once the greatest talent
[Number 1!]
While he was having fun playing bouncy ball with the Quagmire summons, which had already grown to 10, a familiar voice came through Kim Jin-seong’s earphones.
It was the voice of number 8, one of the thieves who were scouting nearby.
[The taggers are coming from the castle! That’s a huge number!]
At the 8th word, Jinseong Kim jumped as high as he could and turned his head towards Bonseong.
It was true.
A large group of taggers, approximately 80 people, were quickly running towards Kim Jin-seong.
In particular, the face of the person running in front looked familiar even though it was a very long distance.
‘Yang Jung-geun…’
Jinseong Kim’s eyebrows narrowed. It was very suspicious to see Yang Jung-geun running directly like that.
‘There’s no way someone like that snake serpent would come to support me without any plan.’
Yang Jung-geun was a very experienced hunter who even became a clan master.
The number of about 80 people was threatening, but more than anything, it was suspicious that Yang Jung-geun was moving together.
Jinseong Kim strengthened his thoughts and moved his body.
‘For now, let’s leave the place and use the summons to see how they react.’
Quagmire was a very difficult monster to deal with.
Kim Jin-seong planned to use the Mana Hawk to see how Yang Jung-geun dealt with the Quagmire and then make his move.
‘Let’s just get one skill before we go.’
Kim Jin-seong quickly thought about which skill notification window to choose among the several skill notifications that appeared before his eyes.
‘···There’s nothing particularly useful about it. I need to get my spider web skills.’
In order to absorb the spider web skill used by one of the hunters, Kim Jin-seong discarded the toxic swamp skill he had obtained by killing a monster.
And then he launched himself to escape.
“Hi!”
One of the taggers in that direction was startled and gasped.
Still, the response was quick. He quickly ran to the other side to avoid it.
But even in that he failed.
“Uh, uhuh…?”
The tagger starts to stumble, unable to maintain his balance due to the sudden spinning in front of his eyes.
The confusion skill was successful.
Without hesitation, Kim Jin-seong transformed into ‘Dark Hound’ and gave instructions through earphones.
[Everyone disperse and retreat! Don’t forget to use your skills.]
Then, he grabbed the tagger, who was so confused that he couldn’t get up, with his mouth and started running with all his might.
Kim Jin-seong saw the nearby thieves scattering in all directions while using their unique skills.
Even though Kim Jin-seong ran away so openly, not a single tagger paid any attention.
This was because it was a difficult situation to deal with the remaining 10 Quagmire summons. Rather, I was just thankful that Kim Jin-seong had disappeared.
No one was worried about the hunter Kim Jin-seong took with him.
Chi profit…
“Aaaah~!”
It was at that time that another tagger was screaming and holding onto his shin, which was being melted by a summoned beast.
“Move!!”
Yang Jung-geun, who had already come nearby, shouted in a loud voice.
When all of the taggers naturally retreated from Yang Jung-geun’s snarl, Yang Jung-geun shouted again.
“Come at me!!”
The taggers around Yang Jung-geun held their ears and cowered.
Yang Jung-geun’s voice was so loud that it was painful as if my eardrums were torn.
This was a symptom when ‘provocation’, one of Yang Jung-geun’s unique skills, worked properly.
At the same time, the Quagmire summons that were running wild in all directions suddenly all rushed towards Yang Jung-geun as if possessed.
Despite that threatening appearance, Yang Jung-geun did not back down but instead took a step forward.
“Huh!!”
Then, with a burst of energy, he stamped his mana-filled palm on the ground with all his might.
Then, in an instant, a magic circle with a strange pattern began to be quickly drawn in a wide area.
The moment the magic circle was completed in an instant,
‘···uh?’
‘It’s slowed down!’
The taggers around them widened their eyes at the sight of Quagmire’s summons noticeably slowing down.
But an even more surprising scene awaited them.
Pow!
Quagmire’s summoner’s arm exploded due to the regime of Yang Jung-geun, who approached in an instant.
It was a sight that put to shame the struggles of so many hunters.
“under! “It’s nothing, just a walking slime bastard!”
Yang Jung-geun shouted in a confident voice and continued to run wild.
