Chapter 21 – What Makes Me Angry
“Don’t touch me.”
I blocked Choi Dae-chil in front of Lee Yu-na and pulled her back.
When that guy finally started to touch Lee Yu-na, anger welled up.
“Did you just tell me?”
Choi Dae-chil looked at me with slightly surprised eyes.
I was surprised when I, who had not been able to talk back with my eyes closed earlier, suddenly came forward.
“Just go there. You put up with it a lot.”
My impression was of course harsh.
The status window kept popping up messages about increasing stats, adding to my anger.
I didn’t know if [Hate Non-milk target] Was triggered because I was angry, or if I was angry because of [Hate non-milk target].
It was probably both.
From the moment I got angry, the [Hatred of non-milking subjects] Began,
From the time he recognized his opponent as an enemy, his traits were fueling his anger even more.
“What? Be patient? Cub, are you short on words?”
Choi Dae-chil gritted his teeth as if he was laughing.
Dare to stand up to him, he blinks his eyes.
“Hey, hey. Heavenly luck. What are you doing. The opponent is maximum seven, maximum seven. Calm down.”
Feeling that the atmosphere was getting serious, Park Joong-hyun came out and tried to stop me.
I pushed Park Joong-hyun.
Park Joong-hyun stumbled sideways and flew away at the strength of my ability level.
Surprised expression.
I wouldn’t have known that my strength would be this much.
“What?”
Seeing that energy, Choi Dae-chil clicked his tongue.
“Young. I didn’t like something from the first time I saw you. I wanted to beat him until he came to his senses by looking at him with his eyes open, but this went well. You caught me today.”
Choi Dae-chil clenched his fists.
The tattoos wriggled even more hideously as the tight muscles in his forearms tightened.
“Fighting between hunters in the rift is prohibited. You know what?”
I asked in advance to confirm before the fight.
Many people were watching.
If there was a simple punch in a place like this, then both would be punished outside the crack, no matter whose fault it was.
“You want a duel, then?”
Choi Choi, who understood my meaning, asked.
Duel.
It’s different from normal battles between hunters.
No matter how public institutions prevent battles between hunters and the hunter associations create all sorts of norms to prevent conflict, hunters are basically fighters.
So, when Hunters battled each other, they used the noble name of duel.
An ancient men’s tradition that has been passed down since ancient times.
Duel.
Fighting over each other’s pride, showing respect on the outside and pretending to respect the other person, but inside it’s no different from an ordinary fight.
This duel, fighting for each other’s honor, officially made the fight between hunters possible.
As long as you follow a few rules.
※
First. It is 1:1.
Second. You mustn’t kill your opponent.
Third. Be polite to your opponent at the beginning and end of a duel.
※
I suggested this method to Chil Choi.
“You will duel with me. The losing side apologizes to the winning side. How is it?”
“Ha ha, cheeky bastard.”
The reward of the duel was simple.
The loser was apologizing.
I wanted to beat him right now.
In fact, it didn’t matter what the reward was.
“Okay, let’s duel. Bastard, you’re behind.”
Choi Dae-chil agreed immediately without thinking for a moment.
To him, who had been a C-class hunter for a long time, a new D-class hunter like me must have looked absurdly weak.
Choi Dae-chil and I retreated farther away, and everyone next to us moved further away.
As if a small arena had been formed inside the dungeon, a perfect 1:1 environment was created.
“Is that guy okay?”
Park Joong-hyun muttered.
Watching from a wide distance with my fellow hunters, I worry that I might be pampering myself.
In contrast, Lee Yu-na had a serious expression and basically believed in me.
Her lips were pursed and she was watching this duel as if she would not miss a single one.
“Are you sick? I don’t even know who Choi Choi is.”
“Another young Hunter will die. Let’s see how much it will hit.”
Choi Dae-chil’s subordinates giggled.
In the southern Gyeonggi Special District, there were few hunters stronger than Max Chill, and even less did anyone think I was included among them.
I was looking at the outcome as if the fight had been fought, expecting how ugly I would fall.
“C-class Hunter Choi Dae-chil, if I lose this fight, I promise to admit my mistakes and apologize to you.”
“D-class Hunter Cheonun. If I lose this fight, I promise to admit my fault and apologize to you.”
We have basic formal etiquette.
He straightened his back and bowed his head.
A greeting before a duel.
After this greeting, the fight begins.
“Asshole, you followed…”
And as soon as I look up,
I ran up to Max Chill and punched him.
Fuck!
The sound of flesh colliding echoed lightly.
I put my fist into Choi Dae-chil’s stomach,
He collapsed with a desperate scream.
*
“Aaaaagh!”
Max Chill let out his mouth-watering roar.
He wrapped himself around the stomach hit by me and rolled over on the floor.
Repeatedly lying face down in unbearable pain, the scene was ridiculous like a slapstick comedy.
The duel is over.
It was my victory.
Did you aim for a surprise attack?
It wasn’t.
Was that guy taking a break from his carelessness?
It wasn’t.
Was I in danger if it wasn’t for this one shot?
Neither was it.
In the first place, there was a level difference between that guy and me.
I beat the C-rank Arachne Queen in the D-rank Arachne Forest the other day.
