Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 179
The sound of his heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears.
Lee Taemin gripped his twin swords and summoned his magical power. Deep blue magical power studded with stars like the vast universe stirred restlessly.
Chabu, an Awakened, was impressed by the sight.
“Wow, wow, this is something. Our rookie hunter wouldn’t be out of place even if he re-awakened as S-Rank, right? Brothers, the future of the Republic of Korea looks very bright, doesn’t it?”
Pyroclasto showed signs of hesitation upon sensing the enormous magical power.
Lee Taemin suddenly felt his earlobe with the earring burning hot.
“Friend, I think you should take off that earring.”
Gidan’s warning suddenly came to mind.
So did the Baby Bandit Gang that had threatened him with a fork, demanding he hand over the earring.
What did Hyeonak know about this earring?
He had vaguely sensed it. That this thing was threatening his life.
‘But…’
Choi Hyunwoo, who had given him the earring, flashed through his mind.
“What’s this?”
“I scraped together some pocket money. I bought this secretly, so don’t go around telling anyone about it.”
“Hyung, this… doesn’t look like it cost just a penny or two…”
“How many times do I have to tell you? You’re our signboard. If you live, I live, and we all live.”
The Supreme Grade Magic Stone Earring he had bought by spending all the money he had saved for marriage.
By the time he realized this was wrong, it was already too late.
‘I’m such an idiot, really.’
His own magical power stirred as if it would attack him.
Even so, Lee Taemin gritted his teeth and charged at Pyroclasto.
Water energy infused into his twin swords, extending their length.
The water from the twin swords with extended reach wrapped around Pyroclasto’s hot surface like whips.
Hissssss-!
However, the water Lee Taemin summoned repeatedly evaporated and reappeared each time it touched Pyroclasto’s shell.
A difference in class.
Though he kept summoning water with the magical power emanating from the earring, it was clear his skills weren’t working.
This was too much to handle alone.
A support-type hunter needed to lower the monster’s defense power and target its weak points. It was clearly impossible to do this alone.
“Uh, uh, it looks like the situation is turning unfavorable.”
Chabu, who had observed countless strategies, waved both hands.
“Hunter Lee Taemin! Let’s retreat for now!”
If they bought some time and called the hunters on standby, they could definitely get out of this. They were already fully prepared for any possible situation.
But.
“Hunter Lee Taemin?”
Lee Taemin’s reaction was far from normal.
“His eyes have gone crazy….”
“Why is he acting like that?”
Chabu gestured to the PD.
“Call the standby hunters for now. The situation is strange.”
“GRAAAAAAAAAH!”
Pyroclasto, who had been exchanging blows with Lee Taemin, roared once again.
Chabu’s body stiffened.
Pyroclasto had used a skill.
‘Fear!’
When hit by the Fear skill, lower-ranked hunters’ bodies freeze for a moment.
And here, there was no Awakened with a higher rank than Pyroclasto.
“No, damn it!”
It was when Pyroclasto opened its mouth wide to devour Lee Taemin.
Whooooooosh-
Suddenly, a sandstorm enveloped the boss.
The hard shell was easily ground away by the sand, beginning to reveal the flesh underneath.
“H-Hyungs…. Can you see that? A sandstorm suddenly started… What is it?”
Defense power that even an A-rank rookie couldn’t penetrate was being broken through this easily?
It was when everyone, including Chabu, was just staring at that miraculous scene.
Thwack!
A dagger that appeared from somewhere delivered a light basic attack.
Swoosh-
Swoosh-
Swoosh-
At the same time, bullets shot out at Mach speed from three drones.
The bullets passed straight through the head of Pyroclasto, whose flesh was completely exposed.
“Graaaah…!”
Thud!
Pyroclasto collapsed in one hit, and the surroundings shook violently.
‘Could it be S-Rank?’
It was when everyone was thinking the same thing.
A silhouette was revealed through the sand.
Bright blue eyes turned toward them.
“Sergey…?”
