‘He noticed . ’

The moment that Suzuki Eiji made a cold expression instead of one of anger toward him, told Kim Woo-jin that his plan had been noticed .

As expected by Suzuki Eiji, Kim Woo-jin did not plan to fight him here today .

The reason was quite simple .

‘It’s best to not fight a losing battle . ’

And that was because Suzuki Eiji was currently much stronger than Kim Woo-jin .

The situation was very different from the one with Yang Ji-hoo . The difference in levels between them was quite high .

Currently, Suzuki Eiji was level 55, more than 10 levels higher than Kim Woo-jin .

There was also the difference in skill and experience . It was evident from the way the Messiah Guild treated the two .

If Yang Ji-hoo had had more experience and better skills than Suzuki Eiji, then he would’ve been their Hunting Dog instead .

In the end, Suzuki Eiji was the one chosen .

‘Blood Poison doesn’t work against Lancelot’s Ring . ’

No negative effect worked against the legendary item, also called Lake’s Ring .

‘The King of Poison knew that . ’

It was the biggest reason why the King of Poison targeted the Knights of the Round Table in the past .

Lancelot’s Ring was the achilles heel of the King of Poison .

Of course, this was done intentionally by the Messiah Guild .

They had the antidote in the form of Lancelot’s Ring, so they weren’t afraid to use the weapon known as the King of Poison .

And Kim Woo-jin would never forget that fact .

Not only was Suzuki Eiji stronger than himself, but he also couldn’t use Blood Poison, which was one of his trump cards .

‘If you’ve already noticed, then it’s meaningless to stick around . ’

So Kim Woo-jin didn’t hesitate .

“Retreat!”

As Kim Woo-jin shouted his command, he immediately turned and fled into the forest along with his Skeleton Soldiers .

…

Twelve people .

This was the number of team members than Suzuki Eiji had prepared to attack the dungeon .

The number didn’t have any special meaning . It was simply the hunting dogs who had the required level of experience and alertness that was required for the dungeon .

The composition of the team was also nothing special .

Rather, with an average level of 53, their combined power was more than enough to handle this C+ rank dungeon .

However, three of the twelve were killed immediately after entering .

Shortly after, six more were killed in the battles which followed .

Nine people died in an instant and now only three of them remained .

With this situation, Suzuki Eiji concluded .

“He is a Necromancer . If we give him time we will be the ones at a disadvantage . ”

They were the ones who would be at a disadvantage in the long run .

“We have to chase after him . ”

And so Suzuki Eiji and his men began tracking down Kim Woo-jin .

It was an example of wise judgement on Suzuki Eiji’s part .

The correct answer that few were able to reach .

If he were in the same situation that Suzuki Eiji was in right now, Kim Woo-jin himself would have taken the same action .

There was just one problem .

[You have connected to a Skeleton . ]

Kim Woo-jin could use the Grim Reaper’s Mask to manipulate his tracks .

Moreover, Kim Woo-jin was the hunting dog more experienced in tracking than anyone else . A clever hunting dog who knew how to track targets, also knew what to do to interfere with tracking .

“Damn it!”

Faced with Kim Woo-jin’s hard work, Suzuki Eiji was forced to waste his time over and over again .

And he had to pay for that wasted time as if it was gold .

Kim Woo-jin once again revealed himself . This time, followed by twenty-five Skeleton Soldiers .

It had been 3 days since they’d entered the dungeon .

“Hoo . ”

The appearance of Suzuki Eiji was much calmer than one would expect given his circumstances .

However, his surroundings were anything but calm .

Boom!

Tranquility could not be found as twenty-three Skeleton Soldiers practically burning with fighting spirit .

“Hoo . ”

Nevertheless, Suzuki Eiji couldn’t appear to be even calmer as he took one deep breath after another .

And it wasn’t a bluff .

‘Death is the only thing that no one can escape from . ’

At this moment, he was intended to fight this battle like his last, prepared to die .

It was an ice cold decision .

‘There’s no reason for me to lose against this group of skeletons . ’

Over the course of losing all of his twelve men, Suzuki Eiji realised that the Skeleton Soldiers posed no threat to him .

‘It’s probably because he’s not confident he can defeat me . ’

At the same time he’d realised that the decision to remove all his subordinates in this way was also a choice made in the end only because he couldn’t defeat him on his own .

