The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 166

Episode 166. The craftsman chooses his tools.

Guardian.

Yeah, that’s a good point.

For the weak-minded Awakened, like those made of sugar, there is nothing more desperately needed than the protection of a god.

‘It’s fortunate that the same effect occurs on Earth… ‘

I pulled out the Hydra Blade and approached the monsters.

The amount of money poured into acquiring [the Sacred Tree Sapling] is in the tens of billions.

So how could this plant not be effective?

‘Right. Come.’

Whoosh!

As I approached, a nearby monster charged at me roughly.

What flows from the beast’s eyeballs is its unique composure when it discovers a creature weaker than itself.

Then the monster moved its six legs and rushed forward quickly.

But that’s okay. If you bathe in the branches of the sacred tree, you’ll get this effect.

“Kyaaaaak!”

Boom!

When the front paw of an unknown monster reached me.

Hunters on the other side of the crosswalk were shocked to see the dust rising explosively.

As the blowing wind died down, results that were different from what was expected gradually appeared.

“omg……!”

Not a single hair was out of place, let alone a single wound.

“Squeak!”

The monster seemed to not understand that its attack was being blocked, and it pushed harder with its hooves, but I could only withstand its attacks leisurely.

A defensive ability that perfectly responds to attacks from intermediate monsters.

Yes. This is the true nature that [the Sacred Tree Sapling] was hiding.

‘Okay!’

It has the ability to transform those who have their bodily fluids turned into something close to indestructible.

The story gets complicated if we delve into the magical aspects, but for now, let’s just assume that the blood of that branch protects me.

‘In fact, it’s closer to taking revenge on the creature that threatened you.’

I soon came back to reality.

As expected, the performance was incredible, as I had poured my fortune into it. As a result of strengthening it with the sacred tree, I was able to easily ignore even A-class attacks.

“Shiiiiik… …!”

Swish, swish, swish.

I swung the longsword I was holding and roughly left shallow wounds on the monster’s body.

With this, Hydra’s special effect, [Poison that kills the immortal], stacks up to 3 times.

“Krrrr… … .”

“Ugh.”

“Shh!”

Well then, from now on, let’s relieve some stress by targeting those guinea pigs.

“Kaaaak! Kkuruk, zuuuuu… … ?”

By the time the monster hit by Hydra began to twist its body and show strange reactions.

I leapt into the herd of beasts, holding a long sword in my hand.

“Keeeeeek!”

Among them, there were some who were wary of me and raised their voices, and there were many who turned away as if ignoring me, thinking that I was just an F-class creature.

But in either case, the destination is the same.

Whoosh-!

One stroke by manipulating the arm of the occupied corpse.

Ss …

He gave orders to each muscle and took another long stroke. This time, he swung the blade fiercely like a thunderbolt.

[Sacred Tree Sapling] is particularly good in this regard.

Ordinary armor only shows off its stupid sturdiness.

Since the kinetic energy itself cannot be eliminated, you are busy rolling around with the equipment on.

Kang!

That epic level is clearly different.

The ‘Guardian’ effect you can get from this is an absolute power when it comes to shock absorption.

The body is not pushed.

‘There are some slightly uncomfortable shortcomings, but… … .’

Having succeeded in wounding all the monsters, I stopped in the middle of the path and caught my breath.

Even at this moment, countless monsters were reaching out for me, but it was no use.

‘Do you think I spent billions of dollars for nothing?’

A few seconds later.

Urrrrr. The six-legged beasts that had gathered at the intersection fell to the ground, spitting out blood.

He died, unable to withstand the Hydra’s venom.

It took about 1 minute and 40 seconds to get here.

As expected, it was a small monster, so its heartbeat was fast and it died quickly. This is also quite interesting data.

‘hmm.’

Okay, so let me summarize today’s achievements in one word.

I finally have ‘S-class defense’!

From now on, you will no longer hear that your body is soft, or get hurt like a tofu just from the wind pressure when your weapon is drawn.

But I don’t expect that this alone will be enough to continue the collaborating.

Strength, body vision, presence, and other miscellaneous things.

