Episode 51. The National Hero (3)
Trapped in a dungeon.
‘The passageway is destroyed.’
In addition, all the demons that were tightly packed in the unpopular gate have transformed into boss-level ones.
Could anything be worse than this?
‘Those Minotaurs… … Those bulls, what is that? Judging by their magical power, they’re probably B-class, lower-species.’
But there is hope.
Kim Ki-ryeo glanced at the young man standing next to him with a leisurely expression.
‘I don’t know why this accident happened, but I survived anyway. Hahahaha! An S-class person got locked up with me!’
For an S-class hunter, this wouldn’t even be a crisis.
Kiryun asked the question in a much more relieved voice.
“Where can I escape to?”
Because I am a powerless F-class.
Kiryun thought that Ha-seong would protect her like they did the previous time they met.
“If you give me a place, I will stay there… … .”
But the answer that came back was cold.
“What have you been talking about since a while ago?”
Jeong Ha-seong slowly changed his expression.
A look of displeasure or disgust crossed the S-class hunter’s face.
“I have no intention of protecting you.”
“yes?”
“Whether it’s the Minotaur or the flames of my skill, you can deal with it as you see fit. Can’t a Hunter do that on his own?”
It was a disconcerting sound.
‘No, then you want me to report to Class F and figure out how to survive this mess on my own?’
Why did this person’s attitude change like this?
I was in deep thought, but after a while, one conclusion came to me.
If you think about it, there is still an unresolved rift between him and me.
Perjury of fainting suggestion!
‘I forgot because it was quiet for a while. Now that I think about it, I didn’t properly clear up the misunderstanding during the phone call.’
Is it true that Jeong Ha-seong mistakes me for the perpetrator?
He looked around busily.
But as soon as I turned my gaze, a giant monster appeared.
There is no room to step with these monsters, and if Jeong Ha-seong himself comes out like that… … .
‘Damn, there’s no safe zone?’
There is no way I could survive in the middle of a battle where S-class flames are flying wildly.
However, if you try to avoid the fire by running far away, you will come face to face with the monster.
It’s a mess.
‘This won’t work. I’m going to die if I move without help!’
He belatedly revealed the truth because he was anxious.
“Is this because of what happened last time?”
Whether it’s Kang Chang-ho’s threat or a lie, shouldn’t we just live and see?
“The incident where you fainted at the EX-class gate. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance, but that’s true… …!”
However, at the moment when Kiria was about to reveal the truth about the fainting incident.
“Are you going to say that Kang Chang-ho was the culprit? I know. I expected it.”
“Oh, you know?”
“So what?”
Jeong Ha-seong continued speaking with a dry expression.
“I don’t care about things of the past.”
“Then why are you doing this to me now… … .”
“Because your attitude is pathetic.”
Slurp.
A sharpened blade appears.
Jeong Ha-seong held the sword he had drawn tightly and warned Gi-ryeo.
“You reported to the association as an F-class, but you freely come and go from the B-class gate. Why on earth do people like you live like that? Do you really not want to fulfill any obligations at all?”
“No, I.”
“Even if there are restrictions based on rank, at best it only applies to the occasional dungeon break.”
“Mr. Ha-seong, that’s why.”
“I shiver just looking at a shameless hunter like you. Do you know how many people die every second while you’re only looking out for your own interests… … .”
“No, f*ck. Stop interrupting people!”
Kiria, unable to bear it any longer, shouted loudly.
“I don’t know why you’re misunderstanding, but I’m really an F-class! Can’t you see my awakening?”
But despite the desperate cries, the opponent’s posture did not change.
“Understood. Kim Ki-ryeo, F-class hunter. Then, at least use that analysis skill you’ve awakened to handle it well.”
Jeong Ha-seong did not trust Gi-ryeo.
Besides, what he hated more than anything in this world was hunters who were passive in conquering gates.
‘What the heck. I made up my mind and broke my promise with Kang Chang-ho! Why are you still… … .’

Jeong Ha-seong disappeared into the forest alone without saying a word.
F-Class, who was suddenly left alone, cursed at him while sweating profusely.
‘Hey you little punk! From now on I’m going to dislike every one of your articles!’
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Menacing footsteps rang out from all over.
Until just now, the presence of the S-class hunter had served as a barrier to some extent, but with Jeong Ha-seong gone, the monsters no longer hesitated to advance.
“This is rotten. I should have just hung on to Ahn Yoon-seung’s pants.”
My mouth was dry from the tension I was about to feel.
I have a feeling this is going to be a tough game of tag.
-Kaaaaaaaaaah!
-thud!
-Quazik!
“Heeeeek!”
In the end, Kim Ki-ryeo ended up running away alone in panic.
Of course, even now, somewhere, there are S-class hunters steadily reducing their numbers.
Since this is an unpopular gate, there are a lot of accumulated monsters.
‘If you touch me, I die. If you touch me, I die. If you touch me, I die. If you touch me, I die.’
Because of that, the poor F-class was in a situation like a fish on a chopping board.
“Ugh, ugh, gasp.”
For now, I’m somehow able to avoid enemy attacks thanks to my innate ability to sense magical powers.
The result of unconsciously chasing places with low monster density.
This side has also reached the center where Jeong Ha-seong is fighting.
“Oh, since it’s come to this, wouldn’t it be easier to just avoid the fire?”
For a moment, I had positive thoughts.
However, as I got closer to where the S-class hunter was, I felt an unusual heat.
“I take back what I just said.”
He stood frozen in place after seeing what Jeong Ha-seong had done.
Clearly, this area was densely forested.
But in the moment I took my eyes off of it, all those trees had turned to ash and were scattered around… … .
“Cluck, cluck!”
The firepower is ridiculous.
The only residual heat around me was hot enough to make me cough.
