Chapter 64

“Jungmin, they are looters.”

After hearing Leah’s words, Jung-min looked at the six approaching men with ‘eyes of emotion’.

‘The stats… are comparable to those of [Daesung]’s combat unit, aren’t they? That long-haired man has stats similar to Jun-gi. great? A force comparable to that of a large shelter’s battle group…’

Admiring the stats, Jung-min took a step forward and faced the men.

Leah was reassuring the children by saying something in a small voice while holding Eunjin and Minjun, who were trembling with anxiety.

Six men stopped after walking to a place about 10m away from Jeongmin.

One of them looked at Jung-min and said.

“Excuse me. I’d like to ask you something. Do you know the way to [Nadus] Shelter? I think we’re lost.”

“Shelter [Nadus]. I know. But it must be too far to walk from here?”

“It’s okay. It’s a lot of time. Just give us the direction and we’ll go find it on our own.”

The man spoke in a polite tone and slowly walked towards Jung-min.

Jung-min could see that the other five men standing behind him were staring at Leah with disapproval.

I could see them giggling and whispering something among themselves.

‘Those…’

Jung-min tried to calm his rising anger.ㅣ

He looked at the man approaching him before he knew it.

“Well, it’s easy enough to give you directions. You can walk in this direction. I don’t know how long it will take to walk.”

When Jung-min pointed in one direction, the man looked at him for a moment and smiled.

“Oh hey, thank you so much for this. You’re an Awakened anyway, right? You don’t seem to be a normal person when you see that you’re taking small children into this world…”

“Well… let’s just say it’s not normal.”

“You’re so confident. You’re gorgeous.”

Jeong-min and the man were talking peacefully, but a strange tension flowed between the two.

The man showed the knife in his hand and said to Jung-min.

“However, I wonder if your experience of meeting other people is a bit lacking. I will give you a piece of advice from a position that has experienced all sorts of quagmire.

You should never let them get this close.

I know you look pretty strong and have a lot of confidence, but isn’t all death the same with one knife? “

Jimin nodded and said.

“Thanks for the good advice.”

At Jung-min’s greeting, the man grinned and said.

“It’s good advice. Oh, and the price for advice is this much—”

As they spoke comfortably, the man’s knife was swung toward Jung-min’s neck as naturally as flowing water.

And again, the blade was caught in Jung-min’s hand so naturally.

The contemplative man strained the hand holding the knife, but the blade did not budge.

Jeongmin looked at the man and said softly.

“That’s amazing. Most people don’t even know they’ve been decapitated? It’s a very natural attack.”

Jung-min grabbed the man’s neck with the other hand holding the blade and lifted him up.

“Cuck!”

A man struggling in Jung-min’s hand.

Jung-min said to Leah behind him.

“Miss Leah, would you please close your children’s eyes? If possible, tell them to cover their ears so that they cannot hear the sound.”

“I’m already doing that. You don’t have to worry about this side, Mr. Jeongmin.”

Hearing Leah’s voice, Jung-min tightened his grip on the man’s neck.

Crude

The man’s body, struggling with an unpleasant sound, limp.

The rest of the men, ready to attack, entered Jung-min’s eyes after throwing the man’s body to one side.

Even though one died, the men didn’t feel too embarrassed.

‘He was the weakest of us! What, something like this?’

“You’ve got a cheeky look on your face for only killing one! He was the weakest of us!”

‘Huh, it was real.’

Jeongmin made an absurd expression as he saw the bald man talking in front of him.

The bald man shouted with a triumphant expression, perhaps judging that Jeong-min was frightened.

“Even if I regret it, it’s already too late. The fact that there has never been an Awakener who survived the joint attack of our ‘Hunters’—”

Not paying attention to what the bald man was talking about, four men rushed at Jung-min.

The bald man was taken aback when he saw it, then stopped talking and rushed at Jung-min together.

The sword of the man who attacked Jung-min at the forefront had a blue aura.

Jung-min summoned the sword and swung it with all his might, colliding with the sword with blue aura.

caang

With a loud sound, the man’s sword shattered, and Jung-min’s sword cut right through the man’s body.

When the man in front of him collapsed, the men who ran after him flinched.

However, the whole body has already been thrown to Jung-min.

The men used their own skills and rushed at Jung-min.

A man who tries to block Jung-min’s sword with his arm.

His arms had a shiny texture, as if they were made of steel.

The sword dug right into Jeong-min’s arm that he thought would bounce off it, and soon the man’s arm was cut off smoothly and soared into the air.

The man’s head, which had been screaming at the excruciating pain that surged from his arm, immediately separated and soared into the air along with his arm.

At the same time, a sharp ice spear flew into Jeong-min’s face.

Jung-min lowered his head to avoid the ice spear, and then moved to the side of the man who blew the ice spear using space movement.

The man’s head floated up from Jung-min’s sword, which was swung once again.

When the three men died in an instant, the bald man panicked and flirted and passed out at Jung-min’s fist.

All that was left was the long-haired man with the highest stats.

He was running toward Leah, leaving Jung-min alone.

‘It’s always this pattern.’

Jung-min threw the sword he was holding at the running man.

cuneiform

The sword flew at great speed and pierced the man’s thigh and stuck to the ground.

“Cheer up!”

The long-haired man screamed as he collapsed and rolled violently on the ground.

The long-haired man rolled to Leah’s feet.

Leah stepped on the head of the man lying in front of her feet and smiled refreshingly as she spoke to Jung-min.

“You’ve worked hard, Mr. Jeong-min. Now I can’t let my enemies fall behind me.”

