Episode 219: The Queen of Crowds (2)

Kang-hoo spun around in a semicircle, his dagger still stuck in the Queen of the Crow’s side.

There was no need to turn away from the Queen of the Crows. I could just turn around while facing her.

yet.

Phew!

Using the dagger in his left hand, he stabbed the queen in the other side of her ribs.

I can feel the pressure of my stamina being cut in half in an instant.

The decapitation requires a high amount of stamina and magic power, consuming 25% of both at once.

This time too, the dagger was stuck properly so it was not easy to pull it out.

It must be an unimaginable strength created by the determination and determination to catch the queen of the group at all costs.

Even though he used the main dagger, Corrupted Faith, and the secondary dagger, Blood Flow, Kang-hoo still had the edge of slaughter and the joy of the sky.

Both are 4th and 5th grade items as spare daggers.

As the weapon level went up, I no longer used it as my main weapon, but I always kept it in my pocket as a spare.

Kang-hoo, who had the Boundary of Massacre as his main dagger and the Joy of the Sky as his secondary dagger, immediately followed up with the next attack.

I didn’t care about the dagger I mentioned earlier, because I could just kill the queen and retrieve it.

“It’s not over yet!”

Kang-hoo stabbed his daggers into both sides of his body in succession, then turned around and faced the Queen of the Crows.

He accelerated his body forward again, and with all his might he drove a third slash into the chest.

Phew!

“… … !”

The queen of the mob didn’t even have time to groan, and just glared at Kang-hoo with her wide-open eyes.

After three blows, my body became so tense that I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

yet.

The efficacy of each pill remained.

Even after being struck three times with fatal blows, the Queen of the Crows turned her arm and tried to cut off Kang-hoo’s head.

It was threatening because it came in like a pair of scissors right in front of me, but I was able to avoid it with the calculation power of Gakshinhwan.

It was close, but I managed to avoid it without getting hit.

“Ugh.”

【Frenzy Healing】

Kang-hoo felt the pressure of his stamina plummeting, so he took a slight step back and began to recover his stamina.

The overload on his body was enormous, perhaps because he consumed nearly 70% of his physical strength and magical power in an instant.

This was a heavy burden that my body felt, separate from the Mad Solarium and Gakshinhwan I ate.

To begin with, all of Kang-hoo’s skills are designed to push him to his limit and overpower him.

Mad Solarium and Gakshinhwan are structures that further whip the overheated body.

It’s true that I’ve become stronger as a hunter, but as for my lifespan as a human, well… … I’m wondering.

I am certain that if I continue to be overworked like this, it will be difficult for me to live out my life.

Anyway, while the Queen of the Crow was staggering, Kang-hoo, who had recovered some of his stamina, caught his breath again.

Despite three devastating attacks, the Brood Queen is still alive.

Tata-tat!

He charged towards the Queen of the Swarm with the last dagger, Sky’s Ecstasy.

Her arms tried to rise again, but they were much slower than before, so she was slow to react.

Meanwhile, Kang-hoo stepped on her half-bent knees as a stepping stone and soared high into the sky.

And then, holding the joy of the sky with both hands, he thrust the dagger into the center of his head.

【Great Beheading】

The fourth beheading.

I was in a semi-exhausted state where my starting health was reduced to 10% of my maximum, but I didn’t care.

“Crunch… … .”

A final scream erupted from the queen of the flock.

The sight of him with daggers stuck in his sides, chest, and the center of his head was extremely grotesque.

What’s even more surprising is that, despite all this, the Queen of the Brood’s life has not yet ended.

【Blood】

So, Kang-hoo foolishly activated the blood fire.

Then, red flowers bloomed in all directions, and the dagger that had been stuck in was thrown out by the pressure of the explosion.

【Soul Imprint – Recovery】

Retrieve the dagger using skill.

The four daggers held in Kang-hoo’s hand were all dyed red with blood instead of their usual colors.

“Coolook.”

The world changed as soon as the effects of the Gakshinhwan wore off.

The once bright sky soon regained its original dullness, and time, which had slowed down, became faster again.

It felt like the wings that had been lightening my body had disappeared? But it wasn’t strange because it felt like it had returned to its original state.

It was a pity.

I think I can understand why hunters keep turning to narcotic stimulants.

Once you taste something that surpasses your limits, your original form starts to feel insignificant and worthless.

“Keukgeukgeu… … .”

The brood queen stumbles.

Kang-hoo felt anew the tenacity of life that did not die even though blood was pouring out from all over the body.

As the difficulty level increases in the future, the level of the boss monsters you will face will also become similar.

Furthermore, it is likely that the top-tier, upper-level hunters who challenge their limits as non-human hunters will also have this power.

I didn’t want to rush back to the queen with my stamina depleted. It might cause unnecessary variables.

so.

【Hell of Thorns】

He used the thorn hell towards the queen of the group who was unable to move but was still alive.

The soil was favorable for utilizing the thorn hell as it was a mixture of large and small stones.

Lightly position yourself to the side of the Queen of the Swarm, and then activate Thorn Hell.

Card! Card!

The two thorns struck the queen’s body twice, spacing them out just right.

That was the end of it.

The queen of the brood, who had been tattered like a paper doll, breathed her last at the end of the thorny hell.

With her death, the level went up significantly. 234.

It was a pretty lucrative business considering the experience alone, but I didn’t want to hunt her alone again.

