The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 237

Episode 237. The gluttony crisis

It’s 1:13.

The expected time for clearing the dungeon that Ahn Yoon-seung had mentioned was exactly 1:00 PM.

However, since the hunters are dealing with living monsters, there are bound to be many unexpected variables.

There was nothing particularly unusual about a 13-minute error.

So I decided to take it easy and wait for the call, turning up the volume on my phone a few notches.

After that, he put the Earth machine back in his pocket.

***

A blue gate in Seoul.

People from Earth are gathered in front of a huge passageway that is about 5 meters high.

They all wore name tags on their chests that read ‘NEO SISTERS’.

But at some point, the gaze of the general public is suddenly drawn to the north of this place.

-Clang, clang, clang.

Soon after, the sound of sharp soles of sharp shoes, like iron clashing with iron, came into their semicircular canals.

“No, this is crazy!”

The person who appeared on the scene showed his face and within seconds uttered his first words that did not match his attire.

A word that Koreans often use as the beginning of sentences.

And shallow level profanity.

“What the heck… … .”

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo!”

He was about to swear again to express his annoyance, but was momentarily interrupted by a voice from beside him.

“What happened to Ahn Yoon-seung?! He still hasn’t come out?”

But stopping the swearing didn’t mean the emotions subsided.

Yes, that’s right.

This was in front of the Blue Gate, where none other than the regular three teams of Neo Sisters had entered.

Because that blue monster nest started a disaster that shouldn’t have happened.

‘f*ck!’

1:20.

1:30.

And when there was no contact from Ahn Yoon-seung at 1:45, Kim Ki-ryeo canceled the restaurant reservation and immediately contacted Neo Sisters.

During this process, he learned some shocking news.

There was news that an abnormal mutation was observed at the gate that Ahn Yoon-seung’s team entered.

‘How did it have to happen!’

But how could this be an ordinary thing when a mutation occurred not in a low-level gate but in an A-class dungeon?

An unprecedented situation has occurred.

[Unidentified Gate]

[Description: No gate information.]

[Rating: S]

According to measurements taken by Pixie’s analyzer, the current level of that gate is the highest level of difficulty, exceeding the standard range of Class A.

S-class.

Something truly unimaginable has happened.

“Ah, Team 3, which includes Hunter Ahn Yoon-seung… … . They’re still inside the dungeon… … .”

“When on earth did this situation start? Come out, please.”

“Um, we checked at around 1:19 PM! This dungeon has a lot of strategy data on our Neo side. Um, the average strategy time is pretty much set… … .”

chin.

Kim Ki-ryeo walked half-jogging and stopped in front of the gate in question.

‘Was it this big from the beginning? Anyway, the magical power flowing out is no joke.’

A den of monsters that emits a melancholy, buzzing sound even at this very moment.

The Neo Sisters staff were explaining the situation while sweating profusely at the appearance of an S-class hunter who was Ahn Yoon-seung’s acquaintance.

It was equally embarrassing.

I know this is a perfect way to hear cold-blooded words.

Honestly, even if everything else dies, it’s a bit… … that Ahn Yoon-seung becomes the prey of the spirit body.

‘this.’

Without that Earthling, who will eat with you and who will collect evidence for you when malicious lies spread on the Internet?

‘Damn it. This is such bad luck.’

The fact that a certain weak blonde has survived until now is in no small part due to Ahn Yoon-seung’s help.

Because that A-class defense hunter had a great personality and never forgot the favors he received.

He showed absolute friendliness towards the S-class who saved him.

Moreover, that convenient tendency would never have changed since then unless there was some negative incident.

‘My Earth friend whom I had worked so hard to create… …!’

I thought as I looked at the huge gate in front of me.

[Abnormal mutation].

How does the internal structure of a dungeon that was running smoothly suddenly change and the level fluctuate?

The man, who was a former archmage, had already prepared an explanation for the mutation.

Of course, the incident of the core body dismantling and fixing the food box it had laid out also happened in Alphauri.

Rare frequency.

The point is that the difficulty level tends to increase.

And when you look at various other features.

Perhaps the abnormal mutations on Earth were due to the same reasons as past disasters.

‘Ugh… … .’

When the scenario gate occurred.

Did an alien scholar compare this to the tyranny of the ‘monster’ family?

