Episode 165
“Come on, let’s go in quickly!”
It’s like watching the relationship between the manager and the miners who lead them to the mine workshop.
One person clapped and cheered, while the others shuffled like cattle being led to the slaughterhouse.
Going into pain without knowing what kind of pain it is and going in after experiencing it are fundamentally different.
The miners(?) truly experienced how their bodies weakened when they entered the ‘Hidden Dungeon’, so they did not lose their pace even more.
“Hey, Cheon Hae-seon! What are you so excited about? “You’re okay with this?”
“no way. What can I say again? “I’m just wishing you and your colleagues the best.”
“Hey, me! Put spit in your mouth and lie, you bastard!”
“no way.”
Cheon Hae-seon urged his colleagues again with a fraud-like face.
“Let’s make sure to train if we don’t want to crawl when other people walk around when we enter the spirit world. “Other representative hunters are probably training like us.”
Then Yuk Cheol-wan answered with a skeptical face.
“It might be training, but… … “I don’t think they’ll do it like we did.”
As soon as the team members felt like they had recovered a little, they quickly made schedules, so the Irregular members repeatedly felt exhausted for a short period of time and then recharged.
What was especially difficult was that it had a different nature from general physical strength depletion.
Exercising hard and running out of stamina and running out of ether are two completely different things.
I feel like I’m a corpse that I bought because I was so exhausted.
Every time they came out of the hidden dungeon, the Maverick companions had to crawl back home.
The training in the hidden dungeon was so intense that even Yuk Cheol-wan, who had now become a full-fledged ‘S’ ranker, was disgusted.
“Why are people who just stay still talking about death like this?”
“… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon’s harsh words made even Maria, who is said to be second to none when it comes to love for humanity, clench her fists.
However, none of the Irregular members skipped training.
This is because I could feel my abilities growing every time I entered the hidden dungeon.
Compared to before, the speed at which ether was recovered was dramatically faster, and the abilities that could be displayed when in full condition felt like a step forward.
And crucially, ironically, the person who suffered the most there was Cheon Hae-seon himself.
“Come!!”
-Kyao!
A white monster(?) that looks twice as big as Yukcheolwan rushes towards Cheonhaeseon.
Instead of being scared, Cheon Hae-seon held hands with the guy with both hands wide open.
Kwagak.
Looking at the size of his hands, they were about the size of an uncle playing with his young nephew.
However, the power struggle between Cheon Hae-seon and the monster was far from such a joke.
-Kyao!
“Tsk… … . “You ignorant bastard.”
Just like when I ran into the lion-shaped guy before, why does the power of ether not work well in the spirit world?
Cheon Hae-seon was barely able to withstand the enormous energy flowing from the white bear.
Cheon Hae-seon, who had been scowling and using dragons, suddenly closed his eyes.
A pattern that I always repeated after entering the hidden dungeon.
The goal is to bring about the transition from ‘ether’ to ‘merus’.
It’s a disaster.
A ray of hot energy surged from within her body, and Cheo Seon contained that energy in both palms.
-Wow!
Perhaps because it sensed a change in power, the monster’s roar subtly changed.
The balance of power, which was quite inferior, has now been completely reversed.
Almost invisible, the subtle golden energy on Cheon Hae-seon’s hand finally completely drove away the monster’s body.
thud.
The monster couldn’t hold on any longer and fell on its butt.
And Cheon Hae-seon also kneeled down helplessly.
“Wow!”
Cheon Hae-seon, who was repeatedly nauseous, finally spilled out his disgust.
Even in a calm state, the energy of Merus was difficult to handle.
Rapidly summoning Merus while using Ether like this was bound to have side effects in many ways.
– Kuu… … .
The monster that had collapsed on the floor stands up again.
Cheon Hae-seon was still gagging with his face toward the floor.
The monster suddenly raises one arm.
Are you trying to identify your opponent’s weaknesses and suffocate them?
