Chapter 344 – The Faded Legend’s Tale (4)
In the blink of an eye, one of the female Hunter colleagues vanished.
Just moments ago, they were laughing and chatting together.
So, it was only natural for the remaining Hunters to be unsettled.
“……What the hell.”
“What just happened?!”
“The Barrier… it pierced through the Defensive Coat?!”
“Is there anyone you can contact? Hurry up!”
“Come on, quit joking! It just blocked a freaking anti-tank gun!”
“It was an ironclad barrier that even blocked my heartfelt confession!”
Meanwhile, the leader unleashes his frustration on Ryu Kang-hyuk, the unexpected cause of the situation.
With a slightly out-of-the-blue accusation.
“Hey, come on! Is it even right to attack a woman like that?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t you feel sorry for her? Do you even have an emotion called sympathy?!”
“Not really.”
“No, f*ck! Not sympathy!”
Of course, it wouldn’t get through to Ryu Kang-hyuk.
Still, the chaos among the Hunters didn’t last long.
Among the Hunters who regained their senses, those with guns began to unleash a hail of bullets at Ryu Kang-hyuk.
In response, Ryu Kang-hyuk gathered all the dildos to create a wall.
– Tiddidididididididing!!!!
“No, f*ck! Why isn’t that getting pierced?!”
“I told you it was custom-made. This cost a fortune.”
A stalemate formed between the Hunters raining bullets and Ryu Kang-hyuk nonchalantly blocking them.
During this standoff, the dildos behind the wall followed Ryu Kang-hyuk’s will.
At the same time, an emotion called longing flickered on Ryu Kang-hyuk’s face.
– Chwarrurrurrur.
“It’s been a while since I tried something like this.”
A legend that once shone brightly.
Of course, now it was merely a record, fading from the memories of many.
That brilliant light was gradually dimming.
Yet, in this moment, to keep a shabby promise tied by a strong bond.
And to protect something precious to someone.
The faded legend began to emit a light as brilliant as it once was.
– Chak. Chak. Chak.
“Ha… let’s do this.”
The first ability. Possessing the power to freely manipulate two 4cm straight lines maintaining a 1.3cm gap within 10m.
Before long, numerous dildos were positioned facing the Hunters beyond the wall.
All except for the minimum dildos needed to maintain the wall.
“Not bad. It’s fewer than before, but still enough.”
With this number, it felt suitable.
So, he decided to move to the next stage.
Second ability. Fixes the controlled objects in place for a certain period.
Since this stemmed from the first ability, it was quite bothersome with its conditions.
But it was a prerequisite for using the third ability.
Third ability. While the object is fixed, accumulation of power is possible.
The fixation time isn’t too long.
Therefore, he must accumulate power as quickly as possible.
Using fists, feet, knees, elbows—anything he could wield.
As the second ability’s duration was nearing its end.
At that moment, the sound of bullets striking the dildos ceased.
Simultaneously, the anxious voices of the leader and the remaining Hunters rang out.
“Is there anyone with spare magazines!!!”
“I have some!!!”
“Hurry up!!”
Then, the sound of someone frantically opening a bag was heard.
Following that sound.
– Tududududuk.
“……”
“……”
The sound of something dropping.
It was as if the atmosphere had frozen in an instant.
Even more so than when Ryu Kang-hyuk had faced them.
Soon, the leader’s trembling voice broke the silence.
“……Why did you open the bag and a Crown Sandfall drop instead of ammunition?!”
“……I mistakenly brought what I used during training.”
“Hey, you f*cking dog!!!!!!!!!!!”
From what was heard, it seemed they used a bag filled with snacks instead of magazines during training.
And it looked like he mistakenly brought that this time.
Hearing this, Ryu Kang-hyuk spoke over the wall.
“Is there chocolate flavor?”
“I only brought strawberry flavor!”
“Shut both of you!!!”
Meanwhile, the useless Hunter diligently answered, while the leader shouted in anger.
Anyway, it was good news for Ryu Kang-hyuk.
He swiftly tore down the dildo wall and released the accumulated dildos.
At that moment, the Hunters sensing something unusual began to shout.
“R-Run!!!”
“Oh no, the dildo’s broken.”
The speed of the flying dildos surpassed the Hunters’ reactions.
Soon followed by ominous sounds and the screams of many Hunters.
“AAAHHH!!! My arm!!! My leg!!!!!!”
“Ugh-! Ugh ugh-! Ugh ugh ugh ugh-!”
“GUHAAK!!! Get something to stop these injuries!!! Quick!!!”
“My eye, f*ck!!! I can’t see! I can’t see!!!!”
“I’m sorry, honey!!! I can’t handle it if I get hit by something like this!!!!!”
Of course, there was a certain female Hunter who wasn’t screaming.
“……It’s small.”
