Chapter 81: Occupying the Organization (2)

Known as Cutting Board.

There are two S-rank Hunters in the Shinwa Guild.

First, there was the Hunter of flames nicknamed the Emperor of Flames.

Second, there was a mercenary Hunter recruited from overseas.

His nickname was Cutting Board. His real name was Kal Thomas.

“Whoa, I think I’ve seen that Oppa somewhere before. He’s totally my type, though?”

“You’re so dim-witted. That’s him. One of the guys they told us to watch out for.”

At her comrade’s words, Kim Yeo-jin nodded, saying, “Ah.”

“So he’s an S-rank?”

“What’s this? I told them to wait, but all my friends have been taken out.”

The S-rank Hunter Kal didn’t care even though all his colleagues had been defeated.

“The timing was nice, so I guess I just need to give a nice fight, right?”

At Kal’s words, the five Villains giggled and laughed.

“That Oppa is totally my type. He’s cool.”

“This is why people who fall in love easily are trouble.”

“Fall in love easily? I don’t even spare a glance for ugly people, you know? That’s why I don’t see you as a man.”

“Damn it.”

“Pffft.”

Kal let out a hollow laugh, finding the situation absurd.

It was because the five Villains were so relaxed even while facing him, an S-rank.

“Kal, these guys aren’t as easy as they look…. Gwah!”

“Hey, you’re about to die, so keep your mouth shut.”

One of the Villains stepped on Team Leader 6’s head.

Seeing that, Kal’s brown eyebrows twitched.

The Shinwa Guild is a place where only the best elite Hunters in Korea gather.

There is no need to compete with other Guilds. Because the Shinwa Guild itself was the best, competition only existed within the Guild.

Among them, because Kal was a foreigner, the eyes on him within the Guild were not very pleasant.

It was likely because he was a rival to the Emperor of Flames, the number one S-rank in the country.

Regardless, Kal was in Korea on business. So he didn’t necessarily feel a sense of belonging.

Whether the people of the Shinwa Guild were killed here or not, it was none of his concern.

He wasn’t a volunteer, after all.

Even now, he had simply come out to play because the emergency dispatch allowance had been offered.

However.

“Move that foot.”

“Whoa, so cool.”

“I’m supposed to ask what you’ll do if I don’t move it, right?”

“Probably?”

“Yeah. What are you going to do if I don’t move it?”

It was mockery until the very end.

There was no such thing as camaraderie. However, there was pride as a fellow Hunter.

Even if they weren’t on good terms, they were people walking the same path as Hunters.

“Is this the part about clichés?”

Kal put a cigarette in his mouth.

“Then, I suppose I should say it. I’ll move it for you.”

Squelch.

The Villain who was treading on Team Leader 6 suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and looked down.

One of his feet had been shattered.

Looking at their comrade crawling on the floor while screaming as if he were about to snap, the Villains giggled and laughed.

Cutting Board’s alias was Archer.

Like his alias, he uses arrows. However, the Ability Skill he possessed was invisible arrows.

Swish, swish!

The invisible arrows, Muyongsi, were fired at the other Villains.

“Keuk!”

“Shit!”

Two Villains were struck by the invisible arrows and spat out screams.

An invisible attack is more difficult than one might think. If the exact trajectory of the attack cannot be seen, it is not suitable for performing evasive maneuvers.

“Isn’t it over if we just crush him before he shoots?”

A giant holding a Sledgehammer charged nimbly, which didn’t match his bulk.

“This Oppa’s neck is mine!”

the giant and Kim Yeo-jin attacked from both sides simultaneously.

Kal held his cigarette with one hand and pulled the string of his invisible bow with the other.

Psh, swish!

The giant used the Sledgehammer to protect his face. As expected, he felt something invisible bounce off from the frontal trajectory.

“You’re screwed now!”

Having blocked the attack, the giant swung the Sledgehammer wide.

It was a fast attack, backed by more than just overflowing strength.

