Episode 219: The Brood Queen (2)
Ganghu rotated in a semicircle with the dagger stuck in the side of the Brood Queen.
There was no need to move away from the pack queen. All I had to do was turn around with my back facing her.
yet.
Phew!
Using the dagger in his left hand, he struck a decapitating blow on the other side of the pack queen.
I feel the pressure of my physical strength being almost cut in half in an instant.
The decapitation requirement is high as it consumes 25% of stamina and magic power at once.
This time too, the dagger was stuck properly, so it was not easy to remove it.
It must be a power beyond imagination created by the determination and single-minded desire to capture the queen of the pack at all costs.
Although he used the main dagger, Corrupted Faith, and the auxiliary dagger, Hyeolru, Kang Hu still had the edge of massacre and the joy of the sky.
Both are spare daggers and are grade 4 or 5 items.
As the weapon level increased, there was no need to use it as a main weapon, but I always kept it in reserve.
Kang Hu, who wielded the border of massacre as his main dagger and the joy of the sky as his secondary dagger, immediately continued his next attack.
All you have to do is kill the pack queen and retrieve the dagger used earlier. I didn’t care.
“It’s not over yet!”
Kang-hu stabbed daggers in both sides in succession and turned again to face the queen of the group.
He accelerated his body forward again and, with all his might, struck a third decapitation blow into his chest.
Fuuuuuk!
“…!”
The queen of the group seemed to have missed the moment to moan, and just glared at Ganghu with wide eyes.
I felt as if my body had been so strained by the three blows that I was suffocating.
yet.
The medicinal effect of Gakshinhwan remained.
Even while receiving fatal blows in as many as three places, the queen of the group turned her arm and tried to blow off Ganghu’s head.
It was threatening because it came in right in front, crossing like a pair of scissors, but it was avoided thanks to Gakshinhwan’s computational power.
It was a close call, but I succeeded in dodging it without getting hit.
“Ugh.”
【Frantic Healing】
Ganghu felt the pressure of his lost stamina and took a slight step back to recover his stamina.
Perhaps because I consumed nearly 70% of my stamina and magical power in an instant, the overload on my body was enormous.
This was a heavy burden felt on the body itself, separate from the fact that I had taken the Mad Solarchium Gakshin Pill.
In the first place, all of Kanghu’s skills are in the form of pushing Kanghu to the limit and overpowering him.
Mad Solar Kium and Gakshinhwan are structured to further whip the overheated body.
It’s true that he will become stronger as a hunter, but his lifespan as a human is… I’m shaking my head.
I am sure that if I continue to endure this kind of abuse, it will be difficult for me to live up to my destiny.
Anyway, while the pack queen was staggering, Ganghu, who had recovered some of his stamina, was able to catch his breath again.
Despite three massive decapitation attacks, the brood queen has not yet died.
Ta-ta-tat!
Holding the last dagger, Sky Joy, he ran towards the pack queen.
Her arm tried to come up again, but she was much slower than before, so she was slow to react.
Meanwhile, Kang-hu stepped on her half-bent knees as a stepping stone and climbed high into the sky.
And this time, while grasping the joy of the sky with both hands, he plunged the dagger into the center of his head.
【Great beheading】
The fourth great beheading.
I was in a semi-exhausted state where my starting health, which was maxed out, had now dropped to 10%, but I didn’t care.
“Gwak…”
A deathly scream burst out from the pack queen.
The sight of a dagger stuck in the middle of the head on both sides of the chest was extremely grotesque.
What’s even more surprising is that despite this, the queen’s life has not ended.
【Blood Flower】
So, Ganghu activated Blood Flower without any regrets.
Then, red flowers bloomed in all directions, and the dagger that was stuck was thrown out by the pressure of the explosion.
[Soul Imprint – Retrieval]
Retrieve the dagger using the skill.
The four daggers in Ganghu’s hands were all stained with red blood instead of their original color.
“Cough.”
The world changed as soon as the effect of Gakshinhwan wore off.
The once bright sky soon regained its original dullness, and time, which had slowed down, sped up again.
Do you feel like the wings that lightened your body have disappeared? But it wasn’t strange because the feeling was back to normal.
It was a pity.
I think I can understand why hunters keep using narcotic stimulants.
Once you taste something that goes beyond your limits, your original self feels insignificant and insignificant.
“Geugeuggeuk….”
The pack queen stumbles.
Kang-hu once again felt the strong vitality that did not die even though blood was pouring out all over his body.
As you increase the difficulty in the future, the level of boss monsters you will face will also become similar.
Furthermore, even high-level hunters who challenge their limits as non-human hunters will also have this power.
I didn’t want to rush back to the pack queen with my low stamina. There may be unnecessary variables.
so.
【Thorn Hell】
I used thorn hell on the queen of the group, who was just clinging to life and could not move.
Since the ground was a mixture of large and small stones, the soil quality was favorable for using the thorn hell.
I slightly positioned myself to the side of the pack queen and immediately activated Thorn Hell.
Lots of cards! Kaduk!
The two thorns struck the swarm queen’s body twice, narrowly spaced apart.
That was the end.
The pack queen, who was tattered like a paper doll, died after going through thorn hell.
