Episode 90
Chapter 90. That Kind of Crazy Bastard
Hiss, hiss.
Seri breathing heavily.
Tears welled up in her eyes, which had looked almost angry.
“Wait, what, are you crying?”
At Noona’s teary eyes, Ji-seong cried out.
“Who says I’m crying?!”
Seri immediately denied it.
“D-don’t cry!!”
To comfort her, Ji-seong frowned and said.
“There’s no need to cry yet! If Kang Hoon hyung is lucky… he might use his Trait.”
“Trait?”
“Teleport. The Trait installed at Kang Hoon hyung’s home.”
“Ah…”
Only then did Seri nod.
But her expression remained dark.
Hidden bosses usually appear suddenly without any chance to react.
They’re characterized by ambushing Hunters and killing them instantly.
Therefore.
Park Kang-hoon, a novice Hunter, was likely already dead.
Even knowing this fact.
“…Still, I have to go to the Gate.”
Seri started walking.
“If Noona insists on it… alright. I’ll follow you too.”
Ji-seong prayed as he spoke.
That somehow he’d preserve his life and escape quickly, even if he had to run away.
Then Ji-seong could save him with his Healing Skill.
‘Please, Kang Hoon hyung. Just run away quickly.’
While thinking this.
‘…He’s not actually fighting the hidden boss, is he?’
A strange worry arose.
The eccentric behavior of ‘Park Kang-hoon’ he’d seen so far was different from other Hunters.
‘No way, surely not.’
Shaking his head, Ji-seong denied it.
‘No matter how much of a character Kang Hoon hyung is, he’s not that kind of crazy bastard.’
However.
He didn’t know.
…That Park Kang-hoon was actually that kind of crazy bastard.
* * *
A level 30 hidden boss.
For Kang Hoon at level 22, it was an absolutely unwinnable opponent.
Even Kang Hoon’s Golem Legion, as well as Alba’s power, were merely at the level of that thing’s ‘prototype’.
Even Lucky’s cold attribute, despite being Unique Grade, was disadvantageous against stone.
In the end.
No matter what methods were used, this level difference was hard to overcome.
Of course.
──That would be true if the golem were fully assembled.
“Lucky!”
Before reason could judge, without even realizing it.
“Cut this wire!!”
Kang Hoon shouted.
Immediately, the tightly gripped circuit wire suddenly became taut!
Graviton’s hip bone hanging at the end of the circuit!
That part shot out like an arrow to reach the main body!
“Ugh!”
Kang Hoon pulled the circuit with all his might.
– Kyaaaauuung!
With Lucky’s powerful bite, he tumbled backward.
It was due to the recoil from the circuit being severed.
“Whoa!”
In front of Kang Hoon who had fallen in place,
Thud!!
The disconnected hip bone fell down.
At the same time.
Kuuung!
Kuung.
Not only the lower spine and pelvis that were being assembled around the hip bone.
Kuuuuung!!
Even the legs fell helplessly to the ground!
“Got it!”
Kang Hoon shouted.
Grr… Grrrrrr──!!
Graviton, suddenly deprived of its lower body, screamed as if panicked.
Its left arm was already assembled.
Its right arm too, with circuits connecting like a spider web from the fingers!
“Damn! Even just the upper body seems too strong?!”
Something came to Kang Hoon’s mind.
It was chopsticks and reed stems.
…You know, an essential element learned in university architecture classes.
That’s ‘load bearing’.
Every building has main parts that support the entire ‘load’.
“Even community college liberal arts classes teach that much!”
Amateur architecture.
For a liberal arts assignment, Kang Hoon had built a bridge with chopsticks and stationery store reed stems.
During the midterm evaluation.
A sly bearded professor held a pointer and.
Tap!
As soon as he broke one of them, the entire bridge collapsed.
That meant.
──”Golems must be the same!”
Rolling his eyes quickly, Kang Hoon surveyed the workshop.
He had already grasped the overall structure.
The problem was the ‘chopstick’ that Kang Hoon was looking for.
The most important part that bears the load was nowhere to be seen.
‘It’s hidden!’
Therefore, Kang Hoon focused on the circuits rather than the parts.
“Alba, punch!!”
He immediately commanded!
The problem was that the direction he pointed to was not Graviton or parts, but the wall.
…If it had been an ordinary Hunter, they would have questioned it first.
– Yes, Master!
Golem.
Alba immediately complies!
Just like when he drilled a hole in the cliff during the first test.
As he swung his arm and drove his fist down!
Kwakwakwakwakwang!!
The wall carved with strange patterns immediately crumbled down.
Beyond the wall, circuits that had been woven like spider webs revealed themselves.
“Lucky! Tear it apart!”
Even before Kang Hoon could command.
– Kyaooo!
Lucky had already leaped up!
Rip… ripppppp──!
The secretly hidden parts. The moment the circuits connecting those parts were destroyed.
Kuuuung…!
Graviton’s upper body lost its center and collapsed.
All that remained of it was the head, neck, and left arm.
The assembly had completely failed!
“Huff, gasp…!”
Breathing heavily belatedly, Kang Hoon looked up at the ceiling.
The ceiling of the workshop that was strangely high.
There was a reason for everything.
“If it had been completed and stood up, it would have been that size…?”
If Graviton had been assembled as planned.
Kang Hoon would have had no chance of winning.
Kang Hoon instinctively knew that fact too.
A golem created in this dungeon and living here for a long time.
