The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 76

Episode 76. Red Gate (2)

‘omg.’

The monster’s speed was beyond imagination.

I just closed my eyes and opened them, and it was already right there.

‘this!’

Because the situation happened so suddenly, I couldn’t do anything about it.

But at that time.

-puck!

The demon in front of my eyes suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, a dull, cracking sound is heard.

‘It’s gone, is it?’

I turned my head quickly and saw Kang Chang-ho’s outstretched arm at the edge of my vision.

That S-class struck down the monster that rushed at him.

Kang Chang-ho was staring blankly at the blood he had spilled while killing the monster, then he spoke in a quiet voice.

“You’re not taking any action even though the enemy is flying towards you… …. Is it okay to assume that you’re testing me to see how I’ll react?”

Honestly, it’s ridiculous.

This one just had poor body vision and couldn’t follow the movement.

“No. That can’t be.”

I immediately denied what he said.

Then Kang Chang-ho closed his eyes for a moment, then shook off his bloody hands and fell into silence again.

‘What, what is it?’

Up until this point, I was still unsure about the whole situation.

-Shhh!

But a little later.

As Ahn Yoon-seung failed to manage his magical power and started to miss monsters more frequently, the S-class standing next to him began to gradually show its true value… … .

-Bam!

The second monster, and the third monster too.

-Bam!

This time, you volunteered to take care of it even though you weren’t even within a dangerous distance?

‘uh?’

When I came to my senses, the corpses of C-class monsters were scattered all around me.

In other words, what this means is that Kang Chang-ho has been thoroughly managing this area since a while ago.

‘Huh?’

I rolled my eyes and pointed to the corpse lying on the floor, asking a question cautiously.

“Hunter Kang Chang-ho, just in case, are you going to retrieve these bodies?”

“no.”

“Then can I take some?”

“Or so.”

At the end of that answer, an unknown emotion rose up in my chest.

‘This hunter… … is incredibly sincere… …?’

Is this the emotion of Koreans?

***

Clear weather. Green grass.

In a landscape with high saturation, people wearing dark leather clothes tend to stand out.

“Huh?”

A few minutes ago.

Ahn Yoon-seung’s face hardened when he discovered Kang Chang-ho appearing in the park.

Like most people in this industry, the young man had no desire to come face to face with that S-class.

“Why is Kang Chang-ho here… … .”

Yun Seung held his breath for a moment under the pressure created by the highest level of Awakening, but in the meantime, the thing he had been worried about happened.

The other person suddenly shouted someone’s name.

“-Hey, Kim Ki-ryeo!”

Korea’s third S-class is a character who has always been known to only show interest in strong people.

So, naturally, attention will be focused on that hunter now.

‘Ugh, as expected, I’m picking a fight with Brother Kiria… …!’

Yunseung looked around with a worried expression.

But what the heck.

It seems that Kang Chang-ho didn’t just pretend to know his opponent because he was strong.

“Mr. Changho, welcome.”

What happened?

Kim Ki-ryeo naturally greeted the S-class who appeared.

As if he knew he would show up.

‘Have you become any kind of friends in the meantime…?’

I have a strong desire to hear the explanation, but I can’t even look away from the gate.

Yun Seung tried hard to focus on the red gate that appeared soon after.

‘Let’s get our act together. Today is an important day to show off our skills to our benefactor!’

He took his position, assuming that the person standing behind him was one of his teammates.

“Ugh!”

But there’s no way a single defense hunter can do a proper job of hunting.

A little later.

A monster that I couldn’t tie up escaped to the rear.

Normally, I would have immediately deployed a defensive shield against my colleagues at this point… … .

‘I guess that’s not necessary now.’

An Yun-seung immediately canceled the skill.

That monster is basically on its way to its own grave right now.

‘Poor thing.’

A few seconds later.

Suddenly, he became curious about the words of the monster that escaped. He glanced around to check behind him.

‘Huh?’

But the sight that followed was so shocking that I almost dropped my shield.

-puck!

‘A C-class monster… … Kang Chang-ho takes care of it?’

What is this?

Even after that, Yoon Seung checked the rear from time to time, but the situation was always the same.

‘That’s ridiculous!’

