Episode 91
Eliminated two mages with a surprise attack.
Even though I easily took down the one-armed bastard who seemed to be the commander.
The remaining enemies resisted to the very end.
“Squad leader deceased.”
“Command authority passes to Deputy Squad Leader Oh Qing.”
“Suppression possibility slim. Changing objective to elimination.”
A monotonous voice like machine sounds.
A cold appearance as if their own will had been castrated.
The guy with the severed arm was at least more human.
[Death Space]
Retrieved Zaugg and Draco as well.
Summoned them before me again.
【Risk your lives to protect our Lord.】
【Didn’t you just say that earlier?】
【I’m emphasizing it.】
I gained the upper hand when I cut down two mages and two warriors.
A formation attacking from both sides.
If I hold out, I win.
Right.
As long as I don’t die, that is.
【While we hold them off, hide yourself again!】
【With Master’s skills, you cannot hide.】
Thank you so much for the fact check.
The Chinese Hunters’ killing intent grew even thicker.
Even without Heavenly Martial Body.
I could clearly feel their will to kill me.
Clang! Clang!
After that, a desperate fight to take each other’s lives continued.
“Grrrrrr!”
[Flame Breath]
Draco took a deep breath and spat out crimson flames.
A nearby Chinese Hunter deployed a defensive skill but was quickly swallowed by the flames.
[Skull Crash]
[Critical Attack]
Draco’s chest, which had been breathing fire, was crushed with a crack.
While one burned in the fire.
Two Chinese Hunters had penetrated from a blind spot to achieve this result.
Since the head wasn’t hit, complete destruction was avoided.
But damage was taken that made further combat participation difficult.
Crack!
The Armed Zombie Warriors also fell one by one.
Enhanced abilities and Heavenly Martial Body sharing.
The hardware to demonstrate high physical capabilities was in place.
However.
[Mana Emission]
Mana application that allows surpassing one’s original abilities.
[Raging Slash]
[Pierce Attack]
The Chinese Hunters were one step ahead in the software called various skills.
Sir Isra clearly recognized this fact.
【Cannot let them reach our Lord.】
[Armed Zombie Enhanced has been destroyed.]
[Skeleton Mage has been destroyed.]
…
When one was destroyed.
“Gurgle.”
A Chinese Hunter also collapsed, coughing up blood.
I can’t just sit here twiddling my thumbs either.
“Fireball.”
I can’t hit warrior-type Hunters.
Since the half-ruined village is the battlefield, it’s difficult even with Heavenly Martial Body and Master of Magic bonuses.
Instead.
I threw it at a stationary target.
[Holy Barrier]
[Divine Shield]
Boom!
The white defensive barrier shook precariously as if it would break at any moment.
Two supporters deployed their skills with full power.
They blocked the Fireball.
“Can’t afford to look elsewhere, can you?”
It would be quite troublesome if you guys assist the Chinese Hunters.
If you’re not watching me, it’s going to get hot.
As the battle continued.
Both sides’ forces were steadily consumed.
All Armed Zombie Enhanced were destroyed.
When one more Draco became unable to fight.
“Ugh.”
I brought down the last warrior-type Hunter.
“Whew.”
I wiped the sweat beaded on my forehead with my sleeve.
If they had rushed at me like mad dogs to kill me from the start.
I might have really died.
It was only because I quickly eliminated two mages and the leader-type Hunter when their goal was capture.
If I hadn’t done that, it might not have been these guys who died.
My neck feels chilly.
【I’ll handle those two. Master?】
【You’re trying to deal with only the weak supporters, you thief.】
【Eek!】
“Don’t kill them.”
I have a lot to ask.
Crunch—
But then there was a sound of something being bitten.
“Grrrrrrgle.”
“Gurgle.”
Both collapsed while foaming at the mouth.
What.
What is this?
Did they eat poison pills like in novels or something?
【Both have passed away.】
Heh heh.
Heh.
“Fuck.”
They came charging to kill me, and now they just die on their own terms?
My expression twisted with this shitty feeling.
“Boss!”
“Are you okay?”
The Support Team came running over in a hurry.
“Please handle the cleanup.”
Clang―
I carelessly threw down the Bone Sword.
I collapsed right there and gasped for breath.
* * *
[10 Rare Items]
[14 Magic Items]
These were the items obtained after collecting the Chinese Hunters’ corpses.
“How much is all this worth?”
“They all used Rare Items, boss.”
“No wonder they were strong.”
These were guys who used some method to enter a C-rank Gate despite being B-rank Hunters.
It would have been strange if their equipment was poor.
“I’ll organize the list and send it up.”
“Please do that.”
I was too exhausted to check everything one by one right now.
Both my body and mind.
After roughly finishing the cleanup, the moment I stepped outside the Gate.
“Hunter Park!!!”
A sound that could have been either a scream or a cheer struck my eardrums.
President Baek was raising his voice to welcome me.
Beside him, dozens of Hunters wearing armor with the Rift Management Agency logo were lined up.
What’s all this about?
“Um, President. Please explain this to me.”
“This is all my fault!!”
The President came running over almost in tears and examined my body from head to toe.
No.
Fault or whatever, please tell me what this situation is about.
“We came after receiving CEO Baek’s report.”
“You are…”
“Hello, Hunter Park Min-ho.”
“Aren’t you Hunter Jeon Hye-yeon?”
“It’s an honor. To think the Guui-dong Necromancer knows my name.”
