Chapter 190
190: Finally Arrived! Wait… White Gate? (1)
Upon hearing Lee Jaeho’s words, everyone in Dohyun Party thought they’d misheard. Searching for a Zone Boss in C Zone? For C-rank Hunters, it was something that defied common sense, so they couldn’t help but ask for clarification.
“A Zone Boss?”
“You mean Davy Jones?”
“Huh.”
Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan all reacted differently. Dohyun was considerably intrigued, Hanalin was half-doubting whether she’d heard correctly, and Jiyuchan had already resigned himself to the fact that they’d be going after it.
In any case, it was information that couldn’t help but spark interest, and Lee Jaeho responded by nodding as if he’d expected this reaction.
“Yes, apparently some Superior Race Party is searching for Davy Jones’s location. They’ve even put up points for it.”
At the mention of points, Dohyun’s eyes gleamed, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s eyes twitched as if to say this couldn’t be stopped.
And as Dohyun reacted so enthusiastically, Lee Jaeho continued.
“The bounty points alone are said to be 10 million points.”
“Wow, 10 million?”
“10 million points as a bounty…”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who had initially thought about stopping Dohyun, changed their minds upon hearing the amount. The Dohyun Party currently had about 1 million points each, and with this being ten times that, if they weren’t tempted, they lacked the fundamental qualities of a Hunter.
Moreover.
-We have that compass of the strong, remember?
-Right, if we just use it for directions!
-I’ll avoid my fate then.
When Hanalin connected the three of them through telepathic magic and spoke like that, everyone’s eyes gleamed. Lee Jaeho’s expression also changed, seemingly pleased that he’d brought good information.
When the spear meant for Dohyun shattered, everything had seemed dark, but now the situation was quite different.
Thinking this way, Lee Jaeho shared deeper information with Dohyun Party.
“They’re gathering information at Safe Zone Baul. It’s quite far from Safe Zone Pearlair, which we use on Earth, but if you have any information, it would be good to go check it out.”
“Baul, you say…”
As Dohyun gauged the distance from Lee Jaeho’s words, Analysis quickly informed him.
[Safe Zone Baul is located 3 hours away by ship from the destination marked on the Treasure Map you’re currently targeting.]
‘Oh.’
The distance was reasonable, and perhaps because he was quite curious about which Superior Race this was, Dohyun’s lips kept twitching into a smile.
This expedition seemed like it would be quite entertaining. The location marked on the Treasure Map was the priority, but having additional work lined up afterward was quite satisfying, so Dohyun nodded.
And when Dohyun looked at Lee Jaeho as if asking if there was more, he nodded regretfully.
“I’m running short on time, so this is all I have for now.”
Though Lee Jaeho said this, it was hardly insufficient. The information and items were of considerable quality. Dohyun’s spear had shattered, but he’d gained the ability itself, so there was no dissatisfaction from anyone. Thus Dohyun stood up from his seat.
As Dohyun stood, Hanalin and Jiyuchan naturally rose as well, and Lee Jaeho also stood up.
Then Lee Jaeho spoke to Dohyun Party.
“When you return from this expedition, I’ll prepare items as best I can. I won’t disappoint you this time.”
“Ah.”
“I was satisfied. Please focus more on Dohyun oppa’s things.”
“I agree as well. This time, please prioritize Dohyun’s items.”
“Of course. I’m truly sorry about this time.”
“Ah, these things happen. It’s fine.”
When Dohyun tried to say something this time, Hanalin and Jiyuchan stepped forward with their own objections, and I felt a strange sense of pride realizing how important reliable companions truly were.
In any case, I said goodbye to Lee Jaeho and left his office.
The meeting had gone remarkably well, so my expression was bright. Seeing this, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at me with confusion. Normally I’d foam at the mouth over minor losses, but today I seemed unusually benevolent—though honestly, strange behavior from me wasn’t exactly a new occurrence.
They were about to accept it as just another quirk when I suddenly grinned and asked them both a question.
“Want to test out the new items we acquired?”
“Of course.” “Absolutely.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan answered immediately, and I made a call with satisfaction. It was Kim Changmin, a member of Jang Minhoo’s party and the tank of the Janwol Party.
The call connected, but shortly after—
—This number cannot be reached. Please leave a message after the tone…
“Hmm? Still sleeping?”
As I said this, Hanalin shook her head and spoke.
“Usually it doesn’t end this quickly. The way it cut off so fast means he rejected the call.”
“Oh?”
At Hanalin’s words, I laughed with amusement, and thinking that if we continued like this we’d be able to spar with me, Jiyuchan hurriedly spoke up.
“Well, we had him do drills until early morning yesterday and left him in the Duty Room, so if we go there, he should be around.”
“Perfect. Let’s go!”
I responded to Jiyuchan’s suggestion, and Hanalin gave him a subtle thumbs up for his quick thinking before quickly following behind me.
I headed toward the Duty Room at considerable speed. Sure enough, I spotted three figures quietly slipping out of the Duty Room.
“Oh, you’re just waking up!”
“Eek—!?” “Kyaa—!?” “Eek—!?”
Kim Changmin, Park Yuni, and Kim Yeoha all jumped in shock upon seeing me, as if they’d encountered the Grim Reaper himself, and I smiled wickedly. To them, that smile looked like a demon’s grin, and realizing they’d already run into me here, all three hung their heads in defeat.
