Chapter 47
Tae-gyeom once again felt his limitations.
A-rank.
The title sounded impressive, but at this moment, it seemed infinitely light.
If only he were S-rank at a time like this.
Then at least he wouldn’t be pushed back so one-sidedly.
Whoosh.
At that moment, the golem’s massive arm came rushing at him once again.
As Tae-gyeom barely rolled his body to dodge, the missed attack struck the huge rock behind him directly.
The shocked rock shattered into pieces and immediately came tumbling down on top of Tae-gyeom.
His vision instantly darkened.
Fortunately, he avoided the disaster of being crushed by the falling rocks, but he ended up trapped between the stones.
He gasped for breath and tried to move his body, but the rocks surrounding him on all sides wouldn’t budge.
Tae-gyeom gritted his teeth.
Had he followed them in for nothing?
It would have been better if Lee Haechan or another Hunter had come instead.
The thought that Hana would also be in danger because of his weakness filled him with frustration.
“I told him to trust only me and made such a big fuss. I’m dying of embarrassment.”
But just as Tae-gyeom finally hung his head.
Thud!
A heavy impact sound echoed from outside the rocks.
Tae-gyeom’s eyes snapped open.
Thinking it might be an auditory hallucination, he pressed his ear close to the wall.
Thud!
But as if to prove he hadn’t misheard, the sound of something hitting the rocks came again.
Then the next moment, the gap between the rocks blocking his view began to crack.
Through the hole created by the crumbling fractured rock, Hana’s clear face appeared.
“Oh? You were here?”
“Yun… Hana?”
“I was just about to go look for you since you weren’t coming back, but suddenly rocks collapsed right in front of me and I was startled.”
Tae-gyeom couldn’t speak for a while.
Just moments ago, this entire rocky terrain had been overwhelming him. And the person who had broken through it was speaking calmly right in front of him.
Hana casually cleared away the remaining pile of stones and extended his hand.
“You can get up, right?”
Tae-gyeom awkwardly took that hand.
And as if being pulled out, he easily escaped from the pile of rocks.
His body was scratched and bruised here and there, but there were no serious injuries.
Confirming this, Hana nodded.
“That’s a relief.”
At the same time as those words, something was pushed into Tae-gyeom’s mouth.
“Wha ih ih?” (What is this?)
“Ssam. Try eating it.”
Since the situation was so surreal, Tae-gyeom felt dizzy.
So without knowing what he was doing, he was chewing the ssam, and before long, his fingertips began to tingle strangely.
“…!”
Then he suddenly remembered the golem’s existence that he had briefly forgotten.
Tae-gyeom reflexively stood to block Hana’s front.
Thud! Thud!
Sure enough, the golem was charging at them, shaking the ground.
Even though he knew he was no match for it, Tae-gyeom cast his skill again.
‘If only I could move this terrain itself.’
Or if he had the ability to hold that thing down even for a moment, he might not know about himself, but at least he could let Hana escape.
Tae-gyeom hoped for this as he imagined pressing down on the golem with his telekinetic power.
The moment he reached out his hand toward the golem.
【SYSTEM】
【Casting skill ‘Telekinesis – Pressure of the Invisible Hand (S-rank)’.】
“Huh?”
As soon as a skill name he’d never seen before appeared in his vision, the charging golem’s movement stopped abruptly.
Then it was flattened as if crushed by a huge iron ball.
Crack.
Bang!
The rock crumbled under the strong compression force and burst into pieces.
“Uh, uhh?”
Tae-gyeom couldn’t understand what had happened.
He could only frantically look back and forth between his hand and what had once been a golem but was now just a handful of dust.
“Did I, did I do this?”
【SYSTEM】
【Due to the effect of ‘Let’s Jump Over Our Limits, Mushroom Lettuce Wrap🥬(A-rank)’, Yun Taegyeom’s Hunter rank increases.】
【A-rank → S-rank】
Tae-gyeom’s jaw dropped as if it would fall off.
Tae-gyeom flailed his hands toward Hana.
“Wha, what is this? What did you feed me?”
Only after seeing that reaction did Hana become certain.
Ah, it was successful.
Then he smiled brightly.
“It’s my new item. The effect is pretty good, right?”

Kang Hyeon, who had entered the Rock Tomb Gate with Han Tae-ho leading the way, stopped walking for a moment.
Then he slowly surveyed the inside of the gate with a cold expression.
While Kang Hyeon briefly turned his back.
“Damn Seo Ganghyeon!”
Han Tae-ho’s hammer swung straight at the back of Kang Hyeon’s head.
But Kang Hyeon didn’t even turn around.
He simply drew his sword lightly, and the flat of the blade easily deflected the hammer.
Zing—.
As the shock traveled up the handle, Han Tae-ho’s hand trembled.
“Kugh!”
