Shadow Monarch: Multiverse Ascendance

Jinwoo and Song Chiyeol got out of the taxi and were stopped by the police.

"Could you please show me your identification?"

Song Chiyeol took out his Hunter license from his wallet.

"C-rank Hunter, Song Chiyeol. This is my fellow Hunter, Sung Jinwoo."

Satisfied, the policeman let the pair through.

"We're in your care, Hunter-nims."

"We'll do our best. Thank you for your service."

After exchanging light greetings, the two began to walk toward the Gate. Jinwoo walked behind the old man. In front of the Gate, an Association employee was waiting. It was a young woman with glasses. She approached the pair,

"Hunter Song Chiyeol-nim! Huh? How did Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim get here? You weren't picking up the phone."

Song Chiyeol replied for Jinwoo,

"We were together when I got the call."

"Oh, is that so? We just thought Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim was avoiding the call again."

The employee smiled in jest. A long time ago, she would have been correct. Having received a major injury during a Raid, og Jinwoo once even turned off his phone in fear. However, he had to eventually relent and show up because refusing the Association's call three times would result in expulsion.

"Ah, right. The other Hunters are already here. Why don't you go and say hi?"

The employee gestured to the other Hunters. There were only two of them waiting. After the incident at the Double Dungeon, the number of Hunters in the area had decreased greatly. According to Song Ahjussi, two of the surviving Hunters even chose to retire out of trauma.

'And Juhee-ssi was one of them…'

Jinwoo looked around but did not see Juhee. As the two men approached, the Hunters who had arrived before them avoided his gaze. Jinwoo's eyes narrowed.

'Of course…'

It was two of the men who had abandoned him or Jin-woo back in the underground temple, Kim Sangshik, and the man who cast aside Jinwoo's injured body to the ground. It made sense that they were avoiding him.

"Er, Sung-SSI…"

Kim Sangshik gathered his courage and tried to make a late greeting but was rebuffed by Jinwoo's cold eyes.

"…"

The man closed his mouth and walked away. From a distance away, he looked at Jinwoo and tilted his head.

'Is that human really the Sung Jinwoo that I knew? His eyes had an empty look into them as if he didn't care'

Kim Sangshik's body shuddered. His arms were covered in goosebumps. It was not his fault, Jinwoo had lightly applied a killing intent in his gaze. Thankfully, the man had taken the hint and avoided him. Jinwoo had hoped he would continue to do so going forward as he doesn't care anymore.

"Sung-ssi,"

Song Chiyeol, who was standing next to Jinwoo, suddenly smiled.

"There she comes."

Jinwoo started turning his head towards where the elder was gesturing, but before he fully could,

"Jinwoo-SSI!"

Something soft hugged him tightly and he could clearly feel two solid melons pressing against his chest, a feeling that he loved.

So he didn't sit ideally and hugged her with just a little bit to strength to it.

"Juhee-SSI?"

Juhee examined his body with tears in her eyes.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Your leg! How is your leg-?"

Juhee looked back and forth between Jinwoo's face and legs with surprise. The magnitude was different, but her response was the same as Song Chiyeol's.

"Ah, that's…"

After a moment she steps back, and I hate the disappointment I feel as her breasts stop pressing themselves against my chest.

Jinwoo's explanation and bitter face were interrupted by a loud voice,

"Ah, young love! Hot hot hot!"

A man in a prisoner's uniform was whistling towards them, having just gotten out of a car.

'Are they filming a movie nearby?'

Jinwoo didn't even glance at them. On the other hand, the man behind them piqued his interest.

"Shut your mouth."

While the man in the suit turned back to the car, the prisoner winked at Juhee. From the car, two additional men got out. They were all wearing prisoner's uniforms and handcuffed. The man in the suit led the three prisoners toward the Association employee and greeted her.

"You're finally here."

"Sorry. There was a little traffic on the way."

The Association employee handed the man some papers, and he began to sign them one by one. Meanwhile, the Association employee called over all the Hunters.

"These men are prisoners on a work-release program that will be going with the Hunter-nims into the Raid."

The Hunters' expressions darkened. Kim Sangshik stepped forward,

"Prisoners on work release? You're telling us to Raid with criminals?"

Hunters who had committed crimes had two choices. Fulfill their sentences away in prison or cooperate with the Association and reduce their sentences. Most chose the latter. These criminals would be on "work release". The employee apologetically bowed before the Hunters.

