Chapter 199
199: These… These Are Superior Races?! (2)
* * *
I wasn’t entirely sure if it was sufficient, but after some time had passed, Hezway summoned my party.
My party and Hezway’s party gathered in a conference room separate from the main building, and since the grand conference hall was far too enormous, we met in a smaller conference room. Of course, even this space exceeded thirty pyeong, but it was the smallest room available compared to the others.
With only three members from my party and three from Hezway’s, the room felt quite spacious, yet no one seemed to mind. We had gathered for a meeting regarding the hunt for Davy Jones, so such trivial matters were beneath our concern.
Beyond that.
“Are these the only members recruited so far?”
“It appears so. Though some time has passed since recruitment began, I’ve been selective about the parties’ capabilities, and yours is the only one that has joined so far. Dohyun—or should I call you Suhyun, as you requested?”
Since I was operating under a false identity, I had asked to be called by that alias, and Hezway was accommodating me.
In any case, I nodded at Hezway and posed a question.
“Right, that’s correct. By the way, what’s your standard? Would parties at our level or yours suffice?”
At my attitude, which nearly equated Hezway’s party with mine, Hezway’s two subordinates’ eyes twitched, but since Hezway had already said something earlier, they held their tongues.
After all, we were in the middle of a meeting.
Hezway shook his head slightly at my question.
“Even if slightly below our level, it would be acceptable.”
“I see, certainly.”
“With these numbers, defeating Davy Jones would be difficult.”
“True enough. The Deathworm was formidable, but Davy Jones, a named Kraken among them, would be even more so.”
As Jiyuchan spoke casually, Hezway’s rabbit-like eyes widened in surprise as he looked at my party.
The Deathworm! The moment he heard that name, Hezway fired questions at us like rapid gunfire.
“What?! You mean the Deathworm—the D-rank Zone boss? You hunted the Deathworm? How was it? Was it strong? How many of you took it down?!”
Though he was startled and bombarding us with questions, I answered them swiftly.
“Yes, the Deathworm—the D-rank Zone boss, that’s right. We didn’t go specifically to hunt it, but there happened to be an Attack Team there, so we took it down together. At that time, it was quite formidable, but not impossible to defeat. There were dozens in the Attack Team, but only about one party at the level of Superior Races or us?”
After hearing my answer, Hezway nodded quickly. When they heard that I had defeated the Deathworm, Hezway’s two subordinates’ expressions shifted slightly, but they soon returned to their composed demeanor.
Hezway had been momentarily excited, but as I answered swiftly, he seemed to calm down and let out a small cough.
“Ahem. My apologies—I got a bit carried away there.”
“It happens.”
“Based on what you’ve told me, Suhyun, I believe we need at least three more parties of our caliber. With just these party-level forces, I don’t think we’ll be sufficient.”
I nodded in agreement with Hezway’s assessment. If I recalled my skills and other martial techniques, I was confident I could match even B-rank Hunters right now.
‘But Zone bosses are a different matter.’
If we were facing an ordinary Zone boss—a typical Kraken—I believed these two parties would suffice. However, our opponent is cunning, employing intellect, and is incomparably stronger than any ordinary Kraken. Against such a formidable foe, thorough preparation was far better than overconfidence.
As I nodded in agreement, Hezway cautiously broached the next topic.
“So, may I ask why you wish to hunt Davy Jones?”
At Hezway’s question, my party blinked for a moment, exchanged glances with each other, looked back at Hezway alternately, and narrowed our eyes.
Wondering if he had asked something difficult, Hezway tensed slightly as he looked at us, and I spoke first.
“Well… just because?”
“…Exactly. It’s like climbing a mountain because it’s there.”
“We don’t always need a reason to hunt monsters.”
As all three of us said this, Hezway’s expression became blank, as if he had heard something strange, and then—
“Fuhaha, that’s exactly the kind of answer I’d expect from you all. And you’re right—when have we ever hunted those creatures for any particular reason?”
Watching Hezway laugh heartily, Dohyun found himself curious and asked in return.
“So Hezway, why do you hunt them?”
To Dohyun’s question, Hezway maintained his smile and answered while meeting Dohyun’s gaze directly.
“We do it for honor.”
“Honor—that’s admirable.”
“The Yongin Clan are known for their valor, but to prove that valor and uphold our honor, it’s something we must do. Other Yongin have avoided this path, swayed by the infamy of Davy Jones, but I cannot.”
Watching Hezway speak with such confidence while maintaining his smile, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan all thought the same thing—Hezway was magnificent.
They could have avoided Davy Jones, yet instead of retreating, he chose to face it head-on with integrity. That bold determination was genuinely impressive, and they found themselves wanting to stand alongside him.
Of course, that would require more preparation.
For now, the meeting continued.
