The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 236

Episode 236. Quiet (3)

Thud, thud, thud.

There is clearly still a large distance between you and the other person, but it feels like you can hear the sound of someone walking towards you.

Sigh.

Just before the man in question crossed the gate, the archmage quickly completed his spell.

A craftsman with great original skills tends to make difficult tasks seem easy.

He casted a spell that completely hid his magical powers while simultaneously covering his voice, appearance, and smell. He finished hiding with an indifferent expression and quickly held his breath.

‘Why are you in this dungeon?’

first.

No matter how simple the road structure was, there was no way he would directly clash with Kang Chang-ho here.

The alien, whose body was covered in all sorts of magic, was already unrecognizable by Earth’s standards, so he trusted in his own magic and strode back towards the entrance…

‘No, that’s the wrong question.’

A moment later, a familiar magical hunter entered the dungeon.

The closer I got to the hunter, the more questions came to mind.

‘Why is that ‘in the dungeon’?’

Why is Kang Chang-ho here?

Despite his overflowing wealth, Kang Chang-ho did not have a single hidden item on his person.

That is, he entered with his face proudly shown to the association staff at the entrance.

The S-rank awakening value is practically a free admission ticket that can be used at any gate, so logically, this situation is not strange.

The problem is, I’ve never actually seen the other person use this.

Kang Chang-ho has never entered a dungeon of his own free will.

The third S-class’s activities were simply that when the contractor conveyed his intention to go somewhere for a raid, he would occasionally show up to protect the sacrifice.

‘South Korea’s famous job-seekers are personally going to the new gate?’

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Far away, from the end of a dark road, the sound of someone’s heavy footsteps can be heard.

This time it wasn’t an auditory hallucination.

After waiting for a moment, a familiar figure appeared through the dim light of the magic stone.

[Dragon’s Eye] also had an advantage in night vision?

Even though Kang Chang-ho entered the dark cave, he did not use a separate light source.

Like a carnivore with a retina attached to its retina, it quietly surveys the cave with its green pupils glowing.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Soon the two attackers pass each other silently.

As expected, the inferior Earthling’s body was unable to detect the great wizard hidden behind magic, but it was around the time when the one who broke the promise of the cursed item was sighing in relief.

-Whew.

Kang Chang-ho suddenly turned his head.

‘… … !’

But it wasn’t because it detected any signs of presence.

The giant kept shifting his gaze as if he was wary of something as soon as he stepped foot in the gate.

Even now, I wasn’t looking at Kim Ki-ryeo, who had become transparent, but was instead fixating my eyes on the small magic stone behind him.

‘You’re not bare-handed?’

Kang Chang-ho was holding an unfamiliar object in his usual hand.

Unlike the F-class collaborator’s pain-inflicting dagger, this is a real stake-shaped item with a crude cutting edge.

And the function is… … .

‘There was equipment like that on Earth too.’

The archmage glanced at the thin blue stake that Kang Chang-ho was holding, then quickly turned around.

It was certainly an interesting sight, but unfortunately we didn’t have time to observe it any longer.

Because all sorts of magic had been applied to his body, his magical power was continuously being consumed at a rapid rate.

If one of the stealth spells were to break in the middle of this, that stake would be driven into my body.

‘How could this be a coincidence? If by some chance you found out that I broke the contract and came looking for me… … Oh my, my God.’

In a jiffy.

He took quick, hurried steps.

-hmm.

Meanwhile, the contractor’s muttering echoed inside the cave, but the alien had no time to listen to this either.

-… … Seoul is difficult.

outside.

After escaping from the gate, Kiri returned home immediately and checked the condition of the dummy.

“Oh my.”

But contrary to my worries, the magic disruptor for dealing with the Dragon’s Eye was working very smoothly.

[0 missed calls]

[0 missed messages]

As you can see, no problems were found in other areas.

This meant that Kang Chang-ho had not noticed the contractor’s misconduct and had not entered the dungeon.

“Hmm?”

But the problem is, if things go this way, things will get even weirder, right?

A few hours later, around dinner time.

First of all, if he finds out that the clause in the contract was ignored, there’s no way that the violent ex-convict will stay still. The fact that the other party is still quiet proves that the secret he was most worried about is still intact.

‘her.’

Kang Chang-ho was a person who rarely went hunting, which made his qualifications as a hunter seem meaningless.

But just in case, I turned on the hunter-only app and checked the status of the gate.

