Episode 281: Battle (2)

* * *

“What, what is it… … ?”

“Black magic?”

“Huh?”

In an instant, the minds of all three hunters were sold to the corrupted beast.

They actually had Ayane surrounded, and since she had lowered her rifle slightly, they could afford to take it easy.

Of course, this is assuming that there are no other intruders in this place besides Ayane and the three of them.

When they saw the fallen water, they should have immediately recognized the presence of others.

The wizard who was somewhat quick-witted flinched and stepped back, but one of the inspectors was slow to react.

“Ugh!”

The prosecutor who had been standing in a triangle formation surrounding Ayane was dragged backwards with his body bent into a C shape.

I was kidnapped by Kang-hoo.

‘I always feel this way, but the success rate for blatant kidnapping is really low, while the success rate for covert kidnapping is really high.’

Kang-hoo smiled as he watched the inspector being dragged in, flapping violently in the air.

That’s the beauty of skill.

Even skills that don’t work well if the opponent knows about them and prepares for them can work quite well if used by surprise.

【Surprise】

【Shallow Chaos】

【hallucination】

Kang-hoo used three mental disruption skills in succession on the flying inspector without even knowing what attracted him.

Mental Disturbance 3 Combo.

This is a skill chain that Kang-hoo created in one bundle.

Mental skills, like kidnapping skills, are also effective when you are flustered, defenseless, or confused.

This is even more so if, like the current inspector Hunter, he was dragged in without even knowing who he was being treated by.

In the meantime.

As soon as the inspector was dragged away and an escape route opened up, Ayane ran at full speed and immediately turned her gun.

However, because it was so close and there was not enough time, it was impossible to take aim.

It would have been perfectly possible to fire a warning shot to keep the other two hunters from approaching.

Taang! Taang!

Gunshots are heard, and Ayane’s position is closer to Kang-hoo than the enemies.

“Fuck!”

Meanwhile, Hunter, the prosecutor who was suddenly dragged in by Kang-hoo, swung his sword wildly while cursing.

It was a full-out swordsmanship attack to turn a crisis into an opportunity, but his attack accidentally pierced the ground.

This is because the sense of direction is turned upside down in a shallow confusion due to the darkening of the field of vision caused by the robbing of sight, and hallucinations are added.

He may have thought he had dug in the exact spot where Kang-hoo was, but it turned out he had dug in the wrong place.

Turup!

“Cough!”

Soon, the eyes of the prosecutor who was caught by Kang-hoo’s hands turned bloodshot.

【Hatred – You can maximize the evil power of the gloves by utilizing magic power.】

This was because the Hatred option of the Resentment Gloves was activated.

The evil force that grew stronger as the magical power exploded into the glove crushed the inspector’s neck.

It was so sudden that I couldn’t breathe, and even though I was a skilled hunter, it was difficult to respond properly.

Not being able to breathe was a secondary problem, and because the blood wasn’t flowing upward, I couldn’t see properly.

【Hell of Thorns】

While holding the inspector’s neck with one hand, he deployed the Thorn Hell with the other hand.

The beheading was spared.

The chest armor worn by the Inspector Hunter appears to be more durable than expected.

Because the remaining two hunters were moving this way.

If he fails to escape in time after landing a fatal blow, the inspector may end up killing them but leaving those two at his side.

Just looking at the scanned constellation information, it seemed like the hunter was around level 400, so Kang-hoo was also cautious.

Ensuring Ayane’s safety is the top priority, and killing those guys comes next. The priorities haven’t changed.

Card grab!

“Kwaaak!”

A thorny hell rose from the ground and pierced the sole of the Hunter’s foot, which was hanging from Kang-hoo’s hand.

The thorn that pierced the sole of the foot crushed the bone and tore all the way to the instep.

【Flame of Death】

Then, Kang-hoo activated the Flame of Death in the hand holding the sword.

Then, in an instant, the inspector’s entire body was engulfed in flames, and he was burned alive.

‘Let’s get out.’

This is enough.

They had made it to the point where it was not even worth living, so it seemed like they wouldn’t be able to live long in that state.

【Annihilation】

After Kang-hoo activated Jin-myeong, he retreated all the way back with Ayane, who had just joined him.

Pupupupu!

Then, the flames exploded, and the inspector’s body, which had been engulfed in fire, fluttered about uncontrollably.

at that time.

【Lightning ratio】

Just in case, Kang-hoo took out a spare dagger from his bosom and threw it at the inspector.

It was a blow that was thrown with force, rather than with any intention, just to see what the response would be.

Phew!

“… … !”

But the situation ended.

The dagger was stuck right in the center of the inspector’s forehead, killing him instantly.

The fact that he was dead could be known from the constellation robbery message that was activated at the same time to Kang-hoo.

【Creativity】

【A neutral constellation. It synthesizes two skills into one skill. However, the success rate is 51%.】

‘This is almost a gambling constellation.’

Kang-hoo burst into laughter.

It seems that there is a constellation like this.

It is a constellation that is burdensome to the average hunter. This is because the skill itself is very precious in the first place.

Even the detailed tooltips were activated and the content was written in a complex manner, but I didn’t have time to look at it right now.

“Kang Hoo!”

“are you okay?”

“Yeah, thanks. What the heck is this… … .”

“We’ll talk about it later.”

Kang-hoo drew Ayane’s attention, whose eyes were welling up as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

As with the first plan, we succeeded in equalizing the number of people. However, it is still a two-man situation.

It’s a situation where it’s worth a try, but it’s not like we’ve won. Rather, it’s like it’s just the beginning.

Kang-hoo suddenly remembered a constellation and glanced at it to confirm.

