chapter 12
12 – Hunter trying to kill the hero [EPISODE – 1]
gate crime.
In the modern society we live in, there are CCTVs, SNS, and many eyes watching, so if you commit a crime, it is common to be caught right away.
Inside the gate, the story is different.
Due to the nature of the gate, where there are no CCTVs and cell phones do not work, you can do anything without getting caught.
Even if it’s an act of killing the Hunter and taking advantage of it.
Of course, the government and the Hunter Association say that they will arrest you soon even if they tell you that there is no such crime to reassure the hunters, but that is not true.
As an A-rank hunter and Yoo Eun-ha’s manager, having been on the frontlines for several years, I know that those words are false.
All sorts of bad things are constantly happening inside the gates, always and everywhere, and the way to stop them is too limited.
It’s something only those in the know know, but in the end, even a group that specializes in hunting hunters was created because of that.
Hunters always live facing that reality.
It’s something I’ve come to realize now, but no matter how much I think about it, Hunter seems to be a very dangerous job.
“Whoa.”
I took a breath and analyzed the situation.
Kim Jong-pal and the party members, there were a total of 8 enemies.
It was a party with 3 CC holders, 1 healer, 2 tanks, and 2 dealers.
It was a party with 5 C-class and 3 B-class.
‘Nice balance…’
The emotion I felt after seeing the combination of the party was one.
I had a feeling it would be quite annoying.
synergy.
Even among hunters of the same rank, the efficiency that can be achieved depending on the party combination is inevitably different.
Hunters have different awakening abilities.
Some people have buff abilities, some people have defensive abilities, and some people have awakening abilities to attack.
If such hunters use their strengths to form a party and achieve synergy, higher efficiency can be achieved.
When considering such a synergistic effect.
Park Jong-pal and the 7 Hunters can be considered to be at the top of the A-rank.
Speaking of the upper class A, it is said that it is just below the S class, but this is a fairly powerful group.
But here’s the problem.
It’s that I don’t have the power of the top class A right now.
It’s only been 3 days since I got the [Hero] skill, and I’ve been training in the meantime, but I still have the power of a B-class rank at best.
There was no limit to growth, and even if the growth ability increased by about 3 times, it could not become so rapidly.
But, if you ask me if that doesn’t mean I can’t win against them…
I can say for sure
i win
“Kill.”
Kim Jong-pal’s order fell.
Two tanks rushed towards me.
It was meant to draw attention to me.
I looked behind me and the dealer was aiming an attack at me.
It was intended to destroy me.
It was a very systematic move.
As if the jjambab that was rolled in the raid wasn’t going anywhere, the breathing was right.
However.
visor!
“no…?”
I pushed back the tanker’s shield.
And, ignoring them, he sprinted straight ahead.
The place I sprinted to was in front of Healer.
“Cheuk…”
I immediately cut the healer.
“This chewy.”
As I slashed the healer, once again two tanks tried to surround me.
However, once again I ignored it and sprinted. And he cut down a dealer.
“Ugh…”
One more dealer was also killed.
I have already killed 2 out of 8 people.
Now there were only 6 left.
“Everyone stay calm. Don’t move hastily.”
The enemies panic for a while in this situation, but regain their composure with the order of Kim Jong-pal who grasped the situation.
Kim Jong-pal seems to have noticed why this situation happened.
“We’re not dealing with raid bosses right now. We’re dealing with humans who can think.”
Kim Jong-pal’s words were correct.
For me, the beginning of the battle was so good.
If I were the raid boss, my eyes would have been focused on the tanks in front of me.
Most stupid raid bosses will only care about the tank in front of them.
In the meantime, healers and dealers are safe.
However, I am not such a stupid raid boss.
a person who can think
And another good news is that they didn’t consider me an adversary.
I would have thought that it was just an existence that roughly hunted and killed.
I quickly poked that loophole.
“That young man seems to be doing quite a bit. I’ll do it properly from now on. Guys, put a CC flag on to stop him from moving.”
Kim Jong-pal said to the rest of the party.
With that order, the hunters who put 3 CCs tried to bind me.
“Kwaaak.”
But it couldn’t stop my movement.
I quickly killed one of them.
There are now 5 people left.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you on CC?”
“I… walked. I definitely walked.”
“But why are you moving so well?”
“I don’t know either. I don’t know why, but the CC doesn’t work.”
“No, does that make sense? What the hell is that guy?”
Kim Jong-pal and the party members panic once again.
It didn’t take the CC that it should have taken.
I noticed that something unbelievable had happened.
Certainly, being immune to CC isn’t anything out of the ordinary.
Ordinary hunters cannot be free from CC unless they are S-class.
However, I am very free about it because of my warrior skill.
“Cheuk…”
I killed another person in a panic.
Now there are 4 left.
“Guys. Gather right now. Let’s move calmly even now.”
