Evolution Theory of the Hunter Chapter 119

Chapter 119

I turned my line of sight to where the monster was looking . The sight of the level 7 Giant White Tiger and my teammates in a fierce battle could be seen .

Kelby was the one attracting the monster’s attraction from a close range .

Behind him was Cho Young-gu who was blocking the attacks that might come suddenly . The Milworms were also shaking the ground under the Giant White Tiger .

The Agentaya Mongol Horses were standing by to let my teammates escape whenever they had to .

However, the Black Tiger was looking in that direction . I didn’t have a good feeling about this .

I dashed at the monster with all my power . Every time I kicked the ground dirt would cave in .

The Black Tiger shrunk its body . That was a leaping pose . To my teammates direction .

It was obvious that they would be annihilated if the Black Tiger joined while they were fighting against the Giant White Tiger .

I kicked off the ground one last time before jumping at the monster . The Black Tiger leaped simultaneously . The moment I thought I would barely miss it .

At that moment Soo-ah grabbed the Black Tiger’s tail . It seemed to be surprised at her quick return as it turned its head to confirm Soo-ah .

It was a sensitive response considering Soo-ah’s weight . It wouldn’t have had a problem just leaping with her on it .

The thought that its tail might be its weak point flashed through my head .

However, it immediately swung its tail to drop Soo-ah . As expected, losing strength just by grabbing the tail is something that would only happen in a cartoon . (Kyle: Dragon Ball reference for those who don’t know . )

Either way, thanks to Soo-ah it failed to go to where my other team members were .

The distance it leaped was short and was falling to where the level 5 Giant White Tiger had died .

Hm? But why was Manager Kim there?

He was incredibly fl.u.s.tered as he looked at the Black Tiger falling above him .

As if his legs had stiffened he couldn’t run away as he collapsed on the ground . Why did he crawl out of the van? No, more importantly run away for now!

“Run away!”

I ran while shouting at Manager Kim in a loud voice . No matter how quickly I ran it was impossible to escape with him before the Black Tiger landed .

Should I call it the final counterattack…… Manager Kim held up the Needle Gun above his head .

“Ooooaaaahh!”

He continuously fired the gun while screaming . However, it was impossible to do any damage to the level 10 Black Tiger with a level 4 equipment . I could vividly imagine the scene of Manager Kim getting eaten by the Black Tiger .

Hm?

The Black Tiger that was shot at by the Needle Gun scrunched up its body in a weird way and let out a pitiful cry . It seems like it was unexpectedly able to do some damage . However, it wasn’t like that could prevent the Black Tiger’s body itself from falling .

The monster fell right where Manager Kim was . I unintentionally tightly closed my eyes .

d.a.m.n it . Why in the world was he there .

Just then, I could see Manager Kim staggering in the corner of my eyes . It was a location 10 meters away from where he used to be . When did he move all the way there?

I quickly ran to and raised him from the ground, getting away from the Black Tiger .

“What in the world happened?”

“—-!”

I couldn’t hear what he was saying . It was like there was a bunch of water in my ears . Ah . s.h.i.+t . Now that I think of it my eardrums had popped .

I quickly took out and ate a potion and waited for them to heal . Before 10 seconds pa.s.sed I could start hearing things again .

“Please say that again . ”

“Like I said, I only remember shooting this as much as I could . ”

“No, more importantly, how did you get away from there?”

Instead of replying he showed me a ring on his finger . It was a Flash Ring . It was an item that I had forgotten about as I hadn’t used it since buying it . (Kyle: The ‘Flash’ here is the word for Flash in the Korean server’s League of Legends so why not . )

“I did well to buy this . ”

“Did you come here trusting that?”

“No, that’s not it, I just picked up something . ”

He opened the Needle Gun’s magazine and showed it to me . The thing inside was a golden nail .

Skillful Technical Mastercraftsman Nail (5) : As a nail made by using a powerful hammer, able to penetrate hard objects .

“Item? And a level 5 at that…… . ”

“It’s an item that was dropped from the dead white tiger returning to the void . I looked at it and it seemed like it could go into the Needle Gun . ”

“And so you came out of the van while risking your life?”

“Of, of course . I also wanted to be of help to the party . ”

It was moving . To think that Manager Kim was someone with such a spirit of sacrifice .

Of course there was no way that was true .

He probably couldn’t suppress his curiosity after something s.h.i.+ny dropped .

Either way, even if the projectile of the Needle Gun was changed to a level 5 item it shouldn’t be enough to do damage to a level 10 monster right? It wasn’t like with a level 4 Needle Gun and level 5 nail a level 9 item is created .

There was no way the damage would be calculated like that . At most it would be good if it did a level 6 worth of damage?

“I got it so go back for now . It can be dangerous after all . ”

I said so and looked back at the Black Tiger . As if it was in pain it kept its body crunched up . It was the right time if there was one .

I held the Hunter Greatsword and and circled around to its back side .

I was a bit worried that I couldn’t see Soo-ah’s figure but there was a higher chance that she had collapsed due to exhaustion than getting severely injured .

I was a bit worried that I couldn’t see Soo-ah’s figure but there was a higher chance that she had collapsed due to exhaustion than getting severely injured .

For now, killing the Black Tiger was of higher priority .

I quickly climbed up its back .

Did you ever try riding on a tiger with a length of over 10 meters? It can’t be compared to mere rodeo .

It felt like my internal organs were getting displaced and my brain was cras.h.i.+ng into my skull every time it jumped .

Since it didn’t seem like jumping wasn’t working it started cras.h.i.+ng into trees .

It seemed like even I would be fine after getting crashed into a tree with my bare body .

For now, I took out a level 2 leather armor .

As soon as the leather armor embraced my body, my body crashed into a giant Armdri tree .

