Chapter 218 – Kang Seong-Ki, the Strongest Player in Korea (39)

Oksana accepted the tool from Baek Seong-hun.
And she confirmed the soul contained in it.
Her hands trembled a little as she peered at them.

“This, this…”
“That’s right. It’s an S-class soul.”
“Ah…”

Oksana seemed almost frightened.
Baek Seong-hoon misunderstood and said that he couldn’t handle it.

“No surprise. Just think you got it by accident. It’s because of this that I found you. It was a really good decision for me. If you had to own it for a hundred days, you wouldn’t have known where to use it.”

He said with a grin.

“That’s it. Put it on me Just like you did.”
“Yeah?”

Oksana looked at Baek Sung-hoon in shock.

“Why? Can’t you? You can’t handle S-class souls either?”
“That’s not… But…”
“Then what is the problem? Don’t annoy people, just do what you are told to do.”
“No. If you use this, you…”
“What am I? Are you saying you want to die?”

Oksana could not bear to answer, only nodded her head.

Haha!”

Baek Sung-hoon burst into laughter.

“You don’t know how strong an S-rank Hunter is. I have powers you could never imagine. And the owner of that soul was much weaker than me. Should I be concerned about absorbing such a bastard’s soul?”
“It’s not that kind of problem.”
“Then what is it?”
“Mana should be handled with care. I just got lucky and absorbed it easily, but if it doesn’t match…”
“Oh, what a fucking bitch!”

In the end, Baek Seong-hoon tangled his hair and got annoyed.

He had many reasons to be irritable.
Stress accumulated, such as Kang Seong-ki appearing out of nowhere and blocking his way, and the pressure of killing Kang Dong-kwon, who was in the same S-class anyway, made him explode at anything.
But now he wasn’t thinking about those things at all.
The only thing filling his head was the thought of wanting to quickly absorb the soul.

As long as I knew what it felt like to become explosively strong in an instant, I wanted to inject as many souls as possible, and quickly.
Seeing Oksana hesitating in front of him, her tantrum flared up.
If she wasn’t a soul mage, she might have lost her hand long ago.

“Do it faster. Do you want to be like them too?”

Baek Seong-hoon urged Oksana with red eyes.
Oksana looked down at the mummified corpses around her.
There was no sympathy or fear in her eyes.
Baek Seong-hun threatened with her life, but somehow Oksana seemed uninterested in protecting her life.
That annoyed Baek Sung-hoon even more.

“Ah! You really are a fucking bitch!”

He strode up and grabbed her Oksana by the neck.
In the hands of an S-class Hunter, a taller-than-average woman lifted her light as a feather.

Her strangled Oksana quickly turned blue.
Here, with just a little more force, her thin neck would snap.
However, she still had no regrets about life.
The expression on her face showed that she wanted him to die.

Baek Sung-hoon was startled and let go of his hand.

Took.

It was Oksana who fell to the floor as lightly as when she was lifted.

Baek Sung-hoon squatted down on her body and quickly hugged her by the shoulders.

“Sorry, sorry. It’s because there’s a reason why I have to become stronger right now. Help me just once If you help me, I will take responsibility for the rest of your life. It can’t compare to being dragged around by such scumbags. I will treat you as the princess that everyone envy.”

Baek Sung-hoon was sincere.
He was always pressed by Jo Dong-geun and was only looking for opportunities.
In fact, more than half gave up.
However, as he had hoped, he disappeared, and he came into contact with a powerful foreign organization.
Just when you thought the time had come, a thorn in your eye appeared and blocked your path.
If he could overcome the obstacles and become stronger, he would be able to set a bigger goal beyond his dream of becoming the number one player in Korea.
Most S-class hunters wouldn’t have had the luck of absorbing souls like he did.
Hunters with the qualities to absorb souls in the first place are very rare.
It was probably because of that reason that the Argentinian soul mage organization spoke of talent.
He understood everything now.

“There is a guy named Kang Seong-gi. He’s blocking my way right now. This country is mine, as long as you help me take him down. I am the king, you will be the queen.”

