Seonghyeon smiled inwardly as she approached the person who had fallen.
‘I’m going to look at my co-workers, but he doesn’t come?’
What could be the reason for that?
Why can’t you come this way?
Seong-hyun raised his vigilance to the highest level and arrived near the man.
I was trying to check the man’s condition, but it was as expected.
As if the ground had been dug right in front of the man, the floor went out as soon as he took the last step.
“yes?”
But Seong-hyeon did not fall into the trap.
Because I was expecting such a trap to exist in the first place.
The most convenient environment for killing other hunters is to upset the opponent’s balance and make them vigilant.
The most effective way to do this was to disable the opponent’s legs.
“What, what? Why didn’t you fall?”
As if he was sure of success, the man who stood up as soon as Seong-hyeon stepped into the position of the trap looked at Seong-hyeon with curious eyes.
“hey! come fast! He caught my eye!”
“yes.”
But the man was not at all embarrassed.
Rather, it seemed more welcome that Seong-hyun avoided the trap.
“If you notice this trap… of course you will have quite a few. right?”
“yes. I think so.”
The man who was waiting in the back approached without panic at all at the call of his colleague.
‘There seems to be no other traps.’
“But you don’t look strong at all, how did you know?”
“A person with a good sense of humor.”
He said it felt good, but he did not limit himself.
It seemed that they were probably full of confidence in their abilities.
“Hurry up and let’s go. Still, I’m glad I had one today.”
“okay.”
The two yawned, then pulled out a sword from their arms and pointed it at Seong-hyeon.
“It’s a bit of a cliche, but if you give out everything you have, I’ll give you life.”
“So do I.”
To be honest, Sunghyun only laughed at this situation.
It didn’t matter what abilities these two had or how strong they were.
‘It’s like.’
They were not weak, but rather, they belonged to the strong side.
It was proving that it was enough to set up a trap in this door where the strongest demons came out of the open doors.
But seeing how strong Seong-hyeon was, they were never strong enough to feel threatened.
“Um… you don’t seem to want to give it up?”
“Let’s kill it.”
The man who had just pointed his sword took a stance.
Seonghyeon was also about to move to prepare for the battle that would start soon.
Because there was this man in front and the man who lured him in the back, so he could be attacked back and forth.
‘Well?’
But his feet didn’t move.
There was no feeling of numbness or weight in the popliteal area.
As if caught by something, I checked my feet and found that they were wrapped in something unidentified.
‘It’s the right ability to deal with the Hunter.’
It was the ability of the man right in front of him.
If one foot collapsed and lost balance due to the trap, the other foot could also be tied up and dead without being able to do anything.
‘What about the rest of the abilities?’
Seong-hyeon did not try to force his immobile foot off.
For now, the priority was to understand the ability of the man behind him.
“Goodbye.”
The man with his feet tied didn’t seem to have the will to attack Seong-hyeon.
The expression and attitude as if there was no need to attack.
Seonghyeon, who glanced at the man for a moment, immediately bowed his head at the cool sensation he felt behind him.
Even though he quickly bowed his head, his hair was being cut and falling in front of his eyes.
‘Is it speed related?’
I thought that Seonghyeon’s ability could dodge any number of attacks now, but the attack just before was such an attack that if it had been Inhwan and Sangyeon, it could cause injuries.
‘Is this enough to make a living by killing?’
“Wow, did you avoid this?”
“It doesn’t look like it’s floating.”
Seonghyeon used the momentary gap to strike down the unknown thing that was binding her feet with the sword she was holding.
“Haha, hitting it with a sword will solve it…”
“It has been released.”
Sunghyun didn’t even give him a break.
It was enough to get my feet tied up once.
Not knowing when he might get tied up again, Seonghyeon rushed to the man in front of him.
“No.”
However, just before the sword reached, the piles of stones that had just bound their feet appeared in the air and blocked the attack instead.
“Did you see him as a confident friend in close quarters?”
“me too. I have confidence.”
“Oh, what wind blows you to be aggressive?”
“I. face it.”
The man took another dagger from his pocket and held it.
The figure holding the dagger in both hands was the figure of an assassin without fail.
‘This is an opportunity.’
I have never faced such an opponent before.
In the confrontation, there were some parts where the opponent was vigilant, and they were not hunting hunters like this, but the fighting method was very different.
‘Let’s assume there are no stigmata.’
Seonghyun closed his eyes for a moment and repeated it as if he was hypnotizing.
If you subconsciously thought that it was okay to have the stigma ability, it seemed that you would not be able to take advantage of the opportunity you have now.
“you. strong one. But I win.”
After the man finished speaking, he immediately rushed to Seonghyeon.
‘It’s also fast.’
He boasted the fastest speed he’d ever faced, but his attack didn’t feel light.
It was a movement that seemed to know very well how to use power effectively.
The attack path was also quite sharp.
Instead of attacking two daggers in the same direction, it felt as if two people were attacking.
“how. Are you blocking it?”
Even the man who had been speaking with an expressionless expression until recently had his eyebrows wrinkled little by little as he seldom attacked.
“The attack is slow, so we’re blocking it.”
“…kill.”
Seonghyeon’s remarks seemed to hurt his pride, so the man grunted and sharpened his teeth.
“Wow… it’s the first time I’ve seen such a close encounter with him.”
