Episode 48

 

-Looking for horses that can enter the maze!

 

-Urgently seeking blacksmith who can make armor in the style of medieval knights!

 

-Do you have twenty party members to raid the maze together?

 

-Looking for a teacher to urgently teach horseback riding over the weekend! Will pay double!

 

If you asked what the hottest topic among Hunters had been these past few days.

 

It wasn’t raids, nor Manwol…

 

It was the cavalry unit.

 

Manwol’s raid that was broadcast live nationwide.

 

People were completely captivated by those unknown beings who showed overwhelming firepower and mobility there.

 

People were completely fascinated by them.

 

-This raid definitely confirmed that those cavalry soldiers were EX-rank Hunters.

 

-Wow damn… I’m jealous. Other Hunters couldn’t even find their way properly… But they cleared the raid immediately.

 

-They’re not just ordinary Hunters. Even that successful Im Ye-seo was there!

 

-Maybe Baek Sang-hyeon knew about this situation in advance and pretended to be injured?

 

Among them, there were those who had reasonable suspicions.

 

-But is it possible for all 21 of them to be EX-rank Hunters?

 

-What are you talking about. If that wasn’t the case, the raid itself wouldn’t have been possible.

 

-That’s true, right? Does it make sense for EX-rank, which doesn’t exist anywhere in the world, to suddenly appear in such large numbers?

 

-Is this bastard so jealous that he’s denying what’s right in front of his eyes?

 

-Or maybe those cavalry soldiers aren’t Hunters but someone’s summons…

 

-Stop talking nonsense hahahaha

 

Of course, their opinions quickly disappeared under countless ridicule from others.

 

Instead, whether they were Hunters or not.

 

People wearing cavalry clothes.

 

Riding horses like cavalry.

 

Gathering 21 people like cavalry spread like a trend.

 

And while such trends were sweeping outside.

 

Choi Hyun-min in his room corner.

 

He was still in that same place.

 

***

 

Thump. Thump.

 

Choi Hyun-min bit his lips tightly at his unconsciously racing heart.

 

If you asked about the most exciting moment since becoming a Hunter.

 

It would be this very moment.

 

While other Hunters grew by acquiring new equipment and gaining skills.

 

He used lord points to evolve the Block Toys one stage further.

 

And now was exactly that timing.

 

‘Let’s see… The points I’ve collected so far… A total of 2200 points?’

 

The 200 points that were originally remaining.

 

And the 2000 points he gained as reward from this raid.

 

‘With this much… I can immediately move to the next stage.’

 

He glanced over to look at the Block Toys.

 

The guys were still floundering around in the soup like they were surfing.

 

-Kyaa! Soup really has this taste!

 

-You talk like you’ve actually eaten it!

 

-Hmm, I haven’t eaten it, but I think I understand why you’d say that.

 

Even though they had toy bodies.

 

Did Korean blood flow through those guys too?

 

Well, it’s fortunate that they liked it anyway.

 

‘For those guys to move to the next stage too… Now is the right time.’

 

Choi Hyun-min nodded while looking at the Block Toys.

 

The appearance of the Block Toys-

 

The cavalry soldiers’ forms were already far too well known.

 

Especially since they appeared on broadcast by participating in this raid.

 

Now it would be strange not to recognize them.

 

‘Someday the time will come to reveal them to the outside world…’

 

But at least not now.

 

He had started as EX-rank from the beginning.

 

Although his potential was far superior compared to others.

 

Until those potentials fully bloomed, there was no need to step forward.

 

‘If I become famous by showing power that can’t even protect myself, it will only create more enemies.’

 

Manwol, which had already achieved 1st place in guild rankings.

 

Even Manwol, which showed overwhelming power and disparity, had plenty of people openly checking and envying them.

 

‘I need to become stronger.’

 

For Manwol.

 

And for myself.

 

Choi Hyun-min unconsciously clenched his fist.

 

Point consumption was 1600.

 

An overwhelming amount of point consumption.

 

The sight of a large sum being withdrawn at once made him dizzy.

 

But…

 

‘This is ultimately an investment, isn’t it?’