Although he was extremely slow, Yang Jung-geun dodged all of Quagmire’s attacks and continued to explode with his fists, making him look like a superman.
The eyes of the taggers who were watching this were colored with astonishment.
In particular, the shock felt by their leader, Lee Deok-gu, was greater than that of anyone else.
‘We had to focus all of our firepower to barely cut down a few people, but that easily…?’
Until now, Deokgu Lee’s team had only cut the monsters in half at most, and they had never cut Quagmire’s summons into such small pieces.

However, it was not enough for Yang Jung-geun to explode with his own strength, and he was easily dealing with all 10 of them by himself.
‘Is that really a B-class hunter?’
Lee Deok-gu couldn’t believe it.
As a C+ level hunter, he was on the verge of becoming a B level hunter. Therefore, he is a person who knows very well how much combat power a B-class hunter possesses.
From his perspective, Yang Jung-geun’s current inaction could hardly be considered B-level.
In fact, it was at a level well above B grade.
* * *
Just like Deoksu Lee, the viewers were all surprised.
– wow
– What’s so strong?
– Also from Dream Gold Master ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– Did I tell you? Yang Jung-geun is so strong?
– Is it class B? I don’t think so…
The caster was also broadcasting in a surprised voice.
[Yang Jung-geun is fighting 10 Quagmires alone! This is an even more surprising sight considering Kim Jin-seong, who was fighting one animal at a time earlier!]
However, the commentator next to me reacted calmly, as if he had already expected it.
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen a subspace magic circle. This is the core ability that once made Yang Jung-geun a celebrity.]
[ah! Is that pattern a subspace magic circle?]
The narrator nodded.
[This is one of Yang Jung-geun’s unique skills. When used, all stats of enemies within the magic circle will drop significantly. On the other hand, the user Yang Jung-geun’s abilities become much stronger.]
[ah! That’s why such a matchless scene was able to appear!]
[That’s right.]
[Wow…but he has such deceptive skills, why is he ranked B? To me, it seems like an ability that can reach level A or higher!]
[Because it is very vulnerable from a distance.]
The narrator answered right away without hesitation.
[As you get into higher-level dungeons, monsters often have both short-range and long-range skills. It is very difficult to conquer top-tier dungeons using only the subspace magic circle ability, which can only show high attack power within close range.]
[Oh, I see···!]
Meanwhile, Jang Seung-wook, who was watching the commentators having this conversation on the monitor, turned to Baek Jun and asked.
“I heard there was a time when Yang Jung-geun was selected as one of the best talents in Korea?”
Baekjun nodded lightly.
“If I had worked a little harder and not indulged in pleasures, I could have achieved level A or higher.”
“Oh~.”
Jang Seung-wook thought of Yang Jung-geun’s image and immediately turned his gaze back to the monitor with an expression of understanding.
The job of being a hunter was actually a job that was difficult to be sincere. This is because the money earned each time a dungeon is conquered is basically billions of dollars.
In fact, among those who were evaluated as having outstanding talent, there were very few who made consistent efforts without falling into hedonism.
And even there, there were only a small number of hunters in the world who developed their skills and became stronger.
Those few people will become representative hunters commanding the entire world, and will ultimately have the qualifications to enter the New Continent.

puck!
Yang Jung-geun, who had once again unleashed the Quagmire summon, lightly waved his right hand to shake it off and looked around.
“what? Is it over already? “It’s boring!”
As he shouted for everyone to hear, his feet were filled with pieces of the mucous membranes of the summons he had exploded.
They were moving at a slow pace to slowly come together. Some of them were already quite lumped together and appeared to be playing again.
Yang Jung-geun saw that and turned around.
“What are you doing? Without freezing it quickly!”
“We are ready now.”
The thin man with a cold look who caught his gaze answered in a low voice and stretched out his hands filled with mana.
Hwiee~!
At the same time, an ice vortex was created near Yang Jung-geun.
The whirlwind grew bigger and bigger until it almost covered the magic circle, and naturally the shredded mucous membranes of Quagmire’s summons were swept away by the whirlwind.
The mucous membranes that had been freezing at such a rapid rate soon froze completely.
Naturally, playback stopped.
“Wang dumplings! “It’s your turn!”
Yang Jung-geun took a quick step back and gave instructions to the fat guy next to him, Han Min-su.
