Five minutes before Choi Yu Seong broke the Barrier.

Kim Do Jin, whose body was covered with wounds while continuing the battle against Ghost, suddenly thought.

‘Choi Yu Seong.. Did he run away?’

When Choi Yu Seong suddenly started running somewhere while he continued the fight, he thought there would be a plan.

Kim Do Jin’s Skill, Sixth Sense, which maximizes intuition said so. So, there was nothing to doubt.

But he doesn’t come back after quite a long time.

‘I was wondering what he was up to.’

The frowning Kim Do Jin pointed his sword to the ground and stopped in place.

A short silence flowed then a voice that seemed to resonate from somewhere was heard.

“Have you finally given up?”

“It wasn’t that you couldn’t speak. Is it a Voice Amplification Skill?

Kim Do Jin smiled strangely as he heard a voice spreading out of nowhere.

It is a Skill that is not used often because it is not very useful for ordinary Hunters, but it is different for Ghost, whose main ability is stealth.

Considering that it is also an ability to select Skills that suit one’s aptitude, Ghost was definitely a fairly skilled Hunter.

“I just thought there was no need to say it out loud. Because my mission is to convince you. I just waited for you to get tired first.”

“Convince?”

“Godfather of the Organization wants you. Kim Do Jin. Come with us.”

“Organization, huh. So, it must be quite big.”

“I can’t tell you the details.. But, it can be said that it is possible to overthrow a small country like this.”

At Ghost’s words, Kim Do Jin’s eyes lit up with a faint light.

‘It’s at the level that can overturn Korea?’

It’s just so so because surrounding countries are so powerful geographically, but Korea is one of the Top Ten Awakener powers when viewed globally.

Many predicted that Korea would be in the top five in the next few years as there are a lot of talented Hunters and cream of the crop rookies.

From the viewpoint of Kim Do Jin, who is directly among the rookies, of course, he thought Korea would soon become the best.

Anyway, Korea has a formidable power right now.

However, one organization just quite lightly spat out about overthrowing such a country.

‘It means that there are a lot of people who are fighting with me right now.’

Kim Do Jin, who had guessed the size of the organization with a few words of conversation, had a fishy sneer on his lips.

There was no particular reason.

He just got a little angry all of a sudden.

‘If I hadn’t lost my strength when returning, I wouldn’t have had to worry about these trivial things.’

And this painstakingly planned revenge would have been much easier.

However, of all things, most of the power he had was scattered in the process of crossing the dimension from the Aliod Continent.

The extremely trained body returned to the normal body while he was on Earth and the gentle yet heavy accumulated mana disappeared without leaving a single trace.

The emptiness and frustration when he first realized that were indescribable, but he felt at ease thinking that was the price for returning afterward.

He was also excited to think that he could be stronger when he gained new abilities following awakening.

However, he couldn’t help but get annoyed when a time like this came.

“Kim Do Jin, I knew your skills well. It’s definitely incredible. I know I won’t be your match in about a year. That’s why Godfather himself nominated you. But, just give up. You can never get out of here.”

“Why do you decide that?”

“It wasn’t decided by me. I’m just saying the obvious outcome.”

Ghost felt both admiration and astonishment in the fight with a severe difference in Rank as well as Level against Kim Do Jin, who was only at the beginning of the C-Rank.

A sense of crisis that he might lose to Kim Do Jin.

He had never felt this way toward a Hunter with a lower Rank than himself since he gained dark mana from joining Demon King Worshipper that allowed him to maintain invisibility almost indefinitely.

But still, it couldn’t be like that.

‘The moment that monster comes out, Kim Do Jin dies.’

Ghost trembled without realizing it when he recalled Slaughterer Queen Rachel, who was like a demon with a beautiful appearance and distinct crazy personality.

Perhaps Kim Do Jin could grow into existence no less than her.

But that’s the story when he survived.

“I’ll say it again. Come to our organization. With that alone, you can have an entirely different level of power than you do now.”

“A different level of power?”

“..”

Ghost closed his mouth tightly.

If he led the story further, he would give too much information.

He was not such an idiot that he couldn’t even think of that.

“There are very few ways to strengthen power other than Rank-Up and Level-Up.. I see. You guys were Demon King Worshipers.”

The problem was that Kim Do Jin was a person excellent enough to see through the situation with that brief clue.

Ghost was startled but did not give any answer.

There was no reason to show agitation here.

“I understand. Demon King Worshiper, not bad. It would be easy to regain strength there. Good. I’ll accept the offer. But, there is something I also want.”

Tilting his head at the vague word of regaining strength, Ghost opened his mouth.

“What do you want? Money, beauty, authority, we have a lot of things. Maybe you can achieve most of what you want.”

Ghost was confident.

Whatever desires Kim Do Jin has, the organization called Demon King Worshiper can satisfy them all.

Mission accomplished.

A smile crept to his lips without realizing it.

However, Kim Do Jin’s following words were really unexpected.

“I’m the leader”

“..What?”

