Episode 19
Sometimes the human body type and the hunter type are related, and sometimes they are completely unrelated.
However, at a glance, the man in front of me can be seen writing, ‘I am the night type.’
A thick, well-toned upper body and bulging solar blood vessels.
From the etheric energy that surrounds his entire body to the knuckle-type device that he wears on his hands.
Looking at the scars all over his face and arms, he appears to be a close-combat type hunter.
“I really… … .”
Aren’t you stupid?
Isn’t there the ‘most convenient way’ to check the other person without having to analyze this and that?
I used the most convenient method in my mind, and V1 gave me the company’s information as if it had been waiting.
<Kim Gwan-tae / Hunter type – Knight (Warrior) / Physical grade ‘B’ / Affiliation: Tiger Guild (Changwon) / Unique characteristic: Madness (★★) #Overwhelming power # ONE ON ONE master # Power show # Sub tanker>
“oh… … .”
His specs are better than I thought.
A B-rank hunter’s physical power would be hundreds of times that of an adult male.
It was no wonder that the stocky-built merchant flew like a paper airplane.
No.
In other words, it should be seen as a loss of strength.
Kwasik! puck!!
Several employees patrolling the black market rushed in, but they were no match for even a glance.
Kim Gwan-tae threw away the ink bowl as if he was chopping it with his knuckles.
The momentum was so ferocious that the people around them were increasingly taking a step back.
Kim Kwan-tae nods his head as if he were warming up and then approaches the merchant again.
“Give me more money.”
“Ugh… … . Once you’ve already made a transaction, it’s over… … . “That’s the rule here.”
“Rules? It sounds like a rule. What kind of black market is this… … . “I will show you that fists are closer than the law.”
Kim Gwan-tae hits the merchant on the cheek several times with his palm.
It looks like it will continue like that until they say they will return the money.
slam.
The merchant’s lips burst and turn red before turning red.
I feel like I’m almost half out of my mind. Isn’t that how I’m going to die?
There is no sign of the assault stopping.
Rather, the more he hits Kim Gwan-tae, the more grim his face becomes.
<Unique characteristic detection: Madness (★★) is activated.>
Madness.
I guess it’s because I just finished fighting with the patrolling guys.
No matter who the opponent is, he seems to be the type of psycho who gets more excited when he sees blood.
As befits the name ‘madness’, he was beaten even more harshly.
hey.
I’m really dying.
I, who couldn’t see anything, asked Bisu.
“Aren’t you going to help me?”
“huh.”
“Are you responsible for a merchant dying while doing business?”
“no.”
Bisu’s eyes looking at Kim Gwan-tae are cold.
Of course, it is impossible for a beast to subdue a B-rank hunter.
But Bisu doesn’t seem to be trying to call anyone in particular.
“Because there is someone else to handle the work.”
As soon as Bisu finished speaking, a low-pitched voice was heard from behind.
“Stop it.”
When I hear the man’s voice, the unlucky Goo Geon comes to mind.
This is because ‘something’ contained in the voice caught everyone’s attention.
“… … ?”
That power even stopped the movements of Kim Kwan-tae, who was in a state of ‘madness.’
Well, this is a skill I want to learn.
“What are you. “Are you in charge here?”
“The only person responsible is my father. “I’m just sorting out the commotion now.”
The word is ‘father’, but in reality he looks older than Yaksha.
A man around 50 years old with short, gray hair.
Is this how veterans feel when they get older?
It was only when I saw that strong impression that I remembered it.
When doing business with a yaksha, this is the person who stands on one side and watches my transaction.
“indeed. “If you want to subdue a B-rank hunter, you have to show up like that.”
When I nod, Bisu asks with a sullen expression.
“How do you know that bastard is B-rank?”
Of course I know.
In my eyes, V1 hacking Hunter Association information is combined.
But I couldn’t tell him that right away.

“It’s just a feeling.”
