Chapter 363 – The Bondage of Karma (5)
The action principles of hunters who hunt monsters in dungeons are mostly similar.
Exploring the opponent’s weaknesses.
Make it so that the enemy’s strengths cannot be used to their full potential, and double or triple your own strengths.
It just depends on which side you focus on and what method you use.
These principles apply equally when dealing with humans.
The man, the flame man, knows that fact better than anyone else.
Because I have easily killed dozens of people that way so far.
It’s the same this time too.
“Kim Do-jin…”
A-class hunter Kim Do-jin.
Hunting him as a new goal is no different from before.
It takes away his strengths and highlights his weaknesses.
If so, you should know this in advance.
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
Finding this out was easier and simpler than any other opponent I had killed so far.
“The advantage is magic.”
Fast casting speed.
Outstanding destructive power.
Wide range of spell utilization, etc.
The senior wizards who evaluate him all give a thumbs up.
And I leave this at the end:
“A genius who comes along once in a hundred years…”
All wizards are strict and stingy.
They believe they are special people and prefer to criticize others rather than praise them.
The same applies to juniors who walk the same path.
There is only one reason why they praise Kim Do-jin beyond praise.
“A true genius… “I guess that’s what it means.”
A real genius, not the thinly plated genius that spreads all over the world and comes off at the slightest touch.
He stole several of Kim Do-jin’s videos through a hacker working with him.
The sight of a series of magic shots that would make even an A-class hunter fall into serious condition if hit by one shot was truly impressive.
It’s a shameful story, but I regretted it for a while at that time.
‘I guess I didn’t touch something I shouldn’t have touched, right?’
But even for a moment.
Before being eaten by fear, the flame man returned to square one.
A genius who appears once in a hundred years, a world-class prospect, and the youngest Class A hunter.
I removed all the modifiers and kept only one essence in my mind.
“Wizard.”
Okay.
That guy is a wizard.
He has strong firepower that cannot be compared to any other occupation, but he is so focused on it that he has the weakest physical ability.
“Glass cannon.”
There’s one more thing.
“… “I am the natural enemy of such wizards.”
To wizards, their very existence is a disaster.
While standing on top of a tall building and looking down at the night street, he takes out a walkie-talkie that he had put in his pocket and puts it to his mouth.
“Are you ready?”
As I let out a low voice, I heard a reply.
-Ju, I’m ready.
A tone of voice that conveys a lot of tension.
A voice that makes you feel pitiful because it doesn’t feel like a single grain of rice.
“Tsk…”
The person who needs to be coordinated, even if only for a moment, is such a stupid and foolish being.
It’s truly a pity.
Even if we were to bring in a guy like that, what use would it be?
‘I guess I can make that happen somehow.’
Isn’t there a saying that even dog poop can be used in medicine?
If you don’t have any use for it, you can use it as a test subject or bullet canister.
I continue speaking, momentarily pushing the endless feeling of disgust deep within my heart.
“His car will arrive soon. Keep this in mind. “Never miss an opportunity.”
-Ah, ah, I understand.
A pathetic answer that doesn’t feel trustworthy at all.
However, I wasn’t too worried.
Because it will be someone else who moves him.
I wait for a moment with a faint smile as my heart beats faster than usual.
‘… Come.’
When he notices a car passing on a quiet road, his eyes sparkle.
A car that looks extremely frugal for an A-class hunter to drive around in.
I ran down the road at a leisurely pace and arrived in front of the building where the flame man was standing.
“This, profit… !”
Oh-joong Kim.
A fireball so large that it’s hard to believe it came from that pathetic guy’s hand explodes into the car Kim Do-jin is driving.
Kwaaaaang-!
The car explodes with a huge explosion sound and falls again due to gravity.
Bang!
Quack!
Coo coo coo… !
Like a soccer ball dropped from an appropriate height, bounce lightly a few times each time it hits the floor.
The door of the overturned car falls off on the asphalt road, broken and dented here and there.
Kwasik!
At the same time, the man who appears, Kim Do-jin.
Although he was hit directly by a huge fireball along with his car, breaking and being swept away, he was not injured in the slightest.
“…”
A translucent film was wrapped around his body as he got out of the car.
I protected my body with protection magic at the moment the fireball hit the car.
The flame man saw this and smiled bitterly.
“What a monster.”
It must be a homemade monster.
In an urgent situation where a fireball appears out of nowhere and attacks the car you are riding in, it is impossible with any sense or ability to completely protect your body by completing a magic that requires a high level of concentration in an instant.
“Joy… , But it doesn’t matter.”
