“… … .”

“Did you miss the food in the camp? You’re really crazy. You came in here on your own two feet because you wanted to die.”

Kang-hoo smiled and responded to Jo Hwan-seong’s reaction.

“I came here to hang your balls in the middle of the camp. Is that enough of a reason to come here?”

“You may have escaped our camp in the past because you were talented, but not now.”

“Well, considering that he entered the director’s office without being noticed by anyone, I don’t think that’s a particularly trustworthy statement.”

“We’ve been so arrogant about giving him a death warrant in Eclipse. That’s why I’ve repeatedly told you that this guy is a death warrant and that you should quietly track him down and kill him.”

“who?”

“Who is it? He is the captain whom I respect so much.”

“As the saying goes, ‘the food goes with the vegetables.’ I understand why people respect him.”

Phrase. Phrase.

Meanwhile, the clones and illusions disappeared after their time of survival had run out.

“Look at this. There is a limit to the tricks you can use as an assassin. Shin Kang-hoo. If you step down now, I will guarantee your life. So get out. Don’t get in trouble.”

Kang-hoo shook his head in response to Jo Hwan-seong’s rather long speech. The structure of the content was almost the same.

“Look at this. There is a limit to the amount of nonsense you can say with your mouth. Jo Hwan-seong. If you step back now, I will guarantee your life. So get out. Don’t get in trouble.”

“… … This kid!”

Jo Hwan-seong, who was very angry at Kang-hu’s answer, started to rush at him.

Although the office was quite spacious, it wasn’t a large enough space for two men to fight while mixing blood and sweat.

If the situation went from bad to worse, Kang-hoo planned to use his teleportation ability to escape the scene.

Since I had insurance that I could get out of it in some form, my mind was also relieved.

【Fire attribute】

Granted the dagger the power of an attribute.

Physical waves like Jo Hwan-seong are good at using fire attributes.

When it comes to strengthening or recovering the body, the fire attribute plays a role in suppressing it for a longer period of time than other attributes.

at that time.

“Put the pressure down!”

Jo Hwan-seong threw the double-edged axe he was holding with a shout at Kang-hu.

Throwing at close range.

Since it was unexpected for Kang-hoo to throw the axe instead of swinging it as his main weapon, he responded immediately.

【Self-defense – Step 3】

【Passive skill. When activated, it takes 1 hour to reactivate.】

【You can activate self-defense to neutralize all attacks from outside for 0.5 seconds.】

【You can re-activate Stage 2 by using 33% of your mana.】

Depending on the situation, step 2 was spared.

If the distance from compatibility was far, it would have been difficult to calculate the time of 0.5 seconds, so it would have been necessary to use up to step 2.

Rather, paradoxically, the close proximity to it made timing prediction easier.

Kyaang!

“Huh, crazy?”

Jo Hwan-seong was shocked to see the double-edged axe he had ambitiously thrown fall down in front of Kang-hu.

He has thrown his axe on countless battlefields so far, and many enemies have lost their lives to it.

Some dodged the axe, and even if they did block it, there was a clear recoil, such as being pushed backwards.

Jo Hwan-seong had a lot of fun in battle by using this to forcefully push back the enemy.

But Kang-hoo blocked the axe in place. He was neither pushed back nor hurt.

【Soul Imprint】

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo retrieved the daggers that had fallen on the floor using soul imprints.

【hallucination】

【Lightning ratio】

He used his hallucination skill on the flustered Jo Hwan-seong and continued throwing daggers at him with his lightning sword.

This time, I didn’t see the results of the illusion skill, and immediately threw the dagger after casting the illusion.

‘Predicted shot.’

This type of attack is usually referred to as a predicted shot.

It is based on the premise that the opponent will be hallucinated, and then the next skill is immediately followed.

This way, if the illusion is successful, it can have a greater effect than just throwing the dagger after seeing the results.

Linking after seeing the results gives you time to react, but otherwise there is no room for that.

‘Physical Hunters usually don’t have any anti-demon abilities. I don’t know about the matt house, but I’ve never seen anyone raise an anti-demon.’

Kang-hoo’s prediction was right.

“Huh?”

The hallucinatory patient momentarily lost his sense of direction and his ability to perceive his surroundings.

Phew!

“Cough!”

As a result, the dagger that missed its path ended up stuck in his left shoulder.

Perhaps because the dagger struck him without giving him time to react, the body of the giant Jo Hwan-seong twisted to the side.

【Brain shock】

While he was at it, Kang-hoo also laid a thunderbolt.

If a lightning strike were to occur indoors, there was a risk of fire breaking out as electricity would surge in all directions.

I thought it didn’t matter anyway.

Rather, I thought it would be better if fire was placed in the background. The more variables there are, the more advantageous it is for the assassin.

Don’t fall off!

“Whoaaaa!”

Jo Hwan-seong rolled his eyes and trembled at the feast of electricity flowing in through the wound on his left shoulder.

Jo Hwan-seong’s mind was already becoming confused by the crazy skill combination.

It’s confusing whether you’re dealing with an assassin or an electric wizard.

However, the limit of pain that the body can withstand is quite high, so Jo Hwan-seong could think about counterattacking.

Gooooo.

Jo Hwan-seong, who had strengthened his legs, gained momentum in an instant and rushed towards Kang-hu.

I thought about rushing in and hitting Kang-hoo, but I also had the calculations to retrieve the axe I had thrown earlier.

I’ve always recovered my thrown axes in this manner, and it’s been a pretty effective repertoire of attacks and retrievals.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo thought carefully while watching Jo Hwan-seong rushing towards him.

At first, the bridge had glowed, but now the head had glowed.

