Evolution Theory of the Hunter

Step. Step.

I went towards Han Jung-ho. He hurriedly got into stance.

While his line of sight was on me, the Dancing Sword flew aiming at his back.

He would have noticed it normally but his mind was half gone right now. He was in a state where he wouldn’t have imagined an attack from the back.

“Hah!”

At that moment, a person wearing a blue martial artist uniform came out and swung his sword.

Blue martial arts clothes, Martial Artist Longsword. Also, the familiar looks.

It was Wee Oong-bee.

He clashed with the Aura Blade covered Dancing Blade with good vigor.

I was excited while looking wondering if he would actually be able to block that.

With a eardrum destroying sound the Martial Artist Longsword shattered into pieces.

Wow. That was still a level 6 item. And it gets destroyed with a single hit?

Hm?

Han Jung-ho and Wee Oong-bee were knocked back with blood spraying from their entire body. Looking now, it seems the shrapnel from the broken sword shot towards them. Thanks to that the Dancing Sword missed them but it was hard to say if it was actually a thankful thing for them.

“Kuk…… what in the world is this…….”

Han Jung-ho who had been done in without knowing what was going on had a flustered expression.

“…… That weapon. What is it?”

I could hear Wee Oong-bee’s voice translated.

I was too lazy to wear the interpretation hat separately so i had combined it into the manual.

I sat down on the Dancing Sword as a chair after calling it back.

“I didn’t think that the two of you would be together. I’m quite curious about what happened in that time you know?”

“…….”

However, the two only glared at me without answering.

Did I ask in vain? Certainly, they probably weren’t in a mood to just talk about such things.

I held up my smartphone.

They looked at me as if wondering what I was going to do. Nice composition.

Click.

“The fact that you are cooperating with the Chungho Group is proved with this.

“This bastard……?”

Han Jung-ho grinded his teeth. What are you going to do about it.

I had a light smile on my face as I started talking with a calm voice.

“If you tell me about the things that have happened until now, I will make it so that this picture doesn’t exist. If there’s a plan that I don’t know then that’s even better.”

“Bullshit!”

Wee Oong-bee shouted at me with a rough voice. Normally, there was no one that would conciliate on such terms.

However, wouldn’t they still try to hold onto a silver lining on death’s door?

Han Jung-ho opened his mouth.

“Kuk. Are you thinking that I would kneel to a noob like you?”

“No, you’re kneeling right now in the first place.”

His face turned red at my words.

He had on leg kneeling with his body half up right now. He wasn’t in a condition to stand on both feet and it would probably affect his pride too much if he completely collapsed.

Either way, the negotiation broke down. I didn’t really expect much in the first place though.

Han Jung-ho started talking to Wee Oong-bee.

“It will be difficult like this.”

“Damn it…….”

The two’s eyes met and Wee Oong-bee raised his hand as if there was no other choice.

And then.

A rain of arrow poured down on me.

The ground got turned over as it exploded and the surrounding was covered in dust and flames.

There was an ambush as I thought.

The dust cleared up and Han Jung-ho’s voice could be heard.

“Is he dead?”

“No, there’s no corpse.”

I was hiding in the forest a few dozen meters away from my original position.

I didn’t have Soo-ah’s buff so my reflex was only at 750% but it wasn’t to the point that I couldn’t avoid the arrows. I could even dodge bullets if I wanted.

“Damn. Rat like bastard.”

“All of you look for him! If we don’t get him then the mission will be a failure!”

As Wee Oong-bee shouted roughly the entire forest in a several hundred meter radius started shaking.

That meant that there were people hiding in all those trees. How many in the world were waiting in ambush?

There was no chance of winning against those guys all at once no matter how many monster I summoned.

However, this was the forest region.

On top of that, it was a place that they had picked due to being the best place to ambush.

The trees were more densely packed and it wasn’t a good condition to fight in large numbers.

There were traps that they had dug up they would be traps that lead them towards hell on their own.

Just one moment. A thought crossed my mind.

Would it be alright to kill all these guys?

Pft.

It was a funny thought.

I am a hunter.

And, a hunter does not let their enemy live.

164 monster came pouring out.

The type was numerous too. Earth Worm, Grey Wolf, Tutulips, Giggle Monkey, Sniffer, Sharp Beak Eagle…… (Kyle: Sniffer was 2x sfx for sniffing and turned into a noun.)

Also, the strongest among them were the two level 5 Giant White Tigers.

The large unit of monsters filled the small area completely.

They were all nightmare like monster, none more fearsome than the other.

The monsters that were scary to just hear the breathing of were standing closely together.

I could feel that they were all waiting for me to open my mouth.

Monster army.

I opened my mouth towards the nonhuman battle squad worth 90b.

“Let’s start the hunt.”

Their roar shook the woods.

I kicked off the ground and got on the Giant White Tiger.

“Growl!”

“Stay still. You.”

He started purring with his head down one I stroked his fur.

A tiger was definitely better than a horse as something to ride.

I who was on the back of the Giant White Tiger took the lead as I swung the Dancing Sword at every enemy I saw as I crossed the forest.

