Chapter 177 – People Helping Hajin

When Minseo suddenly appeared in the air and kicked her in the face of Tanjiro, Hajin, who was staring blankly at the falling blade while kneeling down on her, turned even more dazed.
And a voice that sounds like it’s bewildered.

“Huh? Why are you out there?”
“What are you so stupid about?! Did you really want to die?!”
“No, it’s not really like that… She was about to die rather than about to die. You saved me.”
“Chi..! As you can see, I’m still fine! Then get up quickly!”
“Yes!”

At Minseo’s words, Hajin, who was kneeling on her knees, jumped up and landed on her two feet, Minseo hurriedly reached out her hand and caught her staggering and almost falling down along with her staggering body.

“Brother!! Hey, are you seriously hurt?!”
“… Are you curious about what I look like?”
“Heeing… That’s why you’re being beaten stupidly!!”

Minseo, upset at Hajin’s messed up appearance, shouted as if reprimanding her.
Even her face was covered in blood from long torn cheeks and minor wounds, and her whole body was full of wounds, but the most serious was a deep cross-shaped wound on her chest.

“I was so right… It’s right here, it’s right here… Even her knife cuts and stabs a lot… Her chest hurts too… Revenge me.”
“… Did you hurt your head? Why didn’t you complain?”

It was strange to see Ha-jin complaining about her, but Min-seo was a little relieved by that appearance.
Because her condition seemed to be no worse than her eyes.
Of course, the condition of her hajin was as bad as her eyes could see.

‘Fuck… Her head is numb from shedding so much blood..!’

Concerned that Minseo would lose her life by acting out of her own way out of concern for herself, Hajin, who pretended to be fine on purpose and complained about her, turned her face distorted in pain to the side of her so that Minseo couldn’t see her.
And what came into Hajin’s field of vision was the appearance of Tanjiro, who seemed to have received no damage from Minseo’s attack.

‘Does that bastard have five traits? Or did he go insane because one of his traits was something like bloody madness?!’

This was a very important issue for Ha Jin.
It was said that if the fifth quality really existed, then the sixth quality could also exist.
If Tanjiro became stronger here, even the smallest ray of hope in the hopeless situation would disappear.

“Brother, take a few attacks. I’ll take a chance and finish it. Can you do that much?”
“No, don’t do that. Just stop here and get out of here. It’s really dangerous.”
“I am worried about my brother. Because I have that much power now.”
“Hey… Hey! Kim Min-seo!!”

Swoop-

The two eyes of Ha-jin are clearly embarrassed by the sudden disappearance of Min-seo.
It was obvious that he had acquired a tremendous characteristic that was embarrassing, but even so, Hajin was uneasy.
Because she knew better than anyone that Minseo’s level was not enough to get into a fight like this just because she had a good trait.
However, Min-seo, who wants to stop her, has disappeared, and her Tan-ji-ro is running towards her.
Hajin had no choice.

Wheeik!!!
Swoop-Geugeuggeuk!!!!

Head-on confrontation is something that Ha-jin should avoid if possible, so she twisted her body to avoid the vertically falling Japanese sword, and she sent Tanjiro’s Japanese sword down with a bone knife that was tilted almost flat.
Then, without realizing it, Tanjiro’s fist flew towards Hajin’s right side.
Thinking of it, he wanted to step back or defend the attack with his free left hand, but Ha-jin, whose face was covered in blood due to the enormous amount of blood loss, could not take such an action, so he tightened his abdominal muscles and gnashed his teeth.

Poop!!
Awesome!!!

Ha-jin’s body folds sideways as her ribs are broken with fists thrust into her side.
Even though he was fully prepared for the attack, Tanjiro’s fist was too powerful for Hajin, who had relatively low defense compared to other abilities.
It was a powerful fist that could not help but shock not only Ha Jin, but even Jackson, who used the warrior of steel traits.
Still, because Hajin made Tanjiro use both his right and left hands, an opportunity came to Minseo, who had been hiding.

『Stealth (A) – completely assimilate with the surroundings and hide. When attacking, stealth is canceled and speed +40%』

Minseo obtained the attributes possessed by Hikari Kirishima, one of the two seven samurai who attacked the people hiding in Namsan.
In addition, the C-class trait Ambush, which increases speed by 15% and attacks the opponent’s blind spot, the B-class trait Sprint, which increases speed by 40%, and the C-class trait that evolved into a B-class trait after killing one of Hikari’s subordinates. Paralysis.

『Deadly Poison (B) – Injects strong poison into the wounded area and paralyzes it when the attack is successful. Cooldown 10 seconds.』

Looking at the characteristics alone, Minseo, who became a truly professional assassin, launched a surprise attack by grabbing the handle of a short dagger with a blade length of only about 20cm, not the usual 70cm or longer sword.

Shiiyik!!!

Minseo, who has a whopping 95% extra speed from sprinting, ambush, and stealth, appears from behind Tanjiro and thrusts a dagger into the defenseless back of his neck.
And since he also kicked her in the face, Minseo thought that this attack would be successful as well.
However, as soon as Tanjiro turned his head slightly and his blood-stained eyes confirmed Minseo’s appearance, Tanjiro’s body was positioned behind Minseo’s back, who was holding his back.

