The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 122

Episode 122. Siren (2)

Finally, we arrived at Mermaid Pass.

The interior is a fairly familiar sight to me.

Blue water that reaches all the way to the horizon.

The moist air felt on the skin.

At this point, I think it would be okay to bring in an Alpha Urine and let them live there… … .

‘Is this the bottom?’

But strangely enough.

The water here was structured like transparent land on which people could step.

Water is something that cannot be missed.

I was happy about this for nothing.

‘Tsk.’

But whatever.

Now that you’re in the water, it doesn’t matter what you do.

“Huh? Brother, wait a minute. I hear a strange sound… … .”

A few seconds later.

We listened to the noise coming from the north.

This is a treasure trove where unidentified mermaids live.

In other words, it was a space where the siren’s song resonated.

‘hmm.’

Ordinary songs give peace to the mind.

The sounds echoing through this dungeon used to confuse the human brain. Just like now.

“Excuse me, Excuse me. Brother Kiryeo! I know I’m saying something strange right now, but still… I have a strong feeling that there’s someone in that fog that needs help.”

But that’s okay.

Usually, this type of magic changes in strength depending on the distance. If you don’t get too close to the fog, it won’t get much worse.

“How is Mr. Kang Chang-ho?”

“You’re better than the person next to you.”

“But the song does have an influence, right?”

“that’s right.”

I checked the status of the hunters who came with me and said.

“Then I will proceed as I told you before coming in. I am good at withstanding these types of attacks.”

Honestly, this place would have been just an A-class gate if it weren’t for the headache called ‘Siren’.

Even if it’s a bit difficult with just Ahn Yoon-seung.

With an S-class hunter, you don’t have to worry about clearing the gate.

If I just handle Siren well, everything will go smoothly.

“Are you okay alone?”

The owner of the dragon’s eye seems worried that the human skill stone he put his spit on might go wrong.

“It will be safer than going with Hunter Kang.”

“what?”

“I heard that if you are under the [Confusion] status effect from Siren, you may attack your allies.”

When this explanation came out, Kang Chang-ho also quickly became convinced.

Well, now that we’ve reached an agreement, it’s time for me to start doing my part.

‘Damn, why is the fog so thick?’

Swish, swish.

While my team waited at the entrance, I walked beyond the fog from which the sound was coming.

I was scared for a moment because I couldn’t see an inch ahead of me, but that didn’t last long.

Because the owner of the sound was soon discovered.

-Ah~ ahhhh~♩

They produced beautiful harmonies and were, as humans expected, a species related to fish.

-Lalala~… … .

But unlike the mythical beings that resemble beautiful women, they have quite a unique appearance.

Rather than being half-human and half-fish, they are something… … .

90% of it is fish.

“??”

“…?”

“…!”

I looked over at the monsters that looked like fat gobies, and they seemed quite surprised to see the humans that appeared before them and stopped singing.

Pfft pfft.

I was so flustered that I just breathed in air.

And what, as you can see the subsequent actions are… … .

-La, lalala~♬

The sirens began to sing even more passionately, sweating profusely.

Of course, I’m still fine.

No matter how powerful the Siren’s brainwashing was, it was ultimately focused on the primitive Earth.

‘It’s just noise pollution to me.’

And let me make it clear at this point.

Natural creatures that primarily use mental attacks are usually weak in close combat.

No, it’s not to the extent of saying it’s weak, it’s just that it has almost no relevant abilities.

If you were good at physical combat, you could survive without having to use these tricks.

‘Baron Hwawon was exactly that kind of case.’

A typical cowardly evolutionist.

The Sirens showed no intention of fighting even though humans approached them so closely.

Everything was as expected.

-Ah …

Well then, there’s no need to worry about getting hit, now all we have to do is stop their song… … .

But how do we stop this?

“Hey, guys. Can you stop?”

Lara~ La~

“Stop singing.”

Lara~

“Oh my, I can’t say this with those words… Ugh!”

Poke.

I tried to stop them and ended up breaking my wrist.

Even though my opponent is an A-class monster, I’m just a weakling who’s only an F-class.

With a body like this, it’s impossible to even swing a fist at them without causing them a single scratch.

“Ugh… … .”

I held the back of my swollen hand and thought.

Song. How the hell do I stop that damn song?

I briefly considered using [Surprise Box!], but it has more limitations than it looks.

The number of times you can use it per day is at most once or twice.

“Is that really the only way?”

I closed my eyes and thought about it for a while, then took something out of my bosom.

A long dagger with an antique wooden handle.

[Scream stake]

[Rank: Unique]

[Description: Inflicts [Pain] status effect on the target.]

[※Caution: This is a special equipment that cannot inflict physical damage.]

You have the equipment you obtained by defeating the inevitable evil.

A magical tool that maximizes the target’s sense of pain.

Originally, it was a piece of equipment that was meant to be used for torture, not combat… … .

Well, there’s no other way right now.

“hey.”

Twinkle.

I raised the dagger in my hand high.

“I said clearly that I wanted to say it verbally.”

***

-Gaaaaah!

-Gyaaaaaaah… … !

-Eww! Gaaaah!

What is Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo doing now?

The A-class Awakened person who was waiting flinched at the strange sound coming from the other side.

If you listen closely, it sounds like something screaming.

Yes. A loud scream has been coming out of the fog for some time now.

“Brother Kyeryeo?”

And a few minutes later.