“Urk!”

I momentarily let go of my hand .

As I extended my hand while fl.u.s.tered I caught something . The feeling of something like a large pouch, soft and warm . I didn’t know what it was but I held on to it .

“Grr?”

I could feel the monster getting fl.u.s.tered . The movement of the monster that was rampaging like a madman was definitely getting slower .

I finally came back to my senses and check what I was holding on to .

It was the pride of all men, the symbol of it, the thing attached below it .

The t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es .

As soon as I realized what it was, I squeezed it tighter .

The monster’s roar shook the land . Arg . I should have just not healed my sense of hearing .

The monster didn’t know what to do and just kept circling in place . If it rampaged more fiercely then the pain would increase but if it stood still there was no way I wouldn’t do something .

In the end, after it failed trying to kick me with its back legs its body flipped over .

It seemed to be extremely desperate as it swung its front paw at me just like that .

A full swing with all its strength!

The Black Tiger was a level 10 . The thing’s front paw attack could demolish a thick concrete building in a single hit .

It had the power more than that of a tank’s cannon shot . It would probably be able to get rid of a small hill if it really tried .

The attack that had that level of power hit its own t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es directly .

This one got through perfectly .

The giant figure of the monster fell with great force .

The giant figure of the monster fell with great force .

The Black Tiger that had hit its own t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es jumped up and fell on the ground head first . The Black Tiger that collapsed was foaming bubbles out of its mouth while unconcious .

No matter how sensitive of a spot it was I didn’t think that I would go down in one hit .

I was wondering why it reacted so surprised, it seems like it hit exactly at that spot .

Either way, it would probably wake up with some half hearted attack so I was wondering what to do when Soo-ah stood at the place between the monster’s thighs, hammer in hand .

And then she struck down the hammer . Urg .

Twitch!

The Black Tiger’s giant body twitched . Could it still feel the pain while unconcious?

Even I who was watching started frowning . It was a scene that I couldn’t see with my own two eyes but Soo-ah wasn’t concerned in any way as she kept striking down with the hammer .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time she struck down with the Hammer, thunder struck down . The Black Tiger’s that place was destroyed to the point of being gruesome .

It was burned black to the point that it wouldn’t become any darker . Although it was black from the beginning .

“This thing isn’t dead though? How do we kill it?”

I went to the head of the monster while looking at Soo-ah who was on the verge of exhaustion .

I held up the Hunter Greatsword and shoved it into its remaining eye .

At that moment, the Black Tiger’s body shot up like a freshly caught fish and roared .

“It, it revived!”

“d.a.m.n . Does it not die even with this?”

It seemed to be impossible to kill it by destroying its brain like this due to its size .

However, crus.h.i.+ng its head itself was impossible due to its tough leather .

It might have some kind of defensive function but it absorbed quite a bit of the impact .

In fact, even its t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es had a fair bit of defense but as it had hit it itself it fell unconscious, otherwise the damage wouldn’t have gotten through .

The Black Tiger moved its body here and there while growling . It seems like it wasn’t right in its mind due to being blind and the great amount of pain it felt .

“Give me that for a bit . ”

“Yes sir . ”

I received Thor’s Hammer from her and ran towards the Black Tiger .

I then smashed down directly on its head with Thor’s Hammer .

The Black Tiger that got hit by the level 5 hammer rolled on the ground while letting out a pained cry .

It was because of the b.l.o.o.d.y Sword that I had stabbed into its eye . The electricity had gone all the way inside its eye using the b.l.o.o.d.y Sword as a medium .

It was because of the b.l.o.o.d.y Sword that I had stabbed into its eye . The electricity had gone all the way inside its eye using the b.l.o.o.d.y Sword as a medium .

No matter how much of a monster it was if lightning struck near its brain then it was impossible to not take damage .

As I got a few direct hits like that, it started rampaging like a madman again .

It crashed into the ground and crashed into boulders and crashed into trees .

The monster really rampaged as if it had rabies . Maybe 10 minutes pa.s.sed like that .

The monster finally collapsed on the ground seemingly having exhausted its strength .

However, it still wasn’t dead . Soo-ah’s face crumpled up as she opened her mouth .

“This is the first time we see a monster this tough . ”

“It’s because we’re weak . It would have ended pretty easily if we had level 9 equipment you know?”

“That’s true . But it doesn’t cost a penny or two . ”

If it was level 9 items they probably costed around 50b won . That amount of money was enough to build a building in Gangnam so it was possible to quit being a hunter and live a life of luxury for the rest of one’s life .

Although I would still continue working .

“But seriously, how do we kill that?”

“With this . ”

I took out a ‘Technician Nail’ that Manager Kim had from the manual . I had kept one just in case .

I put the nail on the monster that was completely exhausted . And then struck down with Thor’s Hammer .

The Black Tiger’s body twitched as sparks flew everywhere . However, it didn’t move at all as if it didn’t even have the strength left to cry .

The unseasonal sound of hammering spread throughout the forest . After hammering a few time the nail really penetrated its head .

Even if it was a level 5, it had good utility . It was correct for me to think that it was enough to penetrate the monster’s leather .

Soon, the nail completely penetrated its skull . I struck down with Thor’s Hammer with all my strength one last time .

Lightning struck down on the Black Tiger’s head in a straight line . The electric energy travelled through the nail and fried the Black Tiger’s brain .

“Grrr!”

“It revived again?”

Soo-ah retreated in surprise . However, I could confirm the distinct number in front of my eyes .

[+1,000]

It was exactly 1,000 without a bonus .

I didn’t know how they could think about making the points given so low .

I turned my line of sight to where the monster was looking . The sight of the level 7 Giant White Tiger and my teammates in a fierce battle could be seen
