Kill The Hero – Chapter 81

Before returning to the past, Kim Woo-jin had joined the Messiah Guild at level 55 .

He had begun to gain fame through successive dungeon clears and had caught the eye of the Messiah Guild during the Horned Fox Hunt .

When he had reached level 55 the Messiah Guild once again made him an offer .

“‘Hunting Dog’ Kim Woo-jin, we need your help . ”

Lee Se-jun, the leader of the Messiah Guild and savior of the world had personally made the offer to him and Kim Woo-jin had no reason to refuse .

After that, Kim Woo-jin became a hunting dog for the Messiah Guild .

Monsters upon monsters, players upon players, items upon items…whatever the Messiah Guild requested, he hunted .

Eventually, Kim Woo-jin became the Messiah Guild’s best hunting dog .

Of course, the name ‘Hunting Dog’ wasn’t created for Kim Woo-jin, he wasn’t the first and he wouldn’t be the last .

In fact there were more than one player with the title of ‘Hunting Dog’ in every guild . Hundreds to thousands of players worldwide were known as hunting dogs .

And there were people who were called hunting dogs within the Messiah Guild even before Kim Woo-jin joined it .

Suzuki Eiji!

He was the best hunting dog within the Messiah Guild .

Of course, it was only after a while that this information became known .

It was around the time he reached level 100 and attacked a 4 Floor Dungeon .

Simply put, when you reached level 100, you could retire from being a hound and move to being a regular player in the light .

That was the way of the hunting dogs .

If the hunting dog hunted openly, would people simply stare at them and let them do it? It was impossible .

Therefore most hunting dogs remained unidentified and usually retired the moment it became hard for them to hunt or they reached the expected level .

Naturally, the place they left after retiring was naturally filled by other hunting dogs eager for the position .

‘Looking back at it, he offered me a hand because he needed a pinch hitter1 . ’

Kim Woo-jin became the pinch hitter for Suzuki Eiji . This wasn’t just a vague guess .

When Suzuki Eiji was level 80, Kim Woo-jin had been level 55, the perfect level for a baton touch2 .

From the Messiah Guild’s perspective, it would have been difficult to find someone to substitute Suzuki Eiji . So ‘The Savior’ Lee Se-jun personally brought a new hunting dog .

Of course, at that time the Messiah Guild had miscalculated .

‘After that, I quickly caught up . ’

Kim Woo-jin had quickly caught up to Suzuki Eiji .

When Kim Woo-jin was first recruited, as he took over for Suzuki Eiji and his team, he constantly heard the legendary stories of what Suzuki Eiji had done .

So naturally, he knew him well .

‘His abilities were so amazing . ’

Oh how great he was .

‘His team was on a different level . ’

Additionally, he’d made use of teamwork rather than simply fighting on his own .

Kim Woo-jin knew better than anyone that hunting dogs were actually much stronger when they fought in groups rather than when they hunted alone .

‘If I let him grow more than this . He’d become a monster . ’

So, if Kim Woo-jin let him be, he would become even more of a monster than he was now .

Because in fact, in the eyes of others, he was already a monster .

Even back then, even after being overtaken by Kim Woo-jin, Suzuki Eiji had still managed to make him a key player within the Messiah Guild .

‘Because the Messiah guild knows that he has Lancelot’s Ring . ’

This was because it was in fact the Messiah Guild who had given him Lancelot’s Ring in his possession .

‘Lee Se-jun’s old item . ’

Because it was Lee Se-jun who’d once owned Lancelot’s Ring .

So no matter how you looked at it, Kim Woo-jin definitely had to get rid of Suzuki Eiji before he could face the Messiah Guild .

However, up to a few days ago, Kim Woo-jin did not have any intentions of hunting down Suzuki Eiji .

‘I never thought we’d meet so soon . ’

No . Rather, Kim Woo-jin had been thinking and preparing ways for him to avoid this monster when the Messiah Guild decided to make Suzuki Eiji hunt him .

