Chapter 264

Ho Sung Lee couldn’t turn down the offer.

“Sure.”

When Ho Sung Lee accepted, the man with the silver hair took out a thin sword from his belt, not his item window.

In terms of appearance and style, he was the type to really bother him.

‘What about his abilities?’

Ho Sung Lee gripped onto his sword and focused on his opponent with nervousness.

Was he going to make the first attack or let him strike first?

Ho Sung Lee picked the latter.

He decided that rather than attacking first and letting his guard down, it was best to understand his opponent’s style and looking for a way in first.

When Ho Sung Lee made it clear that he wasn’t going to make the first move, the man with the silver hair grinned and beautifully swung his long sword toward Ho Sung Lee.

In the blink of an eye, 5 strikes of the sword energy charged toward him.

Ho Sung Lee widened his eyes and used his shadow skill.

Ho Sung Lee, who was immediately absorbed into the ground, snuck behind the man with the silver hair.

He then popped out of his shadow and lowered his sword upon the back of the man with the silver hair.

The man with the silver hair quickly turned around and held up his sword.

The impact of Ho Sung Lee’s sword and that of the man with the silver hair caused sparks to fly, and a close-range battle followed.

Ho Sung Lee and the man with the silver hair continued a close battle where neither one struck the other.

During the battle, Ho Sung Lee thought, ‘This is not that hard.’

He did act arrogant in front of Min Sung Kang, but he actually wasn’t so sure.

He was worried he would die after acting rashly, but that wasn’t the case.

The man with the silver hair was nothing but the head of a troop of Krok.

As soon as he realized he could do it, his confidence translated into his swordsmanship.

That was when Ho Sung Lee’s sword began to outperform that of the man with the silver hair.

The more they fought, the more he felt like the force of his Aura was stronger than that of the man with the silver hair.

As the battle went on, the man with the silver hair began to show a stiff look on his face.

Ho Sung Lee was certain that as long as he stayed focus, he could win.

He decided to win in a calm and objective manner.

Right as Ho Sung Lee thought this way.

The man with the silver hair quickly stepped back to create a distance between them.

When Ho Sung Lee saw this, he launched his sword energy.

Swoosh!

The powerful Aura ripped through the air and charged at full speed.

The man with the silver hair clenched down on his teeth and attempted to dodge it, but the sword energy slashed through his shoulder.

Crack!

His shoulder region cracked and blood sprayed out into the air.

But it was just a small wound, and it wasn’t enough to slow down the man with the silver hair.

The man with the silver hair dodged Ho Sung Lee’s sword energy and began his counter attack.

The man with the silver hair drew a straight line with his sword.

Ho Sung Lee ducked to dodge the sword energy and quickly charged forward to reduce the distance between them.

Ho Sung Lee swung his sword 7 times, which got very close to him.

And while the man with the silver hair dodged all 7, Ho Sung Lee used his sword to target his heart.

“Ugh!”

The man with the silver hair twisted his body, which caused for Ho Sung Lee’s sword to miss the heart and stab into the shoulder that had the broken armor.

Slash!

The man with the silver hair showed a pale look on his face.

There was no way Ho Sung Lee was going to miss this opportunity.

Right as he pulled his sword back to attack him further.

Some of the soldiers, who were nearby, jumped in.

The soldiers swung their swords at Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee flinched and stepped back due to the surprise attack, but since it was very unexpected, he couldn’t make appropriate countermeasures.

In the end, Ho Sung Lee suffered wounds on his arms, legs, and, his side.

“Ugh…!”

Ho Sung Lee wobbled around as he stepped back, and thick drops of blood dripped on the ground.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

The man with the silver hair shouted.

In response, the soldiers dropped their heads and stepped back.

The man with the silver hair fixed his grip on his sword. He looked at Ho Sung Lee and said, “They seemed to have lost their reason due to their impatient nature. Please forgive us.”

Ho Sung Lee smirked at the man with the silver hair with a stiffened face.

“Since your underlings jumped in, I think you lost.”

In response, the man with the silver hair scoffed.

“That’s nonsense. The only way this will end is once one of us dies.”

He never intended to have a fair battle to begin with.

“I thought you’d be tough seeing from your pretty face, but I was wrong.”

The man with the silver hair didn’t fall for Ho Sung Lee’s provocation.

“Let’s see how long you can last in that state.”

