SSS - Class Suicide Hunter
Chapter 6's
“Kuk... uk... ugh!”
People always believe that there is a higher chance of waking up while in a life-and-death situation. In fact, such myths have been passed down in the hunter industry from the very beginning.
But maybe it's not a myth, maybe it's real. In fact I have awakened skills just because of having excessive jealousy.
So I stayed alert and shook my knife.
“Hik!”
I'm not going to give this psychopath a chance.
The yoke!
He's gonna die.
“Uh..”.
But what angered me the most, rather than the fact that this psychopath burned me to death just like that, was something that caused anger to burn me more strongly than pain and despair.
“He told me his name.”
Before returning me to the past, before holding my head and lighting it with fire. The Fire Emperor told me something with a smile.
‘But you know who I am, and you saw me kill a Saint so you must die. My name is Yoo Soo-ha. Goodbye to.’
The last thing the madman said. One strange part I couldn't stand. That's so disgusting.
“He told me his name.”
Why did he tell me his name before he killed me. Does he think I don't know what the Fire Emperor's name is?
“He must have thought it was cool.”
Flame Emperor.
That bastard probably thought the sight looked cool. It was as if in a holy duel where the soldiers learned the names of their opponents. This is what the Flame Emperor must have thought when he killed me.
‘Whatever I kill, I do it fairly. So at least I'm not too pushy. ‘
Dare to.
“Like it-.”
How dare a psychopath like you.
Think of something like that.
A man who killed a witness just because he tripped on the scene. A person who pretends to be innocent when he returns to inspect the fire he created. Such a person can no longer be called a human. He is a beast. Demons, even worse than beasts. Who acted cool as if it made him more noble.
“Don't mess with me!”
Puk!
My knife stabbed Yoo Soo-ha in the neck again.
“…”
There's no sound. No screaming, no moaning. Hidden hunting grounds, far from where people would be active.
I looked up at the sky, but my eyes were unfocused and my body was swaying like wild grass in the wind.
He's already dead.
“Ha ha..”
May not be appropriate to say ‘mati’. Yoo Soo-ha is more than just an ordinary hunter, and not just because she's dead.
The man who would become the Fire Emperor someday. A legend who had reached the top of the world rankings. The one who managed to beat 10 floors alone in the tower was unreachable by anyone even after trying for so many years. He was killed by me.
“Hooo..”.
I'm sighing.
“Now I can be a little sane again.”
As I looked back, I heard something coming, probably pulled by the smell of blood.
A group of wolves were crouching among the trees.
Goody…
This is no ordinary wolf. They were carved by what looked like tattoos that could be seen even through their thick hair. These were Meadow Wolves and the more complex the patterns on their bodies, the stronger they were.
Although these Grassland Wolves only had the simplest patterns on their bodies, F-class hunters like me were impossible against them.
“…”
First, I carefully picked up the wallet that Yoo Soo-ha had stolen and backed off.
“You want to eat this guy right?”
I pointed to the body.
“I don't need it. You can have it.”
I took another step back.
‘Asolah.’
The wolf carefully approached the body.
Crack down!
One of the wolves bit, and it seemed to be a signal to those others.
Crack down! Crack down!
Soon the body could not be seen as it was completely covered by the wolf.
“Eat well.”
I hurried away.
‘Is it over now?’
I buried the clothes that had been splattered with Yoo Soo-ha's blood in the deep hole that I prepared before the fight. As I washed my entire body with water from a plastic bottle and changed into new clothes from my backpack, it still did not seep in.
‘Is this really over?’
If my clothes were too clean, people would probably be suspicious of me. So I deliberately rolled on the ground for a while before returning to Babylon, the city on the first floor of the tower.
As I walked to the gate, a guard watched me closely for a moment before yawning and turning around.
‘Ah.’
No one noticed it.
‘It's over.’
