Chapter 151
…
Meanwhile, the White Tiger Guild, which was tracking down the villains, was going through terrible difficulties.
“Vice President, the traces of the villains have been lost again.”
“…Is that so.”
Baek Mi-ho frowned at the guild member’s report.
There were particularly dense forests and mountains around Jisan Prison located in Pocheon City.
So, the White Tiger Guild has been closely tracking all the predictable movement routes of villains in Bojangsan Mountain, Bulmusan Mountain, and Eunjangsan Mountain along the Hantangang River for two days already.
But the result was always the same.
“Teams B and C also contacted us saying they missed the trace.”
“…”I see.”
Nodding his head, Baek Mi-ho scanned the sunny, sun-drenched ridge with a mixed gaze.
Whiing-
A cool wind blew through the mountain ridge.
In a dense forest.
It was a perfect environment for villains to hide, but they were nowhere to be found.
“….”
Baek Mi-ho put together in his head all the clues he had found out so far.
‘At some point, the villains who escaped from Jisan Prison dispersed.’
At first, when I saw the traces, I considered the possibility that the villains were divided due to a conflict of opinion at the same time as the prison escape.
In reality, that was the most likely possibility.
In the first place, they were united for one purpose: to escape from prison.
Hwang Dong-seok, the leader, was only a C-level villain, so Hwang Dong-seok’s leadership could not have been maintained by the villains forever.
‘But those scattered traces disappeared? And that too, without even one person left?’
Is this a coincidence?
‘No way.’
A special purpose was felt in the villains’ actions.
In the end, the purpose could not help but come down to one conclusion.
“…No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s divided. “It seems like they dispersed and promised to gather again in a specific area.”
The guild member nodded with a heavy expression at Baek Mi-ho’s words.
“I think so too. It’s hard to believe, but it seems like all 500 people are moving with one purpose. I don’t know what the purpose is, but the probability is high… ….”
“Hwang Dong-su, I guess.”
“….”
The guild members were silent at Baek Mi-ho’s words.
He had no choice but to hold back his words.
If an S-class villain had been involved, this would not have been normal.
Baek Mi-ho sighed softly and continued.
“In the end, the possibility that Hwang Dong-soo was involved in this incident is increasingly increasing.”
“I heard that you received information from Hunter Seong Su-ho that the probability of that happening is low.”
“Yes, I heard that.”
Baek Mi-ho muttered, recalling the information given to her by Su-ho.
“Brothers Hwang Dong-seok and Hwang Dong-soo are not close to each other.”
This was information that Su-ho learned as soon as he met Kang Tae-sik, and in return, Baek Mi-ho shared with Su-ho all the routes that the Baekho guild is currently searching.
Thanks to that information, Suho began tracking the remaining areas, with Gray at the head.
As agreed in advance, they were cooperating and sharing information.
Baek Mi-ho was greatly relieved after hearing the information Su-ho gave her.
The value of the information was so significant that Kang Tae-sik, a professional bounty hunter, only told it specifically to Su-ho.
In the first place, the most representative reason why other hunters were concerned about this mass escape was the possibility that Hwang Dong-su was involved.
“Maybe that information is wrong. No, rather than saying it’s wrong, no matter how conflicted we may be, from my younger brother’s perspective, I probably wouldn’t want my older brother to die.”
“Blood is thicker than water…”Is that so?”
Baek Mi-ho’s expression became confused at the guild member’s words.
The most unwanted thing was gradually becoming a reality.
The power of an S-class awakened person is truly a natural disaster.
Hwang Dong-su could never handle it with just the power of the Baekho Guild currently deployed.
‘Of course, if you do your best, you can cause at least some damage, but….’
Instead, they will have to risk their lives.
Perhaps even annihilation had to be prepared.
‘After all, the only thing that can deal with an S-class is the same S-class.’
After organizing his thoughts, Baek Mi-ho finally made a decision.
“As expected, I have to ask my father, or rather the boss, for support.”
“yes! “We will contact you right away!”
As soon as Baek Mi-ho finished speaking, a guild member immediately contacted the president’s office.
And after a while, the answer came back.
“The boss also said he would rush to Pocheon as soon as possible!”
Baek Mi-ho breathed a sigh of relief at those words.
The reason Baek Yun-ho, the president of the Baekho Guild, did not step forward in this situation from the beginning was extremely simple.
Because I’m busy.
This was not simply a question of ransom.
The very few S-class hunters were running around frantically at this very moment, taking on the most dangerous places among the country’s dungeons.
So, like now, all matters that required legwork were handled by Baek Mi-ho, the vice president.
That was the most efficient, and it was also the most effective way to protect the safety of citizens from dungeons and demonic beasts.
but.
‘Now I’ve sold all my feet.’
The work they had done so far was not in vain.
After all those areas were removed using the elimination method, there were only a few areas left.
And one of them is right over there.
‘Yamiri.’
At that moment, Baek Mi-ho was leading the guild members to a small village in Pocheon City that had not been searched until now.
Then, Baek Mi-ho suddenly remembered.
‘Oh, now that I think about it, this is the direction that Hunter Seong Su-ho said he would search.’
In that case, Hunter Seong Su-ho would probably have passed by that village as well.
Considering that no contact had been made yet, there was a high possibility that no traces had been found in that village either.
Even if you look at it from a distance now, it looks too quiet to say anything happened.
Baek Mi-ho gave an order to the guild members with a bitter smile.
“We will pass through the village as quickly as possible so that the citizens will not be anxious.”
And as soon as I stepped into Yamiri Village, the village was as quiet and peaceful as I saw it from the outside.
Should I say that it is like a town on the outskirts?
A quiet atmosphere where you can’t even see people walking around on the streets….
Creepy.
“What?”
At that moment, Baek Mi-ho noticed the strange atmosphere of Yamiri Village, and her expression hardened.
And that was the same for the members of the White Tiger Guild, which was made up of beast hunters.
“Vice President! “Something is strange!”
“I didn’t feel any signs of people in the village…!”
* * *
And that time.
“White Tiger Guild?”
The White Tiger Guild was also seen in the eyes of Guardian, who was continuing the battle by moving in the direction indicated by Ber to find Harmakan.
At that moment, members of the Baekho guild, led by Baekmiho, were entering Yamiri Village.
Suho, who was approaching the place through a hectic battle, could not help but be embarrassed.
Suddenly, a system message he had never seen before appeared in front of him.
Tiring!
[You cannot leave the dungeon. Defeat the boss or use the hearthstone.]
“hmm? what?”
Suho knocked on the transparent wall blocking his path with a puzzled expression.
Boom, boom!
“Is it a barrier?”
But an even more curious thing happened next.
“Vice President! Something is strange… ….”
“The presence of people in the village… ….”
Slurp.
On the other hand, the White Tiger Guild members who were entering the village were able to walk through the transparent barrier without any problem.
And with that wall as the boundary, their figures disappeared from Suho’s sight.
“uh?”
Suho’s eyes widened.
