Episode 9 Subjugation (2)
We didn’t just have a leisurely conversation about the best timing.
Hurrruk!
A skill that appeared from Kim Mok-Hyeon’s palm flew straight in.
‘Jin Bora’s Flame.’
This is the level 1 basic skill of a black magic hunter.
In terms of strength, it is a leap forward.
Now, since it was a magic that came down vertically from one step of the railing, it was impossible to dodge from the back or the side.
“Huh!”
Kang-hoo leapt forward, his body holding onto the railing.
Pfft!
Kang-hu, who entered the building straight away, narrowly avoided Kim Mok-hyeon’s first attack.
The stairs that Kang-hoo entered were on the 4th floor.
The staircase where Kim Mok-hyun is is the 5th floor.
A strange contrast was created with concrete walls serving as the ceiling and floor.
“Who sent you here? Huh? He told me to kill you and bring you something? What did he say, you brat!”
“I came to find my shoes.”
“Is this what Yerin Lee said?”
“You are my client.”
As for Kang-hoo, Kim Mok-hyun’s small talk wasn’t bad.
That’s because I had a headache from using jumps in succession.
“Lee Ye-rin, that b*tch! You sent blind guys like you to kill many people for money? Why aren’t you telling me?”
“Oh. I heard it was going to be the last request.”
“Poohaha! Looks like you’ve been through a lot! Well, I guess the mercenaries are treating you like a grim reaper! Poohaha!”
“······.”
I thought that Kim Mok-hyun was a really talkative character.
Usually in the original work, guys who start out like this often die young······.
I wanted to make him submit to that fate too.
Kim Mok-hyun’s words are not new.
Anyway, hunters basically don’t trust each other very much.
Even when Lee Ye-rin made an interesting request, I naturally thought there would be a tricky issue underlying it.
Unless she’s stupid, she wouldn’t throw a favor at me like she’s doing me a favor.
Anyway, as expected, we have confirmed that Kim Mok-hyun is here, so it’s time to see what happens next.
“Kim Mok-hyun.”
“what?”
“I want to give you a good choice.”
“Why are you suddenly moving your tongue again?”
“I’ll let you live if you give me all the items you have.”
“What are you talking about, you idiot? Even with the item settings you’re wearing right now, you can beat a level 100 wizard. Are you an idiot?”
If you’re looking for a person who fits the expression “has a rag in his mouth”, you don’t have to look far.
Kang-hu’s mouth twitched after hearing Kim Mok-hyeon’s answer.
The first and last negotiations immediately broke down.
“Can you hear this sound now?”
“What are you talking about? Are you taking any medicine? You’ve been talking nonsense since earlier. Keep going?”
“It’s the sound of your only rosy future turning to dust.”
Pfft!
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran straight to the stairs. It was the only way to the upper floor.
Kang-hoo had predicted Kim Mok-hyun’s attack repertoire to some extent.
This is because in the original work, Jeon Jung-ho, who was Kim Mok-hyeon’s teacher and mentor, was treated badly by Jang Si-hwan.
Of course, the person who designed the battle scene was the original author, Kang-hoo.
And the current battle situation was exactly the same as that.
Tadadadot!
Kim Mok-hyeon met Kang-hoo’s gaze as he suddenly rose and immediately used the skill granted to him by the constellation.
It’s a sight stealer.
Before seeing Kim Mok-hyeon, Kang Hu had already figured out his own plan based on the constellation information that was floating around.
Kang-hoo responded by not slowing down, but by raising his dagger and blocking his eyes.
It was a classic, yet most difficult, method of avoiding being blindsided by covering one’s eyes with the side of the dagger.
“······What is it?”
Kim Mok-hyeon was embarrassed.
Theft of vision can occur even if you turn your body backwards, close your eyes in advance, or cover them.
It is only effective if you cover your eyes like a knife right before the effect of sight robbing hits.
Kim Mok-hyeon had never seen a hunter steal his vision so smoothly before.
This is something that can never happen unless you completely understand and see through the mechanics of the skill.
The surprise was short-lived.
Kang-hoo’s hand flinched slightly as if he were clenching a fist, then immediately stopped moving.
It was a short movement that even Kim Mok-hyeon, who has a keen eye, could not recognize as a preparatory movement for some skill.

at that time.
“Ugh!”
Kim Mok-hyeon’s body floated into the air and was dragged away by Kang-hu without any time to do anything.
What happened in a split second.
Kim Mok-hyeon was dragged away without knowing what had happened to him.
That’s because the kidnapping skill is the exclusive property of the Demon Race Ibria and is like a trademark skill.
It’s not a skill that only hunters can have. If they could have it, anyone would have tried to acquire it.
Kang-hoo, who had linked his horizontal movement skills after the kidnapping, was already positioned behind Kim Mok-hyeon at that point.
The clean connection made Kang-hoo completely disappear from Kim Mok-hyun’s sight.
Kang-hoo didn’t miss the opportunity and immediately thrust out his dagger.
There was a gap in the middle of the sword that was tucked into my waist, so I felt like I would miss the timing.
Phew!
“Kwaaah!”
The dagger stretched out with all its might pierced Kim Mok-hyeon’s right back.
But it’s an attack aimed at the left.
Kim Mok-hyeon instinctively twisted his body when he saw that Kang-hoo had disappeared from his sight.
Because of that, the final impact point changed to the right back.
Choaack!
