chapter 133

Hm? What was going on?

Chan-hyeong hurriedly got in front of me and opened his mouth.

“It, it’s not like that. Team leader. This person is…….”

“Chan-hyeong you stay out of this. We almost got annihilated because of this guy.”

“Because of me? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Hey you bastard! Because of you running away the ones that were holding the line also ran away! It was fine because we somehow held up but if the defense line broke down then it would have been an annihilation!”

“It’s not like that I said! This person didn’t run away but…….”

Chan-hyeong hit his chest as if suffocating.

I brushed past him and went forward.

“Please stay aside.”

“But…….”

“I will take care of this myself.”

“…… I understand.”

Chan-hyeong got back as if it couldn’t be helped.

I inspected the hunter in front of me with the manual.

Name : Kim Jin-woo

Equipment : Extermination Sword (5) , Black Iron Armor (5) , Pendant of Stamina (4)

Skill : Indestructable Diamond Body (5)

This guy seemed to be the leader of this bunch. I didn’t think his mood with be good since it wasn’t like there weren’t any casualties but I didn’t think that he would come attacking like this right away.

Listening to the situation it’s not like I can’t understand but it was a depressing thing for me.

They would have died if it wasn’t for me.

I started talking to him.

“So, what do you want me to do?”

“Kneel down.”

Kim Jin-woo said so while spitting.

I got rather comfortable because he showed his ill will so blatantly.

Smirk.

“This bastard laughs?”

He swung his fist.

I pondered for a moment if I should get hit by this or not. It was a bit annoying but it became easier for me to beat him up if I got hit once.

Yeah. Let’s close my eyes and get hit just once.

I felt the blunt sense of my face being hit. To be honest, it didn’t hurt at all.

With my normal defense at 400% and having 60% more added thanks to the leather armor’s option it was like getting hit with a styrofoam bat.

I was going to take a hit but this just doesn’t hurt a little too much.

“Don’t pat me and hit.”

“This bastard!”

This time at least had enough power to make my head turn a bit. There was still no damage though.

As I stayed standing straight Kim Jin-woo spit on the ground and wildly swung his fist. The trajectory was pretty sharp.

It seems he has some experience in martial arts.

The problem was that it didn’t hurt at all.

I let out a sigh and opened my mouth.

“Hey.”

“What? You bastard. Hah. Hah.”

Already tired?

“I will hit you, just once.”

“What bullshit…….”

Kim Jin-woo’s body backflipped once.

This. Did I hit too hard?

His body collapsed on the ground and made a dull sound.

He fell head first so if the ground was concrete instead of dirt then he might have died.

It seems he’s still fine though thankfully since the reward points didn’t appear.

“Te, team leader Kim!”

His colleagues hurriedly helped him up but he had already lost consciousness.

“This bastard!”

“Kill him!”

“You bastard, you’re a spy aren’t you?”

Kim Jin-woo’s subordinates suddenly took out weapons.

I hit him just once after getting beaten up a lot so wasn’t this too much?

Of course, that one hit was strong but still.

***

“What? What is going on?”

“It’s a spy?”

“Is it the Chungho Group?”

“Everyone gather!”

People suddenly started gathering around me and Kim Jin-woo’s group.

The flow of events seemed to go in a weird direction but now it seems to have become big enough that it was uncontrollable.

At this point, I wasn’t sure if it was my personality that was messed up or theirs.

It was probably both.

I had cussed that hunters had weird personalities but I got the feeling that I had been dyed in that as well.

If it was in the past then I would have explained appropriately and get over it nicely you see. If I did so then there wouldn’t have been such problems.

So do I regret this?

No way.

I worked my ass off because I didn’t want to live like that and became a hunter.

I now had a level 10 skill and there was a great amount of items in my manual right now that totaled 1t.

I didn’t have to be falsely accused at this point right.

Was this that big of a wish and greed?

I think that it’s okay for me to be more confident. If there was a problem that rose that wasn’t my fault then I will not say that it’s my fault.

I don’t think that it’s an intelligent thing to apologize and kiss someone’s ass because I didn’t want to start a fight.

Because I grew to the point where I didn’t have to go against my will to ‘survive’.

“I will explain…….”

As Park Chan-hyeong tried to come forward I held him back.

I could see him being flustered. He was probably thinking that something big would happen if it went on like this.

Let him be so then.

Small conflicts could appear due to a misunderstanding. However, the reason a large conflict happens is not due to a misunderstanding.

Just because. They just wanted to.

Kim Jin-woo and his group wanted to relieve their stress after battle on someone and I had just gotten caught as their target.

That’s why, I was planning on making them pay the price for treating me that way.

I stretched my hands into the air.

