Episode 201 Change (1)

* * *

From the moment the battle between Kang-hoo and Cha So-hyeok began, Ayane put down her gun and watched the battle between the two.

There was also a signal from Kang-hoo not to add firepower, and he himself had intended to do the same.

I watched with bated breath.

Considering the battles that had made other hunters’ eyes rot in the Fukuoka Liberation Zone, the current picture was almost a masterpiece.

In particular, Kang-hoo’s movements were so amazing that Ayane found herself admiring them without even realizing it.

but.

‘An assassin under level 200 keeps his distance from an inspector over level 300… … .’

Ayane realized that Kang-hoo’s level was below 200 because he couldn’t hide right away.

The assassin’s level 200 basic skill, ‘Stealth’, allows for instantaneous stealth.

However, Kang-hoo’s hiding was always activated by moving horizontally, or by hiding behind a curtain of trickery.

So I thought it was even more amazing.

That means the horizontal movement skill has reached maximum proficiency.

This means that there is a skill that indirectly assists hiding.

Based on what Ayane had seen of Cha So-hyeok’s movements, his level was likely well over 300.

Considering the difference in level and the special awakening skills, it would have been right to finish off Kang-hoo a long time ago.

The number called level doesn’t exist for nothing. It proves the difference between skill and ability.

However, Kang-hoo was able to overcome that difference with his skills and abilities.

“At this point, isn’t it enough to make the inspector’s body swell with anger? Even I, who’s watching, am getting angry… … .”

Ayane stuck out her tongue when she saw Kang-hoo keeping an extreme distance. It was really shocking.

Cha So-hyeok has been trying to land effective attacks on Kang-hoo in some way, but has never succeeded.

A situation where you can’t help but get angry.

Even though you’re attacking like crazy with your own strengthening buff, you’re not giving up your distance.

In baseball terms, it’s like the pitcher not throwing the ball to home plate and just keeping it under control.

Since he didn’t give me a chance to win, I couldn’t help but get angry.

“If he were a smart prosecutor, he would go for a slow attack as well, but he doesn’t seem to have that kind of personality.”

Unlike Kang-hoo, who had been fighting without changing his expression from the beginning.

The Cha So-hyuk that Ayane could see was the very embodiment of a choleric personality. Even now, his eyes were half-rolled over.

It seems that he is completely caught up in Kang-hoo’s strategy.

at that time.

Bang!

Cha So-hyeok, who was clinging to Kang-hoo while spewing out curses, swung his sword at Kang-hoo.

However, it was immediately blocked by the protective barrier, and Kang-hoo quickly used Shadow Step to distance himself again.

“Fuck! F**k! F**k! F**k!”

Cha So-hyeok expressed his anger by striking the ground with his sword.

Even the single attack that did reach him was useless against his defense, so it was because the medicine had taken effect.

In the meantime, since I had used up a lot of stamina, I paused for a moment to control my breathing, which had become tangled.

The problem was right at this point.

Kang-hoo, who seemed to have stepped back, changed his position to another shadow and immediately rushed towards Cha So-hyeok.

It was a counterattack that didn’t give us even a moment to breathe, or even half a beat.

“This kid… … !”

Cha So-hyeok was not a fool with his eyes open, so he immediately grabbed his sword and used all his might to create wind.

It was a response that raised its strength considerably momentarily, and it was an all-out effort to somehow push Kang-hoo away.

Pot.

But Kang-hoo too easily retreated using the shadow again. It was as if he had no intention of fighting in the first place.

“Wow… … This is really frustrating?”

Ayane was amazed.

As expected, his eyes, which had been seeing Kang-hoo fiercely fighting with Jeong-seon-rak, were not wrong.

It was a real country.

That’s a really great assassin too.

Of the many assassins she had encountered by the time she reached level 400, Kang-hoo was by far the best.

No, it feels like an insult to even compare them to the rest of the ‘scrap’.

