Bloodhound’s Regression Instinct

Chapter 44

Yan’s eyes widened as he saw the bald giant.

‘A Great Warrior?’

He was called a chieftain now, but after Vila united the barbarian tribes and established a kingdom, he was known as a ‘Great Warrior’.

Twenty Great Warriors.

The bald giant in front of him was one of the Great Warriors that Yan remembered, since he had devised all kinds of strategies to kill Vila.

Great Warrior Habur.

When Yan was a special squad leader, he had seen him fight on par with a fourth-class knight, who was called a superhuman…

‘He must be at least at the edge of the fifth-class by now!’

Yan shouted at Sabo, who was staring at Habur from afar.

“Shoot the signal flare right now!”

Sabo fired the signal flare, either because he heard the urgency in Yan’s voice, or because he knew that the enemy was the chieftain.

Squeak- Boom!

A bright red flame exploded in the sky with a loud bang.

Habur looked at the ruined village and the dead tribesmen, and let out another roar.

Kraaaah!

Then.

Thud!

He kicked the ground hard and charged towards the direction where Cruel and the knight were standing.

It felt like a train was coming at them with a tremendous force, and Cruel had no idea how to avoid it.

Only the knight, who had more combat experience, reacted to Habur’s movement.

The knight swung his sword, which was imbued with sword energy, as soon as Habur entered his range.

Clang!

A deafening noise that was hard to believe was made by a weak sword and a sword with sword energy colliding echoed.

The snow that was piled up between them burst out due to the aftermath of the fight.

“Kugh!”

The knight let out an uncomfortable groan.

Cruel, who saw the situation from close by, opened his eyes wide.

The sword that the knight swung could not cut Habur’s head.

The sword with sword energy could not even scratch his skin!

Was the bald giant’s body made of steel?

Cruel spat out a curse at the unbelievable sight.

“Shit.”

Habur glared at the knight with his bloodshot eyes, and punched his abdomen.

Thwack!

The knight’s waist bent like a letter C.

Then, Habur twisted his body around his left foot as a pivot, and swung his blood-stained foot at the knight’s head.

Clang!

The knight’s body flew through the hut and landed far away.

“Bas!”

Lorena shouted the knight’s name.

But the knight’s face, who fell with the hut, was half buried.

His chest seemed to be slightly shaking, so he might not have stopped breathing.

Lorena bit her lips, and then poured mana into her sword.

She aimed at Habur with her sword, which had a slightly dark light, and the sword energy of the Dark Shadow.

She was not the only one.

“Is this bastard even human?”

Cruel also gripped his sawtooth sword tightly, and glared at Habur with a serious face.

Charl also had a stiff expression, and was ready to rush in at any moment.

But Habur did not seem to be in a defensive position at all.

His bloodshot eyes scanned the surroundings, as if he was looking at a flock of sheep as a wolf.

Habur stomped the ground and ran towards the knights who were gathered on one side.

The knights tried to form a defensive line to block Habur’s charge, but.

Habur ignored the sword swings with sword energy, and punched the knights’ hearts, abdomens, or faces.

The knights could not withstand his blows, and fell one by one.

[You won’t be able to avoid a hard time against that bald guy.]

Momon chuckled in his head.

Yan’s eyes sank.

The barbarian Great Warriors were different from the knights, as they used various weapons besides swords.

Axes, whips, fists, swords, blades, greatswords, clubs…

As far as Yan remembered, the bald giant, Habur’s specialty was bato (fighting).

That is, his whole body was a weapon.

And instead of a crest, he had a tattoo called a gimon, which he used to wield mana.

In Habur’s case, the tattoo on his head was the gimon.

While most knights used a crest and a mana road, that is, a bloodline, to manifest mana externally.

That gimon thing made the skin and muscles react to mana, and achieved explosive physical enhancement internally.

It might look like a combination of ‘hard body technique’ and ‘body enhancement’ of the ninth-class knights, but.

‘They are different.’

How could the body enhancement using the mana road and the enhancement by stuffing mana into the skin and muscles be the same?

Yan bit his lips.

It was a completely different situation from the disciples of the mad sword, who knew the clear and exploitable weaknesses beforehand.

The Great Warrior in front of him was a pure fighter.

He had to win with pure skill, without any luck.

He was the most difficult opponent for Yan right now.

‘And the fact that his skin has such a deep red color means that he has reached a level where it is hard to cut him with any sword energy.’

There was only one answer.

‘Avoid close combat until the Black Armor squad leader arrives.’

As he was making a plan step by step.

Shiver.

He felt a chill down his spine.

Yan immediately ran towards Lorena.

‘’

He used magic as well as the light body technique.

He used two skills at once, and it felt like his head was burning.

But fortunately, he was able to grab Lorena’s collar in time.

Squeeze.

“What are you doing…!”

He rolled on the ground with Lorena, without giving her a chance to answer.

Clang!

A huge hole appeared where Lorena had been standing.

Above it, Habur was pounding his fist into the ground, steaming all over his body.

“Get a hold of yourself, you almost died.”

Yan got up, leaving Lorena with a dazed face.

Then, he pulled out a sword from his waist.

Whoosh.

It started to ring from the mana heart, and the sun and the moon resonated.

Swoosh.

-Krrr.

A wolf with black fur appeared, waving its mane.

He even summoned the Black Shadow Wolf, which he had been saving.

But he still could not relax.

The enemy was such that this was not enough to win.

No, could he even survive?

‘I might have to reveal my magic.’

Habur walked out of the hole, grinding his teeth.

“My family. My tribesmen. They’re dead.”

There was no energy visible on the outside due to the nature of the ‘gimon’, but an unknown pressure crushed him.

Habur looked at each of them who surrounded him.

As if he would engrave them in his eyes.

“So. You too. Die. Painfully.”

As soon as Habur kicked the ground, Yan shouted.

“Get down!”

At his words, Cruel quickly lay down on the ground.

Ssssh!

Habur’s fierce kick tore the air above him.

When Cruel raised his head.

Habur was in a posture to crush Cruel, who was lying down, with his foot, with a malicious face.

“Black Shadow Wolf!”

At Yan’s shout, the Black Shadow Wolf melted into the shadow, and appeared in a flash at Habur’s shoulder.

Grrr!

Even though the Black Shadow Wolf bit his shoulder, Habur did not seem to care, and grabbed the Black Shadow Wolf’s mouth.

-Crack, snap!

The Black Shadow Wolf, which could turn into a shadow at any time, could not escape from Habur’s hand, which contained mana in his arm.

“You. Bastard.”

Habur wrapped his other arm around the Black Shadow Wolf’s neck, and then.

He slammed it into the ground.

Boom!

The snow-covered ground cracked.

The Black Shadow Wolf, which fell on it, turned into a black mist and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Yan, who had carried Cruel on his shoulder and moved away from Habur, bit his tongue.

‘He couldn’t even last a few seconds.’

This was a complete monster.

He had not many ways to deal with him, as he had not recovered his old strength.
