The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 150

Episode 150. King of the Dead (2)

I really need to move soon.

What does this studio apartment mean in terms of feng shui that causes accidents and incidents every day?

“f*ck.”

Grumbling.

I had a rough idea of what was happening before the ‘something’ that appeared in the air even touched the ground.

It exuded too much of a foreign magic to be ignored.

Ss …

And then a black shadow fell from the sky.

The thing that appeared before my eyes stepped lightly on the asphalt as if it were not carrying any weight.

Bam, bang.

An unidentified monster that lands lightly and raises its crouching body.

The sound of flowing bones is like a rotten old tree breaking.

But now is not the time to appreciate such sound effects.

‘What the heck?’

I hesitated and stepped back when I saw the monster falling from the sky.

‘magic?’

Then, the mysterious monster stretched its arms forward and started to perform something like a spell.

I didn’t approach it rashly.

If by any chance the spell it uses is one that blows up the area around it, it would be a big deal.

‘Let’s calm down. We brought out all the magic tools today. If we feed them [Surprise Box!] and make them faint, they’ll somehow escape… . . . ‘

I reached into my pockets, analyzing the monster’s spell.

‘That’s right. After knocking it out, let’s stab its eyes with [Hydra]. The black stuff coming out of there also looks like bodily fluid. Maybe it’s poisonous?’

But right after that.

Something completely unexpected happened in the direction where the monster was.

“uh?”

Phew!

The magical power of the monsters that had been gathered in one point suddenly scattered helplessly in all directions.

“… … .”

“… … .”

What, what is it?

The situation remains the same after that.

The monster stood there and tried to cast the same spell over and over again, but somehow all of the magic ran away before the spell was even completed.

That too, neatly.

‘Nothing… is happening?’

Knock knock knock.

I looked at the monster for a moment to figure out the situation, but at that moment, a brief memory flashed through my mind.

‘ah.’

Demilich!

I thought I’d seen this somewhere before. Isn’t it that monster I saw on the internet before?

When I first learned how to use a cell phone.

I searched for the word “soul” on a portal site, and at that time I learned that there was a monster on Earth that used a technique called [Soul Strike].

‘Long live the information society.’

A demon who deals with the concept of soul and magic that even I, who was at the pinnacle of magic, could only barely interpret at the end of my previous life.

But now that we’ve met in person like this, I know for sure.

As expected, Demilich’s technique does not touch the soul…

‘aha!’

I saw the monster’s repeated failures and figured out the truth about the spell.

‘This is [Mana Burn]!’

The technique that Earthlings called soul strike was actually an attack that had nothing to do with spiritual concepts.

[Mana Burn].

To be exact, it is simply a magic that evaporates the magical power held by the wizard.

That’s why Demilich’s attacks couldn’t be stopped even with good armor.

The magical tools found in dungeons usually provide a strong defensive barrier around the owner’s body.

They are resistant to external impacts, but they cannot prevent what is inside from leaking out.

‘Whew, I thought there were real shamans on Earth… … .’

He is the king of the dead. He is a soul striker.

Anyway, I was needlessly nervous because of the grand name.

But if you think about it, it’s not like it was an unreasonable fuss.

Mana Burn is definitely a very lethal skill for a wizard.

‘That’s why I used to use it a lot in my past life.’

If you don’t have mana, you can’t attack.

The barrier surrounding the body also becomes weaker.

Mana Burn was a skill that could reduce an opponent’s attack and defense power in one hit.

Let’s say Demilich’s attack burns 100 mana at a time.

However, the total magical power of a D-class hunter is at most about 70.

So do you know what happens if a D-class Hunter is attacked by a Demilich?

Scream and die. If you’ve awakened, your internal organs have already evolved to utilize mana.

‘If a wizard runs out of mana, his organs will stop working and he will die.’

A powerful spell that can burn away even the smallest amount of mana essential for life.

Certainly, from the perspective of the Earthlings, it was understandable to misunderstand that Demilich was dealing with souls. When that monster beckoned, they would feel the shock of their lives being cut down.