It seemed like there was a different space between here and beyond, bordered by this invisible wall.
As Suho tried to force himself to leave, he received another message.
Tiring.
[You cannot leave the dungeon. Defeat the boss or use the hearthstone.]
Ber, aware of the situation, touched the transparent wall with a serious expression.
[This can’t be right….]
“Do you know anything?”
[It looks like we are now in an instance dungeon.]
“Instance dungeon?”
Suho made a puzzled expression.
As far as he knew, there were two types of dungeons.
Normal dungeons and field-type dungeons entered through gates.
But what about instance dungeons?
Regardless of whether such a dungeon existed, he had never even set foot in the gate in the first place.
“Did we pass through the gate without us knowing?”
[It’s not that kind of problem. In the first place, an instance dungeon is not a dungeon that exists.]
There was another reason why Ber became serious.
[Instance dungeons are dungeons developed by Candiaru, the designer of the level-up system. And the purpose is only….]
It was to help Seong Jin-woo, who was the Shadow Lord’s vessel, grow!
Suho’s expression hardened at Ber’s explanation.
“A dungeon developed by Candiaru? But how did Harmakan create it?”
Meanwhile, Harmakan’s huge hand was attacking the guardian trapped in the village.
Crumbling!
Suho dodged the attack and his eyes lit up.
“Well, you’ll know if you ask directly.”
[yes. It is just around the corner.]
Thanks to Ver, it was Su-ho who discovered the exact location where Harmacan was hiding.
He violently smashed through the wall of the only commercial building that was unharmed despite this natural disaster and entered.
Boom!
[Hey, you guy! How dare you find me!]
Harmakan, who was hiding inside, gritted his teeth and recited a spell.
[But just because you found me doesn’t mean you can kill me! Because the spell has already been completed!]
Harma Khan quickly spread his hands and unfolded his magic formation.
Kaaaaaa-!
Numerous ghosts swirled from his hands and attacked Suho.
But Suho was not fooled.
“It’s a genjutsu all the way.”
As he dodged the ghosts, he stretched out his hand and blew Volkan’s horn aside.
‘The power of the ruler!’
Chop-chop-chawn!
A dazzling beam of light began to cut through the entire space, creating numerous straight lines.
and.
bang!
[…] …Pfft.]
…
Something amazing happened.
With a short groan, Volkan’s horn stuck in the empty air.
Slurp.
At that moment, the real Harmakan that was hiding there began to slowly reveal itself.
Volkan’s horn was pierced in the middle of his bony body.
[Dae, how on earth….]
At that moment, something strange happened.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The moment when Harmacan, the center of this shaman group, was directly attacked.
An invisible wave centered around his body and spread out in all directions.
Tiring.
[Contaminated mana is purified.]
[Contaminated mana is purified.]
The ghosts of the Death Knights that had been contaminated by Harmakan’s shamans began to be purified one by one.
But for now, that was probably good for Harmakan.
[This power… ….]
Harmakan was looking down at Volkan’s horn that had pierced him with a very embarrassed expression.
The reason he was surprised was not simply because Su-ho was not fooled by the hallucination and found the place where he was hiding.
This was because he noticed that the power contained in Volkan’s horn was the ‘power of the ruler.’
[How on earth can you use the power of a ruler? …!]
Harmakan shouted at Suho with an expression filled with astonishment.
Originally, the ruler’s power was not simply telekinesis.
That power, as the name suggests, can only be used by rulers… ….
It was a symbol of angels born from light and a unique ability that allowed them to fly in the sky.
Their sky soldiers could fly using wings, but their rulers could fly without wings.
And the ability that made it possible was the ‘power of the ruler.’
But how?
How on earth could a mere human being use this power?
[Surely there are fragments of the rulers… …No, that can’t be possible.]
Harmakan, who saw Suho’s appearance right before his eyes, was able to make a statement.
It’s clear that he’s an unusual human, but hasn’t he been using the power of a canine lord or a strong-body lord ever since?
A force that is opposite to the rulers.
Then suddenly.
[No, wait.]
Harmacan’s eyes soon began to become filled with fear as he realized the incredible truth.
[Seo, no way you….]
Descendants of the Fang Lords?
Descendants of the Lord of the Strong Body?
No, that can’t be!
It was impossible to inherit the power of monarchs born in the dark and at the same time use the power of a ruler born in the light.
But there was just one exception.
[You are the Shadow Lord… …!]
Stand tall.
At those words, Suho, who had been running to defeat the surrounding ghosts and Death Knights and finish off Harmakan, suddenly stopped.
Then he looked a little embarrassed and muttered.
“…”Oh, I got caught.”
and.
Sigh.
Suddenly, his eyes looked around at the fallen Death Knights around him.
“Then there’s nothing you can do.”
[Shadow extraction is possible.]
[Shadow extraction is possible.]
….
Numerous messages float above the shadows of purified Death Knights.
Suho slowly raised the corner of his mouth with a somewhat relieved expression.
“Get up.”
Shwaaaaaaaa!
[…] …?!]
At that moment, numerous shadows surrounding Harmacan began to rise at once.
Chapter 152
…
Ahhh!
Hwang Dong-seok.
His soul was screaming in the dark, shedding bloody tears.
His entire body, except for his face, was bound in blood-stained chains.
The chain not only wrapped itself around his body, but also passed through his soul, or was rooted at one end.
This chain was the curse of punishment that Harmakan engraved on Chalcolitha’s soul and the prison of his sins in which he would remain locked up for eternity even after his death.
Ahhh…!
Hwang Dong-seok cries out in pain.
There was no way his soul could escape this infinite pain.
All he can do is.
Screaming.
Crying.
suffering.
All I could do was grit my teeth and shed bloody tears in this hellish prison that was squeezing my soul to the limit.
It was then.
-Get up.
Finally, a voice of salvation was heard above his head, calling to his soul.
Hwang Dong-seok raised his head, shedding bloody tears.
Patter.
At that moment, the chain broke.
Harmakan’s curse, which seemed to last forever, was dissipating.
The limbs were liberated.
Hwang Dong-seok raised his body.
but.
Ahhh…!
The bloody tears did not stop flowing from his eyes.
The chain of curse was broken, but the prison of sin that imprisoned him was still constricting his soul.
Armor of evil spirits.
The Death Knight’s Curse was specially created by Harmakan to trap evil spirits.
Even though the chain of this armor was broken, it still squeezed Dongseok Chalk’s soul to the limit and caused him terrible pain.
But to a Death Knight, pain is power itself.
Ironically, in proportion to the pain Hwang Dong-seok felt, the armor he was wearing became stronger.
so that….
[Shadow Slave Lv.1]
elite level
The spirit of Hwang Dong-seok, wearing the armor of an evil spirit, rose from the shadows, shedding bloody tears.
He became a shadow soldier, but the pain he felt remained, and the number of evil spirits like him gradually increased.
[Shadow Slave Lv.1]
[Shadow Slave Lv.1]
[Shadow Slave Lv.1]
….
Ahhh!
