The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 209

Episode 209. Give Me Back My Husband

“Make a road here!

Build a road made of corpses!

The day when the end of the road reaches the altar.

I will gladly return what you have lost.

Blessed offering

Offer it up.

Then the one who is about to die will return to you.

An uninhabited island in the Aegean Sea.

On that land, which was too barren for human habitation and seemed more like a large reef than an island, there was a gate like this.

The White Maze. Or, the interior structure with a marble altar at the end of a corridor dyed entirely in white, like the entrance to a fairy kingdom.

This was a special type of dungeon where no monsters appeared.

“Sacrifice… … .”

But this place was clearly Greek territorial waters.

Oddly enough, there was some kind of command written in Slavic on the altar in the dungeon.

If you build a path with corpses, the dead will return to you.

“A ‘blessed’ offering?”

Beast has always liked EX-level dungeons.

It’s not as thrilling as catching a giant like Nuckelabi, but it has its own charm as a puzzle game.

At first, she thoughtlessly picked up something that looked like a wild animal corpse and placed it in the dungeon.

But nothing changed.

Next, they dug up the graveyard of an unknown country and built a road with human corpses.

However, the dungeon did not change.

“What on earth is a blessing?”

Should we kidnap the Pope and make him pray to his corpse?

By the time he had that thought, Beast had finally found a clue to solve the mystery of this place.

-Sparkle!

Just in case, he cut off a segment of his little finger and left it in the hallway.

Bam.

The dungeon seemed to be the right answer this time. Her body tissue had created a red and elegant ‘path’ where it had fallen.

***

Again, the time returns to the present.

Beast, whose identity was revealed, held his trademark bone mask in his hand and thought for a long time.

What should we do going forward?

And how did that Asian guy find out my identity?

At this time, Kiryeo spoke to the Beast, who was standing still, through the translator.

Actually, I wasn’t even curious about the other person’s answer, but I had no choice but to waste time.

“I’ll tell you up front, I have no intention of revealing your identity, Brooklyn.”

“… … .”

“But I’m asking this just in case… … . Why on earth did you do this to Jeong Ha-seong? What was the reason? Did Ha-seong commit some kind of big rude act in the past?”

He asked the question, trying to remain friendly, as if he were gambling.

Then the Beast tilted his head to one side and said.

“Dungeons are mysterious.”

The conversation, which began with a somewhat unexpected sentence, soon led to an explanation of the culprit behind the incident.

A mysterious EX-class gate discovered while traveling alone around the world.

Brooklyn reveals quite frankly that this happened while he was collecting the corpses of the Awakened under orders there… … .

“If you’re a hunter, you know that dungeons don’t lie to us at least.”

There was a time when I wished to return to a time without magic.

Brooklyn encounters an unidentified dungeon and realizes at that moment that there is a possibility that she may be able to get her husband back.

It wasn’t that he wanted to go back to the time before Dungeon Shock happened, he just missed his daily life with his spouse.

Rather than continuing to live in pain like this, I wish I could go back to the distant past when I didn’t know happiness…

“There is a gate that says it will return the dead?”

However, the fourth S-class in Korea reacts negatively as soon as he hears Beast’s story.

“No, wait. Mr. Brooklyn. Listen to me. You’ve been scammed.”

“fraud?”

“I know, I’ve been in that exact same situation. It’s true!”

The alien standing here was a great wizard who had analyzed the soul of a person before.

Thanks to that, he knew how absurd a vow it was to bring back the dead.

In the midst of all this, as Brooklyn’s explanation continued, I suddenly realized something.

That EX-class gate is a trap set up to toy with the human mind.

If you think about it, the text of the altar she described never borrowed the explicit word ‘revival’.

‘Perhaps the reward there is at best a strange creature created based on the raider’s memories.’

Moreover, this method of the core bodies has already been attempted in Alphauri.

If you work hard to complete the mission given in the food box, you will be rewarded with something like a twisted nether golem, just like I said earlier.

A feeling of despair that all efforts have been in vain.

And the sadness that his own choice had caused him to hand over his memories of the one he loved to such a pathetic monster.