【Successor of the Crossroads】

【You can learn one skill from a hunter you kill.

Upon completion of the study, the contract with the constellation will be converted into a contract that increases Dark Age by 25.】

This is a constellation stolen from the black magician of the Toushi Guild, whom I encountered in a previous battle with Cha So-hyeok.

The three hunters you see here.

There might be someone among them who has useful skills.

In that case, I was planning to make full use of this constellation ability. Skills are always beneficial.

“The composition has become simpler.”

“I know.”

This one is an assassin and a sniper.

The other side is a wizard for inspection.

The structure is the same, with one melee and one ranged attack. At least it becomes clear who should be in charge.

at that time.

The wizard hunter pointed his finger directly at Kang-hoo and said.

“You. I don’t know who you are, but I think it would be better if the three of you just disappeared.”

“Kang-hoo. … … I don’t know you?”

“Don’t emphasize it.”

Ayane giggled as she watched Kang-hoo being treated like an ‘unknown person’ by the wizard.

Rather than saying he didn’t know because he was trying to ignore it, it seemed like he said that because he really didn’t know Kang-hoo.

However, Kang-hoo read the trembling in the wizard hunter’s voice.

Although he spoke with confidence, he couldn’t hide the trembling that came with his breathing.

It can’t be helped.

Because in the recent skirmish, Kang-hoo lost his life without being able to do anything to the inspector.

If he had injured Kang-hoo or caused significant damage to his power and died, it would have been a valuable death.

Since he died without any reason, it was essentially a dog’s death.

In a situation where it’s annoying that reinforcements have appeared, the level is high, so you can’t help but get very tense.

Kang-hoo answered.

“What if you don’t want to turn it off?”

“Then I have to die.”

“Are you sure?”

“Do you think we came here to kill that bitch with the intention of compromising and leaving?”

“I think that idea has already been ruined because of that guy.”

With a nod, Kang-hoo pointed to the dead body of the inspector Hunter. Then he spoke softly to Ayane.

“Just focus on the wizards. I’ll take care of the inspections, so don’t worry about that.”

“okay.”

“It’s obvious to anyone that you’ll die because you’re going to hell, where you’ll be a nuisance. That’s not normal. You’re too precious to die now.”

“… … .”

Ayane’s eyes waver.

And the words that follow.

“If this situation can be resolved, I will repay the favor of saving my life for the rest of my life.”

“Ugh. Let’s talk after we sort things out.”

Kang-hoo chuckled.

We cannot be optimistic about the results yet.

Unlike the dead inspector before, the other two look good in basic posture and the quality of the constellations is also much better.

Even if you estimate the level as low as possible, it’s 400. Both of them are higher level than Kang-hoo.

The wizard said.

“I guess I shouldn’t say nice things.”

“Shut up and come in. Or should I go?”

“This kid! Take him down, f*ck!”

The wizard shouted, enraged by Kang-hoo’s provocation. He was already quite angry, having lost one of his comrades.

The wizard is casting a spell right away, and the inspector is rushing in, clutching his greatsword.

First, I reset the order for the corrupted creatures to attack only magicians until they die and disappear.

It will persistently disrupt the wizard’s concentration and skill casting by repeatedly spinning and falling in the air.

While Ayane reloads.

The wizard’s fire magic attack, taking advantage of that gap, flew towards her in a parabolic arc.

Perhaps because one strike was deemed insufficient, several more fireballs were added in succession.

【Wall of Integrity】

Kang-hoo continued to monitor the movements of the approaching inspector, while building a wall in the path of the fireball.

Then he took out another spare dagger and swung it with all his might towards the inspector.

The goal wasn’t to kill him or hurt him. The goal was to make him lose his momentum.

“Wow!”

Because the dagger flew at an angle too sharp to be ignored.

Kyaang!

The stopped inspector struck Kang-hoo’s dagger away.

Having seen my fellow inspector leave this world with a dagger stuck in his forehead, I had no choice but to respond.

From Kang-hoo’s perspective, he was able to break the enemy’s attack with a single dagger thrown lightly as a deterrent.

Kwuung! Kwuung! Boom!

Meanwhile, the magician’s fireball flew in and hit the Innocent Wall, pushing Kang-hoo back.

Although the durability was reduced considerably, the damage was not enough to be a burden.

The body was only pushed back slightly. The wizard probably didn’t use his full power skill.

“… … ?”

A question mark appeared in the wizard’s eyes.

Although it was intended as a deterrent, it was a skill with fairly strong power, and it was deployed consecutively.

Knowing that the opponent was a combination of assassins and gunners, this was a skill I chose as my top priority, targeting their weak defense.

But it was blocked nicely.

The opponent was an assassin who had no choice but to build a wall to defend himself.

For an assassin, a defensive skill of that level is not only excessive, it is a skill that should not be there.

The wizard’s mind became confused.

The Hayabusa Guild learned of Ayane’s entry into Germany shortly after she had completed the entry procedures.

Unless you are heading in a different direction from the airport, you must visit the city at least once.

So, they happened to be working overseas at the time and targeted Ayane under the orders of the Hayabusa Guild.

It was common for mercenaries to take on overseas assignments, so it was not surprising that she came to Germany.

I waited for that moment, and when I found Ayane again in the city, she was clearly alone.

He had no company at all, and even when he intentionally exposed himself with the intention of testing it out, he was busy running away alone.

Even when she got close to the hotel, she was completely alone.

however.

‘F*ck, but what’s that guy?’

A tricky assassin suddenly appeared, enough to make the wizard curse.

Just like a prince on a white horse. That piece of shit was so disgusting, I couldn’t stand it.