Full body armor with swirling black vapor.
Terrible screams came out from the mouths of dozens of Death Knights wearing evil spirit armor created by Harmakan.
It was a cry of pain and at the same time a roar of anger towards Harmakan, who had dressed them in such terrible armor.
“Full force attack.”
At that moment, an order from the guardian was given to them.
[Kaaaa!]
[Kaaaaaa-!]
Harmakan could not help but be taken aback by their fierce, fierce attacks.
“Oh my… …!”
Harmakan hurriedly summoned ghosts to counter their attacks.
Sigh!
At the same time, he pulled out Volkan’s horn that was stuck in his body, and blood spurted out.
Harmakan formed a water hole in the air with the blood and shouted a curse.
“You evil spirits who dare to rebel against me! “Cursed be you all!”
At that moment, the bloody smell spread all around him.
[Harmacan, the war chief of the Demonic Tribe, uses ‘Skill: Damage Amplification.’]
[Increases the damage received by those cursed.]
[Even a normal attack will result in fatal wounds.]
‘Amplification of damage?’
Suho’s eyebrows rose as the system messages appeared one after another.
Harmakan’s curse was applied to all shadow soldiers.
Then, the attacks of his ghosts began to cause much greater damage to the shadow soldiers.
At the same time, Harmakan unleashed a new curse.
“The land of death will come here!”
[Harmacan, the war chief of the Demonic Tribe, uses ‘Skill: Exploitation.’]
[Harmakan recovers health equal to 2% of the damage inflicted on the opponent.]
Shwaaagh!
Then, whenever the ghosts attacked the shadow soldiers, Harmakan’s wounds from Volkan’s horn began to heal quickly.
Ber was amazed by the amazing appearance and shouted to Suho.
[Solord! This guy is good at curses!]
“I know. “The connection is quite good.”
Should I call him the great chief of a tribe?
A curse that amplifies damage and then absorbs a certain amount of the amplified damage.
It was a fairly annoying connection.
but.
“It means nothing to me.”
Suho looked at the messages that appeared in front of him with a meaningful smile on his face.
[A curse has been detected.]
[The treatment begins with the effect of ‘Blessing: Healthy Longevity’.]
[3, 2, 1…The task has been completed.]
—
Shwaaak!
Harmakan’s curse that resided in Suho’s body was instantly washed away and disappeared.
The blessing received from Kandiaru, the great shaman of the Demon Race, ‘Healthy Longevity’, has overcome the curse of Harmacan, the Great Chief of the Demon Race.
“It is clear which of the two is superior.”
At the same time, Harmakan also noticed this and looked at Suho with an expression of astonishment.
“Candiaru’s blessing?! As expected, you are related to the Shadow Lord! Could it be his successor!”
It was a surprise at first, but soon Harmakan began to feast on Suho with eyes filled with greed.
“Hehe! Is there such a windfall? “I thought today would only be a loss, but I never thought I would discover such valuable research material!”
That moment.
Whioooooooo!
All the ghosts around Harmakan were swirled around and sucked in.
At the same time, Harmakan’s momentum began to grow bigger and bigger in front of the guardian.
Crumbling!
[Harmacan, the war chief of the demon race, appears.]
“…!”
Harmakan escaped from the body of the head of Yamiri Village, who was possessed by him, and revealed his true form!
[Gaaaa!]
[Gaaaaaa!]
At that moment, the Death Knights and shadow slave soldiers who were freed from the ghosts rushed at him all at once with explosive force.
…Quang!
Surprisingly, all of them were bounced back by a repulsive force that exceeded the momentum of the rush.
“Hahaha!”
At the center of it all, a strange energy was swirling around the body of Harmacan, who was bursting out laughing.
[Harmacan, the war chief of the Demonic Tribe, uses ‘Skill: Thorn of Pain.’]
[All pain and damage Harmacan receives is shared with the attacking target.]
“A thorn of pain?”
As the shadow slave soldiers were instantly annihilated with just one blow, Suho frowned.
‘It’s a skill that reflects the damage received and returns it to you.’
Of course, Harmakan himself could not be safe from pain and damage.
But the problem is amplification of damage and exploitation.
The curse skill used before was the problem.
‘You share the pain, but you increase the damage your opponent receives by amplifying damage, and at the same time, you recover with exploitation skills?’
Isn’t the linking of skills truly extremely efficient?
“…”He’s a really fun guy.”
Suho chuckled and pushed back all the shadow slave soldiers who were repairing their damaged bodies.
And after he ordered all the shadow soldiers to kill the Harmakan Death Knights that were still swarming the village.
“Esil!”
Now that he has discovered the boss mob, he decides to go all out on this side as well.
Shwaaagh!
Volkan’s horn, which Harmacan had pulled out of his body and thrown away, flew through the air and was caught by the guardian’s hand.
Esil, who heard Suho’s call and rushed over, cast spirit form without saying a word.
[Volkan’s horn feasts on the devil’s soul.]
[Equip ‘Item: Volkan’s Horn’.]
[‘Buff: Desire for Destruction’ is applied, increasing physical damage by 300%.]
“Oh, devil’s horns?!”
Suddenly, two horns sprouted on the guardian’s head, and Harmakan’s eyes filled with astonishment.
“How can a descendant of the Shadow Lord use the power of a demon noble!”
But it’s still too early to be surprised.
Kangshin.
Giant’s armor.
The wind in the meadows.
Gang body art.
Suho applied all the skills to his body.
Every time that happened, Harmakan’s eyes grew bigger as if they were about to pop out.
“This is ridiculous! No matter how much he is a descendant of the Shadow Lord, how can he possess so many different powers with a mere human body? …!”
Hwioooo.
The now gigantic guardian walked towards Harmacan, his silver hair flowing.
“I know that? They say my father was a necromancer. “Then what am I?”
Long strides.
As he approached Harmacan, the smile on Suho’s lips grew stronger.
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
The two fists, engulfed by the guardian’s powerful body technique, began to rain down on Harmacan in earnest.
A huge explosion erupted from each shot.
The aftermath turned the entire area upside down.
“Hey, Innoom! no use!”
Harmakan gritted his teeth and shouted, repelling all the attacks.
“No matter how much of Candiaru’s blessing you have, the thorn of pain is a curse to me!”
[Harmacan, the war chief of the Demonic Tribe, uses ‘Skill: Thorn of Pain.’]
[All pain and damage harmakan receives is shared with the player.]
I’m crying.
At that moment, blood poured out from Suho’s mouth, who was attacking without hesitation.
As Suho becomes stronger, the returning force also becomes stronger.
Seeing this, the corner of Harmakan’s mouth twitched and a bizarre laugh burst out.
“Kkkkkk! Yeah, I know you’re a big guy! But how long can you last?”
Boom boom boom!
Of course, blood was flowing from Harmakan’s mouth, which was taking the guardian’s attack intact.
But Harmakan was confident.
“You know what! This is an instance dungeon created with Candiaru’s legacy! And I am the king of this dungeon! That means all the ghosts who died on this earth are giving me strength!”
