The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 149

Episode 149. The King of the Dead

Of course, there’s no point in trying this plan with an F-class body.

‘There are more reasons to buy a lung.’

I gathered my thoughts and hung up the remaining clothes.

.

.

.

And two days later.

Lee Hwa-young didn’t act up anymore, as if she realized something after the last warning.

Thanks to this, there was no need to figure out how to dispose of dead bodies on Earth. I thought it was a good thing anyway.

***

Gimpo International Airport.

Footsteps fell on the neatly arranged tiles.

Again. Again. Again. Again.

A white woman with golden bob cut that reaches the nape of her neck and pink booty heels.

Up to this point, she looked similar to an American S-class hunter, but her name was not Brooklyn.

This person, who was of small stature and had a plump body, was a freelance hunter called ‘Sophia’.

‘F**k! F**k!’

As soon as Sophia arrived in Korea, she started cursing.

Do you know why an awakened person from Minnesota came all the way to this oriental country?

That was because a lazy superior passed on his work to his subordinate.

-Sophia, actually, our boss gave me a certain mission. I’m sorry, but I’m busy and don’t have time to handle it. So, could you go to Korea instead?

Damn, I’m going to have to run some errands in Brooklyn.

Anyway, debt is the enemy.

After awakening to Class A, I paid off all my debts and had 700,000 dollars left over, so I thought I wouldn’t have any trouble with money in the future.

They say I can’t break my bad habits.

Even after her awakening, Sophia was unable to stop gambling and ended up losing all of her rare equipment, which was the foundation of her business.

Rather, because I became an awakened person, my spending increased to an unimaginable scale.

f*cking card games, f*ckin roulette!

If it weren’t for these debts, Brooklyn would never have been caught in a leash.

‘It sucks.’

Sophia walked towards the exit, nervously scratching at the black tattoo hidden under her turtleneck.

First of all, the entry procedures were completed safely.

***

– Find out if Korea’s fourth S-class is real or fake!

By the way, how can you receive such orders?

The S-class hunter in Korea might be fake, so let’s check his power?

‘I’m so… unlucky.’

Phew.

Before coming here, Sophia had already briefly investigated the Awakened Person named Kim Ki-ryeo.

But she could tell she was screwed just by searching the other person’s name on the website.

That oriental man is not your average S-class.

He was an incredible person who stood out even among the top-level hunters.

‘You cleared the dungeon where the Siren appeared? And you volunteered to conquer an S-class gate?’

Brooklyn must have been entrusted with this job just to screw his slave.

The Japanese hunters who entered the gate together also unanimously praised him, saying that they would not have been able to hunt the dragon without him.

‘How on earth is this guy not S-class?’

Sophia had already determined the target’s identity before the mission began.

It had to be that way.

Although it was not his intention, Kim Ki-ryeo’s record became more and more impressive with each passing day.

Even Jeong Ha-seong, a true S-class hunter, was fooled by his acting, so the trend spread in an instant.

‘Even Korea’s number one ranked player acknowledged his skills. So of course he’s S-class.’

Hey, even a great person like Jeong Ha-seong is involved, so can’t it all be fake?

Confidence is a scary thing.

As is often the case with people who are fooled by lies, Sophia jumped to a conclusion rather quickly after seeing the information surrounding Kim Ki-ryeo.

This means that the opponent has already been branded as an S-class hunter.

“Phew.”

Well then, now let’s get to the main point.

Whether Kim Ki-ryeo was real or not, Sophia had to check the level of her opponent and then go back.

Because that’s my promise to Brooklyn.

But if we assume that the opponent was truly S-class, then honestly, this was half-suicidal.

A hunter from another country who comes to a foreign country to test his strength and cause trouble. Anyone who meets such a person would naturally have their lids opened.

‘Hmm.’

Glance.

Sophia confirmed Kim Ki-ryeo’s impression once again.

Monolidded eyes.

Dry face.

A black suit, neatly dressed to the point of looking slightly nervous.

Sophia was of a different race than him, but at least she could tell that it wasn’t a ‘warm’ feeling.

okay.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t want to mess with a hunter like that.

“f*ck.”

But what can I do?

Even if it’s not as good as the Knight’s Oath, this is an item that’s extremely difficult to break.

“Oh, God… … Please let me return safely to my homeland.”

Sophia took out her cell phone and muttered a small prayer.

Before starting work, several preparations had to be made.

***

How will the identity of the fourth S-class be revealed?

In fact, the method itself is easy.

If you want to know the truth about Kim Ki-ryeo’s rank, just have Sophia herself, who is an A-rank, charge at the target with all her might.

A being that can overpower even the best A-class hunters.

That was the power of the new human race that had reached the pinnacle of awakening. Even the so-called A-class were ultimately weak in front of them.

‘The plan is simple.’

Of course, the problem with that Korean is that he seems like he’d turn you into kimchi if you messed with him even a little bit.

‘Shit!’

Perhaps the only fortunate thing is that this awakening ability is not a skill that directly confronts the enemy.

Anyone who plays video games frequently will be familiar with these words.

【Summoner】

Sophia was an Awakened being born with a very rare ability.

