Jinhyuk was standing with his mana covered blade pointing towards Steven . Sophie and Chris were standing beside Jinhyuk in each direction . Sophie's hairs were bright golden as it radiated a holy glow , Chris's hairs were silver and he released a blackish-red mana which could seem demonic to some people . Jinhyuk's left eye was shining brightly .
"Chris , take the right . Sophie , take left" said Jinhyuk
"Roger" said both of them
Jinhyuk rushed towards the dragon which Steven was riding . His blade was now having a coat of the mix of red and blue mana which came from Jinhyuk's form . He wanted to slash the head of the beast but it opened it's mouth .
-Dragon Breath
A purple flame rushed towards Jinhyuk as it enveloped him . The smoke cleared to reveal Jinhyuk in a perfect condition . He was protected by his mana shield . Sophie and Chris were also struggling . Sophie had it a little easy than Chris as she can use holy magic which is most effective against Undead .

Jinhyuk analysed the movement pattern of the beast . He gathered the mana on his blade as he rushed towards it . The hit by the tail , the dragon breath and the wing attack were all neglected by Jinhyuk . His heart was excluding mana but somehow it was still not enough . Jinhyuk was barely dodging the attacks of the dragon . It had suddenly become faster than before . Steven sat above with a smile on his face as he was sure about the end of Jinhyuk .
'Urgh , this is difficult .
How can I increase my efficiency ? Think Think
Wait a minute , I have the Sword and Body unity
If I spread the mana from my heart to all the parts of my body to enhance them ?
That sounds like a plan '
Jinhyuk closed his eyes . His other senses were sharp and it can save him for closing his eyes . Jinhyuk spread the mana from his heart to each and every inch of the body . He could feel his power rising

Jinhyuk's mana spread not only from his heart but now each of his body part utilises the mana . His base speed increased 3 times as the dragon didn't seem fast enough . Jinhyuk was not facing it head-on but rather using gaps in its attacks to strike the dragon one at a time with a critical hit . This frustated Steven . He started to gather mana in his arms . The dark red mana used the demonic energy inside his body . The dragon was transforming .
The three separate dragons merged into one . The beast resulted in a big dragon with three heads and long necks . That was also not the whole as layers of skin started enveloping the dragon . Steven was now not on the dragon , he levitated up just above the dragon . The city on the other hand was in chaos . Many demonic humans with their summons were trying to take control of the city . The guild members of not only the top 5 guilds but also many smaller guilds and the Association are defending the city . The monster wave consists of more than 5000 undead creatures and 500 demonic humans .
Chris and Sophie were confused as to why the dragon before them suddenly disappeared . They heard Jinhyuk's voice in their communication devices .
" This is Jinhyuk "
" Yes , Jinhyuk-ssi we can hear you" said Chris
" Yes Jinhyuk , tell us you command ? " said Sophie
" The dragon transformed . It is now more powerful . You both won't be able to handle it . You both defend the city "
" But what about the dragon ? "
" I will face it "
" What ? "
" Yes , now go "
" Alright "
Both of them headed towards the city where the others are fighting the beasts . Jinhyuk on the other hand was standing in front of the dragon . Steven still levitating . The tail smash of the dragon was heavy than the last one as it destroyed many structures . Jinhyuk was dodging the smashes . Steven seemed like he was getting quite pissed off at Jinhyuk . He wasn't able to land a single blow on Jinhyuk .
Jinhyuk on the other hand had planned everything in his mind . He was going according to the plan to kill the dragon . The dragon was undoubtedly the strongest undead which Jinhyuk has seen . This was probably because Steven's S-Rank powers resonated when he awakened as a Demonic Human increasing the skill capacity and capability .
The fight between Jinhyuk and Steven was going on at the edge of the city but the Demonic Humans with their undead were attacking the defenses of the city to make it weaker . Jinhyuk was looking towards the place his sister and friends were fighting . He was now getting quite pissed of as well . He looked towards the dragon as he released his breath . A cold gust of light breeze left Jinhyuk's mouth as he stomped his leg on the ground .
-crack--crack--whoosh--swish-
The ground started to freeze as the dragon also got stuck in its position . Its body slowly got covered in ice . Steven was looking with a surprised look on his face . Jinhyuk snapped his fingers as the ice broke and the dragon was eliminated . This was a true surprise for Steven who thought that Jinhyuk was barely keeping up with the dragon but actually he had the power to kill the dragon instantly despite that he didn't . He rushed towards the place others were fighting . The shield guarding the city was about to break as all the S-Ranks poured their powers into it . The mana of everyone of them reached rock bottom trying to maintain this big scale city sized barrier . They managed to hold of until now but the shield wasn't able to hold any longer as it shattered .
As soon as it shattered all the undead creatures rushed inside with great speed . Seol-ah was taking out her sword but she forgot to maintain her guard . As soon as she realised she looked up and frightened when an undead creature leaped towards her with its big nail bones extended which could tear apart her in a moment . She felt time stopped infront of her . The undead creatures wrecked the city havoc as all the hunters were fighting them . Seol-ah closed her eyes but she didn't feel any pain on her body . She opened her eyes as she saw that Jinhyuk carried her and moved at the city center where the others were present .
"Oppa ?"
"You okay ?"
"Y-Yeah"
"Good"
Jinhyuk saw her sister fighting as well as Chris and Sophie . Jinhyuk slashed his sword once in the air as the air pressure released from it threw the undead away from the hunters . Jinhyuk came towards his sister as he handed Seol-ah
"Sis , please take care of her"
"Alright but you be careful too"
"Okay"
The creatures rushed again towards the hunters . Jinhyuk asked everyone to lower their swords . They didn't want that but they also cannot ignore the orders of Jinhyuk . They lowered their weapons . Jinhyuk closed his eyes as he held his sword with two arms . He concentrated mana on his sword and body .

