Episode 41 Condemnation (1)
Jo Gu-bin was repeatedly giggling and repeatedly putting on and taking off several items.
It was clear that he was feeling some kind of joy while checking the stats that changed every time.
“Who says Ground Zero is the land of the dead? “It’s a land of opportunity and treasure, isn’t it?”
Jo Gu-bin’s shoulders shook.
This is actually North Korean territory.
Therefore, even if the police officers from the Public Safety Agency came out to search, they did not pay any attention to this point.
That’s why Jo Gu-bin killed the hunter who lived here.
“I set up the site in a perfect place to live. good. No worries for the time being. Tsk tsk.”
Jo Gu-bin continued to mutter and began burying the original owner’s body lying on the floor.
I don’t know about anything else, but the hole was dug quite deep, probably because they wanted to erase any traces.
Pasat! Pasat!
At that time, they were busy sweating so hard and burying the body.
“huh?”
Gubin Jo felt it.
An unidentified chill drifts nearby.
At the same time, instinct sent a warning to Jo Gu-bin.
“…Fuck you!”
He instinctively threw his body to the left.
It wasn’t because I saw something, but because I felt that someone was there.
That moment.
Sssssssssssssshhhh!
“Wow!”
There was a dagger that passed along the back of my thigh before I could follow it.
It was Ganghu’s dagger.
It was a shame because I threw myself right away, otherwise the back of my back, not my thigh, would have been pierced.
“Fuck you!”
Jo Gu-bin cursed.
Next, he pressed a button that activated one of the defense facilities installed by the previous owner.
Weeeeeee.
With a mechanical sound, dozens of water buckets hanging in the air overturned and immediately poured out the liquid they contained.
It was a thick black liquid that felt similar to paint, and just looking at it was threatening.
It seemed like the arrangement was designed to cause visual obstruction and pain in movement to intruders.
“Die, you bastard!”
When Jo Gu-bin stretched his hand high into the sky, the pouring liquid instantly froze and turned into sharp thorns.
【Ice Witch】
【A constellation that grew from ancient glaciers, she grants freezing properties and strengthens freezing abilities.】
【Frantic Killer】
【He who serially murdered twenty humans became a constellation for unknown reasons and became a constellation. 】
【If the number of people killed exceeds 20, the constellation will grant you additional abilities at a random time. It is continuous and permanent.】
‘There is a constellation like garbage attached.’
Kang-hoo checked the list of constellations that had signed a contract with Jo Gu-bin and smiled bitterly.
It gives additional abilities equal to the number of people killed. Isn’t this the same as encouraging murder?
Anyway, I was able to clearly understand Jo Gu-bin’s abilities.
He is a hunter who can freely utilize freezing abilities.
It can be used as a natural weapon by freezing the surrounding water vapor or freezing the pouring liquid.
Shoooooo.
The ice, which had turned into a sharp thorn, was rotating around Jo Gu-bin’s body.
It’s a kind of defense mechanism.
In that situation, there was a possibility that if the kidnapping was used incorrectly, it would put him in danger.
First, Kang-hoo focused on Jo Gu-bin’s left thigh, which had a fairly deep wound.
Unless something can be done to dramatically heal the injury, it will continue to cause discomfort in movement.
The battle is a battle of persistence.
Therefore, I was planning to target the areas that were clearly weak points.
Since the goal is to kill him, not save him, there is no need to choose between means and methods.
“….”
Ganghu looked closely at the ice spikes rotating around Jo Gu-bin.
It seems like they are trying to look irregular by flicking 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.
Kanghu caught the difference right away with his quick insight.
And in order to use the skill, he kidnapped Jo Gu-bin, who made the next move.
“Ugh! “Tsk.”
Jo Gu-bin laughed as if it was funny when his body floated and was dragged by Kang-hu.
I was surprised because it was an unexpected attack method, but I was confident that I would not be attacked by this repertoire.
Even if he is dragged away like this, Kang-hoo will be hurt by the ice thorns just as much as he is.
but.
“…uh?”
Just when I thought the ice thorns would naturally attack Ganghu.
Crack.
Kang-hu rolls forward and digs into the gap.
Phew!
The dagger was so easily inserted into the front of Jo Gu-bin’s thigh.
It wasn’t just a basic attack.
He used the Great Decapitation skill.
It contained Ganghu’s will to inflict fatal wounds even if it meant pouring in 25% of his physical strength and magic power.
“Wow!”
Paang!
At the same time, the shadow that bounced like a spring behind Kang-hu’s back suddenly settled down at a safe distance.
Soon, the figure of Kang-hu, who was right in front of him, suddenly became blurred and appeared, changing positions with a shadow.
“Keuuuu!”
Jo Gu-bin grabbed his left thigh and writhed in pain.
I felt a burning pain where the dagger went in and came out.
It felt as if a fire had been lit inside the wound and a soldering iron was used.
The pain grew more and more intense.
“Huh. “Huh.”
There is no power.
It felt like my muscles and nerves had been completely cut off.
Jo Gu-bin tried to use his skills on Kang-hoo while maintaining his defense somehow.
My mind, consumed by pain, was unable to create a foundation for me to concentrate.
