“what the fuck..” Brown gets up, shaking off the dust.

He was now racking his brain hard to understand this strange situation.

12 years of living as an S-class hunter and the number one of Big Number.

He had never felt this kind of helplessness in any fight.

Of course, there were no crises among the many battles I fought in my life.

When he met Black Dragon or when he faced Annika, an S-class hunter from India, he struggled to the point where he felt doubtful about himself, who was confident that he was the best in the world.

but.

Those two intense battles were different from the current one.

It’s hard to believe, but he was unable to do anything in the battle with the man in front of him named Kang Ji-hoon, an unprecedented hunter from Korea.

“you’re making fun of me, aren’t you? son of bitch”

Brown is very excited and shoots at Jihoon.

Are you playing with me?

The movement skill he was using didn’t seem to be anything special.

Horsepower amount, speed, movement distance…

No matter how you look at it, it was a C-level skill that had to be highly regarded.

However, the movements of the person who applies that skill.

The speed and fighting sense with which he narrowly avoided his own attacks and used his skills as if playing with them were at a level that was completely unbelievable.

It’s like an adult playing with a toy sword when a child attacks him with a real sword…

Brown was feeling an unbearable sense of humiliation at this moment.

shrug

Jihoon raises both hands and gestures that he doesn’t understand what they are saying.

To Brown, who was very angry, even that appearance could not help but be unpleasant.

“shit…your skill is like a kid’s pra-”

Powwow

Ji-hoon’s body, who stepped on the step method, appears behind Brown in an instant through a skill wormhole and blows away his power.

Powwow

This time Jihoon appears from his left and lands a kick to his thigh.

Powwow

Powwow

Powwow

Before Brown could come to his senses, Jihoon appeared from all directions and attacked him.

He was trying to put away his childish skills and seriously yell at them to attack him.

However, as Brown looked at the wormhole, which could not be predicted when and where it would pop out, Brown had a vague realization.

The skill that guy is using right now.

It didn’t matter how ineffective the skill was or how low the level was.

The hunter’s natural ability and understanding of the skill using the skill was infinitely expanding the scalability of the insignificant skill.

“right…shit…i had forgotten that…”

After being beaten, Brown, who was kneeling on the floor and bowing his head, bursts out from his body an incomparably powerful magical power.

Duuut

Brown raises his magic power to the maximum and casts a skill.

The intense magical power emanating from his body seeps into his veins and continues to ravage his entire body.

What is more important than the skill level is the understanding and application of the skill and the hunter’s natural ability.

Brown smiled as he casted a B-class skill specialized in strengthening the body, rather than an A-class skill that assisted movement and cut through the air.

A sensation he had forgotten for so long envelopes his entire body.

The most familiar, comfortable, and most authentic skill.

The feeling that he could enjoy a proper fight for the first time in a long time pounded his heart.

“…Isn’t that really just a skill”

Jihoon couldn’t help but be surprised again when he saw Brown’s changed momentum and his skills.

Aside from the enormous amount of magical power, the method of operating magical energy was very similar to the martial arts use of the martial arts people.

Grinning

Jihoon felt his body heating up at the thought that he might be able to fight a martial arts versus martial arts battle for the first time in a long time.

Jiyiing

When Ji-hoon’s inner energy bursts out from his Danjeon and surrounds his body, the Baekwol that So-jeong is holding begins to vibrate.

“Uh…this…why is it like this…”

Baekwol was shouting to be assimilated into the emotions of his master, Jihoon, and to be allowed to fight together.

Although he was far away, Jihoon could clearly hear Baekwol crying.

“Be patient. Because I want to punch for the first time in a while”

Jihoon answered cheerfully, as if Baekwol was listening.

Jihoon and Brown’s eyes meet.

Grinning

Grinning

The same smile appeared on the faces of the two hunters.

and

Sigh.

pop

pop

pop

The two, who were rushing at each other, continued to exchange punches and kicks.

Jihoon avoids Brown’s fist coming at his face with a small nod.

pop

Brown crosses his arms to block Jihoon’s kick that is about to hit his stomach.

puff

pop

puff

Two fists clashing repeatedly in the air

As the two clash, the air shakes and the floor cracks here and there, kicking up dust.

It was so fast that I couldn’t see the exact fight,

The movements of Sojung and Ellie could be seen vaguely in their eyes.

an ignorant brawl

It was a fight that was just right.

