My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 105
Episode 105. Unreported Gate (2)
Regular gates don’t close even after time passes.
That’s why the idea of building structures inside gates has been consistently proposed since the great upheaval in the year 00.
‘But it never became mainstream.’
While it has the advantage of not being constrained by limited land.
There are far more risk factors than that.
‘Even if I think about it right now, one comes to mind.’
Gates that remain unexplored territories even after considerable time has passed.
This place where the danger of monsters appearing anytime, anywhere lurks, even those weak slimes possess the ability to corrode buildings.
It’s a place where you can’t move around comfortably, meaning it doesn’t even meet the minimum conditions for a residential area.
So currently, there are only two main cases where buildings are constructed inside gates.
‘One is prisons.’
The villains I’ve been diligently catching over the past month.
They all possess systems without exception.
Therefore, they aren’t imprisoned in regular prisons.
They’re imprisoned in special prisons inside gates.
Well, looking at recent news, there’s talk of moving all regular prisons inside gates too.
Anyway, the next case is exactly like the current situation.
‘When they create bases in gates they own.’
This is usually only attempted by top-tier guilds.
Without that level of authority and skill, it’s impossible to own a gate.
Of course, these people illegally occupied an unreported gate.
In any case.
“Wow, this is also quite an ability. Right?”
“That’s right, I always feel this way, but it’s really amazing.”
“I agree as well.”
“…Is this really the time to be impressed?”
I couldn’t help but admire as I knocked on the solid wall with the back of my hand.
A 4-story building showing its presence in a forest where all the trees had fallen.
Even in an awakened society, building such a structure inside a gate is quite an ability.
Though I don’t need to respect that.
[Black Dragon]
Crrrack.
Sharp claws cut across the solid wall.
Having punched a hole in the wall with a single gesture, I walked through to the other side.
“He said it was underground.”
That man definitely said Cheon Yu-na was imprisoned in the building’s basement.
If that’s true, it also means I don’t need to bother wandering around.
“There’s no one down below.”
I can feel there’s space beneath my feet, but I don’t sense any human presence.
Lifting the corners of my mouth, I unhesitatingly struck the floor with my fist.
The floor cracked and split apart.
Soon we fell down and landed in a dark corridor.
Perhaps because electricity wasn’t connected, not a single point of light comes in.
The only light entering this place is what comes through the broken ceiling.
Because of this, it seems Jeong Chan-woo, Im Seung-hun, and even Seong Yu-mi can’t see properly ahead.
“…”
But with the Black Dragon’s eyes that can see silhouettes even in darkness, I could see.
To the right of this corridor where we’re standing now.
The fact that empty prison cells are lined up in a row.
Seong Yu-mi, who used magic to brighten her vision half a beat later, also pressed her lips tightly together upon seeing the prison cells lined up in a row.
“…Hunter Han Mi-reo.”
“What?”
“What exactly were you doing to get involved with such big shots?”
“…Do you think I wanted to get involved?”
What am I supposed to do when they picked a fight with me first?
They tried to kill me first, you know?
I tried to argue back with full indignation, but Jeong Chan-woo just leisurely turned his head as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“It was good that we didn’t come through the main entrance.”
We deliberately didn’t use the main entrance but made a hole and entered from behind.
There’s no particular reason, but seeing how they attacked us when we entered the gate, they’d definitely attack at the main entrance too.
So we just made a hole in the back of the building and entered, and it was clearly an excellent choice.
“Let’s find her quickly.”
If those guys find out we made a hole and entered from behind, they might move Cheon Yu-na somewhere else.
Maybe they’re already moving her.
So we had to find Cheon Yu-na before they noticed.
Turning around, I began running quickly through the dark corridor.
I had already spread my mana widely.
* * *
“Ugh…”
Cheon Yu-na, who opened her eyes with difficulty, looked around.
It’s dark.
The surroundings are so dark that for a moment she thought she might have gone blind.
‘It hurts…’
There’s no part of her body that doesn’t hurt.
