Episode 158. Together, Hanshin (3)
“Something happened.”
It was around the time when I started worrying about such a sudden settlement fee.
I suddenly sensed the magical power of another person bursting out and turned my head.
“Ugh, ugh… … !”
Looking closely, I could hear the sound of teeth gnashing coming from the direction of the fallen Jo Sang-o.
That A-class hunter didn’t completely faint even after being hit head-on by a unique-class magical tool.
But it is true that there was considerable shock and I still can’t control my body properly.
‘You’re conscious?!’
For your information, this person was on edge due to a sudden injury.
But how scared must you have been when the enemy in front of you was muttering curses and releasing magical power?
I reflexively pulled out my weapon.
I was planning to deliver a killing blow before the mysterious sorcerer could recover.
However, Jo Sang-oh’s awakening level is roughly at the upper A-class level.
Hydra won’t be able to penetrate the magical barrier of that fully-armed sorcerer. For now, we’ll have to rely on means other than physical wounds.
[Scream stake]
[Rank: Unique]
[Description: Inflicts [Pain] status effect on the target.]
As I said before, the Awakened people here tend to neglect their abnormal status resistance equipment.
“Hey, this f*cking punk! What the hell are you doing to me… .”
I approached the ground-crawling hunter, my weapon gripped tightly.
“I’ll kill you… … !”
What followed was a silvery trail cutting through the air.
And someone’s screaming.
***
-Ahhhhh… Ouch… … !
Wow!
A quiet afternoon.
Neo Sisters’ new guild members prick up their ears at the noise that erupts from afar.
“What’s that scream?”
“Where did that devil come from?”
The new guild member had an above-average sense of justice, as he had chosen a profession that involved protecting his neighbors.
So, as soon as I heard the scream, I ran towards the sound with my boss.
If the citizens were in danger, it seemed like the Awakened could help.
“omg.”
But guess what?
When we arrived at the crossroads in question, the situation that unfolded was not simple.
In a bleak landscape where pedestrians were strewn about like corpses, a blond man was stabbing someone with no expression on his face.
“Eww!”
The screams erupted again.
The person being attacked did not show any particular injuries, but for some reason, he let out a tearful cry every time he was stabbed by the opponent.
Then, the fallen hunter cowers tightly, clutching the injured area.
His eyes were soaked with sweat, and digestive juices that he couldn’t swallow were flowing out of his mouth.
“Kwaaaaah!”
The one holding the knife, seeing his opponent’s shabby appearance, felt no pity and simply continued to attack fiercely.
It was a truly cold-blooded attitude.
‘Huh? That guy… …!’
But at this time, the new member of the Neo Sisters discovers the identity of the cruel and ruthless man.
Wearing a suit with black 300-year-old glasses.
Isn’t this a unique characteristic of Korea’s fourth S-class?
‘Oh my gosh, is this real?’
She had heard a lot about that hunter from her immediate senior, so she was secretly looking forward to meeting him.
But I didn’t know I would see Kim Ki-ryeo in person at a time like this.
It’s not like I’m doing a cool job of clearing the dungeon.
It’s not like we just happened to run into each other at a place like the Hunter’s Association.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Is it really possible to stab the same person so mercilessly?
‘What on earth is going on!’
Neo’s new recruits were shocked and flustered by the sight they were seeing for the first time, but in fact, they were no less confused.
“Save me, save me… … !”
Jo Sang-oh, who was being beaten up by Gi-ryeo, was asking for forgiveness without realizing it.
What on earth is going on?
No matter what, I never imagined a defeat like this.
When I discovered Kim Ki-ryeo’s weakness, I was overjoyed, and I thought that with the skills I had honed over the years, I would be able to at least have a decent match. I never thought I would end up rolling around miserably without even being able to put up a proper fight.
‘Whoa, wha, what happened!’
It’s natural to be surprised when your body’s control collapses without you even knowing it.

At this very moment, Jo Sang-oh was flustered and asked to talk because his hands and feet were not moving properly.
