Trapped in a Webnovel as a Good-For-Nothing

The Meteor Spear was a new special move that Yu-Seong had come up with after much contemplation since coming to Pyongyang. Its purpose was undoubtedly to take down the giant Count of Demon, Clarius, that had established himself in the city.

‘I thought I needed a special move that could match up against big guys like him.’

Having gained power, he was now able to handle and shoot weights that had previously been unimaginable to him. The power he wielded was undeniable; he had inflicted a massive and indelible wound on a once-formidable enemy, who just a few months ago had been so fearsome that he had been forced to flee.

"Wow, it's even hotter than my Buffalo Boom skill!" exclaimed Bernard.

Meanwhile, Do-Jin showed a strange smile.

‘He seems…somehow satisfied.’

Yu-Seong trembled slightly and felt a sense of unease under Do-Jin's unpredictable gaze.

"Don't let your guard down. He's not dead yet!"

Yu-Seong's attack had blasted Clarius's head and body apart, resulting in a devastating injury. How could it still be alive?

Despite the fact that regeneration was one of the basic attributes of the demon race, and that high-ranking nobles like Clarius had reached the level of super regeneration, it was hard to believe that the Count of Demon was still regenerating.

Bernard felt a sense of frustration as he looked down at Clarius. He commented, "Is that really regenerating? Seriously, this is absurd.”

While the massive hole in Clarius's body slowly closed up, returning to its original shape despite still burning from Do-Jin's Black Flame, Do-Jin did not look perturbed. He had fought demons before, including the Demon King, so he had predicted this very situation.

He said nonchalantly, "It's something that will take a lot of time anyway. We just need to chop it up while we wait.”

"Oh, is it really that easy? How simple," said Bernard skeptically.

"I'm quite used to pulverizing weakened demons. Do you think I haven't done so before?" Do-Jin replied with a snort and twinkling eyes.

“What a big ego…” muttered Bernard.

Before Bernard could finish his sentence, Do-Jin suddenly had an urgent expression on his face. He threw himself at Clarius with his sword.

At that moment, a dimensional space next to Clarius split open and a massive arm swung out with a loud crash.

Bang!

Do-Jin, who had been pushed back while defending himself with his sword, clicked his tongue.

Yu-Seong also frowned at the unexpected situation. He muttered, "Again...?"

Emerging from the portal was a new demon with a similar appearance to Clarius, the demon they had just defeated. Like Clarius, it had a massive grayish body resembling a stone statue, but its hair was noticeably shorter.

"It's Elarius, the Count of Demon and the twin of Clarius," mumbled Yu-Seong.

Along with Clarius, Elarius was known as one of the two Guardian Demons of the Demon World.

‘I can't feel any indication that the Philosopher's Stone is activating.’

Who the hell had summoned that giant second demon? As he had just exhausted his full strength using his special moves to defeat Clarius, Yu-Seong did not welcome the arrival of Elarius.

‘Of course, if the three of us work together, we can knock him down somehow, but…’

Moreover, there was a high probability that Clarius would resurrect from his Super Regeneration soon. Surely, there was a way to deal with Elarius.

‘If I summon Loki here, I could slay Elarius with a single strike.’

However, that would require him to reveal all of his cards… While he contemplated this, Yu-Seong turned to glance at Do-Jin.

Do-Jin had a calm and cold look in his eyes as he watched Elarius, his determination to fight burning bright.

‘Should I trust him a bit more?’

While Yu-Seong continued to ponder deeply, Bernard ran toward Elarius and used his newly developed special move, Buffalo Dash, once again. Although the Buffalo Dash was less powerful than Yu-Seong’s Mentor Spear, it could be used more frequently and rapidly.

'But this is already the fourth time.’

Despite being less costly than the Meteor Spear, the Buffalo Dash was not a technique that could be used ten times. This was made clear when the fourth attack proved weaker, with smaller horns and less power than the previous ones.

Elarius even laughed and took the attack head-on, staring at Bernard. If the attack had been similar to the previous ones, it might have been strong enough to pierce through its entire knee.

"Tch,” Bernard muttered as Elarius's fist fell over his head.

Thinking that he had no time left to waste, Yu-Seong leapt forward and wrapped his arms around Bernard before rolling with him on the ground.

Thump-!

With a loud noise, the ground beneath Bernard's feet crumbled and collapsed.

"Wow, Yu-Seong. If I was squashed, I'd have become a pancake," Bernard said.

"Are you joking at a time like this?" Yu-Seong replied.

"Anyway, hardening your expression won't change the situation," Bernard said.

Just as the two of them exchanged jokes and fake laughter, Do-Jin, who had been motionless until then, dashed forward and swung his sword to unleash a large-scale magic circle. What shot out of the magic circle was a massive snowstorm that swept through the streets of Pyongyang and covered Elarius's entire body with sharp snowflakes.

Despite its high defense and attack power, Elarius seemed to have difficulty dodging the attack due to its large size. Furthermore, with the added snowstorm, its movements were significantly slowed down and it became even more visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, Do-Jin had more attacks up his sleeve. He jumped over the space where the Blizzard was raging, and plunged his hand, adorned with another magic circle, into Elarius's ankle and hit it hard. Then, a giant ice column began to shoot up and freeze Elarius's body.