It was not a flashy fight between hunters.

Fists and feet. It was just a series of ignorant hitting and blocking.

However, those simple movements were anything but ordinary.

knock knock

The shield Ellie unfolds surrounds her and Sojung.

This was because in the aftermath of Jihoon and Brown’s clash, waves shaking the atmosphere and fragments of magical energy kept flying this way, threatening them.

“Ah…I’m okay-”

“It’s a shield that I put up to protect myself. By the way, those two people… aren’t they fighting so ignorantly?”

Sojung told Ellie that it was okay as she used her magic to deploy a shield, but she did not remove the shield and kept her eyes on the two people’s battle.

“Yes…Ignorant, what kind of hunter fight is that…”

” Right? It doesn’t just look that way to me, right?”

“Yes…but…they seem ignorant…but they both…look somewhat happy…”

“Sure…”

The place where their eyes rested.

Jihoon and Brown were really fighting and laughing brightly.

***

The battle didn’t take long.

“Phew… I think I’ve been sweating for the first time in a while? Ellie~ Come to work and translate now!”

Jihoon wipes the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and calls Ellie from afar.

Ellie and Sojung run towards them.

And soon

“You say it hurts…”

“…”

Brown sprawling across the floor. He spoke with difficulty, not yet smiling.

Ellie was currently doing her duty as an interpreter, but her expression was distorted with shock.

Brown, an S-class hunter and head of the world-class guild Big Number.

It was clearly Brown who had fallen to the floor and couldn’t get up, and it was Jihoon who was standing unscathed.

That fact didn’t change no matter how many times she washed her eyes, but Ellie still couldn’t believe it.

This is because… it was a result that made no sense.

Jihoon, who had increased his strength, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Brown without using any more skills.

And, they won overwhelmingly.

Jihoon and Brown seemed to be on good terms, but for a moment…

All of Jihoon’s attacks were faster and more powerful than Brown’s.

Brown has raised his magical power to its maximum and unleashed his most familiar skills to the maximum…

The confrontation between the two ended very neatly, confirming the gap between the two.

“… Hunter Kang… is asking what percentage of his maximum strength was used… ”

Ellie put her ear to the fallen face of Brown and calmed herself down again, interpreting his question and conveying it to Jihoon.

“What percentage? Um…well…I’m not sure? Because I didn’t use the sword… If I had used the sword, I could have finished it in one hit”

Wow

Ellie’s jaw drops.

A man who says he can defeat an S-class hunter in one hit.

There is not the slightest hint of lies or bravado in Jihoon’s eyes.

Even looking at the state of Brown, stretched out on his back and barely breathing…she couldn’t help but believe that Jihoon wasn’t lying for no reason.

Ellie slowly lowers her head and translates Jihoon’s words to Brown.

“what? ha…ha…hahaha!!!”

Upon hearing this, Brown bursts into laughter without even being able to get up.

Jihoon slowly looks at him like that.

Then, his expression becomes serious and he spits out words.

“Brown. You are strong and have excellent fighting sense. This was my first time meeting an S-class hunter… It was more fun than I thought…”

Ellie, who looked at Jihoon’s serious expression, immediately interpreted his words and relayed them to Brown, who was stretched out.

“But, with your level of skill, it would have been difficult to deal with all the elves I defeated at the gate. If you had entered the gate instead of me… you would have been killed or seriously injured.”

Ellie had a serious expression on her face as she listened to the contents, but she did not stop and translated everything.

“That gate…make sure no one, including you, can enter. And if anything goes wrong with the gate, please contact me right away. Kundanil… the ones that the hidden boss mob you talk about will bring next… no one in this world can stop them except me.”

Jihoon became certain of one thing through his battle with S-class Hunter Brown.

The warriors he met in the forest he visited, the elves that Kundanil brought from another world.

They were all much stronger than modern hunters. Even better than S-class hunter Brown…

This world that Hunter protects is truly very weak.

If Kundanil subordinated beings stronger than elves from the other world and brought them to the modern world, everyone, regardless of whether they were S-class or A-class, would die without any use.

Be it to unlock the secret of movement skills or to prevent the fragile modern world from falling into ruin…

Jihoon was determined to catch Kundanil himself.

It was a moment when negotiations with a big number were necessary regarding the authority of the ‘gate that does not disappear’.
