chapter 17
17 – S-class and slaughter begin [EPISODE – 1]
The battle has begun.
“Geuuuuu.”
It was the death knight’s charge that sounded the alarm bell of the battle.
It rushed at me at an invisible speed and swung a black sword at me.
visor!!!
The trajectory of the sword flying in a large curve.
It was crude and intense, but the attack reached my sword.
I stopped enough.
“…”
I only realized after blocking it.
But… it was my mistake to stop it.
[Gg gg gg gg gg gg]
The death knight’s black sword began to vibrate.
And I quickly injected shock into my sword.
visor!
A little later, my sword might have broken.
After pushing away the black sword, I widened the distance.
“It’s tricky…”
I murmured softly.
I think it’s an A-class dimensional species.
A vibrating sword, like a small earthquake.
Blocking that sword doesn’t seem like a good option.
An indefensible attack, that was the opponent’s attack.
Kwak!
The black knight jumped and collapsed the ground I was standing on.
It was truly destructive.
“after…”
I narrowly avoided it.
And I took a moment to catch my breath.
However, it only turned around briefly.
Kwak-kwang!!!
bang!!
The death knight’s onslaught followed.
“Ugh…”
one two. I focused on the knight’s onslaught and hit it.
However, I had no choice but to push.
Gradually pushed, I was pinned against a wall.
“haha…”
Still, it was lucky to get stuck in the wall.
As the distance widened, I had another chance to catch my breath.
I gripped my sword once again.
And I glared at the article.
“…”
I had no choice but to admit it.
Now I am weaker than that black knight.
The amount of power, speed, prowess, and horsepower.
Everything is at an overwhelming inferiority.
Like never wanting to win.
The goddess of victory doesn’t smile at me.
“haha…”
However.
Still, I have one thing ahead of me.
is the growth rate.
“I’m following you…”
The more he pushed, the more a smile crept across his lips.
visor!!!
Chaengchaeng!!!
The black knight rushed towards me.
Although I am currently behind in strength, speed, skill, and horsepower, I gradually catch up.
The stronger the knight’s power, the stronger my power gradually becomes.
The pain that doesn’t kill me only makes me grow.
“Huh…”
From a certain moment on, it started accelerating toward becoming stronger.
What would have taken even more time originally grew much more steeply.
Accident burns out.
vision becomes clearer
My body, which must have been tired, felt much lighter now.
“…”
I surrendered to that power.
And caught up.
As I caught up with the death knight, the knight’s demeanor changed.
This time, the knight started to distance himself from me.
[The death knight casts a special move.]
“Yes… come.”
Apparently, even the death knights have realized it.
The more I play, the more I lose.
So it was clear that he had a gut feeling and rushed at me to finish it in one shot.
I read such an article and prepared the utmost courtesy.
Get ready to accept it.
and clashed
“Whoa…”
squeak.
The battle is over.
I caught up with the knight, and when I caught up, the black knight fell.
And soon it turned into ashes and disappeared.
dump.
I also sat there with him.
No matter how strong my body was, it was clear that I had been overdoing it now.
“I did it.”
It must have been hard and exhausting, but at this moment, it was okay.
My head hurt a lot, but I was fine nonetheless.
The drug of achievement took over me like a flood in my head.
Now I have overcome and become stronger.
“Now… I think it was about three years ago…”
I’m not sure how strong it got, but since the black knight was an A rank and I defeated it, I’m guessing I’d be about that too.
At this point, I must have re-entered the ranks of the strong to some extent.
You won’t have to worry about your life for a while.
“ha…”
He took a deep breath.
This is truly a tremendous achievement.
The fact that Hunter, who took a break for 3 years, returned to his prime in only 3 days, was originally nonsensical.
However, I definitely have the strength I had in my prime.
The power of an A-class Hunter.
“Sssscha…”
I lay down and think for a few minutes, then got up.
And I took the magic stone that came out of the black knight.
And came out of the gate.
“The day is bright…”
A cool morning breeze was already blowing outside the gate.
I got out of the gate and realized it was daylight.
