Episode 13 Club Hades (2)
If it had been Blue Moon’s karma, this unfortunate incident would not have happened.
But Eclipse, with its acquisition, turned its own business into a giant human trafficking ring.
You probably did a lot of research beforehand.
That the hunters who visit here make quite a bit of ‘money’.
“Whoa!”
Meanwhile, a hunter rushes in from behind Kang-hoo. The Eclipse seal can be seen on his sleeve.
The sight of someone just rushing in with an axe didn’t seem like someone with any skills.
WHEEW! PHOOK!
“Ugh!”
The situation ended immediately.
Kang-hoo, who had disappeared from the Hunter’s front by moving sideways, appeared behind him and stabbed him in the back of the neck with a dagger.
“When I look at you guys, I get this feeling. Are the guys above intentionally reducing the number of subordinates to gain more profit?”
Kang-hoo kicked the hunter’s body, which was out of breath, before he could even raise a hand.
The hunter who had already crossed the Jordan River fell forward like a straw.
I felt it again.
How full of danger is the world we live in.
There is no time to even have a glass of cocktail.
In the meantime.
Yoon Sang-mi, who had confirmed Kang-hoo’s location, grabbed her greatsword and followed him from the side.
Rather than being embarrassed, he had an expression that said he was having fun and regretting it.
“I think the alcohol you drink in Seoul is the most delicious.”
“I agree with what you said.”
Kang-hoo nodded.
The alcohol you drink while risking your life is not alcohol, it is just poison.
I realized that this club with so many hunters was not a safe place, but rather a huge fishing ground.
“Let’s go out.”
“I think it would be better to go through the emergency exit.”
“I agree. The main route will be blocked three or four times anyway.”
“huh.”
“Maybe they would have just arrested him, handcuffed him, and had a car waiting to take him to the camp.”
Right then.
An announcement was made inside the club.
– Dear Customers, It seems that an insider has been planted in the Black Lion Club to cause chaos.
– At Eclipse, our goal is to quickly suppress internal conflict and return to normal······.
“You’re being a jerk!”
Snap!
A chair thrown by one of the Hunters hit the large speaker, instantly rendering it useless.
Who would believe that Eclipse Hunters are taking out other Hunters right before their eyes?
“Take care of the back.”
“What about Seon-gyu?”
“It’s difficult to use a broadsword due to the narrow staircase route structure. It’s better for me to take the lead.”
“Okay! Are we forming a mixed team?”
“Think of it as a short-term business.”
Right then.
bang!
I heard the door on the second basement floor emergency exit opening.
Before anyone could see who it was, Kang-hoo slashed the dagger he was holding first.
Retrieving the dagger was not a burden as it could be done within 5 meters thanks to the Mollis Maniche gloves.
puck!
“100 million······!”
The door opened exactly at the moment when the opponent stuck his head out, and a flying dagger pierced his abdomen.
When I turned my gaze to my arm, I could clearly see the sleeve with the Eclipse seal drawn on it.
Yoon Sang-mi, who was watching the situation from behind, asked.
“Did you throw it on purpose?”
“no.”
“······.”
If you think about it, the only hunters who would suddenly come out here at this time were the Eclipse guys.
Kang-hoo reached out his hand.
“Ugh!”
The dagger embedded in his abdomen naturally fit into his hand.
“Wow, telekinesis? This is the first time I’ve seen an assassin class with such an ability.”
Yoon Sang-mi tilted her head.
This type of telekinesis skill is usually used by magician hunters. It is not common in the assassination type.
In the meantime.
“Down there!”

Two Eclipse hunters opened the emergency exit door on the first basement floor and came out, pointing at Kang-hoo.
At that point, Kang-hoo had already used kidnapping on a guy who had come into his sight.
There was a railing blocking the way in the middle, but I didn’t mind. In fact, it was a good obstacle.
As expected.
“Eww!”
The head of the hunter who was instantly pulled straight out by the kidnapping skill.
Snap!
He hit the railing and fell backwards. Judging by the sound of bones crunching, it was at least a cervical fracture.
“Eww!”
The decision of the colleague who entered together was faster than light. He immediately turned around and went back through the door he had come from.
“This smells like irregularity······.”
Yoon Sang-mi’s expression hardened as she watched the entire process. This was because she was using a skill that an assassin would not be able to easily use.
Even if the telekinesis that recovers the dagger is often added to the item options, that’s okay.
Kidnapping a hunter without giving them a chance to resist was not a skill that hunters could use in the first place.
It was a kind of exclusive item that could only be used by certain monsters in the dungeon, and only monsters of the demon tribe.
“What about the back?”
“Clean. There’s nothing. I guess you haven’t thought of it this far.”
“It must be because there’s a lot of prey inside the club. Let’s get out quickly.”
Kang-hoo picked up speed.
After that, a few hunters poked their heads out to take up positions at the emergency exit.
Each time, I appropriately subdued them by utilizing leaps, kidnapping, horizontal movement, and sight-stealing.
Yoon Sang-mi, who unintentionally closed down her store behind Kang-hoo, was able to fully observe his skills.
And then it hit me.
He is a seasoned mercenary with extensive experience on the battlefield.
He was an extraordinary man who also possessed many special skills. It was not a guess, it was a certainty.
