Chapter 1193 – 1193. Testing
Found the guy
He was sitting on a rock with his cloak pulled over. His black hair, which fell to his shoulders, was curly, and his eyes were sunken. He looked at us and lowered the wooden flute he was holding in his mouth.
“Sung Yu-jin, a B-rank hunter, and Ha Seung-hee of the Sejin Group. Am I right?”
He spoke awkward Korean in a sharp voice. It may be that he is speaking awkwardly on purpose.
“I know you came here, so what are you checking?”
“I once killed an innocent hunter who was not a target. I believed I was a target. But it wasn’t. All Korean faces are similar.”
“I am Sung Eugene. What about that one?”
“I don’t need to know.”
“This bastard!”
He swung a fire lance at the guy. The sword flew through the air. The guy backstepped and lightly dodged the sword.
Seeing his movements, I clicked my tongue. Even if you can’t, it’s a B grade.
“You are quick-tempered.”
“Is that what a killer would say?”
“Calm down for now. I have no intention of killing you.”
“Is that what you mean, fart? This side could have died because of you.”
“So you died? Fognake’s raid is my greeting. As long as you’re a B-class hunter, I knew that hundreds of Fognakes couldn’t do anything about you guys.”
“It was a fucking greeting. What country are you from?”
“…….”
The guy shut his mouth. He seemed intent on hiding information about himself thoroughly.
‘If he really didn’t intend to kill us, he manipulated Fognake to attack us… The purpose must have been to take away some of my strength.’
Of course I don’t believe him. Guard him to the end.
‘… What country are you from? Not Southeast Asia… I think it’s on the Chinese and Japanese side… Maybe Korean. They’re deliberately making my Korean difficult.’
I stopped thinking. Doubt bites the tail of doubt. Continuing to think like this won’t help anything. After all, the answer is right in front of you. It’s time to catch him and interrogate him.
His gaze turned to Ha Seung-hee.
“All I want is one thing. A medicine that grows plants in an instant. If you give me that medicine, I won’t touch you. Like this, we can get out of the dungeon without incident.”
“It’s a bummer that nothing happened.”
The moment he hands over the HB-1 here, Ha Seung-hee’s plans and dreams are shattered. I didn’t want that. Ha Seung-hee made a deal with me by risking his body for his ambition. That was one of the reasons she was attractive. If she gives in to him here, her value and attractiveness will be damaged.
‘In an instant.’
He spurred the ground with all his might and leaped. His eyes follow me one beat later. I couldn’t fully grasp my movements.
He gripped the wooden flute with both hands. Hwaryeonbido’s red blade lands on his right shoulder.
Bang!
A shockwave occurred. My body flies backwards. I spun in the air and landed on the floor.
‘… Wind?’
I saw it right before the shock wave happened. The existence of the wind that surrounds his body. The wind was protecting his body.
He brought the wooden flute to his mouth.
Grip support.
An electric current ran through my body.
Right after that, a bolt of lightning falls from the sky on him. He didn’t even pay attention to the thunderbolt. He doesn’t even dodge. This is because the wind armor that protects his body blocks even lightning strikes.
‘Is it the same wind manipulation ability as Jin Se-yeong?’
He blew a wooden flute.
He wasn’t making any obnoxious noises like he was when he piloted Porgnake. It was a play The wind that passed through the flute became music, and the music penetrated into the head through the ears.
“Aaaaagh!”
Ha Seung-hee screamed and grabbed his ears. Losing her balance and staggering, she sat down on her floor and closed her eyes tightly.
“This bastard! What did you do!”
First, we have to save Ha Seung-hee.
I gathered thunderbolts in my grasp.
Yeongcheon-ryu, Geukgi, and Sanrae.
Sprinkle thunderbolts into the air. The thunderbolt wriggled and spread in all directions. Mana, which fluctuated in space, disappeared as it was driven into the lightning. Ha Seung-hee, who was covering her ears, lowered her hand. Her expression also became more comfortable than before.
“Did you temporarily drive out the mana around here? Great.”
The guy who spoke bluntly played the flute again.
The sound was different from before. The wind that enveloped his body spurted out as if rapidly expanding. The wind was moving in time with the sound of the playing.
I glanced at Ha Seung-hee, who was still stretched out. It was her distant job to keep her from her invisible, free-moving wind, whether in her straight lines or curves.
‘Stormbreaker.’
A giant spear was summoned in front of me. I grabbed the spear with one hand and threw it at Ha Seung-hee. Ha Seung-hee was surprised. She holds her hand out in front of her as if to block her spear. The spear disintegrated into pieces just before it pierced her hand, and it clung to her body and became her armor.
Stormbreaker’s defensive power is acknowledged by me. With this, you can ease your worries about Ha Seung-hee.
“… Senior Eugene. If it was something like this, you should tell me in advance. I thought you were trying to kill me.”
“I didn’t have time for that.”
The wind blows.
The wind cut the skin of the hand holding the knife, and drops of blood spurted out. I hurriedly moved mana to strengthen her body.
“Senior. This armor is surprisingly comfortable to wear. I don’t think it’s armor. Would you like to sell it to me?”
