Kang Taeshik felt as if his face was slapped hard.

Even among Rank-B, he had never lost in speed, and now the man who

following him this introduced himself as Rank-E.

"Who's this motherfucker joking?"

Kang Taeshik gritted his teeth.

'Wait…'

Something disturbed him.

‘If he really is a high ranking Hunter, there is no way he will be here.’

The Hunters working for the Association were basically grieving for the pay.

After all, the Gates that the Association had to clean up were the ones that Guilds or parties missed

private because it is too weak.

Compared to the other Hunters, the Hunters affiliated with the Association were not

it produces a lot and is even looked down upon by most.

So this bastard must be Rank-E.

Who has hidden his true skill.

"Remain, even a fake ranker would not work under the Association"

After all that, Kang Taeshik came to a conclusion.

'... Double Awakening'

Now that he thought about it, he recalled some time ago when the management

the top of the Association excitedly heard the news about the potential for the Double Awakening to occur

in this area.

"They said it was a Hunter affiliated with the Association ..."

Kang Taeshik curses himself, as he realizes that he should remember

the name of Hunter.

If the man delayed his retest, he would still be working in that area as Rank-E.

To think that he would face her now ...

He had thoroughly checked the list of Hunters participating in the Raid today but

did not notice the possibility that the Hunter that experienced Double Awakening as well

being here.

"That's the bad luck I got ..."

He couldn't help but think about it.

"If I knew this, I'd have to ask for more money from that man ..."

Kang Taeshik recalled the events that happened a few days ago and licked his lips.

________________________________________

A few days ago.

A cafe near the Association Head Office.

Kang Taeshik spoke as he sat down.

"Why did you call me?"

The middle-aged man sitting in front of him looked skinny.

"He said he was the president of a company?"

He had never met the man, but after being repeatedly called, Kang Taeshik relented

and decided to meet the man.

The man seemed to be talking to himself,

"I heard that no one would know what was going on inside the Dungeon"

His voice was very small; kang Taeshik had to ask him to explain,

"How's what?"

"This is all the money I've collected."

The man pulled out his savings book from across the table.

Kang Taeshik stared back and forth between the man and the passbook, then picked it up and

checking its contents.

His savings book contained 2 billion won.

"And you gave this to me .. why?"

The man answered Kang Taeshik's suspicious face,

“One of the prisoners under your watch raped my daughter

hung myself after that.My wife fainted from shock and is still hospitalized at this time”

The man spoke with tears on his face.

"And they say the bastard who did that will be free in just a few years ...

How can I sleep after knowing this?"

The man raised his eyes, and his face was filled with anger and sadness.

"I think you know what I mean by this."

The man lowered his head, though,

"Please,Hunter-nim! I beg of you! ”

Silence fell between the two men.

Kang Taeshik leaned back in his chair and thought hard.

After a while, he opened his mouth,

"Do you know why I went to the Hunter Supervision Association Department?"

"Master?"

“As a Rank-B Hunter, I will be considered a high-ranking Hunter.It is not strange to me

to receive offers from the various Guilds.However, do you know why I chose

this poor paid job? ”

"I .. I don't know."

Kang Taeshik's mouth was lifted, the corner of,

"Compared to fighting monsters, I'd rather fight with humans."

To that end, working for HSD was his dream job.

He was able to legally beat up other Hunters.

And sometimes, if they fight too hard ... He couldn't help but

killing them.

‘Cannot ... helped ... pft ... '

Kang Taeshik swallowed his laughter.

"As you asked, it won't be too difficult for me to take care of the insects you mean.

The problem is, there will be other Hunters besides those insects in the Dungeon.Yes, they are all

insects are also for me, but still, what are you going to do about the other Hunters? "

Hearing Kang Taeshik's words, the man frowned in disappointment.

All he wanted was revenge for his daughter.

As if mocking him, Kang Taeshik put on an ugly smile.

"I'll ask for another 1 billion to overcome the other Hunters.Do you want to do that? "

________________________________________

However, if the other Hunters were including the Hunter who experienced Double Awakening, 3 billion would not

will enough.

His life is at stake.

The so-called Rank-E Hunter relieved a large amount of pressure.

He was ready to jump on any opening shown to Kang Taeshik.

The man swallowed his saliva.

"He's not an easy target."

He has the confidence to win.

Even before he became like this, Kang Taeshik had never lost a duel.

Still, it wasn't an easy win.

He might need to change plans a little.

