Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Chapter 156-160


Chapter 156

 

Baek Yunho.

If you stop by and ask passers-by in Korea who Baek Yun-ho is, the answers you get will be very diverse.

S-class hunter.

The guild leader of the White Tiger Guild.

Korea’s best beast hunter.

But if you catch them and ask them again, this time ‘what kind of’ Baek Yunho is.

Surprisingly, the answers that came back were almost similar.

as soon as possible.

hero.

Yes.

The president of a large guild?

S-class hunter?

Hunters with that modifier were everywhere in the world.

However, none of them were struggling for the safety of citizens as sincerely as Baek Yun-ho.

Hunters have always been people who work for money.

They all became rich that way.

Of course, such utilitarianism was by no means a bad thing in this obvious capitalist world.

However, even in a world like this, it was natural for a guild that gave up extremely reasonable practicality and sincerely stepped forward to save the citizens to receive praise from the citizens.

That was the case with this villain incident.

Wasn’t the White Tiger Guild the only one that put all their efforts into a case that all hunters neglected, saying it wasn’t worth the money and was just a waste of time?

That’s exactly why people respect Baek Yunho.

Therefore, Baek Yun-ho was a proud hero of Korea recognized by all citizens.

but.

Baek Yun-ho also did not have this image from the beginning.

When he first awakened as a Hunter.

The special ability he realized was none other than the ability to ‘transform into demonic beasts.’

Demonization is a skill that changes the body into an appearance reminiscent of a demonic beast and gains wild power.

Even in the early days of the cataclysm, Baek Yun-ho, who possessed that skill, was not viewed very kindly.

No, there was no need to go that far. Hunters with the lower level skill, Beast Transformation, also received the same cold gaze.

The reason was extremely reasonable and natural.

No, isn’t that too scary!

The ability to transform your body like demonic beasts pouring out of the gate!

-You never know when those people might suddenly turn into real monsters.

-A gate has appeared, and now people are gradually turning into demonic beasts.

-What if they are nearby and suddenly turn and eat us?

-Before that, shouldn’t they at least be put to death first?

-No, since he still has some humanity left, he should at least be locked away… ….

At the time, numerous concerns about wild beast hunters agitated public opinion on the Internet.

Such public opinion continued until the Hunter Association was launched and its president, Woo Jin-cheol, supported wild beast hunters on a large scale under his name.

However, no matter what Woo Jin-cheol said, people’s concerns about wild beast hunters did not disappear.

Moreover, the problem was that even the beast hunters themselves were thinking like that.

When will they suddenly lose their senses and turn into magical beasts? Who can guarantee that that will never happen?

So, they were always ashamed of their abilities and lived in fear so as not to lose their senses.

And it was the same for Baek Yunho.

He already had an unusually large physique, and he had a formidable look as if he could strike down all the demon beasts with one hand at any moment.

Because of his appearance, there was always a mixture of fear and terror in the eyes of people who looked at Baek Yunho.

but.

There was someone who gave Baek Yunho courage by his side.

-Yunho.

Baek Yun-ho lived his entire life as a firefighter until the cataclysm.

When he raised his head, he saw the senior he respected the most, Captain Seong Il-hwan, with a warm expression on his face with his hand on his shoulder.

-…Yes, sir.

Baek Yun-ho looked into Seong Il-hwan’s eyes.

Seong Il-hwan’s hand, which was holding his shoulder, was hard with old calluses.

Veteran.

Or a famous general.

Captain Seong Il-hwan, no matter how he was called, was an outstanding firefighter who always demonstrated an unrivaled presence at the scene of a fire.

He looked at Baek Yunho’s face and advised in his calm and reliable voice as always.

-No matter whether you awakened or gained some abilities, nothing has changed.

-….

-No matter what the world says, you are still a firefighter and my subordinate Baek Yunho.

-….

-So, just like it was until now.

As always.

Captain Seong Il-hwan spoke with a faint smile, black soot smeared all over his face.

-Save the people.

-…!

Baek Yunho was shocked by those words as if he had been struck by lightning.

Anyone could say something like that.

But who was the one who said that?

It was Captain Seong Il-hwan who risked his life and struggled to save people for the past several decades!

Because these words came from the mouth of someone who lived and lived those words.

Because it was Baek Yunho who watched it closer than anyone else.

There was no need for any more words between the two.

-You’re a firefighter, right?

Sigh.

A confident smile finally appeared on Baek Yun-ho’s lips as he looked into the eyes of Captain Seong Il-hwan, who was smiling at him.

And that very day.

in Korea,

A hero is born.

S-class hunter Baek Yun-ho.

He went straight to the most famous reaper guild in Korea.

More than anyone else, he deployed his demonic skills at the forefront and began tearing the demonic beasts to death.

Even his colleagues were afraid of his intense and terrifying power.

‘Does not matter.’

Baek Yunho didn’t care.

Because it was for the people’s sake to kill at least one more demonic beast in front of them while they were paying attention to those gazes.

‘Just saving people.’

which….

Over the past few decades.

This was the most important lesson he learned from Captain Seong Il-hwan as he followed in his footsteps.

That was only two years ago.

And just last year.

Baek Yun-ho, who became famous through his tremendous performance in just one year, went so far as to establish his guild under his name.

But that move was never about making money.

Quite the opposite.

At the time, the beliefs of Baek Yun-ho and the leader of the Reaper Guild, who were only pursuing practical purposes like other hunter guilds, clashed with each other.

Baek Yun-ho called in all the wild beast hunters in the country who were still living in fear, fighting against people’s prejudices, established the ‘Baekho Guild’, and began rescuing citizens in earnest.

Why does he do this?

There was only one reason.

-You’re a firefighter, right?

The last word he heard from Captain Seong Il-hwan.

This was because that calm and heavy voice was still deeply engraved in Baek Yunho’s heart.

* * *

“…Hehehe! So, hi! Captain Seong Il-hwan said, “I have a firefighter…” …! Ugh!”

“No, I understand the situation, so please…” ….”

“Dad, stop crying. Guild members are watching. “Blow your nose.”

“Heung!”

Baek Yun-ho, who was engrossed in an old story, took the tissue Baek Mi-ho gave him and vigorously blew his nose.

But even then, I saw tears streaming down from his eyes… ….

Baek Mi-ho sighed softly and placed the entire roll of toilet paper in his hand.

Then he apologized to Suho with an expression of sincere regret.

“I’m sorry, Hunter Seong Su-ho. “My father is getting older these days and he is crying more.”

“Yeah, whatever. I understand.”

Suho just looked dejected.

The image of Baek Yun-ho, who roared and attacked with overflowing charisma upon his first appearance, did not match the image of Baek Yun-ho now, crying and squeezing snot.

He was also fascinating at the same time.

‘Is there such a coincidence? I can’t believe my grandfather knew Hunter Baek Yunho.’

