A Side Character's Mission ↠ Solo Leveling

Chapter 48: Final Confrontation 1

"I don't know what his motives are... but one thing for sure is he's being serious."

Yoon-Ho was shaken as a sudden realization settled in. "So, you didn't save Byung-Gu because you were planning to kill us?"

"I wonder..." Seung-Eun replied nonchalantly. 'The healer is dead in the original plot of the manhwa anyway.'

As the situation became more heated, Dongwook spoke up, saying, "I am extremely disappointed right now. I'm not sure why you're attacking us, Hunter Han, but I'm not going to let you hurt any of us. I'll take him while you guys get out of here as soon as possible. First and foremost, we must get Hunter Cha to safety."

Dongwook prepared his posture by spreading his legs apart and his arms outstretched in front of him. However, seeing the sight of the confident muscular man only made Seun-Eun annoyed.

"You just got better after taking the potion. But didn't I say I was going to murder you all? Do you believe you can defeat me by yourself?!" Seung-Eun said with a scoff. "Don't underestimate me!"

Dongwook readied himself for combat, but Seung-Eun's power proved to be overwhelming. He dashed forward toward the bigger man who had his arms crossed in front of him to block the attack. Dongwook was sent flying with a powerful kick, crashing into the trees behind him.

Boom!

The other hunters could only watch in shock.

'Hunter Ma Dongwook was taken down single attack?!'

The sole A-rank hunter was trembling as he watched the fight, and the director communicating with him was constantly yelling trying to make him explain the current situation that was being broadcasted to the whole country. 'Ugh, I don't know what's happening either...'

"One down," Seung-Eun remarked, his voice laced with chilling confidence. His smile was unnerving. "Who's next?"

...

"What is this brat thinking?! Is he trying to single-handedly end this country?!" The chairman of the Korean Hunter Association massaged his temple in frustration.

'It's over...'

"Quickly, find out more about him. We need to find a way to solve this problem," he told the subordinate in the room.

"Understood, Mr. Chairman."

...

As the thunder continued to rumble in the background, the other hunters watched the broadcast of Jeju Island in bewilderment and disbelief.

"Hell nah, who let a lunatic join the mission?"

"He's the newest S-rank hunter, right?"

"This one is crazy, trying to fight all of the S-rank hunters all at once. He must have lost his mind."

"I thought the mission was already over."

Song Chi-Yul and Lee Joohee recognized the person on the screen. They looked at each other in disbelief.

"That's hunter Han Seung-Eun... right?"

"Seung-Eun, what is he doing?"

In the distance, Chi-Yul caught a glimpse of a familiar face who looked directly at him.

"Song Chi-Yul-ssi." Hwan Jae greeted the man with a solemn face. The commotion around them made everyone aware of the situation.

"Hwan Jae, you know Han Seung-Eun at school, right?"

"Yes, but he hasn't attended class for a while."

"I see," Chi-Yul replied with a frown. "I was surprised when he was suddenly awakened as an S-rank hunter. Although it wasn't that I knew him, I didn't expect that he would do this..."
