Kill the Hero Chapter 37
TL: Uncle Choi
Editor: Bait
In reality, mutants were often weak . They usually didn’t live long and many would die in their natural habitats .
But in a dungeon, things were different .
Most monsters with mutations or variations in dungeons possessed either overwhelming power or a special ability .
Seug!
The Albino Lizard that came out of the vast wetlands then appeared on the ground was such a case . First of all, compared to an average lizardman, it’s size was on a completely different scale . While standing upright on both legs, its height reached three meters . It was huge enough for even orcs to shrug their shoulders and walk away after seeing them, and its tail was nearly two meters in length .
It meant that the Albino Lizard would become a 5 meter long monster when it lowered its posture and walked on four legs .
Most importantly, its white skin and red eyes was proof it was a unique presence within the dark swamp .
Such a presence also served as clear proof that the Albino Lizard was the king of this place .
Churl!
Walking in a bold and dignified manner was impossible without the confidence to deal with any predator that could threaten its life .
Tteolgeuleog! Tteolgeuleog!
That’s why the Albino Lizard was not alarmed when a skeleton lizardman blocked its path with a blunt knife in its hand .
Churl?
Instead, it looked at the skeleton lizardman with eyes that questioned its purpose .
On the other hand, skeleton lizardman executed its duty faithfully .
It rushed at the Albino Lizard in hostility .
Its resolve was quite strong .
Seug!
But as soon as the Albino Lizard stood up on its hind legs, the mood quickly changed .
An unspeakable feeling of grandeur flowed from its 3 meter tall body .
That was when the Albino Lizard quickly swung its body .
Huwoong!
Its heavy tail ruthlessly swept the floor .
The Albino Lizard didn’t have even a hint of doubt that this attack would destroy that insignificant skeleton .
But the skeleton soldier paused just outside the range of its tail .
Huwoong!
The tail naturally swung through the air . The Albino Lizard swung its body around once more and faced the skeleton soldier .
At that moment, the skeleton soldier began to loiter in front of the Albino Lizard .
It began to calculate how to fight against the Albino Lizard, who possessed a formidable attack power and range .
But from the Albino Lizard’s perspective, it seemed like the insignificant skeleton was looking down on him .
Kaaa!
Such impudence caused the lizard to focus all of its anger toward the skeleton soldier .
Its desire to crush the skeleton soldier into powder was apparent all over its body .
Now was the moment Kim Woo-jin decided to step in .
Kim Woo-jin quickly approached the Albino Lizard from the behind .
Then, with a kukri in his right hand, he swung down on the Albino Lizard’s white leathery skin like an axe .
Puu-ukk!
A rough sloppy sound of the Albino Lizard’s back being cut open could be heard, as if chopping up a log with an axe, and revealing its inner flesh .
Puk!
Kim Woo-jin inserted a spear he was holding in his left hand into the wound .
Tuk!
Then Kim Woo-jin broke off the pole from the spear .
That was it for now .
Kaa!
By the time the Albino Lizard turned around after the surprise attack from behind, Kim Woo-jin was already running away .
The Albino Lizard paused for a bit while a.n.a.lyzing on the situation .
Tteolgeuleog! Tteolgeuleog!
In its ear, the Albino Lizard could hear the sound of the skeleton soldier slowly approaching it . Huwoong!
Albino Lizard swung its tail at the skeleton soldier once again .
However, the skeleton soldier stepped back and closely observed its movements once more .
It looked like a beast whetting its appet.i.te before hunting a delicious prey .
Kayah!
Albino Lizard stared intensely at the skeleton soldier with killing intent, spewing out with anger .
And Kim Woo-jin moved once more .
Everything was the same as before .
While the Albino Lizard was distracted by the skeleton soldier, Kim Woo-jin approached the Albino Lizard’s back and wounded it with his kukri, then stabbed it with the spear, and broke off the pole of the spear again .
Afterwards, Kim Woo-jin disappeared into the bushes and observed the Albino Lizard .
‘What will it do now?’
This was the attack strategy that Kim Woo-jin prepared for the Albino Lizard .
The Albino Lizard and the Orc Champion were, in general, similar types of monsters .
They were both arrogant, aggressive, and had a keen fighting sense, but not very intelligent .
But there was a very distinct difference between the Orc Champion and the Albino Lizard .
‘Is it thinking about running away?
Unlike the Orc Champion, the Albino Lizard knew how to run away when the situation wasn’t looking good .
And furthermore, this dungeon was filled with great hiding spots like the swamp that the Albino Lizard could retreat to .
It was one of the main reasons why this dungeon became a h.e.l.l that devoured countless talented players .
Since there was nothing they could be done if the Albino Lizard escaped into the swamp after getting heavily injured .
Setting its body on fire like when hunting a troll was also useless due to the presence of the swamps .
For it would go into the swamp and extinguish it the moment its body caught on fire .
Of course, there were skills to create an inextinguishable fire but it wasn’t something that players under 30 levels could use .
