Episode 69
Jo Won-cheol intended to finish him off with just one blow, and that was the first blow.
Jo Won-cheol’s judgment itself was not wrong, because if he dragged it out too long, he might play some kind of trick with the welcome party.
If there was one thing wrong, it was that he thought his strength and speed were superior to Kang Jin-hyeok’s.
Cho Won-cheol’s blade, swung at a speed close to the speed of sound, clearly reached the target.
However, I couldn’t just cut off my opponent’s head as I wanted.
Jo Won-cheol’s hand did not advance even 1mm further from the point where it touched Kang Jin-hyeok’s neck.
“That’s ridiculous… … .”
Jo Won-cheol didn’t notice the aura that Kang Jin-hyeok had placed thinly around his neck.
Of course, even if I had noticed, the result would not have changed.
Kang Jin-hyeok extended his arm toward Jo Won-cheol, who was absentmindedly clenching his fist.
Jo Won-cheol was so flustered that he easily allowed himself to be hit by a blow that he would have easily avoided in the past.
“Ugh!”
The fist, thrown with no strength as if it were a joke between friends, shook Jo Won-cheol’s internal organs.
The S-class hunter’s body is so strengthened with stats that even bullets can’t penetrate it.
Kang Jin-hyeok managed to shock Jo Won-cheol enough to make his eyes roll back with just one punch.
“Ugh… … !”
Jo Won-cheol, who fell forward holding his side, had difficulty getting up.
Kang Jun-tae wondered if what he was seeing was a dream.
“How can a guy who hasn’t even eaten a Hwandan… …!”
Kang Jin-hyeok returned with a strange skill that allowed him to shoot light, as well as greatly increased all of his stats.
Such rapid growth would never have been possible unless you were a vegetable adult born with a monkey’s tail.
But even if you deny it as an unbelievable situation, the things happening right before your eyes will not be treated as if they never happened.
It’s ridiculous, but what can we do? If that’s the reality, we have no choice but to accept it.
“Fuck!”
Since he had defeated Jo Won-cheol so easily, it was reckless to rush into a head-on confrontation.
We had to take advantage of the 2 vs 1 advantage if possible.
Kang Jun-tae rushed at Kang Jin-hyeok with a hammer to save Jo Won-cheol.
“Smash!”
Kang Jun-tae aimed for Kang Jin-hyeok’s head with the skill that destroyed the road.
I was aiming for the weak spot, but I didn’t expect to get hit with it right from the start.
Kang Jun-tae’s goal was to make Kang Jin-hyeok step back and distance himself from Jo Won-cheol.
But Kang Jin-hyeok did not move as he wanted.
Kang Jin-hyeok swung his baseball bat at the iron hammer falling on his head.
Kang Jin-hyeok’s baseball bat was clearly wrapped in a golden aura.
It wasn’t just the color that changed from red to gold.
When I first saw it, the aura was floating around the bat like a haze.
Now it had a distinct shape, as if it had been newly coated.
The moment the hammers made contact, Kang Jun-tae realized what the difference meant.
“Fuck.”
Kang Jun-tae witnessed the hammer shatter into pieces like a sugar craft.
The trademark that no monster had ever hurt until now disappeared so vainly that I couldn’t help but curse.
Kang Jin-hyeok was equally surprised.
What Kang Jin-hyeok had expected was a scene where they would hold out with equal strength. He didn’t expect Kang Jun-tae’s hammer to be broken so easily.
“wow.”
While admiring himself, Kang Jin-hyeok stretched his foot toward the center of Kang Jun-tae’s abdomen.
“Ugh!”
Kang Jun-tae let out a single scream and was pushed back.
I tried with all my might to hold on, but I couldn’t completely ignore the excruciating pain that was coming my way.
Eventually, Kang Jun-tae got down on one knee and took a deep breath.
“What the heck is going on… … .”
Kang Jun-tae felt like he was having a nightmare.
I couldn’t believe that it was me and the S-class hunter, Jo Won-cheol, who were being treated so helplessly.
At least I could understand if it was from another S-class hunter.
Being robbed by a human with only a C-class hunter license was a reality that I personally experienced, but always wanted to deny in my head.
“Why is your expression like that?”
Kang Jin-hyeok faced Kang Jun-tae’s distorted expression.
Even though he didn’t express it in words, his expression was filled with all kinds of emotions.
“Do you feel wronged because you always get hit and then you get hit?”
Kang Jin-hyeok laughed as if he found it funny.
“Don’t joke around about how the guy who sprayed poison gas into people’s houses to catch them just got hit once.”
Kang Jin-hyeok didn’t like the fact that Kang Jun-tae was acting as if he was the victim.
It was he who was living quietly and then was struck by lightning, not Kang Jun-tae.
Kang Jin-hyeok never forgot that moment when he had used his position and power as an S-class hunter to invade without permission and act tyrannically.
“Get up. You need to get hit some more.”
Kang Jin-hyeok walked towards Kang Jun-tae, holding a baseball bat.
Thanks to the pain subsiding considerably, Kang Jun-tae was able to get up before Kang Jin-hyeok approached him.
“You cheeky bastard… …. Now that you’ve gotten stronger, can’t you see anything?”

“It’s guys like you. I just want to beat up some X-type guys.”
I will repay you for what you have received.
There was no other reason to come all the way here.
If Kang Jun-tae was a gentleman he had never met before, he would have quietly waited until he and Jo Won-cheol came to a conclusion.
“You didn’t think you’d die after doing that shit to someone else, did you?”
Kang Jin-hyeok swung his baseball bat with a bright smile on his face.
Kang Jun-tae watched the scene from beginning to end, but he couldn’t move his body to avoid it.
