I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 88: Demolished

Chapter 88: Demolished

The sound of raindrops and cloudy weather made the atmosphere at Incheon airport a little frowzy.

It was deserted and cold, hardly a sight of people wandering around. There was Chairman Yu and several other S-rank hunters in front of the airport. South Korean Apex-ranked hunter Kim Hyun-bin was also among the group. There were eight hunters in total with an extraordinary lineup.

All the high-ranking hunters entered the airport waiting room and saw Ma Dong-seok sitting alone. There was no one else in the waiting area. Everyone had got evacuated, and Incheon airport completely stopped operating.

“Did you need to do something unnecessary like this just to see me, Old Man?”

“Give up. There’s no need for a fight. If you obey, I won’t hand you over to the International Hunter Association.”

Haha–

“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. I didn’t know you could joke, Old Man. If you’re hoping that Bin~ie can hold me back, you’re wrong.”

Ma Dong-seok got up from his seat. He didn’t use his Mana Presence and only emitted killing intent. However, it was enough to crack the spot where he was standing and lift the rubble off the ground.

Around five S-rank hunters use their Mana Presence and spread out to surround Dong-seok.

“Well. Now, I finally get to see how our Apex-ranked hunter fights.”

“That’s true.”

It was the first time that Cho Gang-ho and Oh Dal-sik could witness the power of an Apex-ranked hunter.

“If he can use Manifestation Magic. Don’t use magic spells of long duration. Just use outburst magic.

“Also, it’s better to focus the Mana on increasing physical strength and keeping our vitality as fresh as possible.”

“Noted.”

“Alright!”

“I heeded your advice.”

All the hunters on the South Korean side launched their Mana Presence and broke the entire floor of the airport waiting room.

Boom!

Kaboom!

A big explosion occurred, destroying a part of the airport lounge. The dust cloud subsided because of the rain before it had time to obscure everyone’s vision.

At the time of the clash, Hyun-bin directly collided with Dong-seok with his Great Shield. And the other hunters cast their outburst magic spells at Dong-seok.

Dong-seok didn’t dodge or back off. Instead, he used an elemental barrier of Water and Wind magic, repelling all magic spells that came his way. It caused an instant explosion because of the block.

But, the elemental barrier got shattered by Hyun-bin’s Great Shield before the aftermath of the explosion receded. It also pushed Dong-seok back, widening the gap between the South Korean hunters and the traitor.

Hyun-bin didn’t want to let Dong-seok have time to recuperate. He planned to keep the pressure intense and exhaust the traitor. He leaped forward and closed the distance between them. He swung his Great Sword from the right side.

The other S-rank hunters also didn’t stay behind and charged toward Dong-seok together.

Dong-seok clicked his tongue and used his Mana Presence to block the Great Sword’s slash to his left. He also stopped the second strike from Gang-ho with his right foot.

He then held Hyun-bin’s Great Sword with his right hand and swung it at Gang-ho on the right side.

Hyun-bin bumped into Kang-ho to the ground.

Dong-seok roared and jumped at the rest of the hunters that were rushing at him. Chairman Yu cast a magic spell at him from the ground.

Chairman Yu’s hands shone and emitted flames that covered them. He swung his arms, and flame whips shot out, extending toward Dong-seok.

Dong-seok, still in the air, clapped his palms, and Chairman Yu’s flame whips were gone.

The flames instead headed toward his hand, and a medium-sized circle of flames got formed. He threw that medium circle flames at Chairman Yu, causing a small explosion.

He landed on the ground but was met with sword thrusts by Dal-sik. He broke Dal-sik’s top-class sword with both forearms after dodging those attacks a few times in a relaxed manner. And he delivered a kick on the stomach after it.

Bang!

The remaining four hunters got crushed by Dong-seok with ease. Their magic also got countered so hard that they couldn’t put any real strain on Dong-seok.

Every kick and punch landed flawlessly to where it got meant to be. Not a single one got wasted.

