F-Class Destiny Hunter

Chapter 126

'Eyes of Vigilance activated?'

After a moment of panic at the sudden notification, Seo Gangrim glanced at the landscape unfolding before him. Before he knew it, the black and white tiles were stained red in various places.

'Is this the effect of Eyes of Vigilance?'

He glanced briefly at Dokgo Jun sitting next to him, who was staring straight ahead.It seemed that the red markings were not visible to others. Then, someone stepped on a red platform.

-Squirm!

"Ah, what the! Disgusting!"

As the platform opened, countless insects crawled out, clinging to and scratching the horse. While Yoon Bom shot and killed the bugs, Seo Gangrim grabbed Dokgo Jun by the back of his jacket.

Dokgo Jun looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"I'm driving, so move aside."

He roughly pulled Dokgo Jun out and took over the driver's seat.

Although he didn't know exactly what the boundaries were, he could understand the meaning of those markings. Staring at the numerous red markings in front of him, he forcefully stepped on the pedal.

-Booaaaah!

"It's better to break through the trap areas as quickly as possible."

As he pressed the pedal with force, the needle on the instrument panel twisted violently, starting to sway. With the sudden increase in speed, the sharp wind began to howl, making it difficult even to open his eyes. Amidst the difficulty of keeping his eyes open due to the wind, Dokgo Jun shouted with delight.

"What's this? Trying to commit suicide?"

Despite saying that, a smile spread across his lips.

The only one astonished was the announcer.

[Seo Gangrim is changing positions and starting to increase speed! How does he plan to pass through the trap field?]

The numbers on the dashboard began to rise rapidly. As the speed increased, control became even more difficult, but Seo Gangrim skillfully twisted the steering wheel, maneuvering through the red markings.

-Kwaaaah!

[Spectacular drift! Player Seo Gangrim, speeding up!]

[Moreover, he hasn't activated any traps at all! How on earth did he manage that?]

Seeing the markings was a difficult task without the level of 'sense' and 'agility' that someone like Seo Gangrim possessed. As he raced at a breakneck speed, all the tiles lined up in a row were emitting a red glow.

'This must be the section where traps are always triggered.'

-Booaaaah!

However, instead of hitting the brakes, he stepped on the accelerator. There was no time to dodge. The moment the car stepped on the red tiles.

[The summon tile is activated!]

[A demon is summoned!]

In an instant, it seemed like a giant wall had risen in front of him. A massive demon that completely blocked the road. The demon looked like a huge mountain made of twisted flesh.

-Krooooar!

As the demon roared and swung its fist, the walls on either side were destroyed, and rocks came tumbling down.

Dokgo Jun whistled and said, "Seo Gangrim, it looks like we need to stop and fight, doesn't it?"

"I'm breaking through."

"What?"

Seo Gangrim changed gears and increased speed even more. Among the fallen rocks nearby, there was a boulder leaning at an angle. He turned the steering wheel in that direction and began to rush over the top of the rocks.

-Booaaaah!

Like a raging bull charging towards the monster. The announcer, frightened, shouted, [Player Seo Gangrim doesn't stop even though there's a demon ahead! What on earth is he doing...!]

-Kwagwagwak!

The car, riding on the rocks, soared into the air as if flying, and then rushed straight at the demon.

At over 200 kilometres per hour, the car pierced the beast's chest. It was no longer a vehicle but more like a deadly weapon.

-Kwoong!

The horn ornament on the head shone sharper than anything else, piercing through the heart. The monster collapsed with holes in its body.

Dokgo Jun turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, what a sight.”An ordinary vehicle travelling at 200 kilometres per hour would be hardly a weapon.

An ordinary vehicle travelling at 200 kilometres per hour would be hardly a weapon. But what if it wasn't a normal vehicle?

[Item] Red Bull Aldebaran

[Grade] Divine Third-class

[Description] A vehicle boasting divine speed and durability. Made of divine iron, it is not easily destroyed.

Accelerating, Aldebaran was more of a weapon than a vehicle. A massive spear made of divine iron. If struck in a vulnerable spot, even a demon couldn't withstand it.

-Kkiyiik!

The car skidded with long tire marks, turning the corner. No more red markings were visible.

[Player Seo Gangrim is passing through the trap field at an unbelievable speed!]

Aldebaran, which had instantly escaped the trap field, began to rush forward.

Dokgo Jun said with amusement, "Wow, Seo Gangrim is incredible. It's like you know where every trap is. How did you do that?"

Seo Gangrim didn't say a word. He had no intention of answering, and he couldn't explain it perfectly himself.

'The Eyes of Vigilance activated because the aura of death became stronger....'

Perhaps it sensed the killing intent embedded in the trap tiles, and that's why his eyes had activated. The problem was that even after escaping the trap area, the 'Eyes of Vigilance' didn't deactivate.

'Suspicious. Something is still lingering.'

