Chapter 333

Sungyoon felt a tingling pressure coming from her .

‘Is this the true presence of Grenoid’s officers?’

It really was different from the time when he had faced off against Kevil .

‘Still, it’s bearable . ’

The fighting spirit felt more intense . However, Sungyoon was more comfortable right now than he had been when facing Kevil . The boost in his power could be one of the reasons for it .

‘This might be easier than expected . ’

Sungyoon took a firm grip on his halberd .

As always, the first one to charge in was Bruce . He swung his fist with all his might, but Glaia’s long nails blocked the punch . The two of them clashed in a battle of strength; slowly but surely, Bruce was being pushed back .

Russell came up behind Bruce and stabbed Glaia with his sword . Glaia swung her tail to deflect the sword . The same sword that had easily cut through the Jormungandr’s scales couldn’t injure Glaia’s tail .

However, the attacks had yet to end . Sungyoon followed up after Russell and stabbed with his halberd .

Glaia slammed her tail into the ground and used the rebound to retreat .

‘Did I get her?’

Sungyoon felt a sensation run through his hands . The feeling was very faint . He had felt a lot of resistance, but he also felt as if he had cut something . However, it seemed he was unable to inflict a large wound .

Glaia raised her arm to wipe her face . A small amount of blood had smeared her cheek .

‘At the very least, my attack works on her . ’

Even though the cut was tiny, it was a very heartening sight for Sungyoon . In contrast, Glaia’s face turned ugly .

Sungyoon felt someone tap his shoulder . He turned to see Russell trying to communicate with him .

‘What’s he trying to say?’

Russell made a gesture with his hands . It was a hand signal made up on the spot, so Russell couldn’t communicate in a precise manner . However, he got his point across .

‘He wants me to lead the attack?’

Russell and Bruce were distinguished fighters, yet Russell wanted Sungyoon to take the lead, and it seemed Bruce also felt the same way .

‘Is it because I wounded her?’

That was the only reason Sungyoon could think of .

‘They must have a good reason for doing this . ’

The two of them had been Connectors for dozen more years than him . They were ripe with experience .

Sungyoon nodded .

‘I can wound her . . . ’

As he thought about his attack, Sungyoon looked down at his halberd . What he saw surprised him .

‘The spear blade is damaged . ’

Did Glaia’s hard skin do this?

‘No . It would’ve bent if that was the case . It looks like it melted . . . ’

When he looked at the damaged spear blade, Sungyoon caught sight of Glaia’s blood . He quickly unsummoned his halberd, and the blood on the spear blade fell to the ground . It let out a caustic gas as it started melting the ground .

‘No way! Her blood is poisonous too!’

Russell and Bruce stiffened when they saw Glaia’s blood melt the ground .

Sungyoon resummoned his halberd, then gestured to the two men that everything was fine .

‘I have a lot of weapons . It’s better if I attack her . ’

The two of them had realized his intentions . They nodded as they once again glared at Glaia . Then, they charged forward and attacked Glaia from both sides . Glaia clashed with their weapons using her nails in a dizzying fashion .

‘Unlike their normally bickering selves, they are working very well together . ’

The two of them had each other’s back as they quickly clashed against Glaia’s powerful nails . The sight of them disagreeing with each other could no longer be seen .

‘It’s going to be tough to intrude into their fight . ’

Despite this thought, Sungyoon had to do it . He rushed forward as he swung his halberd .

***

The gauntlets, the sword, and the halberd kept pushing Glaia backward; they left a lot of wounds on her body . Yet, the battle was not getting any easier . No, it had become harder thanks to the blood dripping out of her wounds .

The spear blade of the halberd created a new stab wound in Glaia’s arm, and Sungyoon immediately unsummoned his spear to get rid of the blood . He then took up his sword, dodged Glaia’s nails, and cut her arm once again .

Lightning erupted to burn the blood . However, the sword couldn’t avoid being damaged . It just happened slower .

Glaia frowned for a moment when the lightning entered her body, then her neck started to bulge .

All three men immediately moved . The gauntlet and the sword distracted Glaia’s vision as her cheeks started to bulge . Then, the ax blade of the halberd aimed for her neck .

She lifted her head backward to dodge the blow . Sungyoon spun . He brought up the spear blade of the halberd from the ground to aim for her chin . His plan worked, and she had to bend her head back further .

The liquid in Glaia’s mouth overflowed .

‘Be careful!’

The three of them backed off at the same time .

Glaia lowered her head, and poison dripped out of her mouth . Any place the poison touched melted away .

Glaia wiped her mouth with an annoyed expression . Due to this, the poison got flung sideways, and it created new holes in the ground .

‘As expected, her poison does not affect her . ’

If others tried to wipe away the poison like that, their arm would melt away . The act of keeping the poison in their mouth would be an act of suicide .

‘I don’t think my ax’s poison will have any effect on her . ’

His ax could only inflict normal damage on her .

‘Still, it’s true that she’s accumulating more wounds . ’

It was an encouraging piece of information .

***

The battle continued .