He smiles bitterly and turns around.
In the first place, I didn’t think that someone like Kim O-joong would be able to catch him with just one fireball.
“Lord, die, you piece of trash!”
Kim Oh-jung’s bitter resentment can be heard in my ears.
He is bait.
A small bait to attack Kim Do-jin, make him angry, and lure him to a designated location.
For the next operation, he flew straight down the building.
After jumping over the 20th floor in one go and landing gently on the floor, he headed towards a small space measuring 5m horizontally and 10m vertically between the buildings.
When I am satisfied with the space prepared to highlight my strengths and further obscure the other person’s strengths.
“Uh, ahhh… !”
Urgent screams and loud footsteps are heard.
Soon, Kim Oh-joong comes around the corner and Kim Do-jin, following closely behind him, appears one after another.
Kim Oh-joong finally reaches where he is standing and hides behind him, out of breath.
His eyes meet the crooked gaze of Kim Do-jin, who was frantically following him.
“… “What are you?”
The first to speak was Kim Do-jin.
Not to be outdone, the flame man also opened his mouth.
“You die here today, Kim Do-jin.”
At the same time, the things prepared in this small space are taken out one by one and presented.
Wow
A bluish transparent membrane surrounds the space, along with loud vibrations coming from the surroundings.
This is a barrier.
It is used to prevent the opponent from escaping and to prevent internal noise from escaping.
And there is another reason for putting up this barrier.
“Huh… !”
The magic power dormant within the core is released through the pores of the entire body, filling the space.
He was chosen.
I harbored anger in my heart amid repeated betrayals.
That anger gave him strength.
The hot, dry power of anger that burns away everything it touches.
After confirming that his magic power containing the burning power of anger had filled the space, he asked Kim Do-jin in a much more relaxed manner.
“Who did you choose?”
He frowns at the unexpected question.
“It seems that a personality that likes to stretch out goes well with arrogance, and when you look at the way it exposes women… , It seems to go very well with lust.”
Pride and lust.
As the sins belonging to the Seven Deadly Sins poured out one after another, Kim Do-jin’s face hardened.
I was convinced when I saw him.
‘Also… , He must have been chosen too.’
That was enough.
To erase three characters named Kim Do-jin from this world.
By the time he was once again remembering why his opponent had to die.
“You… “Who are you?”
Kim Do-jin once again asked about his identity.
Judging by his stiff face, he appears to have been quite worn out.
He shrugged his shoulders and answered in a relaxed manner.
“Well… , If you beat me, you might find out.”
Kim Do-jin laughs coldly at the obvious provocation.
“It’s a very easy way.”
As soon as he finishes speaking, he stretches out his hand.
And as usual, I am gathering magical energy to cast magic, but something is strange.
“Magic power… ?”
Magic power is not gathered.
Normally, I would have completed the magic by now with the magic power that has snowballed, but I still can’t feel anything in my hands other than the magic power extracted from my body.
No, rather, even that is disappearing.
“Ah, no, why is this… ?”
Kim Do-jin is embarrassed.
The flame man smiled at him, baring his teeth.
“Tsk… ! “Were you embarrassed because you couldn’t gather your magical energy?”
Kim Do-jin glares at his man with a bewildered gaze.
“Did you do it?”
When he asked, the flame man obediently admitted this.
“Okay. This is the power given by Ira, the goddess of anger.”
Ira, one of the seven deadly sins.
Her ability as a flame man was one of the countless powers she possessed.
“My magic power burns and erases the magic power around me.”
“Magic power… , Erase it?”
“Okay.”
That was why she opened her barrier.
In order to block his magic by completely erasing the magical power that exists in a certain space.
“The only thing effective in this space is the magic power within the body.”
Only the magic flowing within the body is safe from the power of anger.
In other words, this space is a battlefield set up to be advantageous to warrior-type occupations that exert greater power by activating the body with the magic power within the body.
And the man was a warrior.
He is also a top-tier talent who did not have many opponents that could be called rivals among A-level hunters in the past.
What does that mean?
This means that unless there are two heavens, there is no chance of Kim Do-jin surviving here.
It was clearly like that.
“Therefore… So, here, you have to use your body instead of magic?”
Even though I heard the news as if it were lightning, the other person was calmer than I expected, or even more so.
Kim Do-jin soon shows a serious expression.
“Umm… “What should I do with this?”
I’m guessing that you’ve finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
“This is too advantageous for me…”
Did he lose his mind due to the excessive tension?
“What if I control my power incorrectly and kill myself?”
He started saying things that the other person could not understand at all.