‘If you’re in a vague place, you’ll get swept away.’
I thought about it for a moment.
If I continue like this, I’ll get crushed to death by a monster due to my physical limitations.
In that case, it is certain that the survival rate is higher if you are near Jeong Ha-seong.
‘Looking back, that primitive sorcerer… … clearly only lit fire where his eyes were.’
Kim Ki-ryeo remembered the flaws of S-class magic.
It’s only a small blind spot, but it’s better than having no hole to dig into.
‘Okay. Let’s stick right behind Jeong Ha-seong! You told me to dodge your own skills, but you didn’t say you’d kill me if I got close, right?’
He eventually decided to approach the S-class.
But still, he was an Earthling in his own shell, so he wondered if he would burn his own people without hesitation.
‘If you cry and ask again, I might lose my temper!’
Thud. Thud.
Monsters began to run after the weak magic power of the F-class.
I quickly turned around so as not to become their prey.
The destination is behind Jeong Ha-seong.
‘Damn, I should have practiced crying for times like this… …!’
He predicted the direction of the monsters’ attacks and avoided them in various ways, steadily closing the distance.
Then, not long after, Jeong Ha-seong’s figure came into view.
‘there is!’
Hururuk.
In front of me, I see a strong pillar of fire rising.
Even at this moment, Jeong Ha-seong was killing the Minotaur without resting.
I’ve already killed many bosses, but the exit doesn’t appear. It looks like I need to kill all the monsters to escape this gate.
‘In this case, the basic conditions of the Type II gate are followed.’
I held my breath and chose the right moment to intervene.
‘Let’s see, once that fire dies down, I’ll go closer and talk to you… ‘
But at that moment.
Kim Ki-ryeo turned his head at the eerie feeling coming from behind him.
“hmm?”
There, a Minotaur with a pentagram drawn on its chest was raising its arm.
Was there such an entity?
When that thought came to mind.
The monster he was trying to target opened its eyes wide as it realized the true nature of the spell it was casting.
‘Wide area?’
Local attribute sub-skill [Stone Spike].
Soon the monster’s magic will turn this land upside down.
And of course, he had no ability to dodge the attack.
‘Oh, this is killing me?’
Sensing the immense scope of the magic, Kiri immediately took action.
Since it has come to this, there is only one way.
“Hunter Jeong Ha-seong!”
He closed his eyes tightly and ran towards the S-class.
This is a mess. If I get caught up in magic, I’ll try to solve it somehow!
“There’s someone using a wide-area weapon! Stop it!”
“Ugh! You… … ?”
At the same time, the monster’s magic was revealed.
Doo doo doo doo.
Thorns made of earth shot out towards them.
Jeong Ha-seong was flustered by the attack that came out of the ground, and he quickly fired his skill.
Whoosh… Boom!
Soon, the sorcerer-type monster was turned into a pile of ash by Ha-seong’s skill.
“town!”
However, a small accident occurred during this process.
“…!”
Jeong Ha-seong hurriedly used his skill, thinking he had to cancel the enemy’s attack.
Each of his awakening skills had great power.
Especially in such an unexpected situation, there was no time to control one’s strength.
“You, what is this all of a sudden… … .”
The explosive firepower of the S-class hunter did not stop at killing monsters, but also caused secondary damage.
“Kim Ki-ryeo, the Hunter!”
Kim Ki-ryeo was caught up in his flame.
Even though I had anticipated this situation and ran as fast as I could to put some distance between me and the Minotaur.
‘If it hurts too much… I can’t even scream.’
Kim Ki-ryeo suffered severe burns on his right arm and leg. His favorite clothes were blackened and stuck to his wounds.
He held his breath as he felt intense pain for the first time in his life.
‘it hurts!’
But at this moment.
It wasn’t just one person whose complexion turned pale.
“The arm… … .”
Jeong Ha-seong stands frozen in place after seeing his opponent’s burns.
He seemed speechless and couldn’t form proper sentences for a while.
***
It smells like burning flesh.
“Kim Ki-ryeo, the Hunter!”
Someone else got caught up in my skills again.
“The arm… … .”
Jeong Ha-seong couldn’t say a word.
Why did you suddenly pop out?
Didn’t I warn you to avoid it like that?
Even though he could have brought up such a complaint, his mind went blank and he couldn’t think of anything.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
I just felt a burning sense of unease.
“Hurry up and give me the restorative medicine… … .”
This was a trauma that Jeong Ha-seong had been carrying for a long time.
Because he was always worried that his excessive power might hurt someone.
“Mr. Kim Ki-ryeo, are you conscious?”
Ha-seong approached the fallen man urgently.
But he was taken aback by the response that followed.
‘uh?’
The Awakened One who raised his head had a rather inorganic expression.
How can this be?
‘You got burned and you didn’t even blink an eye… …?’
While Jeong Ha-seong was flustered by his opponent’s calm appearance.
The Awakened One with the cold eyes slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s nothing. I’m fine.”
Jeong Ha-seong seemed even more embarrassed by those words, but Gi-ryeo’s attitude did not change.
Here the characteristics of the Alpha Urinians are revealed.
Since he was a great wizard in his past life, this alien is also somewhat steeped in the belief in the omnipotence of magic.
‘The shell is burnt. But if I just suck on the amplifier, it’ll be fixed in a day.’
Alpha’s wizards are not particularly concerned with injuries.
The body is a kind of carrier of the soul.
If it’s still alive, it can be perfectly repaired with magic at any time, so what’s the problem if it’s a little torn or burned?
‘Besides, this is my own doing. I jumped in to get Ha-seong involved.’
He briefly glanced at his own horrible burns.
“I’m the one who’s sorry. I suddenly rushed in.”
And I just brushed it off as nothing.
