Episode 111
“Life is so hard.”
“yes?”
As if this was an unexpected answer, Pyo Hyuk-gyu’s eyes widen.
“It’s hard to live properly in this world, but there is interference from all kinds of worlds.”
Then Pyo Hyuk-gyu’s smile turns bitter.
“haha. okay.”
“It’s the demon world… … .”
Although I was joking, this is a serious problem.
The guy was strong.
To the point where simply expressing strength feels like it’s not enough.
Not only did he see through the phantom attack, but he appeared to be fine even though black ether had penetrated into his body.
On the other hand, this guy’s arms were blown off by a single hit from the wedge he made.
The fact that Goo Geon recognized my ‘return’ and the fact that I overcame the energy of ‘white dream’ were all related to him.
Even though we only dealt with one person, the results were so disastrous.
What if they open the gate in droves and invade here?
From that day on, humanity will declare a state of global disaster.
‘shit… … .’
The memory of dealing with him weighed heavily on my heart.
Let bygones be bygones.
What is more important is what to do next.
“The place where Gu Geon was dragged to is the demon world. “Is that what you’re saying?”
“In our opinion, yes.”
‘We’.
In the meantime, I didn’t pay much attention because there were a lot of things that were happening right in front of me.
Even though they say it’s a bargaining chip, aren’t they the ones who gave me the gold core anyway?
It was clear that he was interested in this area, so I thought he would show up on his own when the time was right.
And I think now is the time.
“When will you contact me?”
“yes?”
“You even mobilized gold and silver films to save me. “If I were there, I would be anxious to pamper myself.”
“haha.”
Pyo Hyuk-gyu bursts into a pleasant laugh.
On the one hand, I feel somehow relieved.
“It definitely seems like the right timing. you’re right. “We plan to visit Hunter Cheon Hae-seon soon.”
“I thought so.”
“but… … It’s not necessarily because of today’s events. “I wanted to see Cheon Hae-seon before, but it wasn’t a situation where I could see him from the outside.”
“Outside?”
Instead of answering, Pyo Hyuk-gyu takes out a small machine from his arms.
When the switch on the machine is activated, piercing sound waves are emitted in all directions.
“Ugh… … .”
“Can you hear this sound?”
Pyo Hyeok-gyu seems surprised that I can understand that sound.
“Ah, my senses are a bit sensitive… … .”
“okay. On the one hand, I’m glad. The device seems to be working properly… … .”
He seemed extremely wary of our conversation being leaked out.
Even after turning on the radio device, Pyo Hyuk-gyu’s eyes continued to look here and there.
“The organization I belong to is ‘Five Sidus (five stars).’”
“As expected… … “It’s a place I’ve never heard of.”
“That’s right. Not many people, let alone the members of the ‘Five Sidus,’ even know that such an organization exists.”
“Five stars… … . “I guess there are five leaders, right?”
“yes. And one of them is the person I serve… … “This is Chairman Lee Sa-soon.”
“?”
for a moment.
I think I heard wrong.
“Chairman Lee Sa-soon? He is now… … .”
From the deceased ape to the assigned table.
The real power of the Hunter Association is currently held by the Vice President.
This is quite unusual considering that, in general, the highest power comes from the chairman.
However, no one in South Korea questioned the current situation.
The president of the Hunter Association is currently fighting an illness.
Chairman Lee Sa-soon is hospitalized in a special ward after being fatally injured by a demonic beast.
The person who should be lying in the hospital room is a member of the ‘Five Siders’?
“Of course, that is how it is reported externally. But… … It has been quite a long time since you have been secretly working abroad. “I guess it’s been about three years.”
“her… … .”
Easier said than done.
It is not easy to move one’s body away from public attention.
This is only possible if not only the public, but also the media and the government are controlled.

No, according to Pyo Hyeok-gyu’s words, it should be assumed that most of them were people who did not even know them.
“What is the normal position of the president of the Hunter Association? “If a position becomes vacant for a long period of time, it is common to nominate a new chairman.”
“but… … I guess so. “The position of vice president is also very competitive.”
As soon as the ape died, Bae Jeong-dae took over as vice president, almost as if he was staging a coup.
It goes without saying that the politics and intrigue that took place in Plan 1 were fierce.
“If the president of the association was truly in danger, someone would have stood up a long time ago. “The reason the vice-chairman’s proxy management system has been maintained for a long time is, paradoxically, because the chairman is still alive and well.”
President of the Hunter Association.
Lee Sa-sun.
The woman I saw on TV was a middle-aged woman in her 50s with short gray hair.
A person with such an ordinary appearance that a stranger would be surprised to see them and say, ‘This person is the president?’
However, everything in the world cannot be judged just by looking at the outside.
Although he has now retired from active duty, Chairman Lee Sa-soon was once a world-famous hunter.
The strength was so outrageous that people gave it a modifier that surpassed S rank.
‘Exceeding salary’
It is an honorable title that can be counted among the top ten even if the entire world is deprived of it.
One of them was Lee Sa-sun.
“In addition to Chairman Lee Sa-soon, four other top-level hunters are active as ‘Five Stars.’”
“Who are the other four?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“… … .”
You may know something but you are pretending not to know, or you may really not know.
Well, you can ask Chairman Lee Sa-soon directly.
