chapter 375
375 – It’s All My Fault
When Hyun Il-hwan left, everyone let out the breath they had been holding.
“Puh-ha”
“Hehe, I’m really dying. You’re so needlessly kind.”
“I can’t hide my strength properly yet. I guess I’m still at transcendent level?”
“Hey, hey, I’ll listen. Be careful what you say.”
Noh Hayun was annoyed for no reason.
Because she often met ‘witches’, she knew very well what Hyeon Il-hwan’s lack of training meant.
“But aren’t they going to give me some kind of compensation? “I made this mess?”
Bae Joo-ah, who is meticulous in her calculations, looked at the direction Hyun Il-hwan flew in and said that she was disappointed, and Jang Yu-chan, who has sharp ears, said that he was planning to have a meeting about this tomorrow and that he would talk about it then.
“I’m sorry to everyone, but I think the drug ‘Kilbad’ will be the key issue rather than the confrontation that took place today.”
“Why?”
“Illegal products derived from evolutionary stones are slowly rising to the surface, and if there is a way to increase physical abilities without damaging the body, it will be much easier to deal with such organizations. There is no way Ilseom will easily give out recipes , but outside of the world like this, “If you look at what was revealed, there must have been something different in mind.”
“What Hyun Woo-seok did was not a very calculated action.”
“Yes.”
“One person from our side will attend that meeting.”
“That’s right.”
Jang Yu-chan gladly accepted Joo-a’s offer to attend her meeting about this case.
In the first place, it made no sense to talk about her parties separately.
At that time, a man came out of the sparring hall, hesitated, and said.
“Um… Um… This is my first time greeting you. My name is ‘Doyeon’, and I am in charge of guiding the way down.”
“Uh… Hello?”
A chestnut-haired man who seemed to embody the word calm in person stepped forward to serve as a guide.
“…Then shall we go right away?”
A man named ‘Do-yeon’ was a member of Ilseom and watched from the beginning, but when other people got excited, he did not show any emotions and just watched.
If this hadn’t happened, people would have thought that most of Ilseom’s members were prosecutors with this simple image.
The path coming down with the man’s guidance was a completely different path from the first time we came up.
“The hidden dungeon has affected many places, making it difficult for even those who have trained for a long time to move.”
“Ah… That’s why I told you to go down with a guide.”
“Yes.”
Thanks to the guide, the people safely arrived at their first car.
But the guide stood still and calmly opened his lips.
“I, too, am very sorry about what happened today. Wooseok… No, Master Hyun has sometimes done things that I don’t understand since he was young. As time went by and he covered it up, I think he ended up in this situation. .
However, since I have caught the attention of the great master, I will never cause any harm to you again.”
“······.”
It was an unexpected gift.
It touched me even more because it came from someone who was a pure spectator from the beginning to the end.
After listening to his words, strangely enough, I felt like I would no longer be tormented by Ilseom.
Lee Yeon-hee nodded lightly and sat in the back seat of the waiting car with Baek A-rin.
* * *
Although it was a mess in many ways, we gathered at Helen’s store to celebrate the neat conclusion to the battle with Ilseom.
While the table was being busily set, we listened to the news.
「··· While there are tensions between those who argue that the hunter rating system is no longer meaningless and should be abolished, and those who argue that it is not desirable to abandon the system that has maintained order for a long time at once. ..”
「··· While legislation requiring that parties entering a dungeon include at least one high-ranking hunter is pending due to extreme conflict between the ruling and opposition parties, data shows that damage due to abnormal phenomena within the dungeon is steadily increasing… 」
♣··· FHN has reported that another S-class hunter has joined ‘DOH’, which has now grown into an international criminal organization. It was even shocking that the hunters who joined this time were revealed to be elite agents who were secretly chasing ‘DOH’…”
“Voices of concern are growing day by day about the ‘Debowing Creeper,’ a large monster that is rapidly growing in North Korea. The argument that North Korea should not be left to its own devices is gaining strength, and a task force has been set up to take joint action with China…”
All the news delivered in those few minutes were related to hunters. Among them, there was some news that was bound to attract attention.
“Oh, those bastards withdrew from Korea and are now in France? Why are they doing this? What on earth are they ultimately aiming for?”
‘Well, if I knew that, I’d try something…’
As soon as I arrived at Helen’s shop, I was summoned again and remembered the item called ‘whistle’ given to me by the head of ‘Do’.
They said they would contact me, but there hasn’t been any news yet.
‘It’s better not to hear from you right now… I hope you can give me some time.’
It was my hope that we would meet again after we had grown up enough.
However, the head of the province, who has the ability to see the future, would not allow it to be that easy.
The leader of ‘Tao’, who knows that this world will be destroyed and is working hard in his own way.
However, when the cross between the person I met in the basement and the goblin came to mind, the emotions from that time surged again and I became angry.
“Shouldn’t we have hit that big monster a long time ago? It’s gotten so big. I don’t know if we can catch it now.”
“Oh, when the great monster first appeared, our country’s hunters made a statement saying they would help, so it’s good.”
“Well… Considering that the last major monster that appeared in our country was caught in two days… It might have been easier if we had suppressed it early on.”
“As the country itself becomes more closed, there really is no answer there.”
