Episode 95. Tch, is that a barrier? (2)
‘Dust or a small bug?’
It’s really strange.
It’s definitely chilly today, but why are my tear ducts sweating so much?
But there is no time to be depressed like this.
This is none other than the center of events.
“omg!”
“How did you get in there… … !”
“Sir, are you okay?”
I spoke to the hunters outside who were shocked.
“It’s okay. Everyone, calm down.”
Since it was easy to get in anyway, I guess I can get out whenever I want.
I had absolutely no reason to be impatient.
No, rather, this is a good opportunity.
It’s easier to find weaknesses in a barrier when you look at it from the inside.
“hmm.”
I rolled my eyes and glanced at the monster in the middle of the flower field.
And then he cautiously asked the staff outside the barrier.
“Hunter Seonwooyeon?”
“yes?”
“But that monster. Does it ever make physical attacks?”
Seonwooyeon shook his head at that question.
“No. According to the registered information, Baron Hwawon is only a mental damage… … .”
Well then, the results are out.
I said, pointing backwards with my thumb.
“Then, while I’m here, I’ll take a quick look inside and then come out.”
“yes?”
“It’s easier to work that way. Maybe the barrier itself has a weak internal structure.”
At this, Seon Woo-yeon was startled and let out a sharp voice.
“No, but that’s… … .”
I could guess what he was trying to say just by looking at his eyes, but fortunately, the overall backlash wasn’t that great.
“Oh! Are you sure you can do that?”
“Anyway, if I can just break through the barrier… … .”
“Wouldn’t that be okay?”
“That’s right. Even now, brainwashing is being blocked very well!”
The other hunters seemed to agree with what I said.
The Baron of Hwawon is a simple boss that only fires mental attacks. Anyway, this situation has been going on for 3 hours already.
‘Everyone will want to finish it quickly.’
Just 5 minutes.
I left to investigate the boundary without delay, promising to return within five minutes.
‘There are so many flowers, but there is no fragrance at all.’
Four doctors, four doctors.
The lush plants blooming on the ground touch the soles of your shoes.
But I ignored all of these feelings and focused on the barrier.
‘Let’s see, the structure is roughly… … Wow, is that monster directly supporting this large barrier?’
Oh, really. No, but thinking about it makes me mad again.
How can you compare a genius like me to a speck of dust?
Even though I’m currently trapped in this crappy body due to circumstances, back in the day I really… … .
“hmm?”
That was when.
I turned my gaze momentarily to the alien magic I felt around me.
A substance that contains a large amount of mana in a small volume.
This is definitely a pattern of magic stones commonly found at gates.
‘A magic stone in a flower garden?’
I bent down and looked at the floor.
Then, what you see is a blue jewel shyly poking its head out between some flower buds.
‘oh.’
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a rare, high-quality magic stone.
Additionally, it has a unique metal prong-like ring around it, which is usually considered a good thing in the market.
‘You can tell just by looking at it that it’s expensive.’
I don’t know why this precious thing fell off, but anyway, there was no dangerous reaction…
Glance.
Other people probably can’t see what I’m doing because of the distance.
‘Hehehe. What the hell is this?’
I picked up the magic stone without thinking much about it.
I pried open the flower bud and took out its contents.

“────!!”
“Ahh!”
“My ears!”
But who would have thought that small action would lead to such a result?
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, a loud, high-pitched sound bursts out from somewhere.
And the source of the sound is none other than the ruler of this garden.
“────!”
The baron trembles all over and cries.
He was screaming loudly in the air as if he was going to faint at any moment.
‘I was wrong, Baron!’
I was very nervous, thinking that this was a bad sign, but what followed was an even more absurd sight.
bang!
What the hell is going on?
The flower garden baron suddenly turns to dust and disappears.
Moreover, the flowers that were in full bloom withered in an instant, and even the barrier collapsed in the end.
“what?”
It all happened in an instant.
“her?”
That too at the same time I pulled out the magic stone.
