Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter Part 2 Episode 69
69. Song Chi-Hyeon
Choi Sung-min followed Song Chi-hyeon.
In fact, it was closer to tracking than tailing.
Because I was just following the trail he had walked from a sufficient distance.
‘If you get too close, you might get caught. It’s safer to follow them like this, even if it means keeping some distance.’
Of course, since it was marked, there was no way I would miss it.
Choi Sung-min, who had been tracking for a long time, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
‘It feels like I’m going down a familiar path… … .’
Soon, Song Chi-hyeon’s pursuit was cut off in front of a large shopping mall.
I saw a familiar building.
‘Isn’t this where Team Crush’s office is?’
It seems like Song Chi-hyun’s destination was Team Crush.
The moment he learned that fact, Choi Sung-min realized.
What was the purpose of Song Chi-hyun’s visit to Team Crush’s office?
‘I plan to kill them all.’
If not for that, there would be no reason to come here.
‘Did you meet Oh Gwang-taek in the middle and go in together?’
He may have come here to erase his memories.
Because I promised myself not to kill for the time being.
‘No. If it’s a situation where fire is on my feet, I might just kill him, regardless of the promise or anything… ‘
Anyway, you’ll know once you check it out.
I quickly went into the store.
The elevator was ignored because it was caught on CCTV.
I ran up the stairs.
The moment I arrived at Team Crush’s office as quickly as possible.
‘The smell of blood.’
I felt the pungent scent of blood seeping out through the slightly open crack of the door.
Tseueueuut-
I quickly put on my gear and prepared for battle.
He put on his doppelganger mask, took out his deadly poison, and prepared himself.
I opened the office door carefully so as not to make any noise.
“Sir, senior… … !”
Do Eun-jeong’s voice is heard.
‘A rather frightened voice.’
It wasn’t hard to guess what the situation was.
Slurp-
He hid himself in hiding.
‘Even so, it will be visible to Song Chi-hyeon, who has high fighting power… … .’
Since the weapon’s attack power doubles when you make a surprise attack after hiding, I couldn’t not use it.
‘If possible, kill him in one shot. There’s no benefit to dragging it out.’
Even if you know Song Chi-hyun’s characteristics and can deal with them, the difference in combat power between 250,000 and 600,000 cannot be ignored.
‘But if you do it right, you can kill him in one shot.’
Song Chi-Hyeon’s stats have been lowered by 10% due to the neurotoxin.
There are double the assassination mark, double the player win, double the hunter hunter, etc.
It is full of characteristics that make it perfect for killing with one blow.
If we spray a deadly poison on it and increase the damage it takes… … .
‘It’s quite possible.’
I think I can kill him in one go as planned.
‘The problem is the use of factor assassination… … .’
There are two ways to use factor assassination.
Walk to Song Chi-hyeon and receive a 20% damage boost.
When walking on someone else, you receive invincibility instead of taking halved damage.
‘It’s most stable to receive the invincibility effect. There’s also a target.’
I don’t know about the other team members, but Do Eun-jung is alive and well.
If you target her with a factor assassination, the attacks on Song Chi-hyeon, the other target, will be useless.
That is, you can use the 10-minute invincibility effect.
‘But after 10 minutes, I guess I’ll have no choice but to get a penalty.’
Since you cannot bring yourself to kill Do Eun-jeong, the assassination attempt will fail and your stats will drop by 50% for 120 hours.
‘As long as I can assassinate Song Chi-hyeon for sure, it doesn’t matter whether I get a penalty or not… … .’
A question kept popping up in Choi Sung-min’s mind.
Is it really necessary to take a week-long penalty to gain the invincibility effect?
Wouldn’t it be possible to beat Song Chi-hyun even without being invincible?
‘Honestly… … I’m not insecure.’
Song Chi-hyun is weakened by neurotoxin.
If you use poison, your chances of winning increase significantly.
Moreover, you can use his traits to your advantage.
‘You can win even if you’re not invincible.’

Rather than being invincible and taking half damage yourself.
