Requiem Of A Failed Hero



Kortopi stretched his hand and grew out a black sword that was just like Crimson's he looked at Jarvis and both of them nodded at each other.

Kortopi had spent the last few minutes doing nothing but watching the wyvern, he was a very keen observer– and that made quite some sense considering his copy abilities. What was not confirmed was whether or not he could copy anything else apart from physical combat skills.

His eyes glowed with a dark shade of flaming red smoke as he darted towards the wyvern that was lower than it initially was in an attempt to be able to reach them.

Jarvis followed after him with his long sword poised to strike, Crimson who was until a moment ago beside Raith took off into the air bastardizing the ground with a massive impact as his foot ascended.

Raith watched as they attacked the wyvern in unison, an attack that was coordinated with Kortopi at the center of it, the two followed his trails and caused an incredible synchronization that Raith was jealous of.

While Kortopi was in charge of the lead attack, Jarvis was a great support role and did not hesitate to fill in Kortopi's blind spot, it was like he was the eyes where Kortopi could not see, just like when he and Raith were fighting Thard-Harl.

'He is incredibly skilled.'

Seeing Jarvis so experienced only made Raith wonder more and more about what he was before dying. Whether it is as a lead attacker or a support, Jarvis never lacked in any role in battle and always made that role seem extraordinary with his incredible judgmental skills. His sword fight was also very incredible.

Crimson was also to be commended, to be able to follow through with the two of them despite this being his official first boss fight. His skills did seem bland at some point but Raith was still amazed by what he was seeing.

Only if their opponent was not crazy strong.

The wyvern chuckled with a low rumble emanating from his throat, "Is that all you have to offer? Think not, that you will defeat me with such inferior sword plays."

The sneered at them and opened its mouth. Energy particles began to gather at the tip of its opened mouth and fire began to form.

They didn't need a tome of knowledge to know that whatever the wyvern was doing was bound to be incredibly dangerous.

As the monster let out a deafening roar, the three of them jumped away with all their might. But their efforts proved futile as the monster launched a devastating cone of fire, turning the earth to ash and engulfing everything in its path.

"Ah, shit..." Raith muttered as he saw his dark energy points go down by a turn due to their regeneration.

The Wyvern was all-powerful but so was he.

"All my status, all the stuff that is supposed to boast my stat, none of them is working, is this not a scam? I am suicidal and the status I got from book of requiems when I am fighting to protect, what is all this?" He complained.

As he opened his mouth to complain again another cone of fire blasted at him and consumed him completely.

"Hunter Raven??!!!..." Mok Jae-Hwa shouted stretching his hands like one reaching out to his lost love.

"What are you doing?!" Shin-Hye asked with a harsh tone. They had gotten as far away from the scene as they could and had come to shamelessly agree that in a battle like this, they are only a distraction to Raith and his companions.

But Mok Jae-Hwa still wanted to help, he still pressed about doing something despite knowing how inadequate it will be, and even after knowing that Raith can't die, he is still sorrowful as he was consumed by the fire, stretching out his hand like he was about to receive his lost love.

That heroic personality of his was one thing Shin-Hye just can't get over.

"I know you will say it is useless but we have to do something. I am a disaster-rank hunter. I am not allowed to feel so useless, I haven't even been active since we came to this gate." Mok Jae-Hwa tabled to her.

She folded her arms in defiance, "Fine you can do whatever you want but if you die that's on you. Of all those people that have been there, none of them can die but once you step in there, you won't survive that fire blast, or when the wyvern crushes you. You won't survive that, you will die. Yes, death final lap, that's it for you. I won't stop you since it is your will but I also won't allow you to drag the others into this."

Mok Jae-Hwa stood upright, his face became straight as he looked at Shin-Hye who was dead serious. It occurred to him that she was trying to prevent him from going to preserve his life, but she was bad at expressions.

"I understand. I won't endanger the life of others, not even mine too. I will come back safe and sound." He said to her.

"If Hyung is going then I'm going to." Sung Min interrupted.

"Oppa?" Yujin cried.

"I'm sorry Yujin. Hyung is right, we can't let that new hunter keep doing all the work. You guys should stay safe."

"That is unfair, I want to join too." Shin protested.

"Have you seen yourself?" Sung Min replied to him, taking a look at him from up to down. He was extremely exhausted and with bruises all over his body. Yeon-Woo and Ga-Yun were sitting on the floor with their legs bandaged, they couldn't say anything and just hit their lips, hiding their face with a bow.

Mok Jae-Hwa patted Shin-Hye's head, making her blush.

"I love you... I will be back in a jiffy." He said and turned to where the massive wyvern was standing deflecting the fast and blurry strikes from Kortopi, Jarvis, and Crimson.
