Chapter 65
Chapter 65: The Power of New Techniques (2)
The hunt continued smoothly after that.
Originally, whenever Ihae-in’s party encountered more than ten monsters, Jinhyeon Park would notice first and they’d retreat if the numbers were too great, but now there was no need for such caution.
At a T-shaped intersection where more than ten Labyrinth Goblins lurked on each side, Ihae-in’s party pressed forward anyway—Dohyun’s party handled one group of ten while Ihae-in’s party took the other, and both succeeded in their hunts.
Of course they all succeeded in hunting, but the real problem was something else.
“…They were faster than us again.”
“What exactly are these newcomers….”
“I have no idea. It’s terrifying.”
“All I know is that they’re impressive. If these newcomers existed, they should’ve been famous even in the E-rank Zone, but has anyone heard of such a party recently?”
“….”
Meanwhile, as such conversations continued, Ihae-in increasingly believed Dohyun’s party were Guides, and found herself observing them cautiously.
Ihae-in’s party was genuinely kind to others, even volunteering as guides themselves, but human nature dictates that having what you assume are police officers constantly around makes you nervous, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
So while Ihae-in said nothing, she couldn’t help but acknowledge Dohyun’s party’s abilities.
Though Ihae-in remained silent, her other party members didn’t notice and continued discussing Dohyun’s party.
“I heard there’s been a rising new party in the E-rank Zone recently.”
When Jinhyeon Park answered Park Honggu’s question that way, Yejin Han, their Healer, nodded as if she’d also heard about it.
“Right, I heard it was a party led by someone named Dohyun, and they supposedly annihilated an Elf party?”
“Really? I heard they cleared a Dungeon with only three people?”
At Yejin Han’s words, Jian Yun tilted her head in confusion.
Annihilating an Elf party and clearing a Dungeon with only three people? Even if only one of those was true, they’d have to be an extraordinarily powerful party.
Then Ihae-in suddenly recalled something and spoke up.
“Hmm, I heard they were a grateful party who sold me Dwarven weapons….”
Everyone looked at Dohyun’s party with confused expressions at all these stories, but since they were using the alias Minwoo instead of Dohyun, no one realized they were discussing the same people.
In any case, such a party did exist, but there was definitive evidence they weren’t the same people.
“But that Dohyun supposedly just entered the E-rank Zone last week. There’s no way these people are the same person.”
“Besides, their names are different anyway.”
“Right.”
“Hmm, it really doesn’t make sense for someone who just entered the E-rank Zone last week to be in the D-rank Zone now.”
“It’s impossible.”
When even Ihae-in dismissed it as impossible, everyone stopped talking about Dohyun’s party.
There was no point discussing people who weren’t even the same person.
They’d simply confirmed that some new rising star was remarkably strong.
As Dohyun’s party discovered and hunted more monsters, Jinhyeon Park clicked his tongue in disbelief.
“That person named Minwoo detected them faster than I did.”
“…Faster than Jinhyeon?”
“Isn’t Jinhyeon one of the best at detection among D-rankers?”
“Yeah.”
Everyone looked at Jinhyeon Park’s words in disbelief, and without realizing it, Ihae-in murmured to herself.
“These people could probably venture out alone from tomorrow without us.”
Normally, they should have objected, but none of them could do anything but accept it.
The presence that Hanalin and Jiyuchan displayed was enough to leave jaws hanging, and Dohyun’s versatility felt like something no one could ever match.
He found the path better than Jinhyeon Park, the Guide himself, and was even doing detection work well.
And that wasn’t all—his combat power surpassed even Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who were already astounding. Dohyun could only be seen as a Monster rather than a person.
And Ihae-in, witnessing this, spoke up.
“Those people will adapt well even on Basement Level 2.”
“…Yeah, they probably will.”
“There really are people operating on a completely different level.”
“When the gap is that wide, you don’t even feel jealous.”
“…Will the kids at the Dormitory even believe us if we tell them?”
At Yejin Han’s final remark, everyone unconsciously shook their heads.
They probably wouldn’t believe it. Even they, witnessing it with their own eyes, could barely believe it—so who would believe it from mere words? Besides, Ihae-in was deeply mistaken about something, so she instructed her party members.
“Just in case, let’s make sure not to mention Minwoo’s party to anyone else.”
“…Okay.”
“There’s no one to tell anyway.”
“I’ll be careful.”
“Got it.”
Everyone nodded and agreed with Ihae-in’s words.
Ihae-in was being cautious because she worried that if information about those agents spread, it might bring disadvantages to her group as well.
Of course, the Dohyun Party, unaware of this fact, was busily hunting Monsters and bickering.
“This time I caught two more.”
“You blocked my magic!”
“Either way, I caught them.”
“Ugh, what does it matter who catches more?”
“It matters!” “It does!”
Between Hanalin and Jiyuchan, Dohyun was shaking his head wearily with an expression that said ‘why are they like this?’
* * *
When the hunt ended and they returned to Safe Zone 53 Gwangdo, Dohyun took charge of guiding them to verify whether he had accurately grasped the path. His navigation was precise.
As Dohyun opened the door and entered Sector 53 Corridor, Jinhyeon Park, who had been following behind, became somewhat deflated and hung his head in dejection.