“Ah… “

With a short sigh that came out instinctively, Minseo’s widened eyes met Hajin’s eyes in front of her, feeling that she had been caught even though she couldn’t confirm that Tanjiro had moved behind her.
And at that moment, Tanjiro’s Japanese sword swung toward Minseo’s neck with flashing lights.

Awesome!!!!

A very neatly cut head fell to the floor.

“… “

Ha-jin, who raised the bone knife in his right hand without saying anything, and Min-seo, whose head fell to the floor, couldn’t even close their eyes.
No, there wasn’t even a moment to close.
Because Ha-jin, who was clutching at the collar, threw it back as it was.
Oh, by the way, it was the hair that fell on the floor, not the head.
Minseo’s long hair, which had been flowing, turned into straight short hair in an instant.

Caang!!!
Whoa!!!!

“Kyaaak!!!”

Is it because of her throat being almost cut, or because Ha-jin threw it, or because of the huge roar coming from right behind and a gust of wind blowing in all directions centering on Ha-jin and Tanjiro?
I don’t know why, but along with Minseo’s scream, two arrows aimed at Tanjiro’s temple and her neck flew.

Caang!!!

Tanjiro hit exactly two arrowheads at once, and Hajin took a step back and took Minseo to increase the distance between her and Tanjiro.

“Didn’t I tell you not to interfere?”
“Oh, brother… “
“But there is a harvest. If you see that he used his traits on you, it means he’s being very wary, so don’t attack and just show off that he’s around you and hide.”
“Ah… Yes…”

Min-seo’s heart beat like crazy, so surprised that she couldn’t thank Ha-jin for saving her by pulling her collar. Her startled heart began to calm down little by little at the sound of a small sound coming from far away.
Because it was so stupid

“… Do I really need to do this?”
“Of course.”
“Ha… Start…”

At the voice of No. 5 that flows out with a sigh, the elementary school commandos form formation, starting with No. 1 and coming forward one by one.

“Whoa.. If you ask who we are!”
“It is natural for me to answer you!”
“To protect His Majesty’s peace!”
“Love and truth, spreading darkness!”
“The licorice of elementary school students, the cutie villain…”
“I am number one!”
“No. 2!”
“No. 3!”
“No. 4!”
“No. 5 is all over the place…”

No. 5 couldn’t even raise his head properly, his face flushed red.
Among the elementary school commandos, No. 5, who is coming of age, lowered his head to hide his reddened face, perhaps embarrassed, but the rest of them raised their heads proudly.
And Hajin’s cry bursting out toward them.

“You guys don’t do anything stupid!! Don’t come any closer and stay calm there!”
“Uh? The captain is injured!!”
“The boss was fucking beaten!!”
“I feel a little relieved… No bro! Are you okay?!”
“Your Highness is fucking crazy! Majesty!! Please contact me!!”
“Your Majesty, I didn’t say anything.”
“… Thank you, Minseo.”
“What, what is..?”

Ha-jin felt even greater gratitude to Min-seo once again.
It would have been really unfair for her to have been killed by Tanjiro just a moment ago.

‘Before I die, I will definitely kill No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 with my own hands.’

Ha-jin spit out a joke mixed with seriousness in her mind, and immediately turned her head as soon as Tanjiro, who was at the edge of her field of vision, moved.

Bang!!!!

The car that had already been split in half by Tanjiro, kicked off with his right foot, sliding down the road toward the elementary school commando with furious momentum.

Deed deed deed!!!!
Cooooo!!!!!

After hurriedly avoiding their bodies, the elementary school special forces, who had been staring blankly at the half-cut car stuck in a broken building, turned their heads and looked at Tanjiro, who was staring at them with twinkling eyes. It started.

“He’s a fucking strong guy!!”
“Run!!”
“Hide for now!!”
“Majesty! I will be back soon!!”
“Your majesty! I will cover you!!”
“… Yes, you guys would rather help by being invisible.”

Ha-jin, who had nothing more to wish for from the elementary commando if it was the occasional No. 5 arrow, lowered her head at the small touch of her left hand tightly gripping the fingers of her left hand.

“Mister… It hurts a lot..?”
“It hurts a lot.”
“Hey… I will cure you!”
“Hajin, step back for a second. We will buy time And I’m sorry.”
“Brother, I’m sorry… I should have come to help right away, but I was scared… “

Ha-jin, who was looking at Jackson and Kim Ji-hoon, who had approached with Lee Da-sol, turned her head slightly to check the condition of Kim Hyun-joon in the back.
Kim Hyeon-joon is protected by Kwon Joo-hyeok, although both of his arms, which were cut off, are still attached, but it is difficult to move.

“Whoa… It’s going to be hard to bear. Let’s just ask for a little bit.”
“Don’t worry! No, don’t worry… I’ll come back somehow without getting my throat cut… “
“Jihoon, don’t say stupid things. Words become seeds.”
“… Where did you learn those words? Anyway, let’s just protect our necks, Jackson.”
“Of course.”