And then came the words they’d anticipated.
“Shall we go spar today as well?”
Of course that’s what it was.
Park Yuni and Kim Yeoha shot Kim Changmin reproachful glances asking why he’d suggested sparring in the first place, but they all knew it wasn’t really his fault, so they couldn’t say anything. Then Kim Changmin suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke.
“Um, wouldn’t it be better if it wasn’t just the three of us?”
“Pardon?”
I looked at Kim Changmin wondering what he meant, and he hurriedly continued.
“Our party has four members, and since Minhoo hyung couldn’t join us late into the night yesterday, he also enjoys sparring…”
“Y-you’re right.”
“Oh?”
Seeing the logic in that, I nodded, and at my response, Kim Changmin hastily called Jang Minhoo.
Then—
“Hey! Minhoo hyung! Come to the Guild Training Ground right now!”
—Understood.
Hearing Jang Minhoo’s simple affirmation, Kim Changmin broke into a bright smile.
Watching that, I thought to myself.
‘This is going to be quite an entertaining match.’
I smiled with satisfaction at that thought, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan also showed considerable interest at the news of a new participant joining.
Of course, Jang Minhoo hadn’t arrived yet, but there was nothing to be done about that.
Kim Changmin apologized inwardly to Jang Minhoo as he spoke.
“W-well then, shall we go?”
He’d be dragged back into the sparring hell, but aside from the exhaustion, there were only advantages. His skills were definitely improving, and the feedback was genuinely invaluable. Still, he’d wanted to rest today. With that sentiment, he shed tears of blood internally as he tried to head toward the Sparring Hall.
But then.
“How fortunate that you all have time right now.”
“…Pardon?”
Hearing Dohyun’s words, Kim Changmin turned to look at him, and Dohyun responded while observing Kim Changmin’s reaction.
“If you all didn’t have time, we were planning to do it among ourselves.”
“…Ah.”
So he could have simply refused by saying he had other plans? As Kim Changmin blinked at this realization, he turned his head at the sensation of daggers being driven into his back—and there stood Park Yuni and Kim Yeoha, their eyes bloodshot with resentment as they glared at him.
He’d assumed he had no choice but to participate unconditionally. With tears of blood streaming internally, he closed his eyes.
Either way, it seemed his fate was to spar.
Kim Changmin, Park Yuni, and Kim Yeoha trudged toward the Sparring Hall. And it took less than ten minutes before Jang Minhoo arrived, and the sparring began.
* * *
The Sparring Hall in the Ilseong Guild’s dedicated building was famous for being exceptionally sturdy. It was renowned for containing internal noise and impact so they wouldn’t leak outside, but today was different.
Booooom——!
Crrrrrack———!
Though the entire building didn’t shake, the impact that leaked out caused Ilseong Guild members passing by to jump in alarm—a common occurrence today alone.
Witnessing this, the guild members couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
“What was that just now?”
“It came from the Sparring Hall, right?”
“Didn’t they say a barrier technique was installed there to prevent impact from leaking out?”
“Yeah, but seeing impact leak out like this….”
“It’s unbelievable.”
They chattered on about how powerful the impact must be to escape containment.
Even more so.
“I heard the newly arrived C-rank Party already defeated Janwol Party.”
“Huh? How is that even possible???”
“Minhoo lost?”
“Even if Minhoo is lazy, his skills are decent though?”
“Yeah, and that party is only three people, so they’re short on numbers, but they apparently won anyway?”
“Wow, the world really is vast.”
Since there was essentially no C-rank Party in the Ilseong Guild capable of defeating Janwol Party, everyone could only marvel.
Amid all this, a strange rumor was circulating.
“But apparently it’s a chain-sparring situation, so if you make eye contact, you get dragged into the Sparring Hall.”
“Phew, that’s genuinely dangerous???”
“Ugh, just hearing about it is horrifying.”
“Right.”
“So everyone be careful. Don’t make eye contact either.”
While they all chattered away like this, if Kim Changmin had heard this story, he would have wanted to tell his past self the same thing.
I clearly raised my shield to block, but the moment Dohyun’s spear tip touched it.
“Ugh!”
The impact reverberated through both hands gripping the shield like an earthquake, traveling up my arms.
The shock that coursed through my body shattered Kim Changmin’s grip, leaving him trembling uncontrollably. How had he become this strong in less than a day—not even half a day? It was incomprehensible.
Unable to believe what was happening, Kim Changmin’s knee naturally buckled to the ground from the impact transmitted through the shield, while Dohyun nodded with evident satisfaction.
Feeling the relentless Skill Rupture that penetrated through the shield and into his opponent’s body, Dohyun was pleased. Not only him, but Jiyuchan and Hanalin were equally satisfied with the performance of their new equipment.
And the Janwol Party had been utterly exhausted by the Dohyun Party.
Jang Minhoo was no exception.
“Huff, huff.”
“…Are you okay, hyung?”
Seeing Jang Minhoo so exhausted, Kim Changmin asked, and Jang Minhoo, unlike before, spoke clearly while looking directly at Kim Changmin.
“…Don’t call me next time.”
It had been such a grueling sparring session that even Jang Minhoo would say such a thing.
And after finishing the sparring, Dohyun spoke.
“I wish tomorrow would come sooner.”
And so a day passed, and finally the day arrived when we would set out for the location where the treasure from the Treasure Map was buried.