But for some reason, the reaction of my colleagues watching this was grave.
This is because it was a scene that has been repeated countless times recently.
-coup.
The monster’s hand, which was expected to strike his head with a single blow, slowly patted Cheon Hae-seon’s back.
Pat pat.
“Ugh.”
The monster was even giving a look of pity (!) that even his Irregular colleagues could not see.
“That’s enough. Thank you, Seolgi.”
“Hey, Cheon Hae-seon. “Have you given me a name now?”

Bi-soo asked if he was shocked, and Cheon Hae-seon, who had found peace of mind, looked up and grinned.
“We haven’t even seen each other for a day or two, so of course I have to make it up to you.”
-Ugh!
“Why is your name Seolgi again? “It doesn’t suit me.”
“It’s as white as Snow White. “It’s perfect.”
Seolgi tapped his chest once as if in agreement.
“They are playing well… … .”
As if he didn’t have the strength to get angry at the ridiculous naming sense, Bisu lowered his head and focused on breathing again.
The monster that had just competed with him was actually a white bear that had been unexpectedly attacked on the first day.
A white bear that was hit on the head by a rock thrown by Yuk Cheol-wan and was bleeding profusely.
Is it because Maria healed her even as she lost her mind?
Unlike other creatures, the white bear was not afraid of the Irregular from day one.
There was a reason why people around Cheon Hae-seon, who was left alone, were paying attention to him.
“Let’s do it again in 5 minutes.”
-Kyao.
The white bear nodded and disappeared somewhere.
It looked like he had gone out to eat grass to replenish his stamina.
“This is really gross. Fighting and throwing up, fighting and throwing up. “It’s almost like people are bitten when they see it.”
Chen spoke to Cheon Hae-seon, sweating heavily.
In terms of combat power, he was comparable to Cheon Hae-seon, but he was also suffering quite a bit in the harsh environment of the Hidden Dungeon.
Cheon Hae-seon took a moment to catch his breath and then asked Yuk Cheol-wan.
“Uncle Cheolwan. “How are you feeling today?”
“uh… … It’s bearable to some extent. haha.”
There is a man in front of you who is going through even more hardships than you are.
Yuk Cheol-wan didn’t want to complain, so he shouted, and soon had to regret his actions.
“I think Uncle Cheolwan is the best out of the five. “If I get to the point where I can overwhelm Seol-gi, Uncle Cheol-wan can take over from now on.”
“Yes, yes?”
Cheolwan almost swore at Cheon Hae-seon.
The ether dries up just by sitting still and breathing, and in the meantime, you have to compete with that big white bear?
Let alone winning, you won’t be able to last even a few seconds and will end up crawling on the ground.
“How lucky are we that he’s here with us? The lion was busy running around all day long. Seolgi is the best sparring partner.”
Have you ever thought that your sparring partner could take your life?
Yuk Cheol-wan’s words filled his throat, but he couldn’t bring himself to say them out loud.
‘Anyway, the environment is very ambiguous.’
After predicting the scary training to Yuk Cheol-wan, Cheon Hae-seon was lost in his own thoughts.
In order to become accustomed to the environment of the spirit world, you must demonstrate your skills here, but if you do so, you will ruin the environment here.
Not to mention the ‘dancing alone’, if you call out to the Red Viper, you never know where this guy will stick his head in again.
A pterosaur that was able to communicate here in the spirit world.
I definitely made that promise with the chicken.
I won’t cause any damage to the environment here.
The only main skill that Cheon Hae-seon could use here was ‘Doctor’, and since his ability was not 100%, he could not overuse ‘Skywalk’.
‘wait… … .’
Cheon Hae-seon, who was contemplating while making a noise, suddenly snapped his fingers.
If the ‘poison’ you have is the problem, wouldn’t pure energy that has nothing to do with poison have anything to do with it?
The second haze bloomed on the palm of my hand.
