-Splurrrrrsh!!!!
-Spluaaaash!!!!
It looks as if the Gatpa heads are being severed simultaneously,
but in reality, there are minute gaps between each cut.
Of course, only someone with Choi Mu-ryeong’s level of skill could perceive those gaps.
To ordinary people’s eyes,
it simply appears as if the Gatpa heads are severed all at once,
with blood spurting from their necks simultaneously.
As if,
an invisible giant god had drawn a sword and swung it.
-Gulp.
This would be unbelievable even as a secret ultimate technique,
yet Lee Tae-pyeong is using it like a basic attack.

-Splurrrrrsh!!!!
-Spluaaaash!!!!
Gatpa heads rolling around everywhere.
And headless torsos that haven’t even managed to fall yet.
-Blink…!
A severed Gatpa head that hasn’t even realized it’s been cut off,
in the time it takes to ‘blink’ an eye.
Once again.
-Splurrrrrrsh!!!!!
-Spluaaaaash!!!!!
As if it were a watermelon field.
Gatpa heads fill the blood-soaked rice paddy.
-Drip.
Choi Mu-ryeong was breaking out in cold sweat without realizing it.
‘What the hell is this monster…?’
Monster.
Neither criticism nor mockery.
Pure admiration.
The cool yet burning sensation felt when facing a being from another dimension.
“…”
Choi Mu-ryeong readjusted his grip on his sword.
His palm was also damp with sweat.
‘If Lee Tae-pyeong hadn’t been here…’
The Tsushima Island dungeon conquest might have taken a week, no, maybe over a month.
Without Lee Tae-pyeong, who else would have summoned Maeng Ju-im,
and who else would have used [Temptation] to ‘massacre’ thousands of Gatpa at once?
If they had gone the ‘orthodox’ route without Lee Tae-pyeong.
Rooting out the Gatpa that had occupied Tsushima Island.
Would never have been easy.
-Slash!
Even while ceaselessly beheading Gatpa,
Choi Mu-ryeong couldn’t take his eyes off Lee Tae-pyeong.
‘…Lee Tae-pyeong is different.’
Of course,
Choi Mu-ryeong had also killed a similar number of Gatpa.
Nevertheless, the reason Choi Mu-ryeong felt a difference in ‘class’ was…
Due to a fundamental difference in experience and instinct.
Choi Mu-ryeong knew everything about Gatpa perfectly.
What their racial characteristics were, what their habits were, what their strengths and weaknesses were, how to dodge and how to strike.
He knew because he had learned.
He knew because he had experienced it.
But Lee Tae-pyeong was different.
Lee Tae-pyeong knew instinctively.
No, it wasn’t even knowing.
That was closer to his body moving before he could even be aware of it.
Like wind blowing.
Like leaves falling.
Like waves crashing,
Like grains of sand being swept away.
Natural slaughter.
Therefore, perfect death.
-Crack!
Brain.
-Slice!
Neck.
-Stab!
Heart.
-Snap!
Spine.
Movements that knew where to cut, where to stab, where to sever.
This was literally divine slaughter.
[Thousand-Year Vitality].
When he first heard about that trait,
Choi Mu-ryeong had certainly frowned.
But now he had no choice but to acknowledge it.
‘Lee Tae-pyeong is…’
The fact that he is death itself.
* * *
30 minutes elapsed.
-Gulp, gulp, gulp.
I frantically poured stamina potions into my mouth.
The taste of orange juice with a bit more bitterness added.
-Gulp, gulp, gulp…
It’s quite delicious in its own way, but the flaw is that you get sick of it right after drinking two or three bottles.
It’s pretty tasty in its own way, but the problem is that you get sick of it right after drinking two or three bottles.
“Puha…”
After downing about twelve bottles of high-grade potions in one go.
I looked around with a refreshed expression.
-Thud…
The flat rice paddy,
had become like a shallow hill as the Gat-pa corpses piled up,
-Splash…
-Splash…
The rice paddy floor that had been sticky with the Gat-pa’s mucus,
was now filled with blood deep enough to submerge one’s ankles.