Apparently, I had stayed inside the gate for quite a while.
Well, it was a natural result since he dealt with 100 knights and managed to win the battle with the boss mob in a long battle.
I expected that some time would pass, but when I came out of the gate I entered at night in the morning, I felt different.
“Now what do I do…”
I looked at the time on my phone and it was 7:30.
I couldn’t help but hesitate a little when I saw the time.
Because the time was too vague.
Originally, the time I left home to go to work was around 8:00.
At 8:00 I finish all the preparations and head to work.
But, it’s 7:30 now and I’m heading home in 30 minutes.
If I go home now, I will be put in a situation where I have to go to work as soon as I get home.
If I had to run, I should be able to get there in 10 minutes, but I had no choice but to hesitate a little.
“I can’t help it.”
My choice was not to go home.
Of course, I will never do such a troublesome thing as going home and going to work right away.
I turned around to head home.
And it’s a bit early, but I headed to the guild nearby to go straight to work.
In terms of time, it was an hour earlier than the original commuting time.
“It’s a pity that Si-eun couldn’t eat breakfast… but it can’t be helped.”
I couldn’t help but let out a little sigh.
Originally, I always eat breakfast prepared by Lee Si-eun.
It is also my creed that I should eat a hearty breakfast.
But it’s a pity that I can’t.
Still, it’s good enough for a day or so.
The idea is that you can endure hunger for a bit and then solve it during lunch.
“Ah… Come to think of it, today was the day Jinsu said his sister was coming back from a business trip, right?”
On my way to work, I remembered what Park Jin-soo said at a drinking party yesterday.
Yesterday, Park Jin-soo and I drank for quite a long time and talked about various things, and one of them was that his sister was returning from a business trip today.
It was a story of successfully completing the gate subjugation mission in Busan and returning to the guild this time.
That’s what I remembered at this moment.
“What kind of child is it?”
To be honest, I am also looking forward to what kind of child Park Jin-soo’s younger sister will be.
In the words of Park Jin-soo, there was a saying that he was a very smart and diligent child.
And he is said to be 17 years old, the same age as Si-eun, and as an early awakener, he has been working as a hunter since middle school.
To put Park Jin-soo’s words together, he went to school normally and is the same age as Shi-eun, but he seems to be a child who is the exact opposite.
Lee Si-eun is neither particularly smart nor diligent.
I’m good at serving food, but to be honest, that’s all.
And Lee Si-eun is a really ordinary girl. I don’t do such dangerous hunter work.
Naturally, I can’t help but be curious about a girl of the same age who is the complete opposite of my sister.
I look forward to seeing what kind of child he will be.
“I’d love to be friends…”
If I meet Park Jin-ha, I want a relationship that is not awkward.
In the guild I am currently in, there is only Park Jin-ha except for Park Jin-soo and me, and since it is a company with only 3 members, I think it would be nice to have a strong bond in my own way.
Besides, since he is a skilled hunter recognized in the hunter industry, there is nothing good about being bad.
However, I didn’t know until then.
The meeting between me and Park Jin-ha would be the worst…
Tumble.
I headed to the company with high expectations.
And almost all of them arrived at the company.
However…
“Uh… what is this?”
Arriving in front of our guild building, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Because it was different from usual. Right now, in front of our guild building, countless hunters were lying with knife wounds.
And among them, some were only wounded and subdued, while others lost their lives.
“What the hell is it?”
I couldn’t help but be surprised by this situation.
Who the hell are these guys and why are they lying in front of our guild?
I couldn’t guess anything, but I tried to think as much as possible.
While thinking so, I noticed a girl standing tall in the middle of such a scene.
“Are you also one?”
A small girl with red hair soon noticed me and glared at me.
And he expressed his hostility towards me with cold words.
I couldn’t help but be the most nervous in my life at this moment.
Because I noticed at once that this child who harbors hostility towards me is S-class or has skills comparable to it.
“Looks like it’s been a loss…”
The red-haired girl looked at me, was convinced, and began to pose.
and ran to me
with great living.