The reason was simple .

‘I thought it would be after level 100 . ’

He wasn’t completely confident that he could win .

It was impossible for him to deal with Suzuki Eiji and his team with the abilities he currently had at his disposal .

Of course, that was a few days ago .

The fact that Kim Woo-jin was there meant that it was no longer an impossibility .

From then on, there was only one thing that Kim Woo-jin was considering .

‘The sprout should be cut when it can be cut . ’

And that was how to hunt his new prey .

…

On a road that was too messy to truly be considered a road .

Toltoltol!

An old bus, so worn that it was truly surprising that it could still move, shambled it’s way along the road while emitting weird noises .

“Almost there . ”

Kim Woo-jin was on that bus .

He had oily hair that suited his shirt and pants which were giving of a rather stinky smell, his dark eyes were surrounded by dark circles and his face was so pale that it looked like he was wearing powder . His frame gave off a very desolate aura as he sat in a corner of the slowly moving bus .

It was not the appearance of a player .

In fact, Kim Woo-jin didn’t come here as a player .

“Hey, you there . ”

“Yes?”

“Is this your first time being a warehouse?”

A warehouse, that was Kim Woo-jin’s role today .

And it was the role of the other people on the bus .

Their role was something that could only be seen in places like the Kaesong Special District . In a nutshell they were there for inventory .

Due to the fact that players could only bring items to and from the dungeons with their inventory, more players were needed to bring more items . So players who intended to attack dungeons would hire other players and use them as substitute warehouses .

To put it simply, he was selling his body . He was being paid to lend his life .

Of course, ordinary players wouldn’t be able to understand . Because ordinary players were the players who were able to enjoy wealth and fame and couldn’t be compared to regular people .

“Is this your first time as a warehouse?”

“Ah, it’s not . ”

“Oh, it’s my first time seeing you . So what did you do to come here? What are you wanted for? Murder, rape, assault, maybe fraud?”

It was a role that only could be found in places like the Kaesong Special District where people who could no longer live among regular players gather .

In other words, everyone there was of that sort .

“I think you’re too nervous . Want me to introduce you to the other bastards so you could relax? Hey, see that bald guy? He raped and killed 5 people . And you see the pig next to him right? He did it four times . ”

Those who would rather live an ugly life than pay for their horrendous crimes .

“Oh, it’s seven times if you include murder . And that guy next to him…when I saw him for the first time, he looked like he’d been drugged and raped . But that’s just my guess . ”

If it was the Kim Woo-jin of the past, he would’ve immediately killed all of them without a second thought or care .

However in front of them now, Kim Woo-jin didn’t reveal his intentions .

The first reason was that they weren’t his prey .

‘This is the actor that Suzuki Eiji hid here . ’

The second was that this snake-like man was in fact an actor planted by Suzuki Eiji to monitor the warehouses in case there were any problems .

It wasn’t anything strange .

Unless Suzuki Eiji was a fool, he’d of course check if there were any traps or issues with any of the warehouses he used .

Furthermore, if it was the player’s first time as a warehouse then there was all the more reason to be wary against them .

“So what happened to you?”

Therefore, Kim Woo-jin acted in front of the actor .

“I was betrayed by someone I believed in…”

The moment he saw Kim Woo-jin’s expression, Jo Han-ho, who was the one speaking to him, nodded .

“So it’s a fugitive story then . ”

It was thanks to his genuine expression that no further explanation was needed .

Just like that, Jo Han-ho nodded at Kim Woo-jin, fully believing him .

“Make your friend pay the price for betraying you, and force them to live a hard life in the future . Tell me if you ever need help . ”

He raised his thumb in front of Kim Woo-jin who didn’t respond .

‘Yes, he has to pay for betraying the world . ’

The reason Kim Woo-jin was there was in fact because his answer was more fitting than most would believe .

Creak!

They arrived at their destination .

“Get off!”