"I really have to apologize. The number of Hunters in our area had decreased too drastically. The Association said we had no choice for the time being. Thankfully, a Hunter from the Hunter Surveillance Department will be accompanying you, so you shouldn't have to worry."

Kim Sangshik asked suspiciously,

"The HSD Hunter will be going with us too?"

"Yes, all of the prisoners are C-rank, but the HSD Hunter is a B-rank, so there's nothing to worry about."

Kim Sangshik relented and nodded. It was a basic theory that you needed at least 10 C-rank Hunters to defeat a single B-ranker. If such a B-ranker was offering to not only watch the prisoners but also help with the Raid, there was nothing to complain about.

'A single B-ranker and three C-rankers…'

There was a killing intent spilling forth from one of all of them. And Jin-woo clearly felt it,

"Alright. Alright."

The HSD Hunter finished with the documents and then appeared before all the Hunters.

"I'm Kang Taeshik of the Hunter Surveillance Department. I'm sure you've already heard about the situation. I'll be keeping a close eye on them, so don't worry about those bastards."

He gestured towards the prisoners, and they came to him and held out their cuffed hands. One by one, Kang Taeshik uncuffed them.

"Aw man, that was really uncomfortable."

"You can't drag us around like this. We're not slaves, ya know?"

The freed prisoners rubbed their wrists and complained. Ignoring them, Kang Taeshik turned toward the Hunters.

"Who'll be leading the Raid today?"

Having taken responsibility normally, Song Chiyeol half-heartedly raised his hand.

Kang Taeshik nodded,

"Understood"

With Song Chiyeol in front, the Hunters started entering the Gate.

"Let's go."

Jinwoo and Juhee also stood before the Gate. Remembering her last trip into a Dungeon, Juhee lightly held onto Jinwoo's sleeves as they entered.

The Dungeon this time was filled with goblins. Faced against the weakest humanoid-type magic beasts, the Raid was a lot easier than expected.

screech!

scree-!

Even before he had powered up, Jinwoo could take on these bizarre-looking things. He carefully defeated them one by one. His combat prowess surprised Juhee and Song Chiyeol, who had not remembered him like this.

As he was slicing them faster than their eyes could keep track of besides Kang but still not using his full speed because of Kang.

"Whoa~"

Jinwoo was using the bare minimum power required, so as to not get noticed, but the difference between his old self was still noticeable.

Juhee approached him and asked,

"Have-have you been learning somewhere?"

"That's er… I've been running every day."

"Running?"

Juhee was confused, but it wasn't exactly a lie.

'But… I'm not getting any good amount of experience points for a single unit. It's good that they were in numbers, still, it was a pain in the ass. As he wasn't using magic here this would have been a walk in the park with it.…'

screech!

"The enemy's level was too low. You've gained a very small amount of experience points."

screech!

The enemy's level was too low. You've gained a very small amount of experience points.

Jinwoo was disappointed. All he kept getting was the message that the goblins' levels were too low.

'At this rate…'

Even worse, the magic cores from the goblins were the lowest tier possible. Jinwoo looked around. Excited at the freedom of movement after a long time, the prisoners were going all out on the goblins.

screech!

screeee!

It was hard to tell who was the human and who was the beast.

'Looks like I don't have to do that much.'

Still, he wasn't getting some good amount of experience or a good income. This concerned Jinwoo, but he knew coming here is more than just exp.

And this reminded him not to get affiliated with the Association. It's going to be like this all the time, so he wasn't interested in the politics of some fat asses. All he wanted was power and women… some hot women.

Maybe he could travel to some other universe and get some hotties as his lovers. Who cares if it's Polyamory he was ready and if women are agreeing with his world and its laws can go and suck his dick. He can already imagine having fun with his favorite Waifu's. It's making him harder just by thinking about it.

His wildest dreams and imaginations become reality. Who wants more than this? Having his favorite Waifu's in 3d as his wives traveling with them creating a family having wild and fun nights.

It is far more tempting than I care to admit, but I died without having much fun in bed, I don't want to again. And why not I am a healthy male with ever growing power and wealth and I don't think I look bad.

'Lust must be suppressed.'

Jin-Woo shook his head to get rid of his thoughts. As he looked down and saw his fully erect cock. It was good that he was killing while continually moving he was sure if he stand in one place someone will notice the huge bulge in his pants

He sighed as he knew this happened because haven't masturbated since before his death, after all, so should get laid as soon as he could.

