Episode 18
-Grrr!
The poisonous centipede trembles its entire body and expresses its fierce anger.
After Exa turned into a mobile type (Booster), it couldn’t even follow my toes, let alone brush past my body.
“Here you go, idiot.”
Eventually, I found enough time to run around his back.
Crack, thump.
-Grrrrr!
The poisonous centipede violently twisted its body left and right, and I kicked its back and jumped higher.
I can’t deal with this guy forever.
Even if it were me, Bisu had a timeout.
The length of his upper body is just over 2m.
If you step on its head and jump, you can secure a view much higher than the ground.
‘Where are you…? … !’
While floating in the air, black ether is poured into both eyes.
The pain felt like my eyeballs were going to fall out, but there was some gain.
Because beyond the desert, a faintly sparkling object was seen.
A unique color seen in the movie.
I finally found a rare plant.
“I saw it!!!”
Cheers erupt out of nowhere.
How many poison dungeons did you go through to find that guy?
I released as much Exa energy as I could while floating in the air.
Piyung.
As a result, it was another leap in the air.
I shot out as fast as a human rocket and arrived in front of the rare plant in no time.
The problem was that I didn’t think about landing.
thud!!
“Ugh… … !!”
As the body sinks from the upper body, sand penetrates not only the mouth, but also the nose and ears.
It seems that there is definitely a lot of trial and error when using ‘Dokbo’ for the first time, and when trying a new technology(?) for the first time.
-Grrr!!
A poisonous centipede, which was absent-mindedly watching my air show(?), quickly buries itself into the ground.
He must have noticed what was in the place where I crashed.
My eyes and nose sting, but this comes before the sand.
sparkle.
A rare plant sticking its head out from the wide sand.
A silver-colored plant with slightly more abundant leaves than the one in the movie, and a noble glow.
It is a silver film.
It was showing off its appearance with bright colors, as if bragging that it was a rare plant that was one level higher than the one in the movie.
I took him away carefully.
That moment,
Kwasik.
“Ugh… … !!”
The horn of a poisonous centipede running like crazy pierces the side.
Even if it had been stabbed just a little bit inside, the intestines would have exploded.
If I had been prepared for the attack, I would have been able to dodge it, but I didn’t have time to cast Dokbo because I was busy collecting silver pieces.
‘It hurts so much… … .’
Pain beyond the acceptable range clouds the mind.
This was something I always experienced when suffering from pain before awakening.
My head was spinning for a moment, but I couldn’t lose my mind here.
Fortunately, it didn’t bite me but hit me with its horns.
The moment he drank my blood, he would have walked the Nether Road before me.
Pushushushu.
purple.
Even that hard-looking horn oxidizes like dust when my blood touches it.
-Zir!!!
A poisonous centipede writhes in burning pain.
After coughing up blood once, I ordered V1.
“again… … “By murder.”
<Changes to Dagger form.>
Keyring Keyring.
Exa, which was divided into two, merges into one and changes into its previous dagger form.
Even though I felt like I was going out of my mind from the pain, it felt amazing.
A hunter device that changes its shape according to the user’s wishes.
Dr. Jin was a much more monstrous scientist than I thought.
Sigh.
When I held out my hand, Exa came into my grasp as if it were magnetized.

It seems that the black ether injected into Exa is reacting according to my will.
Oh my.
then?
The sides are tattered, making it difficult to use the dokbo.
Even if you can use it, you may not be safe next to a poisonous centipede that glows like that.
‘Let me give it a try.’
With one hand resting on your side, lift Exa with the other hand and place it behind your head.
Like an assassin unleashing a spray of fire.
I stretched out my hand towards the poisonous centipede.
Shhh!
A dazzling white blade.
Exa, in a ‘white dream’ state, flies quickly towards the poisonous centipede.
‘fast… … !’
This is a speed that is absolutely impossible just by throwing.
Exa was literally ‘flying’ using black ether as nourishment.
-Zir!
