Kill the Hero Chapter 14

TL: Uncle Choi

[Orc Hunter]

Number of Dungeon Floors: 1 Dungeon Difficulty: C-Rank Maximum Capacity: 3 People Entry Requirement: Must be below Lv 13 Clear Condition: Kill the orc hunter hiding among the pack of orcs .

Kim Woo-jin, who entered the dungeon, checked through the contents of the dungeon once more using the quest window .

Then Kim Woo-jin looked up and saw a narrow wooded area in front of him .

There was only one thought that came to Kim Woo-jin’s mind when he saw the terrain .

‘Using a whip will be difficult here . ’

He thought that it would be hard to use a whip in this dungeon but such thoughts did not last long .

‘It’s useless against orcs anyway . ’

First of all, Kim Woo-jin did not bring his whip to the dungeon .

This wasn’t odd at all .

The whip was a powerful weapon . However, it will inevitably lose most of its power against an opponent with armor or a formidable defense, and it will decrease in efficacy even more against a monster who is resistant to pain .

Meaning, for orcs with massive muscular bodies, thick leather, and a strong resistance against pain, the goblin champion’s whip was not very useful .

Furthermore, the fear effect of the whip only worked on goblins .

There was no reason to insist on using the whip under such circumstances .

“Item window”

So, what Kim Woo-jin prepared was a sword that he took out of the item window .

[Lizard Warrior’s Sword]

Item Grade: Rare Physical Attack: 35 Must be Lv10 or above to use Item Description: Sword used by warriors . The blade is sharp and is suitable for close range battle .

Kim Woo-jin immediately put his hand into the holographic window and pulled the knife out of the box .

Like how a magician pulls a stick out of his hat, a scimitar appeared .

The shape of the blade that appeared was not special at all .

However, the price of the sword was extremely expensive, costing more than 70 million won . The reason as to why the sword cost so much was that it is a rare grade sword .

Most players thought that swords were the best weapons humans ever invented, so they were traded at more than twice the price of other weapons of the same grade .

Of course, Kim Woo-jin did not truly think that a sword was useless .

‘It’s been a long time since I held a sword . ’

On the contrary, Kim Woo-jin was used to the sword more than anybody, and at the same time, was unparalleled in its use .

He just didn’t intend to ignore the shortcomings of swords .

Keuu!

While Kim Woo-jin was thinking about the shortcomings of swords, an orc appeared in front of him .

Kim Woo-jin always explained to his teammates .

“The crux of a battle is about adapting to the situation, not matching the enemy .

Therefore, Kim Woo-jin always made sure to be in the advantageous position when hunting his enemies .

Actually, Kim Woo-jin’s favorite moments were when just the two of them, he and his enemy, met each other in a remote place .

The enemy that the orc was approaching all by himself was that kind of an enemy .

A hunting dog who was stronger and more thorough than anyone else in a one-to-one situation .

Of course the battle was one-sided .

Puhwat!

In a little more than 30 seconds, Kim Woo-jin’s sword cut the orc’s body ten times .

The surprising thing, however, was that there were only three places where the orc had a visible wound .

The left side, left thigh, and the left side of his neck .

The wounds were so deep that it almost made the thick skin and the massive body of the orc look shameful .

However, they did not appear to be fatal wounds that threatened his life .

Keueuu!

Thus, the orc attacked Kim Woo-jin without backing down, then Kim Woo-jin attacked him for the eleventh time while avoiding to the left of the orc .

Puhwat!

The sword went through a wound that Kim Woo-jin already made before, once again, deepening the wound .

That was why there were only three wounds .

Keueuu!

The orc’s left leg began to shake uncontrollably .

Kim Woo-jin’s sword began to go through the orc’s thick and large muscles in the left thigh starting from his fourth attack .

‘It’s cut . ’

Of course, that was Kim Woo-jin’s plan .

The scary thing about orcs was their terrifying mobility that stemmed from their thick muscles .

It was even possible to die instantly if you were to get run over by them .

Nevertheless, it takes a really long time to kill an orc with just a single sword .