“Okay, wait! Hunter! Got it. Got it. Now just stop for a moment… … Keuuuuck!”
The attempt ended in failure.
From Kiria’s perspective, it was impossible to believe the words of a man who suddenly pulled out an axe on the street.
What if I give this kid a chance and he gets threatened again?
‘We need to render him completely incapacitated before he gets hit in the back of the head for no reason!’
However, the stun item was just used and was put on cooldown.
So the only thing you can do right now is to use [Scream Stake] to inflict mental damage.
“Ouch, aaaah!”
How can Kim Ki-ryeo continue to torture people without any hesitation while they cry to the point of suffocation?
Therein lay the innate problems of his soul.
Unfortunately, the wizard here is too distant from his counterpart to gain appreciation from the cries of mammals.
Conversely, this was similar to the phenomenon of humans being indifferent to the rise of jellyfish.
Yes. Jellyfish. How many people on this planet truly sympathize with the plight of jellyfish?
“Please, please stop… … . Stop it!”
Bloodshot eyes. Cracked vocal cords.
Jo Sang-oh tried to somehow respond to the situation by flailing his limbs that were not moving well, but one alien launched a mental attack without even blinking.
“Ugh, ugh… … ! Ugh.”
When I hold the wound with trembling hands, I feel the knife being thrust into it again, and when I crouch down, I feel the bone being gently ground into my empty scalp.
How can I continue to endure this unnatural pain?
In the end, Hanshin’s guild members collapsed, foaming at the mouth, before the paralysis effect even wore off.
I fainted from the constant pain.
“… … .”
The road soon becomes silent.
I looked at my unconscious opponent and thought.
‘Did you get hurt?’
It was around that time that the forbidden words were repeated.
“There, there, there.”
Suddenly, someone’s soft voice is heard from next to me.
Huh?
The Neo Sisters’ new recruit finally let out the breath she had been holding for a long time.
I was unconsciously overwhelmed by the sight of Kiryeo pushing her opponent.
But now that the situation has somewhat come to an end, I couldn’t help but ask this question.
“What is this situation… … ?”
She and her boss, who had come to the scene of the incident, looked at Gi-ryeo with terrified faces.
And the man with the cold impression immediately opens his dry teeth and answers.
“It’s self-defense.”
The Neo Sisters guild members, who were the new witnesses, were momentarily nervous, wondering if that S-class was crazy.
But after hearing the whole story, the hunters soon said this.
“I deserved to get hit!”
“Wow, you swung your weapon at someone who was just sitting there? Ouch! Now that you mention it, Hunter. There’s blood on your neck!”
By the way, the possibility that Kiria lied was low.
This is a public institution that has been poured with a huge amount of national budget. As such, there are CCTVs all around.
‘Wow, you managed to keep the person unharmed even after going through such an annoying thing.’
Neo’s youngest son glanced at the fallen Jo Sang-oh.
And at this time, a female hunter who had been reporting to 119 opened her mouth.
She is a woman who is familiar with Kim Ki-ryeo. She is an A-class hunter who handles crossbows, and she had a brief exchange with him last year.
“Uh… … Mr. Kim Hunter. If you don’t mind, may I ask what that is in your hand?”
“yes?”
“I wonder why it doesn’t hurt to stab someone like that.”
The crossbow-wielding hunter awkwardly found a topic to talk about as he stood there blankly until the ambulance arrived.
Then, Gi-ryeo lifts the dagger she had caught in the reverse and explains.
The name of this thing is Screaming Stake, and the performance itself is said to be impossible to cause physical harm.
“Ah! That piece of trash dagger?”
The brown-haired crossbowman recognized the equipment only after hearing its name.
But at this moment, a small question suddenly arises.
It must be suitable for your skin.
Most monsters will go wild when provoked by pain, which actually increases the difficulty of the attack.
Even that item has the disadvantage of causing its owner to be affected if it touches the wrong part of the blade, so it is actually an item that is avoided.