[Nameless Cave]

[Grade: B]

[Current Status: Clear]

[List of attackers: Kang Chang-ho (S)]

As you can see, there was a sign saying that the conquest was complete.

Kang Chang-ho cleared the gate by formally going through the Hunter Association.

‘What am I seeing wrong?’

The last mutterings of the man heard inside the cave.

-… … Seoul is difficult.

I want to ask you right now why you went to the dungeon and what you meant by what you said back then.

This person completely ignored the contractor’s warning and went into the dungeon secretly. Naturally, he couldn’t say anything.

If you think about it logically, it would be right not to even know that Kang Chang-ho went to that dungeon.

From now on, whenever he brings up the topic of [Nameless Cave], I will have to desperately pretend not to know.

“under…….”

By the way, I was really, truly shocked.

Kim Ki-ryeo placed his hand on his forehead and belatedly caught his ragged breathing.

It’s fortunate that the possession phenomenon of that monster den, known as the Nameless Cave or something, was discovered sooner than expected.

If I had gone a little deeper into the dungeon, the magic would have almost been undone midway due to not being able to afford the large maintenance costs required by the stealth magic.

‘If a new sound suddenly appeared in the cave, Kang Chang-ho’s sharp eyes would have been fixed directly in the direction of the problem.’

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

I never wanted to experience such an uneasy threat again.

So, I made a promise to myself in my heart that no matter how resistant I was to the curse effect, I would never break my promise again…

‘Hmm.’

In the midst of all this, I suddenly had another realization.

Seeing the face of a mere primal sorcerer so tense, it seemed like it wasn’t time for him to rest in peace yet.

If you truly thought that it didn’t matter if you died anyhow, you would have been relaxed and at ease even in such a critical situation.

‘Wow, even after living that long, you still have the survival instinct… … .’

The eyes of the dried-up corpse gradually regain the lost culture and will.

Indeed, there were many hardships before reincarnation was successful.

I should use my young body that I have finally acquired as much as I can. Isn’t it a waste and an uneconomical choice to give up on life because of that failure?

-Rust.

I got up from my seat and started to tidy up for the first time in a long time.

A round soda-lime glass bottle rolling around on the studio floor.

This was cheap soju from a discount store that the alien who took over the body of an Earthling had previously bought.

He too was a person who had awakened in his own way, so he couldn’t learn the concept of intoxication with such a small amount, but he was able to resolve one of his questions.

To be exact, I realized why I had no memory of ever being intoxicated by the brain of the body’s owner.

The moment I took a sip of the liquid called soju.

Because he recalled additional details that had not been recovered yet.

-Oh, what is it? Kim Ki-ryeo, have you tried this before?

After becoming an adult, I bought soju at a convenience store out of curiosity.

But when I actually tasted the drink, I was surprised. It smelled and tasted like a science lab alcohol lamp, so I frowned after just one sip… .

‘I gave up drinking. I still remember using the remaining soju as a refrigerator deodorizer.’

The taste of cheap liquor is not very pleasant to this fleshly tongue.

Yes, that’s right.

He still hasn’t been able to 100% analyze even the small life form on Earth called Kim Ki-ryeo.

It is possible that the key to solving all our problems lies hidden between the synaptic connections that have been severed by depression, like this soju incident.

‘Yeah. What kind of victory is this for my topic?’

Dalgrak.

The blond man thought as he stacked the household waste rolling around the room into trash bags.

‘A scholar must do research.’

It was the moment when my original intention and motivation returned.

Like a hungry spirit, diligently eat and learn the knowledge of the planet.

With the power thus created, we will ultimately achieve complete safety.

This time, let’s live happily.

He finished his pledge and stood up, holding a bag full of trash in both hands.

Arrogance was the wizard’s chronic flaw, but his twisted personality also had its merits, like any other living creature.

Because the speed at which I escaped from pessimism was much faster.

***

20 hours later.

Clear day.

[Me: Yoon Seung Ah]

[Me: Was the exact ending time today 1 o’clock?]

[Me: I made a reservation at a restaurant for 2 o’clock, so I don’t have enough time to change clothes, right?]

[Ahn Yoon-seung: Yes, yes! It’s 1 o’clock, hyung!! I’ll report back to you as soon as you get out of the gate!!!!]

For your information, today is a typical weekday with no plans or anything set in stone.