The 'Guide of Fate' activated before entering here, and now the 'Eyes that see boundaries'. There had been a few crises, but he could instinctively tell that something bigger was lurking ahead.

'Just now, I didn't sense a strong death aura from Yoon Bom and Yoon Geoul. They seem relatively safe...'

First and foremost, he needed to find the rest of the team quickly.

Fortunately, the vehicle he was riding was the best means of transportation. As he escaped the trap field and started to accelerate, he quickly caught up with the top contenders.

"What, what is that?"

"Seo Gangrim?! When did he start chasing us?"

Others were also driving vehicles, but they couldn't compare to the rewards that came out as jackpot prizes. Watching Seo Gangrim aggressively charge forward like a bull, the competitors began preparing for attacks one by one.

However, the class of the vehicles they were already riding was lower.

-Kwaaah!

"Aaah, this crazy guy!"

Screams erupted from all directions. Seo Gangrim had rammed all the vehicles ahead of him. It was crude but the most effective method.

While several vehicles overturned and exploded with screams, some people, keeping their distance, prepared for counterattacks. Seo Gangrim glanced at them and said to Dokgo Jun, "Take care of the nuisances, please."

"Alright, but this isn't fun. Let me do something else in the future."

Dokgo Jun said so and, without waiting for a response, rose from his seat. Drawing his sword, he extended it along his forearm. Blood splattered and soaked the ground, and Dokgo Jun, with eyes full of madness, burst into laughter.

"Now, the extras should play their roles too!"

[Ability 'Crawling Hands' is activated!]

Where his blood touched, countless tentacles began to grow, like germinating seeds. The tentacles quickly grabbed the competitors, pulling them along.

All around him, screams and explosions could be heard, but Seo Gangrim didn't stop.

'Shin Sooah, Yu Harang, Jang Taehun, Father Yohan... Where are you all?'

Despite having come a considerable distance, he couldn't see his team members. Then, a familiar voice came from the vehicle ahead.

"Oh, isn't it Gangrim?"

It was Shin Ara. Leaving the driving to someone else, Shin Ara leaned out of the window and approached, smiling as if pleased to see him. However, Shin Ara's smile felt ominous.

"Gangrim, you're still as impressive as ever. I was shocked when I saw you on the monitors. It would be great if you joined our sect."

"What's this? Is Sura Sect targeting Seo Gangrim?" Dokgo Jun, standing nearby, spoke with caution.

Whether Shin Ara heard this or not, she turned to Dokgo Jun. The gazes of the two troublemakers met. Judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like they were about to clash, so Seo Gangrim spoke first.

"Shin Ara-ssi. Right now, I need to find Shin Sooah because she's in danger."

When Shin Ara heard the mention of Shin Sooah being in danger, her expression changed in an instant. Her eyes flashed with vitality.

"What? Sooah? Why?"

"I can't explain in detail. I need to go find her now, but there are many obstacles ahead."

While accelerating, several vehicles appeared in front.

Shin Ara also glanced in that direction but remained silent.

"If she hears that you helped, Shin Sooah would appreciate it, don't you think?"

"...."

After a moment of contemplation, Shin Ara opened her mouth with a smiling face, as sly as usual.

"Since it's a favor for our Sooah, I have no choice but to help. You have to tell her my story well, okay?"

[Ability 'Asura' is activated!]

And as soon as the conversation ended, a terrifying ability was activated. When 'Asura' was triggered, it seemed as if the aura of a demon was surging behind her. She immediately got out of the car, raised her sword, and began attacking the vehicles ahead.

"What, what is this person doing...!"

"Stop her! There's only one opponent...! Aaargh!"

In an instant, the road turned into chaos. As Seo Gangrim raced ahead, the camera drone quickly started chasing him.

[Now, the race is coming to an end! The course is almost over! As we approach the last section, players Seo Gangrim and Dokgo Jun are threatening the lead once again!"

The surroundings had become quite desolate. No people were visible, only the quickly passing outside scenery.

Then, Seo Gangrim saw people racing ahead. Driving a sports car wildly was undoubtedly Shin Sooah, with Yu Harang sitting beside her. Shin Sooah aggressively turned the steering wheel with one hand, swiftly navigating through the corners.

Afterward, Jang Taehun, riding a motorcycle, was speeding ahead. Father Johan sat in the back, but his face was pale, possibly due to the speed.

-Kwaaah!

Following them, other awakened individuals had formed an alliance and were pressuring the Flying Tiger Sect. The number of enemies was quite significant.

"Wow, this is no joke. It would have been fun to go to Shin Sooah-ss."

Dokgo Jun laughed heartily as if enjoying the spectacle. Seo Gangrim had no time to mock him.

[The leader has entered the final section! In this section..."]

As the host's words faded, a buzzing noise started to be heard. Soon after, the broadcast resumed, and a distinctly different voice echoed.

A sinister and energetic voice resonated.

[From now on, the clown's banquet will begin.]
