Auto Looting Range Too Wide Episode 50

 

Episode 50: Class 2 Criminal (2)

 

In the blink of an eye, Kang Ung-hyeok was right in front of him.

 

His massive frame was so imposing it felt like a wall had suddenly risen up.

 

“Hand over my elixir!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok reached out toward Mincheol.

 

His movements were large and crude. But Mincheol felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

 

【Activating skill ‘Quick Turn’.】

 

Mincheol reflexively activated his skill.

 

As he spun half a turn, the hand fell.

 

It grazed past his face and slammed into the ground. The earth shattered with a thunderous roar.

 

‘What is he, an ogre or something…’

 

Mincheol clicked his tongue.

 

If he took even one hit, his entire body would probably end up like dried gum stuck to the ground.

 

“You dodged?”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok looked at Mincheol with surprise.

 

A brief opening.

 

Mincheol quickly shouted.

 

“Kkwak! Buff!”

 

Kkwaekkwi dove down from the sky. It perched on Mincheol’s head and spread both wings.

 

【’Kkwaekkwi’ uses ‘Warm Wind Wing Beat’!】

 

【All physical abilities increase by 10% for 10 minutes!】

 

【Movement speed increases by 20%!】

 

A gust of wind wrapped around Mincheol’s body. Power surged through his entire being.

 

“A pet? Where did you get something so rare?”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok asked with curiosity.

 

But Mincheol had no leisure to answer.

 

His nerves were on edge, trying to track Kang Ung-hyeok’s every move.

 

“Not going to answer? Then let’s continue what we were doing!”

 

Once again, Kang Ung-hyeok appeared before Mincheol’s eyes.

 

His speed felt like teleportation.

 

“This time I’ll definitely catch you!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok spread his palm wide.

 

Mincheol scrutinized every aspect of Kang Ung-hyeok’s movements.

 

The position of his feet, the twist of his waist, the rotation of his shoulders.

 

It was sloppy and crude. Thanks to that, he could clearly read the trajectory of the fist.

 

Mincheol twisted his upper body.

 

The hand grazed past his nose. A storm brushed his face and flew backward.

 

The power was bone-chilling.

 

“You dodged again?”

 

Even with Kkwaekkwi’s buff, it was difficult to react to all the attacks – they were that fast.

 

Barely dodging by a hair’s breadth was all he could manage.

 

‘This is driving me crazy!’

 

It wasn’t just fast. The power was extraordinary too.

 

Every time he swung his arms, storm-like wind pressure swept through.

 

If just grazing was this intense, it was obvious what would happen if he took a direct hit.

 

“Th-this is impossible. He’s holding his own against a Class 2 criminal?”

 

“Kang Ung-hyeok is a renowned powerhouse even among Class 2 criminals…!”

 

“He’s going toe-to-toe with that monster!”

 

The bounty hunters shouted in amazement.

 

‘What nonsense are they talking about.’

 

But from his perspective, it was an absurd misunderstanding.

 

Going toe-to-toe? Not even close.

 

Mincheol was barely surviving at best.

 

The only reason this was even possible was because Kang Ung-hyeok wasn’t trying to kill Mincheol.

 

He was simply trying to capture him.

 

“This is truly remarkable.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok said while flexing his hands. Thanks to that, Mincheol could catch his breath.

 

“To make me miss twice… truly impressive skill.”

 

Mincheol didn’t take Kang Ung-hyeok’s praise seriously.

 

The only reason Mincheol could hold out this long was entirely thanks to Cardmos Dunwall’s knowledge.

 

“In that spirit, wouldn’t you consider looking out for a promising junior?”

 

“Junior? What kind of ridiculous nonsense is that!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok exploded in anger.

 

“A skilled awakener like you is nothing but competition! If I let you live and you become a big shot, you might steal the elixirs I should be getting!”

 

Tsk.

 

Mincheol clicked his tongue. He’d hoped for some mercy, but it was a foolish thought.

 

“And if you’re going to beg for your life, hand over my elixir first!”

 

“I told you, I don’t know anything about it!”

 

“Lies don’t work on my muscles!”

 

“Since when do muscles have that function!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok’s body vanished.

 

But Mincheol had already completely grasped Kang Ung-hyeok’s movement patterns.

 

‘Now.’

 

He activated Strong Strike and kicked off the ground. He retreated from his original position.