Blood spurted out at Kang-hoo as he pulled out the dagger.
The opportunity to attack still lay with Kang-hoo. That’s why he went in a little deeper and tried to stab him in the back of the neck.
But Kim Mok-hyeon was not so easily persuaded, and responded immediately.
Cheeeeek!
‘Burning mana.’
Warlock skills.
An aggressive skill that burns all mana in the target range.
Papat.
Kang-hoo took a step back because he was afraid that his whole face would get burned if he ignored him and kept going.
‘Awakened.’
Kang-hoo frowned.
Kim Mok-hyun’s reactions and responses are much faster than I expected. The only reason is awakening.
‘Awakening’, which allows you to dramatically increase your attack tempo by using your own mana as collateral.
It doesn’t seem to have any effect on the constellations, so there must be an awakening effect among the items worn.
Dash! Dash! Dash!
Kim Mok-Hyeon, who had gained time, started to continuously pour out Jinbo-Ra flames toward Kang-Hu.
The leap was useful, but not enough to ignore the onslaught and jump.
Just because you can’t see it with your eyes doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist in space.
‘It looks like there’s definitely a reason to strip him of all his items.’
You have an item that is beyond your means. An awakening effect? Which hunter did you get it from by hitting him in the back of the head?
Tadadot!
I used my leap to get as far back as possible from the battlefield.
In a situation where Jinbo-ra’s flames were flying like bullets, there was no need to waste effort on evading.
Kang-hoo quickly moved to where the pillar that ran through the center of the building stood tall.
Kwakwakwang!
Then, all the Jinbo-ra fireworks that were flying towards Kang-hoo hit the concrete pillars and scattered.
Pieces flew in all directions, but the solid pillar did not budge.
“Stop being a bitch! How long are you going to hide there?”
Kim Mok-hyeon shouted.
Kang-hoo didn’t even respond.
Instead, he took advantage of the gap and performed a welcoming spell in the blind spot behind the pillar.
Five illusions were created, and only one of them was sent out of the pillar.
At the same time.
Sweep.
I used horizontal movement, targeting the pillar in front.
Then, the body moved behind the pillar and naturally entered a state of hiding.
A camouflage that completely hides one’s appearance through deception and concealment that casts a welcome light as if it were the main body.
Kang-hoo took a moment to catch his breath and looked at Kim Mok-hyun. As expected, Kim Mok-hyun’s gaze was turned towards Hwan-yeong.
Pfft!
Kang-hoo jumped with a loud noise that cut through space and quickly closed the distance to Kim Mok-hyun’s nose.
It is certainly because Kim Mok-Hyeon has grown stronger after dealing with many hunters.
Taang!
The first attack, which carried the momentum of the leap, was narrowly blocked.
Kim Mok-Hyeon blocked it using his level 50 basic skill, the Devil’s Wall.
Rather than saying that I blocked it knowingly, it was closer to feeling something approaching and instinctively blocking it.
Kang-hoo immediately pulled out the next number.
He quickly thrust the dagger into Kim Mok-hyeon after clinging to him as if he were half-riding him.
It was a predictable attack, infused with all of his mana. It was a lightning-quick triple strike.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
Kim Mok-hyeon groaned as he was stabbed in the collarbone, inside the left armpit, and side in an instant.
Kang-hoo knew that Kim Mok-hyun was wearing a breastplate-shaped item under his clothes.
So rather than targeting the hard areas covered by the breastplate, they targeted gaps where defense was weak.
The result was a great success.
Kim Mok-hyeon began to bleed profusely from three wounds that were as big as a burst water balloon.
“under.”
All the emotions were contained in Kim Mok-hyeon’s short exclamation.
Confusion and surprise. And fear of death.
A cold sweat ran down my face.
It’s so weird, it’s too weird.
The power of each skill that Kang-hoo used was so great that it could be described as extreme.
Not only was the hiding spot neatly taken, but the time it took for him to jump to himself from that position was also very short.
Even if you are a hunter of around level 100, not all skills can be effective.
Common sense should apply, but for some reason Kang-hoo was an exception.
“f*ck, f*ck······!”
Kim Mok-Hyeon, overcome with unbearable humiliation, explosively released the venom stained with darkness.
At the same time, he began to pour all his skills towards Kang-hoo while immersing himself in a deeper state of awakening.
The Hand of the Fallen is a skill that temporarily makes the ground muddy, reducing mobility.
Here, he also used the wide-area skill ‘Flame Fall’, which causes flames to pour down from the air.
Kang-hoo moved behind the pillar once again. It was quick as he used two jumps in succession.
‘No, not now.’
Kang-hoo bit his lip as a headache gradually rose.
Kang-hoo, who had been hiding behind a pillar for a moment, took a breath and came out.
Welcome drink?
No it wasn’t.
It was a route where the main body moved directly under the guise of a welcoming spell. It was a deception added to the previous deception.
Kim Mok-hyeon laughed as he honestly watched Kang-hu come out from the other side of the pillar.
“You idiot! Am I being fooled again?”
His gaze turned to the opposite direction.
As Kang-hoo, who had come out of the square, ran towards him instead of jumping, Kim Mok-hyun ignored Kang-hoo’s body even more.
If it was the main body, there is no way it would have been approached and given such an honest and long time.
So, I deployed the defensive skill ‘Devil’s Wall’ at the point where I expected the real Kang-hoo to come.
That moment.
