Chapter 405 – No Brakes In Han-Yeol’s Growth (1)

‘Hmm... I still can’t see it...’ Han-Yeol grimaced. He still could not read Woo Han-Jong’s movements at all.

[He’s coming from your upper right this time!]

He had to rely on Karvis to defend himself from the attacks.

“Time to say goodbye, brat!” Woo Han-Jong exclaimed confidently and swung his bamboo sword at Han-Yeol’s neck.

Whoosh!

However, Han-Yeol seemed quite calm for some reason.

‘This attack would’ve gotten me if it was me a while ago,’ he thought.

Surprisingly, he was smirking right now.

‘Blood Leg.’

He used one of the new skills he received from Astaroth, Blood Leg. He did not have the time to read the skill’s description in detail, but he could tell from glancing through it that this skill was exactly what he needed right now.

Chwak!

Then, four legs sprouted on his back. The legs looked like a spider's, but they were slightly different upon closer inspection. The legs on his back immediately started moving.

[This is awesome!]

The first to react was Karvis. She instantly took control of the legs on his back as soon as they sprouted, and she used them to block the bamboo sword aimed at his neck.

Then, she used the legs to counterattack by attacking Woo Han-Jong’s four critical points: his head, chest, abdomen, and that place.

“Heup!” Woo Han-Jong was forced to disengage after seeing the bloody legs coming at him.

Whoosh!

[Tsk... This old geezer is a slippery one.]

She could not help but be disgruntled after she failed her first attack with her new weapons.

Han-Yeol laughed. ‘Haha! Calm down, Karvis. We’re just getting started now.’

[Keke! Yeah, I guess you are right.]

Surprisingly, she was slowly starting to become like Han-Yeol.

“...”

The momentum shifted in Han-Yeol’s favor. He had yet to discover the secret behind Woo Han-Jong’s movements, but he now had a way to defend himself.

On the other hand, things were not looking great for Woo Han-Jong as he could no longer exploit Han-Yeol’s weakness.

‘He became stronger again! This brat became stronger during battle!’ he could not help but rage inwardly.

This was already the second time Han-Yeol had become stronger in this fight alone. His power spike was completely absurd, and Woo Han-Jong could not believe they were the same growth-type Hunters.

‘If that’s a growth-type Hunter... Then, what am I...?’ He started to question whether he could claim to be a growth-type Hunter or not.

“Hmm... Should we call this the third quarter now, old man?” Han-Yeol asked. Before, he referenced football, but the prolonged battle forced him to switch to basketball this time.

“Do you honestly think you can beat me just because you obtained a few pathetic skills? The fact that you’re a piece of trash on the side of the road won’t change!”

Bam!

Woo Han-Jong used Aerial Steps to fly up. He knew Han-Yeol could no longer use his Light wings, so he was exploiting this weakness.

Han-Yeol might use whatever new skills he obtained, but he could do nothing if he could not reach his opponent.

“Haa...!” Han-Yeol sighed after his opponent went up into the sky just as he expected.

‘Alright, shall we get serious now, Karvis?’ he asked.

[Ready when you are, Han-Yeol-nim.]

‘Well, now he knows.’

[Hmm... Maybe?]

‘Hahaha!’

This was the difference between Woo Han-Jong and Han-Yeol.

“Y-You insolent brat!” Woo Han-Jong gnashed his teeth, and his eyes started turning red from rage. He was starting to lose control over his emotions after being blatantly disrespected by Han-Yeol over and over again.

It was only normal for him to be enraged as Han-Yeol was gifted when it came to annoying people.

“I’m not letting you off easily!”

Boom!

“I’m going to cut your head, stuff it, and hang it on my wall as a trophy!”

“What the hell are you talking about, old man?”

Shwiiik!

Karvis immediately responded as soon as Han-Yeol waved his hand. She was now controlling the chain and started encircling it around them.

Woo Han-Jong scoffed and said, “Ha! I’m getting tired of your petty little tricks! This won’t work on me twi—!”

Then, he suddenly noticed Han-Yeol smirk.

“Do you really think so?” Han-Yeol asked in response as his lips curled up like a villain often found in superhero movies.

‘Haha... I guess I rooted for the bad guys more than the good guys ever since I was young, so I guess I’m more inclined to be a villain than a hero?’

Actually, there were numerous times that people would mistake him as a villain due to the monsters and demons he was surrounded by. The monsters and demons were considered threats against humanity, so he was bound to get such misunderstandings from others if they were not familiar with him.

Woo Han-Jong did not bother responding to Han-Yeol’s childish antics.

“Hyaaaa!” he bellowed and swung his sword.

Unfortunately, his attacks were no longer as threatening as they once were to Han-Yeol.

Shwaaak!

Woo Han-Jong knew this too, so he instantly disappeared right before fully swinging his sword.

‘He disappeared again,’ Han-Yeol thought, but he seemed quite calm.

[No you don’t!]

Chwak!

Han-Yeol might have failed to keep track of Woo Han-Jong, but Karvis was able to sense the old man’s movement.

Han-Yeol, being the cunning person he was, decided to use this to his favor. He waited until Woo Han-Jong used this strange movement of his. Then, Karvis would defend him from the incoming attack, and then he would use Sixth Sense to react half a step later to attack the old man.

‘Welcome, old man! I was waiting for you to come close to me!’

Han-Yeol bided his time and waited for this precise moment to show off another skill.

‘It’s not easy keeping track of all of my skills, but I came up with this combo just for you. Sorry, but this one’s going to hurt a lot, old geezer!’

Shwiiik!

His Jabberwock Chain grew longer and swirled around them.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Meanwhile, Han-Yeol and Karvis pressured Woo Han-Jong when he reappeared to attack.

“Argh! Damn it!” Woo Han-Jong cursed out of frustration. He was no longer able to exploit Han-Yeol’s weakness.

Woo Han-Jong decided to unleash his full power to settle this battle.

‘Tsk... I guess I have no choice but to use all my strength if I can’t win against him with technique. I didn’t want to do this, but I’ll have to overpower him with brute force!’
