What is the most important thing when hunting? The answer to this question is clear. The fatal point, the factor that can certainly lead the prey to death, is the most important.

Isn't it common knowledge that a person who doesn't know how to kill their prey, cannot hunt properly? It is even truer if the prey is not just an animal, but a monster, not just an ordinary beast.

'I need to find it.'

Monsters have everything beyond the natural. Their body's defense, physical strength, life force, and physique are all over the common-sense level, and thus the imagination is easily trampled. One can't be sure of death if one breaks its head and makes it bleed. Hunters hunting monsters, therefore, must keep in mind the most important thing about hunting.

'I need to find its heart.'

Hunters must keep in mind that every monster's weak point is its heart. When they think about something other than this, the thinking is meaningless, and the hunting that they perform after they worry about this is an unconditional failure.

Kim Tae-hoon knew it better than anyone else. So, when he looked at Freezer, and when he saw the blue eyes embedded in the translucent body made of ice, he knew that finding its heart was his top priority.

Then, how could he find its heart?

'I can't see it.'

He couldn't immediately find its heart with the Eyes of the Black Snake. He could not see anything inside its translucent body that he was sure was its heart.

'If so, when I take to the next step, I have to make its heart move in some way. I must make it angry, scared, or in pain.'

That's what Kim was doing now. Tututututu! Kim, who ran between the building and the building, between one roof and the next as easily crossing stepping stones, bombarded Freezer with the Vulcan as it was following him.

The shots were accurate. His shooting ability and the Eyes of the Black Snake made the Vulcan in his hands as accurate as the sniper rifle. It was perfect shooting.

Ping, ping! The shells of the Vulcan began to pock Freezer's body. However, that was all. Though deeply embedded, the 20mm scary shells failed to penetrate in. It was a result that did not fit the power of the Vulcan, which could punch through. Even the scars caused by the Vulcan did not last long.

Patter! The icy body was fragmented and fell to the ground, and the wound that had opened so quickly recovered by itself.

Kim's mouth twisted as he looked at the scene through the eyes of Hahoetal.

'I didn't think it would be hurt with the Vulcan, but…'

The power of the Vulcan is overwhelming. It is not because it seems reasonable to have a Vulcan cannon, which weighs more than 100 kilograms, on an expensive fighter jet which is struggling to reduce its weight every little bit.

Of course, Kim did not think he could kill a blue-grade monster with only a Vulcan.

'It is too strong.' Still, the sight Kim saw now was quite shocking to him. What was even more shocking was that at this moment, Freezer, who was running between the buildings after him, has never used its fear, the most obvious weapon it had.

'I can't even get it to use its fear.'

Fear is the most obvious weapon of the monster. It is a powerful weapon, especially against humans. The blue-grade monster's fear has a terrible effect on those who have Energy levels below A rank. Of course, monsters use fear without hesitation when they feel threatened, or when things are difficult.

All the monsters Kim had encountered so far were the same. Most of all, monsters had learning skills, and there was no possibility that Freezer would not know that fear was more powerful than any other ability. So, he wore the mask, Hahoetal.

'There isn't much time.'

The effect of Andong Hahoetal was to significantly increase the level of ability by giving the wearer a [Possession by a Spirit] effect. Of course, Kim was in a situation where he was possessed by a spirit. It was evident on the back of his right hand, not anywhere else.

[Basic Abilities]

- Muscle: 911

- Health: 902

[Special Abilities]

- Energy: A- Rank

- Mana: A- Rank

- Telekinesis: A+ Rank

- Defense: A- Rank

- Mana Resistance: A- Rank

Kim's ability to receive the [Possession by a Spirit] was overwhelming enough. He could clearly feel the ability that had increased so drastically. Infinite power was exploding inside his body.

At the same time, it was also clear that this power would not last long. When a sports car over 500 horsepower ran in a circuit, it was similar to watching the fuel needle fall.

