Episode 107
‘This is insane…’
Choi Hyun-min muttered to himself.
His field of vision suddenly expanding.
Clearly, what he could see with his two eyes should have been the entirety of his vision.
The moment the radar mode notification appeared.
His surroundings brightened and everything around him came into his field of vision.
As if-
‘Like I’m looking down at myself from above!’
Not only the frontal view he could see with his eyes.
Left, right, and even behind him began to appear, albeit blurrily.
Not only that, but far away.
That is, even the space beyond the hill began to be perceived.
Of course, it wasn’t perfectly visible, but shimmered like a heat haze.
The surprise was brief.
Choi Hyun-min slightly nodded toward Im Ye-seo who was looking at him from the side.
“I’ll take the lead.”
“Pardon?”
“I can see them.”
“You can… see them?”
What is he talking about?
She tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand what he was saying at all.
Regardless.
Choi Hyun-min slowly stepped toward the hill.
‘If radar mode is working properly, then the prison should be right beyond here.’
The next target was the prison.
The location was exactly the same as what the Black Wind Guild people had told them.
“Let’s go.”
When he nodded to the Block Toys standing behind him.
They showed serious faces and nodded back in response.
-Understood.
-If Master takes the lead, we’ll follow unconditionally.
Twenty-six Rocket Troopers.
And Dehof and Ian as well.
As if they had been waiting, they began to climb the hill following behind Choi Hyun-min.
-You could walk a bit slower, Master. I’ll take the lead.
Even in the midst of this, the Barbarian Warrior didn’t forget to step forward, thinking of his master.
And the Black Wind Hunters who were staring at this scene.
“Choi Hyun-min is taking the lead?”
“Right. He’s going ahead of us?”
They seemed to come to their senses and whispered among themselves.
“No, even so, he came to rescue us! How can we let him take the lead?!”
“Th-that’s true.”
“Damn it, you cowards! Even if we’ve been lucky so far, are we going to fall back in a situation like this?”
“Right! Win or lose, we should be the ones going in first!”
The Black Wind Hunters already owed Manwol-
Especially Choi Hyun-min, a great debt of gratitude.
It was Choi Hyun-min who saved them from being defeated by the Phoenix Union.
It was also Choi Hyun-min who came into this damned place with his own feet to rescue them.
As human beings, they couldn’t help but feel sorry toward him.
“Choi Hyun-min!”
“Hmm?”
“We’ll take the lead!”
“Ah, no, there’s no need for that-“
“Let’s go, guys!”
Waaaah!
Dozens of Hunters who had been lagging behind.
They rushed forward and climbed the hill.
Before long, they began running past Choi Hyun-min’s group who had been in the lead.
“W-wait a minute! Even so, the front is enemy territory, so rushing in so recklessly…”
“We can’t let Choi Hyun-min take the lead! Let’s go!!!”
“Uwaaaah!”
Uh…
It seems like they’re not listening.
He thought he should stop them.
Was it because their expressions looked so resolute?
Or was it because Choi Hyun-min still couldn’t speak strongly in front of people he wasn’t familiar with?
The Hunters running forward, raising yellow dust.
Choi Hyun-min could only stare at their backs with a troubled expression.
“Will they be okay?”
And Im Ye-seo, who was following with quick steps from behind.
She was the only one who didn’t join that group and caught up later.
“Well… that… I don’t think they’ll be okay.”
“Pardon?”
“You said there’s a prison right beyond this?”
“Y-yes?”
Does he know something?
Im Ye-seo slightly frowned as she responded to Choi Hyun-min’s words.
“…There’s a trap.”
“A trap?!”
“Hmm… To be more precise, it would be better to call it an ambush.”
An ambush?
When they heard those words, Choi Hyun-min and Im Ye-seo.
And the Block Toys were passing through the highest point of the hill.
That is, the moment they reached a position where they could see clearly below.
Im Ye-seo felt like she had been hit hard on the back of her head.
“Am…bush…!”
Unlike the flat grassland area from before.
From beyond the hill, there were quite a few large shrubs scattered around.
“Do you see that thicket over there?”
“Yes.”
Choi Hyun-min looked at her and pointed to the thickets below the hill.
Round-trimmed green shrubs were placed here and there.
Each one was so large and thick that several people could hide without being noticed.
“First, there are five over there.”
“What?!”
“And four on the opposite side. Behind them, oh, seven. Ah, I’m not sure if they’re people or not, so maybe I shouldn’t call them ‘people’?”
Im Ye-seo was startled by Choi Hyun-min’s calm words.
With eyes that looked like they might pop out, she asked back.
“H-how do you know that?”
“How did it happen?”
“How did…?”
Im Ye-seo wore a dumbfounded expression at the utterly absurd answer.
Soon she realized that Choi Hyun-min’s words weren’t simply meant to frighten her.
No, she had no choice but to realize it.
“Kyaaak!”
The Black Wind Hunters who had been leading at the front.
One of them let out a scream the moment they passed the second shrub.
“Ambush! It’s an ambush!”
As if they had been waiting for them to pass by.
Enemies emerged one by one from the grass.
They were Minotaurs with mechanical legs.
“No!!!”
Im Ye-seo was shocked at the sight.
Forgetting that they were supposed to be approaching stealthily, she screamed.
The bull-like Minotaurs were monsters that only appeared on the 50th floor or higher of the maze.
They were high-level monsters that could only occasionally be seen in the form of sub-bosses.
And it wasn’t just one or two of them.
They were appearing in a whole pack like this.
“This… we can’t win!”
This was 100% annihilation.
Even though she knew this perfectly well.
Im Ye-seo hastily drew the dagger she wore at her waist.
