Episode 120
“Ho ho ho.”
“… … !!”
She would definitely be the only person who could laugh like that next to a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
With neatly combed short hair and round glasses.
An oversized jacket covering a voluptuous physique.
A middle-aged woman who resembles an executive presenting a new product at a presentation.
Lee Sa-sun.
She appeared before us.
“uh… … .”
If the situation changes too quickly, words may not come out properly.
Not only me but all my colleagues were speechless and unable to speak.
“hello. everyone?”
In the end, it was Lee Sa-sun who said hello first.
Although it was my first time seeing her in person, there was no one here who did not know Lee Sa-soon’s identity.
This is because her title was written on the hunter license that all hunters had.
<Chairman of the Korea Hunter Association>
Although it has been a while since she has been active abroad, every hunter knows her name.
the problem is.
Why did Lee Sa-soon, who should be lying in a hospital room, appear here?
Even I, who was informed in advance, would be dumbfounded, but the other members would feel like they were dreaming.
“hey. Cheon Hae-seon. “Pinch my cheek.”
“uh?”
“Am I dreaming now, or am I dead and seeing nothing… … “Ouch!”
The bisu tried to hit my neck with a dangsu, but I escaped with graceful movements.
“Who told you to pinch?”
“Who could be so ignorant… … “But it’s not a dream?”
“Ho ho ho.”
Lee Sa-sun was just smiling from afar, as if he was amused by the sight of us like that.
Even Maria, who is probably the second most pitiful person to be honest, is just blinking, so I guess I should open the gun.
“This is my first time seeing you in person. “This is Cheon Hae-seon.”
“This is Lee Sa-soon.”
When she revealed her name, the other members seemed to have regained their sense of reality.
“Really?”
“Oh, hello!”
“nice to see you… … !”
What is the normal position of the president of the Hunter Association?
It was obvious that everyone was nervous as the person who could be said to be the leader of all hunters appeared in front of them.
Even if they were the same leader, the positions of chairman and vice president were heaven and earth.
This is because the position of chairman is basically a position that cannot be held unless you are an S-rank hunter, and it is a position that can only be held if you have both administrative and political power.
It’s just that the chairman’s position is ‘vacant’ right now, and the moment Lee Sa-sun returns, the world’s Baejeongdae will become dog food and acorns.
‘furthermore… … Even if it looks like that, it is of a transcendent level.’
A tier whose name is even unfamiliar.
I don’t know, but Lee Sa-soon is probably the strongest among the people here.
“first… … You need to change your seat. Now something strange is happening to that monster… … .”
Yuk Cheol-wan asked her in a slightly urgent voice, but Lee Sa-soon only smiled kindly.
“are you okay. “This guy won’t cause any trouble anymore.”
“yes?”
‘also… … .’
I don’t know what happened, but it seemed certain that she had neutralized the explosion of the dragon.
How could such a violent etheric reaction be stopped?
And, why did it appear here?
There were more than one or two things she wanted to ask, but she kept asking us questions.
“But there is something strange.”
“?”
“Although it is an issue that has not been revealed to the public, the cause of the explosion after the fire is clear is clear. “If the core disappears shortly after death, an etheric reaction occurs.”
… … .
to?
“that… … “Usually, when a monster dies, don’t you extract its core?”
Lee Sa-sun shook his head in response to Yuk Cheol-wan’s question.
“It’s not a matter of getting it out of the body. “When the monster’s warmth still remains, if it is destroyed by something in the body, a high-energy response occurs.”
“… … !!”
Whoop.
As soon as those words are finished, all the members’ heads turn towards me.
There is only one person who took refuge in the dragon’s body, and there is only one person who can destroy the core on the spot.
hmm… … . therefore.
‘It’s because of me, right?’
In the end, the collapse occurred because I absorbed the dragon’s core too quickly.

haha.
I almost blew up Dubai because of my choice.
“haha.”