 

He carefully reached out and pressed the ‘Science Level Increase 5’ button.

 

[Increasing the science level of creations.]

 

[Consuming 1600 lord points.]

 

Rumble.

 

Then the bowl of soup he had ordered earlier.

 

Pure white light began bursting out from within it.

 

-Uh uh uh uh?!

 

-Wa, wait! Master! I haven’t finished eating yet!

 

-That’s why you should have eaten and gotten out earlier.

 

Were they flustered by the sudden evolution?

 

The Block Toys who had their heads completely submerged in the soup.

 

Their appearance began to change little by little.

 

‘Cavalry… What comes next?’

 

Within Choi Hyun-min’s common knowledge.

 

Heavy armored knights on horseback were people who enjoyed the medieval era.

 

From the initial stone axes, through ancient times to the current cavalry.

 

Then next would be-

 

Whoosh!

 

‘Huh?’

 

The clusters of light that enveloped the knights’ entire bodies.

 

Seeing the light masses that had been heavy due to the armor gradually getting smaller.

 

Choi Hyun-min tilted his head.

 

‘Getting smaller?’

 

Was the armor disappearing?

 

The knights shrinking to normal human size.

 

The warhorses that had been waiting beside the soup bowl disappeared without a trace.

 

‘What exactly are they trying to transform into?’

 

How much time had passed?

 

From top to bottom.

 

The light that had gradually enveloped their bodies began to disappear.

 

“Wait a minute. This is….”

 

Guards?

 

British royal guards that he’d only seen in documentaries.

 

Toys wearing red military uniforms appeared one by one.

 

-Master, what’s the point of doing this all of a sudden while we’re eating?

 

-Still, thanks to that, our clothes seem to have gotten clean.

 

Clatter. Clack.

 

Having already finished everything off, they appeared looking completely clean.

 

Without anyone telling them to, the Block Toys lined up in a row.

 

‘Somehow this feels familiar.’

 

Choi Hyun-min quietly stared at them.

 

Then shifted his gaze toward the wooden sticks they were holding.

 

“This is….”

 

-It’s a new weapon we got thanks to Master!

 

“A gun?”

 

At first he thought it was just a crude wooden stick.

 

But looking closely, it resembled the matchlock guns he’d seen in history books.

 

-This is called a musket, Master.

 

“Musket?”

 

It sounded familiar.

 

When he asked back with a vague expression.

 

Hans and a few other toys suddenly stepped forward.

 

-We’ll show you directly.

 

They raised the guns they were holding and aimed toward the opposite side-

 

That is, toward where the Bowl of Soup was.

 

“Uh…. Wait a minute….”

 

-Fire!

 

Bang! Bang bang! Bang!

 

One-sided shooting that happened before Choi Hyun-min could stop them.

 

The moment flames poured from the muzzles.

 

Thunk!

 

Holes were punched clean through the container that held the soup.

 

Along with that, broth came trickling down from inside.

 

In an instant, the floor became thoroughly soaked.

 

“Hey, you…. What are you going to do about shooting the gun there?”

 

-Oh no…. It seems it couldn’t withstand it….

 

To think they’d just shoot the gun out of nowhere.

 

The guys spinning their guns around and laughing innocently.

 

Choi Hyun-min’s head was throbbing at the sight.

 

Crash!

 

“Y-Young master! I’m coming in!”

 

While they were having their noisy test firing.

 

A sound like something falling came from outside.

 

Then the door burst open.

 

“Are you alright?!”

 

Secretary Kim.

 

He looked this way with an extremely flustered expression.

 

“Ah…. Nothing’s wrong…. What might be the matter?”

 

“I was waiting outside when I heard something exploding, so I rushed in. I’m sorry.”

 

“That was….”

 

About to speak with him, then glancing.

 

Choi Hyun-min only turned his eyes sideways, toward where the Block Toys had been.

 

Fortunately, as if nothing had happened.

 

They had changed into toy form and were lying scattered carelessly next to the Bowl of Soup.

 

“V-video! I was watching a video of fireworks…. The sound must have been too loud!”

 

“You mean fireworks? Rather than fireworks, it sounded a bit more like, how should I put it, gunshots….”

