Chapter 343 – The Story of a Faded Legend (3)
Kim Shinwoo had indeed asked Ryu Kang-hyuk for a favor.
To watch over the people in the house starting from April 1st.
“F*ck, seriously.”
He promised the price of carefully selected adult videos through his talent.
Of course, he had to fulfill that duty.
“Those dog bastards are coming too slowly.”
No matter what, it had only been a short while since April 1st.
Seeing the hunters swarm in front of Kim Shinwoo’s house, irritation started to creep in.
Moreover, there was barely a suitable opponent among them.
First of all, their armament was somewhat extraordinary.
They were all completely masked, dressed like special forces soldiers.
Wearing a Defensive Coat could be somewhat understood.
After all, in a society rampant with hunters, they could source such things somehow.
But weapons disguised like toys, real swords or guns?
That crossed the line too much.
“At least they don’t look like bastards who work with their faces exposed.”
And they had come targeting the civilians in Kim Shinwoo’s house.
Whether they were only after Kim Shinwoo’s parents or also targeting reptiles was something even Ryu Kang-hyuk couldn’t tell.
One thing was clear: too many people had gathered.
From the scale, it looked like the entire roster of a small guild.
With that many people, it would be more appropriate to hunt dangerous monsters instead.
“Hunter bastards act like they own the place just because they have some strength, seriously.”
The last statement was just a guess based on experience.
Judging by their behavior and what they said, they were at least gold rank and above.
And there was an unsettling sense that some of them appeared to be platinum rank.
The more he thought about it, the more absurd it felt.
“Those dog bastards aren’t hunting monsters; they’ve come to capture civilians.”
Moreover, just moments ago, a hunter had conjured a gray Reverse Field.
Pulling everyone, including Ryu Kang-hyuk, into that field.
From here, Ryu Kang-hyuk could infer two things.
First, someone who was extremely wary of revealing their identity was using their ability without hesitation.
“The people around didn’t even look like they were trying to stop them.”
In other words, it meant that abilities could be used freely right now.
It’s impossible to get permission for ability usage in a specific area on the same day, so it also indicated that they had prepared for this long ago.
The other point was including Ryu Kang-hyuk in the Reverse Field.
If they were strengthening the individuals inside, there was no reason to include Ryu Kang-hyuk.
They could just include their leader at most.
In cases of weakening, it would be more suitable to either go solo or not use abilities at all.
So, what was highly likely here?
Probably a soundproof zone within the Reverse Field.
“They really came prepared, f*ck.”
Sometimes, there are subtle abilities that can make people aroused within a Reverse Field.
But since the lower half remained quiet, he judged that wasn’t the case.
Anyway, he combined the information roughly.
Hunters consisting of gold and platinum ranks.
There were about the same number as a small guild.
Given their armed state, they were mostly bastards engaged in dirty work.
Ryu Kang-hyuk couldn’t help but smile inadvertently.
Not a happy smile for thinking about beating the hunters, but a sneer born out of sheer incredulity.
“Kim Shinwoo, what the f*ck did you stir up?”
Did he mess with someone socially influential like a large guild leader?
Or did he poke at a suspiciously rich parent?
Or maybe both?
Coincidentally, because Kim Shinwoo’s mother had asked to come pick up kimchi.
He hurried over, bringing the kimchi, which was a bit fortunate.
His wife had even temporarily left the house, so the chance of her being taken hostage was not an issue.
Above all, he felt most relieved that those hunters didn’t recognize Ryu Kang-hyuk himself.
“Turns out that asking someone high up for a ‘favor’ when retiring was effective.”
That favor was filled with curses, blood, bones, and flesh.
It was a somewhat rough and physical request.
But thanks to that, he had secured a hidden identity.
Just in case, he sweet-talked them that he would visit first if his identity was exposed outside.
Since then, thankfully, no one has recognized him.
“It’s Kim Shinwoo, that bastard, who’s been running his mouth, f*ck.”
He thought it wouldn’t cause much trouble and shared his real name.
But that dog bastard had been using Ryu Kang-hyuk’s name for bizarre acts.
Because of that, he faced old grudges again, which was a real pain.
To be honest, if you think about it, most of them are due to his own karma.
But the dimwit Ryu Kang-hyuk didn’t have an ounce of conscience left to consider that.
They say conscience is a matter of intelligence.
