Episode 201
Kang Jin-hyeok was experiencing the realm of nothingness in real time.
After fighting monsters that came at me day and night for three days straight, my body started moving before I could think.
“fu*k! No matter how much I do this, it’s never going to end!”
The hunter next to him swung his axe wildly in annoyance.
Not only the hunter, but everyone gathered here was getting goosebumps from the endless hordes of monsters pouring out.
It was only natural that my motivation would gradually wane as I had to just keep running forward without seeing the finish line in front of me.
Kang Jin-hyeok wanted to boost their morale again, but it was impossible at the moment.
Even I am so dizzy right now that I can barely tell the difference between a monster and a hunter.
Who would have the luxury of taking care of other people’s mental health?
Kang Jin-hyeok, who was continuing to fight in a half-conscious state, felt someone grab his shoulder and slowly turned his head.
“Step back and get some shut-eye.”
The one who advised Kang Jin-hyeok to take a break was Yoo Hye-seong, who had just been brought in as a replacement.
“How can I get out of this situation?”
“It’s because of this that I’m telling you to rest more.”
“what?”
“We don’t know how many more monsters will come out in the future. Do you think you can just collapse already?”
“but…….”
“Stop making up weird excuses and just rest when you have to. If you keep doing this and collapse, you’ll have neither food nor shelter.”
Yoo Hye-seong had a point.
Kang Jin-hyeok, who was unable to refute and was persuaded, nodded and stepped back.
“Then please just wait a moment.”
“Don’t worry and get some rest.”
Yoo Hye-seong stood in the position that Kang Jin-hyeok had been in and drew his sword.
Although he was weaker than Kang Jin-hyeok, he was clearly a top-tier S-class hunter.
With Yoo Hye-seong’s skills, he could deal with a few ogres more easily than cutting tofu.
“Come on, come and gather as much as you want!”
Kang Jin-hyeok felt relieved when he heard Yoo Hye-seong’s voice shouting as if he was in a godly mood, and he retreated to the rear where the injured and replacement personnel were.
As I looked at the injured people lying there groaning, I couldn’t help but sigh in pity.
Because the number of healers was so insufficient, the number of hunters who could not receive immediate treatment was gradually increasing.
“Guild Master? What are you doing here?”
Yoon Da-yoon, who was taking a break from diligently treating patients, opened her eyes wide when she found Kang Jin-hyeok.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“No, I came to take a short break.”
“Ah… … . Well, you haven’t rested for three days. Sit down here and rest.”
Yoon Da-yoon offered him one of the empty chairs.
Kang Jin-hyeok sat down on the chair without hesitation and took off his coat.
As soon as I took off my coat, the sweat evaporated and steam rose up like smoke.
The people gathered at the rear could see how fierce the fighting was at the front.
“Would you like some potion?”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about me and just treat the patients.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Yoon Da-yoon nodded and stepped back, then ran straight to the patients lying down.
Watching her work hard, Kang Jin-hyeok thought that it was a good idea to awaken Yoon Da-yoon as a healer.
In a situation where only one healer was needed, Yoon Da-yoon’s performance was of great help.
“after…….”
Kang Jin-hyeok lowered his head and let out a deep breath.
The roars of monsters and the shouts of hunters.
I doubted whether I would be able to rest properly while hearing the groans of the wounded and the sounds of healers moving busily.
But, as if those doubts were nothing more than a shadow of doubt, Kang Jin-hyeok fell into deep sleep the moment he closed his eyes for a moment.
His body was at its limit after not sleeping for three days and moving around busily.
No matter how loud the surrounding noise was, Kang Jin-hyeok’s tired body forcibly pulled him out of consciousness and threw him into the sea of sleep.
“You are already asleep.”
Yoon Da-yoon found Kang Jin-hyeok sleeping and placed a towel on his shoulders.
“Your fortune is very good.”
Yoon Da-yoon turned her head when she heard someone sneer.
I thought it was a familiar voice, and as expected, the person on the other end was a familiar face.
“Sister Lucia?”
Hearing that she was called “sister,” Lucia waved her hand slightly to greet Yun Da-yoon.
Yun Da-woon and Lucia often ran into each other because they were in the rear whenever a fight broke out, and before they knew it, they had become close friends as they took care of each other one by one.
“Did you come to rest too, Sister?”
“No, I’m not weak like anyone else.”
Lucia glanced at the sleeping Kang Jin-hyeok, then placed the Hunter she had been carrying on her shoulders on the empty bed.
“I brought you here because there was an injured person. I ran out of potions where I was.”
“If that’s the case, you should have said something sooner! I’ll apply for distribution right away.”
“Okay, please.”
Lucia turned her arm and released the shoulder that was supporting Hunter.
Then he immediately turned around and tried to go back to where he was.

“Are you leaving already? Since you came here, why don’t you just rest for a bit before you go… .”