I have only just managed to mimic one of the traits of a top-tier Awakened being.

Oh, my body’s endurance has suddenly increased, so I should tell Jeong Ha-seong about this separately, right?

‘Let’s just say that your skills have improved and you have progressed to the next level of class.’

I was standing there blankly, thinking about what to do next. Then, one side of the street suddenly became noisy.

“Huh? What is Dungeon Break…?”

“Wow, it’s Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo!”

“What? It’s over already?”

It was the sound of reinforcements arriving a little late.

***

At 4 o’clock that afternoon.

A single line of eyewitness testimony is uploaded to the SNS account of one of the hunters.

————==

#Hunters

He is a god… … .

————==

Although it is a short passage, many people understand who the ‘he’ in the sentence refers to just from this.

This post was accompanied by photos of the scene where demons were scattered.

[A real story about their skills? Look at the color of the corpses. Our group has to set up traps and do all sorts of things to catch them, so their hides are getting tattered. -.-]

[Oh, I was wondering how close the elementary school is, and it’s really right in front of us]

[I got news!!♡♡]

The dungeon break that took place in front of an elementary school in Seoul was covered on public broadcasting.

[Kim Ki-ryeo Hunter’s Witness Review:

(Preview) Wow, the real S-class has a different force from the moment they walk. And the reason I thought that was… … .]

The protagonist of this incident thought that Earthlings would praise his excellent defense capabilities, but the reality was somewhat different.

For ordinary people, the sturdiness of an S-class hunter is just a given.

The witnesses paid no attention to the parts of the car that were not even scratched.

But it was actually good.

In other words, this means that Kim Ki-ryeo at the time was seen as a natural S-class.

[As a father raising a child, I would like to thank the hunters once again. I would like to express my gratitude to those who delayed the entry of the demons into the field, and also to Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.]

The Great Wizard simply chose the right one to test out his new power.

People praised the blonde awakener without even knowing it.

The man who had maintained his composure without flinching despite the monsters’ fierce attacks soon easily annihilated the threat with just small, unnoticeable movements.

The sight of animals falling miserably like magnolia leaves on a summer day. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a refreshing hunting activity?

Admiration. Gratitude. Awe.

People then poured out praise for Korea’s fourth S-class.

With this achievement, he has completely solidified his position.

***

… [Sacred Tree Sapling]. [Hydra]. [Surprise Box].

And the name of S-class hunter.

Before I knew it, many elements had gathered for me. But I know that this is still not enough.

Right now, it’s just a superficial imitation of the power of the strong. It’s not yet possible to deal with a real S-class.

“I wish there were more magic tools.”

The best way to build strength in a short period of time.

That was the task of gathering epic-level magic tools.

But honestly, the act of equipping equipment with money had clear limitations.

The sacred tree sapling was just a special case where its true value was not revealed.

In some cases, the prices of ordinary epic-class fighters are comparable to those of new fighters, so labor is not the only solution.

‘hmm.’

So this is the conclusion I came to.

Suddenly, I have this thought. While I’m at it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try out an EX-grade gate.

Extra is the notation for special maze-type dungeons.

These places often require problem-solving skills rather than the power of the conqueror, and the rewards are also more generous than those of regular dungeons.

‘Even big hits like [Twin Guardian Angels] don’t come often.’

Even a bottom hunter can become an EX-level hunter if he uses his head well and strike it rich!

So, on Earth, there was even a hunter team that specialized in targeting only EX-class gates.

Of course, EX-class monsters ‘almost’ don’t appear, but it’s not like they ‘never’ appear. Sometimes, when you encounter something like the 13th month labyrinth, all the treasure hunters end up dying… … .

‘Huh.’

If you think about it, I can even deal with that variable.

This one has reached a level that is difficult to see as a low-level hunter due to the combination of several items.

‘I especially liked this guy.’

Tsdam tsdam.

I caressed the Hydra scabbard in my arms. With just this, I could send even a C-class demon to the gallows in an instant, so what was there to be afraid of?

So I decided to look into the maze dungeon as a source of new magical tools.

