Chapter 174 – The Power of Kang Ha-Jin

“Hey, let’s not embarrass ourselves instead.”
“Well, as long as you win, you’re good.”
“Are you really more confident than that?”
“Hmm… Self-esteem rather than self. I will definitely kill that bastard with my own hands.”
“Betting your life on your pride?! This crazy… “

Coo!!!!

Kwon Joo-hyeok and Kim Ji-hoon, who had been talking about various things during the break between Ha-jin and Tanji-ro’s exploration, hurriedly turned their heads at the roar coming from below.

“They are not humans… “
“It’s a miracle he survived… “

Kwon Ju-hyeok, who had stuck out his tongue, nodded vigorously as if agreeing with Kim Ji-hoon’s words.
It was the same for Kim Ji-hoon, but also for Kwon Joo-hyeok, who fearlessly ran into Tanji-ro, as if he had gone mad for a moment.
Meanwhile, it was Hajin who broke through the small old two-story house with a roar as if something was about to explode.

“Fuck! I almost got fucked!!”

Based on Hajin’s fast speed, it is a style that specializes in attacks that are equally strong.
Jackson, who has the characteristics of a warrior of steel, has defense power that does not budge even from a tolerable shock, and Kim Hyun-joon’s body is strengthened due to the characteristic of wild power, and his defense power is quite high even if it is not expressed numerically.
However, compared to them, Hajin does not have the ability to increase defense, so any attack Tanjiro makes can be fatal.
It was so strong that even colliding with a building while being pushed by the force like now would cause serious injury.
Of course, since the physical stat is high, the basic defense is good, and you can kick the wall first and break through the building without any damage by using the transcendental property of the body that does not damage the body just before colliding with the wall like now, but you can get out of the building without any damage. Having to fight without being hit by the enemy is a disadvantage that inevitably acts as a significant disadvantage in such a high-level fight.

Awesome!! Awesome!!
Deed Dede Deuk!!!

“You bastard! Cut it in moderation!!”

It’s not something Ha-jin, who broke through the wall, would say, but Ha-jin, who shouted at Tanjiro, who jumped out of the building like paper, landed on top of a one-story shopping mall, jumped up again, and grabbed both hands at Tanjiro, who was falling down. He swung the bone knife he was holding.

Kaang!!!!
Whoa!!!!

A gust of wind blows the two of them away again.
Then, Tanjiro’s Japanese sword, which was in contact with Hajin’s bone knife, was swung, and Hajin flew through the air once again.

‘Fuck, when are you coming up?!’

What Ha-jin awaits now is her newly acquired traits, berserker and the power of a knight of the battlefield, obtained after killing Shibaru.
The maximum of two attributes that increase strength and speed by up to 95% and 70% depending on the duration of the battle.
Even though his strength and speed increase and he changes into Tanjiro, who seems to have used some characteristic, the fact that Hajin has not yet activated the transcendent physical characteristic… No, the reason I couldn’t do it was because I had experienced that a decision might not come out within the short duration of 10 minutes through the fight with Shibaru.
Therefore, it was only when I was convinced that it was the last moment to use my transcendent body.

“You are so cheeky. Are you still hiding your power against this body?”

Kaang!!!!

Tanjiro moves to the top of Ha-jin, which flies in an instant in the air, and strikes down a Japanese sword.
Of course, Tanjiro doesn’t directly know that Hajin is hiding something.
It’s just that he thinks that there must be a hidden power in Ha-jin’s appearance, which is not greatly shaken even in situations where he is overwhelmed.

Coo!!!
Patter-

“Cadet!!! It hurts so much..!!”

Ha-jin, who fell into the shopping mall by destroying her roof, complained of her pain by squeezing her back as if stretching her chest, and then quickly broke through the side wall and got out.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!!!

As soon as she pulled her body out, Ha-jin shook her head tremblingly as she watched the building collapse all over the roof, and started running to the wide roadside to pass her time until the power of the attribute rose to maximum.
She quickly grasped the situation in her head.

‘First of all, that bastard has one movement skill, one sword skill that cuts a knife from a distance, and one that raises his physical abilities. No, fuck… I have two active traits, but my physical ability is this much? How many stats did you get?! Anyway, what the heck is the remaining one?!’

If there was a trump card hidden like himself, it was urgent to check the remaining characteristics of Tanjiro as quickly as possible as Ha-jin, who could not catch the timing of the activation of the transcendent body.
An ironic situation in which time has to be dragged out and all of Tanjiro’s powers have to be pulled out.

“Then you just have to play around!”

Kwak!!!
Kwaaang!!!!

Clinging his right hand holding his bone knife and snapping down the trunk of a car on the road, Ha-jin started running, hiding behind him as he kicked towards Tanjiro, who was chasing him with his rear end squashed and his front end flashing.

