Chapter 49
Chapter 49
‘Can I activate them? That’s the question . ’
He never expected to jump from Purple Gems to Blue Gems . Sungyoon was a low level Connector, so he might destroy the Blue Gems by activating them . Nervousness passed through Sungyoon’s eyes .
Emily was also nervous . She helplessly stamped her feet as she watched Sungyoon . He had suddenly asked for her mace and shield, and she had immediately accepted his reasoning . She had fallen back in fear when faced with the oppressive presence of the Bigfoot . It would be much better for both of them if she handed her weapons over to him . The Blue Gems had been prepared as a last resort, so she could afford to give it up .
However, she had the same worries as Sungyoon . He was a Purple Gem user . Could he activate the Blue Gems? Moreover, it took time to activate Gems for the first time . She wondered if Tim could last that long .
However, Emily’s worries vanished in no time .
“Uh?”
Emily became surprised . A mere 10 seconds had passed, yet Sungyoon was holding the mace and shield in his hands .
‘Thankfully, I was able to activate it . ’
Sungyoon let out a sigh of relief . He tightened his grip on the mace and shield .
“Please continue to support me . ”
After saying those words, Sungyoon ran towards the Bigfoot .
Boom! Boom!
The Bigfoot continued to drive Tim backwards, and his face was gaunt from exhaustion . Sungyoon overclocked the two Gems .
Koo-oohng!
Tim’s shield has numerous cracks as if it would break at any moment . Sungyoon moved in front of Tim to take the Bigfoot’s attack in his stead . A heavy jolt impacted on top of the shield .
‘I survived it!’
The sturdy wooden shield had been reinforced with a steel plate . The rectangular shield was large enough to cover Sungyoon’s body . It did a marvelous job of blocking the Bigfoot’s attack . His overclocked Purple Gem shield had been in rough shape even before the fight, and it had broken without putting up much of a resistance . This was why he had been worried . Fortunately, the Blue Gem shield performed better than he had expected .
“I’ll defend! You should attack, Tim!”
Sungyoon had picked up his name when the siblings had talked to each other . Sungyoon urged him to take action . Tim’s shield was close to breaking, so he wouldn’t be able to defend any longer with his shield .
“Thank you!”
Tim quickly retreated backwards, and he started looking for openings in the Bigfoot’s defense .
Its first prey had finally weakened to a point where it would have been able to complete its hunt . However, a new prey had shown up to put up a fight against it . The Bigfoot was at its wit’s end from the annoyance it felt .
-Ooh-wuhhhhhh!
The Bigfoot executed a fierce attack towards Sungyoon, who had disrupted its hunt . It planned on venting its anger on Sungyoon . Sungyoon silently blocked the attacks . He wanted to counterattack, but it wasn’t the right time .
“Hoo-aht!”
While the Bigfoot was focused on attacking Sungyoon, Tim stealthily approached the Bigfoot from the back . He swung his axe towards the Bigfoot’s hamstring .
Puh-uhk!
Blood sprayed into the air . The axed embedded itself deep into the large thigh of the Bigfoot . It struggled in pain, and it swung its fist towards the one that had caused the pain .
However, Tim had already extracted his axe and retreated to a safe distance . He had learned from his past mistake where he had almost died because he was a bit too slow in extracting his axe .
-Ggoo-uhhhhh!
The Bigfoot didn’t have a plan as it turned its body towards Tim . The wound to its thigh and side had been afflicted by Tim’s axe . It was enough to fan the Bigfoot’s anger . Also, it knew Sungyoon’s attack couldn’t damage it . The Bigfoot had experienced Sungyoon’s pathetic attack .
However, Sungyoon’s attack differed from before .
‘I’m pretty sure this is how you use a mace . ’
Fortunately, one of the weapons that he had learned to use was the mace . He basically only knew how to swing it . However, that would be enough in this situation .
