Chapter 300 – James Carter (2)

‘That’s not it… That… ‘

Kim Hyun-joon muttered in his heart without even taking his lips off.
Yes, the monster covered in pitch-black darkness was emitting so much energy that Kim Hyun-joon was overwhelmed by its power and could not even speak.
However, such embarrassment was short-lived, and Kim Hyun-jun, who quickly came to his senses, shouted while pulling the shoulder of the man who was standing blankly next to him.

“Wake! Pole!!!”
“My, James… James… “
“You stupid bastard..!!”

Paul is in a state of panic due to James disappearing without a trace.
The faith and trust in the character of James Carter was absolute to the point that even a strong man like Paul was embarrassed.
But now is not the time to flounder in needless shock.
We must run away from that terrible monster.
Even though there is no place to run and we have been chased here, we still have to run away from that monster.
Right now, Kim Hyeon-jun’s instinct was shouting like that, and even though the red jewel Ha-jin said was shining in the distance, he couldn’t even dare to go past the dark existence standing tall.
Because the basic stats are 100 and the SSS class death characteristics are 200.
It’s because the level of Hajin, who has a total of 300 stats as a basis, and those who don’t, are on a different level to the point where it’s embarrassing to even compare them.
However, there is another person who has the same SSS-level Shinigami characteristics as Ha Jin.

Swoop-

James Carter, who had been thought to have disappeared from the monster’s attack, emerged from the darkness.
And right above the monster’s head staring at Hajin and Paul.

Kwaaaaa!!!

James tightly clenched his fist, which had been stretched to the limit, and slammed his fist down at the top of the monster’s head.

Kwagagagagagang!!!!!

The ground was so black that it was impossible to distinguish between the darkness and the floor, and a large and deep hole was formed like a sinkhole. The monster, which had disappeared without a trace just like James a moment ago, punched James floating in the air behind his back. There was.

Swish-
Wooooo!!!!

James quickly twisted his body and raised his right arm, which had been lowered to the ground, to block the monster’s fist.
And he immediately threw out his left fist and even counterattacked…

Pooh!!!

“Kuh..!!”

With a groan of pain, a monster’s hand protruded from behind James’ back.
James literally got his stomach pierced.
Fortunately, it was not in the center of the abdomen, but in the middle of it, the body was slightly pulled out and the edge was pierced.
Well, from Kim Hyun-joon’s point of view, there doesn’t seem to be a big difference.

‘Do I need to help..?’

It is not the time to be thinking.
You need to run and help right now.
Even so, it was not a fight at a level that the current Kim Hyun-joon could not handle.
However, thinking that it would be a little helpful if it was not alone, but two, I turned his head to Paul…

‘… Why are you so calm…?’

Even though James was seriously injured, Paul was not as shaken as he thought.
Rather, they are just shining eyes full of faith.

“Aaaaa!!!!”

Kim Hyun-joon turned his head at the momentary sound of cheering, and James swung his right foot while holding the arm of the monster that had pierced his stomach.

Wooooo!!!!

Even though it is simply attacking and blocking an attack, it resonates loudly.
Of course, James’ attack was blocked by the raised left arm of the monster.
Then, confirming that the power of his right foot was completely dead, the monster stretched out his left hand as if it were being pierced obliquely.
Then, unable to retrieve it yet, the right foot on the shoulder of the monster and the left foot on the ground descended and ascended, wrapping around the monster’s left arm like a snake, and both hands firmly grasped the wrist as it was being plunged.

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

The body bends like a bow with a burst of energy once again.

Duduk!!!!

The monster’s left arm bent outward with a distinct bone sound.
Then James immediately let go of his wrists and propped himself on the floor with both hands as if standing on a handstand, straightening his legs folded in half before he knew it and kicking the monster’s jaw with both hands pushing up.

Kwajik!!!!!

A monster’s jaw being lifted.
And the moment James’ two feet, which were pointing upwards as he bounced off for the next attack, came down to the ground.

Wooow!!!!

The monster’s right foot stuck in James’ belly as he squatted.
It’s also on his left side, where there’s a hole in it.

“Keugh..!!!!”

Tuduk!! Took! Took! Took! Deed Deuk!!!!

James, who bounced on the floor like a water swallow and flew backwards, landed in front of Kim Hyun-jun and Paul as he slid across the floor.

“James!!”
“Run away..! I can’t win..!”

