The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 48

Episode 48. Hunter Crime (3)

Did Park Jun-tae also notice that there were no pedestrians?

“Inma, my motto is to live honestly.”

He led the conversation in a relaxed manner.

Fortunately, life has become somewhat easier since I showed interest in the proposal.

That doesn’t mean things got any better.

“Anyway, you seem to be thinking about changing jobs? Hey, you’ve really thought it through! If you come to us, you’ll be able to enjoy your work, and the kids are all nice.”

The man with the neat appearance speaks with a big smile.

“Okay, then let’s talk about the details at my hideout. There’s still a lot we’re curious about for both of us.”

But even if we pretend to join the organization and avoid the crisis for now, what happens next?

Even a five-year-old knows that you shouldn’t follow someone you don’t know.

If you move the location for no reason, isn’t there a possibility that it will develop into a more complicated problem?

‘With F-class magical power, if you get trapped somewhere, you won’t be able to escape on your own!’

I felt confident.

A certain conviction that now is the only time I can escape from this guy.

So I stopped talking for a moment and fell into deep thought.

“What’s wrong? Have you changed your mind?”

“… … .”

“By the way, I broke those security cameras over there when I came here. Just so you know.”

For one thing, he is currently enjoying considerable leisure.

There is no need to rush in front of an opponent who can destroy you at any time if you put your mind to it.

“But you really were an F-class. I didn’t know until I met you, but seeing you in person, your awakening level is… … .”

It was a well-founded confidence.

In this way, that human also confirmed Kim Ki-ryeo’s terrible magical state in this place.

Park Jun-tae smiled at me, then took something out of his pocket and threw it on the ground.

‘A lump of shadow?’

I saw it briefly, and it looks like a magical tool used for fast movement.

“… Hey, you’re not actually planning on coming to us, are you?”

But about 3 seconds later.

Since I was still keeping my mouth shut, he must have noticed something and suddenly started questioning me.

“no.”

“No, that’s not true. You can tell just by looking at it.”

He takes a step forward.

This side took a step back accordingly.

“I’m really sorry, but there’s no one in our organization who can use brainwashing skills.”

“So?”

“If you keep acting like this, there’s only one way.”

Okay, let’s calm down.

There are no people on this street right now, but this is a park.

If we just widened our search a little, we could find quite a few pedestrians.

I also always carry a magic booster in my pocket.

Right now, I was using it secretly while he wasn’t looking.

‘But much slower than taking it orally.’

I clenched my fist with all my might and cut my palm with my fingernails.

If you soak the exposed blood vessels with a potion, it will be a temporary measure.

“Are you trying to kill me?”

There’s nothing I can do.

This isn’t something I can handle on my own. I need to ask for help.

I should call Ahn Yoon-seung or the police.

“Ha, of course.”

And, if they see this mess, someone outside might report it.

“I’d rather see you get caught up in a rivalry… … . Hmm?”

Corn, corn… … .

Somewhere, far away, the sound of countless trees shaking their branches is heard.

And when this sound, like a heavy rain shower, reached my ears.

“what.”

Park Jun-tae reflexively raised his head to check the direction of the noise.

I didn’t necessarily do anything like that.

Because that’s already happening.

-Gulp, gurgle.

-Clang! -Clang! -Clang… … .

-Beep be …

This is the best I can do right now.

Let me put it simply.

I cast a spell with all my might to gather all the corpses of healthy birds from the mountain behind.

“bird?”

They say they created a huge amount of noise pollution to attract the attention of the park people and the Earthlings.

-Beep beep beep beep beep beep.

-Kaaaah! Kaaaah!

“Ugh!”

A black cloud of dead birds flies in.

A tit, a wood pigeon, a crow.

The birds, gathered without regard to species, circled around me and Park Jun-tae, screaming until their vocal cords were torn.

“What are you doing!”

There were so many of them. Their wings all gathered together and a strong wind blew.

“This kid, he really wasn’t an emotional person… …!”

But actually, this is the end.

This looks flashy, but its attack power is 0?

If you control it with F-class magic power, even if you slam it into the body with these crows, it won’t leave a single scratch on your opponent.

‘Ugh.’

As expected, Mana was gone in just a few seconds.

Then, dozens of birds stopped moving and fell limply to the ground.

‘I guess this many numbers were too much… … .’

But that was enough.

While the other person was distracted by the bird, I managed to pick up the cell phone and dial 112.

‘Even if I run away, I’ll be caught right away with my physical abilities anyway. Since it’s come to this, I’m going to report that bastard even if I die. The protection of the bracelet should buy me a few more seconds!’

I took a deep breath, my heart full of evil.

Originally, I was planning to complain about this injustice towards the microphone of my cell phone.

“──Wait! Stop!”

But before I could even raise the phone in my hand to my face, a loud noise erupted from the other side.

“Please save me!”

uh…….

I don’t really understand why he’s saying what I was trying to say.

“Ah, ahaha. Let’s, uh, talk. Let’s talk.”

Park Jun-tae suddenly lowers his posture.

His face turned pale.

***

Park Jun-tae.

Or it may be marked.

From his name to his appearance, nothing about him was true, and without realizing it, the man ended up expressing genuine fear.

It’s unbelievable.

-Kaaaah! Kaaaah!

At first I wondered what kind of birds these were.

