The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 240

Episode 240. The gluttony crisis (4)

Seon Woo-yeon felt as if the blood in his entire body was freezing.

It was terrible.

I guess the saying that your mind turns blank is exactly what this situation is about.

Kim Ki-ryeo in the front was lying on the ground with stab wounds all over his body, as if he had entered and exited the Iron Maiden.

There was also a thorn board covered in what appeared to be human blood on the door next to the hallway.

So, is it possible that Kim Ki-ryeo was pierced by something like that?

Because the traps in dungeons are usually filled with that kind of poison.

Even the toughest hunters who enter the nest according to the monster’s level. They often have the property of immunity penetration so that they can be killed with traps.

“… Huh!”

Seonwooyeon was panting for breath.

“Huh! Ki, Kim… Kim Ki-ryeo Hunter.”

She ran towards the hunter in front of her with a pale complexion.

But even if I call your name.

I grabbed the other person’s shoulder and shook him, but there was no response.

Soon, Earth’s unique emotional expression appeared on Seon Woo-yeon’s face.

That is, some fluid leakage occurred through the almond-shaped tear duct.

“This, this, this is… … .”

Seonwooyeon looked back at the awakened people who had come with her with tears in her eyes.

But their reactions were no different.

Esther’s skin turned pale and she had her mouth covered.

Jeong Ha-seong’s expression did not change, but he answered through the magical power in his body that was running wild and chaotic to the point that he could not control it.

“her.”

Someone’s vocal cords trembling.

Among them, the person whose way of thinking was closest to that of the Alphauris. Esther barely managed to come to her senses and poured the medicine she had on hand into the patient’s affected area.

Is it because it’s been so long since I got hurt?

Or maybe it was because the person lying in front was no longer a living being, so it had no effect.

Somehow, just looking at it, there was no feeling at all that the man’s wounds were healing.

The fluid that had been gathering in Seonwooyeon’s eyes could not bear the weight and fell to the ground.

“Ugh.”

She cried.

But this was actually a phenomenon that should be seen as a shock and a reflection of it rather than sadness.

Despite all the events they had been through, perhaps because of their innate personalities, Seon Woo-yeon and Kim Ki-ryeo still had a fairly business-like relationship.

So, in Seonwooyeon’s view, this scene felt like the death of a manager from the next department whom he occasionally ran into.

And yet, she suffered such a tremendous blow.

I was so scared that my face completely changed.

Iron Man, who didn’t show any sign of hesitation even when standing in front of a cannibalistic fairy who spoke human language.

And he also subdued the rampaging snake. He also knows a lot.

He was such a great hunter that even I, who had no particular interest in strength, looked up to him from afar.

The object of one’s admiration suddenly appeared like this. How could one not be afraid?

Even the wounds on his body were so serious that it was difficult for someone with a weak stomach to look at them with their own eyes.

“… … .”

Seonwooyeon held back tears again.

An ineffective response to empathize with and genuinely feel pain for another person’s injury, even though one’s brain and nerves are not connected at all.

The association staff member suddenly remembered the past incident where the blonde hunter had helped him and his hands trembled greatly.

That was when.

-ha…….

Then an even more shocking incident occurred.

While Seon Woo-yeon was sobbing and lowering her head.

… The man who looked like a corpse was slowly taking a deep breath.

“Whoa!”

“Why, why are you like that… … .”

“Mr. Seonwooyeon! Look over there. Over there! Kim Hunter opened his eyes!”

“Huh!”

The surroundings suddenly became noisy.

Now that I look at it, the healing potion Esther just used has started to take effect, and the wounds are healing quickly.

The rescue team members who confirmed that Kim Ki-ryeo was alive rushed over and shouted.

“Mr. Kiryeo! Mr. Kiryeo!”

“Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo!”

“Hey, are you okay? Are you awake?”

A blonde hunter turns his gaze at a loud noise that is painful to the ears.

‘Oh, that’s a surprise.’

As he safely returned to his original body, he was surprised to see the faces of the hunters who had come right up to him.

I quickly stopped controlling the monsters because it was so noisy. I never would have guessed that S-class hunters would be causing such a ruckus.

Cough, ugh.

I guess the broken rib must have pierced my lung when I was trapped.

He quickly spat out the phlegm that had hardened in his throat and spoke his first words.

“You guys came quickly.”

“Is now the time to say something like that?!”

When Esther raised her voice, I raised my eyebrows in reflex to be surprised.

Because of his natural nature, he often had difficulty understanding the context of expressions, as if he were a real psychopath here and not a joke.

That sight of her screaming with her face red and wrinkled.

To the aliens, the current emotions of Earthlings were interpreted as a bit of anger rather than worry or relief.

‘Are you angry?’

But at least Kiryeo had the intelligence to guess why the sorcerer would be angry.

So he quickly came up with a hypothesis and let it slip out of his mouth.

But that wasn’t the correct answer.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I said I would hold out inside as long as I could, so you must be surprised to see me like this.”

