Chapter 130
Whir-!
Helicopter blades whirred.
Beep! Beep!
Cars were honking and making noise everywhere.
“KYAA! What’s that monster?!”
“Everyone, come over here!”
Most of London’s city guards had gathered around the Thames River, but they weren’t enough to guide all the citizens.
“To think that I’d move three kilometers through the river of a big city. What are the hunters d—”
KUOOO-!!!
An unknown cry that was loud enough to shake the entire city spread through the sky.
The city guards looked toward the source of the sound to see a monster standing on the Thames River. It had a completely dark body, sharp teeth, and acid leaking from its mouth. Its red eyes shone.
KUOO! GRRR…
The giant monster that was menacing the city was over 50 meters tall—it was a rank 7 boss that was like a disaster.
‘A King’s Aura…’
It could absorb mana by attacking the hunters and release it as a beam when it wanted, but the scariest thing about a King’s Aura was its incredible regenerative capability. 
London was forced to take a defensive stance against the King’s Aura.
BOOM!
Weapon emplacements all along the tops of the city’s buildings were attacking the King’s Aura. London was prepared to face a giant monster of its nature.
That was why London had survived despite monsters bigger than buildings trying to attack it.
A laser shot out from the buildings and burned the King’s Aura’s body, a missile launched from the road slammed into it, and an endless amount of explosions ensued.
BOOM!
Not even all of those attacks could stop the King’s Aura from advancing. Even though its body was burned and smoke was rising from it, the King’s Aura kept walking through the Thames River.
TSS! BOOM!
Every time the King’s Aura moved, water from the Thames River splashed in all directions. London’s city guards couldn’t let it advance any further if they wanted to protect the citizens.
– Attention. We will deploy the city defense barrier on the Thames River territory, 32N 22A.
An order came out from their Pockets.
In the end, they allowed the activation of a national-level security weapon.
They were going to use a barrier that was only ever deployed in dire circumstances.
“We’re saved!”
As a veteran clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, a newbie city guard mumbled in confusion.
“Can we stop such a huge monster with a barrier…?”
“It seems like you’ve never seen it. A city defense barrier is really impressive. The biggest problem is that setting it up in the monster’s path can be difficult.
“It seems like that’s pretty solvable thanks to the monster walking in a straight line.”
“Yes.”
As the city guards focused their eyes on the Thames River, lights shot from all around and formed a square.
BZZT!
The lasers soon formed a blue surface.
Pang!
In the end, the city defense barrier that was reserved for large cities trapped the King’s Aura. China had been able to stop one of the Four Perils, a rank 6 boss called ‘Chaos’ with one such barrier.
The veteran city guards didn’t doubt the barrier and believed they only had to wait for the government to act since the monster was trapped.
But…
Creak-
The King’s Aura lowered its head, and red light gathered around its mouth. That was a sign that the King’s Aura was about to emit a beam.
“Don’t tell me… It’s going to use a beam inside a barrier?”
“Wouldn’t that be like committing suicide…?”
FWOOSH-!!
An intense red light shot out of the King’s Aura’s mouth—it was the damage the King’s Aura had turned into mana and gathered inside its body. 
Paf!!
Thanks to the artifact’s power, the beam bounced away.
The King’s Aura’s body began burning after it was hit with its own attack.
The more it burned, the more intense the light from its body grew.
“Don’t tell me-!”
“He’s trying to create a feedback loop with his own energy?!” the city guards shouted in surprise.
Creak-
The King’s Aura gathered itself. After being hit with the beam, its body was the color of lava.
FWOOSH-!!
The King’s Aura used that damage as fuel to attack once again.
PAF-!
Once again, the barrier reflected the King’s Aura’s beam. Blue and red lights shone over the city.
The more the barrier reflected the beam, the more fuel the King’s Aura gained from the damage.
Tsss.
The King’s Aura’s beam kept getting redder and stronger. Although the monster continued to burn, it kept regenerating. 
Crack!
First, a small fissure appeared.
Crack!!
A huge mana fragment split away.
The barrier ended up being crushed and scattered away as glass fragments.
A huge plume of smoke rose, and behind it, the King’s Aura’s giant body started to appear.
BZZT! Paf!!
That time, the King’s Aura’s beam started to sweep over the city. Soon after, all of the buildings near the Thames River were burned.
FWOOSH!
Even with the city defense barrier, they couldn’t stop the King’s Aura. It was a destructive power worthy of a rank 7 boss that was cataloged as a disaster.
London would keep being destroyed until the people from the Hunter’s Association arrived.
“The barrier…”
“Is… is this the end?”
The city guards fell into despair as they looked at the King’s Aura. The citizens were looking at the Thames River’s disaster from a distance.
Meanwhile, of the tower bridge of the Thames River…
One man sitting atop the bridge stopped the entire disaster.
“Tsk, tsk…”

The man looked around as if he didn’t care for something like the King’s Aura.
“This happened because they left the safety of a city to a machine like that.”
Grab!
The man clenched his fists as he looked at the King’s Aura. He didn’t have a weapon, just his bare hands, but that was enough.
The man’s fists were more dangerous than any city weapon emplacement.
That much was obvious, he was called the ‘Fist King’ for a reason, after all.
He was the man who ended up standing above all other hunters just by training his body.
KUOOOO-!!
As mana began gathering around Yu WonHak’s fist, the King’s Aura’s eyes started to shine. The monster’s seemingly dull senses sharpened.
It hadn’t reacted like that even when the entire city had attacked it but did at Yu WonHak’s attack.
Yu WonHak smirked.
“It seems like you’re a lizard with good senses.”
The rank 7 boss, King’s Aura’s destiny was fixed the moment WonHak clenched his fist.
Pang-!
Battle God Style Sura Fist Punch.
No one near the Thames River had seen such a destructive punch before.
PANG-!!!
The pressure swept forth in a fist of force, split the river, and swept away the surroundings.
Tap, tap.
Yu WonHak clicked his tongue as he shook off his hands.
A huge hole appeared in the King’s Aura’s body. A disaster-level monster had been annihilated by one attack from the Fist King.
BOOM-!!
As the King’s Aura fell to the Thames River, water splashed up again.
Yu WonHak had become the hero who saved London, but he was too used to situations like that.
“If you’re so big, you should have spit out an elixir for YuSung at least…” Yu WonHak complained from the tower bridge. 
A beautiful woman who seemed to be in her thirties suddenly appeared, smiled, and said, “You’re still good.”
