Chapter 250
Update Complete
Arthur sat calmly, listening to the Hunters around him explain what had happened, while his body still bore the lingering wounds from battles that had yet to heal.
They told him about the Jeju Island raid, how it had nearly ended in disgraceful failure, and how death had drawn closer to most of the Hunters step by step, had it not been for Sung Jin-Woo's intervention at the critical moment.
But Sung did not stay for long.
At the same time, he had been searching for the kidnapped Estaroth and Yoo Jin-Woo.
He killed the Ant King, undoubtedly the strongest member of the swarm, and helped the Hunters for a short while before hurriedly leaving to continue his search, leaving behind a battlefield still engulfed in flames.
It was true that the Ant King had been the greatest threat, but the remaining ants were by no means weak.
Some of them were killed by a powerful Chinese Hunter, but the rest swept through the city, mercilessly destroying large portions of it.
And this army… was the last remaining army of ants.
Arthur turned around and looked behind him.
The battle had ended some time ago.
His army, consisting of one hundred spiders, had completed the mission entirely.
He had lost forty spiders, but the rest remained standing, while the ant army had been completely annihilated, without exception.
"Where is Hunter Sung Jin-Woo now?"
"We really don't know."
With Arthur's intervention, the war between humanity and the ants had come to a definitive end.
There were no longer any fighting ants left anywhere on Earth.
"And what about the other Hunters? Where are they? Why didn't they help?"
"Most of the powerful Hunters and Guild Masters were on Jeju Island… and they haven't returned yet."
"Then how did you know everything that happened if it was still ongoing?"
"The live broadcast."
"Ah…"
Arthur felt how foolish his question had been and sighed quietly.
His mind began working rapidly.
'If the ant invasion is over… Sung killed the King, the Hunters eliminated some of them, and I finished off the last army… then the war really is over. But… where the hell is Sung now? And did he find Estaroth and Yoo Jin-Woo? And where is Kio?'
"Does anyone have a phone I can use?"
Without hesitation, the Hunter he had been speaking to took out his phone and handed it to him.
Arthur entered Sung's number and called.
Once…
Then again…
There was no answer.
'You bastard… answer.'
He continued calling without stopping.
"Yes?"
"You idiot, why aren't you answering your phone? Where are you?"
"Arthur? Arthur! You're back?"
"Yes, I came back about an hour ago… Now tell me, where are you?"
"I just got back too. I found Estaroth and Yoo Jin-Woo. They're fine… They're resting at my house now."
"Good. I'm coming."
Arthur hung up and returned the phone to the Hunter, then looked behind him thoughtfully.
'Hmm… I only have one hundred and fifty spiders now, since I didn't bring them all out. But I can summon three hundred soldiers. Alright… let's do it.'
He raised his hand toward the corpses of the ants and summoned fifty ants, adding them to his army before hiding them.
Then he headed toward Sung's house.
…
"Sung, are you here?"
Arthur knocked on the door as he stood in front of the house.
A few seconds later, light footsteps could be heard approaching quickly.
The door opened…
And a shadow rushed toward Arthur, wrapping its arms tightly around him.
The next moment, Arthur nearly lifted her and threw her to the ground instinctively, but he stopped when he realized who she was.
It was Sung's sister.
"Arthur! You're alright!"
'What the hell is going on here…'
A shiver ran through Arthur's body. He gently took her hands and moved them away from him respectfully.
"I'm back. How are you?"
"I was worried about you, Arthur… Ah, I'm sorry! Please, come inside."
'Since when has she been acting like this? Damn it… I don't have time for this.'
He smiled gently and stepped inside.
Inside, he found Sung talking with Yoo Jin-Woo, with Kio beside them, while Estaroth was lying peacefully in his lap.
"I'm back, you bastards."
"Arthur!"
"Brother Arthur!"
"My lord!"
|Arthur.|
"Huh?"
|The update is complete.|
"Cain?"
"Who?"
Sung and Yoo Jin-Woo asked in confusion, looking at Arthur, who had frozen in place.
'Finally… you bastard.'
A genuine smile of relief appeared on Arthur's face as he looked at his companions, all safe and sound. His happiness increased when he realized that Cain's evolution had finally ended.
…
Two hours later, Arthur returned to his home.
He learned that the ones who had kidnapped Estaroth and Yoo Jin-Woo were a group of mercenaries hired by an unknown person.
But the identity of that person… remained a mystery.
'Perhaps it was that bastard… the one who wants to kill me and Sung because of his brother.'
Arthur sat in the training hall, silently staring at the floor.
"Cain."
|Yes.|
"You took a long time, you bastard."
|What happened while I was away? And where is Rath, Arthur?|
Arthur slowly lowered his head.
Then he began explaining everything.
About his battle against the Great Ancients…
About Atlach-Nacha and her daughter…
About Abhoth…
And about Rath's death.
He hid nothing.
|I see…|
Arthur fell silent and said nothing, continuing to stare at the floor.
|You've become stronger, Arthur.|
Arthur could feel the sadness and pain in Cain's voice, but he realized that Cain was trying to change the subject so as not to weigh heavily on him.
"Yes… I faced many hardships and bloody battles. So, Cain…"
|Yes?|
"The Status Window."