***
At this point, even if you don’t like it, you’ll know it on your own.
That magic stone was none other than the monster’s power source.
But since the F-Class suddenly removed its power, the Baron must have suffered from a sudden energy shortage… … .
-Let’s see, the structure is roughly… … Wow, is that monster directly supporting this large barrier?
But as I said before, the monster ‘directly’ maintained the barrier with the mana within its body.
In other words, a situation where a huge amount of mana was being consumed from the body on a per-second basis.
‘ah…….’
So what… … .
To sum it up, yes.
The Baron of Hwawon died after his magic power was sucked out by the barrier he had set up.
It was a violent death that was practically close to self-destruction.
‘What is this kid?’
If this were Alphauri, wouldn’t this probably be one of the three stupidest deaths?
[Magic Stone -> Flower Garden Baron -> Barrier]
No, if you connect it like this, of course an accident will happen.
[Magic Stone -> Barrier]
If I had supplied energy directly like this, I wouldn’t have died. In fact, the development of this story is easier.
That is, this is a completely incomprehensible thought process from the perspective of a great wizard… … .
‘What the heck?’
Let’s say that the use of magic stones is inefficient.
Then why on earth was such an important item strewn about in a flower garden?
‘Isn’t there such a thing as survival instinct?’
Kim Ki-ryeo was very puzzled by his opponent’s sloppy behavior, but in fact, it was his mistake.
The Hwawon Baron had also made some preparations.
-flower garden?
First of all, the monster made over ten thousand flowers bloom within the barrier to protect its power source.
It means that the stone was wrapped in petals that block magical power and its position was changed frequently.
-Hehehe. What the hell is this?
But some clueless and capable archmage saw right through this.
“────!”
Moreover, the last attack that Baron Hwawon made just before he died was blocked in vain.
Even if you squeeze out all your strength, in the end, its attack method is mental magic.
“────!”
Even the strongest brainwashing that would cause a Class A to collapse foaming at the mouth did not work on this Hunter.
‘Ugh, it’s noisy!’
A B-class monster could not interfere with Kim Ki-ryeo’s mind from the beginning.
The man’s brain is larger and is being controlled by an unknown entity.
-bang!
In this way, Baron Hwawon felt his brainwashing being bounced off and died a helpless death.
That was all.
“phew.”
But how would we understand that complicated situation?
Kim Ki-ryeo thought that this was just a stroke of luck and didn’t think much of it.
“Anyway, it worked out well… … .”
But at that moment.
“Huh?”
The Awakened ones who were outside the barrier came running in a hurry as if possessed by something.
“Hunter! What on earth did you do just now?”
“Wow, in an instant, Baron Hwawon… … .”
“That’s a guy that we can’t take down at that speed even if we all rush in!”
What followed were parrot-like questions.
How did you kill the boss? Why did the barrier disappear? What did you do just now?
I blinked my eyes trying to catch up with the sentences that poured out in an instant.
“Why don’t you just die on your own?”
“yes?”
“He died without doing anything. All I did was pick up the magic stone… … .”
But in the middle of the conversation I was trying to have, I felt a strange gaze and quickly stopped talking.
-Click.
This sharp shutter sound.
I had no idea what that meant right after I was reincarnated, but now I have a rough idea.
‘camera!’
Someone is taking pictures nearby.
“hmm?”
Besides, it wasn’t that difficult to find a photographer.
I turned my head a little and saw an Earthling running towards me from afar, holding a camera the size of a cannon.
“I’m a reporter!”
“Wow, you’re not a hyena. How did you know the boss was dead and come here right away?”
“Has the restrictions outside already been lifted?”
As soon as he heard the word ‘reporter’, his face hardened.
‘Kidnapping verse 3 is not allowed… … .’
Haven’t we already learned over and over that there’s nothing good about being famous as an F-class?
Of course, I was prepared to lose some face since I was at the scene of the reported incident, but I still didn’t have the courage to talk to the reporter.
