Episode 207. Beast (5)
From my perspective, this is the first time I’ve seen the Beast in person.
However, the S-class hunter in the pitch-black uniform cut down the creature in front of him without a moment of hesitation, regardless of whether or not there were any witnesses in the dungeon room.
A being in the same predatory position as himself. He attacked Korea’s number one ranking with his skills.
A powerful defense-ignoring spell that seems to have come to be called [Designated Cut] by Earthlings.
-Jiiiiing.
Unfortunately, Ha Sung is unable to avoid Beast’s attack.
Now I see that one of the hero’s ankles is exposed, as if it had been torn off by an animal’s claws.
This is probably the result of the Beast first taking away the opponent’s mobility in order to make sure that his [Designated Cut] hits.
“Huh!”
Blood is flying.
The Beast’s incision, known to tear space, mercilessly ruptured the human’s frontal area, where the lower shoulder, collarbone, and sternum were located.
Even though I tried to avoid a direct hit with my S-class reflexes, just getting brushed by the opponent’s technique would destroy everything protecting my body and cause my blood to leak into the air.
Jeong Ha-seong eventually collapses.
Originally, I just hoped that there would be a quick death in this dungeon, but when a tragedy occurred where something that was alive died right before my eyes, it was a shock beyond my imagination.
Besides, I don’t know about other people, but that person was an Earthling with whom I had interacted directly, and who was actually a pretty good-natured person.
“Jeong Ha-seong!”
I instinctively stepped between them.
And then, in a hurry, he took the Beast’s next attack with his body.
Honestly, I still don’t know what the situation is, but anyway, if Ha-seong gets hit again in this state, he could really die.
‘Eww.’
bang!
In addition to his cutting skills that ignored the effectiveness of defensive equipment, the Beast possessed incredible strength that allowed him to single-handedly wield the massive Battle Axe, the blunt black blade of which bounced outward with a loud noise as soon as it touched my body.
Excellent repulsion power, enough to push back even an attack from an S-class hunter.
This is because the protective effect of [Sacred Tree Sapling] is concentrated on one point.
‘Okay!’
But the problem is that the effects of the seedlings are not completely invincible… …!
‘No, so what’s the situation?’
First of all, it is understandable why the Beast appeared here.
The entrances to the copycat city are all over the world, and even at this moment, the passages connecting to the dungeons are increasing, so of course there is no reason why only Korean S-classes can be found here.
But this is the only thing I really don’t understand.
Why on earth did Jeong Ha-seong get so overwhelmingly defeated? Even though he hadn’t fully grown, he was a disciple that the great wizard had personally raised for 128 hours!
‘omg.’
That was the moment.
While I was scanning the magical power inherent in the Beast’s body, I realized something secret.
Perhaps in order to hide his identity, the other party had adjusted the amount of magical power in his body differently than usual through a special magical tool.
What we are seeing here is a more fundamental characteristic.
In other words, the Beast’s shallow disguise didn’t work on the Archmage.
‘Damn! There are so many burn marks around here, but how come that guy is still fine… …!’
That was when.
“Kim… Hunter… … .”
A young man’s faint voice flowed in from behind.
Ha-seong looked surprised as if he had seen a ghost, as if he had no idea that I was in this dungeon. However, before he could fully satisfy his curiosity, he lost consciousness and collapsed.
It looks like the bleeding was so severe that the brain couldn’t handle it.
‘this!’
I knew there would be some extra healing potions in Jeong Ha-seong’s item box, but I couldn’t just try to cure him.
Because you never know when the Beast will attack next.
I took a stance, alert and ready to physically surround Jeong Ha-seong at any moment. And then this is what happened.
“… … .”
hmm.
“… … .”
Hmm.
‘uh?’
What the heck? Why isn’t the Beast attacking me?
It was a meaningless silence. For some reason, the Beast tilted its head at my appearance and froze in place as if it had broken down.
At that moment, a hypothesis that could explain this situation came to my mind, but now was not the time to discuss such things.
The condition needs to be treated.
‘Please don’t attack. Please.’
I searched through the unconscious Ha Sung’s item box and took out a familiar type of drug.
And he poured this all over the young man’s body.
A hero who passed out after the front of his body burst open and an F-class who was treating him. It’s a familiar sight, but at least there’s one thing that’s fortunate.
The wound was shallower than I thought, so at least my precious lungs weren’t damaged this time.
‘Except for that point… … . All the other elements are worse than last time.’
A cold sweat runs down my spine.
If I had known this would happen, I should have paid more attention when TV was talking about Beast every day.
Let’s look back at the situation that I had sensed before coming here… … .

It is presumed that the Beast ran in a straight line after the magical power of Jeong Ha-seong who entered the gate, and then activated its skill as soon as it saw the opponent’s face and attempted to strike first.
My disciple lying on the ground is most likely caught in a fight without even knowing what happened.
Besides, the Beast was a primitive sorcerer, so he wouldn’t have been able to identify the target just by looking at the magical power at that distance.
‘Then just by looking at the size of the awakening value, which is S-class?’
It was a moment of deep thought.
Something strange happened. The beast-masked Awakened One who had been looking over this side suddenly picked up his axe again.
And the Beast turns in the direction I am not and tries to stab Ha Sung’s neck who is unconscious.
‘No, this is crazy!’
Kang!
But this time too, the attack was blocked by the tearful sacrifice of a human shield.
The Beast tilted its face, covered with elk bones, and showed another incomprehensible gesture as I protected its lower body with my whole body.
And what happened next was an absurdly persistent standoff.
Standing around.
The sorcerer called Beast is always circling around us, waiting for an opportunity.