“joy. “It’s boring.”
I suddenly became a boring man.
But whatever.
A fight breaks out between a high-level hunter and a black market manager, and you can’t help but be intrigued.
Unlike my fight, where they die at the slightest touch, they will engage in a proper ‘battle’.
It was a good experience for someone who lacks practical experience.
“I asked the store next door and they said they sold the monster at a low price without even knowing it was a rare species. In such cases, there is no compensation anywhere, not even in the black market.”
“Hehe… … . See if those words come out even when you’re beaten and your pee hole is leaking. “Whether it’s a dog or a person, it’s the same thing.”
At this point, it’s confusing to see who is the black marketer and who is the hunter.
What that bastard called Hunter is doing is no different from a thug.
“They say that even if people die here, the government doesn’t hold them accountable.”
“So you were trying to kill me?”
“okay. “That way, next time you come, these idiots won’t try to scam you.”
“no. There will be no next time.”
As I watched with interest, I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva.
This is because I could feel a cold chill in the manager’s eyes.
“Because you will die today.”
The black market manager takes a fighting stance.
What is that posture?
It’s not boxing, and it’s far from Muay Thai or wrestling.
Instead of looking at the other person directly, you are looking at them from a 90° angle.
It feels like the tip of one shoulder is aimed at the opponent.
“That’s terrible.”
A hazy light surrounds Kim Gwan-tae’s whole body.
The source of the power of night-type hunters.
White ether supports his body like armor.
Kim Kwan-tae, armed with ether, moved the new model with smooth movements.
‘fast… … !!’
The fastest monster I’ve faced so far was a poisonous centipede at 4-star (★★★★) difficulty.
However, when it comes to speed alone, it feels like Kim Kwan-tae is faster.
In the blink of an eye, he had reached the manager’s chest.
Hwiung-
Kim Gwan-tae swings his knuckles with a sharp aura.
The knuckle was inserted into the face with a fluid movement.
Not with the manager, but with the face of Kim Gwan-tae himself.
Pow!
“?????????”
I think I can tell what kind of expression I’m making right now by looking at other people’s faces.
What’s happening?
It was clearly Kim Kwan-tae who stretched out his fist, but it was also Kim Kwan-tae whose face turned to stone.
It means he hit himself in the face.
“and… … . “I thought I was wrong.”
I couldn’t help but nod my head blankly at Bisu’s words.
How do I hit back and end up with something like that?
One thing was certain: the manager’s close-quarters fighting skills far exceeded common sense.
“eww… … Heh… … !!”
Surprised, Kim Gwan-tae takes a couple of steps back.
Blood is flowing profusely from his face, which is covered with one hand.
He spat out a few teeth and got into a fighting stance again.
Indeed, B rank is B rank.
Even with such a cruel face, the energy of ether does not subside one bit.
<Kim Gwan-tae’s madness (★★) is activated to its maximum level.>
A close combat knight uses his entire body as a weapon.
As if to prove his words, he tried using fists, elbows, knees, legs, and even headbutting, but the manager did not allow even the slightest blow.
On the contrary… … .
Kwasik!
“Kaaaaaaaa!!”
Kim Gwan-tae’s terrible screams fill the square.
While performing a backward kick, the manager’s suspicious hand movements caused the femoral joint to break.
“eww… … .”
Several of the managers who were watching turned their heads as if they could no longer see.
Not only was there blood, but white bones were sticking out of the skin, giving it a terrible appearance.
If a healer doesn’t help right away, it’s a blow that could cripple you for life.
“Aaaah!!”
The man, who was struggling in pain, soon fainted.
The B-rank knight was in a state of shock without even being able to compete.
He won’t die, but it’s highly unlikely that there will be anyone who can save him.
“let’s go. “If you die, a cleaner will come and clean it up, and if you live, the janitor will crawl out.”
It’s simple.
I nodded to Bisu’s words and then turned my gaze towards the manager.
