Chapter 119
119: C-rank Zone (3)
Since the Dohyun Party was also targeting them, I wasn’t surprised or frightened that our enmity had stretched this far. However, knowing they were formidable opponents, all three of us were considerably tense. Even I, who usually maintained composure, showed signs of nervousness, which made the tension even more palpable.
I glanced at Hanalin as if asking her to reveal more of the gathered intelligence, and she nodded in acknowledgment.
“Apparently, they haven’t recruited additional members, so the vacant position remains unfilled. And that Scarecrow villain we faced back then—his name is Gallaclro, quite a famous one. I’ve also gathered the names and races of the other four.”
This was information I already knew. However, Hanalin’s intelligence proved far more useful than expected, so I couldn’t help but be impressed.
Jiyuchan was equally surprised and muttered to himself.
“She… she even found out all the information I discovered…”
Jiyuchan became somewhat dejected at the realization he had nothing left to report, but Hanalin continued without pause.
As her reports progressed, increasingly detailed information began to emerge.
She provided thorough explanations of the Puppet race—an unfamiliar wooden humanoid species—and the characteristics of Baridus, the Puppet member of the Villain Party. Beyond that, she also explained Sequeran, a Treant of the equally unfamiliar tree-human race.
She also gave me quite detailed information about Krol Rak, the Raven Humanoid, and finally—
“Rachel Lagariell. This villain is the worst. She’s a Black Mamba Humanoid with considerable expertise in poison, and all her techniques are poison-related. Moreover, she possesses techniques of unknown origin. The poison she uses detonates all at once, displaying tremendous destructive power.”
Normally, I would have questioned whether information of this caliber could circulate so freely, but with a villain party with so many enemies, it seemed plausible.
As expected, Hanalin explained this to me.
“In the D-rank Zone, they target not only humans but other Heterogeneous Beings as well, so information was spread widely as a precaution. That’s why they’re famous.”
Jiyuchan nodded at Hanalin’s explanation, but I couldn’t understand one thing and asked her while looking at her.
“But even so, I doubt they’d share such detailed information with humans. How did you find out?”
As I pointed out, the information didn’t seem like something easily shared with inferior humans, so Hanalin smiled and demonstrated through action rather than words.
As Hanalin’s nature transformation occurred and her mana took on magical properties, a transformation spell so subtle that most would never notice it was cast.
It was far more refined and intricate than when the Lov Korea mage Yeonsu Lee had noticed it—a transformation spell so flawless it was difficult to even recognize as magic. Hanalin’s ears became pointed like an Elf’s, and she transformed into the appearance of a Heterogeneous Being.
Then, as an Elf, Hanalin displayed cold eyes and looked at Jiyuchan and me.
Then she spoke.
“Listen here, you inferior species. I detect the unpleasant stench of villains vibrating in this area. Do you know anything about it?”
“Wow.”
“Oh wow!”
As Jiyuchan and I applauded and marveled at Hanalin, who had become a complete Elf, she grew somewhat embarrassed, her elongated ears flushing red before she transformed back into her disguised identity as Kim Alin.
We had to be careful since Choe Phil’s party was here.
In any case, I praised Hanalin and Jiyuchan for gathering such information.
“You both did well. Now let’s formulate a strategy based on this intelligence.”
I said this and opened the status windows of the four I had discovered earlier—or rather, since there was no need to show respect to villains, the four Heterogeneous Beings.
Given that I could only obtain one skill from each, I deliberated for a moment.
With limited remaining AP, I had to choose carefully. However, I gathered as many points as possible from my remaining points, converting a full 10,000 AP, then added all the AP I had to acquire the skills.
Just as with the four villain skills, I also obtained one skill from Choe Phil’s status window, where only one skill could be acquired.
As I used all the converted and accumulated AP efficiently, I smiled slightly.
Then I explained my strategy to Hanalin and Jiyuchan, and since it was quite serious, they listened intently.
Especially when I mentioned taking on Rachel, the strongest of the Villain Party, while also facing one more opponent, they both wore expressions of considerable guilt before nodding with determined resolve.
We discussed proceeding strictly according to plan, defeating them individually as quickly as possible, then regrouping where I would be. Thus, for final preparations, we confirmed what we possessed through simple sparring.
And so the last night before battle passed.
Then I checked my status window.

‘It’s really getting long.’
I muttered to myself while gazing at my status window, which had become difficult to comprehend at a glance even when considering only the newly acquired skills and those whose ranks had risen.
After confirming the five new skills, I smiled wryly at the mana emission flowing from my fingertips and murmured to myself.
‘With this, I should be able to endure much more.’