-AZURE SWORD ART : FIRST FORM > SPACE DEVOURER-
A star like light spread all throughout the city . It was as if a star has decended upon here . The light released as a pillar of bright light as it eventually diminished . The dust settled as everyone saw that the undeads were no longer present . They perished into a big ravine created by Jinhyuk's sword dividing the earth to a distance of more than 500 meters .
Jinhyuk sheathed his sword . Everyone present there looked dumbfounded . They weren't able to assess the situation but it was suddenly broken as everyone yelled in excitement . Sumi leaped towards Jinhyuk as Chris and Sophie sat on the ground in exhaustment . They also had a smile on their faces .
Steven on the other hand was boiling with rage . He was completely sure that he with his own with the added power of Demonic Humans could completely eliminate Jinhyuk but he wasn't so sure now . He can now only resort to his last resort against Jinhyuk . The potion which the Cardinal gave him to increase his strength almost 5 times after consuming it .
Jinhyuk celebrated but not for long . His gaze shifted to Steven along with others . Chris and Sophie were surely angry on Steven . They released killing intent . The killing intent took over the battlefield . Everyone except for Jinhyuk , Sumi and Seol-ah were suppressed as they felt the fear .
"They certainly live upto my expectations of S-Rank" said Jinhyuk
Steven let out a roar deafening the battlefield . It effected everyone except the S-Ranks .
"Y-You are worthy to deserve death Jinhyuk !!!!!" said Steven
"Oh ? Who will kill me exactly ?" replied Jinhyuk
"That honour is mine . I will free this world from your terror"
"Terror , huh !? . Interesting . I guess you wanna play ?"
"You bastard"
Steven took out a potion and drank it as he threw the bottle . His body started changing after consuming it . His eyes became red , veins popped up throughout his body , his body grew larger in size as he released a red omnious aura . Jinhyuk watched calmly while others were surprised .
'Demonification' this was one thought came to Jinhyuk
[Ding]
[Skill : Eye of Gluttony (SSS) activated]
Jinhyuk could see the flow of mana in Steven's body . His mana has changed to that of a demon . Steven was using the power of a demon on exchange of his life force . Jinhyuk could clearly see that Steven's life force was draining .
Steven rushed towards the place the hunters stood .
"Kill the person who started it" yelled Steven
He rushed towards Sumi forming a punch to slam on her . Sumi wasn't able to move , her body gave up infront of this monster . Steven was the world's strongest hunter and after this transformation his power grew more beyond . Sumi was about to be crushed . At that moment , she felt a hand on her right arm as she got thrown towards Seol-ah. Seol-ah grabbed her tightly . The punch connected but not with Sumi , Jinhyuk removed her from the way before the punch connected .
The air pressure released was too great . The A-Ranks got thrown away while the S-Ranks found it difficult to stand . The dust and smoke cleared as everyone saw that Jinhyuk was holding Steven's hand with his left hand and blocking the punch . Jinhyuk didn't break a sweat . He threw off Steven's arm as he punched him on the face . Steven flew away as he crashed inside a building .
The building was quite but suddenly it started shaking . A red beam of light released from Steven rised towards the sky like a pillar of light . Jinhyuk smiled . He thought this was a perfect opportunity .
'Let's try this Mystic Physique I got some time back'
[Ding]
[Authority : Mystic Physique (T) activated]
Jinhyuk's body started transforming . He started walking towards Steven as his body got covered in blue flames . The flames slowly releasing . His arms revealed first , their was a strange pattern glowing in blue colour on his left arm , the body revealed next . His clothes had changed in blue colour with a white pattern resembling a six-winged angel . His face was the most changed part . The strange pattern extended from his left arm to his forehead crossing the left eye . His hair was blue as well his eyes .
When Jinhyuk reached before Steven , his transformation completed as the flames got absorbed inside his body . Jinhyuk rised up from the ground , he slowly reached Steven's height . Steven was still releasing his red omnious mana with a rage expression . Jinhyuk had a cold expression , he too released his mana as a pillar of blue light reached towards the sky .
The skies of Seoul had two towers rising beside one another . The both had a equal level of power which was sensed by the others .
'His first form was already powerful but this is whole another level' thought Sophie
'He deserves to be No.1' thought Chris
