Episode 84 Bejumiye (1)
* * *
On the day of the appointment, I met Kim Soo-kyung and members of his mercenary group at the appointed location.
All the mercenaries except Kim Soo-kyung were wearing masks, and so was Kang-hoo.
Kim Soo-kyung was someone whose face was already widely known to the public, so she didn’t feel the need to hide it.
It certainly smelled like a mercenary group that had been through a lot.
Kang-hoo could see that the mercenaries were well-armed, and above all, he could smell the scent of blood that did not go away.
When you live immersed in a battlefield stained with blood, the smell of blood never goes away, as if it were embedded in your skin.
It’s like the dampness that a person who has lived in a damp basement for a long time feels.
As soon as Kim Soo-kyung saw Kang-hoo, she greeted him warmly.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Soo-kyung.”
“This is Jeong Seon-gyu.”
“Shall we skip greeting the other mercenaries?”
“No. Anyway, we are people who will be working together for the same purpose, so we should say hello.”
Kang-hoo hates useless show, but he thought this time the situation was a little different.
They are people who gathered together with the goal of targeting Jeon Jong-du.
There are members within Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group, and there are also mercenaries recruited from outside like herself.
Although our backgrounds and environments are different, at least in this place, we were colleagues, even if it was just for a moment.
Kang-hoo was planning to thoroughly utilize these ‘colleagues’. It would be the same for them.
The goal is to use each other and ultimately get Jeon Jong-du.
Following Kim Soo-kyung’s instructions, I greeted each mercenary in turn.
They introduced themselves with fake names written on their masks, and Kang-hoo memorized their names one by one.
We also went through a process of identifying who had outstanding talents in what fields. The fields were really diverse.
Next.
The briefing on Jeon Jong-doo has begun.
A hunter of the light warrior series, level 350. He was already a piece of human garbage with numerous criminal charges against him.
There was also video evidence.
There have been numerous videos showing promising domestic hunters with fairly well-known names being sold to Russia.
In addition, it was confirmed that human trafficking of ordinary women was also taking place.
It was a dirty and ugly act that would not be an exaggeration to call it nuclear waste-level garbage.
Kang-hoo did not see this request as a comfortable structure like a battle between good and evil.
I thought about it in terms of a bright future and a dark future.
Although Kang-hoo wasn’t particularly interested in implementing justice, there was no benefit to losing talented people like that.
It is a loss both domestically and from the perspective of all hunters, it is a huge loss.
On the one hand.
This time, by cooperating with Kim Soo-kyung’s mercenary group, there was also the purpose of building a network with Kim Soo-kyung.
Kim Soo-kyung is a person who will have great influence in the eastern part of Gangwon-do in the future.
Moreover, he was a person who basically did not tolerate criminal activities by guilds or mercenary groups.
That is, from a long-term perspective, there was a high possibility that they would be in conflict with the Purification Guild.
It is not known to the world, but the evil deeds of the Purification Guild are not limited to one or two.
If Kim Soo-kyung ever finds out even a little bit about that fact, she will never have any positive feelings toward the Purification Guild.
In any case, the briefing on Jeon Jong-du was conducted in detail.
The battlefield was said to be an abandoned factory that Jeon Jong-du’s gang often used as a secret meeting place.
And although Kim Soo-kyung is in charge of directing the overall situation, Kang-hoo is given a lot of discretion.
As they were external mercenaries, they did not seem to demand excessive obedience or cooperation.
Of course, Kang-hoo had no intention of ignoring Kim Soo-kyung’s words or of considering cooperation with the mercenary group as meaningless.
However, if strategically necessary and if it was worth taking a gamble, I planned to act alone.
Actually, that was convenient.
I liked the picture of a team in the big picture, but ultimately moving as an individual in the small picture.
Unless you have really good chemistry with your colleagues, the person who sticks around is usually a nuisance.
1 hour later.
After completing the final maintenance, the group began moving towards the abandoned factory.
It just started to rain lightly, and since it was still dark outside, the entire road was dark.
Kang-hoo took advantage of the night vision and went forward first, securing his field of vision as usual.
As I had volunteered to help Kim Soo-kyung clear the way before departure, I was checking to see if there were any sentries or guards.
‘also.’
There were guys standing guard around the perimeter.
On the outside, it looked like there was nothing to see because of the rusty containers and haphazardly stacked wooden boxes.
However, with the flow of mana and the use of the constellation search ability, two hidden beings were detected.
It’s true that he was hiding himself quite well, but since he was discovered anyway, the future was obvious.
Ugh.
Kang-hoo, who had gone into hiding by moving horizontally, approached them without making a sound, even using Mu-yeong.
And the two sentries who held their breath in the darkness and were on guard against the appearance of intruders.
Phew! Phew!
Subdued in an instant.
The dagger thrust into the back of the neck in one breath caused the two hunters to die instantly without even being able to scream.
Since I had used the decapitation skill generously just in case, I didn’t have the ability to withstand the blow.
Perhaps the parties involved were not even aware that they were dead.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the afterlife right in front of me. In a way, it was a blessed death. I died without pain.
In the end, the sentry who died without even having time to send a single radio or warning signal had not accomplished a single mission.
Thanks to Kang-hoo taking the lead, Team 1 led by Kim Soo-kyung had a smooth entry.
On the other hand, Team 2 had a crisis where they almost got caught in the middle.
So, after some time, I got a call saying that they were going to come up with a plan to bypass the abandoned factory side road again.
