Episode 86 Kill the President (5)
A long spear thrust. The strong blow removed the dust clouds hanging around, and Kim Min-jae was seen holding his head against the wall when the spear reached out halfway through.
Unless he was a monster, the human body was unable to take a defensive posture. It was the best move to choose an attack without hesitation.
“Eee……!”
The guy who belatedly responded to my spear chose to attack instead of defending it. Kim Min-jae’s arm swung with a mysterious trajectory.
‘Are you trying to turn the spear away, or are you going to smash this whole spear?’
I didn’t know. This time, even my excellent insight did not answer. So, at this moment, everything would depend on my instinctive choices.
To move the spear noticing the spear’s orbit deliberately or to throw it bluntly.
I felt like a crossroads had sprung up in front of me. Past images of Kim Min-jae passed through my head. How would he choose? It did not take long to think of it.
I didn’t choose to change the direction of my spear.
Just as I first thought, the spear stretched out into a straight trajectory.
“…….”
Kim Min-jae’s hands did not move defensively. As if he couldn’t stand the annoying mirage, he made a strong effort to break the edge of the spear.
‘As expected.’
I thought he’d think so. He was so self-conscious. he would surely take this opportunity to break down the mirage. My choice was correct.
Argh!
“……!”
Kim Min-jae’s hand bounced as soon as it hit the edge of the spear. Along with the intense vibrations, there was a shock to my wrist. Tendon-splitting pain spread widely. But instead of letting go of the spear, I clenched my teeth and grabbed it harder.
“What the…….”
Kim Min-jae was in disbelief at what had just happened.
Stupid bastard, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t get over the system. A mirage was the hardest metal recognized by the system and was made of a material that couldn’t be destroyed.
From the time he chose to destroy it, he had already lost the fight.
Crack!
“Argh…….”
As part of the myth, a reinforced spear pierced the skin and tore the muscles. The golden color permeated through his wound.
Kim Min-jae’s face turned noticeably pale. Dark blood burst from the mouth of the groaning fellow.
Bam!
“Argh…….”
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get through his gutter. As soon as I tried to put the spear in more, Kim Min-jae’s foot hit my chest. With the sense of crushing my ribs, I rolled on the floor several times and flew away.
I felt my head dazed for a moment. Was it a human who just hit me? If I had not seen the blow, I would have believed that I had got hit by a subway.
“Ahhh…Arghhh!”
Kim Min-jae’s groan of pain echoed. The spear stuck in his side was still shining and enthusiastically emitting the power of its myth.
“Damn, it’s more painful to me. Son of a…….”
I grabbed my chest and forced myself up. To be influenced by Zhang Wei’s abilities, I must enter his field of vision.
Please give me one look over here. I’m going to die.
“Growl, argh.”
Kim Min-jae, who grabbed his side, staggered and vomited dark blood.
“Arghhh!”
When he saw the blood coming out of his body, he looked disgusted. He seemed to have never been injured before, and he showed an inability to endure pain.
Looking at him, I muttered with pure doubt.
“…How on earth did you get that power?”
It was normally seen among people who had never been in combat before. Ordinary people were scared of blood or panicked to the point where their sides were pierced.
To build such power and train, one must have gone through dozens or hundreds of battles. And if he went through the process, he must have naturally become indifferent to pain.
“Can’t you hear me? Does it hurt that much? Ha. You’re a funny guy. You did that to other people though you couldn’t stand it.”
Gulp.
Blaming Zhang Wei’s narrow vision, I took a potion out of my chest and inhaled it. This potion was created with knowledge of the future. It was different from the current potion, which only healed abrasion.
Feeling the pain in my chest eased, I walked towards Kim Min-jae. He was still struggling with pain and didn’t even recognize me properly.
“What a selfish fellow.”
It was strange to say. There was no anomaly in his technique except for the first attack. He was in a perfect posture with no flaws, but on the contrary, he was over-defensive.
I would have died more than ten times if he had been active. Compared to the great power he had, Kim Min-jae was very clumsy in using it.
No, it was perfect in terms of his skill. However, he collapsed once he faced a variable like a man who had never experienced a real battle before.
“You’ve never fought properly, have you?”
“Urgh… Urghh…….”
“You’ve never done a good battle before. Ha, you’re such a strong baby.”
Boo-!
As I entered the attack range, Kim Min-jae instinctively swung his arm. It was still a threatening blow, but it was very clear to estimate. I couldn’t have predicted where it would come from before. However, this one was terrible enough to make me laugh in vain.
“Uh-oh!”
I dodged his arm and swung my legs. I stepped on the spear stuck in his side and pushed it further in. Kim Min-jae’s body shook violently. As expected, he didn’t know how to bear the pain.
“You’re such a bugger…….”
As I tried to put the spear in to make sure he was injured more, a strong fever broke out in my heart. It was a sort of instinct. A sensation created through numerous battles, rising ahead of a crisis. I pulled my feet back and quickly leaned back.
Crack.
It was the right call. But it was a little slow. Not only the chest-protecting hunting suit but also the entire skin on the heart was torn. As if caught in an animal’s fangs, blood was pouring down. It was unexpected.
With excellent insight, I captured Kim Min-jae’s hand, which was slowly stretched out. Even with that injury, he still had this much strength left.
“Argh, huh. Well, you’re better than expected… I never thought you’d avoid this.”
Kim Min-jae muttered, staring at me back. He grabbed the spear in his side, groaned, and forced it out. Blood trickled down like a waterfall.
Kim Min-jae gritted his teeth and took out a strange object from his chest. It was a brilliantly shining bead. He stuck it in his mouth and chewed it up.
[A miracle drug. An object with a lot of inner workings. It can’t beat that injury lightly, but… Still, he’s not going to move in a vulnerable state like he just did.]
As the Traveler said, the wound on Kim Min-jae’s side began to recover rapidly.
I wasn’t the only one who had the means to recover any injury. God damn it; it wasn’t a waste of money. He coughed continuously and raised his body. I cursed at Kim Min-jae.
“Hahahaha. The analysis team was wrong. You weren’t the kind of person three or five Hounds could deal with. Hahahaha…….”
“…….”
“Have I ever fought properly? Yes, that’s right. I’ve never wielded this enormous power against humans or Monsters. I’ve worked so hard not to have a chance to fight in the first place.”
Steam was being emitted by Kim Min-jae’s body. Mana? No. It was the new power and spirit that the Traveler advised while training with Cheon Myeong-seok a long time ago.
“Most people pull their tails down just by making eye contact with me. But sometimes there are people like you. Those born as beasts, who do not shrink from facing anything, but rather dig into small weaknesses and bite their necks.”
“…….”
“I didn’t want to eat my flesh. But at this rate, I’m going to lose all my bones and hearts, and I can’t hold them back until I die.”
Kim Min-jae’s body became smaller with the sound of air escaping. He lowered himself. It looked much more solid and thorough than before. The attitude that made me feel pressured by looking at it, and suffocating when I think of him as an enemy.
‘You’re damn tough.’
I also took a similar posture and prepared to deal with him. Defensive Kim Min-jae took an active position for the first time. His arm stretched out for my neck.
“Huh!”