‘It’s better to target Song Chi-hyeon and assassinate him to increase damage by 20%.’
Seongmin Choi, who had made the decision, ordered the assassination of Song Chihyeon.
[Assassinate the specified target within the time limit.]
[When attacking a designated target, damage increases by 20%.]
[When attacking other targets, damage is reduced by 50%, but you become invincible to attacks.]
[Time remaining: 9 minutes 59 seconds]
You must assassinate Song Chi-hyeon within 10 minutes.
Otherwise, you will be penalized and a dangerous situation will arise.
“Before you go, take comfort in the fact that you were still alive for a little while.”
Song Chi-hyeon is seen holding a sword.
It feels like Do Eun-jeong’s neck will be cut off at any moment.
Whoosh-
Choi Sung-min carefully approached and sprayed the poison he was holding.
The poison contained in the flask is sprayed onto Song Chi-hyeon’s clothes.
Just getting it on your clothes is enough.
[The target has been poisoned with a deadly poison.]
[The target’s movement speed is reduced by 50%.
[Damage taken by target increases by 50%.]
[Effect decreases by 5% every 30 seconds.]
[Time left to decipher: 4 minutes 59 seconds]
“what?”
When Song Chi-hyun sees something poisoned and speaks annoyedly.
Choi Sung-min jumped in.
As if he was going to pierce Song Chi-hyeon’s neck in one go.
Shhhhh!
As I was swinging my dagger, my eyes met with Song Chi-hyeon’s, who turned his head the moment I saw him.
The hiding was discovered, but what’s the big deal?
Just kill the guy and that’s it.
“Huh!”
However, like a class A hunter, Song Chi-hyun avoided losing his life.
He dodged the attack with quick reflexes.
‘Still, it hurt.’
The red glow of the dagger deepened as the surprise attack was successful.
Added 1,600 additional attack power for 10 seconds.
‘We have to push forward now that we have the buff.’
Choi Sung-min took a swinging motion to attack immediately.
Taat-!
Unlike the movement, he jumped backwards to gain some distance.
In fact, it was a fake to deceive Song Chi-hyeon.
After a while.
Papapapapapak-!
Numerous sword strikes passed by where Choi Sung-min had been.
As expected, Song Chi-hyun’s main skill, Sword Dancing, cut through the air.
Song Chi-hyun looks at him with surprised eyes, as if he didn’t know the attack would miss.
Then he hardens his expression and says.
“Who are you?”
There is no time to answer.
You must attack as much as possible before 10 seconds pass.
‘I’ve taken your skills, so there’s no need to be hesitant.’
The effects of the poison will also decrease every 30 seconds, so there is no time to relax.
He rushed in as if it was a question and answer dance and attacked from all sides.
Clang-! Clang-!
Song Chi-hyun blocked it with his sword, but not all of it was blocked.
Squeak-
“Ugh!”
Song Chi-hyeon tensed as the dagger passed through his arm.
‘He’s no ordinary guy.’
The movements are clean and uncluttered.
Every attack is a murderous attempt at one’s own life.
‘He’s dodging as if he expected my attack.’
No matter how much Song Chi-hyun swung his sword, it didn’t even graze the collar of his masked opponent.
‘His reflexes are also quite impressive. He’s on par with me at 1,800… …!’
Song Chi-hyun didn’t know, but it wasn’t on the same level.
Choi Sung-min’s reflexes, which have increased due to his current gregarious instinct, are approaching 2,000.
Moreover, since the stats dropped by 10%, it was inevitable that it would be pushed back relatively.
Of course, it wasn’t just reflexes that were pushed.
Kyaang-!
“Huh!”
Song Chi-hyun hesitated and stepped back.
‘I’m being pushed out of power?’
Song Chi-hyun boasted a strength of 1,800, but unfortunately, Choi Seong-min’s strength was over 2,300.
It’s not something that can be solved by force.
‘What kind of assassin has this kind of power!’
What made Song Chi-hyun even more flustered was the message that appeared in the corner of his vision.
[You have been poisoned by a deadly poison.]
