Chapter 80
Chapter 80: Why Are You Coming Out of There? (1)
On the sixth day since the Dohyun Party entered the D-rank Black Gate’s Labyrinth Terrain, they trained through the night, and Dohyun’s appearance was particularly extraordinary.
He displayed mana abilities unlike anything before, simultaneously emanating a dark aura that even Jiyuchan, who had sparred with him until now, avoided approaching—instead choosing to spar with Hanalin instead.
Dohyun, as if unconcerned, moved alone, yet his movements themselves were far from ordinary.
His mana manipulation had transcended to another dimension entirely, and watching him, Hanalin and Jiyuchan swallowed hard, whispering to each other.
“That’s…”
“…dark magic, right?”
At Jiyuchan’s words, Hanalin nodded subtly.
Indeed. Dohyun was currently testing one of his new skills—the Aesthetics of Sacrifice.
‘This is incredible.’
As mana efficiently fulfilled its role as a sacrifice, I was experimenting with different offerings, and the most efficient among them was none other than my own life force.
Of course, I wasn’t sacrificing my life force to the point of serious harm—only enough to induce mild weakness, which the Guardian’s body could more than adequately compensate for with some left over.
If there was a drawback.
‘Taking damage here means recovery becomes quite slow.’
Unlike before, when my regeneration became extremely potent and bleeding stopped instantly with flesh gradually filling in, that kind of regeneration would disappear.
However, if that occurred, I could simply convert the sacrifice back into mana and use it again, so it was entirely manageable.
Dohyun didn’t think much of it.
Then, activating the power of Absolute Death and infusing the dark aura into my blade, I could see the wooden target literally decay and vanish.
Witnessing the power to bring absolute death to everything it touched, I used dark magic’s Aesthetics of Sacrifice once more, this time amplifying Absolute Death itself rather than mana manipulation.
Since Absolute Death was originally a B-Grade skill, it had only been manifesting at D-Grade level with my current power—but in an instant, its power surged to C-Grade. The moment its power spiked, I channeled Absolute Death into magic and fired it like a bullet, and everything the projectile touched simply vanished as if erased.
Sizzzzzzzzz———
Watching the target dissolve away, Dohyun scratched his cheek somewhat unsatisfied.
The power itself definitely diminished compared to wielding it directly with the blade.
When used as a sword, the entire target vanished, but when used as a projectile, only localized portions disappeared—leaving something to be desired.
Furthermore.
‘Absolute Death itself is a skill designed for assassinating those weaker than me, so it’s disappointing that it barely works on the strong.’
According to Analysis’s interpretation, it does work to some degree even against the strong, but making entire targets or even localized portions undergo absolute death is extremely difficult.
Yet compared to that, it consumed an enormous amount of mana, so it wasn’t without reason that I had sealed it.
Still, now that I have the Aesthetics of Sacrifice, using it at critical moments might prove quite effective.
With that assessment, I finished my examination and loosened my body lightly, and seeing me finish, Hanalin and Jiyuchan quietly approached.
“You were definitely using dark magic just now, right?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah.”
“You really…”
They’d said “amazing” so many times it had become tiresome, but Jiyuchan couldn’t help but say it.
How long had it been since learning it, and yet he was already using it so skillfully.
If Gallaclro had possessed abilities comparable to Dohyun’s, surviving that place would have been difficult.
To the point where such thoughts arose, Dohyun’s abilities were truly beyond words. Whatever magic or technique, he mastered it instantly.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan couldn’t help but feel stimulated.
In any case, to their questions, Dohyun didn’t particularly concern himself and instead spoke to them.
“So, what do you want to do?”
The question was abrupt, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan understood perfectly.
I was asking whether we should stay here longer or leave.
Six days had passed, so we could depart whenever we wished. Still, I found myself studying their faces, hoping they’d want to remain.
The progress from our training had been extraordinary.
『Ability Stats』
▶「Strength: 45▶48」
▶「Agility: 49▶52」
▶「Stamina: 45▶51」
▶「Mana: 50▶58」
Thanks to the Aesthetics of Sacrifice, I could utilize the Guardian’s body even more effectively, which dramatically increased my stamina. Moreover, thanks to the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline, my mana had grown to nearly sixty.
Naturally, I wasn’t the only one who had grown.
『Jiyuchan』
『Trait: Platinum Sword King [S]』
『Ability Stats』
▶「Strength: 47▶53」
▶「Agility: 35▶42」
▶「Stamina: 40▶45」
▶「Mana: 39▶40」
『Hanalin』
『Trait: Sorceress Supreme [S]』
『Ability Stats』
▶「Strength: 25▶28」
▶「Agility: 30▶31」
▶「Stamina: 26▶29」
▶「Mana: 48▶55」
Jiyuchan’s strength had surpassed fifty, and Hanalin’s mana had soared to fifty-five.
The mana control exercises I’d been conducting had proven invaluable. Beyond fifty, each point becomes exponentially harder to gain, so the gap between us had widened somewhat. Still, since I typically pushed two stats to sixty before advancing, they weren’t far from their own breakthroughs.
