My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 74

Episode 74. Behave Yourself

Black mist rolls in like waves.

Massive waves that cannot be resisted even if one wanted to resist them surge forward in undulating motions.

Those who are swept away.

Heo Hyeon-yun, the only one who managed to hold his ground, gritted his teeth and glared straight ahead.

“Black Dragon…!”

“That’s right. It’s me, you bastard.”

I looked at Heo Hyeon-yun with a sneer.

He had already transformed his right hand into that of a wolf to cut through the mist.

“You were barking pretty well back then, weren’t you? I need to properly train you on who your master is.”

“Ha! Go ahead and keep talking now. You guys need to be arrested for building destruction and trespassing!”

“Really? Well, then there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Shrugging my shoulders, I approached Heo Hyeon-yun with light steps.

Heo Hyeon-yun seemed flustered by my appearance and hesitated instead.

Stopping in front of him, I held out both hands toward him and said.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to arrest me?”

“…”

“Ah, but if you’re going to arrest me, you should think carefully. The Association is so competent that they couldn’t even notice people being kidnapped in the middle of Seoul, so I’ll spread that rumor all around the neighborhood.”

“…!”

I said that while tilting my head toward the back.

Following my gesture, Heo Hyeon-yun turned his gaze and discovered the victims being transported while wrapped in mist, then widened his eyes.

“So, what will you do?”

Now Heo Hyeon-yun is the only S-Rank Hunter left in the Association.

Since Seong Yu-mi left the Association, Heo Hyeon-yun has to handle all of Seoul.

But a kidnapping incident happened openly in the middle of Seoul.

And a former Association S-Rank Hunter rescued people before the current Association S-Rank Hunter?

But the current Association S-Rank Hunter arrested the former Association S-Rank Hunter?

If they arrest us, who would face the backlash?

“Behave yourself.”

The moment they arrest us, the public will also find out.

Why Seong Yu-mi ended up leaving the Association.

At my smirking expression, Heo Hyeon-yun’s face contorted mercilessly.

Chuckling, I gestured to the paramedics who were standing by in formation behind the gradually gathering crowd.

“Come over here.”

“Y-Yes!”

These were ordinary paramedics unrelated to the Association.

I handed over the sleeping people to them one by one and said.

“These are kidnapping victims. I checked and there were no external injuries.”

“Understood!”

“Please transport everyone to the nearest hospital and conduct proper examinations.”

“Yes!”

Several ambulances loaded all the people and hurriedly left the scene.

Heo Hyeon-yun, who had maintained a stiff expression until then, suddenly turned around and shouted with hearty laughter.

“Well, even someone who used to be an Association Hunter is different even after leaving the Association! Black Dragon, I’ll always support you!”

So he chose that option after all.

Smirking, I glanced back behind me.

There, Seong Yu-mi was quietly giving me a thumbs up.

‘But this is a bit disappointing.’

This doesn’t sit well with me.

After briefly pondering, I raised the corners of my mouth and said.

“Thank you, Hunter Heo Hyeon-yun. But you know, I didn’t do this alone.”

“…You.”

“Demon King Seong Yu-mi and Comet Jeong Chan-woo. Tiger Slayer Im Seung-hun also helped together.”

Cracks appeared in the mask of a cheerful young man that Heo Hyeon-yun was wearing.

Capturing the veins bulging on his forehead precisely in my eyes, I said.

“I don’t know about Im Seung-hun, but those two were your colleagues. Please say a word of support for how things turned out.”

“…Ah, right. Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo, you both worked hard too. As an Association Hunter, I should have stepped forward first, but I’m really sorry and grateful.”

Pfft.

At Heo Hyeon-yun’s words, Seong Yu-mi couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Jeong Chan-woo had already turned his head and was trembling his shoulders slightly.

Only then, nodding my head with satisfaction, I lightly patted Heo Hyeon-yun’s shoulder.

“The scene cleanup. I’ll leave it to you?”

“…”

“We’re leaving now.”

Wave, wave.

Waving lightly at him, I passed by Heo Hyeon-yun’s side with light steps.

Following me, Jini and Elpinire passed by his side.

Im Seung-hun.

Jeong Chan-woo.

And lastly.

“Good work~”

Seong Yu-mi.

Passed by his side and left the scene.

Heo Hyeon-yun, who had been standing as if nailed in place, finally turned his head while gritting his teeth after a long while.