A poisonous centipede whose horn has disappeared shakes its head at the charging Exa.
However, Exa elegantly avoided the poisonous centipede’s attack and then slit the poisonous centipede’s throat from behind.
-Grrr… … .
A poisonous centipede flails around its legs as if resisting the pouring sleep.
However, even the world’s most powerful people cannot lift their eyelids.
The guy put his head down and fell into a deep sleep.
“omg… … omg… … .”
Although it is said to be self-healing, it is a fairly serious injury.
Even if there was a similar monster nearby, it was difficult to guarantee life or death.
‘If I absorb that guy’s core, I’ll be cured all at once… … .’
How much black ether will accumulate if you absorb the core of a 4-star monster?
It was mouth-watering, but if you kill him right now, the Poison Dungeon will disappear.
If a dungeon without permission to enter is closed, the Hunter Association will conduct an investigation.
You can’t trade the opportunity to become a hunter to avoid a little pain.
I guess I should have saved some of my core when my back was attacked earlier.
It wasn’t until I reached the entrance to the dungeon that I was able to return to my normal body.
I was seriously injured, and the poisonous centipede lost its horn.
There is only one thing that has maintained its original appearance.
It was a single silver film, emitting a noble light.
* * *
The tattered side was completely restored.
It’s not like I’ve particularly activated any healing abilities.
At this point, wouldn’t my body be closer to a monster?
However, it was difficult to use ‘Dokbo’ because my entire body was weak.
Since they came at a speed no different from that of civilians, there was quite a delay.
“uh?”
In front of the entrance, Inyoung is seen crouching with her head buried.
It’s a dagger.
You said you’d be back in two and a half hours, so why are you still here?
“hey! “Why aren’t you going out?”
I checked the time and three and a half hours had passed.
The antidote has already expired.
“… … “Why are you coming so late?”
Bisu looks at my face and grumbles.
However, the veins in the pupils between the provocative eyes are tight.
It’s a symptom of addiction.
“I was injured so I couldn’t come quickly.”
“You look too fine for that?”
The rain looks up and down my body.
hmm. This is a bit unfair.
Since self-healing has already been completed, there will appear to be no defects on the outside.
White skin is visible through holes in clothes.
“Explanation later.”
Seeing him waiting at the entrance, it looks like he’s finished his work.
Why are you waiting here, drinking poison?
I quickly wrapped my arms around the dagger.
“Ouch! what are you doing?”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
My complexion is pale, and my voice is cracked.
I ran toward the dungeon entrance with my dagger on my back.
“Pori.”
-Quwang!
As if he knew without me saying anything, Pori swallowed up a lot of the poison in my body.
It is to heal the dagger.
Moreover, in such poor conditions, the familiar Dokdo can become a risk factor.
-Ugh.
Pori burps and flaps her wings.
Are you trying to digest it?
When you look at it like that, it really seems no different from human behavior.
“Uhm… … .”
Bisu’s consciousness seems to be blurred as his poisoning symptoms worsen.
Even though there is an antidote, I can’t believe I frequent such dangerous places.
Are there people on the black market with healing abilities like me?
Once again, I felt the ruthlessness of the yaksha and concentrated the healing power on my fingertips.
Sharrrrr… … .
As the black ether, poison, and healing power are depleted, my body feels empty.
It would have been nice to have absorbed the goblins on the way back.
It turned out to be a bad move to bring all the guys together when we left.
Unless there is an emergency, extra black cores should be left behind as potions.
It was a valuable lesson learned from this dungeon.
“Huam~”
Bisu’s healing has been completed.
Perhaps thanks to the antidote she drank beforehand, the symptoms of poisoning were not severe, and she stretched out with a refreshed face as if she had taken a nap.
“Does everything look good?”
“You should have come sooner.”
“You said you were going first, but why were you waiting?”
“Yeah… … Because I can’t see you… … “Eight.”
Bisu hesitates and then suddenly hits my chest with his elbow.
