Episode 203. Beast
It’s Monday again.
First, let me tell you another piece of good news.
“Congratulations, Hunter Kang Chang-ho.”
Finally, the S-class hunter who was locked in the detention center has been released.
As an alien, I couldn’t even begin to fathom how they did it, but they took care of everything and there shouldn’t be any problems from now on.
Even though it was an incident where an Awakened person fanned a regular person, the media became strangely quiet again.
‘Did you by any chance come to an agreement with the reporters for money?’
anyway.
I went to the police station with a gift to congratulate the other person who was released from custody.
When I searched the keyword ‘childcare facility’ on the Internet, there were a lot of stories saying that it would be good to give this to them.
“Take this.”
“Tofu.”
But the other person’s reaction wasn’t very good.
The Earthling who received the tofu as a gift looked down at it and briefly considered committing an act of violence, wondering if he was being sarcastic about it.
But since it was a place, fortunately, this did not lead to any new incidents.
Besides, judging from Kang Chang-ho’s reaction, my plan to suppress and control my magical powers so that it wouldn’t be discovered that my lungs had been repaired seemed to have worked quite well.
Well then, now that the primary concern is over, what’s the point of hesitating?
I returned home and started planning my future plans.
“hmm.”
First of all, the most urgent issue is to prepare a device to deceive [Dragon’s Eye] to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
-Do you know that your magical power is always greatly shaken?
However, in order to deal with Kang Chang-ho’s gaze, it was necessary to not only imitate the ‘shaking’ reflected in his eyes, but also suppress the magical power of the main body that was hiding the body to close to 0.
This means that the construction is large in one way or another.
First of all, the latter is a technique to block the outflow of magical energy traces. It seems like it will work somehow.
The part that is still a problem is the shaking phenomenon that Kang Chang-ho mentioned.
To be honest, I still don’t know why such afterimages appear, and I have no idea what their vibration frequency or intensity is, so it’s a bit ambiguous…
‘If I copy the biometric information similarly, will it work somehow?’
For the first time in a while, I started to think like a magician.
The result of the first consideration is that it is predicted that about two [Infinite Power Cores] will be needed for future plans.
So as soon as the afternoon came, I ran to the auction house and bought two cores.
‘It’s a bit much to go through the trouble of not having a listing twice.’
To be exact, it means that he came in immediately after receiving cash.
“Anyway, since I got my lungs for free, all the money left in my bank account is spare money.”
We’ve almost got the materials. Now all we have to do is research and create a dummy that looks as good as possible.
So I returned to a life of seclusion once again.
Contrary to my resolution before reincarnation, where I had decided to empty my mind and live a vagabond life, each day seems like an experiment and labor…
But now I feel a lot more at ease.
Because I achieved my ultimate initial goal of healing my lungs, I didn’t feel like I was being chased.
“Ahem.”
From now on, I planned to spend my days leisurely, occasionally worrying about the training of the number one ranked player.

Bubbling, bubbling… … .
Saturday came soon.
In the small cupboard of the studio apartment, there are still tea leaves that I got from Hadong.
The weather is starting to get warmer, so I tried to cool this down and drink it cold.
-Crack.
At that time, the glass in my hand was frozen with magic.
I suddenly heard a familiar word on the screen of my phone that I had left on.
[A ‘beast’ has appeared again at a gate in Europe, causing controversy… … .]
Beast.
Because it was a name that had been on the news every day for the past five days.
.
.
.
A bizarre outfit with a giant mask made of elk bones and tattered black leather like a worn-out tire.
This is the characteristic appearance of any S-class hunter that exists on Earth.
But what was unique about Beast wasn’t just its appearance.
It is an unregistered awakened person who is treated as a serious crime in some oriental countries.
In short, he was a ‘presumed’ S-class hunter who had never been formally examined.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Devil… that’s the devil.”
This mysterious hunter first appeared in the first S-class dungeon break a few years ago.
The Nuckelabi incident at the Sea Devil Gate.
The boss monster that appeared at this time, Nuckelabi, was a terrible monster that was half-human and half-horse, with the lower half of its body moving like a mollusc with a huge throat, and a human on fire (probably playing the role of a lanternfish’s light source, since it was too inert to be considered alive) attached to it.
As the mouth attached to its lower body roared, a certain S-class hunter, who was famous as a former wrestling star, burst out in a spectacular manner.

The scene instantly terrified the citizens of Hawaii.
however.
In this desperate situation, a new savior soon appears.
An unidentified beast wearing black leather all over its body strode onto the shores of Hawaii.
Because he single-handedly killed the sea demon that was oppressing the American hunters.
“Oh my god!”
I don’t even know what skill I used.
I don’t even know where this person came from.
But most people had the same opinion about the Awakened One who suddenly disappeared.
“Like a reptilian in a conspiracy theory. We feel like he’s some kind of unseen absolute being from the Hunter realm.”
The public is more interested in fighters who fight by the rules in the ring than in fighters who fight by the rules.
Because I tend to give more generous evaluations to wild, strong people who wander the streets.
Beast thus became the unofficial strongest player in name and reality.
And the Beast has been spotted frequently around the world since the Nuckelaby incident.
[Giant’s Castle], [Nest of Fire], and the A-class [Dimensional Treasure Vault – Subspecies] full of golem-shaped demons.
Before long, people were joking that the beast, which was only occasionally found at the so-called troublesome high-difficulty gates, might not be a human but a spirit.