Kim Ki-ryeo returned this way, fighting through the fading fog.

Even after he returned, the air still resounded with an unpleasant crying sound.

“The fog hasn’t completely disappeared, perhaps because I’m still breathing.”

“yes?”

“Oh, everyone, grab your gear and follow me.”

Ahn Yoon-seung and Kang Chang-ho followed the man’s call and moved to the center of the fog.

Then, what we soon encountered were monsters in a truly miserable state.

“Keuk, kaaaak… … !”

“Keeek.”

The monsters, presumed to be sirens, were all coughing like shrilly smoke, and this revealed the true nature of what Kiria had done.

“Brother, what on earth have you been doing?”

“torture.”

“yes?”

“If you’re yelling, won’t they be able to sing too?”

As he said that, Kiryun adjusted her grip on the knife in her hand.

The idea was to put in a scream stake right when the Siren seemed about to make even the slightest sound.

“Kkiyaaaaaaaah!”

Phew!

Monsters that fall to their deaths as soon as the torture dagger touches their bodies.

At this point, my throat will be so sore that I won’t be able to sing anymore.

Only after Kim Ki-ryeo had completely neutralized the Sirens did he look back.

“Okay, now that the song has stopped, can we all proceed with the strategy?”

But the response was cold.

Because I froze when I saw the unheard and unseen incident of Ahn Yoon-seung torturing a monster.

“Uh… . H, Hyeong, Gi-ryeo.”

Flap flap.

Yun Seung looked at the monsters writhing in pain and quickly asked a question.

Why did you torture Siren?

Why didn’t you just kill him?

In some ways, these are natural questions.

“… … .”

however.

Here, I had no choice but to yell at Siren, who was an F-class that couldn’t even scratch her.

… it is something that cannot be said honestly.

“that.”

Kiryeo, who had been rolling his eyes, soon spoke in a small voice.

“Why do you think I did that?”

Pass the interpretation on!

It was a typical evasive statement.

“Why do you think my brother did that?”

However, after hearing these words of encouragement, Ahn Yoon-seung began to think seriously.

“Hmm.”

Sirens and screams… … .

Ahn Yoon-seung put his hand on his chin and rolled his head for a while. Then, he looked at Yoon-seung for a moment, trying to calm him down, and then quickly looked away.

I looked down at the siren.

“Come to think of it, what is Siren’s weakness?”

What followed immediately was a brief reflection on monsters.

Actually, it didn’t mean much.

Just like any other hunter, he’s just thinking about how to work more comfortably.

“Is my throat weak after all?”

If you look up to here, these are just ordinary words that any hunter would say.

However, there was one problem with this sight.

Because from the moment I was about to see you, there wasn’t even a hint of movement in that cold face.

‘omg!’

How can you be so calm in front of a writhing creature?

Then, Ahn Yoon-seung had an idea.

Perhaps, Kim Ki-ryeo has been doing this every time he discovers a new monster.

‘…!’

Looking back, Kim Ki-ryeo knew too much about golems.

The golem has a weak heart connection. If you shine a laser at it for a few seconds, it will stop.

These were all weaknesses that could never be discovered through normal hunting.

‘ah!’

So, Kim Ki-ryeo must have tried various things to find out information about the monster before.

Only when you start with this premise can you understand the current situation.

If it was an S-class, it would definitely be able to kill these types of mobs easily, but Kim Ki-ryeo used the scream stake to provoke the opponent…

‘Was this the process of obtaining information?’

experiment.

Yes. Kim Ki-ryeo is currently conducting experiments on monsters.

Not just hunting. Trying out different things like that to observe the opponent’s reactions.

‘To analyze the enemy a little more.’

In a time of great upheaval where others struggle to survive, this person has been using his enemies as test subjects.

Yun Seung was deeply impressed.

But on the other hand, I didn’t even dare to follow this secret.

“Keeek, kek kek.”

At this point, when the S-class gates are not open, these A-class monsters are actually the most dangerous.

But Kim Ki-ryeo treats these monsters like mere guinea pigs.

‘As expected, you are my brother.’

Curiosity.

Absolute skill.

And a little bit of… coolness.

Ahn Yoon-seung carefully considered the qualities needed to study monsters and came to a conclusion.

I felt once again that Kim Ki-ryeo was an extraordinary hunter.

“Huh? You were just trying to sing again?”

“Ghhhhhhh!”

Phew!

Of course, it’s a little scary to see Siren being treated so mercilessly… … .

“Hmm.”

Let’s pretend we don’t know this much.

Because the more fearful someone is, the stronger they become when they become an ally.

‘Ha, anyway, I’m glad my brother is on our side.’

Ahn Yoon-seung quietly collected his thoughts.

Then same time.

What is the main character in this speculation doing?

‘what.’

one side.

Kim Ki-ryeo, who was dealing with Siren with Kang Chang-ho’s help, kept looking back.

That’s because Ahn Yoon-seung suddenly became silent.

‘Why won’t you answer me? If you say something, I’ll make excuses or not!’

Kim Ki-ryeo was still waiting for an answer to the question he had asked earlier, ‘Why do you think I did that?’

But no matter how long I waited, Yoon Seung remained silent.

Because the opponent didn’t bother to reveal his own light guesses.

‘What on earth are you imagining right now? Dude, I’m feeling anxious, so I wish you’d just tell me what you’re thinking… … .’

So, I fought against the unrealistic fear, thinking of tens of thousands of possible scenarios.