Her right arm keeps throbbing as if it’s broken, and her back feels the hot pain as if cut by a sharp blade.
Yet the reason she’s holding onto consciousness without fainting is probably due to her experience of dying countless times in the Tutorial Tower.
Cheon Yu-na struggled to get up and tried to walk forward, but the shackles on her legs wouldn’t allow it.
She gripped the shackles binding her feet tightly with her left hand and muttered.
“…Am I really not supposed to try to do anything?”
Ever since childhood, whenever she tried to do something, the path ahead was always blocked.
When she found joy in piano performance, being compared to her eldest brother turned that joy into pain.
Even when she studied hard to become someone worthy of the group, her efforts only looked like cute antics to other family members.
No matter how endlessly she ran down the dark path, her efforts never saw the light.
Even when she ran toward the light, only darkness was always visible ahead of her.
“Haha. I’m really stupid too.”
She thought this time would be different.
It was a path no one else had taken, and the Black Dragon, the darkest yet brightest light, seemed to illuminate the path ahead of her.
But what is this?
In the end, she’s fallen back into darkness again.
“I really wasn’t supposed to try to do anything…”
She muttered quietly and soon let out a small laugh.
Even though this wasn’t a situation to laugh, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Why is that?
After thinking about it, she very easily came up with an answer.
“I have no regrets.”
In a situation where she might die, it would be normal to have at least some regret.
But she felt not the slightest regret about creating the guild.
Even if she went back to the past, she would make the same choice.
They’ll be equally fascinated by the hunter industry and equally create a guild.
So there are no regrets.
Not for recruiting Han Mi-reo, nor for agreeing despite being told it might be dangerous.
Not for anything that will happen in the future either.
She has no regrets—
“You should regret at least that much, shouldn’t you?”
“…Huh?”
Bang!
A tremendous roar accompanied by rushing wind.
Cheon Yu-na stared ahead with a dazed expression.
The owner of that familiar voice was looking at her with an indifferent expression.
“Black Dragon-nim…?”
“I came to rescue you. Sorry you got caught up in this because of me.”
“…Black Dragon-nim!”
As the thread of tension snapped, tears poured down like a waterfall.
Cheon Yu-na watched Han Mi-reo taking out a potion from his pocket through her blurred vision and thought.
‘Ah.’
Even without regrets, she apparently didn’t want to die.
* * *
After tearing off the shackles binding Cheon Yu-na, I made her drink a potion.
“I’m, I’m full….”
“Drink more.”
This was already the fourth bottle.
After forcibly making Cheon Yu-na drink the potion, I examined her body.
“Nothing hurts, right?”
“If something still hurt after drinking this much potion, wouldn’t that be a problem in its own way?”
“Be quiet.”
There’s always the option of making you drink one more.
Only then did Cheon Yu-na clamp her mouth shut at my added comment.
I thoroughly examined Cheon Yu-na’s now-quiet body and nodded.
“You’re fine.”
The broken bones had mended too.
The cuts on her back had healed as well.
Now if she just receives proper treatment outside the gate, even the scars will disappear completely.
“Can you move?”
“Yes, that much is possible.”
Cheon Yu-na stood on both feet as if to show off and raised both arms.
With all her broken bones mended, she was standing perfectly fine on both legs.
“You’re really okay?”
“Black Dragon-nim, which do you think would be more terrible—actually dying in the Tutorial Tower or what happened now?”
Hmm.
She’s fine then.
Well, after dying a few times in the Tutorial Tower, this level of pain probably doesn’t feel like much.
‘…Or not?’
Are Yu-na and I just weird?
I clicked my tongue softly and spread mist to envelop Cheon Yu-na’s surroundings.
“Stay inside that.”
“Yes.”
After protecting Cheon Yu-na with mist, I clenched my right hand tightly.
‘I found Cheon Yu-na.’
Judging it inefficient to wander the vast underground together, we had split up to search for Cheon Yu-na.
And we agreed to do one thing when we found Cheon Yu-na.
That was.
‘Destroy this building.’