 

The next moment, Kang Ung-hyeok appeared where Mincheol had been standing.

 

Kang Ung-hyeok reached out but only grasped empty air.

 

“You dodged again?”

 

Surprise flickered across Kang Ung-hyeok’s face.

 

At that moment, Mincheol’s hands moved. He drew his twin swords and slashed at Kang Ung-hyeok’s vital points in succession.

 

‘What?’

 

It felt like scraping steel rather than human skin.

 

No, even real steel would have shown scratch marks.

 

But Kang Ung-hyeok’s skin was perfectly fine. Not even a scratch appeared.

 

“How impudent. If you want to wound my body, bring at least a Unique-grade weapon!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok roared and swung his hand down.

 

Five fingers tried to grab hold of Mincheol.

 

Mincheol quickly twisted his body and bent his waist backward.

 

Whoosh-

 

Kang Ung-hyeok’s hand swept over Mincheol’s face.

 

‘Now’s my chance.’

 

He wanted a Unique-grade weapon to inflict damage?

 

He didn’t have a Unique-grade weapon. But he did have a Unique-grade skill.

 

Mincheol sprang his body forward. He dove into Kang Ung-hyeok’s embrace.

 

【Activating skill ‘Fang Severance’.】

 

The twin swords sliced through the air with fierce momentum.

 

A pair of fangs cut toward Kang Ung-hyeok’s neck.

 

“Front lat spread!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok positioned himself with both hands at his sides.

 

Power flowed into his neck as his trapezius muscles expanded.

 

Crack.

 

Fang Severance was blocked by the expanded trapezius. The blade even chipped.

 

“Kuk!”

 

Mincheol quickly created distance. Fortunately, Kang Ung-hyeok didn’t pursue him.

 

“This is surprising. Who would have thought you’d have a unique grade skill.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok’s tone became quite serious.

 

“Don’t tell me you’re affiliated with a large guild? No, if that were the case, you wouldn’t take such risks. Then unaffiliated? But an unaffiliated person with a unique grade skill and a pet?”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok crossed his arms and fell into thought.

 

“Ah, I was curious about something pointless. What does it matter where you’re affiliated? To me, you’re just a rotten elixir thief!”

 

Mincheol didn’t respond to Kang Ung-hyeok’s words at all.

 

‘Fang Severance didn’t work.’

 

‘I couldn’t even leave a scratch. Does this make sense?’

 

The fact that he couldn’t cut bare skin without even armor was that shocking.

 

“You look like you don’t understand.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok saw through Mincheol’s inner thoughts.

 

“Unlike equipment, skills grow together with their owner. Their power is determined by the owner’s level, stats, and various other factors.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok flexed his forearm. His biceps bulged out.

 

“In other words, because you’re too weak, even a unique grade skill couldn’t wound my body.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok slowly caressed his own body with an affectionate expression.

 

Mincheol felt goosebumps rising.

 

“As expected of my body. Beautiful and strong. Don’t you think so?”

 

“Ah, yes.”

 

“To dare steal an elixir from such a cute child…”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok’s expression twisted.

 

Muscles throughout his body became prominent as blood vessels bulged red.

 

“I will never forgive you!”

 

Mincheol was conflicted.

 

He couldn’t inflict wounds with rare grade weapons. Even Fang Severance, which he was confident in, didn’t work.

 

“Kuk.”

 

In the end, Mincheol chose to turn around and run away.

 

“Ha! Do you think you can escape from me!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok lowered his body. Like a track athlete’s starting position.

 

Immediately after-

 

Crash-

 

Kang Ung-hyeok’s body shot forward. He charged at Mincheol.

 

At that moment, Mincheol changed direction. He entered the building alley.

 

By a hair’s breadth, Kang Ung-hyeok’s body brushed past Mincheol.

 

Kang Ung-hyeok immediately planted his legs into the ground.

 

Crack.

 

The ground was deeply gouged as his body stopped.

 

“Where do you think you’re running!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok turned around and headed for the alley entrance.

 

The moment he entered the alley, a hand axe flew and struck his face.

 

Kang Ung-hyeok didn’t dodge. He didn’t even close his eyes.

 

The hand axe bounced off Kang Ung-hyeok’s forehead.

 

“I told you it’s useless.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok spoke to Mincheol at the end of the alley.

 

Mincheol turned around and disappeared around the corner.

