Arena Chapter 161

Chapter 161 – Free for All Fight (Part 2)

Tuaaang!!

Together with a loud noise, the Nielson R8 fired .

When the HE bullet it hit the aura protective s.h.i.+eld, it created an enormous explosion .

Kwaaang!

From the impact, the aura protective s.h.i.+eld tore wide open . The effects of the explosion went through that opening and enveloped the sword-wielding man .

“Kuaaack!”

He was screaming as his body was thrown back .

Without hesitation I finished him off with the double guns .

Ta ta ta ta tang!

“Kuack! Kuk!”

The bullets consecutively hit their target .

The man’s sword fell as he was sprawled on the floor .

The man with the spear shouted something as he raced towards me .

After putting all the aura into the spear, he threw it .

But,

Tuaaaaaang-!!

My monster rifle Neilson R8 fired again .

The spear-wielding man blocked it with his square s.h.i.+eld but due to the impressive detonation of the HE, he was flung backwards along with his s.h.i.+eld .

Thanks to Kasa having increased the explosiveness, his defense position was broken and I followed a serenade of bullets .

Ta ta ta ta t ang!

“Kuack! Kuk!”

He screamed as he fell .

Since I was able to get rid of them in just an instant, the others looked fl.u.s.tered .

They gave up on entering the house and instead decided to attack me together .

They spread out wide and after surrounding me, they began to attack together .

Red lines appeared from all over as foresight was activated .

I immediately flew up into the air and then fired my double guns in all directions .

Among the a.s.sailants, the one that seemed to be the magician made a large fireball and threw it at me .

Ta ta ta tang – kwa lu lu lung!

I shot at it with both guns and it didn’t make it far before it exploded .

As the red flames were spreading all over the place, I had Kasa put them out . At the same time, I attacked the magician with the Nielson R8 .

Taaaang!!

“Kuk!”

A low grunting noise .

He had seen the muzzle aimed at him and must have dodged it . But it seemed like it still hit his left shoulder because he was dripping blood .

‘He might be worthy of a fight after all?’

I was fighting a group alone and it was just too easy .

It was actually more of a fight against just Heising .

‘Having so many skills comes in handy like this . ’

The arrow attacks from the arrow man were moot because of my foresight skill .

And with the powerful gun shot, I got rid of the man that specialized in defense as well .

I had no idea how handy all the skills I’ve worked on so far would come in a big fight like this .

“Divine Protection of the Wind! Divine Protection of Fire!”

I used the two skills consecutively and increased my offense even more .

I expanded my whirlwind by adding flames to it . A large pillar of flames filled the terrace .

Hwa lu lu lu luk!

“Kuk!”

“Uk!”

The surprised men jump onto the rooftop to escape .

With them taking a step back I thought the fight might have a momentary lull .

But just then, there was an unexpected turn of events .

Kwajik! Shoo kaak!

“Kuaak!”

“Ukk!”

From the men who escaped onto the rooftop, screams rang out . They were met with someone’s sudden attack .

‘Has help from the Korean Arena Research Agency already arrived?’

That thought momentarily crossed my mind . But I looked through Sylph and that wasn’t the case .

It was none other than Marie and Cha Ji-hye .

Those two women didn’t just stay in the house . They went through the window on the opposite side to the rooftop for an ambush .

Such outstanding strategy! I’m sure it came from Cha Ji-hye’s brilliant mind .

Cha Ji-hye was dealing with one man . And Marie, the a.s.sa.s.sin, was utilizing her ambus.h.i.+ng skills well and succeeded in slitting another’s throat .

It was a satisfying sight to see Marie’s scary side since she’s always bubbly and smiling like an idiot .

I thought her figure disappeared into the darkness but then she suddenly appeared right in the opponents face and swung her daggers .

Pat!

The man looked like a boxer and he expertly moved back but like a snake, Marie stuck to him and swiped with her dagger .

And at the same time, with her other hand, she threw a knife .

The man saw the knife coming at him and avoided it but right then, Marie stuck close to him and sliced him with her dagger .

Shookak!

“Kuk!”

“Kuk!”

Regrettably the dagger barely scratched the man’s elbow .

But, as if to say that was enough for her, Marie took a step back .

“Uuck?!”

And then, as if something was strange, the man looked at his elbow . As if there was something wrong with it .

‘It’s poison . ’

I could surmise that easily .

There is nothing as good as poison to an a.s.sa.s.sin .

Being single-handedly beat, the men’s’ expressions didn’t look good .

Then they conversed amongst themselves before picking up the three corpses retreating .

I had sylph scout the surrounding area to see if any enemies stayed behind .

Thankfully, all the enemies were gone .

“Is it over?”

“Already?”

Asked Cha Jin-hyuk and Yoo Ji-soo as they came out onto the terrace .

I nodded my head .

“They’ve all retreated . There is no enemy nearby . ”

“Already? When there were 13 of them? Wow, you really got a lot stronger . ”

Said Yoo Ji-soo as she looked at me with admiration .

Honestly, I was very lucky .

No, I actually realized I’m a much strong fighter than I thought I was .

All the countless skills I’ve gotten was because of the skill synthesis!

All of them were used effectively and they made all the earlier attacks pretty much useless .

Not long after that, from the western sky, a helicopter approached . Maybe it was using magic because it made no sound .

The helicopter landed on the building rooftop and from inside, 4 men and women got out .

“Are you Mr . Kim Hyun-ho?”

A young woman in black combat gear asked as she approached .

She was a pretty woman with hair dyed a dark brown and permed in waves .