To hunt easily, you definitely need a buffer like Park Dong-jae, not a solo player. It’s an essential component.

“Phew. Phew.”

Kang-hoo was finally able to catch his breath and catch his breath.

My body feels heavy as a thousand pounds, but I must achieve my goal. That is, to remove the heart. The last task remains.

* * *

“what?”

– The corpse of the Queen of the Brood seems like it could be of some use. If we leave it alone, it will probably start to rot. Could you help us collect it?

“So you caught the queen of the group, and she’s located near Yuri Land?”

– Yes, it’s close. It will take about 15 minutes.

K, who was leisurely enjoying tea time after receiving a call from Kang-hoo, was startled and stood up from his seat.

First, I was surprised that it was near Yuri Land, and then I was surprised that I had ‘captured’ the swarm queen.

“Get ready right away. No, I’ll send Yuri first. But how did you catch him?”

– Aren’t the results what’s important?

“That’s true too… … but it’s true that even Hyungseo and Bohye have a hard time dealing with the Queen.”

K stuck out his tongue.

The Brood Queen’s military power level is high, and it is common for hybrids to move together to deal with the Brood Queen.

Since there are more than one or two annoying and difficult things, the queen of the group is rarely touched.

But the thing is, they caught it.

But the location was just too weird.

There are no brood queens living near Glass Land. This can be easily inferred since there are no hybrids.

– I’ll wait.

“Oh, okay. Just wait for now.”

K started to get dressed in a hurry. It was a shame to waste the tea he had barely had a sip of, but there was a corpse there that cost much more than the tea.

* * *

Jeong Yu-ri, who arrived at the scene first under K’s instructions, looked at the Queen’s body with a dumbfounded expression.

The unmistakable appearance of the Queen of the Bunch. The dagger marks left deep on her body are clearly visible.

“Did your brother catch him?”

“uh.”

“But hasn’t it been a while since you left the villa? Have you been around here the whole time?”

“So to speak, it’s long.”

Kang-hoo was careful with his words.

Because I didn’t really want to talk about the ability to teleport.

It’s not that I don’t trust her, I just don’t want to brag about it.

Even if I don’t say anything, it’s not hard to guess what happened based on the circumstances.

The fact that both Kang-hoo and Queen Moori were not where they should have been can only be explained by the fact that they ‘moved’.

“Wow… … I really can’t believe this? Oppa, the Queen of the Crow couldn’t even catch Hyungseo and Bohye.”

“I already heard.”

“Oh, to Grandpa? It’s not that he’s ignoring you, it’s just that you’re a difficult monster.”

“Let’s just look at the results.”

Kang-hoo smiled awkwardly.

Actually, that’s not wrong.

Isn’t the result more important than how you caught it? You either died or you lived. There are only two results.

Even if you fought well, if the enemy survived, it was a failure. Even if you fought poorly, if the enemy died, it was a success.

“I’ll freeze it for now.”

Jeong Yu-ri began to blow cold air onto the corpse of the queen of the group lying on the floor.

There seemed to be a lot of scars on the left side of her chest, but I didn’t really pay attention to it. There must have been something to it.

Kang-hoo nodded after seeing that Jeong-yu-ri had gained a skill related to freezing that she didn’t have before.

Growth is not something that only you do. It seems that Jeong Yu-ri is also growing and unleashing her potential.

since.

Kang-hoo and Jeong-yu-ri talked about many things while waiting for K.

Jeong Yu-ri was curious about what Kang-hoo had experienced in Japan, and Kang-hoo was curious about Jeong Yu-ri’s whereabouts during that time.

As we talked to each other, time passed quickly. But.

‘No aftershock?’

As the duration of Mad Solarkyum was about to end, Kang-hoo, who was preparing to take a short break, tilted his head.

This battle was a fierce and chaotic one, with the Queen of the Crows fighting while eating Mad Solarkyum and even the Holy Grail.

In other words, it was a battle where it wouldn’t have been strange if I became exhausted when the duration ended. I had used up all my strength.

But even after the duration was over, my body felt light. There was no dizziness or feeling like I was going to pass out.

I just felt a little bit physically tired. This was just my body’s own fatigue from the battle.

‘no way?’

If I eat Mad Solarkyum and the Gakshinhwan, will I be able to control the aftermath that follows?

When I first took Gakshinhwan, I thought that it had better synergy with Mad Solarkyum than I had thought.

This is because the brain and senses reacted more intensely than expected. I thought it was different from the general case.

But I didn’t know that the problem would be solved after taking it.

I’ll have to check it out again, but looking at the current situation, there were no aftereffects if we ate it together.

Of course, each Shinhwan is very rare and cannot be used often. However, it is an unexpected combination.

Since there were nine remaining Kakshinhwan, it seemed like I would be able to deal with the aftershocks like this at least nine more times.

After a while, K arrives.

Kang-hoo’s schedule in North Korea came to a close as the body of the Queen of the Crow was loaded onto a special vehicle for storage.

It’s a shame that there are only 14 Mad Solarkid’s, but since we saved the heart, we’ve achieved our goal.

Once I get back, I’ll discuss with K how to sell the Queen’s body.

I was thinking of just breaking the seal on the random skill book.

His heart was pounding because a 100% chance lottery ticket that he hadn’t scratched yet was waiting for him.