'9 minutes 33 seconds.'

According to his calculation, the duration of [Possession by a Spirit] was 9 minutes 33 seconds. After that, he would be a normal person who has lost all his ability. In other words, he needed to accomplish what he wanted within that time.

Even one-second longer was the same as getting into a desperately dangerous moment. In such a situation, it was very bad that he could not even pull out the Freezer's fear.

'I must throw away what I can't do.'

Kim no longer had a fuss about the M61. Being absorbed by the fact that he could use this terrible Vulcan with his bare hands, he did not force himself to do what he could not. Accordingly, he abandoned the Vulcan.

Bang! The Vulcan, thrown from a six-story building, fell to the ground and clanged loudly

Chewreung! He pulled his Swords from their sheath. It was the sound of the Sword of the Imperator and the Sword of Hwandoodaedo, the two Swords that Kim was carrying on his back. The two swords began to fly.

Clank! The target was Freezer, and the goal was to leave as many wounds as possible in the shortest time on the Freezer's body.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa! The goal was making long, deep wounds. The two Swords performed these orders well.

Keureureu! They earned nothing but the first growl from Freezer's mouth. At the same time, the Freezer gave up its pursuit of Kim and focused on the two Swords that circled around it. Freezer avoided the Swords, while on the other hand, it tried to strike the Swords by moving its legs, tail, and wings. However, the two Swords moved in dazzling patterns, making the Freezer's work useless.

"Hoo!" At that moment, Kim gave out a long sigh. With that sigh, he brought his hand to the two Horse Figure Type Earthenwares that he had hung at his waist like decorations, one for a master and a servant.

Kim injected Mana at the same time into the two Earthenwares, which were originally a pair. He threw them at the Freezer.

The two Horse Figure Type Earthenwares flying in the air began to inflate surprisingly quickly, and by the time they reached the edge of the Freezer, they revealed their enormous splendor, a size that was not lacking compared to the ten-meter-long Freezer.

Whinny! At the same time, their attack began. The first attack was at their owner's command.

Whinny! As the horse ran at the Freezer at full speed, the master threw his sword at the Freezer.

Bang! The sword, which had flown so hard, buried half of itself into the back of the Freezer.

Keu-aang! Freezer's eyes flickered. What came into the eyes of the Freezer as it turned its eyes was the master's horse, with a spear coming out of its chest.

Kwajik! The spear that coming out of the horse's chest drove into the Freezer's body. At the same time, the horse began to crumble in the process of breaking the body of the Freezer. In the meantime, the master warrior stepped on his own horse as a stepping stone climbed into the body of the Freezer. The warrior hit the tip of the hilt of his sword on the back of the freezer with his fist.

Kwajik! First was the right hand, second was left hand, and then right hand again.

Bang, bang! The hilt gradually descended deeper and deeper with the repeated blows of the warrior, hammering it in.

Kwajik! In the end, the body of the Freezer was split in half. But it was not the result of the warrior's sword. Rather, it was by the opposite, done by the Freezer's will. The evidence was that the cloven body of the Freezer transformed into different animals; an ice lion in front, and an ice tiger in the back.

Keu-wang! Keureureu! The two separate Freezers surrounded the master back and forth, and immediately bit and clawed at it. The warrior's right shoulder and left leg were bitten, and in front of the claws, a lump of clay-like flesh was crushed. The warrior, having lost his arms and legs, fell to the ground.

Ding-dong, ding-dong! At that time, the servant who had been looking at the master's work until now shook the bell in his hand.

Ding-dong, ding-dong! The miracle that the bells produced was giving arms and legs to the warrior who lost his arms and legs. Even a sword was made as a bonus on the restored arm. The warrior, who had instantly regained his form, swung his sword at the ice tiger in his vicinity.

Kwaang! The ice tiger grabbed the sword into its mouth and bit down. In the meantime, the ice lion threw itself at the servant, who was shaking the bell over and over on the road below the building, jumping from the high building to the ground.