And while I had time left, I really wanted to clear at least one EX-class gate, and luckily, there was a gate that had already appeared nearby.

[(Breaking News) A mysterious gate appeared in southern Seoul. It has not disappeared even after 7 days, causing a stir… … .]

***

A few minutes later.

I am standing in front of a bus terminal.

To be exact, I came here to see the strange gate that was said to have occurred here.

“oh.”

When I arrived at the scene, I was able to encounter the passageway mentioned in the news.

A circular entrance cut into the asphalt floor.

‘It’s somehow brighter than usual. Is this a characteristic of EX-class?’

The light pouring out from there reminded me of a cheap incandescent light bulb, and as I half-frowned from the glare, a human voice burst out.

“Huh! Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo?”

“Hunter!”

Employees are confused by the appearance of an S-class.

I leave them behind, bewildered, and naturally enter the control line. Now, it’s time to get the overview.

“therefore…….”

The information I obtained from the association using my position as an appraiser is summarized as follows.

“The advance party that went in first has not been heard from for 7 days already. This passage is different from usual in that it is one-way and there is no way to turn back out, so the internal structure has not been determined yet?”

Since this small passageway didn’t collapse for 7 days, there’s a good chance that there are survivors.

‘Hmm.’

Falak.

I looked through the documents the association had given me. On the A4 paper was a handwritten list of hunters who had entered the passage.

[25 years old | Class B | Seon Woo-yeon]

Among them, there were some fairly familiar names.

“… … .”

A total of 11 people including her.

A whopping 11 people.

“Why are there so many missing people?”

According to their explanation, when the advance party did not return, the association organized a second investigation team and attempted to attack.

Even taking that into account, there were still a lot of people caught up in the gate.

Considering that the size of a hunter team in Korea is usually limited to 4 people.

‘That’s almost three teams’ worth.’

Talk.

By the time I reached for the light tip for a detailed analysis of the passageway.

An association employee who was organizing the messy control line turned his head and answered.

“Ah, that’s it. This gate is different from other places in that it’s structured so that if you touch it even slightly, you’ll be sucked in. I understand that the damage has increased because even the analysis team that came out to investigate was admitted… … .”

At that moment, I made eye contact with the employee.

“Huh.”

“uh.”

Cold sweat runs down my back.

“Haha. No, you shouldn’t have said that earlier… … .”

I was so flustered that I tried to blame the other person, but even that wasn’t enough.

Immediately afterwards, this side was swallowed up by a white light that rose from the ground.

.

.

.

… … When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was a strange scenery that seemed like another world.

“okay.”

When I saw a space where I could only see white no matter where I looked, up, down, left, right, I found myself pressing my nose.

“There’s no excuse for this. It’s 100% my fault. Things have been going so well lately that I’ve been complacent.”

It’s a food box that will kidnap you just by touching it.

Anyway, the guys with the Kisimche system really have the talent to make people angry in various ways…

‘hmm?’

That was when.

Crackle crackle. The faint sound of a campfire was heard somewhere in a space where there seemed to be nothing.

‘Now that it’s come to this, should we check what kind of dungeon it is?’

As I walked towards the direction of the sound, the surroundings changed as if they were soaked with paint.

Pumpkin, sky blue, and light pink.

Soon, a field full of flowers in full bloom will appear before your eyes.

There, unidentified creatures were dancing around a blue bonfire.

They had translucent wings and cute faces, and looked like fairies, as they were called on Earth.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

At the same time, what catches the eye are people gathered around a campfire and clapping their hands.

But if you look closely, something is strange.

Everyone had pretty flower crowns on their heads, and there were even fresh fruits with water droplets on them, making it a truly joyful festival.

For some reason, all the people here were in bad shape.

Everyone was shaking with faces that looked like they were about to cry at any moment.

“Huh!”

Well, anyway, that’s enough situation analysis.

It was at the moment when I had taken about three steps towards them that the human sitting at the 12 o’clock position of the campfire finally noticed me and reacted.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo… …?”

The identity of this Earthling shouting in a sobbing voice was Seon Woo-yeon, an employee of the association who had disappeared.

“You came to save me!”
