Episode 117.
Flash!
A burst of light.
Crunch!
Almost simultaneously, a ripping sound was heard.
Kim Yi-jun hurriedly turned the camera.
Key, keyeeek…!
The camera screen showed a large snake struggling, caught in Siwoo’s grasp.
A B+ grade monster, Basilisk.
It was a monster known as a degenerated snake.
Even though it was degenerated, the object of comparison was none other than the Imoogi.
Leather tougher than steel.
Sharp fangs that can tear through even steel.
The power emitted from its huge size crushes everything.
A monster that even A-class hunters have difficulty dealing with.
Kieeeek─!!
The basilisk roared and writhed.
He twisted his large body and grabbed Siwoo’s body.
Crunch, crunch!
A strange sound was heard from Siwoo, who was wrapped in Basilix.
And then, oh my gosh!
The basilisk opened its huge maw towards Siu.
That moment.
Thud!
Siwoo grabbed the basilisk’s upper jaw.
Soon, he grabbed the lower jaw with his other hand.
Key, key-ek─!
Basilisk shook his body in confusion.
But it didn’t make any sense.
Kwajijik─!
The basilisk’s jaws were torn open left and right.
It happened at an angle that was absolutely impossible.
Kuung─!
Basilisk lost his strength and fell.
“……”
And Kim Yi-jun was speechless.
What hunter in the world could handle a basilisk like this?
Kim Yi-jun slowly looked around.
When I looked around, there were dozens of basilisks lying around.
Their forms were all different.
On the other hand, there is a basilisk that has its mouth blooming like a flower just now.
Some basilisks had their entire bodies torn to shreds.
Some of them were also crushed.
“……”
Really… I was speechless.
Kim Yi-jun calmly lowered his gaze.
I checked the recording time of the camera.
<47 seconds>
There was a time when dozens of basilisks were lying sprawled on the ground.
At the same time, it was the time it took to clear the B+ grade Basilisk dungeon.
“……”
It is now beyond the realm of understanding.
I guess I’ll get used to it by now.
It was a situation I couldn’t get used to at all.
Why on earth is that kind of person a B+ rank hunter?
Who on earth is this performance system for?
Kim Yi-jun couldn’t understand it at all.
Right then.
“Lee Jun-ah! Don’t just sit there blankly. Put these in your pockets.”
Siwoo’s voice was heard from one side.
And then, kuung!
Something big was thrown in front of Kim Yi-jun.
It was none other than the corpse of a basilisk.
That too was a mangled corpse.
Before he knew it, Siwoo was grooming the basilisks he had hunted.
“……”
Kim Yi-jun looked at the corpses thrown in front of him.
But he soon came to his senses and lifted the body.

Ugh!
A weight that makes you groan involuntarily.
Although it has been maintained, its size is different.
A degenerate snake.
The weight was by no means ordinary.
Of course, it was nothing compared to the construction materials last time.
That doesn’t mean it was light, though.
“Kkaaaah!”
Kim Yi-jun was finally able to carry the basilisk corpse.
And step by step.
I was able to walk with difficulty and reach the front of the pocket.
Yeah, pocket.
That’s a tiny pocket, too.
A pocket that looks like it could fit a stone or something.
Kim Yi-jun put the basilisk corpse into the pocket.
Then swoosh.
The body was sucked into the pocket.
“……”
This time again, I had nothing to say.
What is this….
That moment.
“Once you’ve put everything in, step aside.”
Siwoo’s voice was heard from behind.
When I turned my head, Siwoo was approaching me, carrying a full basilisk on his back.
It seemed like he was carrying all the remaining basilisks on his back.
Is that why?
Boom! Boom!
The ground shook softly with every step Siwoo took.
Is that… a weight that a person can lift?
“……”
When will I come to my senses?
Kim Yi-jun had no idea.
Swish.
Siwoo put the basilisks one by one into his pockets.
Dozens of basilisks.
They were all going into the pockets.
Kim Yi-jun looked at Si-woo and asked.
“That… is that really what you made?”
“Then. Perhaps Master Aurelian made it for you?”
Siwoo answered, putting the basilisk in his pocket.
And honestly.
Kim Yi-jun thought that might be the case.
You would have to be at least Master Aurelian to create such ridiculous equipment.
No, no.
Even Master Aurelian wouldn’t be able to make that, right?
“All done. Let’s go now.”
Siwoo, who had finished his work without realizing it, tapped his palm and shook it off.
I picked up the bag lying on the floor.
A pouch containing dozens of basilisks.
It wasn’t just the basilisk.
The monsters from the dungeons I raided before were all contained there.
I could say this without any exaggeration.
There were literally about a thousand monsters in the pocket.
“Isn’t it heavy, brother?”
“A little? But it’s not that heavy since it’s placed in a different dimension. Want to try it?”
“uh….”
I was a little curious.
Is it really not that heavy?
“Oh, no. I’m fine.”
But he quickly shook his head.
A bit of heaviness that Siwoo mentioned.
Because I couldn’t even imagine what that slight heaviness would be like.
Shiwoo was able to easily carry dozens of basilisks.
