Episode 41 Condemnation (1)
Jo Gu-bin was constantly putting on and taking off several items while giggling.
It was clear that he was feeling a certain joy as he checked the changing stats every time.
“Who says Ground Zero is a land of death? It’s a land of opportunity and treasure.”
Jo Gu-bin’s shoulders shook.
This is practically North Korean territory.
That’s why even though police officers from the police station came out to search, they didn’t pay attention until this point.
So, Jo Gu-bin killed the hunter who lived here.
“You’ve set up shop in a place that’s perfect for living. Great. I won’t have to worry for a while. Hehe.”
Jo Gu-bin kept muttering and began to bury the owner’s body that was lying on the floor.
I don’t know about anything else, but it seems they wanted to erase the traces, so they dug the hole quite deep.
Passat! Passat!
At that very moment, when we were working so hard and sweating bullets to bury the body,
“huh?”
Jo Gu-bin felt it.
An unidentified cold air was circling nearby.
At the same time, instinct sent a warning to Jo Gu-bin.
“… … Hey, F**k!”
He instinctively threw his body to the left.
It wasn’t because I saw something, but because I felt someone was there.
That moment.
Shhhhhhh!
“Ugh!”
There was a dagger that cut long across the back of my thigh, unable to follow my body.
It was Kang-hoo’s dagger.
It was fortunate that he had thrown himself straight at me, otherwise it would have gone through the back of his waist instead of his thigh.
“f*ck!”
Cho Gu-bin swore.
Then he pressed a button to activate one of the defensive facilities that the previous owner had installed.
Wheeing.
Dozens of water buckets hanging in the air flipped over with a mechanical sound, immediately spilling out the liquid they contained.
It was a thick black liquid that felt like paint, and it was threatening just to look at.
It seemed like an arrangement designed to cause visual disturbance and movement difficulties to intruders.
“Die, you little shit!”
As Jo Gu-bin raised his hands high into the sky, the pouring liquid instantly froze and turned into sharp thorns.
【Ice Witch】
【She is a constellation that grew from the primordial glacier, granting ice properties and enhancing ice abilities.】
【Crazy Murderer】
【He serially murdered twenty people, and for some unknown reason, he became a constellation and is causing chaos in the constellation world.】
【If the number of people you have killed exceeds twenty, at some point the constellation will grant you additional abilities. It is continuous and permanent.】
‘There’s a trash constellation attached to it.’
Kang-hoo checked the list of constellations that Jo Gu-bin had contracted with and smiled bitterly.
They give you extra abilities for the number of people you kill. Isn’t this basically encouraging murder?
Anyway, I have a clear understanding of Jo Gu-bin’s abilities.
He is a hunter who can freely utilize freezing abilities.
It can also be used as a natural weapon by freezing surrounding water vapor or freezing pouring liquid.
Swoosh.
Ice that had turned into sharp thorns was rotating around Jo Gu-bin’s body.
It’s a kind of defense mechanism.
In that state, there was a possibility that using kidnapping incorrectly could lead to danger.
First, Kang-hoo noticed Jo Gu-bin’s left thigh, which had a fairly deep wound.
Unless there is a way to dramatically improve the condition, the injury will continue to cause discomfort in movement.
The battle is a fight of persistence.
So I definitely intended to target that weak point.
Since the goal is not to save the guy, but to kill him, there is no need to be picky about the means and methods.
“… … .”
Kang-hoo carefully observed the ice thorns rotating around Jo Gu-bin.
It looks like he’s trying to make it look irregular by flicking off a few ice spikes.
If you look closely, the ice thorns were each protecting Jo Gu-bin at a set speed.
Each has its own unique speed value.
Kang-hoo quickly noticed the difference.
And in order to use the skill, he proceeded to kidnap Jo Gu-bin, who was entering the next movement.
“Oh my! Huh.”
Jo Gu-bin laughed as if it was funny when his body was lifted up and dragged away by Kang-hoo.
Although I was surprised by the unexpected attack method, I was confident that I wouldn’t be affected by this repertoire.
Even if he were to be dragged away like this, Kang-hoo would be hurt by the ice thorns just as much as he was.

but.
“……uh?”
Just when I thought the ice thorns would naturally attack Kang-hoo.
Knock knock.
Kang-hoo crawled forward and dug into the gap.
Phew!
He stabbed the dagger into Cho Gu-bin’s front thigh too easily.
It wasn’t a simple basic attack.
I used the beheading skill.
It contained Kang-hoo’s determination to inflict a fatal wound even if it meant pouring in 25% of his physical strength and magic power.
“Ugh!”
Ppaang!
At the same time, the shadow that had bounced off Kang-hoo’s back like a water fountain soon found itself at a safe distance.
Soon, Kang-hoo’s figure right in front of me suddenly became blurry and then appeared, swapping positions with the shadow.
“Ugh!”
Jo Gu-bin clutched his left thigh and writhed in pain.
I felt a burning pain where the dagger went in and out.
It felt as if a fire was being lit inside the wound and a soldering iron was being used to heat it.
The pain was growing.
“Ugh. Ugh.”
It doesn’t take much strength.
It feels as if my muscles and nerves have completely severed.
Jo Gu-bin tried to maintain his defensive capabilities and use his skills on Kang-hoo.
A mind consumed by pain simply could not provide the foundation for concentration.
Cho Gu-bin said.
“f*ck, you, you, what are you? What is it?”
“What the heck? He’s the guy who came to get you.”