“What did you say?”

“I tried to open the door in a hurry and ended up making a slight mistake… … .”

Check a few times to make sure your forearm is moving safely, then point your body in one direction.

“As you can see, I’ve fallen into a trap. No, but it can’t be helped that hunters who use the unlocking technique are more likely to fall into traps than others… … .”

Mumble, mumble.

He offered his deepest apologies for failing to properly fulfill his role as a collapse prevention measure.

He knew the number of monsters in this dungeon from the time he set out, so of course he wasn’t being sincere.

Just because he wanted to avoid being criticized by monsters like S-class hunters, he somehow downplayed his mistakes with useless excuses.

‘crazy.’

However, most of Kim Ki-ryeo’s actions and statements had the opposite effect.

With each new sentence that flowed from his mouth, the rescue team’s cortisol levels rose by the minute, meaning their blood pressure rose.

In other words, the fourth S-class hunter in Korea has appeared as a piece of steel plate riddled with holes.

What author in this place would take issue with such human sacrifice? What on earth is wrong with that guy’s brain?

“… … .”

“… … .”

This was usually the reaction of the planet’s inhabitants when the central body caused the phenomenon of ice.

Kim Ki-ryeo’s rational attitude came across as a huge gap to them.

Jeong Ha-seong had already felt this emotion deeply during the [13th Month Labyrinth] incident, but the other two companions finally realized it in a corner of their hearts when they reached this situation.

“What’s wrong with you all? Did any of you get hurt on your way here?”

That hunter, there’s something really wrong from the very root level.

To the point where it was difficult to package him as something like strength or coping skills, everyone in the room noticed that he was a stranger.

However, that doesn’t mean that all the souls in front of you are from binary star systems.

The outsiders of the Earth simply digested the current strangeness in their own way.

The first to recover from the shock was Esther Seo, ranked second.

“Mr. Kiryeo. For now, try not to talk. You’ve been coughing up phlegm in your throat for a while now. Isn’t there something seriously hurt inside you?”

“Not to that extent… … .”

At that time, a conversation was flowing between S-class hunters.

Seon Woo-yeon took out a handkerchief with a pale face and carefully wiped the blood flowing down Kim Ki-ryeo’s chin.

That action caused me to turn my head for a moment, and I belatedly realized something in the Earthling’s eyes.

‘Tears? Could it be because you saw me get hurt… ?’

Is that all?

The wound is one, but the people who are in pain are two. The alpha-uri thought for a moment, thinking that there is no other mammal that is more wasteful.

The unique sensitivity displayed by Earthlings is certainly an interesting phenomenon that I would like to analyze a little more, but unfortunately, there is no time for that right now.

He stopped observing Seonwooyeon’s face and rolled his eyeballs inside his eyelids for a moment.

And after confirming that the connection with the six-legged amphibian (temporary golem) was completely severed, he quickly told his arriving colleagues.

“… … Anyway, now is not the time for us to be like this.”

He asked me to go and help Ahn Yoon-seung.

“If you go inside this door, you’ll come across a fork in the road. If you turn left, you’ll quickly feel Hunter Ahn Yoon-seung’s magic. Please rescue him first.”

“No, the person right in front of me is in this state! How can we do this!”

As soon as Esther shouted, Kiria immediately refuted.

“It’s okay. It wasn’t a fatal wound to begin with, but thanks to the expensive potion you gave me, I’ll be able to walk on my own in just a little while.”

“Mr. Kiryeo.”

“No, and when did I tell you to leave people behind? Why can’t Hunter Seonwooyeon just carry me and the other two S-ranks fight the monsters in front?”

In this way, we will be able to deal with various unexpected situations.

The current Kim Ki-ryeo was a seriously injured person who would obviously take a long time to recover from no matter how much medicine he used.

If we only consider efficiency, there was nothing wrong with what the blonde hunter said.

The problem is that these are words spoken very indifferently by a man whose body was half destroyed.

“Go to sleep, I’m in a hurry. Hurry up.”

A chilling temperature that sends shivers down your spine.

Seon Woo-yeon looked as if he was about to ask, “Me?” in response to Gi-ryeo’s statement that he should be transported.

But the confusion didn’t last long. All of the people with superpowers here were heroes who had experienced all sorts of disasters.

So, I know from experience that rescue is a race against time.

“Okay. Then, let’s head towards Neo Team 3 right now.”

“Mr. Seonwooyeon, the tracking skill effect is over, right? Please reactivate it immediately.”

They were confused, but eventually they made a hasty decision.

At this very moment, he began to run towards the survivors in the dungeon who were desperately waiting for a helping hand.

And at this time.

A loud thud echoes from inside the long hallway beyond the door… … .

***

It’s a familiar tension.

This oppressive feeling that makes you feel like you’re suffocating, like an Earthling lost alone in space.

-thud!

