The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 235

Episode 235. Silent (2)

Wait, this isn’t usual.

“What did you say?”

-I said no. Don’t go there.

When this person seemed puzzled, the person on the other end of the call stubbornly stated his intention again.

He blocked the entry into the new dungeon.

“It’s not that you can’t come with me, but you just can’t come at all?”

-yes.

Why this response?

Kang Chang-ho was not originally strict about the contractor’s hunter duties.

He didn’t even refuse the Japanese Dragon Raid, so it’s safe to say that he’s hardly ever stopped them up until now.

By the way, I lied to him again that I was S-rank to explain the defense increase effect of [Sacred Tree Sapling].

“But as I said earlier, the difficulty level here is only B-class… … ?”

Are you upset because I left the brake scene without saying anything last time?

I picked up my phone, thinking back to the thorn bush incident where I had rushed in to retrieve the body of a bank robber.

But the answer that came back was.

-Oh, is it possible that our veteran hunter is asking this question because he really doesn’t know?

Kang Chang-ho began to lead the conversation in a dry tone.

-Well, the new gate doesn’t work because there are too many unverified parts. If you go in without knowing it’s a B-class, the strange phenomenon could apply to S-class as well.

“hmm.”

-Besides, you said last time that you were an S-class, but if you fall into a state of [confusion], who’s going to take care of it?

“what…….”

-If you understand, in this dungeon, even if there is a break, try not to approach it first.

Even though the voice was bright, the flow was such that if we were actually looking at each other, the expression on their faces would have been unpleasant.

But if you listen carefully, there are some parts of the logic that seem a bit strange.

“excuse me.”

I blurted out the question that occurred to me without much thought.

“Excuse me, but if you had such thoughts, shouldn’t you have stopped me when I attacked Siren? Even then, we had to check what would happen to the S-class… .”

Of course, Kang Chang-ho’s tone of voice upon returning was not much different from mine.

-No. At least during the Siren era, there were cases where Class A Awakened people with fully equipped brainwashing resistance equipment responded to the attack.

“ah.”

-Even if we hadn’t come out to Mermaid Pass, if we had waited a little longer, Daejeon’s A-class team would have succeeded in conquering it separately.

I see.

‘If you look closely, these Earthlings are quite quick to catch on to news.’

It’s a great source of information.

After hearing the explanation, I understood his argument without difficulty.

But then, as if this wasn’t the end, a new sentence continued on the phone.

-Anyway, for that reason, what was the working title of this dungeon?

“It’s [anonymous cave].”

-Yes. Please postpone the handling of the nameless cave. Also, from now on, when a new mental attack monster appears, never rush in without caution. I know you are strong in that area.

Honestly, if you show off your confidence in front of the monsters in the dungeon, you’ll only end up being arrogant.

-hmm.

The sound of wind blowing can be heard over the cell phone speaker.

I guess the person on the other end of the line sounded like he was snorting.

-By the way, I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo really likes watching disasters.

“Does it look that way?”

– It’s been days since a big shot named Brooklyn Morgan went missing, and you’re volunteering for an unproven gate position.

The voice of the person you are talking to gradually gets lower.

The vocal cord vibrations of the top member of that ecosystem had characteristics similar to the infrasound of certain large mammals.

-Since you’re an S-rank, if you don’t do anything, you’ll feel itchy and stuff?

A clear voice that easily threatens my target, as if my calf muscles would automatically become paralyzed if I just listened quietly.

-So that’s why you’re determined to rush into something new and dangerous?

“yes?”

-Well, if you awaken to S-class, your daily life will inevitably become monotonous.

Kang Chang-ho laughed out loud for a rare moment, then returned to his joking tone.

-But no matter how much I think about it, this dungeon is a bit like that. Um, I have to go there, so first, stop by the gym I gave you the address for.

“Suddenly a gym?”

-There is nothing better than sports to relieve stress. I actually learned kickboxing for quite some time since I was a student. Since we’re on the subject, I’ll teach it to Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.

But if you make this joke twice, I’ll catch a guy.

-And after you break all your beautiful teeth while sparring without a mouthpiece, no one will ever be bored again.

A grim suggestion.

He showed an even more negative attitude than expected toward the idea of a sacrifice entering the other world where the phenomenon of possession occurred.

-Do you understand?

“No, that….”

-By the way, don’t call this overreacting. It’s nothing more than that, and you probably know what it means to be caught up in mental trouble.

“… .”

-If you base your standards on self-consciousness, you might end up completely ignoring the 10-year contract you signed in advance.

“… .”

-I say again, do not enter this dungeon until other hunters have verified its safety.

Kang Chang-ho, after talking for a while about what he wanted to say, soon hangs up the phone.

-Keep in mind that I am always watching you.

Stop.

I stared down at my phone for a long time without blinking, the screen of which had turned black.

‘I’m watching you.’

Oh oh.

I’ve only used this kind of expression myself my entire life. I’ve rarely heard it from others, so it’s always refreshing to see Earthlings use it.

But that’s that.

Anyway, what should I do about this?

‘hmm.’

After talking for a while, it seems like if you enter this gate without permission, you’ll get in big trouble.

‘Hmm… … .’

I raised my head and belatedly checked the association staff in front of me.

Since they were all unawakened, they were unable to hear the entire conversation that had just been going on due to their limited hearing.

But everyone soon looked away awkwardly, as if they had noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat aggressive.

‘It’s like this.’

You promised to investigate the gate, and now you’re here to tell me.

But there’s nothing I can do.

In the past, it was possible to gain the upper hand even with a suicide threat, but from the moment a certain possessor of a desire for improvement sought a second victim, the positions among the contractors were put back into place.