With her death, the level rose significantly. 234.
Looking at the experience points, it was a pretty good deal, but I didn’t want to hunt her alone again.
To hunt easily, you definitely need a buffer like Park Dong-jae, not a solo player. It is an essential component.
“Whew. Phew.”
Kanghu was finally able to catch his breath and catch his breath.
Although my body is very heavy, I must achieve my goal. Immediate heart extraction. The last task remains.
* * *
“what?”
– It looks like the pack queen’s corpse could have a use. If I leave it as is, it will start to rot. Can you help me fix it?
“So you captured the pack queen and its location is near Yuri Land?”
– Yes, it’s close. He’ll be there in about 15 minutes.
K, who received a call from Kang-hu and was enjoying tea time leisurely, stood up in surprise.
First of all, I was surprised that it was near Yuri Land, and I was also surprised that I ‘caught’ the swarm queen.
“Get ready right away. No, I’ll send Yuri first. “But how did you catch it?”
– Aren’t the results important?
“That’s true too… It’s true that even Hyeongseo and Bohye are difficult to deal with against the queen of the group.”
K stuck out his tongue.
The strength level of the brood queen is high, and hybrids usually move together to deal with the brood queen.
Since there are more than one or two things that are troublesome and tricky in one way or another, the queen of the pack is usually left untouched.
But he caught it.
However, the location was very strange.
There are no brood queens living near Yuri Land. Since there are no hybrids, it can be easily inferred.
– I’ll wait.
“Uh, okay. “Wait for now.”
K quickly started getting dressed. It’s a shame that I only drank one sip of tea, but there is a corpse over there that is much more expensive than the price of the tea.
* * *
Jeong Yu-ri, who arrived at the scene first under K’s instructions, looked at the body of the pack queen with a bewildered expression.
The undisputed appearance of the pack queen. The traces of the dagger left deep in the body are clearly visible.
“Did you catch him?”
“uh.”
“But hasn’t it been a while since you left the villa? “Have you been around here the whole time?”
“It’s long.”
Kang Hu remained silent.
That’s because I didn’t want to tell you about the ability to teleport.
Rather than saying I don’t trust her, I just don’t want to brag about it.
Even if you don’t say anything, it won’t be difficult to guess what happened by looking at the situation.
There is no explanation for the fact that both Ganghu and the pack queen were not where they should have been, other than that they ‘moved’.
“Wow… you really don’t believe this? “My brother’s pack queen couldn’t even catch Hyungseo and Bohye.”
“I already heard it.”
“Oh, to grandpa? “It’s not that I ignore my brother, it’s that he’s such a difficult monster.”
“Let’s just look at the results.”
Kang Hu laughed awkwardly.
Actually, it is not wrong.
Isn’t the result more important than how it was captured? Dead and alive. There can only be one of two outcomes.
Even if you fight well, if the enemy survives, you fail. Even if you fight poorly, if the enemy dies, you succeed.
“I’ll freeze it for now.”
Yuri Jeong began to blow chills onto the corpse of the pack queen lying on the floor.
There seemed to be a lot of scars on the left side of my chest, but I didn’t really pay any attention to it. There must be something like that.
Kang Hu nodded when he saw that Jeong Yu-ri had skills related to freezing that she did not have.
Growth isn’t just about yourself. Jeong Yu-ri also seemed to be growing by unleashing her potential.
after.
Kang Hu and Jeong Yu-ri exchanged many stories while waiting for K.
Jeong Yu-ri was curious about what Kang-hu experienced in Japan, and Kang-hu was curious about Jeong Yu-ri’s actions so far.
As we talked to each other, time passed quickly. however.
‘Are there no repercussions?’
Kanghu, who was preparing to take a break as Mad Solarchium’s duration ended, tilted his head.
This battle against the Queen of the Brood, taking the Mad Solarchium and the Gakshin Pill, was a fierce and fierce battle.
In other words, it was a battle in which it was no wonder that one became exhausted at the end of the duration. I burned all my strength to that extent.
However, even though the duration was over, my body felt light. There was no dizzying feeling of exhaustion.
There was just some physical fatigue. This is just the body’s own fatigue caused by battle.
‘no way?’
If you take the Mad Solar Kium and the Gakshin Pill, will you be able to control the aftermath?
When I first took Gakshinhwan, I thought the synergy with Mad Solarchium was better than I thought.
This is because the response of the brain and senses was maximized more than expected. I thought it was different from the typical case.
But I didn’t know that the problem would be solved after taking it.
I’ll have to verify it one more time, but looking at the current situation, there was no setback since we ate together.
Of course, Gaksinhwan is very rare and cannot be used often. But I found an unexpected combination.
Since there were 9 Gakshinhwan left, it seemed like I would be able to deal with the aftermath like this at least 9 more times.
After some time, K arrives.
Ganghu’s schedule in North Korea came to an end with the queen’s body being loaded into a storage vehicle.
Although it is unfortunate that the number of Mad Solarchiums is 14, the desired goal was achieved because the heart was saved.
After discussing with K how to sell the pack queen’s body upon her return.
I was planning on unsealing the random skill book right away.
Because a lottery ticket with a 100% probability that you haven’t scratched yet was waiting for you. My heart was pounding.