Every time I swung my sword in midair, it cut through three or four bodies.

“Ahhh!”

“Save me!”

“It, it’s monsters!”

“Impossible! What is this!”

The Chinese screams stimulated my ears.

I didn’t know how many there were waiting to ambush here. However, the guys scattering to find me were too good of a feed for my monster army.

“Ahhh!”

Dozens of lives disappeared everytime the monster army passed by.

They were mostly level 3 hunters.

There were some good ones among them from time to time but there weren’t many. There was a reason Han Jung-ho had taken so much effort to create this trap.

As the government team had confidence in, they certainly would have been able to win in a face to face battle even if they lacked the numbers.

However, it wasn’t like all of them were like that.

“Stop!!”

There was a hunter blocking the way of the monster army while spreading a powerful aura.

He had his hair tied and was wearing a grey robes that made him seem like he came straight out of a Chinese novel. He was sending a cold aura towards me while pointing his sword at me.

Name : Dan Mok-ju

Skill Name : Moonlight Sword Style (6)

Additional Technique : Moonlight Slash, a power and fast crescent moon form slashing attack.

Thirteenth Month, 13 continuous attacks with no time to rest.

Proficiency : 63

Equipment : Four Arts Sword (7) (The length of the blade can be changed at will) , Grey Shamanist Clothes (5) (Technique proficiency increases by 20)

It was quite the surprising numbers.

It could be said that he was stronger than Wee Oong-bee purely looking at the profile. A level 7 swords and a level 6 skill.

The proficiency wasn’t that high but it was true that it was giving off an incredible vibe.

The monster army that was knocking down the enemies in high spirits couldn’t attack this guy.

I threw the Dancing Sword towards him.

The heavy sword rushed at Dan Mok-ju with Aura Blade on it.

He seemed to have felt the extraordinary strength on it as his face stiffened up. However, he held up his sword high seemingly having no intention of dodging.

He had good vigor.

Boom!

“Kuhk!”

His body was knocked back like a kite with a cut string. The Four Arts Sword stabbed into his side after he collapsed.

“Uehk!”

Dan Mok-ju who barely got up threw up a mouthful of blood.

Wee Oong-bee had deflected the Dancing Sword while this guy was able to completely block it.

Even if he coughed up blood, he definitely couldn’t be seen as below Wee Oong-bee in ability.

How many guys did the Chungho Group have at this guy’s level?

Spit.

The guy spit out spit mixed with blood and glared at me.

Even while swaying only his eyes were clearly alive.

“…… I will fight seriously from now on.”

“Sorry but I have no time to on just you.”

I said so as I threw the Dancing Sword once more. He avoided the sword that was recharged with Aura Blade by twisting his head.

The huge tree behind him got destroyed. A moan escaped Dan Mok-ju’s mouth. There probably wasn’t much damage since it was right next to him.

He looked at the returning Dancing Sword and swung his sword at it.

I took out the Hunter Greatsword from the manual while kicking off of the giant tiger’s back.

The Dancing Sword behind, me at the front. The guy’s attention was instantly dispersed.

“Sorry but I don’t have just one weapon.”

“…… Thirteen Months.”

At that moment, sword auras burst out with him as the center.

A total of 13 powerful auras. An attack skill used with a level 7 weapon was certainly powerful.

However.

The Dancing Sword stabbed him after penetrating his sword aura.

“Urk…….”

It might have ended differently if he had avoided or deflected but his defeat was decided the moment he decided to fight head on.

He also made the mistake of splitting his sword aura into two.

He split the thing that was already difficult to block into two so he had no choice but to pay the price with his life.

“You bastard…….”

Blood flowed in reversed from his mouth.

[+700]

Seeing how 700 points came in it seems Dan Mok-ju was treated as a level 7 hunter.

I collected the Four Arts Sword on the ground. Even so, as expected of a level 7 it didn’t break or crack.

It was chipped a bit but that much wasn’t a big problem. I just had no not sell it and give it to Jong Sa-won.

He was a guy that was good at using dual wielding so there was probably no problem.

Dan Mok-ju wasn’t the only powerful hunter. I had cut down at least 3 hunters similar to him and the number of Chungho Group members killed by the monsters numbered hundreds. The amount of time to do that much was only about 10 minutes.

“Everyone fall back!”

Then, after grasping the situation belatedly, someone commanded the retreat order.

I was thinking that it was probably Wee Oong-bee.

Branches shook violently. The footsteps of the Chungho Group running away sounded like a wave crashing.

“Everyone pursue!”

I commanded in a loud voice.

The monster cried out and rushed forward all at once. I was maintaining the formation until now since we could receive a counterattack but it wasn’t like that now.

There was no need to be careful against guys that were running away with rock bottom morale.

It was a lesson I learned from Han Jung-ho’s business. Not letting the enemy leave alive.

It might be different if it didn’t start but if I raised my hand then I had to give maximum damage.

Also, I rode the Giant White Tiger looking around for Wee Oong-bee and Han Jung-ho. It wasn’t difficult to locate them. I was checking their location by flying to eagles in the air.

The two of them were currently moving separately. It probably meant that they were running away in different directions.
