Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - Resolution

Noah looked at the man in front of him as he continued speaking. "You could have stopped all of this a while ago you know"

He looked towards the man that was missing a hand and had a bloody chest. The entire time they were fighting, he had plastered a ton of [Explosive Rune]s on the man’s body. The tattoos spread all over him without notice, and he had detonated two of them just now.

A burst of hysterical laughter came out from Anderson. "Stop? Stop? Haha! Do you really think I could stop? Power was all I had, and now someone like you, someone that has awakened barely a few days can already stand above me? Bullshit!"

Anderson’s wounded body stood up and moved once more, his words that were dripping in anger had somehow given him even more power. The dark red haze that was constantly created from his inherent skill, {WRATHFUL} wrapped around him and became even more condensed. [Giants Strength] was also activated once more.

As the man stood and raised his one good remaining hand arcs of red lightning began to pulsate from his sword.

Noah turned his face from this and looked towards the five party members that had been watching this entire fight. He saw a rueful and expectant expression on the faces of Anderson’s original party members. Rachel was staring at both of them in a distasteful manner while wiping the dust and rubble from her body

He then turned back towards the rushing Anderson and watched him come forward as if he was looking at a flickering flame in the wind. "Strength isn’t having the power to look down on others."

As soon as Noah’s words finished, another loud explosion rang out as Anderson’s body was inexplicably blown away.

A crazed laugh could be heard as the explosion cleared "Haha. I am being lectured by a child. I am being lectured by someone who doesn’t understand how the world works. Do you know what I’ve done with my power? The monsters I destroyed? The pathetic people I’ve killed? The women I’ve taken? Do you know?!"

The right leg on Anderson was the next limb to be missing as he lay tattered on the ground. He turned his head to observe his leg, and then at his left arm, that was also missing. He then stared at the man that kept looking at him with the same calm expression on his face. He felt like he was being looked down upon.

He had to bring his eyes up to meet the gaze of this man and he laughed even more. "Haha. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna kill the strongest hunter in the city? Are you going to damn the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?"

Noah was slowly walking towards the destroyed man as he began talking. "The strongest hunter in the city huh. Do you really believe that you still hold that title?"

His words were slow, but rang out as if they were a clap of lightning in Anderson’s ears. Noah gave the man in front of him a look of pity as his hands wrapped around Anderson’s neck. He looked at the man that was about to perish from this changed world forever and shook his head in disappointment.

BOOM!

A thundering explosion rang out on the clearing once more, and the infamous rank B hunter of Outer Bank X was lying down without a head.

Noah let out a deep sigh as he looked at the body of the so-called strongest hunter in front of him and felt relief. He didn’t want to be like this man one day. Shouting his ideals on someone stronger only to die soon after

He deactivated the many defensive and support skills on his body as he shifted his face onto the items that Anderson wore. They were C rank equipment, and even though they were currently damaged because of [Explosive Rune], they had a self-repairing property and they would be as good as normal in a few days.

Near Anderson there laid a thick blue book. This was why hunters were regularly hunted down by other hunters if they were jealous enough and had the balls to do it. Killing any hunter had a definite chance of dropping the highest-ranked skill that they were using.

Unscrupulous lower-ranked hunters sometimes worked in groups that target those one rank higher than them, either ambushing them in their sleep through other unsavory means.
