The Wise Cleaning Life Of A Returning Genius Hunter [EN]: Chapter 243

242

Kwang—!!

“Kugh…!”

As Han Yoobin slammed her fist into the ground, the asphalt shattered, and the ground beneath it visibly heaved.

Barely leaping into the air to create distance, I checked her condition once more.

Though, there wasn’t much to check, really.

Han Yoobin’s eyes had already completely lost focus.

[Unique Skill: High Panic Berserker – Status Release]

[Strength: 18,955 (9,107↑)]

[Mana: 1 (1,019↓)]

Kugugugugung—!

Even from a distance, I could feel the space trembling with her energy.

As I was contemplating how to stop her.

Paang—!

She charged at me with incredible speed.

“Shit…!”

[Acquired Skill: Destroyer]

Kwagwang—!!

An explosion erupted at close range just before her fist could reach me.

I barely managed to push her away, but…….

Han Yoobin flew far back and rolled several times on the ground, yet she seemed completely unharmed, immediately getting back to her feet.

No, it wasn’t that she was unharmed…….

‘She can’t feel it…….’

While I was quickly racking my brain on what to do…….

Taat—.

She charged straight at me again.

Kwang, Kwang, Kwang—!!

She began to unleash her fists with all her might.

‘What power……!’

The murderous intent in her punches tore through the air, creating sonic booms.

I was barely dodging the attacks, but even without being directly hit, the impact was immense.

In terms of pure strength, she was on par with Noah.

Such a monster losing her mind and unleashing her power without restraint… it was nothing short of a disaster.

But the bigger problem was Han Yoobin herself.

Berserker class doesn’t rely on skills as much as other classes. They are specialized in close combat with enhanced physical abilities, possessing extreme combat power to fight monsters barehanded.

As much as it momentarily draws out tremendous power, it inevitably puts a great strain on the user’s body.

Therefore, all Berserker class never go all out.

And that was the same with Han Yoobin.

But now that she had lost control due to the Void [a new type of drug that drastically enhances abilities], her body would be completely destroyed before long.

So, I had to calm her down as quickly as possible…….

[Unique Skill: High Panic Berserker – Thirst]

[Releases the limiter on the caster’s physical abilities.]

“Kkeueueueueue…!”

At that moment, her body began to heat up, accompanied by a painful groan.

At the same time, the surrounding space began to distort along with her red aura.

Kwang—!

“……!”

The moment she kicked off the ground and charged, a terrifyingly fast attack poured down with a deafening roar.

Peok, Peobeobeobeobeok—!

“Keuek…!”

I moved my body, pushing my speed to the limit, but I couldn’t just keep dodging.

The moment I got grazed even once, I couldn’t guarantee what would happen to me.

I quickly reached out my hand towards her.

[Unique Skill: Demon King – Tyrant]

[Creates a disposable skill based on the caster’s thoughts.]

[Skill creation in progress.]

[Skill creation complete.]

[Black Curtain]

Kwok—!

A black aura enveloped her, strongly restraining her.

Only then was I barely able to hold her in place.

Taking advantage of the gap, I quickly approached to calm her down.

“Please, get a grip…!”

“Kuaaaaaaak!!”

Tududududuk—!

At that moment, the black aura that had been enveloping her was torn to shreds, accompanied by an ear-splitting shriek.

“This is, insane……”

She broke through my skill?

With pure strength alone?

“Just what kind of human is she……”

Even I couldn’t hide my bewilderment at the sight.

Her current appearance was far from human.

A monster.

A monster born only to kill and be killed, that itself.

“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”

“…….”

“…….”

I opened my mouth slightly towards the members of the Mexican cartel, Uno Empire, who were sitting on the floor, trembling.

But they didn’t seem to have the mental capacity to answer, having a monster in front of them.

That was the same with the information team as well.

“C, CEO…!”

“It’s too much for you alone!”

“I, I’ll help you.”

They offered their help with trembling voices, but I shook my head.

“It’s okay. Don’t step in.”

What help could they offer while trembling like that?

I took a deep breath and took off my coat.

Staring straight at the monster in front of me, I continued.

“I didn’t expect to be fighting you…….”

Her eyes were filled with madness and murderous intent.

I absolutely couldn’t underestimate her.

If I dealt with her carelessly, not only I, but others would be in danger as well.

Ranked 1st in the world among Berserker class.

The youngest operations team leader in the American branch of the International Association.

A monster that no one could beat in pure combat power.

Han Yoobin.

To stop that monster…….

“In this case, let’s see what you’ve got.”

[Unique Skill: Demon King – Awakening]

I had to go all out as well.

***

“Crazy……”

Team Leader Hong Doosik, who had finished retrieving the items and arrived back at the transaction site following Han Yoobin, was momentarily stunned by the situation that unfolded in an instant.

Void.

A new type of drug that drastically enhances abilities in a short period of time while inducing hallucinations and an awakened state.

The head of the planning department had been injected with that drug.

And it just so happened to be a Berserker class.

‘I heard she’s a crazy bitch who broke a superior’s legs in the American branch…….’

Team Leader Hong silently watched Han Yoobin, who had lost her mind and continued to rush at CEO Kim.