Response Department 1st Division Chief.
What business brought this person, who’s mentioned as the next S-rank alongside Jung Shin-ho, here?
“We suddenly received a report that the entry capacity was filled to maximum.”
Ah.
So the President caught that too.
It seems they couldn’t enter because all entry slots were filled and had to wait outside.
The bloody battle that took place inside the Gate.
I also briefly summarized what the guy with the severed arm had said.
But why is your expression getting more distorted the more I explain?
“You said Tourang?”
“Yes.”
“Those Superhuman Bureau bastards!”
What am I supposed to do when the President suddenly goes into overdrive?
I was more surprised to see President Baek, who usually pressured opponents with composure, openly growling.
“Are there any survivors?”
“No. I left two alive, but they bit something and died foaming at the mouth.”
“That’s Tourang’s method.”
Director Jeon Hye-yeon bit her lip slightly.
“But what is this Tourang thing?”
“They’re hunting dogs raised by the Superhuman Bureau.”
Only the organization’s name is known.
How many total members there are.
How the organization is structured.
It’s a group where nothing is properly known, she said.
“Hunter Park. I’m truly relieved you’re safe.”
“It’s thanks to your concern.”
“I’m truly relieved. If something had happened to you… no, it’s horrible to even think about.”
The President’s hand gripping mine tightened with force.
Even though it’s a business relationship.
It felt strange to have someone worry about my safety this much.
“Hunter Park Min-ho. Would it be alright to convert this incident into a Ranger mission?”
What does that mean?
“Oh. That’s a good idea.”
Baek Raemon! Please explain!
“They want to file a report saying you collided with Tourang during a Ranger mission.”
Wow.
Does this become a government versus government fight?
What a thrilling matchup!
Me, a guy under the protection of the Korean government, how impressive!
President Baek shook his head.
“The Chinese government will deny Tourang.”
Tch.
“Don’t worry. Even so, if we officially protest to the Chinese government, they won’t be able to move for a while.”
Well, that’s good enough.
Once was enough for the chilling experience at the back of my neck.
“Hunter Park. May we investigate the scene?”
“By all means.”
Anyone can enter a Gate that’s been cleared.
This means Director Jeon Hye-yeon, an A-rank Hunter, can also enter.
She said she wants to look for evidence at the scene that could catch the Chinese government.
“Leave the scene cleanup to me and rest today.”
“Yes. I’ll leave it to you.”
“I’ll get you a taxi.”
Ugh.
Take a taxi from Pyeongtaek to my house?
Wouldn’t that cost about 300,000 won?
“Money is earned to be spent on things like this.”
Ah.
I do make a lot of money.
“Please take care of the cleanup.”
“You guys help me out.”
The Support Team was stuck there.
Ignoring their dejected faces, I sat in the taxi and fatigue hit me belatedly.
Hah.
How exhausting.
I should just rest well today.
* * *
Jeon Hye-yeon, who entered the Gate, investigated the crime scene.
“Director. There are traces of battle here.”
“Hmm. This explosion scale isn’t ordinary.”
She wasn’t referring to where the Fireball had landed.
The traces of magic enhanced by Eclipse.
Magic had clear limits to destructive power increases no matter how much stats rose.
The warrior skill [Power Strike] increases destructive power proportional to strength stats.
When used by an A-rank Hunter, it’s several times stronger than an E-rank Hunter’s.
Magic isn’t like that.
Understanding is more important than mana stats.
If understanding is the same.
The power difference between an E-rank Hunter’s and A-rank Hunter’s magic isn’t that great.
“This kind of range is at least a C-grade skill. No, around B-rank, right?”
“It could have been used by a Hunter from Tourang’s side.”
“Look at the angle. The angle.”
Based on the explosion traces, there was over a 90% chance it was magic used by Min-ho’s minion.
That wasn’t all.
Faint traces of mana remaining in the air.
Some static electricity remained from when Ingrid had spread Lightning.
Since quite some time had passed after the magic was used.
There was no tingling effect on the body.
Even so.
Someone of Jeon Hye-yeon’s skill level could detect traces of magic.
The footprints left on the ground weren’t ordinary either.
‘Traces of Mana Emission.’
A technique that increases propulsion and sword strike power by emitting mana from the soles of feet.
This wasn’t some low-level undead.
Just looking at the technical precision, wasn’t it equal to or above her own level?
‘It’s not that Tourang was weak.’
With this level of power, they could have tried subduing even an A-rank Hunter.
Unless they had skills like hers, approaching S-rank.
Jeon Hye-yeon thoroughly ruled out the possibility that Tourang had shown mercy.
Jeon Hye-yeon had directly experienced how vicious the hunting dogs raised by the Supernatural Affairs Bureau could be.
‘This is really from a Hunter who just rose to C-rank?’
Even during the Guui-dong Gate Break, it wasn’t to this extent.
In just about a month’s time.
There probably wasn’t a case of growth to this extent anywhere in the world.
‘Did Director Jung Seung-il foresee this far?’
A talent guaranteed by none other than South Korea’s only SS-rank Hunter.
Why he had said such things.
Looking at the battlefield, she understood.
“Heh.”
Her heart was boiling with excitement.
If he grew a little more, it seemed like they could have a good match.
If lucky, she might even catch a thread of enlightenment that could elevate her to S-rank!
‘I must prevent outstanding Hunters from being leaked!’
Jeon Hye-yeon’s heart pounded with competitive spirit and sense of duty.
