I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 133: Wrath: Still A Long Way To Go

Yu-jin with dozens of white wolves in tow went to the Red Gate. Surprisingly, the area got deserted, and there were no beasts as far as her eyes could see. There were only the carcasses of the headless white wolves that filled the place.

After approaching, she could see Ji-woo sitting in front of the Red Gate. Ji-woo also looked in the direction she came in.

“Ji-woo~si?”

“Get down.”

Yu-jin’s reaction was the same as Dong-hyun’s. She was utterly clueless about it. But, in the end, she still complied with it. She immediately jumped over Ji-woo, who was moving towards the white wolves crowd behind her.

Ji-woo immediately slashed at the leading white wolf, proceeding to the second white wolf with a swing of the Shadow Blade. He continued gashing the third, fourth, fifth, and so on until dozens of those creatures fell to the ground. It was all happening in seconds.

However, Yu-jin was not surprised by that. Even though it took a while, the S-rank hunter could also kill dozens of those white wolves. Apart from that, there was something else that caught her attention. Ji-woo’s two short swords that were sky blue and amethyst and denim and black were like high-quality weapons in her eyes.

She tried to sense the Mana of the two weapons but to no avail. On the other hand, she felt that both of them possessed unusual Mana.

“What’s next? Are all the carcasses of these beasts you’re doing?”

“You can gather those roaming beasts here again like before. Or just wanting to stay here is fine. Do as you feel comfortable.”

Ji-woo dropped the Diffusal Blade and Shadow Blade to the ground, stuck firmly after giving advice to Yu-jin. He then sat down as before, gazing at the Red Gate meaningfully.

Yu-jin, who saw the event, got curious why Ji-woo left his two weapons.

“Aren’t you afraid that your two swords will get taken by other hunters? They are like expensive weapons.”

Ji-woo waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter. No one in this world can use both except me.”

“That’s true, too. Usually, magic weapons got tied to their wielders. And to let it go, that means either killing you first. Or you unbound them yourself.”

Ji-woo shrugged his shoulders. He disagreed with what Yu-jin said, but he didn’t elaborate further. His twin blades were no ordinary magical weapons. First, they both weigh 300 kg each. And last but not least, both swords are detrimental to Mana users.

The Diffusal Blade would suck the Mana of the person holding it, while the Shadow Blade would turn off the user’s Mana.

Yu-jin squinted her eyes and looked at the Red Gate. She sighed. “The Red Gate is still not closed. I wonder what the fate of the other three districts has been so far?”

The Mapo District had indeed come out of its critical period with Ji-woo slaughtering hundreds of those white wolves. However, the situation of the other three places was still in a predicament. The hundreds of beasts from the Portal Gate that the two S-rank hunters couldn’t contain made 40 percent of Seoul’s area almost filled with those creatures.

And sure enough, the situation of the three districts was really terrible. The number of beasts in each Red Gate surged to three thousand. It was beyond the expectations of the hunters there. It turned out that the creatures they killed could not make the numbers decrease. And the two S-rank hunters in each of the Red Gate also got surrounded by those thousands of beasts. It caused them to get exhausted soon.

The number of victims who fell on the hunter’s side was almost a thousand. That means nearly half of the hunters currently in Seoul have died fighting the Portal Gate creatures. Meanwhile, the number of casualties on the civilian side was still unknown or not yet calculated by the Hunters Association.

Right now, it was a gamble for time, which district could close their Red Gate first. That was because automatically, the S-rank hunters who played the most as reinforcements would go to other neighborhoods that had not got resolved. Only after all the Red Gates were closed would they be able to stop the advance of the remaining beasts.

Yongsan district with Devil Baboons and the Monkey King. Jongno district with Skeleton Squad and the Undead Knight. Dongdaemun district with Demon Bats and the Night Hunter.

No one knew which one would be able to close the Red Gate between those three places.