A monster crazy about fighting and a demon at the top of all existence.

In Team Leader Hong’s eyes, the two looked exactly like that.

That was dangerous.

If he rashly intervened between them, his head might be the first to fly off.

That had already surpassed the level he could handle, including the information team.

Then what he could do now was…….

“Kang Jaesuk!”

“Yes, yes!”

Team Leader Hong raised his voice towards the team leaders who were frozen in place.

“Contact the police right now and control the surrounding area!”

“W, what’s the radius!”

“10km… no, 30km. No, just control the entire island! Evacuate all the citizens!”

“Y, yes!”

“Understood!”

“Move quickly! If you get caught up in that, you’re all dead!”

At his command, the frozen team leaders barely began to move.

Team Leader Hong then approached Jose, the chief of cartel production, who was sitting on the ground, trembling.

“Hey, you bastard!”

“Ugh…!”

He immediately grabbed his collar and shouted.

“The antidote! You have the antidote, right?! If you don’t want to see everyone die, hand it over now!”

“A, antidote…….”

He barely regained his senses, having lost focus for a moment, and replied.

“I’m struggling to meet the contract dates, where would I have time to make something like that…….”

“Don’t bullshit me!! Do you think I’ve only met drug addicts once or twice?! Don’t lie and hand it over right now…!”

The moment Team Leader Hong was shouting at the top of his lungs.

Kwang—!!!

A deafening roar and an intense shock that made the hair on his head stand on end occurred simultaneously.

Black and red auras mixed together at the spot where the two men simultaneously turned their heads.

A demon and a monster.

The two were pouring out their power with the intent to kill each other.

“…….”

Only after seeing that scene did Jose take out his phone and immediately call someone.

“B, boss… I think we need an antidote right now, is there any left at headquarters?”

「What, why?」

The boss of Uno Empire, who had no idea of the situation, asked back, and Jose hurriedly replied.

“T, there’s a problem during the transaction… A Berserker from Karma Corporation got injected with the drug, and if this goes wrong, it could be a big problem.”

「……! Who’s stopping her right now?」

“The CEO of Karma Corporation is dealing with her directly!”

「The CEO of Karma… Kim Junwoo?」

“Yes, yes!”

「…….」

“T, the situation is more serious than I thought. I think you should send it as soon as possible…….”

「No.」

At that moment, the boss cut off Jose’s words and answered immediately.

「Retreat and leave it alone.」

“Yes…?”

An incomprehensible order was given.

「It’ll take half a day to get there. It’s going to be too late anyway.」

“B, but…!”

「And…… it seems like a good opportunity for us instead.」

Then, a meaningful laugh was heard from beyond the phone.

「A hunter injected with Void, even overwhelming the CEO of Karma.」

“…….”

「What better marketing could there be for us?」

At those words, Jose swallowed hard.

「The more intense the fight, the more attention it gets, the higher the demand rises. They’re giving us free publicity, there’s no reason to stop it.」

“…Understood.”

「Well, take care of your own life.」

The boss left those words and hung up first.

Then, Team Leader Hong immediately urged him.

“Did you contact them? How long will it take! Can you bring it quickly?!”

“…….”

But instead of answering, Jose quietly looked around for a moment.

Taat—.

He shook off Team Leader Hong’s hand and hurriedly began to run away.

“W, what! Don’t stand there! Hey, you bastard!!”

Team Leader Hong cursed at his back as he quickly disappeared, but he quickly disappeared from sight.

“This is fucked up…!”

Team Leader Hong gritted his teeth.

If he ran away like that, what were they supposed to do with those two?

This wasn’t a fight to win or lose.

If someone died here, it would be too fatal for Karma Corporation, no matter who it was.

If CEO Kim died, drug addicts around the world would line up to buy Void, and if Han Yoobin died…….

‘The company will be over…….’

A CEO who killed his subordinate.

He would have to take all the responsibility while being covered in infamy.

If that happened, the International Association and the Secretary-General would be irreversible.

Of course, it had nothing to do with him being in jail…….

‘……Why do I keep thinking about the old days.’

His wife lost her life because of the greed of hunters who forgot their duty and were blinded by money.

But no media directly criticized them or demanded responsibility.

In fact, it wasn’t very common to criticize hunters at the time.

Hunters who jumped into dungeons for the sake of citizens were truly in the realm of the untouchable.

As evidence, weren’t all the guys who forgot their duty and drove citizens to their deaths ended up with lenient punishments?

But if Kim Junwoo had been there at that time.

If Kim Junwoo had been in charge back then as he was now…….

Would such guys have appeared?

‘…….’

Team Leader Hong pursed his lips tightly.

He had to become the Secretary-General no matter what.

Only then would those who were harmed by the heinous strong men wearing the mask of heroes disappear.

So, no one should get hurt here right now.

Of course.

‘That’s easier said than done…….’

Team Leader Hong shook his head and muttered at the sight before him.

The fight between a monster and a demon.

There was no way they could suppress each other while moderately controlling their power.

Of course, he had heard that CEO Kim was a skilled person, but that would only be within common sense.

Against that monster who was rampaging out of control, absolutely…….
