Chapter 216 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Player in Korea (37)

“Brother! I brought you!”

Hunter, a large man, burst open the door with a sweaty face and shouted.

“Who is your brother?”

Baek Sung-hoon frowned at him disapprovingly.

“I’m sorry!”

A man with a skinny body in contrast to the man also came in after him.
The man with tattoos all over his body was grabbing a woman’s arm and pulling her.

Baek Seong-hoon’s eyes widened when he saw her.

“Is that the kid?”

The woman brought by Hunter, a skinny man, was tall enough to appear to be in the middle of 170 cm.
It’s just that her height stood out because she was standing next to a man, but her overall impression was as cute as a doll.
She was a beauty that could only be seen in an advertisement, with silver hair and detailed features.

“Foreigner…?”

Baek Sung-hoon muttered at the thought of being unexpected.
Since the hunters who declared themselves to be the soul mage’s bodyguards were all Korean, I thought that the soul mage was naturally Korean.

“Oh, no. Her mother is Ukrainian and her father is Korean. This is also the nationality.”
“Hmm…”

The woman seemed to have been dragged roughly, but her expression did not change much.
Looking at her face in isolation, it created a strange feeling, as if looking at a still image.

“You mean he’s a soul mage?”

Baek Sung-hoon stood up from the chair he was sitting on.

Seeing the corpse of a comrade still lying on the floor, the big Hunter hiik! He groaned and was startled.
The only difference was that the body was noticeably thinner than it was five hours before they left.
Of course, five hours was too short a time for a corpse to be mummified.
That fact made him even more terrified, so he fell to his knees.

“Yo, please forgive me!”
“Who killed you? Don’t keep bothering me.”

Baek Seong-hoon said with his eyes still fixed on the woman.
He trudged in front of the woman.
She was wearing a plain dress and wearing shoes.
His hair was long enough to cover his entire back, but he wore no makeup.

Baek Sung-hoon admired.

“What a pretty child.”
“Lol. It’s probably because it’s blood. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a pretty mixed race.”

The skinny Hunter said with a broad smile as if he had been praised.

“But this kid, can’t you talk?”

Baek Seong-hun frowned at the expressionless woman from beginning to end.
He was like a doll or mannequin in the sense that he couldn’t feel any vitality unless he was standing in front of him, breathing.

“You probably know how to do it.”
“Maybe?”
“We’ve never heard a voice before.”
“What?”

Baek Sung-hoon frowned and glared at the skinny man.

“Sah, save me!”

Without threatening anything, the skinny man, too, knelt down and bowed his head.

“How do you know if this kid is a soul mage or not?”
“I heard from the father of this child. She sold it to us because she was too scared to keep her.”
“You sold it? Her daughter?”
“Looks like something happened. It is said that the mother of this child was originally an alcoholic and her mother abused her daughter. She also stabbed her hand from time to time. One day a man called his father came home and said that her wife was dead. There was this kid standing next to him.”

As the skinny man Hunter said that, he glanced at the corpse of his colleague lying on the floor.

“It’s as if the body was as dry as a mummy…”
“Yes?”

Baek Sung-hoon became curious.
There was a reason why the corpse in the room had become like a mummy.
Just as he did when he killed Kang Dong-kwon, he used a tool to extract his soul.
Since he was the same Hunter, he naturally thought that way would work.

He confirmed firsthand that Hunters whose souls were extracted become like mummies.

So I became interested in what the skinny man said.

“You mean this kid killed his mother?”
“It seems so. In fact, it is said that such an incident did not happen once. He said he saw two more bodies of the same shape…”
“Well…”

Perhaps the girl’s father couldn’t keep her around because he thought she was killing her people.
Moreover, if she was such a reticent daughter, she would have been more afraid because she could not know her true intentions.
Even so, the fact that he sold her daughter for money means that the father is not normal either.