The black combat gear that stuck to her skin showed off her voluptuous figure without hiding anything .

Judging by her broad shoulders and well-toned thighs, she was, without a doubt, a combat examinee .

“Yes, have you come from the research agency?”

“Yes . It is an honor to meet a world ranker . ”

“Oh please . Thank you for coming . ”

“Don’t mention it . We’re all working on mobilization pay for this anyway . But where is the enemy?”

“Thankfully they’ve all retreated . ”

“Really? Didn’t you say it was about 13 people or so?”

“Really? Didn’t you say it was about 13 people or so?”

“Yes, among them 3 died and the rest ran away . ”

“Aw, what a pity . If they were corrupt examinees, it would have been a good opportunity to get some karma . Did you get anything out of it?”

“Hm, hold on, let me see . Summon board . ”

I summoned my board and took a look .

-Name: Kim Hyun-ho

-Cla.s.s: 43

-Karma: +1,300

-Mission: rest until the next exam .

-Time limit: 84 days 12 hours

After raising my spirit summons to superior level 4 and animal training to master, I had 300 karma left .

But after getting rid of those two just now, it was only at 1,300 karma .

Despite having killed two people, I only got 1,000 karma .

“Disappointing . It hadn’t been long since they became corrupt examinees . ”

“Really? Then they weren’t from China or Columbia or from Africa where the corrupt b.a.s.t.a.r.ds operate freely . ”

“They were from the British TUK . ”

“England?”

The woman was completely surprised .

I gave her a short explanation of Yoo Ji-soo’s team situation .

“It seems England is divulging their true motives now too . What is money?”

She was mumbling like so when she must have suddenly recalled something because she clapped as she asked me .

“Oh, did I introduce myself?”

“No . ”

“Hoho, I’m such a scatter brain . ”

She cheerfully introduced herself .

This woman with strong thighs who exudes health was Choi Chi-hoo .

This year she is 34 and thus 4 years older than me and she became an examinee after dying in a car accident .

Did she say she was a judo athlete before?

“My body was originally quite rough . Thanks to the physical strength buff, my body figure is a bit more womanly now . ”

Hmm, she even says things about stuff I wasn’t even curious about . She’s very cheerful .

“What do you mean, you’re beautiful . ”

“Hohoho, thanks for the empty compliment anyway . No matter how hard I try these horse thighs won’t go anywhere . Well, I’m thankful for this much too anyway . ”

Now that I think of it, Cha Ji-hye is a physical buff superior level 1 and her thighs aren’t as thick as this woman .

No matter how much the physical strength buff changes your body, it wouldn’t change the original figure you were born with .

“Anyway, the fight is over and the rest have fled, I’ll go report it to the research agency . ”

“Okay, sure . ”

While Choi Chi-hoo made a call, we introduced each other to Choi Chi-hoo’s group .

“Okay, sure . ”

While Choi Chi-hoo made a call, we introduced each other to Choi Chi-hoo’s group .

They were all members that were clearing exams in Choi Chi-hoo’s team, 24th turn exam veterans .

A little while later, Choi Chi-hoo, who had been talking on the phone, handed it over to me .

“It’s the chief and they would like to talk to you . ”

“Okay . ”

I took the cellphone .

“h.e.l.lo?”

-Mr . Kim hyun-ho, I am chief Im Chul-ho . I’m glad to hear you are safe .

The new chief of the Korean Arena Research Agency, Im Chul-ho, was the new replacement right after Kim Joong-tae was expelled from the position . From what I’ve heard he’s from the Jinseong group side of things .

Not long ago we met concerning the Big Rat ranch problem .

“Yes, we were very lucky . Anyway, the opponents were TUK examinees and they attacked the Yoo Ji-soo team that were part of the Korean Arena Research Agency not too long ago . ”

-I didn’t know that England would do such a thing . They probably went after Yoo Ji-soo’s team because they aren’t managed by us, thinking there would be no repercussions . ”

“But today, they attacked them even though they were with me . ”

-You are the same, Mr . Kim Hyun-ho .

“Excuse me?”

-It may be forward of me to say but you too, Mr . Kim hyun-ho, are not managed by any organization or agency . You have an intimate relations.h.i.+p with the Nordic exam Group but that doesn’t necessarily mean that if you were attacked, there would be someone with the loyalty who would exact revenge on your behalf .

“…… . That is true . ”

-Of course, you have collaborated in a business with us so we’ll do our best to guarantee your safety . But this business is carried out in secret so there’s no way that England would know about that .

In the end, they had decided that if they killed me, there would be no consequences .

Formally I was contracted with Jinseong Group, but Jinseong group purchases majeong from examinees and provide aid towards that, but they don’t partic.i.p.ate beyond that capacity .

-So the TUK, which is backed by the royal family and n.o.ble houses of England, planned to take this opportunity to get rid of a recently exceptional attacker such as you Kim Hyun-ho, and permanently maintain their foot in the Arena business .

“What is an attacker?”

-People like you, who are pus.h.i.+ng to clear the exams, are called that .

“I see . Then not only England, but agencies from other countries may try this too . ”

-Yes . The investors in the Arena business will do anything in order to increase their investment earnings .

“If the majeong harvesting through the ranch is a success, would that be enough to convince them?”

I said it a low voice while using Sylph to not let the question be heard by the others .

-Yes, but actually I have something to tell you about the Big Rat ranch .

“Is there a problem?”

-Yes, many of them .

“Are the Big Rats dying or something?”

-Not exactly, no . I think it best if you see for yourself .

What could it be?

I decided to head with the group to the Korean Arena Research Agency right away .
