Chapter 138 : Ultimate Fusion
Chapter 138: Ultimate Fusion
“Hmm.”
The problem was─ the fact that Baek Woohyun received this rather unfavorably.
Whether he was bothered that he couldn’t kill them in one strike, or displeased that the Beau-tiful Twins merely managed to endure, he didn’t know, but regardless.
He smoothly moved the blue threads extending from his fingertips, and the werewolves that had become puppet dolls faithfully followed his will.
Swish!
“”···!””
The werewolves’ claws, thrust out while twisting grotesquely, aimed for the Beau-tiful Twins.
The movement was so violent that the clear sound of bones breaking—crack!—echoed throughout.
No, perhaps it wasn’t a sound ‘like’ breaking, but the sound actually ‘made from’ breaking. They simply couldn’t confirm it properly.
Kwagagak!
“Ugh!” “We blocked it!”
-They blocked that?
-Ruthless, absolutely ruthless
-Master trying to kill vs disciples trying to survive
-I would’ve had my head ripped off immediatelyㅋㅋ
However, even against this reckless self-destructive attack, the Beau-tiful Twins endured to the very end.
By pressing their backs together and angling their swords diagonally, they smoothly deflected the claws aimed at their heads.
This time it was perfect defense—they took no damage whatsoever, nor were they pushed back by the werewolves’ strength.
Moreover, this served as an indicator of how rapidly the twins were improving.
Though they had blocked the previous attack while sustaining injuries, they parried the follow-up attack without suffering any losses.
If they continued growing at this rate, they might even attempt a counterattack next time.
“Excellent.”
Baek Woohyun smiled brightly as if he had never been displeased, having confirmed this.
The growth of his disciples who would become reliable allies in future Otherworld Lord raids, or wherever else, was his joy.
He felt like clapping his hands. Unfortunately, he couldn’t because he had to control the werewolves.
‘It’s definitely praise, but.’ ‘Why is it so scary?’
Regrettably, having been through what they had so far, the Beau-tiful Twins couldn’t purely accept Baek Woohyun’s praise with joy.
That was because, in their experience, more difficult training always followed the praise of “excellent.”
Just like how today’s battle with the werewolves kept getting harder.
“When Hackphysical praises, hmm.”
“It means he’ll properly wreck us from now on.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Praise = death sentence
-Ahㅋㅋ the better you do, the harder it getsㅋㅋ
-Can’t help it, gotta push them into that situation ㅅㄱ
‘PT Trainer’ donated ‘1000 won’!
[Member, you’re doing really well! In that spirit, let’s do just one more set!]
Even Cha Seongcheol and Jeong Nayeon, along with the viewers, recognized what results Baek Woohyun’s praise would bring.
There were even those giggling that the real start only came after the praise.
“Now, let’s continue.”
“”Yesss!””
-Sounds like they’re answering while crying
-It really is insanely hard
-Their skills can’t help but improve ㄹㅇ
-Surprisingly, there are many people whose skills don’t improve even with this
As Baek Woohyun smoothly moved his hands, the stationary werewolves began violently pressuring the Beau-tiful Twins.
It was the result of much faster speed than when they weren’t controlled, even stronger power, and movements bordering on recklessness.
It was practically as if the monster combat intelligence called Baek Woohyun had been installed in them.
Kwagagak!
“Kuk!” “Kyaa!”
“The most important thing when facing an enemy with greater strength is to absolutely never confront them head-on.”
Though they managed to block the werewolves’ claws, Baek Woohyun calmly advised the Beau-tiful Twins who were pushed back by the force contained within.
He added that blocking by pressing backs together to endure the force was at most a secondary choice to make.
Because that would narrow the range of movement, and the shock would remain and accumulate in the body.
“When defending, deflect as much as possible, and if you judge that impossible, dodge instead. You must not be gradually consumed by the damage the enemy forces upon you.”
“When the enemy is two!” “What should we do!”
“Usually it depends on the situation─”
Kwagagak!