‘Cut! Cut! When to cut… Now!!’

Wheeik!!

Realizing that Tanjiro’s Japanese sword was swinging at the sound that pierced his ears, Ha-jin immediately jumped on top of the car that was sliding vertically and threw the bone knife he was holding in his left hand downwards.

Awesome!!
Caang!!!

The Japanese sword in his right hand split a car, and the Japanese sword in his left hand deflected a bone knife.
Both hands have already been used.
Ha-jin, who had been shot at Tanjiro while spurring the car split in half, lowered his bone knife, and at that moment, Tanjiro’s figure disappeared.
However, even this was part of Hajin’s plan.

“Am I Hogu!!!”

This is the fourth time.
Knowing that Tanjiro’s traits occupy his blind spot, including his back, Hajin, anticipating that he will occupy the back with the best counterattack among several directions, turned the knife he had swung down and stabbed it behind his back.

Shiiyik!!!

“… Fuck this…”

A bone knife piercing the air and a sound coming from somewhere else.

Squeak-

Tanjiro was cutting the head off the back of one of the zombies on the road, not Hajin.
Because he, too, was well aware that he had overexploded his traits.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Hajin didn’t gain anything.

‘The distance is within about 10 meters. Go to the blind spot. Activation time is about 10 seconds. Hmm… It’s an open fraud, that!!’

The cooldown of the active attribute is 30 seconds.
He hadn’t personally confirmed anything, but Ha-jin thought that the cooldown of around 20 to 25 seconds was the limit if there was a short one.
Even Shibaru’s A-class talent, Storm, had a cooldown of 30 seconds.
However, with a cooldown of 10 seconds, the increase in speed was expected to be over 60%.
And Hajin’s guess was almost correct.

『Soonbo (A) – Designate a target within 10 meters and move to the desired location. Speed ​​+70%. Cooldown 10 seconds.』

Of course, 10 seconds can be said to be a very long time at the same level as Hajin and Tanjiro. It was a characteristic that had the effect of making the situation advantageous because it had the effect of creating.

Snap! Suwook-

Thanks to Tanjiro staring at himself, perhaps taking a breather, Hajin easily pulled out a bone knife stuck in a roadside tree.
However, Hajin still felt uneasy about something.
From the moment we arrived here.

‘I feel like I’m missing something… What the hell are you missing? Cadet! I don’t know! Let’s focus on that kid for now. If I’m not careful, my neck will fly off.’

Hajin brushes her hair and focuses on Tanjiro again.
And Tanjiro, who is under the gaze of Hajin, had a change of heart unlike the first time.
At first, anger at the bugs that ruined his plan to become a god, but now, a sense of pity for the strong that follows his movements to this level.

‘There must have been a good guy in Korea.’

But it was still not enough.
Because he was not an opponent who could draw out all his strength.
Tanjiro, who wanted to bring out Hajin’s hidden power a little more, started going back to the alley where he had first been.

“That bastard…! Hey!! There, you bastard!”

The reason why Ha-jin moved was to pass the time, but it was also to prevent an accident in which the other party got involved and lost her life.
However, in response to Tanjiro’s sudden move to return to the group, Ha-jin hurriedly pursued and attacked, but due to the two characteristics that had not yet reached their maximum, Ha-jin’s attack was able to slow Tanjiro’s steps. Couldn’t stop it.
However, a little unusual thing is that, contrary to Hajin’s idea, Tanjiro, who returned to her alley, did not touch Kim Hyun-jun and the others at all, but rather called one of her detached troops to his side.
And the detached team members who nodded at Tanjiro’s words turned to Hajin and shouted.
In Korean with a somewhat awkward accent.

“We have taken over Namsan, where you Koreans are hiding! The only way to protect your people is to fight Tanjiro and win! So do your best… “

Suwook!!

A member of the Byeoldong crew who was speechless for a moment.
No, the member of the detached team, who passed away without finishing his words, collapsed to the floor with blood pouring from his punctured head.
And Hajin’s voice that flows out.

“Ah… Fuck… That was it.”

The seven samurai under Tanjiro.
Since two of them, Shibaru and Genjo, were dead, there must have been five people of similar level of strength here.
But only three are visible.
The remaining two unseen, and fewer than heard.
That was exactly what Ha Jin felt.

“Strong Hajin!!”
“Hajin!!”
“Hajin-ah!!”
“Brother!!”

Because they returned to their original place, the rest of the party clearly heard the cry of the detached team member whose head was pierced by a bone knife thrown by Ha-jin.
People are dangerous
Kim Hyun-jun, who has a great sense of responsibility to protect people, Kwon Joo-hyuk, who has to protect his younger brother Ju-ha, and Kim Ji-hoon and Jackson, who have just begun to love each other.
And strong.

[The transcendent body (A) is manifested.]