Arachne Forest is Arachne’s home ground.
Because it was their habitat, Arachne was stronger here.
Besides, Queen Arachne is a boss monster.
It was stronger than normal C-class monsters.
At least C+ level.
Captured Queen Arachne as Solf without anyone’s help.
Even while dealing with his subordinates at the same time.
There was no way I would ever lose to Choi Dae-chil, an ordinary C-class hunter.
Then why did you use your fist? I use swordsmanship.
It was simply not to kill.
The second principle of dueling is that you must not kill your opponent.
It seemed that if I made a mistake with my sword, I would kill him.
So I used my fist.
[One-point crushing]
This skill, which uses mana to target the opponent’s vital points, could also be activated with a fist.
I wanted to hit the maximum seven that I wanted to kill right away, so I used the fastest charge skill.
There was no tension or sense of accomplishment.
I knew this result from the beginning.
I just stood still and waited to see if Choi Dae-chil, who was tumbling around on the floor, would wake up and apologize to me.
“Aaaaa!”
Choi Dae-chil screamed as if he would run out of breath at any moment.
Since it was an attack that contained mana, the current internal circumstances must have been meaningless.
“Medical medicine, medical medicine! Prepare the potion quickly!”
Choi Dae-chil’s subordinates hurriedly ran.
I took out the medical box and fed Choi Dae-chil an expensive potion.
Honey, honey, honey.
Choi Dae-chil, who was coughing up blood from his mouth, barely breathed while drinking the potion.
He gasped for breath and shook his body.
Just not fainting is enough.
Because I hit my stomach until it hurt as much as possible.
“Huh! Huh!”
Unlike the other side where there was an uproar, the people on this side approached slowly.
“What? Are you done? What the hell have you done?”
Park Joong-Hyun couldn’t keep his mouth shut in surprise.
Looking at Choi Dae-chil and his colleagues panting, he asked with a puzzled face.
“That was my ‘one-point crushing’ right?”
Lee Yoo-na immediately recognized what skill I was using.
She was smiling as if she was happy to use a technique she had taught herself.
“Yeah, it’s one-point crushing. I couldn’t kill him, so I used my fist instead of a sword.”
“One point crushing? Is that Yuina-san’s skill?”
I replied to Lee Yoo-na, but Park Joong-hyun, who was surprised, interrupted.
“How did you use that skill?”
“That’s… Qigong. I learned the magic of one-point crushing with qigong and followed it similarly.”
I made an excuse similar to the one I had already explained to Yu-na.
Park Joong-hyeon and his friends are shocked when the story of qigong comes up again.
“Hmmmm.”
Embarrassed, I cleared my throat and waited for the collapsed Choi Dae-chil to wake up.
You should apologize
*
“My maximum number is, Keuuk, ugh. I admit my fault to Chun-Woon, and I apologize.”
Choi Dae-chil barely finished apologizing to me while coughing as if he was still struggling to breathe.
With him on his knees, he didn’t even have time to raise his head.
After eating the potion, the inside is barely recovering.
You don’t have the strength to dare to stand against me.
“Yes. I just need to know. From now on, don’t attack me, and don’t get caught in my sight. If you ever run into me, avoid it.”
I warned Choi Chil.
If I met him again, I would want to beat him again.
So, I asked him to get out of the way.
“Now, what shall we do?”
After finishing the duel, he looked at the Hunters.
Choi Dae-chil, the leader of the raid, has collapsed.
That too by a D-class Hunter.
The reason Choi Dae-chil became the captain of the raid was because he had the highest Hunter rating here.
If this was the case, the leader of the raiding party had no choice but to change naturally.
As me who defeated a C-class hunter.
“Everyone, since the duel is over, we will start attacking the rift again according to the original purpose.”
I told people
The advance team that came in first, the second team that joined us, and the citizens we rescued were all looking at me.
Who will refuse
The strongest hunter here is talking.
Everyone gathered their luggage and weapons and stood up.
We headed deeper into the dungeon.
Choi Dae-chil and the group of people who were abandoned were left in the place.
“Cuckoo, heck.”
Choi Dae-chil is breathing heavily.
His wounds were almost healed, but his eyes were still wide open as if the shock was still great.
“Hey, are you okay? Brother.”
One of the remaining subordinates asked cautiously.
“Fuck, kuck! Shivaal!”
Choi Dae-chil shouted bitterly.
The pain was so great that even tears welled up in his eyes.
“I do not forgive. That bastard. Kuck. Shit, kuck. I will never let you go.”
He lay down and struggled, he said.
The reason Choi Dae-chil is active as a powerhouse in the southern Gyeonggi special district.
Why is he notorious here?
It was because he never left the Won Su-jin characters alone.
Choi Dae-chil cried out the name of Cheon-woon and swore revenge.
“Me, maximum seven. Ugh I started killing the fucking bastard,,,, I’ll change it. “
He covers his stomach with both hands and lies down and speaks with tears in his eyes.
“Under my legs, ugh, bow down, ahghh, I’ll make you slam your head into the ground. Wow!”
A gruesome word imbued with resentment.
But as he lay there weeping, moaning and talking, there was no dignity or fear in it.
It was the first time the subordinates had seen Choi Dae-chil cry so ugly.