She could summon monsters that would listen to her commands by using the magic stones left behind by monsters.

A summoner of the Awakened series. That’s why Brooklyn specifically assigned this job to Sophia.

With Sophia’s powers, she could have made everything seem like an accident caused by the gate.

“Whey… … .”

[Fireball]

[Firewall]

[Light]

She also had a few camouflage skills to hide her awakening series, but since it was obvious that they wouldn’t be effective against S-class, she decided not to use them this time.

So from now on, the only things I’ll be using are my own summoning spells and hiding items.

‘Plus, there’s a contract attached that says I’ll blow myself up if I mention the mastermind. This is just like a ninja from an anime.’

Once I finish this, I will never gamble again.

Dalgrak. Sophia took the blue magic stone from the crude staff she had brought in, disguised as hunting equipment.

And he drove the illegal rental car he had prepared in advance and arrived near Kim Ki-ryeo’s residence.

.

.

.

It’s been about three days since I started hiding like that.

‘at las!’

Sophia saw a blond man coming out of the address given by the informant, but she didn’t take action right away.

This was because there were still many things to consider, such as the other party’s destination and the presence of witnesses.

‘You have to be especially careful if your destination is the gate. That Asian is also related to another S-class named Kang Chang-ho.’

She finished getting ready in the car and followed Kim Ki-ryeo.

The thing worn over the head was a stealth item that allowed the body to briefly blend in with the surrounding background.

‘OK.’

But it seems Kim Ki-ryeo had no intention of going hunting today.

He returned to the street after throwing away the plastic bottles he brought from home in a recycling bin.

‘You just cleaned up the trash? It’s ordinary.’

This is an open road, a good place to observe the situation.

And it seems like there aren’t really any other people walking around…

Sophia, who had been observing the situation, immediately carried out her employer’s order.

Now, all you have to do is test that guy using your summons. Of course, as the summoner, you will stay as far away as possible and hide your identity.

-Yes, Sophia.

Well then, let’s check the employer’s conditions again at this point.

Her boss, Brooklyn, had added a few more requests before this assignment.

-As you know, defensive abilities are really easy to manipulate. If you get the right artifacts, you can actually resist high-level threats even if you’re only a C-class. But that’s different from attack power, which is bound to be mixed with your own skills to some extent.

Brooklyn wanted to know Kim Ki-ryeo’s grade as accurately as possible.

So, when carrying out this mission, I told them to use something ‘special’, neither physical nor mental attacks.

Neither physical nor mental attacks work?

What kind of weird order is this, like a hot iced Americano?

But strangely enough, if you look closely at the monsters that appear at the gate, there is one that fits this place.

She knew of a monster with such powerful and fearsome attacks that no amount of defense could increase its resistance to.

‘Come out! You expensive servant worth jackpot number one.’

Kookookookookook.

Sophia poured all her power into the magic stone she possessed and summoned a monster into the sky.

This quadruped creature with dull skin like the bark of a dead tree and black blood oozing from every pore on its face is called Demilich.

[Demilich]

[Grade: A]

[Description: King of the Dead. Appears with a probability of about 20% in the boss room of the ‘Paradise’ dungeon… … .]

It was a special monster that made a ‘fixed damage’ type attack that could not be reduced by any means.

[Use [Soul Strike] skill.]

1 room for D-class and below.

Class C is 2 rooms.

And from Class B onwards, it’s barely even 4 rooms.

If it’s a special technique that causes instant death after being hit a certain number of times, wouldn’t it be possible to gauge the opponent’s skill?

‘Demilich’s attacks are absolutely unstoppable. Its status abnormality resistance is high, so tricks don’t work on it, so the only way to defeat it is to quickly defeat Demilich before you die.’

The process of obtaining this magic stone was indeed full of twists and turns.

Since Sophia’s ability only deals with magic stones that she herself has hunted and obtained, she has fought several Demilichs in their natural state.

And if I were to describe my impressions of this, I would say it was ‘horrible’.

‘Ugh.’

It was a pain that felt like a vital point hidden deep inside the body was being uprooted. That’s how shudderingly unpleasant Demilich’s attacks were.

[Soul Strike].

Can this monster really handle the concept of a soul?

‘Okay, look at the position carefully… … .’

Click.

Sophia adjusted the German-made telescope in her hand to confirm the other person’s appearance once again.

Blonde and three hundred eyes. The author is definitely the fourth S-class Korean that Brooklyn mentioned.

And if they are this far away, it will be difficult for even an S-rank summoner to notice their presence.

‘That’s certain.’

She stepped back as far as she could from the soldiers and gave orders to her servant.

‘Let’s get started!’

Then the quadruped animal that had been standing on the air fell to the ground.

Towards a Korean hunter walking alone on the road.

‘I feel sorry for some reason. It’s not that I have any ill feelings toward that guy, but… … But work is work, so there’s nothing I can do.’

Okay, so what will be the result from now on?

Can he subdue Demilich?

Or will you be trampled helplessly by the ruler known as the King of the Dead?

Sophia nervously adjusted her binoculars. At the same time, Demilich’s dry feet touched the ground.