The Bigfoot’s gaze remained completely fixed on Tim . Sungyoon lowered his shield, and he took a big swing with his mace . Of course, his target was the thigh, which had taken damage from Tim’s attack .
Kwah-doohk!
The heavy iron head of the mace impacted on its thigh . It hit the Bigfoot right above the wound where the blood was flowing freely . Of course, the creature was swept up in extreme pain .
-Ggoo-uhhhh!
Its eyes flipped backwards as it rampaged . However, Sungyoon had already retreated out of its attack range .
‘It works!’
It was different from the time when he had attacked with his spear . The big dent in its thigh gave visual proof of his mace’s effectiveness .
This time the Bigfoot tried to run towards Sungyoon .
Limp!
However, the Bigfoot’s body tilted to the side . It was barely able to maintain its balance, and it could no longer move normally . Sungyoon and Tim’s eyes shone .
‘It lost its mobility . ’
The attack inflicted by Sungyoon and Tim had been very effective . The Bigfoot was limping as it moved around, and it was no longer able to utilize its powerful charge .
When the two men made eye contact, they silently nodded to each other . They started to slowly circle around the Bigfoot . They were like two drooling hyenas circling an injured lion .
-Koo-rook! Koo-roo-rook!
It was starting to realize that the prey had become the hunter . The Bigfoot’s roar was filled with anger . However, the two humans were unfazed .
Sungyoon was the first to move . He moved first, because his shield was intact . He was in a better situation than Tim .
Ta-tahk!
Sungyoon raised his shield and he charged towards the Bigfoot .
-Koo-ahhhng!
The wrinkled face looked back and forth between the two, and it punched towards Sungyoon . However, its leg was injured and useless . Its balance was off, so its attack was much weaker than before . However, Sungyoon didn’t plan on letting the attack hit him .
Toohk!
Sungyoon stopped on a dime, and he took two steps backward . The Bigfoot was flabbergasted when its fist swung through the empty air . It had the effect of exposing the Bigfoot’s rear . Tim, who had been waiting for this opportunity, ran forward . He brought down his axe at an angle .
Kwah-jeek!
His target was once again the injured thigh . A new wound appeared on the Bigfoot’s right thigh . It quickly turned its body . But as soon as it turned, Sungyoon jumped in again .
Puh-suhk!
Sungyoon was tenacious as he aimed for the right thigh again . The already bloodied and bruised thigh took damage again .
-Ggwuhhhhh!
The Bigfoot twisted its body in pain . It flailed its arms in random directions, but the two humans had already moved out of its range .
At that moment, a faint light appeared from Sungyoon’s body . He glanced backwards . He saw Emily pointing her short staff towards him .
‘Did she renew the support spell?’
It seemed the duration of her support magic was coming to an end .
Boom!
In the end, the Bigfoot fell to its knee . It was too much of a burden to stand on the injured leg .
The three Connectors’ face brightened . They were now confident that they could defeat this terrifying Bigfoot . However, Sungyoon and Tim didn’t rush the fight . They kept circling around the Bigfoot, and they only attacked when they found an opening . It wasn’t just its thigh . New wounds were appearing all over its body .
-Koo-roohk!
The Bigfoot let out a short cry, and it fell to the floor . Sungyoon let out a sigh of relief .
‘We just have to remain cautious as we wrap this up... . ’
It happened at that moment .
“This is it!”
Until now, Tim had been conservative in his attack, and he had worked well with Sungyoon . However, he suddenly dashed forward . It seemed Tim believed the Bigfoot was helpless, and he wanted to get in the finishing blow .
The axe let out a fierce destructive sound as it moved straight towards the Bigfoot’s head .
However, Tim was being too hasty in his actions .
-Ooh-wuhhhhhhhhhh!
The Bigfoot had acted as if it was close to death . The Bigfoot stood up, and its bloody and wrinkled face glared at Tim, who was charging towards it .
“Tim!”