‘That’s right. Relations between countries are messy, and people are dying here and there. They don’t even inform the public about the phenomenon.’
Maintaining a dictatorship is only possible if there is a country, but if we leave it like this for one more year, there will be no one left in North Korea.
‘After sucking the ley line for a few months, it might be time to head south…’
Immediately on the news, an area hundreds of times the size of Yeouido was estimated to have been encroached upon by a monster.
On the screen, something pitch black was seen covering the dry ground.
It looks like a long kidney bean, but it is the egg of a great monster.
When I thought that each and every one of them was a monster with Class A combat power, I felt dizzy.
Of course, this is something only I and a few other people know.
‘I think we need to push the timing a little further… There are too many numbers.’
Maeng Seong-yong, who said he would take action within six months, is definitely participating in the task force mentioned in the news.
Considering the nature of the TF, it is certain that meaningful action will be taken in a short period of time, so we must also be prepared for any unexpected call.
‘Why is there so much to do… How did it end up like this?’
I just want to grow step by step by going through the dungeons with Yeonhee one by one, but it’s crazy because unexpected things keep happening all over the place.
“Helen, uh… Is there any news on how you two are doing…”
Yeonhee asked Helen, who came out to help in the kitchen, about Song Jin-kyung and Lee Ji-woo’s current situation.
“They’ve both improved a lot. It’s not like they did anything bad, and probably because of the medication, a lot of their memories from before they were kidnapped have disappeared, so there doesn’t seem to be any mental aftereffects.”
“Phew… I’m glad.”
‘I’m so glad. There’s a high chance that I won’t be able to do the hunter job, but it might be a good thing.’
Afterwards, we closed the store as always and had a good time.
“How about going to the meeting held by Ilseom and Vision tomorrow morning and requesting information about the hidden dungeon?”
Everyone agreed to JooA’s suggestion.
“You’re not going to give it up easily because you’re being beaten so hard, right?”
“I’ll tell the elder, don’t worry.”
“Yes, Hayun. You should use your strength.”
“Well, then. The approximate grades, the abilities of the monsters, how the boss monsters are managed, and what is the probability of encountering a bunch of swordsmen within them.”
“Distance! Distance to the exit! Points to use as rest areas!”
“Okay. I’ll ask everything.”
We decided to take a break tomorrow, but decided to meet briefly in the afternoon and discuss our future plans again.
I activated mimicry on the way home.
And he told Yeonhee about the amazing experience of going to ‘Abandoned School No. 1’ when he disappeared for a while due to a huge force.
Although Yeonhee listened to the story with interest, she also looked quite serious about the fact that there was someone who dragged me there.
“Well, what if we go even further away… And are taken to a place we don’t even know about? What then? Don’t we have to do something?”
‘I have to do something… What can I do?’
Even if I trained for hundreds or thousands of years, I doubted whether I would be able to have the power of Irmana or Tania.
Probably not.
“If you really think it won’t work… You have to use the last resort.”
“No way?”
At least if he self-destructs, he will return to Yeonhee. If necessary, you can wear earrings.
“Ha… No, that’s not true. You have to cherish your life.”
‘Does someone with only one life worry about me…’
“It’s really the final end… Don’t worry. Should I just take a short walk today and then fly home?”
“Huh? Why, why?”
“Why… I do it because I want to.”
“······ Boy, I’m so embarrassed.”
I gently clasped Yeonhee’s squirming warm hand and calmly walked forward, hoping that I would not encounter any more people like Hyun Woo-seok who would disturb us.
As the two’s pink date continued, a conversation between Hyun Il-hwan and Hyun Woo-seok was in full swing in a space at the headquarters of Ilseom Guild.
“··· That’s how it happened.”
“Ha…”
Hyun Woo-seok openly told Hyun Il-hwan about everything that had happened so far.
“Don’t meet that kid named Heo Min-sol anymore. Don’t even think about it.”
“I was planning on doing that anyway…”
“You ugly guy. How could you do that even if you chose a girl… Tsk – why did my uncle just watch that?”
“······.”
Wooseok didn’t bother to let people know that he had dragged them all the way here.
And Hyun Il-hwan was at a loss as to where to start and how to fix this immature guy.
Unlike his other cousins who were sinister from a young age, Wooseok had a pure and cute side and was a very sincere child.
It was clear that something was twisted and twisted during the period of infrequent meeting after Il Il-il started working as a hunter in earnest.
‘In fact, I vaguely knew, but I pretended not to know… It’s all my fault.’
Part of me was truly regretting it.
“Even if we pass over everything else, that monster. No, it’s hard to believe that Hunter Lee Yeonhee’s summoned creature cut the space with a sword.”
“But Sa, it’s true! Even with these wounds treated by healers and using advanced potions, I have only recovered to this extent.”
“Really? Hmm…”
It was hard not to believe what I heard from other people and seeing Wooseok’s face covered in bandages.
The monster uses a sword technique similar to that used by Ilseom, and imitates the lightning pace. It cuts into space and even provides a healing delay effect?
If you say something like this somewhere, you will be treated like a crazy person.
‘I heard his energy his wasn’t unusual, so maybe I should have watched him a little longer… No. That skill was simply not something Wooseok could handle.’
