Episode 199 The Chaser (4)

* * *

After coming to Osaka.

From the moment Cha So-hyeok saw the car Kang-hoo was in and the back of his head, he wanted to kill Kang-hoo so badly.

However, there were three hunters sent by the Toushi Guild to help Cha So-hyeok and seek their revenge.

Because there was a strong request from Kim In-ho to move after confirming that there was no tail behind Kang-hoo.

I was somehow holding back my bubbling emotions. It really felt like my blood was flowing back out.

For several days, I tracked Kang-hoo from afar.

Kang-hoo, who often goes for drives in and out of the city, seemed quite cautious as expected.

Whenever he went somewhere, he was always talking to someone and looked around cautiously.

However, the escort from the Ricou Guild, which I was most worried about, was not there.

Perhaps because I’m not a member of the guild, I don’t think they care that much.

On the one hand, it seemed that there was some room for confidence because the entire city of Osaka was relatively well maintained in terms of public safety.

After waiting for four days, the time to target Kang-hoo finally came.

After tracking him for over 30 minutes, we confirmed that there was no Ricou Guild security following him.

It was far enough out in the suburbs that there was no possibility of immediate intervention by outside forces if something happened.

From the looks of it, it seemed like they were exploring a hidden dungeon.

Did he intend to claim ownership if he found it?

Kang-hoo, who was only thinking about taking care of his own interests even overseas, was disgusting to Cha So-hyeok.

But at some point, Kang-hoo stopped moving.

Then he sat down on an old rock nearby and looked back.

Even with his arms crossed, he was clearly watching me.

Soon, Cha So-hyeok and Kang-hoo’s eyes met. The first thing Cha So-hyeok heard from Kang-hoo was.

“Cha So-hyeok?”

It was Kang-hoo’s call, who knew his own name exactly.

* * *

– Jang Si-hwan thought that it would be better to cut off the string of ill-fated relationships and move on.

Even if you ignore it and let it go, the evil will eventually grab onto that string and come chasing you back.

So, even though it might be rough, he never tried to ignore the bad relationship. He always challenged and confronted it.

Same time.

Kang-hoo was recalling the words written in the original work.

It was a meaningful statement even when I thought about it carefully. Because Cha So-hyeok is exactly that kind of case.

Even if you try to ignore it and stay away, the tangled web of ill-fated relationships is not easily unraveled.

There is only one way.

Breaking it with death. Then it will not stretch, nor will it give you the feeling of anxiety that it will become taut someday.

“Cha So-hyeok?”

Kang-hoo saw a face that looked just like Cha So-hee and immediately recognized Cha So-hyeok.

They had faces that were so obvious that anyone could tell they were siblings.

Even when he lived the life of the original author, and even now that he is living the life of Shin Kang-hoo, Kang-hoo had no siblings.

So I always wondered. Is it true that brothers, sisters, and siblings all have faces that are exactly like this?

How would you feel if you saw a younger sister or older sister who looked like you? And what if that face was smiling?

I’ve never experienced it, so I can only imagine. But if you had long hair and a bright smile on your face… … it would seem really strange.

“신강후, 이 개새끼.”

Accumulate double curses on your first meeting.

It wasn’t a new reaction, as it was an expected reaction. Cha So-hyeok probably thought that his younger brother had died unjustly.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo used silence as an excuse to confirm the enemy’s composition.

A total of four people.

Cha So-hyeok is a prosecutor.

Although the inspection is subdivided according to style, it can be seen as an extreme damage inspection. It is a type that focuses on attack.

And behind Cha So-hyeok, three hunters from the Toushi Guild are ready to rush into battle at any time.

They appeared to be a warlock, an archer, and an assassin respectively.

If you include prosecutor Cha So-hyeok, they are the most fucked up combination to deal with.

I’m getting a headache because I’ve come up with a combination that works for close range, long range, and rear attacks.

wee.

I had an impulsive thought of trying to escape by teleporting to a pre-designated location.

But I quit right away. Avoidance is not the answer. It only buys me a little time and then comes back as a bigger wave.

【Great Sage of Gangdong】

【A constellation that can see through the invisible. It designates a single target and identifies their appearance in an opaque form even when they are hidden.】

First, Kang-hoo used the Great Sage Constellation of Kang-dong to secretly track down the assassin.

Since there was no special effect, the assassin was unknowingly assigned to Kang-hoo.

And I’ve also finished calculating my response to the black magician who seems to be targeting my mind.

【First. You are 90% immune to mental attacks from hunters within a range of twice the contractor’s level.

Even if you fail to deal with it with a 10% chance, ‘Wisdom Eye’ will activate and enforce immunity. However, it cannot be activated again for 1 day.

The first constellation privilege is immunity to mental attacks.

Considering Kang-hoo’s current level, the only thing that matters is that the Warlock’s level is not higher than 399.

Given the circumstances, it seemed unlikely that a level 400 black magic hunter would be given to Cha So-hyeok.

Since the archer already had a plan in place with the ‘hidden card’, he was only thinking about how to respond to any variables.

Cha So-hyeok spoke to Kang-hoo, his right hand full of veins holding his sword.

“Today, I will take revenge on Sohee, and at the same time, I will take revenge on the members of the Toushi Guild.”

“Ugh.”

As soon as Kang-hoo burst out laughing, Cha So-hyeok’s eyebrows furrowed. It was a sign of displeasure.

Kang-hoo continued speaking.

“The comment is well-written. But the drawing is not good. Well… … Even petty revenge is still revenge, right?”

“This X -footed baby!”

As expected of Cha So-hyeok’s hot-tempered personality, he immediately glared at the obvious provocative comment and rushed at her.

Papat! Woof! Weeeeeelping!

As soon as it started, a change occurred in the three behind it.