Of course, from the perspective of the psychic body that doesn’t understand deception well, it wasn’t that they were intentionally trying to deceive, but they just used this method and extracted enough energy to create a food box through convergent evolution.

In any case, the truth remains that this is a trap set by aliens to prey on negative emotions.

But why did the Beast get caught up in something like that?

“I can guarantee you that what comes back from there is absolutely not the person you knew! The gate will just read your memories, make you a crude doll, and be done with it.”

But the response that came back was amazing.

“Oh, I see.”

“yes!”

“But that doesn’t matter to me.”

Stop.

Kim Ki-ryeo doubted his ears when he heard the sound coming from the other side.

But even if you calm down and try to talk again, the other person’s answer remains the same.

“I don’t mind that form. Even if it’s a machine that clumsily imitates a dead person, I like it.”

“her?”

“Not everything in this world has to be real. After all, I just want to repeat the things that happened in the past.”

I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about, but are you saying you’d harm people just to get a doll or something?

“No, then why don’t you just pick up any random corpse from a graveyard or something and offer it up instead of insisting on Jeong Ha-seong… .”

He is puzzled by Brooklyn’s attitude and questions him.

But the woman standing in front of him, with her hair cut short, just laughs loudly while sweeping her scalp.

“Hahaha. Graveyard. I’ve thought about that too, but it seems like the body of an Awakened One is harder to find than I thought.”

I hate myself for agreeing with this kind of talk.

He closed his eyes tightly and suppressed his emotions. In the meantime, the American hunter continued talking.

“… And, the word ‘blessed’ written on that EX-class gate also included the meaning of ‘fresh’, so dead corpses that had been dead for a long time were not considered as materials for the path.”

“Brooklyn.”

“So in the end, I ended up killing the Awakened and supplying corpses as the most comfortable Beast… … .”

“… … .”

“Actually, even if it hadn’t been for that altar, I somehow had a feeling that a day like this would come someday.”

She muttered without changing her expression. There were also remarks that were difficult to understand from a third party’s perspective.

“I killed people. Quite a few Awakened ones, to be exact.”

“Yes.”

“But I don’t feel guilty about it. Who cares? After all, people with superpowers always do magic as they please. So I guess I can do it once in a while.”

“yes?”

“With machine guns randomly thrown into people’s hands, do you really expect that no accidents will occur?”

“that….”

“This is what mana is like. That’s why I find this mystery awkward. As you can see, with the emergence of superpowered beings, the world has become even more shitty.”

Instead of whining about just a few, you should be thankful that I didn’t kill every Awakened I saw.

Brooklyn spits out words of sorcerer disgust in a harsh voice.

He had an expression on his face that seemed like he had a lot to say, but he couldn’t open his mouth. He hadn’t regained his prime skills yet, so he didn’t have the strength to arbitrarily refute other people’s opinions.

“anyway.”

And at this time, after only about 3 minutes of someone’s delay.

“Personally, I am sad about this incident. To be honest, I didn’t want to bother someone who works as hard as Mr. Jeong.”

“Then let me see.”

“But now it is not long before we receive the gift. The path is all filled, and the altar will be finished once we offer the last thing it asks for, the ‘Most Blessed Corpse.’”

Brooklyn drops the beast mask he was holding onto the floor.

And then she started to look at the man in front of her with a strange gaze.

“But why did Korean S-ranks come to this dungeon? It’s such a shame, especially you.”

“What a waste?”

“I had my eye on you as a candidate for the Beast.”

The blond man pauses for a moment at those words.

“A superpowered person whose lineage is unknown, and who is known to be extremely strong. Oh… Isn’t that a good condition?”

As the saying goes, Brooklyn Morgan has been keeping an eye on the utility of a hunter named Kim Ki-ryeo for a long time.

He was a target who could turn the tables on Beast if he did well.

179cm.

Eye level equal to your own height without wearing high heels.

Similar body type. Sophisticated silhouette. Mysticism.

And, in terms of registered computer records, he was still the highest-ranking awakened person.

“The time when the S-class gate was created in Japan was the busiest time in my life. The guild demanded a lot from me.”

