Episode 184
Most of my colleagues were leisurely exploring the spirit world.
The process of collecting samples that cannot be obtained in the human world and accumulating data on local climate and zero pressure through machines provided by the association.
If only the hunters could adapt to the suffocating spiritual pressure, it would probably be a world that felt more peaceful than the human world.
“… … .”
However, there was one hunter who felt a sense of strangeness while looking at the peaceful spirit world.
“… … “Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Chen slowly approached Cheon Hae-seon and asked.
“That’s strange. what?”
“It’s been over a week since we explored the spirit world. But does it make sense that you can’t see a single ant baby?”
“hmm.”
Cheon Hae-seon actually had the same thoughts as Chen.
In the case of the ‘Hidden Dungeon’, which is believed to be an area on the outskirts of the spirit world, one could encounter various spirit creatures as soon as the door was opened.
“that’s right. There were so many spirits in the Hidden Dungeon that I ran over my feet. To top it off, Seol-gi almost died from a stone thrown by Uncle Cheol-wan as a test, right?”
“But what about this place?”
“… … .”
As Chen said, despite repeated explorations, not even a single spirit creature could be found.
Because the existence of the Hidden Dungeon was so top secret, it could not be talked about openly, but the sense of discomfort was felt by all Irregular members.
I think it was because it was the other hunters’ first time in the spirit world, but the Maverick had already experienced the spirit world, which was full of spirit creatures.
This is the spirit world.
However, it is quite different from the spirit world experienced in the Hidden Dungeon.
Where does the cause of that difference come from?
When Chen didn’t think about leaving, Cheon Hae-seon spoke out what he had been saying.
“actually… … .”
“?”
“It’s been raining continuously since the day before yesterday? “For my own exploration purposes.”
“however?”
“It’s not coming back.”
“… … !”
‘Rain’ is one of Cheon Hae-seon’s special abilities.
Although Chen did not fully understand its abilities yet, he knew that he would carry out missions to distant places like scouts and then return.
“Are you saying ‘Rain’ was harmed by someone?”
“I’m not sure about that. It’s been the few times that I’ve called out ‘rain’. “Maybe he got lost, maybe he’s still on his way back, maybe he was attacked by someone like you said.”
“… … It wasn’t clear yet, so it was sitting still. “It can only cause anxiety.”
“that’s right. At least, nothing much happened in the area we explored. “I’ll just have to wait one more day.”
After saying that, Cheon Hae-seon took out one more ‘Rain’.
This is the third day.
Because he was so small, only a small amount of Merus was lost, but Cheon Hae-seon felt like even that was a waste.
If this third guy doesn’t come back, then we might have to notify everyone.
Just like the monster I encountered last time, variables can arise.
I flinch.
‘Rain’, which was slowly flapping its wings, trembled as if it had been electrocuted.
Chen wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Rain and Cheon Hae-seon alternately.
This is because Cheon Hae-seon also flinched like ‘rain’.
“what’s the matter?”
“Something… … “It’s coming.”
Cheon Hae-seon jumped up from his seat and looked around like crazy.
Chicken skin grew all over his body, and every single fur was on high alert.
The shitty feeling I experienced in the ranking match was coming back one by one.
slap.
Cheon Hae-seon, who was looking left and right, suddenly raised his head to the sky.
“Chen… … Have you ever seen the moon in the spirit world?”
“moon? no.”
Although I have stared at the sun due to heat waves, I have never seen the moon.
Chen looked up along the Cheonhai line,
Soon, I stared at the two moons with wide eyes.
“Could the moon appear suddenly?”
Whioooooooooooooo.
The two hunters were on high alert.
tornado.
The purple whirlwind seen in the ranking match was wiping out the peaceful spirit world.
“Do it, Haeseon!”
Bisu called Cheon Hae-seon in a voice that was like a scream.
In her experience, that whirlwind was something that could not be forgotten.
The day Cheon Hae-seon’s arms were blown off.
That strange whirlwind had definitely appeared back then.
Whioooooooo.
“Everyone gather!”

“Gather here!”
Silia and Cheon Hae-seon shouted at the same time and called their colleagues.
The Irregular members gathered together in perfect order, and Yingsen, who was excitedly analyzing the environment of the spirit world, also joined the group, adjusting his glasses.
“I’ve seen that before.”
With golden eyes shining, Cheon Hae-seon opened his mouth.
“If it’s the same whirlwind as then, there is a demon beyond.”
“!”
Sylia and Ingsen’s complexions hardened.
In particular, Sylia, who had experience dealing with monsters, was already imbued with Catena’s energy.
I was so exhausted when dealing with a single monster, but now I’m dealing with a being of a much higher class than that.
A drop of cold sweat ran down the arrogant queen’s temple.
“I don’t know what kind of guy will come out, but it would be good to keep in mind the characteristics I told you about before.”
In the case of higher class monsters, there is a high possibility that there is a separate heart other than the core.
That was the trait that Cheon Hae-seon had revealed, and Chen and his colleagues nodded heavily.
“come.”
It is not a whirlwind that changes direction at will.