A strong, skilled, yet cool-headed assassin who is never complacent.

Ayane was now looking at Kang-hoo with her arms folded and a smile on her face, as if she were his mother.

Really… … I thought he was a well-grown assassin. He was so good that I thought it was a treat to the eyes.

* * *

one side.

‘Don’t you get tired of this? You crazy bastard.’

Kang-hoo maintained a relaxed poker face the whole time, but he was thinking a lot inside.

First of all, the task of making Cha So-hyeok follow along at his own pace was definitely successful.

Cha So-hyuk was becoming increasingly vulnerable, and as his patience wore out, he became more and more violent.

In the process, there were a lot of unnecessary movements, which became a trigger that further wore down my physical strength.

Mad Solarkyum has about 10 minutes left to run.

Because I had been fighting with extreme evasion, I felt like I was half-passing out when the weak kick ended.

Cha So-hyeok was tired, but Kang-hoo was also tired. He just put it off for a while with Mad Solar Ki-um.

The line of distortion. And the black moon.

I was saving these two skills as much as possible. I was planning on using them later as a finishing move.

‘There’s no need to rush. Even if five minutes pass without incident, combat is something where your life can end in a second.’

It smoothed out my emotions.

The one who is more impatient than you right now is probably Cha So-hyuk. That is why you need to maintain a more relaxed expression.

The more you show it, the more impatient you become, the more you rush, the more you lose.

Kang-hoo intended to hold out until a clear gap appeared.

* * *

Six more minutes passed since then.

There were two issues.

Cha So-hyeok was wounded twice on his left arm by Kang-hoo’s beheading attack.

It’s not a deep wound, though.

It wasn’t 100% strength, and it wasn’t at a level where he could hold the sword normally.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo was injured on his left foot and left arm, but it was not severe enough to impede his movements.

Anyway, I’m ambidextrous and my dominant hand is my right hand, so it didn’t affect my ability to fight.

‘Bloodborne, that skill is coming out. What is it? It lasts as long as Mad Solar Ki-um?’

Cha So-hyeok’s own buff skill, Blood Vigor. This skill exceeded Kang-hoo’s expectations.

Because of this skill, Cha So-hyeok was able to continue to endure like a hawk even when he seemed to be getting tired.

Throughout the entire fight with Cha So-hyeok, I never had a moment to relax.

Dodge, hit, and escape.

I felt like this was a battle between the skilled.

If you go much higher than now, battles will become a daily occurrence.

It was a completely different picture from when I had previously faced low-level guys like the Jin-ho and Jin-soo Choi brothers.

So I was more excited, but my body was screaming that it was going to die.

Rather, it is a situation where it should be said that it is amazing that the level difference of more than 150 has been completely overcome.

‘It’s getting messy. Cha So-hyeok is a little more aggressive than me. He’s more aggressive, but less defensive. Three minutes left… … .’

Now, Cha So-hyeok’s condition has been lowered to the level that Kang-hoo wants.

Just like in boxing, when you reach the end, your guard goes down badly. That’s exactly what Cha So-hyeok is like now.

Of course, it wasn’t easy for Kang-hoo to maintain his stance while holding the dagger either.

“Stop running away, sticking, this dog!”

Soon, Cha So-hyeok rushed at me again, cursing in anger.

His red, bloodshot eyes looked as if they would burst at any moment.

‘Okay.’

Finally, I noticed Cha So-hyeok’s weakness that I had been waiting for with patience.

Kang-hoo used all his might in his illusion, clone, and shadow walking skills to attract Cha So-hyeok’s attention.

In the meantime.

I deployed a skill that I had secretly prepared in the rear. It was the Distortion Line.

A line of death mana stretches out not far away, completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

If I hadn’t been distracted by the illusion and the shadows, I might have seen a brief, fleeting ripple in space.

However, Cha So-hyeok, who had lost his composure, was exploding with anger, chasing away the illusions and shadows with his sword wind.