[Movement speed is reduced by 50% and damage taken increases by 50%.]
[Effect decreases by 5% every 30 seconds.]
[Time left to decipher: 4 minutes 35 seconds]
‘Somehow my steps became slower… …!’
It was dangerous.
If this continues, I will be killed by the assassin right in front of me without even knowing what happened.
Fit- fit-!
“Ugh!”
As time went on, it became difficult to keep up with his attacks.
‘Somehow it feels like the attack speed has gotten faster.’
I tried to read his thoughts by taking advantage of his strengths, but it was no use.
I couldn’t read any thoughts as they fought without any thought or intention.
‘Damn it! Where the hell did this guy come from!’
At that time, only minor wounds were piling up.
[Sword Dancing’s cooldown has returned.]
A welcome message came to mind and Song Chi-hyun used the skill without hesitation.
‘Sword Dancing!’
This time it was perfect.
The timing, the distance, the angle and the range were unavoidable.
but.
Slurp-
‘Shadow-stepping?’
When his sword was embroidering the air.
The opponent slowly rose up from behind and threatened his life.
Phew-
“Keuhaaaaak!”
A dagger was thrust deep into his shoulder.
If I hadn’t barely turned around and given him my shoulder, he would have had a hole in his neck right then and there.
Whoosh- whoosh-
He swung his sword like he was chasing away a fly and made his opponent retreat.
But there’s nothing you can do about the damage that’s already been done to your shoulders.
I couldn’t raise one arm because of the pain.
‘Damn, I only have to use one arm… … .’
Fortunately, the arm holding the sword can still move.
-Oh my, I was aiming for the neck and you avoided it.
The other person’s thoughts, which had been silent, began to be read, as if they were also agitated.
‘You’re wearing a mask so I can’t read your expression… … .’
If you can read thoughts, there is a possibility of a reversal.
-We have to finish it quickly before the poison effect wears off.
Fortunately, the opponent was anxious.
‘You’re afraid of wasting time. You know that once the debuff wears off, you’ll be at a disadvantage. In that case… …!’
Song Chi-hyun’s head turned.
Do Eun-jeong, who had been blankly watching the battle, is startled.
‘I have no choice but to take that woman hostage and buy some time!’
Song Chi-hyun turned around.
I was thinking of catching Do Eun-jeong.
But there was something he overlooked.
‘ah.’
There are 3 minutes and 40 seconds left until the poison is detoxified.
This means that the movement speed is still slowed down by 40%.
‘X haircut.’
The price for Song Chi-hyeon turning his back was great.
Phew-
“Ouch!”
A dagger flew into my back and stuck itself in my back.
A momentary misjudgment led Song Chi-hyeon to the abyss of defeat.
“Hey, this kid!”
I tried hard to swing my sword with my remaining arm.
Swish swish – puff puff –
“Eww! Ow!”
The toothless tiger was no longer a threat.
dump-
Song Chi-hyun knelt down.
Both shoulders, back, forearms, and sides.
In total, dozens of daggers pierced his body.
My body felt like it was deflated, like a balloon without air.
The violent movement caused blood to flow ceaselessly from the carotid artery.
A pool of blood formed below his knees.
“Haa, haa.”
It was a situation where one was literally just waiting for death.
Song Chi-hyun looked at the man in the black mask.
“Before I die… … I want to ask you one thing.”
“… … .”
“Who the hell are you…? Who told you to kill me?”
“… … .”
“Are you an assassin sent by Kwak Min-cheol?”
The man in the black mask turned his head instead of answering.
His body, which was looking at Do Eun-jeong, sank downward.
In an instant, he followed behind Do Eun-jeong.
Thud- thud-
Knock someone out by striking their neck.
“what?”
I was puzzled for a moment, but that only lasted for a moment.
Song Chi-hyun understood the situation as he watched the man trying to take off his mask.
“Aha, do you know that woman? I can understand why she covered her face… … .”
But Song Chi-hyun couldn’t continue speaking after seeing the man’s face.
He just glares at me with disbelief.
“Choi, Choi Seong-min?”
