnegyr Sphere was the main ingredient in making the most unique and extraordinary magic item.

The Teleport Scroll!

A life-saving item that even the Underlord or the Supreme Commander Stormrage couldn’t stop.

In the Magical World previously, only three Portal Scrolls had got created successfully. It was because the Rnegyr Sphere was extremely rare. Even rarer than the Dragons.

However, the excitement should get extinguished in an instant when Ji-woo realized that only a Grandmaster Blacksmith capable of making such items. What was more, he couldn’t write Elf’s tongue and Dragon’s tongue, which got used to determining the teleport position.

“Anyway, let’s keep it for now. Though I don’t know if it will be used or not in the future.”

Ji-woo put the Rnegyr Sphere into his Spatial Bag along with other items inside it.

“You…!? You…! What are you!! How could you s-still live and break that magic tree?

“None of the previous h-hunters had survived the trap. All die without exception!”

Ji-woo looked at Tae-ha, who was shaking and still where he was before, watching what happened.

“I will not comment on your behavior of siding with these dungeon creatures to kill your fellow countrymen hunters. Because in a moment, I will take your life!”

Tae-ha was scared to death at those words. His fear of Ji-woo was back again after previously having overcome it by killing the hunters who came to the dungeon. He would have almost peed his pants if the hundreds of skeletons hadn’t risen from the wet ground.

Ji-woo narrowed his eyes when he saw hundreds of skeletons come out and lunge at him.

“What party do I have now!”

The hundreds of skeletons jumped at Ji-woo and attacked him brutally. He got submerged in a sea of bones that almost covered the entire ground in the area.

Tae-ha mustered up his courage and grinned even though his legs were still shaking.

“Eat t-that sh*t! These hundreds of skeletons from Commander Tagka’s army are invincible!”

But, that arrogance did not last long enough. The hundreds of skeletons turned into thousands of useless bone fragments and got thrown everywhere irregularly.

That scene made Tae-ha drop his jaw, and his legs finally gave up. He fell, slumped to the ground without any strength left. He muttered some last words while trying to get up.

“Ready to k-kill. It means also r-ready to get killed.”

Hehe–

Tae-ha helplessly laughed when he saw Ji-woo coming toward him, followed by dozens of skeletons.

There were two wooden spear thrusts aiming at Ji-woo’s back. However, he quickly disappeared, and the two thrusts hit Tae-ha, who was sitting in a motionless manner.

Tae-ha spurted blood from his mouth. It was the retribution that came to him for his actions of guiding and trapping the hunters. Helped the dungeon creatures to secure their place. The hunters got tricked by him because of his trauma due to Ji-woo and the need to overcome it. So, the Dungeon Owner offered him cooperation in exchange for letting him live.

And to the skeletons, Tae-ha was nothing more than a tool for their mission of killing anyone who intended to close the dungeon.

Ji-woo ran back to the skeletons, who had pulled the wooden spears from Tae-ha. He jumped up and landed both knees on the heads of the two endoskeletons. He also didn’t stop there and just smashed the rest of the bones until they were no longer functional.

He quickly moved to the remaining skeletons and demolished them completely. He then looked around after cleaning up those creatures. Yet, the Dungeon Owner still didn’t come out even after he crushed the hundreds of skeletons.

He stopped exploring when he sensed a big Mana wave near where he was standing. After walking for a while, he saw a lizard man sitting on a muddy throne full of moss and wet leaves.

Ji-woo laughed lightly. The Lizard Man was still able to calmly sit on that throne when the skeleton army got obliterated by him.

Unbelievable!

“O, human. You have finally come to welcome this divine being. Worship me, and I will spare you.”

Bwahahaha–

Lizard Man’s words caused Ji-woo to laugh unconditionally.

“I didn’t know dungeon creatures could joke. I thought you guys could only kill. Hilarious!”

Hahaha–

Blood vessels protruded on the bald Lizard Man’s head. He was angry at being disrespected by Ji-woo.

“Insolent! This Tagka won’t let you live!”

Tagka snapped his fingers, and two Spheres appeared on both handles of the muddy throne. He put a hand into one of the Spheres while the other side faced Ji-woo.

“Behold my power, human!”

However, Ji-woo was neither surprised nor afraid of it. Instead, he smirked. He knew what power the Lizard Man meant. The Rare Mana that he could sense from it was something he was familiar with it already.

It was the Chrono Sphere and the Darkness Sphere.