It was Siwoo who said last time that the construction materials weren’t heavy.
But it’s a little heavy?
“Okay, let’s go to the next dungeon, hyung.”
I didn’t want to get crushed again for no reason.
“Are there about four left?”
“There are three left.”
“Really? Then let’s go quickly and take care of it quickly. Take good care of the camera that Deokgu gave me as a gift.”
“Yes, brother.”
Kim Yi-jun followed Si-woo out of the dungeon.
Woohoo!
The Earth we returned to like that.
“Hunter Maeng Si-woo.”
As soon as they came out of the dungeon, someone called Siwoo.
The place I turned my head to look at.
There stood a beautiful woman with a cold expression.
“Minjeong?”
The inspector general, Lee Min-jeong.
Siwoo tilted his head and asked.
“What brings you here, Minjeong?”
“I have something to tell Hunter Maeng Si-woo….”
Siwoo quietly looked at Lee Minjung’s face.
And why is that?
“Can I talk to you for a moment?”
Lee Min-jung’s expression didn’t look that good.
* * *
Incheon International Airport.
“Association President!”
From far away, Geumcheon-gyu raised his head at the sound.
“What happened?”
The employee opened his mouth in response to Geumcheon Gyu’s subsequent question.
“It appears that Master Aurelian has been kidnapped from his private plane.”
“You were kidnapped from your private jet?”
“It appears there was a criminal inside the plane.”
Geumcheon-gyu furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
They say there was a criminal inside the private plane.
That means,
Doesn’t that mean the culprit is among Master Aurelian’s associates?
“Is that possible?”
But does that make sense?
Of course, Aurelian’s trip to Korea was sudden.
Because of that, security personnel were not properly deployed.
But even so, it’s still like that… .
“We were suspicious of that too, so we checked the employee list one by one….”
The employee handed Geumcheon-gyu a few documents.
The documents contained a list of the staff members who had boarded the private jet.
Naturally, this was information that could not be given to outsiders.
Even if Geumcheon Gyu was the director of the management office, it was information that he could not obtain.
More precisely, it could be said that it was information that could only be known by the guards of the inspection country.
But this time, the circumstances were special, too special.
The disappearance of Master Aurelian.
It was a serious matter that had to be addressed by not only the inspection bureau but also the management bureau.
Above all, the inspection bureau and the management bureau.
Both were agencies under the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.
In short, it is a government agency that can be seen as brotherhood.
Currently, the Inspection Bureau and the Management Bureau are jointly investigating the case.
Geumcheon Gyu slowly checked the contents of the document.
There was a list of employees and their statements.
Let’s check each statement one by one.
“Moon Tae-beom?”
There was one name that really stood out.
A character that appears commonly in employee statements.
“A very close coworker…?”
Moon Tae-beom was stated to be an airline employee who was close friends with all of the employees.
Geumcheon Gyu checked the list of employees one by one.
however.
“Isn’t there an employee named Moon Tae-beom on the list?”
There wasn’t any.
The name Moon Tae-beom was not on the airline staff list.
Therefore, it made no sense to say that Moon Tae-beom was a fellow employee.
Right then.
“I think I’ve been brainwashed.”
A familiar voice was heard from behind Geumcheon Gyu.
Lee Si-yoon, a S-class hunter and wizard known as a sage.
It was Lee Si-yoon who rushed to the scene after hearing the story that Aurelian had gone missing.
“Brainwashing?”
“To be exact, I think the employees may have been affected by mental magic.”
“Then the culprit is a wizard?”
“yes.”
Lee Si-yoon nodded without hesitation.
“Also, there is absolutely no sign of combat anywhere on the plane. That means.”
“So that means you subdued them before they even started fighting. Hmm… ”
Geumcheon Gyu continued to think for a moment before speaking.
“But, Han Chae-rin was also here.”
“It seems like he was subdued without any chance to resist. The culprit is a high-level wizard who uses powerful mental magic.”
“Hmm… .”
Geumcheon-gyu let out a sigh without realizing it.
Mental magic that can even subdue Han Chae-rin in an instant.
this….
The culprit seemed to be a bigger culprit than expected.
“Look at that Han Chae-rin. I told you she’s still a kid.”
Iharin’s voice was heard.
Geumcheon Gyu ignored Lee Ha-rin and asked Lee Si-yoon.
“But that doesn’t mean we can conclude that the culprit is a wizard who uses brainwashing magic….”
“I can see traces of teleportation magic.”
At that moment, another woman’s voice was heard.
A beauty with long, crimson hair.
S-class hunter and witch of red flames, Yoo Han-na.
“We can’t say for sure that the culprit is a wizard, but we can be sure that one of the culprits is a wizard.”
Yoo Han-na has been speaking firmly.
Geumcheon Gyu nodded.
If two genius magicians said something like that, then it had to be true.
“Can you track it?”
“I’ll give it a try, but….”
Yoo Han-na trailed off as if she was not confident.
The witch of red flames, Yoo Han-na.
However, strictly speaking, Yuhanna could be called a battle magician.
War Mage.
Yuhanna was a wizard specialized in combat.
“Hunter Lee Si-yoon. What about you?”
