Episode 61. FLUKE (3)
I reluctantly picked up the item that was floating around.
Honestly, I still don’t know what’s going on.
‘Oh, by the way, what’s going on with Seung-yi?’
He absentmindedly turned his head toward the passageway.
Then I made eye contact with a few people.
“…!”
An Yun-seung and the attackers held their breath and stared at this side.
***
It looks comical from a distance.
A tragedy when seen up close.
Even if it’s the same incident, if you look at it from a different perspective, it looks completely different.
“… .”
That is why this situation is nothing more than a so-called ‘lucky thing’.
To some observers it came across quite differently.
‘The boss… … .’
Ahn Yoon-seung was thrilled.
By the time Kiria caught Grid’s attention, it was certain that his discipline would be broken as well.
“her.”
It’s a truly sophisticated way of hunting.
Instantly detects the grid’s weaknesses.
After naturally inducing the monster’s balance to collapse.
He struck with such precision at that moment.
‘and…….’
I can’t help but be amazed.
It was truly a tremendous feat.
I turned my head without noticing the boss’s roar, and I almost missed that great moment.
Ahn Yoon-seung thought back over the scene he had just seen.
A sharp sliding kick.
The boss’s subsequent fall.
To his eyes, the series of events appeared to be a thoroughly calculated affair.
‘You don’t need any skills to deal with monsters like that?’
Even an A-class boss is nothing more than a foolish beast in the hands of that Awakened One.
The man who had strangled the boss slowly got up.
Ahn Yoon-seung was so absorbed in his skills that he even forgot about fighting.
Of course, this side was equally shocked.
‘What the heck! This is ridiculous. Grid with your bare body?’
In the brief moment that I took my eyes off the boss, he was defeated. He even lost the item he was aiming for.
The believers of Nachasa Temple were shocked beyond Ahn Yun-seung.
But the person involved in the incident still had an emotionless face.
“hmm.”
Reward for killing Grid. Unidentified blue core.
He rolled it around in his hands for a while, then shouted out loud.
“An Yoon-seung!”
The dungeon master is dead.
Thanks to this, a new exit was created in this room.
Then why bother dealing with those psychos? Just run away.
“Run this way!”
Kim Ki-ryeo gestured in front of the gate. It was a signal to step back.
But the ice wizard did not let them go easily.
‘no!’
We must recapture the core!
The phantom cast its skill in a hurry.
Up until now, I’ve been pacing myself for battle, but now it’s game over.
Phew.
He gathered all the mana in his body.
The skill to use is [Frost Storm].
It was a powerful technique that caused a chain of cold explosions when the ice spike hit the target, freezing the entire area.
Suddenly.
Fierce magical power gathers at one point in the air.
Ahn Yoon-seung also quickly approached the gate exit, but the magic would probably activate faster than his escape.
“Ugh.”
“Tongue, bro! Behind me… …!”
Yun Seung-do must have sensed something and hurriedly raised his shield, but someone stopped him.
It was Kim Ki-ryeo himself.
“brother?”

Whoosh! Just as the completed ice wedge flies in.
He took something out of his pocket and held it out in front of him.
That’s none other than that.
“I didn’t want to write this.”
A small hand mirror… … ?
“uh?”
Twinkle.
When it seemed as if the edge of the ice had touched the glass of the mirror.
I blinked my eyes twice and the scenery of the world had changed.
How did this happen?
Clearly, the magic was directed at them just now.
-bang!
Suddenly, the head of the ice wedge turned in the opposite direction, as if reflected in a mirror.
“Huh, ugh… … .”
There was no way to escape.
The caster, suddenly caught in a frost storm, was quickly frozen along with his companions.
At this point, a forgotten tool appears.
‘Tsk, as expected, the actual test was a success.’
The exact same item I bought at the Hunter Market. A reflector.
[reflector]
[Effect: For attacks of E-rank or lower, returns light attribute magic to the caster.]
Originally, it was a piece of junk with such insignificant abilities, but Kiryeo ended up modifying it based on his outstanding knowledge.
[reflector]
[Effect: For attacks of Class A or lower, reverses the direction of magic.]