Among the corpses here, the ones that were heavily mutilated were all due to the giant’s attacks.

Whoosh!

The exhilarating Sledgehammer tore through the wind.

The giant felt absolutely no impact in his hands.

Kal ducked his body and evaded the Sledgehammer. At the same time, he brought his hand to the giant’s thigh.

Psh!

At that moment, a Muyongsi was embedded into the giant’s thigh.

The giant struck down with the Sledgehammer even while enduring the pain.

Kal dodged his attack and brought his palm to the opponent’s chest.

Once again, blood was vomited out as it passed through Kal’s grip.

“Wow, seriously!”

Kim Yeo-jin rushed in from the side holding a Knife.

Kal stubbed his lit cigarette out on Kim Yeo-jin’s forehead.

While Kim Yeo-jin frowned from the pain of the burn, Kal brought his palm to the opponent’s cheek.

“Uh, don’t do this!”

Psh!

Along with Kim Yeo-jin’s piercing scream, the Muyongsi pierced through her mouth.

“This damn bastard…! Keuk!”

He fired Muyongsi repeatedly toward the Villains who were trying to stand up.

Thanks to that, the Villains were slipping and falling in the blood they had created.

“Is it over?”

Kal took a cigarette from his pocket, put it to his lips again, and lit it.

“Are you okay?”

“I might not have been okay if it wasn’t for you.”

“Is that so.”

Kal helped Team Leader 6 up.

Fortunately, all members of the Shinwa Guild’s Team 6 were still alive.

“First, clean up here and wait until reinforcements arrive….”

Seeing Kim Yeo-jin aiming a Taser Gun was a coincidence.

‘She should have been down…!’

Seeing that, Team Leader 6 threw his body to protect Cutting Board.

Zap!

Team Leader 6 gritted his teeth at the pain transmitted by the electric current.

Still, because he was an Awakened, he didn’t faint immediately. It just really, really hurt.

Kal fired a Muyongsi at Kim Yeo-jin.

Shiiiit!

A transparent arrow was accurately embedded into Kim Yeo-jin’s shoulder.

The blood on the arrow dripped, drop by drop, as if Levitation was holding it in midair.

“Oppa.”

Kim Yeo-jin managed a bright smile even though the pain must have been considerable.

“Being a Hero, it’s a real pain in the ass. Right?”

Kim Yeo-jin reached out her right hand. A black solid line was drawn on her palm.

It slowly widened, and then the mouth of a beast revealed itself.

Something unexpected happened.

Her arm suddenly lengthened.

Kal reflexively fired a Muyongsi while simultaneously protecting his head.

An arrow dug accurately into Kim Yeo-jin’s abdomen.

The red dress became even more stained with red. But she just went ‘hee-hee’ and smiled.

“In our world, it’s either kill or be killed. Not half-baked suppression like this.”

“Aaaargh!”

Kal’s left arm was chewed off by Kim Yeo-jin’s right hand.

In an instant, the woman’s right hand, which had bitten through bone and flesh, munched greedily.

“S-rank? What about it?”

Kim Yeo-jin wore a predator’s smile.

The person who gave her the strength to take revenge had also said it.

That if she fought in earnest, there would be no one who could stop her.

The Smiling Disaster.

That was the alias Kim Yeo-jin had received.

Instead of tending to his torn-off left arm, Cutting Board fired a Muyongsi.

Heroes.

Hunters are basically beings who hunt Monsters.

Combat against humans is not common in Dungeons.

No matter how much they were Villains, as long as they were human, suppression was the top priority rather than killing when fighting.

“Dammit…. Run, you idiots.”

At Cutting Board’s words, Team Leader 6’s pupils shook.

An S-rank Hunter was falling here.

There was only one method that could be chosen now.

“Retreat! Everyone, get up!”

It was the only timing Cutting Board had created.

The other Villains had not yet recovered from Cutting Board’s attack, and Kim Yeo-jin could not attack because she was busy finishing off Cutting Board.