I tried to protect myself by keeping an eye on the opponent so that the beast’s axe blade wouldn’t reach Ha-seong.
“… … .”
“… … .”
But I knew this would happen.
“omg!”
Boom!
Beast must have gotten tired of just looking at me, so he grabbed his Battle Axe with both hands and quickly hit my side with all his might.
As expected of an S-rank hunter, its attack created an incredible shock.
To the extent that even the protective effect of the [Sacred Tree Sapling] was unable to absorb the damage and the main body was pushed away.
“Ugh!”
Bam!
But as you can see by now, the Beast never used his greatest magic, Evisceration, until the very end.
Of course, since the opponent’s cutting technique has excellent performance, the magical power consumed will also be large, so it is natural that it cannot be used recklessly.
Still, it’s strange that he never writes to me even once.
It’s blatantly weird.
So, to summarize this reaction… … .
‘For some reason the Beast is reluctant to kill me.’
The thought didn’t last long.
I decided to take advantage of this characteristic of my opponent and try to create an opening.
This is a world-class dungeon where people from all over the world gather.
So, just in case, this person was wearing Pixie’s translator from the moment they entered.
-Click.
I quickly straightened my collapsed body and pressed the big button on the translator.
In short, I pressed the button linked to the Korean-English translation function and shouted at the other person.
“Stop it!”
Then, a somewhat poor-quality English sentence flowed out from the device on his waist.
“Stop it. Please.”
“… … .”
“Let’s talk, even if it’s just for a moment. I don’t know why you’re suddenly trying to kill Jeong Ha-seong, but if you just spare his life, I will… … .”
But Beast seemed completely unaware of my request for negotiation and just focused on his work.
‘this.’
It was as if he knew that I was ‘lacking reflexes’, because he gave up on killing the pyromancer and tried to carry the unconscious hero whole.
The beast’s sudden actions are so fast that even an F-class would have a hard time recognizing them.
But as soon as its magic showed an abnormal reaction, I shut my eyes tightly and shouted.
“──Brooklyn Morgan!”
To protect the stability.
“Stop it now!”
A secret that should not be spoken of has been revealed.
Well, it’s been revealed this far, so what’s the point of hiding it now?
Beast. Nuckelaby killer. Mystic.
And the latest one that has stuck is the grandiose nickname of a threat to humanity.
The true identity of that beast with various aliases is none other than a blond foreigner I had met before.
S-class hunter of the Spectrum Guild. It’s Brooklyn!
“If I had just spit out English through a translator, you would have foolishly figured it out on your own. If you really didn’t know who I was, wouldn’t you have tried Chinese, the most widely spoken language on Earth, first?”
That was when.
The elk masked opponent listened to what I said and then slowly responded.
It’s groaning.
After a few bizarre, muffled laughs, as if a wild animal were barking, he soon began to speak to them in human language.
-How?
But before its meaning could be fully translated into AI voice, the other party took action.
She must have thought that since her identity had already been revealed, there was no point in doing so, because she coolly threw away the mask from her face.
But what appeared there was a rather unfamiliar sight.
Eyebrows and hair shaved off, leaving not a single strand behind.
A face with severe burns and melted skin all over.
But she is a young woman who still has her usual strangeness in her eyes.
Brooklyn, who appears completely different than usual, moves his mouth to speak.
This was soon translated into Korean through a translator and heard by ear.
“You’re not surprised.”
Brooklyn seems to find it quite strange that his opponent doesn’t change expression when he sees my strange appearance.
To be honest, I expected this kind of twist from the moment I first encountered Beast in person.
That American has long been known as the possessor of top-notch regenerative skills.
‘Perhaps he healed his wounds right away so as not to bleed as much as possible during the battle with Ha Sung.’
The reason Beast’s mask is bald is probably to avoid having his hair fall out and be subject to DNA testing.
‘Besides, if the face was in that state, the searchers’ skills might not have made a ‘same thing’ judgment.’
It seems that the reason Beast was not caught all this time wasn’t simply due to luck.
ha.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, following a habit stored in my body.
I tried to stop Brooklyn, but it seems like a very dangerous situation.
‘There is a 90% chance that the target will change to me to silence me… … .’
Some people might have questions at this point.
Brooklyn Morgan. How could a famous S-class healer who was even nicknamed an angel in America be a beast?
If you think about it with common sense, this is structurally impossible.
Brooklyn’s awakening ability is healing power.
And the Beast is an aggressive space interference device that is almost the opposite of this.
Because there are two revealed attributes. Usually, people need two people.
But in fact, this question was just one. It was a problem that could be easily solved if some special assumptions were made.
‘That’s a rare case.’
Brooklyn Morgan is a Hunter with two awakened attributes.
Because with that one word, all the facts fall into place without a hitch.
But if you look into it in detail, this dual attribute is actually a scary feature.
This isn’t something you can just say and move on from because you think it’s good to have more skills than others.
Magic is a concept closely related to the wizard’s imagination.
And since Earthlings have only recently become aware of magic, they tend to have attributes based on the images that are most strongly imprinted in their brains… … .
Brooklyn probably got different results than others because he had ‘two conflicting desires’ hidden in his heart.
okay.
Rather than seeing it as just a light mask like a persona.
‘Is your identity dissociated?’
Brooklyn Morgan is a primitive sorcerer who most likely has multiple psychic personalities.
If so, then from now on, there are new concerns.
Before entering this dungeon, I sent a text message to Kang Chang-ho informing him that I was entering the mock city. Based on my observations so far, our contractor starts his day around 6 AM.
But the problem is.
“hmm.”
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think an F-class would be able to last until 6 o’clock in front of an American psycho with two attributes.
Should I abandon Jeong Ha-seong even now?