A young man with typical almond-shaped eyes readied his shield at the sound of a loud noise coming from somewhere.

This is the inside of a strange world.

The three regular teams of Neo Sisters were originally challenging the A-class gate called [The Heavenly Labyrinth], but the morning’s work, which was easy enough to have a set strategy, quickly turned into this disaster.

-Tick.

[Unidentified Gate]

[Description: No gate information.]

[Rating: S]

“No matter how many times I check, it’s the same.”

From an old and classic atmosphere like the Inca civilization to a bright and menacing one like gold.

Ahn Yoon-seung looked up at the changed dungeon ceiling and said a word.

The team leaders of the three teams standing behind him hit back while holding their heads.

“Yeah. I tried not to talk about negative things like this. I think we’re doomed.”

Even the most skilled A-class elites have a hard time guaranteeing survival against enemies at the highest gate.

“Everyone, let’s go a little further into the hallway. The monster we saw earlier is following us.”

“Hey.”

Fortunately, I have a teammate with a color-related auxiliary skill, so I’m somehow able to avoid monsters.

What difference would it make if I bought more time?

This is a S-class nest, so what if support from outside takes more than a day?

“Ugh… … .”

One of the team members groans in pain as he cannot overcome the burden.

This atmosphere of fear spread throughout the surroundings in an instant.

But this time.

A young man standing in the line turns his head toward them without breaking his posture.

That defensive hunter often turned his back on his comrades due to the nature of his awakened attribute.

So, it was a surprisingly unfamiliar sight to see each other face to face in a dungeon like this, but the expression on the young man’s face was exactly as usual.

“Don’t worry, everyone.”

Ahn Yoon-seung was smiling.

Of course, this was not an attitude of blindly trusting one’s own defensive capabilities.

I don’t know if it’s luck or bad, but the three regular teams in this spot had a rare appointment before coming here today.

“We will definitely be rescued.”

“Yoon Seung-ah… … .”

“We’re the team that was supposed to have lunch with that Kim Ki-ryeo hunter, right?”

The other party will be desperately looking for us, if only to hold us responsible for the restaurant reservation cancellation fee.

Yoon Seung made that joke with a hint of laughter. Cold sweat kept running down his face due to embarrassment and nervousness, but his willpower was not broken.

“Let’s just hold on a little longer.”

He trusted his one and only mentor.

At the same time, the fourth S-class in Korea imitated the calm attitude that was usually seen in the dungeon.

-thud!

Although I tried my best to hide my body, at some point, the smell of human flesh was detected by monsters from another world.

As long as you don’t die, as long as you endure it well.

I’m sure ‘that’ hunter will come to support you.

“I guess it doesn’t have such a good nose since it doesn’t come straight towards us.”

“Should I use the ice skill to lower the surrounding temperature a bit?”

“No, that won’t work. If the enemy is a monster sensitive to magic detection, it could actually have the opposite effect… .”

In this way, the three regular teams of Neo Sisters continued their calm escape, like knocking on a stone bridge, based on their strong faith.

Moreover, soon their persistence began to bear meaningful fruit.

-thud!

‘Huh? What is it? This time, the sound suddenly got a bit closer… … ?’

Just when I thought the S-class boss monster’s territory marking-slam-noise had gotten louder.

Tata-tata-tak.

From across the hallway, noises that were presumed to be the sound of human footsteps began to be heard.

“uh?”

And when I turned my head towards the direction where the sound was coming from, the Awakened ones, who felt like a ray of light even in this murderous nest, soon appeared.

“Hey!”

“oh!”

“Oh my god, oh my god…! Wow, I almost screamed without realizing it.”

A hunter covered from head to toe with a long white coat.

At the same time, a dark-skinned second-in-command appeared next to me.

The two leaders of the industry with legendary powers are rushing towards them. The Neo Sisters hunters who encountered this picture all gaped in amazement.

It’s a top-tier abnormal mutation gate. Honestly, I never dreamed that the rescue operation would be completed this quickly!

‘My brother took action!’

As expected, Kyeryeo hyung!

Sparkling bright.

Yun Seung-eun rolled his eyes, greatly moved by the appearance of the S-class hunters. He reflexively turned his gaze to find the person who had just come to mind.

But for some reason, the golden hair was nowhere to be seen, and the rescue team that appeared, instead of welcoming the survivors, suddenly started shouting with a stern look on their face.

“Ahhh! Oh my god, everyone fall back!”

“Everyone, please move to this hallway and stay at least 2 blocks away. Those with healing abilities, please wait separately in a skill-applicable range! Now!”

“I’m really sorry! But our direction has already been recognized!”

Huh?

By the time the survivors had a blank expression on their face.

Suddenly, a maddeningly fast beat of footsteps echoed from the right hallway connected to the room.

-Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The hidden trait of the leader of this nest is [Giant-killing].

In short, those sand-colored reptiles were a race that absolutely hated the idea of a ‘stronger’ or equal entering their territory.