“Because it’s not like it happened once or twice. Enemies must either fight and run away if it seems like it won’t work, or aim for Leah-san.”

Jung-min grabbed the fainting bald man by the leg and dragged him.

Looking at the corpses of men lying around, he said to Leah.

“Let’s go somewhere else for now. It’s not a sight to show the children. Oh, there’s a place where the children used to live, and I think we should go there.”

Leah, who heard Jung-min’s words, nodded and spoke in a friendly voice to the children who were covering their ears with her eyes closed.

“Don’t open your eyes yet and stay still. My sister will carry you, so stay still.”

When the children listened to Leah’s words, they closed their eyes tightly, straining their eyes to form wrinkles.

Leah, who watched as if she was cute, hugged the two children.

To Leah, Jung-min said.

“Please move first. I’ll get them information and follow them.”

“Is it okay? It must be something Jung-Min isn’t used to. Wouldn’t it be better for me to do it?”

Hearing Leah’s words, Jungmin shook his head.

“I can’t leave this to Leah forever. I’ll try.”

Hearing Jungmin’s words, Leah nodded.

“Okay. I’ll go first. Please come slowly.”

When Leah seemed to be moving, the dove ‘Soo’ flew up.

Looking at Sue spinning overhead, Leah said.

“Can you guide me?”

As if ‘Sue’ understood it, it started to fly ahead, and Leah followed ‘Su’.

Soon, Leah and the children disappear from sight, and Jeong-Min and the four corpses disappear. Only the two fainted men were left.

Jeongmin first tried to wake the bald man by punching him in the face.

But the bald man lay limp as if dead, motionless.

When Jeongmin put his finger to his nose, he couldn’t feel his breath.

“Oh, he must be dead. I had no choice but to wake up that long-haired guy and ask him…”

Jeongmin looked at the bald man and spoke softly.

“‘Pretend to be dead’. I never dreamed that such a thing would exist as a skill. Really, there are many different skills… Will it continue to be like that? Did they all get caught?”

Seeing the unmoving bald man, Jung-min sighed and raised his sword.

“I’ll just stay like that and die. I’ll have to dig up information from that long-haired guy.”

The moment Jeong-min was about to swing his sword, the bald man’s eyes flashed open, and he quickly got up and shouted at Jeong-min.

“Oh no! I’m awake!”

The bald man could feel the cold sweat running down his back.

An opponent who knows the ‘play dead’ skill that helped him survive among the goblins!

‘Pretend to be dead’ is not just a skill that pretends to die.

It was a bald man’s special survival technique that stopped all body functions as if he were really dead and made it look like a corpse to anyone who saw it.

When he met an opponent that didn’t work, the man couldn’t come to his senses.

Jung-min looked at the bald man lying on his face in front of him and approached the long-haired man.

A long-haired man passed out with blood dripping from his pierced thigh.

Jeongmin gently stepped on the bleeding thigh.

“Quaaagh!”

The long-haired man stood up screaming and glared at Jung-min, but soon lowered his head and bit his lip.

As Jung-min chinned, the bald man ran over and knelt down next to the long-haired man.

Looking at the two men, Jung-min said.

“The reason I let them live is to get information smoothly. From now on, I will spare only one who answers my words without lies and provides useful information.”

The bald man who heard Jung-min’s words nodded violently.

The long-haired man was staring at the ground, biting his lip.

Looking at the two of them, Jung-min said.

“Tell me about you guys. I heard about it earlier? It seems that they are active under the name ‘Hunters’? What is ‘Hunters’?”

The bald man spoke hastily to Jung-min’s question.

“Huh, Hunters is an organization formed by 6 of us. We are an organization formed by Awakeners from disbanded guilds, and we live by hunting monsters around the gate!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. An organization that lives by hunting the monsters around the gate will only hunt the monsters, so why did you attack us?”

“That, that’s…”

A bald man stuttering in embarrassment.

Jung-min’s hand swung quickly, and the bald man’s severed left hand soared into the air.

“Ku, keuaaagh!!”

The bald man screamed, clutching his severed left arm.

Jeongmin looked at him with cold eyes.

“I’m sure he would have saved me if I told him the truthful information. What if he squeaks nonsense from the first question?”

The bald man held his severed wrist and sobbed.

Jeongmin looked at him with cold eyes and said softly.

“If you lie again, I’ll blow your neck, not your wrist. You’d better answer straight. I’ll ask you again. What is the ‘Hunters’ organization?”

The bald man said urgently with a tear-stained face.

“Huh, the Hunters are an organization that hunts Awoken! When they see a small group of Awoken, they attack them, raise their stats, and earn gold. The ‘Hunters’ are a group of looters!”

“Hmm, so you tried to kill all of us to get stats and gold?”

“Oh, no. You’re the only one who tried to kill me. You can sell children, and women… kuhhm!”

The bald man who had been spitting out words hurriedly evaded his words.

Jung-min was angry, but he kept asking questions without showing it.

“How many organizations like you guys are in this area?”

“I-I can’t tell for sure. Most of them are small groups like us and wander around without settling in one place…”

Jung-min thought for a moment at the bald man’s words, then asked again.

“Let me ask you two more pieces of information. Information about a young woman who has gone missing around here. And information about a large organization being formed by bringing together marauders like you. If you know anything about these two, tell me. “If you tell me properly about this, I’ll spare you.”

The bald man mumbled at Jung-min’s question and did not answer.

It seemed like he didn’t know anything.

At that time, the long-haired man, who had been staring at the ground with his head down, raised his head and spoke to Jung-min.

“Are you really saving your life if you tell me about that information?”