Gubin Jo said.
“What the fuck are you? What?”
“Well. “He’s the one who came to catch you.”
“This is my first time seeing you…?”
“This is my first time seeing you, but I don’t know what to do.”
Kang-hoo looked at Jo Gu-bin with a pitiful expression.
The disadvantage of magic hunters is that they are vulnerable to pain.
Unlike melee hunters, mental concentration is essential when using magic skills.
This happens when pain occurs simultaneously or when you fall into deep pain that cannot be ignored.
Due to the disruption of mental concentration, the accuracy dropped sharply or there was no preparation at all.
Stopping the attack for a moment and responding to Jo Gu-bin’s words was not an attempt to relax.
It was to inflict the most fatal wound on Jo Gu-bin when he tried to counterattack.
The timing is intentional.
“I’m asking you why you’re trying to kill me, you bastard!”
“I don’t think this is something to listen to from the guy who was just digging a hole to bury a corpse.”
“Have you received a request?”
“Don’t think about buying time, just go for it. Let’s take a look at your skills.”
Jo Gu-bin must have felt angry at Kang-hoo’s words, so he put his hands together.
Then, the surrounding air began to gather in a spiral, creating a sharp ice spear in an instant.
Needless to say, it had a sharp tip and seemed to have high penetrating power as it contained mana itself.
but.
widely!
When Kang-hoo snapped his fingers as if he had been waiting, the blood flower was immediately activated and presented hell to Jo Gu-bin.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Aaaah!”
With a scream, the ice spear that Jo Gu-bin was trying to implement disappeared without a trace.
It was broken.
That’s actually the second problem.
The biggest problem was that Jo Gu-bin’s view of the world began to tilt to the side.
This is because the lower left thigh, where a lot of damage had been accumulated, was cut off due to the explosion of blood.
It was an amputation.
As his left leg, which was somehow supporting him, disappeared, Jo Gu-bin’s body tilted to the side.
“This is ridiculous…”
Jo Gu-bin made a bewildered expression.
The opponent is an assassin hunter with a dagger.
Unless you are blind, this is the characteristic of seeing clearly.
There is something called common sense.
Magic hunters use long-distance control magic, and assassin hunters use melee attack skills.
There may be some variations here, but the overall framework does not change much.
For example, it is rare for an assassin to use magic or a wizard to perform a melee assassination.
However, Kanghu used a ‘magic’ that caused an explosion in his left leg even at a long distance from him.
Before Jo Goo-bin relives this absurd situation and realizes its meaning.
Coo!
“Ugh!”
The body lost its balance and rolled around on the floor.
Needless to say, my face was stuck on the wet, cold floor filled with fallen leaves.
Ta-tat!
Phew!
Kang Hoo, who narrowed the distance with a leap, took out the joy of the sky from his arms and slapped it on the back of Jo Gu-bin’s prone hand.
Because it was a moderately hardened dirt floor, the dagger penetrated sufficiently for a long time.
“Kaaaa!”
Jo Gu-bin screamed.
Kanghu did not stop there, but put the spare practice dagger he had on 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.
Ouch!
“Wow!”
As if that wasn’t enough, Ganghu stood up and pressed his cheek with his thick heeled shoe.
It was an unsightly sight.
“Are you kidnapping and killing a child for some crime? Actually, it would be a luxury to ask a guy like you the reason.”
“Cluck! It’s a sin to have a rich father! Isn’t that right? “If you have that much money, why don’t you take good care of your daughter?”
Kang-hu nodded in response to Jo Gu-bin’s answer that logic had gone to the other world.
Even the word ‘human’ in the word ‘human waste’ is waste that feels extravagant.
Jo Gu-bin seemed to think that the words he just said were not enough to convey the meaning, and continued giggling.
“What a child! “There is a innocence that doesn’t know anything about the world, so the taste of being deceived is ten times better… Wow!”
Before Jo Gu-bin could finish his words, Kang-hu’s dagger swung.
Inside the armpits, behind the elbows, throughout the wrists, in the groin, hamstrings, and even the Achilles tendon.
Even if there was a small wound, it was difficult to move the area. At the same time, it is also the most painful part.
I had no intention of seriously listening to Jo Gu-bin’s bullshit while I was in a situation where I was wondering whether I should listen to his kind words or not.
“Ugh! iced coffee! please! Argh! so painful…!”
Jo Gu-bin writhed in pain.
If you know so well about your own pain, why do you not know about the pain of others?
Because he is that kind of guy, he must be a criminal.
Kang-hu did not try to understand Jo Gu-bin.
Jo Gu-bin, completely overwhelmed by the pain, could not even think of 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 given to him by Ye-rin Lee.
It was a phone call to the father who lost his daughter to Jo Gu-bin.
Before even one beep sounds.
– yes. I received a call.
Even though he tried to speak casually, he heard the voice of a man who couldn’t hide his trembling emotions.
Ganghu did not show himself.
Instead, it featured Jo Gu-bin struggling on the floor.
And he spoke calmly.
“father. “I will begin avenging your daughter from now on.”
Because the purpose was clear, those who heard it couldn’t help but feel more goosebumps.