“This is my first time seeing you… … ?”
“I’m seeing this for the first time and I don’t know what to do.”
Kang-hoo looked at Jo Gu-bin with a pitiful expression.
The downside of being a Magic Hunter is that you are vulnerable to pain.
Unlike melee hunters, concentration is essential when using magic skills.
This is when the pain occurs simultaneously or when you fall into a deep pain that you cannot ignore.
Your accuracy will drop sharply due to mental concentration interruption, or you will be completely unprepared.
It wasn’t an attempt to be leisurely that he paused his attack and responded to Jo Gu-bin’s words.
It was to inflict the most fatal wound on the guy when Jo Gu-bin tried to counterattack.
It’s timing on purpose.
“I asked you why you were trying to kill me, you little brat!”
“That doesn’t sound like something you should hear from a guy who was just digging a hole to bury a corpse.”
“Did you receive a request?”
“Don’t worry about wasting time, just jump in. Let’s see what you can do.”
Jo Gu-bin clasped his hands together, perhaps feeling angry at Kang-hoo’s words.
Then, the surrounding air began to gather in a spiral shape, and in an instant, a sharp ice spear was created.
Needless to say, the tip was sharp, and it seemed to have high penetrative power as it contained mana itself.
but.
widely!
As soon as Kang-hoo snapped his fingers as if he had been waiting, the blood fire was activated and gave Jo Gu-bin hell.
Phew!
“Eww!”
The ice spear that Jo Gu-bin was trying to create with a scream disappeared without a trace.
It’s broken.
That’s actually the second problem.
The biggest problem was that Cho Gu-bin’s perspective on the world was starting to tilt sideways.
This is because the lower left thigh, where a lot of damage had accumulated, was severed due to the explosion of blood.
It was a cut.
When his left leg, which had been somehow supporting him, disappeared, Jo Gu-bin’s body tilted to the side.
“This is ridiculous… … .”
Jo Gu-bin made a dumbfounded expression.
The opponent is an assassin hunter wielding a dagger.
Unless you are blind, this is a trait you can clearly see.
There is such a thing as common sense.
Magic hunters use long-range control magic, while assassin hunters use close-range attack skills.
There may be some slight variations here and there, but the overall framework does not change much.
For example, it is rare for an assassin to use magic, or for a wizard to perform a melee assassination.
However, Kang-hoo used ‘magic’ to cause an explosion on his left leg even from a distance away.
Before Cho Gu-bin could recall this absurd situation and realize its meaning.
Kuung!
“Ugh!”
My body, tilted and losing its balance, rolled on the floor.
Needless to say, my face was slammed into the damp, cold floor covered with fallen leaves.
Ta-tat!
Phew!
Kang-hoo, who had closed the distance with a leap, took out the Sky’s Joy from his arms and struck the back of Jo Gu-bin’s hand, who was lying face down.
Because the dirt was moderately hard, the dagger went in easily enough to penetrate for a long time.
“Kuaaaah!”
Cho Gu-bin screamed.
Kang-hoo didn’t stop there, and stuck the extra practice dagger he had into the back of his other hand.
Jo Gu-bin, who suddenly had both hands pinned to the ground, was lying face down, unable to move, struggling.
Kwuk!
“Ugh!”
As if that wasn’t enough, Kang-hoo stood up and pressed his thick-heeled shoe against his cheek.
It was a very ugly sight.
“What crime did a child commit that you kidnap and kill him? Well, it would be a luxury to ask a guy like you why.”
“Keep kkeul! It’s a sin to have a rich father! Isn’t that right? If you have that much money, you should at least take good care of your daughter. Heh heh heh!”
Kang-hoo nodded his head at Jo Gu-bin’s answer, which said that logic had gone to the other world.
The word ‘human’ in the word ‘human waste’ is such a waste that it feels luxurious.
Cho Gu-bin continued speaking, chuckling, perhaps because he felt that what he had just said was not enough to convey his message.
“Children, you know! They have a naive innocence that makes deception ten times more enjoyable… … Uwaaaaaa!”
Before Jo Gu-bin could finish speaking, Kang-hoo’s dagger swung.
Inside the armpits, behind the elbows, all over the wrists, inside the groin, hamstrings, and even the Achilles tendon.
It was an area where movement was difficult even with a small injury. At the same time, it was also the most painful area.
In a situation where I was hesitating whether or not to listen to kind words, I had no intention of seriously listening to Jo Gu-bin’s nonsense.
“Ugh! Ahh! Please! Aaah! It hurts so much… … !”
Jo Gu-bin writhe in pain.
You know so well when you’re in pain, but why don’t you know when other people’s hearts hurt?
That’s why he became a criminal.
Kang-hoo didn’t try to understand Jo Gu-bin.
Cho Gu-bin, completely overwhelmed by pain, couldn’t even think about using magic.
The situation has already been resolved.
All that remains is to complete the request.
Kang-hoo took out his smartphone and called the number he had received from Lee Ye-rin.
It was a phone call from a father who lost his daughter to Jo Gu-bin.
Before the beep even rings once.
– Yes, I got the call.
The voice of a man who tried to speak calmly but couldn’t hide his trembling emotions was heard.
Kang-hoo didn’t show himself.
Instead, it contained Jo Gu-bin struggling on the floor.
And he said it calmly.
“Father, I will now begin my daughter’s revenge.”
Because the purpose of the words was clear, it was bound to be even more creepy for the listener.