He had spent nearly a year learning to navigate that path well, yet Dohyun, who had only just risen to D-rank, was finding the way faster than him. His disappointment was only natural.
“…My year of effort…”
“…It’s okay. You’re doing well too.”
Behind the dejected Jinhyeon Park, Yejin Han offered comfort, and everyone was equally amazed by Dohyun’s abilities.
To think he could navigate like that.
Even as they marveled, Dohyun scratched his head awkwardly.
‘There’s no way I wouldn’t be good at finding paths.’
Dohyun was fundamentally structured to excel at pathfinding.
Of course, Dohyun also possessed a pathfinding skill.
[You have arrived at your destination.]
The absurdly overpowered Analysis was even providing navigation, so he essentially didn’t need a pathfinding skill at all.
I noticed Jinhyeon Park’s disappointment and felt a twinge of guilt, but what could I do? I was simply fortunate to possess the Fraud trait.
Just as I was about to guide everyone back to the Dormitory without giving it much thought, I witnessed something peculiar.
Not just I, but everyone present couldn’t help but wear confused expressions at this strange sight—and it was because of the Elves, known to be one of the superior races.
Elves were common enough to spot, so their presence wasn’t unusual, but what was strange was their behavior.
They were using a Spirit at the forefront like a tracking hound, searching for something, and watching them, a suspicion crossed my mind.
‘Are they looking for me?’
Could they be searching for the culprit who killed Jerpael in the E-rank Zone?
Since Jerpael had essentially been killed by Agni’s NTR, I wondered if they were releasing Spirits like this to find someone who could manipulate them, and I considered whether I should distance myself.
But since I hadn’t formed a contract with any Spirit, it should be fine, I thought at that moment.
Then one Elf Tribe approached us and spoke.
“Stop right there, you inferior races.”
At their oppressive tone, as if they were some kind of authority, Ihae-in and everyone else frowned.
This Sector 53 Corridor didn’t have any particular owner—it was a place everyone used freely—yet they dared speak with such arrogance.
Ihae-in stepped forward as our representative and stood before the Elf Tribe, asking a question.
“What is the matter?”
Though using respectful language, her tone was quite firm, and the Elf who appeared to be their leader seemed quite irritated by it.
However, as if he had no time for this, he spoke.
“We’ll conduct a brief inspection.”
As Ihae-in tried to block him without even asking permission, the atmosphere grew ominous, and I could see something.
The Spirit the Elf Tribe had brought forward flinched upon seeing me, then gazed at me with a distant, longing look. And with a resolute expression, it turned its body to move away from my group.
As if it didn’t want to remain here any longer.
The Elf who appeared to be their leader cleanly ignored Ihae-in and turned to the Spirit Mage.
Then the Spirit Mage responded.
“It seems reluctant to stay here. It would be better to search elsewhere.”
“Of course—there’s no way a lowly human race would have high Spirit affinity. Let’s go.”
With those words, as the Elf Tribe departed, Ihae-in’s party members glared at them with dumbfounded expressions.
They came of their own accord, announced an inspection, and left just as arbitrarily—it was an attitude that naturally bred contempt.
“Seriously, they came first.”
“Why are all Elves like this?”
“It’s truly disgusting.”
“Tell me about it.”
As everyone voiced their complaints one by one, I scratched my head watching the Spirit gaze at me with that distant, longing look even as it departed, waving its hand secretly from the Elves.
I suppose I should consider this as the Spirit helping me out?
With that thought, I remained still when Hanalin approached me and asked.
“Could it be because of what we caught last time?”
At Hanalin’s cautious question, I nodded and replied.
“Probably.”
“…We should be careful.”
“I’ll be cautious too.”
When Jiyuchan, who had overheard our conversation, replied the same way, I looked at the Spirit departing in the distance as if to say it was fine.
And he spoke in a reassuring tone.
“It’s probably nothing. He just left a moment ago anyway.”
“That’s true.”
“Hmm, but there’s no harm in being careful.”
Hanalin nodded in agreement at Dohyun’s words, and though Jiyuchan spoke that way, he too seemed quite relieved.
Dohyun watched the Elves searching about like that, finding it both amusing and strange.
‘Why are they searching for me specifically?’
It didn’t seem to be simply because I’d killed Jerpael.
While they were said to have strong cohesion, that only applied to the World Tree, and they weren’t the type to fuss this much over merely killing one of their own.
Because of this strangeness, I decided that if the opportunity arose later, I should find out the reason.
As I was about to return to the Dormitory, I recalled the Spirit that had been struggling to distance itself from me until the very end, and I thought to myself.
‘It really is cute. I wonder if Spirit Summoning Circles drop anywhere?’
Without realizing it, I’d already thought of the Elf Tribe that had moved far away, and I had such a thought for a moment.
‘I wonder if they drop when I hunt Elves?’
At the sight of Dohyun having such a sinister thought, Hanalin and Jiyuchan suddenly trembled and turned their heads to look at him, but when his expression returned to normal, they had no choice but to let it pass.
‘I felt something like Dohyun’s characteristic aura just now….’
‘…Was it just my imagination?’
The two, whose senses had become increasingly sharp when it came to Dohyun, and Ihae-in’s Party were able to return to the Dormitory together.