“Even though he is not in Korea, Chairman Lee Sa-soon has been observing every domestic ranking match. “As soon as Hunter Cheon Hae-seon’s body was damaged, he gave instructions to use the gold film.”
“I’m thankful for that.”
Thanks to the chairman’s instructions without hesitation, I was able to keep both arms intact.
Even for Maria, in that situation, it would have been best to keep her life.
“Chairman Lee Sa-soon will resume his activities within a few days. Of course, it is reported outside that he has been discharged from the hospital. “You two will be sitting together soon.”
“President of the Hunter Association… … “You will meet one of the ‘Five Stars.’”
“yes.”
Since becoming a hunter, I have met many high-level hunters in a short period of time.
However, the person I will meet this time will be the highest and strongest person I have ever met.
“While I wait, I should go get some culture.”
“Where… … “Are you saying you’re leaving?”
No matter how much I search through V1, I can’t find any information about the Demon World.
If we can’t get it from bright sunny areas, we’ll have to dig into the shadows underground.
A place that handles only special things, not ordinary items and information.
Black market.
There, you might be able to get a hint for this situation.
“I thought that crazy person might know something.”
I smiled a subtle smile at Pyo Hyuk-gyu, who looked confused.
* * *
An area where you can see the desert if you drive for an hour, and if you drive in the other direction, you can see the sea.
Dubai.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
The loud sound of a helicopter echoes in this endless brown sand desert.
A black helicopter without any letters or guild patches.
As the helicopter finishes landing, a group of people step into the desert.
“Ho Ho. “There it is.”
Hunter.
People call them ‘warriors’.
Literally warriors who swing their fists and shoot flames against vicious monsters.
However, the first woman to set foot in the desert seemed far removed from the word ‘hero.’
“Hey, come here.”
Round glasses with neatly combed short hair.
For a woman, she had quite a large figure and was wearing a black jacket, and she looked closer to a career woman than a ‘warrior’.
-Kick!!
‘Deformed Foxes’ make threatening cries and raise their tails.
The sand under their feet gradually turns black, expanding their influence.
Ssssss.
Dubai’s hot sun meets the blackened sand, forming dark smoke.
It is an extremely poisonous gas that causes not only ordinary people, but also most hunters, to fall into serious condition if they drink even a very small amount.
This is why deformed foxes are classified as poison types.
“Ugh… … !!”
Except for the middle-aged woman, the rest of the group hastily put on their gas masks.
To catch a fox, you have to stop breathing, but since they are so quick, it was impossible to hold your breath forever.
“Hehehehe.”
But instead of wearing a gas mask, the middle-aged woman hummed and walked towards them.
“Boss, it’s dangerous.”
One of the group members shouted urgently, but she only shrugged her shoulders in that direction.
“danger… … !!”
“Hey rookie. “Didn’t you hear the briefing?”
In response, the veteran next to him tapped the rookie on the shoulder.
“Even if you encounter a 9-star monster, you don’t have to worry about the boss. “Because she is like a god.”
“but… … .”
The newbie couldn’t believe the current situation.
I know very well that it is foolish to judge a Hunter based solely on his appearance.
The monsters in front of you are mutant foxes that even S-class healers are reluctant to approach.
With the poison monster just around the corner, all she had on was a loose-fitting suit jacket.
An outfit that does not suit not only monsters, but also this hot sun.
‘I need to prepare just in case.’
The newbie pulled out his gun device as if he was ready to run out at any time.
Although it looked quite solemn, the veteran employee just burst into laughter.
“Paha! Hey newbie. We just have to do our assigned roles. “Don’t increase your workload for no reason!”
When the newbie was about to reply, the foxes rushed towards the middle-aged woman.
“Holly wash… … !!”
I should have helped you while you were arguing with these complacent bastards.
The newbie was belatedly overcome with regret.
however… … .
-King! King!
“What… … ??”
A sight I had never seen before unfolded before my eyes.
No, in some ways it is a fairly familiar scene.
That is, if the place is the yard of a new person’s house, and the tailed beast is ‘Happy’, which the new person is raising.
“That’s right, that’s good.”
-King King.
It was a truly bizarre scene.
It was worse than when my friend’s limbs were cut off during the operation… … !
The foxes, who were rushing towards her as if they were about to bite her, were crowding around the middle-aged woman and fawning over her, just like ‘Happy’ at home.
The deformed fox, which used to cry fiercely, wags its tail next to the woman like a gentle sheep, as if for the first time in a while.
Do foxes also wag their tails when they are happy?
No, that’s not important.
The deformed fox that went crazy at the sight of humans turned into a gentle sheep.
‘how… … ?’
That wasn’t the only surprising thing.
The sand along the deformed fox’s path turned black, as if leaving footprints, but only the sand around the middle-aged woman was in good condition.
Even the black smoke flowing through the air crumbled transparently in front of her.
It’s strange.
Neither the vicious monsters nor their toxicity works on her.
It seemed as if she was the only one who did not follow the laws of this world.
“Paha! Newcomer! Do you understand now? “Whether it’s a monster or a human ether, it doesn’t work on our Mrs. Lee.”
Mrs Lee.
Lee Sa-soon, leader of the Five-sidus (five stars).
“Okay, okay. That’s right. Ho ho ho.”
A transcendent level hunter who purifies all the energy of this world into ‘nothingness’ was stroking the foxes in his arms.
