Human Hunter -3-

The magic chip that was prepared when entering the shopping mall.

I broke it in one breath.

Light surrounds me and moves me through space.

After jumping several dozen meters, the bullet lodged itself uselessly behind me.

“Are you there?”

Kick the ground.

Run with all your might.

Hurrruk!

As luck would have it, a burning gas station was right in front of us.

Going back far?

There was no time for that.

The snipers and human hunters will already be moving.

If I’m even a minute late, they’ll take up a different position and snipe me.

Or run away.

I can’t stand seeing that.

He lifted his lips up in a pout.

I changed my traits and boldly jumped into the fire.

[Fire Resistance][Perseverance][Einherjar Technique]

[Run][Leap][Black Flame]

Just before the flames engulf me.

It flew up, blooming black flames.

Hwaaaaak!

The world turns red.

The hot air enveloped me.

But it’s bearable.

Because the black flame primarily filtered it out, and the flame resistance and endurance blocked it. It was like that even though it wasn’t a normal flame, but a flame that burned as oil was combusted.

I held my breath and ran for only a few seconds.

We passed through the hellish gas station and the nearby fire, arriving at the other side of the street.

Just a stone’s throw away from the five-story building where the reflected light was visible.

As if it had been waiting, the light flashed again.

bang!

“laugh!”

There was no time to think.

Almost instinctively, he changed his traits and bent his body.

[Evasion][Movement]

My body is completely twisted.

I moved vertically as if ignoring inertia, and my hair flew about as I swayed gently.

I felt a sudden shock.

A bullet passed through my hair.

I got goosebumps, my blood rushed to my head, and my head got hot.

“There you are!”

Reboot.

Leap forward.

Towards the five-story building. Towards the rooftop, which appears high from the ground.

I flew like a bird taking flight.

You can’t jump over a five-story building in one breath.

Instead, he entered by breaking the glass window on the third floor, halfway up.

Wow!

The glass breaks loudly.

I rolled on the floor, my eyes glaring.

[Insight]

Combined with the helmet’s detection capabilities, it instantly determines the status of the third floor.

There are no traps.

As soon as I realized it, I ran quickly.

Cross the 4th floor and go over the 5th floor to reach the rooftop.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Open the rooftop door and throw a grenade.

The installed traps were triggered, spraying red flames in all directions.

Soy bomb trap.

He is a human hunter after all.

It was moving exactly as it was shown in the game.

‘Where did you go?’

I quickly looked around.

The goggles adjust the brightness, but there is no longer any sign of life.

I left the place when I entered the third floor.

As I leaned in to examine it more closely, a cold warning licked the back of my neck.

Tututututu!

“Huh!”

If it weren’t for the sense of crisis, I would have died.

You weren’t even equipped with insight.

As soon as I bent down, a bullet came flying.

A crisp gunshot that scrapes away at the enemy completely.

A sharper, lighter sound, different from a rifle shot.

It’s a machine gun!

If it’s exposed there, it can’t be blocked even with a magic shield.

It’s going to break just like when it was hit by concentrated fire earlier.

Should I use a magic shield?

No. The magic shield consumes too much magic power. Let’s try another method instead.

Click.

He took out the grenade and removed the safety pin.

Tututututu!

Listen to the gunshot and calculate the distance and direction.

Exactly in front.

The distance is surprisingly close.

At most 20 meters ahead.

After calculating thoroughly, he threw them one after another.

[Throw]

With the trait equipped.

Swish! Swish! Ss …

Five grenades thrown in succession!

There was a response within minutes.

The world turned white as a flash of light burst out.

After a while, a puff of white smoke rises along with a popping sound.

One flash grenade, four tear gas canisters.

This alone does not subdue the human hunter.

Because human hunters wear helmets with goggles and gas masks like me.

Still, it might obstruct your view.

The goggles are supposed to block it, but the flashbangs are only slightly effective, and it’s impossible for a human hunter to see through the smoke created by tear gas canisters.

Knock! Knock!

Ran.

I ran out equipped with sprint, maneuver, jump, and dash.

Tututu!

The bullet flies but leaves the attack area.

Bullets are chasing me.

A clothesline-like flare is approaching.

My heart raced as I saw the orange beam of light reaching just within arm’s reach.

So just before it pierces my body.

It flew up powerfully.

“Eww!”

In fact, jumping into the air is suicidal.

Because you can no longer perform evasive maneuvers.

Was that why?

Flinch, the flare’s stem snapped.

A moment of silence.

The human hunters will definitely be targeting me.

But I was faster.