Can’t win.
James made the same judgment as Hajin.
But even so, James told Paul to run away, but he himself did not.
To give Paul and Kim Hyeon-jun time to escape?
No, he was just that kind of person.
A man who never gives up.

“What is that… “

Kim Hyun-joon’s voice jumped out of embarrassment at the moment.
Kim Hyeon-joon, who had gone through all of the prenatal battles, saw a surprising sight in front of his eyes.
The hole in the body of James, who was standing up and showing his back, was quickly filled and the serious injury was cured.
Of course, I cannot say that I have been completely cured yet.
Because it took more time to heal.
However, it was truly eye-popping astonishing that James, who was specialized in combat without any healing properties, recovered his body on his own.
Of course, there are people who have high resilience, such as Hajin and others.
However, it is impossible to show such a rapid recovery without healing properties.

“How is this… “
“James is not dead.”
“… “

Kim Hyeon-joon is looking at the back of James, who is still running wide-eyed at Paul’s confident words.
And James and the monster collide again.

‘Can’t I get involved in that fight..?’

Kim Hyun-joon, who is not even sure if it is a fight he can get into.
One thought in Kim Hyun-joon’s head.

‘If it was the head, you’d just look at it stupidly like me… ‘

Awesome!!!

Kim Hyun-joon, whose teeth were about to break even though his thoughts hadn’t finished yet, turned around with his black fur erect, no less than that of a monster engulfed in darkness.
Because there was a way to get into that fight right behind me.
As it was now and when Ha-jin was alone, the other monsters are not approaching within a certain distance.
And if you kill those monsters and gain new powers or make existing powers stronger, you can get into James’s fight with the monsters.
Of course, it’s just an assumption, but Hajin also thought that he would be able to come out alive by using Paul as bait, assuming that he would make all of his characteristics SSS or get stronger powers before Kim Hyun-joon arrives here.

“Paul, you wait here.”
“Kim Hyun-joon… What are you doing… “
“It will take a while.”
“Kim Hyun-joon!!”

Kim Hyeon-joon moves his steps.
His target is exactly 100 meters away from countless monsters who are just watching.
Of course, he ran away because he couldn’t handle it, but the resolution and situation were different now and then.
He was determined to become stronger, and he was able to endure injuries to a certain extent while checking the exit from the situation where he had to avoid injuries as much as possible because he did not know where he would end.
It was because I was convinced that I would be able to move to the red orb, the exit, even if I was seriously injured, as long as I didn’t get a fatal injury right away.

“Aaaaa!!!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
“Kieack!!!”
“Cooooo!!!!”

The monsters all at once rush towards Kim Hyeon-jun, who is jumping out.
And Paul, who crumpled his face at that sight, looked at James and Kim Hyun-jun alternately, and eventually started running to where Kim Hyun-jun was.
And on this day, the strongest were sent to this place by Ha Jin, and two days later, the strongest returned to Melbourne without even finding a torch.

***

“Hmm… Why did you come back? Hey, what did you guys do?”
“Ah, I didn’t do anything..?”
“… If you get caught, you will fall behind. I’m going to pluck the eyes right away.”
“I really am! I didn’t do anything!”
“What did we do wrong… “
“No matter how strong you are, if you try to solve everything by force like this… “
“If?”
“… “

When Ha-jin asked back what he hadn’t finished yet, one of the strongest people who was speaking kept his mouth shut.
I checked it in front of the casino, and I checked it again when I was brought here.

‘I can never win..! That’s the devil..!!’

No matter what they do, they cannot defeat Hajin on their own.
No, I can’t put even the smallest restrictions on his actions.
The strongest, who experienced it twice, had to slam their faces to the floor whenever Hajin, who slowly turned her head, met each other’s eyes.
Shivering at the humiliation experienced for the first time in my life.

‘James..!’
‘Pole! Be sure to bring James!’
‘Please..!!’
‘Only I believe in you!!’

To the strongest, James was a thorn in the eye.
Even so, he was a necessary and dependable person.
Of course, after James disappeared, they hoped that James would not return again, as their status had risen out of control and no other dangerous situation had occurred, but now, James’ presence was more desperate than ever.
At least James said he was strong, so he didn’t try to humiliate them in this way or do anything to them by force.

“Oh, brother… “
“Ah, sir! That one came again..!”

Ha-jin muttered in an almost cursed tone, turning her head at the appearance of Kim Hyo-jung.
He’s sure to ask what happened again, but it’s embarrassing because he didn’t have anything to say like he did until now.
Of course…

Ssik-

I had to greet him with a smile on my face for the baby in my belly.