Suho also knew that his grandfather Seong Il-hwan worked as a firefighter all his life and then retired.

But of course, he did not know every one of his grandfather’s former colleagues.

But who would have guessed that the famous Baek Yun-ho was his grandfather’s subordinate?

However, from Suho’s point of view, it was a matter of wonder, but from Baek Yunho’s point of view, this fact was a very important issue.

Pang!

“Hehehe. “Suho, Suho?”

Baek Yun-ho, who vigorously blew his nose again, approached Su-ho and spoke to him.

Unlike the first time, his tone was very cautious, as if he were handling glasswork that would break if he touched it.

“Hmm. I think there was a minor misunderstanding between us earlier. There is no way Captain Seong Il-hwan’s grandson can fall in a bad direction. “Cancer, cancer.”

Baek Yun-ho knew the personality of Captain Seong Il-hwan better than anyone else.

Didn’t he even go on to live as hard as he could to save others with just a few words?

‘There is no way his grandchild could ever stray. I was wrong earlier. ‘Cancer, cancer.’

With that in mind, Baek Yunho gave Suho a subtle look and spoke to him.

“Well, I don’t think you’ll ever tell his grandfather about such a trivial matter….”

“ah! Now that I think about it, I haven’t been able to call my grandfather to say hello these days!”

“Huh! Now, wait! Calm down!”

Baek Yunho was surprised to see Suho suddenly taking out his cell phone.

However, no matter how surprised he was, he did not use force to snatch the cell phone from Suho’s hand.

Instead, he just hovered around Suho, sweating and struggling, trying not to touch a single hair of his head.

Sigh.

Seeing that, Suho smiled mischievously and put his cell phone down again.

“Haaa….”

Then, seeing Baek Yunho sighing in relief with an almost corpse-like face, an even deeper smile appeared on Suho’s lips.

‘Anyway, that’s good. ‘I can’t believe I owe this much to the Baek Yunho of the world.’

Since one day I would have to deal with Itarim’s apostles, the more strong allies I had, the better.

This time, he became close to Thomas Andre, but since he was working in the United States, it was difficult to get help when an urgent situation arose.

Suho, who had been thinking for a while about how to cook Baek Yunho, finally decided what to do with him.

“President Baek Yun-ho, don’t worry, I won’t contact your grandfather for now.”

“Yeah? Hahaha! I knew it! “Maybe it’s because he takes after his grandfather, but he has an angry personality!”

“However, I have a favor to ask.”

“Hmm? “A favor?”

Baek Yun-ho, who was greatly relieved by Suho’s words, suddenly looked anxious when Suho put a condition on him.

But surprisingly, the conditions Suho proposed were ordinary(?).

“Could you please find Hwang Dong-su for me? “Since he hasn’t shown up here yet, I think I’ll have to go find him myself.”

“…”Do you want me to find Hwang Dong-su?”

At those words, Baek Yunho’s expression, which had been flustered from before, turned cold.

“Why are you looking for Hwang Dong-su?”

“What other reason does a bounty hunter need to catch a villain?”

What Suho held out along with the answer was the ‘Association Certified Bounty Hunter’ certificate.

“…Right.”

After checking the certificate issued by the association, Baek Yun-ho nodded in understanding.

But the uneasy feeling remained.

“Hwang Dong-su, we were planning to find Baekho anyway, so leave it to us. “But there’s one thing I’m curious about.”

Baek Yun-ho’s eyes, which were suddenly looking at Su-ho, were full of doubt as before Seong Il-hwan’s name was mentioned.

Doesn’t saying that he wants to catch Hwang Dong-soo ultimately mean that he has the confidence to deal directly with even an S-class villain?

If that’s true, then why on earth does he hide his level of power and still work as a C-class hunter?

“If you find Hwang Dong-su, will you kill him yourself?”

In response to his direct question, Suho tilted his head as if asking what he was talking about.

“no? If you kill me yourself, of course, I’d be happy. “It’s standard for S-class villains to be directly dealt with by S-class hunters.”

“Ah, that’s what you said.”

Only then did Baek Yunho let go of his doubts.

However, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes again at Suho’s words that followed.

“Even if you kill me instead, please leave behind Hwang Dong-su’s body.”

“…Yes? “Why the corpse?”

“Oh, I want to see the body. “It only takes a moment.”

“…?”

No, Captain Seong Il-hwan.

What kind of grandchildren do you have?

Baek Yunho felt like he should at least call his captain to say hello to him after a long time.

[My beloved grandchild?]

“….”

The profile photo of the captain, who is living leisurely after his retirement, was full of love for his grandchildren.

So it was even more confusing.

Chapter 157

 

As the day passed, the Internet was once again in turmoil.

-Breaking News) Case closed!

“The Great Escape from Jisan Prison.”

-Breaking News) 500 villains were eliminated! Korea has become safer!

-Intensive coverage) Ask the Baekho Guild.

“Who is the identity of the hunter who eliminated the villains?”

-Interview) Vice President Baek Mi-ho, “He is a hero.” Remarks excommunicated.

People’s reactions to the news that began to spread all over the Internet were more enthusiastic than ever.

-and; It’s awesome; It wasn’t the White Tiger Guild that caught the villains??

-What does this mean? Who on earth caught so many villains if not the White Tiger Guild?

-Do you have dyslexia? They said it was someone else who solved the case, and the Baekho Guild only handled it after the fact.

-No, so who is that??

-Anyway, it’s just one person.

– Haha, that’s awesome. Anyway, that means that one hunter killed 500 villains, right?

-?? At this point, isn’t that hunter also a villain?

– ?? It’s a massacre.

Here, people’s reactions were largely divided into two.

Clearing out the villains in Jisan Prison was of course a good thing, and the person who solved it was a hero who deserved praise.

But the problem was that the number of villains he killed was too many.

-This is a person who massacred 500 people in one day, but it doesn’t seem normal.

-At least a murderer.

-Isn’t it okay since we killed villains, not people?

-Ah~ Villains aren’t even people?

-?? : Even villains have human rights! Quack.

-Fact 1) All the human rights organizations that said that are dead now.

-Fact 2) They were also killed by the villains they secretly hid.

-Related link) “I killed it because it was the same.”

-Related link) “Who dares protect whom? “On the topic of incompetent people.”

…At one time, many organizations raised their voices advocating for the human rights of villains.

However, due to the various incidents committed by the villains after that, most people were now accepting the Hunter Association’s claim that ‘villains are defined as humanoid demon beasts.’

still….

There was such a thing as a degree.

– Statement of conviction) Still, killing all 500 people was a bit harsh. If he was that strong of a hunter, there would have been a way to save him and send him back to prison.

– Haha, you are a saint in the corner of your room. And what if he escapes again? Do you want to catch it again?

