Chapter 90
#Episode 90
“What an absolutely ridiculous talent…”
“It looks that way to me too.”
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, who had instantly completed contracts with four high-ranking spirits, was surrounded by the spirits with a happy smile on her face.
Unlike her usual tomboyish personality, she now exuded the atmosphere of a pure young lady.
I held the spirit essences that Hunter Baek Do-hyeon had given me in my hands.
Each one contained a distinct elemental energy.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon was already powerful now, but I couldn’t even easily predict what would happen if I gave her these.
“Hunter Baek Do-hyeon?”
“Huh? Oh, should I do it right away?”
“It might take a long time, so it’s better to do it quickly if possible.”
Thinking back to Yeo-ul’s time, it took quite a while for her to digest the power, so this time might be the same.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon obediently approached as I said and stood in front of me.
“What do I need to do?”
“Just stay still.”
‘I didn’t know I could gather all this so simply.’
As soon as I held all the materials in my hands, a System Message appeared.
“I’ll use it.”
With my response, the spirit essences in my hands were absorbed into her.
The water essence went to her head, the fire essence to her heart, the wind essence to her feet, and the earth essence to her hands.
The essences, each symbolizing something different, were quickly absorbed and soon completely adapted to Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s body.
The magnificent powers of the four elements swirled magnificently, then danced beautifully.
The group dance of the warming energies blessed Hunter Baek Do-hyeon as if welcoming their new master.
After a while.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, who had completely absorbed all that power, slowly opened her eyes.
As she touched her heart and opened her drowsy eyes, I could feel a power of a completely different caliber than before.
“How should I put it… I feel like something I never had has been filled…”
Spirits began gathering around Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, who wore a benevolent smile.
Even the proud wind spirit burrowed into her embrace, apparently liking her warmed touch even more.
The power that Hunter Baek Do-hyeon now possessed was something I couldn’t easily measure either.
The moment she, who had simply been a Grand Mage, was reborn as a spirit master, spirits became the massive variable responsible for her axis.
“You look happier than when we had the victory party before?”
“Why, are you jealous?”
“Yes, my little Baek Do-hyeon…”
“What are you saying.”
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon lightly tapped the bridge of my nose.
Since I hadn’t meant it seriously either, I turned my gaze back to Tin.
“So, what is it that you want?”
Since our conversation wasn’t finished yet, Tin also answered as if she had been waiting.
“I understand that the land in North Korea is severely damaged.”
“Yes… that’s right. That area didn’t have good infrastructure to begin with.”
Currently, North Korea has no other facilities except for the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Even that railway could only be built thanks to cooperation between Russia and China.
Other than that, even South Korea isn’t properly organized at the moment.
Tin nodded knowingly and answered.
“Please let me and the spirits use that land.”
It was a somewhat shocking statement, but since it was abandoned land anyway, I calmly asked back.
“All of North Korea?”
“Yes, of course I want to remain under Hunter Cha Hyeon-su’s protection.”
“And then?”
“My current goal is to create a great forest where spirits can play freely.”
Tin glanced at the garden.
She spoke as if creating something like this would be nothing with the spirits who govern the natural world.
“Since it’s a place managed by me and the spirits, we can deal with any demons that might appear, and we can protect the railway too. Most importantly, we can provide various resources that grow in nature.”
Blocking demons, protecting the railway, and even providing resources.
The conditions were so overwhelmingly favorable that it was almost embarrassing on our end, to the point where I wondered if she wasn’t being too generous.
“…These conditions seem too advantageous for me one-sidedly?”
“I don’t know if I were participating in the Throne War, but… that’s not the case. I simply want to build a paradise where me and the children can rest comfortably.”
There’s no wavering in Tin’s soul.
Rather, I can even glimpse desperation.
I could even feel a bit of self-pity from someone who felt disillusioned with the harsh world and wanted to live alone.
Naturally, there was no reason for me to refuse such conditions.
“If those are the conditions, we won’t lose anything either, so that’s fine.”
“Really!”
Tin’s eyes lit up as she grabbed my hands and shook them vigorously.
Just moments ago she had definitely shown the qualities of a king, but suddenly she had this childlike aspect again.
“Yes, I look forward to working with you from now on, neighbor.”
“I-I’m the one who should be saying that!”
Tin smiled brightly, so happy that tears even glistened in her eyes.
* * *
Before returning to South Korea, I stopped by the underground training grounds of the American Hunter Association.
I didn’t come here to train, but because Hunter Baek Do-hyeon had requested a sparring match.
Having gained new power, he seemed restless in various ways.
Even before the battle started, the spirits began frolicking in earnest, emanating brilliant energy.
Reynold and numerous American hunters and officials had gathered in the observation room to watch us.
They seemed curious about both Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s newly acquired power and my abilities.
Before the sparring match, I asked several times if the training ground would be okay, but Reynold gave a thumbs up.
Of course, it wasn’t a thumbs up meaning it could withstand it, but rather one meaning we could just rebuild it if it broke.
