Episode 305. Baek In-tap (3)
Even at this moment, I am floundering.
The person next to me suddenly grabbed his weapon, took a couple of steps forward – without even twisting his body – and threw his sword.
What is this?
The problem isn’t the goalkeeper of Baek In-top right now. In fact, isn’t that the real monster?
-Gurrrrrr… … !
When the fellow hunter on the left succeeded in a directional attack, Ha-seong opened his mouth and held his breath for a moment.
In reality, all the opponent did was draw his sword and throw it.
However, to Ha Sung, the actions of the hunter named Kim Ki Ryeo seemed like the actions of a master who had overcome the dungeon curse in a matter of seconds and had adapted to the twisted senses on his own.
Thinking back, I still can’t believe it.
The sky becomes the earth.
Throwing a weapon and hitting someone in a cursed state where you can’t see anything even when you turn your head in the direction of the sound!
The appearance of opening one’s frosty eyes wide and clearly distinguishing between up, down, left, and right.
I wonder what on earth happened to that hunter’s brain.
‘I still can’t walk even one step properly because of motion sickness… …!’
Ha-seong tried to suppress the sense of alienation that was rushing in, his breathing ragged.
But no matter how much time he spent, he couldn’t seem to adapt to the changed perspective.
In this state, it was nearly impossible to recognize the correct location in space.
So, someone’s slight attack was packaged with grand meaning at every moment.
“Huh, huh. Hunter. Do you think Hunter Kim even knows how to protect himself in Dungeon Curse…?”
Of course, the number one ranked creature here is a thinking creature.
By the time [Steel Toad] capsized and was rendered powerless, a reasonable question finally arose in him.
“……no?”
An alien denied it without even breathing… … .
“No… you say?”
“Ah, even I can’t bounce off the effects granted by the dungeon. Ha-seong, you know that there is no such case in the world, right?”
It’s only natural that people would pay attention when they accomplish something that no one on Earth could have done before.
So, Kim Ki-ryeo needed to hide the absolute abnormal condition he had.
When his disciple who had entered the gate with him was suddenly beaten by a frog-like beast, he was so shocked that he appeared to be in good condition.
‘Well, since I told Kang Chang-ho, who is also Korean, about the awakening attribute, information about the internalization will eventually spread.’
But even in this time of crisis, it is difficult to reveal the whole truth.
No matter how many times I think about it, it seems dangerous to explain abilities that go beyond the scope of modern humans on Earth.
So, he made up a vague excuse to keep himself from losing his balance.
“Jeong Ha-seong. Originally, the curse that the gate brings down was something that you had to endure yourself.”
When the effect of hemoptysis occurs, use it as a restorative.
And if you become deaf, just accept that state.
Kim Ki-ryeo also claimed that he was currently suffering from the effects of the inversion of vision, and Ha-seong immediately responded to his voice telling him to proceed with the attack without saying anything in this state.
“What did you say?”
A young man called a hero has a frown on his forehead.
A year ago.
Jeong Ha-seong, who was holding the Sunset Sword in the backyard of the Hunter Association and had a hardened expression as if he was angry.
‘Huh? Are we going to start dancing with swords again?’
Suddenly, Kiryeo remembered something from the past and stiffened her shoulders.
But contrary to his worries, Ha-seong’s face wasn’t like this because he was angry or annoyed.
“My vision is so dizzy. It’s hard to even look at Hunter right now. How can I endure and overcome this state….”
I was just anxious about everything.
Now, thanks to Kiria’s help, the boss has been neutralized.
What if the toad on the first floor doesn’t die from [Hydra] alone?
No, what if he dies? Then the next level of trials will begin right away, and he will never be able to adapt to the changed view in such a short time.
“Ugh….”
Jeong Ha-seong raises his body while holding the area above one of his eyes.
And somehow, I tried to activate the skill and shoot the enemy.
but.
“Okay!”
Hurrrrr.
The flame that was finally completed spread far beyond the place where the monster was lying down.
It was the aftermath of the image in my eyes being overturned.
Clearly, I was aware in my head that the toad was stuck to the floor, but the human brain is so naive that it was easily fooled when I put a ceiling in my eyeballs.
“Jeong Ha-seong!”
It was around the time when the black-haired man was in pain.
The archmage, who had been watching him quietly, said:
“If you have a hard time adjusting to visual information, just close your eyes.”
But to mammals who had lived for hundreds of millions of years without knowing miracles, it sounded cruel.
“If you close your eyes completely, it’s hard to tell where the enemy is.”
“Detect with magic.”
“That, that method can only be used to avoid Awakened enemies walking down a twisted corridor. It’s difficult when facing an opponent moving at an A-class speed…”

“Then, when the attack touches your body, you recognize it and try to determine the direction of the fire?”
“I think it’s the same story.”
Trembling.
Jeong Ha-seong forced himself to raise his head, enduring the dizziness that was creeping up on him.
The only weapon that can fully withstand one’s own flame.
He spoke while holding the Sunset Sword tightly.
“I’m not like Hunter Kim, my senses aren’t that sharp. My reactions are incredibly slow. Honestly, I didn’t know I would be this flustered over something as simple as a broken eye.”
“hmm.”