“No. There is only one.”
His playing gets more intense. As if in response, the wind also becomes stronger.
‘Cheonan.’
[I open my eyes.]
I could see the mana mixed with the wind. Cause the wind Wind and mana are spreading according to the sound of the flute.
I raised my knife. Whoops. Hwaryeonbi also trembled. A blue sword lingers on the red blade.
Even formless winds can be cut if they can be seen.
Lowered the knife
The wind in my face disappears. The road is open. Without hesitation, he jumped into the road.
I saw the man’s bewildered face. His quivering eyes focused on me. His fingers hurriedly played the flute.
A wind curtain is created. What needs to be cut off is not the wind, but the flow of mana.
‘It’s here.’
Wield a knife The wind screen easily disappears.
Beep beep!
A sharp sound rang out. The ground beneath my feet rose upward. Thanks to Cheonan, I noticed it in advance. I ran to him, narrowly avoiding the surging ground.
‘In an instant.’
The surroundings slow down.
I checked the starting point of the wind armor covering his body. His wind armor starts from his chest.
‘His ability is not wind, but sound. He controls the wind and the earth, monsters and people with sound. There are probably conditions.’
Realized that the source of the wind armor was the sound of a heartbeat. That steady, subtle sound keeps the wind armor in place.
‘This bastard underestimated me too much. Even though I’m a B-class, my skills aren’t B-class.’
He lowers the knife towards the man’s shoulder.
The wind armor tries to push the blade away. A shock wave occurs. I know, but I couldn’t win. I forced myself to hold on, and the sword pierced the wind armor and cut off his right shoulder blade.
“Keuk….”
He swallowed the scream that was about to escape.
‘… Well?’
I didn’t swallow a scream.
Was gathering screams. His neck twitched several times and his chest swelled. He then opened his mouth wide and let out a scream.
“Quaaaaa!!”
Sound soon became physical force. I flew backwards and rolled on the floor along with the trees around me.
Okay. This is just a slight bruise. Raise your body up.
A vine sprouted from the side of his foot and grabbed my ankle.
“… Monster?”
He raised his foot and tore off the vine.
Kwa Kwa Kakang!
Red buds popped up from the ground. Huge flowers up to 3m bloom. The flower is full of sharp teeth, and under the flower, 20 tendrils like whips sweep all over the place.
Allax.
It is a plant type monster.
It is the boss level monster of this dungeon.
Beep! Beep, beep, beep!
He kept blowing his flute. At the same time, Alax approaches me. Allax was also being controlled by him.
Tsk. Clicked his tongue While Alax was approaching, he was moving away. He intends to run away, leaving me with the Allax.
‘It’s a boss monster, so it’s hard to kill it at once…. But if I lose him, information about HB-1 will become known to the world.’
Which one is more urgent
There is nothing to worry about. I ignored Alax and ran towards him. Allax’s vines aim at my back.
Dismissal.
It was when he was about to burn Alax’s vine with a thunderbolt. Ha Seung-hee appeared behind me and cut off a vine with her invisible claws.
“That man. Catch it I will take care of this monster.”
“It’s a boss monster, is it okay?”
“This armor is really nice. I am full of energy wearing it.”
Stormbreaker’s performance depends on the skill of its owner.
Ha Seung-hee was wearing a Stormbreaker, but the owner was still me. In other words, Stormbreaker is being maintained with my mana, and its performance is slightly lower than when I directly wore it.
And that’s enough to easily deal with Alax.
“Request.”
I left Alarx with her and chased after the one who ran away.
‘Acceleration.’
Even with acceleration, it wasn’t easy to catch him. He was almost blown away by the wind. It is changing the traces of the land to get me out there. He might have been tricked if it wasn’t for Cheonan.
‘Since his arm is cut off, he won’t be able to escape far.’
The distance got shorter and shorter. His back was visible to the naked eye.
Yeongcheon Stream Noislet.
He threw a sword with thunderbolts. His sword energy cut through the branches blocking his way and flew to the back of the guy. The guy coughs up blood and collapses. His wooden flute rolled across the dirt floor.
“Looks like we can have a little conversation now.”
Approached the guy I kicked the side of the prostrate man and laid him face to face.
“Cough, Cough!”
The guy coughed up blood. The man’s face turns black. I distorted my expression. He cut off his right arm and cut his back with a sword, but from Hunter’s point of view, such a wound was not a serious fatal injury. Because he has more skills than a B-class hunter.
“Have you been poisoned?”
“Information is… I cannot give.”
Even with potions, you can’t cure him. Potions cannot remove poison. Antidote? There was no way he would carry a poison that was so easy that a general-purpose antidote would work for self-determination. Besides, this guy’s heart has already been destroyed. He used his powers to destroy his heart. Poison and Heart Break. I thought I would use both. He is also a suspect.
“Why are you even doing that? If you die, you can’t even use the money you saved. Or does he have a reason to go that far?”
“You have no information.”
“I saw your face. Your body will tell you a lot. Isn’t that a DNA test?”
“My information is nowhere. I exist, but I do not exist.”
The guy is dead