“Aya!”
Aren’t you stupid?
What do you think of a body made at physics level ‘D’?
Although the black ether is almost depleted, there is still enough to protect the body.
Bisu blinked at the tears and blew on his elbow.
“Shiba. Is your entire body made of cast iron? … .”
“Kkkkkk.”
“Next time, come quickly. “For me, being outside the dungeon makes no difference.”
“… … .”
ah.
Is that so?
There seems to be no such thing as a ‘normal outside world’ for Bisu, who works in the black market.
Is that why you always walked around with your blade sharpened?
“I’ll try. “Can you drive?”
“I have to do it. “No matter how hard it is, I can’t let you hold the steering wheel.”
“Smug on the topic of illegal licenses.”
“Do you want to walk?”
“Let’s go. “Best driver.”
Bisu and I made eye contact and smiled.
“Oh, by the way, did you find it?”
“of course.”
I took out today’s income from my pocket and showed it to him.
“wow!!!!!”
Bisu’s eyes seem to have grown three times larger.
In fact, it is not a dagger, but an item that would surprise anyone.
The silver film shining noblely in the moonlight felt more elegant than any other jewel in the world.
“This is the best of the best. If we do well, we might exceed the billion mark.”
“That’s right. “How much trouble did you go through?”
Bisu is happy as if it were his own business and steps on the accelerator with all his might.
Buaaaaang.
My driving skills are impeccable, but I really can’t get used to this guy’s speeding.
Compared to the ‘Dogbo’ I cast, the car is actually slower.
Why do I get so nervous just sitting in the passenger seat?
* * *
Two months passed quickly.
There were a total of 15 ‘good’ poison dungeons that Bisu knew of, and I was able to secure one silver and five bronze dungeons among them.
I had a burning desire to trade rare herbs from time to time, but it wasn’t always possible to meet Yasha even if I wanted to.
“Why do you have to make a reservation because you’re such a smart guy?”
“I told you. “It was said that the first person to enter the black market was lucky enough to meet a yaksha.”
Well, it didn’t matter much since they said the flowers wouldn’t wilt unless the ingredients of the rare plant were extracted.
Bisu and I headed to the black market on a set date, two days before the hunter qualification exam.
My sister must have noticed this or that during this time, but she stroked Bisu’s head with a very regretful look on her face.
“Please come back to play anytime.”
“Okay… … I guess. sister.”
The voice is full of moisture.
His sister’s eyes were as sad as always, but Bisu’s gaze was fixed on the ground.
Tears dripped down to the ground, and her older sister hugged her with a sad smile.
We probably won’t be able to meet again as easily as the greeting my sister gave me.
Bisu is a person under the control of Yaksha, and it is not common for him to have the opportunity to be in the outside world for such a long time.
“let’s go.”
“… … huh.”
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel sad about it.
But now, even his abilities as a hunter have not fully developed.
Someday, when I gain enough power and wealth, then… … .
“Everyone is here.”
Did he make up his mind after seeing the black market?
Bisu’s voice had become as cold as when we first met.
After passing the subway entrance, I see the square I used to wander around.
A huge market that has expanded to an extent where the end is unknown.
I heard that everyone here rents money to the yaksha, so I couldn’t even imagine the scale of it.
Despite the word black market, this place was filled with the peace of everyday life.
Still, it has a name, but isn’t it too quiet?
Hwiyung.
The moment I think that, a large object comes out and passes quickly between me and the dagger.
object?
No, it was a person.
Someone had thrown a merchant who was trading on the black market.
“Cough… … !!”
The merchant who flew away seemed quite generous.
He must have weighed quite a bit, but you threw that guy?
“Aya!”
The man who threw the merchant passes through me and the dagger.
My shoulder was throbbing, so it must have been quite a shock to Bisu.
… … Look at this guy?
“Give me my money when you say nice things.” “Or your limbs will be torn off, one every minute.”
yes.
This is the black market.