-They’re even asking questions hereㄷㄷ
-If you look carefully, these twins are crazy too;
-They didn’t say they could reach Challenger for nothing
-Master and disciples are all talent cheatsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The Beau-tiful Twins grew at tremendous speed, absorbing Baek Woohyun’s teachings.
First, the minor stuttering caused by low stats completely disappeared, and their bearing when facing stronger enemies was quickly established.
Needless to say, the twins’ coordination moving as one body became even more solid in the process.
Kwadeuk!
“Ah, really!” “Why do they keep getting stronger?!”
However, despite their tremendous growth rate, the Beau-tiful Twins never managed to defeat the werewolves Baek Woohyun was controlling.
Rather, they were continuously pushed around by werewolves exploiting gaps. Their only achievement was landing a few sword strikes at most.
Even that was accomplished while prepared to take equal damage themselves, so strictly speaking, it couldn’t be called a good result.
This situation was created because Baek Woohyun properly controlled the werewolves bit by bit to match the Beau-tiful Twins’ growth.
Like RPG level scaling, the werewolves became equally stronger as the twins grew stronger, maintaining the power difference.
It was remarkably delicate adjustment, but whether the twins who had to face it felt the same was unknown.
Crack!
“Oh my.”
The practical training that had driven the Beau-tiful Twins to extreme situations ended when the two werewolves sat down with a chilling sound.
No matter how robust a werewolf’s body was, it finally broke down from continuously drawing out strength beyond its limits through [Puppet Manipulation].
It was a perfectly natural result since Baek Woohyun had moved them without any consideration for the load on the werewolves’ bodies.
Even during the fight, the sound of breaking bones occasionally rang out.
“We, we barely survived.” “Can this be called surviving···?”
The Beau-tiful Twins, who would have died if they’d been attacked a few more times, sighed and immediately collapsed as if they had no strength left to stand.
From the large wounds carved here and there on their bodies and their blood-soaked appearance, the pain they endured was faintly conveyed.
“Congratulations on surviving!”
“Wow, you endured this!”
-Survived like dogsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They didn’t survive, they were sparedㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Chat saying to torment them more desperatelyㄴㄴㄴㄴㄴㄴ
-There’s Satan aboveㄷㄷ
Normally the Beau-tiful Twins would have given at least a simple response to Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol’s congratulations, but now they seemed to lack even that presence of mind.
Well, they had fought a battle where they would have died the instant they let their guard down even for a moment, so it was understandable.
The fact that they collapsed as soon as the fight ended and still couldn’t stand up clearly showed how exhausted they were.
“I apologize, but.”
“Ah.” “Huk.”
Baek Woohyun, who had retrieved his supernatural ability from the werewolves that had become corpses, approached the Beau-tiful Twins.
Not only the twins but even Jeong Nayeon and Cha Seongcheol looked at him with ‘surely not?’ expressions, but he wasn’t one to shrink back because of that.
He spoke without any wavering, unconcerned by the gazes fixed on his face.
“It’s not rest time yet.”
–Keuheng!
–Keureureu!
Three werewolves appeared as if responding to Baek Woohyun’s firm declaration!
Of course, that couldn’t really be the case. These guys probably came here after hearing the howling unleashed by the previous werewolves.
The timing was just too coincidental. Surely he wouldn’t continue practical training by even summoning new werewolves?
‘With Woohyun, it somehow seems possible.’
‘Given Hackphysical’s personality, maybe···?’
-There’s Satan here tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-???: Who said you could rest?
-Endless extreme situations
-This is real Spartan educationㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“”······.””
“Since new teaching materials have conveniently arrived.”
Baek Woohyun extended his hand toward the three werewolves rolling their eyes around.
Dozens of threads shot from his fingertips bound the werewolves’ limbs without giving them any chance to resist.
Finally, when a relatively thick thread compared to the others pierced their foreheads, the light disappeared from the werewolves’ eyes that had been full of killing intent.
