Episode 108

Episode 108

-Who were the main contributors to the successful conquest of Tsushima Island’s demonization? Hunters from ‘South Korea’

-Where Japan’s strongest stopped, Korean Hunters passed through

-What the demonization left behind… Devastated Tsushima Island, is recovery possible?

-A hero who fled? Shocking 47 seconds… Nakamura Ryohei “goes into hiding”

-Japanese Government embarks on major Hunter system “review”

-Super Rookie Lee Tae-pyeong’s unexpected performance… “I just did what I had to do”

-Will retired hero “Succubus” Maeng Ju-im make a comeback? Attention on his moves

-Stolen merit points, can they be recovered… International law blind spot

“What a mess.”

Tsk tsk.

I clicked my tongue while scrolling down.

The Tsushima Island demonization conquest must have been huge bait,

because there hasn’t been a single quiet day since the successful conquest.

Not just the Management Bureau,

but even the Typhoon Guild.

As if the barrage of interview requests wasn’t enough,

there were even reporters who found out my personal number and contacted me.

Thanks to that, I even had to change my phone.

“Well, you did perform so magnificently.”

Do Sang-jin, who was folding laundry beside me, added.

“If I couldn’t clear it, I wouldn’t have gone at all.”

-Thud.

I put down my phone,

and started eating the fruit Do Sang-jin had prepared for me.

An apple cut into a rabbit shape.

“I think it was good that we properly warned them during the Han Myeong-jin incident.”

Otherwise, there would have been an overflow of aggro articles.

For example.

Calling me a murderer hunter for killing Kenji.

Actually, that kind of article did come out first in Japan.

That Korean Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong killed Kenji.

But fortunately,

-Kenji had been affected by Gatpa transformation, so there was no choice but to kill him.

-If Kenji hadn’t been killed then, other people would have been affected by Gatpa transformation too.

-Korean Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong did what Hunter Nakamura Ryohei couldn’t do.

-Without him, the Tsushima Island demonization conquest wouldn’t have succeeded.

In Japan, Kurosawa Rei gave an interview defending me.

Nakamura Ryohei was quiet since he was in hiding,

but thanks to Kurosawa Rei giving a rebuttal interview,

articles calling me a murderer hunter or whatever became hard to find now.

The more that happened, the more it only highlighted the incompetence of Japanese Hunters.

Thanks to that, even in South Korea, nationalist articles were pouring out like crazy.

When I turned on the TV, scenes of me cutting down Gatpa appeared on every channel.

Though half the screen was mosaic.

Anyway.

That live broadcast meant to raise the prestige of Japanese Hunters,

ironically ended up making me famous.

‘…Watching the same news for a whole week is getting tiresome.’

I yawned and changed the channel.

Just then, an action movie was being broadcast on a movie channel.

“Oh, I wanted to watch this.”

It was a movie I had planned to watch at the theater when it was released.

I had completely forgotten about it.

How much time has passed.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I went to the movies.’

I’d been quite busy, so I hadn’t even thought about going to the movies.

Should I watch a movie today after a long time.

I properly settled in and sprawled out on the sofa.

-Boom!

-Kaboom!

A movie with tremendous explosions and action swirling around.

“Hmm…”

Unlike before, it doesn’t feel that interesting.

Definitely.

They said the movie industry died a lot after the Tower appeared.

It can’t be helped.

Reality became more like a movie.

It might be natural that movies feel boring.

‘At a time like this, I’d rather go to the Tower once…’

Is this too much of a Tower addict way of thinking?

Do Sang-jin, Kang Min-a, and even Go Ju-hui.

Most of the people around me are begging me to please take conquests easy…

But.

Just resting like this is fine for a day or two.

From the third day on, it gets boring.

How many days has it been since the Tsushima Island demonization conquest ended.

Have I rested for a week?

If I had gone to the Tower, it would be different.

Just doing boring things like interviews.

-Kaboom!!!

I’m getting restless.

-Rat-a-tat-tat!!!!

I was staring blankly at the TV,

then quietly got up from my seat.

Do Sang-jin went to clean the bathroom.

Ujeongmin is at school.

Then sneakily~ lightly!

‘Should I go around the Tower once and come back.’

I stealthily left the living room.

If I said I was going to the Tower, Do Sang-jin would nag me to please rest.

Secretly…

“Where are you going?”

I was caught immediately.

I should have gone out with [Echo Walker].

“…Ahem. I wanted to take a walk.”

“I see. The wind is cold, so make sure to dress warmly.”

Huh?

Did he not catch on?

I smiled and nodded.

“Yes. I’ll dress warmly and come back!”

“How about fish cake udon for dinner?”

Ooh!

I was just thinking of going to the snowy mountain map because I wanted to hunt Ice Bears!

It would be perfect to eat fish cake udon after coming back.

“That sounds great!”

“Since you always look for warm soup after coming back from the snowy mountains, I’ll prepare it.”

“As expected, Sang-jin is…”

Huh?

Wait.

How does he know I’m going to the snowy mountains?

As I stared at him with my mouth agape,

Do Sang-jin smiled as if he already knew.

“You’ve been staying home for a while, so it seemed like it was about time you’d want to go out.”

“…Wow, you can tell that by intuition?”

“I have accumulated data over time.”

I scratched the back of my head sheepishly.

Indeed.

The best housekeeper is different.

Maybe he knows me better than I know myself…

“I’ll be back quickly, so please make that fish cake udon amazing.”

“Yes. Please be careful.”