Baek Seong-hoon had a pleasant imagination and said, hehe.” He let out a laugh

Oksana just put on a sad face.
She was slowly but surely realizing.
As Baek Seong-hun said, he had no other choice but to inject S-class soul into him.

As if this was all fate, she said in a voice full of sadness.

“I see…”
“Yes!”

Baek Seong-hun was delighted and raised Oksana’s body.

“Do not worry about it. I’m not dying! I just had a good feeling! I have the gift of absorbing souls. Probably the best talent in the world! I was destined to become the number one in the world, not the number one in Korea!”

As if he had lost his sanity due to being addicted to drugs, Baek Seong-hoon muttered a dream-like sound.

Oksana held in her hand a tool containing her S-class soul.

“Sorry…”

She imbued her tools with mana.
A strong light that was incomparable to that when extracting the souls of other hunters was sprayed.

Haha!”

Unlike the first time, Baek Seong-hoon welcomed the mana flying toward him with open arms.
The thick, heavy smoke moved slowly and touched Baek Sung-hoon’s body.
It was absorbed into his body as lightly as when he absorbed his soul for the first time earlier.

“Look! That’s it! Are you worrying for nothing? I’m much stronger than you think…”

Baek Seong-hun’s voice, which had said that far, suddenly stopped.
Her lips were still moving, but no voice came out.

His eyes were bloodshot, and blue veins began to stand out all over his exposed skin.

“Cuck, heck.”

Oksana just looked at him with the same sad eyes.
She already knew this would happen.

If an S-class hunter had absorbed a soul of A-class or lower, it would be able to spit it out again even if it didn’t match.
But if it’s the same S-class soul…

Oksana looked at Baek Sung-hoon’s body, which began to inflate like a balloon.

“Sorry…”

She gave her words of apology, even though she had only reluctantly exercised her abilities under the intimidation of her opponent.
She was the one who lamented over her cursed fate, why she had awakened this ability.

“Ugh, ugh!”

Baek Sung-hoon’s stomach swelled like a mountain.
Two powerful manas that could not mix with each other were causing negative chemistry in his body.

Organs, bones, and blood all began to become contaminated.
Baek Seong-hoon couldn’t utter a word even though his death was approaching.

His eyeballs protruded as if about to be poured out, and his upper and lower lips were greatly puffed out, reminiscent of his crucian carp.

Phuong!-

Baek Sung-hoon’s dangerously inflated body eventually exploded.

Oksana, who was at close range, was covered in blood and flesh.
With her sad face, she was hit by shrapnel from human explosions, creating a strange feeling.

No matter how much she was an S-class hunter, she was powerless in front of the wrong combination of souls.

Oksana suddenly came to her senses and looked around her.
Regardless of her looks, she has Korean nationality and she has lived most of her life in Korea.
The death of an S-class Hunter.
It was as if she had broken something more valuable than her national treasure with her own hands.
There is no one to prove her innocence.

There are many people employed in this mansion, and it is impossible to leave without being noticed by them.

She ran quickly and activated the lock so that the closed door could not be opened from the outside.

A person’s name popped into her restless mind.

‘Kang Seong-gi…’

It was the name Baek Sung-hoon said he wanted to kill.
It occurred to him that if he was the one who was at odds with him, he might welcome Baek Sung-hoon’s death.
He felt that if he wanted life, he would have no one else to turn to.

She took her phone out of her inventory.
When I searched for the name Kang Seong-ki, the result came up as a South Korean S-class hunter.
No detailed information was given, just the facts.
Had it not been long since awakening, little could have been known yet.

She remembered one person as she chewed her fingernails.
Yoonmi Choi.
I’ve never met her in person, but she was a woman who was rumored to be interacting with S-class hunters.
She thought of the name as a lifeline, and this time she searched for the name Choi Yoon-mi.

She was able to get the phone number of her shop and she called them.
When she said that she called at the direction of Baek Seong-hoon, she said that the staff would call back.

After a minute or so of anxious waiting, she answered the phone.
It was not the shop’s phone number.
When she answered the call from an unfamiliar number, she heard a woman’s voice from inside.
It was a voice tinged with caution.

– Hello?
