I Am The Anti-Mage

Chapter 175: Tier 5: Adversity

Gang-ho gritted his teeth and let out huge flames from all over his body. The snow environment around his feet slowly melted away. He couldn't hold back his strength just for fear of massive explosions causing other creatures to come. His team members could die if he fell into indecision.

He clapped his palms together, and a slash of fire shot out, separating the two White Undead Knights. He then jumped up and pushed back one of the creatures, separating the combination of the two White Undead Knights.

In-ah also jumped into action and followed the other White Undead Knight not to disturb Gang-ho. Dal-soo rushed to her aid. They needed to kill one such creature immediately.

The A-rank and B-rank Hunters also followed In-ah and Dal-soo's footsteps. They couldn't let their guild Headmaster fight a single White Undead Knight for long.

The White Undead Knight, who saw dozens of hunters rushing towards him, immediately raised both hands and summoned dozens of small, sharp ice blocks. He quickly showered them with the magic.

The hunters gritted their teeth and continued forward, undaunted by the ice blocks that were rapidly descending to the ground.

"Keep moving and suppress the creature!" Shouted In-ah. She stopped and twisted her arms upwards, emitting swirls of fire to fend off the blocks of ice.

Dal-soo led the charge and closed the gap with the White Undead Knight. He clasped his hands together, and ten blue threads flew out, grabbing the creature's body.

"Hurry up and do it!"

Dal-soo himself couldn't hold the White Undead Knight's movements back for long. However, the hunters did not have the leisure to rush towards the creature.

The ice blocks that In-ah intended to block managed to trouble the hunters. The swirls of fire were unable to destroy the magic attack.

The ground got shaken by the impact of the ice blocks. The hunters' footing was unstable, and some wobbled while running. That cost them heavily since not all could avoid it nicely and smoothly. Those incompetent hunters had to receive non-trivial injuries.

Some got thrown by the ice blocks crashing to the ground, while others were directly affected by the ice chunks. The injuries they suffered weren't too severe, as almost all of them managed to fend off with weapons or magic.

That caused a delay in attacking the White Undead Knight that Dal-soo was holding back. Inevitably, he lost in the tug of war and was dragged away by the creature.

The White Undead Knight, who managed to drag Dal-soo closer, immediately swung his sword with both hands.

Dal-soo covered his hand with magic and deflected the sword slash head-on.

Bang!

The loud crashing sound indicated that Dal-soo didn't get slashed. However, the price he had to pay to withstand the attack with his hands was intense shaking. It got estimated that he could not use his arms for a moment.

And it became an opportunity for the White Undead Knight to finish off the separated S-rank hunter. Dal-soo, who was vulnerable, was the right target to reduce the fighting power of the hunters.

Luckily, several hunters were able to arrive in time before the Godly Doctor was seriously injured or even lost his life at the hands of the White Undead Knight.

The White Undead Knight didn't stop his advance and kept his intent on attacking Dal-soo. He let out a torrent of snow from his body to repulse the hunters, who were striking in a swarm.

However, the avalanche could only take care of the A-rank and B-rank hunters. Because in an instant, In-ah managed to appear in front of Dal-soo. And she swung the sword from above at the advancing White Undead Knight.

Bang!

The loud crash of the two swords caused a shockwave, and the windswept across the area, causing the torrent of snow to dissipate before inflicting significant injuries on the other hunters.

Meanwhile, the White Undead Knight, who rebuked the heavy swing of the sword, had to kneel on one knee to withstand the powerful impact.

In-ah bit her lip until it bled a little. She had put all her strength into the swing and could only pin down the White Undead Knight. Not discouraged, she immediately launched a burst of fire through her mouth, trying to scorch the creature to the ground.

But that was enough.

The hunters, who had previously gotten distracted by the avalanche, managed to approach and launch a barrage of attacks at the White Undead Knight, who got suppressed by their Guild Vice Headmaster.

Even though various weapons already settled into the White Undead Knight's body, the wounds suffered were not enough to make the creature fall.

In-ah was also exhausted from blasting flames from her mouth. She was worried that the White Undead Knight would continue his movement. So, she shifted her sword stance and swung it swiftly to aim for the creature's neck.

The White Undead Knight immediately abandoned his sword to withstand the slash. His kneeling position made it impossible to repel with weapons. The option to dodge wasn't even available because the weapons that stabbed him had restricted his movement.

Zrreet!

In-ah's slash hit the White Undead Knight's neck. But alas, the cut was not deep. The creature's hand managed to halt the sword and stop the neck from being cut.

The White Undead Knight also didn't expect his state to get reduced to the point that it couldn't withstand the sword slash perfectly. That means the attacks from the other hunters were quite effective even though they didn't inflict any mortal wounds on him.

Raargh!!

The White Undead Knight gripped the sword tightly with both hands while crying out in frustration.

The hunters didn't care about the White Undead Knight's screams and approached to inflict further damage on the creature.

However, Dal-soo had a different opinion because he felt the Mana points on the White Undead Knight's chest were denser and more concentrated.

"Don't! Get away from that creature! It will explode!"

Dal-soo's scream immediately made all the hunters, and In-ah gasped. Everyone then abruptly stopped their movement and tried to retreat as fast as they could.

In-ah clicked her tongue. Inevitably, she had to let go of her sword and retreat as quickly as possible from the White Undead Knight.

On the other hand, Dal-soo clenched his teeth, thinking that his warning was too late. He had a bad feeling from the White Undead Knight's actions.

And sure enough.

As the concentrated point of Mana shrunk and disappeared, the White Undead Knight exploded white light, and the snow on the ground around the creature froze and spread rapidly.

Dal-soo had no other choice. He forced his still sore arms to perform magic. He then used the blue thread in his right hand to tie it backward, out of reach of the freeze. Meanwhile, the blue lines in his left hand pulled In-ah along with him for a quick retreat.

Dal-soo and In-ah fall backward, far from the position of the White Undead Knight. The bad news, the other hunters, who tried to escape, froze in a place not far from the creature.

The two S-rank hunters gaped, unable to believe what had happened. Several hunters got caught by the spread of the frozen explosion.

Dal-soo immediately rushed over to those hunters. He checked the condition of several members of the Vanguard team. Meanwhile, In-ah could only hold back her uneasy feeling.. And she made up her mind to go to Gang-ho's place instead of staying there.