By the way, if what Kang Chang-ho said is true, my body is an entity with ‘the potential for additional growth.’

To find a sacrifice of such a magnitude that would allow one to let such a person die out of mere pride.

‘Is there a magician here who can use magic similar to predicting the future?’

Shrug.

I was lost in thought and soon came back to reality.

And I told the association staff.

“Everyone. I’m sorry, but something urgent came up and I have to cancel this appointment.”

“yes?!”

“For this gate, I would like you to call in another A-class team with good mentality and have them investigate.”

But even though the original plan went awry, there was an air of composure in his gestures.

Since it has come to this, there is no point in trying another method.

***

1 hour later.

A blue gate in Seoul.

As if to prove that this was a restricted area, a row of bright orange plastic barricades lined the front of the passage.

But a little later.

Bam!

“uh?”

One of the folding barricades suddenly lost its balance and fell over.

An employee of the Hunter Association, who was writing an email to his boss while holding a tablet PC, immediately put the fallen object back up when he saw it.

Why did it fall over when there wasn’t even any wind?

“Did I put it on the wrong side of the slope?”

He tilted his head and thought about the possibilities.

But his mumbling conjecture was far from reality. The fluorescent fence was lying down not due to wind or slope, but due to a clear physical impact.

-Slurp… … .

A creature that had been transparent until now releases the spell on its body as soon as it crosses the blue passage.

‘Eww!’

Blonde with three hundred eyes.

Doesn’t this look familiar in many ways?

‘I guess it’s because it just rained. The ground was slippery so I stepped on it wrong and it really made my stomach drop.’

Kim Ki-ryeo was currently using disguise magic to illegally enter the gate.

Yes, that’s right.

In order to achieve his goal, after much thought, he decided to completely ignore the contents of the oath he had made with Kang Chang-ho.

‘Remember that I am always watching over you?’

Haha! That’s funny.

Anyway, I climbed up without even knowing who was really watching me.

In fact, from the first day the contract was signed, he was already in a position to walk around the gate without reporting at any time.

But the reason I haven’t done that until now is simply because I didn’t have the capacity to use stealth magic.

Now that the lungs were healed, and even a hallucinogenic dummy had been installed in the studio to conceal the route taken while collecting the corpses, there was really nothing to be afraid of.

[Dragon’s Eye] will now see Kim Ki-ryeo’s magical power quietly lodged in his residence.

Even if he came to the studio apartment in person, broke down the door, and tried to see the face, there was plenty of time to buy with the overlayed illusion.

‘It’s darker inside than I thought.’

The man with a proud sneer on his lips soon began exploring the dungeon.

As he opens his palm, light magic is activated as smoothly and naturally as a living creature’s breathing.

However, for a magic spell performed by a great magician, the structure seemed to have many holes.

This is the alien creature that fought an all-out war with Alphauri’s first magician leader…

It was a nest where they might be hiding. No matter how difficult it is to distinguish between souls, it would be good to pay attention to such trivial details if possible.

He walked out of the cave with a spell that perfectly mimicked the primordial magic of the Earth.

“hmm.”

And when the deliberate waste of magical power embroidered the path walked instead of the bread crumbs.

One third of the way to another world.

“Huh? What is it?”

The blond man threw back his head and began muttering in despair.

“under…….”

It wasn’t long before I realized what this gate was all about.

It is difficult to confirm with Kim Ki-ryeo’s normal eyesight of about 1.2.

If you close your eyes and focus only on the flow of magical power, the enemy’s form will soon be captured by your senses.

The back sparkles like the cubic zirconia that is usually attached to a wrought ring.

A small, cute monster smaller than a grain of rice.

‘Yeah. I was wondering why I heard the news of the Ice Age so quickly. Well, it should take much longer than 8 years for the second stage of occupation to occur.’

The main character of this incident is an insect whose name, roughly translated into Earth’s language, sounds like ‘silent bug’.

In fact, there was no direct intervention from the spirit in this dungeon, and only a monster with supernatural powers that could be misunderstood appeared.

Silent bug.

The name already implies that it was an enemy that mainly attached itself to the back skin of animals and caused them to behave strangely.

‘I’m so happy to see the natural insects of my hometown.’

Slowly.

He stared blankly at the magic stone that was faintly glowing and embedded in the side of the cave.

If you look closely at the top of the magic stone, you can see milky white insects slowly crawling around.

However, since the Silent Bugs are creatures that are extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding magical power concentration, if they pass through this B-class gate to Earth, which has a relatively thin atmosphere… … .

‘So that’s why the Awakened One who escaped the cave became healthy again. The monster died of natural causes because it couldn’t withstand the environmental change. The reason the potion didn’t work is because it was continuously affected by new illusionary magic while it was still attached to the demon.’

What else did I say?

He put one hand into his trouser pocket with a small sigh.

Now there was no need to bother pretending to be a primitive sorcerer. After taking a quick look around, I saw that there was no central entity attached to this place that was supposed to be watching over the food box.

When I returned, I planned to try a sophisticated escape by strengthening my night vision in my own way.

‘hmm?’

But then.

The alien archmage hastily canceled the spell he was casting.

A warning light suddenly turns on in the keen sense embedded in the soul.

Because a new magical power suddenly appeared just outside the gate.

He slowly opened his eyes wide as he walked over the thin flesh of my body.

‘This is… … .’

He’s a hunter.

S-class hunter Kang Chang-ho!

What the hell. What the heck. And this dungeon is a one-way, straight line with nowhere to escape?
