Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 16

6. Never Twice (2)

In fact, I had felt suspicious before.

If monsters live on the island you are going on a boat, it is normal to feel a lot of presence. However, only six signs were detected.

You might think that only a few monsters live, but even so, six is ​​too few. I was puzzled by that, so I asked Jin-sang Choi in passing words, and the reaction was suspicious.

So I came here thinking there must be something, but unexpectedly Seo Joong-hyun appeared.

In addition to Seo Joong-hyun, there were four other middle-aged men in their 40s leaning obliquely on the tree next to them, and four other seniors in their thirties standing as if escorting them.

Cha Shin Hyeon was unknown, but these were Lee Young-hoon and his men, whom Seo Kang-jin trusted most.

All of them are mid-level hunters of level 30 or higher, and if you count Seo Jung-hyun, there are six talented people who can wipe out the chronic guild with just one.

“Why are you here?”

Cha Shin Hyeon asked with a frown.

“Why, do you think you’ve even come camping? Everyone is here to meet you.”

Seo Joong-hyun laughed.

“I don’t think you understand the intent of the question. What I’m asking is how your guy knew and waited for the dungeon I was going to go to.”

“Do you know what kind of great person this little guy can be? What’s the big deal to find out?”

“It’s not that great, so there’s no way there was any wiretapping. It wasn’t that I was talking about the fact that I was hired. Let’s say it’s a place for information to leak…”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s head swung to the back.

All of a sudden, I saw guild members with atmospheric chronicity taking a step back.

When our eyes met, guild leader Choi Jin-sang shrugged.

“I’m sorry, Cha Shin Hyeon. That’s me.”

Contrary to the words, there was no sign of regret at all. Just by looking at his attitude, he knew right away whether he did it because he didn’t like it, or if he did it because he liked it.

“Yeah, I guess it’s only you.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned and muttered.

As long as the Pia is identified, there is no need to say respectful words, so it is very convenient. With that thought in mind, Cha Shin Hyeon continued.

“But you said it first? How did you know about what happened between this guy and me?”

“That’s because I was intentionally approaching you from the beginning under his command.”

To be precise, Seo Kang-jin instructed Lee Young-hoon and Lee Young-hoon called Choi Jin-sang again, but it was not wrong because Seo Jung-hyun was the one who asked Seo Kang-jin.

Hearing Choi Jin-sang’s words, Cha Shin Hyeon burst into laughter.“Was the guild itself a fake?”

“No, the atmospheric chronic guild is actually registered. It’s just that I’m not very active. Would you say it’s a low-level hunter’s lure?”

The victim had no way of knowing. Even if he finds out that the hunter who went to the dungeon is dead, he thinks he died while catching monsters, not because he was lured into a trap.

“I sat down to run everything.”

Cha Shin Hyeon clicked his tongue.

If it’s a guild to lure low-level people, the level of its members should be low. It was a job that had to be done with a lot of effort, whether it was intentionally not hunting and holding up, or people who had risen to a higher level graduated (?) and continuously received new members with a lower level.

Those who intentionally maintain such an organization cannot be good people. Perhaps some novice hunters have come and gone without knowing it before.

Looking back at Seo Joong-hyun, Cha Shin Hyeon said.

“If it’s not that I misunderstood, I think they dug a trap to catch one. I never imagined that there was such a thing as a fake guild.”

“Are you starting to get a little scared now?”

“No, I think your back is bigger than I thought. At first glance, it sounds like your father is a high-ranking officer of the Dawning? At the very least, it seems like you made things up like this because your guy is whining, but I don’t know if I should call this great or stupid.”

At Cha Shin Hyeon’s sarcastic sarcasm, Seo Joong-hyun’s face turned red.

He stood up and clenched his fingers.

“Even to this point, I have only lived my mouth. Let’s see if those words come out even if we are beaten to death.”

“Do you believe in the weights on either side of you?”

“Wow, you’re not pretending. Haven’t you had a sense of level since you just became a hunter? For a 7th level theme, the form is dirty. It’s enough for me to be you George, you bastard!”

Seo Joong-hyun groaned.

Cha Shin Hyeon laughed.

“Weren’t you the one who ran to your parents because you were afraid of that 7th level? Okay, let’s see how great it is. It was a pity that it ended so easily back then.”

If you think about it a little more calmly, you could see that ‘at that time’ refers to the time when Seo Joong-hyun was injured, and was an acknowledgment that the culprit was Cha Shin Hyeon herself.

Lee Young-hoon, who was watching the actual situation, realized the meaning of Cha Shin Hyeon’s words a bit late and was startled.

However, Seo Joong-hyun, who was already very excited, did not reach that point. Before Lee Young-hoon could even dry it, he was making strides forward.

“I’ll break you down from the thrush!”

He had no intention of using the skill.

The difference between level 30 and level 7 is bigger than the gap between a 30-year-old fighter and a 7-year-old kid. Even if it was covered and beaten, it was a dog thing to use a skill on an opponent who would win.

Boo!

A ferocious attack that broke a tree trunk with a bare fist flew towards Cha Shin Hyeon’s face.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was quietly watching the scene, raised her left hand at the last moment.

tuk.

As if chasing a fly, a rough hand gesture collided with Seo Joong-hyun’s fist. The trajectory of his fist shifted so easily.

