Episode 124
“What a rat… … !”
There was no particular intention to disparage.
But the object in front of me was really stealthy, small, and fast like a rat.
“… … !!”
However, ‘Dokbo’, which reached level 3, was faster than both Rat and I expected.
The wide gap had suddenly narrowed to a distance that could be touched if one stretched out one’s hand.
‘It’s really small.’
Looking closer, I felt it more clearly.
The spy wearing a black hood looked like he might be less than 160 cm tall.
Looking at the hem of the clothes fluttering, it seemed like there was almost no skin.
Just by looking at the body shape, it seemed unclear whether it was a man or a woman.
However, the look of confusion at the rapidly narrowing distance was clearly visible.
“Gotcha! “You guy!”
He reached for the hem of the spy’s hood.
The guy quickly lowered his head, so I couldn’t grab the hood, but his bare face was revealed.
“her… … .”
A voice similar to a sigh escapes me without my knowledge.
Looking at his wide eyes, I thought he was a man, but looking at his fair skin and sharp nose, I couldn’t think of him as a man.
The same goes for the chiseled jawline and ponytail style tied behind the head.
I thought I would be able to tell the gender if I looked up close, but the opposite was true.
Is this guy a man or a woman?
One thing was clear, he had such gorgeous features that it made Bisu come to mind.
If the rain was hot fire, this one had a strong feeling of cold ice.
Sreung.
The guy suddenly pulls out a knife from within his arms.
He gets caught spying, and when he gets caught, he pulls out his sword.
I guess I need to change my habits.
However, V1, which identified the face, sent me unexpected information.
<Chen / Nationality – Taiwan / Hunter type – Knight / No other information is known.>
‘Nothing known?’
That could be because there are no childish hashtags like ‘#FightingMaster’.
In the first place, it was a title given to oneself for self-display.
There were often cases where the association concealed information by keeping it confidential.
However, it is extremely rare for something like this guy to come out as unknown from the beginning.
Either they are hunters who are barely active, or like me, they don’t report their activities to the association.
The more I learned about him, the more frustrated he became, but at the same time, he was a fascinating guy.
“What is your name?”
“Chen.”
hmm.
First of all, I’m not a liar.
“Why were you spying on me?”
“Because it’s an order.”
“… … ?”
what?
Far from being a liar, he is overly honest.
Usually, you don’t confess who ordered you to do it first, right?
“I’m even more suspicious because you’re speaking so innocently.”
“I don’t lie.”
“okay? Then you… … .”
I asked with a slight smile on my face.
“Is it a man or a woman?”
pot,
At the same time, Chen stretched out his sword like a thunderbolt.
Oh my.
I guess this is what happens when you don’t want to answer.
Chen’s attack was much faster than expected.
It reminds me of Yoo Ji-won who turned into a chimera.
It was such a cheerful sword that the smile on my face disappeared in no time.
However, I am also not the Cheon Hae-seon I was back then.
After staring at the flying blade until the end, he raised his right arm, which was holding the Pracell.
Kang!!
With an ear-piercing sound of impact, Chen withdrew the sword he had taken out.
And we looked at each other with the same expression.
‘Did you survive this?’
Chen’s blade was thin and slender, like his own body shape.
I don’t know what the material is made of, but no matter what is used, it cannot beat the rigidity of ‘Pranium’.
However, Chen’s blade, which was thought to be broken, was still intact.

It doesn’t seem to have had any special enhancements like other hunter devices.
“… … “It’s solid.”
The funny thing is, the word ‘solid’ actually came out of Chen’s mouth, not mine.
Looking at that genuinely surprised face, it seemed like he had the same thoughts as me.
Thinking, ‘Can I endure this?’
“Because it’s not made with ordinary ingredients. “What is your knife made of?”
“This is just an ordinary knife.”
“oh. The first time you lied… … .”
Ugh.
It wasn’t a lie.
‘resonance?!’
A slight tremor occurs in the knife Chen is holding.
A bluish energy forms on the blade, and it cries like a living thing.
It was literally ‘sword energy’.
“her.”
I’m so shocked I can’t speak.
I thought it was just the hairstyle and clothes, but it really felt like a character from a martial arts novel had jumped into reality.
There is no other reason why the price of the Hunter device is high.
It is expensive because it has a device that can naturally absorb the ether that hunters use.
But if what Chen said is true, there is no device whatsoever in that knife.
That means that you can put your power purely into the sword.
As for his ability to put his power into a weapon, he might be better than me.
“So that’s why it didn’t break.”
I said that and bent my knees slightly.
This is because Chen’s blade, filled with sword energy, was growling as if it was about to lunge at me at any moment.
Ugh.
The sight of Chen preparing to leap was like a well-forged blade in itself.
I thought there were no decent hunters in Taiwan, but where on earth did such a hunter come from?
Sigh!
Chen’s bluish blade cuts cleanly across the spot where my head was.
hey.
And then you really die.
Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Chen’s swift sword stabs in all directions without hesitation.
The angle was so sharp and tight that it was difficult to withstand it with the martial arts skills I had learned on the black market.
Is this what we commonly call ‘herbivore’?
Before Chen had even launched a few attacks, the situation was completely unfavorable.
A flame bloomed in Chen’s eyes, which had been expressionless the whole time.
They probably thought they had cornered me.
However, at the point where he thought there was no longer any place to escape, Chen’s sword cut through the air in vain.
Boom.
“?!”
The shining shadow of Pracell falls on Chen’s face, which is filled with despair.
bang!
Kudangtang.
Since I was hit in the face with the world’s strongest material, it should have been a bowl of ink.
