Episode 88 Jeon Jong-du (3)
* * *
“Stop playing the cheap tricks, you punk!”
Jeon Jong-du, whose whole body was red as a runaway train, began to charge towards Kang-hoo’s shadow.
Since there was only one guy and many shadows, it was very easy for Kang-hoo to avoid them.
I chose the shadow furthest from Jeon Jong-du and finished moving. As always, it was a perfect maneuver.
but.
Phew!
At that moment, Kang-hoo could clearly hear a loud noise. It was the sound of something heavy flying away.
“f*ck.”
When I looked at the situation, I saw that Jeon Jong-du, who was on the other side, was charging forward at an even faster rate than before.
It was so much faster than he had imagined that Kang-hoo had no chance to use his skill again.
“Hahahaha!”
Jeon Jong-du’s face, growing larger and closer like in a horror movie, filled my field of vision.
Kuung!
And then there was a crash.
Kang-hoo blocked Jeon Jong-du’s charge by deploying a protective barrier, but it was impossible to block it without taking damage.
“Ugh!”
My body floated.
At the same time, a wave of pain that started at the elbow, the starting point of the collision, spread throughout my body.
‘He’s a crazy kid.’
By Kang-hoo’s standards, it was almost a ‘praise’. Jeon Jong-du. As expected from his reputation, he was very strong.
As the floating body flew towards the wall, Jeon Jong-du took a stance with both arms stretched forward.
It’s a catching pose.
The intention was to catch Kang-hoo, who was about to bounce off or fall down the wall, and watch him finish off right there.
The only good thing was that Kang-hoo was mentally sound and although he had been hit, he was not injured.
【The Curtain of Skill】
【jump】
So, I laid down a curtain of skill, went into hiding, and used my leap skill to step over the wall and escape the scene.
It’s a good thing I had a clear idea of what to do next, otherwise I would have been caught and killed right away.
“You’re quite capable. It seems like you have quite a few options for getting out of a tight spot.”
“Down with the corners of your mouth, kid.”
Kang-hoo swore at Jeon Jong-du, who suddenly showed off his composure and gave him a thumbs-up.
It felt quite uncomfortable to see myself smiling so brightly. It was also a bit hurtful to my pride.
But on the other hand, I thought the battles would be fun.
Because characters with the same concept as Jeon Jong-doo are the most difficult enemies for Kang-hoo.
Assassination must be able to inflict serious injury or kill the opponent with a single blow.
However, these types of hunters with enormous size and strength are not easily defeated.
Moreover, compared to other occupations that have the following, even if they are hit with one or two effective attacks.
For a guy like Jeon Jong-du, getting caught meant death.
For these guys, the situation where they catch the enemy is the starting point of a one-hit-kill. It’s the situation I was aiming for just now.
【jump】
Pfft!
Kang-hoo rushed at Jeon Jong-du.
It is difficult to create an opening for Jeon Jong-du with a passive and defensive fight.
Even if they do create it, there is a high chance that they will prepare for it by reorganizing their posture and formation before approaching.
In the end, by actively digging in and inducing a response, we were able to actively create an opening.
That’s both the advantage and disadvantage of being a photoman.
It is powerful because it can exert power beyond imagination, but in the process, it exposes its own weaknesses without realizing it.
Even the light warrior himself was surprised by how quickly his body moved beyond common sense and control.
“Huh.”
Jeon Jong-du smiled as he watched Kang-hu honestly attack from the front.
I have also dealt with many hunters from the assassin profession. I have seen this kind of classic pattern over and over again.
Perhaps he’s pretending to come in and then stepping back, or he’s trying to use the same movement skill as before.
Jeon Jong-du, who was not even impressed by a simple dagger attack, stretched out his arm. It was obvious that he was going to catch him.
Right then.
【Cute!】
Kang-hoo used a skill he had never used before.
Isn’t combat a fight between various skill options?
This skill had its own value. At first, I frowned at the name because it felt off-putting.
Again! Duing!