Upon witnessing the third S-rank skill I had acquired, I felt a sense of fullness despite not having eaten, and as I continued to practice utilizing the skills to their fullest potential, the night grew ever deeper.
* * *
Rachel Lagariell, who had been waiting outside the Safe Zone, tilted her head with a puzzled expression as she gazed toward the Safe Zone Pureair.
“…?”
Her party, including herself, had already spread out in all directions to encircle Safe Zone Pureair, making it impossible for anything to escape.
With their surveillance net inescapable, Rachel carefully examined the Safe Zone despite sensing something amiss, yet she felt nothing at all.
And yet, she clearly felt it.
Countless tiny spears flying toward her, piercing through her as if dissecting her piece by piece. And as they pierced through her, spreading slowly like poison, she scratched her cheek lightly at this strange sensation she had never experienced before.
It was an uncanny feeling.
And conversely, it was also a familiar sensation in some way.
“Hmm.”
Rahel let out a childish giggle, murmuring as though amused.
That sensation just now resembled the feeling of standing before a predator. It was a sensation of fear, the kind only prey feel before being devoured—familiar yet strange. Because of this, Rahel tilted her head toward the Safe Zone Pureair with a childish sound, her expression intrigued.
It seemed the one they were hunting had finally emerged.
The one who had defeated the Zone Boss—perhaps the same person who had slain Gallaclro—had he truly discovered her presence?
‘From this distance?’
Even Rahel could only discern whether a figure was human or not from such a far distance, yet could there truly exist a human capable of perceiving this range?
Even for detection-class Hunters, C-rank would be insufficient.
However, Rahel harbored no such arrogant thoughts.
The world had always produced the unbelievable, and mice capable of devouring snakes could be born in such a world. Thus, she murmured without dropping her guard.
‘A formidable opponent after so long.’
Though he might be weaker than herself, Rahel deemed him undoubtedly strong. One could tell simply by how he erupted like a hornet’s nest disturbed, just as Krol had predicted with a little provocation.
The opponent was strong.
Even if weaker than herself, he possessed the bearing of a true warrior, and such individuals—though presently inferior—possessed the potential of a mouse devouring a snake, capable of striking at her throat in a moment of carelessness. Thus, Rahel smiled and murmured.
‘Gallaclro, this is not vengeance for you, but I shall send the one who killed you to you nonetheless. Wait in anticipation.’
If a mouse could devour a snake, then becoming even stronger would suffice.
As Rahel’s eyes gleamed brilliantly, bubbles began to rise from the thin air bubble enveloping her body. The shark-like seafloor monster that noticed this lunged toward Rahel with gaping jaws, but—
Its speed gradually diminished, and soon it rolled its eyes back, bubbles frothing from its mouth as it transformed into ash.
Unable to even approach due to the poison, it never reached near Rahel and vanished as a handful of dust.
Rahel paid no mind to such a trivial monster and gazed quietly toward the Safe Zone Pureair. As night passed and morning arrived, those who had been waiting in the Safe Zone began to emerge.
Three humans moving as though they knew their positions.
Two of them charged between Baridus and Sequeran, while the other rushed toward the space between Krol and Rahel.
Seeing this, Rahel’s eyes gleamed.
Clearly, it would be difficult to move this way without knowing their positions and hers.
Yet witnessing this, Rahel smiled with childish amusement, and as she watched Dohyun charge between herself and Krol, she thought.
‘You intend to face both me and Krol simultaneously?’
There must be a master of detection among them, yet seeing Dohyun charge between herself and Krol, she smiled with genuine amusement and rose to her feet.
If he comes despite detecting everything—
‘Then I should test just how confident he truly is.’
As Rahel spoke thus, she felt the telepathy directed at Krol and said.
“Baridus and Sequeran, each of you handle the ones charging your way. Krol and I shall capture this audacious little one.”
At Rahel’s words, Krol responded with apparent surprise.
-The two of us alone…?
“Do you dislike it?”
-No, not at all. In fact, I prefer it.
Krol grinned, saying he actually preferred fighting alongside Rahel, while Rahel shook her head upon hearing his voice, as though exasperated.
‘He comes at us with such confidence, yet he knows only one thing and misses two.’
They say ravens are intelligent, but it seems even that is ancient history.
Rahel spoke, watching the pitiful Krol.
“Let’s go.”
At Rahel’s words, Krol fluttered his wings from across the way and charged toward Dohyun rushing between them.
Rachel Lagariell, too, fixed her gaze upon me, dual daggers gleaming in her grip as she offered a coquettish smile before gliding forward with ethereal grace. The very ground where she had stood moments before dissolved into caustic ruin, yet she moved with such velocity that not even a phantom image remained in her wake.
Anticipation coursed through me as I wondered how the impending battle would unfold.
