“Aren’t you curious how big these vessels will get?”
A serpentine gaze, slick and slimy, like a snake slithering forward.
Pitch-black eyes with no whites.
Even the soft voice that sounded like a devil’s whisper.
Black Mamba, as Siwoo observed, was like an emotionless, cold snake.
“Ahahahaha. Right, I’m curious. Should we call it our organization’s greatest discovery? Isn’t that right, Warthog?”
The leader turned his head with a bright smile.
There, Warthog was lying dead on the table, face down, from a magic grenade.
“Warthog, get up. Stop it.”
Crow tapped on the table.
“. . . .”
“This little punk.”
“Warthog’s always like that.”
This time, Black Mamba shot out magic. It was a small magic, like a flick of the finger, that tapped Warthog on the head.
Thud!
“H~eung! I slept well! Hello, Crow~”
Warthog got up cheerfully, blood trickling down from one of his eyes.
“Ahahahaha. Your eyeball popped out.”
“The bomb is a little painful~ Hwang Jeong-gu, you’re so mean!”
Warthog wiped his eyes with his palms.
Blood was wiped away from the pierced spot, and a new eye emerged, intact.
“He should be dead. . .”
Hwang Jeong-gu, who was far behind Siwoo, muttered in surprise.
He had clearly seen Warthog collapse after being hit by a magic grenade.
“. . . .”
Siwoo also felt a strange dissonance.
Because Warthog looked dead to him as well.
When he first entered the sanctuary and checked his surroundings, he couldn’t feel Warthog’s aura or any sign of life.
He could feel a little bit of magic, but. . .
“Wow~ Are all our members dead?”
Crow laughed at Warthog’s innocent question.
“No, one is alive. He’s crawling over there.”
He pointed to a puma crawling toward the exit on all fours.
“Puma is so~ ugly. Just die already.”
“You have no camaraderie. You’ll be hated everywhere you go with that personality.”
“Ahahahaha. Right, that’s why I have no friends here either, Warthog.”
They joked among themselves, even though their other BESTIA colleagues were dead.
“. . . .You’re Black Mamba.”
At that moment, Siwoo’s murderous intent pressed down on the table.
“Ooh~”
Crow took off his robe in surprise.
She was a pretty woman with short hair.
Objectively speaking, she was beautiful enough to rival a celebrity, but Siwoo didn’t care about looks.
“What a great killing intent? Ahahahaha, Mamba’s done it again.”
Crow narrowed her eyes and smiled.
“You’re quite the joker. I only do what I’m hired to do.”
“Mamba~ You should be gentle like me! You’ll get scolded by the leader!”
They laughed again, thinking they were so funny.
“Ha.”
Siwoo clenched his fists and slammed them on the table.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaang!
The huge stone table shattered in half and the wind blew.
“Let’s stop the chit-chat.”
There was no need to follow this crazy game.
Kill BESTIA, half-kill Black Mamba, and make the client scream.
A simple and clear plan.
Siwoo charged at Black Mamba first.
Even if he ripped off all her limbs, he only needed her mouth to talk.
He kicked a broken piece of the stone table with his foot.
Pa-ba-bak!
A boulder shot out like a bomb.
Black Mamba wrapped magic around her legs and struck the flying stone at a different angle.
Ku-ung!
The boulder was deeply embedded in the ceiling.
“I was going to send it back, but it’s heavier than I thought.”
“Is that so?”
Siwoo approached Black Mamba at an explosive speed and threw a punch.
A relentless right straight.
Pa-rang!
The fist came fiercely with a cracking sound.
Black Mamba wrapped magic around her entire body, strengthening her muscles and avoiding the fist with animalistic reflexes.
Nevertheless, a long cut appeared on her cheek.
“I don’t know who you are, but you’re better than some A+ rank Hunters.”
If it had been a little closer, her cheekbone would have been crushed or her ear would have been torn off.
Black Mamba had watched the battle between Hwang Jeong-gu and Chu Ha-min from beginning to end.
It was a strong, sophisticated battle.
Compared to the individual members of the top killers, their abilities were a bit lower, but they were definitely not Hunters that could be easily killed, even by A-Rank or higher.
However, this man in front of her,
“I’ll increase my speed.”
Pa-ru-at!!
He was different from the others.
“Keuk!”
Following the fist, a middle kick flew like an arrow.
It was so fast that even with magic strengthening his body, he couldn’t even see it properly.
Black Mamba gave up on dodging and guarded with her knees and both elbows.
Pa-ru-ru-ruk
It was an absurd power struggle.
Ku-u-u-ung!
Black Mamba, who flew sideways and crashed into the wall, felt her arms and legs tingling.
She didn’t break them thanks to the magic, but. . .
“I’m really curious. I thought I knew all the A-Rank or higher Hunters, but who are you?”
Siwoo stopped in his tracks as he was about to launch a combo attack.
Well, he didn’t even say why he was killing them.
“You, do you remember all the people you killed?”
“Hoo-hoo. Is this revenge?”
“Do you know Min-jun?”
“Jeong Min-jun. . . .?”
Black Mamba put her fingers on her chin. She thought for a moment and recalled who Jeong Min-jun was.
“You mean, the historian Jeong Min-jun?”
She must have killed him without leaving any trace or mark.
She even disposed of the body to prevent the Hunters from investigating.
But why?
“How did you guess that I was the culprit?”
Jeong Min-jun was not processed as dead, but as missing. Only his close aides suspected foul play.
“Guess?”
Siwoo threw a picture he had been carrying at Black Mamba.
The face of the culprit that briefly appeared when he looked at Jeong Min-jun’s memory.
A picture of that, materialized with his ability.
“Oh my. . . It’s my face.”
Black Mamba raised one side of her lips in self-mockery.
“You’re amazing. It must have been like finding a needle in a haystack. Are you a private detective?”
“No, his teacher.”
“Teacher. . .?”
There was no such thing as a teacher when she investigated the people around him.
“So what do you want? Revenge for your disciple?”
“Revengeγ ‘ I will. But before that. Who’s the client?”
“Ah.”
Black Mamba paused and burst into laughter.
Her laughter soon grew louder and turned into a fit of madness.
“Keuhahahahahaha.”
“What’s so funny?”