Within seconds, a medium-sized slime the size of a person formed in front of Jeon Jong-du, filling his field of vision.
Jeon Jong-du’s arm, which had been stretched out with the intention of catching Kang-hoo no matter what he did, entered the slime’s body.
“f*ck!”
The slime’s body, which was stickier than expected, didn’t let go of Jeon Jong-du’s arm easily like a thick booger.
Meanwhile, Kang-hoo, who had successfully moved horizontally while making slime and targeting the guy, was behind Jeon Jong-du.
In some ways, it’s a typical formula for rearward movement.
By adding a new option called slime creation in the middle of the process, it became an unusual variable.

‘No. It’s obvious up to here.’
But Kang-hoo was not complacent and decided to twist the situation once more.
At the point where he was entangled with Slime, Jeon Jong-du would have naturally expected that he would be placed behind.
【Shallow Chaos】
So I quietly cast a shallow spell on Jeon Jong-du.
Loss of sense of direction.
Peripheral vision distortion.
It was a pretty good choice for a guy who moved instinctively using his body to display great strength.
“Xmi!”
Phew!
Jeon Jong-doo beat up the slime.
The force was so strong that the slime burst open, causing jelly-like drops to pour down from the sky.
The round, round eyes of the slime attached to the main body immediately became X-shaped, signaling a sad death.
So far so good.
Jeon Jong-du immediately turned his gaze and recognized Kang-hoo’s presence behind him, or more precisely, to the rear of his side.
Anyway, I wasn’t flustered because I had experienced countless situations where the assassin profession was ‘catching up’.
He stretched out his arm menacingly. It was close, so he could grab it in no time.
Right then.
Whew!
“… … ?”
Jeon Jong-du saw Kang-hoo’s figure, which had been clearly visible, disperse like smoke as soon as he touched it.
It was visible, but it wasn’t what was seen.
Could this be a hallucination?
Or sensory disturbance?
It’s not that there aren’t mental skills that can induce distortion in this way.
but.
I have never experienced an assassin using such a skill before.
It’s as if he, a member of the light warrior class, is far removed from magic skills. There is no connection.
That moment.
Choaaaak!
“Kuaaaah!”
Jeon Jong-du felt pain rising from a place he had never expected.
It was right in the groin.
At first it felt like cold metal, then a hot, burning pain spread over the wound.
Paradoxically, the shallow confusion that had just hit Jeon Jong-du was lifted thanks to the intense pain he felt.
But the situation had already happened.
Jeon Jong-du felt the balance of his lower body, which had been silently supporting his large body, collapse.
The damage sustained from the groin attack was too great to be dismissed as a simple accident.
‘To be continued. More.’
Meanwhile, Kang-hoo was whipping himself even harder.
Thanks to the proper use of the Great Decapitation skill, the blow just now went in very successfully.
No matter how strong a body is, its entire body does not maintain the strength of steel.
There are relatively ‘soft’ parts. Kang-hoo has been targeting such parts from the beginning.
【Surprise】
It took the sight away from Jeon Jong-du.
A skill that would normally not be used.
But right now, he must be in a situation where he can’t control his mind properly due to the extreme pain coming up from his lower body.
In times like these, mental attacks work much better.
Jeon Jong-du may have been a physically perfect hunter, but mentally he clearly had some weaknesses.
“This kid… … !”
Phew! Hwaang!
Jeon Jong-du, who was full of venom, stirred nervously around.
It was an attack filled with anger, as if they were going to tear apart anything they caught.
But Kang-hoo was not one to be caught up in useless struggling.
Kang-hoo looked at Jeon Jong-du with his breath held.
Even though the situation seems favorable.
If you happen to get caught by Jeon Jong-du, he might drain all your vitality and help you recover.
Then, the situation will be completely reversed, to the point where the phrase “a comeback victory” would be appropriate.
at that time.
“Come at me! Come at me!”
Jeon Jong-du’s upper body tilted forward as he reached out his hands and grabbed things here and there.
