Chapter 46
Ka-ga-gak!
My sword clashed against the monster’s machete. Just as I collided head-on with the monster, something sharp sliced through the air behind me.
It was Kwon Taehyuk’s blade, following close behind to assist me, pressing the monster harder.
Krrrgh!
The monster, forced to block my sword with its only machete, had no choice but to expose itself to Kwon Taehyuk’s attack. It growled with clear irritation and struck my sword back with force.
Ka-kang!
“Urgh...!”
I was hurled backward and gritted my teeth as I rushed to close the distance again.
Pain tingled through the arm holding my sword, and a dull ache clouded one side of my head from the fatigue, but now wasn’t the time to let myself drift.
An S-rank monster was never an easy opponent. Unlike lower-ranked monsters, S-ranks possessed intelligence and varying combat styles, which made them that much more troublesome.
If this were a dungeon, I could leave it to Kwon Taehyuk. But we were in the middle of a city where ordinary people lived. We didn’t have the luxury of taking our time hunting down an S-rank monster that could bolt in any direction at any moment.
My role was to hold the monster’s attention. I had to keep it locked in place so that Kwon Taehyuk could attack more easily. That was the only way to take it down quickly.