-no!! So who are you?? Why don’t you reveal your identity? He’s a hero!

-?? The atmosphere is like this, but if it were you, would you reveal it? It’s not enough to be held up as a national hero, but the national character is condemned as a massacre haha.

-Besides, I heard that Hwang Dong-seok also died this time. Hwang Dong-soo must be desperately trying to hide his identity out of fear that he will come looking for revenge.

– Haha Hwang Dong-soo is scary.

Stand tall.

“….”

Late at night.

S-class villain Hwang Dong-su was reading Internet news one by one in his hideout when he suddenly stopped.

Beyond that was a list of villains who had died this time.

-C-level villain Hwang Dong-seok (deceased)

“…her.”

The corners of his mouth, which had been tightly closed the whole time, forcibly twitched, revealing his pure white teeth.

I burst out laughing at the news that was so absurd.

“Your brother died?”

Hwang Dong-seok was her older brother who broke up with her two years ago.

He suddenly awakened alone, and he was also an abusive older brother who mercilessly abandoned him, calling him a useless b*stard.

So, even when he was awakened to S-class later, he had no intention of going there first and trying to get along like before.

But that didn’t mean he wanted to receive news of his brother’s death this way.

“…I thought he was quietly imprisoned in prison, but he suddenly escaped and was caught and killed three days later? And that to one person?”

When he heard that his brother had escaped from prison, he had no intention of helping.

Since he has a very clever personality, I thought he would hide himself well and pay no attention to him.

But if my brother died, things would be different.

Shouldn’t he at least take revenge on his younger brother?

‘…But I still don’t know who did it.’

I searched all the related articles, but the White Tiger Guild was completely hiding the identity of ‘him’.

As someone said in the comment earlier, it was clear that he was worried about Hwang Dong-su’s retaliation at this point.

but.

“There are no eternal secrets in today’s world.”

Hwang Dong-su exposed his teeth and raised his huge body from the bed.

The large gold necklace hanging around his neck clattered.

Hwaak-

As he opened the bedroom door and walked out, the lobby of a luxurious mansion unfolded.

This was once the secret villa of a corrupt politician and the third hideout of Hwang Dong-su, who killed him and took over.

Hwang Dong-su walked out of the building through the empty lobby and called somewhere.

We were connected soon.

-Yes, Hwang Dong-su. What did you contact me about?

A voice in a businesslike tone came from the other end of the phone.

Hwang Dong-su asked directly.

“I want information.”

-Do you want any information about Hwang Dong-seok’s death?

Hwang Dong-su smiled and said as if he had been waiting for the answer.

“You’re good at business. Yes, I want to know who killed my brother. “I’ll give you any amount of money.”

-The money is fine. Instead, if you don’t mind, would you mind helping us with one task this time?

“work?”

-yes. A slightly troublesome request has come in.

Hwang Dong-su frowned at those words.

“You know very well that I am being chased by the association, right?”

-yes. Of course, I understand Hwang Dong-soo’s position very well. So, for what we wanted to do, we chose not a city center, but a rural area that would never be noticed.

“…Tsk.”

Hwang Dong-su clicked his tongue with a disapproving expression at the business-like tone of the other person, who immediately poured out a prepared message as if he had been waiting for him to contact him.

‘Anyway, they are clever guys.’

Of course, thanks to this, he is still living comfortably without being caught by the association.

-Of course, Hwang Dong-su can solve this problem in an instant. If you do the work, we will hand over the information you want right away.

“Okay, tell me where it is.”

-This is Yangpyeong. It’s not too far from where you are right now.

* * *

[Enter the Shadow Dungeon.]

The next day, Suho returned home, had breakfast, and went straight into the shadow dungeon.

The Jisan Prison incident caused a huge stir on the Internet, but the daily life of Suho, the person involved, did not change at all.

This was all thanks to the White Tiger Guild hiding information about Suho as much as possible.

Of course, since there was more than one hunter from the White Tiger Guild who witnessed Suho in person, that information could not be hidden forever.

No matter what public opinion was, Suho’s identity would eventually become widely known to the public one day.

However, it was at least possible to delay the timing slightly and release it when Suho wanted.

[Little Lord, the grid is strong. To reap Grid as a shadow soldier, the Little Lord must become equally strong.]

“I said I understood. That’s why I came to train so hard.”

Hwang Dong-su, who was once said to be his father’s shadow soldier, ‘Grid’.

Someday, I will either meet him and fight him directly, or the White Tiger Guild will find him and kill him first.

To successfully extract him as a shadow soldier again, Suho’s abilities were most important.

[Skill: Shadow Extraction Lv.2]

Shadow power.

No mana is required.

It extracts mana from a lifeless body and turns it into a shadow soldier.

The probability of extraction failure increases in proportion to the target’s abilities and the elapsed time of the target’s death.

-Level 2 effect ‘Shape Transformation’: The shape of the shadow soldier can be changed arbitrarily.

[Number of shadows that can be extracted: 50/50]

‘There is a chance of failure in the shadow extraction skill.’

Suho recalled the dizzying experience of failing twice while trying to extract a ‘poison-toothed sand centipede’ in Egypt.

At that time, the centipede was not at a level where Suho could kill it alone, so the extraction almost failed.

‘There are a total of 3 extraction opportunities. To safely extract the S-class awakened in those three opportunities, we must become much stronger than we are now.’

So, Suho entered Ammut’s Pyramid to become stronger again today.

As always, for the daily quest, to practice Gangseojutsu.

However, when we arrived here, there was a miserable mummy(?) who had been forgotten by everyone and was continuing her solitary training.

“Sooooo….”

[Khaha! Yes, that’s it! Keep running! Even if my leg bones are pulverized! Even if my spine hurts! You can still run!]

“….”

A mummy trudging through the labyrinth of the pyramid under the terrifying laughter of Ammut.

No, Do-gyun Lim.

Currently, his entire body is wrapped in ‘Item: Mummy’s Bandages’ and he is being trained by Ammut.

No, it was just training; in fact, it was torture itself.

Of course, Suho was also repeating a set routine every day in the name of a daily quest.

However, even though the number of times was the same, the intensity was different each time.

Ammut was increasing the intensity of training by adjusting the gravitational field more and more in proportion as Suho’s abilities increased.

So Suho was also undergoing training, enduring severe pain every time.

But even so, Su-ho was the son of Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo.

There was even a level-up system, so its potential was indescribable.

But what about Lim Do-Hyun?

He was just an ordinary E-class hunter.

He was said to be the weakest among the hunters, with physical abilities and recovery abilities that were only slightly better than those of an ordinary person.

But he had one special talent.

It was ‘running skills’.

[You don’t need push-ups! Just run and run until you’re almost dead! No, if you stop walking, you will die by my hands!]

“Hey….”

As he felt Ammut’s sincere and murderous spirit right behind him, Lim Do-gyun’s complexion quickly turned pale.