Any magic that touches it is reflected regardless of its attribute. What kind of fraudulent item is this?
But if you look at it closely, there were many loopholes.
First of all, the magic must have a clear direction.
You have to aim your attack at this small hand mirror.
‘It’s very likely to become useless if you’re not careful. If the opposing wizard just changes the range so that the magic isn’t reflected, it’s over.’
Since the original is a low-grade magic tool, its durability isn’t all that great.
“Oh my, this is so.”
Damn.
Meanwhile, the glass of the reflector split into three pieces.
He looked down at the broken magic tool with bitterness.
“Anyway, let’s go out.”
And after that, I belatedly took care of my companion, but Ahn Yoon-seung’s expression was a bit strange.
“older brother……!”
The A-class hunter’s eyes were wide.
Because I was very impressed by the other person’s actions.
You tried to avoid the fight like that, but when your younger brother was in danger, you suddenly showed your power… … .
Moreover, that skill of turning back onto the enemy a skill that even he, who had awakened to an A-class defense system, wasn’t sure if he could block or not!
Indeed, he is a great person.
‘If it’s character, it’s character. If it’s skill, it’s skill.’
Evaluation of Kim Ki-ryeo was gradually turning into a worshipful one.
Of course, the parties involved have no way of knowing this.
He didn’t pay much attention to Yoon Seung, who was immersed in emotion, and quietly left the gate.
“phew.”
As we leave the hellish golden scent behind, our cell phones finally receive signals.
“I wonder how many times the police have visited me this year.”
“Gate crime, you should call the association. I will contact you right away!”
They filed a report right away.
Soon after, several employees left the association.
The terrorists left at the gate were arrested in an emergency situation while still frozen.
‘Ice wizards are born with high cold resistance. Even if they look like that, they probably aren’t dead.’
Instead of interrogating him, just torture him.
He poured curses on the back of the heads of the criminals being dragged away and returned to where Ahn Yoon-seung was standing.
It seemed like the incident was finally over.
4pm.
Korea Hunter Association Headquarters.
“Hmm.”
A woman with long hair paced the hallway anxiously.
“When will we hear further news?”
She was none other than Seon Woo-yeon.
If you ask me why I’m so restless, it’s because I just received a report of a stealing crime.
“I wonder if there was a problem with the suppression team… … .”
This hunter with the [Searcher] skill was on standby to prevent any escape of criminals.
But at that time.
Wheeing.
The automatic door at the end of the hallway opened, and a man walked out.
“ah.”
Brightly colored hair. And those snake-like eyes. Doesn’t that look familiar?
“Welcome, Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.”
If you see each other this often, even an ugly face will start to grow on you.
Seonwooyeon greeted him warmly. And as always, he asked a simple question.
“Are you here to see the work?”
“No. I was caught.”
Looking closely, this is an F-class hunter. He’s wearing something on his wrist.
It’s a pair of handcuffs.
“Then, thank you for your hard work.”
Kim Ki-ryeo was taken to the basement of the association, muttering with empty eyes.
… it is a puzzling sight.
***
hungry.
Why, in dramas and such, in situations like this, the detectives would order you some seolleongtang.
‘Can’t I have some food too?’
Association building, basement level 1.
I was forcibly dragged into a room without windows, and I sat down on the sofa, feeling half-annoyed.
This is all Ahn Yoon-seung’s fault.
‘Damn it!’
When informing the association staff of the circumstances of the incident.
Because Ahn Yoon-seung made a slight slip of the tongue.
-Hunters. By the way, is the exit open?
-Oh, yes.
-Who caught the boss?
-That’s right, brother… … .
Although they tried to fix it late, the result is as you can see.
The association people arrested me in an instant as if they had caught me.
Failure to report gate entry.
Ignore grade restriction rules.
Unauthorized hunting.
This time, there are a whopping three charges.
‘I’m screwed!’
The first two can be resolved with a fine, but the last one is the problem.
If I was not careful, I could end up in jail. I defended myself as best I could.
“To sum up, you are just a transporter and all the monsters in Hwanggeumhyang were caught by Ahn Yoon-seung?”