Because even I wasn’t confident I could hold back against the current Hunter Baek Do-hyeon.
“Let’s do this like always – you come at me first.”
“You’ll regret it, you know?”
“If it’s power enough to make me regret it, that would be a good thing.”
In an instant faster than the blink of an eye, the incantation was completed.
Flames twice as powerful and fast as usual began spinning rapidly, embracing the wind.
Hundreds of flame spears created with that single gesture began pouring down, all aimed solely at me.
Normally, I could have just taken such large-scale attacks with my body, but now it was different.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s elements, supported by two high-ranking spirits, were qualitatively different from before.
The power of the elements themselves had become twice as strong, so I could no longer ignore them.
Even I had to create spears with all my might to shoot down every incoming spear.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-boom-!
The spears that filled the air collided with each other and shattered.
From just one exchange, I could sense what level Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s power had reached.
“Seriously, spirits are so overpowered…”
“If you have complaints, try using them yourself!”
The ground burst open as blade-like stones erupted.
At the same time, ice blades flying from the sky aimed for my throat.
I immediately summoned Desperado and slashed through all the attacks.
The incoming attacks split apart and lost their power.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s attacks, already genius-level, with the spirits’ support added, were incredibly troublesome.
“Let’s really get serious now!”
The surging elements began displaying their power in even more diverse ways.
One wasn’t the end.
Elements following one after another came flying at me.
Each attack contained the mysteries of countless transformations, making them difficult to respond to easily.
The spirit awakening of an S-rank hunter.
I felt like the ultimate version was unfolding before me.
Of course, I had no intention of just standing there taking hits.
The attacks were excellent, so now it was time to test his defensive abilities.
The death force that had been quietly hiding its fangs began to unfold in earnest.
This was the first time I was using this level of power against a comrade, but the current Hunter Baek Do-hyeon was worthy enough.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon also seemed to realize I was getting serious from the dramatically changed atmosphere, as a gleam flashed in his eyes.
The materialized spirits began charging toward me.
Weren’t they afraid of me, wrapped in such death?
The spirits, startled by the Grim Reaper’s footsteps, searched for me as I disappeared.
I wasn’t soft enough to allow a step once missed to be taken again.
I toyed with the spirits mockingly and naturally advanced toward Hunter Baek Do-hyeon.
Usually, one Death Dance was enough to break through Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s attacks.
Just as I thought I had easily broken through this time too.
!?
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s eyes were looking at me.
Though his body couldn’t move, as if he had anticipated something, a smile was slowly forming on his lips.
At the same time, the ground beneath my feet exploded as a massive pillar of fire erupted.
Thanks to reading Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s expression in advance, I was able to dodge, but it sent chills down my spine.
“Wow, you dodged that? Are you really not a monster?!”
“You should have managed your expressions better.”
Though I spoke leisurely, there were many more things I now had to be aware of.
When facing an enemy like Hunter Baek Do-hyeon, the difficulty had doubled.
Of course, that didn’t mean I thought I would lose.
My body, having stomped the ground, was firmly anchored.
The moment the compressed death force beneath my feet boiled up to its limit and surged.
“Now-!”
I activated Death Dance with my body shot forward like a cannonball.
Splitting the instant and opening a gap, my time alone unfolded.
At the same time, as if deciding to rely entirely on prediction, pillars of fire began erupting in all directions around Hunter Baek Do-hyeon.
I dodged all the exploding fire pillars and moved behind her back.
From the rear, a wind spirit that had approached at some point was glaring at me, but a mere spirit alone couldn’t stop me.
I grabbed the wind spirit and hurled it away with all my strength.
Immediately, Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s back was clearly exposed.
But without letting my guard down until the very end, I stomped on the ground behind her with all my might.
Kwaaaaang-!
The ground exploded and the wind that emerged along with it sent Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s body flying.
She seemed to have anticipated this much, but I had read even that.
Unfortunately, there appeared to be no moves beyond this.
I immediately used all my strength to fix her in mid-air and raised my scythe.
After an instant passed and time resumed its normal flow, Desperado was positioned at Hunter Baek Do-hyeon’s neck.
Hunter Baek Do-hyeon belatedly recognized the situation and clicked her tongue.
“Wow… you monster-like bastard.”
“This time was truly excellent.”
I withdrew my power and descended to the ground.
The battle had ended in just about 5 minutes at most.
However, the people watching from the observation room were all gaping with their mouths wide open in bewilderment.
This was because they, who were composed of fairly high-grade hunters, had missed 80% of the battle.
They would need to apply slow motion to the recorded video just to barely see the movements.
“Is that really the same kind of person as us?”
“This is ridiculous…”
“I don’t know, I missed almost everything.”
“There was nothing we could see except the initial engagement…”
Reynold belatedly approached us with an awkward smile.
He handed us each a potion with the half-destroyed training room behind him.
“Thank you for your hard work, Hunters.”
I could see the desperate survival instincts of a working professional.