The disgusting rotten smell that had spread throughout the island,
was now covered by the stench of blood.
“It seems like we killed them all, but the demonic realm hasn’t been lifted yet?”
I asked Choi Mu-ryeong with a puzzled expression.
“There must still be Gat-pa we haven’t found.”
“Ah.”
“I think we need to eliminate all the eggs in their breeding grounds for it to be lifted.”
Gat-pa we haven’t found…
Right.
Come to think of it, some of them did escape.
Probably the quick-witted ones who had already fallen into a [Fear] state before Maeng Ju-im’s [Charm] could take effect.
Those guys can’t be summoned with Maeng Ju-im’s [Temptation] anymore.
What should we do…
-Flash!
“Ah, that would work.”
I had a good idea.
I took out the [Cerberus Whistle] from my inventory.
-Tweet!
When I blew the whistle briefly,
-Grrrrrr…
Cerberus instantly revealed itself from the shadows.
“Hey, the big fight is already over, so don’t try to act cool.”
-Whine?
Cerberus immediately lowered its tail at my words.
The creature lowered its body as if bowing,
and when I just stared at it, it completely rolled over on its back and wagged its tail frantically.
Hehe.
Are all dogs like this?
“I didn’t call you to play, so get up, you fool.”
-Jump!
“You see all these guys scattered around here?”
-Woof!
-Woof!
-Woof!
All three heads bark simultaneously.
What a resounding response.
“This isn’t all of them. There are guys hiding on this island, so find them and kill them.”
-Woof!
-Woof!
-Woof!
Again, all three heads respond individually.
Then,
-Whine!
-Grr!
-Tremble tremble!
The three heads trying to go in different directions.
“These damn…”
Sigh.
-Whine!
-Whimper!
-Grr!
Cerberus regained its discipline.
“Your enthusiasm is good.”
-Woof!
-Woof!
-Woof!
“But you have one body, so you need to cooperate, you brats.”
-Whimper…
-Whine…
-Grr…
It seems each head wants to be praised individually.
In situations like this, the owner needs to step in and direct traffic.
“For this job, Geumjjok-i will be in command.”
At my words, the middle head Geumjjok-i perked up its ears.
“Left and Right, listen well to Geumjjok-i.”
-Whine…
-Whimper…
“I’ll give each of you a turn to lead.”
Of course.
I’m a fair owner.
-Glance…
After glancing at each other,
Cerberus seemed to reach an agreement and wagged its tail.
“Good, now go and kill them.”
-Woof!
-Woof!
-Woof!
Cerberus shot out like an arrow.
Now, what’s left is…
“Should we look for the breeding ground?”
“Yes.”
“Should I have Cerberus do it?”
“The smell is different, so it would be difficult for Cerberus to find.”
Hmm.
So we have no choice but to walk around and search for it ourselves.
“This time we should also check small ponds or dried-up reservoirs.”
Ah.
This kind of thing is boring.
“It would be nice if we could pull up all the eggs with Maeng hyung’s ability…”
“Don’t talk crazy.”
At my words, Maeng Ju-im looks disgusted.
Sigh.
Can’t be helped.
We’ll have to search for them one by one.
Still, the good news is,
the fog is finally starting to lift.
Moreover,
since we’ve killed all the Gat-pa.
The other teams should be able to move without burden too.
Finding the breeding ground shouldn’t take too long either.
“Alright.”
I roughly wiped the blood splattered on my face and looked at the two of them.
“Shall we go right away?”
* * *
Ganeisi Ruins.
-Bang!!!!!
-치이이이이이이—-!!!
Everyone had gathered at this place where Korea Team 1 had fired the flare.
Choi Mu-ryeong immediately checked the personnel count as if familiar with the routine.
There were no casualties.
“Any injured?”
“Ask that after giving them a chance to get injured!”
Ban Hae-yeong grumbles.
