Did Park Juntae also notice that there were no passers-by?

You punk, my motto is to live an honest life, he said, leading the conversation in a relaxed manner. Since I showed interest in the proposal, fortunately, my life has become somewhat easier. However, it doesnt mean the situation has improved.

Anyway, you must have a mind to change jobs, right? Hey, you really thought well! If you come to our side, you can enjoy your work, and moreover, the kids are all well-behaved.

The neat-looking man speaks with a wide smile.

Well, lets discuss the details in my hideout. Theres still a lot were curious about each other, right?

However, even if I pretend to join the organization to avoid an immediate crisis, what about the next step? It is common knowledge that even a 5-year-old child shouldnt follow strangers. Moving to a different location might lead to more complicated issues for no reason.

With F-Class magic power, I cant escape on my own if I get trapped somewhere!

I was sure. There was a certain conviction that I had no choice but to run away from this guy right now. So, I momentarily stopped talking and fell into deep thought.

Whats wrong? You didnt change your mind, right?

By the way, I broke those security cameras over there on my way here. Just so you know.

First of all, he is currently enjoying a lot of leisure time. There is no need to rush in front of an opponent who can be defeated at any time if he puts his mind to it. 𝐟𝗿ee𝘄𝗲𝗯𝐧o𝘃el.𝐜o𝚖

But I guess you were really F-Class, huh? I didnt know until we met, but seeing it in person, your awakening level

It was self-assured confidence. Just like this, that person must have confirmed Kim Kiryeos terrible magic power state in this place. Park Juntae smiled at me and then took something out of his pocket, throwing it on the ground.

A lump of shadow?

I briefly looked, and it seems like its probably a magical tool used for fast movement.

Hey, you actually dont plan on coming over to us, do you?

However, about 3 seconds later, as I continued to keep my mouth shut, he seemed to gradually sense it. He suddenly asked a question.

Its not like that.

What do you mean by its not like that? Its obvious just by looking.

He takes a step forward.

This side took a step back accordingly.

Im really sorry, but theres no one in our organization who can use brainwashing skills.

So?

If you keep acting like this, there is only one way.

Now, lets calm down.

Right now, there are no people on this pathway, but this is a park. If I expanded the searching range a bit, I was able to find quite a few passers-by.

Also, I always carry a magic booster in my pocket. Right now, I was secretly using it while he wasnt looking.

Although its much slower than taking it through my mouth.

Clutching my fist with utmost strength, I cut my palm using my fingernails. The potion was then applied to the exposed blood vessels, giving only a temporary solution.

Are you trying to kill me?

It cant be helped.

As expected, this isnt something I can handle alone. I need to ask for help. I need to call Ahn Yoonseung or the police.

Ha, of course.

Moreover, looking at this mess, someone outside might report it.

Rather than seeing you stick to my competitor hmm?

Whoosh.

From somewhere far away, the sound of countless trees being shaken softly echoes. And just as the sound, resembling a heavy downpour, reaches the ears,

What is this?

Park Juntae reflexively raised his head to check the direction of the noise. I didnt bother with such an action. I already knew what was happening.

-Krrrrk krrrk

-Kakk kakk!-Gurrr.

Chirp chirp!

This is the best I can do right now. In short, I cast a spell and collected all the dead bodies of intact birds from the mountain behind me.

Bird?

It caused a massive noise disturbance to divert the attention of both people in the park and people on the planet.

Chirp chirp chirp!

Kaaaak! Kaaaak!

Ugh!

A black cloud composed of a gathering of dead birds flies.Magpies, rock pigeons, crowsbirds of all kinds gathered without discrimination, screaming with their torn vocal cords as they circled around me and Park Juntae.

What are you doing!

There are so many. When all their wings came together, a gust of wind blew.

As expected, this b*stard wasnt an appraiser after all

But, in reality, this is the end. While it may look flashy, its attack power is zero, you know? Controlled by F-Class magic power, even if I hit his body with these crows, it wont be able to make a single scratch on its opponent.

Keugh.

As expected, my mana ran out in just a few seconds.

Tuk. Then dozens of birds stopped moving and fell helplessly to the ground.

As expected, such a large number was overwhelming

But that was enough. While the other person was distracted by the bird, I picked up my cell phone and succeeded in dialing 112.

Anyway, with my physical abilities, Ill be caught quickly even if I try to run away. Now that things are like this, even if I die, I have to report that b*stard. The bracelets protective barrier should buy me a few more seconds!

With a heart filled with evil, I took a deep breath. Originally, I had intended to voice my frustration towards the microphone on my phone.

Wait! Stop!

However, before I could raise the cell phone in my hand to my face, a shout erupted from the other side.

Save me!

Huh

Im not sure why hes saying what I was trying to say.

A, ahaha. We, t-through conversation, lets have a conversation.

Suddenly, Park Juntae lowered his posture. His face was turning pale.

***

Park Juntae.

Or Pyo Nagil.

From name to appearance, the man, who had nothing truthful about him, ended up expressing true fear without even realizing it.

It was unbelievable.

-Kaaaaak! Kaaaak!