 

“Do you think you can escape from me at that speed!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok ran down the alley, shaking the ground.

 

Then, a hand axe flew from the direction Mincheol had fled.

 

The hand axe bounced off the building wall and ricocheted to strike Kang Ung-hyeok.

 

“Hm?”

 

If it hit the wall, the speed and power should have decreased normally.

 

But the hand axe had everything preserved.

 

“You use an interesting skill! But I said it’s useless!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok shouted as he burst out of the alley.

 

Just as he was about to charge in the direction Mincheol had fled.

 

Meteor Spear Technique.

 

Chapter 1: Starlight Soaring Heaven.

 

A streak of light pierced through Kang Ung-hyeok.

 

“…!”

 

For the first time, tension appeared on Kang Ung-hyeok’s face.

 

Kang Ung-hyeok crossed his forearms to block the light.

 

Crash-

 

The spear and forearms collided. But the light didn’t bounce off.

 

“What?”

 

Instead, it pushed back Kang Ung-hyeok’s forearms. Kang Ung-hyeok planted one foot in the ground and held firm.

 

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain.

 

Surprisingly, the spear tip had penetrated his skin.

 

“…!”

 

At this rate, his forearm would be pierced through.

 

“Uooooh!”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok pumped power into his muscles. The muscles in his forearms and shoulders expanded.

 

The advancing spear stopped. Kang Ung-hyeok immediately struck the spear with his opposite fist.

 

Bang!

 

The spear shattered and the light disappeared. Kang Ung-hyeok looked ahead with a surprised face.

 

In the distance, he could see Mincheol in a throwing stance.

 

“Damn.”

 

Mincheol spoke with a frustrated expression.

 

“…”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok was momentarily speechless.

 

The skill Mincheol had just used was not ordinary.

 

“…I shouldn’t take you lightly.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok’s atmosphere changed. He decided to get serious.

 

This was the situation Mincheol had been so worried about. Mincheol immediately turned around and fled.

 

No, he tried to flee.

 

Before that, an impact struck his body.

 

‘Huh?’

 

When he came to his senses, he was flying through the air.

 

Only after crashing to the ground did Mincheol realize.

 

That he had been sent flying through the air after being struck by Kang Ung-hyeok’s charge.

 

He tried to get up, but no strength would enter his body.

 

“Urgh.”

 

Mincheol spat out blood like a broken faucet.

 

Thud, thud.

 

Heavy footsteps could be heard. Kang Ung-hyeok was walking this way.

 

“Cough, cough.”

 

Mincheol pulled out a hand axe from his inventory. Scraping together what little strength remained, he threw the weapon.

 

The hand axe flew weakly, struck Kang Ung-hyeok’s body, and bounced off.

 

“Hmph, pointless.”

 

Kang Ung-hyeok approached right up close. Mincheol pulled out a bundle of chakrams.

 

【Activating skill ‘Scatter’.】

 

【’80’ mana consumed.】

 

Multiple chakrams flew out all at once.

 

A few flew past Kang Ung-hyeok and sailed behind him. Most embedded into Kang Ung-hyeok.

 

But the result was the same. The chakrams also failed to inflict even a scratch on Kang Ung-hyeok.

 

Kang Ung-hyeok, who had come close, grabbed Mincheol by the neck and lifted him up.

 

“You’d better prepare yourself from now on. I’ll make you reveal the location of the elixir even if I have to tear off your limbs.”

 

Murderous intent swirled in Kang Ung-hyeok’s eyes. It seemed he wouldn’t hesitate to use torture.

 

“Ha.”

 

Mincheol twisted his blood-stained lips into a mocking smile.

 

Seeing that sneer, Kang Ung-hyeok frowned.

 

“Why the hell are you laughing…”

 

In an extremely brief moment.

 

Kang Ung-hyeok felt something off. An uncomfortable feeling like a fish bone stuck in his throat.

 

Instinctively, he turned around. At that moment, Kang Ung-hyeok saw it.

 

A chakram flying toward him, wrapped in wind.

 

“Who threw…”

 

No, there was no one around here. No one could have thrown it.

 

Suddenly, Kang Ung-hyeok remembered.

 

The hand axe that had bounced off the wall in an ‘unnatural’ way.

 

“Don’t tell me it’s a skill…”

 

Sharbahan.

 

The legendary-grade chakram wrapped in wind blades severed Kang Ung-hyeok’s neck.