“Anyway, you bastards, get lost already. At this rate, the kimchi will spoil.”
“What the f*ck, the kimchi’s already spoiling!!!”
First, he tried to unleash the Summoning Spell, but they didn’t back off.
In their eyes, they might be just trying to deal with things quickly.
But this also meant that if they didn’t do it today, another chance wouldn’t come easy.
So, they must have mobilized all possible personnel, meaning there wouldn’t be any repercussions later.
Conveniently, everything prepared for such situations was packed in boxes, ready to go.
Now there was only one thing left.
He had to take out all those bastards right here and now.
They certainly wouldn’t back down.
Ryu Kang-hyuk began talking to the leader of the hunters.
To solidify their will just a bit more.
“I clearly warned you, didn’t I?”
“Are you seriously going to come at us? No matter how far you crawl and fly-!”
But the leader’s words couldn’t finish, interrupted by what came up next.
Those things weren’t anything else but…
“-a penis…”
It was a dildo.
One that Ryu Kang-hyuk had custom-made earlier.
So all of them shared the same shape, but none had the same color.
The only commonality besides that was the two lines drawn on the dildos and their sturdy appearance.
The number of dildos brought up was countless, proportional to the heavy weight of the box.
Soon enough, dildos of various colors began to stain the gray space of the Reverse Field in their respective colors.
In that moment, it seemed as if they were trying to erase the concept of gray.
The gray field, which was their territory, was swiftly dominated by Ryu Kang-hyuk.
The dazed leader slowly started to speak.
“Wha… what are these…?”
“My custom-made stuff.”
At Ryu Kang-hyuk’s reply, a gaze mixed with fear appeared in the leader’s eyes.
“Y-you don’t mean all of these are behind you?!”
“No, you dog bastard!!!”
In a moment of pique, Ryu Kang-hyuk shot multiple dildos.
In response to that, a female hunter quickly stepped in front of the leader.
Holding a barrier with her ability.
– Tiddidididid!
“What? This is nothing special.”
When the dildo hit the barrier and fell to the ground, the woman who blocked it smirked mockingly.
“Just a lot of numbers, no real substance.”
“……No, there’s substance. You bitch.”
Then he only turned his head to speak to the leader.
“This much should be manageable with a Defensive Coat.”
“Is that so? I mean, what do you expect to do with such toys?”
Her attitude was belittling, but rightfully so.
There was already an overwhelming difference in armament.
They were not only fully armed but had also donned Defensive Coats.
Meanwhile, Ryu Kang-hyuk wore tracksuit clothing, armed only with numerous dildos.
Even if the numbers were overwhelming, they wouldn’t be able to deliver meaningful damage.
At that moment, while the hunters thought that way, Ryu Kang-hyuk started speaking in a tone full of disdain.
“You shouldn’t rely too much on such little bits of fabric and equipment, you sh*tty bastards.”
Hearing that, the hunters responded only with laughter or mockery.
As if it were the rubbish wild talk of a pathetic loser about to be defeated.
But Ryu Kang-hyuk just kept speaking.
“That means you guys are only that weak.”
– Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
He kept tapping the tip of one dildo with his finger.
Hearing that, the woman who previously blocked with the barrier responded with disdain, still maintaining her barrier.
“Why is this nobody who can’t even break this little thing talking so much?”
“At least without such equipment.”
But Ryu Kang-hyuk chose not to respond, just continuing his own monologue.
“You bastards should at least be able to rip off my d*ck to be called hunters.”
– Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
While still tapping the end of the dildo with his finger.
Soon, Ryu Kang-hyuk’s face twisted into a horrifically ominous smile.
With a voice laced with feelings, as if recalling an uncomfortable memory.
“Just like that fcking dog-sht bastard.”
– Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
And the moment the last tap with his finger ended.
“And I’m not a nobody, you f*cking bitch.”
– Tap.
– KWA-BOOM!!!
Suddenly, the barrier maintained by the woman shattered into pieces.
Needless to say, the Defensive Coat she was wearing was wrecked too.
Moreover, the woman didn’t even have time to scream, disappearing from sight in an instant.
In the unexpected situation, everyone lost their words, staring at Ryu Kang-hyuk.
But Ryu Kang-hyuk only pointed his finger at the spot where the woman vanished, muttering calmly.
“I just… broke her hymen…”