“If you try to counterattack recklessly now, you will definitely fail to adjust the skill range……”
Although his words were vague, it was easy to guess what his original intention was.
‘In short, are you afraid that the challenger you came with will get roasted?’
But this is still an F-class body that is nothing special, so even if I wanted to help, my role is limited.
“Didn’t I say that I would only assist when I entered this gate?”
“ah……!”
Anyway, there’s no point in hastily revealing that he’s a fraud here and there.
So, after doing some calculations in his head, he came up with a better solution.
“Jeong Ha-seong.”
This gate has an overall difficulty rating of A.
Therefore, it is difficult for a high-ranking person like an S-class hunter to die, so honestly, this is a fight worth trying as long as the strong person like Jeong Ha-seong does not commit fratricide.
“There’s a skill that I’ve been explaining over and over again in every class lately.”
“…yes.”
“A way to make the flames bloom as close as possible around your body, so that they also act as armor.”
“yes.”
“Then why don’t we practice that now? It’s a bit sudden, but come to think of it, the Baek In-top form is pretty good for actual training.”
In Jeong Ha-seong’s field of vision.
A blond man who appears to be hanging upside down from the ceiling explains further.
“Since a class A boss appears, there will be an enemy that can give you some tension. Moreover, the battle continues without a break.”
“yes?”
“This should be easy to get the feel of.”
The White Tower, which others regarded as a symbol of fear.
Let’s just use it as a place for skill training.
“Jeong Ha-seong. You’re so worried that you might burn me right now.”
“…….”
“But if you properly master the skill I taught you, you can control the range of effect to within 1cm of your body. This is the process of getting there.”
This overflowing magical power no longer attacks the weak, but is the perfect form of an attribute that can only melt the sword tips of all the scoundrels who come to harm you.
Although, in a recent class, I predicted that it would be difficult for the mammal in front of me to complete this.
On the one hand, it wasn’t like I judged this to be 100% impossible.
“People who were born similarly in a time when disasters were common. It’s a bit odd to say this, but…”
Jeong Ha-seong.
There have been glimpses of possibility in the past.
“Of course, to awaken to something, you often have to go through hardships and stress.”
To be exact, it was around the time I was fighting with the Awakened One on a sandy beach in Incheon.
That black-haired primitive sorcerer had already cast Ignition when the distance from the enemy was close to 0.
“Do you remember when you fought Hunter Kang Chang-ho?”
“yes.”
“I’ve told you over and over again, but I’m not telling you to act exactly like you did back then. If you put your entire body into the attack range like that, you’ll only end up killing yourself.”
Digging.
At this moment, the addicted otherworldly monster is upside down, puffing out its sac of tears.
He realized that the enemy was preparing to attack and ordered Jeong Ha-seong to do so.
“What I’m saying is, try to use your skills by sticking to your body as much as possible. So, just get close to the enemy and attack them recklessly! Can you do that?”
Can you do it?
A high-level demon is growling right in front of you, so isn’t this a situation where you have to do something by force?
“Okay, I’ll try.”
The number one ranked hunter felt that his tutor’s request was unfair, but he decided to give it a try.
He cast flames around me like some crazy alien wizard who makes fire underwater.
And while maintaining this defensive and weapon spell, he charged at the enemy, but it was no easy task to catch a monster with both eyes closed.
“Ugh!”
Of course, even if I opened my eyes, the disadvantage was the same.
-Jump.
A truly powerful being with S-class magical power moved. The steel toad canceled the cry attack it was preparing and hurriedly flipped over and ran away.
Time has passed.
Fortunately, the first floor trials that could not withstand the long-term exposure to the venom that constantly occurs on [Hydra] days died and disappeared.
Sling.
From the sounds heard, it seems that the owner of the epic weapon has retrieved the blade from the monster’s corpse.
“I have a feeling that teleportation will begin soon.”
But so what?
“Ah, it wasn’t because of my feelings.”
The second floor battle has arrived.
Jeong Ha-seong opened his closed eyelids for a moment.
But the next layer of trials that appeared were even more annoying.
‘The colors look familiar… … . Ah! Damn! This is a monster I’ve met before. That’s the [Evil Servant] that usually appears in the island region… … !’
At best, a small monster the size of an adult’s palm appears.
‘And three more?’
Jeong Ha-seong first went to the center of the room and attempted a range attack.
Of course, it would be unreasonable to hope for a good outcome from the preemptive strike now that things have gotten this complicated.
Soon, a situation unfolded where the hunter known as the best in South Korea was helplessly swayed by the movements of three small and nimble monsters.
‘It’s impossible. For now, even if I open these damn eyes or close them!’
I’ve been training like that for so long, but how did I…?
How could I look so inadequate at a gate that I had already cleared alone once?
Grand Prize, Excellence Award, 1st Place, 1st Place.
Jeong Ha-seong had often been praised by the world for being great throughout his life. So, his current situation was doubly embarrassing.
‘Before I entered the tower, I boasted that I could do it on my own.’
Even though I am now a grown man, I still feel so embarrassed that I want to hide in a hole.
But I don’t know if you know this person’s feelings or not.
The master standing somewhere in the room started advising him that he should quickly maintain his skills properly or he would be hit by the enemy.
Perhaps because my eyes were closed, the hunter’s voice sounded even colder today.