I sat down at my desk, checked the messages I had exchanged with a Class A Hunter, and switched to my phone screen.

“Oh my, my shoulder.”

first.

This was about 20 hours ago, when I was once again determined to live my second life to the fullest.

In life, falling is more shocking than climbing.

Perhaps because I was such a high-level sorcerer in my previous life, I was momentarily discouraged by my current situation where I couldn’t escape my low-quality body.

‘The body of an F-class hunter.’

If you think about it again, it wasn’t really that impossible to survive with Kim Ki-ryeo’s body.

Well, that’s because there are magic tools.

Just like defeating Brooklyn with the Sword of Sunset.

The [Legendary]-level treasures that exist on Earth have the potential to deal with S-level hunters.

That means, if there’s a proper legend, I can stop Kang Chang-ho from trying to take my life on the day my contract expires.

‘hmm.’

But the problem is… … .

The fact that all the legendaries that currently exist on Earth have strong owners.

The Book of American Destruction.

Jeong Ha-seong’s Sunset Sword.

And some kind of gray-white greatsword from the Kagoshima raid.

Actually, there is a possibility that the legendary Japanese sword will be put up for sale later, but it is not something that I, an F-rank, can handle anyway.

It was equally meaningless.

‘Besides, in about two years, all my lies will be revealed and my relationship with Jeong Ha-seong will be shattered. Borrowing the charged Sunset Sword also seems unrealistic.’

Hahaha.

Anyway, what on earth do I do with this?

I continued to ponder, sitting cross-legged on a chair with one foot propped on the opposite thigh.

As I just thought, there was a lot to do to clean up all the empty boasts I had made in the past.

Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

But the thing about this is, if you put it off because you don’t want to do it, it’ll just end up being a bigger headache, right?

‘The top priority is to recollect magical tools. First, I need to increase my power so I can do something.’

I made a rough plan and got up from my seat.

And today, to commemorate my regained motivation, I thought I’d give myself a small reward.

‘I should eat some grilled pork belly.’

Unfortunately, Korean restaurants generally avoid single customers.

So I had a quick appointment with an Earthling for a restaurant dinner last night.

Calling that A-class again.

Anyway, is Yoon Seung easy?

That’s right.

To be honest, I can’t afford to have the number one ranking, a curse spellcaster, a two-time assault offender, etc. as my dining companions.

‘There is no choice.’

Seon Woo-yeon, who is ranked B and relatively low, is in a situation where he cannot treat people to food worth more than 50,000 won due to the Public Officials’ Bribery Prohibition Act…

Anyway, in order to eat the beef, I needed the help of that defense wizard.

I was lost in thought for a moment, then quickly got dressed and went out.

The current time is 12:30.

Since Seung-eun Yoon is a poor office worker (member of a guild), he went to work today as well according to his employment contract.

It was still quite a while until the expected completion time of the dungeon he entered in the morning, but for some reason he felt hungry earlier than usual today.

-Daughter.

“Welcome~”

“Oh my, it’s Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo.”

“where?”

So, in order to hold out until 2 o’clock, the time for my restaurant reservation, I decided to go to a cafe near my house and just satisfy my hunger.

“I’ll have a vanilla latte. No shots, please. I’ll drink it inside.”

“A shot? A shot?”

“yes.”

“Then the drink, uh… it’s just steamed milk with vanilla powder.”

“Yes, yes.”

“ah.”

Kim Ki-ryeo’s body also has a high basal metabolic rate, as befitting an Awakened Person, so there’s no problem drinking a glass of this beverage before a meal.

Normally, you can reduce small energy waste by lowering your body temperature, but it would be okay to indulge yourself by deliberately consuming high calories for a day or so to change your mood.

‘When I finally recovered my body, I realized that my body remembered the normal muscle mass, which was not bad, perhaps because I had been doing simple labor frequently before.’

If you think about it, Kim Ki-ryeo really has a lot of good points, right?

-Huruk.

I took a sip of the Earth drink that had just arrived and enjoyed the moment of leisure.

And after you finish drinking your latte.

I left the cafe and walked around the nearby streets, thinking about the good things about my body one by one.

It was a peaceful time in many ways.

“… … .”

But I don’t think it’s okay for it to be this calm and quiet.

“hmm.”

At a time when the last advantage of the body was considered to be good eyesight.

I took advantage of Kim Ki-ryeo’s special ability and checked the screen of the cell phone I took out of my pocket.