Dong-seok stood and looked at the hunters sprawled on the ground like a monarch after defeating his opponents. He then raised both his hands up. The earth shook, and the wet debris floated up. The rain stopped for a moment, and a tremendous thunderbolt came crashing down on him.

Zrrt!

Boom!

A large explosion occurred. But, it got quelled by an enormous blazing fire. The cloud of dust that appeared afterward was alleviated by the rain again.

All South Korean hunters saw a frightening apparition after the dust cloud dissipated.

Dong-seok appeared while wrapped in fire and lightning. His appearance was ferocious, like a hybrid beast on a rampage with flames enveloping his body and streams of lightning flickering around him.

There was steam surrounding him as water from the rain bumped his shell of fire. The rain also made the lightning sparks radiate because of the water droplets.

Dong-seok ran off with that fire and lightning form. It was terrifying when an S-rank hunter faced the impending attack head-on. It made his legs weak and powerless to dodge.

Thud!

Luckily, the attack that came from the form of fire and lightning got stopped. Hyun-bin’s Great Shield blocked it with his light magic that made the shield shine brightly to repel the fire and lighting effect.

Hyun-bin slashed his Great Sword. But, that’s not enough to push Dong-seok back. He kept swinging his Great Sword, and Dong-seok blocked it with his hands as well. They kept exchanging blow after blow like that until Hyun-bin cast powerful wind magic that burst out from the Great Shield. The magic was enough to hit and push Dong-seok back some distance away.

“F*ck*ng shit! Taste this!”

Dong-seok hovered in the air with his arms outstretched. His fire and lighting form disappeared. Suddenly, above his head appeared hundreds of fire and lightning elements in the shape of a sword.

Hyun-bin widened his eyes and instantly stomped the lower end of his Great Shield into the ground. He yelled toward the other S-rank hunters.

“Gather around me! Now!”

Chairman Yu, Gang-ho, Dal-sik, and the other S-rank hunters came to their senses after hearing the scream. They all tried to move quickly, getting closer to Hyun-bin.

A thin transparent shield appeared with Hyun-bin as the center. The protection was made of light magic and was large enough to accommodate 12 people.

Dong-seok raised one hand up and gestured down like pulling a lever.

Hundreds of swords formed with the elements of fire and lightning rained down on the ground like a hail of arrows in the midst of war.

Tzep, Tzep–

Boom! Boom!

Dong-seok landed on the ground after a minute of the strike. He stared intently at the light shield. The area around the protection got utterly destroyed, while everything inside it was fine.

Chairman Yu asked, “Is everyone okay?” However, he saw two S-rank hunters pierced by the swords on the right shoulder and left leg when he turned around.

The two S-rank hunters gasped and seemed to be whimpering slightly in pain. Their eyes looked dim. They couldn’t pull out the elemental sword because every time they touched it. It would hurt their hands.

Chairman Yu looked between Hyun-bin and Dong-seok. He wanted to ask Hyun-bin for help. At the same time, he knew there was an enemy in front of them. They could not afford to look away in such a dangerous battle. But, the two hunters would probably suffer if they didn’t get any help soon. It would also lead to the possible loss of two S-rank hunters.

Hyun-bin could understand Chairman Yu’s worried face. “I can’t help them. I might be able to pull it out. But, to treat it, you need a true healer for it.” He raised his Great Shield off the ground and stood in front of all the S-rank hunters. He couldn’t let his guard down a bit because he was the only one who could keep up with Dong-seok.

“So annoying! I’m still in a foul mood. How about all of you just die here today by my hands!? That’s not a bad idea either.”

Dong-seok took a step forward, and Hyun-bin tightened his grip on the Great Shield and Great Sword.

Out of the blue, a private plane landed at Incheon airport that was already half destroyed.

Both Dong-seok and Hyun-bin shifted their attention toward the private plane, wondering who had the gall to land in the tattered airport.

A woman with blonde hair and a body like a model showed up when the private plane door opened. She descended the plane stairs and stood up straight.

The blonde woman had Divine Rapiers on each side of her waist. She then spoke fluent English.

“Let’s get out of here. We don’t have much time. There’s something more important than this trivial matter, Pride.”