Emily yelled out in fright . She thought the battle was over, so she had relaxed . This new development was like a bolt out of the blue .
Tim’s face turned pale . However, he had already ridden the bucking bull . He swung his axe . In fact, he put more strength into his arms . He wanted to kill it before the Bigfoot could kill him .
However, Tim was unlucky . The Bigfoot’s entire body was covered in wounds, but it wasn’t critically injured . It was capable of moving quickly . The only serious wound was the wound to its right thigh .
Puhk!
The Bigfoot’s hand struck the handle of Tim’s axe . The axe was sent flying from Tim’s hands .
Puh-uh-uhk!
The Bigfoot swung its hand one more time, and this time it struck Tim’s body .
“Koo-huhk!”
Tim had an impressive physique, yet he was sent flying through the air . For some reason, it looked unrealistic, but it was reality . It was an awful reality .
“Tiiiiiiiiiiiim!”
Emily’s despairing scream rang out . Tim’s body flew through the air for a while before his body ruthlessly hit the ground .
“Cough!”
Fortunately, Tim was still alive . However, it seemed he had internal bleeding . He coughed out blood .
-Ggwuhhhhhh!
The Bigfoot wasn’t done . Its anger wasn’t quelled yet . It was said that a wild animal was most dangerous when it was injured . It dragged its severely injured right leg . It used its two arms and its left leg to drag itself forward . It moved towards Tim at a frightening speed .
“Shit!”
Sungyoon ran forward . Fortunately, Tim’s body was sent flying a long distance . Before the Bigfoot could reach Tim, Sungyoon reached the Bigfoot .
Kwa-jeek!
He swung his mace towards the arm that was braced against the floor . A sickening sound rang out from its arm . It fell to the floor as it lost its balance .
“Heal him!”
He shouted instructions to Emily then he swung his weapon once again .
Boom!
This time he missed . The Bigfoot rolled to the side to dodge the attack . When he missed his target, he let go of his mace without hesitation .
Tuh-uhng!
The Bigfoot’s fist impacted on his shield . However, Sungyoon had let go of his weapon . He had gone full defensive mode, so he was easily able to block the blow from the injured Bigfoot .
Sungyoon immediately ran backwards . The Bigfoot tried to follow after him, but it basically had to drag its lower body . It was having trouble moving quickly .
Sssk!
Sungyoon unsummoned his mace . The mace, which had been rolling on the ground, disappeared . Sungyoon summoned his weapon once again . However, it wasn’t the mace . It was his original weapon . He summoned his long spear .
His spear couldn’t pierce through the Bigfoot’s hide before, but things were different now . The Bigfoot was injured, but the spear couldn’t do any critical damage . However, it was a clear threat to the Bigfoot . If the spear pierced through the open wound, its wound would worsen . A normal wound might turn into a critical wound .
The Bigfoot was afraid of the spear, so it hesitated in its action . The spear started to work against the Bigfoot . Its long reach shined in the fight . Of course, the Bigfoot’s decreased mobility had a part in it too .
Poo-oohk!
The spear pierced through its side where the mace had caved it in . The Bigfoot struggled in pain . Sungyoon kept stabbing various body parts . The Bigfoot was in a muddled state .
“Hoohp!”
Unlike before, Sungyoon was resolved to attack the Bigfoot’s face . The Bigfoot swiped with its hand in surprise .
However, it was a feint . Sungyoon’s spear disappeared right before it hit the Bigfoot’s hand . Sungyoon had unsummoned it . The follow through of the swipe left the Bigfoot overextended . One arm was being used to prop itself up, since its lower body was injured . The Bigfoot’s face was left undefended .
Sungyoon didn’t hesitate as he charged forward . He already had the Blue Gem mace in his hands .
“Ooh-ahhhhhhh!”
It was out of character for him to do this, but he let out a heroic shout . He swung his mace, and it impacted squarely on the Bigfoot’s head .