The blonde hunter was just watching with an indifferent expression.

Kang Chang-ho, who was nearby, took the lead and eliminated all the monsters coming from the rear.

‘Not anything else, but ‘that’ Kang Chang-ho?’

Kang Chang-ho was a top-level awakened hunter, but he was also a thoroughgoing self-righteous hunter.

A typical example is that he was a person who never responded to the association’s calls even though it would have resulted in a huge penalty.

Even the government has given up on borrowing Kang Chang-ho’s power.

But how can someone like that help others so obediently?

‘Is this really the S-class I know?’

From Ahn Yoon-seung’s perspective, it was difficult to guess that they were entangled in a contract for [improvement].

So, he tries to understand the situation based only on the information he has, and ends up making a big mistake.

‘S, really, you’re saying that Hyung-nim decided to use this opportunity to clearly establish the order of precedence… !?’

Would that belligerent S-class have left a powerful person like Kim Ki-ryeo alone until now?

Clearly, Kang Chang-ho must have been picking a strong fight with Gi-ryeo while I wasn’t looking.

And maybe, Kim Ki-ryeo was tolerant of this person, but when the other person crossed the line, he mercilessly trampled them down.

No, I’m not just guessing that it might be so, but is it really so?

A gap so great that you can’t even open your mouth.

If you want to make the world-famous Kang Chang-ho do dirty work, that level of secrecy was necessary.

‘I really don’t think there’s any other way to explain it. Look, Kang Chang-ho is just lying down on his brother without saying a word!’

Ahn Yoon-seung was impressed.

Even the mighty power of the Hunter Association was able to defeat a weak S-class! This is so amazing that it is beyond words.

‘Wow, the more I get to know him, the more I realize he’s beyond my imagination.’

Ahn Yoon-seung swallowed dry saliva.

There was a time when I thought about teaming up with Kim Ki-ryeo, but when there is such a difference in skill level between us… … .

‘It’s hard to become a team member.’

An Yun-seung defeated the last monster with a bitter expression.

But the gloomy mood didn’t last long.

‘Then how about I become a porter?’

Because the hunter industry has a wider variety of occupations than you might think.

‘In long dungeons, there are times when you have to find accommodation within the gates. If you learn the necessary skills for that, it might be helpful to you someday…?’

That blond man is a natural hunter.

Since he is so excellent, he won’t feel the need to group up with others. He probably won’t have a hard time finding teammates in the future.

So, Seung Yoon decided to try for a supporting role on the team rather than a colleague position.

That’s because the chances of working with Giryeo were higher.

‘Let’s build up our skills! To become more worthy of being your brother’s porter!’

The intentions were pure.

He only wanted to be of help to his benefactor.

However, because I greatly misunderstood the opponent’s skills, my goal setting was slightly wrong…

‘That’s right. Right now, I can’t even reach my brother’s toes, so training is the only way to survive!’

This useless effort later.

He ended up putting Yoon Seung in the position of a monster rookie who ‘even drags a dead team by the scruff of the neck’.

***

Day 5 of the Red Gate conquest.

“Ugh!”

bang.

The sharp thorns surrounding the monster’s body shattered mercilessly as they struck the silver shield.

When the thorns were scattered in all directions.

Ahn Yoon-seung brought his mace down on the monster’s exposed skin.

Then, with a “Crunch!” sound, the monster split into six pieces.

Another one, hunting a monster.

‘Are you getting better and better?’

But it wasn’t a particularly surprising scene.

I’ve been sick and tired of watching Ahn Yoon-seung work for the past five days.

‘Is this already the fifth gate?’

We originally started out safely hunting at C-class, but now we were gaining confidence and were confidently soloing B-class.

however…….

‘Swoop.’

To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the B-grade.

If you just keep eating those A-grade gates that have the lowest difficulty but offer the best rewards, it wouldn’t be a dream to make 2.6 billion in one go.

‘Honestly, even if a B-class hits the jackpot, it’s hard to get a lottery-like return.’

I smacked my lips as I looked at the red passageway across the street.

Is it too presumptuous to think that it would be nice if that were a Grade A gate?

-Crack!

As you can see, I have such a strong bodyguard attached to me.