Judging from the fact that he had bent his upper body forward, it seemed like he was planning to properly headbutt him.

‘I’ve also raised my stamina considerably, so this time I’ll try to counter it with skills instead of avoiding it.’

The skill that Kang-hoo uses to confront without avoiding after making his own judgment.

【petrification】

It was a skill that made the entire front of one’s body into the shape of a solid stone.

In the past, when the level of the matt was low, it was a skill that was not easy to use because its durability was questionable.

But at this point, when I reached level 1000, it was a skill that had become incomparably stronger than before.

within.

Kwaang!

A head-on collision occurred.

The sound of stones hitting each other was clearly audible.

Kwajik!

“Ugh.”

The stone shattered and Kang-hoo’s body was pushed backwards. Two or three steps were not enough, and he ended up hitting the wall.

But Jo Hwan-seong experienced a much greater shock than Kang-hu.

He looked like he was flailing his arms in the air, his eyes going out of focus randomly.

“Fuck, what kind of rock is this… … .”

Even in the midst of all that, I managed to retrieve the axe, and somehow managed to hold onto it and find my balance.

Jo Hwan-seong bit his lip hard in the pain he experienced for the first time since he was born.

There has never been a time when I couldn’t knock someone down by hitting them with my hardened head.

Especially if the target is a so-called ‘water body’ class like an assassin, it was obvious that he would win every battle.

But I was hit hard by a skill that I never thought an assassin would implement: turning me into stone.

This was a picture that I had never thought of, even beyond prediction or imagination.

What Hunter in the world would ever think that an Assassin would use a defensive skill that turns his own body to stone?

It’s like expecting a physical hunter like yourself to be hiding and assassinating with your nimble body.

In a word, it is nonsense. But Kang-hoo was full of nonsense.

【acceleration】

【jump】

Even though Kang-hoo’s whole body was screaming from the collision just now, he attached himself with all his might, linking acceleration and jumping.

Since the axe has already been retrieved, it is bound to be difficult to counterattack again.

Because now is the perfect time to take advantage of the gap in compatibility.

Jo Hwan-seong, who had just returned to his original position and was aware of Kang-hoo’s approach, picked up an axe.

The calculation was to somehow push forward and block Kang-hoo’s approach.

But Kang-hoo’s movements were faster.

Kang-hoo jumps up while using the axe that Jo-hwan lifts as a stepping stone.

【Non-heavenly】

Without any hesitation, he immediately launched a flying strike. It was a strike that instantly dyed his right leg purple.

and.

Paaaaak… … !

“Ugh… … .”

Jo Hwan-seong could hear sounds he thought he would never hear from under his own chin.

It was the sound of a jawbone being completely shattered.

* * *

Same time.

Jeon Se-hyeok and Ban Se-young were checking the weather, which was just beginning to change.

The rain was coming earlier than previously forecast. This was good news for those who had been waiting for rain.

Ban Se-young said, looking in the direction of the Cheongmyeong concentration camp with an anxious expression.

“Would it be better to move early?”

“why?”

“It’s true that Kang-hoo oppa is capable, but I don’t think he’d be able to kill the camp commander alone.”

“You won’t be a match for me?”

“No, fighting isn’t the problem. Infiltrating the camp doesn’t make sense.”

“hmm…….”

“Honestly, don’t you think so too, oppa? The camp isn’t just a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall store, and it’s well-equipped with security facilities, so you already know that from insider information, right?”

“That’s true.”

“That’s why the plan was twisted because this attack could have met with strong resistance from the beginning if there was no cooperation from insiders.”

“But somehow I feel like I can do it.”

“If it was that easy, it would have happened a long time ago. It’s not that I don’t trust Kang-hoo oppa, it’s just that the situation is too difficult.”

Ban Se-young was skeptical about the results.

It is a fairly large-scale concentration camp, and there are many areas that are difficult to infiltrate alone.

Of course, I didn’t think it was important whether Kang-hoo’s assassination failed or not.

This is because Jeon Se-hyeok and his colleagues, as well as the forces of the Cheong-an Mercenaries and the Black Lion, are already on standby.

According to the information confirmed just now, Kang Dong-hyun and Eclipse’s main force was still in the Cheongju Liberation District.

That is, even if they were aware of the situation at the Qingming camp, it would take a long time for them to come to help.

Unless there’s some sort of teleportation magic circle, the situation will be over by the time you arrive at the scene.

“No, they’ll contact you.”

Jeon Se-hyeok smiled and looked down at his smartphone again. If Kang-hoo contacts him, it will be displayed here.

He continued,

“When I just look at Mr. Shin Kang-hoo, I feel like I’m looking at a main character in a novel. It feels like he can do anything and that nothing is impossible.”

“It’s true that I have those expectations too… … but I still have to be realistic in my thinking.”

“Yes. Maybe I made Mr. Shin Kang-hoo carry too much of a burden.”

Jeon Se-hyeok nodded, having been persuaded by Ban Se-young. It is true that it is a picture that makes no sense.

It’s not a concentration camp that can be breached by one person. If it were to be breached, it would be something truly novel.

But right then.

A video call came to Jeon Se-hyeok through Hunter Gram. The caller was Kang-hoo.

You’re in the middle of a battle or an infiltration and suddenly you’re on a video call?

No, I don’t think so. I guess I’ll just give up and come out and contact you.

After Jeon Se-hyeok reached that conclusion, he received a video call from Kang-hu. He had no expectations.

However, the first thing that decorated the screen was none other than Jo Hwan-seong lying down in a pool of blood.

And the next words made Jeon Se-hyeok and Ban Se-young feel shivers all over their bodies.

– Killed.

It didn’t require much explanation.