“Isn’t that proof that you’re a soul mage?”
“Every time I found a body, I felt a strong aura from her daughter. The same thing happened over and over again, so I did my own research. Especially when her own wife died, it was said that her inexplicable malevolent aura passed over this child. We were also very interested in soul magicians. She experienced the ability abroad and thought that there might be someone with the same ability in Korea. We were doing a search, and this child’s father contacted us.”
“Do you guys really think this kid is a soul mage?”
“She’s been taking it for three months, but I’m not really sure yet. She’s never seen this kid kill anyone. It would be nice if we could use this child’s ability, or we were thinking of selling it to a foreign country for a large sum of money. The amount requested by the person called my father was smaller than I thought, so even if this child is not a soul mage, I thought it would not be a loss.”

The skinny Hunter noticed as he said that.

Baek Seong-hoon could read his thoughts.
She would have thought that even if she couldn’t be used as a soul mage, if she was a mysterious woman with such a beauty, she would become money in some way.

“Right.”

Baek Sung-hoon was lost in thought for a moment.
The large Hunter, who looked at him still and rolled his eyes, spoke cautiously.

“If Hunter wants it, she will hand this child over to Hunter. Instead, if you pay a little more attention to us…”

I don’t know why Baek Seong-hun suddenly became interested in the soul mage, but he thought it best to sell him a woman.
Since Baek Seong-hun had already caught her eye, it was wrong to take her out completely.

“I can give you money. Talk about trivial things like that later.”

When he said that money was not a problem, a big man and a skinny man both smiled at the same time.

“Go, thank you!”

Baek Sung-hoon stared straight at the woman.

“Do you speak Korean?”

The woman said nothing.
Baek Sung-hoon waited patiently, then quietly nodded his head.

“You know how to talk, but you don’t want to? Do you know who I am?”

The woman looked at Baek Sung-hoon and made a fearful expression.
Looking at him quietly shaking his head, he didn’t know who he was, but at least he seemed to recognize him as a strong hunter.
Baek Seong-hoon was sure that she too would have her Hunter abilities.
She seems to be suppressing it on purpose, but I could feel the mana in her that was not green.

He took out a tool from his inventory.
A tool that extracted the souls of Kang Dong-kwon and corpses lying on the floor, in other words, mana.

The woman who saw it made a curious expression.
Baek Seong-hun pushed one side of her tool at her.

It showed the mana swirling in it, and the whirlpool-shaped smoke that made me feel bad if I looked into it.

“Do you know what this is?”

The woman’s expression twisted.
I looked at the faces of the soul and Baek Sung-hoon alternately and took a step back.

“You mean you know.”

Baek Seong-hoon called the tall man and the skinny man who were still kneeling.

“Come on.”
“Yeah!”

The two men happily came to Baek Seong-hun on their knees, probably thinking that they were offering money.
However, Baek Seong-hoon did not call the two to pay the woman’s ransom.
I grabbed the necks of the two men who were close enough.

“Ouch!”
“Keck! Huh, Hunter!”

Baek Seong-hoon, expressionless, put strength in his hand and broke the neck bones of the two.
There were unpleasant pops and pops, and the eyes of the two men flipped over, tilting their heads in an unnatural direction.

I watched Baek Seong-hun kill two men with an expressionless expression, but with a look of terror.

Baek Seong-hun had a different reason for killing the two men.
He pointed the soul extractor in turn at the two men who were still hiding but whose lives were about to end.

First, the big man.
It took about 10 seconds to extract his soul.
Then there’s the skinny man.
This time around 7-8 seconds.

The woman silently watched the whole process.

“I have something I want to ask you.”

Baek Sung-hoon said to the woman.

“Do you know where this soul is used?”

The woman stared at Baek Sung-hoon in silence.
Baek Sung-hoon glared at her.
He used a method that would be more effective if he had the same Hunter ability, and if the ability wasn’t weak.
The woman’s body trembled as her mana erupted and squeezed, and tears trickled down her doll-like face.

Eventually the woman nodded her head.

“Great…”

Baek Sung-hoon smiled.
He threw the soul extraction tool in his hand in front of the woman.

“Show me.”