“I’m here?”
“Uh, what happened…? What about my brother..?”
“If I knew that, I would have already told you…”
“Yes?”
“Haha~ No, I just didn’t say anything. But why are you here again? I want you to recuperate at home.”
“Brother, prenatal. Or take care of yourself.”
“That or that…”

Ha-jin muttered as if grumbling, took out the interpreter from her ear, and put it in front of Kim Hyo-jung after a few minutes with her mouth.

“Would you like to ask me directly?”
“No, I do not want… I want to hear from you…”
“Fuck, why me..!”
“Yes?”
“Haha… No. Because you didn’t say anything.”
“… “

Ha Jin, who turned her eyes away from Kim Hyo-jung, who was staring at her with an expression that looked like she was about to cry, opened her mouth to Min-seo, who was looking behind her.

‘Why did you bring it…!’
‘I’m going, but how can I stop you?!’
‘You should have dried it though! It should have been tied somewhere..!!’
‘Where do you tie it up?! Hyojeong is pregnant!’

Ha-jin and Min-seo can communicate even though they are just talking.
And Kim Hyo-jung, who was staring at the two of them alternately in the middle of her, asked her slightly tilting her head.

“What are you two doing..?”
“What are we?”
“I didn’t do anything, Hyojung~ hehe… “
“… Is it because of me..? I’m uncomfortable and annoying… Is that just like that..?”
“I know.”
“… “
“Brother!! No, Hyojung! Absolutely not!”
“Hey… “
“I apologize quickly..!”
“… Sorry. I’m out of words.”
“I hate you brother…”
“Can I just do it?”
“Brother..!!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kim Hyo-jung. I made a mistake. Baby, I’m sorry.”

After very politely apologizing to Kim Hyo-jung and the baby in her belly, Ha-jin looked at Min-seo with an expression asking if it was okay and turned her body away.
Towards the strongest who are standing awkwardly.

“Hey, do you want to go back?”
“… Yes, I want to live…”

Ha-jin, who had been fooling around with one of the strongest, looked around at the strongest, who were making faces saying, ‘That bastard is fucking again’ and said.

“Give me the coin I lent you. The interest is 50 percent per minute. It’s compounded, so you better pay it off quickly.”
“Wealth, 50 percent per minute..? Is that compound interest too..?”
“What nonsense is that?!”
“And lending?! Didn’t we say no!!”
“That’s right! You were forced to give it to me!”
“We have no obligation to pay back!”
“Even if you pay back, 50 percent per minute is ridiculous! If it’s half of the tens of thousands of coins…!”
“Under… Do you dare to take my coin, eat it, raise your stats, and kick it?”

Wooddeuk!!!

The strongest people, who felt chills running down their spines at the sound of bones coming from their clenched fists, secretly took a step backwards…

“Head. Eat the moving bastard from now on.”
“Kheel heh heh..!! Move! Move, humans!!!”
“Eh, why the hell are you doing this to us..!”
“You guys got into a fight first. Have I ever touched you before?”
“… “

Hajin was right.
In the first place, it started when the strongest people threatened Hajin due to the high-ranking people of the Allied Forces.
Well, it’s Hajin who blew the bread first, but…
Anyway, looking at the beginning, it was clear that the strongest people had started a one-sided fight first.

“Now, give me a choice. Whether I’ve been stuck here all my life, or pay my coin back. By the way, 1 minute has passed. You borrowed 24,000 coins, so now you have 36,000 coins? One more minute from here, 54,000… “
“Oh, Mr..! You can pay it back!!!”
“Damn it!!!”
“Shit!!!”

The strongest players started running to earn coins one by one.
Of course, among them there were those who shrewdly ran away without saying that they would pay back the coins…

“Kreur..!! Will you pay me back?! Will it work?!”
“Go, I’ll pay you back…”
“Sheesh… Too bad…”

Due to the staggering selection of heads, all of them had to leave after promising to repay all of them.
But at the same time, Amy’s voice echoed from Amy’s walkie-talkie, who was watching her with a sad face.

– Amy! It’s a rescue signal! I just got a distress call on my satellite phone!
“Rescue signal?”
– A rescue signal used by James’ team.

Amy and Ha-jin stared at each other at the sound coming from the radio, while Kim Hyo-jeong and Min-seo, who were not wearing a translator, tilted their heads and stared at Ha-jin.