Anyway, the Raids under the Association were mostly D-rank or E-rank Gates, and if he was getting any experience points in those low-level Dungeons, there was no point in staying with the Association.

'And at this point, I can easily take care of mother's hospital bills… in fact I had enough that could last at least three years even after paying for the new house and those expensive bills'

He could leave the Association whenever he wanted. This was why having money was good. It allowed Jinwoo more freedom in the paths that he could take.

While he was lost in thought, the party had ventured deep into the Dungeon.

"Huh?"

"Hmm…"

They came across three different paths. Kang Taeshik suggested to Song Chiyeol,

"The Dungeon's difficulty is rather low. Shall we split up here?"

"Sounds good."

Song Chiyeol agreed. Jinwoo closed his eyes and focused his senses.

'Now which path leads to the boss?'

He had hoped at least the boss would give him some small amount of experience or there should be waves of goblins. Soon, the energy of the various lifeform in the Dungeon entered his senses. Opening his eyes, Jinwoo told Song Chiyeol,

"Ahjussi, let's go to the left path."

"Alright."

Jinwoo, Juhee, and Song Chiyeol chose the left path. Kang Taeshik and the prisoners choose the right path. The remaining two went down the middle path.

Jinwoo's heartbeat increased slightly.

'The boss is at the end of this path. But it wasn't for that it was for Kang Taesik'

He was looking forward to fighting, getting the exp which should be good with Kang Taesik being a B-rank and him gaining a 5% extra bonus exp with the title skill "The Way Of The Shamblu" and of course how can forget about the Stealth' skill which is something he wants more than anything for now.

The boss couldn't be called strong, but it definitely gave off a tougher presence than the goblins. It should be around C-Rank. Just after taking a few steps into the left path, a group of goblins appeared and blocked their way.

"Kikik."

"Kiriririk."

"Kiiik."

There were about ten of them. Holding wooden clubs, wooden swords, and wooden staves, the goblins gave absolutely no sense of danger to Jinwoo.

'Aren't they tired of this?'

Jinwoo scrunched his face in annoyance. These worthless things that ran at him with nearly no experience points or money were just a thorn in his sides.

"There are ten of them…"

"What should we do? Should we group with the others and come back?"

However, the other two with him were taking it much more seriously.

"Well, since they're just goblins, we should just give it a go."

"Hmm… Okay."

A fireball appeared in Song Chiyeol's hand and Juhee began preparing her healing magic. Jinwoo scratched the back of his head.

'Now that I think about it, I've never been this relaxed in a Dungeon before… even if it's just my 11th dungeon'

Song Chiyeol interrupted his thoughts,

"Sung-ssi, are you ready?"

"Yes."

Jinwoo matched the pace of his teammates and slowly stepped up toward the goblins. Suddenly, a scream rang forth from somewhere.

"Uwaaaak!"

"Ahhhh!"

It wasn't a goblin. It was a human scream. Jinwoo and Co. looked at each other. Jinwoo knew who this was. Just as they thought the screams had died out, another one rang forth.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Song Chiyeol's face hardened,

"Let's go check it out."

The three Hunters quickly ran in the direction of the scream. Jinwoo could've easily gone ahead of the two but decided to match their speed for their safety. After running for some time, they came across the source.

Juhee discovered someone and shouted,

"Over there! Someone is…"

The HSD Hunter Kang Taeshik was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. He shouted at the approaching party,

"B-be careful! Those bastards are still around somewhere!"

Appearing to have shouted with the last bit of his strength, Kang Taeshik collapsed face-down onto the ground. Unable to ignore him, Juhee quickly ran toward his body.

"I'll heal him!"

Even after everything she had gone through, Juhee still held pride as a B-rank Healer. Even if there were enemies around, her healing would be quick. She concluded that it would be best to heal Kang Taeshik before they could attack.

"Please just wait."

She held out her hands in front of Kang Taeshik, and lightly gathered in her hands.

It was at that moment, Kang Taeshik shot up from the ground and stretched a hand filled with magic power toward Juhee's throat.

woosh!

Before his hand could reach Juhee's throat, someone grabbed his wrist in the nick of time.

grab!

"Ah…!"

Taking a few steps backward in surprise, Juhee fell onto the ground.

Kang Taeshik was surprised.

