Returnee’s Life Report - Chapter 88

< Two Shooters (1) >

Lee Ho frowned.

His unique ability was easy to detect. The Godfather had a red aura, which meant that he was stronger than Lee Ho now.

That was his ability. However, what Lee Ho felt was not surprise.

He was furious.

Despite such power, he lived like that?

“To be honest, I never wanted to face you as an enemy. Your ability was very useful to me. Unfortunately, I have to kill you now.”

The Godfather sighed, but Ho ignored this.

All he knew was that the Godfather was his enemy, nothing more or less.

But then Lee Ho had to stop. The Godfather had escaped from his sight.

Lee Ho immediately guarded himself, but that did not block the attack completely. With a crashing sound, Ho was pushed back. And yet, he immediately stood up and rushed at the Godfather.

He noticed that his arm and side were hurting. He knew that the previous attack had broken his bones.

Lee Ho laughed.

“…You are laughing now?”

“It’s strange, but that’s how I feel.”

“Are you giving up?”

Giving up? That made him laugh once more.

“You’ve got it wrong.”

Lee Ho always thought of a way to defeat his enemy. He always did.

Even now, he was not giving up.

It was undeniable that the Godfather was strong. He could now use the red aura. Lee Ho could summon an SS-rated monster, but that was no use.

He tried to think of another way. Eventually, he found the answer.

“I’m still offering a place for you. Would you join?”

Those were the Godfather’s words. Ho didn’t answer; it was foolish to respond to bullshit.

He opened his inventory and took out his painting.

His face changed as if he were seeing someone similar. It was quite natural for him to do so.

“With my skill, I summon Emilia Mills.”

A light began glowing beside Ho. Soon, an imitation of Emilia formed. Soon, the system was ringing.

[ You were enhanced. ]

All of your stats increased by 30. ] You got ‘Great Heal.’ ] All of your injuries were healed. ] You got ‘Enhanced Haste.’ ] You got ‘Enhanced…’ ] You got ‘Enhanced…’ ]

Lee Ho was ready for the second round. The golden aura was flowing rapidly. Soon, Emilia disappeared.

“Emilia Mills. She was a great woman….”

The Godfather could not finish his words.

The hazardous blizzard was blowing toward him. It caused him to lose balance. The Godfather smiled.

Both of them swung their weapons.

They both stepped back.

Then, the Godfather’s sword started glowing red. It was a sword aura. Ho tried to dodge, but he couldn’t dodge it completely.

Yet, Lee Ho didn’t care about that.

He was ready to strike the Godfather’s heart. Yet, he couldn’t. The Godfather smiled, and Ho frowned.

He was wearing armor that could block the attack. It had to be SS-rated armor. He was armored tightly. Lee Ho was aware of that as well.

He was ready to make a consecutive attack, but the Godfather would not let that happen.

He struck at Ho’s head. Ho lost his balance.

Soon, the Godfather was ready to attack.

Lee Ho was not guarded. The Godfather, thinking that it was Ho who had exposed his weakness, smiled and was ready to become the winner. But that did not happen.

Lee Ho was manifesting his skill. The Godfather was astonished. The ability’s trigger was not like he’d thought.

Didn’t he have to bring out a painting to activate the skill?

Meanwhile, the Demon King punched the Godfather.

Ho used that as a chance to attack. He stabbed the Godfather’s belly. The Godfather groaned.

However, the Demon King had also been attacked. That caused damage to Ho.

Despite his injury, the Godfather was quick. He attacked Ho.

Lee Ho was pushed back.

“The condition for activating your unique skill is quite different from what I know….”

Ho did not stop attacking. He could not give time to the Godfather.

The fight was still going on.

***

Ho had brought forty-eight hunters from his guild. The Godfather had brought thirty-five of his people. The Godfather had never expected Lee Ho to plan this.

Also, the members Lee Ho had brought were elites only. They were all at least A-rated hunters who were about to become S-rated. Cheon-Myeong represented Korea. That was obvious.

So everyone, except one, was defeated.

Most of the Godfather’s hunters were dead. In contrast, no one from Cheon-Meyong was hurt. Jong-Geun was fighting with Alan.

On the other side, Lee Ho was fighting with the Godfather.

They knew that Ho would win the fight. They trusted him. He was the one who had stood in front and was now fighting to clear the gate.

Hyeon-Soo trusted Ho. He deserved that.

Soon, he noticed that someone was shooting a gun. Hyeon-Soo was hit. He realized that someone was shooting from a distance.

Hyeon-Soo activated his skill.

“[ Fire Wall ].”

This made a flame that would protect him and his allies. The bullets were blocked by the wall.

Alan had called someone else. He supposed they were the ones shooting. Hyeon-Soo sighed and observed them. They were from the US and France.

Hyeon-Soo noticed that some attacks were not being blocked and that some of them were S-rated.

“A-rated, stay back. S-rated will come front.”

Hyeon-Soo then took out a large shield.

It was an artifact named ‘Shield of Hercules.’

[ Skill is used. ]

“[ Aura Absorption ], [ Enhance Skill ].”

With that, the shield absorbed the flame wall. With “Enhance,” the protection was enlarged.

They didn’t have to worry about the bullets for now.

“There’s no need to spare the enemy. Kill every last one of them.”

There was no need to answer. Everyone was ready to obey.

The second round had started for them as well.

***

Jong-Geun had learned those skills five years ago.

To tell the truth, Jong-Geun was not a fighter. He was more like a scholar. He would have become a professor if the world had not changed.

Before the change, he was a tall, weak man.

That was the past. After using his unique skill, he stood at more than eight feet, and his muscles were impressive.

He swung. His claws ended up hurting Alan.

Alan was ready to use magic, but Jong-Geun proved to be much quicker.

With a punch, he broke Alan’s arm. Then he punched Alan’s chest.

Jong-Geun opened his mouth. It had transformed to be just like a lion. With his sharp teeth, he bit Alan.

“@#%#^#$%&$%! My arm!” Alan screamed.

Hong Jong-Geun looked down on him.

He wiped the blood from his mouth. His body was full of scratches.

According to Sophie, Hong Jong-Geun had less power than Alan. However, that didn’t determine who would win the fight. That wasn’t how the fight worked. It would be easy if everything were determined by a figure.

Hong Jong-Geun smiled.

He put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it.

Dear Alan.

“How was my lesson? I need feedback.”

Alan sighed. He’d never expected Jong-Geun to be that strong.

Like Ho, Jong-Geun hid his full power.

Alan stepped back. Jong-Geun was moving forward. The winner was obvious. He was ready to slice Alan’s head off.

But soon, his chest was hit by a bullet. ‘What the?’ Jong-Geun wondered as he stepped back.

It had come from a different direction. But how was that possible? It would have had to come from an impossible direction.

Then he thought of someone who could do that: Taylor Adams, a unique skill holder from the US.

As a SEAL supervisor, and thanks to his unique ability, he could snipe from a far distance.

Jong-Geun was certain that he was also the Godfather’s man. ‘Crap.’ Jong-Geun sighed and fell.

Alan sighed with relief.