Anyway, when the fight became an unexpected battle of attrition, the plans players had went out the window, and were eventually resulted in the deaths of those said players .
Kim Woo-jin was prepared to engage in a battle of attrition against the Albino Lizard .
‘It wouldn’t matter much even if it ran away . ’
The two spears that he pierced into its body were the groundwork for a battle of attrition .
[Albino Lizard is Under the Effect of Blood Poisoning . ]
From now on, the spear tips in its body will eat away its health until it is melted and decomposed .
Even if it ran away, there was no reason for Kim Woo-jin to hurry .
The reason he was using a regular skeleton soldier instead of a black bone skeleton soldier was also for the long-term battle .
Kaa!
Kim Woo-jin saw the Albino Lizard expressing anger at the skeleton soldier once again .
‘I guess it’s still thinking about fighting for now . ’
With such a view, Kim Woo looked around at the spears that were placed all around him .
There were bodies of lizardmen that were ready to be sacrificed at anytime to summon skeleton soldiers .
Finally, he took out the last energy bar in his arm .
‘I’ll kill you even if I have to fight you all day . ’
Seventy-eight .
That was the number of spears within the Albino Lizard’s once smooth white back .
Obviously, the Albino Lizard was not in a good condition .
Shii…
The speed of its tongue was slow enough to be laughed at even by a turtle . Its red eyes, which was once shining with vitality, was as dull as a rotten frozen pollack .
Nevertheless, the Albino Lizard stood upright on its two legs and kept up its guard as it looked around .
It squeezed out its last remaining strength to show it wasn’t weak .
[Blood Poisoning Has Spread Throughout the Body of the Albino Lizard . ]
[Albino Lizard’s Health is Greatly Reduced . ]
But within the ear of the hunter who was after its life, the fact that the Albino Lizard was just putting up a futile struggle was repeatedly heard .
In actuality, the outcome of the hunt was set in stone .
It was impossible for the Albino Lizard to tell where the hunter was even if he appeared . Nonetheless, Kim Woo-jin did not reveal himself .
He approached one of the lizardman corpses he had prepared and summoned a skeleton soldier by sacrificing it .
Tteolgeuleog! Tteolgeuleog!
The skeleton soldier immediately rushed toward the Albino Lizard .
Kaa…
The Albino Lizard unwillingly closed its red eyes after realizing there was yet another nightmare it had to face .
It was prepared to meet its end .
Even at that moment, Kim Woo-jin did not show up in front of the Albino Lizard .
If someone were to ask which of them was more cold-blooded, between Kim Woo-jin and the Albino Lizard, everyone would say that Kim Woo-jin was way more cold-blooded after witnessing such a scene .
Time pa.s.sed by in a such a manner .
[Albino Lizard Has Been Eliminated . ] [Achievement ‘Albino Lizard Hunter’ Has Been Achieved . ] [A Catalogue Will Be Given As a Reward . ]
A notification that finally confirmed the end of the Albino Lizard to Kim Woo-jin .
[You Have Leveled Up . ] [Emissary of the Underworld Marvels at Your Challenge . ] [Emissary of the Underworld Sends Some of His Power . ] [Rank of the Skill Blood Poison Increases By One Rank . ] [Rank of the Skill Blood Weapon Increases By One Rank . ]
At the end of the cruel stage, the spectator sent its congratulations and gifts to Kim Woo-jin . However, there were no notifications that confirmed the end of the dungeon .
It was because Kim Woo-jin had yet to secure the Albino Lizard’s egg, which was the clear condition of the dungeon .
‘Now it’s time to move . ’
Only then did Kim Woo-jin appear in front of the Albino Lizard for the first time .
There was, of course, no sentiment .
Kim Woo-jin flipped the Albino Lizard like a machine . The first thing he did after that was skinning the Albino Lizard .
The situation was different than when he had hunted the Orc Champion .
There was no audience here and he had plenty of time .
That meant he was free to loot everything he could get his hands onto .
‘The Albino Lizard’s leather is enough to make a set of Lv 30 rare grade armor . ’
This was the normal process in a dungeon clear .
It was perfectly normal to take as much as possible from a dungeon . It was just that Kim Woo-jin wasn’t able to carry out such a common practice in previous dungeons due to various circ.u.mstances .
Naturally, Kim Woo-jin’s harvesting skills were excellent .
For someone who had skinned a dragon that was almost 100 meters, an Albino Lizard that was 5 meters long was nothing .
His only regret was that the Albino Lizard’s most useful leather, which was located in its back, was in a terrible condition due to Kim Woo-jin’s gruesome attacks .
Afterwards, Kim Woo-jin immediately cut open the Albino Lizard’s belly .
Then a single egg appeared .
[You Have Found the Albino Lizard’s Egg . ]
[You Have Cleared the Dungeon . ]
Only then did he get a notification that confirmed the end of the dungeon .
