The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 224

Episode 224. The Thorn Forest (2)

Why are you so surprised?

Kwajik!

The monster that was hit by the thrown shield died screaming. I fixed my gaze on the black debris dropped by the dead monster that I was trying to kill.

“Brother! Are you okay?!”

First of all, I can understand why Ahn Yoon-seung keeps grabbing my hand and trying to check something.

A palm that appears clean on the outside without a single scratch.

But there was some kind of magic engraved in the protruding thorns of that flying tree.

‘It’s similar to a scream stake. This one [inflicts pain].’

Giant trees dot the streets.

And the weapon of these flying creatures, small and plant-like in size, was none other than the pain stimulation of living organisms.

When an enemy comes within a certain range, the thorns engraved with [Pain Infliction] are quickly extended and forcefully contacted with the target.

“are you okay.”

“It’s okay! If that happened, it would’ve hurt so much! Oh my, my brother, who protects me even though I’m so useless…!”

But what the alien was curious about was the bodily fluid that Ahn Yoon-seung was shedding.

Even though he wasn’t the one who was attacked, he started making a fuss and shedding tears like a stag with twisted legs.

I’ve thought about this for a long time, but these planets are really sensitive to injuries to their own kind.

Some people feel disgusted at the sight of the torn flesh, while sages like Ahn Yun-seung express deep sympathy and sadness.

I don’t get it.

‘hmm.’

Moreover, since I am resistant to this type of attack, I automatically ignore the rising sensation anyway.

“It’s really okay. So just leave the potion alone.”

“older brother……!”

“You shouldn’t waste painkillers in a place like this. Are you a Class A guy who’s going to grind up some willow bark and eat it when you run out of medicine?”

Swish, swish.

He gestured as if to tell Yoon Seung to stop his actions of trying to hand over the restorative medicine.

And then I looked around again.

I didn’t know until I figured out the monster’s magic, but if we assume that they use [Pain Infliction] that penetrates Yun Seung’s defense, the outline is starting to take shape.

“Yoon Seung-ah.”

“yes yes?”

“But are these trees attacking… …. Are they all being eaten by the hunters who came here?”

As expected.

Soon, an explanation came from the defense hunter standing nearby.

“Yes, yes! Whether it’s A-class or B-class, they all don’t matter. Even if it touches my clothes, I’m helpless!”

“As expected.”

“This time, it’s completely different from [Baron Hwawon]. If we call in hunters with mental manipulation skills, we can deal with it to some extent, right?”

“Because they have the same mental attack system.”

“But that thornbush didn’t even have any seeds.”

So that’s why the brakes haven’t been applied yet.

I wondered why they looked so unfamiliar. It turned out that the gate hidden underground was a new dungeon that had never appeared before.

At the same time, those plant-like monsters used magic to make everyone feel pain equally, regardless of their status… … .

“No, what? So everyone was afraid of getting sick and couldn’t go into that dome?”

When the S-class hunter asked a question, Ahn Yoon-seung answered with a timid expression.

“Yes. Actually, we tried to force our way in earlier… … and one of the hunters was pushed to the brink of shock and died like a hedgehog, so everyone withdrew… … .”

A new type of monster that causes phantom pain like hallucination magic, with a slightly different mechanism and is causing problems in various ways.

All animals try to avoid pain.

So, if a monster is discovered that causes pain just by touching it like that.

The efficiency of ‘eating’ is drastically reduced because intelligent beings usually try to resolve the situation without making contact with it as much as possible.

Accordingly, the spirit beings who visited Alphauri steadily reduced their use of [Pain Infliction].

‘The stupid spirit still remains.’

Since Earth was still in the early stages of being occupied, some rather outdated methods were prevalent.

Of course, this wasn’t my job.

It was a thorn tree dome and a naval, and he planned to just receive the cooked pork cutlet and go home right away.

‘I don’t know, you guys~ If you keep bothering me, bring Hasung and set it on fire. Well, it looks like that guy is in a different dungeon or something right now.’

Working without even eating is now truly a waste of time.

Kim Ki-ryeo wanted to quickly escape from the brake scene before unnecessary responsibility piled up.

“Brother Kiryeo. Seriously, what should we do about this? Everyone is trying to get rid of that big dome right now.”

“… .”

“The speed at which the Hunters cut the stem and the speed at which it regenerates are exactly the same. Anyway, with that kind of recovery power, how can it be considered only B-rank…!”