“You said we need three more parties, right? I know one party already. Their strength is comparable to ours and yours, and they should be able to form a full party.”
As Dohyun spoke, he recalled the Celestial Party. Though many weren’t combatants, he remembered that at least one full party—including Ines and Vera—had been formidable.
Hezway showed interest in Dohyun’s words and nodded.
“If you say so, then I’m certain of it.”
Some might feel burdened by such unwavering trust, but Dohyun didn’t mind and simply nodded back.
“Of course. I guarantee their strength.”
As he said this, Hezway regarded Dohyun thoughtfully.
‘A man with the talent to summon the strong.’
Was it a talent for drawing powerful individuals? Or perhaps charisma? Hezway himself was captivated by it, which is why he trusted Dohyun so deeply. He believed that if Dohyun spoke with such certainty, there had to be a reason—other parties would recognize that too.
So if they could secure one more, they’d have three confirmed parties. Though technically, since the Dohyun Party and Hezway’s party were each three-person teams, they should really be counted as two parties.
A full party consisted of five members, after all.
“Then we’ll need to bring at least two more parties…”
At Hezway’s words, Jiyuchan also spoke up as if someone came to mind.
“If we contact Baek Sabu, we’d have at least two parties.”
“Ah! Baek Sabu—how could I forget!”
“That person would certainly be stronger than our party level.”
At Dohyun’s words, Hezway looked at the Dohyun Party with eyes full of curiosity, as if asking who Baek Sabu was. Hanalin answered first.
“I think you might know them too, Hezway.”
“A party I know…”
“No, not a party, but…”
Just as Hanalin was about to explain,
Dohyun cut in and answered clearly.
“The Vagrant.”
“!?!?!?”
“What!?”
“Huh!”
The impact of Dohyun’s single statement was considerable. And for good reason—the Vagrant was one of the two great legends of the C-Grade Area, rivaling Davy Jones itself.
A wanderer from a world already destroyed roams the C-Grade Area. And with strength that surpasses even the Superior Races, the previous generation of Superior Races had warned their successors to be cautious of the Vagrant.
In fact, the Vagrant’s notoriety was even worse than Davy Jones’s. Unlike Davy Jones, which merely lurked without attacking, the Vagrant occasionally appeared and forcibly seized food—the pressure it exerted was on an entirely different level.
At their words, Hezway and her two subordinates blinked in bewilderment, while Hanalin and Jiyuchan offered them an explanation.
“We happened to cross paths.”
“I received instruction from him.”
Upon hearing their explanation, Hezway regarded Dohyun with an expression that seemed to ask: what exactly is this man?
Though Dohyun was known for captivating the strong, the fact that he could forge such connections even with the Vagrant left Hezway wondering just where his limits truly lay.
In any case, when it came to the Vagrant, one could trust in his abilities.
Hezway made her assessment and spoke.
“Then we shall unite your party with ours, add the full party that Suhyun called, and with the Vagrant included, that makes three parties.”
“Hmm, it still feels somewhat insufficient.”
“It would be good if one more party joined us.”
As Hezway organized the current situation, Dohyun expressed his concern. Since the numbers still felt inadequate, he voiced this worry, and Hezway nodded in response.
Dohyun himself thought it would be good if one more party joined, but at that moment when he felt there was no suitable option, Hezway spoke.
“Since you’ve brought nearly two parties, we shall carefully select the remaining one ourselves.”
At Hezway’s words, the entire Dohyun Party nodded in agreement. Then, one of Hezway’s two subordinates, who had remained silent until now, grew frustrated watching the meeting progress so sluggishly and furrowed his brow sharply as he spoke.
“Why don’t you search for Davy Jones’s location in the meantime?”
“That’s right. Since Hezway is busy gathering parties, there isn’t enough time for searching as well.”
“You two….”
When the two suddenly approached Dohyun’s party with rather aggressive words, Hezway judged that this had crossed a line and was about to say something when Dohyun blinked his eyes.
Not only Dohyun but also Hanalin and Jiyuchan blinked in confusion, and when Hezway sensed something in that atmosphere and looked at them, Dohyun answered bluntly.
“I already know where he is.”
“What!?”
“How could a mere human possibly…?”
“Don’t lie!”
Though the two subordinates spoke with open disdain, Hezway was too shocked by Dohyun’s words to dwell on their rudeness.
Dohyun looked at those subordinates and spoke.
“I’m serious. I have this, you see.”
As he said this, Dohyun pulled out the Compass of the Strong and showed it to them, causing Hezway and her two subordinates’ eyes to widen as they swallowed hard.
“An item like this actually exists….”
“Huh. A human possessing….”
“Impossible, how could a human possibly….”
As the two subordinates continued their species-discriminatory remarks to the end, Dohyun smirked and spoke.
“So when are you giving me those 10 million points?”