Alba knew it even more painfully.
‘The despair that we could never defeat… Master has now destroyed it.’
Abandoned prototype.
Leftover trash.
Waste fragments.
Such golems were instead completed under Kang Hoon’s hands.
Rip, ripppppp──!!
The being completed through their sacrifice.
Graviton crawled on the floor and let out a scream filled with rage!
A moment beyond words.
Alba chose action instead of words.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
Running toward Graviton, swinging both fists!
The perfect fists that Master had made!
– Exterminate!!
The other golems were the same.
– Exterminate! Exterminate!
Naturally repeating the battle cry(?) that Kang Hoon had taught them earlier!
– Exterminate! Exterminate!
– Exterminate! Exterminate!
– Exterminate! Exterminate!
Dozens of golems charging forward vigorously.
Cupping his hands to his mouth, Kang Hoon also encouraged them.
“Let’s go! Full operation! Golem Unit!!”
What tremendous spirit.
However.
─Kwajiseuk!
…The leading golem was immediately destroyed.
Hit in the torso by Graviton’s swinging palm, in just one blow.
“…”
…This, the attack power difference is too great?
At the unexpected blow, not only Kang Hoon.
Even the golems hesitated.
They froze as if a pause button had been pressed.
Geugeuk, geugeuk, geoeoeoek──!
Its target was clear.
As Graviton swung its fist again, the second golem’s head flew off.
Taaeaeng!
The ball that flew like a baseball hit the cold operating table.
“Whoa!”
Following that, Graviton raised its left hand high again.
“Lucky!”
As Kang Hoon stretched his arm to the side, Lucky flew over in an instant and pushed his head into Kang Hoon’s side.
Embracing the creature’s neck, Kang Hoon also quickly climbed onto Lucky’s back!
Kuuuung!
Graviton’s palm struck down where he had been.
Geoeoeo───!!
As the enraged creature let out a roar.
The Golem Unit began charging again!
– Exterminate!
– Exterminate! Exterminate!
The attack on their commander, Park Kang-hoon.
Seemed to have become a trigger instead.
Golems charging with even more fierce momentum than before, fearlessly!
At their head was naturally Alba.
– Protect Master!!
Only one goal.
To protect Kang Hoon, they kept charging and charging again!
However.
Graviton’s destructive power was truly terrible.
Even though the golems attacked endlessly, it showed no sign of fatigue.
Moreover.
Even with only its left arm attached, it fought 30 golems without problem.
No, 29 golems.
Crack!
28 bodies.
Kuuung! Bweoook!
27 bodies, 26 bodies.
Kuguuuuuuung!
…25 bodies.
With arms so long they’d make an eight-armed ghost jealous, it began sweeping away the golems.
Gripping Lucky’s scruff,
“…Ha.”
Shiver, shiver!
Kang Hoon felt the hair on his back standing up and goosebumps rising.
“To think it’s this powerful with just one hand. If I’d left it alone, I’d already be trampled to death.”
However.
Kang Hoon had his own crazy(?) antics that only he could pull off.
Pointing at the front row, he shouted like this.
“Front row Mobile Unit! You guys are Team 1! Attack team!!”
Toward the golems that were a bit closer, he gave another command.
“Team 2! Defense team!”
Following that.
“And you!”
He pointed specifically at a uniquely small-sized golem standing in the far corner.
“Go pick up that operating table over there.”
Then the small golem staggered over and dragged the cold operating table along.
Besides that, the golems who received no commands tilted their heads in confusion.
Alba asked.
– Master. What do the rest of us do?
“The rest are all Team 3! Team 3 is the assist team!”
– Assist…? What does the team do?
At that, Kang Hoon willingly jumped down from the safest space.
From Lucky’s back.
“Gather all the fragments of your broken comrades! Put them here, on the operating table!!”
Immediately.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
Park Kang-hoon’s Mobile Unit.
The golems all began moving in unison.
Rolling up his sleeves, Kang Hoon placed his hand on the fragment that was placed first on the operating table.
On the body of a freshly destroyed golem.
“I have 110 enhancement uses left today.”
And he smiles.
Even in this desperate moment.
As if this moment is incredibly fun,
Like a complete madman.
“Let’s see you fight against golems that resurrect 110 times!”
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
Along with the sound of golem footsteps, while listening to his heartbeat.
Kang Hoon shouted.
──────”Enhancement!!”
* * *
There’s a saying.
‘No one can stand against a gang beating!’
‘Gang beating.’
It refers to a fighting method where multiple people face one person.
It’s truly despicable and lowly behavior.
Right now, what Kang Hoon is doing is exactly that.
“Beat him up! Beat him more! Gang up on him!”
…Shaking the Hidden Place with very villain-like lines.
Grrrr─, grrr, grgk─!
Every time Graviton destroyed, destroyed, and destroyed.
When they fell, he repaired them again.
When they were smashed, he repaired them again.
Even when ground to powder, he quickly repaired them.
Coming back, coming back, and coming back again – a horde of golems.
Truly cursed dolls, no, cursed golems!
It’s an 【Annabelle】 grand operation!!
In horror movies there was only one doll.
But in this dungeon there are 30 bodies.
Grgk, grr, eok! Eek…!!
It was enough to confuse even Graviton’s data.
– Exterminate!
– Exterminate!
– Exterminate!
Among those charging again and again with blood-red eyes.
Graviton ended up buried.
…Now, who’s the aggressor?