The location of the human hunter revealed by the flare.

Aim your rifle at it.

Change characteristics in real time while floating in the air.

[Shooting][Aiming][Sniping]

[Concentration][Deep Breath][Insight]

Concentration is heightened.

My head is hot and my vision is blurry.

All that is visible is one dot.

A blurry shadow seen through the scope.

It was a long, dark gun with a barrel sticking out, covered in camouflage.

Human hunter!

Taang!

Who came first?

What is certain is that the moment I pulled the trigger, the camouflage flap shook violently and a stream of black liquid shot out.

Tutututu!

Human hunters counterattack.

Orange flares hit my entire body.

But right after the shot I changed the trait.

The magic shield swelled up so much that it blocked the bullet.

A machine gun that was badly misaimed due to the impact of the hit.

A few shots were lucky enough to hit me, but immediately after, the zero points dispersed and scattered in all directions.

My magic shield can’t be broken like this.

Landing after what felt like an excruciatingly long flight.

The traits were changed like lightning.

My body feels lighter.

With one step he kicked off the ground and was already halfway across the roof of the building, with two he reached the railing of the roof, and with three he flew up and crashed into the building where the human hunters were.

“Rain, damn it!”

The human hunter screams like a bird.

He calmly aimed the rifle and pulled the trigger.

Tata Tang!

But it went astray.

That’s because the human hunter pulled out just before the gun fired.

A truly acrobatic move, where you do a back flip while lying face down.

No, it’s physically impossible.

This movement is possible while standing, but impossible while lying down.

There is only one thing that can explain this.

[Exit] characteristics.

It was one of the starting traits of the human hunter.

[Sniping] and [Escape].

As a side note, level 3 human hunters recruited through quests rather than draws have [Preparation] and [Trap] added.

“Eat and get out!”

The human hunter took something like a jewel out of his belt and threw it.

A lump of glass with a soft yellow glow.

It breaks when it hits the spot where I’m going to land first, and a three-dimensional magic circle is instantly created.

Me being sucked into a three-dimensional magic circle.

I wasn’t flustered.

I don’t know what kind of trap it is.

He fired his rifle to keep the human hunters at bay, then threw the empty rifle away without a second thought.

Pfft!

The 3D magic circle is working.

Almost simultaneously, the pistols were pulled out.

The magical power stored in the ring awakens the magic gun, and the three-dimensional magic circle emits a brilliant flash of light.

With a thud, the human hunter lands.

He aims the machine gun at me with a skilled hand.

It was the timing I was waiting for.

It was just like a game.

Both the behavioral patterns and the time it takes to digest the patterns.

As a result, I completely took away the human hunter’s time.

Push!

Black flames rushed out as if charging.

A small, bean-sized beam of light struck the human hunter.

That heart.

The point where the bulletproof vest is particularly thick and the defensive magic artifact is activated, making it appear to be subtly refracted.

The human hunter stopped dead in his tracks.

I can see my body stiffening.

The machine gun that was just aimed at me starts shaking.

A scream erupts within.

“Kwaaaaak!”

A scream that feels like being stabbed with an awl.

At this point, the trap magic circle was activated.

The concrete rooftop I was standing on turned into a swamp, sucking me in.

In addition, stalactites grew and wrapped around my body.

Earth attribute trap magic.

This was the human hunter’s specialty.

First, tie them up and shoot them with machine guns or bombs.

But now that he’s been hit by the black flames, he won’t have the presence of mind to do that.

“Kwaaak! Kwaaak!”

The human hunter shoots the machine gun while screaming.

Bullets flew in all directions.

Aiming a gun while burning is nothing short of a miracle.

It is not for nothing that the self-immolation of Vietnamese monk Thich Quang Duc brought shock to the world.

Shin Yeol doesn’t even have a clear mind, but Heuk Yeom doesn’t have anything like that.

“Whew!”

I took a deep, heavy breath.

I’m already knee-deep in concrete.

The stalactites were so tightly wrapped around my torso and arms that it was difficult to move them.

If you let your guard down and get hit by a stray bullet, you’ll be in trouble.

[Magic Shield][Patience][Resolution]

Reduces magical damage with three characteristics.

[Strength][Super strength]

With these two traits, you can slowly get out of the swamp.

My right hand glove was sucking blood and my belt was glowing, helping me.

[purification]

Any earth attribute magic that has invaded your body will be destroyed with this.

Moving forward calmly, struggling through the concrete swamp.

I got out in about ten seconds.

The human hunter who poured holy water and activated the artifact to extinguish the black flame looks at me with a trembling body.

