Bloodhound’s Regression Instinct

Chapter 45

A small cave that barely avoided the snow.

Habur was gasping for breath inside it.

“Vile and despicable imperial bastards!”

He clenched his back with his hand and cursed the knights and trainees in his tribal language.

The dagger that Yan had thrown was stained purple where it had pierced him.

It would have been nothing if it was a normal dagger, but…

“They used poison!”

The dagger that Yan had shot had poison on it.

At this moment, Habur’s breath was rough and his head was spinning.

If he had continued to fight there, the poison would have spread throughout his body and killed him.

Habur twisted his waist and began to neutralize the poison gas with the mana in his blood and muscles.

Cold sweat ran down his forehead.

They had used a very strong poison.

It was then.

Habur’s body twitched.

His sharp and sensitive senses detected another presence in the cave besides himself.

“Did you run away this far? You didn’t get very far, did you?”

A young man’s voice came.

A familiar voice. He had been fighting with him until a while ago.

Habur opened his eyes with difficulty.

But his eyes trembled uncontrollably.

“Cowardly, despicable. Imperial bastard.”

Habur stopped neutralizing and pushed himself up from the ground.

Yan shook his head as he saw him.

He had made a crude poison with a few ingredients he had gathered on the way, but it was not weak at all.

But he was already recovering this much without any antidote.

“I don’t want to fight. Just tell me a few things and I’ll let you go.”

“Let me go. Me. You?”

Habur gritted his teeth.

The guy who had lost to him four to one just now was saying he would let him go.

He couldn’t even laugh.

Yan watched Habur quietly and asked something else.

“Do you know about Villa?”

At that moment, Habur’s eyes sank.

“Let’s make a better world together, Habur!”

It was the name of his benefactor who had saved his tribe from the cold and hunger ten years ago, and who was now called the Great Chief.

Snort!

Habur snorted.

Yan shrugged his shoulders at that.

He could see that he already knew by that reaction.

“Where is that guy now…”

Before Yan could finish his sentence.

Bang!

Habur, who was covered in blood, charged at him.

He was not even in the state of transcendence, but he showed such a sight, which meant he was pushing himself.

‘Did he make up his mind to die?’

He didn’t know if he had decided he couldn’t run away anymore, or if it was his loyalty to Villa, or his explosion over losing his tribesmen.

He couldn’t tell.

‘No, did they all explode at once?’

Yan leaped back and stretched out his hand.

“”

As Yan chanted, mana was sucked out of his mana heart.

Then mana began to weave a magic circle on the ground.

Boom!

The ground rose up.

A thick stone wall that looked thick at a glance.

A stone wall that was at least as thick as an adult’s body, so a poisoned Habur couldn’t easily break it…

Crash!

Contrary to Yan’s thought, Habur broke the stone wall very quickly.

‘He broke it so easily.’

Yan clicked his tongue at the sight of Habur charging like a bull.

Habur, who had broken the stone wall and came out, kicked the fragments in the air and shot them at Yan.

Yan drew his sword from his waist and knocked or deflected the flying fragments.

Every time he knocked out a fragment, his palm felt like it was tearing from the force in it.

Eventually, he had to avoid the ones he couldn’t block.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fragments that Yan avoided hit the cave wall with a loud noise.

Yan jumped on the fragments stuck in the cave wall and ran along the wall.

Habur followed him with a fierce momentum.

Yan took out a few daggers and threw them at Habur with his fingers.

Whoosh!

With a strong gesture from Habur, the daggers fell weakly.

But.

‘That’s enough.’

He had thrown the daggers to distract Habur’s attention for a moment.

As soon as Habur swung his hand, Yan put strength in his feet.

Crack!

One of his legs sank into the wall.

It looked like a mistake at first glance, but it was an action to use the wall as a support.

Yan pulled out a faint gray sword thread from his sword and swung it at Habur, who was rushing in.

Habur’s eyes widened slightly and crossed his arms in an X shape.

Clang!

A metallic sound burst as the place where Habur was standing collapsed.

It was a blow that took into account not only Habur but also the terrain.

‘It’s not enough.’

But it was enough to buy some time.

Yan immediately drew mana from his mana heart and resonated it with the moon.

Whoosh!

A black ripple rose on the sword.

It was the precursor phenomenon of the Black Shadow Sword.

『Black Shadow Sword 1st Form – Nasty』

The black net that poured out of the sword wrapped around Habur, who was rushing in with blood.