“Huh, huh! Hello, Hunters! Can I interview you for a moment?”
So, while the reporter was talking to the A-class hunters, he quietly finished preparing.
“So how did you defeat the Baron?”
“Oh, that’s not us, that’s the appraiser over there… … . Huh?”
To put it simply, it means that it popped out.
***
That evening.
YTV’s 6 o’clock news featured a report announcing the defeat of Baron Hwawon.
[The suppression of the Flower Garden Baron that started this morning has finally ended.]
But the Internet’s reaction was lukewarm.
Thanks to the efforts of the hunters who were dispatched today, the incident was safely resolved.
Because people didn’t necessarily show interest in such plain content.

[Happy : 2] [Sad : 0] [Angry : 0]
In the end, follow-up reports on the Hanshin incident recorded low views and were buried in a sea of information.
however…….
[Comment 88]
This article here has sparked an explosive reaction, in contrast to the article.
Results of the hunt for the Baron Hwawon.
Why are people so interested in this when it’s clearly the same topic?
The reason was right in the text.
This SNS post was, to be precise, correcting incorrect reporting by the media.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Wow YTV News;;
I saw you after a long time because you said you were coming out
This is just ‘the hunters who went out are the boss
He said, ‘I caught it’
It’s a total flop lol
Then, I roughly pieced together my interview
If you send it out like this, people will
You probably thought I caught the boss~~
Baron, we didn’t kill him!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The name of this account, Gukpulne, was a nickname used by a certain A-class hunter in Korea.
As he is an Awakened member of a famous Hunter team, it is only natural that his posts would attract the attention of netizens.
[Oh my goshㅠㅠㅠ Didn’t your team catch the boss?]
[Then who will kill?]
The number of comments on the post began to increase little by little.
[Some emotional man came and killed me in 3 seconds.]
[Did you drink, bro?]
[It’s true;]
[?lol]
[No, seriously, what kind of emotional person just cut off the boss for 3 seconds and walked away? When I think about it again, I can’t believe it either, lol]
The A-class hunter slowly recalled what had happened that morning and wrote down his thoughts.
[During the day, I was doing a live show with the B-class members, saying that we would break the barrier, when suddenly an association employee brought someone over. But when I listened to their story, I found out that they were emotional people. They said they came to use their analysis skills.
So I thought it might be like that and was just watching for a bit… … .]
[yep]
[Why did that emotional person suddenly break through the barrier?]
It was really shocking at that time.
Because an unidentified man passed through the iron fortress that even Class A couldn’t do anything about as easily as breathing.
‘What kind of skill did you use?’
Early stages of the situation.
Because they did such a good job of evacuating civilians, they actually failed to notice the conditions for passing through the barrier.
As information became more imbalanced, misunderstandings were bound to grow.
[I was surprised by this alone, but then the next time the appraiser did something inside the barrier, the boss died right away??]
[and]
[I wonder what he did; but in the end, I didn’t hear the strategy. He suddenly left… … .]
He tapped the keyboard in vain.
[Anyway, this whole thing was done by that person.]
[So who is that emotional person?]
A-class hunters couldn’t answer that question clearly for this reason.
[I was curious about that too, so I watched the news, but I couldn’t find any proper informationㅜㅜ I think he probably declined the interview]
Even though he is capable of dealing with boss monsters that hunters struggle with in an instant, he never reveals his identity to the media.
[Do you remember what it looked like?]
[Yes, but I think he doesn’t like his face to be known, so I’ll keep this a secret. I just wanted to make it clear that we didn’t catch Baron Hwawon.]
People showed interest in the mysterious awakener.
[I know who that person is]
[Wow, who is that?]
[Ah, I don’t know the name, I just saw it from afar. I thought it had blonde hair??]
[Blonde beauty emotional story ㄷㄷㄷ She has everyone except me, really]
[Are you crazy?]
Now, speculation is starting to circulate in more public places, rather than on anonymous message boards on the fringes.
