I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 122: Wrath: Isolation Zone

The Red Gate in Mapo district was already in a state of battle. The high-level creatures that appeared were white wolves. The beast’s height was 1.5 meters and 3 meters long. Each white wolf weighs 230 kg. The beasts were also wearing golden armor that looked gleaming. Not only that, but the golden armor also emitted a sinister aura.

Fortunately, in the beginning, the lineup of the hunters had got arranged. If there were now E-rank and D-rank hunters, they certainly wouldn’t budge against the sinister aura and the grinding of the teeth of the white wolves, which sounded unpleasant.

There were no S-rank hunters in the place for the time being. It consisted of only A-rank and B-rank hunters. Meanwhile, C-rank hunters stood guard at a considerable distance. The total hunters at the Red Gate were approximately 50 people from various medium guilds and the top three guilds.

They originally planned to directly kill the creature that came out of the Red Gate. But, the reality was bitter. The white wolves that came out were not just one beast, but dozens of them. And the number reached 13 white wolves.

Overall, it was 50 against 13. On paper, it was a situation where the hunters outnumbered the beasts. But in reality, the 13 white wolves couldn’t get managed with just two hunters.

On the record, all three hunters were A-ranks, a minimum of three hunters for one beast.

That meant it would take at least 40 hunters of A-rank for it. Unfortunately, their formation wasn’t that fancy. There were only 10 A-rank hunters in place.

Inevitably, the lineup was four or five hunters for that one white wolf. One A-rank and one B-rank while the rest got filled by C-ranks.

A fight finally broke out, and sure enough, the scale of the damage was greater than fighting the creature from the case of the 20 Red Gates. At least, the buildings and roads in the Red Gate area with a radius of 30 meters got destroyed.

Traces of magic had come into sight everywhere. The hunters couldn’t fight while holding back. What they encountered were not just ordinary beasts.

Those creatures have tremendous power and speed. Moreover, with the glittering golden armor, all the magic that got cast was unable to penetrate the defenses of the white wolves.

But that didn’t mean the hunters were in a slump against the beasts that looked very strong. They could still hold on to their ground even at a disadvantage.

The weapons and magic items that the hunters had could substitute magic spells that didn’t work on opponents who had strong defenses. Moreover, high-ranking hunters usually used the best quality armor and magic weapons in their battles.

“We can’t hold out much longer. We need at least one S-rank hunter here as a playmaker to control the rhythm of the fight.”

Shortly after, the A-rank hunter shouted his complaint. Suddenly, a white wolf broke through the defense and pounced on the leg of one of the hunters with its sharp teeth.

“Argh!”

“F*ck it! We were careless! Bring the wounded to the back. Don’t let him bleed to death and take care of him. The Godly Doctor could regenerate a stumped limb.”

Two C-rank hunters and one B-rank hunter came to repel the white wolves that had entered the defense of their formation.

Meanwhile, the A-rank hunter who was busy giving the instructions was surprised when he noticed a white wolf swooping down on him.

“Sh*t!

He quickly used lightning magic to restrain the beast’s advance. However, it didn’t work because the white wolf’s golden armor counteracted the paralyzing effect. That kept the creature’s pace from being slowed down.

As a result, the A-rank hunter’s left arm had to get bitten to avoid the white wolf’s fangs targeting his head.

The A-rank hunter knew he couldn’t waste the opportunity because the white wolf was in such close proximity. He directly plunged his broadsword into the lower part of the neck, which was not protected by the golden armor.

“Attack where the armor isn’t covered before this beast breaks my arm and retreats!

“Now!”

The A-rank Hunters ordered other hunters to attack with their magic weapons. Not with magic spells. Even though he sacrificed his left arm to be bitten by the beast, that didn’t mean he gave up on his life.

The four hunters immediately reacted after hearing and seeing the situation. Meanwhile, the white wolf began to realize that its bite would become a trap if it didn’t retreat immediately.