Startled, Elarius tried to jump up and escape. However, Do-Jin had already landed back in his original spot, having crossed the space.

Yu-Seong could only gasp in amazement at Do-Jin's incredible attack.

‘Did that crazy guy even master the Freezing spell?’

Lightning and Thunder were closely related to each other, while Fire and Ice were clearly opposites. Therefore, it was rare for a wizard to use two elements, Fire and Ice, simultaneously. Moreover, it was difficult to find someone who could unleash such powerful magic as Do-Jin.

‘And that guy... He had even beaten the Sword Master using only his swordsmanship, didn’t he?’

Clearly, Do-Jin had reached the pinnacle of sword fighting as a Sword Master. Nevertheless, he didn't reveal his Sword Aura during this battle. In fact, Do-Jin intended to conceal a special move as backup, just like Yu-Seong had.

‘I should also reach the realm of Sword Aura quickly.’

Would it be possible once he reached S-rank?

While Yu-Seong had such thoughts, Elarius was almost completely frozen in the midst of the raging Blizzard. In that case, it was obvious what Yu-Seong and Bernard needed to do before Elarius could move again.

‘We need to finish Clarius before he moves again!’

The two made their decision and ran forward.

Amidst the sound of wind being ripped apart, an ax flew from somewhere and precisely struck Elarius on the forehead. The impact was so strong that the giant Elarius, who had been frozen, could no longer resist and fell back.

Feeling shocked, Yu-Seong, Bernard, and Do-Jin turned to the woman with red hair who flew by like the wind. She passed by Yu-Seong in a fleeting moment and exclaimed, "Kyahaha! It's been ages, my dear Gold Nugget! Let's deal with that first and then catch up properly!"

At the same time, Rachel, the woman with red hair, jumped up from the ground and swung her ax to ruthlessly cut Elarius's head that had fallen on the ground.

Crack, crack, crunch-!

With a dull thud, Elarius's giant head was split in half, with blood and flesh scattering in all directions.

Rachel paid no attention to the Blizzard raging around her or the frigid energy being unleashed by Do-Jin. She simply wielded her overwhelming violence to strike the enemy.

"What, what the hell is that?" Bernard exclaimed, staring at Rachel in astonishment.

Furrowing his brows, Do-Jin hardened his face as well. Rachel had managed to dispel his magic, even though he had used his full power, simply through the force of her own energy.

Rachel, indiscriminately using violence against a powerful enemy even like a Count of Demon, rendered even Yu-Seong speechless.

‘The Slaughter Queen… She has become even stronger.’

Contrary to Yu-Seong’s belief that Rachel would not develop properly while trapped in Pyongyang, her power was much more intense than he had expected. Yu-Seong thought he himself had become much stronger in a short amount of time, but Rachel's growth was also somewhat incredibly rapid.

‘Everything in this world is flowing faster than I knew.’

Moreover, Yu-Seong noticed that Rachel was the only one who had appeared in front of him. As this realization dawned on him, he panicked and jumped forward. Even though Do-Jin’s sharp Blizzard swept over his entire body, he had no time to care about such things.

Do-Jin quickly withdrew his Blizzard magic in surprise. After all, Elarius was already dying from Rachel's ax strike, its head completely in pieces. He didn’t have to keep using his magic.

"Kyahaha-!"

Rachel was swinging her ax like a madwoman when Yu-Seong reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder. He asked urgently, "Helen, what about Helen? What happened to her?"

Rachel stopped swinging her ax and tilted her head. She asked, "Helen?”

Then, she gave Yu-Seong a chilling smile as she stood up. “You're not trying to ask about that worthless grandma and bothering me, are you, Gold Nugget?"

As she spoke, the violent and rough aura initially directed at Elarius began to pour down on Yu-Seong, who felt chills all over his body.

In the past, Yu-Seong would have collapsed in his spot without being able to withstand this. However, he had also grown, perhaps even more than Rachel, allowing him to stand on both feet.

“Shut up, and just answer. Where is Helen?” Yu-Seong asked as he confidently addressed her.

"What if I killed her?" Rachel snickered, twirling her ax before swiftly throwing it toward Yu-Seong's head.

Yu-Seong used his Wind Control to dodge the hand ax. Then, he quickly pulled out his gun from his pocket, firing the mana bullet at Rachel using Lightning Strike.

Kwarrang-!

Rachel blocked the Lightning Strike head-on, then smiled brightly at her arm which had turned black like coal from the impact. She remarked, "Gold Nugget, you've really grown a lot.”

"Answer me, Rachel. Where is Helen?" Yu-Seong repeated.

"The answer is..."

Rachel didn't even finish her sentence before Yu-Seong suddenly lowered his head, avoiding a sharp ax that had just grazed his scalp.

Just as Rachel proceeded to leap at Yu-Seong with her ax in hand, Bernard jumped in and unleashed a massive explosion with his fist.

"Fast, but too linear..." said Rachel as she avoided Bernard's attacks with a light twist of her head and a smile.

Her expression froze when Do-Jin's sword stopped right below her neck. He asked, "Have you heard of fishing, you crazy yangban?"

Bernard shrugged his shoulders after Do-Jin had easily subdued Rachel for a moment.

"Ahaha! This is really fun." Rachel laughed once again.
