My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 107

Episode 107. Unreported Gate (Complete)

Dozens of black roots sprouting from the ground.

The roots that shot up to pierce through me futilely pierced through empty air.

But since those were merely the body parts of monsters shaped like roots.

The roots that pierced the air bent smoothly and lunged at me as I leaped forward.

“Tsk.”

Thud.

As I was advancing forward, I clicked my tongue at the hundreds of roots rushing before my eyes and pulled my body back.

No sooner had I done so than hundreds of roots struck down where I had been running just moments before.

Having successfully avoided the roots, I kicked off the ground again and tried to charge toward the Ent, but.

“——!”

The Ents, widening their knot-hole-like eyes and mouths while emitting an unpleasant high-pitched sound, all simultaneously hurled leaves at me.

‘What leaves, they’re more like blades.’

I stomped my foot to spread mist and blocked all the magic-tainted leaves that flew right up to my nose.

Though they looked like purple leaves on the surface, the leaves made clanging sounds like steel colliding when they touched the mist.

“How annoying.”

Ents aren’t trees, but they’re representative monsters that can’t move like trees.

Even so, the reason Ents are B-rank monsters lies in how troublesome they are to deal with.

Multiple roots used like hands.

Leaves that can be shot like daggers.

Furthermore, I heard that some Ents can explode their fruits like bombs.

Though their bodies are infinitely fragile due to their tree-like nature, there’s still a reason why Ents are B-rank monsters.

‘But now that they’ve become variants, they’re even more annoying.’

Once again, I felt vibrations beneath my feet.

Hearing the faint sound of the ground cracking, I immediately rolled to the side.

The root that shot up piercing the sky bent again in mid-air and fired toward me.

No sooner had I avoided the striking root than the Ents shot leaves at me again.

‘Even when I try to get close, I can’t approach them, damn.’

No matter how much I possess the blessing of super-regeneration, the power they wield is magic.

Even if I can purify it myself, the speed isn’t fast, and even the rate at which wounds heal is significantly slow.

Moreover, I was still feeling the same pain as before when attacked by magic.

So I tried to avoid as much as possible, but.

“This is bothersome.”

Avoiding like this doesn’t seem to suit my temperament at all.

It’ll just be painful for a moment, so why drag out the time?

My contemplation was short and my decision was quick.

Pulling up the corners of my mouth, I bent my knees and leaned forward.

[Mist Technique – Mist Flight]

Whoosh!

With a sound of cutting through wind, my body shot forward at high speed.

Their roots rushed toward me again, but.

“Hup!”

I exploded mist once more in mid-air to increase my speed further.

Due to the increased speed, the roots futilely struck bare ground.

Though I couldn’t avoid some roots that touched my body.

“Huh, crazy.”

All those roots failed to pierce through my clothes and only made dull sounds.

“Right. The clothes I’m wearing now aren’t ordinary clothes.”

What I’m currently wearing was closer to armor shaped like clothing.

It might even be the sturdiest armor among all the armor in this world.

Since I didn’t feel any discomfort at all, I had been thinking I was just wearing ordinary clothes.

Letting out a hollow laugh, I experimentally raised my arm to block the leaves shooting from the front.

“Wow, it really doesn’t affect me at all?”

The blade-sharp magical leaves couldn’t inflict even a single scratch.

What the hell, then.

What was my big resolution all about?

It feels somewhat deflating.

Chuckling, I sharpened my nails and drew a diagonal line through the air.

[Mist Technique – Mist Blade]

A diagonal mist slash cutting through.

The Ents all gathered their roots in one place to block the slash.

However.

“What can you do if you block that?”

I had already hidden behind the mist blade and approached the Ents.

Roots split in half.

I threw a powerful punch toward the swollen knot-hole visible beyond them.

[Mist Technique – Rampage]

Boom!

With a tremendous roar, the trunk of the Ent at the front shattered to pieces.

Landing on the trunk, I threw another powerful punch.

“———!”

Just like smashing ordinary trees.

