Kill The Hero – Chapter 188 – Reason to Hide (4)

There was one thing that you had to keep in mind when fighting Hellhounds .

Never touch the Hellfire .

It didn’t matter if you had a legendary item with very special abilities .

But if you didn’t, hell would begin the moment you touched the Hellfire .

If Hellfire came into contact with your skin, the most common and effective measure was to cut off the part that had touched the Hellfire .

Was more explanation still needed?

Of course, if you were to say these words to a tank, they would all give you the same response .

“Fuck, if it’s as easy as you’re making it sound, why don’t you tank instead?!”

It was virtually impossible .

First of all, there were no rules to a Hellhound’s usage of Hellfire .

There were some signs when the Hellhound was about to use it, but no sign could be used as a clear indicator .

Moreover, the Hellhound itself was an incredibly large monster .

Would it be possible to completely avoid the Hellfire when faced with a monster like that?

However, that was exactly what Lee Jin-ah was doing at that moment .

Roar!

He perfectly evaded the Hellfire that the hellhound spewed with a well timed roll .

Moreover, this was the nineteenth time this had happened .

During his confrontation with the Hellhound, he had avoided nineteen surprise Hellfire attacks as well as body slams, scratches and bites .

It was quite surprising .

‘Is this really happening?’

In fact, Lee Jin-ah was surprising even himself at the moment .

Of course, Lee Jin-ah’s surprise was only half-serious .

Because he knew .

‘This is why he pushes me so hard . ’

That this was only possible because of none other than the intense training he received from Kim Woo-jin .

In that training that seemed to go beyond simple life and death, Lee Jin-ah had learned how to instinctively read monsters’ behaviour .

This was one of the most important skills that a player could possess .

And the result was quite clear .

Awoo!

Awoo!

Awoo!

The Hellhound that could even defeat experts wearing equipment worth billions of dollars, now looked like a hedgehog with numerous swords sticking from its body .

This monster, which would give most players nightmares, was now in a very miserable state .

‘Kuh, I can’t believe I’ve gotten this strong . I’m pretty amazing after all . ’

Lee Jin-ah admired his power .

He felt like he deserved to feel drunk on his power .

Today’s battle would surely hold an important place in his future biography, with an entire page being dedicated to it .

Roar!

But it wasn’t something he could do while the Hellhound was still alive .

‘Ah!’

In the short moment that Lee Jin-ah had lowered his guard, the Hellhound spat out a black fireball with amazing accuracy .

‘Is it possible?’

Lee Jin-ah, who had avoided the Hellhound’s Hellfire nineteen times before, was experiencing this situation for the first time .

Moreover, the Hellfire that the Hellhound had spat out before completely surrounded him like a minefield .

It was impossible to avoid it .

‘Fuck . ’

Of course, even at this moment, Lee Jin-ah was not frozen in shock .

Instead, he quickly realised what he would have to do .

‘I’ll give up an arm . ’

Block it with one arm before cutting off the affected area!

‘I use my right hand to eat, so I’ll give up my left . ’

Lee Jin-ah raised his left hand without hesitation .

It was then .

Clang!

The Hellfire that had been flying toward Lee Jin-ah hit an invisible wall and disappeared .

‘Huh?’

Lee Jin-ah was caught off guard .

Standing in front of him was Kim Woo-jin with the Aegis Shield .

He had arrived .

Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but feel some admiration for Kim Woo-jin who appeared like a savior while wondering if he’d already taken care of his Hellhound .

However, he didn’t ask the question .

Kyaha!

The moment the Hellhound’s fire had been blocked, the two Skeleton Knights that had been waiting, rushed forward and stabbed their swords into the Hellhounds body .

Puk!

Meanwhile, Kim Woo-jin also approached the Hellhound .

The climax of the battle immediately began .

…

Awoo!

With one last cry, the Hellhound fell to the ground .

Its appearance was quite horrifying to look at .

Dozens of Swords had been stuck into its body, and there were parts that appeared sunken as though they were cut away and healed .

Kehuh!

Kehuh!

Nevertheless, the Hellhound forced itself back up again, a black fireball visible in its mouth .

Awoo, awoo!

Awoo!

It seemed that it was burning the last of its energy to give its all in this fight .