Even when I go to the bar and order a beer. Even when I emptied the beer and ordered another beer, no one cared about me. No one knows what I'm doing.
Old news is playing on tavern television.
- Today, the guaranteed strategy for cleaning the 10th floor failed.
- Hunters ranked 2nd and 7th in the world intend to challenge and defeat the 10th floor together …
the voice of protest against the world's number one hunter continues to grow stronger. This was due to the fact that the Sacred Sword still refused to work with others.
No matter how long I wait, there is no news like, ‘A hunter has disappeared on the second floor of the tower.’ But I should have expected that.
Beginner hunters lose their lives every day. No one really cares about the disappearance of a beginner who is alone, no one cares about me.
In other words.
‘It's over!’
“Hei.”
I raised my empty glass high.
“Pour another concept for me!”
“You must have had a lot to drink. Was your hunt good today? ”
“Yes it's good. Very nice!”
Even when I say this, my heart is not yet steady.
I took two or three hours to calm my heart with a beer.
It was only after sunset that I gradually began to accept reality.
‘What should I do now?’
There's a lot to do.
‘I can win the lottery. I'll get the money and no one will be suspicious. Hey, my life is gonna get better! ‘
I opened my status window that could only be seen by myself.
[Name: Kim Gongja}
Rank:
F-Class Skills (2/4):
I Want to Be Just Like You (S +):
Passive Return Needle Watches (EX): Passive
No
There's No
“Kya. Now I'm not even hungry anymore. ”
My status window is like the most delicious food in the world. One class S + skill and EX class skill that I have never heard of. When it comes to food, it's like eating caviar on my steak.
‘If there is someone with better skills than this then they are completely broken.’
But I couldn't stop the warm smile spreading on my face.
‘... But I have no fighting skills.’
Ah…
Why is the human mind like this? The thing I don't have is the thing I pay the most attention to.
The people in the tower were much bloodier than the outside world. To put it simply, the strong eat well, and the weak are meat. It doesn't matter even if you want to escape the tower and live luxuriously in the outside world.
“Those who set foot in the tower will never be able to leave.”
That's rule. Even hunters with S-class teleportation abilities could not get out of the tower. That's not possible.
Only one creature in all of Babylon could interact with the outside world. The Guildmaster of the Shanglian Guild. The only hunter with the title of ‘Halut’.
‘Although, they can only send and receive something from the outside world, they cannot go directly.’
Anyone can get in, but no one can get out.
This means that those who enter have abandoned their wealth, their relationships, their nationality, their identity. Maybe even their humanity.
“Indeed.”
Of course, I was one of those people.
“Eat or be eaten, that's the law in tower.”
Alcohol made me a little drunk and I couldn't help but mumble. I want to be successful so much that it drives me crazy. There is a reason why I idolize the Fire Emperor so much. Is it because of his personality? Does that person have something that can be called personality?
No, the reason is much simpler. I am envious of his success. The achievement is fascinating, amazing.
“Let's succeed Kim Gong-ja. Ok? What can a man who dies 4090 times not do? Time for success.. ”.
Later then.
Jallang up!
The bell at the front door of the tavern rang.
I don't care who came in at first. After all, how amazing was a hunter who came to such a place to drink.
But the people in the tavern started chatting.
“Hey, that guy over there..”.
“What? Really?”
“Why is he in a place like this?”
Surprisingly, the bar became silent as if everyone was afraid to breathe.
At this point it would be strange if I wasn't curious. So, I turned to look. Standing there was an old man wearing an expensive-looking black suit.
Um.
The man was dressed as if he had just come home from work. He was wearing a white shirt and a red tie with no pattern. If one were to see this man, he could not help but think,
‘When I return to the outside world.’
The man looked like an office worker in general, but there was one thing that stood out. On his feet were bright red sneakers.
Not shoes. Sneakers.
‘Wow, what kind of fashion sense is that?’
The difference is very striking. But it's not just his clothes that are weird.