Human limitations have already been surpassed.

Even though he looked like a half-corpse, with his limbs tattered, Lim Do-gyun kept running and running.

But he still didn’t manage to die.

The mummy’s bandages wrapped around his body were an evil, or rather useful, item that somehow forcibly fixed his broken body even when his bones crumbled and his muscles and ligaments were torn.

“I don’t think it was originally meant to be written like that….”

[what are you talking about? This bandage is a masterpiece by Candiaru, who created it to be used like this!]

Ammut chuckled and accepted Suho’s muttering.

[Do you know what? I love watching such insignificant creatures struggle to become strong. Usually, they die then. but!]

And I looked with great satisfaction at Lim Do-gyun, who was still running around inside the pyramid even though he was in a near-dead state.

[If you somehow survive the pain, that is strength.]

“….”

Suho could not help but nod his head at the resonance felt in those words.

No matter what anyone says, Lim Do-gyun continues the grueling training of his own will.

As a result, his leg muscles were swollen to the point of bursting.

Without the help of a level-up system or status window.

He was just running.

With one intention to become stronger.

[So, let’s start the daily quest.]

Nod.

Soon, Suho’s training began.

and.

[Hmm.]

Behind them, the newly recruited shadow soldier Harmakan was looking around the pyramid, his eyes shining.

[This could not be the place of the great sorcerer Candiaru… …?]

Chapter 158

 

Shadow Dungeon.

A quiet world of rest made up of black and white.

Now here, the untimely flapping of the wings of bees was making a small noise.

Weeeeenn-

[…] …It’s amazing.]

Queen Bee Arsha let out a small exclamation as she walked through the shadow dungeon.

[Is this the world of rest ruled by the Shadow Lord?]

Surprisingly, she was now in the shadow dungeon in her ‘main body’ state.

The conversation between Suho and Arsha was cut off for a moment due to Baek Yunho’s sudden intrusion, but after that, Suho dared to bring Arsha’s body in front of him.

In any case, Arsha was in no position to disobey Suho’s orders, so in the end, she had no choice but to obediently follow Suho’s words.

The result is this situation right now.

From now on, Arsha’s main body will live trapped in the shadow dungeon.

A pawn, so to speak.

Or confinement.

In short, from now on, Arsha’s main body will be unable to leave the shadow dungeon without the Guardian’s permission.

However, her body remained outside, and by using that body, she was able to observe the situation outside.

But that’s it.

Since her main body was trapped here, it was difficult for her to fully demonstrate her power.

At best, reconnaissance was the best.

‘…But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.’

I didn’t know it when she was being subjected to one-sided bullying, but Arsha was surprisingly quite pleased with her current situation.

‘I’m sure it’s a case of abuse of power, but the welfare is better than I thought.’

Arsha’s ultimate goal was, of course, to inherit the power of Queresha, the King of Bugs and Lord of Plague.

But before that, her most important goal was, of course, ‘survival.’

In that sense, this shadow dungeon was a safer place than any other place.

‘What she likes most is that she doesn’t have to act anymore.’

Arsha was not particularly dissatisfied with her current treatment based on this fact alone.

In the past, when she accidentally fell to Earth while wandering through a gap in her dimension, she chose to imitate herself as a human and naturally blend into human society.

She played a human and catered to humans.

It wasn’t an adaptation, it was just parasitism.

It was shameful.

She, who was born as a queen bee, has to live her life acting like a mere humans.

But no matter how strong she was, she couldn’t take on all the humans on Earth.

That’s why she had to increase her load and build up enough strength that she no longer had to hide herself.

For her to reign as a true queen bee.

But not now.

She didn’t have to act like a human any more than she did here in the shadow dungeon.

That fact appealed to her more than anything else.

Of course, there was just one element of anxiety.

It’s Suho.

Since the main body is trapped here, from now on Suho can kill himself whenever he wants.

-I plan to kill you at any time. But I promise I won’t kill you if you don’t go against my wishes.

[…] …It’s okay, right?]

A very unreasonable and one-sided contract.

Arsha’s eyes trembled with anxiety as she suddenly remembered her vow to Suho.

But what can you do?

Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to do my best not to go against Suho’s wishes.

Even when she was outside, wasn’t she running away from Suho?

[hmm. This would be good.]

Arsha, who had been wandering around the shadow dungeon for a while, found somewhere and suddenly stopped.

This is a corner of the shadow dungeon, a little away from Ammut’s pyramid.

Arsha, who was carefully examining her surroundings around this area, smiled in satisfaction and stretched out her hand.

[Fly soar, my worker bees.]

When-

Then the bees she had brought with her flew out of her body all at once.

Addressing her guys, Arsha solemnly declared:

[I command you in the name of Queen Bee Arsha. Work hard, worker bees. Let’s build our new kingdom here.]

When-

Arsha ended up like this anyway, and she decided to create a comfortable palace in the corner of the shadow dungeon where she would reside from now on.

Anyway, the main material for the honeycomb was Arsha’s magic power, and the remaining materials could be sufficiently collected in this area.

So after some time.

Before she knew it, the beehive, with its basic structure already visible, was gradually becoming complete.

But is it because we have become so accustomed to human life?

It could be said that it was a beehive, but the queen bee’s bedroom was built like a very comfortable and elegant princess room.

[Hehe. Good, good. Make a bed here. Queen size would be nice. And over here, there’s a tea table and a sofa….]

The worker bees were buzzing and working hard to match Arsha’s detailed orders.

Arsha could not hide her satisfaction.

Then a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to continue living like this…. hmm? What was I thinking….’

Arsha said that for a moment she had a thought that was unbecoming of a queen bee, and hastily erased the thought that had just occurred to her.

But deep down she knew.

The queen bee’s life was all about living in a safe place and leaving all the other troublesome and dangerous tasks to her worker bees.

Arsha felt grateful to her guardian for providing her with such a comfortable space, and she passed on her thoughts to her worker bees wandering around Korea.

The content of her thoughts was precisely the order given to her by her guardian.

-My worker bees! Hurry and find Hwang Dong-su!

Yes.

Suho not only entrusted the role to the White Tiger Guild but also enlisted Arsha’s workers to search for Hwang Dong-su’s location.

Weeeeenn-

Arsha’s worker bees outside the shadow dungeon heard the queen’s command and began to flap their wings even more and disperse throughout the country.

* * *

So while Arsha was constructing her hive.

Suho finished his daily quest and walked out of Ammut’s pyramid.

[Thank you for your hard work.]

Behind Ber, who approached first and spoke, the Shadow Soldiers of Guardians were gathered.

Suho’s eyes looked at them.

Excluding Ver, the total number of shadow soldiers he has saved so far is five.

Shadow Lancer Quay.

Shadow Minotaur Minnow.