I began massacring the Ents quite leisurely.

The Ents desperately thrust roots at me and shot leaves, but none of their attacks could pierce my clothes.

“I should give Kargon another word of thanks for this.”

Crack.

After crushing the trunk of the last remaining Ent, I caught my breath lightly and turned my head.

Behind me lay the scattered remains of broken trees turning to powder and evaporating.

“So many variants.”

Macheongoe.

What purpose does this group, of which I only know the name, have for doing this?

Clenching my fist tightly, I walked step by step across the ground where magic was evaporating.

First, checking on Cheon Yu-na’s condition was the priority.

* * *

“You’re already done?”

“It was easy.”

“It wasn’t a number that should have been easy though….”

While heading toward the Gate.

I handed Cheon Yu-na over to Jeong Chan-woo and Im Seung-hun and met Seong Yu-mi who had been running toward us.

She muttered in apparent surprise at hearing that I had dealt with all the Ents.

Anyway, I had spread my mana until the end to confirm there were no remaining variants before coming back.

There was no longer any danger from magic in this Gate.

“So, what should we do from now on?”

“Well.”

The incident had become too big to just pass off as a dispute between guilds.

Who would have thought it was a group that kidnapped people and even engaged in human trafficking.

Thinking about it, it might have been difficult to just let it slide from the moment we discovered the unreported Gate.

However.

“I don’t want us to report this Gate.”

I didn’t want to report this Gate to the Association.

Seong Yu-mi didn’t ask me for the reason.

She must be thinking the same thing as me.

‘Because there’s no one at the Association right now who can handle demonic energy.’

The demonic energy hasn’t completely disappeared from within the Gate yet.

While no demonic energy is detected near the entrance, if you go deep inside, you’ll immediately encounter demonic energy.

The only one at the Association who could handle demonic energy would be Heo Hyeon-yun, but if it’s him, he definitely wouldn’t listen to our warnings even if we gave them.

‘Rather, reporting the Gate would be more dangerous.’

An ironic situation where it’s safe because it’s an unreported Gate.

Seong Yu-mi, who had been pondering with her hand on her chin for a moment, nodded and muttered.

“Alright, let’s hide this Gate and not report it for the time being.”

“Then what do we do about those things that barely seem human?”

“What do you mean what? Turn them into idiots, obviously.”

Seong Yu-mi raised her right hand as if there was nothing to think about.

“They’re trash who ruin people’s lives, so they should be grateful we’re not killing them. Don’t you think?”

“I won’t deny that.”

Those who live by ruining other people’s lives should keep in mind that their own lives can easily be ruined too.

“We’ll erase their memories and report them as members of the same dark guild as Yun Tae-ho.”

“…Dark guild? What’s that?”

“Ah. Black Dragon, you were a newbie to this industry, right? Dark guilds are, simply put, things that do similar stuff to these guys.”

Gates appeared in the world in the year 00.

Only 26 years have passed since then.

Humans are creatures with excellent adaptability, so they succeeded in restoring the destroyed world to its original state in just 26 years.

But unlike the seemingly normal exterior, the underside wasn’t in such a normal state.

“Dark guilds are one of those not-so-normal things.”

In fact, the Hunter system is a deformed system.

Register with the Awakened Association and you’re a Hunter.

Don’t register and you’re a Villain.

Because of this extreme binary classification, virtually all those who use power as Awakened should rightfully be called Hunters.

Therefore, those who work in construction as Awakened could also be called Hunters if you think about it.

And the construction companies they form together could also be called guilds.

However.

“That story applies to Villains too.”

No one always wants to rot away in the shadows.

Everyone wants to live proudly with their shoulders straight under the warm sunlight.

That was the same for criminals too.

“So awakened criminals register as Hunters and gather with similar types to form guilds.”

As if the saying “birds of a feather flock together” exists for a reason.

The criminals who gather this way commit countless crimes based on their Awakened powers.

Yet they pretend to be Hunters in front, diligently acting like they’re hunting monsters.