Tadat!!

“You made a mistake.”
“This is it! This is what it feels like!!”

Tanjiro felt a shudder run through her body at the movement of Hajin who appeared in front of her.
Of course, the priority was to stop Ha-jin’s bone knife from falling rather than the thrill.

Wheeik!!! Caang!!!
Coo!!!!

Ha-jin’s bone knife and the Japanese sword raised above her head collided, causing the floor to dent and crack, centering on Tanjiro’s feet standing on the floor.

Awesome!!!

Tanjiro smiled lightly at the most powerful attack so far.
But it was still lacking.

“Is this all?! Try a little harder, Korean!!”
“Don’t twitch your snout.”

Ha-jin didn’t have the characteristics of being able to sprinkle sword energy or shunbo like Tanjiro.
Only enhanced physical abilities and pure combat abilities.
However, if you turn the words around, it is said that the fighting ability of Ha-jin who survived so far is that good.

That’s it!!!

A hand guard that protects the hand by sliding on the blade of a Japanese sword that touches it, and a bone knife of Ha Jin that touches the round protruding part of the upper part of the handle called a tsuba in Japanese.
And pressing it was like tying not only the knife, but also her hands and arms themselves.
In response to Hajin’s attack wielding a bone knife horizontally with each other’s right arms tied, Tanjiro also blocked it by pushing out the Japanese sword he was holding in his left hand to the side of his right side.
Ha Jin, who tied both of Tanjiro’s hands together with her own, stretched out his right foot, aiming for his ankle.

Swish!!

However, Tanjiro, who lightly lifted his left foot to avoid Ha-jin’s attack, straightened his knee toward Myung-chi, and at that moment, Ha-jin’s right foot, which had lost his target, soared upward.
Plexus and genitalia.
It’s true that both are vital points, but since they were vital points of different dimensions, Tanjiro frowned and stopped the soaring left leg, blocking Ha-jin’s shin with the sole of his foot and muttering.

“It is a low-level attack. This is your level… “
“Two!!”
“… “

Thick saliva spattered on Tanjiro’s face as he spoke.
It was also spit at the eyes, so Tanjiro’s eyes closed reflexively, and Tanjiro’s face was distorted as he closed his eyes at the two low-level attacks that were absolutely unacceptable for a samurai who spit at his genitals.
Of course, Ha-jin’s low-level attack also played a part, but rather than that, as soon as he spat, Ha-jin’s forehead hit Tanjiro’s nose.

Kwajik!!!

“Keugh..!”

With both hands free, Hajin’s bone knife swung toward Tanjiro, who hesitated and stepped back with his head bouncing.
Then, in order to get out of Sunbo this time, Tanjiro slightly turned his pupils to find the target, and Hajin’s left hand, noticing the subtle movement of the pupils, stretched out to the side in an instant.

Snap!!

Ha-jin’s hand grabbed the hem of Tanjiro’s clothes as he slipped out of the side.
It was so fast that it felt like it had disappeared, but it wasn’t that the body actually disappeared, so Ha-jin, who was holding onto Tanjiro’s clothes, moved along with Tanjiro over the head of the zombie that was chasing him from the side of the road.
And unlike before, even though Sunbo was used, Ha Jin was holding his back.
Seizing an advantageous position, Ha-jin pulled down his clothes and threw Tanjiro off balance, then stabbed the bone knife in his right hand into Tanjiro’s neck, ignoring the Japanese sword stabbed behind him. .
The neck and side, this time, Ha-jin’s attack is much more dangerous.
However, Tanjiro was not an easy opponent.

Pooh!!
Squeak-

A Japanese sword rising from below pierced Ha-jin’s forearm as he stabbed a bone knife and bounced upwards. The Japanese sword, which was stabbing toward her side, slashed Ha-jin’s stomach, staining her T-shirt with blood.
Of course, that didn’t mean Hajin was the only one suffering.

Woe!!!

As he pulled the hem of his clothes that he was still pulling down one more time as if he was punching down, Ha-jin’s left knee soared toward the back of Tanjiro’s head as he fell backwards.

Baek!!!

With a well-placed attack, Ha-jin hurriedly pulled out his right arm stuck in the Japanese sword, quickly took a step back and slammed his raised right arm down with all his might.

Shaaaaa!!!!

The bone knife was lowered toward Tanjiro, who was in an awkward posture, bounced off the back of the head without collapsing.
However, a bloody Japanese sword stuck between Tanjiro’s neck and Hajin’s bone knife.

Kaang!!!!
Aaaaang!!!!!

A roar echoed with the body being slammed onto the road.
Although Hajin could not decapitate Tanjiro due to the Japanese sword intervening in the middle, Tanjiro was located under someone’s feet for the first time in a world gone mad.

“Die.”
“Chick show..!”
