Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 165
165. From this time on, the Black Sea Guild is our enemy.
“Ugh… … .”
The first thing Gal Ji-hong felt when he came to his senses was pain.
“Khuuuk.”
My nose was sagging and my hand bones were broken.
The face was so bloodshot that it was hard to tell who it was.
“Rain, f*cking breads… … .”
Gal Ji-hong was startled by the curse that came out without him knowing and looked around.
Fortunately, there was no one else there.
‘Whew. That’s a relief.’
If the Master of the Black Sea Guild had heard about it, he would have been beaten without mercy.
‘You’re beating me with just brute force, even though I only have 2,200 strength.’
I’ll admit that he’s fast because he’s an assassin, but I never imagined he’d be pushed back by force.
‘Wait a minute. But how am I alive?’
Gal Ji-hong couldn’t figure out why he was alive.
Considering the circumstances at the time, it wouldn’t have been strange if he died.
‘If he had the chance, he could have killed me.’
I’m angry, but I have to admit it.
The fact that the Master of the Black Sea Guild is stronger than him.
‘But why did you save me?’
I looked around and saw that the place was the same as before I passed out.
He didn’t even disable me or kidnap me, he just knocked me out and left.
‘There’s no reason to keep me alive, right? Oh! No way?’
Was he convinced by the words that if he killed himself, the entire Baeksa Guild would become his enemy?
So you ran away in a hurry, leaving me behind?
‘Whatever the reason, you’re all screwed.’
If we go back and report to the boss like this, the Black Sea Guild will completely disappear from Korea.
‘I will make sure that you realize what it means to mess with the White Snake Guild this time.’
Gal Ji-hong stood up, enduring the pain.
Injuries of this level can be easily treated by calling the guild’s healer.
‘I don’t know what you were thinking when you saved my life, but you made a mistake.’
Gal Ji-hong left the place with that vow of revenge.
Without even knowing that someone was watching them from a distance.
* * *
Min Do-jun returned home and closed his eyes to watch Gal Ji-hong.
‘Okay. Get treated and go back. Go and ask for some helpful information.’
I didn’t kill him on purpose to get more information.
I needed to know who had provided me with the information about the sword.
‘Is it Justin Walker as expected?’
As of now, it’s just a guess and there’s no concrete evidence.
‘Should I check the characteristics?’
Min Do-jun confirmed the trait he had taken from the Black Sea Guild member.
[Characteristic – Cat’s Walk]
– Grade: C
-Description: No sound of footsteps. Shock received when falling is reduced by 90%.
It overlapped with the Ghost Step boots and abilities, but it wasn’t bad.
‘You can hide your footsteps without the ghost walk boots.’
Since I didn’t have high expectations to begin with, I was satisfied with the fact that the traits had accumulated.
How many good traits can come out among guild members who are only level 1,500 or lower?
‘But I killed a person, and now I don’t care.’
Even though the Black Sea Guild is a group of murderers and criminals, they are still human beings.
It would have been understandable to feel even a little bit uneasy, but he killed them without any hesitation.
For the trivial reason that there is not enough space for parasites.
‘People are just trash.’
Is it because I’ve become numb to murder?
Is it because I am deeply disillusioned with trash?
In his eyes, the Black Sea Guild members no longer looked human.
It just looks like an unscratched lottery ticket.
‘Gal Ji-hong must be killed someday.’
If you keep an eye on him, you’ll definitely get the information you want.
‘When that time comes, we must eradicate Gal Ji-hong and the entire Baek Sa Guild.’
There is no reason to keep the garbage gang alive.
Especially if they are the ones who put Hwang Ui-cheol in danger.
‘The price for putting my people in danger is death.’
The next most important person after Cha Ye-rin was Hwang Ui-cheol.
Now that I know that the White Snake Guild is connected to the sword, I have no intention of letting them live.
‘By the way, my right-hand man, Gal Ji-hong, has this level of skill.’

I expected him to be an S-class hunter, but he was weaker than I thought.
‘Well, keeping them from taking out their weapons was a factor in our victory.’
I was able to easily subdue him by making him unable to use a two-handed sword, as per the strategy shown in the weakness detection.
‘Probably all the skills were related to two-handed swords.’
