Chapter Title: Fluffy's Wrath
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Fluffy, say hello."
Kraang.
At those words, Fluffy let out a single bark and licked Shin Yu-hyun's face.
Then it turned to Saso-ri and opened its jaws wide.
And chomped down on Saso-ri without mercy.
Kwaduk!
"Gaaahhh!"
Saso-ri let out a scream of agony. But this was only the beginning.
Kwak!
Fluffy opened its jaws again and bit down on Saso-ri's leg.
"Guhhheuk!"
Saso-ri groaned in pain from the bite.
In that instant, Fluffy shook its head wildly, slamming Saso-ri into the ground.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Fluffy whipped its head back and forth, smashing Saso-ri repeatedly against the pavement.
Saso-ri couldn't even scream anymore. Being pounded into the ground over and over had crushed bones throughout its body and left it a total wreck.
It couldn't even breathe properly, let alone cry out.
After slamming Saso-ri into the ground several more times, Fluffy spat it out of its mouth.
Broken bones everywhere, with shards piercing its lungs—dark red blood poured from Saso-ri's mouth.
The relentless impacts had left Saso-ri dazed and unable to regain its senses.
"How's that pain feel?"
Shin Yu-hyun stood over Saso-ri's head and spoke.
At his words, Saso-ri's unfocused eyes turned toward him. It was already wounded beyond recovery.
All that was left was to await death.
"You filthy maggot... If it weren't for my tongue... I never would've lost to trash like you..."
With all its teeth shattered, Saso-ri wore a wronged expression and spoke in a whistling voice.
It had never considered itself inferior to Shin Yu-hyun.
And that was technically true.
In terms of superhuman rank alone, Saso-ri was peak 4-star, while Shin Yu-hyun was mid 4-star.
"Huh? What're you saying? Speak clearly."
Saso-ri's face twisted in injustice at Shin Yu-hyun's feigned ignorance.
It couldn't enunciate properly because Shin Yu-hyun had broken all its teeth.
"And don't you remember me beating you senseless earlier? Did getting thrashed knock your memory loose?"
"Th-that was 'cause I got careless. If I hadn't... I wouldn't have lost to scum like you."
"Bullshit."
Shin Yu-hyun snorted at Saso-ri's slurred words. Then he picked up the Curse Poison Spear.
A vicious spear that inflicted curses and poison, slowly dragging the victim toward death.
Against magic beasts, it would be top-tier. But Saso-ri loved using it to torture humans.
Finding that out was easy. Shin Yu-hyun's Spirit Eye revealed clusters of wretched human spirits hovering around Saso-ri.
"Wh-what are you... doing..."
Puuk!
"Kraaaah!"
Shin Yu-hyun plunged the Curse Poison Spear into Saso-ri's shoulder.
Its shoulder began to rot away immediately.
"Guuuuh! St-stop...! D-don't!"
Saso-ri writhed in torment.
The Curse Poison Spear applied curses and poisons. The problem was the excruciating pain that came with it.
Depending on the user's will, it could make flesh rot while still alive or melt away with acidic venom.
It could inflict all sorts of agony.
In a way, it was perfect for torture. But it had one flaw: once applied, the curse and poison wouldn't stop until death.
That's why Saso-ri often used it for torture and executions.
"Don't? Didn't the innocent people you murdered beg the same? 'Stop, please don't.' What did you do then?"
Shin Yu-hyun looked down at Saso-ri with cold eyes.
Saso-ri was a terrorist.
It took civilians and superhumans hostage, killing them cruelly.
That's why the Hunter Association had put a bounty on it.
Not just Saso-ri, but all the key executives of the Iron Forge Corps.
Once the purge was done, he planned to hand their corpses over to the Association in bulk. Each executive's bounty was worth hundreds of millions at least.
"Kuh... kuuh!"
Saso-ri could only groan in pain at Shin Yu-hyun's words.
Left alone, it would die from the curse, poison, and blood loss.
"K-kill me! You dog bastard!"
Saso-ri glared at Shin Yu-hyun with a face twisted in rage and screamed.
It had realized there was no chance of survival.
In that case, a quick, painless death would be better.
Right now, Saso-ri was losing its mind from the agony.
The curse and poison spreading from its shoulder brought ever-intensifying torment.
Leaning close to Saso-ri's ear, Shin Yu-hyun whispered,
"No."
"...!"
Only then did Saso-ri realize it.
Shin Yu-hyun had no intention of killing it quickly or painlessly.
"Die counting up your sins."
Shin Yu-hyun stepped away from Saso-ri.
He didn't forget to take the Curse Poison Spear. An Exceptional Rare-grade weapon had serious value.
"Kuhk! Kuk!"
Saso-ri could no longer speak to Shin Yu-hyun, gasping as if death was imminent.
Ignoring it, Shin Yu-hyun surveyed the surroundings.
From the moment Fluffy appeared, the Iron Forge Corps spearmen had lost their will to fight.