‘It seems her nails also have poisonous properties . ’

Sungyoon looked down . Glaia’s long fingernails had created clear lines on the ground . Her nails had ripped through the ground, but the shape was irregular as if the ground had melted around the divots .

‘She just needs to squarely hit us once to kill us . ’

If framed that way, the fight was in no way advantageous for them . Russell and Bruce had similar thoughts, so they were always on high alert . They clashed with her a couple more times and inflicted damage on her while being mindful of the terrifying poison .

The ax blade of the halberd cut through her shoulder . Glaia’s right arm fell away, and blood fountained forth from the wound .

‘Oh no!’

Sungyoon unsummoned his halberd as he immediately retreated . Russell and Bruce did the same . Thankfully, Glaia’s blood had not splashed on any of them .

Sungyoon summoned his halberd once again .

‘I can no longer use this . ’

Although only for a moment, a massive amount of blood had fallen on his halberd . It had damaged the ax blade . Large and small holes had appeared on the ax blade; Sungyoon was quite fortunate that his Gem had survived that .

Unsummoning the halberd, Sungyoon took up his sword .

‘We’re at a clear advantage now . ’

Glaia clutched the location from where her arm had been severed as she glared at the three of them .

‘She’s no joke . ’

If her stares could kill, the three men would have a hard time staying alive . However, the fight was turning advantageous for them in a decisive manner . They didn’t have any plans of letting go of this golden opportunity to kill one of Grenoid’s officers .

‘Even if I lose a weapon or two, I have to kill her here . ’

The three of them charged at the injured Glaia once again .

***

It was a fierce fight . Bruce and Russell were the highest ranked Connectors, while Sungyoon had transcended his own power with the boost from the source of magical energy .

Glaia was unyielding as the three men launched waves of attacks . However, there was always a breaking point . Sungyoon’s sword created a wide arc . Her blood had eaten away much of the blade, but it had yet to completely lost its edge .

In the end, the sword cut through her waist . Light flashed as lightning entered her body . The attack severed her body in half, and powerful lightning entered both parts . Even though she was an officer of the monsters, Glaia was reaching her limit .

Her mouth went open wide as she screamed . The scream was filled with pain, but no one could hear it because of the Moon’s lack of air . The Moon’s environment had robbed her of her last cry .

Her upper body fell face first on the surface of the Moon, then her lower body drooped . It just looked like the lower body of a dead snake .

Sungyoon quickly unsummoned his sword to get rid of the blood, then resummoned it .

‘I can no longer use this . ’

The blade was damaged all over with deep pockmarks everywhere . It seemed it would take a long time for his sword and halberd to regain their former form .

Sungyoon looked at Russell and Bruce . Their weapons were in similar states . Several locations on their armor had melted thanks to the poison, but the poison had not been able to reach their flesh .

After confirming that the two men were fine, Sungyoon took up his unharmed ax .

‘I have to end this . ’

The poison from the ax wouldn’t work, but he could physically damage her with the weapon .

He could use either the ax or the hammer . However, if he used the hammer, blood could splash everywhere due to the explosion and lead to a catastrophe .

Sungyoon summoned his shield and kept it in front of him as he approached Glaia . Russell and Bruce walked with him just in case something bad happened .

Glaia raised her head . Her face had been buried in the dirt of the moon and her blood, making her look miserable .

She had lost the battle, and she was about to lose her life . Yet, she acted as if something great had happened . She was laughing; it was a terrifying, yet odd laugh .

Sungyoon brought his ax down on her head . Glaia’s head split into two as blood fountained forth .

The three men retreated once again .

Glaia had used her arm to hold her upper body . As her split head fell to the ground, her upper body buckled again . Then, her body started disintegrating . She melted away, and her melted flesh ate away at the ground, releasing toxic gas into the air .

If the Moon contained air, the lifeforms near this place would’ve instantly died .

After Kevil, another officer of the monsters had died . The trio of Sungyoon, Russell, and Bruce had killed Glaia . It was another step toward humanity’s victory, yet the three felt leery .

‘It was way too easy . ’

Even though they were strong, they shouldn’t have been able to kill an officer so easily . Moreover, the other monsters had shown no intentions of helping Glaia even when she was in grave danger .

This troubled the three men .

Above all else . . .

‘Why did she laugh before she was about to die?’

Sungyoon frowned and looked at the location where Glaia’s corpse had melted away .

***

“Glaia’s dead . ”

His already gloomy voice sounded much more bizarre when it had dipped lower . However, Udocus didn’t care that his voice caused discomfort to the others .

“Two of the three officers our great creator created are dead now . ”

This news chipped away at his greatness . It was sacrilege .

“However, their deaths won’t be for naught . Their deaths will allow our master to be reborn in a more perfect environment!”

Udocus brought his staff down on the ground, and the nearby monsters growled in response .

“Let us start! With their sacrifice as the background, let us gather blood, souls, and power in one place . Let us put those foolish humans, who are celebrating their victory, in their place!”

Udocus’s red eyes shone within his robe .
