The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 6

Episode 6. Strange Mutation (2)

You might wonder what a robot vacuum cleaner is like, but it’s actually quite accurate.

‘There are golems on Earth too! What an amazing discovery. Other intelligent beings are also utilizing this convenient system!’

Golems were inseparable from our Alphauri’s daily life.

Because clay figurines powered by mana had infinite uses.

Do housework. Run errands. Do construction work. Talk to me. And even soldiers for unmanned warfare. My hometown was a country built on the labor of golems.

‘Even my major is [Weapon Golemology].’

I tilted my head leisurely in front of the golem.

‘Aha~ Now I know why there were no monsters here.’

A small conclusion was reached soon after.

Of course, the most classic role of a golem is as a security guard. And having a guard means…

This is private property!

The person who owned this land placed a golem there to prevent theft.

‘Oh, so I came in without even knowing there was an owner at the gate?’

After understanding the circumstances, I walked towards the golem and thought.

‘I can’t just leave quietly since I woke up the guard. I have to deal with that first.’

The fallen hunter was looking at me with eyes that said he couldn’t believe it.

Maybe it’s because they’re acting so relaxed even when there’s a giant monster right in front of them. But I’m used to this kind of situation.

‘Well, he’s an Earthling. Then I doubt he would have come in without knowing that this was private property. Could it be that he’s a thief rather than a hunter?’

I ignored the fallen hunter and stared at the golem.

‘What kind of stupid thief in the world doesn’t know how to turn off a golem?’

If you come this close, it’s enough.

I faced the golem and gently stretched my ankle.

Why did I close the distance to that dangerous guard? It was to execute an emergency stop. All autonomous golems have a stop command in case of malfunction.

-Kikigigigigigi.

Normally only the golem owner and creator would learn emergency stop for security reasons, but I am an expert in this field.

You can tell how to stop a crude model like this with just one look.

‘Let’s gradually find out how the Earth’s golem has a similar structure to the golem from my home planet.’

The emergency stop input formula I figured out was simple.

The moment the golem, recognizing the intruder, swung its arms, I dodged the attack by taking a large step back as if I had prepared myself.

Then the golem’s arm struck the empty ground.

Taking advantage of the gap created by the golem raising its massive arm again, I quickly ordered an emergency stop.

Knock, knock, knock.

The large jewel embedded in the golem’s hand. That is, the area where the magic perception sensor is located is quickly struck with a fist.

Up, right, down, down.

If you rhythmically apply force in the set direction of the button like this…

-Jiiiiing······.

The large orb embedded in the golem’s head suddenly glowed red, and the giant body suddenly tilted forward.

Boom! The sound of the golem collapsing was proof that my plan was working.

‘It’s easy!’

It shouldn’t have been difficult. Emergency stop is literally a function that stops critical malfunctions.

“Each!”

As the golem falls, acrid dust rises from the cave floor.

But even after the golem was defeated, I did not let my guard down and took my next action.

‘The emergency stop is a temporary measure. It will fly again at any time as long as it has the power to do so.’

How do Earthlings stop their remotes from making strange inputs on their own?

There are several ways, but I personally think the most reliable way is to pull out the batteries.

Yeah, you have to take out the batteries.

“Ugh.”

I climbed up onto the fallen golem and felt the seam on its back.

Then I put my finger in one of them and pulled it with just enough force to where I needed it.

Bam!

‘My fingers are freezing trying to open it without an extension cord. Ugh.’

After opening up part of the back, the situation was easily resolved.

Golem’s heart.

I just pulled it out.

-Woojijik!

The stem that supplied magical power was entangled in the heart and torn out messily.

But since it was something I had done a lot, I didn’t feel much excitement.

I just want to get out of the property quickly now that I’ve taken care of the guards.

***

···I might have been feeling proud because people were praising me.

Ahn Yoon-seung. He thought in his fading consciousness.