But there was no one there anymore.

There was only a black sedan disappearing in the distance.

* * *

“Black Dragon. You really did so well. It feels so refreshing!”

Inside the moving car.

I chuckled at Seong Yu-mi’s words.

“Rather, I did it because I wanted to.”

I don’t like that bastard either.

Look even now.

He came running frantically to block our path.

How is that person like an onion?

How does peeling away layers only decrease his likability?

When we had gotten somewhat away, Jeong Chan-woo, who had been sleeping, opened his mouth.

“Was there something underground?”

“There was.”

At Jeong Chan-woo’s words, I recalled what had happened about 10 minutes ago.

* * *

“Everyone seems fine, Master.”

“There don’t seem to be any major mental problems either.”

At Elpinire and Jini’s words, I let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seemed we weren’t too late.

…Though we might have already been too late.

Anyway, just the fact that they were exposed to magi but had no major problems was enough.

Next was…

“What do we do about that magi.”

The demonic energy must be completely eradicated.

If left alone thinking it’s just a remnant, who knows what kind of disaster might occur.

While I was pondering this.

“Squeak.”

Thud.

Cheo-ri, who had been on my shoulder, suddenly jumped down.

Then, before I could do anything, it suddenly began charging toward the demonic energy.

“Hey!”

Charging into demonic energy so dense that even I didn’t want to touch it.

I urgently reached out my hand to grab Cheo-ri, but.

“Ah!”

Of all times, it moved as nimbly as a snake.

The creature easily dodged my hand and made contact with the demonic energy.

Turning pale, I urgently reached out and pulled Cheo-ri out, demonic energy be damned.

Please be safe.

I repeated this countless times, but.

“Squeak.”

The creature was perfectly fine.

Rather, it looked at me with eyes that seemed to ask why I was acting this way.

“Are, are you okay…?”

“Squeak squeak.”

Munch munch.

The creature was moving its mouth non-stop.

With a suspicion in mind, I turned my head to look at the demonic energy.

“It decreased?”

The remnant of demonic energy had drastically diminished.

After blinking several times, I asked Cheo-ri.

“Did you eat it?”

“Squeak.”

“The demonic energy?”

“Squeak.”

“You’ll get sick if you eat just anything, you know?”

“Squeak squeak.”

As if telling me not to worry, Cheo-ri tapped my hand with its tail and jumped down again, running toward the demonic energy.

I watched with dazed eyes as Cheo-ri munched away at the demonic energy as if it were perfectly fine.

“…This is really driving me crazy.”

Eating demonic energy.

It was truly unbelievable, but the creature devoured every last bit of the remaining demonic energy.

Seeing its tongue flicking with such satisfaction, it really seemed to be fine.

“What exactly are you?”

“Squeak squeak squeak. Squeak.”

Sigh.

I let out a sigh and picked up Cheo-ri as it crawled toward me with a bouncing gait.

Then, from behind me, I heard a trembling voice.

“Did it just eat the demonic energy…?”

“Is, is it really okay…?”

The two people who had bad memories regarding demonic energy couldn’t hide their bewilderment as they looked at Cheo-ri.

Honestly, I was bewildered too, but.

“It says it’s fine.”

If it says it’s fine, what can we do.

Come to think of it, this creature even chews on stones.

Demonic energy is corrupted mana, so is there any reason it couldn’t chew on that?

“Well…”

Elpinire couldn’t argue with my words and agreed.

Even by her standards, eating magic stones wasn’t normal.

Anyway.

“So what was this place used for?”

This place had now regained its light.

It wasn’t that there were electric lights or anything, but Cheo-ri’s flames were illuminating all around.

Thanks to this, we could examine the interior of the cavern.

But we couldn’t see anything particularly unusual anywhere.

“There’s nothing inside the prison either.”

Usually, if it’s a prison, there should be restraints inside.

But there were no restraints of any kind here.

Perhaps there was no need for them.

If they’re constantly sleeping, why would restraints be necessary?

Thanks to that, all that was in this place was the wide cavern and the prison.

And.

“This is somewhat suspicious though.”

Only the altar in the center.

I lightly tapped the altar with the back of my hand.

Why exactly is this here?

“Should I break it?”

My deliberation was brief.

I clenched my fist and struck the altar with all my might.

“…This too?”

