With the eyes of a predator looking for prey, Jin Woo shifts his gaze from one Hunter to the next.

Hwang Dongseok swallowed his saliva.

The fact that a dagger appeared out of nowhere in his hand was already shocking, but that

more surprising is the death of Park Joontae.

"How can a Rank-E Hunter kill a Rank-D in one hit?"

Regardless of what tricks he used, he could no longer be underestimated.

They should focus on him.

Hwang Dongseok glanced beside him, "give him one more."

Jo Gyuhwan nodded.

He won't make the same mistake!

His strong hand, once again gathered light within it.

But before he can fire an arrow of light, Jin Woo appears before Jo Gyuhwan.

"Huh?"

Jo Gyuhwan's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Jin Woo's eyes lit up in anger.

"First, a Mage-class Hunter with strong firepower but a weak constitution"

He has made all the calculations.

The dagger was embedded in Jo Gyuhwan's neck.

stab!

coug!

Jo Gyuhwan grabbed his neck and fell down.

thud

"Kill him!"

"Oh !!!"

The man's death marks the start of the fight; all the Hunters attack Jin Woo.

Jin Woo sharpens his senses and focuses on their every move.

The sound disappeared, and time slowed down.

The strength of the agility stat, raised to 38 points, started to become fast.

He blocked and dodged the sword, spear and arrow attacks that came towards him.

The eyes of the Hunters widened,

"How, how could Rank-E move like that?!"

"He's too fast!"

"I can't hit him!"

Their faces turned pale.

Speed is relative.

In their eyes, Jin Woo's movements were extremely fast.

Jin Woo attacks the Hunters, stabbing them one by one.

[Paralysis has been infected]

[Bleeding has been infected]

[Paralysis has been infected]

Casaka's Poisoned Fang pulled out his debuff left and right, making the Hunters fall

in chaos.

"I-I can't move my body! Owp! "

"Magic? Is this magic? "

"This motherfucker!"

[Paralysis has been infected]

[Bleeding has been infected]

[Paralysis has been infected]

"Gee!"

"What, what is he ?!"

"Yyoung!"

Around the room, the screams of the Hunters could be heard.

Five of the enemies around him had already fallen.

ring ~

[Enemies live: 1]

[Enemies dead: 7]

Jin Woo faces the last remaining man.

Hairy man with big body, Hwang Dongseok.

With a steadfast face, he threw away his shield and gathered his energy.

"Waaaah !!!"

He kicked the ground and attacked.

boom boom boom boom!

When he ran, he thought of himself.

He was a Tanker that shone in the upper echelon of Rank-C.

The target was probably a Vanguard.

His movements were fast, but there was no way he would have the strength to pierce through his body,

reinforced with 'Strengthen' Skill'.

"You can't give me a deadly wound with just a dagger!"

The one who will be attacked in their clash is Sung Jin Woo!

He wrestled with his shoulder at close range.

"Strengths!"

The room suddenly revolved around him, and the Dungeon ceiling appeared before his eyes.

A slam!

His head trembled and he felt a tremendous pain in his neck and back.

He tried to get up but his body did not listen.

The struggling Hwang Dongseok sprawled on the ground.

"The cough!"

Blood came out of his mouth.

"Is .... did he just throw me?"

He, Hwang Dongseok, just lost control?

In a power contest?

"Just Rank-E trash like you ..."

He realized his mistake.

5 Raml-C and 4 Rank-D were defeated in an instant.

There's no way Jin Woo is Rank-E.

Jin Woo stands next to Hwang Dongseok.

The man could not even move his body.

The outcome of the fight was clear.

If it's a competitive sport, it's over.

But, this won't end here.

"Tu-wait."

Hwang Dongseok raised his weak hand.

"T-please, let me live.If you want money, I'll give you money.Much of it, you know,

let me live ... "

"Three times."

Jin Woo replied in a cold tone,

"Are you not ashamed to ask forgiveness to someone you are trying to kill

three times?"

One.By blocking the entrance.

Two.By commanding Yoo Jinho.

Three.With Jo Gyuhwan's magic.

Hwang Dongseok has made three attempts to take Jin Woo's life,

ignoring the fight just now.

Give and take.

After returning alive from the sacred temple, Jin Woo has made this grip.

Give as much as he can, and receive as much as he can.

Is it good or bad.

There will be no compromise.

Realizing he could not ask for mercy, Hwang Dongseok opened his eyes

wide and foaming mouth,

"You, you think you're going to get away with it ?! Do you know who my sister is "

Snaps!

Hwang Dongseok could not continue with his words with a shattered neck.

His eyes twisted backwards to reveal their white part.

ring ~

[Enemies live: 0]

[Enemies dead: 8]

[Quest ends]

"Fif-y"

Jin Woo's long breath carries a lot of meaning.

He pulled his hand from Hwang Dongseok's throat and looked at it.

Although it was a one-sided battle, his hands were trembling as he had just picked up

eight human lives.

"Is this really okay?"

He put his hand on his chest and felt his heart.

ba dum ba dum ba dum

It was a normal beat.

'I wish…'

From the day he returned from the sacred temple of the Double Dungeon, perhaps the System was not the only one

But his worries only occurred in a short period of time, plagued by familiar electronic tones.

ring ~

[You have completed 'Emergency Quest: Dealing with the Enemy']

[The reward for completing the search has arrived.]

[Do you want to verify? (Y/T)]

He was expecting this.