With Do Sang-jin seeing me off,

I headed to the Management Bureau.

“Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong!”

The Entry Office Employee who lost his hand trying to hold onto me

when I was forcibly kidnapped to the Elven Empire welcomed me.

Thanks to the [Panacea] I gave him then, his hand was safely restored.

“How is your hand?”

“Oh, thanks to this hunter, it’s perfectly fine!”

“Haha, that’s a relief.”

“It actually seems better than before!”

The employee showed me his restored hand.

I was worried since it was an accident that happened while trying to stop me from being dragged away,

but fortunately. Thank goodness.

“Are you going solo today?”

“Yes. I’m going to take a light trip by myself.”

“Haha, I think you said the same thing last time.”

“Well, that was relatively light too.”

I lightly killed about a thousand elves and came back.

“47th floor, right?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll help you enter right away.”

As I sat in the chair, the number 47 appeared on the wall across from me.

The 47th floor of the snowy mountain map where Ice Bears appear.

Compared to the Ice Bears’ strength, the rewards are rather meager.

So it’s not great for repeated challenges.

But why am I going in?

Obviously, because it’s unpopular.

If it’s unpopular, there are no people.

If there are no people, how convenient is it that I can kill them all by myself?

Even when I went in with a party last time…

‘There was no one else but us.’

Hehehe.

I’ll go in and call Cerberus.

Have him herd the Ice Bears,

then kill them all?

That’ll be a good workout for today.

Work up a sweat, then go eat hot fish cake udon!!!

“Entering Babel Tower.”

-Swoooosh.

Now I don’t even feel anything when entering.

Like how no one gets surprised when riding an elevator.

I’ve gotten way too used to it.

-Whiiiiiiing!!!

When I opened my eyes, I saw snowy mountains with fierce, cutting winds.

“Ugh, it’s cold.”

I quickly opened my inventory and equipped the [Fire Rat Leather Hat].

-Whoosh!

Warm heat immediately enveloped my entire body.

Ahh.

Expensive things are indeed good.

I’m glad I bought it back then.

These extreme climate maps appear quite frequently.

Once I got it, it’s been very useful.

“Now, today I’ll…”

-Shing!

Instead of [Severing Catastrophe], I drew the [Sword of Calamity].

The [Sword of Calamity] gleamed ominously in the light reflected off the snowy field.

-Kiiiii…

The screams of the Gatpa were still flowing from the Void Stone in the center.

Rather than feeling bad about it,

it actually felt good to hear?

Is it weird to say that?

Anyway.

If I kill the Ice Bears today, will new screams be captured?

I don’t really understand how this structure works.

It’s fascinating though.

“Well, I’ll figure it out once I use it.”

As I felt on Tsushima Island too.

It fits perfectly in my hand as if it were custom-made.

Unlike when it was the [Successor’s Sword (Incomplete)],

the handle shape and the sword’s length itself have completely changed.

Originally made for elf standards, it felt a bit long, but now it’s about 100cm, the perfect length for me.

Moreover,

“Why is it so light?”

It’s definitely light.

I thought it was light when killing the Gatpa too,

but now it’s even lighter, almost like a feather.

Even lighter than the dagger [Severing Catastrophe]?

-Whoosh!

It takes no effort at all to swing.

Is this thanks to elven technology,

or did I move some sword spirit or whatever and receive a buff?

‘I’ll have to ask the Emperor when I get back later.’

-Softly…

-Softly…

Snow begins to fall.

I watch it for a moment,

-Swish!

then lightly swung the sword.

It looked like I was cutting through empty air, but,

-Slice!

Following the sword’s trajectory, snowflakes were cut in half.

“Oh, this actually works.”

I just tried it on a whim.

This is no joke.

The hide of Ice Bears living in the snowy mountain’s cold was insanely thick.

It wasn’t easy to pierce their hide with ordinary weapons.

Their skulls were incredibly hard too, so usually you kill them by stabbing through the eye socket into the brain.

But,

‘With this…’

I could probably skin them and still have power to spare?

I don’t know how strong it is,

but if I do it right, I might even be able to stab their heart to death.

Of course.

If I want to keep the hide undamaged, it’d be better to target the eye socket like I used to.

But sometimes it’s good to kill them in different ways, right?

I don’t like persistently stabbing only the eyes either.

Moreover,

in the case of Wyverns I’ll meet on the 50th floors,

their hide is much thicker than Ice Bears.

So,

I’ll consider the hide as disposable.

How about I sweep through some Ice Bears for practice.

Well.

It’s a bit wasteful of the hide.

But just collecting and selling the magic stones is profitable business.

-Whoosh!

-Swish!

After swinging the Sword of Calamity a few more times,

I started walking through the snowy mountain where my feet sank deep.

The [Fire Rat Leather Hat] alone provides enough coverage,

so it’s good that my movements don’t get sluggish.

This is why you should spend money, no, merit points when you need to.

Like what happened in Japan,

if you keep being stingy all the time, you’ll end up in deep shit, no.

You’ll be screwed.

‘But still…’

Why don’t I see any Ice Bears?

Normally,

they should come charging out immediately trying to swallow me whole.

Somehow today it’s just quiet.

There’s no way those guys would be lying in ambush.

‘Will they show up as I go?’

-Sink!

-Sink!

I’ve been trudging through the snow field for a while,

-Whooooooo…

In the distance,

on the middle slope of the snowy mountain where a blizzard rages.

I can see gray shadows tumbling around with each other.

‘…What the hell is that?’
