The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 14

Episode 14. The White Labyrinth (2)

2 S-class and 1 F-class.

It’s clear who will be the poor sacrificial lamb.

‘It’s ruined?’

While I prepare for death.

The S-class hunters still had an ominous atmosphere.

“What’s different about me? I have the same risks. And I’ve already sacrificed myself twice.”

“What about Kim Ki-ryeon? There’s another hunter over there. Why don’t you ask him?”

“There are two S-class hunters, so you want to pass the responsibilities on to an F-class?”

Jeong Ha-seong raised the red sword he was holding.

He acted as if he was going to forcibly drain your blood if you didn’t cooperate.

I don’t know what that person’s swordsmanship skills are, but it wouldn’t be good for him to get involved in a fight with an S-class hunter.

‘Please don’t pay attention to this side.’

I was afraid that sparks would fly, so I slowly backed away.

But that was the moment.

-Grrrrrrr… … .

The growl of a beast filling the hall.

The S-class hunters who heard this stopped talking and simultaneously rolled their eyes, and unfortunately, their gaze stopped in the direction where I was standing.

If that’s the case, then this beast is behind me.

‘No, wait a minute.’

I forced myself to turn my neck, which was not turning well due to the tension. Then, the sight I most did not want to see unfolded before my eyes.

‘Wasn’t there no enemy here?’

Eight black wolves whose bodies are made of shadows.

… It’s a monster. A monster appeared from an empty wall.

-Awww!

The leader of the black wolf pack howled loudly into the air.

It was as if the new black wolves were calling out to their comrades, and they spread out widely, turning the room, which was filled with nothing but pure white light, black.

Why did a monster suddenly appear?

“The lion’s eyes are shining.”

In the midst of the confusion, Jeong Ha-seong gave his answer. Among them, he was the one with the most experience in conquering gates.

“It seems to be a system where if you don’t sacrifice blood for a certain period of time, a monster wave occurs.”

If you hesitate to choose a scapegoat, I’ll push you from behind. Is this it!

There was no time to swear. Then a group of black wolves appeared and charged toward us.

Their teeth and claws are hardened with a cold magical power, so they can easily cut through Kim Ki-ryeo’s delicate fat layer.

‘Eww!’

When people are so surprised, they don’t even scream.

I held my breath and walked quickly to avoid the black wolf.

‘When will I be able to walk away from the wolf?’

But because of Kim Ki-ryeo’s legs that couldn’t run, there was no way to escape… … .

I tried not to look at it, but a black wolf had already caught up with me.

Is it now just a matter of being torn to pieces?

‘I was curious about the structure of the human body, but I never said I wanted to see it in person… …!’

I closed my eyes tightly, not having the confidence to face the upcoming dissolution show.

But the fear was short-lived.

-Whoooosh!

“Ugh?”

A red light flashes past my thin eyelids for a moment.

At the same time, I felt a tingling heat on my skin.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a fierce flame burning the monster.

‘Fire? A flame in the empty space?’

I thought back to the situation I had experienced at the entrance of the dungeon.

By the way, there was a wizard who used fire magic on a door that wouldn’t open.

“… please step back.”

Jeong Ha-seong!

He readied his sword and strode forward. He then took the lead and began to strike down the Black Wolf as if he was protecting me.

The monster’s neck falls one after another from the powerful sword strike that resembles a rushing wave.

Moreover, this person is not restricted by the scope of attack, which is a chronic problem of inspection.

‘This is the magic of a primitive sorcerer?’

Hurrrrr!

The surrounding area was filled with flames once again due to the awakening skill used by Jeong Ha-seong.

It’s amazing that this much firepower can be unleashed in an instant.

I thought as I watched Jeong Ha-seong handling the flames.

‘At this point, I guess we can’t just ignore him as a primitive sorcerer?’

And it wasn’t just Jeong Ha-seong. I had momentarily forgotten because I was so drawn to the splendid flames, but there was one more top-tier Awakened person here.

“hmm.”

Kang Chang-ho.

He watched the situation from his seat even as the monsters appeared, and only made a move after a black wolf rushed at him.

He took his hand out of his pocket and struck the black wolf’s long snout from top to bottom.

Then, the head of the black wolf that had been hit by the punch exploded without even leaving a trace.

“Looking at your soft body, you must be a C-class demon.”

Tremendous strength… … .

Is Kang Chang-ho’s awakening skill a physical strengthening skill?

‘Huh? Even if we get our magic back, it seems like conquering Earth would be a bit difficult?’

When I came to my senses, I saw that S-class hunters were slaughtering the monsters around me in an instant.

My face turned pale.

What is comforting in the midst of all this is that both Jeong Ha-seong and Kang Chang-ho seem to only be using the first type of ability they initially awakened… … .

Does it matter whether there is one or two attributes now?

I’m using 0 attributes?

‘What the hell.’

Don’t talk back to S-class hunters until you get your magic back.

I made up my mind. It was the next thing that Kang Chang-ho said.

“Because there’s a time limit.”

Kang Chang-ho lightly brushed away the remains of the black wolf on his arm and walked away.

The place he headed to was none other than the lion statue.

Then, without anyone being able to stop him, Kang Chang-ho put his arm into the lion statue and offered it as a sacrifice.

-Kugugugu… … .

A lion statue opens the door, satisfied after drinking Kang Chang-ho’s blood.