Without delay, he confirmed the reward.

"Checking."

ring ~

[You have received the prize below]

[Gift 1. Status Recovery]

[Gift 2. Stat Points +10]

[Gift 3. Skill : ‘Bloodlust’ [2]]

[Thank you all?]

"10 stat points and even a new Skill?"

Jin Woo's eyes widened at the incredible gift.

Putting aside the attribute points, the idea of a new Skill greatly attracted his interest.

'If I don't have a 'Sprint' against spiders ...'

The reason he could defeat the boss was because of his Skill.

Their effectiveness in battle cannot be ignored.

There's a reason why Runestones are so expensive, and that's one of them.

Jin Woo immediately checked the 'Bloodlust' Skill'.

‘Check Gifts 3.’

ring ~

[Blacklust (Lv. 1)]

[Octive skills]

[Which Cost: 100]

[Enable to inflict 'Fear' on target for 1 minute.]

[Some targets can be selected.]

[‘Fear’: All stats -50%]

"Exuding killing intent?"

Although temporary, he had a very desirable power to lower each

target attributes.

Jin Woo is sure it won't work against targets with high resistance, but for them

who doesn't, they'll be easy prey.

In addition, it can affect many targets.

"It's amazing."

Because the punishment is great, the reward is so too.

"Well .. that makes sense, doesn't it?"

His life is at stake this time.

Not only that -

Jin Woo looked around.

He frowned at his slaughterhouse.

He had witnessed the death of many Hunters before, but he was still not used to it

look at their bodies.

This was the result that the Quest wanted.

Compared to the number of lives he took, his reward now seemed small.

Not that he would be able to avoid all of this, even without the Quest.

‘There is no end if it is about human greed ..’

He shook his head.

The cave shook again.

Shaaake!

It was much stronger than before.

It was time to leave the Dungeon.

But there are things to do before you leave.

Yoo Jinho's.

Jin Woo turned his gaze towards the young man.

Yoo Jinho's pitiful form, frozen in fear, directed his gaze toward

down on Jin Woo's gaze.

"What should I do with him ..."

Of course, he did not think of killing Yoo Jinho.

There is no reason or need for it.

But if everything that happened here were to leak out, it would be very troublesome.

"Let's really make sure he'll shut up"

As if given a hint, Yoo Jinho ran forward and knelt in front of Jin Woo,

“Hyungnim! Please let me live! "

"..."

Jin Woo realizes this will be easier than he thought.

________________________________________

Yoo Jinho was shaking heavily.

His face was completely pale.

After all, he had just witnessed Jin Woo slaughtering eight people.

One of the most powerful weapons to command a person is 'fear'.

So Jin Woo decides to use it to his advantage.

"Why should I do that?"

Jin Woo swears if he hears Yoo Jinho's heart-drowning voice.

"Is that too much?"

"M-money-if you need money, I can ask-"

"What are you doing that for?"

Jin Woo flared with a sincere rage.

He lived his entire life in poverty, but he had no intention of using

someone as a hostage to get the money.

If he did that, he would be no different from Hwang Dongseok.

"I'm-I'm sorry."

If Yoo Jinho did not tremble in fear, he would hit him in the back of his head.

But if he did, it felt like the young man would be toppled with an attack

heart, so Jin Woo keeps his hands.

Seeing Jin Woo's hardened expression, Yoo Jinho gulped.

"Now after some thought, he also rejected Hwang Dongseok's offer of money ... Is he

the one who renounces material desires and walks the path of blood and flesh?"

The image of Jin Woo in Yoo Jinho's head becomes different.

But it's too early to decide, though,

"Then why did he collect magic nuclei?"

Moments earlier, Jin Woo was cutting the spider's stomach to grab each

the last part of the magic core.

As a source of great power, magic cores have many uses beyond just making

magic items.

But to a Hunter, they were no different than money.

Yoo Jinho's head turned with his thoughts.

"Then it must be so!"

That is the price of blood.

The reason he had soiled his hands to look at the corpse was because he had fought

with the boss of the spider.

He will have no mercy towards those who oppose him, but he will too

it has nothing to do with what is not obtained by sweat and blood.

True protector of effort.!

"I didn't think I was trying to buy mercy to hyungnim like that with money.

Of course he'll be mad at me"

Then, what he needed now was not his 'father's money', but 'feasibility' for

saved his life.

He glanced at Jin Woo's face, but the man still looked angry.

Yoo Jinho quickly spoke up,

"Hyungnim.If you forgive me, I will give up all the income from the Dungeon

it's to hyungnim."

"Hmm?"

As he expected, Jin Woo was interested.

“Think about that,hyungnim.If nine out of ten people die in this Dungeon,

and hyungnim brings home all the profits, no one will be suspicious, right? "

Yoo Jinho is convinced that Jin Woo is a fake ranker.

Not only that, a powerful fake ranker who enjoyed killing!

Such a person would definitely not want to attract the attention of others.

"Is that?"

"On the other hand, if hyungnim and I leave here together, according to the contract, all the magic nuclei

it will be mine, even with the other eight dead, for there is no benefit

for hyungnim, so that no one will be suspicious"

Of course, no one would suspect Yoo Jinho either.

He was the son of one of the most powerful powerful leaders.

The magic core would have no value to him.

“Of course, the money will be yours,hyungnim.It is 'reasonable price' for killing

hwang Dongseok's party and saved my life"
