Episode 150: Chuncheon (3)

‘What the heck, this kid?’

If he had bounced the blaster, any decent hunter would have died without even being able to respond.

Even if we give in a hundred times, he should have suffered at least a serious injury. This is because he fired the explosive at full power.

However, Kang-hoo created a protective barrier and blocked the incoming attack with a blast of air.

Although the barrier was completely destroyed, the ki-gong-bombs also lost their original power and disappeared.

In the end, it was an equivalent exchange. Mutual destruction occurred and it became like it never happened.

Jung Seon-rak was curious about Kang-hoo’s true identity, whose skill chain he couldn’t figure out at all.

Since half of his face was covered by a mask, there was no way to know anything other than that he was an assassin.

one side.

After experiencing Zeng Xianlak’s qigong bomb attack once, Kang-hu gave up on the idea of ​​fighting him one-on-one.

It’s not just a one-on-one situation.

Looking behind him, he saw the Matan snipers readjusting their positions.

The distance was now out of reach, but the ceaseless sniping ahead had stopped.

There was no telling when the entrenched snipers might pull their trigger again.

In addition, although there was some distance, there was a fair amount of mercenaries running towards them to provide support.

Woof-. Woof-.

When Kang-hoo looked around, the entire space was slightly shaking.

High-level qigong practitioners can create these kinds of changes in the space around them without doing anything.

What the ripples in space mean is that trickery like illusions is completely blocked.

Even if you spread out a welcoming spell, the illusion will dance like a stick of candy as soon as you get caught up in that sway.

Then, it becomes easy to distinguish it from the original without looking any further. There is no point in using skills at all.

‘The objective direction itself is the same. I’m trying to get into the lab, and that guy is trying to stop me from getting into the lab.’

The final destination was the same for both himself and Zengshenlak. The only difference was the desired outcome.

So Kang-hoo decided to go with the obvious flow of ‘you and I both know it’ and then make a big twist once.

In any case, the opponent will likely have considerable confidence in their own abilities.

In that case, it would be natural rather than awkward to show that you are trying to avoid combat in any way.

Kang-hoo thought of twisting that obviousness. Like a cornered rat suddenly biting a cat.

I glanced toward the lab.

There has been no sign of the lab opening the door or anyone coming out to greet them.

It’s a wise decision.

If you open the wrong door, you might get kicked right through the entrance by Jungseonrak.

The reason the research center can withstand a multinational mercenary force now is because it has a thick iron gate.

This is thanks to the defensive barriers that have been built around the iron gate and snipers that have been deployed to cover them.

But once the iron gate is breached, there is no way to stop the determined mercenary force from rushing in.

There was less combat power within the First Research Institute than expected, so there was no answer if it was breached.

This is also an accident caused by lack of safety awareness.

It was also a fatal safety blunder for one of the Red Key holders, who was required to be present at all times, to go out without permission.

It was also a mistake for Jeongmun Pharmaceuticals to have predicted that they, who had focused solely on technology development, would become the target.

It was the minimal preparations we had made just in case that allowed us to buy this much time.

But that doesn’t last long.

The next large-scale attack would not have been able to withstand it unless the main gate was restricted by a large barrier activated by the Red Key.

at that time.

‘One person.’

Kang-hoo felt the aim of a sniper concentrated in his direction.

This is thanks to ‘Intuition’, one of the constellation abilities obtained from the Strategist of the Wilderness.

As much as you can intuitionally recognize the fact before you even take aim.

Despite numerous sniping attacks ahead, Kang-hoo was able to cleverly avoid the danger zone in advance.

It’s the same now.

The intuitive perception made it clear that the sniper’s target was not himself, but Zeng Seon-rak.

‘If it’s a joint attack, it’s worth doing.’

Kang-hoo felt that the sniper was waiting for the right moment, even though he could clearly target Jung-seon-rak even now. There was no exchange of glances, but he could sense it from experience.

If a sniper fails once, your position will be exposed and the enemy will become more alert.

That’s why there’s a saying that the best sniping is one sniping. It’s a saying that fits real combat perfectly.

Phew!

The shadow walk unfolded immediately.

Shadow Step is the most useful for now, as the Welcome spell is being suppressed.

Kang-hoo hardly ever used hiding from the moment he encountered Jung-seon-rak. It was useless.

Qigong practitioners are skilled at manipulating the surrounding energy or intentionally disrupting the flow of energy.

Even the most secret location is immediately revealed.

Rather, from the perspective of a qigong master, he welcomes the assassin’s hiding place.

Because when an assassin goes into hiding, he feels more psychologically stable and confident than usual.

The alertness falls unconsciously.

‘Chase me. When the fun of chasing is at its peak, I’ll become a rat that bites the cat.’

Taang!

Pfft!

In the meantime, there was a brief exchange of fire. It was the scene where Jung Seon-rak’s rockets and Kang Hu’s mortar collided.

Taang!

Another flying bomb.

Kaching!

This time, Kang-hoo used the abandoned iron plate he brought back from the kidnapping to block the air-blasting bullets in a nice way.

If you look at the superficial picture, there has never been a more unfair engagement.

While Kang-hoo is using his defensive skills with all his might.

Because Zengshenrak can attack with just a few snaps of his fingers.

But that’s something I don’t know.

Zengshenlak also gathered as much energy as possible and unleashed it towards Kanghu all at once.