Sensing that the situation was going strangely, Kim Jong-pal built a defensive formation.
And I have sharpened my boundaries.
Kim Jong-pal’s judgment was very standard and ideal.
If it had been like that from the beginning, I would have probably lost.
The situation would have been very different if the tanks had been determined and kept by the dealers instead of pulling my aggro.
But it was too late.
Now that you come here, nothing will change.
From the moment I killed the healer, there was no way for Kim Jong-pal’s party to defeat me.
“It’s dark…”
“Ah…”
“Ouch…”
I also cut down the other 3 party members.
Now, only Kim Jong-pal was left.
“You are this baby. Now I know who I am asking and moving? Now right now !!!!”
After losing all the party members, Kim Jong-pal gave me a final scream.
He glared at me with frightened eyes and tried to threaten me.
squeak.
I cut off such Kim Jong-pal.
“Huh… it’s over.”
I was finally able to catch my breath.
“The feeling of cutting people isn’t that good after all…”
I am a body that has been rolling in the hunter industry for several years since my past A-class hunter days.
Of course, I have seen people die many times, and I have experienced killing people.
This isn’t the first time. But still, I’m not used to it.
“Haa. Anyway, where did Jinsu go?
Anyway, the situation was sorted out, so I had to find Park Jin-soo.
I let out a slight sigh as I looked inside the endlessly large gate.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
deep inside the gate.
There, Park Jin-soo was squatting.
“Uhhhh”
Park Jin-soo had no choice but to shed tears in this situation.
“Mom…”
Twenty hours had passed since Park Jin-soo had already run away.
Park Jin-soo’s body was cold and hungry, and his wounds were painful.
Park Jin-soo wondered if he would die trapped in the gate like this.
How did this happen?
Park Jin-soo was so sad at his powerlessness.
I was so embarrassed that this happened to me.
“Please… save me.”
Park Jin-soo prayed.
Now, at this moment, is there no one who comes to save him?
I wished someone could save me in this desperate situation.
“Huh…”
Park Jin-soo momentarily remembered Lee Si-woo’s face, but shook his head.
It was absolutely impossible for Lee Si-woo to defeat them, and even if he did, he would not be able to come up to save himself.
If it were him, he wouldn’t save Park Jin-soo, who had run away like this.
Why did he spend 20 hours looking for Park Jin-soo?
It was ridiculous.
There is no such loyalty between himself and Lee Si-woo.
“Huh… Am I going to die now?”
Tears flowed from Park Jin-soo’s eyes.
The gate closes 24 hours after defeating the boss.
Even if you are lucky enough to escape now, it is a fate that you have no choice but to die after 4 hours.
I really wanted to live, but there was no way to live.
That’s how Park Jin-su tried to give up everything.
However.
“have.”
A voice of hope was heard.
“Jinsu. Are you okay?”
The owner of the voice was Siwoo Lee.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
After 20 hours of wandering through this large gate, I finally found Park Jin-soo.
“Are you okay, Jinsu?”
I waved my hand at Park Jin-soo, and I could see Park Jin-soo raising his head.
“Here, have a drink of water.”
I handed Park Jin-soo some water.
And Park Jin-soo took the water and gulped it down.
“Huh… Siwoo… I missed you.”
And after drinking all the water, Park Jin-soo looked at my face and wet it with tears and runny nose.
“Yes. It’s fine.”
I comforted Park Jin-soo.
“Siwoo, how did you find me in this wide place?”
“Umm… I was looking for it and I found it.”
“Have you been looking for me for 20 hours non-stop?”
“Yes. It is.”
Park Jin-soo stopped crying and asked me a question.
I answered honestly.
“Are you not tired at all?”
“Yes. I’m not tired.”
I have the [Hero] skill.
As long as I have this hero skill, I can be free from fatigue.
So whether it was 10 hours or 20 hours, I was able to find Park Jin-soo without getting tired.
“Uh… why did you save me? You worked so hard…”
Park Jin-soo once again cried and asked me a question.
“Ummm…”
I was a little hesitant about how to answer that question.
In the first place, I am not happy that Park Jin-soo dies.
It could be tied up with a group of robbers for no reason, and he will prove his innocence anyway, but it will take a long time.
Besides, if Park Jin-soo dies shortly after I joined the company, strange rumors may circulate about me.
That’s why I came to save Park Jin-soo.
Another minor reason…
“We decided to have a drink together after we finished.”
It’s just a trivial regret of losing a drinking friend.
“Huh… Siwoo. No, Siwoo hyung-nim.”
Park Jin-soo hears that and hugs me tightly.
Tears and runny nose flowed like a waterfall from Jinsu Park’s face.
“Jin-su, let’s start by going through the gate.”
I removed that kind of Park Jin-su as much as possible.
I know it’s touching, but honestly, I just hate it when a man hugs me like this.
I led the way to the exit.
Park Jin-soo followed me.