'Someone stopped my attack at this distance?'

It was easy for a higher-ranking Hunter to dispose of a lower-ranking one. That's why his first target was the female Hunter, who was a B-ranker like him. Fortunately for him, she was a noncombat-class Hunter, so he had expected to take care of her easily through a surprise attack.

But his attack… was stopped.

The efforts he put toward acting disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Kang Taeshik's eyes followed the hand holding his wrist to Jinwoo's face. Jinwoo's eyes look at. Kang Taeshik frowned,

"Just a shitty Association-affiliated Hunter?!"

woosh!

Kang Taeshik's other first flew towards Jinwoo's face, but the man easily turned his head and dodged the attack.

'What?'

Kang Taeshik tries to throw aside Jinwoo's grip with strength. But he failed to do so…

"What?"

Kang Taeshik was also surprised. It was a strength worthy of a high-ranking Hunter.

Having a hard time freeing himself from Jinwoo's hands, Jinwoo tightened his grip as Taeshik had a grim look on his face he realized that he can't overpowered the opponent by strength alone.

But to his luck, Jinwoo wanted to have a good fight to see how he fared against an assassin of B rank. So Jin-woo let him go but not before delivering a punch in the face hard enough to send him flying back into the wall, as he falls, it looked like he won't be getting up any time soon.

But in an instant Kang Taeshik got up and wiped the blood on his lips as his face was slowed but there was a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

As Kang Taeshik runs towards Jinwoo and punches him in the stomach, doing so 200hp damage as Jinwoo backed away from all the momentum. Again showing how great Jin-woo's defense is with a 25% reduction in physical attacks.

On the other hand, Kang realized who was the clear winner in this exchange by the fact that before he Jinwoo didn't even flinch from the hit.

Plus he was also aware he wasn't a strength type and he knew he could never beat a rank tank martial artist in physical power alone.

As both men looked at each other with wider smiles the first exchange showed the difference between both of them when it comes to strength and defense.

While viewers were shocked to see the powerful exchange, especially from who it came from supposedly the weakest hunter in the world. and before anyone could say anything.

Kang Taeshik rained his fists upon him mercilessly. Not losing to his speed, Jinwoo dodged and counterattacked.

Now it was the taste of speed, reaction time sense, and fighting expressions.

Hit! Strike! Woosh! Bam! Pow!

Hit! Strike! Woosh! Bam! Pow

Hit! Strike! Woosh! Bam! Pow

The two men ceaselessly traded and evaded each other's blows. Neither of them backed off.

While they were fighting, Song Chiyeol grabbed Juhee and pulled her away from the danger.

"A-ahjussi…"

Juhee could not speak, stunned. Song Chiyeol was even more surprised than her.

'How is this possible…?'

Their offense and defense were happening at an unbelievable speed. It was too fast even to track with his own eyes. The high-ranking Hunter's movements made sense, but Sung Jinwoo was not the man he had remembered. The young man was keeping up with the B-ranker.

'His speed is too fast even for this C-ranker's eyes!'

He was correct about his feelings earlier. The Jinwoo that was fighting before him was not the same weak E-ranker from before. But the winner was clear this time Jinwoo certainly puts up the best fight, but the lack of experience was against him, for every six-hit block or dodge two more get through him.

With that, there were numerous wounds and cuts on Jinwoo's body. But those cuts and wounds aren't enough to slow Jinwoo and the cuts and wounds themselves were healing at a visual rate.

Plus slowly but surely Jinwoo's body was getting used to the fighting and adapting to its ever-increasing sta as there was

Having traded dozens of exchanges in a blink of an eye, the two fighters backed away from each other to catch their breath. To look at each other to see the confidence.

Jinwoo looked at Kang Taeshik with narrowed eyes,

"The blood on your clothes… It's not yours, is it?"

Kang Taeshik rubbed his wrists and replied,

"That's right. It's those fuckers' blood. Putting that aside, to think that I'd meet a Hunter like you here."

He was truly awed and amazed by this. He had no idea that there was an Association-affiliated Hunter that was a high-ranker.

'This is not good.'

He had thought that today was the best opportunity to act, but Jinwoo's appearance had thrown a wrench in his plans.

Kang Taeshik asked out of curiosity,

"Who are you? What's your ranking?"

How are you recovering so fast? Do you have some kind of skill for it? You should be paralyzed by now As I am sure I only cut in a place where the Weak Points are located.