Shadow Minotaur Tau.

Shadow Assassin Kira.

Shadow Shaman Harmakan.

The strongest among them was, of course, Harmacan, an elite knight.

However, from the perspective of dealing with him directly, Harmakan’s specialty was ‘magic.’

In that sense, to use Harmakan appropriately in the future, it was necessary to properly understand its abilities.

“Harmacan, tell me about your abilities.”

[Yes, master.]

Harmacan’s answer followed, and in summary, he was able to broadly categorize them into three categories.

1) Wraith magic

2) Curse (debuff)

3) Activate instance dungeon

[…] …However, witchcraft to cast a spell is only possible when there are spirits of the dead around.]

“It’s an ability that has limitations depending on the situation.”

[That’s right.]

Suho suddenly remembered Harmakan attacking him using the ghosts of the dead people in Yamiri Village.

At that time, Harmakan used the souls of humans, but he seemed to be able to use the Wraith Art on the souls of the demonic beasts in the dungeon.

‘However, the abilities of wraith magic overlap with shadow extraction.’

Strictly speaking, Shadow Power could be said to be a much higher level ability than Wraith Art.

“Then, from now on, we can collect strong demonic beasts as shadow soldiers, and use the souls of the remaining miscellaneous mobs as ingredients for wraith magic.”

[I will keep this in mind. And the curse I use is….]

“Oh, let’s see that with our own eyes.”

[…] …?]

Suho’s sudden grinning smile made Harmakan feel ominous and he quickly looked around.

Then, before he knew it, other shadow soldiers were surrounding him.

[Lord, master?]

“Attack everyone.”

[…] …!]

Wow!

As soon as the order was given, the shadow soldiers began to attack Harmacan.

[Oh my!]

Harmakan was taken aback and started cursing quickly.

At that moment, system messages appeared one after another in front of Suho.

[Harmacan uses ‘Skill: Damage Amplification’.]

[Harmacan uses ‘Skill: Exploitation’.]

[Harmacan uses ‘Skill: Thorn of Pain’.]

“Yes, this was it.”

Suho nodded his head, once again confirming the performance of the Harmakan curses he had personally encountered.

‘Damage amplification is a debuff. Exploitation absorbs vitality. Thorns of pain are reflection damage.’

Looking back, they were quite interesting skills.

In terms of the game, Harmakan could be seen as a necromancer specializing in debuffs.

And just as the debuff in the game cannot exert much power without party members, the same was true for Harmakan.

Even now, even if he applies a debuff, there are no ghosts that will attack him.

[Aaaah!]

As a result, Harmakan was one-sidedly beaten by other soldiers without even being able to attack properly.

Although he was an elite knight in name and appearance, he had an unsightly appearance.

However, in the process, the ‘thorn of pain’ shone through.

[All pain and damage Harmacan receives is shared with the attacking target.]

Quaaaang!

[…] …!]

At that moment, Kira’s body, which attacked Harmakan with great force, exploded and was thrown backward.

At the same time, Harmakan also felt pain, but Kira, who had a relatively weak defense, fell first.

Suho chuckled at that sight.

“So this makes me a tank and not a necromancer?”

But what if it were like this?

Suho changed his fighting style.

“Harmacan! Can you apply the thorns of pain to all other soldiers as well?”

[Wow! Yes, yes! Anything is possible!]

Even though Harma Khan was beaten by his soldiers, he steadily answered his questions.

“Then use it all on the other soldiers!”

[Harmacan uses ‘Skill: Thorn of Pain’.]

As soon as he said those words, a curse enveloped the bodies of all the soldiers, and Su-ho this time ordered the soldiers to attack each other.

Then an indiscriminate fight broke out.

[Kaaaa!]

[Haaaap!]

Chack chack chack-!

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The shadow soldiers attacked each other without hesitation, perhaps because they had accumulated so much from each other.

Then, at the same time as the attack, their bodies exploded one after another.

But in the meantime, they look like berserkers who don’t stop attacking each other… ….

[Guys like cockroaches.]

Queen Arsha, who witnessed her grueling and fierce battle from afar, clicked her tongue and ran away to build a beehive again.

Shwaaaaagh!

In the meantime, Suho’s mana drained out, and the damaged bodies of the soldiers began to recover quickly.

Suho’s eyes sparkled when he saw that.

“Good?”

Thorn of Pain, which returns damage taken, had very good synergy with Shadow Soldiers.

Because the shadow soldiers were able to recover no matter how much damage they took.

Of course, the prerequisite for this was that it had to be supported by the Guardian’s mana.

“…”From now on, I think I’ll have to invest in intelligence stats as well.”

Suho immediately invested everything in his intelligence stat, starting with the daily quest rewards he received today.

Chapter 159

 

“Now for the last time….”

It was time to check Harmakan’s third ability.

“Harmacan, explain the instance dungeon.”

Instance Dungeon.

This time, Harmakan could turn the entire village of Yamiri into a world similar to a dungeon.

Harmakan said that he was able to learn this ability after repeatedly studying the legacy of Candiaru, which he discovered by chance.

That’s why he claimed to be Khandiaru’s disciple.

Harmacan answered Suho’s question while putting his tattered body back together after being beaten by the soldiers.

[Yes, master. An instance dungeon is a spell that twists the existing dimension to create a ‘backside world’.]

“What is this world?”

[To use an analogy, you can think of it as the world beyond the mirror. It is similar to the surrounding environment but creates a completely different virtual dimension. Ah, now that I think about it…!]

Harmakan opened his mouth, looking around him with an expression of sudden great realization.

Where is this place?

Isn’t this the shadow dungeon, a world of rest that has crossed the border of the guardian’s shadow?

The ruined city that now exists in this black-and-white world could be seen as a world similar to an instance dungeon in some sense.

This place is similar to the scenery of Earth where Suho lives but has a completely different appearance.

Harmakan complained to Suho and took back what he had just said.

[iced coffee! Sorry, master! I think the analogy was wrong! It was not a world beyond the mirror, but a world beyond the shadows!]

Harmakan’s body trembled as he realized where Kandyaru got the inspiration to create the technology called instance dungeon.

[The order was reversed from the beginning! Candiaru must have developed a spell called Instance Dungeon after this shadow world! And the purpose is ultimately…!]

“Level up.”

Suho received the words and nodded his head.

“I guess it was developed to help his father level up.”

[It seems so!]

Until now, Harmakan had mistakenly believed that the purpose of instance dungeons was to create his world.

Because he, the central axis of the world, could reign as a king.

But now I see that wasn’t the case!

He was not a king.

Just a boss mob.

It was just a device to give enormous experience points to players who came to conquer the instance dungeon!

[Besides, when I looked at it earlier, that pyramid was also the same.]

Harmakan pointed to the Pyramid of Ammut.