The process of the shadow swallowing Habur was very smooth.

But.

Yan felt his head spinning for a moment.

It was dizziness caused by Habur’s strong resistance inside.

And not long after, something strange happened to the black net that wrapped Habur.

A red hand popped out of the black net.

And then.

Zzzz!

The Nasty was torn in half with a sound of tough leather ripping.

In the meantime, Habur revealed himself with his eyes full of blood.

“Hoo-hoo. Hoo-hoo.”

Habur was also bleeding from his hands and arms, and purple spots that looked like symptoms of poison began to appear all over his body.

Yan wiped the blood from his mouth and prepared his next move.

In the meantime.

[Why don’t you try using what I taught you? Isn’t that enough destructive power to send that guy to hell?]

Momon chuckled in his head and asked.

Yan bit his lip.

Momon was talking about the grand magic.

It was the magic that Momon, who claimed to be the peak of magic himself, had taught him after modifying it to suit Yan’s physique.

But Yan hesitated to use that magic.

First of all, it took a long time to cast that magic.

‘And I don’t know what this bastard did to it…’

He couldn’t easily try ‘that’ when he remembered the things that Momon had done to take over his body when he learned magic from him before.

More than anything, it didn’t seem necessary to take the risk when he saw Habur’s physical condition.

If he just dragged the time…

“Kraaaaaa!”

Yan hardened his face and regretted his careless thought.

As time passed, he should have suffered from the symptoms of poisoning and mana deficiency.

But Habur, who staked his life force and life, became more violent and crazy than before.

Yan avoided Habur, who clung to him persistently, and widened the distance while waving his hand.

Papapak!

The three daggers that Yan threw flew towards Habur’s forehead and eyes.

Ting!

But it was impossible to pierce Habur’s skin, which was enhanced by his body.

Habur sneered at Yan’s meaningless action and started to stick closer.

Eventually.

Gwak.

“Rat. I got you.”

Yan’s clothes were caught by Habur’s ferocious grip.

If he slammed him to the ground like this, this rat would die with his whole body shattered.

Habur thought so and grabbed Yan’s clothes and twisted his waist.

Then something caught his eye.

A blue magic circle engraved on the ground.

“…!”

Yan smiled as he was grabbed by the neck.

Then he reached out and blew his mana into the magic circle.

“!”

The magic circle began to rotate and cause a phenomenon.

Zezerezek.

The ice thorns that sprang from the magic circle pierced Habur’s thighs, abdomen, and shoulders.

He couldn’t even strengthen his body because it was an unexpected attack.

Kwajik!

The ice thorns pierced Habur’s body.

Eudeuk.

Blood flowed down the ice thorns.

Habur endured the pain and gritted his teeth.

But his grip on Yan’s neck weakened.

Peuk!

Yan kicked Habur’s body and somersaulted in the air.

Then he stepped on the wall of the cave and drew mana from his mana heart.

The mana passed through the sun and the moon, and amplified several times to fill Yan’s body.

Momon laughed as he realized what Yan was trying to do.

[Khat! You finally accepted my help!]

“Shut up.”

Yan ignored Momon’s nonsense and focused his mind.

He drew a very destructive image in his mind.

A destructive lightning that could put that violent warrior to sleep!

[Your imagination is poor.]

Momon licked his tongue and something changed in Yan’s hand.

A white magic circle was created on Yan’s hand and rotated very fast.

Yan clenched it and white sparks flew.

Pajijik.

He couldn’t tell if it was pain from the burn or headache from the magic calculation, but agony surged.

Blood dripped from his nose.

But his eyes were still calm.

And then.

〈White Thunder〉

He threw the magic in his hand like a dart at Habur.

A white lightning that looked extraordinary flew at Habur with a threatening momentum.

Pajijijik.

The white energy grew bigger as it flew.

Kwaaaaa-!

It soon grew big enough to break the ground.

Habur’s eyes caught the white lightning flying at him.

There was a light of resignation in his eyes.

He didn’t know what he had done.

But he was not in a state to block that destructive lightning.

The poison had already dyed his whole body, and he had burned all his remaining life force.

‘Great Chief… Please make a good world.’

Habur finished his last wish and.

Kwajijik.

He gave his whole body to the white lightning without resistance.

A large hole was pierced in his upper body, and the inside was completely cooked and smelled of char.

The ice thorns that had pierced him also melted.

Habur’s body, which had nothing to support it, slowly fell back.

Kung.

He lay on the ground with a heavy sound.