After sighing loudly, Han Minsu said,
“Hmm!”
I began to suck the mucous membranes in front of me into my mouth with all my might.
All the mucous membranes frozen under the enormous pressure began to be sucked into Han Min-su’s mouth.
“Tsk…!”
“Uh oh…!”
Even the taggers nearby were forced to move a few steps towards Han Min-soo under the pressure.
Only after all the mucous membrane had been sucked out did Han Minsu close his mouth.
“Ouch…!”
Then, Han Min-soo rubs his stomach and burps. Rather, his face suddenly became lively.
Then pop his back! pop! It was Yang Jung-geun who knocked.
“Good job, dumplings!”
“It’s Han Min-soo…”
“The name Wang Dumpling suits you! Just change your name right now! Grind your saints.”
“······.”
Yang Jung-geun took his gaze away from Han Min-soo, who had a dumb expression on his face, but soon his expression hardened and he took a step forward.
Deokgu Lee was standing right in front of where he stopped.
“It looks good, huh? Did I warn you? “You’re definitely going to regret it if you don’t follow my advice?”
“······.”
“If you had crossed the stone bridge while pounding like I did, this situation wouldn’t have happened, you know? “You killed these people!”
Even though he was openly humiliating him in front of everyone, Lee Deok-gu was unable to respond in any way.
It was an undeniable fact that more than half of the taggers who were with him died.
“From now on, don’t try to tell me anything! “If you have the slightest conscience, from now on, just shut up and follow my words unconditionally!”
“······.”
“Okay, let’s all go back! “I have to tell you about the plan I planned again!”
Yang Jung-geun turned around while shouting, and all the remaining taggers started to follow behind him.
And among the returning group was Lee Deok-gu.
“······.”
Lee Deok-gu walked with his mouth closed and his head bowed, and his steps seemed much weaker than before.
* * *
That time.
Kim Jin-seong, who had already reached the end of the island, was sitting on a flat rock and taking a break.
“As expected, it would have been dangerous if I stayed.”
Kim Jin-seong, who watched the scene through Mana Mae, had just confirmed how Yang Jung-geun and his fellow taggers defeated the summoned beasts.
‘The two on either side of Yang Jung-geun are definitely faces I’ve never seen before. There is a high probability that they came in as supplementary personnel.’
A person with the ability to create a huge ice whirlwind, and a person with amazing abilities who can eat all the pieces of Quagmire.
At this level, Kim Jin-seong should have definitely caught the eye when watching the first video of the preliminaries. But even though I’ve been looking through iTube videos for a month, I don’t remember seeing that kind of ability.
If so, it is highly likely that he came in as a supplement to the second preliminary round along with Yang Jung-geun.
‘If you received the skills of more than 100 enemies at once, including those with such abilities…’
Jinseong Kim shook his head.
Even for Kim Jin-seong, who possesses all kinds of abilities, dealing with them all would have been an act of suicide.
‘There’s still a mountain of snow there.’
After thinking that far, Kim Jin-seong changed the mana to flame properties and lit a fire on his finger.
Let’s move it to the side,
“Attatte!!”
One tagger, whose entire body was tied up in spider webs, was writhing in pain.
Kim Jin-seong said, glaring at him intimidatingly.
“Why don’t you hurry up? “Do you want to know what modern-day burning at the stake is?”
“Ji, I’m done now! Please confirm it!”
The tagger answered urgently and held out the smartphone he had been fiddling with.
Kim Jin-seong put the earphone plugged into his smartphone into his remaining ear.
“I unlocked all the passwords and reconnected with the hunter code! Now you can hear everything the taggers communicate with each other!”
That was when the tagger finished explaining it to Kim Jin-seong.
[This is the watchman. warden. Almost all of the thieves’ locations have been confirmed.]
Someone’s voice was heard communicating through the earphones connected to the smartphone.
[Who is the thief you couldn’t identify?]
In response to Yang Jung-geun’s voice immediately asking the question, a person who introduced himself as a watchman responded.
[We found everyone except two. The two, including Kim Jin-seong, appear to have fled in the northwest direction.]
“······!”
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes widened slightly.
This was because his current location was truly in the northwest direction.
