CHAPTER 13

"Wh-Who in the heck are you ?" said one of the guards in a scared manner

"None of your business" said Jin-hyuk in a cold voice completely different from how he was talking to Seol-ah and Deok-gu.

"Don't get too cocky" said the guard who was preferably the strongest amongst the three

"Oh yeah , come at me" Jin-hyuk said while he released his aura

The guards were feeling supressed but they didn't back down . One of the them charged at Jin-hyuk with his sword . They clashed but the man was pushed back . He didn't even see when Jin-hyuk blocked the attack and charged at him . He was surprised to see Jin-hyuk holding a dagger instead of a sword .

This made the men more angry as they charged at him together and got kicked apart one by one . Jin-hyuk was keeping his calm composure

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Glacier Formation(EX)] activated

Jin-hyuk raised his hand as the surrounding started to cool down at a very fast rate . Ice started forming around and Jin-hyuk made 3 ice spears which charged towards the men with lightning speed . The spear managed to pierce through two of them and one was barely able to block the attack. The man stopped gasping for air as he mumbled

"M-Monster"

Jin-hyuk pierced his chest with another ice spear before heading towards the door of the room they were hiding with Seol-ah and Deok-gu .

"You are truly amazing Oppa"

"Don't be so surprised Ms.Seol-ah . This boy was not normal even before he awakened" said Deok-gu in a teasing voice

A nerve popped up on Jin-hyuk's head as he punched Deok-gu on his head making him groan .

"Hey dude , I was just kidding"

"Stop your bullshit and get moving"

All of them were ready standing in their positions for attack . Seol-ah took out her sword as she was ready keeping it up , Deok-gu also took out his twin dagger being ready for combat. Jin-hyuk just gave a smile as he kicked the door slamming it open .

The inside of the room were dark , it was coloured in a red light . There were atleast more than 70 people there and in the exact front was a man wearing a black cape and a mask which had horns on it growing backward toward his head . That was the leader which Jin-hyuk understood in a second but the thing which confused him the most is the bright red magic circle on the wall just above the people

"Welcome our offerings . You shall be sacrificed to our demon to summon it here" said a old man

"You scumbags are calling a demon here ?" said Jin-hyuk in an angry tone

"Oh, don't be so angry . After all , our lord likes fresh sacrifices so please give up your rage "

"Old Man , you don't seem to know . Today this is the end " said Jin-hyuk in a cold voice

" It is you who will die today " said the old man

Jin-hyuk charged towards the old man as the leader was watching not bothering to make actions . The old man cast a fire magic spell which Jin-hyuk easily slashed through . As the smoke cleared the man was nowhere to be seen . The old man landed near the big magic circle on the wall and the leader gives him a nod.

Suddenly , the circle starts to glow as the man starts to mumble somethings which felt like incantations . They room became more dark as many blood strings came out of the circle and wrapped around all the demonic humans and started to suck their lifeforce .

As the sucking completed the lifeless bodies of all the demonic humans fell on the ground . Everyone present there gasped except for Jinhyuk . He knew that killing all the demonic humans would be a pain so he can't help but feel a little relaxed as the old man sucked all the life force of those men .

The old man shouted " Please descend in the world of mortals almighty demon of the 5th Hell "

"5-5th hell !?!? " screamed Seol-ah

"What's the matter with 5th Hell ?" asked Deok-gu

"5th Hell is the realm just above the realm of 6th Hell . The beasts in 5th Hell are mostly legendary class which are difficult for even S-Rank hunters to defeat" said Jinhyuk

"So , what do we do know ?" asked Seol-ah

"I don't know , but I gu-"

Jinhyuk was about to complete what he was saying but suddenly the ground started to tremble . The magic circle in the wall was completely destroyed as a demon came out of it . The demon had red eyes and horns around its head . His appearance was that of a human but his body was fully red and had a kind of armored shell .

"Oh no , out of all demons , why this one ??" said Seol-ah

"Why what's wrong with this one ?" asked Deok-gu

"Leviathan , The ruler of 5th Hell and one of demon king's top generals ." said Jinhyuk

"Oh shit " muttered Deok-gu

They were talking when they saw that the demon started to levitate and flew at a very high speed towards the top as he broke through the buildings . It was not long after that they heard screams all around the top . It was like the city is in chaos .

"No, it is released in the city " said Seol-ah

"I have a plan . Deok-gu search for the leader and that old man here and Seol-ah go upstairs and help the civilians to evacuate and contact the associations" said Jin-hyuk as he took out his sword from his inventory and started walking towards the demon

"But what will you do oppa ?" asked Seol-ah ( a bit of concern in her voice)

" I will have to stop it . Now go"

Jinhyuk said as he started to run towards the demon with full speed .

