Chapter 64
#Episode 64
An awkward silence filled the car as it began its journey into the fog in earnest.
This was because Kim Yeo-ul was sitting on my left, and Rey was attached to my right.
“Jinu, this is what happens when a person is indecisive.”
“Please just shut up.”
‘What are you talking about? More importantly, what did you mean earlier about traces of a Monarch?’
‘Don’t make strange excuses and answer me quickly.’
Perhaps watching Rey, after a moment, Senior slowly opened his mouth.
‘Eh?? Traces?’
A claim…
So even among Monarchs, they do such things.
How fascinating.
‘Monarchs must have many concerns too.’
‘More common than expected… Then can you also tell who left the traces?’
‘Oh, who is it?’
At my question, Senior’s words suddenly cut off.
There was no way Senior couldn’t see this, so he was definitely hesitating to answer for some other reason.
‘What is it that you can’t tell me? Don’t tell me it’s a Monarch stronger than you, Senior?’
‘What’s your intention in not telling me when you could tell me directly?’
‘Ah, how petty.’
‘Ugh, then they just left traces and abandoned her?’
Do they really think humans are some kind of toys?
Grumbling, I cut the connection with Senior and turned my attention back to reality.
The car was gradually approaching the boundary of the fog.
Kang Cheol-u glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
I quietly nodded.
Kang Cheol-u pressed hard on the accelerator.
The clear scenery disappeared instantly, and a completely hazy view filled all the windows.
I deployed my death force as widely as I could manage.
The endlessly extending death force began flowing through a vast area.
Truly befitting an S-rank Hunter, Rey felt my power and blinked in startled surprise.
He felt an overwhelming power that couldn’t even be compared to his own, and a territory so massive it seemed to mock human limitations, unreachably enormous.
“What? Uh…? Uhuh?? Is, is this possible…?”
The other colleagues also chuckled as if they understood his feelings upon seeing Rey’s reaction.
“Nothing to be surprised about, he’s just an out-of-spec monster.”
“Calling a perfectly normal person a monster.”
“Then, are you human?”
“Yes, of course.”
My colleagues who knew my true identity laughed as if it was absurd.
Only Rey was flustered, staring at me intently.
“Is it really okay to call someone like you just an S-rank Hunter…?”
“It’s just a ranking system created by humans anyway, so I don’t really care what you call me.”
“Wow…”
At his gaze as if looking at someone amazing, I didn’t bother to respond and looked out the window.
Raw praise is still embarrassing after all.
Kim Yeo-ul looked at Rey, then quietly rested her head on my shoulder.
I could feel her complicated emotions – she didn’t like it, but since Rey was a Hunter who came along risking his life to protect the country, she didn’t want to be hostile either.
‘It’s not like she’s some adolescent girl.’
The car raced through the fog like that.
Kang Cheol-u spoke to me as if finding it curious.
“Strangely, there seem to be fewer monsters than expected.”
“Hmm… I wonder.”
That’s a lie.
Right now, thousands of monsters in the vicinity are glaring at the car with fierce killing intent.
They just don’t dare approach because I’m openly spreading my death force from inside.
Baek Do-hyeon, being a magic-type Hunter, seemed to sense this and chuckled while crossing her legs.
“Well, I’m happy to travel comfortably.”
“Why, if you’re itching for action, want to go out and fight?”
“Crudely using large-scale magic isn’t my style~”
It was the best combat method possible in a place where proper visibility couldn’t be secured, but she didn’t seem very interested and began dozing off while leaning her head back.
Jinu looked at Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and chuckled, then lay down using Baek Do-hyeon’s legs as a pillow.
Meanwhile, Seo Iram was nodding off, then simply sat on my lap and began sleeping while leaning against my chest.
Since Seo Iram had treated the most people at the base camp before coming here, I quietly patted her back.
Rey looked at us with an indescribably confused expression at this situation that was far too relaxed for people going to hunt an S-rank monster.
“Is this normally the kind of atmosphere…?”
“No, originally we were tense and all that too.”
“Ah…”
“But after doing the same thing five times, we got used to it.”
The confusion turning into respect and awe was instantaneous.
Rey, whose gaze had changed to that of looking at a veteran, nodded.
“Certainly, experience builds up and creates composure!”
“Though we’re not this relaxed even in actual combat.”
In fights against S-rank demons, everyone becomes sensitive because even a single shift in the flowing current can reverse life and death.
Especially if it’s conducted in a Makyeong where demons reside, even more so.
Since it requires tremendous mental strength, they prefer this relaxed atmosphere normally.
“Of course, I think it’s good to maintain a certain level of tension.”
“Eh… is that so?”
“Yes, since you never know what might happen in a Makyeong… Yes, like this.”