“You’re taking one more hit, you b*tch.”
One dildo, imbued with emotion, flew additionally.
At that moment, suddenly Ryu Kang-hyuk’s mobile phone chimed.
Wondering what was going on, he opened the phone.
Wife [You’re being good, right?]
Wife [If you cheat, you’ll die.]
Messages from his wife appeared.
Somehow, dildos ended up in the weird hands of the Hunters.
It was somewhat ambiguous whether to call it cheating, but for now, he decided to respond cautiously.
His wife had a knack for sensing things.
Writing a somewhat rambling yet lengthy response, he sent it quickly.
He sighed and glanced around.
Despite the attack not being too widespread, quite a few were devastated.
Just once.
Only one time had Ryu Kang-hyuk done this to incapacitate all those Hunters.
It was an unreasonable yet overwhelming attack.
In the face of that attack, the Defensive Coat they boasted was nothing.
Just a piece of expensive fabric.
The same went for the so-called leader.
Earlier, he had commanded gallantly, but now he was in a dreadful state.
Even if he were to be healed, he was half-convinced he wouldn’t be able to live a normal life.
“Oh, that’s a mess.”
“……You son of a b*tch…”
Of course, this mattered not to Ryu Kang-hyuk.
At that moment, a Hunter behind the leader came into view.
Somehow, his body was slowly swelling, glowing slightly.
Seeing this, the leader shouted in shock.
“You crazy b*stard! That’s only supposed to be used in your solo operations!!!”
“F*ck off!!! I might need a Crown Sandfall after all!!!”
The half-crazed Hunter was unfazed.
Instead, he swelled faster and shone brighter.
Judging by what was being said and the phenomenon, it was likely a self-destruct ability.
“The price for taking away the purity of my youth!!!”
“F*ck, you farming bastard. If you self-destruct, go to Yamu-chin.”
Anyway, we couldn’t let that explosion happen here.
“I’m borrowing this.”
– Pwoook!!!
“AAAHHH!!!”
First, he stuck his finger into the leader’s wound, thoroughly soaking it with blood.
Then he quickly approached the Hunter on the verge of exploding.
With the blood-soaked finger, he drew two parallel lines with even spacing on that body.
For the conditions of the first ability.
Not using a pen, but drawing two red lines using blood as ink.
An endlessly anxious condition, but there was no reason to hesitate or fail.
Having repeated this thousands of times throughout his life.
When he saw the two lines his body remembered and reproduced.
He immediately activated the second and third abilities.
First, to fix him in place.
“M-My body won’t move! You plan to handle me roughly, like in ero doujinshi!”
“No, this crazy b*tch is really trying to die.”
Maximizing the accumulation of power with every means possible.
“Head! Chest! Belly!”
“Gah! You f*cking bastard! Just hitting my belly!”
Before the explosion could happen, he canceled the ability.
In accordance, the Hunter who was about to self-destruct turned into a star in the sky.
Soon after, a faint explosion sound followed.
“This son of a b*tch is so damn annoying.”
The moment Ryu Kang-hyuk wiped the blood sticking to his finger on the clothes of the fallen Hunters.
The leader, barely managing to look up at Ryu Kang-hyuk, began to speak quietly.
His trembling voice filled with questions.
“What the hell… what tier are you…?”
“I failed the promotion, so I’m stuck at B-rank.”
“Shut up! Cough…! Don’t talk nonsense!”
It made no sense.
Although rank doesn’t necessarily prove strength, there’s no way someone with this much power could be merely the same rank.
The leader thought Ryu Kang-hyuk was deceiving him to the end.
He wanted to utter some words of insult, but then Ryu Kang-hyuk’s next words erased all thoughts in his mind.
“Team luck really hit rock bottom. Our top guy keeps trolling.”
“……What?”
Enough to wipe out everything the leader had been thinking.
Suddenly at a loss for words, the leader left it alone.
Ryu Kang-hyuk only grumbled, sincerely expressing his complaints.
“A b*stard can at least eat two cannons for the joining fee.”
What Ryu Kang-hyuk mentioned wasn’t Hunter rank, but a game’s rank.
Realizing this, the leader sighed heavily, opening his mouth with a pitiful expression.
“…That was… entirely your fault… right?”
“Is that so? Can’t be helped.”
No sooner had his words ended than the leader’s consciousness blurred in an instant.
Having prepared for quite some time, received an advance payment, and pocketed a bonus.
But ultimately, he hadn’t achieved his goal.
He was genuinely worried about how to clean this up now.
However, the moment he heard what followed from Ryu Kang-hyuk.
The leader gave up thinking and resigned himself to his fading consciousness.
“Now, I guess it’s time to just go eat experience points.”
He felt like he’d genuinely lose his mind if he kept hearing this.
By the way, the leader was a top user.