‘Finally, it is in my hands . ’
The Albino Lizard’s egg that appeared in such a manner was about the same size as an ostrich egg .
The color was unique .
The sh.e.l.l was white, but there were purple stripes of energy enveloping the sh.e.l.l, making it look both puerile and gruesome .
While looking at it, Kim Woo-jin recalled memories of the past .
‘Now I can see what the Messiah Guild was hiding . ’
In 2025, the Messiah guild secured the Albino Lizard’s egg after considerable sacrifices . But information about the egg was kept a secret .
There was not even information confirming whether or not it was a legendary item or skill .
People just speculated that it was a legendary item or skill because the Messiah Guild a.s.sessed its value to be enough to hide its information .
Puck!
In order to reveal such a secret, Kim Woo-jin cracked the top of the egg’s sh.e.l.l open with his kukri .
Pajig!
But within the broken sh.e.l.l, a new sh.e.l.l appeared .
Pajig!
Kim Woo-jin repeatedly struck the Albino Lizard’s egg with his kukri again and again; each time, one layer of the sh.e.l.l was peeled off one by one .
Like an onion, the number of layers of sh.e.l.l he peeled were numerous .
And each time a layer of the sh.e.l.l was broken, the violet energy surrounding the sh.e.l.l grew stronger .
Soon after, the white colors disappeared from the sh.e.l.l, leaving only the violet coloration behind . Once Kim Woo-jin hit the sh.e.l.l again one last time, the sh.e.l.l split into two and a skill page made up of obsidian finally appeared .
Kim Woo-jin picked up the skill page .
[Apophis’ Power]
Acquisition Requirement: Emissary of the Underworld Acquisition Level: Must be higher than level 1 Skill Effect: Gain immunity to all poisons .Apophis’s power .
‘… d.a.m.n it . ’
It was a divinity only the Deadly Poison King possessed in Kim Woo-jin’s memory .
Deadly Poison King .
Kim Woo-jin first met him in the year 2026 at Beijing .
Kim Woo-jin, who headed for Beijing with a team to clear the 6 floor dungeon, faced the Deadly Poison King in front of the dungeon gate .
And on the spot, Kim Woo-jin lost seven of his colleagues .
After seeing his colleagues die without being able to leave a will due to the threat posed by the Deadly Poison King’s poison, Kim Woo-jin ran away .
Since then, the Deadly Poison King and Kim Woo-jin continued to have a hostile relationship .
Even now, Kim Woo-jin was able to name all of his colleagues who lost their lives to the the Deadly Poison King; he could even draw their faces if he were asked to do so . But now, the skill that helped such a monster to exist was in the hands of Kim Woo-jin . Something which should have belonged to the Messiah Guild .
The meaning behind such a development was simple .
The Messiah Guild gave it to the Deadly Poison King .
Or the Deadly Poison King stole it from the Messiah Guild .
Those were the two possibilities .
And the answer was obvious .
‘Did the Messiah Guild create the Deadly Poison King?’
The chances of him stealing it from the Messiah Guild when not even Kim Woo-jin was aware of the existence of such skill page was similar to the probability of Kim Woo-jin returning to the past .
In the end, it was proof that the Deadly Poison King was the work of the Messiah Guild .
‘There are… plenty of reasons to do so . ’
It was well worth doing so .
Deadly Poison King was a villain .
He took whatever he needed and he destroyed everything he found annoying in the process . Moreover, the year 2026, when he was active, was a time when chaos erupted like wildfire .
A year when countless cities were left in ruins by the monsters that came out of the dungeons and countries around the world began losing their ability to function . No one wanted to antagonize a monster like the Deadly Poison King around a time when everyone was busy trying to save themselves .
It was a period in need of righteous players who could bring judgement on the outbreak of evil players .
The existence of the Deadly Poison King made the Messiah Guild shine even brighter .
Naturally, the Messiah Guild played such a role .
The Messiah Guild, who fought with monsters to save the world, now had a reason to punish players for the sake of the world .
After that, the Messiah Guild asked for legendary items in exchange for punishing the Deadly Poison King and the world was forced to comply .
Legendary items were collected in order to deal with the Deadly Poison King .
They also recruited volunteers to destroy the Deadly Poison King .
To be honest, there was no need to recruit anyone for help .
It is because there was the strongest hunting dog in the Messiah Guild, someone who lost his comrades and was fuming with anger .
‘In the end, after killing the Deadly Poison King, the Messiah Guild became the judicator of the world . ’
Kim Woo-jin killed the Deadly Poison King .
He succeeded in avenging his dead comrades .
But now he realized that it was all a part of the Messiah Guild’s ambitions .
The n.o.ble sacrifice of those who were willing to die to save the world was actually a dog’s death . Kim Woo-jin, however, was now fuming with new anger over such a reason .
[You Have Learned the Skill Apophis’ Power . ] [You Have Gained Immunity to All Toxins . ]
‘Lee Se-joon, I will be the one who’s going to kill you . ’
It only made him brood over in anger once again .