It was night, and slowly but surely, the tense atmosphere in Seoul had lessened. It seemed to begin from the Mapo district.

Ji-woo had crushed the white wolves that came out of the Red Gate. All that got left were the white wolves that roamed around long ago. For the Werewolf, it was only a matter of time. It was because by now, the hunters, who had spread throughout the district, had found the creature.

There were three S-rank Hunters, such as Chairman Yu of the Hunters Association, Oh Dal-shik of the Shadow guild, Oh Dal-soo of the Demigod guild. Such an arrangement was too luxurious for the Werewolf. It was because Chairman Yu alone could render the creature powerless. And it was definite that the Dungeon Owner could not escape again this time around.

However, the Werewolf refused to fall without taking three or four hunters with him. In the end, Dal-shik and Chairman Yu delivered the final blow. Meanwhile, Dal-soo recovered the hunters, who got injured and nearly died because of the Dungeon Owner.

“Why did you two wander all the way here? What about the Red Gate area? What happened to those white wolves?”

Dal-shik didn’t open his mouth and pointed at Dal-soo when he heard Chairman Yu’s question.

Dal-soo calmly approached and explained. “There’s nothing to worry about it. I can guarantee that the beasts in the Red Gate area have got razed to the ground. The problem now is our division of labor for this place. And surely some of us will have to go to other districts too.”

Chairman Yu frowned at that. “Does this have anything to do with that young man?”

“Oh? Hyung~nim, do you mean that snotty kid Dal-soo knows?” Dal-shik asked.

Chairman Yu didn’t respond to Dal-shik’s question and waited for Dal-soo to open his mouth.

“We can talk about this later. What’s important is the other three Red Gates.”

Chairman Yu then nodded. It was because Dal-soo had made sure not to worry. Thus, he decided not to press the matter.

“Soon, a helicopter from the Hunters Association will arrive here and bring some hunters to provide assistance to the other three places.

“Me, Dal-soo, and the A-rank hunters will be leaving Mapo-Gu. Meanwhile, Dal-shik and other B-rank hunters and below are exploring the entire area. To make sure the remaining white wolves don’t roam freely when the blockade walls get lifted. “

“Alright.”

With that, it spared the Mapo district from the catastrophe and only needed to clean up the remnants of the white wolves that were spreading in the area.

Now, it was only a matter of time before the calamity disappeared from the other three places. Any district where reinforcements from Mapo district arrived would definitely give the hunters that fighting there a chance to breathe.

On the other hand, Ji-woo got up from his seat after the Red Gate disappeared. He picked up the Diffusal Blade and Shadow Blade that stuck on the ground. He took a deep breath and then clasped his hands together.

“Null Eyes!”

Zasp–

Ji-woo’s color of eyes changed to dark blue. Everything he saw turned into white and black threads. The ability almost allowed him to see a five km radius from where he was standing.

Not long after, he saw a stack of blue threads coming towards him from two directions. Other than those two. There were no Mana users within his Null Eyes range.

He then stopped using his Null Eyes, and instantly his body heated up and emitted steam.

“Well, I don’t feel as tired as before. However, the body heat is still there. It seems the Nullifier’s True Strength isn’t fully get synchronized yet. Or perhaps, my physical body still hasn’t reached that peak power threshold yet.”

Ji-woo tilted his head while thinking about the possibility. In the end, he didn’t bother too much about it. Now, his plan to raise unlimited funds must continue.

He sighed. “If only there one skilled blacksmith who would work for me. Then building a factory or warehouse for weapons and magic items would be easier. Of course, it would be quicker for me to have funds for an intelligence agency by selling those items.”

He looked around the surroundings full of weapons and magic items from fallen hunters. The armor of the beasts was quite tempting to sell. However, that only applied to people who knew where to sell them. Literally, who wanted the magical armors from those beasts?

Ji-woo currently had information related to hunters limited to South Korea only. The world was still vast, and there was still a long way to go for him. So was the peace of mankind.