Because the lower body’s ability to support itself was different than usual, it seemed like it couldn’t keep up with the upper body’s movements.
When the body’s center of gravity is shaken.
If you recover quickly, you will soon find your center, but if not, your body will just follow the direction of the movement.
The current Jeon Jong-du was the latter.
The picture was created with the body leaning forward and the face relatively pushed forward.
【hijacking】
Kang-hoo made a decisive move.
It was a skill that had to be used most carefully against Jeon Jong-du, who would die if caught, but it was worth it now.
“Huh!”
Jeon Jong-du was once again taken aback by the series of skills that did not suit an assassin.
I wish it had ended with just embarrassment, but my heavy body was being lifted and headed towards Kang-hoo.
The vision blocking effect of the vision robbing had not yet been lifted, and Jeon Jong-du’s visual information was almost non-existent.
Kang-hoo lowered his body.
And he looked up at Jeon Jong-du, who had been summoned in front of him.
‘chin.’
I can see where to aim with one blow.
Kang-hoo, who was holding the blood clot tightly, stood up while linking it with the great beheading skill and extending the dagger upward.
Phew!
A heavy feeling of blood seeping through the bones, muscles, and flesh penetrated Jeon Jong-du’s tongue and palate.
Although Jeon Jong-du had an unrivaled large body, not all parts of his body were solid.
“Krrrrrrr… … !”
Soon, Jeon Jong-du, whose vision-stealing effect had worn off, discovered Kang-hoo and opened his eyes wide.
The blood clot had penetrated deep into his face and was emitting heat, but Jeon Jong-du was not dead yet.
Jeon Jong-du’s eyes bulged as if they would burst if the wind blew.
Jeon Jong-du, who was filled with venom to somehow catch Kang-hoo and kill him, looked like a yaksha.
Turup!
“f*ck.”
I was grabbed by both arms by Jeon Jong-du.
Even with the dagger piercing through his face, Jeon Jong-du did not lose his original strength.
Suuuuuup!
Soon, I felt as if the blood in my body was being sucked to one side, and my energy began to drain away.
One of Jeon Jong-du’s constellation abilities.
It seemed like the absorption of life had begun.
I don’t know if it was because of my mood, but it felt like not only my energy but also my mana was being sucked out of my body.
That wasn’t all.
Jeon Jong-du grabbed Kang-hoo’s arms and lifted him high into the sky.
My body floated up in an instant, to the point where I wondered if this was what it would feel like if there was a human amusement ride.
In a situation where it wouldn’t have been strange for any average hunter to have lost their breath, Jeon Jong-du was holding on.
Rather, it was a situation where a counterattack was made.
If Jeon Jong-du’s powerful downward strike starts in this state, there is a high possibility that he will end up like a dried pollack.
It would be fortunate if the body did not become like finely minced meat from front to back. There would be nothing left.
“You crazy kid.”
Kang-hoo stuck his tongue out and swore at Jeon Jong-du, who was showing off his brute strength.
If we had given him just a little more time, Kang-hoo would have been injured as well. No, it would have been better if he had been injured.
so.
【Blood】
I used the finishing skill.
It was a skill that couldn’t be used in the beginning of the battle because it didn’t cause any significant damage.
Now, there was enough ‘material’ as the situation had caused deep wounds and massive bleeding in the groin and lower jaw.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft pfft!
There was a huge explosion.
However, this time, Kang-hoo was not free from the explosion of blood that occurred from Jeon Jong-du.
Unlike the development of Blood Flower, which always ended beautifully from a distance.
This time, I had to mix in with the target and experience an explosion of blood and flesh.
As for the expression ‘crazy kid’ that I uttered earlier.
There was also a feeling of being fed up with Jeon Jong-du’s recklessness that made it so that it would not end easily until the very end.
‘I guess I need to rest for a few days.’
Kang-hoo, who foresaw that he and his wife would be completely torn apart by the explosion, let out a soft sigh.