Gal Ji-hong, without a two-handed sword, was just a strong fool.
‘Even so, it doesn’t seem like it’s that strong.’
I thought it was around 2,000 strength.
‘It would have been a bit difficult if we had fought without going berserk.’
Gal Ji-hong may not have known, but Min Do-jun used Berserk during the fight.
Since I didn’t receive the Battlefield Incarnation buff, I had to use Berserk to inflate my stats.
‘I’ve raised my strength and agility to over 3,000, so an ordinary S-rank can’t be my opponent.’
The S-class hunter I encountered for the first time after returning like that was more insignificant than I thought.
‘If you were holding a two-handed sword, it would be different.’
It might have been a bit difficult if he had caught on properly, but he was careless.
Just a little bit.
‘You have to keep growing, because you might face stronger opponents.’
My intuition was telling me.
That we must not settle for reality and must continue to build our strength.
‘It has to be enough to overwhelm Shin Kyung-min even without the Battlefield Incarnation buff.’
You can’t slow down your leveling up, even for the sake of revenge.
‘Fortunately, there’s not much left until level 2,500.’
Once you reach level 2,500, you will be able to share Shin Kyung-min’s personal dungeon.
Additionally, you can use the S-rank skills you obtained from Kim Be-Dro.
‘When that time comes, I will become even stronger.’
Min Do-jun looked for his next hunting ground.

If you were to ask people which guild is the best in America, they would most definitely pick the Overlord Guild.
It goes without saying that it was a guild where the best rankers from all over the world gathered.
“The number 1 position on the Infinite Tower has changed?”
Adam Bishop, the guild leader of the best guild, showed a surprised expression that was rarely seen.
It’s not that it wasn’t, but because the first place belonged to world-class ranker Justin Walker.
“Yes. I saw a new recruit who recently entered the Tower of Infinity change his rank. I asked another hunter who entered the Tower and confirmed it was true.”
“What country is it? If it’s the United States, how could I not know about it?”
“It’s Korea.”
Adam Bishop looked more surprised than before at the employee’s words.
I was thinking of China or India, but a country I had never thought of popped up.
At the same time, I was also happy.
Because Korea was his birthplace.
“If it’s Korea, it’s a country related to me.”
“Oh, did you say that the guild leader is originally Korean?”
“Yes. Well, I was adopted to America when I was young, so I don’t know much.”
The employee, not missing the bitter expression on Adam’s face, quickly continued speaking.
“Still, you’re amazing. You created the best guild in America all by yourself!”
“I was just lucky.”
“Do you ever want to go back to Korea?”
“I went there last year anyway.”
“Oh, how was it?”
“It was a new experience. It wasn’t a bad country. And it was a country with stronger hunters than I thought.”
“Really? Compared to our country, the United States?”
Adam burst out laughing at the ridiculous question.
“The United States is overwhelmingly strong. That goes without saying. Of course, there are strong hunters in Korea, too. In particular, the hunter Shin Kyung-min, who is ranked 1st, is one of them. I think the Korean hunter who took 1st place in the Infinite Tower this time is probably that hunter.”
“I knew that too, so I looked into it separately, and it turns out that a hunter named Shin Kyung-min had already conquered the Infinite Tower a year ago.”
“is it so?”
“Yes. At that time, the score was 73 million points, and although it was ranked 5th until recently, it has now fallen to 6th place. Here is the current Hall of Fame ranking.”
Adam Bishop couldn’t help but be surprised as he looked at the materials his employee had handed him.
“1st place gets 147 million points? That’s almost 150 million points?”
“Yes. The second place is Justin Walker’s performance, but it’s quite different.”
“That’s a difference of almost 50 million points.”
Adam couldn’t take his eyes off the material for a while.
I was more shocked by the overwhelming gap than by the fact that Korea was in first place.
“Where on earth did this monster come from… … . Do you even know who it is?”
“You can’t check the rankings of other countries unless you’re an Awakened member of that country. Is it possible for you, as the guild leader, to do so?”
Wouldn’t it be possible for Adam, a S-class hunter and Korean?
It was a question posed with that in mind, but Adam immediately shook his head.
