Chapter 147
147: Vagrant (1)
Looking out from within Safe Zone Pureair, which felt as though I had stepped into an aquarium, the beautiful scenery seemed to welcome the Dohyun Party’s return. However, now that we were proper Hunters, the Dohyun Party showed no particular reaction and first sought out the Korean Hunter Association Dormitory.
Still, having lived here for a week, all three of us knew the paths well. We even knew the shortcuts and found our way without difficulty, arriving at the lodging building in no time.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, the Dohyun Party first found an empty room, unpacked our belongings, completed the magical preparations, and then I used the Homeward Anchor in front of the lodging building to save this location.
As if to say we were all set, the three of us nodded at each other, and this time when Hanalin used the Homeward Anchor, chains unfurled with a whooshing sound from midair, ensnaring the Dohyun Party.
Whoooosh——!
With the sound of chains, the Dohyun Party, now accustomed to this, was pulled along by the Homeward Anchor and arrived at our previous location.
The chains disappeared once more as the Dohyun Party safely touched ground.
“Well then….”
Saying so, I unfolded the map, analyzed how far we had come and where we needed to go, and activated the Analysis navigation. After checking the map and putting it away, Hanalin and Jiyuchan finished their preparations, and the three of us set off swiftly.
The sound of air splitting echoed as the Dohyun Party flew forward, cutting through the water with slightly greater speed than before.
‘At this rate, we could cut the time considerably.’
Jiyuchan and I ran while Hanalin used water current manipulation and high-speed flight in midair, cutting through the water—the method was the same as before. But whether it was due to the ten days of rest or the party’s growth in the interim, we were definitely faster.
Analysis confirmed it as well, so the increase in speed was certain.
As I analyzed rapidly, considering it good news, unlike Hanalin who cut through the water, I employed concealment along with perception obstruction and various concealment effects. Moreover, I even created a sound barrier to prevent any reactions from our surroundings. Avoiding monsters as much as possible was definitely the key to speed.
Even with thorough preparations, we couldn’t avoid the monsters in the Narrow Path ahead, so combat did occur, but even accounting for that, our pace was quite impressive.
As we started off refreshingly like this, Hanalin called out from above.
“Should we start hunting from lunch?”
“Yeah, we should start from lunch.”
“We’re doing this to make a living, so we can’t skip meals.”
When even Jiyuchan agreed with that sentiment, Hanalin smiled brightly and continued flying steadily ahead.
Just then, I, who had the widest detection range, and Hanalin, who was flying above and thus could spot things first, called out almost simultaneously.
“Five shark-type monsters ahead.”
“Five sharks!”
With our assessments aligned, the entire party didn’t slow down—instead, we accelerated even faster.
As we pushed forward, the Dohyun Party rushed in at even greater speed, and in that instant, a grayish-white sword aura and a golden sword aura struck the necks of all five sharks simultaneously. As faint blood began to spread, Hanalin used lightning and water current manipulation to contain the blood there, then quickly burned it away with lightning.
If the blood scent spread, at least dozens of shark-type monsters would come rushing in, so we prevented that beforehand. While we could certainly hunt dozens of them, we couldn’t afford to catch every single one we encountered, so we avoided the hassle.
However, I mentioned something to the other two with a slightly concerned tone.
“I’m noticing other Hunters are gradually increasing in numbers.”
The Dohyun Party wasn’t the only one navigating this vast Deep-sea Region, so naturally, other parties were beginning to appear.
Especially since, though still at a distance, the number of parties seemed to increase as we approached the Treasure Map Location, so I examined those parties with a strange intuition. Of course, they didn’t have the information from the treasure map.
“Could it be that the treasure’s location has already been exposed?”
As expected, Jiyuchan voiced that concern.
However, I answered with certainty in my voice.
“The reward from the dungeon is unique, so no one but us has this map. By that logic, the textbooks that come out of dungeons should also be purchasable with points from the Stone Tablet.”
“Ah.”
“Yes. So it doesn’t seem to be that, but there are no humans or those classified as lower races nearby. Looking at it, they’re at least mid-tier races or higher….”
“It seems to be a popular spot among mid-tier races and above.”
From Hanalin’s words, I too could arrive at the same conclusion. Analysis was telling us everything, so we naturally figured it out. And in this case, Analysis kindly explained how we should proceed.
Those of Middle-rank or above could sense something moving swiftly, no matter how much they tried to conceal themselves with cognitive obstruction and stealth. I figured that those with greater skill might even discern what race we were.
Exposure of our identity didn’t concern me, but I worried it might become troublesome.