Then she ran down the hill to rescue the Black Wind Hunters-
-Please wait a moment. I shall help them.
Flutter.
Mage Ian blocked her path.
His white cloak fluttered and half-obscured Im Ye-seo’s vision.
“Wa, wait a minute…”
Her vision was half darkened.
Instead.
Through her heightened hearing, the mage’s voice came through clearly.
-Bind.
A brief two-syllable word.
That simple utterance was all that Ian had spoken.
However.
“Wha, what?!”
The scene visible beyond Ian’s robe far exceeded her imagination.
Crack.
Crackle.
Yellow earth-colored hands suddenly sprouted from the ground.
They fiercely grasped the mechanical legs of the Minotaurs.
Moo-!
The bull-headed monsters that had been unilaterally toying with the Hunters.
The ones that had been cutting down the Black Wind Hunters while wielding massive axes.
They couldn’t move an inch, held by the giant hands that had emerged from beneath their feet.
Dozens of them at that.
‘Good… heavens!’
She had seen Mage Hunters before.
But she had never seen a Hunter who could bind dozens of monsters as powerful as Minotaurs.
All at once like this.
‘Those ferocious Minotaurs… can’t even budge?’
Simple binding magic was something Mage Hunters did quite often.
But that was only easy when dealing with one or two targets.
Handling such magic against multiple targets like this was difficult even for ranker-level mages.
From the magnitude of magical power to the delicate ability to control magic.
It was impossible unless one was at an incomparably higher level.
“They, they stopped…!”
“Could it be that Choi Hyun-min did this too?!”
The Black Wind Hunters who had rashly advanced ahead.
They too seemed to have grasped the current situation.
After rolling on the dirt ground against the Minotaurs, they finally came to their senses and got up.
To think they had confidently advanced first only to end up in such a state.
No, rather to be receiving help.
Unable to hide their embarrassment, the faces of the Black Wind Hunters who had advanced turned bright red.
But even in the midst of this.
-Descend.
Ian’s magic did not stop.
The moment his pale arm, which had been raised high, dropped down.
Kwaddddd!
With a loud drilling sound, the ground began to be torn up.
At the same time, the giant hands that had been gripping the Mechanical Minotaurs.
Began dragging them underground just like that.
Mooooo-!
The mechanical monsters screamed at the sudden situation.
But they couldn’t offer even the slightest resistance and were dragged underground.
Not wanting to miss the timing.
Choi Hyun-min snapped his fingers toward the Block Toys standing behind him.
Snap.
“Now.”
The moment his command was given.
The Rocket Troopers who had been waiting all along.
Their long barrels spewed fire.
Bang! Kwang!
Fireballs shot without a moment’s hesitation.
If they could have escaped with their bizarre mechanical legs, it might have been different.
But what could these creatures do when they were already immobilized by Ian’s magic.
The lightning shot in straight lines struck precisely into the Minotaurs’ heads.
Kwakwang!
Chunks of meat flew in all directions with tremendous explosions.
Sticky liquid scattered along with various mechanical parts.
Bolts and nuts.
And flat, thin steel fragments.
Even while seeing it with their own eyes, Im Ye-seo was stunned by the bizarre spectacle.
The Black Wind Hunters who had just been fighting the bull-headed creatures were equally shocked.
“Wo… oow…”
These were creatures that would have been difficult to scratch with their own power.
Yet from a distance, they had turned them into minced meat.
The Hunters who had been rolling on the ground from their ambush.
They remained unable to get up for a long time after the monsters fell, frozen in shock and amazement.
Bang! Bang!
Artillery fire erupted once again.
The moment the Rocket Troopers’ second barrage ended.
Choi Hyun-min waved his hand to make them stop.
Because-
“Stop. This is enough.”
-We haven’t even gotten started?
“This is sufficient here.”
Complete devastation.
The place that was clearly thought to be the Minotaurs’ stronghold.
Had been reduced to ruins in just over a minute.
‘This person… just how much power is he hiding?’
Glancing.
Im Ye-seo, who was beside him.
She pretended to look straight ahead while stealing glances at Choi Hyun-min standing next to her.
She had certainly seen how much power Choi Hyun-min possessed.
She had witnessed it while facing the Phoenix Union.
But every time she saw it, his power and abilities were nothing short of amazing.
“Haah… We’re alive…”
“We’re sorry, Choi Hyun-min sir!”
“Thank you!”
The Hunters who had been collapsed on the ground seemed to have finally calmed down.
They waved their hands toward this direction from over there.
“Could you please tell those people to return here?”
Choi Hyun-min, who had been quietly watching those Hunters.
He spoke softly to Im Ye-seo who was beside him.
“Yes… Yes?”
“Since you’re from the same guild, could you please tell them to come back…”
Im Ye-seo, who had been standing there dazed at Choi Hyun-min’s words.
She answered in surprise, then tilted her head as if finding it strange.
“…Couldn’t you just tell them directly? I don’t think those people would ignore what you say.”
No matter that Choi Hyun-min belonged to a different guild.
To the Black Wind Guild.
To Im Ye-seo and the guild Hunters, he had now become an absolute existence.
He had saved their lives several times.
He was their benefactor who had saved the guild.
There was no way they wouldn’t listen if he spoke to them directly.
At those words, Choi Hyun-min’s lips curled inward.
Then he scratched the back of his head awkwardly and opened his mouth.
“Ah… Still… I haven’t developed that deep a relationship with them yet… It’s a bit…”
That’s right.
She had forgotten.
This person had been holed up in his room for nearly 10 years.
A strange smile crossed Im Ye-seo’s face.