‘The evaporation of mana is a completely different feeling from the magical power consumed when using a skill.’

The primitive sorcerers must have died without even knowing what was happening.

But this time the opponent was not good.

I know this because I enjoyed using that magic in my past life. [Mana Burn] only works on sorcerers who are much lower in rank than you…

In short, it’s a technique for dealing with mobs.

“hmm.”

Unfortunately, the one here is from the Archmage family.

The ability to control magical powers is on a different level, so how could I lose ownership to such a baseless beast?

“fall……?”

Demilich’s techniques didn’t work on me.

This is because, unlike Earthlings, they have complete control over all of the mana in their bodies.

“Okay… … .”

Finally, the opponent realized this fact. Demilich panicked and black liquid poured out of his eyes instead of cold sweat.

“Garrrrr!”

But at that time.

The monster shedding black tears changed its posture.

He fell to his knees with his legs hunched over and his hands on the floor.

The Korakseonni, with its head bowed, may look as if it is submitting, but in fact it is attempting an even more powerful attack.

Because if you put your hands on the ground, you can draw out a little more of the mana contained in the ground.

“Urgh… … . Le… … !”

Demilich grumbled and activated his third mana burn.

Of course, that just turned out to be invalid too.

Anyway, it’s a pity to see you going through all that trouble. With that kind of sloppy technique, no matter how many times you try, you’ll get the same results.

“Hmm.”

Well anyway.

I was briefly surprised by the unexpected attack, but I guess it’s fortunate that the story flows in such a disappointing way.

Sling.

I pulled the Hydra’s Blade out of the scabbard at my side and strode forward.

But the Demilich in front has long since been ignored and passed by.

Because, this isn’t a real creature… … .

“okay.”

Because I am a servant of a sorcerer.

“Let me see what kind of kid he is.”

What I felt in my hands was the cool weight of the Hydra. After a short warm-up, I started running at full speed.

***

oh my god.

oh my god.

oh my god!

Sophia was horrified.

‘This can’t be happening!’

The summoned Demilich clearly used [Soul Strike]!

Even the strongest hunters would be crushed by that terrible technique!

‘My, my Lich’s attack was ignored… …?’

The blonde, cold-blooded man didn’t even blink an eye when he was hit by Demilich’s skill.

All he did was stand there and look down at the monster coldly.

‘Did the summoning go wrong? No, my skill was perfect. As always!’

Sophia, unable to believe the reality, ordered her summoner again.

I sent a signal to attack the man with all my might.

But what followed was even more shocking.

dump.

As soon as the summoner’s command was delivered, Demilich’s first action was to kneel before Kim Ki-ryeo.

‘what!’

The King of the Dead, who equally drove all hunters into despair regardless of rank.

But how can a transcendent being who can freely manipulate souls behave so cowardly?

‘They’re just standing there!’

Sophia was harassing her fallen subordinate.

‘What are you doing, Demilich! Strike harder, harder, harder!’

But the more you do that, the more the summoned creature takes a posture closer to the ground.

“Garrr… … .”

In fact, the [Summon] magic did not include any function that would allow you to communicate with the summoned monster.

So Sophia couldn’t understand her servant’s behavior.

From Demilich’s point of view, he listened carefully to his master’s words and did his best to attack.

To humans, that posture looked like that of a defeated soldier who had completely surrendered to the enemy.

‘Oh, how did this happen?’

I went through all that trouble to get Demilich’s magic stone.

Sophia was speechless as she looked at the summoned creature that had become useless.

“uh?”

But then.

The blond man whose image was formed in the lenses of the binoculars suddenly turned around in this direction.

He was looking straight into the center of the lenses as if he had just discovered these binoculars.

‘hmm?’

Isn’t it so strange?

Since I had been using a stealth item since a while ago, my binoculars would also become transparent, so he wouldn’t be able to see them.

‘Is it because I’m in a good mood?’

Just when I was about to pass it off as nothing serious.

Suddenly, Kim Ki-ryeo, who was over there, started running fiercely.