“f*ck you!”

There is no machine gun.

The reason I threw it away without realizing it while struggling.

He touches the pistol and machine gun on his belt and runs away.

In the opposite direction from me.

By setting magic traps one after another.

There was no need to rush.

I chased after him calmly.

The magic traps are placed in exquisite locations, but they are ignored.

I just got hit with my body.

Because it exquisitely mixed speed, dash, leap, and rush, it was quite fast even when caught in a magic trap.

There was another, bigger reason though.

[Earth resistance]

This very characteristic.

Because of my newly acquired trait, I was able to escape from traps in 2 or 3 seconds.

If the human hunter had been fast, or at least able to run or accelerate, he could have escaped, but all he had was a way to escape the crisis.

Is it because I chase after it earnestly?

A red arrow appeared in my vision, pointing at the human hunter.

[Tracking] characteristics.

Now the human hunters can’t escape me.

“f*ck! Die!”

Tata tata tang! Bang tang!

Kwakwakwang!

The human hunters are driven by evil and fight back.

Machine gun fire.

Pistol shooting.

Throw a grenade.

It all meant nothing.

Because I believed in the strong magic shield and went at it openly.

The grenade was a threat, but I have insight.

When the human hunter tried to pull out the safety pin, he fired his pistol repeatedly to prevent him from throwing it properly.

A body that has already tasted heat once.

The Holy Water artifacts must have run out too.

Eventually, the human hunter was cornered without any effective counterattack.

On the rooftop of a commercial building along the main street.

On the other side, there is an overly wide street.

There is an apartment complex next door that is absolutely impossible to climb up to.

In the back is a small elementary school playground.

There is no more corner to escape to when parkouring.

The human hunter glanced back, shrugged his shoulders, and laughed.

“Ehhhhh······ Hahahaha!”

Crunch.

I took the shotgun out of my golf bag and loaded it.

“What about the will?”

“f*ck······”

The human hunter’s hands tremble.

There will be nothing left.

You’ll probably use guns, bombs, traps, and consumables.

In this case, the human hunter exhibits one of two behaviors.

Last stand or surrender.

“Hoooo.”

A human hunter who takes a deep breath.

“Can I have one last cigarette?”

“as you please.”

The human hunter put his trembling hands into the breast pocket of his bulletproof vest.

What he took out from there was a thick cigar.

Take off the gas mask.

He also rips off his goggles and throws them away.

The face of a middle-aged man who has been through the ups and downs of life, which he only shows when he takes certain actions.

A wrinkled face chews on a cigar.

Take out the lighter and light it.

Five-colored magic lights sparkle and turquoise magic smoke rises in clumps.

A human hunter sucking on a cigar as if it were truly delicious.

I counted to five in my head and asked.

“Is it delicious?”

“hmm?”

“Is it delicious?”

“Oh, of course it’s delicious. It’s so damn delicious. It’s so delicious that it’ll hit the back of your head deliciously!”

The human hunter spits a cigar.

The cigar soars into the air.

It spins around once or twice, spewing out magical light and magical smoke at will.

Along with that, the human hunter’s body stiffens.

The pupils shrank to a point and the mouth was torn open.

An obvious mutation phenomenon.

But there we are forced to stop.

bang!

Because of this one gunshot.

Because of the bullet I fired after counting to ten in my head.

“uh······”

The human hunter looks down at his chest.

The hole was gaping.

A large-caliber slug bullet passed through.

There is no heart in a hole.

There is only a lot of crushed flesh and blood dripping down.

“What is this······ What is this······”

The heart is where mutation begins.

The very center of the mutant.

The magic core isn’t created in the heart for nothing.

If it was after the mutation was complete, then it might be okay, but if it was just starting, it could be finished with one shot.

“Kreuk, keuk, keuk.”

The body begins to disintegrate.

The skin and muscles were all flowing away and separating from the bones.

I squatted down in front of him and said.

“I would rather surrender.”

“Ugh, ugh.”

“Then I would have spared you.”

I was sincere.

He is a so-called R-rated superhuman.

And he doesn’t betray you later.

It’s also perfect for just showing off your abilities.

Is there any reason to kill him?

The human hunter raised his head.

Covered in blood, he desperately opens his mouth.

“Ugh, ugh, my, my brothers, you, you······”

“Oh, I know.”

After all, it’s my food.

I know how they will attack, what traits they have, and what abilities they have.

“Goodbye.”

A human hunter dying in agony.

He showed his last mercy.

bang!

The shotgun is firing.

A headless corpse fell forward.