I scratched my head with a puzzled expression, and Bisu rolled up his sleeves and asked.
“Uther? “After almost destroying a country?”
“Then you can’t go bowling with your core when you don’t know if you will live or die, right?”
“Ugh! “If you can’t even talk.”
Bisu shook his head vigorously, and the remaining members smiled bitterly.
“What are you talking about… … .”
“iced coffee! no. That’s really interesting. “Why did such a ‘coincidence’ happen?”
“It’s a coincidence… … .”
I wonder if there will be any problem if I tell the truth, but the uproar that has occurred so far is enough.
We’ve just finished a long flight, slain a dragon, and are halfway across the Three Paths.
Fortunately, Lee Sa-soon, who had expected some questions, cleared up the situation without any further questions.
Although I was a little concerned about the mysterious smile on my lips.
“We will meet again in the evening. Thank you for your hard work in many ways. “The World Hunter Defense Organization will also remember your achievements.”
After Lee Sa-sun said that, he suddenly disappeared.
* * *
As soon as we arrived, something dynamic happened, but from then on, the journey unfolded as expected.
Employees of the World Hunter Defense Organization came and escorted us, and our car soon stopped in front of a high-end hotel.
We were provided with a room that looked expensive at first glance, but there was something else that was urgent for us.
“OMG!! “I thought I was going to die from all the goo!!”
The dust and breath from the broken building made all the members look miserable.
After going into our respective rooms and showering, we gathered in Maria and Bisu’s room, where we had been given a suite.
“I wondered why the rescue team didn’t come, but it was worth it… … .”
Bisu gave a short sigh and a bitter smile.
The news screen we were looking at was filled with images of monsters appearing simultaneously.
The monster that appeared today wasn’t the only monster.
As many as seven boss mobs appeared centered around Dubai Airport and turned the city into chaos.
“It’s not something to say, but… … . “It feels like a monster festival.”
Yuk Cheol-wan sighed in a defeated voice.
“To see a bunch of boss-level monsters appear without any gates found… … . “Isn’t this truly unprecedented, Hunter?”
“Iknow, right. There have been many abnormal situations, big and small, in the meantime, but there has never been anything this blatant… … .”
In other words, it is not expressed as ‘blatant’.
The World Hunter Forum is held in a different location every year, and this year’s location was Dubai.
At a place where the world’s leading hunters gather in one place, something strange happens and a boss mob interferes?
This is too unfortunate to be called a coincidence.
It was an incident that raised suspicions that someone had intentionally manipulated it.
The good news is that because the elites of each country gathered together, no catastrophic damage was suffered.
It is said that just as we defeated the explosive dragon, the boss mobs that appeared in other areas were also defeated by hunters from each country.
“no way. I really feel uncomfortable. By the way, Cheon Hae-seon.”
“uh?”
“I mean Chairman Lee Sa-soon. How was it possible to prevent the explosion?
“well… … .”
Even I couldn’t figure it out at all.
Controlling the stored ether is something anyone can do.
But what if the ether is in a very unstable state, about to explode?
Even if it is an extremely small amount, it is not easy to control.
Moreover, it wasn’t an ordinary monster, but a fire dragon.
I’m sure something happened when we had a premonition of the end and closed our eyes, but I couldn’t figure it out.
“I’ve heard that story before.”
Yuk Cheol-wan, who had been silent, opened his mouth heavily.
“This is something I heard from a senior I worked with… … . “It is said that when Chairman Lee Sa-sun was active as a hunter, his nickname was ‘Eraser.’”
“Eraser… … .”
It was so long ago that there is no one here who remembers Lee Sa-soon during his active years.
Lee Sa-sun was a genius who was famous for his fortune, and he was very active since he was a teenager, and he started his career as an administrator before he turned 30.
However, people who watched him fight are said to have nicknamed him ‘Eraser’.
“surely… … . “What happened today feels similar.”