That’s why I’d asked them—a bit longer here might accelerate their growth toward advancement.
At my question, Jiyuchan looked at us both with an apologetic expression.
“I have a promise to keep. I’m sorry.”
Hanalin nodded without much concern, but when Jiyuchan spoke of a promise, I narrowed my eyes, studying him carefully despite his obvious discomfort.
And then.
“Oh, you’re quite the social butterfly, aren’t you?”
I began teasing him, but Jiyuchan replied quietly.
“It’s my mother’s birthday.”
“Ah.”
“Oh…”
I fell silent for a moment, swallowing hard, while Hanalin glanced over with understanding.
As Jiyuchan remained quiet, I spoke quickly.
“Ugh, family promises are absolute! Yeah, let’s go!”
Jiyuchan immediately cast Talulah without hesitation, so Dohyun raised both hands without even a chance to tease, and Hanalin acknowledged it with a resigned expression before heading back to the Dormitory to pack.
Since I’d brought a reasonable amount of luggage, there wasn’t much to gather.
After packing quickly, the Dohyun Party headed toward the Central Monument and was able to return to the Hunter Association.
As I exited the Black Gate, I felt the familiar nausea of spatial displacement and stepped outside, then the Dohyun Party prepared a report to leave for Han Muyeol before departing the Association.
Then Dohyun spoke to Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
“So after we celebrate my mother’s birthday, shall we meet again in about three days?”
Since we’d already discussed it, there was no particular objection or disagreement, so both nodded.
After finishing our tasks, we each headed home.
Though I’d returned to Earth after six days, we all went back as if it were the most natural thing.
* * *
When I arrived home, even though I hadn’t done anything particularly strenuous today, I returned looking quite exhausted from having spent six days in the Black Gate.
The one-room apartment was now so familiar, yet it felt strangely empty.
“It’s certainly quiet.”
After spending several days in the Black Gate living in the Dormitory with Hanalin and Jiyuchan, I’d grown accustomed to the bustle, so this silence felt disorienting.
At times like this, it’s good to look at something that soothes the mind.
『Hunter Association deposit: 1,000,000,000 won.
Balance: 2,009,223,680 won』
“Khhhh.”
Just looking at my account balance made me feel incredibly satisfied.
This time I’d exchanged roughly 100,000 points, and now my balance had accumulated to a staggering 2 billion won.
But how many points did I still have remaining?
『Points』
▶「P: 116,496」
▶「AP: 70」
I still had over 110,000 points left.
I wondered if there was even a single D-rank Hunter this wealthy.
Because of this, I couldn’t help but smile contentedly.
Normally, with this much money, I would’ve gone out flexing and buying things left and right, but instead I found myself lost in thought.
With so much money, I could certainly indulge in such luxuries.
Unlike other self-employed workers or entrepreneurs, when a Hunter exchanges points, the amount is already after taxes, so there’s barely anything else to worry about besides health insurance and national pension contributions.
‘Luxury, huh.’
Most Hunters I’d seen did indulge quite a bit.
I wondered if I should too, but that required some effort.
‘Too bothersome.’
Since I had no particular thoughts at the moment, I was pondering vaguely when something suddenly occurred to me that I should buy.
Taking taxis when visiting the Family Home last time was inconvenient, especially when carrying lots of luggage. I had a magic pouch, but carrying it around felt awkward too.
I’d worry about it, but the moment I lost it—
‘5 billion won would vanish….’
Since even the smallest one was worth 500,000 points, losing it would mean at least 5 billion won disappearing, so I was too afraid to carry it around.
Inside the Black Gate, I always maintained a certain level of vigilance, but if I were to lose this wallet carelessly in the modern world without that tension, I couldn’t imagine how I’d survive.
How painfully hard it had been to obtain this pouch.
Of course, the battle with Talgrin hadn’t been particularly difficult or grueling, but the point was—where else would I go to hunt Dwarves and claim spoils like this again?
In any case, I realized that Hunters with a conscience like myself truly lived a hard life.
And that’s when the idea struck me.
‘Buying a car might actually be nice.’
It was inconvenient anyway, and since I had the money, wasn’t it worth purchasing one?
How much money did other young professionals fresh out of school have? Most people finance cars, which becomes problematic, but compared to those typical young professionals—or even older office workers—I had an overwhelmingly substantial balance.
There was no burden whatsoever.
That said, I had no intention of indulging in luxury and buying something flashy.
‘My first car should definitely be used.’
Considering Analysis’s navigation system and my Hunter-level body control, accidents were unlikely, but even so, a used car made sense for someone at my stage in life.
I hadn’t even told my parents I was a Hunter—imagine if they saw me driving something like a Ferrari.
‘They might think I’m involved in illegal dumping.’
Unlikely as that was, with such thoughts in mind, I decided a used car was definitely the way to go and searched for one on my phone.
I didn’t do extensive research—just searched for Used Car Dealerships in the Nearby Area, found a decent place, smiled to myself, unpacked my things, and began examining the available inventory.
‘Huh? A Sonata with only 20,000 kilometers for ten million won? That’s a steal. I should go there.’