“Haha! If you swing it, it’ll scatter!”

Cha So-hyeok, who had swept away the welcome and shadow at once, pushed himself into Kang-hu.

This time, because the movement stopped while using skills in succession, Kang-hoo couldn’t even open the distance.

Even the shadows that could be used were blown away by Cha So-hyeok. This must be because he had previously learned the repertoire.

Bang! Bang!

Twice.

His greatsword and Kang-hoo’s dagger crossed. Because the dagger’s surface area was narrow, the pressure was much greater.

‘again.’

Kang-hoo once again performed a shadow walk, sending a shadow behind him.

The remaining four were sent to Cha So-hyeok, but it clouded his vision.

Cha So-hyeok completely ignored him and only targeted Kang-hu.

Movement is restricted because the diagonal line of distortion is placed behind.

Kang-hoo decided to strategically give up his body.

Break!

That was exactly what was intended to ‘produce’ the result of giving the front of the body a close second.

Half of it was staged.

But I guess I was a little late in my guessing, so my body leaned forward slightly, and the blow went in a little deeper than I expected.

Phew!

Blood spurted from Kang-hoo’s abdomen.

It’s not like the peritoneum was injured, but rather the epidermis was cut long enough.

So, the situation was portrayed more plausibly.

Cha So-hyeok’s eyes changed when he saw blood.

“Die, you little shit!”

Cha So-hyeok, excited at the thought of finally getting a hit on Kang-hoo, flew up.

It was a firm determination to use all of his strength and completely bring down Kang-hoo.

Pfft!

At that moment, Kang-hoo moved his body to the position of the shadow he had cast behind him. It was a response he had made before, and there was no sense of incongruity.

Here, Cha So-hyeok should have stopped.

I should have done that, but… … .

Tadadadot!

As soon as he set foot on the ground, he sprinted forward, like a bull rushing toward a red quilt.

and.

Slurp… … .

My body was caught in the diagonal line of distortion.

The line wrapped tightly around my chest gave me a sudden feeling of discomfort.

“What, what is this… … ?”

From the moment their bodies touched, the distorted diagonal line made its presence known by emitting an ivory-colored light.

When it comes into contact with the human body, it reacts with mana and takes on a color, and that was exactly the situation right now.

Kang-hoo immediately activated the distortion.

“Kuaaaah! Eww!”

Then, the entire line wrapped around his chest acted like a sharp saw, causing blood to spurt out of his flesh and tearing his muscles.

Because the distortion continues, it looks like flesh is being torn by the twists of space.

“What the heck!”

Cha So-hyeok was flustered and struggled to somehow break the line.

I couldn’t keep my composure for fear that if I continued like this, my body would be torn in half while standing.

Blood spurted from the hand that held the line, but that wasn’t important. The priority was to get it off.

at that time.

【Black Moon Cham】

Kang-hoo had already finished preparing for the next step.

If you use a clumsy beheading or lightning sword here, things will get more complicated.

A solid blow seemed appropriate. If only to cut ties with the guy and his sister.

“Phew.”

Take a breath.

Maximize the energy of the Black Moon Slash by carrying as much of the Dark Age as possible.

and.

“Kill him!”

Cha So-hyeok, who had finally pulled the line with his bloody hands, rushed forward with an angry rebuke.

Seeing!

At the same time, the Black Moon Sword left the tip of Kang-hoo’s sword.

A song of the sword that calls for death, cursed by the black moon.

The power of the one-hit kill was aimed squarely at the center of Cha So-hyeok’s chest.

Next.

Swaaaaaaah… … !

Cha So-hyeok could feel it.

A destructive force that could not be stopped by a sword cut his sword in half and cut off his chest.

The gaze that should have been focused solely on Kang-hoo was instead turned towards the sky.

That’s right.

His body wasn’t where it should have been. It was flying through the air.