“Susu?”
“Iya.”
“Please add vodka and sugar to a glass of warm milk. In fact, it would be better if you use honey instead of sugar. ”
The owner of the tavern was embarrassed by the strange order.
“Uh. I am not a bartender.. ”.
“I will pay the required amount. Don'worry. ”
The owner of the bar hesitated. The other customers muttered softly, all of them still looking at the old man.
This guy seems pretty famous.
‘Who is this?’
My eyes narrowed a little.
‘Any, I can't seem to remember someone like this.’
Although I am not proud of it, there might not be another human being that envies top-ranked hunters like me. So naturally, I could say every name from rank 100 to rank 2. All because of my jealousy.
Even then, this old man in the suit, was someone I didn't know.
‘Sepertinya aku pernah melihatnya di suatu tempat sebelumnya. Di mana saya melihatnya? Dimana?’
It came to me after thinking for a long time.
‘Ah!’
I remember in my room. Among the fragments that were stuck to the wall. There is a picture of this old man.
[22 days since the disappearance of the Holy Sword. Will the Hunter Association face its worst crisis?]
‘That Holy Sword!’
I'm recalling. This is the most famous person before Yoo Soo-ha was known as the Fire Emperor.
I forgot because he was a long-lost hunter. It is difficult to remember the hunters who have been active more than 10 years ago.
I didn't know what to think, seeing someone I knew about to disappear.
‘Ah benar… sekarang sudah bertahun-tahun yang lalu.’
I finally, really feel that I have gone back in time.
‘This person will soon become the strongest in the world .. Even the Fire Emperor must admire him.’
What an incredible feeling. Even though I knew it was just an excuse, I continued to stare at the Sacred Sword. What am I supposed to do? It was strange to see such a great man in front of me, even if he had long since died. Anyway, it's pretty weird.
‘Hei. Doesn't this senior have an S rank skill? ‘
A thought flashed through my head as I drank my beer.
‘Not a strange skill like me either, but an actual combat skill ..’
At that moment.
Uh?’
My hand moved without me noticing. Suddenly, my S rank skill appeared in front of me.
[I Want to Be Like You.]
Rank: S +
Effect:
→ Automatically activated after death.
→ After being killed by the enemy, copy one of their skills and make it yours.
→ Skills cannot be copied from the target who has killed you before.
→ Copied skills selected at random.
→ However, you are dead!
Wait a minute.’
The feeling was like being struck by lightning. The same sensation I felt when I finally found a way to kill the Flame Emperor filled my body.
[I Want to Be Like You.]
Keterampilan ini luar biasa. Dengan itu, Anda dapat menyalin keterampilan apa pun dari pemburu mana pun. Namun satu-satunya kelemahan adalah Anda harus mati dulu.
Yet.
‘I don't stay dead.’
Because I have other skills.
[Hour Hand Returner’s Clockwork.]
Rank: EX
Effect:
→ Automatically activated after death.
→ Back 24 hours before death.
→ Memories and capabilities are retained even after return.
→ However the higher the rank of hunter, the greater the punishment.
→ Skill copied from Hunter Yoo Soo-ha.
‘Then.’
The cold was on my back.
‘Can I copy anything? A hunter who takes things by dying? ‘
The pressure of having to kill Yoo Soo-ha has caused this fact to avoid me all this time but I finally realized it. (TL: It took quite a while, I wonder when he will hit the old man's sword)
‘The Sword Saint, the strongest in the world in the present era.’
Gulp down.
I swallowed the beer I had forgotten in my mouth.
The Flame Emperor who was also considered the strongest in his time, had outstanding regression skills. So this Holy Sword, which towered the world before him disappeared. What kind of skills did this great person possess?
Isn't that as good as Yoo Soo-ha's skills?
‘If I can copy it ..’
I stared hard at the old man's back.
‘Jackpot.’
Might as well…
My hunt is not over.