What got held in that hand was a level 1 longsword.

“What’s that? Is he showing magic?”

“Isn’t that a longsword? It looks like a level 1.”

“I thought it was a level 10 since he was hella posing.”

“Hey. Is level 10 some kid’s name? To appear in a place like this?”

Sarcastic remarks and ridicule came out from here and there.

However, I had conviction.

There was no one in this place that could properly block this sword.

Looking at me who wasn’t talking, one of Kim Jin-woo’s subordinates opened his mouth.

“It seems you’re starting to get scared now?”

Name : Kim Jong-oh

Equipment : Silver Sword (3) , Silver Knight Armor (3)

Skill : Judgement (3)

He was a typical knight type hunter.

People usually looked at it like that if one had armor or a skill powerful against undead regardless of religion.

Guys that didn’t have confidence in their ability had a tendency of focusing on one area like this.

You could choose the dungeon to go to after all.

It was possible to do more than the ability you possess if you go to a dungeon were many undeads come out you see.

“Hey, what can you do on your own? You saw the team leader getting beaten right.”

“He just let his guard down. I can take care of that kind of guy on my own. Hah!”

As expected.

A sloppy sword strike came towards me. The trajectory was weird and it was an attack at the level where it would just bounce off the armor even if I stood still. A I took one step back the sword cut the air in vain.

“You moron. Can you not even hit a thing standing still?”

“Shut up! It’s because it’s been a while since I fought a human! I got the feel now!”

The end of my mouth rose as I opened my mouth.

“If this was a real battle then there wouldn’t have been a second chance.”

“Don’t talk crap and stay still. I’ll kill you.”

He swung his sword with a red face. I could feel his will to kill me.

However, if it was possible to win on will alone then there would be no losers in the world.

His sword cut the atmosphere in vain.

“This! This! Get hit already!”

As he swung his sword as if having a seizure he tripped on his own legs and fell over.

“What are you doing?”

“Are you struggling against a noob like that?

“Shut up! It was really close!”

Kim Jong-oh got up while shouting.

Did he not grasp the situation yet?

Certainly, if they were guys that could look at it so calmly then this wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

I started talking to Kim Jong-oh.

“Are you running your mouth with that amount of skill?”

“Fuck. Even though you’re just running around like a mouse…….”

“I was getting pretty bored.”

I dashed towards him as soon as I said so.

“Urg?”

He reacted late but the sword that was in his hand was flying in the sky. It was at the level where he barely got away without losing his hand thanks to his level 3 armor.

He got flustered as he stretched his two arms forward.

“T, time!”

Time he says.

My sword stabbed into his side.

“Kuk?”

It was difficult to penetrate a level 3 armor with a level 1 longsword but it wasn’t like it completely blocked the damage.

It was perfect for giving pain and not killing.

“Urg…….”

He was crunched up on the ground unable to get up. Well, Did he think that I wouldn’t attack if he was like that?

I took a step forward and struck down with the sword.

The armor started getting caved in here and there. Kim Jong-oh struggled to avoid somehow he had lost his balance and fallen over and didn’t even have a weapon so it was meaningless movement.

The only thing he could do was crouch down and scream.

The laughter stopped at some point.

The sarcasm and ridicule were gone too.

Instead, sharp ill will and anger ridden eyes were directed at me.

“This bastard!”

A spear shot out with a sharp sound. It was the second guy.

Name : Park Sang-young

Equipment : Heart Piercing Spear (4) , Hundred Times Tanned Leather Armor (4)

Skill : Continuous Thrusting (3)

An attack aiming at the gap in the armor. If it hit properly it wouldn’t end with a light injury.

Was this guy planning on killing me?

I fell back to avoid with no choice left.

“Urg…….”

Kim Jong-oh staggered as he got up.

Unlike the pain, it seems there weren’t any broken parts thanks to the armor.

Did I hold back too much. Park Sang-young opened his mouth.

“Pay attention. That guy’s not an easy opponent.”

“Damn it. This is disgrace…… Kuk!”

A sword’s end hit his solar plexus.

His body flew back a few meters and rolled on the ground just like that. Seeing how he wasn’t getting up it seems he lost consciousness.

“Focus on the enemy in front of you when fighting. If you don’t want to die.”

“This asshole…….”

Park Sang-young extended his spear while enraged.

From his point of view, it was an attack with his full power. I extended my hand towards the incoming spear.

“Huh?”

As I held the spear and twisted it, the guy’s body that was holding it spun around once and rolled on the ground.

The guy that was holding the spear with two hands couldn’t endure the strength of me swinging with one of my hands.

“It’s probably better to let go of the spear you know?”

“Fuck off. You bastard.”