“I was born in Korea, but I am a citizen of the United States. The domestic rankings are also displayed based on the United States.”
“Oh, really? Even if we don’t investigate, it will be revealed soon. If Korea also updates the rankings frequently, it’s impossible not to know. If you just look for hunters who have significantly increased their level among those who are level 2,250 or higher, they will come out right away.”
Adam nodded in agreement, then opened his mouth after much thought.
“Once we find out who it is, we’ll make a recruitment offer right away.”
“If you’re a hunter at that level, you probably already have a guild?”
“It doesn’t matter. You have to bring him to our guild even if it means paying a deposit. The conditions are the same as Justin Walker’s, but the deposit must be doubled.”
“Me, twice as much as Justin Walker?”
Are you willing to double Justin Walker’s already high signing bonus?
That too for a newbie?
“I don’t know who he is, but he is a hunter worth that much based on his performance. We have to bring him in no matter what. Do you understand?”
There is no hunter who does not succumb to money.
Even the most proud hunter will bow down if offered a huge sum of money.
‘Korean hunters probably aren’t much different.’
Adam was confident.
That’s how we recruit hunters from all over the world.

Phew-
“Keuhuhuhuh… … !”
Heo Ji-pyeong’s sharp spear pierced the neck of an ordinary farmer.
“It’s not fun.”
“Please, please save me. Please… … .”
The subordinates who were watching the cruelty of destroying an entire village while saying it was not fun were left tongue-tied.
Then, he saw someone coming into the village and ran to Heo Ji-pyeong and said.
“Boss, Brother Gal is back.”
Heo Ji-pyeong lowered his spear at the news that his long-awaited right arm had returned.
After a while, Gal Ji-hong appeared looking somewhat haggard.
“Look, boss.”
“I already know what happened, but I need to hear it from your own mouth.”
Gal Ji-hong carefully reported what had happened in Korea.
When I asked about the location of the sword, he said that the Black Sea Guild made a surprise attack on him and ran away.
“You really came from the Black Sea Guild like that?”
“I’m ashamed. It was my fault… .”
Crunch-
Heo Ji-pyeong’s spear blade flashed like a lightning bolt and struck the farmer’s head.
“You f*cking bastards dare to X the White Snake Guild?”
Heo Ji-pyeong, who rarely gets excited, looked at the farmers with eyes full of murderous intent.
Throb-
The terrified farmers shook their shoulders, not knowing that it would be their last act in life.
Thud thud-
In an instant, five farmers’ throats were cut off.
At that sight, Gal Ji-hong’s shoulders shook slightly.
‘Oh, at some point like this… … .’
It was such an incredible speed that even an S-class person couldn’t see it.
‘I thought the Black Sea Guild Leader was on par with the boss… … .’
No it wasn’t.
The boss was much stronger than he thought.
Enough to easily defeat the Master of the Black Sea Guild.
“Hoooo.”
Heo Ji-pyeong let out a long sigh, as if his anger was not cured even after committing murder.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Huh? Oh, no.”
Gal Ji-hong, who was looking at his boss with a happy expression, fixed his eyes.
“So. You don’t know where the Black Sea Guild Master is?”
“… … Yes.”
“What about the sword? Are you sure they have it?”
“I’m not sure. I just assumed it was something he had but wasn’t going to give it to me.”
“Are you saying that these kids not only broke up the deal, but also ate the sword and carried it away?”
Heo Ji-pyeong ground his teeth in anger.
Gal Ji-hong had never seen him so furious.
“As of this moment, the Black Sea Guild is our enemy.”
Being designated as an enemy by the White Snake Guild means that their very existence will be wiped out.
It meant that they would search for and eliminate not only the Black Sea Guild Master but also all of the guild members.
While he was vowing revenge like that.
Jiiing-
Heo Ji-pyeong’s cell phone vibrated.
“Who at this hour of the night… … .”
Heo Ji-pyeong’s expression hardened when he saw the caller and he answered the phone.
“Yes, hello.”
Gal Ji-hong’s eyes widened at the sight of his boss setting an example.
But I was able to calm down my surprise by guessing who I was talking to.
Because there was only one person who could make the boss take a humble stance.
“What brings you here, Justin Walker?”