The assassin was seen using his level 200 basic skill, Stealth, to sneak to the side.

The warlock was creating a black sphere with his fingertips.

The archer was pulling back the bowstring and using a skill similar to the clone technique. It seemed to be aimed at diverting attention.

Kang-hoo immediately put one Mad Solarkid in his mouth. Now there are three left.

【Soul Waves】

And then I wrote the soul wave.

I felt a headache because the effects of Mad Solarkyum had not yet spread, but I ignored it.

The next moment.

Psutt… … !

The archer’s form, which had branched out into at least ten branches, disappeared, and only the main body remained clearly visible. The connection was immediately severed.

at that time.

Taang!

Blood spurted from the archer’s temple with a heavy gunshot. It was a sniper bullet.

“… … ?”

At that moment, the other three, including Cha So-hyeok, were shocked. This was because there was an unexpected variable.

There are no buildings nearby where snipers could be located.

The only nearby building was an old, unfinished building that was about 900 meters away.

‘With this level of firepower and speed, it would be safe to say that it’s close to a gunner’s hidden skill.’

Kang-hoo was impressed by Ayane’s sniping skills, which were proven to be effective.

Of course, it is not a special skill that can be seen again in a short period of time. It requires quite a lot of time to recharge.

That is, from now on, a one-on-three battle is unavoidable.

“Stick!”

Cha So-hyeok shouted and rushed towards Kang-hu.

Even in the midst of the surprise, Cha So-hyuk made the most correct decision.

If there is sniper support, it is difficult for the target to blend in with the allies as much as possible.

Since the distance is not close, you have to be careful when sniping unless you plan on team killing.

When Kang-hoo looked at the constellation information of the remaining three, he thought that their levels were not as high as he had thought.

Including Cha So-hyeok, it is estimated that the total will be in the 300s. If we take a low view, it could even go down to the late 200s.

‘From the assassin.’

Kang-hoo’s first target was neither the most active Cha So-hyeok nor the warlock at a distance.

He was an assassin of the same class.

When there are a lot of enemies, the class that is easiest to miss from sight is the Assassin.

Even if you set up a stealth tracking, you can lose track of its movements if you let your guard down for a moment. That’s why it was a top priority for elimination.

【Clone Technique】

First, he created a clone and sent it towards Cha So-hyeok.

【Welcome Drink】

Here, the illusions created by the illusion spell were sent towards the warlock, intentionally disrupting his vision.

【Shadow Walk】

I created one more option.

By making the five shadows scatter in different directions, judgment was made difficult.

From the opponent’s perspective, it is a dazzling picture of eleven other Kang-hoos moving around: one clone, five illusions, five shadows.

He charged towards the assassin.

Just then, I felt a tickle in my head.

There was an attempt at mind control by a warlock. It was clear that there was a skill involved.

But thanks to the strategist of the wilderness, the black magic hunter’s attempts were in vain.

At that moment, a strange glance exchanged between the assassin and the warlock.

The assassin looked at him as if he was wondering what was going on, and the warlock looked perplexed.

It seemed like there was a play that had been agreed upon between the two. It was blocked by Kang-hoo’s mental attack immunity.

I never thought that an assassin with a weakness for magic would be dealt with so easily.

Meanwhile, the assassin of the Toushi Guild flinched for a moment as he saw Kang-hoo running straight towards him.

He was in hiding.

Of course, you can estimate the location to some extent by the sounds, movement of the ground, and the flow of the wind.

However, the route that Kang-hoo was approaching now was an impossible route if the location could not be precisely identified.

X is right!

It doesn’t matter if I get caught.

After all, a fight between assassins is a battle of who can stab the other person in the vital spot with a dagger first.

Once I got close, I was confident that I could properly take his life. I also had the ultimate skill to do so.

But right then.

【The Curtain of Skill】

Kang-hoo completely disappeared from the assassin’s sight.

Kang-hoo disappeared from sight as if he had been erased from space in an instant.

Even in the midst of heightened senses, Kang-hoo’s position was difficult to determine.

It felt like I was playing on a concept that was much higher than the general concept of hiding. The expression absolute hiding would be more appropriate.

The assassin’s panicked mind was immediately calmed down.

Isn’t this a situation where we can’t see each other? Then let’s just play tag.

Still, just in case, I prepared by holding the dagger in reverse and turning my body left and right.

Anyway, to attack, you have to break the stealth state. There is no eternal stealth.

But then a variable occurred.

“100 million……!”

The assassin’s body was suddenly sucked backwards.

Kang-hoo, who had moved behind the assassin, used the kidnapping skill.

The assassin, who had not been able to find Kang-hoo’s location until just before, was dragged away without even being able to respond.

Even the assassin wasn’t stupid.

Although he was hit by an unexpected skill, he used the clone technique while being dragged away and created a shield.

Even in the current situation where it was clear that he had used the skill, it was strange that Kang-hoo’s hiding power was not broken.

I did what I had to do.

I went into hiding again, made no sound with my shadow, and used acceleration and lateral movement to dodge from the side.

If my proficiency was at its maximum, then horizontal movement would have become backward movement, but unfortunately my proficiency was still lacking.

In any case, it was a classic evasive maneuver that faithfully utilized the assassin’s basic skills.

A perfect response of quickly deploying stealth and then immediately hiding again!

The assassin described his own response thusly:

But there was one fatal problem he was unaware of.

The hunter who had been watching all of this from beginning to end with his own two eyes was Kang-hoo.

Even inside the curtain of artifice, Kang-hoo’s appearance was not visible to anyone.

It was perfect hiding.

Although he was an assassin whose level was 100 or more higher than Kang-hoo’s, the level of skill he used and the world he lived in were as different as heaven and earth.

Unfortunately.

The assassin was the only one who didn’t know that fact. There was no frog in the well.