“Let’s continue practical training.”
“”···Yes, understood.””
The Beau-tiful Twins, who had barely endured the previous battle, ultimately met death before the three werewolves Baek Woohyun controlled.
Though they immediately revived and returned to where Baek Woohyun’s party was waiting, that was only the beginning of the trials they would face from now on.
Death, death, and more death.
Baek Woohyun maintained the werewolves’ combat ability at exactly one notch above the Beau-tiful Twins, and thanks to that, they were endlessly wrecked.
Naturally, they couldn’t even dream of experiencing their rapidly improving skills. The werewolves they faced were always stronger than them.
“Uwaaat!” “Haaaap!”
Seogeok!
-Werewolf cut!
-Watching continuously makes me want to cheer for themㅋㅋ
-Working so hard~ have a drink~
-Twins of willpower
Deaths repeated countless times.
Enemies always stronger than themselves.
Mental fatigue continuously accumulating.
Even before trials truly worthy of being called ‘forced hate,’ the Beau-tiful Twins’ will shone brilliantly without dimming.
Even the viewers who initially watched their suffering with laughter began to have hearts that wanted to cheer them on at some point.
‘Hmm.’
The Beau-tiful Twins’ struggle like this was a pleasant miscalculation for Baek Woohyun.
The qualities he could confirm were only those related to combat. Things like how quickly they’d learn, how far their skills would grow.
Since a person’s character ultimately can’t be known without seeing it, the fact that the twins were owners of such firm will had to be considered fortunate.
Clap clap clap.
“Very good.”
In short, there was good reason why Baek Woohyun praised the Beau-tiful Twins while even clapping his hands.
Having drawn not S-rank but SSS-rank as allies, he could do at least this much.
He smiled with satisfaction and said.
“Only one final gateway remains.”
“Finally···.” “···The final gateway!”
-At last!
-Just beat the boss and it’s over
-But can they win this?
-It’s a boss battle, so if they die they can’t come back inㄷ
Kugugung!
–Awooooooo─!
A powerful howling heard along with heavy ground trembling!
Soon after, a shadow that had leaped high into the sky landed in the clearing with a kwung! sound.
Between the billowing dust clouds, eyes glowing bright red flashed with killing intent.
As if to avenge its kin.
–Kreureureureu!
Eventually, the werewolf that raised its body, with a frame exceeding 4 meters, more than lived up to the name of boss monster or Boss Entity just with its size alone.
Unlike the ordinary werewolves that had yellowish fur, the majesty of the Boss Werewolf was clearly felt from its brilliantly shining silver fur.
Add to that massive fangs that looked like they could bite off the Beau-tiful Twins’ heads in one go, and sharp claws dripping with blood.
“······.”
Chwaralak-!
However, even such a powerful Boss Werewolf couldn’t avoid Baek Woohyun’s threads. Precisely, it tried to avoid them but failed.
Dozens of blue threads chased the Boss Werewolf that had retreated backward from the sudden attack(?) and finally wrapped around its limbs.
The surprising fact was that even though over a dozen blue threads bound each arm and leg, the Boss Werewolf tried to move its body by its own will.
It was probably because it was a Boss Entity after all, so it had high supernatural ability resistance. The fact that Baek Woohyun’s supernatural ability build wasn’t perfect also played a part.
‘Well, then.’
–Keuheoheoheng!
Baek Woohyun, who chuckled, leaped up while gripping the blue threads and stood firmly on the trapezius muscle of the Boss Werewolf that was gritting its teeth and refusing control.
The roar of the Boss Werewolf, suddenly treated as a mount, had no effect on him. By directly mounting it, he increased the supernatural ability intensity and succeeded in completely suppressing it.
Having instantly placed the Boss Werewolf under his dominion, he smiled and said.
“Shall we start the boss battle now?”
“”······.””
-What is this now ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What am I watching right nowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ultimate fusion HackphysicalWerewolfㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Excessively strengthened boss mobㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