Instance Dungeon.
Candiaru’s legacy was discovered by chance in the world of illusions.
Since I began studying it in earnest, Harmakan’s power has become incredibly strong.
It was because of this that he, who was just an ordinary tribal chieftain, was able to rise to the level of war chief.
“You only have Candiaru’s blessing, but I am different! “I, Harmacan, am a disciple of Kandiaru, the greatest shaman of the Demon Race!”
Candiaru’s disciple.
The implications of those words were truly enormous.
The power of Candiaru, the great shaman who designed the level-up system, was once so great that even the next monarch of the Demon Race was afraid.
His power was such that Harmakan became war chief just by discovering a part of Candiaru’s legacy.
So, no matter how much Candiaru’s blessing protects the guardian.
This land of death, the instance dungeon, was also Candiaru’s legacy… ….
“Haha! Go for it wherever you want! The stronger your power, the more it will eventually eat away at itself… ….”
But then.
“You have a long tongue.”
Creepy.
For a moment, Harmakan couldn’t help but feel an eerie feeling at Suho’s words.
‘Now, wait a minute.’
Something was strange.
Now that I think about it, Suho has been sharing all the pain from before and hasn’t stopped attacking at all.
Are you sick?
Of course, it hurts.
but.
‘What do you think?’
Suho was smiling even though blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
“I’m also confident in my tenacity.”
When Suho lay down to sleep, Ber would sit next to him and tell him old stories.
Although most of the stories were things that Ber had personally seen and experienced, there were also some stories about Seong Jin-woo’s younger days that Ber had heard about.
‘My father also did something called a job change quest.’
The profession was first given to his father was said to be a necromancer.
It was probably the first job given according to the design of the level-up system, gradually increasing strength until the size of the bowl became suitable.
However, his father had grown beyond the design of the system, and he was able to immediately become a Shadow Lord.
At that time, his father’s level was only 40.
However, even though he was over level 40 and was looking at level 50, he wasn’t doing any job advancement quests.
The reason was obvious.
The level-up system is solely for creating a vessel for the Shadow Lord.
The job change quests were all just a fa?ade, and in the end, they were just steps for my father to grow into a suitable person.
That’s why Suho couldn’t be a necromancer, a shadow lord, or anything else.
[Occupation: None]
Suho’s eyes shined intensely as he looked at the top section of the status window, which had been blank from the beginning.
‘…therefore.’
Even if you don’t have a job.
Even without job change quests.
What do you think?
‘It’s okay if I decide.’
For now, he just trusts this strong body he inherited from his father.
All you have to do is use all your strength to crush and crush the enemy that appears in front of you and move forward.
Just do that first and that’s it.
“So now I’m a barbarian.”
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Barbarian.
A warrior who withstands all pain with tenacity and attacks with all his might against a powerful enemy.
“I decided that way.”
Tiring!
[You have learned ‘Skill: Martial Arts Lv.1’.]
At that moment, his two fists gained even more strength.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Finally, a scream of pain came from Harmakan’s mouth.
Chapter 153
…
He village was quiet.
It was too quiet.
So it even looked peaceful.
Baek Mi-ho also thought that way until she found out the truth.
“Vice President! “This house is empty too!”
“There’s no one in this mall either!”
As she continued to hear reports, she frowned and looked around her.
‘I just don’t know. ‘What on earth happened in this town?’
That shouldn’t be the case, but if at least a human body had been found here, there would have been some clue as to what was going on.
However, she checked all over the village, but there was no one anywhere.
‘How is this possible?’
It was a situation that made absolutely no sense.
If all the villagers had left the village, at least there should have been traces of their movements.
But not even the slightest trace remained.
It’s like… …Doesn’t it seem like all the citizens of this town have disappeared in an instant?
“Vice President, none of the villains at Jisan Prison have the skills to cause this phenomenon.”
“…yes. I know.”
In the end, there was only one thing to doubt in this unrealistic situation.
“Is it possible that a gate has opened somewhere in this town?”
“It’s realistic, but there’s no blue fog.”
“….”
Yes.
To say that a dungeon had occurred, the blue fog flowing from inside the gate was nowhere to be seen.
Baek Mi-ho picked up her cell phone with a serious expression as she continued to hear reports from the guild members who were searching the village.
“I need to contact the association first….”
It was then.
Damn it!
Above their heads.
A crack appeared in the clear sky.
“…!”
“Hey, over there!”
“Look at the sky!”
All the hunters’ heads rose upward at the sound of someone’s shout.
Damn it! Damn it!
And that moment.
The cracks in the sky cracked and splintered even more, and began to shatter and collapse like glass.
Gurgling!
“W-what!”
“Everyone gather together!”
“yep!”
As soon as White Tiger’s abstract command was issued, the White Tiger guild members spread out in her village and gathered around her at a tremendous speed.
“Ready for battle!”
Chachachachacha!
Even before her command was over, the eyes of the White Tiger guild members, who had already completed all battle stances, were burning with fighting spirit.
But something even more surprising happened next.
Finally, the transparent barrier that surrounded the entire village of Yamiri like a dome shattered.
Let’s go!
“…!”
At that moment, the hunters of the White Tiger Guild covered their noses in surprise.
“Woof!”
“This, this smell…?!”
Suddenly, the terrible smell of blood began to emanate from all directions.
I thought the sky would collapse and the ground would collapse or the buildings would collapse, but that expectation was completely different.
The scenery of the village had not changed at all.
The only thing that has changed is that people who had disappeared have reappeared.
But it was anything but peaceful.
Numerous corpses with white bones exposed were strewn about on the blood-covered floor.
The village was spread across the village in such a terrible way that it seemed as if life had been sucked out of it.
“Could it be that all these citizens have disappeared….”
But then.
“…!”
“Yes, it’s a person!”
Hunters saw.
On top of the tragedy revealed like this.
A man standing tall in the middle of it all.
Baek Mi-ho immediately recognized who he was and opened her eyes wide.
“Hunter Seong Su-ho?!”
“…ah.”
Only then did Suho raise his head and turn his gaze to the hunters of the White Tiger Guild who were looking at him.
And when he made eye contact with Baek Mi-ho, he smiled faintly.
“It just so happened. “I didn’t want to bother counting them all, but could you count them for me to see if there are 500 people?”
“…yes?”
At Suho’s words, the hunters were startled and turned their heads to look at the white skeletons around them.
“Then all these corpses?!”
And my eyes grew wide.
“omg! “He’s a villain!”
“All these corpses are villains!”
“What?!”
Surprisingly, the ankle bones of corpses that had turned white were filled with electronic anklets!
“It’s true!”
“Then how can these many villains… …?”
“You killed that person by yourself?”
After confirming the truth, everyone’s attention once again focused on Suho.
Even amid so many gazes filled with extreme astonishment, Suho just sighed, wiping away his blood-and-sweat-soaked hair.
“after. “I feel uncomfortable.”
Even if you level up, the only thing restored is your physical strength.
