Lucas and Viktor stood at the battlefield. The fight had been turned around after Viktor's appearance. But he was still not in perfect condition.
"What about the others?" Lucas took off his torn hoodie, wearing a simple half-sleeve black shirt.
"Alive. All of them. The healer's up and is currently doing her work, the Korean ones are quite injured, especially Seokjin. His body's hella wrecked." Viktor huffed, cracking his neck.
Lucas sighed and ran his hand over his head. His silky long hair came just at his eye level, he then flopped it back again.
"Well, at least the healer's up. We should buy some more time and try to exhaust him. There's no way to beat him normally."
"I hate the fact you are right" Viktor held up his slightly dented shield to his right.
Then, they both turned to where Jinwoo crashed. The debris were enough to crush a normal person. But, "that" was not normal. In. Any. Way.
The debris shifted. Both the hunters tensed.
He was alive. It wasn't a surprise, that monster wouldn't die from just this much.
Lucas took up a battle stance.
In that instance, the world froze. Debris flew, Jinwoo appeared right before Lucas' face, throwing his hand out to grab his face.
Lucas vanished, then reappeared just beside Jinwoo, still floating in the air.
He threw a punch right at Jinwoo's face, but it hit dust.
Then all of a sudden, a huge energy wave flooded and Lucas flew away into a building, the glasses flew in the air like glitter. For a moment, the choas looked almost beautiful, if you removed the reason behind it.
Viktor didn't understand what happened. It all happened too suddenly. He only saw Lucas flying away. He panicked, raising his shield swiftly.
The shield shattered. A force tore through the shield and struck right on his gut.
But Viktor didn't move.
[Skill Activated: Invincible body.]
[Mana usage: 2500]
[You will tank upto 5 attacks of any caliber.]
A sly smirk creeped onto Viktor's face as he finally saw Jinwoo struggling to bore his hand into his stomach. He grabbed Jinwoo with his left hand and charged up a powerful blow with the other— then, he threw it.
But Jinwoo was on a different level. He twisted his body upside down and landed his foot on Viktor's hand — He spun on that hand and threw a kick right at Viktor's face.
But unfortunately, that was of no use. Viktor easily tanked it.
[Skill Activated: Shield dash]
[Mana usage: 1600]
[Dash with your shield on shoulders to increase impact force.]
Viktor did not have a shield. It was broken just a few moments ago. But he had shoulder.
Viktor pushed his entire body with his shoulder on jinwoo, tossing his away like a ragdoll.
Jinwoo bounced on the ground for a time before finally stopping, and staying on the ashy dirt.

Viktor cracked his shoulders before looking down to see a bright tiny reflection. He stared at it for a moment before realising what it was.
"A string..?" He crouched to grab it, but it was too late.
Jinwoo pulled the string with astronomical force and swung his around like a ball, before throwing him into the same building in which Lucas had been sent into.

On the other side, Mira was hurriedly healing the hunters as they laid down injured on the ground.
"Man! First that accomplice guy and now him! What the hell do they even eat? Mana stones?" Minsoo ranted, grabbing his just-healed rib with great care.
Mira looked around for the other injured before realising Ryuzaki was missing. "Hey.. did Ryuzaki go along with Harin and Eunjae?"
"Huh?..." Jiwoo turned.
"...."
No one knew the truth. Ryuzaki just simply disappeared.
"Tch! That's why I hate jap... Wait. I won't get cancelled for saying this right?" Hyuk stopped mid-sentence. He maybe racist, but not an idiot. He knew his ways.

Once again, the bloody and firey battlefield only consisted of one single figure.
Jinwoo.
[980/11000]
[Health points have been lowered to less than 10%]
[Please refrain from fighting]
A green light surrounded jinwoo-then exploded.
[Healing has failed. Your mana has been depleted.]
[950/11000]
[Please refrain from fighting].
...
...
...
[Please refrain from fighting]
The window annoyingly floated right at jinwoo's face. A punch came out of the window, jinwoo instinctively tried to dodge but he was immediately sent flying.
He laid flat on the ground with his body not moving an inch.
Just in front of him stood Ryuzaki. He had ran all the way here just to attack him. And he succeeded.
[580/11000]
[Health points have lowered to a dangerous degree]
[Please..]
And just for a moment, the blue screen glitched. It was desperate. Not for jinwoo's life, but itself too.
