Chapter 151
The Fortress Trembles
The burst of mana hits like a physical wave.
Choi Jihun feels it before he sees it—a pressure in the air, a shift in the weight of the world. His eyes snap open. Across the table, every other hunter in the Association hall goes rigid, their heads turning toward the source.
"Fuck," Jihun breathes.
He's already moving. His chair scrapes back, his body dissolving into water before his mind catches up. The other S-class hunters follow—flashes of blue, of red, of shadow and light and wind—streaking out of the hall, leaving the lesser hunters gasping in their wake.
Outside, the pavement is cracked. A crater smolders where Daelan stood moments ago. And in the distance, a streak of darkness is already vanishing in the setting light of sector A.
Jihun doesn't hesitate. He becomes water, becomes light, becomes speed itself, chasing the shadow that was once his brother.