My clothes were still soaked with blood and sweat, so I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
‘I guess I should go back and take a shower.’
Trudging.
“….”
I flinch.
When Baek Mi-ho saw Su-ho slowly walking towards him, he barely managed to avoid taking a step backward without realizing it.
There was something strange about him.
‘I didn’t feel this way when we met yesterday.’
What on earth happened to him?
No, what on earth is that guy?
It was so strange.
The Suho I met today felt like a completely different person from the Suho I met yesterday.
Baek Mi-ho’s senses, which had raised his beast transformation skill to the limit, were screaming for him to run away from Su-ho right now.
“Baek Mi-ho.”
“…yes?!”
Seeing Baek Mi-ho startled, Su-ho chuckled and passed by her.
And just keep things simple.
“Please do some post-processing here. As you can see, I am alone… …. Oh, and the bounty is all mine?”
“Now, wait a minute!”
“…?”
Baek Mi-ho finally mustered up the courage to urgently call Su-ho over and ask him the most important thing.
“If these corpses are all villains, where are all the citizens who lived in this town? No way, everyone is dead… ….”
At those words, Suho lowered his head for a moment and stared at his feet.
“…?”
Baek Mi-ho’s gaze followed him and went down to his feet, but there was nothing there.
Other than his shadow.
“Could it be that all the citizens are buried underground…?” ….”
“ah!”
“Kya?!”
When Suho suddenly raised his head, Baek Miho was startled and screamed.
Then, seeing Suho cover his mouth with both hands in surprise, Suho said with a grin.
“Fortunately, there seem to be quite a few people still alive. “Go towards the village hall.”
“…!”
As Suho said, I went to the village hall and found quite a few people passed out there.
Everyone’s complexion looked bad, as if their blood had been sucked by some kind of vampire, but their lives were still alive.
“What the hell is this…” ….”
“what….”
All Baekho guild members, including Baekmiho, looked at Suho again with questioning eyes.
But Suho just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
“Couldn’t there have been a villain who absorbed the vitality of others? It’s a good idea to save them up to use them whenever you need them, and you’ll be able to manage hostages effectively.
“…?”
No way.
The Baekho Guild had all the information about the villains at Jisan Prison.
There was no such similar skill anywhere.
So what is it?
Has someone been hiding such a skill like Suho said until now?
“Vice President.”
Just then, the guild members who were searching near the village hall returned to Baek Mi-ho and reported.
“The bodies of many dead citizens were found in this area.”
“When we checked the citizens’ causes of death, they were all caused by the skills of the villains listed in the information.”
“I don’t see any other bounty hunters around.”
“I…”Except for Hunter.”
“…okay.”
Baek Mi-ho nodded his head.
Her mind was still confused.
What on earth happened in this town?
Citizens who were killed by villains outside the community center and citizens who were trapped inside the community center and had their life sucked out of them.
but.
‘One thing is certain.’
Hunter Seong Su-ho.
This man killed all 500 villains.
As a result, he saved the lives of all the citizens who were still alive.
he is…He was a hero.
“Hunter Seong Su-ho.”
Baek Mi-ho, who understood the situation, walked in front of Su-ho, who was about to return home.
Then she bowed politely and said hello.
“Thank you.”
“….”
“Thanks to you, the citizens of this town were able to survive.”
As soon as Baekmiho finished speaking, the hunters of the Baekho Guild who were standing behind her all bowed towards Suho.
“thank you.”
“thank you.”
“thank you.”
Suho’s expression couldn’t help but become serious as well, looking at their solemn expressions.
‘White Tiger Guild.’
Suho was able to see why they were the most respected guild in Korea.
Numerous hunters attack dungeons chasing only money.
No one criticized their actions as they pursued practical interests and engaged in battle.
Because it was only natural for a person with the ability to chase money.
but.
At least it wasn’t the hunters in front of her.
These were hunters who were truly hunting down demonic beasts to protect the citizens.
Sensing their sincerity, Suho also bowed his head politely and responded to their greetings.
* * *
“….”
Suho was sitting leisurely on a mountainside far from Yamiri Village, watching the White Tiger Guild rescue survivors.
[…] …Solord.]
Suddenly, Ber’s voice came from behind him.
[This guy still has some strength left.]
“Take one step.”
[…] …yep.]
Harmakan, who was lying down with his head buried behind Suho’s words, hurriedly lifted one of his legs.
His trembling legs looked even more pitiful.
[Harmacan Lv.1]
Elite Knight Grade
Thanks to defeating Harmakan and raising the level, the number of shadow soldiers that can be stored has also increased.
Thanks to that, Suho was able to extract Harmacan’s shadow, and this was the result.
‘It’s an elite knight level.’
Harmakan seemed like a very difficult person to deal with, but he became the highest-ranking soldier so far.
However, just because he had a high grade did not mean he had good physical strength.
Since Harmakan’s true power lies in powerful curses and magic, he was suffering greatly from this simple pretense.
He has committed evil deeds so far, so he will continue to do so from time to time… ….
[master.]
At that time, a shadow soldier suddenly appeared in the empty air.
Then he knelt in front of Suho and earnestly bowed his head and asked.
[Please give me a name too….]
‘Oh, now that I think about it, there was this guy.’
Suddenly, Suho’s eyes looked at him.
Kang Tae-sik was a bounty hunter.
His talent as a shadow assassin was confirmed in actual combat.
However, the name above his head was different from the first time.
[?? [Lv.5]
knight rank
‘I guess it’s because the number of shadow soldiers that can be stored has increased. But your level has already risen as much as mine?’
It was level 1 at first, but how much did this guy do in just one day?
Suho thought for a moment as he looked at Kang Tae-sik’s soul, which was solemnly awaiting his disposition.
Name, name… ….
Suho thought about the name for a moment, then smiled and opened his mouth.
“Kira.”
It was because I suddenly remembered the name of a character in a cartoon I watched a long time ago who had no hesitation in committing murder.
“From now on, your name will be Kira.”
[Thank you, master.]
As Suho chose the name, the soul of shadow assassin Kang Tae-sik turned his bowed head even lower.
At that moment, information was updated above his head.
[Kira Lv.5]
knight rank
Chapter 154
…
“Okay, now….”
After giving me the name Kira.
Suho’s gaze turned to the side.
Even though the Jisan Prison incident was solved, there was a reason why Su-ho still stayed around.
When-
This guy.
It was because of Arsha, the queen bee, who accidentally found out Suho’s identity.
[Suho, my body has already left this place. therefore…Even if you search for me like this, it’s all in vain… …Squeak.]
As Ver squeezed her power into the hand that was holding Arsha, Arsha’s doll-sized body was squeezed.
But that was all just an act.
An alter ego is an empty shell made by combining several bees, with only the spirit connected to the main body.
Even if the empty shell was slightly crushed, she would not feel any pain.
[Little Lord, we must find him and kill him anyway. It would be a really big problem if this queen bee were to collude with the apostles of Italim in the future.]
Ber had a serious expression.