By the time the sight of the bat being swung entered my vision and my brain registered it, it was already too late.
The baseball bat struck Kang Jun-tae’s left forearm with such force that it pulverized his bones.
“Kuaaaah!!”
Kang Jun-tae screamed while holding his hit arm.
“Left arm first.”
Kang Jin-hyeok had no intention of ending it in one go from the beginning.
He was planning to make Kang Jun-tae feel the helplessness he felt by breaking his limbs one by one.
“Ughhhhh… …!”
“I don’t want to drag it out, so just do the other side.”
“X you, you little shit.”
Kang Jun-tae gritted his teeth and took out a potion from his inventory.
As he was trying to treat his wound by applying it, he suddenly saw the vial of potion he had just taken out suddenly break.
The culprit who broke the bottle was, of course, Kang Jin-hyeok.
Just like Kang Jun-tae had done last time, Kang Jin-hyeok picked up a piece of concrete lying on the floor and threw it at the potion bottle.
“Hey, back then you said it was cowardly to fight with me and do things like that? Did you get dementia or something in the meantime?”
“This kid… … !”
Kang Jun-tae had no choice but to take out an extra hammer with one arm and hold it.
As pain surged through my arm, I bit my lip hard enough to draw blood and held it in.
“Ugh!”
Kang Jun-tae temporarily increased his stats by casting a buff skill.
I wanted to save it as much as possible because it was a skill with a short duration and long cooldown, but now was not the time to worry about that.
‘Let’s face it, he’s stronger now.’
It was truly a ridiculous story.
But I couldn’t just accept it and feel wronged forever.
In order to win, you had to accept the situation, even if it was unreasonable.
‘hmm?’
While he was wondering how to attack Kang Jin-hyeok, Kang Jun-tae discovered Jo Won-cheol moving slowly behind him.
Kang Jin-hyeok didn’t even glance in that direction, as if he hadn’t noticed yet.
Jo Won-cheol nodded quietly as his eyes met Kang Jun-tae’s.
‘Yeah. For now, it’s better to finish that guy off than fight Jo Won-cheol.’
Jo Won-cheol, who lost his popularity, and Kang Jun-tae, whose pride was hurt, formed a temporary alliance because their interests coincided.
‘No matter how strong you become, you won’t be able to deal with both of them at the same time.’
Jo Won-cheol and Kang Jun-tae had the same thought at the same time.
They decided just by looking at each other’s eyes who would catch their attention and when to make a surprise attack.
They were both veterans of countless battles, so there was no need to open their mouths to say anything.
Kang Jun-tae, who took the lead, opened his eyes fiercely and started taking action before the buff ended.
“Yaaaah!!”
Kang Jun-tae ran towards Jo Won-cheol while making a loud noise on purpose so that he could not hear the sound of his movements.
Kang Jin-hyeok blocked Kang Jun-tae’s attack by simply extending his hand without moving an inch from his seat.
And then right after, he twisted his upper body and dodged Jo Won-cheol’s outstretched hand that was aimed behind him.
Jo Won-cheol’s hand, missing its target, unintentionally pierced Kang Jun-tae’s shoulder.
“Eww!”
“What the f*ck!”
I quickly pulled out the blade, but the hole was already deep.
Kang Jun-tae collapsed, bleeding profusely, and Jo Won-cheol was grabbed by the collar by Kang Jin-hyeok.
“I was wondering what the two of you were whispering about, and this is all you got?”
Kang Jin-hyeok knew from the beginning that the two would attack together.
I was wondering what kind of great joint attack they would show.
As expected from a hastily formed alliance, it was an obvious surprise attack.
“Don’t let go of this!?”
Jo Won-cheol aimed for Kang Jin-hyeok’s wrist, who was holding him by the collar with the blade of his hand.
But his fingers only brushed the empty air.
Kang Jin-hyeok, who had already pulled his hand back, clenched his fist and stretched it out again.
“Ugh!”
The place where the fist struck was the center of Jo Won-cheol’s face.
Jo Won-cheol tried to stop the bleeding from his nose by holding his broken nose.
“I dare to do this ruined baby!”
“How dare you? Are you such a great person that you throw people to be monster food?”
Those who were sacrificed to Alaune and Jo Won-cheol also only have one life.
Not only was it the same size, but its weight was also the same.
Some lives are precious, others are cheap lives that can be thrown away.
In that way, the value was not determined separately.
“Even if Kang Jun-tae is like that, you are a guy who really shouldn’t be breathing and living.”
Kang Jin-hyeok gripped the handle of the baseball bat tightly.
And before swinging, I checked Jo Won-cheol’s karma level.
“’992’… … I’m glad I got it before it hit four digits.”
“What? What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden?!”
“You don’t know.”
It’s something you won’t understand even if you hear it anyway.
Instead of giving a friendly explanation, Kang Jin-hyeok gave a full swing with a lot of weight.
“Kick, I can dodge such a simple attack with my eyes closed!”
Jo Won-cheol lowered his body to avoid the bat coming across him horizontally.
As expected, Kang Jin-hyeok’s bat passed just above his head.
‘Then that’s right.’
Jo Won-cheol, who was laughing inwardly at the amateurish attack, belatedly noticed Kang Jin-hyeok’s knee coming right up to him.
“!!”
As soon as he realized in his head that he was screwed, Jo Won-cheol was hit by Kang Jin-hyeok’s knee and raised his head.
“The height is just right.”
Kang Jin-hyeok swung the bat again with a big swing of his waist.
The sound of a watermelon breaking echoed as the bat struck Jo Won-cheol’s head.
The body of Jo Won-cheol, who had lost his head, fell sideways and did not move at all.
“homer.”