The man with the silver hair laughed.

“You’ve lost your grace once the situation turned out to your favor. You were the one flaunting your power in front of me.”

Ho Sung Lee scoffed, and this time, the man with the silver hair showed stiffness in his face as if this provocation worked.

And then there was silence.

The man with the silver hair charged forward without the need for words.

Ho Sung Lee was nervous.

He thought they were just dregs of Krok, but his fighting power was better than expected.

As a result, Ho Sung Lee took quite the hit.

The amount of force was causing him to lose energy and for the distance to shorten.

Ho Sung Lee had to block out all the attacks made by the man with the silver hair with a heavy body.

The sword energy was shotting out of the thin and long sword, and the close attacks that followed as soon as he dodged the previous shot disgusted him.

But he withstood it all.

He had to endure it for as long as possible… because he had two lives.

Once he became the Berserker, his abilities would double.

But if he lost consciousness, his life would be at a higher risk.

But since he had Min Sung, he didn’t care about that.

The problem was that he pretended to be all that, but he might not be able to prove himself to Min Sung.

For that reason, he had to make as much damage as possible before turning into his Berserker state.

But another problem was that his body wasn’t cooperating.

The man with the silver hair, who pretended to be more than fair and just, laughed as he swung his sword around.

And the attacks that followed cornered Ho Sung Lee into a situation where it became harder to block them out.

He did wound him on his left shoulder, but since it wasn’t deep enough, he continued to make his attacks.

As he lost stamina and gained wounds, his eyes became hazy.

He had a feeling he would become the Berserker soon.

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee thought of an idea.

His opponent didn’t know he had two lives.

What if they had similar capacities…?

That meant he could use his double death skill.

This skill allowed him to take the life of his opponent in the case that they die together.

Since he had the ability to become the Berserker, that skill was the most useful hidden skill he had.

He felt itchy with the urge to see the look on his face as soon as he suffered the effects of his hidden card.

‘I’ll make you regret letting your guard down during our battle.’

‘But then again, he was going to die in the hands of Min Sung anyway.’

In any case, he found it meaningful that he could make the man with the silver hair regret his actions himself.

He was determined.

Since Ho Sung Lee had died many times before, he felt no hesitation in dying again.

When the man with the silver hair swung his sword, rather than dodging it, Ho Sung Lee went head-on.

The man with the silver hair was unable to understand Ho Sung Lee’s behavior, and his pupils shook as a result.

As a result, the sword of the man with silver hair stabbed into Ho Sung Lee’s stomach.

At the same time, Ho Sung Lee clenched down on his bloody teeth and stabbed the man with the silver hair in the heart.

Slash!

Ho Sung Lee stabbed through the armor and got him right in the heart, and he could feel it in his fingertips.

“How do you feel now, you arrogant bastard?”

The man with the silver hair showed pain and rage in his eyes.

“You… crazy bastard!”

The biggest reason why his double death skill worked was because the man with the silver hair had let his guard down.

He thought that he had the win in the bag, and that confidence landed him in this pitiful state.

The handsome face of the man with the silver hair began to shrivel.

He felt refreshed seeing the dying look on his face.

The troops behind him charged forward to protect their head.

“Come at me.”

Ho Sung Lee spoke with a pained look on his face.

The five soldiers swung their weapons toward Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee had no intention to fight back.

All that mattered was that he stabbed the man with the silver hair in the heart.

COMMENT

The sword was covered in blood, and the man with the silver hair was on the ground with his eyes open.

As a result, the soldiers charged in to stab Ho Sung Lee.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Ho Sung Lee dropped his head backward and plopped down on his knees.

At the same time, the soldiers pulled out their weapons, and as soon as Ho Sung Lee was on the ground, the soldiers immediately used their potions and treatment magic on the man with silver hair.

But the man’s heart was too damaged to be recovered.

While the soldiers glared at Min Sung who was still alive…

Crack!

A strange noise could be heard.

The soldiers approached Ho Sung Lee, whom they assumed was head.

His hair turned red. His muscles got bigger, and his body wriggled as if he was a zombie, and this caused the soldiers to stare in shock.

As soon as Ho Sung Lee got up and opened his bloody eyes, the soldiers felt their bodies shiver out of fear.

An enormous energy was flowing out of Ho Sung Lee, who was now the Berserker.