In the end, they live pretending that all the profits they earn are money honestly made by hunting monsters, not from crimes.

“Simply put, it’s like money laundering done in the open.”

“That’s closer to being unable to catch them rather than not catching them.”

“Right.”

It’s a side effect that arose from normalizing the world too quickly.

To fix this, the Hunter system would need to be reformed, but that’s not an easy task either.

In the end, dark guilds have been staining the world as a dark aspect of Awakened society since long ago.

“Well, besides that, pathetic unwritten rules are also actually a dark aspect.”

Like crippling people for hunting monsters in Gates that everyone uses publicly.

Or relying only on a guild’s reputation and recklessly using wide-area skills in places where many people gather, injuring countless people.

In Awakened society, which has only existed for about 20 years, all sorts of unwritten rules were blocking the way forward.

“I’ve tried to fix that several times, but I can’t do it alone.”

I don’t know about civilians, but there are countless people who get hurt or die because of those unwritten rules.

“You know what? The most ridiculous unwritten rule is that you must go to F-Rank Gates alone.”

“…What kind of nonsense is that?”

“I don’t know either. So surprisingly, many Hunters die in F-Rank Gates?”

There were even ridiculous cases where if you didn’t follow this unwritten rule, you’d be blocked from joining guilds.

It was quite frequent for people who just came out of the Tutorial Tower to enter Gates with the complacent thought that they’d revive if they died, only to end up dying.

“What’s really interesting is that these unwritten rules spread throughout Korea usually came from one place.”

“…Don’t tell me.”

“The place you’re probably thinking of is correct, right?”

Seolhwa Guild.

Korea’s number 1 ranked guild and the guild Kim Tae-seong belongs to.

“So that’s why you hated Seolhwa Guild so much from our first meeting.”

“I couldn’t like that place even if I tried.”

The place where all sorts of bad practices began.

Yet the place that’s doing the best.

From the perspective of a Hunter of the Association who has to clean up the mess they made, Seolhwa Guild was a place she could never view favorably even if she died.

Rather, since they don’t even cooperate at all, from her perspective, it was no different from an enemy.

“Well, that’s not the only reason though.”

Seong Yu-mi, who added quietly, stretched long.

“Anyway, let’s finish this quickly. I want to write the contract and rest too.”

I nodded and turned my gaze toward the Gate visible in the distance.

There, Jeong Chan-woo and Im Seung-hun, who had tied up everyone from the Gate with rope, were waiting for me and Seong Yu-mi.

* * *

The story after that was surprisingly simple.

Seong Yu-mi, who quickly finished explaining the situation, immediately struck the Villains on the head.

When I asked in confusion why she suddenly hit them on the back of the head, she said she learned how to cast magic in reverse when she dispelled the magic cast on Choi Su-a?

Thanks to that, Seong Yu-mi cast magic on everyone present that would allow her to restore their memories whenever she wanted.

Those who lost their memories were immediately taken to the Association.

At first, they didn’t believe that those who lost their memories were Villains.

However, since the reporters were me and Seong Yu-mi, and the existence of the massive Villain named Yun Tae-ho proved all the circumstances.

Thanks to that, the Association took all the unconscious people to the Awakened Offender Penitentiary without any interrogation.

“Speaking of which, this house was an abandoned house.”

I quietly looked at the house in front of me.

A house that wasn’t organized at all.

I thought it belonged to one of the Villains, but it seems it was an abandoned house that belonged to no one.

“…Should I buy it.”

With the money I have now, I should be able to purchase it.

I’ve saved up quite a bit of money anyway. I earned considerably while hunting monsters.

If I buy this house, my dream Han River View Apartment will become a bit more distant but…

‘I’ll earn money quickly just by continuing A-rank Hunter work.’

I muttered to myself and shrugged my shoulders as I turned around.

“Well, now isn’t the time to worry about such things.”

A day passed and the next morning came.

Today, when Cheon Yu-na, who received a clean bill of health from the hospital, returned to the guild.

Finally, the three people will receive their guild membership contracts.
