Chapter 131. When You Kill a Lord
Kim Do-Joon felt weightless as he floated in the air. He caught a glimpse of the sky, where the clouds had parted. Then, his descent began. As he fell, Vulcanus swooped in with blinding speed and caught him.
"It looks like you succeeded," Vulcanus remarked.
Kim Do-Joon stayed silent, his gaze locked on the ground far below, where the enormous water giant was collapsing. The creature’s massive body, made entirely of water, was now dissolving into shimmering light, vanishing into thin air.
The downpour that had accompanied the battle ceased, and the raging currents slowly subsided. Patches of earth began to appear through the muddy mess.
Thud.
Kim Do-Joon jumped off Vulcanus’ back and landed on the ground. A small figure appeared in the distance—it was a Water Spirit. It was a mere fraction of its giant predecessor—almost pitiful in comparison. It stood in shock at the shattered Core of the giant.
"It's finally over," Vulcanus muttered.
Vulcanus had already reverted into his human form, his fiery red hair fluttering as he approached the Water Spirit. Without hesitation, he raised his hand, conjuring a sword of flames. Then, he decapitated the creature.
Squelch.
The head rolled across the soggy ground, stopping a few feet away. Even in death, the Water Spirit’s face was frozen in a state of disbelief.
"What happens when you kill a Spirit King?" Kim Do-Joon asked, his curiosity piqued.