“Oh my, what’s this. You’re running away in this situation?”

Kim Yeo-jin said as if it were absurd.

Team Leader 6 and several other colleagues stood up. However, the colleagues who had injured legs could not run along and fell while trying to get up.

Psh!

The Hunters of Team 6 who failed to escape died while letting out death throes.

Still, without looking back, Team Leader 6 and one fellow Hunter retreated from the scene.

Cutting Board could no longer fire any more Muyongsi.

“Now, let’s part ways.”

Kim Yeo-jin giggled while delivering a final blow to the S-rank of the Shinwa Guild.

The scene of the Shinwa Guild’s S-rank Hunter, Cutting Board, falling was broadcast in real-time.

Great chaos broke out among the people who saw this.

Public opinion regarding the Disaster Agency situation poured out articles like a flood.

“Those crazy bastards! What the hell are they doing right now?”

“Tell them to cut the video immediately!”

“The, the video won’t go down.”

“What?”

“The streaming company says they’ll look into the cause as well.”

The video continued to flow.

Without being hindered by anyone.

-Viewers.

Kay opened his lips in a low voice.

Due to the death of the S-rank Hunter, the comments that were stained with horror paused for a moment.

-This is the Hunter you knew.

Kay had a plan.

The Awakened Criminals who naturally occurred in this world. That is, he offered a business deal to the Villains.

In any world, there is nothing as effective as money for evil people.

It was fine to describe them as subcontractors.

He tempted them by dangling the money they wanted most right in front of their eyes. And they excellently served as bait.

While the subcontractors were being completely cleaned out, Kay set a plan with his colleagues to take over the Agency.

The result was a success.

He prepared a real-time video.

With this video, he promoted the fact that they had taken over the Agency, which was like a symbol of Heroes and Hunters in the country.

The reason for projecting the real-time video to the outside?

-The existence you call a Hero is now crawling on the ground. A Hero who abandons his comrades and runs away.

He was breaking the symbolism held by Hunters.

-You call us Villains. Fine, if that’s a word that symbolizes fear.

In the United States, a war between Villains and Heroes is taking place.

Kay wanted chaos in this country. Only when there is chaos would the world become a place where Villains can thrive.

-Starting today, comrades with the same values as us will join forces, and I guarantee that Hunters who possessed a sense of elitism will be divided.

-If you want to deny it, try and take the Agency back as much as you want.

Kay said so as he turned his camera.

What was visible in the camera video was the appearance of the bound hostages.

They were soaked in fear, looking desperately at the camera with expressions begging to be saved.

Because several people had already died like bugs after opening their mouths, the fear they felt had reached an extreme.

-Surely you won’t launch an aerial bombardment toward innocent people.

This was the reason Kay was streaming.

Even if there are hostages, they could ignore them and launch a bombardment. However, they would never choose to show the appearance of them dying in real-time.

Because the loss would be greater than the gain.

-I’ll say it again. Come fairly, head-on. Hunters.

Kay said so and turned the camera back to its original position.

Now he had stepped on the stairs for what was next.

It was just a little further.

He had bought time. Until ‘that’ arrives.

Every plan was perfect. It certainly should have been.

“…?”

Kay felt a sense of dizziness.

Suddenly, the future changed.

Nothing like this had ever happened before.

Originally, his thought was…

To strike down an S-rank Hunter with powerful strength and buy time.

The opponent, seeing even an S-rank fall, would pause their attack for a moment in order to suppress the Villains using a more certain method.

That timing was his objective.

However, at this very moment, there was an existence that appeared while shattering the future.

-‘Lee Hyunbin’ has donated 5,000 won.

-Coming to crush you now.

Kay’s mouth tightened. On the streaming video, a man was being reflected.

The man wearing a Power Suit put on an Open Hand Glove and opened his mouth again.

“If you’ve received a donation, you should do a reaction.”