【I am impressed by your actions, in which the constellation ‘Apostle of Justice’ personally practices the punishment of evil and the promotion of good.】
【I will use a small amount of Holy Power to support you with a small buff.】
【Experience Increase +0.1%】
‘Not really.’
Kang-hoo’s mouth turned into a sneer.
His thoughts were read first by the Dimensional Raider.
【When I cleaned up the trash that was hanging around, I realized that it was just bad trash. That fool can’t see through you.】
Is there such a thing as rewarding good and punishing evil?
There is no such thing as absolute good or absolute evil in this world.
The ones who disrupt that balance and ultimately upset it are the thirteen stars.
The saviors that the world believed to be heroes all turned out to be servants of the Demon King who betrayed humanity.
In this world, it is meaningless to distinguish between good and evil.
That’s why we usually create criteria to think comfortably.
That is, the powerful are good. That is why in today’s world, the dead are evil.
* * *
A long way from the scene.
Click. Chiiik.
The two of them, who had shared two cans of beer they bought at a convenience store, were finally able to quench their dry throats.
“What is that?”
“The last one to run away. He swung a dagger and got his finger cut off, so he got it unexpectedly.”
What Yoon Sang-mi was pointing to was a ring dripping with blood. It was on Kang-hoo’s little finger.
On the floor, a finger that belongs to another owner, not Kang-hoo, is left abandoned like a half-eaten sausage.
“I had a great time today. Looking at it, I honestly think there must be a reason why you would travel alone as a mercenary.”
Yoon Sang-mi gave Kang-hoo a thumbs up.
It may be because of the class characteristics, but the hunters who faced Kang-hoo were all destroyed from the beginning.
The person who most realistically embodied the phrase “the player wins” was Kang-hu.
“What level are you? From what I saw earlier, I think you’re at least over 100. Do you have a constellation?”
Kang-hoo remained silent.
In times like this, it’s better to let people use their imagination rather than giving them specifics.
If that’s not the case, there’s no need to correct the information. A good illusion is one that is left unattended.
“I feel like I should just sleep.”
A hint of hypersensitivity can be felt on the throbbing forehead.
The Solarkium Burst that I couldn’t drink due to the appearance of the Eclipse guys was stepped on.
I spent hundreds of thousands of won on a single glass, but in the end, it became trash before I could even take a sip.
“Would you like to have a drink in the room with me?”
“No. I have an appointment to meet Yerin Lee at 9 in the morning. If you want to meet, come to Daejeon Station by 8:30.”
“Where are you going now?”
“Let’s find a place to get some sleep. It would be better if we don’t know where each other is, so let’s each get some rest.”
Kang-hoo turned his body and walked away from her, waving his right hand dryly.
When I met Lee Ye-rin in the morning, I planned to sell all the items I had been putting off and make some cash.
And some of it seemed like it would have to be used to buy solarium.
That dawn.
Kang-hoo took a cold shower to cool down his body, which had been strained from the battle at Club Hades.
Thanks to staying at a fairly expensive motel, the water flow was good, and best of all, the bathtub was big, which was nice.
Anyway, in order to reduce the excessive dependence on Solarkyum, we deliberately tried to find other means.
“f*ck······.”
Perhaps because I had been using too much magical power towards the end of the battle, my body started to malfunction.
Kang-hoo ran to the bathroom in one go, turned on the shower, and plunged his forehead into it.
Since I wasn’t wearing anything to begin with, there was nothing to worry about.
“Ugh. This is going to continue to be a problem.”
The frown didn’t seem to go away anytime soon.
Although it is a weakness that is traded for excellent talent, the problem is that this weakness is highly susceptible to exploitation.
【After Jang Si-hwan discovered the secret contained in Shin Gang-hu’s body with his keen observation skills.
He never tried to make a quick decision in his battle with Shin Kang-hoo. Time was ‘unconditionally’ on his side.
As the original story flashed before his eyes, Kang-hoo roughly sprayed water and turned away.
“I clearly had a plan······.”
There seems to be a breakthrough for this damn disease that has developed in my subconscious, but I can’t remember.
Just as with Yoon Sang-mi’s whirlwind swordsmanship constellation, there is clearly a solution to congenital mana hypersensitivity.
When I was trying to create a crisis for Jang Si-hwan, there was a treatment method that I had in mind to use.
“I can’t help it.”
Kang-hoo thought of the two branches of solarium that he had stored in the refrigerator.
It felt like the water of life was disappearing and would soon run dry. It was like that now, when there were only two streams left.
* * *
The next morning.
Kang-hoo and Yoon Sang-mi met Lee Ye-rin.
Yoon Sang-mi finished making preparations to talk with Lee Ye-rin in a separate waiting room.
Kang-hoo was now ready to settle accounts with her. He was looking forward to the reward he would receive.
“I didn’t think it would be this easy to find Bartaros’ shoes. Thank you, Seon-gyu.”
A smile appeared on Lee Ye-rin’s lips as she received the commissioned item back.
Because these shoes had meaning to her, she felt even more emotional.
“I got it without any damage.”
“To be honest, I did think about running away with it. I also thought that if I took it, it wouldn’t matter.”
“I don’t have a bad habit of worrying about the back of my head 24 hours a day. I also want more work.”
Kang-hoo shook his head.
It’s easy to say it’s a hit and run, but from that moment on, you’ll be in the same situation as Kim Mok-hyun… It’s useless.