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Sword Demon King Steps (SSS)] activated

-[Skill : Grave of Swords (SSS)] activated

Jinhyuk jumped as he used the rubbles as stairs to climb up and reached outside . He saw that the demon was attacking the whole city as it was on fire . Jin-hyuk didn't waste any moment as he rushed towards the demon .

Leviathan was walking as he realised that it was not hell and this made him very angry . He continued to attack as he went on a rampage . He was about to blast of a child but her mother grabbed her and fell down hugging her . Leviathan raised his hand as he released his red beam towards them and it blasted but as soon as the smoke settled Leviathan saw that they mother and her daughter were safe as they were covered in a mana shield protecting them . Both the mother and daughter were surprised but then Leviathan heard a voice from behind

"Planning to kill a precious family ? Too bad"

Leviathan turned back as he saw a man with a sword was calmly walking towards him . It was Jinhyuk . The people standing at the back and both the mother and her daughter looking surprised but having a sense of relief .

"It's the hunters"

"The Association has send hunters to help us "

"Hey isn't that Sung Jinhyuk ?"

"Yeah you are right . It is the S-Rank hunter Sung Jinhyuk"

This was the type of chatting coming from around . Jinhyuk looked around and said

"If you all want to life run towards the center of the city . You all will be able to meet Ms.Cha Seol-ah there"

Everyone got up and rushed towards the center . Leviathan was now standing calmly and staring at Jinhyuk .

"Are you the one who called me here ?" said Leviathan (his voice deep as If it would tear the soul apart)

"I am not the one who called you but I definitely am the one who will stop you" said Jinhyuk calmly

"Oh , is it" Leviathan said as he released his red , murderous mana around the air creating immense pressure

"Yeah" Jinhyuk as he also released his blue , icy cold mana around the air

The mana they were emitting was enough to destroy all the buildings around with the pressure alone and it certainly happened .

Leviathan and Jinhyuk stared at each other as they started walking . Suddenly , Leviathan vanished from Jinhyuk's face

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Eye of Gluttony (SSS)] activated

Jinhyuk saw his trajectory as he dodged the attack . Leviathan continued to attack Jinhyuk but he was dodging every attack effortlessly , this frustated Leviathan . He then used magic to attack as blood tentacles released from his hand rushed towards Jinhyuk . He was able to dodge but there was a slight cut on his cheeks as his face started to become numb .

"This is one of the most venomous poison from the 6th hell . No matter the person , he will perish in 10 seconds"

Leviathan started to laugh frantically but Jinhyuk was just standing there not moving an inch .

-Ti-ting

-[Skill : Infinite Regeneration(SSS)] activated

Jinhyuk's wound started to heal as his blood purified and eliminated the poison . Leviathan was shocked and was standing dumbfounded .

"H-How is this p-possible ?" said Leviathan in a shaky voice

"You can't kill me . I am an opponent who is far stronger than you " said Jinhyuk in a calm voice

"If you think that then you are mistaken"

Leviathan said as he started to release his mana around in the atmosphere . His body started to change as he released his demonic energy along with his mana . The horns on his head extended backwards as his eyes turned complete red and his aura spread through as it shattered the buildings .

Jinhyuk was still standing still as the demon started coming towards him . Leviathan vanished before Jinhyuk and he was also shocked because Leviathan's speed increased by atleast 70% . Jinhyuk gritted his teeth as he felt that his surrounding temperature was rising . Jinhyuk looked up and saw that leviathan had extended his arm as he was about to release his fire attack .

"HELLFLAME" said Leviathan

He shouted as the fire released from his hand and rushed downwards towards Jinhyuk . In a moment of time , the area was covered in flames which was hot enough to melt even the hardest substance in a matter of seconds .

The people and hunters who were watching Jinhyuk gasped in horror as Jinhyuk was engulped in flames .

Deok-gu and Seol-ah were also shocked along with the guildmasters of the top 6 guilds of Korea which is now 5 because of the absence of Dawn Guild .

Leviathan who was levitating on the ground was laughing as he turns towards the safety camps . All the hunters were ready to fight him but suddenly the ground started to shake . Everyone was confused and surprised on this sudden movement . Seol-ah who was standing in midst the crowd beside Deok-gu felt the sudden chill in weather most quickly as her senses were hightened 50 times more than a normal S-Rank Hunter . Slowly , everyone felt the chill as the place which was engulped in fire just few moments ago completely freezed as ice spikes pointed out of them . Leviathan was also surprised and shocked to see this . 

The ice crumbled and broke revealing the place as a figure started to rise high up in the sky . That figure had bluish white hair which was blowing due to the wind . His clothes were white . The figure slowly looked up revealing to none other than Jinhyuk . He started to glare at Leviathan with his now blue eyes which looked more beautiful than even the most beautiful scene in the world .