‘He’s probably thinking the same thing . ’

Finally, Suzuki Eiji knew that Kim Woo-jin’s thoughts would be exactly the same as his .

“Come out . ”

That’s why Suzuki Eiji called out for Kim Woo-jin, and in the end, he appeared .

Suzuki Eiji stared for a long time at the skull mask .

“Isaac Ivanov…no, that should be a pseudonym . Is it Kim Woo-jin?”

Kim Woo-jin didn’t respond to his question . Because he knew .

What Suzuki Eiji was doing right now wasn’t to figure out who he was, but to get inside his head .

‘Such an insane monster . ’

Suzuki Eiji grit his teeth at Kim Woo-jin who didn’t fall for his trick . He admitted that there was nothing he could gain from having a conversation .

Naturally silence fell over the two sides and in the silence, Suzuki Eiji began to simulate the upcoming battle .

‘If I attack him, the Skeleton Soldiers will block me . Then I can get rid of those skeletons . ’

This time, he intended to make use of the technique that Kim Woo-jin had used before .

‘His poison doesn’t work on me anyway, so I can go directly to him after destroying his skeletons . ’

He decided to clean up the area before he aimed at the head .

That was why he purposefully let himself be surrounded . He used himself as bait to get all the skeletons in one place .

‘The Skeleton Soldiers are no threat to me . ’

This was a decision after he had carefully tested the strength of the Skeleton Soldiers, it was not something he decided lightly .

Kim Woo-jin looked toward Suzuki Eiji who had been brimming with confidence, and said .

“The Sun’s Protection . ”

[Protection of the Sun has been activated . ]

Along with those words, the golden color of sunlight began exuding from a necklace on Kim Woo-jin’s neck .

“Aura Field . ”

And with the next spell, the golden light spread out from his body .

Seeing this, Suzuki Eiji couldn’t help but shout .

“Gawain’s Necklace!”

Boom!

The battle began with that shout .

…

“Hoo . ”

Kim Woo-jin, who exhaled for a long time, pulled a japanese style sword from his left thigh .

Puuk!

After the knife was pulled out, his blood flowed like a fountain . The sight of which would make any viewer cringe in pain .

“Inventory . ”

However Kim Woo-jin simply took a potion from his inventory with one hand, while applying pressure on the wound with the other hand, his expression unchanged .

Trickle!

The removed potion was then poured directly onto the wound .

However the bleeding was not so easily stopped, infact, had it been anyone else, the wound would’ve been fatal .

After consuming and using a few more potions, Kim Woo-jin managed to slow the bleeding significantly, however the wound was still open .

But Kim Woo-jin was satisfied with this amount .

‘If it wasn’t for my blood skills, I might’ve died here . ’

He could heal the wound away using some of his skills . Of course, Kim Woo-jin couldn’t actually move his body at the moment so he needed to get something to help him .

Rattle!

Then a skeleton appeared, and around that skeleton was a mountain of bones .

‘He was amazing . ’

Suzuki Eiji was truly strong .

If it wasn’t for the book of the dead and if it wasn’t for Gawain’s Necklace, Kim Woo-jin would have been the one lying dead instead at this moment .

He frowned slightly at that thought .

‘I underestimated him . ’

For Kim Woo-jin, even if it was despicable, he much preferred to have a woundless victory rather than this bloody one .

Nevertheless he’d won and it wasn’t just a victory .

Rather, this was the most valuable victory he’d had so far .

[You have connected to a Skeleton . ]

Using a Skeleton Soldier, he retrieved the most valuable item from his victory . A ring that was taken from the body of Suzuki Eiji who had the appearance of a hedgehog with arrows and swords stuck all over his body .

[Lancelot’s Ring]

Available for level 1 and higher .

Description: Lancelot’s ring is a gift from the Queen of the Lake . It has the power to protect its owner from all unclean things

+100 Magic Power when equipped .

‘The Poison King’s Achilles heel is now in my hands . ’

This item was the most valuable evidence of his victory . But that wasn’t all he’d gained from this victory .

‘The only thing left was to offer Suzuki Eiji as a sacrifice to Oh Se-chan . ’

Giving Suzuki Eiji’s identity to Oh Se-chan .

Of course, Kim Woo-jin did not forget .

[Eye of Anubis has been activated . ]

That his hunt had yet to truly start .