Only then did Kang Hyeon turn his head.
“Why. Are you trying to kill me or something?”
Han Tae-ho gritted his teeth, but his momentum was already broken.
As Kang Hyeon approached, Han Tae-ho instinctively stepped back.
The fierce attitude of the Crimson Moon Guild Leader from just moments ago was nowhere to be found.
It was natural.
Han Tae-ho’s abilities were tracking and transformation.
Though he was holding a weapon, Han Tae-ho wasn’t a close-combat type to begin with.
Tap.
At that moment, a pebble was kicked by Kang Hyeon’s foot.
When he looked down, he saw a deeply dented floor.
It looked as if something huge had pressed down from above.
Around it, the shattered remains of a golem were scattered.
Traces of the entire space being compressed and released in an instant.
Kang Hyeon’s gaze sank even lower.
“Now, Han Tae-ho.”
Kang Hyeon’s ash-gray eyes slowly turned.
“From now on, pray earnestly. That my guild members are safe.”
Han Tae-ho’s Adam’s apple bobbed greatly.
“If they’re not, I’ll blow your head off first, Crimson Moon Guild or whatever.”

“Wow, this is really amazing!”
“Right? What did I tell you! The meat we eat here is the best!”
Meanwhile.
Hana and Tae-gyeom were peacefully grilling pork belly on a flat stone slab.
In the very place where they had been engaged in fierce combat just minutes before.
Hana, who had been licking his lips at the sight of the meat, looked around.
“But is it okay for us to be so leisurely like this? What if a Boss Monster shows up?”
Since no notification about defeating a Boss Monster had appeared in the system window, the corrupted golems they had dealt with seemed to be regular monsters.
When he asked worriedly, Tae-gyeom waved his hand dismissively, telling him not to worry.
“We only left it alive because the Gate closes when the conquest is complete, but the Boss Monster is basically in a combat-incapable state anyway. It’s almost completely destroyed with only the monster core barely remaining.”
“Ah. I see.”
“Yes, so don’t worry about anything and let’s just enjoy our meat!”
With those words, Hana and Tae-gyeom began aggressively making wraps.
Meat grease splattered along with the heat rising from beneath the stone slab.
The surroundings were a mess due to scattered stones, but the two were as peaceful as if they had come on a picnic.
Especially Tae-gyeom, who was hurriedly stuffing lettuce and cherry tomatoes into his mouth indiscriminately.
Anyone watching would think he was someone who hadn’t eaten for days.
Thanks to Hana’s crops, the bruises and torn wounds from being hit by the golem earlier had completely disappeared as if they had never existed.
Tae-gyeom stuffed a wrap half the size of his face into his mouth in one bite and tapped his watch while chewing.
Tap, tap.
“But did that bastard Seo Ganghyeon see my message or not?”
Tae-gyeom muttered with a muffled pronunciation.
“I sent a message saying we’re okay in case he was worried about the Gate grade changing.”
After fiddling with his watch a few more times, he finally said “Whatever, I don’t know” and focused on the meat again.
“By the way, it’s such a relief that Hana didn’t encounter any monsters while I was away.”
“Huh? But I did meet one, a monster?”
“What?! Are, are you hurt anywhere?”
Panicked, Tae-gyeom examined Hana from head to toe.
Hana calmed down the flustered Tae-gyeom.
“I’m fine. The monster I met probably wasn’t that strong. It broke apart when I hit it once?”
At Hana’s words, horizontal wrinkles formed on Tae-gyeom’s forehead.
“Fortunately, the golem Hana encountered wasn’t a corrupted one.”
Quite naturally, Tae-gyeom assumed that the monster Hana had met was a D-grade regular monster.
“But even so, it would have been too much for Hana to handle. Hana, are you really F-rank?”
“Yes. Of course.”
At this frequently asked question lately, Hana reflexively nodded.
Hadn’t he just checked the system window a few minutes ago to examine the effects of the wrap vegetables?
It was an indisputable fact.
But Tae-gyeom seemed unconvinced.
“Honestly, just tell me. I won’t tell anyone else.”
“Come on, I really am F-rank. More importantly, did Yun Taegyeom really become S-rank?”
At Hana’s question, Tae-gyeom’s lips simply curled up.
Then he covered his mouth in emotion.
“That’s right, I’m now S-rank-, gasp.”
Tae-gyeom suddenly jumped up and ran around the stone slab in circles, unable to contain his emotion.
“Wow, I’m S-rank now! S-rank! Uhahahaha!”
He seemed to have completely forgotten that this was the center of a Gate.
That’s when it happened.
Another voice echoed from beyond the rock hill.
“Even so, I’m the Guild Leader of a 3rd ranked guild, this treatment is too much! I’m even your senior, more than you! Wait a minute, but doesn’t it smell like someone’s grilling meat?”