Jinwoo summoned Casaka's Poisoned Fang in his hand and answered.

"Sung Jinwoo. E-rank." Jin-woo said with a wide smile as he looked at the system window he was waiting for this entire time.

Ding~!

Emergency Quest: Deal With The Enemies!

Those with murderous intent towards the 'Player' have been detected. Ensure your safety by dealing with these enemies.

Enemies to deal with: 1

Enemies dealt with: 0

Non-compliance will result in a penalty.

Jinwoo confirmed the contents of the emergency quest were issued meaning anyone can be a target of the system just with an attack and blood lust. and sighed in relief.

'This wasn't all for nothing.'

He had hoped that letting Kang Taeshik make the first move would result in an emergency quest, just like the time with Hwang Dongseok's party or the robber. He tested it to make sure and the results were as expected. The moment Kang Taeshik struck with a killing intent, the message popped up.

-4. B-ranker Kang Taeshik-

Kang Taeshik felt like he got slapped in the face. Even amongst the B-rankers, he had never lost in speed, and now this man who had kept up with him was introducing himself as an E-ranker.

And he knew the Jinwoo's speed was pretty similar to his own if not faster.

'Who is this fucker kidding?'

Kang Taeshik grinded his teeth.

'Wait…'

There was something that tripped him up.

'If he's really a high-ranking Hunter, there's no way he would be here.'

The Hunters who worked for the Association basically groveled for scraps. After all, the Gates that the Association had to clear were those that were passed up by the Guilds or private parties for being too weak. Compared to the other Hunters, the Association-affiliated Hunters did not earn much and were even looked down on by most.

So this bastard was surely an E-ranker. Just one that was hiding his skill.

'Still, even a false ranker wouldn't be working under the Association.'

After all that, Kang Taeshik came upon a conclusion.

'…Awakening after Awakening. Reawakening'

Now that he thought about it, he recalled a short time ago when the upper management of the Association was excited at the news of a potential Reawakening happening in this area.

'They said it was an Association-affiliated Hunter…'

Kang Taeshik cursed himself, as he realized he should've remembered the Hunter's name. If the man was putting off his retest, he would've still been working in the area as an E-ranker. To think that he would be facing off against him now… He had thoroughly looked over the list of Hunters participating in today's Raid but did not pay attention to the possibility that the Reawakened Hunter would be here.

'That's some bad luck I've got…'

He could not help but think this way.

'If I knew this, I should've asked for more money…'

Kang Taeshik thought back on the event that occurred a few days ago and licked his lips.

X–X–X–X

(You can skip it if you like.)

A few days ago.

A café near the Association Headquarters.

Kang Taeshik spoke as he sat down.

"Why did you call me?"

The middle-aged man sitting across from him looked emaciated.

'He said he was a president of some business?'

He had never met the man, but after repeatedly being called, Kang Taeshik relented and decided to give the man his time.

The man seemingly spoke to himself,

"I heard nobody knows what happens in a Dungeon."

His voice was so small; Kang Taeshik had to ask him to clarify,

"What do you mean by that?"

"This is all the money I've gathered."

The man slid a bankbook across the table. Kang Taeshik stared back and forth between the man and the bankbook, then picked it up and checked its contents. The bankbook contained 2 billion won.

"And you're giving this to me… why?"

The man replied to Kang Taeshik's suspicious face,

"One of the prisoners under your watch violated my daughter. She hanged herself afterward. My wife collapsed out of shock and is still hospitalized."

The man spoke with tears on his face.

"And they say the son of a bitch who did it is going to go free in just a few years… How could I sleep knowing this?"

The man raised his eyes, and his face was filled with rage and sorrow.

"I think you know what I mean by this."

The man bowed his head,

"Please, Hunter-nim! I beg of you!"

A quietness fell between the two men.

Kang Taeshik leaned back on his chair and fell into deep thought.

After some time, he opened his mouth,

"Do you know why I went into the Hunter Association's Hunter Surveillance Department?"

"Sir?"

"As a B-rank Hunter, I would be considered a high-ranking Hunter. It wouldn't be strange for me to receive offers from various Guilds. Yet do you know why I chose this job with its shitty pay?"

"I… I don't know."

The corners of Kang Taeshik's mouth rose,

"Compared to fighting monsters, I much rather enjoy fighting humans."