[That pyramid was also full of traces of Candiaru’s repeated research to grow the Shadow Lord’s vessel.]

“I guess so.”

At those words, Suho nodded his head.

Strong Body Training Center and Instance Dungeon.

In the end, after much research, the level-up system my father used was completed.

Ironically, the ‘unfinished traces’ of Candiaru’s efforts to complete the system were gathered to Suho one by one.

And the result.

[Master, the instance dungeon that I learned independently has the characteristic of attracting beings with evil spirits nearby.]

“Evil spirits, like villains?”

[yes. You can lie with your mouth and deceive, but you cannot deceive your soul. I can assure you that nothing can be better than my magic when it comes to identifying evil spirits.]

Harmakan, who likes evil spirits, smiled confidently and showed his teeth.

[That means that by using my instance dungeon, the owner can gather villains that he can hunt with peace of mind.]

[Very good! I thought he was a special guy, but then I realized he had such an amazing talent!]

Ber suddenly appeared and nodded with a very satisfied expression.

Then, with a smile even more sinister than Harmakan, he urged Suho.

[Solord! Very well! I’ve been frustrated with how slow the level-up has been, but now I can run properly! From now on, you will kill everyone you see, whether they are villains or evil spirits, and become stronger!]

“Arsha.”

When Suho raised his head while listening to Ber’s nagging, a swarm of bees the size of a small doll gathered above his head.

[Yes, Suho. Did you call me?]

“What happened to what you asked me to find?”

[I scattered my bees all over the place, but I haven’t found any traces yet. Instead, I figured out the locations of several villains in case they were related to Hwang Dong-soo… ….]

[Keeeeeeek!]

[Kyaaaah?!]

Arsha screamed as Ber suddenly snatched her body with terrifying force.

Ber held Arsha high like her trophy and showered her with praise.

[It is truly amazing! What a useful bee! Solord! It seems that only now are Lord So’s soldiers starting to come together. Let’s go level up right away!]

“Why?”

[Kiek?]

Ber was taken aback by Suho’s reaction and didn’t know what to do.

[Le, aren’t you leveling up?]

“I have to do it. But the goal of hunting down villains has already been achieved. “If you are simply trying to level up, it is more efficient to just enter the dungeon.”

Yes.

Like all hunters, Suho’s activities as a bounty hunter were now much more inefficient.

However, there was no need to leave the villains that had already been found alone.

Suho said with a grin.

“Anyway, even if the shadow soldiers kill me, I still get experience, right?”

[Keeek! Of course it is!]

“Then let’s split the team into two. I hunt in the dungeon, and the villains… ….”

The shadow soldiers watched Suho’s gaze scan them one by one, their bodies tensed and waiting for his orders.

“Quay.”

[yes! master!]

At Suho’s call, Spear Knight Quay leaped forward and knelt before him as if he had been waiting.

“I will leave the villains to you. Take Harmakan and Kira and go around and deal with them. “Is it possible?”

[Well, like that…! Whether there is! If you leave it to me, I will handle it perfectly! Before killing him, I will gather all the information and find traces of Hwang Dong-su!]

At Suho’s command, Quay felt extreme shivers and his body trembled.

He gave orders to himself, who was only a knight, to use Harmacan, an elite knight, as his subordinate!

Quay looked down at Harmacan, a new soldier who was stronger than him, with an incredibly proud expression.

[Hehehe! Did you see it? I am the Master’s first knight, Que!]

[This can’t be happening….]

Harmakan felt great humiliation from that blatant gaze.

Kira was just quietly smiling next to Quay and Harmakan, who were sharing their joys and sorrows.

[Murder….]

* * *

Right after that.

While public opinion is in an uproar over the Jisan Prison incident.

A dark cloud was casting over the villains who had been operating secretly across the country, avoiding the attention of the Association until now.

“…So, the metropolitan area is dangerous.”

“I know yeah. “Hehe.”

“After all, some hunters move to Seoul when they make money, right? The Hunter Association headquarters is also in Gangnam.”

“So in the end, if you’re going to do villainous things, it’s safer to go on a local tour like we did?”

A suburb far from Seoul.

In the middle of the town market, where food was sold to travelers, the villains were sitting and chatting peacefully.

“Wow. “Anyway, the weather is nice today.”

Wasak.

The villain took an apple sold nearby and took a big bite, looking up at the sky with a leisurely expression.

Warm sunlight.

A pleasant, gentle breeze.

Isn’t this happiness?

but.

Except for the fishy scent of blood that vibrates in the wind.

…!

The mayor was covered in blood.

Bodies strewn about in horrendous condition.

This place, which was peaceful until morning, became a living hell overnight due to a group of villains who suddenly appeared.

However, the people who committed this terrible act were sitting calmly and chatting quietly.

“Ugh. These demons….”

“uh? Is there anyone still alive? “Your name is long?”

The corner of the villain’s mouth went up as he saw the survivor crawling on the floor, breathing hard.

Then.

Sigh.

“Okay, now it’s over.”

The villain, who had neatly ended the survivor’s life, took another bite of the apple he was eating with a refreshed expression.

Crunchy.

“So, the people who were caught in the first place were assholes? If they kill all the witnesses like this, how will they know who we are… ….”

It was then.

Creepy.

The villain who was eating an apple was suddenly startled and jumped up to look around.

Something has changed.

The gentle wind stopped.

The sunlight shining down felt somewhat awkward.

however.

“W-what! “What is this?!”

“Why are you making such a fuss all of a sudden?”

When the villain who was eating an apple suddenly made a fuss, his colleagues tilted their heads in confusion.

Yes.

On the outside, nothing had changed.

The smell of blood.

Corpses.

And his colleagues, who have been working hand in hand with each other for several months.

But things have changed.

“F*ck you! “What are you doing?”

“No, what? “Why is this guy like this?”

The villain, who did not notice any change, just made a puzzled expression as his colleague shouted at him.

and.

Suddenly.

“…uh?”

His head was cut off while he was sitting still.

Tuk.

Degururu.

My colleague’s head was tilted to the side so vainly and rolled on the floor.

“W-what the f*ck!”

“Ugh!”

Only then do the villains feel alarmed and wake up all at once and begin to be wary of their surroundings.

At that time, there was a ray of voice passing by their ears.

[one.]

“Who, who…!”

Suddenly.

The villain’s head was cut off again as he looked back in shock.

[Now two.]

Once again, the voice that sounded like the wind was mixed with a satisfied smile.

“Ugh! Everyone be careful! “I’m an assassin-type hunter!”

“Use your tracking skills!”

“Ahh! “F*ck, what is that again!”

The villains were shocked.

Ssaaaaaa-

They discovered the appearance of ghosts rising like a haze from the corpses they had killed.

[Hehehe. Many souls have a grudge against you.]

Wraith magic.

With Harmakan’s sinister laughter, numerous ghosts grabbed the villains’ ankles and strangled them.