Just like the prison bars.

The altar also wouldn’t break easily.

It looks like an ordinary stone on the surface.

“Then I’ll use Black Dragon…”

“Master. Wait a moment.”

I stopped my action at Elpinire’s words as I was raising my fist high to use ‘Black Dragon’.

When I stepped aside, Elpinire immediately stood where I had been and began examining the altar from various angles.

“Is there something there?”

“I can sense some kind of traces.”

Elpinire’s words were trustworthy.

After examining the altar for a long time, she carefully reached out and touched the side of the altar.

“Here and…”

Elpinire touched the right side of the altar with her hand, then pressed the center of the altar’s top surface with her fist.

At that moment.

“Oh.”

“Wow!”

The top cover of the altar sank in.

It split in half, revealing the interior.

I stared at the altar split in half with a dumbfounded expression.

How exactly did Elpinire know…

“…”

She didn’t know either.

Elpinire’s expression wasn’t much different from mine.

She probably just got lucky.

I cleared my throat and stuck my head out to look inside the altar.

There, a black jewelry box was stored.

“What’s this?”

I reached in and pulled out the jewelry box, narrowing my eyes.

“As expected, it won’t open.”

If it was an item stored like this, it was definitely something extraordinary.

So when I tried to open it, sure enough, the lid of the container wouldn’t budge.

I turned my head and held out the container to Elpinire.

“Elpinire. Do you know how to open this?”

“No. There are no traces on this container, so I don’t know. Sorry, Master.”

“Nothing to be sorry about.”

If you don’t know, you don’t know. What’s there to be sorry about?

I casually brushed it off, set the container down on the ground, and took a step back.

“Then I guess I really have no choice but to break this thing.”

Crack.

Scales sprouted on my right hand.

Having activated ‘Black Dragon’, I struck the container with my fist without hesitation.

“To think it’s fine after taking a punch from Master…”

The ground cracked with a tremendous roar.

The container, which I naturally thought would have broken, was merely embedded in the ground, completely intact without a single scratch.

Since this was the first time something like this had happened, I panicked and immediately drew a large amount of mana from my body and wrapped it around my right hand.

[Thousand Transformations – Dragon Scale]

Thud.

My right hand transformed once more with a torrent of mist.

I clenched my right hand, now possessing more vicious and stronger power, and struck down at the container once again.

“This is fucking crazy.”

Craaack!

Not just the ground, but the ceiling and walls too.

Cracks spread everywhere.

Yet the container remained intact.

“How is this even possible?”

This doesn’t make sense.

I let out a hollow laugh and looked up at the ceiling.

Perhaps because I swung my fist too thoughtlessly, huge cracks were slowly spreading across the ceiling.

“It’ll be dangerous if we stay here long.”

It would collapse soon.

We needed to get out of here quickly.

“Jini. Elpinire. Take care of the sleeping people. Let’s get out of here.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Got it, Master.”

At my command, Jini immediately used Omen to lift up the people.

Elpinire also created vines from the empty ground and bound the people to lift them up.

I too used mist to lift up the people.

And so we escaped from the Underground Waterway.

* * *

“…Black Dragon.”

Blink, blink.

I had stopped to wait for the right turn signal and turned my head at the voice coming from behind me.

There, Seong Yu-mi was looking at me with a serious expression.

“There was a jewelry box?”

“Yes.”

Since there wasn’t much to do while driving, I had told them about what happened in the Underground Waterway.

The story had just finished, and Seong Yu-mi asked me back in a serious voice.

I looked at Seong Yu-mi with an expression asking why she was acting like that.

“…You didn’t leave it behind, did you?”

“Come on. Would I leave something like that behind?”

It should definitely be here…

“…”

“…”

Why isn’t it here?

I broke out in a cold sweat.

I’m sure I put it in my pocket, but where did it go?

Just as I was desperately wracking my melted brain,

Jini, who was sitting on Elpinire’s lap, quietly raised her hand.

“I have that…”

“Ah.”

That’s right.

I had given it to Jini right before encountering Heo Hyeon-yun.

I didn’t want to face that bastard with my pocket bulging, so I handed it over, but I had forgotten about it.

I cleared my throat as I received the jewelry box from Jini.

“Here it is. The jewelry box.”

“…”

Please don’t look at me with those eyes.

I’m already embarrassed enough, so please.