And that too, in the exact direction Sophia is in!

If nothing else, the great wizard’s ability to sense magic was unparalleled.

As soon as he realized that Demilich was a summon, he immediately recognized the caster connected to the monster.

‘Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?’

Sophia panicked.

How could I not be afraid?

This side watched carefully. What the fourth S-class did.

Kim Ki-ryeo was the one who neutralized the King of the Dead, who had led countless hunters to their deaths.

That Demilich lowered his head so that his forehead touched the ground in front of that man.

But now that he has touched such a monster… … .

‘If I get caught, won’t I die?’

Damn it! Oh my god! God!

Sophia ran away immediately, a scream threatening to escape her throat the entire time she ran.

‘Ahhhhhh! What should I do? Brooklyn, you f*cking bitch! It’s all her fault!’

The fear I feel now is comparable to when I was dealt a hand that was only two pair with $10 million bet on the table.

Sophia ran for her life.

However, her speed was strangely slow for an A-class hunter. This was because her abilities came with an unavoidable price.

‘Ugh!’

Unfortunately, [Summon] is a skill that really consumes a lot of magic power.

To put it simply, the efficiency was low.

Aside from the hassle of having to obtain magic stones, creating a servant of the same level as the caster consumes resources to the point where all of the caster’s energy is drained to the summoned servant, so it’s only natural that the caster’s body slows down.

These were the words of the one who imitated creation.

Sophia soon stopped walking due to a decline in her physical functions that could not be restored even with recovery potions.

“Cough, cough! Cough… … .”

I’m out of breath and my heart is racing.

But what I find most frightening is the characteristic of that S-class Asian.

‘There’s no sound! There’s really no sound!’

I heard that the Korean hunter Kim Ki-ryeo always keeps his magical powers suppressed.

Enzo even described it as feeling like he was standing in front of a F-class pyramid.

Unlike other S-classes, no matter how close he gets, no one can sense any abnormal signals.

The hunting style is different.

Kim Ki-ryeo is like a silent assassin, able to approach enemies without making a sound and kill them.

‘Ugh.’

How close is he now? Maybe he’s already behind me?

Sophia barely managed to look back, sobbing.

Then, what finally came into view was.

“her?”

Her eyes widened.

The blond man stopped at the end of that distant alley.

He just stands there and quietly watches this side. For some reason, he has no intention of moving.

‘What is that?’

Sophia was embarrassed.

But he had no time to continue his thoughts. The hunter suddenly started running as soon as his eyes met his.

‘Oh my god!’

As he followed him, Sophia’s mind went blank and she ran forward without thinking.

“Hehe, heck!”

What is most urgently needed at times like these is a high-speed movement artifact like the White Bird.

But there’s no way a penniless person who sold his equipment to pay gambling debts would have something like that!

This was a story that ended when my hiding was discovered by that S-class.

“Keuhuuk… … .”

Thump, thump.

Sophia stops walking immediately.

And then, like an ox being dragged to the slaughterhouse, he checked behind him again with his eyes wide open.

Since he was running so slowly, his opponent would have already reached him, but he still wanted to at least see where the sword would land.

‘Huh?’

Wait a minute, what the hell is going on here?

Sophia, who turned around, couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

“… … .”

The distance between Kim Ki-ryeo and himself was exactly the same as before.

The man was strangely standing at the end of the alley with his hands on his hips, looking at her quietly.

‘no way?’

Only after meeting Sophia’s eyes did Kim Ki-ryeo start running again.

Of course, Sophia also reacts to such a kind gesture and moves her legs in some way.

But at this point, something strange is starting to creep into the situation.

‘No way, no way, no way… …!’

A few seconds later.

Sophia glanced back to confirm the thought that had occurred to her.

Then, what is visible is the figure of a hunter who has stopped running quietly.

Sophia’s expression hardened in an instant when she witnessed this.

‘Kkaaaaaaah!’

I guess I’ll have to retract the analogy I made earlier.

I have never experienced such fear, even in the gambling tables between heaven and hell… … !