Swish.

Then, the mental concentration began.

I focused on my goal regardless of what Ahn Yoon-seung said next to me.

What he wants to know is the number of monsters in front of a certain apartment.

Currently, the residents of an apartment complex nearby are trapped as the entrances are blocked by monsters that have burst out of the dungeon break.

So, after dealing with those few monsters and getting the food from the delivery man, my work for today is done.

‘hmm?’

… that’s what I thought until just now.

‘Wait a minute, this is.’

moment.

Kim Ki-ryeo, who had been using his senses to explore the number of individuals, twitches and raises one eyebrow.

Ahn Yoon-seung is puzzled when the hunter, who had been silent with his hand on his forehead, suddenly shows a change in expression.

But the blonde hunter didn’t say anything after that and just moved his hands quietly.

He took out his beloved Hydra from the item box, took it out of its scabbard, and took a deep breath.

“Phew… … .”

Drones, helicopters, etc.

A black thornbush dome so densely built that it is difficult to observe with modern artifacts.

An unfortunate employee of a circulating bank who is trapped.

And a certain superpowered robber who exists together with the bankers inside.

robbery.

A living piece of trash that tries to extort money from people by threatening them with force.

Gulp, someone who was gathering their thoughts soon moved their throat loudly.

“uh.”

A situation where the attitude of a certain S-class hunter suddenly changed.

This could actually be summed up in just one word.

“Brother Kyeryeo?”

Kim Ki-ryeo just discovered through his exploration that there was a dead Awakened person in that thorny forest.

“───This kind of thing.”

Then he grabs the [Hydra] he is trying to heal and shouts.

“Yes. Anyway, it’s really a big deal that good citizens have been put in a dangerous situation. Alright, there’s nothing we can do. All Hunters, retreat. I’ll enter the dome right away.”

“yes?”

Hurry up!

After making such a shameless declaration, Kiryun began to head towards the center of the situation.

“Yoon Seung-ah, don’t follow me. There’s a person stranded at the △△ apartment in front of here. Go rescue them!”

Eliminate witnesses for the perfect crime.

A schedule that changes like turning the palm of one’s hand for profit.

It’s an action that is truly devoid of conscience, but isn’t it okay since it didn’t show on the outside?

“Uh, uh, yep!”

Even after going through the pain of the thorn tree (I didn’t), I chose to go to the field without a moment’s hesitation.

Moreover, his amazing information power that allows him to identify disaster situations in the surrounding area one step ahead of others!

“All right!”

As expected, it’s Brother Gi-ryeo!

With that, Ahn Yoon-seung followed the given instructions with a look of respect in his eyes that had increased by 20%.

***

<5 minutes later, inside the thorn tree dome>

Shusoo Sook.

Somewhere, a sharp wind noise rings out.

It was the sound of the plant’s pointed organs growing rapidly and extending to a single point.

-Crack!

-Phew.

-Swish!

By the way, the guys outside couldn’t do anything because the inside was like this…

“ah.”

I stopped walking and just rolled my eyes to look around.

“Isn’t this a bit much?”

Enemies that shoot thorns from all directions when they detect an intruder.

As Ahn Yun-seung said, inside the black dome, countless monsters were taking over the land in the form of a forest.

Of course, the damage was completely ignored due to the collaboration of epic items and pain-related body modifications.

The problem is the beauty power of thorns.

Not only did I not fall, I was actually pinned to the spot like a pinned insect specimen.

“Arai.”

But it’s not something to worry too much about.

Luckily, I had a sturdy tool to fight against the thornbush.

I broke my right wrist and let the tip of the Hydra’s blade brush against the surrounding thorns.

-!!

Then, the once vibrant stems collapse, unable to withstand even a few seconds.

Yes, that’s right.

Hydra. The toxicity of this epic weapon was effective even against plant-type creatures.

‘Who would block the road then?’

In addition, hunting using Hydra has another usefulness.

The thorn trees placed here all had excellent regenerative powers, and even if the stems were cut, they would quickly return to their original state.

The standard strategy for stopping the recovery phenomenon is to find and burst the squishy organs that are randomly hidden on its body.

By using poison in this way, even that cumbersome process can be easily omitted.

The poison is released into the water column, causing the nucleus to die on its own.

‘Okay!’

Okay, now that we’ve cleared the obstacles, let’s head to the bank.

‘Please, stay safe… … .’

