Piercing Sword (Solo Leveling)

'So far from what I've observed since our fight, this guy doesn't have assassin abilities. Yet, he moves like an assassin type hunter. They way he fights, moves and even how his senses are sharper for assassin hunters. It threw me off when he suddenly recovered himself using healing magic earlier. This guy's dangerous,' Tae-Shik said in his head.

Jinwoo's aura become darker, his eyes are hidden underneath the shadow of his own darkness, embracing him into one. His eyes are narrowed, yet also collected with blue glow emitted. His emotions have become duller each time has passed as he fought.

'Another one of my emotions has died.'

"It's not worth getting mad at someone like you," Jinwoo coldy affirmed.

A sudden gust of wind approaches Tae-Shik's camouflage form at an incredible speed, startling him in the process as he barely dodged Jinwoo's dagger. The assassin's eyes widened in shock.

'He saw through my camouflage?!'

Tae-Shik hopped back, "I see you're going straight for my neck. Oh, is that it? I finally understand what sets you apart from the others."

Tae-Shik grinned in madness with eyes filled with nothing but pure insanity.

"You've tasted blood before."

Jinwoo stayed quiet, not bothering to answer the man.

Seo-yeon recalls the moment when Jinwoo confess his first killing after his hospital release.

".......I killed the rest of the raid team."

The sentence that are coming out of his mouth were as clear as day, yet it's dawn by cold whisper underneath his breath. She could remember clearly how he sounded like when he told her the truth. He could've lied, he could've avoid it. But he trusts her, completely without hesitation.

'Jinwoo had already said that his system had forced him to work his body to be able to adapt the dungeons....it was not only physically but also mentally. His body isn't what it used to be anymore, it was now build to be a tank.'

She feels her eyelids getting heavier and unknowingly, she closed her eyes as she leaning against the rocky walls behind her.

"Awakenings.....brought about an unexpected force, which altered the rules of society. Newrules were made exclusively for hunters. Laws or ethics don't apply to us. He who is string is the only law. Which is why I'm going to unleash my true power," Tae-shik's eyes gleamed in the dark.

His figure suddenly disappeared from a blink of an eye. A rapid attacks were aimed towards the E rank hunter. However, Jinwoo had deflect them all effortlessly and flawless.

Tae-Shik grunt, 'I see. I think I know how he saw through my camouflage. My presence is concealed as soon as camouflage takes effect, but if I attack with the strong intention of killing my opponent, I become detectable for a split second. He mustve been waiting for that moment. Still, he probably won't be able to predict exactly where my attacks are coming from. I have to be unpredictable.'

Jinwoo's eyes snapped open, glowing in neon blue.

Tae-Shik could feel his body freeze in place, his legs felt like it was being pinned down by the shadow beneath him. He felt an overwhelming aura staring down at him. He looks up for the source only to be meet face to face with a giant glowing blue eyes glaring down at his punny figure.