At first, he wondered what these birds were. Of course, he thought he could easily handle this amount with his skillsnot just cutting, but with a few other skills he possessed.

Chirp

Kurrrk

His guess was spectacularly wrong. Because Kim Kiryeo didnt invite them to show off his ability to manipulate birds.

A few seconds later, the noise disappeared. The birds, which had been chirping lively, suddenly lost their voices and fell in unison.

Tak, tak.

Watching the rain of corpses falling from the sky, he felt a chilling sensation, as if his mind were freezing. It was a power that killed living beings without any warning or even the need to touch them.

As far as he knew, there was only one skill in the world that could do this.

Curse Hunter

Although it is a rare series with only a handful of manifestations, it is not surprising that there are about two Curse Hunters in Korea.The problem lay elsewhere.

The bird died instantly.

Park Juntae briefly recalled the recent collection of curse skill information for the purpose of assassinating Esther.

Curse is a typical status-abnormality skill. In fact, fighting with just this was quite difficult. Usually, curses alone couldnt take someones life. At most, they could make movements sluggish or induce brief mental confusion

The primal survival instinct of animals is indeed a powerful defense mechanism. However, being able to bypass this and kill a creature solely with curses was possible for only one person on Earth.

I cant believe it.

Seo Esther. A mass death caused by curses was something only an S-Class hunter like her could do.

But what does this scene unfolding now mean?

This punk, whats on earth

Park Juntae, who was in confusion, looked away without hesitation. Then an eerie scenery came into view.

Ugh!

Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.

He is looking at him without any change in his emotions. Why didnt he notice it sooner? Despite being only an F-Class subject, he showed no reaction to the ongoing threats and murders. Not a single blink.

No way, could there be an item that lowers your awakening level like this? Was he disguised?

After that, there was no time to think. Park Juntae closed his eyes tightly and shouted.

Save me!

The mass death of birds is a warning shot. The man is currently showcasing his power, gauging the reaction from his side.

If I make a mistake here, I will be cursed!

Park Juntae pretended to surrender on the outside, but gritted his teeth on the inside. Why did he go to such lengths to acquire [Night Walker]? Curse was a skill famous for its particularly long range.

In other words, it was the worst matchup for his abilities. Originally, he had planned to overcome this difference with stealth skills. If he could quietly close the distance and make a surprise attack, the rest would be resolved with overwhelming firepower.

Tsk

Even that doesnt work for that blonde hunter.

Save you?

The eyes that recognize an invisible man.

The ability to kill living things with will alone.

Rather, isnt this a more difficult opponent than Esther?

Ah, hello. Im contacting you to report something.

Kiryeo quietly looked at the surrendering man and lifted the cell phone he was holding in his hand.

Here at Citizen Park.

In a situation like this, carrying on a phone conversation so calmlyis he in his right mind?

An Awakening incident just occurred, so please come quickly.

Park Juntae thought his opponent was letting down his guard. So he tried to close the distance, but as soon as he twitched his leg muscles, Kiryeo covered his chin and the cell phone microphone with his palm.

Dont move.

Kim Kiryeos attitude changed. He lowered his voice and used an overbearing tone to restrain Park Juntae. At this point, even he must have realized that the other party was starting to misunderstand something.

If you do something stupid, Ill make you like the birds out there.

Kim Kiryeo threw a threatening remark as if asking when Park Juntae got scared. It was a very brazen face. However, Park Juntae had no choice but to fall for this acting.

Ah, I, I understand.

The man named Kim Kiryeo appeared quite cold and imposing objectively. Of course, its rare to overestimate someone just because their gaze is a bit intimidating. However, considering the peculiar behaviors often exhibited due to the fact that the other person is an alien, things can get strangely twisted.

Im sorry for stopping suddenly. Detective, how long can you come?

Just like right now, Kim Kiryeo could often provoke unexpected fears.

Yes, I understand.

He is a dangerous guy. Park Juntae thought so as he looked at the man holding the cell phone in his hand.

Even though he belongs to the higher-ranked awakener and is blatantly staring at him, the fact that hes calmly having a conversation like this could it mean that he doesnt even consider him an enemy?

Damn it!

He failed to figure out his weight class. At least thats what Park Juntae thinks. Regardless of being a notorious villain who has committed all kinds of serious crimes, his own life is too precious to be wasted. In the end, taking advantage of a moment when Kim Gireyos guard was down as he glanced around, Park Juntae seized the opportunity and escaped.

Huh?

It was an action that could be clearly detected, but it couldnt be prevented.

Oh my! I forgot about that.

Since the opponent had placed a magic tool on the ground earlier, he escaped using it. The man, enveloped in a black shadow, instantly concealed his presence. Kim Kiryeo let out a sigh of relief, as it seemed he managed to get through it, at least for the time being.

Its here, right?

Wow, what is this? Are they all corpses?

Phew, its pitiful~

A little later, perhaps due to the commotion that had just occurred, citizens of the park began to gather here one by one. Kim Kiryeo, who had been quietly observing the situation, soon noticed the familiar uniforms in the crowd. The police had arrived.

Hmm?

But for some reason, someone who is included stands out