‘Yay!’

In the meantime, another monster passed away.

Because the hunter nearby kicked the approaching monster.

By the way, looking at it again, the reaction speed is really amazing.

I thought he was clearly joking, but how can he keep a 5m radius like that?

“thank you.”

I nodded and retrieved the corpse’s magic stone.

But Kang Chang-ho didn’t say a word and just went back to focusing on his work.

At some point, those Earthlings started bringing tablet PCs to the scene.

‘Web surfing with the gate right in front of you?’

Normally, this would be considered crazy, but is this guy an ordinary awakened person?

S-class hunter Kang Chang-ho has been carrying out his duties perfectly.

Thanks to this, I was able to recover the materials of the upper-level monsters without harming a single hair.

‘Hoo hoo hoo.’

If I had known this would happen, I would have signed the contract a long time ago!

Actually, I didn’t know that Kang Chang-ho would be this helpful.

When he said that he also had ethics, I dismissed him as a kid talking nonsense again.

‘Ugh, I lacked faith… …!’

So this is why you shouldn’t judge others by their appearance?

Even though our Changho looks like he’d be a bit of a pickpocket, he actually has a kind heart. He’s always honest.

‘If this trend continues, I’ll be able to save up 100 million in the blink of an eye.’

Sneak.

I took out the item box I had borrowed from Ahn Yoon-seung and diligently filled it with monster materials.

My hands were covered in blood because of that, but it didn’t matter.

Because if you count money, your hands might get a little dirty.

“Whew, it’s all taken care of!”

After waiting for a moment, it seemed that Ahn Yoon-seung had also resolved all the monster waves.

“Ouch! Brother, there’s blood on your hands… .”

“Oh, this?”

“I, I missed so many enemies that you ended up catching some! Sorry!”

“That’s not it.”

“No! You don’t have to be considerate because you’re afraid I’ll feel embarrassed.”

There was a brief moment of confusion in the middle of the conversation, but whatever.

“Anyway, you did well today.”

With a final word of praise, we headed into the final stages of the hunt.

Because the cleaners had to gather all the defeated monsters together to make it easier for them to work.

‘Hey.’

But at that time.

As I crouched down to pick up the monster, a shadow suddenly appeared above me. Kang Chang-ho had come closer.

“Kim Ki-ryeo.”

I guess you have something to say.

“Isn’t it small?”

While this side was silent, Kang Chang-ho continued speaking.

“Are you protesting because I’m not giving you money right now?”

“yes?”

“It doesn’t look good for a guy who normally wouldn’t do that to suddenly start stirring up the upper-level Red Gate every other day.”

He pauses for a moment to consider his words.

Although he didn’t look particularly angry, it’s common for S-class hunters to feel pressured just by standing still.

“Kim Ki-ryeo, would you like to take a break from gate raiding for the next few days?”

“yes?”

“If you push yourself like this, it’s not good for your health. You or I. As I said last time, since the contract terms are loosely written, we need to be considerate of each other in this regard.”

“… .”

“Of course, the Red Gate is a loophole in the oath, so you can do whatever you want without dying.”

Kang Chang-ho immediately gave advice.

“Just know this. I’m no more bound by oaths than you are.”

That means that he can attack us whenever he wants.

“If I get caught secretly going to Red… … then it’ll be no fun for both of us.”

After making him work nonstop for five days straight, that guy is finally showing his true colors.

‘Well, there’s nothing like overwork to make your temper worse.’

I knew it.

That my life is entirely dependent on his generosity.

One of the weak had made a life-threatening promise, but the other side was in an advantageous position where they could even afford to show small considerations according to their mood.

A one-sided relationship. Or a tilted Libra.

At this point, I could have lived with that S-class, not to mention using him as a bodyguard, but just adding unnecessary restrictions.

‘This can’t go on.’

But we have been aware of this problem for a long time… … .

“I’m sorry. I’ll correct it right away.”

I gathered my thoughts and said.

But despite his gentle outward reaction, he was secretly plotting something else.

‘Kill me.’

There must have been at least one way to prevent Kang Chang-ho from doing that.

After today’s accounting is done, let’s start preparing for that. I made that promise and lifted the last corpse.