The man who was watching the battle from behind was watching the two of them fight with his mouth open.
Until now, not many people have been able to resist the attacks of their comrades.
No, there wasn’t.
If he lured as planned, one foot fell into a trap, and the other foot was tied with his ability, he could not react and his neck fell as it was.
“Still…will you win?”
The relaxed smile that had just been there before was already gone.
A slight negligence of either of them seemed to have a fatal effect on the result.
“…”
The man looked at Sunghyun carefully.
At this point, it was obvious that he would be a little tired from being pressed by his speed, but Seonghyeon, reflected in his eyes, seemed more energetic than exhausted.
“What are your abilities?”
“Are you asking a question, thinking you’re going to tell me?”
“…I will tell you about my abilities.”
“…”
He seemed to be a bit of an odd-minded person.
In the middle of a battle, he suddenly reveals his abilities, so please let us know.
“My ability is acceleration.”
“Acceleration?”
Somehow, the more he battled, the faster he seemed to get, but he had a pretty decent ability.
“okay. What are your abilities?”
“Healing.”
“…What?”
At the word healing, the man made an expression he had never shown before.
It was the same with the man watching from behind.
“Chi, healing? Is that a lie?”
“expression. It’s not a lie.”
“…her.”
The man’s expression hardened beyond comparison with before.
If that statement is true, the hunter in front of me now was a more difficult hunter to deal with than any other hunter.
It wasn’t just the rarity of abilities.
Thanks to the owner of the healing ability, the national ranking has risen, but what if such a hunter suddenly dies?
The investigation into the case was, of course, inevitable.
“…no! That’s a lie! Why would such a person come here alone?”
“That is also true.”
The reason Sunghyun revealed his abilities to them was simple.
Because I had no intention of saving them.

Murder itself was not taken lightly.
However, are the lives of those who take the lives of others lightly? If you ask me, it’s heavy. would answer.
“Don’t worry, just die…”
For the two who looked at Seong-hyeon, he scratched his hand with a sword as if to purify.
Soon, red blood began to fall, and the two could not take their eyes off Seong-hyeon as if surprised.
He wasn’t surprised that he had scratched his own hand.
It was surprising that the blood, which had been dripping as if it would never stop, disappeared without a trace as if it had ever been.
“Gee, was that real…?”
“Also. Sincerity.”
The man looked confused.
How should I deal with Sunghyun now?
Should I kill you? Or should I ask for forgiveness now?
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly wondered what the meaning of such worries was.
The cause was simple.
What if you decide to deal with Seong-hyeon?
‘Can you… handle it?’
movements that have been shown so far.
Can you defeat someone who has the ability to heal itself?
Even if he was lucky enough to inflict a fatal wound, it was enough to heal him.
But what if they inflict fatal wounds in the process?
The result was Seonghyeon’s victory without needing to be seen.
“…What do we do?”
“Let us ask for forgiveness.”
“…you idiot. Will you accept it?”
“Then can you win?”
His co-worker, who kept his expressionless expression even in such a situation, was the man he hated more than ever, but now he couldn’t trust anyone other than his co-worker.
“Yes, you take your time.”
“Time?”
“Yeah, yes! I’ll bring support…”
The man stuttered to the end and spit out the words in his head.
“okay. i get it.”
“Uh, huh?”
“Go quickly.”
“Hey, I’ll be here soon!”
Aroused, the man got up from his seat and ran towards the door.
“You want to run away?”
“My colleague. Bring support.”
“Do you believe that?”
“Are you my colleague?”
Seonghyeon gave up on the question because he seemed to have a slightly different opinion from other people.
‘I didn’t want to use the stigmata.’
I didn’t want to use it when fighting against it, but I had no choice but to run away.
The man’s colleague was keeping a close eye on Seonghyeon.
He had to react immediately if he showed even the slightest movement for his fellow fleeing.
‘…the opponent is strong.’
At first, he blamed himself for not recognizing Seong-hyeon’s strength, but now it was no use.
All that’s left is to get the teammates to escape safely.
‘movement. Why not?’
It is normal to try to chase the one who is running away, but Seonghyeon showed no movement.
He just turned his gaze towards his comrade without any gaps.
“Aww!”
I was only giving him a glance, but I heard a scream as if it had been hit by a knife from where my colleague was.
‘no!’
The man had no choice but to run towards Seong-hyeon, who could not see any gaps.
The speed was much faster than the first due to acceleration, but Seonghyeon was still avoiding it.
‘how?’
It’s as if you know in advance where you’re going to attack and move.
“Cuckoo…”
It was a small scream that could be said to be weak compared to the previous one, but the man could understand it.
That it was a short moan that was uttered just before fainting.
Due to the pressure to save a colleague and the tightness of time, the man’s sword was only fast but not sharp.
‘I can finish it now.’
Seong-hyeon, realizing that a battle beyond this is meaningless, changed the target of the stigma to the man in front of him.
“Uh…”
The dagger that was flying towards Seong-hyeon stopped in mid-air, and it became difficult to even hold it in the hand due to the growing pain, so I eventually missed it.
“Now what?”
“I surrender…”
“…”
Should it be said that the judgment of the situation is quick or that there is no sense of urgency?
I stared blankly for a moment, and suddenly a window appeared in front of me.