Although the story was long and drawn out, it ultimately meant that the entry was delayed. It meant that things got tangled.
On the other hand, Kang-hoo silently subdued the six sentries one by one.
Furthermore, we also confirmed that a boundary barrier had been secretly buried in the ground.
This barrier has no offensive function, but it has a flare effect that notifies of enemy intrusion.
However, thanks to Kang-hoo’s ability to accurately determine the location of the barrier, Team 1 was able to ensure that no one stepped on the barrier.
‘I expected it, but it feels even better than I thought. Above all, it seems like there are a lot of abilities that can be utilized.’
Kim Soo-kyung saw with her own eyes Kang-hoo’s skillful responses, movements, and even finding the shortest route, and she understood why Lee Ye-rin had confidently recommended him.
As Lee Ye-rin said, I felt that level was not an important factor at all.
Rather, I was scared by the fact that Kang-hoo’s level wasn’t even 100 yet.
If you are at a level that you can admire now, then if you grow further from here, you will be even better.
‘You could call it an assassin’s manual. It specializes in all aspects of secret killing.’
As I felt from our first meeting, Kang-hoo was a man who had been through all kinds of hardships and battles in the air.
The number of assassins seen on the battlefield was so great that it could fill several dump trucks.
But among the many assassins I’ve seen, Kang-hoo’s movements were the best.
It was neat.
To an assassin hunter, the word ‘clean’ is the same as an expression of power to a hunter who wields swords and magic.
It is one of the highest compliments you can give to a professional.
Kim Soo-kyung wanted to give Kang-hoo that adjective without hesitation. He has a strong body that has been used on the battlefield.
Just as Team 1 was approaching the side road that was the fastest way to the abandoned factory.
Phew!
There was an explosion on the other side.
It seemed that Team 2 had an accident, rendering Team 1’s perfect approach meaningless.
“Intruder!”
“North! North!”
Why, why!
Along with the warning siren, Osho mercenaries were seen rushing out of the abandoned factory.
Jeon Jong-du was not visible though.
Anyway, due to the accident of Team 2, the meaning of covert infiltration has already disappeared. Now it is a battle of speed.
Kim Soo-kyung shouted.
“Go! Find Jeon Jong-du! Kill anyone who blocks your path! Go simply!”
The mercenaries began to run toward the abandoned factory, pushing through the rain that had grown heavier before they knew it.
Kang-hoo looked at the side door that was visible by taking a slight detour rather than the entrance that was directly below the slope.
Usually, the main gate, that is, the large gate, has quite a few security facilities installed.
There is also the risk that enemy firepower may be concentrated.
Of course, it wasn’t that Kim Soo-kyung didn’t know that and sent the mercenaries on an advance.
Because we have deployed a large number of mercenaries with specialized defense abilities at the front, we are confident that we can hold out.
However, Kang-hoo had been aiming for Jeon Jong-du from the beginning, so he did not want to put his efforts into a wasteful engagement.
There was no need to worry about individual responsibility and independent action under one’s own judgment, as this was something that Kim Soo-kyung also permitted.
Contrary to expectations, it would be much easier to enter through the side door.
Boom!
The moment the sight of the entire side door being blown away unfolded, Kang-hoo instinctively felt that there was something slightly wrong with his plan.
“Is Bezumiye coming out of here?”
The two eyebrows furrowed.
Bezumiye.
It’s a word that means ‘madness’ in Russian. In other words, it means a guy who came from Russia.
It was a giant hunter weapon.
To be exact, a hunter is a being that has no ability to think and only kills mechanically.
It was also much more powerful than the tracers covered in Eclipse.
That’s understandable, since from the hunter training stage onwards, they have been consistently injected with drugs to increase their size and height.
Because it arms you with fairly efficient items. It’s not a concept of using and throwing away like a tracker.
Bezumiye’s special feature is that when he targets one enemy, he attacks them until they die.
As long as your own breathing does not stop, aim for the target until the end.
To change this, only the ‘master’ of Bezumiye can change the direction by command.
I haven’t checked it myself, but it looks like the owner of this bejumiye is Jeon Jong-du without a doubt.
“Look at what it looks like.”
Kang-hoo lowered his posture.
He grabbed the blood clot with all his might.
Bezumiye, who had an appearance that could make you say, “Get out of here Frankenstein,” was unpleasant to even look at.
“It won’t be easy anyway.”
My body felt completely strengthened.
Bezumiye was in a position that was the polar opposite of his own.
Bezumiye is a giant assault type and a force type. She is close to the type that uses her body to attack everything.
On the other hand, Kang-hoo is characterized by being agile, evasive, and stylish while being quick and mobile.
It is a fight between those who try to suppress others and those who avoid it and cleverly counterattack.
When Kang-hoo glanced back, another mercenary, who had seen Bezumiye, moved as if to provide support.
However, Kim Soo-kyung, who was quick-witted, read the intentions in Kang-hoo’s eyes and stopped the mercenary.
“Leave that to Seon-gyu. If you go, the plan you’ve planned will get messed up.”
‘You have good sense.’
Although he couldn’t say anything, Kang-hoo made a circle with his index finger and thumb toward Kim Soo-kyung.
It’s a one-on-one situation.
You have to break through the bezumiye before you can get to the next step.
Kang-hoo was certain that there was a reason why Bezumiye was placed at the side door instead of the main gate.
Perhaps there is something you shouldn’t approach, or a place you want to hide.
Now it’s time to face the giant Russian human wall.
You have to be careful because even one hit can lead to a goal. Definitely.