As soon as my words ended, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, who had been snoring away, opened his eyes sharply.
The other colleagues except Seo Iram also opened their eyes sharply and clicked their tongues as if asking when that had happened.
“Damn… I thought we could take it easy for once.”
“Good reaction, I was about to say something if you kept sprawling and sleeping.”
“Would you be able to sleep peacefully in a place like this?”
The movement of at least 3,000 demons could be felt ahead of the car.
They were marching with proper armor and weapons, maintaining formation.
What could be read from the flickering souls of the demons was fighting spirit and killing intent.
Naturally, that direction was aimed at the unauthorized intruders.
“They’re well-equipped with weapons and maintaining formation too.”
At those words, the aura of the preparing colleagues became even sharper.
Usually in such cases, there are either demon followers supporting them, or high-ranking entities with intelligence exist.
“Ah shit, this is really annoying…”
I laid the exhausted Seo Iram in the car and came outside with my colleagues.
Indeed, a Makyeong was a Makyeong – despite such a number of demons gathering, only hazy fog appeared to spread across the field of vision.
Rey also seemed to vaguely sense the number of enemies, as strength entered the hand gripping the sword.
“Can everyone see properly? Especially Jinu and Yeo-ul?”
“I can sense them, but they’re not clear enough to see with my eyes.”
“Me too, it’s a hazy feeling.”
“I see.”
So that’s how it appears to those who cannot sense souls.
At least Hunter Kang Cheol-u and Hunter Baek Do-hyeon were constantly manifesting mana around them, having grasped the situation like the veterans they were.
For the sake of my colleagues, I needed to dispel the fog to some extent, so I first gathered my death force.
When I spread the gently gathered death force, a massive wave was created.
As I pushed the wave with no physical force forward, it swept past all the demons present in front.
Then, black skulls appeared above the heads of those hiding in the fog.
Their previously hazy presence gradually revealed itself, becoming substantial enough to be confirmed with the naked eye.
“How is it, can you see better now?”
“At this level, I can see clearly!”
“Oh, it’s almost visible to the naked eye?”
Of course, this is just a hastily devised method.
If enemies come in a much wider range than this, I’ll have to think of another method.
“There’s no need for me to step forward, right?”
My colleagues stared intently at the enemies and slowly nodded.
About three A-rank demons that appeared to be leaders were visible, but other than that, there were no particularly lethal enemies.
“With this much help, it’s practically free.”
“What was it… Rey? You’re going to fight together too, right?”
Rey, who had been staring blankly at the rapidly flowing situation, belatedly came to her senses and nodded enthusiastically.
“Yes! Though I’m lacking… please take care of me!”
“Oh my, so fresh and green.”
Kang Cheol-u stood in front of the slowly approaching enemies.
I cast Ghost Necromancy as a final touch and quietly patted Jinu’s shoulder.
The power Jinu wielded was pure darkness itself.
In terms of handling darkness, he had similarities with me.
“Jinu, try to utilize darkness as much as possible rather than simple physical force.”
“Yes, understood.”
It was reassuring how he nodded without asking for reasons and just accepted it.
I stepped back, spread my death force, laid my body on it, and slowly watched the fight.
Just two S-rank Hunters alone represent a nation’s military strength.
But five such Hunters had gathered.
There was no way demons of that level could possibly stop them.
“Hmm…”
First, I carefully observed Rey, who was said to have traces of a Monarch.
Her detailed information began to display in my Soul’s Eye.
Severance – cutting off the flow of mana.
Perception Eye – able to see the flow of mana.
Finally, even the Musangdan-style swordsmanship that bore traces of her unique sword techniques.
There were a few other miscellaneous skills besides these, but these three were all the representative skills she mainly used.
Even in actual combat, her sword techniques were manifesting in real-time.
Musangdan-style swordsmanship was a sword technique that emphasized neither the swift speed of “fast” nor the finesse of “soft,” but rather the heavy strikes of “severance” and iaijutsu.
Even now, her attacks wielding the sword with imperial momentum felt refreshingly cool, even bordering on chilling.
What was even more frightening was that she was preemptively blocking the enemies’ schemes by cutting off the flow of mana that even I could only faintly perceive.
Her skills were quite exceptional, enough to make even Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s eyebrows twitch from time to time.
Though it wasn’t overwhelming offensive power like Jinu or Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, just Rey’s participation had made the battle formation much richer.
Yeo-ul’s attacks gained breathing room, and the overall flow began to proceed as smoothly as if lubricated with oil.
‘With skills at that level, she’s certainly worth coveting.’
I slowly nodded my head and checked the remaining information.
After passing through basic information like physical stats, the information I had been wanting finally appeared.
