NOVEL WEB Chapter 68: The Cost of Arrogance (Part 2)
With a swift motion, he raised his hand, and a seed burst forth from the ground, hurtling straight at Kim Haru's face. If this hit, even if Kim Haru escaped unscathed, his face would surely be ruined beyond recognition!
Gasps erupted from the crowd!
Gwon Damjin wore a smug grin, eager to hear his opponent's scream of agony.
However, right before everyone's eyes, the vine that shot out from the seed rapidly grew, racing toward Kim Haru. But as soon as it reached him, it instantly flopped back down like a deflated balloon!
Gwon Damjin's eyes widened in disbelief!
What's going on here? Could this person also be a plant-type ability user? No, no— even if he were, there's no way he could control his plants without a hint of awareness!
Unless, unless he's an ability user that was several levels higher than me!
Gwon Damjin refused to accept this possibility.
The two ability users who followed Yoo Wonduk witnessed the scene as well, they're exchanging glances before charging forward together!
One wielding fire and the other wind, combining their powers, the fire surged with the wind's strength. In an instant, a large swath of bright red flames ignited in the air, and it sounded as if the dust in the atmosphere was crackling from the heat.
"He's a Level 2 ability user! Boss, hurry up run!"
The crowd erupted in panic, with some of the more timid individuals unable to bear watching any longer and turning away in fear.
The situation was dangerous and everyone believed they were about to witness a disastrous scene.
At that moment, everyone expected Kim Haru, who seemed doomed, to finally make a move.
However, he just stood up.
The scorching wind and flames swept toward him with a force of destruction, the fire tongues ready to scorch Kim Haru's hair in the next instant.
At that moment Kim Haru began to move and extended his hand.
He quickly stored the unsold cabbages and potatoes into his system backpack.
The onlookers were left speechless.
Even when death was imminent, he was still busy gathering his vegetables! What good would that do now? If he died later, everything in his space would just explode out anyway!
Hurry and escape!
The crowd—including Gwon Damjin, Yoo Wonduk, and the two ability users who had attacked Kim Haru—had already condemned Kim Haru to death in their minds. It was likely that before he could even retract his hand, he would be reduced to ashes.
They watched, waiting for the inevitable...
But wait?
What's happening? Why hasn't the fire reached him yet?
As they focused, they realized that, at some point, the fierce flames had actually stopped right in front of Kim Haru. It looked as if it was burning fiercely, but it hadn't even singed a single hair on him.
The faces of the wind-type and fire-type ability users changed instantly!
Without needing to confer, the two of them immediately intensified their attack, launching another massive fireball straight at Kim Haru. The flickering flames glowed red and blue, clearly much hotter than before!