Cheon Hae-seon decided to use his skills with ‘Merus’.
“good!”
The first skill Cheon Hae-seon chose was ‘Poison Flame’.
Normally, I couldn’t control the size of the flame, so I had to adjust the amount with Pracella, but now there was no need for that at all.
Because the ‘Merus’ inside Cheon Hae-seon’s body was literally the size of a handful.
Pop.
The golden haze on my palm turned into a flame for a moment and then disappeared.
‘Just this much?’
Although he had expected it to some extent, Cheon Hae-seon was taken aback by its absurd size.
I tried to concentrate again and tried several times, but unfortunately the size of the flame did not exceed the size of a fingertip.
“Puhahahahahaha! Hey Cheon Hae-seon! “Is that a modern lighter?”
Bisu, who had little stamina left, burst into laughter as he struck with all his might.
Cheon Hae-seon promised in his heart that even if Bi-su runs out of energy and passes out today, he will not heal him.
‘The good news is that the application itself is possible… … .’
It’s impossible outside.
However, here in the Hidden Dungeon, you can control Merus to some extent.
This time, Cheon Hae-seon tried to cast ‘Poison Dance’ with the power of Merus, and was soon able to create a handful of smoke made of golden light.
“that… … Is this a modern nebulizer? … … Fuhi.”
Bisu once again made fun of Cheon Hae-seon in a dying voice.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t.
Wasn’t it a precious ingredient created through Lee Sa-sun’s abilities and blood?
I had to retrieve the embodied Merus as much as possible so I wouldn’t forget that feeling.
‘But only after this… … .’
I didn’t expect great progress, but the rate at which Merus is increasing is too slow.
Unlike black ether, whose numbers increased day by day, the amount of Merus that could be produced per day was extremely small.
In what millennium will we be able to fight demons like this?
In my mind, Gu Geon, who had become a chimera, and Mine’s face looking down with pupilless eyes came to mind.
And the unidentified wedge that mercilessly tore off both of his arms.
Cheon Hae-seon sighed once and concentrated his mind once again.
Since the amount of Merus I have is small anyway, it won’t be a problem even if I summon the Red Viper.
Since I’ve casted ‘Poisonous Flame’ and ‘Poisonous Dance’, I guess I’ll try summoning the Red Viper this time.
As always, Cheon Hae-seon formed the image of the Red Viper in his head.
Just as esper abilities were activated by stimulating the brain with black ether, Merus was flowed into the mind.
‘uh… … ?’
However, the image of the red poisonous snake is not felt.
As I let the energy of Merus flow, the image of the Red Viper that I had imagined disappeared completely.
Is it difficult to summon the Red Viper with the energy I currently have?
Cheon Hae-seon tried to concentrate even more, but the giant red poisonous snake was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, I was able to find a very small light that required all my concentration to see.
‘you… … who is this?’
A tiny creature that appears instead of a large red poisonous snake.
That little life shining golden is none other than
-Bee.
“punishment?”
It was a punishment.
“Why are bees here?”
What will Bisu be teasing this time?
Wouldn’t it be said that he is a newly employed beekeeper in the spirit world?
However, fortunately or unfortunately, Bisu’s voice was not heard.
Yuk Cheol-wan was waiting for instructions while carrying her, who had already fainted, on his back.
If it was the way it was, it would have had to go back like this.
But Cheon Hae-seon couldn’t do that.
-Bee.
This is because the red viper, or rather the golden bee, created in the palm of my hand was flying towards somewhere.
“Uncle Cheolwan. “Please take the members out first.”
“Hunter, isn’t he coming back?”
“I have to stop by for a moment… … !”
Is there anywhere you can go out for a drink in this hidden dungeon?
By the time Yuk Cheol-wan was thinking that, Cheon Hae-seon had already disappeared from his sight.
“wait… … !”
Like a person possessed by something, Cheon Hae-seon followed the golden bee into the forest of the spirit world.