A lot has happened in the meantime. I suddenly woke up during the dungeon break I experienced at the freshman MT.

As it turned out, because his awakening level was that precious A-class, all kinds of big guilds lined up to make offers to scout him.

And I formed a team with good older brothers and sisters, and my gate conquest performance slowly increased···.

“Ugh, ugh···.”

Until now, I thought it was the result of my own efforts.

But I guess it was all just luck.

Everything disappeared so vainly that I had such thoughts.

“Ugh, euuuu······.”

That’s impossible.

It was revealed that the phenomenon of abrupt changes in the gate grade was limited to a range of two levels.

But once again, the gate that threatens humanity has become capricious.

A monster that could not be dealt with by a single A-class hunter appeared in the cave, and Ahn Yoon-seung’s team, which had been growing steadily, collapsed in an instant.

‘You told me to trust you in times of danger… but in reality, it was just words.’

The team members who thought they respected him had no intention of taking responsibility for the rookie hunter from the beginning.

No, that’s a nobleman.

Could it be that they have always been jealous and looked down on the young man who suddenly rose to fame?

‘My parents told me to be careful when I work···.’

Ahn Yoon-seung. The A-class hunter soon knelt on the floor.

All that was left was to wait for death.

however······.

In that moment, the golem suddenly stopped moving.

“Hey! @#!$# up close···.”

“Ugh···?”

Ahn Yoon-seung raised his gaze at the sound of someone’s voice.

Someone was walking towards him, but his eyes were covered in sweat and blood, making it difficult to see. Ahn Yoon-seung squinted his eyes to try to figure out who was appearing.

“This is totally&@#?%······.”

I was dizzy and couldn’t hear very well. But I could make out the shape of a person.

A man in a suit with dry eyes.

‘If I’m not seeing things wrong······.’

The man had a strange aura about him. No, it would be more correct to say he was strange.

Because it was so leisurely.

He was expressionlessly looking at a monster that even an A-class hunter couldn’t deal with.

The way he tilted his head leisurely made it look as if he was observing the golem.

“Ugh······.”

I don’t remember much about what happened after that.

Ahn Yoon-seung lost so much blood that he lost consciousness due to extreme dizziness.

Fortunately, the period of unconsciousness was not long.

Because soon a loud noise that shook the heavens and the earth woke him up.

thud!

“···Hmph!”

Ahn Yoon-seung, surprised by the fact that he had lost consciousness, took a sharp breath.

If you want to live, you have to come to your senses. With that thought in mind, I opened my eyes wide…

The sight I saw when I woke up was shocking.

“Huh!”

Because the giant golem that had destroyed the team was being trampled under a man’s shoe in a miserable state.

-Woojijik!

Kim Ki-ryeo pulled out the key without hesitation right after that.

The sight of a man in a black suit with a cold face tearing out the golem’s dirty heart was quite impressive.

‘Oh, the golem… with your bare body?’

How could he easily extract the enemy’s organs with unarmed hands?

The mysterious figure unilaterally killed the solid monster.

It was truly amazing.

That golem was so strong that even a high-ranking A-class hunter couldn’t defeat it.

Traces of fighting, bloodstains, wounds.

Even such a minor flaw was not found in the opponent. The only thing that changed while the A-class was unconscious was that the golem’s lifeline was truly cut off.

‘I can’t believe it.’

Ahn Yoon-seung swallowed his breath without realizing it.

In the distance, I could feel the man standing on the golem quietly looking down at me.

‘Wait a minute, why are there other Hunters at the gate that the Association has blocked entry to?’

At first, his appearance was considered a miracle, but as the situation calmed down, anxiety grew.

This gate is clearly off-limits for the purpose of investigating the abnormal transition. But another hunter has sneaked in?

‘It wasn’t a time to be happy about being alive.’

Ahn Yoon-seung looked up at the person approaching him with a nervous face.

He thought the most unbelievable thing in this world was the hunter he met inside the gate.

