33 – Midnight Raid
When Kanghyuk sensed something was wrong, the hour hand of the clock was about to pass 2:00.
rustle!
‘… Ambush?’
At that moment, Kang Hyuk opened his eyes and immediately cast shield magic.
… Tuoong!
Immediately after, a club hit his shield. Indeed, as Kanghyuk had expected, someone had heard that they were trying to ambush him.
“Magic… ?”
“Sir. I’ve never heard of a wizard.”
“Heh heh heh, what does that matter? Whether it’s magic or whatever, you’ll end up prostrate in front of us and pray.”
Despite the failure of the ambush, the intruders seemed very relaxed for some reason.
Kanghyuk frowned and slowly raised his upper body. In front of him, a total of four masked people stood.
“By the way, do you really need to wear this mask? It is very frustrating.”
“You can take it off if you feel uncomfortable. The reason I wore a mask in the first place was to avoid CCTVs nearby.”
Scared to finish his words, the four masked men took off their masks.
Kanghyuk glared at the person with the most familiar face among them. His true identity was none other than Master Baekwol, a C-class hero.
“Seonsa Baekwol… .”
“Heh heh, nice to meet you. Did you meet in the morning?”
“What the hell is this?”
Kang Hyuk was truly absurd.
Why is Master Baekwol trying to ambush him?
Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t figure out what the situation was.
Kang Hyuk was quite expected.
Why does a hero touch a hero… ! The reason was just jealousy.
‘Master Baekwol, this senile old man… ! Are you trying to attack me in the middle of the night just out of jealousy?’
Kang Hyuk glared at Master Baekwol. Then he cautiously reached for the revolver he had placed beside the bed.
“Uh-huh!”
…Clap!
However, his actions were soon stopped. Because one of the raiders had taken his gun and had thrown it away.
“hehehe, Gunners without guns are just ordinary people.”
“Oh, that gun looks pretty good?”
“Sir. May we take this revolver?”
“Heh heh heh, do whatever you want.”
Master Baekwol smiled benevolently and brushed his beard. Then he said to Kang Hyuk.
“Fufu, that must be really embarrassing. Why is I here doing this?”
“It must be because of jealousy.”
“Jealous? Huh… Why do you think I feel jealous of you? I just want to teach my younger juniors. You need to know what manners are.”
At Baekwol’s words, Kang Hyuk shook his head.
Courtesy is a b*tch… ! As expected, it was clear that Master Baekwol felt strong jealousy towards Kang Hyuk. He must have thought of forcing Kanghyeok to kneel and enjoying the situation greatly. It is to relieve envy and jealousy toward a rising hero.
“ha… I’m really dumbfounded.”
Kang Hyuk let out a sigh. And after a while, thinking deeply about something, Kang Hyuk asked Zen Master Baekwol.
“So, what do you want from me?”
“hehehe, let me kneel for now.”
“What next?”
“Then let me crawl between my crotches. In the sense of wishing you well in the future, Meongmeong! Barking like a dog.”
“… Ha ha ha ha ha!”
At Baekwol’s words, the three of them burst into laughter.
Kang Hyuk smiled with them. By this, it could be seen that their fate was completely decided.
“Let me tell you some fun facts.”
“what?”
“First, my gun is not one.”
Flash!
Kang Hyuk has newly ‘created’ a revolver.
Immediately after that, he fired a bullet at the man standing closest to him.
Taaang!
“… !”
When the bullet hit the middle of his forehead, the man collapsed as he smiled. However, Kang Hyuk’s actions did not end there. Kanghyuk continued with a sneer.
“Second, the skeleton was actually made by me.”
“What, what… ?”
“I am the ‘Undead Master’.”
Kang Hyuk cast the ‘skeleton creation’ skill on the man he had just killed.
The flesh and muscle melted in an instant, and soon the soldier made of bones stood up.
rumble… !
“… No, my God!”