The A-rank hunter caught a glimpse of the beast’s movement, instantly twisted the broadsword that still got stuck in its neck.

The white wolf endured the painful cry and tried to release its teeth without intending to force the hunter’s arm to break. The beast managed to escape while groaning a little and letting the broadsword stuck in its lower neck.

Jleb!

Two swords and a spear succeed pierce the white wolf in the uncovered part of the golden armor. The beast realized it had received a wound that could hinder its movement, so it gave up its intention to return to the other white wolves near the Red Gate.

The white wolf waved its body, and all the hunters got thrown back. The beast opened its mouth and gritted its fangs. The appearance of the creature looked ferocious with the weapons stuck in its body.

Aurggh!

Scretzh–

The white wolf’s howl didn’t last long when an A-rank hunter appeared beside him and instantly severed the beast’s head through the sword stuck at the bottom of its neck.

“Where are you taking my broadsword? You d*mn dog.”

The A-rank Hunter then flicked the flames with his broadsword, and the white wolf’s head on the ground was instantly scorched.

It ignited the fury of the other white wolves, and they immediately bared their sharp fangs.

The battle continued, and slowly but surely, the hunters gained the upper hand. One by one, the white wolves died at their hands, although some were injured and injured to get that result. Now, all that was left were the three white wolves of the 13 beasts.

But, that was not the end of a victory that would come true. Dozens of white wolves came out again from the Red Gate. That was right, therein lied the terrible thing that the Red Gate had. There was no limit to the creatures that would come out as if it were a door that connected directly to the den of the beasts. The key was the Dungeon Owner, who hadn’t been present in the fight.

The A-rank hunters who were there let out their long breaths. Of the 50 hunters, only 30 were able to continue the battle. Many of the rest were seriously injured, and two or three people had died already. It was a grim situation on the hunters’ side.

On the other hand, at the evacuation door to get out of the Mapo district, the crowd was still visible and jostling to get out of the war zone. This time the entire Seoul area had got blocked by the army. Only hunters on duty could enter and exit the isolation area.

There was a thick metal wall that rose above 11 meters from the ground. Every 3-meter interval to the side, there was a machine gun hanging on every wall. That was not all. Several hunters were also guarding the isolation wall. It was to suppress the entire area that was in a fighting situation. So as not to spread to other cities.

There were four points that became the exit of the isolation zone. They were next to the district where the Red Gate was. It was to speed up the evacuation.

The Hunter’s Association also placed their Apex-ranked in Seoul to immediately purge all creatures from the Red Gates. They also put one S-rank hunter at each evacuation door. For this incident, only 9 S-rank hunters could be present in Seoul, including Chairman Yu.

Meanwhile, Dong-hyun and Yu-jin were seen at the evacuation door helping the police and soldiers to control the panicked people who wanted to get out of Seoul.

“Have you seen Ji-woo hyung’s family?”

Yu Jin shook her head at Dong-hyun’s question. They originally wanted to go to the Mapo district but were ordered not to approach the Red Gate area. It was because they were only E-rank and D-rank.

Even though they were pretty strong and capable of fighting both B-rank and A-rank hunters equally, their Mana capacity was still below average. And that was not the time to be fighting just over ranking issues.

“Can you call Ji-woo?”

This time it was Dong-hyun who shook his head. “Since then, my calls haven’t gone through.”

They were both worried about Ji-woo’s family, especially since Ji-woo couldn’t get reached and they didn’t know where he was.

“How about your family?”

“I have no family in Seoul. My mother is in Incheon.” Dong-hyun answered.

“Same. My older sister is also in Daegu.”

Looking at the endless crowd, the restlessness of the two of them grew in their heads.

“I hope everything is okay.”

Yu-jin nodded at Dong-hyun’s hope. The scale this time was big and more severe than the previous two events, namely the Mapo Red Gate and 20 Red Gates across the country.