If we interpret this phenomenon in the same context, we can say that the abnormal mutation is actually an event that occurs due to the body’s tendency to ‘binge eat’.

Simply put, it’s a hunger problem.

‘Hey you little pigs with a heart of gold!’

People too.

When it’s time for lunch, I often tell myself that I’ll only eat this much rice today, but when I actually start eating, I realize that it’s not enough and end up opening the rice cooker again.

“Oh, originally I was just going to eat a little bit of pain and screams, but now that I’ve opened it up, my stomach feels empty. I guess I’ll have to make the box stronger and kill these things too.”

The centripetal body also used this mechanism to modify the structure of the feeding box.

They don’t like the act of blindly raising the strength of a white rabbit monster that was set to F-class to A-class. As the dungeon’s class changes, the structure and the number of monsters that appear often change on a large scale.

A great wizard always pours out contempt on that race, saying that they are gluttons, but in fact, there are almost no individuals with bulimia within the Kisim body.

Perhaps that was why the probability of such abnormal mutations was so low on Earth.

But no matter what, if you get caught, the probability is 100%, right?

Now, an upward mutation of the A-class gate has occurred, and not only Ahn Yoon-seung’s team, but also the Republic of Korea itself is in danger.

‘I never thought Korea’s first S-class dungeon would appear like this.’

Now that we’ve contacted the association, more experts will be coming together soon to help solve the problem.

Sigh.

Lee Cheong-ryong, a superior on the Neo Sisters side, seemed to want to deny reality as he put his arm back into the gate with the analyzer in hand.

Kim Ki-ryeo also puts his right arm into the passage.

The hands of Earthlings were dull compared to the tentacles they used in their previous lives, but now that their lungs had healed, they were able to perceive many things.

‘under…….’

The alien archmage rubbed his dry fingertips and focused on the dungeon’s atmosphere.

Then, slowly, a certain result began to flow into his nerves.

‘uh?’

That was the moment.

The blond man suddenly shouted loudly and pushed Lee Cheong-ryong, who was standing next to him, back.

“Wait a minute! Get away from the gate right now!”

“omg!”

“There’s a mob at the entrance… … !”

But he couldn’t finish the sentence he was saying.

Whirlyrick.

Immediately afterwards, inside the blue glowing passage.

Organs that gave off an unpleasant red glow poured out like ropes woven from the flesh of animals.

“Eww!”

“Hunter Kim!”

“Tentacle! Isn’t that a tentacle?!”

“evil!”

The mysterious lines that seemed to be squeezing Kim Ki-ryeo’s eyes soon began to pull hard at the enemy they had caught.

Its strength was so threatening that it could swallow an adult male weighing over 70 kg in one breath.

***

“f*ck!”

I tried to reduce the use of low-quality expressions as much as possible, but the world doesn’t seem to be helping.

Whirl!

By the time I felt something touch my eyelids, my entire body had already been swallowed up in the dungeon.

But I didn’t lose my senses and took action immediately.

These tentacles can only grab onto the head or neck of the body at best, but even then, the maximum damage caused by strangling the carotid artery can be easily avoided by the victim quickly raising their arms.

‘Even something like this is called a tentacle… …!’

Sling-!

I used my right arm to push the red string around my neck as far out as possible.

And with my remaining hand, I took out [Hydra] from the item box and struck my opponent’s torso with all my might.

A strength enhancement technique completed in 2 to 3 seconds. At the same time, lightning-like transmission of magical power within the body toward [Hydra].

Push!

The red-skinned enemy then staggers back.

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo!”

“Hey, hey. Grab that. Quickly!”

If I had been alone, the next thing I would have been a dirty, long fight, relying on poison.

Fortunately, there were several high-level Awakened beings sent from the Neo Sisters standing outside the gate, so the situation was quickly resolved without any need to wait.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Yeah, it’s okay.

If it weren’t for the sacred tree, the F-class hunter’s skull would have shattered into pieces like glitter in a snow globe by now, but whatever.

“after.”

I held my sword in my hands and thought to myself, making sure the Hydra’s blade tip would not point towards the Hunters who had entered.

I didn’t notice it before because it was so sudden, but looking at it again…

“It’s a class A monster.”

“yes?”

“This tentacle monster has A-class magic power.”

