Chapter 9: Suppression (2)
They didnt engage in leisurely conversation at the optimal timing.
Whoosh!
A skill manifested from Kim Mok-hyuns palm and shot towards Kang-hoo immediately.
Deep Purple Flame.
It was a level 1 basic skill of a dark magic hunter.
For Kang-hoo, it was equivalent to Leap.
Since the magic came from one staircase above on the railing, evasion to the rear or side was impossible.
Hmph!
Kang-hoo propelled his body forward, gripping the railing.
Bang!
Having entered the building, Kang-hoo narrowly avoided Kim Mok-hyuns first attack.
Kang-hoo was on the 4th floor.
Kim Mok-hyun was on the 5th floor.
A peculiar standoff ensued, each using the concrete walls as their ceiling and floor.
Who sent you here? Huh? What did they say, to kill me and take something? What did they tell you, kid!
Came for a pair of shoes.
Youre talking about Lee Ye-rin?
To me, shes just a client.
For Kang-hoo, Kim Mok-hyuns chatter wasnt too bothersome.
His head ached from consecutive uses of Leap.
That Lee Ye-rin! Shes sent many like you, blinded by money, to their deaths. Didnt she tell you?
Yeah. She said it might be her last request.
Phaha! You seem to have figured it out! Well, she is treated like the Grim Reaper by the mercenaries! Pffft!
Kang-hoo considered Kim Mok-hyun quite a talkative character.
Usually, in the original work, characters who blabbered first often met an early demise
He was determined to ensure Kim Mok-hyun met such a fate.
Kim Mok-hyuns words were not surprising.
Hunters fundamentally didnt trust each other much.
Even when Lee Ye-rin presented him with an enticing request, he assumed it had complicated issues underneath.
Unless she was a fool, she wouldnt just throw a request at him as a favor.
Now that he had confirmed Kim Mok-hyun was here, it was time to move to the next step.
Kim Mok-hyun.
What?
I want to offer you a decent choice.
Why are you wagging your tongue now?
Give up all the items you have, and Ill let you live.
What are you talking about, idiot? With my current item setup, I rival a level 100 mage. Are you stupid?
There was no need to go far to find a person fitting the expression speaking with a mouth full of rags.
Kang-hoo smirked slightly upon hearing Kim Mok-hyuns response.
The first and last negotiation had just broken down.
Do you hear this sound now?
What sound? Youve been talking nonsense for a while now. What is it?
Its the sound of your only bright future turning to dust.
Wham!
Right after finishing his words, Kang-hoo dashed up the stairs, the only path leading to the upper floors.
Kang-hoo had some prediction of Kim Mok-hyuns attack repertoire.
This was because Kim Mok-hyuns mentor and teacher, Jeon Jung-ho, had once been severely defeated by Jang Si-hwan in the original story.
Of course, the person who designed the battle scene was the original author, now Kang-hoo himself.
And the combat setup was exactly like that situation.
Tadadadat!
Kang-hoo quickly ascended and locked eyes with Kim Mok-hyun, who immediately used a skill granted by his constellation.
It was sight theft.
Before seeing Kim Mok-hyun, Kang-hoo had already figured out his strategy using the constellation information that had been floating around earlier.
Without slowing down, Kang-hoo responded by holding up his dagger to block his vision.
Kim Mok-hyun shouted.
Kang-hoo didnt respond.
Instead, he used the opportunity to deploy Illusion Technique from behind the pillar.
Five illusions appeared, and only one of them was sent out from behind the pillar.
At the same time.
Swoosh.
Targeting the front pillar, he used a lateral movement skill.
His body moved behind the pillar, entering a state of stealth naturally.
The deception of throwing an illusion as a real body and the perfect disguise by hiding himself.
After a brief pause, Kang-hoo sized up Kim Mok-hyun. As expected, Kim Mok-hyuns attention was on the illusion.
Bang!
With a sound that tore through the space, Kang-hoo, who had Leaped, closed the distance to Kim Mok-hyun in an instant.
Clearly, Kim Mok-hyun had become seasoned from handling several hunters.
Dang!
The first attack, propelled by the force of Leap, was narrowly blocked.
Kim Mok-hyun used the level 50 basic skill, Devils Wall, to fend it off.
The block was more instinctual than calculated.
Kang-hoo immediately followed with his next move.
He pressed his body halfway onto Kim Mok-hyun and swiftly thrust the dagger.
The attack was hopeful, filled with mana, and executed as a rapid triple strike.
Puuk! Puuk! Puuk!
Kwack! Ack! Kwack!
Kim Mok-hyun groaned as the dagger stabbed him in quick succession in the collarbone, inside the left armpit, and the side of the waist.
Kang-hoo knew Kim Mok-hyun wore a chest plate item beneath his clothes.
So, he targeted the less protected gaps instead of the well-armored areas.
His strategy was a resounding success.
Kim Mok-hyun began bleeding profusely from the three wounds, like a burst water balloon.
Ha.
Kim Mok-hyuns short exhalation contained all his emotions.
Panic, surprise, and the fear of death.
Sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was too strange.
Every skill Kang-hoo used was extremely effective, deserving of the term extreme.
The way he cleanly switched to stealth and the short time it took to leap toward him afterward was noteworthy.
Even a level 100 hunter wouldnt have all skills so finely honed.
Normally, general logic would apply, but Kang-hoo was the exception.
Sht, sht!
Unable to bear the humiliation, Kim Mok-hyun explosively unleashed his darkly tainted venom.
Diving into a deeper Aroused State, he began to pour all his skills toward Kang-hoo.
He used a skill that temporarily made the ground mucky to hinder mobility, Hand of the Fallen.
On top of that, he invoked the wide-range skill Infernal Descent, causing flames to rain down from above.
Kang-hoo moved behind the pillar again, using Leap twice in quick succession.
No, nows the time.
Kang-hoo bit his lip as a headache slowly crept up on him.
He took a brief respite behind the pillar, then immediately moved out.
Illusion Technique?
No.
It was a feint, making it seem like an illusion while he actually moved. The deception was layered.
Seeing Kang-hoo apparently emerge from the opposite side of the pillar, Kim Mok-hyun scoffed,
Idiot! You think Id fall for that again?
His gaze shifted to the other side.
As Kang-hoo advanced, using a dash instead of Leap, Kim Mok-hyun dismissed him even more, deeming him an illusion.
Had it been the real Kang-hoo, he wouldnt have approached so openly, giving away so much time.
Consequently, Kim Mok-hyun activated the defensive skill Devils Wall at the spot where he predicted the real Kang-hoo would appear.