Even though he was wearing expensive equipment and was seriously injured, it was natural that Kim Ki-ryeo’s intentions were suspicious and he was scared.

‘Don’t come any closer······!’

chin.

The man who had been approaching at a slow pace stopped one step away.

To be honest, Kim Ki-ryeo had a face that could easily scare others.

The sharp, white eyes that showed through his eyes were an impression that was difficult to describe as good, even as a joke.

“are you okay?”

However, the sentences that soon came out of the man’s mouth were different from what he had expected.

“Should I help you?”

Kim Ki-ryeo extended his right hand to Ahn Yoon-seung.

Although it was a dry attitude, it was a sufficient expression of goodwill.

***

There was a time when I was afraid of this unidentified Awakened being.

But Ahn Yoon-seung soon let his guard down.

“Actually, I just found out that this is a gate that you are not supposed to enter.”

“Have you not seen the yellow lines drawn around?”

“Oh, shit. That’s the sign.”

As it turns out, this mysterious hunter had entered the cave by mistake.

After all, he was neither involved in illegal activities nor a murderer hiding behind the gate.

I felt relieved.

‘I thought you were doing something strange since you were inside the restricted gate. Well, the tape might have been placed in an ambiguous place.’

It’s still a bit strange to see her remain calm even after going through the gate that had mutated. But Ahn Yoon-seung expressed his gratitude once again.

“Thank you so much for your help.”

“Oh, yeah.”

The answer I got back was bland, but okay.

Ahn Yoon-seung walked along the road, feeling fortunate to have been saved by a kind hunter.

Soon, a faint blue light began to seep out from the end of the cave’s curved path.

“We’re here. Can you really just take us here?”

“Colok, yes. Once the signal reaches….”

As we passed through the gate we discovered, we finally came into view of the familiar mountain scenery.

“Can you help me lean against the tree? I have trouble standing······.”

As soon as Ahn Yoon-seung came out, he pointed to a tree, and the other person readily accepted his request.

Of course, Ahn Yoon-seung’s call was connected so quickly that I didn’t even have time to hear the ringtone.

-Yoon Seung-ah! Are you alive? I already contacted the association and 119! People are on their way. Just wait a minute!

As soon as the Hunter Guild he belonged to contacted them, they started spewing out words at a rapid pace.

It turned out that one of the team members who had run away had explained the situation to the company as a last conscience. Ahn Yoon-seung was delighted to hear that a rescue team was coming.

“Have you heard? The people at our company···.”

But Ahn Yoon-seung couldn’t finish his words.

He opened his eyes wide. That was because the hunter who had been by his side until just now was gone.

“Hey!”

I looked around belatedly, but there was no trace of him. He must have quietly left while he was distracted by the phone call.

The hunter left without saying anything?

This fact was shocking to Yoon Seung in another way.

“Wait a minute, you didn’t even tell me your name!”

The mysterious hunter who saved him didn’t ask for anything in return from the beginning.

But that’s just because the topic wasn’t brought up first.

Honestly, I thought that if I had come forward and said I wanted to make an example of them, they would have just pretended not to win.

But now, as if he had expected it, he suddenly disappeared?

-Yoon Seung-ah. Hey, Ahn Yoon-seung! What’s going on?

Ahn Yoon-seung didn’t have time to respond to the voice ringing from the speaker of his cell phone.

Hunter society is tough.

Because it is an industry where life and death are at stake, it is actually rare to get lucky and receive help within the gates.

But how could the kind person who saved him so easily refuse to even offer compensation?

Yoon Seung, who had finally gotten to see the famous person who was only occasionally featured on the news, picked up his smartphone with a deflated sound.

No one knew that Kim Ki-ryeo had run away like crazy for fear of being grabbed by the hair for trespassing on private property when he heard that someone was coming.

“Sir. That’s what I want to tell you······.”

The next day followed.

A single Internet article appeared in the Hunter category of the Seonhan Ilbo.