For this kind of opponent, eliminating their mobility was the most practical way to kick things off .

Since if you take out it’s mobility, you will have plenty of options afterwards .

Even throwing a stone was effective now .

It was even better to use objects like spears to skewer them from a distance .

It was even more effective to use spearlike objects to hinder its movements further .

Hwig!

Throwing daggers to seal its vision was a great idea, too .

[The Orc is Poisoned by Blood Poisoning]

Daggers smeared with poison would be even more effective .

Keueuu!

Faced with such a situation, the orc screeched in a slightly different tone than before .

It was a cry of fear because his life was in danger .

Swiig!

Kim Woo-jin’s scimitar slashed and created a line through orc’s neck, who was distracted while screaming frantically in fear of losing his life .

Puhwat!

Blood flowed from the wound this time as well .

At this point, the orc was no longer able to fight .

His eyes were blind, his sense of smell was overwhelmed by the strong stench of blood, and and he couldn’t even properly hear his own screams .

The leg won’t move and he will bleed to death after losing enough blood .

Moreover, Kim Woo-jin’s blood poisoning made the orc feel dizzy and faint .

Thud!

The orc finally collapsed .

That was the end of the battle .

[Achievement ‘The One Who Killed An Orc Alone’ Has Been Achieved]

[The The One Who Killed An Orc Alone]

Achievement Grade: Normal Achievement Effect: Constitution +1

A notification popped out signaling the orc’s death .

Pleasing news .

But the most pleasing news for Kim Woo-jin was not the news of his achievement .

‘A sacrifice arrived . ’

Kim Woo-jin was more pleased to be able to summon another monster that fights just like him under his command now .

“Summon Skeleton Soldier . ”

With the chant, the flesh of the dead orc melted away . Soon, nothing but the skeleton was left .

The darkness that entered its skull began to form white fiery eyes .

Hwig!

Kim Woo-jin gave it a present .

‘Go crazy till you are satisfied . ’

Unexpectedly, Kim Woo-jin handed his own sword to his orc skeleton .

As a result, the skeleton soldier deliberately stared at Kim Woo-jin .

It was expressing its gratitude for such an unexpected gift .

“Inventory . ”

In front of the surprised skeleton soldier, Kim Woo-jin took out a new weapon .

The weapon he brought out, however, was not a sword but a bow .

[Kobold Archer’s Bow]

Item Grade: Unique Physical Attack: 29 Must be Lv10 or above to use Item Description: It’s a bow of an kobold archer . Injecting energy can release arrows far stronger than the user’s power . When equipped energy +5 When equipped constitution +5 When equipped penetration increases by 10% When attacking inflicts burning pain to enemy .

Orcs are very troublesome monsters .

Goblins may appear in great numbers, but a properly armed player won’t be killed instantly by a group of goblins . However, orcs were different . There have been many cases of players being hit by an orc and killed instantly due to having their necks snapped .

Of course, an orc was nothing special in the real world .

With a gun, even ordinary people could kill an orc, and even if they didn’t have a gun, they could still kill the orc without serious danger if they had a long range weapon that could penetrate their thick skin .

For instance, weapons such as bows .

A bow powerful enough to pierce an orc’s skin was a nightmare for orcs .

Against Kim Woo-jin, this was the situation that the orcs were facing at this very moment .

Keuaa!

The body of the orc, who was frantically screaming, was deeply pierced by arrows .

All the arrows penetrated through the parts where the orc had the least muscle all the way to its guts .

Of course, the weakest parts of its body, his two eyes, already had arrows sticking out like flowers .

It was a horrible sight .

Tteolgeuleog!Tteolgeuleog!

What made the scene even more miserable were the two orc skeletons, Kim Woo-jin’s skeleton soldiers .

The two skeleton soldiers kept alternating, with one after the other repeatedly, and leaving wounds on the orc’s body with their scimitars .

Tteolgeuleog!Tteolgeuleog!

Swiig!

It was almost as if Kim Woo-jin was fighting in person .

Meanwhile, Kim Woo-jin was nowhere to be seen .