“yes!”
“Is it really just a mistake that I missed the admission report?”
“of course!”
And did this earnestness work?
A little later.
The association staff had reluctant expressions on their faces but had no choice but to let me go.
F-class hunting A-class boss?
Because no one could prove such a ridiculous charge.
‘Thank you, Seonwooyeon!’
In particular, the results of the awakening re-examination conducted previously were very helpful.
Thanks to that, I was released with only a warning for failing to report my gate entry.
‘Hahaha! I’m free.’
Jjalgrang.
With the handcuffs freed, I walk down the hallway with light steps.
Finally, all the investigations are over.
Now all that’s left is to sell the cores you’ve collected in your item box and become rich!
“uh.”
But then a moment.
A cold sweat ran down my spine.
‘for a moment.’
Suddenly I felt like, “Oh no.”
Come to think of it… … .
In Korea, when buying or selling gated goods, you must use the national exchange.
They say it’s set by law because of tax issues. I’m an alien so I don’t know the details.
But one thing is certain: a rough record of the transaction is left at this time.
“… .”
Up until now, it’s no use selling high-grade materials even if you’re an F-class.
There wasn’t really anything special going on at the exchange.
‘I’m currently under suspicion that I’ve touched a monster in the Golden Fragrance, and what if I trade a bunch of Nosim?’
this.
‘100% sure.’
And of course.
Ahn Yoon-seung, whose investigation had ended around the same time as mine, contacted me right away.
-Brother, I said that I defeated all the golems. The investigators asked where the hunting evidence was, and then they started talking about a tax investigation…
Yeah, that’s right.
“I’ll take it now….”
Stop.
After the call ended.
I swallowed my tears silently.
‘My money… … .’
To conclude, the golem material eventually found its master.
It was karma.
***
Thursday morning.
“Mr. Yoon Seung.”
“Ah, senior!”
Ahn Yoon-seung ran into a familiar face near the association.
This is Seonwooyeon Hunter.
“Are you coming out of the exchange?”
“Yes, yes! I’m selling some golem parts.”
If it were normal, we would have ended our greetings here.
However, Seon Woo-yeon called the other person over as if he had something to say.
“If it’s a golem, then the golden scent from yesterday… …?”
“why?”
“Well, I have a question.”
Her tone was cautious.
“So Grid was killed by Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo?”
As soon as those words came out, Yoon Seung froze stiffly and couldn’t open his mouth. Anyone could tell that he was a person with a weak point.
“Oh my.”
“I, I, I didn’t say anything… .”
“You don’t have to be so nervous. If someone saw you, they’d think you were going to eat them.”
At this, Seonwooyeon let out a short sigh.
This guy Kim Ki-ryeo. He managed to kill a class A boss.
“Be careful on your way there.”
“Ugh.”
“Do you know that there are already various rumors going around among the employees?”
In fact, Kim Ki-ryeo was accumulating another karma in real time.
Because of this Golden Fragrance incident, the Hunter Association finally started to keep an eye on the Awakened One named Kim Ki-ryeo.
Even though it may have ended with a minor punishment now.
That record of not reporting gate entry later became the trigger for the controversial press conference.
“This is really your last warning. Don’t get caught trying to sneak an F-class to the higher gate again.”
If I had followed Seonwooyeon’s advice, it wouldn’t have gotten to that point…
She thought for a moment.
‘Anyway, that guy Kim Ki-ryeo is the biggest problem. Since he has the skills, even Ahn Yoon-seung can enter the A-class gate without any worries.’
If Kim Ki-ryeo was truly an F-class, he would have stopped the illegal stance at least out of concern for Ahn Yoon-seung.
It won’t work. Let me say this again.
“Where are you calling from all of a sudden?”
“To your porter.”
Whoosh.
Seonwooyeon took out her cell phone and called someone.
but.
[The phone is off, so use the voicemail… … .]
The call simply went to voicemail.
I feel a bit uneasy.
“Why are you like that? Aren’t you accepting it?”
“I think you turned off your phone.”
But it can’t be helped since the person involved in the incident has disappeared.
Eventually, they ended the conversation without any further discussion.