When Suho revealed his shadow power while fighting Harmacan with all his might.
Arsha, who was nearby, also noticed Suho’s true identity.
So, the moment Suho defeats Harmakan the instance dungeon is terminated.
He immediately released all the shadow soldiers in all directions to search for Arsha’s main body.
However, even with the use of both Esil and Gray, who had excellent senses, finding Arsha’s true body was not an easy task.
The reason was that this area was entirely made up of dense forests and mountains.
Since there were so many flying insects living in the forest, Pocheon City was the optimal environment for bees to hide.
Tsk.
Suho eventually clicked his tongue and gave up his desire to find Arsha’s body.
He didn’t give up though.
Catching and killing them would be the best and easiest way, but there was also a second method.
‘Maybe this might be better.’
“Arsha.”
Suho looked straight into Arsha’s small eyes and asked directly.
“Are you doing this because you’re curious as to why you can feel Quresha’s energy in me right now?”
I flinch.
“She could have run away a long time ago if she had wanted to.”
Arsha’s small body trembled as those words hit her in the head.
And then he looked up at Suho’s face with an awkward expression.
[know…You were there.]
As Su-ho said, Arsha’s body could have escaped right now by splitting her body with numerous punishments.
But why is Arsha still languishing here, obediently held in Ver’s hands?
“It doesn’t matter if she dies because it’s her body anyway, but there’s no reason for her to take it upon herself to reduce the number of her subordinates.”
And Suho guessed the reason from the beginning.
“You’re probably curious about my exact relationship with Quresha, right?”
[…] …Phew. As expected, you are Suho.]
At those words, Arsha finally sighed softly and confessed her true feelings.
[yes. It is like that.]
Arsha’s voice was trembling with tension.
She, Arsha, has lived for a very long time to become a descendant of Queresha, the King of Bugs and the Lord of Plague.
But for some reason, she was feeling a slight but strong Quresha energy from Suho, and she was very embarrassed.
Of course, the energy was so weak that it was like a kind of pheromone that would not have been noticed by other insects.
‘…It wasn’t like this when we first met.’
Arsha recalled the moment she first met Suho.
Until then, only the scent of an animal was emanating from Suho’s body.
‘So of course I thought they were descendants of the Fang Lord….’
But the problem came after that.
When Suho was fighting his lancer, Lee Min-Seong, he could not only sense the scent of an animal but also different energy.
A poisonous energy was oozing from his entire body.
However, at that time, Arsha did not even think that the identity of the poisonous energy was that of Queresha.
‘I thought it was just poison from Lee Min-seong.’
but.
The moment I saw Suho up close when I met him again today.
Arsha was convinced.
[Suho, have you ever…? ….]
“for a moment.”
Suho interrupted Arsha’s sentence and spoke firmly.
“It’s not difficult to satisfy your curiosity. “It’s not a big secret.”
At those words, Arsha’s eyes instantly sparkled with anticipation.
However, Suho, who saw the reaction, continued speaking with a mischievous smile.
“by the way. “Even if I give you an obedient answer, will you believe me?”
[…] ….]
At those words, Arsha closed her mouth with a serious expression.
Based on her own experience, humans were a species that could lie without any hesitation.
The lies were even so clever that they went far beyond the level of mimicry that insects use to deceive their enemies.
“therefore.”
Suho smiled meaningfully and added one condition.
“Why don’t you take the ‘Pledge of Faithfulness’ with me?”
[…] …?!]
Arsha’s eyes widened at those words.
[How do you, a human being, know the ‘Oath of Faithfulness’?]
A pledge of faithfulness.
It was a covenant that even rulers and monarchs could never deviate from, and that they could never tell lies to each other until the contract was broken.
[That’s because this body taught me.]
Ber looked proud and raised the corners of his mouth.
These days, Ber has developed a hobby of telling old stories to Suho at his bedside whenever he lies down to sleep.
This is kind of like an ant’s instinct.
Just like ants catch food one by one and spoon-feed the larvae until they become adults.
Since Ver still regarded Suho as a caterpillar that needed to be taken care of, he was anxious to teach him something whenever he had the chance.
[Whoa. All right. If it’s for mutual trust… ….]
Arsha eventually accepted Suho’s offer.
But there was a problem.
[But how do you intend to take the oath of faithfulness? The oath of faithfulness cannot be used unless you have power equivalent to that of a ruler or monarch… ….]
“That’s no problem.”
Suho smiled and raised his eyes.
“Right, Quresha?”
Then, as if waiting, an answer came back from a faraway place.
Tiring!
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plague, casts ‘Oath of Faithfulness (Deal).’]
[Once the ‘Oath of Faithfulness (Deal)’ is accepted, the acceptors cannot tell lies to each other.]
[Do you want to accept the ‘Oath of Faithfulness (Deal)’?] (Y/N)
[…] …!]
At that moment, Arsha was so startled that her body trembled.
She suddenly had the energy of the dead Queresha extend through her guardian, and she gave herself her compulsion!
[Uh, how did this happen… …! This is Quresha’s…? You too!]
In response to her confusion, her guardian forced her to answer with a meaningful look in his eyes.
“Now, swear.”
[Everything, I swear.]
Then, Suho also chose to accept.
That moment.
Tiring!
[The ‘Oath of Faithfulness (Deal)’ has been made.]
[Acceptors cannot tell lies to each other until the contract is terminated by mutual consent.]
[The King of Bugs, the Lord of Plague, looks at this situation with a very satisfied expression.]
Even Queresha, who is not usually pleased with Suho, has no choice but to welcome this situation.
Because it meant that her guardian was determined not to kill Arsha, who was likely to be her descendant.
‘Shall we check where only the real truth can be told?’
Suho opened her mouth to confirm the validity of this oath.
“I am… ….”
It worked well.
The moment I was about to tell a lie, my mouth was forcibly shut.
Suho was finally satisfied and asked Arsha.
“Okay then, let’s get started. Arsha, what are you curious about me?”
[Suho, have you become Quresha’s priest?]
It was Arsa who asked a question as if she had been waiting.
Suho obediently nodded his head.
“right. I became a priest of the king of bugs and the lord of pestilence, and received the protection of Quresha.”
[also,!]
At that moment, Arsha asked Suho with her earnest eyes.
[Then please make me one of his…!]
“Okay, now it’s my turn.”
Seeing Suho’s expression as he decisively interrupted Arsha’s words, Arsha couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“I have so many questions about you.”
[…] …Ask anything. I will answer everything.]
Arsha obediently bowed his head.
The role of the priest is to choose the next king.
He had to look good to Su-ho so that he could inherit the power of Queresha.
“Then I will ask. Arsha, are you an apostle of Itarim, or are you in collusion with Itarim?”
[no. Not.]
“Then do you intend to stand on Itarim’s side in the future?”
[no. That will never happen in the future.]
Arsha’s tone was firm.
[All I want is to succeed Quresha and become the king of bugs. I can assure you that no one who claims to be a descendant of a monarch like me will stand on the side of foreign media.]