“Ears, ghosts?!”

“Holy shit! I don’t know what it is, but run away from here… …!”

[That won’t work.]

I love you so much-

“Ouch!”

Quay suddenly approached and pierced the thigh of the villain who was trying to run away with his spear.

He then grabbed the terrified villain by his hair with a vicious hand, lifted him, and looked him in the eyes.

[I like people who talk a lot.]

“Hehe….”

At Quay’s narrowed, sinister smile, the villain’s expression turned pale with fear.

Before he knew it, Quay had returned to the gaze of Lee Min-seong, the Vice President of the Reaper Guild and an A-level villain.

Smirk.

Quay asked him.

[Now, whatever you want, tell me everything you know. If you stop talking, I will rip your tongue out of this snout.]

Not to be outdone, Harmacan grabbed the already dead villain’s soul with his evil hands.

[Cluck. After all, it is a knight grade. You can ask questions after killing them first.]

[…] ….]

Quay gritted his teeth.

…And that time.

Tiring!

[Your level has risen!]

“uh? already?”

Suho suddenly leveled up.

Su-ho, who was going through the guild creation paperwork with Jin-ho Yoo’s secretaries, scratched his head with a puzzled expression.

“…”How many times are they killing those guys?”

As it turned out, Korea was steadily turning into a villain-clean country.

Chapter 160

 

——-

thud.

“Now, these are all the documents needed to create a guild.”

“…”There are a lot.”

Suho laughed as he looked at the pile of documents in front of him.

As if he had anticipated Suho’s reaction, Jinho Yoo grinned picked up the topmost stack of documents, and explained.

“There are bound to be a lot of documents. “The guild you will establish is already a large guild from the start.”

“Is it because of the Scavenger Guild?”

“Okay. The Scavenger Guild has already started selling ‘Echo Forest Spring Water’ in earnest. And half of the profits will be used as your guild’s income. “But is there any way that there are not enough documents?”

Suho nodded at Yoo Jin-ho’s words.

‘Item: Spring Water of Echo Forest’

The effectiveness of the detox potion obtained from the ice elves in the glacier dungeon was proven through several verifications by the Scavenger Guild.

From Suho’s perspective, he had already seen the item information, so he knew the effect very well.

To sell to other hunters for money, such a verification process was necessary, even if it was somewhat cumbersome.

As soon as the value of the detox potion was confirmed, the Scavenger Guild began the detox potion business in earnest.

The public’s reaction has already been enthusiastic.

It was natural.

When hunting magical beasts that use poison, a hunter with detoxification skills was essential.

But not everyone had such a hunter as a colleague.

In such a situation, even though it was inconvenient, I had to go into battle wearing a gas mask.

Otherwise, I had no choice but to go to the association’s healer after the battle and receive detoxification.

But now, with just the detox potion, the paradigm until now would be completely different.

And because of Suho’s contract with Scavenger, he was to receive half of the proceeds from future sales of Echo Forest’s spring water.

However, in principle, such large-scale contracts are only transacted between guilds.

“In other words, Seong Su-ho’s guild will become a close partner with a large American guild upon its establishment. And since Ajin Soft has to coordinate and supervise that relationship, a three-party contract is also required… ….”

“yes. So where should I start signing?”

Since it was something he was familiar with, Suho picked up his pen and listened to the lawyer’s explanation.

Still, thanks to Yoo Jin-ho, all the complicated contracts and document procedures were resolved, so the guild could be founded by simply signing numerous documents.

Yoo Jin-ho, who had been watching Suho eagerly sign his name, suddenly looked at Suho with very serious eyes.

“Rather…”As a guild leader, there is probably one most important thing left to do.”

“What is that?”

Suho’s eyes also became serious at that expression.

His uncle Yoo Jin-ho was his father’s closest colleague who had his memories of his previous life returned intact.

What does he think is most important?

Jinho Yoo asked seriously.

“Have you decided on a guild name?”

“ah.”

What else can I say?

Suho shrugged his shoulders in response.

It was a topic I had never thought about because I was so busy.

But anyway, to complete these thick documents, the guild name had to be written at the top.

“hmm. “We just call it a solo guild.”

“Now, wait!”

“…?”

Suho was taken aback by Jinho Yoo’s sudden, greatly embarrassed reaction.

Yoo Jin-ho’s expression was very complex.

Yoo Jin-ho didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at this or what kind of expression he should make right now.

‘…what the. ‘I wonder if someone is your son.’

It was Yoo Jin-ho who brought back a nostalgic memory that now remains only as a memory.

In the past, didn’t Seong Jin-woo also try to roughly name his guild “Solople Guild”?

“why? Weird?”

Yu Jin-ho asked Su-ho’s question back.

“…Why do you want to use that name?”

“There’s no particular reason, I just like moving alone. “I have no intention of recruiting more guild members in the future.”

“That’s true, but strictly speaking, you’re not fighting alone. “There are also shadow soldiers.”

“hmm.”

“More than anything, it’s so tacky! “Later, as the guild name becomes more known, it will be exposed in many places!”

After hearing it, I saw it.

Su-ho nodded to Yu Jin-ho’s logical and desperate persuasion.

It made sense.

It was a guild that I might be joining for the rest of my life.

It was right for the guild name to have a meaning that could express oneself well.

‘That’s why I chose ‘Solo’…If the meaning is not clearly understood, it is of no use.’

It’s a word that can express me.

Suho asked again.

“Then how about ‘Woojin Guild’?”

“Woojin?”

Yoo Jin-ho’s eyes widened slightly as he reflected on the tone.

“Is that your brother’s or your father’s name backward?”

“Yes, that’s true, but it also has other meanings.”

“What do you mean?”

“Wu (宇) of the universe (宇宙), Jin (進) to move forward.”

Suho reflected on his purpose.

He has to do what he needs to do next.

What I want to do.

And for that purpose, the name I want to give to the guild that will grow together.

“The two together make Ujin (宇進), which means ‘moving into space.'”

“….”

Yoo Jin-ho couldn’t say anything in response to Su-ho’s subsequent answer.

“Because I will go to the universe where my father is.”

…That is how the Woojin Guild was created.

* * *

After forming a guild, Suho began to attack the dungeon in earnest.

When I became a guild leader, I realized that there was a big difference between when there was no guild and when there was a guild.

Surprisingly, the fact that the guild leader was a C-class hunter was not very important.

Such elements are only needed when recruiting guild members anyway, and in the end, ‘money’ is what is needed to dominate the dungeon to be conquered.

And Suho now had a lot of money.

“10 billion.”

“…!”

“First of all, please focus on the highest-grade dungeons with 1 billion won, bro.”

“Ah Okay. no! “I understand, guild leader!”

Lim Do-gyun, who came out of the shadow dungeon for the first time in a long time, could not get used to the sight of Su-ho suddenly becoming rich.