Yoon Da-yoon knew very well that Lucia was fighting without rest like Kang Jin-hyeok.
I was very worried that she might collapse from exhaustion.
“You heard what I said. I’m not weak like him. I’m not just saying that.”
Unlike humans, elves can survive for a week without sleep as long as they have enough food and mana.
Lucia, who inherited half of their blood, didn’t get tired of things like this.
There was no problem moving my body for the next three days or so.
“Just in case, take this.”
Yoon Da-yoon put a stamina potion in Lucia’s hand.
This won’t completely chase away sleep, but it will prevent you from losing consciousness for the time being.
“If it seems dangerous, eat it.”
“Okay, stop worrying and do what you have to do.”
Lucia smiled faintly and then started walking again.
‘I guess I’ll have to work a little harder.’
The fact that Kang Jin-hyeok was resting meant that the fighting power at the front had been greatly reduced.
Since Kang Jin-hyeok, who used to move around busily and take care of things whenever there was a problem, was away, the burden must have increased.
However, it is not possible to wake up a sleeping person and tell him to go fight again.
Until Kang Jin-hyeok fully recovered his strength, he had no choice but to buy time by gradually filling in for his absence.
“I wonder what kind of hardships you must have gone through by coming to someone else’s world.”
Lucia giggled as she thought about her situation.
She took a candy out of her pocket, put it in her mouth, stood up, and picked up her bow again.
“Once this is over, I think I should go on vacation.”
Lucia muttered to herself as she fired arrows at the monsters rushing in from the sky.

Anderson sighed as he watched the monsters pouring out on the screen.
“There is no end, there is no end.”
The endless pouring in of supplies was also the same.
A large number of helicopters were needed to deliver supplies to the rugged mountain ranges for the millions of hunters.
As a helicopter is a money-eating machine, a significant amount of money is broken for just one round trip, and since this is repeated without stopping, HU’s budget is quickly disappearing.
Anderson stood on stage himself and appealed to the world to prevent HU’s bankruptcy.
“The hunters are now risking their lives to protect your safety.”
“The hunters need your help. Please lend them your strength.”
Anderson showed the public the fight scene on TV, along with emotional remarks.
A sight of monsters pouring down like a waterfall and countless hunters fighting against them.
It was never a movie, it was reality happening now.
People willingly opened their wallets to see the hunters fighting fiercely.
As donations poured in, Anderson smiled inwardly with satisfaction.
‘Okay, that’s a relief.’
Not only the funds, but even the hunters who did not participate in the fight felt guilty and volunteered late.
Enders gathered the healers first among those people and deployed them to the scene.
Thanks to the added healers, injured and retreating Hunters were able to return to the front lines more quickly.
And thanks to the donations, HU was able to continue its distribution without any burden.
It was heartbreaking to have to pour out all the money I had saved, but now was not the time to feel regret.
If we lose this fight, we will not be able to plan for the future and only death will remain.
To avoid the worst possible outcome, now was the time to abandon selfish desires.
‘Kang Jin-hyeok… … . I can’t even touch that person.’
Anderson had been planning to kill Kang Jin-hyeok by pretending it was an accident before the fight broke out.
But when faced with the onslaught of monsters, those thoughts disappeared.
If the Hunter who is at the forefront of this fight and doing a great job were to die, the morale of the remaining Hunters would hit rock bottom.
In addition, there was a high possibility that the defense line would collapse due to the loss of a large amount of power.
In this situation, fighting was tantamount to suicide.
Anderson never imagined that one day he would find himself cheering on Kang Jin-hyeok’s performance.
“… … What is that?”
Anderson, who was watching the situation on the scene through the screen, discovered something unusual.
In the screen he saw, cracks in the sky suddenly began to open left and right.
The cracks grew larger and wider, as if trying to vomit out something bigger.
Anderson saw a huge foreleg and red scales slowly emerging from it.
“Oh my God.”
When Anderson saw the seven heads emerging from the crack, he inadvertently looked for God.
The newly appeared monster boasted a magnificent size that made even the ogre, which was three times larger than a normal human, look like a small puppy.
If Anderson, who was watching on screen, was this surprised, how much more surprised must the hunters who were out in the field be.
“F*ck… … .”
The hunters who had been fighting nonstop at the front looked up at the sky in a daze.
To be exact, it’s a bright red monster that comes down from the sky.
The red-scaled dragon with seven heads caused a huge earthquake the moment it descended to the ground.
“Whoaaaa!”
“Everyone, hold on tight!”
As the tremor of magnitude 7 or greater spread through the ground, most of the hunters lost their balance and fell to the ground.
The only good thing was that the monsters didn’t try to take advantage of the gaps while they were down.
『Kwaaaaaaaah!』
The roar of the seven heads at once shook the hunters’ minds.
This roar, which resonated not in the eardrums but in the head, reawakened Kang Jin-hyeok, who had been sleeping in the rear.