They knew about Fluffy.
Its past escape had been a massive incident within the Corps.
Now, the skeletons were nearly overwhelming the demoralized foes.
But plenty of Iron Forge grunts remained.
"The rest, huh?"
Shin Yu-hyun narrowed his eyes and glared ahead.
Superhumans in black hooded coats were roaring down the two-lane road toward them.
About a hundred in number.
With the ambush failed, they were mobilizing everyone for an all-out assault.
And among them were Iron Forge executives.
Frost Bow Arisa.
Thunderclap Sword Kazma.
Charging Spear Honda.
All peak 4-stars.
Each led their own units, charging in.
Probably to rescue Saso-ri.
But they overlooked one presence.
Fluffy.
"Fluffy, say hello."
Kraang.
Nodding, Fluffy opened its maw toward the approaching Iron Forge scum.
Kiiing!
A white mana orb began forming in Fluffy's mouth.
As a Blood Wolf, it had been red. Now, as a White Wolf, it was white.
Thud! Shwaaaaa!
Moments later, a freezing white beam sliced through space from the orb.
Frost Nova Breath, freezing moisture in the air as it advanced.
Soon, the white light struck the Iron Forge group.
In that instant.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
In the blink of an eye, enormous ice formed.
Where the Blood Wolf had unleashed scorching explosions, the White Wolf froze everything solid.
Half the Iron Forge Corps was trapped in ice.
The rest hesitated in panic.
"Fluffy, bite."
Awoooo-----!
At Shin Yu-hyun's command, the White Wolf Fluffy howled long and charged at the Iron Forge Corps.
Now it was time for revenge. ◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ The battle favored Shin Yu-hyun's side.
The Frost Nova Breath's impact had been devastating.
Seeing half their forces frozen in an instant shattered the Iron Forge grunts' morale.
The executives bellowed orders, forcing their men to move.
But they couldn't stop Fluffy gleefully tearing into and devouring the grunts, or Shin Yu-hyun slicing through them with black flame aura billowing.
Fluffy had taken six executives and dozens of grunts to subdue before.
Now, with only half those executives—and Shin Yu-hyun besides.
'Not a single one lives.'
Shin Yu-hyun gritted his teeth and swung Levatein, wreathed in surging black flame aura.
Shwaaak!
"Gaaahhh!"
One grunt screamed horrifically.
Shin Yu-hyun had passed by and severed its arm.
But no blood sprayed.
The black flames coating Levatein cauterized the wound.
The problem was the flames clinging to the severed arm, slithering like snakes toward the shoulder and head.
"Hiiik!"
The grunt freaked out in agony from the climbing heat.
But it didn't last.
Sslash!
Shin Yu-hyun circled behind and decapitated it.
"You bastard!"
Another grunt, witnessing its comrade's death, charged Shin Yu-hyun and swung down.
Kclang!
Shin Yu-hyun parried with Quinae, now gauntlets.
Fwoosh!
Then he slashed diagonally with Levatein ablaze in black flame aura.
Sssslash!
The grunt split in two amid the sensation of cleaving bone and flesh.
"Kuhk, grrrk..."
Flesh sizzling in black flames, it foamed blood from its mouth and died.
"A m-monster...?"
"How can it do that...!"
The watching grunts muttered in horror.
Shin Yu-hyun let out a hollow laugh.
"I'm the monster? Then what about what you lot have done?"
Murder, kidnapping, imprisonment, human experimentation.
The Iron Forge Corps had committed atrocities no human should.
What pissed him off more was they knew better and did it anyway.
"You knew this could happen, right?"
A curse cast returns like a boomerang.
Always remember that.
No one escapes the law of karma.
Not the Iron Forge Corps. Not even the self-proclaimed gods, Getia.
'I'll make sure of it.'
For Getia, he'd ensure it himself.
"This is the calamity you summoned yourselves."
So accept it.
Shin Yu-hyun unleashed Heaven-Splitting Divine Steps toward the grunts who'd called him monster, swinging blazing Levatein in the same rush.
Flash! Shwaaak!
Levatein traced a black arc through the air, grazing two grunts.
"Grrrk!"
"Uwaaak! My arm! My arm!"
The black flame blade severed necks and arms.
Shin Yu-hyun showed no mercy.
He knew what they'd done.
The grunts couldn't stop him.
Mostly 3-stars, their best barely scraping low 4-star.
"You punk!"
"Quit rampaging!"
Finally, fed up Iron Forge executives blocked his path.
Awoooo-----!
But Shin Yu-hyun had White Wolf Fluffy.
Fluffy, mauling and clawing grunts, glared at the executives with eyes full of hate.
They'd stopped it from saving the children.
Shin Yu-hyun sneered at the executives and said one word.
"Bite."
Kraaaang!
At his command, Fluffy roared and leaped at them.
Shin Yu-hyun followed right behind.
Black flame aura rising from his flame demon sword Levatein.
