Chapter 178: I Hate Anyone that Uses a Bow (4)
Jung Soo-Hyun's eyes shot wide open after feeling the heavy blow.
Most Hunters, excluding those of Master Rank and a few S Rank, barely managed to avoid his sword, but no one could outright block it. However, Han-Yeol had effortlessly blocked his sword.
"W-What?!" Jung Soo-Hyun exclaimed.
"Is that all you've got?" Han-Yeol asked with a smirk.
Jung Soo-Hyun might have launched a preemptive attack to catch Han-Yeol by surprise, but it was nearly impossible to surprise him thanks to his cheat-like skill—Sixth Sense.
"Hyung!"
Pshwooong!
Jung Woo-Hyun promptly shot an arrow upon witnessing Jung Soo-Hyun's blocked attack, his seriousness evident as he had already recognized that Han-Yeol was not an easy opponent.
Whoosh! Bam! Kwachik!
“Ack!”?
Jung Woo-Hyun was confident that his arrow would hit its target. Han-Yeol had been using his sword to block the arrows until now, but currently, his sword was occupied defending against Jung Soo-Hyun's sword. However, complacency resulting from repetitive behavior was bound to have consequences. n0velusb.C0m
Jung Woo-Hyun had never faced Han-Yeol's chain before, so he drastically miscalculated the potential outcome. Han-Yeol blocked the arrow with his hammer and unleashed Hammer Shock, causing an explosion right next to Jung Soo-Hyun.
“Cough!”?Jung Soo-Hyun immediately jumped back to safety and coughed up blood.
“Hyung, are you alright?” Jung Woo-Hyun asked.
Seuk...
Jung Soo-Hyun wiped the blood off his mouth and asked, "I'm alright, but what was that damn skill just now?"
"Fuck! Who the hell is that guy?!" Jung Woo-Hyun cursed out of frustration.
Han-Yeol held a sword and a chain in both hands, emitting an aura that made him appear unapproachable.
"I guess we have no choice, Woo-Hyun."
"Why, hyung?"
"We have to use it."
"But we only use that for boss monsters."
"Yes, but we have no other option, right?"
"I guess... Alright, I want to tear that bastard apart, so I don't mind using that 'skill.' We have to kill him anyway, so we might as well do it properly."
‘Hmm? What did they say just now? They will kill me?’?Han-Yeol heard them.
He was certain that the brothers had said they had to "kill" him, and this fight had now become personal to him.
Han-Yeol had a guess who was the mastermind behind all of this, ‘It must be Kim Tae-San’s doing.’
Kim Tae-San was the top Hunter of South Korea, but there were a lot of rumors flying around that his personality was trash.
Han-Yeol already had his suspicions the moment Kim Tae-San welcomed him with a bright smile and open arms. ‘He looks quite normal on the surface, but he is capable of plotting something like this?’
Kim Tae-San, despite being over fifty years old, bore no resemblance to an old man. In his early thirties, he was already remarkably handsome, and he managed to maintain his youthful appearance after awakening, which earned him popularity among ordinary people.
However, those within the Hunters' industry were well aware of the true nature of Kim Tae-San behind his charming facade.
‘This is quite the pickle I’m in... What should I do about this...?’?Han-Yeol found himself in a dilemma. He pondered for quite a while, going back and forth, only to arrive at the same conclusion repeatedly.
‘If they were to kill me, they would likely claim it was an accident. However, if I were to kill either of them, they would relentlessly pursue me. Therefore... my only choice is to incapacitate them completely without causing any fatalities!’?Han-Yeol gritted his teeth and slowly started to emit killing intent.
Initially, he viewed this duel as an opportunity to test his skills against another Hunter. However, that mindset had changed, and he was now determined to utterly crush his opponents.
“Let’s go! Woo-Hyun!”
“Okay!”
Paaaak!
‘Hmm?’?Han-Yeol observed that the brothers had altered their movement pattern this time. They sprinted in opposite directions, simultaneously firing an arrow and hurling three shurikens at him.
Pswhoong! Whiish! Whiish! Whiish!
‘What are you? A ninja?’?Han-Yeol grumbled in disbelief before lightly swinging his sword to block the attacks.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!?
Although it may have appeared effortless, executing such a maneuver was only achievable for someone capable of wielding their sword at nearly the speed of sound.
Chwak!
Then, the brothers positioned themselves on opposite ends of a straight line, with Han-Yeol in the center. Jung Woo-Hyun took the initiative to launch an attack, extracting an arrow from his quiver and commencing the gathering of his mana.
"Ultimate Attack! Wolf's Arrow!" he exclaimed, releasing the arrow imbued with mana, propelling it forward.
Pshwoooong! Awooooo!
The arrow soared through the air, transforming into a wolf that emitted a resounding howl as it surged toward Han-Yeol. Undoubtedly, it was a formidable attack capable of obliterating its target upon contact. However, it was evident that Jung Woo-Hyun had depleted all of his mana with this assault.
Thud...!
“Ugh...”?Jung Woo-Hyun fell to his knees and collapsed, thinking, ‘Damn it... Why can I only use this skill once a day...?’
The ultimate skill came with the drawback of requiring him to rest for an entire day after its use. The crowd watched with anticipation, but those positioned directly in the wolf's path swiftly moved to avoid becoming collateral damage. After all, they had no desire to risk their lives for the sake of a better view of the match.
"Wow! Did that arrow truly transform into a wolf?"
"It's been ages since I last witnessed that skill!"
"They mentioned it's a technique exclusively reserved for boss raids, but it appears they're truly determined to win this time."
"You clueless fool! Can't you see? Those brothers are desperate because they're no match for Han-Yeol Hunter!"
"But that's not all."
Jung Soo-Hyun swiftly infused his sword with mana immediately after the arrow transformed into a wolf. In an explosive display, his sword emitted a powerful burst as he exclaimed, "Eat this! Wolf's Sword!"
Krwaaaang!
A wolf emerged from Jung Soo-Hyun’s sword and made a beeline for Han-Yeol.
Tak!
Most individuals would likely worry that the brothers might unintentionally harm each other with their wolf attacks. However, their shared senses ensured that their wolves would not inflict harm upon one another.
This implied that their triumph was all but assured if Jung Soo-Hyun's wolf successfully pinned down Han-Yeol while Jung Woo-Hyun's wolf charged toward him.
Yet, the brothers had made a critical mistake this time. They had chosen the wrong opponent.
Shwoosh!
“What?!”
Puk!
“Kuheok!”
Han-Yeol threw his chain and struck Jung Soo-Hyun on his stomach with the hammer.