Chabu muttered quietly.
He was a YouTuber from a major hunter channel.
Naturally, he knew all the guild members of famous guilds, and he knew Sergey well too.
Since Hyeonak had declared they wouldn’t accept new recruits, the sudden hiring of a minor with an undisclosed grade had caused quite a commotion in communities and such.
‘Then could it be…’
Thump thump thump. His heart began beating violently.
The pounding he experienced whenever he saw a strong person.
His heart had discovered a strong person and was reacting intensely.
Sergey’s abilities definitely surpass Lee Taemin, who is A-rank!
Despite people’s shocked stares, Sergey nonchalantly blew and popped his bubble gum.
“That’s right. Sergey Markov.”
After answering briefly and looking straight ahead, Sergey suddenly flinched.
What was the reason? Had another monster appeared perhaps?
It was when the film crew was tensely looking around nervously.
Sergey pointed with a displeased expression at the chick drones circling above his head like flies and said.
“These chicks will be on sale soon, so please show lots of interest.”
The Unfinished Teddy Bear Doll that had somehow gotten mixed in among the staff gave a thumbs up as if it had become a PD.
– Mm! That’s exactly it!
However, Sergey just chewed his gum irritably, apparently not pleased with becoming an advertising model.
“…?”
It was the amazing AA-rank solo play debut of an undisclosed grade hunter.
But.
All of this was for advertising?
“…”
The audience was enveloped in silence.
Only the chat room was going wild with excitement. The chat window kept scrolling up endlessly with countless question marks.
– ?
– Sergey? Drone?
– Chabu hyung, are we in the middle of some super fun hidden camera show right now?
– It is super fun though??
– Is this real? Then is Sergey S-rank?
– wtf
The first to come to his senses was Chabu, who had eaten his fill of broadcasting experience.
He immediately turned the microphone toward Jjapso.
Sergey showing unexpected skills was good, but what had caused an even greater reaction in the chat window was the appearance of the Rail Gun.
“Jjapso hyung! You’re planning to sell the drones?!”
– That’s right.
“Looking at it, the size seems a bit different from what was shown in the news, right?”
Han Gru nodded hesitantly.
– This one is B-Grade…
The mechanism was the same, but he was slightly worried because the power had decreased as the grade was lowered.
“Ah, so it’s a Rail Gun with a slightly lower grade? Where are you selling it? The chat window is going crazy right now, so please give us just a little more information, hyung. Just a tiny bit more.”
– Hmm, I’ll sell about 5 drones. However, you’ll need to purchase the Magic Stones separately. I’ll announce the detailed sales channels later.
“Wow, only 5 units? Everyone’s going to go crazy trying to buy these. People are already going insane telling me to take their money. Can you see?”
Gru perked up his ears.
Chabu briefly showed him the chat window rapidly scrolling on his mobile phone.
It was moving too fast to read what was written, but he could tell there were many people who wanted it.
‘Is it popular even with a lower grade?’
Just as Gru was feeling a bit relieved.
“Grrrgh….”
A throat-scratching sound from Lee Taemin could be heard.
‘…?’
“Krraaagh!”
“Tae, Taemin! Taemin, what’s wrong!”
Soon after, around Lee Taemin, wind caused by magical power spread out like ripples.
Swooooosh-!
Sergey instantly flew over to Gru and moved away from the radius of the wave.
Gru’s bag rustled and Veilak poked his head out.
“Myumyu….” (He’s going to rampage.)
It was a core containing SSS-Rank Veilak’s magical power.
Since he was using it raw without refining it, the fragile human body couldn’t withstand it.
A true magical power rampage.
This was similar to an Incomplete Awakening.
It would leave massive damage to the surroundings and he himself would burst like a bubble.
True to the Hunter Channel, BJ Chabu and the staff who sensed the danger immediately began to flee.
Taemin suffering in agony and the film crew scattering.
And among them, the only one trying to approach Taemin was Choi Hyunwoo alone.