“I mean, when I enter the organization, all Demon King worshipers must follow this body.”

Ghost’s brain stopped for a moment.

‘What nonsense did I just hear?’

He had never heard of such a proposal while convincing numerous Hunters.

“Oh, for your information, the Demon King must also be under this body’s feet. So, the name of the organization should be changed.”

A dejected laugh escaped from the red-faced Ghost’s mouth.

“Hoho, hohoho.”

He felt a bit more understood now.

“How dare you play with me? The sin of insulting the Godfather and the Demon King can only be repaid by death.”

Anger soared to the top of his head.

Now Ghost erased the command from his head.

‘This kind of guy is only harmful to the Godfather.’

He will be somewhat reprimanded, but he decided not to mind.

First of all, he would beat him until neither die nor live and make him beg for his wrongdoings under his feet.

After that, he will decapitate the weeping Kim Do Jin with a snort and throw him away.

Otherwise, his anger would not go away.

“I’m not kidding. I’m serious though.”

Kim Do Jin tilted his head.

Instead of answering, Ghost approached Kim Do Jin’s side and swung his toes.

Kim Do Jin, who avoided it by tilting his neck, laughed.

“It seems you’re not very pleased with my proposal.”

“From now on, I will do my best to kill you. Don’t expect me to give you some slack as before.”

Ghost followed Kim Do Jin and kicked him frantically.

Subsequently, he aimed for Kim Do Jin’s neck or heart using a throwing?tanto, which he had never taken out for some contingency in his hand.

Ghost’s Specialization Skill, Invisibility, is to make everything that directly touches his body invisible.

Therefore, the thrown dagger was bound to be exposed, but the direction of the attack became much more diverse instead.

Kim Do Jin will not be able to hold out for a long time as his attacks will be several times more colorful than before.

In fact, Kim Do Jin’s wounds increased rapidly.

Nevertheless, fatal injuries are still avoided.

The movement did not become any faster.

Rather it felt like he was gradually adapting to Ghost’s attacks even though he was slowing down a bit.

And in the meantime, the occasional counterattacks are still sharp.

Barely escaping a crisis that almost cut his front by stepping back, Ghost clenched his teeth.

“This guy..!”

“Who gave slack to whom? You’re very mistaken.”

Kim Do Jin snorted while listening to that voice.

Then, he raised the sword and cut his left wrist long.

At the sight of a handful of blood gushing out, Ghost felt puzzled.

‘Self-harm?’

He doesn’t seem like a person who does something like that, so why?

The question was for a moment.

“What are you doing. Coward. Don’t have the courage to fight now?”

At the ensuing provocation of Kim Do Jin, Ghost rushed forward in anger.

With a cool smile, Kim Do Jin received the following Ghost’s attacks with his bare body in his place.

Kim Do Jin, who did not flinch at all even in the burning sensation that extends from the upper left chest to the shoulder blade, swung his left arm wide.

‘Blood? No way..’

Ghost came to his senses as he saw the blood splattered all over the place in front of him.

“If I do this, I can see it clearly.”

Kim Do Jin speaks coolly.

The blood he sprayed was all over Ghost’s face and over the clothes he was wearing.

As mentioned, Ghost’s Invisibility makes everything that directly touches his body invisible.

But what if the blood is splattered over the already invisible clothes?

Got tricked.

‘It’s okay. Just take off the clothes!’

Unfortunately, Kim Do Jin had no intention of waiting anymore.

Toward the bewildered Ghost, Kim Do Jin now swung the sword accurately.

Ghost twisted his body to take his foot off his shoulder, but this time he couldn’t completely avoid Kim Do Jin’s sword attack.

“Keaargh-!”

The screaming Ghost realized that the sensation on one of his legs below the waist had completely disappeared.

“My, my leg, my leg! Aaargh!”

Flair-type users are bound to have poor physical protection abilities.

In the case of Ghost, who slaughtered the weak through Invisibility, it was even worse.

Kim Do Jin pulled the heavily stuck dagger in his shoulder and slowly walked toward the screaming Ghost.

He still maintained Invisibility, but his bloody hem clearly exposed his position.

The option of taking off clothes has already been erased from his mind.

Death is coming.

That fact made Ghost’s mind go blank.

“Do, don’t come! Don’t come here!”

Ghost, who retreated slowly using his butt, shouted with full desire to just live.

Kim Do Jin ignored him and slowly approached with the face of the Death God and raised his sword.

He then said with an indifferent look.

“I’ll make sure you know this one thing. It wasn’t you who gave me slack, but I just waited because I was curious about what Choi Yu Seong would do.”

Is he saying that the pride issue is important in this situation?

“Un, understood. Admit. I admit it. I lost and you wo..!”

Ghost nodded like crazy and said with desperate eyes, but his figure was not seen by Kim Do Jin.

And even if it was seen, the results would not have been different.

The sword swung in a beautiful trajectory in the empty space. The head of Ghost, who had been praying with both hands together and eyes wide open, fell to the floor.