However, as I expected, there was no visible wound on Chen’s face.
I pursed my burst lips and spat out blood.
“It’s solid.”
When Chen repeated what he had just said, his pretty face became distorted.
“What material is that face made of…” … .”
“this guy!”
Chen spread his sword forward once again with a sound that was unclear whether it was excitement or swearing.
Boom.
But no matter how many times you swing it, it’s the same.
Unless he is a multi-talented person with esper abilities, he would not be able to see through my movements.
This is a fighting technique with the properties of telekinetic power, called ‘Gyeongbuk’.
puck.
“Tsk… … !”
bang!
Chen is probably an ‘S’ rank knight.
My attacks, which have just reached physical level A, will not be very threatening.
However, Chen’s face was clearly distorted in pain.
This is because its power is stored in the plasticel I wielded.
‘rebirth’.
The abilities that Dr. Jin had implanted in Pracell were shining in the confrontation with Chen.
“I’m crying.”
Chen, who had been swinging his sword in silence, was eventually unable to hold on and blood poured out.
As time passed, the guy’s once sharp attacks began to dull.
A situation where the pendulum was tilted to one side.
“It’s a good thing you don’t know how to lie.”
“… … ?”
“You don’t have to tie him up and beat him up because he will get drunk.”
Chen’s face turned venomous, but it was none of my business.
Besides spying on other people’s rooms at will, there is no mercy to be shown to a knife-wielding guy.
I approached the guy while maintaining the ‘flash’ technique, and Chen raised his sword high in the sky.
Ugh.
A bloody resonance can be heard, but it would be meaningless if the attack did not work.
However, the moment I took out the ‘White Dream’ blade from Pracell, I began to hear some strange sound.
green onion… … now
If I prick my ears, I can hear it more clearly.
That sound came from the sword Chen was holding.
Pajik!
‘electricity… … ?”
Now, the current is not only audible, but can be clearly seen with the eyes.
It wasn’t enough to put sword energy into the sword, but the sight of it creating a special property made me stop in my tracks.
Why are there all these guys?
“Ha!”
Chen, who was cornered, kicked off the ground and flew up.
The silver blade of the sword glowed dazzling white, and electric current swirled around the blade.
Gurgling.
Is this the sound that can come from a sword?
Seeing Chen swinging the white sword, I felt a sense of crisis for the first time.
Green onions.
To avoid Chen’s attack, he leapt far back.
It was not possible to counterattack through ‘return’ like before.
Due to the nature of the electric current, even if you dodge the blade, you can still suffer indirect damage.
If that electric current touches my body, the ‘flashback’ will be detected immediately.
“I thought it wouldn’t end well, but… … .”
If you look at him moderately, he is not someone you should deal with.
Based on the abilities he has shown so far, he can be considered as capable as Gu Geon of the past, or even better than him.
I retracted the white blade protruding from the plastic and held out my palm.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
There are plenty of weapons here to counter ranged attacks.
“Taaat!”
With a clear sound of fighting spirit, Chen’s blade creates lightning once again.
Without even wondering where on earth I got that ability, I had to pour out black flames from my palms.
I have a lot of questions I want to ask, so I hope he doesn’t die, but he’s not a person you can deal with with a moderate amount of attention.
‘Poisonous flames’
Grumbling.
Black flames shoot out as if they would engulf tiny Chen’s entire body.
“?!”
A look of astonishment flashes across Chen’s face.
It is too old to avoid, but if you confront it head-on, you will be fatally injured by the toxicity of black ether.
Chen gritted his teeth and threw his body to the side.
Uddangtangtang.
Chen was thrown to the floor, looking as ugly as when he was hit by Pracell.
However, thanks to that, I was able to escape the range of the poisonous flames.
‘Are you aware of the dangers of black ether?’
Considering the battle pattern in which he had been running like a moth to fire, it was definitely an unexpected appearance.
I felt like he knew some information about me.
Fazizik.
Chen’s sword stretched towards the sky generates electricity once again.
A sharp flash of light, stronger than before, fluctuated around the sword.
“Hwaap!”
Electricity that wriggles like a living creature shoots out toward me.
I also fired poisonous flames at Chen.
Fazizik.
Hwareuk.
Lightning and flames.
Two different energies gather towards one place with fierce force.
‘I could really die.’
Of course, not me, but Chen.
I am not optimistic about the situation.
It would sting quite a bit if that white flash hit me, but poison flame is different.
If even a little bit of that black flame penetrates Chen’s body, he will bleed to death from a hole called a hole.
The power of the poisonous flame itself is powerful, but there has never been a ‘human’ who has deciphered black ether.
Looking at the dried wound on his lip, it didn’t appear to have any healing ability.
Pajijijik.
However, at the moment when the lightning and poisonous flames sent by Chen were about to touch each other,
Fushuu… … .
Slur… … .
“?!”
Something amazing happened.
The two energies that were flying as if they were about to engulf each other at any moment suddenly disappeared.
‘What is this… … .’
It’s not like they collided with each other and disappeared.
Chen and my ether oxidized and disappeared, as if they had never existed in the first place.
Just like that time when the explosive dragon, which seemed anxious as if it might explode at any moment, became quiet.
“ah… … !”
I was confused, but when my thoughts reached that point, I couldn’t help but exclaim.
As far as I know, there was only one person who could step in and mediate this confrontation.
She definitely said, ‘See you in the evening.’
I smiled bitterly and looked at the place where the two energies had disappeared.
“Ho ho ho.”
‘also… … .’
As expected.
Lee Sa-sun, she was there.