“… .”

“So, I just happened to take a break from Beast activities. When I saw you participating in the strategy, an idea suddenly came to me. Actually, I used to pretend not to know English while doing this role-playing for fun. So it wasn’t impossible to put forward a Korean Beast.”

Of course, even if you use such a shallow method, there will be no exception if you get caught up in the British treasure called Justitia.

Brooklyn just wanted to keep things flowing smoothly without causing any problems.

They intentionally target the time when Koreans are sleeping and are active.

Learn the [Binding] skill for future crafts.

Perhaps they were content to spread rumors that Kim Ki-ryeo might be a member of Beast.

But today’s encounter completely ruined that plan.

Kim Ki-ryeo and Beast.

They shouldn’t be in the same place, but today they came face to face.

“Besides, you were so opaque in your past that you were a really good candidate for the Beast.”

They tried to create a fake Nuckelabi killer.

So that’s why you hesitated and didn’t attack me at first!

He understood the series of circumstances that were unfolding. And at this moment, Brooklyn drew up his body’s magical power and cast a spell…

“hmm.”

Swish.

With her simple gestures, her pale skin returns to normal.

A golden bob cut with a modern twist. And arched, defined eyebrows.

Brooklyn perfectly regenerated the burns on my face and the hair I had removed with a single gesture, and Kiryi immediately realized the secret of her birth technique.

‘The process is crude!’

The power to achieve whatever one desires without any proper medical knowledge.

Yes, in fact, that is an act that could be called magic.

The moment Brooklyn saw her husband’s body, she realized she wanted to bring him back and used the body-restoring technique.

A longing that has taken root in my head because I have suppressed my violent personality my entire life.

That is, the longing for freedom led to the acquisition of spatial movement.

Whether it’s physical recovery or spatial manipulation.

Unfortunately, Brooklyn’s awakening series all had a tendency to be overly consumptive, which came at a high price.

Moreover, because she omitted all the principles that should have been taken into account, that is, because she performed the miracle with absolutely no knowledge of magic, the side effects that followed were even more severe.

No matter what skill I used, the magical power consumed was twice as much as others.

In particular, if the healing technique is used on a part of your body other than your own, which is under your proper control, it can cause serious aftereffects by attaching the wound incorrectly.

“Since I already found out, I don’t want to be like this in front of you.”

A waste of fuel. And individualistic magics that cannot be utilized in a sacrificial way.

But ironically, this sorcerer hater was one of the most beloved figures in the world by Mana.

Her awakening level is slightly higher than that of Jeong Ha-seong.

[World Hunter Ranking]

[1. Brooklyn Morgan]

Yes, this ranking was a table that lined up the ‘magic power’ of the hunters revealed to the world.

So she could handle all these problems.

Like thousands of tons of water trapped in a dam, there was a source of miracles within her body that needed no purification.

“-But since you’ve been engaging in such boring conversations up until now, if it’s okay with you, would you mind answering a few of my questions as a way of showing your appreciation?”

Iron grumble.

Brooklyn spoke to the man, holding his real equipment, the Battle Axe, rather than the external rapier, in both hands.

“What on earth did you do in the past?”

“… … .”

“How could you not even follow my axe-chopping with your eyes, and yet know the identity of the Beast?”

“… … .”

“Giryo. What is your awakening attribute? Is it telekinesis? If so, can I use that binding that you used in Japan again now?”

But that was the extent of the conversation.

Then Brooklyn began to whisper rapidly in a low, thick voice, as if something had been ‘switched’ on.

“No, no. That’s enough. It’s not even worth listening to now… … . Let’s just kill that thing and put it on the altar.”

“Brooklyn?”

“If you do that, it will be immediately revealed whether you are an S-class or a fraud.”

What followed was the cracking sound of an axe splitting a ripe watermelon.

“You f*cking Asian. Who wouldn’t know that you’re waiting for Ghang’s support!”

Bam!

Immediately afterwards, an American S-class hunter turns into a hungry beast and charges with his weapon drawn.

And of course, there was no way for F-Class to avoid this.