He is a man whose identity I am curious about in many ways.
Not only did he have an honest(?) face that was not typical of a black market, but more than anything, his every movement was close to art.
What kind of fighting style did you learn?
Let’s check it out.
<This is a hunter whose registration has been canceled. To view records from the day of deletion, you must access central data. Do you want to proceed?>
When did you get permission to do something?
Go ahead.
<Connecting to central database… … Check connection.>
Perhaps because the data was lost, there is little information.
The name is Oh Ji-ho.
He is 49 years old.
Hashtags that describe one’s abilities do not show any characteristics.
It is said that there is no bravado or vanity that is characteristic of Hunter.
At best, only the physical level at the time of deletion can be confirmed… … ??????
“what?”
When I suddenly stop, Bisu tilts his head.
“what’s the matter?”
But there is no context to give her an answer.
It’s the same even if you blink your eyes a couple of times or rub the back of your hand vigorously.
An unbelievable text was spread out before my eyes.
“Nonsense… … .”
‘E’.
The grade of Oh Ji-ho, who subdued a B-rank hunter like twisting a child’s wrist, is,
Surprisingly, it was ‘E’.
* * *
Even as I follow the rain down to the basement, the shock does not go away.
I was wondering if Oh Ji-ho’s grade was S or A, but the only grade he could get was ‘E’.
It is a lower rank than Kim Kwan-tae and even me now.
Something extraordinary happened right in front of my eyes.
Can I neutralize Kim Kwan-tae like Oh Ji-ho?
And without even hurting a single hair?
I shook my head.
‘It’s impossible.’
Of course you can kill it.
This guy is a close combat type, and even a slight scratch from Exa can be fatal to another living creature.
However, this side will also have to endure quite a lot of blood loss.
Maybe the ranking system is more inaccurate than you think?
<The rank system is a guideline created by the Hunter Association by collecting data over several decades, including the amount of ether and the user’s special abilities… … .>
V1 explains things to me who looks suspicious.
There is no need to explain in such a long way.
Because what I looked at all day in Dr. Jin’s lab was hunter-related materials.
Looking at V1’s records, Oh Ji-ho’s hunter qualification was canceled three years ago.
Has his skill improved by more than three levels in three years?
I had no choice but to come to the same conclusion as before.
‘It’s impossible.’
“Why are you so silent?”
“uh… … . “The scene I saw earlier was so shocking.”
“Right? “There’s no one who doesn’t roll their eyes when they see our manager uncle’s skills.”
Bisu keeps his sassy attitude like it’s his job.
I can feel my fondness for Oh Ji-ho in that energetic face.
“I thought you hated all black market people.”
“that’s right. They’re all bastards. But the manager uncle is one of the few humane people here. “My fault is that I don’t talk much.”
As before, Bisu guided me through various parts of the market, and Yasha was sitting cross-legged on the high chair we had first met.
f*ck.
Are you the emperor?
I glared at the yaksha with mischievous eyes.
Rough long hair reminiscent of the mane of an animal and beaky eyes resembling a tiger.
Even the back teeth that make you feel dizzy just by looking at them.
This guy is truly full of rawness.
The Yaksha looks at me and smiles in satisfaction.
“Your skills have improved a lot.”
“How do you know that?”
“You can tell by looking at the fact that we haven’t fallen behind so far.”
It’s annoying, but it’s not wrong.
In fact, while going through the Poison Dungeon, various abilities increased.
Since he was able to easily hunt down monsters thanks to the ampoule that Bisu gave him, it is not unreasonable to say that he benefited from Yasha.
I just hate to admit it.
“Okay, let’s start the deal.”
“Sure.”
The Yaksha raised its huge body and slowly came down the stairs.
The time has come to resume trading with the yakshas.
In the meantime, I worked hard to earn money in the Poison Dungeon.
Plus, a special deal I came up with a little while ago.