Jackson nodded in front of Ha-jin, and Kim Ji-hoon, standing next to him, let out a big sigh and ran towards Tanjiro, who was running towards him.
First of all, as Kim Ji-hoon said, if only his head was not cut off and his breath was still alive, he was anxious because he could recover from all injuries by Da-sol, but Ha-jin, who entrusted Tanjiro to the two, collapsed on the floor as he disappeared from his side, even Min-seo disappeared. .

“Dasol, I’ll buy you ten ice creams when you get back.”
“Wow! Promise!”
“Promise. If only I could go back… “
“Huh?”

Ha-jin, who looked at Da-sol with a tilt of his head, smiled softly at him and stroked his head, confirming the remaining time of his transcendent body.

[There are 2 minutes left for the duration of Transcendence (A).]

‘It’s going to turn, really..!’

At most, the time Hajin can receive treatment is one minute.
Of course, it may be impossible to defeat Tanjiro within one minute, but Ha-jin decided that it would be more difficult to defeat Tanjiro with his current body condition, where he was bleeding so much that his face would disappear. Decided to risk everything, he started receiving treatment from Lee Da-sol.
However, Hajin felt something a little strange.

“By the way, Dasol.”
“Yes, mister.”
“Are you not sleepy?”

Normally, Lee Da-sol, who had been treated for serious injuries like Kim Hyun-joon, had his eyelids almost closed.
Even so, Ha-jin, feeling suspicious at the sight of Sol looking up at him with her bright eyes blinking, Ha-jin grabbed her hand.

“Sharing information.”

『Name: Idasol (8)
Height: 119 cm The weight: 24 kg
Traits: Healing Power (A), Will to Never Give Up (B), Steel Stamina (B)
Coins: 0
[Strength Lv.1] [Agility Lv.1] [Stamina Lv.40] [Luck Lv.10]』

『Will not give up (B) – HP +25%, HP consumption reduction +25%, DEF +20%』
『Steel Stamina (B) – Stamina +40%』

There are no changes to the physical stats, but the first two characteristics.
Due to all of the characteristics related to physical strength, Lee Da-sol was still vigorous despite consuming a lot of physical strength while treating Kim Hyeon-jun.

“What the hell did you do to the kid..?”
“Huh?”
“Oh, no… Continue…”

A trait is something that can only be acquired by killing someone with the trait, except for level 10 luck and some monsters.
And the fact that those characteristics, and all of them acquired only the characteristics related to physical strength, means that Da-sol made him kill people.
Of course, as Ha-jin did, there are ways to keep her from recognizing that she killed people, but since she doesn’t know what method she used, only terrible images of Da-sol stabbing and killing people with a knife were drawn in Ha-jin’s mind.

‘Whoa… Well, as long as the child is fine. Anyway, I think it’s about time?’

Ha-jin, who should be able to fight at least for a full minute, once again checked the remaining time of his transcendent body, and tilted his head as he looked at the message window that popped up in front of him with his blank eyes.

[There are 2 minutes left for the duration of Transcendence (A).]

A duration of two minutes that still remains intact.
But what was really strange was this.

[The duration of Transcendence (A) remains for 3 minutes.]

“What’s this?”

Ha-jin, whose eyes widened at the message window that suddenly appeared below, looked at the message window alternately with Ida-sol holding her hand, and a moment later, a new message window popped up again and smiled with a tear in her mouth.

[The duration of Transcendence (A) remains for 4 minutes.]

“Quack… Isn’t that super fast charging?!”
“Ah, uncle, are you okay?”
“Then~ Of course it’s okay! Dasol, keep healing! Straight up! Just put all your energy into it!”
“… “

However, there were people who became more difficult as Ha-jin’s treatment time got longer.
Jackson and Kim Ji-hoon.

Awesome!!!

“Kuh..!!”
“Jackson!!”

Poop!!!
Deed deed deed!!!!

Jackson, who split his chest and kicked his face, slid to the place where Ha Jin and Da-Sol were, raising a cloud of dust. I put Idasol on top of my torn chest.

“Jackson… “
“Don’t worry, Dasol. Heal me first.”
“… “
“Hajin… I was hurt too… “
“Shut up. This is how you live and how I live too.”
“Bad kid… “

Jackson, who swears in Korean while squeezing his strength, and Ha-jin, who laughed with a reddened face because of the power of Da-Sol, who increased the duration by 1 minute every 30 seconds, filled the duration of exactly 7 minutes. Woke up
And the place where the body of Ha-jin, who disappeared with the wind at the moment, appeared above Kim Ji-hoon’s head, where Tanjiro’s Japanese sword pierced the ship.

“Replacement.”
“Quickly… Backcountry… “

Shahah!!!
Suwook-
Aaaaa!!!!

Although not completely recovered, the real last round of Hajin and Tanjiro, whose bodies were full of energy as if they were about to fly away, began.
