Chapter 144 Overclocking (3)
Most fiends were stronger than Players Players would frown and protest if they heard this, but it was the truth While Players only learned how to hunt monsters, fiends learned how to hunt both uards down as soon as they left a Gate, fiends would constantly be on edge because their identity could be discovered at any moment In other words, fiends took their skills to the next level There was a great difference between a monster hunter and a professional killer
“Considering the target’s current path, he’ll definitely pass through here”
“Then, it’s there,” Goufup at the small cabin There were traps around the perimeter that would alert of a ed to a hunter
The fiends scanned the area and started to speak
“Seo Jun-Ho has shown a tendency to play hero”
“It’s a mistake that all overconfident rookies make”
“If he sees an injured person, he won’t be able to just pass them by”
They had plenty of time to collect information about Seo Jun-Ho in the last e of that” Gouf jutted his chin “Nino, shi+so Hide yourselves and get ready to aht…”
“We’ll attack hiet ready to join in”
The twins left, and all that remained were Gouf and one other fiend The latter’s face was filled with intense emotions, but they disappeared as quickly as they came
“Get in place,” Gouf ordered him
“Yes, sir”
As theup to the cabin with cold eyes It was unheard of for a fiend to get revenge for their dead superior, but that was how ner hadin a Gate and granted hi him a fiend
‘Seo Jun-Ho…’
The Player was only the beginning, not his final target His final target would be none other than the Sword Saint, Ki Compared to hiner-nied that luck was also a skill But today was different He was sure of it “But today, no amount of luck will save you”
Seo Jun-Ho laughed It had been a while since he had let loose like this He felt refreshed after stretching his stiff muscles
“I know I lost 50 of otten any weaker In fact, he felt like he had gotten stronger, thanks to Overclocking “Heh, it’s only natural that I’d want to try out a nice weapon”
“And you have already done that, several ti like a child” The Frost Queen jutted her chin and pointed to the pile of dead olves “You should test it out properly, not on weaklings like these Hm… Perhaps fiends will do”
“Fiends? How cute” Seo Jun-Ho grinned “No e There’s no way I’d run into them in a place like this”
“Contractor, humans are unpredictable” The Frost Queen see in the cabin over there”
“No way” Seo Jun-Ho looked at the cabin It was placed near the entrance of the forest “See those wires on the trees? They’re basic traps to alert you of s to a hunter,” he said confidently, calling upon the things that Hakan had taught him
He started to walk toward it, for no other reason than the fact that the path passed through the cabin
“Hm?”
“Huh?”
Seo Jun-Ho’s nose twitched The Frost Queen gripped his hair
“Contractor,” she said in a low voice

“I smell it too”
The smell of blood
As he approached the cabin, he saw the corpse of a ht cut ran across his chest, and the blood was still hot and flowing
‘A murder?’
There were no CCTVs in Frontier’s field, which meant that these kinds of cases would reht away
Seo Jun-Ho stepped closer to the body and studied the wound “He’s dead They killed him in one strike” The cut was clean, and there had been no hesitation Whoever had done this was skilled “Frost, sweep the area”
“Leave it to me”
He turned back toward the corpse and activated Confession of the Dead
“” There was no need to look deep into the past Seo Jun-Ho’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked back to half an hour ago when the nized the killer
“”
“C-Contractor, I’m sorry, I…” As she watched the playback over his shoulder, her face turned even paler than usual She al it earlier
“It’s not your fault”
The victim was just an ordinary hunter The man who had killed him was a fiend Seo Jun-Ho had seen in the ht over to hi
‘There are two possibilities’
Either the killer waslike a fiend and killed the hunter because he felt like it And the second…
“This is a trap,” he whispered As soon as the words left his lips, his te with him
Seo Jun-Ho re toward him He looked up
“Huff, huff…” It was a handso man His face was covered in sweat as if he had run the whole way, and his shoulders heaved as he tried to catch his breath “Did you do this?” His face twisted, eyes filled with rage “I’ you a question! Did you do this to him?!”
“”
Seo Jun-Ho didn’t reply He held up his hands as he slowly stood up The man expected him to explain, but he didn’t
Swoosh!+
Black Dragon Fang pierced through his heart
“Huh?”
“Why are you asking o Are you crazy?”