I continued my explanation.

“Well, just like in [Imitation City], you can’t blindly trust the results that come out of the analyzer.”

“ah!”

“It seems like there are a variety of monsters of different ranks here, just like other dungeons. It’s fortunate that they’re not all S-rank.”

Upon hearing this, one of the Neo Sisters guild members said something in a hopeful voice.

“Oh, what if the dungeon only has high magic power density and doesn’t actually have S-class items? There are dungeons like that often!”

Unfortunately, not to that extent.

“It would be great if that were the case, but with the color skills I have, I have a 100% chance of hitting an S-class monster… … .”

When the Neo Sisters Awakened once again showed expressions of despair.

I ran my hand over the walls of this dungeon and considered it for a moment.

‘A box opened by someone with a tendency to binge eat… … . Then, what is the probability that there is a warning here too… … .’

Originally, I had planned to come in after mentally preparing myself for a long time.

There’s nothing I can do about it, things have turned out this way.

It’s better this way.

If you were to enter here in the usual way, you would first have to report to someone according to the knight’s oath procedure.

Thinking back on recent events, I don’t think it would have been easy to accept the S-class gate this time.

‘It’s a shame that I can’t use Kang Chang-ho’s power, but there’s no time for a fight right now.’

After I finished my judgment, I spoke to the Awakened.

“Everyone, please go outside and relay the message. I’ll be in the dungeon clearing traps before support arrives. Bring in all the S-ranks as soon as they arrive.”

“yes?”

“Huh, a trap? Is there a trap in this mutant dungeon?”

“I feel like it’s probably quite a lot.”

As this person nods in response, one of the guild members makes a voice full of worry.

“You’re going to clear the path by yourself? That seems too dangerous… … .”

That’s true, though.

“I know. But rescues for those in distress are usually a race against time. Besides, once you’re in a dungeon, it’s better for S-rank hunters not to go out, so instead of just standing at the entrance… … .”

As I continued to speak, straightening the sleeves of my shirt that had become disheveled due to the chaos when I first entered.

The Neo Sisters’ personnel momentarily expressed their doubts.

Once you’re in the dungeon, isn’t it better not to come out?

But when I explained further, their eyes soon opened wide.

“I don’t know why I decided to stay. This dungeon is at an extremely high risk of explosion right now.”

“omg!”

“ah!”

When this abnormal mutation occurs, the number of monsters within the dungeon also changes randomly.

But what if the monster density determined by luck this time ‘already exceeds the explosion conditions’?

‘As soon as Ahn Yoon-seung’s team is annihilated, it’s a break.’

If I had said it to this extent, I think everyone would understand.

I spoke to the frozen Earthlings with pale faces.

If you stand here, you never know when another monster will respawn, so if you don’t have the confidence to withstand an S-class enemy, then get out.

Of course, I will try my best to avoid combat and save my life. Anyway, please hurry up and call the people from outside.

“Yes, yep!”

“Ah… Okay, I understand!”

Then, all the Earthlings who entered the dungeon all run back to the entrance.

I observed their appearance like that, and only turned my back when the magic power of the Awakened had completely disappeared.

‘under…….’

first.

Half of what I just said was a lie, so it’s a good thing the Earthlings left without a fight.

‘Because in this mutant dungeon, the number of entities is fortunately small.’

I rolled my eyes as a sentence came to mind.

I found out when I followed the man named Director Lee Cheong-ryong and put my arm inside earlier, but fortunately for me, the enemies in this dungeon were placed very sparsely.

Even F-class can avoid combat and advance forward if you just use your senses well.

‘Were there any shortages of resources?’

But, as if trying to fill that gap, various threatening traps are lurking inside.

This should be released first to arrive at the mid-to-late point where the survivors are located even a second earlier.

That’s why I just kicked out all the primitive magicians. From now on, I’m going to just use advanced magic indiscriminately.

And if I get to this point, everyone will notice.

The current survival situation of Ahn Yoon-seung’s team is…

“Come to think of it, there were five teams, right?”

I thought back to the magic of the creatures that were caught in the edge of the senses.

‘Really, Seung-yi Yoon should be thankful that he’s being eaten by me.’

Anyway, where in the world can you find such a kind collaborator?

He personally manages the money supply to ensure that it doesn’t die out easily.