So every time it got blocked by a skill and scattered, I felt a deep anger.

I thought that this one-on-one situation should have been resolved a long time ago.

Right then.

“under.”

Kang-hoo, who had never let out even a single breath until now, opened his mouth toward Jeong Seon-rak.

Jung Seon-rak felt that even this skilled assassin had reached his limit.

It can’t be helped.

We’ve come such a long way without stopping.

Even if you had come here after inhaling a lot of drugs, you could say that you had endured a lot.

That’s right. It was time to spread. It had reached its limit, and it was time to explode.

At that moment.

“… … !”

Jung Seon-rak felt the sniper’s gaze directed at him.

This is the expected result.

We knew from the beginning that there were snipers targeting those approaching from the outskirts of Research Center 1.

It was neither new nor surprising, as it was something that had been included in the prediction category from the beginning.

‘Yeah, that’s what all assassins are like. They’re probably just trying to buy time by sniping before they can get in.’

The numbers are obvious.

It’s a good strategy to know and fall for, but that only applies when the person falling for it is a slacker with no skills.

Even when he was chasing Kang-hoo, Jung-seon-rak had already thought of this picture in advance.

That means that he has already come prepared to break the picture board.

Taang!

Magic sparks ignited inside the lab, and a magic bullet aimed at Zengshenlak flew in in an instant.

【Qigong Gangbyeok】

But it was blocked in vain.

The protective barrier of the Gang-hoo was made of incomparably thick qi walls that easily blocked the magic bullets.

Even the slightly cracked level made further sniping pointless.

【Thousand Waves of Storms】

Jung Seon-rak pulled out his ultimate skill.

Anyone can clearly see that Kang-hoo is trying to enter the nearest research lab door.

So, without overthinking it, I just wanted to tear apart everything in that direction.

Whether you try to block it or clumsily dodge it, it will explode and you will die without being able to do anything.

Swish!

Then, Kang-hu, who had been moving backwards repeatedly, suddenly ran towards Jeong Seon-rak.

“joy.”

Jung Seon-rak snorted.

Even if a dog passing by sees it, it’s obvious that he’s using the clone technique to buy time.

This is a typical assassin’s repertoire. It’s a trick to delay time by using clones or illusions.

Because it was a work he had experienced so many times, Jung Seon-rak didn’t pay any attention to the clone.

As expected, he only passed by Jungseonrak and did nothing.

In a situation where you are desperate to escape, you will not have the presence of mind to control the clone you created with the clone technique.

Clone magic isn’t an easy skill to handle.

As expected.

Kang-hoo, who was running towards the lab, was busy moving his body left and right, putting on a ‘live show’.

It looked like a pitiful gesture of trying to somehow evade the air-grenade attack.

It’s pointless.

Because it’s going to blow up the entire space. The only thing that can survive inside is something as solid as steel.

Cookies, cookies, cookies!

The shockwave of the lightning that flew in an instant engulfed all structures, including Gang-hoo.

The shockwave was so powerful that the concrete exterior walls were ripped apart, scattering dust.

The same goes for Kang-hoo, who was involved.

Kang-hoo, who tried to dodge by flying, was caught in the blast and met his worst end as his body was torn to pieces.

It was a sad ending, to the point where it was torn like a piece of paper, making you feel sorry for it.

however.

“… … ?”

The ending was strange.

When a person is torn to pieces and killed, the blood and flesh that should naturally splatter everywhere were nowhere to be seen.

Especially blood!

Even if you cut it a little, the red drops of blood that drip down like drops were nowhere to be seen.

As if each fleeting moment were an eternity, countless thoughts passed through Jeongseonrak’s mind.

That too for a moment.

A shiver ran down his spine, starting from the back of his neck, enveloping Jeungseonrak’s entire body.

I realized that I had been caught off guard.

This is Kang-hoo’s move that took a huge risk and perfectly exploited his weakness.

Pfft!

As Zengshenlak reflexively threw his body forward, he released a wave of qi energy backward, gaining momentum.

The reason was simple.

Because it wasn’t Kang-hoo’s clone that passed by him, but his real self. It was because the rear was in danger.

Was the response quick?

Jung Seon-rak was satisfied that he had escaped the scene without any pain.

Kang-hoo caught up to them, but it seems he wasn’t able to continue the attack. It was a blessing in disguise.

But right then.

Gulp.

There was a hot feeling running down the back of my thigh. A liquid that I could only assume was blood.

To add insult to injury, a burning pain coursed through my hamstring muscles.

It wasn’t without pain.

Because the stab wound to the back of her thigh occurred so quickly, there wasn’t enough time for the pain to be felt.

“Nimi… … .”

Jung Seon-rak’s expression distorted.

Once you’ve taken a big hit, you have to somehow block the next attack. You have to protect yourself.

【Qigong Gangbyeok】

So without even looking, I ran to the rear and unleashed a wall of qi energy. To buy some time.

The response was neat.

But Kang-hoo had no intention of attacking the wall from the beginning.

just.

widely!

All it took was a nice flick of the finger.

【Blood】

Pupupupu!

There was an explosion of red blood, and Zeng Xianlao’s body floated into the air.

It’s definitely X.

At that moment, that was the only thought on Jung Seon-rak’s mind.

Fear of death. A chilling feeling of dread began to surge in like an unbearable tidal wave.