 

Secretary Kim scratching his head.

 

When he waved his hands emphatically at him, he finally seemed to understand and stepped back.

 

“I understand, Young master. If anything happens! Please don’t hesitate to call me.”

 

“Yes…. If something really happens….”

 

Secretary Kim closing the door with his face full of worry.

 

Only after he had completely disappeared.

 

Choi Hyun-min let out the sigh he’d been holding.

 

Whew-

 

“That was almost a disaster.”

 

-S-sorry, Master.

 

-We’ll never shoot guns at the Bowl of Soup again.

 

“The Bowl of Soup isn’t what’s important. If it’s not something I’m ordering you to do, you absolutely must not shoot guns outside the Maze. Got it?”

 

-O-okay.

 

-From now on we’ll only shoot guns inside the Maze.

 

After receiving their completely unreliable promise.

 

Choi Hyun-min slowly cleaned up the scattered soup fragments(?).

 

The guys who had been frozen stiff at the sight.

 

Began frantically pretending to wipe the floor following his lead.

 

Of course, it was only at the level of mimicking.

 

“That’s enough. You guys rest for a bit. I still have other things to do.”

 

-Phew…. Thank goodness….

 

-Hans, because of you we almost lost the soup!

 

-Sausages and Fang can be taken away, but never the soup!

 

-Sorry…. I have no face to show as captain….

 

The Block Toys whispering among themselves about something.

 

Since they had grown with Science +5 and gained new armaments.

 

There was no immediate use for them right now.

 

“Dehof.”

 

Sniffle. Sniffle.

 

-You…. called, Master.

 

“Could you come over here for a moment?”

 

The barbarian warrior who had been standing a step away with teary eyes.

 

He approached this way while constantly wiping his eyes with his hands.

 

“Why are you crying like this?”

 

There didn’t seem to be any situation worth crying over.

 

When Choi Hyun-min asked, he recited at length in a voice full of moisture.

 

-N-no…. The food called soup that Master gave me…. was so incredibly moving…. It’s like the warriors of my homeland…. sniffle, after finishing battle on those vast plains….

 

“Ah, no, that’s enough. I think I asked for no reason.”

 

To think he could shed tears just from eating soup.

 

His sensitivity alone seemed to be at maximum level.

 

-If not that…. sniffle, do you have something for me to do?

 

“More than that… there’s something I want to test.”

 

Let’s see…

 

Where was this thing.

 

Choi Hyun-min opened the subspace while keeping Dehof positioned in front.

 

He fumbled around in the unknown space for a while, then—

 

“…Found it!”

 

He pulled out a silver-glowing ticket from within.

 

[Special Enhancement Ticket].

 

It was one of the rewards obtained from this raid.

 

When he first got it, he wasn’t sure what kind of item it was used for.

 

But now he had a hunch about where it might be useful.

 

-What’s that? It definitely doesn’t look like something to eat.

 

“It’s called a Special Enhancement Ticket.”

 

-Special Enhancement?

 

When he had obtained Dehof previously.

 

Back then, he had activated it by tearing a golden creature ticket.

 

‘Of course, the effect is completely different from that item.’

 

According to the description, this ticket.

 

Could be used on objects or targets that he had ownership of.

 

The Block Toys.

 

These guys definitely weren’t objects.

 

But…

 

‘They’re not living beings either. And I definitely have ownership of them.’

 

Dehof was the same.

 

Since he was originally a creature made from a ticket, wouldn’t he be different from ordinary living beings.

 

“Just stand still here.”

 

-L-like this?

 

Choi Hyun-min grabbed and pulled his wrist.

 

When Dehof hesitantly stepped forward, he let go of him.

 

Then the Special Enhancement Ticket he had taken out.

 

He tore the small piece of paper right in front of him.

 

Rip!

 

At that moment.

 

“Huh…?”

 

Sparkling white powder seemed to flow out from beneath the tearing paper.

 

And it began to envelop Dehof’s entire body.

 

-W-what is this, Master?!

 

His panicked voice burst out, but.

 

It was too late.

 

Dehof was completely trapped inside a giant sparkling cloud.