“The reason is that? “Is there any possibility of an exception?”
[of course…I can’t speak for all races, but the goal of the foreign gods is to consume all the remaining magical energy in our world. The moment their goal is achieved, we all become just a handful of mana and become their prey.]
And that was something no one wanted.
Suho rubbed his chin and nodded.
“Hmm. That means there is no need for us to be at odds with each other.”
[you’re right. So please… ….]
“by the way. “The word ‘us’ doesn’t include humans, right?”
[…] ….]
In response to Suho’s question, Arsha’s mouth was forced to close.
Then she sighed and opened her mouth again.
[That’s right. In the future, I plan to kill and use humans whenever necessary.]
“Then I guess I’ll have to kill you.”
Creepy.
Knowing that Suho’s words were sincere, Arsha could not help but feel fear.
The current guardian was a descendant of the Shadow Lord and even possessed the divine protection of Queresha.
If he tried to kill her in earnest, her fate was that she would eventually be caught by him and die.
[Now, wait a minute! From now on, I promise to only kill people who are defined as villains!]
“Then you could frame him as a villain first and then kill him? “Human laws are imperfect.”
[…] …So what should I do then? If you tell me, I will obey whatever you tell me.]
In the end, Arsha completely turned her back on Suho.
Then he looked at Suho with extremely pitiful eyes and earnestly made a request.
[I can be your slave. Even if I inherit Quresha’s power, I will serve you forever until I die.]
“…”That’s a really interesting thing to say.”
Stand tall in those words.
Suddenly, a great deal of murder erupted from Suho.
[Use ‘Skill: Living.’]
Whoa!
[Sigh…!]
Arsha became melancholy due to his overwhelming killing power, which even contained Queresha’s blessing, and let out her scream.
Suho’s black eyes, filled with a distant abyss, looked down at Arsha with an arrogant gaze.
“Until you die? Aren’t you a colony of numerous bees? “If even one bee dies, that oath will be broken immediately.”
[Sorry! sorry! I never intended to do something like that!]
“okay? Then, appear before me in your true form right now.”
[Well, that’s….]
“why? no?”
Suho asked with a smile on his lips.
“Are you really scared? “Are you afraid I’m going to kill you right away?”
[me…Will you promise not to kill me?]
“No, I plan to kill you at any time.”
[…] ….]
“But I promise I won’t kill you if you don’t go against my wishes.”
[Such an unreasonable promise… ….]
“If you don’t like it, you will live forever as a mere insect, not a descendant of Quresha.”
[…] ….]
Arsha felt deep despair at those words.
in fact…She knew from the beginning.
The fact that this conversation is bound to be against you.
Now, Suho was the absolute best.
Arsha desperately wanted something from Suho, but Suho wanted nothing from Arsha at all.
Rather, if there’s anything he wants, it’s Arsha’s death.
So he had no choice but to suffer this one-sided abuse of power.
Of course, if you obediently follow the abuse, the reward will be certain.
‘Because I will be able to become the king of bugs that I have longed for.’
So, Arsha’s answer was decided from the beginning.
In the end, Arsha nodded her head, looking even more humiliated and desperate.
[Oh, I understand….]
“hmm?”
[Kiek?]
But that was then.
“…!”
[…] …!]
sudden!
Suho and Arsha, plus Ber and Harmacan, who was receiving attention.
They all opened their eyes wide at the same time and turned their heads to look in the same direction.
[Little Lord!]
[Someone is coming!]
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Someone with tremendous magical power was running towards us at high speed along the ridge!
But that power… …!
[S-Class!]
“Could it be Hwang Dong-su?!”
The second reason why Suho remained around here.
It was because of the possibility that Hwang Dong-Sok’s younger brother, Hwang Dong-Su, might appear here after hearing the news.
“Let’s all go in!”
The moment when all the shadow soldiers disappeared at Suho’s command.
Kwaang-!
Finally, ‘he’ arrived in front of Suho.
But he was not Hwang Dong-su.
“Such a terrible smell of blood!”
As soon as he found Su-ho, he radiated ferocious energy from his whole body and struck Su-ho with his sharp white furry fist.
Kwaaang-!
“…!”
He bared his teeth and roared at Suho, who quickly dodged the attack.
Crumble!
“Avoid this? “You’re a villain after all!”
“Uh, isn’t it?”
It’s Suho.
Chapter 155
…
“No, no!”
Ku-kwa-kwang!
The middle-aged man who suddenly appeared did not stop attacking Suho.
His name is Baek Yunho.
He, the guild leader of the White Tiger Guild and an S-class hunter, had rushed to Pocheon City a month after receiving White Tiger’s request for support.
‘I heard that Hwang Dong-su may have been involved in the Jisan Prison escape incident! ‘I never thought I’d find such a strange guy!’
He was truly an unpleasant guy.
Baek Yun-ho could have bet everything on the fact that Su-ho was a villain.
The moment he set foot in Pocheon City, an ominous energy was captured by his highly developed senses!
While chasing that energy, I discovered the terrible smell of blood coming from the body of this suspicious guy!
‘There’s only one of the two who gives off this unpleasant smell!’
Either a villain or a bounty hunter hunting villains.
And Baek Yun-ho was 200% sure that Su-ho was the villain.
Isn’t it so?
There was no way that a person skilled enough to avoid attacks from an S-class person would only chase after villains.
Plus, one more thing.
There was clear evidence to convince us that this suspicious guy was a villain.
“You’re not a villain? Do you think I would be fooled by such a shallow lie? “Hurry up and reveal that ominous power you’ve been hiding!”
Baek Yun-ho constantly pushed Suho, but Suho was able to handle it without difficulty.
But that was because Baek Yunho did not show his full potential.
As an S-class hunter, his power was naturally not at this level.
Just because he was wary of the ‘ominous’ power that Su-ho was hiding, he was also hiding his power as much as possible.
“Ominous power?”
Suho’s brow furrowed at those words.
‘I guess that’s….’
[You seem to be referring to Harmakan, Little Lord.]
Hearing Ver’s whisper, Suho sighed softly.
It was like that.
Harkaman, a demonic race, was a sinister being whose very existence corrupted the souls of others and used that despair as a curse.
He was a useful guy, so I hired him as a shadow soldier, but I never thought it would create such an awkward misunderstanding.
‘We’ll see, Harmakan.’
Suho internally grinds his teeth.
Harmakan sensed his mood and trembled ominously in the shadows.
Weeeeenn-
[…] ….]
Besides, there was another reason why Suho was in a bad mood.
‘Why, at times like this….’
Taking advantage of this moment of panic, Arsha transformed into an ordinary bee and observed the situation from afar.
“Where are you looking? How dare you go easy on me?!”
“Ah-oh.”
There was no time to look away from Baek Yunho’s continued attacks.
Suho grumbled and thought of the most efficient way to end this pointless fight.
Green onions!
Suho immediately turned and started running at full speed.
“Stand there!”
