Leveling Up Alone - Chapter 489

Chapter 489: Modern version of the Three Kingdoms (3)

“Kuaaaah!”

Gush! Crack!

The horrifying sound of flesh and bones breaking echoed throughout the jungle.

The well-funded and heavily armed mana bomb traps had taken down a number of monsters, but the dead monsters were like empty tanks, useless in battle. The real combat monsters were still alive and well, and they continued to slaughter the Vietnamese Hunters.

[Aghhh!]

“Kekekeke!”

A few monsters were overpowering the Vietnamese Hunters in the jungle, which was like the Vietnamese backyard. There weren’t many of them, but despite their large physique—about four meters tall—they were much faster than most of the Vietnamese Hunters. They moved freely through the jungle trees and hunted the Vietnamese Hunters.

[I-It’s him!]

[Death Gorilla!]

“Wooooo!”

Thump, thump, thump!

Although it looked very different from a gorilla, the Vietnamese Hunters gave the monster this name because of its chest-beating behavior and the sounds it made, which were similar to those of a gorilla. Despite the difference in their appearance, it was a fitting name.

[Uhh...]

[That monster... It's just too much...]

Many Hunters had died in the first and second lines of defense because they couldn’t handle the Death Gorilla. However, the Vietnamese Hunters were human, and they weren’t going to make the mistake of falling for the same tricks again.

[Move, move!]

Tak!

[I-It’s Urgan-nim!]

Urgan was the most powerful Vietnamese Hunter. His nickname was taken after a popular Vietnamese cartoon character, but he liked the nickname so much that he introduced himself as Urgan even at formal events. As a result, he was Master-Rank Hunter with quite a lot of children as fans, despite his ignorant appearance and genuine lack of knowledge.

The weapon he used was a massive, two-handed axe that matched his overwhelming strength.

[Die, you monkey! Earth split!]

Kwanggg!

Urgan created a huge mana wave that traveled along the ground, then shot upward in an instant, striking the Death Gorilla in the chest.

[Kheeee!]

No matter how many Hunters the Death Gorilla terrorized, it was unable to show its great power in front of a Master-Rank Hunter.

After the mana wave pierced it, the Death Gorilla spewed out blood and its organs, and then it soon died.

[Yayyyy!]

[Urgan! Urgan!]

At his display of overpowering strength, the Vietnamese Hunters couldn't help but cheer for Urgan.

[Ha, don’t make a fuss. This is nothing. I haven’t even started yet!]

Tak!

[Woooo!]

Enraged at their comrade's death, the Death Gorillas lunged at Urgan all at once, only to be knocked out by a single axe strike from a Master-Rank Hunter.

Swoosh!

[Ohkekeke!]

They were called gorillas, but they were still monsters, so they didn’t have any distinctive features by human standards. They also screeched like monkeys, which is why Urgan called the Death Gorillas monkeys.

[Khahaha! Is this all you’ve got, you stupid monkeys?]

Shaaa!

With a sideways slash, Urgan cut the four-meter-tall Death Gorilla’s waist, splitting it in two.

[I’m not done yet!]

Whoosh! Slash!

“Agh!”

With a final downward strike, he split the monster vertically, cutting it into four pieces. The fight was already over when he had cut off its waist, but Urgan’s anger toward the monster was so intense that he made one more downward strike to cut it into quarters.

If Han-Yeol had seen this, he would’ve clicked his tongue at the madman for doing such a useless thing.

[Hahaha! Monsters, is this all you’ve got?]

Thud!

[What the hell? Urgan, you’re taking all the fun away.]

[Hahaha!]

[W-What’s that sound?]

With victory just around the corner, the Vietnamese Hunters were dumbfounded by the unfamiliar sound of the battle trumpet that suddenly echoed across the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the eight Master-Rank Hunters, including Urgan, successfully dismembered the Big Moth, the enemy who had murdered their comrades.

[Huh, it was weaker than I thought?]

[It was just big. It was basically a puppet with a lot of mana!]

[Why did Lei and Lai lose to this thing?]

Slash!

Urgan sliced through the remaining body of the Big Moth with his axe.

Urgan had been the closest to Lei and Lai more than anyone else, and he was the angriest. He resented the fact that his precious comrades died to a monster that was easy to kill.

Beeppp!

The Master-Rank Hunters could hear the sound of the battle trumpet as well.

[Huh, what is that?]

[??]

Gush!

Urgan pulled his axe from the Big Moth’s corpse and turned his head in the direction of the sound of the battle trumpet.

[D-Damn it...!]

[No way!]

The eight Master-Rank Hunters simultaneously gasped, making faces as if they had seen something out of this world.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Just when the battle with the monsters was about to end, an army of monsters incomparably more powerful than the ones they had faced so far came swarming towards them.

The Vietnamese Hunters shook their heads and denied this miserable reality.

[N-No way...]

[T-This has to be a dream, a dream...]

There were still a lot of them. These were elite Hunters from all over Vietnam, including the best Hunters in terms of number and quality. However, the problem was that while the Master-Rank Hunters were preoccupied with the Big Moth, the rest of the Hunters had to deal with the rest of the monsters, so they were incredibly exhausted.

In other words, there were still a lot of Hunters, but they didn’t have any energy left to fight. The good news was that the Master-Rank Hunters were still fine, but there was still a problem.

Shaa! Shaaa!

[T-That’s...?]

[A-A swarm of Big Moths?]

The Master-Rank Hunters saw a swarm of Big Moths in charge of the aerial combat in the new monster army.

They had just finished dismembering the one enemy as best as they could, but now there were at least fifty of them. In addition to that, they were even bigger than the Big Moth they had just faced. Each one looked like they were at least thirty meters tall.

Beeepppp!

“Kheeee!”

“Khoooo!”

The monsters sprinted toward the spread of Vietnamese Hunters as they were mocking the Hunters for getting caught in their trap.

The commander fell into despair at the situation.

[T-This can’t be!]

He had already used all his forces and had no more backup.

Thud.

[C-Commander!]

The commander collapsed helplessly on the metal chair, and the officers around him tried to support him.

[I’m fine. I’m just a little shocked...]

He said that, but his body was already reaching the old age of a hundred-thirty-year-old. His military acumen had earned him the position of commander, but his body was rapidly aging and weakening. He wobbled.

‘I can’t see...’

Thud!

[C-Commander!]

The commander tried to pull himself back to his feet, but he couldn’t win against his closing eyelids. He fell forward, never to open his eyes again.

The Vietnam Hunter hero and a great star died in vain from traumatizing news.

The enemies' unexpected arrival and the sudden absence of their commander caused chaos in the Vietnamese defense line.