“Oh, oh, there’s also a high-level hunter who uses something like a scream stake… … Right?”
A rather unusual choice for a hunter.
But this doubt was quickly resolved, because the new recruit next to him suddenly stepped forward after seeing the crossbowman tilting his head.
“Team Leader, of course you bought it for this kind of thing!”
“huh?”
“Look. Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo already has another primary weapon at his waist.”
In the place she pointed, there was a longsword called Hydra hanging.
“Honestly, if you’re an S-class, killing people isn’t a big deal. Isn’t the scream stake something you bought to use when you need to adjust your strength?”
“ah.”
“Besides, I heard it from senior Yoon Seung… … .”
The youngest guild member, who soon happily shows off his knowledge.
“I heard that S-class hunter hates skills. He says natural is the best. He uses a lot of tools in his daily life so that he can adapt when he goes back to being a normal person.”
Right?
Neo’s new recruit looked at Giryeo with bright eyes.
Of course, this is nonsense that is not at all true, but it is suitable to use as an excuse… … .
“Yes, that is all correct.”
He immediately took advantage of the rookie’s delusion.
Even though they just met each other for the first time, he lies without hesitation. You could really say that he gave his conscience to a dog.
“By the way, I thought you looked familiar. Since you refer to Seungyi as your senior, are you from the Neo Sisters?”
“yes yes.”
“The person over there went to the dungeon with me before, right?”
“Oh! You remember.”
If that’s the case, then the crisis has passed. From now on, all we have to do is take care of the aftermath.
A few minutes later, several ambulances arrived at the scene.
The incident has been resolved.
***
The next day.
“This crazy thing!”
The quiet interior of the building was turned upside down.
This is because the news that the guild’s ace, Jo Sang-oh, had engaged in an all-out battle with an S-class hunter reached the leader’s ears belatedly.
“Are you crazy? How on earth did you get yourself into this situation! Inma, you said you’d show off your A-class skills by making a bet on clearing a dungeon yesterday! No, why did you suddenly pick on that hunter outside?”
He looked at the guild member who was bowing his head as if he was feeling pitiful.
However, Jo Sang-oh still doesn’t seem to think he did anything wrong, and just keeps making excuses as if it was unfair.
“I did that because I thought I would win.”
“what?”
“I did it because I thought I would win if we fought on the spot! And I got angry. Do you know what that kid did to me? He just said he was an S-class and didn’t listen to anyone and just kept swearing. When I saw that, my head started to hurt… … .”
bang!
Hanshin’s representative, unable to listen to the story, slammed the table.
“Be quiet!”
Then, Jo Sang-oh closes his mouth with a discouraged look on his face.
“Oh my… … .”
Preemptive strike against an S-class in front of others?
If things were normal, the employee who caused this kind of accident would have been fired immediately and Kim Ki-ryeo would have been approached and begged.
He must have apologized, saying that such a rude hunter is no longer part of us, so please don’t hate the entire Hanshin.
But this time, I couldn’t resort to such a drastic measure. The man in his 30s in front of me was none other than my son.
‘Ugh, this rotten guy. I’ve been letting my guard down lately because I haven’t had any accidents… … .’
At least I’m glad I came back safely.
The arms are bent inward.
In the end, Hanshin’s representative couldn’t be cruel to his own bloodline.
“But, don’t worry. Not only did I get hit, I even got hit by an S-class.”
“what?”
“Really! You’re probably going to stay quiet anyway because you’re embarrassed about getting hit by an A-class… .”
But at that time.
Tiring. Someone’s notification sound set as the default voice rang.
“Oh, I forgot to put it on silent mode.”
Jo Sang-oh took out his cell phone and checked the messenger, and his expression quickly hardened as he scanned the screen.
[Hey, Jo Sang-kko. What are you doing now? Go check out the curtain bulletin board. You’ve become a total star. Kkoch]
[The kid who hasn’t been drinking for 3 years is so cute lol]