Master Baekwol and the other two opened their mouths as they looked at the skeleton that had risen.
They were so surprised that they didn’t even think of a quick counterattack against Kanghyuk.
“Yes, you bastard… ! You are the master of the skeletons! You were the villain!”
“You find out too late.”
“I-I will inform the association of this fact! Do you think you will be safe even after doing that!”
Master Baekwol shouted while spitting. However, Kanghyuk only let out a smirk. Now they were making a big mistake. The illusion that you can get out of here alive.
“Kill!”
Kanghyeok gave orders to the skeletons and immediately rushed at them.
He had the intention of killing everyone present.
***
About three minutes had passed since the melee began.
Taaang!
“… aaagh!”
At the same time as the fire came out of the revolver, one more victim ended up being lost.
Master Baekwol looked hurriedly to the side, feeling terrified. Next to him was ‘C-Class Hero Bear Paw Tom’, and if the bullet had missed a little, it would have been him, not Tom, to fall.
‘This is a nightmare! It’s a nightmare!’
Master Baekwol began to step back.
He hadn’t expected the situation to turn out this way.
In fact, he was aware to some extent that Spitfire was a strong person. It was because he was the one who defeated the three skeletons.
But even he thought that he would have no choice but to kneel in front of four C-class heroes… !
In the first place, from the position of Master Baekwol, this ‘taming a rising hero’ was all too familiar. This is because he has trampled on and tamed countless new heroes in this way.
Contrary to Baekwol’s prediction, however, Spitfire did not kneel before him. Rather, he rushed at it as if he had found some tasty prey, and even killed two people in an instant.
“… Ha, surrender! surrender!”
In the end, ‘C-Class Hero Shining’ declared surrender, probably thinking that everyone would die at this rate. However, Kang Hyuk seemed to have no intention of accepting his surrender.
“Take care of it.”
He gestured at the skeleton.
Right at that moment… !
“Wait a minute! It’s called surrender… !”
… Wooded Deuk!
Shining couldn’t finish talking. It was because the skeleton had attacked him and completely shattered his neck.
… dump!
From nob le mt l. co m
Just like that, Shining also turned into a cold corpse.
“… Ahh.”
He was so terrified that Master Baekwol couldn’t even utter his voice.
Three heroes who died in an instant… !
Baekwol Seonsa realized it only now.
The fact that they entered the tiger’s den with their own feet.
“Damn old man. What kind of confidence did you come to me with? Didn’t you think you could defeat me with just four C-rankers?”
“Bo, I am… .”
“Do you really want to live?”
“… !”
When Spitfire asked, Master Baekwol widened his eyes. And after a while, he dropped to his knees.
“Say, save me!”
“Why should I?”
“Bo, I will support your activities! I don’t know why you, a villain, want to be a hero… Oh, anyway! If you have allies within the Hero Association who can help you, then you won’t be bad either!”
Baekwol said urgently.
He had already completely lost the will to surrender.
In the first place, his ability was an ability that could not exert great power against the same human beings.
Moreover, the Spitfire’s abilities were not limited to marksmanship. Not only could the Spitfire summon guns from the air, but it could also handle skeletons. Against such an existence, there was no way that Master Baekwol could win the battle.
“Certainly, it would be convenient to have an ally acting as a spy.”
“Well, then… ?”
“But I mean.”
Clap!
The Spitfire raised its muzzle toward Baekwol Seonsa. Master Baekwol hurriedly tried to say something, but his actions were one step too late. Taang! A Spitfire bullet passed through his forehead.
… dump!
After that, Baekwol’s body fell to the floor.
The last thing Master Baekwol had on this world was, ‘It’s not a cat, it’s a tiger!’ However, in the end, no one would ever know what he was thinking. Because the dead couldn’t come back to life.
“But it is. Experience is more important to me.”
Kang Hyuk blew the muzzle and sat down on the bed.
There was a thick bloody smell in the room.