“As soon as we encountered the Gat-pa horde, they disappeared.”
At Han Si-on’s words, Ban Hae-yeong taps Lee Tae-pyeong’s shoulder.
“You’re the one who wiped out all the Gat-pa, right Tae-pyeong?”
“Did you notice?”
“Ah, seriously~ Play fair!”
“Haha. Sorry. I also got carried away by the ero… I mean…”
Lee Tae-pyeong closes his mouth briefly, then corrects himself.
“I didn’t know [Temptation] would work this well. Maeng hyung is still alive!”
Ooooh~!
Everyone was impressed, but Maeng Ju-im, whose face had turned pale from retching multiple times, couldn’t say anything.
“Anyway, all’s well that ends well. I didn’t expect it to end this quickly!”
Hahahaha! Ban Hae-yeong laughs heartily.
No hunters died, no hunters were injured, no hunters were infected.
From South Korea’s perspective, it was a very successful raid.
“I knew Team 2 would pull something off~.”
“…It’s thanks to Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong.”
Choi Mu-ryeong calmly states the facts.
“Impressive. It’s a shame I couldn’t see it with my own eyes.”
At Seo In-ha’s words, Lee Tae-pyeong grins.
“Well, there’s still collaboration left with Baekya Guild, so it’s not like there won’t be opportunities.”
“I’d like to discuss that collaboration too…”
“The raid isn’t even over yet, so let’s talk about it when we get back.”
Lee Tae-pyeong naturally changes the subject, while Seo In-ha can’t hide his disappointment.
“By the way…”
Lee Tae-pyeong glanced around.
All the Korean Hunters had gathered,
but there were no Japanese hunters.
Of course, Lee Tae-pyeong had confirmed with his own eyes that the barrier mage ‘Shinya’ was dead.
But what about the rest of the personnel?
At the very least, shouldn’t Nakamura Ryohei, who’s ranked 4th in the world, show himself?
We even killed all the Gat-pa for them.
As Lee Tae-pyeong looked around with a puzzled expression,
Choi Mu-ryeong, who seemed to understand what he was thinking, spoke up.
“By any chance, did you see any Japanese hunters?”
“Not at all. Didn’t even catch a glimpse of them.”
At those words, Lee Tae-pyeong and Choi Mu-ryeong exchanged glances.
Did that mean only Shinya barely managed to land?
‘That can’t be right…’
Something felt off.
But right now, there was something more important than finding the Japanese hunters.
“Where did you find the eggs?”
“We saw them in the garden area. Just in case, we didn’t get too close.”
Choi Mu-ryeong nods at Han Si-on’s words.
“There might be Gat-pa hiding somewhere, so everyone please be careful of infection.”
The hunters passed through the castle gate covered in Gat-pa slime and the moss-covered walls to enter inside.
Unlike outside, as they entered the garden where thick fog still lingered,
“This is disgustingly awful.”
Someone mutters quietly.
Where everyone’s gaze was directed,
a truly ‘disgusting’ sight was spread out as described.
The garden was densely packed with ‘eggs’ leaving no room to step.
Eggs the size of tires,
covered in sticky slime and clumped together.
“They really laid them out disgustingly…”
Tsk tsk, Lee Tae-pyeong clicks his tongue.
At a glance, there were hundreds.
Maybe even over a thousand.
We killed countless Gat-pa,
and now there are a thousand more.
‘I’m sick of this, really sick of it.’
Lee Tae-pyeong stuck out his tongue.
Now everything was just annoying,
and he only wanted to burn all these disgusting things as soon as possible.
“Come on, let’s burn them quickly.”
“If we set them on fire, the temperature might actually cause them to hatch. It would be better to freeze them first and then smash them.”
Lee Tae-pyeong claps at Han Si-on’s words.
“Even better. Then let’s freeze them quickly and smash them quickly.”
“Yes. Then, right away…”
Just as Han Si-on was preparing his ice magic.
“That’s far enough.”
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice was heard.