For that purpose, working for the HSD was a dream job. He was able to legally beat up other Hunters. And occasionally, if they resisted too hard… He couldn't help but kill them.

'Couldn't… help it…. pft…'

Kang Taeshik swallowed his laughter.

"As you've asked, it won't be much for me to take care of the bugs you're referring to. The problem is, there will be Hunters other than the bugs in the Dungeon. Well, they're all bugs to me, but still, what would you have me do about those other Hunters?"

At Kang Taeshik's words, the man frowned disappointedly. All he wanted was revenge for his daughter. As if mocking him, Kang Taeshik put on an ugly smile.

"I'm going to ask for 1 billion more for taking care of the other Hunters. Does that work for you?"

X–X–X–X–X

However, if those other Hunters included a Reawakened Hunter, 3 billion would not nearly be enough. His life was on the line, after all. The so-called E-rank Hunter was expelling an oppressive amount of pressure. He was poised to leap at any opening Kang Taeshik showed.

'He's not an easy target.'

He had the confidence to win. Even before he became an Awakened Being, Kang Taeshik had never lost a duel. plus he had seen the young man do hold the power but he lacks experience, but he also noticed So called E-rank Hunter was adapting to the fight and it wasn't in human speed no it was much faster it felt as if his body was adopting and his forgotten mussel memories were returning.

Still, it would not be an easy victory. He may need to change up the plan a little.

Suddenly, the E-rank Hunter spoke,

"Those prisoners… why did you kill them?"

"One of them raped a girl. Her father came to me and asked me directly for it. They were beasts that deserved it. All I did was to kill that beast."

The E-rank Hunter listened without speaking. Perhaps it'd be possible to talk his way out of this. Kang Taeshik moved into action,

"After all this, I don't really feel like killing you. Why don't you just look away for today? If you promise to be quiet, I won't touch you guys anymore"

Of course, he had no intention of letting them go. But a direct confrontation here could result in him being injured, and he wanted to avoid that. He would let them go, then take care of them one by one later.

But the E-ranker laughed in his face,

"That's something you should've said before attacking. Now that you've failed your ambush, you're going to try and talk your way out of this? And I can clearly feel your bloodlust and those eyes I had seen many they are not the events of a normal man but the eyes of a Killer"

Well, he was not wrong. Kang Taeshik also smiled.

'So it's going to be this way after all.'

Then, he would give it all he has. Kang Taeshik's eyes became filled with bloodlust. His eyes quickly scanned the E-rank Hunter up and down.

'Where did he get the dagger?'

Before he realized it, the E-ranker was holding a dagger.

'Well… whatever.'

It did not matter where he had gotten it. Only what he was holding. Kang Taeshik finished a brief analysis. The enemy was a dagger user with a quick body, an ultra short range fighter. His class was probably assassins with strength, speed, and defense focused.

Coincidentally, it was the same as his own class. But the bastard only Reawakened a short time ago, so the difference in experience would be massive. He would not have the chance to show off his skills.

"This sunbae will teach you a few things."

Kang Taeshik took out a knife from his waist and mocked the E-rank Hunter.

"Can you do something like… this?"

Kang Taeshik used the skill, 'Stealth', and his body became invisible. At his disappearance, the E-ranker did not react, just looked around.

'Of course.'

The 'Stealth' skill was not just a simple invisibility.

Appearance, sound, and smell!

All the traces detectable by the normal senses of a human being would be erased, that was 'Stealth'. Even among the Assassin-class Hunters, only a handful of them could use 'Stealth'. Regardless of their rank, only the lucky ones received this skill at their Awakening.

'Surprise, bitch!'

Kang Taeshik moved behind the E-ranker in an instant. His back was completely exposed.

'It's over.'

He had expected a difficult fight, but this was a lot more boring than he thought. If the opponent had anticipated the 'Stealth' skill, he might've been able to do something. The difference in experience ended up being the deciding factor, after all.

'Die!'

Kang Taeshik's knife stabbed straight toward Jinwoo's ribs.

clang!

Two daggers clashed and sparked. With his 'Stealth' released, Kang Taeshik's eyes widened.

"How?"

The E-ranker's dagger was blocking his own.

Kang Taeshik looked up at the E-rank Hunter's face in surprise.

The man opened his mouth with an expressionless face.

"It finally came up."

"What came up…?"

Unable to understand Jinwoo's words, Kang Taeshik felt an unknown sense of terror wash over him.