If some villain took interest and rushed at us, I’d simply deal with them. If they pursued because something seemed suspicious, Dohyun would surely notice, and I could lure them elsewhere. But there was a way to prevent all of this beforehand.
“Let’s increase our speed. Treat this as combat mode—we run at full power until we’re clear of this nearby area.”
At Dohyun’s command, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in acknowledgment.
Dohyun then unleashed his maximum velocity using both Clarity and magic, while Hanalin and Jiyuchan pushed themselves to their limits, chasing after him as they accelerated to escape the region.
In that instant, the three of us became a single streak of lightning, weaving together like one spear as we cut across the area.
* * *
A streak of lightning flickered across the Deep-sea Region. Though the Dohyun Party had employed cognitive obstruction, stealth, and concealment techniques, as expected, parties with keen perception and considerable skill could detect us.
As we rushed forward at such speed, several Hunters nearby caught sight of us and startled in shock.
“What, what was that!?”
“D-did other Hunters just pass by?”
“Wow, they were incredibly fast!”
Everyone moved at a speed so difficult to perceive that they could only blink. It was a velocity that made pursuit unthinkable, so those who barely sensed us didn’t even consider following.
As the Dohyun Party cut across the region, several parties who faintly felt our presence began to murmur.
“Whew~ they were incredibly fast!”
“So fast that perception itself was difficult.”
“Did they use cognitive obstruction, concealment, and stealth while moving at high speed? Such control—are they a Superior Race?”
“They might be Elves. I heard they’ve been doing strange things lately.”
“It was too blurry to tell if they were Elves or not.”
It was quite an odd party. Where were they rushing to so urgently? Several parties marveled at their speed and muttered among themselves.
“Should we… ambush them?”
“Can we even chase them?”
“That’s the frustrating part.”
“But where are they going in such a hurry?”
“Who knows? Whatever it is, it must be quite important, right?”
“Hehe, let’s try pursuing them anyway.”
However, those who barely sensed the Dohyun Party couldn’t even find our traces through pursuit. Dohyun was erasing our tracks as we moved.
Yet there were those who didn’t merely sense the Dohyun Party passing—they perceived us completely.
Most of them were top-tier C-rank Hunters on the verge of promotion.
“They’re quite strong.”
“But they looked human—did I see wrong?”
“No, they were definitely human.”
“An inferior race possessing such power.”
“Hmm, something’s not ordinary about them.”
The Hunters watched the Dohyun Party pass and sensed that something was amiss, committing us to memory. Though they found it unbelievable that we were human, in this realm no one denied what they had witnessed with their own eyes, so they had no choice but to accept it.
“A Human Party destined to rise without question.”
“Strong beings are always welcome.”
“Even among inferior races, the strong emerge.”
“Hmm, I’m curious how long these humans will endure.”
“Ha, if you say something like that, you might get on the wrong side of the Vagrant.”
“Ugh.”
Some muttered incomprehensible remarks and chattered away, but once the Vagrant was mentioned, no one dared speak further.
And even among those not in a party on the verge of promotion, there were those who recognized Dohyun’s Party.
Several of the Six Superior Races took note of Dohyun Party’s movements and murmured among themselves.
Their movements were remarkably skilled—impossible without superior mana control—so it was only natural they drew the attention of the Superior Races.
Excluding the Elf whose attention had wandered elsewhere, the Superior Races present chattered away.
“Humans as strong as those could become like that Vagrant.”
“Well, even so, powerhouses like them will climb quickly.”
“I’ve never heard of a Human Party like that among C-rank Hunters. I should pay more attention to information.”
Others would have trembled at mere mention of the Vagrant, but the Superior Races spoke without concern.
Simultaneously, they speculated whether Dohyun’s Party might become the same.
And among them.
“A strong Human Party. There’s one that comes to mind.”
A silver-haired Yongin with crimson eyes, recalling past memories upon seeing this, smiled faintly.
And gazing at Dohyun’s Party, which resembled an island fortress receding into the distance, he murmured.
“Dohyun, I hope we meet again someday.”
With silver hair streaming, Hezway—not merely a Yongin—spoke thus while watching where the island fortress headed.
Thinking that if fate allowed, they would meet again, Hezway left that place.
And approaching one obsessed with information, Hezway asked.
“I’m looking for information on Davy Jones. Can you find it?”
“What!?”
At those words, the Information Merchant stared at Hezway in disbelief.
That name—the nightmare of this Deep-sea Region, one who reigned as its king without exaggeration. Just as the Information Merchant was about to protest.
“I’ll pay 10 million points just for his location.”
At such an enormous sum of points—difficult to accumulate even in a C-rank Zone—the Information Merchant’s jaw dropped.