But making money is difficult, so why spend it?

“And since the money coming in from scavengers next month will be much more than this month, we take that into consideration and make reservations in advance.”

“yes!”

Lim Do-gyun answers energetically.

Suho noticed that his movements were very different from before.

‘fast.’

And that change became clear when I took Lim Do-gyun into the dungeon.

“Ugh! “Why did you bring me here?”

Lim Do-gyun’s role is a porter.

It was a task for Suho to run between shadow soldiers and hunt demonic beasts to collect magic stones.

It didn’t matter if you did this after the dungeon raid was completed.

Otherwise, you could have left it to the shadow soldiers without having to order Lim Do-gyun to do it.

However, there was a reason why he brought Lim Do-gyun in person this time.

“…oh. “He’s really good at running away.”

Suho was impressed.

Ammut just told Lim Do-gyun to run all the time.

As a result, Lim Do-gyun’s lower body was trained to the limit, and he was still able to run away from the mid-level magic beasts that were attacking him.

‘Magic power is still at level E, but the strength itself has increased significantly. This is enough… …’Wouldn’t it be possible to deal with a D-class demon or higher on your own without difficulty?’

Of course, just because his running got faster, that didn’t mean his attack power improved.

But what if we put a good weapon in Lim Do-gyun’s hands?

‘For example, a bow.’

Of course, a hunter’s bow uses magic arrows as standard.

Therefore, no matter how good the bow was, if it was in the hands of an E-class hunter, its attack power was bound to be very poor.

Can you even fire one shot properly in the first place?

‘But what if it’s not a magical arrow?’

“Dogyun hyung, listen to this.”

“huh? “No, yes?”

Lim Do-gyun, who was holding the bow given by Su-ho in his hand, made a puzzled expression.

“Guild leader, why is this? I don’t have enough magic power, so I can’t use a weapon like this… ….”

“Because I know, let’s just aim for a demonstration first.”

“…?”

Although Lim Do-gyun did not understand, he obediently followed Su-ho’s words.

Joowoouk-

The moment he pulls the bowstring.

“Mino, shapeshift.”

“…?!”

Shwaaaagh!

Lim Do-gyun could not help but be shocked.

Suddenly, the shadow minotaur that was fighting with Guardian ran towards him and turned into a single black arrow.

[Mino Lv.1]

Transmogrification – Arrow

“Hehe, hehe… ….”

[Mmmuuuu!]

“Hey, what is this? scared.”

Lim Do-gyun suddenly looked at Su-ho with his hands trembling as he saw a black shadow arrow fluttering ominously on his bow.

“Soo, Suho? No, guild leader? This, this… …”What happens if I shoot you?”

“What happens? “It will fly forward, right?”

“I guess so….”

“Now, take a shot.”

“….”

At Su-ho’s urging, Lim Do-gyun closed his eyes tightly and pointed the shadow arrowhead toward those scary-looking beasts.

and.

Tuk.

The moment you let go of his hand.

[Mmmuuuu-]

Kuwaaaaaaa!

“Hey?!”

The black ray of light left his hand and passed through a large hole in the body of the gigantic beast like a cannonball.

Lim Do-gyun’s expression as he stared blankly at that scene was a sight to behold.

“W-What on earth is this…?” ….”

“What is it?”

Suho smiled and answered.

“From now on, my brother is also a full-fledged combatant of the Woojin guild.”

“…”Guild leader.”

At those words, Lim Do-gyun’s eyes as he looked at Su-ho quietly fluttered.

E-class hunter.

He is the weakest hunter who deserves to be a miner, not a fighter.

That was who he was.

‘…I am weak.’

no.

Always been weak.

so that….

‘I always just ran away.’

From scary demonic beasts.

And from his mother who tried to kill him by turning into Mistburn.

and.

‘Even from her father who killed her mother.’

mother.

Still, when Lim Do-gyun falls asleep, he always dreams of ‘that day.’

In that dream, there was always a father who casually killed his mother, a demonic beast.

I saw my father like that before my eyes.

-Ugh!

-Do, Do-gyun…!

…He was so scared that he turned his back on his father and ran away.

So forever, until the dream ends.

Lim Do-gyun ran and ran endlessly.

To run away from his father.

maybe….

It must have been from then on.

‘My life was always about running away.’

Did you gain running skills after awakening?

That was probably a natural result and a natural reason.

‘Because I am weak.’

Even after awakening, it is only an E grade.

Because he is still not as strong as his father, who is an S-class hunter.

however.

Right now, Lim Do-gyun was looking down at his own two hands that had killed an extremely strong magical beast in one fell swoop.

My hands were shaking with belated excitement.

Of course, he had no intention of being mistaken.

This power was not his own.

It was just a manifestation of the ability that Seong Su-ho had temporarily lent to him.

But why?

Just from this one experience, I felt like I had gained courage that I had never had before.

“…”Suho.”

Lim Do-gyun looked at Su-ho with serious eyes.

And he revealed an important secret that he had been hiding until now.

“My father actually…” ….”

“Ah, you are Lim Tae-gyu, leader of the Reaper Guild? “I know.”

“I’m Tae…what? Uh, how did you do that?!”

Suho looked at Lim Do-gyun’s shocked appearance in bewilderment.

“What should I do? Even though we look alike, we are so similar. “If you don’t know that, you have to return your certificate of acceptance to Korea University’s College of Fine Arts.”

“….”

“Anyway, seeing as you’re finally saying that, I guess you’ve gained some courage now, don’t you?”

“What?”

chin.

Suho placed his hand on the shoulder of Lim Do-gyun, who looked puzzled.

And he smiled meaningfully, his eyes shining.

“So now, can you please contact your father directly?”

“W-what kind of communication?”

“I’ve been getting calls these days asking me to return the weapons they lent me. Haha.”

“…huh?”

A class A weapon that Lim Tae-gyu lent to Su-ho before going to the Glacier Dungeon.

The ‘Reaper’s Bow (replica)’ was no longer there because it was taken away by the ice elf Sirka who left with his mother.

Even if Suho became rich overnight, it was only 1 billion won.

No matter how much Echo Forest’s spring water is selling like hotcakes, it’s only been a few days since sales began.

So there was no money yet to pay for those expensive Class A weapons.

“So, take this opportunity to make peace with your father. If possible, could you please hand over the advanced dungeon to me? ….”

“….”

Looking at Suho’s brightest smile, the emotion on Lim Do-gyun’s face quickly cooled.

* * *

And that time.

“…Chacha!”

Sirka was urgently calling out to Cha Hae-in, aiming the Reaper’s bow (replica) at the sky.

Wow!

At those words, Cha Hae-in also looked ahead with a heavy expression.

“That can’t be….”

Gray blizzard.

A huge shadow loomed beyond it.
