Choi In-Kyu’s mouth was agape from what he was seeing, he couldn’t believe how it was possible.
“Ho..How is this possible? No, no this is impossible. How did you break my chain? This is just an illusion; this is not possible; you did not use any skill. AHHHHHH” after seeing his chain break Choi In-Kyu began to go crazy, he couldn’t believe that Kang-Ho was able to break his chain without using any skill.
‘It is true that I didn’t use any skill but, I used mana, I simply coated my dagger with mana. It seems skills works the same way; I can control mana on my own but it seems hunters from earth are getting help from something to use skills. This is bizarre, I clearly felt mana being manipulated in his body to make the chain, but he wasn’t the one who was doing the work. I need to investigate this more.’ thought Kang-Ho, when he was in that hell like place, he learnt how to manipulate mana, so coating his dagger with mana was not a difficult task for him.
The reason behind Choi In-Kyu’s surprise was because he didn’t see Kang-Ho use any skill but he still managed to break his chain. This led Kang-Ho to only one conclusion, that was that Choi In-Kyu couldn’t manipulate mana on his own. Anyone who can manipulate mana can feel it flow through the surrounding and feel it being manipulated. One more question bugged Kang-Ho, that was if they can’t feel the mana how can they use skills that requires manipulation of mana itself. Kang-Ho decided to investigate about this later.
After breaking the chain Kang-Ho moved forward without giving any explanation to Choi In-Kyu, he just wanted it to be over as soon as possible.
“Don’t come near me or else I will kill you stay back!” yelled Choi In-Kyu after loosing his chain he was at loss; he didn’t know what to do next. Right now, all he wanted to do was to run away.
‘F**k F**k F**k this is bad’ thought Choi In-Kyu, this was the first time facing this kind of situation. in panic he started to backstep.
Kang-Ho didn’t want to drag it any longer, so he leaped at Choi In-Kyu. Rage was clearly flashing in his eyes when he leaped towards Choi In-Kyu. It was almost as if he wanted to shred Choi In-Kyu into pieces.
‘Anyone who wish my family harm, dies. Even if it is god.’ Thought Kang-Ho to himself when he slashed his dagger onto the neck of Choi In-Kyu.
Choi In-Kyu fell on his knees and his head rolled backward in a weird degree, his head was just hanging because it was still attached to some of the skin. He had many expressions on his face when he dies. It was as if he was asking ‘What have I don’t to you?’ ‘Why me?’.
After killing Choi In-Kyu, Kang-Ho slashed his dagger in are to get rid of the blood on it. He then stored the dagger inside his ring. Kang-Ho noticed something after Choi In-Kyu’s death which was peculiar, the measly amount of mana that Choi In Kyu had in his body dispersed leaving no trace behind, Kang-Ho found that bizarre.

Knag-Ho moved his attention towards the battle that was going on between the Crow guild and the Choi Guild. it seemed Crow guild were suffering badly. Kim Min-Soo was standing on the higher ground and he was sniping out the strong hunters from Crow guild’s side. The crow guild was losing their stronger hunters fast, at the rate this was going they would lose the battle for sure.
Kang-Ho wanted to erase the Choi guild form its root. He wanted no one from Choi guild to be left alive. After thinking up to that point Kang-Ho didn’t waste more time and ran towards the battle.

“Boss look, Choi In-Kyu is dead!” someone yelled from Crow guild.
“What?” Chu Kong in the middle of the battle turned around to take a look at the place where Choi In-Kyu and the masked man was fighting. He was so surprised after hearing about the news that he forgot he was in middle of a battle. At first, he just thought that the news was just meant to distract him, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he had no other choice but to believe.
“He did it, he did it, HAHAHAHAHHAAHA. ALRIGHT GUYS HALF THE WAR IS WON WE JUST NEED TO FINISH THE HALF OF IT. GLORY TO THE CROWS.” yelled Chu Kong and turned towards the battlefield.
“BOOS LOOKOUT!” someone yelled to Chu Kong.
When he heard the warning, it was already too late, one arrow was headed straight his way, the arrow was aimed at his head, there was no time for Chu Kong to dodge the attack.
‘Is this it? If it is at least I got to see that scumbag Choi In-Kyu die, I have no regrets.’ Thought Chu Kong, as he saw the arrow inching closer. For him it was as if he was seeing his life.
CLANG
Right at that moment a dagger came from nowhere and intercepted the arrow on its way. Chu Kong felt as if he was given a second life.
Chu Kong turned around to see who it was that saved his life and there he was the masked man standing from where the dagger came from. Chu Kong was confused; he didn’t know who the masked man was and why he helped him.
“But, wh….” Chu Kong was trying to say something but before he could finish his sentence the masked man started running towards Kim Min-Soo the one who fired the arrow. Seeing that his question wouldn’t be answered Chu Kong was a little bit upset but he continued his battle.
“KILL ALL OF CHOI GUILD!” yelled Chu Kong.
“YEAAAAAA!” yelled all the Crow guild members.
Someplace in the dark where the battle was being held there were two shadowy figures standing there discussing something.
“Did you see just now? It seems that the masked man is someone that Chu Kong Knows. Our plan is dangerous, if we attack the Crow guild after this battle, we might make the masked man our enemy, I don’t think it worth the trouble. We will all be wiped out.” Said one of the men.
“Same here, I will rather work with him than go against him. I will support Chu Kong.” Said the other man.
“Me too” both agreed to support the Chu Kong.

Kang-Ho had good a reason to save Chu Kong, if he were to die today at the battle field more leaders would rise up for the throne of Busan city. the battle for power would continue for a long time. Meanwhile where they contend for power there is bound to be fights, which would make the city dangerous. Kang-Ho wanted the city to be in peace, he didn’t want there to be any chaos, for the safety of his family. Today by saving Chu Kong Kang-Ho accomplished two goals. First is he made Chu Kong the prime candidate to hold power in the Busan city and on the second he made sure destruction of Choi Guild.