Su-ho suddenly ran away, and Baek Yun-ho chased after him at breakneck speed.
He was truly dumbfounded.
He knows who he is!
Baek Yun-ho was the strongest beast hunter in existence.
Surely that villain knows that fact.
“You wouldn’t know it if you hadn’t been discovered by me in the first place. You don’t think you could fool my senses and run away!”
Of course, if the opponent is an S-class villain like Hwang Dong-soo, things will be different, but just looking at that young guy, that young guy is not Hwang Dong-soo.
I don’t know what kind of power he’s hiding, but he’s not afraid to turn his back on an S-class hunter!
however.
‘W-what is it?’
Something is a little strange.
No, it was very strange!
‘Why is he so fast?’
Baek Yunho could not help but be embarrassed.
No matter how much he chased, the distance between him and the villain running ahead of him was not narrowed.
Of course, playing tag in a forest full of trees was quite tricky.
Because the trees grow irregularly, it is impossible to just run in a straight line.
In this situation, having high agility would be much more helpful than normal strength.
however…
I couldn’t make that excuse when I was watching the guy running right in front of me.
Ujikkeun! Wajikkeun!
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“…”Have you ever seen such an ignorant guy?”
That young guy was running in a straight line, smashing down all the trees blocking his path without avoiding them with his body.
‘Are you using a running skill or a charging skill?’
no.
He didn’t feel like he was using any skills.
Baek Yunho was always on guard for the power he was hiding, so he had an intuition that he had not used the skill right now.
‘…No, that can’t be true. Of course, it’s a skill.’
okay. It would be a skill.
If that’s not a skill, what is it?
There’s no way he could do such an ignorant thing with pure strength… ….
Creepy.
‘Now, wait a minute. Come to think of it!’
Baek Yun-ho, who was following Su-ho, suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
‘Could this be the direction?!’
just as expected.
“…!”
At that moment, the dense forest suddenly ended,
Suddenly the view becomes wide open.
And beyond that, a small village appeared.
At that moment, I saw White Tiger Guild members working hard to rescue the survivors of Yamiri Village.
“Oh my!”
Baek Yun-ho, who realized Su-ho’s intention, was greatly embarrassed.
And he immediately revealed all his hidden power.
Demonic painting.
-Complete transformation.
Quaoooooo!
As he chases Suho, his whole body gradually begins to change into a monster-like appearance.
Because Baek Yun-ho did not want others to see this hideous appearance, he did not give his best unless it was something serious.
But now was not the time for him to think about such things.
At the end of the direction that villain is running right now… …!
It was because he was the vice president of the Baekho Guild and was leading the guild members in the village, and his daughter, Baek Miho!
‘swine! How dare you think of taking my daughter hostage!’
Wow!
From the moment the demonic fire was cast, his speed had already increased tremendously.
And finally, the strong claws that sprouted from his hands were about to scratch the villain’s back.
“hmm? “Hunter Seong Su-ho?”
Baek Mi-ho turned her head and blinked her eyes at the familiar energy she suddenly felt.
“Why did you come back? “Is there something you forgot?”
“Your father’s delivery has arrived.”
“…”My dad?”
chin.
At that moment, Baek Yunho’s body suddenly stiffened.
And he was incredibly embarrassed.
In a completely different sense than before.
“…Oh, father? “Your father?”
first.
It wasn’t my mother.
***
“….”
“….”
A rescue scene in Yamiri Village, where numerous ambulances and healers come and go.
There was an awkward silence in the middle of it all.
“….”
Of course, the only person here making an awkward expression was Baek Yunho.
There was Baek Mi-ho glaring at him with his arms tightly crossed in front of him.
“…dad.”
I flinch.
Baek Yunho’s shoulders shook greatly at his daughter’s cold words.
“Aren’t you going to apologize?”
“Oh, no. Did I feel it? I really felt an unpleasant vibe from that guy… ….”
“So what kind of energy is that?”
“…”I don’t feel it at all right now.”
“Then I guess they buried it while dealing with villains here.”
Baek Yun-ho, who was intimidated by his daughter’s sad look, grovellingly avoided his gaze and muttered in a loud voice.
“No, and the smell of blood lingers all over my body….”
“Of course, it smells like villains’ blood.”
“….”
“Besides, you’re wearing blood-covered clothes like that, so it’s natural that you smell blood.”
“….”
“You know what? There are a whopping 500 people. “This is the number of villains that Hunter Seong Su-ho faced alone today.”
“….”
Baek Mi-ho’s words were not without a single mistake, and the more he gave excuses, the more Baek Yun-ho’s gaze went down to the ground.
“Besides, you haven’t been able to go home yet because of someone else, so you probably haven’t been able to shower.”
“Daughter, the pressure method is a little….”
“Write.”
“….”
Baek Yun-ho, who had gathered up courage for no reason but was not able to get his money back, lowered his head again.
But even in the midst of all this, he still had doubts about Suho.
He could not explain it logically, but his sense was a much more accurate faculty than logic.
‘The energy I felt was not an illusion.’
And it was something extremely ominous that could never be felt in humans.
In the end, Baek Yun-ho decided to trust his own senses.
“Dad, stop.”
“hey.”
No matter what his daughter said behind him, he just walked straight towards Suho.
Then he stretched out his hand and grabbed one of his shoulders, stopping him and saying:
“Did you say your name is Seong Su-ho? From what I heard, you’re a C-rank hunter?”
Ha, that can’t be true.
This guy is a C-rank hunter?
A C-rank hunter defeated all 500 villains by himself?
Rather than believing such nonsense, it would have been more credible to say that a passing dog turned out to be a boss mob.
“Fraudulent registrant.”
Baek Yunho growled softly into Suho’s ear.
Among the hunters, there were a very small number of them who could control magical power.
If those guys wanted to, it was possible to lower their grades when measuring magic power.
Hunters who hid some of their magic power and received a lower grade than their original grade were often called ‘unauthorized registrants.’
and….
“Most of those who registered illegally are perverted killers whose hobby is massacre.”
“…”What do you want to say?”
Seeing Suho looking at him with a shameless expression, Baek Yunho smiled meaningfully and boosted his momentum.
And he pressed Suho hard, carefully engraving Suho’s face into his mind.
“Go to the association right now and get your horsepower remeasured. Of course, even so… …I will continue to keep an eye on you from now on. So, you have to be careful about everything you do… …Hmm?”
But something is strange.
Eyes, nose, mouth.
Baek Yunho’s expression, who had Suho’s face clearly engraved in his mind, became increasingly strange.
“Now, wait a minute. wait for a second!”
Baek Yunho then quickly takes out his cell phone from his pocket.
“No, that can’t be….”
With trembling fingers, he turned on KakaoTalk on his cell phone and checked the profile picture of the senior he admired the most.
Then there…
[Captain Seong Il-hwan]
A photo of a ‘beloved grandchild’ hanging on one’s senior’s profile.
When Baek Yunho saw that, his eyes grew bigger and bigger.
“…Huh? “Uh huh?”
“…?”
