Chapter 23: Heo Jeong-Tae (1)
He had a bad hobby. I respect most tastes, but cross-dressing skills are a little off.
Where did you come from? How do you know my name and where I live?
What if I answer?
What do you mean, what if I answer? Kid, cant you hear what Im asking?
Forget it. Come at me. One of us has to collapse for this to end since you came here to feed me prison food.
As Kang-hoo flicked his finger, upping the ante, Heo Jeong-tae removed the long-haired wig he was wearing.
Then, a buzz cut, fitting the description of very short, was revealed.
On one side of his head was a patch, making him look unmistakably bald.
[Dark Priest]
[The seat of malign influence. Your combat ability increases by 25% against hunters who serve constellations of neutral or good inclinations.]
Ive unexpectedly given him a buff.
Kang-hoo smirked.
Dimension Plunderer might give off an evil vibe, but in reality, it has a neutral inclination.
In some ways, considering the fate shared with Shin Kang-hoo and the Savior, its closer to a good inclination.
Whether good or neutral, it is different from the evil-aligned Dark Priest, so Heo Jeong-tae gets the buff.
The original work didnt detail Heo Jeong-tae so intricately, providing only basic descriptions of his appearance and where he lived.
Considering the constellation hes associated with, it seems he was appropriately shaped as a villain.
Moreover, due to the power of this constellation, his abilities might have felt stronger than anticipated in the original work.
You can still leave and save your life. I dont mind not killing hunters.
You think Im any different?
Kang-hoo looked down at his right hand.
He had already ended the lives of many hunters with the dagger he clenched there.
Of course, they all deserved to die, and he felt no sympathy or compassion.
In a harsh world where one must kill to survive, this was the bleak reality created by the original work.
Alright. Then now youll experience what its like to die!
Swish!
The moment his words ended, Heo Jeong-tae pulled a finger-sized object from his sleeve and clenched it.
Once he infused it with mana, it quickly extended into the form of a long spear.
The Powerful Spear.
Its nature was easy to deduce.
It resembled something like the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Of course, it couldnt extend indefinitely without limitations, but it was convenient to carry when compressed.
Tap, tap!
Heo Jeong-tae then thrust the spear deeply, adopting a stance to restrict Kang-hoos movements.
He attacked diagonally from right to left, blocking a direct charge.
Clang!
Kang-hoo parried the thrust with his dagger, Changgongs Delight.
Although much shorter than the spear, it needed only a narrow area to deflect the attack.
He still held back his kidnapping skill.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
Against an opponent this vigilant, a single failure with the skill could make it difficult to find another opening.
He reserved it as a sort of trump card.
After all, the fight was destined to end with one decisive strike.
Swoosh, bang!
Heo Jeong-tae slammed the spear into the ground. The attack was deliberate, regardless of Kang-hoos position.
Whoosh!
The resulting shockwave skimmed the ground and swiftly enveloped Kang-hoo.
!
He was struck.
The shockwave wasnt merely a blunt force; it had an elastic property that tossed the victim upwards.
Suspended by the upward force, Kang-hoo found himself floating, and Heo Jeong-tae prepared his next move.
Kwang!
One things for certain. When he executes a powerful strike, he always slightly twists his waist to the left.
Kang-hoo discovered an important hint while he was concentrated on defending.
This action was a precursor to Heo Jeong-taes attack.
The waist twist.
It was too subtle to be labeled a habit and would barely be perceptible unless observed closely.
Of course, sometimes a habit is used to bait an opponent, but Kang-hoo doubted it was that sophisticated.
This was particularly true since he had displayed a counterattacking motion to probe the tactic.
If it were a habit shown just to bait, he would have reacted differently when he made that motion.
Then.
After completing his calculations, Kang-hoo began to rush at full speed.
He blatantly used the vision theft skill on Heo Jeong-tae.
Knowing it would be blocked, he had no expectation for the skill to hit.
Heo Jeong-tae, with lips firmly sealed, raised his long spear horizontally to block the vision theft skill.
Meanwhile, Kang-hoo got closer to Heo Jeong-tae.
Right then.
Now.
He noticed Heo Jeong-tae slightly twisting his waist to the lefta preparatory action before launching a powerful attack.
It was a sign that he would switch from defense to offense.
A glimpse of an imminent switch between offense and defense!
Kang-hoo charged straight ahead.
With his dagger pointed forward, he made an obvious attempt to target Heo Jeong-taes abdomen.
Had he charged recklessly, he would have been hit by a counterattack and fallen, but he had a plan after spotting the preparatory action.
It was
Wham!
A leap into the air.
Ah?
Heo Jeong-taes plan to counterattack after a stylish dodge failed.
As the long spear stretched forward, Kang-hoo was already soaring over Heo Jeong-taes head.
He was caught completely off guard.
Heo Jeong-taes shoulders were stabbed in several places.
A series of thuds echoed as a burning pain spread from his shoulders throughout his body.
The dagger had stabbed the shoulders three times, quite deeply.
Still not enough.
It was a bit early to use Blood Flower, and the wounds were insufficient. Kang-hoo decided to look for one more opening.
If his intention had been to kill Heo Jeong-tae, he would have stabbed the top of his head just now, ending the situation.
But since the objective from the start was capture alive, it was crucial to neutralize his combat ability.
Kang-hoo charged again.
To Heo Jeong-tae, now the defender, the attack method seemed absurdly familiar.
First, a sight plunder was thrown, followed by a feint aimed at Heo Jeong-taes abdomen as he attempted to block it.
He faced a dilemma of choices.
Kang-hoo realized it then.
Heo Jeong-tae was merely a novice.
For the defender, being forced into a dilemma of choices was always a disadvantage.
Damn it
The powder Heo Jeong-tae had liberally applied between his furrowed brows mixed with sweat and trickled down.
He guarded his stomach.
His calculation was based on the belief that no one would repeat the same, obvious trick.
Yet, that very trick was executed once again. Kang-hoos body soared through the air once more.
Puk-puk-puk!