If you have a skill that can nullify energy, it is also possible to explain blocking the explosion of the fire dragon.
But is such an ability really possible?
‘perhaps… … . ‘Maybe I can get a hint.’
The battle scene with the demons plays in my head.
A monster that could see right through a blow and tear off a self-defense weapon like a piece of paper.
But the most shocking thing was that the ‘black ether’, which had been known as an eternal truth, did not work at all.
Since the weapons like Jeon Ga Bodo were gone, there was no guarantee that he would be able to defeat him even if he met him again.
In this situation, meeting Lee Sa-sun is an important clue to me.
Just like the demons did, can she also nullify my black ether with ‘Eraser’?
If so, what means should be used to make the black ether accessible?
There was still quite a bit of time left until dinner, but my mind was becoming more and more anxious.
* * *
A famous landmark in Dubai with a height of almost 800m.
A large number of reporters gathered at Burj Khalifa.
Pang pang pang pang.
Click, click, click!
The number of hunters gathered at the World Hunter Forum is around 500.
Moreover, because they were all the elites of their respective countries, it was a place where both splendor and grandeur were felt at the same time.
People who are more popular than most celebrities.
Perhaps that’s why there were decorations that didn’t seem to fit at all.
“Why is the red carpet here?”
“Nandle. “This isn’t Oscar.”
As Bisu and Cheon Hae-seon snort, Yuk Cheol-wan laughs.
“haha. How many times will you get a chance to see these amazing people in one place? “As the platform has been established, there is a need to actively utilize it.”
“Use?”
“People have been constantly worried about monsters for decades. “The purpose may be to relieve anxiety by highlighting these strong hunters in the media.”
“aha… … .”
There are such strong hunters in the human race, so you can engage in your livelihood with peace of mind.
What is this?
In fact, the seven boss mobs that appeared today were destroyed one by one by the hands of those gathered here.
In the eyes of citizens, there is no scene more believable than this.
“I don’t like making a fuss. We just quietly listen… … .”
“it’s crazy? “This is how it turned out!”
“hey… … hey!”
Second to her power of obedience(?), she is a sad woman.
Bisu ran like a fish out of water and stood in front of the end of the red carpet.
“Wow… … !!”
“Who’s that lady?
Red hair and a red dress that feel like a set.
The combination of the dizzying curves of the back and the bewitching off-white color immediately catches the attention of those around you.
For Bisu, who had never had a chance to receive attention, this place was like heaven.
Click, click, click.
“Kyahahaha.”
Bisu walks the red carpet with a cheerful smile.
Then, he struck a fatal pose in front of the photo zone and was bombarded by cameras once again.
The Irregular members just tried to quietly walk down the side street… … .
“hey! Let’s come over here and take a picture together! come fast!”
I received a flash baptism from Orthodoxy by a dagger.
Boom boom boom boom.
Click, click, click.
“That damn thing… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon cursed softly and closed his eyes.
As if they thought there was nothing they could do since they were already in the spotlight, Cheon Hae-seon and his group went up to the red carpet and took pictures with Bi-su.
“oh… … . “Isn’t there a lot of painting?”
“Where are your friends from? “It’s everyone’s first time seeing this.”
“There’s Maria! “Then Korea?”
“korea? “So you’re saying those guys caught the bomb dragon?”
Cheon Hae-seon, who was able to interpret the conversations of foreign reporters through the ‘color’ provided by Dr. Jin, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Like it or not, attention was focused on Korea’s representative hunters who appeared with new faces.
“oh… … .”
At that time, another group from the opposite direction had just arrived at Burj Khalifa.
Approximately ten men and women of various ages.
At first glance, it seemed like cold and overflowing ether was flowing from their bodies.
At their appearance, the people around them swallow their saliva.
This is because his spirit was too ferocious to be considered a hunter.
“After a long time, a useful woman has appeared.”
Among them, the blond-haired man in front ate his appetite while looking at the dagger.