Suddenly, Hunter Rank-E spoke,

"The prisoners .. Why did you kill them?"

they are the beasts that deserve it.What I do

it's killing the beast"

Hunter Rank-E listened to him without speaking.

There might be a way out of this.

Kang Taeshik started acting, though,

"After all this, I really don't want to kill you.Why don't you turn away today

just this? If you promise to keep quiet, I won't touch you guys again ”

Of course, he had no intention of letting them go.

But a direct confrontation here could result in him being injured, and he wanted to avoid it.

He would let them go, then take care of them one by one later.

But Rank-E was laughing, though,

"That's something you have to say before attacking.Now after you failed

in your ambush, will you try and talk your way out of this? "

Yeah, he's not wrong.

Kang Taeshik smiled as well.

"So, it'll be like this anyway."

Then, he would give everything he had for this fight.

Kang Taeshik's eyes were filled with bloodlust.

His eyes quickly scanned the Rank-E Hunter from above and below.

"Where did he get that dagger?"

Before he knew it, Rank-E was already holding a dagger.

"Yes .. whatever."

It doesn't matter where he gets it.

It was just a weapon held.

Kang Taeshik completed his short analysis.

The enemy is a dagger user with a light body, a melee fighter.

His class was probably Assassin.

Incidentally, it was the same as his own class.

But that bastard just got up a moment ago, so the difference in experience

it's gonna be huge.

He would not have the opportunity to show off his skills.

"This Sunbae will teach you a few things."

Kang Taeshik took out a knife from his waist and mocked Hunter Rank-E.

"Can you do something like this?"

Kang Taeshik used that skill, 'Stealth', and his body became invisible.

As it disappeared, Rank-E panicked and looked around.

'Of course.'

The skill of 'Stealth' was not just making it a simple invisibility.

Appearance, sound and smell!

All traces detected by normal human senses would be erased, it was 'Stealth'.

Even among Assassin-class hunters, only a handful of them could use 'Stealth'.

Regardless of their rank, only the lucky ones received this Skill at their Resurrection.

"Surprise,*****!"

Kang Taeshik moved behind Rank-E in an instant.

His back is completely open.

'It's over.'

He expected a great battle, but this was much more boring than he thought.

If the opponent anticipated his 'Stealth' Skill, he might be able to obtain something.

The difference in experience eventually becomes the deciding factor.

'Death!'

Kang Taeshik's knife stabbed straight towards Jin Woo's ribcage.

clang!

Two daggers clashed and blazed.

With his 'Stealth' revealed, Kang Taeshik's eyes widened.

"How's it?"

Rank-E's dagger was blocking his dagger.

Kang Taeshik looked at Hunter Rank-E's face in surprise.

The man opened his mouth with an expressionless face.

"Finally show up."

"What comes up ...?"

Unable to understand Jin Woo's words, Kang Taeshik feels an unknown terror

ambushed him.

[Emergency Quest: Dealing with the Enemy!]

[Those who have killing intent against ‘Player’ have been detected.

Ensure your safety by dealing with these enemies]

[Enemies of Life: 1]

[Enemy Killed: 0]

[Disobedience will result in a penalty]

Jin Woo confirmed the contents of the emergency Quest and heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's not everything for nothing."

He hoped that letting Kang Taeshik take the first step would be

produce emergency Quest, such as when with Hwang Dongseok party.

He tested it to be sure and the results were as expected.

As Kang Taeshik attacked with killing intent, the message appeared.

There was a reason why he rejected the offer and pretended to be panicked.

"Well, I didn't expect to see him use" Stealth "..."

When Kang Taeshik disappeared in front of his eyes, it surprised him a little.

After all, the 'Stealth' skill was a rare sight to behold.

But as Jin Woo concentrates his senses, he can feel the presence of the man even

with eyes closed.

This was his force of stat senses.

In the beginning, he had invested points into it to determine whether he should

fight or run from the enemy, but now he has found another use of that stat.

'I'm lucky.'

And thanks to that, Kang Taeshik was shocked as if he was looking at a ghost.

"How, how are you?"

All that was left was to deal with him and earn the Quest reward.

"If I'm going to fight, maybe I'll get paid for it too"

Turn now.

Time strike.

The two men put strength behind their daggers, trying to push towards

the other.

Their strength is balanced.

"Should I try something else?"

Jin Woo quickly slammed his feet towards Kang Taeshik.

crack!

"Yyoung!"