“uh?”

When the attack missed in vain, Seo Joong-hyun made a bewildered expression.

And for a moment, he got even hotter and flew his fists one after another. As if in boxing, both hands alternately aim at Cha Shin Hyeon.

puck! puck! puck!

But only the sound was noisy. It wasn’t the sound of an excited clenching, but the sound of the back of Cha Shin Hyeon’s hand or palm waving like annoyance and clashing with Seo Joong-hyun’s fist. There were no valid hits.

“It’s exactly what I thought it was.”

Cha Shin Hyeon snorted.

Although there is a difference between my sister and this guy, whether they specialize in long-distance or close-range, they can be regarded as the same lineage in a broad framework. Because both of them were fighting series.

Cha Eun-seol is level 31, Seo Joong-hyun is level 30. Although the distribution method is different, the investment in strength, durability, and agility is the same. The sum of the three stats that are helpful in hand-to-hand combat is the sound of two gangs.

However, Cha Shin Hyeon had already had a brief encounter with Cha Eun-seol.

‘Compared to Eunseol…’

Seo Joong-hyun was obviously stronger than Cha Eun-seol, probably because he mostly invested in his strength. Instead, as if he was less concerned about his agility, his movements were a little slow.

In short, there was no significant difference overall.

Of course, Seo Joong-hyun was superior to Cha Eun-seol in melee combat skills as he was a fighter class with a bare-handed fighter. He had the ‘Fighting Arts’ skill, so it was natural for him.

However, from Cha Shin Hyeon’s point of view, it’s a comeback anyway. In order to listen to his eyes, who had seen many masters in Moorim, Seo Jung-hyun’s modest skills were not too young.

“Hey, this guy!”

Seo Joong-hyun, who began to feel that something was strange, made a bewildered voice.

It’s the first time, but from the middle onwards, like when fighting a monster, you really threw your fists, but you couldn’t hit it even once? Isn’t it like an adult accepting a child’s pranks?

“How about using a skill?”

One corner of Cha Shin Hyeon’s lips went up. It was a laugh.

“I don’t think that would change the situation.”

“Damn you bastard…!”

Seo Joong-hyun’s eyes flipped. Hearing ridicule from a man who deserves to crawl under his feet, his reason flew away in an instant.

An intangible energy condensed in his right hand, taking a step back. It was a fighter’s level 5 class skill, ‘Chaeam’.

A skill that consumes MP to inflict a huge shockwave at the point of impact. As the name suggests, it was a one-hit fatal skill that could crush even a rock the size of a house.

‘Just like back then.’On the first day I met Seo Joong-hyun, I got the slap I got in the process of shaking hands. It was similar to the energy she felt then. It’s definitely not aerodynamics, but an unknown energy that can only be felt very faintly. Aura that is presumed to be MP.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s response was the same as back then.

It was not necessary to accurately interpret the unknown energy to face it.

For the first time, Cha Shin Hyeon clenched his fist.

He lightly stretched his left fist toward Seo Joong-hyun’s right fist as he flew in. Kwon and Kwon collided at the midpoint.

Boom!

The fists collided, and there was a roar that sounded like a car accident.

There was a big difference, just one side was a motorcycle and the other was a dump truck. Needless to say, which of the two is a motorcycle and which is a truck.

“Aww!”

Seo Joong-hyun, whose fists were ragged, screamed.

One impact shattered his hand and twisted his arm. It wasn’t enough to make a lump under his right shoulder, so his extra impact energy blew away Seo Joong-hyun’s body several meters.

The shock wave of Chae-am, which was supposed to destroy his opponent, was easily offset in vain. The only achievement was that the sleeves of Cha Shin Hyeon’s battle suit were slightly wrinkled. It was made to roll just enough to be used as work clothes, so it didn’t show.

“You crazy!”

While everyone in the hall was bewildered, Lee Young-hoon, who had been feeling a subtle ominous feeling, was the first to come to his senses and run to Seo Joong-hyun’s side.

“Choi Jin-sang! Come out!”

“Yes, old!”

Among the subordinates Lee Young-hoon brought, there was no Cleric. There was only one Wizard, so he could do something similar to healing, but technically, it was closer to revitalizing the body. It’s not about directly fixing a broken body. With modern medicine, it is possible to have surgery and speed up the recovery time.

Jinsang Choi was the only one who had Cleric’s ‘regeneration’ skill, which reverts to what it was before he was injured. He’s not even a Jintung Clerk, and he’s only level 11, so he couldn’t see a dramatic effect, but it was a hundred times better than leaving him alone.

Cha Shin Hyeon just watched them as they moved around bustlingly.

It was like watching children’s jokes.

After confirming that Seo Joong-hyeon was given first aid, Lee Young-hoon turned to Cha Shin Hyeon.

He sharpened his teeth.

“What the hell are you… … What is your identity?”

“If you do what you say, it would be a 7-level poor hunter.”

“Don’t bullshit! Is this level 7? Is there any skill to disguise the contents of the status window?”

“It’s a novel idea. Well, if you’re curious, there’s nothing I can’t tell you… … . Unfortunately, there is no reason to put such an effort into it.”

A cold smile appeared on Cha Shin Hyeon’s lips.

“They’re all going to die anyway, so what am I talking about?”