Of course, since he has several skills other than cutting, he thought he would be able to easily deal with this amount of enemies.

-Beep… … .

-Tsk tsk… … .

His prediction turned out to be spectacularly wrong.

Kim Ki-ryeo didn’t call them to show off his ability to control birds.

“…!”

A few seconds later.

In an instant the noise disappeared.

The birds that had been chirping cheerfully lost their voices and fell down all at once.

Thud thud thud.

As I watched the corpses rain down from the sky, my mind felt like it was freezing.

The power to kill a living thing without any warning or even touching it.

Because as far as he knew, there was only one skill in the world that could do this.

‘Curse series hunter… … .’

Although it is a rare series with only a handful of people, it is not surprising that there are two curse hunters in Korea.

The problem lay elsewhere.

‘The bird died instantly.’

Park Jun-tae remembered it in an instant.

Recently, I was collecting information on curse skills in order to assassinate Esther.

Curse is a typical status effect skill.

In fact, fighting with just this one thing was quite difficult.

Because usually, a curse alone couldn’t take the life of something.

At best, it may cause a slight slowdown in behavior, or a brief period of mental confusion… … .

The primal survival instinct of animals is a truly powerful defense mechanism.

But the only person on Earth who could ignore this and kill a living creature with just a curse was…

‘This can’t be happening.’

Esther.

The mass death of creatures due to a curse was something only an S-class hunter could do.

But what does this scene that is unfolding now mean?

‘This kid, what the heck… … .’

Park Jun-tae, confused, looked around in disarray.

Then an eerie sight came into view.

‘Ugh!’

Kim Ki-ryeo, the hunter.

He is looking at me without any change in emotion.

Why didn’t I notice it sooner?

On a topic that was only an F-class, the opponent had not responded at all to the death threats that had been made so far.

Literally, without even blinking an eye.

‘There really was an item that could lower awakening points this much…? Did I get tricked?’

After that, I didn’t have time to think.

Park Jun-tae shut his eyes tightly and shouted.

“Please save me!”

The mass death of birds is a warning shot.

The man is now showing off his power and gauging our reaction.

‘If you make one wrong move here, you’ll be cursed!’

Park Jun-tae pretended to surrender on the outside, but he ground his teeth on the inside.

Why did they put so much effort into saving [Night Walker]?

Curse was a skill that was particularly famous for its long range.

In other words, it is the worst match for one’s own abilities.

Originally, I was thinking of overcoming this difference with stealth skills.

If only they could quietly close the distance and launch a surprise attack, the rest would have been resolved with overwhelming attack power.

‘Ugh… … .’

Even that doesn’t work on the blonde hunter.

“Please save me… … ?”

The eyes that can recognize invisible people.

The ability to kill living creatures by will alone.

Rather, isn’t this opponent more difficult than Esther?

“Oh, hello. I’m calling to report something.”

He quietly observed the surrendered man and lifted the cell phone he was holding in his hand.

“This is △△ Citizens Park.”

Are you in your right mind to be leisurely talking on the phone in this situation?

“I have an accident right now, so please come quickly… … .”

Park Jun-tae thought his opponent was letting his guard down.

So I tried to close the distance slightly, but as soon as he flinched his leg muscles, Kiria covered her chin and the microphone of her phone with her palm.

“Don’t move.”

Kim Ki-ryeo’s attitude changed.

He lowered his voice and stopped Park Jun-tae in a high-handed tone.

At this point, I started to realize that the other person had misunderstood something.

“If you do anything stupid, I’ll make you like the birds out there.”

Kim Ki-ryeo threw out a murderous threat as if he had never been scared before.

It’s so shameless.

But Park Jun-tae couldn’t help but be fooled by this acting.

“Ah, ah, I see.”

Objectively speaking, Kim Ki-ryeo is a man with a rather cold impression.

Of course, there are not many cases where we overestimate others simply because their gaze is a bit scary… .

Because the opponent is an alien, their actions are often strangely distorted.

“I’m sorry for suddenly stopping you. Detective, how long will you be able to come?”

Just like right now.

Kim Ki-ryeo could often provoke unexpected fears.

“all right.”

He is a dangerous guy.

Park Jun-tae thought so as he looked at the man holding the cell phone in his hand.

How can he talk so calmly even though he is a high-level awakened person and has his eyes wide open?

Doesn’t this mean they don’t even consider us enemies?

‘Damn it!’

Failed to figure out the weight class. At least that’s what Park Jun-tae thinks.

Even if I were a grand villain who committed all sorts of violent crimes, my life would be precious.

In the end, Park Jun-tae took advantage of the moment when Kiryeo’s guard was relaxed and ran away.

“uh?”

It was an obvious behavior, but it couldn’t be stopped.

‘Oh no! I forgot that.’

Because the opponent escaped by riding the magic tool that was placed on the floor earlier.

A man enveloped in black shadows disappears in an instant.

I let out a sigh of relief that I had been holding back. It seemed like I had somehow gotten over it.

“Is this it?”

“Wow, what is this? Are they all dead bodies?”

“Oh my, so pitiful~”

A little later.

Perhaps because of the chaos that had erupted, citizens of the park began to gather here one by one.

As he was quietly observing this, he soon discovered a familiar uniform among the crowd.

The police came.

“hmm?”

But somehow, the person who was included as a bonus catches my eye… … .