Like little beings who exchange children’s baby teeth for coins.
Certainly, up until now, Beast has shown us small kindnesses.
… But this month, that beast revealed its shocking true colors.
As always, the Beast was captured in front of the high-difficulty A-class gate.
The Spanish hunters who encountered it were delighted to have met the unknown power of which there were many rumors, and followed the beast without any doubt. To be exact, it accompanied it to the gate.
In the past, there was a problem with Beasts interfering in raids without permission, but they still didn’t bother the hunters who entered together.
“Huh? What is it?”
But this time, something felt different.
A few hours later.
Only one person was able to escape from the exit of the Class A gate that was created within.
The passageway, where the light dims and collapses rapidly as soon as the Beast appears.
This made it easy for people to notice that there were no survivors inside the gate.
But how on earth did all the upper-level hunters suddenly disappear?
“Hello? What about the hunters that went in with us?”
Because Beast was a quiet person who never gave interviews, people didn’t know the truth until then.
I just assumed that the hunters died at the hands of monsters during the hunting process.
Everyone was still confused.
But just a few hours later.
The same thing started happening in one European country.
The beast that suddenly appeared mixed in with hunters from other countries who were trying to enter a gate, and then soon emerged alone from the exit that had been created.
It was like that last time, and it’s like that this time too.
For some reason, whenever there was an exit, the Beast would come out carrying a large sack full of something on his shoulder.
But guess what?
The French authorities, who were suspicious of the Beast’s actions, investigated the blood that fell from the bag and discovered that it matched the DNA of a specific attacker.
“Lord!”
This incident turned the world’s media upside down in an instant.
The Beast was taking the Hunter’s body!
Regardless of why they do such things, if things go this way, scary assumptions will inevitably arise in your head.
-Surely, then the reason why the Hunter Team has been annihilated until now…?
This is truly a global emergency.
If the Awakened Beast, who is always ranked high among the S-class Hunters with high combat power, turns out to be a murderer, then there can be no worse news for humanity.
So people around the world hurriedly started to track down the Beast.
But is it for nothing that the great curiosity that solved the great disaster in Hawaii remained unknown until now?
They were never able to catch the Nuckelabi Killer’s tail.
because.
[… … As a result of the analysis by experts, it was revealed that the Beast’s awakening series is a type that interferes with ‘space’.]
There was a reason for this.
[So that’s why Nuckelabi was cut so easily. Up until now, the ability to relate to space has only been expressed as a convenient function like teleportation, but if this unknown power is used aggressively, it may be possible to cut through the monster’s hardness.]
How could I not be afraid?
The suspect who may have murdered the hunters who entered together is displaying supernatural powers that defy common sense.
That’s why Beast was able to hide his face under the mask until now.
To begin with, he’s an S-rank, so his physical abilities are monstrous. Even if he were to run and catch up, he’d just run away across the continent using the teleportation wizards’ methods.
The weak were terrified.
And at this moment, various media outlets kept calling out the name Beast… … .
***
Beast.
Who is this uncooperative mystic?
“hmm.”
I was drinking iced green tea and then I belatedly started to focus on my phone.
The news screen that had been delivering breaking news had suddenly changed to an interview scene with a foreigner.
‘Brooklyn Morgan.’
On the screen sits a tall hunter with a neat short haircut.
And then the woman looks in the direction of the talk show host and says:
-What is the identity of the Beast? Well, maybe it’s within our Spectrum Guild! To be honest, when I’m with Enzo, I often see him acting like a lazy ‘beast’.
Enzo. It’s a name I feel like I’ve heard somewhere before… … .
anyway.
Brooklyn Morgan was being asked by a talk show host what she thought about the Beast’s problem as a representative of the highest level of awakened beings.
But Brooklyn sat with his legs crossed, rolled his eyes for a moment, and then answered like this.
-… Enough with the jokes. Did you ask who the Nuckelabi Killer is? Actually, I have a guess about that.
-What kind of?
-I think the Nuckelabi Killer is from a non-English speaking country.
-I see.
-As you can see from the footage of Beast, he’s not just quiet, he acts like he doesn’t understand English at all. He even got burned after touching a pillar that another Hunter clearly warned him was dangerous.
-The lava giant incident, you know.
– Now that Pixie has released a translation machine, I don’t know why they still give up on communication.
Huruk.
I took a sip of tea and watched the screen with interest.
-Even if his nickname is Beast, do you think he would live in the middle of the savannah rolling around with impalas? Beast is a modern person who lives in the same era as us. Even now, somewhere, he is probably doing fine, tapping away on his smartphone and messaging his friends.
-ha ha ha.
-But when I think about it this way, one thing starts to become more suspicious.
-What is it?
-Is it really necessary for a Beast to be unregistered? Perhaps… …. They are already cleverly blending in with the citizens while hiding their awakening series?
For non-English speaking people.
S-class with hidden awakening series.
This one nodded, thinking that Brooklyn’s family was plausible.
But when I thought about it carefully, those conditions started to feel familiar.
-Wow, this is a plot I’ve often seen in movies. So, what Mr. Brooklyn is saying is this? For example, a sophisticated Asian man in South Korea may actually be enjoying a secret double life every night.
-Haha! Certainly. It would be an interesting twist if that guy turned out to be Beast.
I tilted my head to the side, holding the cup of green tea in my hand.
Even at this moment, the cheerful voices of Americans were flowing out of the speakers.