Scales sprouted on my right hand as I raised the corners of my mouth.
Not stopping there, they spread to my forearm too.
And to my arm as well.
Scales sprouted everywhere.
[Thousand Transformations]
Black mist enveloping my transformed right arm.
My right arm, which had simply sprouted scales, instantly transformed to look like a vicious monster’s limb.
I wrapped even more mist around my transformed right arm.
[Mist Rend -]
Mist flickering like black flames.
Neither hot nor cold.
Only violence blazed like fire on my right arm.
I swung my fist wrapped in misty flames toward the sky.
At that moment.
“…Wow.”
The dark sky split apart.
And bright sky illuminated this place.
Bright light clearly visible even within the mist.
Even the clouds split in half, no longer blocking the sun.
Cheon Yu-na, who had been staring blankly up at the sky, suddenly lowered her head to look ahead.
There stood the man who had blown away the darkness with a single punch, brushing off his right hand.
“Did I break it by using too much force?”
Even the debris falling from the sky avoided him as it fell.
Even the bright light from the sky seemed endlessly insufficient.
Watching that scene in a daze, Cheon Yu-na unconsciously muttered.
“My light….”
“Hm? What did you say?”
“Starting today, I’m withdrawing my support for Black Dragon-nim.”
“Huh?”
“From today, I’ve moved beyond a support relationship to become one body with Black Dragon-nim. Any attack on Black Dragon-nim will be considered an attack on me.”
“…Did the mist get a hole in it? You didn’t get hit in the head by debris, did you?”
“Ah, my light, my darkness….”
I stepped back from Cheon Yu-na, who was muttering with slurred pronunciation.
What the hell.
The person broke.
I guess my impression that she seemed fine was mistaken after all.
I’d like to call Jini to at least examine her mental state.
“I’ll have to do that later.”
I clenched my fist and quietly turned around.
Behind me stood a familiar-faced person glaring at me with a face red with rage.
“Nice to see you. We meet again?”
“You…!”
“So why did you pull this kind of stunt? If you hadn’t, we could have just let it slide amicably.”
I don’t need to know and don’t want to know how much effort went into building this.
If only you hadn’t pulled this foolish stunt.
Everyone could have ended things happily.
It wouldn’t have come to this.
“I told you. Get out of the well.”
Why didn’t you listen to what I said?
Ah, did you not hear because you were unconscious?
Anyway, it was them, not me, who stirred up trouble.
“That aside, you’re wearing the title of Hunter and doing quite enjoyable things, aren’t you?”
Crackle crackle.
Sparks begin to fly around the man.
But I didn’t even give the man a glance as I looked around the collapsed building.
“There was a prison here. What the hell were you doing in this place?”
“Shut up!”
Crack!
With a sound like lightning striking, the man’s figure disappears.
At least he had some learning ability – this time instead of charging straight at me, he was circling around at high speed.
“What did we do? You’re already expecting it!”
“⋯⋯.”
“You know what? Inside gates, no one looks for people who die or disappear.”
Footsteps brushed past right next to me.
After that, from behind, from the front, from all directions, I constantly heard footsteps along with his voice.
In the midst of it all, I didn’t move a single step and only stared straight ahead.
“Inside gates, it’s natural for people to die! So even if someone disappears inside, no one tries to find them!”
“….”
“A space where even corpses leave no evidence if you feed them to monsters. Quite the optimal location, wouldn’t you say?”
Tap.
From behind me, a mocking voice mixed with laughter could be heard.
Even so, I didn’t respond at all.
I just kept looking straight ahead.
“As hunters, we entered gates and played with weak vermin before kidnapping them. Then we sold them.”
“⋯⋯Sold them?”
“That’s right! To an unknown organization that regularly bought them in large quantities-.”
Thud.
I reached out and firmly grabbed the face of the man who was kicking off the ground to leap.
I stared directly into the man’s eyes visible between my fingers and spoke as if grinding my teeth.
“You’d better explain what you just said properly.”
Without leaving out a single word, in great detail.