“If there’s a trap that causes monsters to pop out, then there’s nothing we can do.”

I didn’t know you would cooperate so easily.

‘I won’t have my back broken in an S-class fight!’

Jeong Ha-seong’s expression also softened as a result of his actions. It was the moment when a dramatic peace treaty was signed.

“Who will be next?”

“We take turns opening the doors. I don’t know if F-class can handle it.”

And through all this, I got to know the humanity of the person named Jeong Ha-seong.

‘Jung Ha-seong Hunter… … .’

When he found out that I was an F-class, he was the first to exclude me from the list of sacrifices, and he also protected me when the monster appeared.

Jeong Ha-seong stood on the side of the weak so thoroughly that it made one think that he was truly a national hero.

‘Thanks to you, I’m moving forward without shedding a single drop of blood, but I feel a little sorry at this point.’

The fifth room in a row.

After offering the sacrifice, I looked at Jeong Ha-seong, who was staggering from anemia, with a surprised look.

“Mr. Jeong Ha-seong, are you okay?”

But he quickly changed his expression and spoke coldly.

“These sudden gates are usually small in size. You won’t be far from the exit.”

The person who already had white skin has now turned pale.

I was worried that Jeong Ha-seong might collapse, so I kept my eyes fixed on him as I walked. So, I didn’t even notice that the man in front had stopped.

“hmm?”

This time it’s Kang Chang-ho’s turn to open the door.

But he didn’t take action and just stared blankly at Jeong Ha-seong who followed him in.

“Jeong Ha-seong.”

I guess you have something to say.

“Let’s stop for a moment.”

“Why?”

“Come to think of it, there’s no certainty that there’s an exit beyond here. Both you and I are starting to feel the strain on our bodies.”

“… … .”

“Maybe we should check the room we passed by for a moment, in case there are any clues we missed.”

It seems like a reasonable suggestion.

However, Jeong Ha-seong’s response upon returning was cold.

“Going back is just an excuse, aren’t you actually just trying to buy time?”

“What do you see in people?”

“The only standard way to clear an EX-class gate is to follow the given conditions. You probably don’t know that either.”

And at that moment, a name I had heard somewhere came out of Jeong Ha-seong’s mouth.

“I wonder if you’re thinking of creating a monster wave and hitting me in the midst of chaos. Like when you were the last one.”

The number one ranked hunter raised his head clearly as if he had never been staggered before.

“Isn’t your mindset that it’s better for everyone to die than to suffer a loss?”

“Jeong Ha-seong.”

“I can never trust you, and I don’t have time to be held back by this gate. I’m busy right now… … .”

He expressed his opinion in a voice as sharp as the blade hanging from his waist.

“I won’t make much of a statement. Just open the door.”

What if we really fight like this?

I rolled my eyes busily between them.

however…….

“okay.”

This is also unexpected.

Kang Chang-ho remained silent for a moment at those words, then lightly raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.

“I’ll open it right away, so don’t make me stand there like that.”

Surprisingly, this person had a personality that was easily broken.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t help with the raid just now. And there’s some misunderstanding between us.”

“What misunderstanding?”

“Choi Jin-il was an accident. I’m not a crazy guy who attacks fellow hunters without thinking.”

His calm explanation continued.

“Of course, it’s true that you have a criminal record, so I understand that you don’t trust me. Jeong Ha-seong, you’re being too wary of me right now.”

“that….”

“So you want to get out of here quickly and aren’t you making hasty choices?”

“… … .”

“Think seriously about what I said earlier. I think it would be better for you to go back at least once.”

“All right.”

“Just open the door.”

Then Kang Chang-ho turned around and put his arm into the lion’s mouth.

The room vibrated with a click, the door unlocking.

‘Rumors aren’t to be trusted after all.’

You seem like a person with common sense.

But at that moment.

I opened my eyes wide when I saw Kang Chang-ho. Jeong Ha-seong was also surprised.

“this……!”

“Mr. Kang Chang-ho!”

Kang Chang-ho half-collapsed as he placed his hand on the lion statue.

He seemed to feel dizzy like Jeong Ha-seong, and soon began to breathe roughly and speak.

“Don’t worry. I brought some restorative medicine.”

Now that I hear that, I can see it. Kang Chang-ho has a hip bag hanging from his waist. That small bag probably contains medicine.

“After drinking it, I think I’ll be able to open the door twice more.”

He struggled to his feet, leaning on his knees.

Jeong Ha-seong looked at the sight, thought for a moment, then turned around and took the lead, speaking.

“If we still can’t see the exit in the next room, we’ll look for another way.”

I walked slightly behind Jeong Ha-seong, thinking that I might need to support Kang Chang-ho.

Kang Chang-ho, who was standing next to me, seemed to be rummaging through his bag and taking out a small glass bottle.

‘Is that a cure?’

But I was shocked when I saw how the Earthlings used the medicine right after.

-Chaenggang!

Kang Chang-ho swung the potion bottle he was holding at Jeong Ha-seong’s head, shattering it into pieces.

The liquid that flowed out of the broken bottle vaporized instantly into the air.

Jeong Ha-seong, who was attacked, turned around belatedly, but was already exposed to the drug.

“Huh!”

Then, Jeong Ha-seong’s eyes turn white and he falls down.

Paralysis? Sleep? I don’t know exactly what the effect is.

“Ah, it works well even for S-class.”

First of all, I know that that kind of thing isn’t a cure-all.