‘They are doing well . ’

With the trunk of the tree behind his back and carefully hiding his breath, Kim Woo-jin silently pulled his bow, completely hiding his identity and location .

Such a scene was really too much to bear .

Seeing Kim Woo-jin do such a thing, despite being able to hunt an orc all by himself, was really unpleasant to look at, it made him look like the villain .

[You Have Gained Experience] [The Emissary of the Underworld Begins to Observe You More Closely]

‘The pace is good . ’

Of course, Kim Woo-jin did not mind being watched .

He wasn’t playing a game and it certainly wasn’t being broadcasted .

Moreover, Kim Woo-jin’s targets were the people that the world deemed as heros .

Whether the process was cool or not, it did not matter to him .

He was willing to do whatever it took to improve his chances of success .

‘Finally found the body . ’

Even if that meant he had to dig a grave .

It was a trace of food .

Like eating a passing pigeon alive and leaving its bone and feathers, the orc took off the player’s items and ate the flesh inside, leaving only the bone .

It was a horrible sight .

However, Kim Woo-jin reacted indifferently at the gruesome scene and even extended his hand toward it . He picked up the broken skull .

Then he made eye contact with the empty sockets of the skull .

At that moment, Kim Woo-jin’s eyes turned completely black .

[Anubis’ eyes are opening]

A notification was heard .

At the same time, the memories belonging to the skull’s owner entered into Kim Woo-jin’s head .

It was like looking at a folder full of pictures and videos .

Fortunately, the order was in chronological order .

Kim Woo-jin started with finding the name of the skull’s owner .

‘My luck is good . ’

The owner of the skull was the one he was looking for, Jeon Yong-kyu .

As expected, he was killed by orcs .

He was eaten alive after he was knocked unconscious by a punch from an orc .

It wasn’t a special sign or evidence .

Kim Woo-jin rewinded his memory back a bit .

Like that, some stuff Jeon Yong-kyu blurted out quickly passed by Kim Woo-jin’s ears .

If I knew I’d be a player, then I would have assaulted her . The good thing about being a player is never getting a speeding ticket . I will shoot 300km/h at the Olympic Road soon . Crime? You really don’t know anything . Among players, there are even crazy bastards that are hunting humans . What? Stop bullshitting? I’m telling you the fucking truth!

They were horrible remarks .

However, Kim Woo-jin did not become angry .

The stimulus was dry for him who had experienced a far more miserable reality than just despicable words .

Instead, Kim Woo-jin focused on the words “hunting humans . ”

‘I wonder who he heard ‘human hunting’ from?’

Human hunting, it was literally hunting humans .

It was not only happening in Korea but also in many parts of the world .

There was nothing that could be done to prevent it in rural or remote islands where the governments are not able to control them .

Moreover, they use monsters to do it . It wasn’t hard to clean up after either .

Of course, it was not something one could be openly proud of .

Thus, in South Korea, human hunting was done in a very discreet way, and it was only after some time that the identity of the perpetrators was revealed .

‘It was quite later before Park Yong-wan’s hunting of humans was publicly known…’

It was revealed when Park Yong-wan was about to sell his country to Japan .

He used human hunting to capture the powerful figures and at the same time, held their weak points against them .

Countless ordinary people were sacrificed to produce items for Park Yong-wan’s business .

In other words, he managed his human hunting business quite well .

‘How does this insignificant bastard know about this already?’

There was no way such a trivial character like him could have known about human hunting .

In other words, Jeong Yong-kyu had direct contact or a connection with Park Yong-wan .

Kim Woo-jin once again moved his memory to further in the past .

Then he found it .

Yong-kyu, listen well . The person behind me is that person, Park Yong-wan . Pla, player Park Yong-wan? You mean the big shot among big shots in the Phoenix Guild? Yeah, in reality, he is like the owner of the Phoenix Guild . Anyway, I am helping him with one of his jobs . By this point, you understand what I mean right? Yes! I will only trust in Je-soon hyung-nim . Good, just trust me and follow my lead .

‘Park Je-soon . ’

His next prey .