Crunch! Crunch, crunch!

I quickly reduced the number of thorn trees around me while thinking of some kind of prayer.

A path soon opens up in the landscape that was once as dense as an undeveloped forest, and as we hunt a little more generously in preparation for an emergency, the lost cityscape finally begins to come into view.

‘Please, let our bodies be intact and not seriously damaged!’

That was the moment.

thud!

As I cleared away the tree that had taken root in the middle of the road, a bright blue building sign suddenly came into view.

[Circulation Bank Shinsudong Branch]

Low-rise building with isolated problem for bankers.

And of course, when you focus your senses, you feel a familiar yet alien sense of magic within it.

‘Unlike a living wizard, a body in which the flow of magical energy within the body has stopped.’

That is, the corpse of a sorcerer.

The corners of my mouth went up without me knowing it.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, but this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

‘What a windfall!’

Anyway, outside, people are busy trying to repair the collapsing buildings.

So, the Earthlings will be too busy taking care of their surviving species to care about the deaths within the dome for the time being.

‘That robber’s body is now mine!’

Of course, I had thought about how to hide the body for a long time.

Okay. Now all that’s left is… .

***

“Gyaaaah!”

“Ahhh.”

“Mr. Junwoo. Get under the desk! Bend down. Quickly!”

thud.

On the tiles that had been cleaned so cleanly since early morning that your face was visible.

An object with a mass of 76 kg falls there with a dull sound.

But it wasn’t an object until just now.

There was obvious life.

Even how vibrant it was, the room was all over the voice, saying, ‘I brought money and chew!’

A certain Hunter was forced to retire due to a serious ankle injury sustained on the job.

When he loses his entire fortune, which was not enough to buy the ultimate potion to cure his chronic illness, to a scam, he plots to rob a bank to cover his living and entertainment expenses.

But as you can see, this ice wizard’s crime was not successful.

A corpse with its eyes wide open and blood vessels burst, like a miserable death from torture.

“Euuuu, euhhhhhh… … !”

“Joe, be quiet! Don’t make any noise. ‘That thing’ will catch you.”

Gulp.

Blood bursts out from the man, soaking through the grout lines of the tiles.

When they first pressed the emergency bell, these bank employees thought they were about to be stopped by a duo of robbers and police officers.

But their evil deeds are blocked by an unexpected entity.

There just so happened to be a gate hidden underneath the grounds of this bank, and who could have guessed it would explode at any moment.

-Kyaaaaak!

I was unlucky.

The retiree who told the police officer to take out the money immediately if he didn’t want to see the body of the petitioner frozen and the human body necrotized.

He was attacked by a tree monster that appeared in the bank and fought for a long time, eventually dying from excessive bleeding.

Mr. Choi, a 20-year-old who abandoned his colleagues and ran away, succeeded in escaping from the bank through quick judgment.

Eventually, he was confronted by police officers who were entering the area and arrested immediately.

And after that, the trees that appeared quickly multiplied and formed a black dome.

‘Ugh, ugh… … .’

【Circulation Bank :)】

A shadow of something is reflected through a small transparent window of a circulation bank with a playful emoticon drawn on it.

A gigantic, terrifying creature that is constantly writhing and striking at the baby-flying object even at this very moment.

‘Ugh.’

Not only that, but inside this place, there was a monster of the same kind that had destroyed all the guest seats and taken over the living room.

Because of this, bank employees cannot even move upstairs at will.

The tree impaled and killed all the human bodies that made any major movements, as if it were playing hide-and-seek.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz.

The bankers hid themselves under their desks so as not to offend the monster.

But even though they held their breath like this, disaster eventually struck them.

-Hoodeddudd… … .

The sound of something thin rotating rapidly.

The male banker sitting next to the coin sorter gasps as soon as he sees its shape.

‘Hey, monster! It’s a monster!’

The little sapling that had attacked Ahn Yun-seung ended up crawling through the broken entrance.

It’s over.

If that thing starts to rip through this place, those who aren’t Awakened will die from having their internal organs pierced before they even have a chance to suffer.

‘Ah, ah. Mother, Father… … .’

But at that time.

Could it be that my brain has gone crazy from extreme fear and I’m now hallucinating?

Suddenly, a familiar noise began to enter the bank employees’ ears.

-Thump, thump, thump.

The sound of leather shoes is something you might hear when a neatly dressed office worker comes to the bank to do some quick business.