Ppoo-woo-woo! At that moment, an elephant with golden smoke hit the ice lion falling to the ground in midair.

Bang! Smoke and ice, the two things made a strange sound. It was a moment when the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, the amazing relic, once again exerted its power.

Doo-woo-woong! The Bell sounded for them. It was a sound of destruction toward the Freezer, a sound of cheering for the beasts of golden smoke and the Horse Figure Type Earthenware.

The bodies of the Freezer began to move slowly at the bell sound, while the beasts of the golden smoke, the master and the servant, were courageous and began to press the two-part Freezers.

In the end, the Freezer had to use its fear-making roar.

Kkeo-eo-eo-eong! The fear, bursting simultaneously from the mouths of two Freezers, shook the whole city of Daegu at once. Its power was formidable.

The golden beasts created by the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje were shaken and faded like haze, and the clay fragments of the master and servant began to pour down like rain. Kwa-aang!

But it didn't stop the two Swords. Kim, with his black Eyes shining behind Hahoetal from a long distance, did not show any shaking.

After the Possession by a Spirit, the Energy that ranked-up exploded as soon as it was exposed to the fear of the Freezer. It began to squeeze all its power to protect its master from threats.

Even with the fear, the threat did not disappear. Keureureu! Freezer no longer kept its face, its dignity. The Freezers, the icy tiger and the icy lion, began to turn into hedgehogs as thorns rose from their bodies.

The thorns of the Freezers swept all over the place with their self-destruction. Concrete walls and asphalts crumpled like tofu, pudding, and flew for several kilometers, even destroying a small shopping mall at once. It was a formidable power.

What was even eerier was the figures of the Horse Figure Type Earthenwares and the golden smoke beasts penetrated by the ice thorns. Rather than recovering the wounds after being penetrated by the thorns, they began to freeze white.

The Horse Figure Type Earthenware became white ice statues with holes in them, and the golden smoke beasts created by the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje began to fade away with holes in them.

Ice Blaster was the most powerful power of Freezer. Of course, the ability demanded a price. In exchange for exploding its body, Freezer revealed the heart it had been hiding and covering. The transparent heart was the size of an adult man, and the blue jewel in the transparent heart was glistening under the sun's direct sunlight for a long time.

'I found it.' Kim did not miss the light. He did not miss what he had to do.

'It's the beginning.' It was now the beginning, and Kim, thinking this, quickly left his seat. While he ran, the heart of the Freezer created its body anew.

Keueoeo! This time its body was an ice Ogre with a height of five meters. The Ogre, the Freezer, created an ice club and began to swing it around.

It was an expression of indiscriminate rage.

A truck engine roared as it approached the Freezer. Kim was in the luggage compartment of the truck, which had no driver present, the steering wheel moving freely. There were lumps of iron bound together behind it.

The long, elongated mass that seemed to be a rugby ball was a GBU-31 bomb, which was built to be mounted on the F-15K and had a 900-kilogram explosive. One of the bombs was lifted by the Telekinesis of Kim. It was like when he had hurled a small car with his Telekinesis to punch the Sword of the Imperator into the chest of the Gamecock.

But it was definitely different then. At this moment, there was no Sword of the Imperator in the body of the Freezer.

'Two minutes left.' And the Sword didn't have to be stuck.

"Hoo!" The GBU-31 missile, coming into the air with a short effort of the Telekinesis, began flying toward the Freezer's heart.

Jang Sung-hoon was looking at Daedongyeojido. At that moment, the blue light in Daegu City faded. It was a situation that deserved to be enjoyed. It was evidence that Kim succeeded in killing a second blue-grade monster. However, Jang did not rejoice. Instead of expressing his joy, he turned his head and looked at the Golden Glass next to Daedongyeojido.

Looking at the Golden Glass filled with red liquid, he clenched his teeth tightly...