‘We don’t need to fight any more . ’

However, Kim Woo-jin had no intention of giving the Hellhound such an honorable ending .

He wasn’t here to shoot a movie or a drama after all .

Rattel!

At Kim Woo-jin’s command, all the Skeleton Soldiers immediately began to retreat .

Kyaha!

The Skeleton Knights also distanced themselves from the dying Hellhound .

He was simply waiting for it to die .

Kung!

Kung!

When it noticed this, the Hellhound cried out in anger, but it changed nothing .

The skeletons all retreated to a distance the Hellhound couldn’t reach, waiting for their prey to die .

Kim Woo-jin also observed the Hellhound from a distance .

[Horus’ Eyes have opened . ]

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes suddenly began emitting golden light .

Then a bunch of information appeared in front of him .

One of the things that stood out, was an item that was in the Hellhound’s stomach .

[Seventh Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox]

– Rating: Legendary

– Required Level: Level 1 or higher

– Description: The seventh tail of the Nine Tailed Fox . It has the ability to create an alter ego .

– Chance to create an alter ego when equipped .

The Seventh Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox .

‘So this is the reason . ’

This tail, which had the chance to create an alter ego, was the reason there were two Hellhounds .

‘This is the first time I’ve seen the seventh tail . ’

In addition, it was the first time that Kim Woo-jin had encountered the item .

‘How fortunate . ’

Of course, it was a wonderful gift that he had no intention to refuse .

“Is it over now?”

Then Lee Jin-ah approached him while asking a question .

His voice was hoarse, showing just how exhausted he was .

This also showed that the tension and pressure that he had felt for the first time had finally eased .

It was worth it .

“Ugh, when I saw that there were two of them, I instantly got dizzy . ”

No one in the world would have dared to imagine that there would be two Hellhounds in the dungeon .

From Lee Jin-ah’s perspective, learning that information was like being told to make preparations for his death .

“Don’t relax . ”

Kim Woo-jin looked at Lee Jin-ah before saying .

“The most important part has yet to come . ”

“Huh?”

Kim Woo-jin began to explain to the confused Lee Jin-ah .

“Things have changed in many ways . That’s why we have to modify our plan for when we leave the dungeon . ”

Before entering the dungeon, Kim Woo-jin didn’t know about the Aegis Shield, two Hellhounds and the Seventh Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox .

This meant that they would have to revise the plan they’d made in advance since the situation had changed .

“Firstly, we’ll hide the Aegis Shield . ”

The most important thing for them was the deal with the Aegis Shield .

“Hide it?”

“If we ask the Sword Saint for the Aegis Shield that we already collected and hid, he will surely feel miserable . ”

“Ha! Yeah, we have to torment that bastard . ”

Lee Jin-ah nodded .

“And we’ll need to add a few injuries . ”

“Injuries?”

“The Sword Saint would doubt it if the two of us cleared a dungeon his elite team couldn’t even with the Aegis Shield, without any injuries . ”

When he heard that, Lee Jin-ah nodded again .

“I’ll have to cut off at least an arm . ”

“Huh?”

However, Lee Jin-ah shouted in fright when he heard the next words Kim Woo-jin said .

“Why an arm?”

“It will have more of an impact . It’s fine, I can always reattach it after we leave, can’t I?”

“R-, right, but cutting off an arm…”

“Lee Jin-ah, in your case, you will need to have injuries all over your body . ”

“No, wait! Why should I do that? Huh? Why am I the one who has to suffer the most?”

Kim Woo-jin gave a simple reply to the unconvinced Lee Jin-ah .

“I almost died twice already, now it’s your turn . ”

Lee Jin-ah only had one thought at that moment .

“You really are the Spawn of Satan . ”

It was then .

[You have slain the Hellhound . ]

[Your level has increased . ]

[The Emissary of the Underworld admires your capabilities . ]

[The Emissary of the Underworld has bestowed some power onto you . ]

[The rank of the Skeleton Knight skill has increased by one . ]

[The rank of the Bone Sword skill has increased by one . ]

The notifications announcing the end of the dungeon attack sounded out .

However, Kim Woo-jin didn’t pay much attention to it .

‘Now that I’ve truly gone against the Sword Saint, there will no longer be any clumsy jokes . ’

This was just the beginning .

‘Now, the real war starts . ’