On the other hand, Lee Si-yoon was a real magician.
One who explores and understands the world.
The person who came closest to the concept of a wizard was Lee Si-yoon.
When it comes to magical systems, Lee Si-yoon was one step ahead.
“I deliberately twisted the waves of my magic to avoid being tracked. This isn’t the first or second time I’ve done something like this. I don’t think… it’ll be easy.”
Even Lee Si-yoon expressed his discomfort.
What that means is one thing.
“He is a wizard of an extremely high level. Maybe even more so than me.”
It means that the situation is more serious than expected.
“This is a big deal.”
Somehow, it didn’t seem like things would work out easily.
* * *
A hotel located on the outskirts of Seoul.
Knock knock.
Oh Ju-won tapped the armrest of the sofa with his index finger.
Eyes that have settled down calmly.
“Maeng Si-woo.”
Oh Ju-won repeated the name once.
A cheeky hunter who warns against Pandemonium.
The one who caused the pandemonium in the Seoul area.
The one who defeated the cut-level executive, Myungji Gwang.
Also, the decisive reason why Cho Buk-cheon, a high-ranking member of the religious order, was arrested by the inspection bureau not long ago.
So now.
“Maeng Si-woo.”
It was the fourth name that Oh Ju-won heard.
It was the first time.
A being that is still alive even after hearing Oh Ju-won’s name four times.
Also, who is alive and well after acting so arrogantly against Pandemonium?
It was everyone’s first time with Maeng Si-woo.
So I had to deal with it.
This time, Oh Joo-won had to step forward himself.
But I couldn’t do that now.
Because the injuries Baek Seon-je suffered were more serious than expected.
And the excessive use of force required some time for recovery.
Above all, the situation with Pandemonium was not good.
Although he escaped Baek Seon-je, the damage to the religious order was not minimal.
Only total annihilation was avoided.
The damage was almost annihilating.
So now was not the time.
I had to hide in the shade as much as possible and build up my strength.
But now.
“Aurelian and Mengshiu are related?”
“Yes. Not only that, but it seems that Maeng Si-woo also has a considerable connection with Han Chae-rin.”
Knock knock.
I heard the sound of someone tapping the armrest with their index finger.
Oh Ju-won calmly assessed the current situation in his head.
and.
“There is a high possibility that Maeng Si-woo will come forward….”
Oh Ju-won was able to reach this conclusion.
It wasn’t that likely.
Maeng Si-woo is definitely stepping forward.
That means,
The culprit of this incident is Moon Tae-beom.
This means that Moon Tae-beom and Maeng Si-woo will collide.
“They’re both annoying….”
But both of them are an eyesore to Oh Ju-won.
Maeng Si-woo, who is still alive even after hearing the fourth name.
Moon Tae-beom, who rebels and tries to oust himself.
Both of them are so annoying that they should be erased from this world.
Maybe that’s why.
Sigh.
Oh Ju-won just burst out laughing.
“Things aren’t as bad as I expected.”
It wasn’t a good thing that the world’s attention was drawn to it.
But if you look at the work itself, it wasn’t like that.
At the end of this story, Maeng Si-woo clashes with Moon Tae-beom.
This is an indisputable fact.
Then, two possibilities arise.
first.
Maeng Si-woo deals with Moon Tae-beom.
In that case, it would be like blowing your nose without lifting a finger.
Because I had to take care of Moon Tae-beom in some way.
At the same time, Oh Ju-won was able to build up strength while sitting.
Moon Tae-beom is a burst-level executive in charge of the Pandemonium in the Gyeonggi region.
Is that Moon Tae-beom being treated by Maeng Si-woo?
All Oh Ju-won had to do was absorb the pandemonium in the Gyeonggi region.
Of course, Moon Tae-beom was not such an easygoing person.
Burst-level executive.
Even for a blind man like Siwoo, it was difficult to defeat Taebeom Moon.
Secondly.
Maeng Si-woo is reversely attacked by Moon Tae-beom.
But this was also pretty good.
This wasn’t a bad result in its own way.
After all, Maeng Si-woo was someone who needed to be taken care of.
Either way.
“There is no situation where I am at a loss.”
Control barbarians with barbarians.
Defeat barbarians with barbarians.
“I’ll wait and see what happens next.”
Oh Ju-won was able to come to that conclusion.
“All right.”
Suha bowed his head and stepped back.
Then suddenly.
“No, I changed my mind.”
Oh Ju-won raised one hand.
It was best to wait and see how things turned out.
But I literally changed my mind.
To be exact, an idea occurred to me that could really take advantage of this situation.
Fisherman’s fortune.
While both sides are fighting, you gain the advantage without any effort.
and.
“Upload a video to YouTube.”
The bigger the battle between the two sides, the bigger the stakes.
The benefits of collecting also tend to increase.
* * *
A cafe nearby.
Siwoo quietly looked at Lee Minjung, who was sitting across from him.
To be exact, it’s the story that Lee Min-jung told me just now.
“What you’re saying is….”
Siwoo asked while organizing Lee Min-jung’s story.
“Are you saying that Pandemonium offered me a deal?”