A huge tornado was rushing towards Cheon Hae-seon and his party, so much so that it could be described as blatant.
“?”
Strange things began to appear in Cheon Hae-seon’s widened eyes.
After awakening the Poisoner, my keen sense of sight began to recognize the identity of the discomfort.
The neck of a white bear resembles a tongue.
One side of a pterosaur’s wing.
A pair of big legs.
The parts of the creature that had been horribly torn apart were flying along with the whirlwind.
“It’s not that there are no spiritual creatures.”
Cheon Hae-seon gritted his teeth once before continuing.
“They’re all dead. Because of that.”
Hearing his words, Kang Jeong-hyeon felt deeply moved.
“Are you saying all the spiritual creatures were swept away by that whirlwind?”
“maybe.”
The peaceful atmosphere of the spirit world changed instantly due to the sudden tornado.
As the whirlwind got closer and closer, Maria couldn’t stand it anymore and looked away.
It was difficult to see the corpses of the spirit world moving around on the surface of the whirlwind.
Hwioooo.
The hunters’ hair blows constantly in the huge wind.
Before I knew it, the whirlwind had reached the hunters’ close range.
“How do we deal with that?”
In response to Kang Jeong-hyeon’s question, Silia shouted loudly.
“How do you deal with the tornado? Just have to bounce it off. “Bring out all the physical power you can!”
At Cylia’s words, the combat hunters each brought out their own skills.
“Activated… … !”
Shurrrr.
The fiber device wrapped around Kang Jeong-hyeon’s right arm rolled up, and a huge black tree branch was created in its place.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Cylia also stretched both hands to the left and right as if preparing for a ‘combined chain’.
Although there were other skills with stronger physical power, it was decided that the current skill was the best in a situation like this where a one-point breakthrough was needed.
Kuuk.
Yuk Cheol-Wan took out the Argentum Gauntlet and prepared to send out a shock wave, and before he knew it, behind Cheon Hae-Seon, there was a huge poisonous snake glaring at the whirlwind.
-Kyaaaaaaa!
“It’s a surprise! What is that?”
“ah. “I called it.”
Silia asked Cheon Hae-seon as if she was astounded.
“Do you know how to use summoned beasts?”
“I guess that’s not important.”
“… … !”
He is right.
Now is not the time to leisurely check other people’s skills.
Cylia blew away her absurd thoughts in the swirling wind and focused her strength on Catena.
Sigh.
And last.
Yingsen straightened his rimless glasses and took out an ether machine.
‘ether claymore’
A large blue machine was created closest to the vortex.
It is several times larger than the firepower weapons used in the military.
The sight of a large ether machine rising from the ground was truly spectacular.
If possible, they would have liked to see more, but due to the circumstances, the hunters focused on their skills.
“Jeonghyeon. Ingsen. Uncle Cheolwan.”
Cheon Hae-seon called the three names, and Bi-su, who clearly understood them, nodded.
“okay.”
Sharalak.
The device attached to the bisu’s ear emits five colors of brilliant light.
And her buff flew towards the people mentioned by Cheon Hae-seon.
Since we had quite a bit of experience fighting together, we were now able to communicate quickly without having to explain things.
‘You’re astute.’
Even in this tense time, it seems that Silia was very intrigued by the conversation between Cheon Hae-seon and Bi-su.
When battle is imminent, there is no time to even say a single word.
Since she was the leader of Steel Shield, their relationship of pretending to be understood was very impressive.
In order to achieve success on the ‘Stairs of Hell’ with only six people, not only the individual roles but also the teamwork is important.
She seemed to know the secret to The Irregular’s success from Korea to now.
‘All preparations are complete.’
Cheon Hae-seon raised a lot of ether inside his body and watched the whirlwind.
Although it was a short period of time, the starting team’s movements were quick.
In addition to conveying information to the follow-up team, they also set up the maximum physical force they could.
Cheon Hae-seon, who does not see much effect from the buff, and Sylia, who is already full of ether, are excluded from the buff.
It would have been better to give the buff to Kang Jeong-hyeon and Yuk Cheol-wan, who are efficient.
And looking at the ‘ether claymore’ prepared by Ingsen, it seemed like a good idea to add a buff to this as well.
“If this side is breached, the damage will spread to the later troops. Looking at the path, it seems like someone is controlling it with will, but changing the direction is meaningless. Blow away the tornado itself… … .”
While giving instructions to his colleagues, Cheon Hae-seon suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Wasn’t the ‘dimensional door’ that brought us into the spirit world in the first place also a whirlwind?
Of course, it didn’t contain that kind of evil energy, but I suddenly felt an elaborate feeling.
“I know even if you don’t say it!”
However, Cheon Hae-seon’s sense of discomfort did not last long.
This is because Cylia’s roar, announcing the start of the battle, echoed everywhere.
“Ha!”
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The etheric chains that had spread to the left and right merged into one and stretched forward furiously.
Using Cylia’s ‘combined chain’ as a signal, all hunters poured out their skills towards the whirlwind.
썣썄죤 죣죣!
A large bundle that looked more like alloy than the stem of a plant stretched out toward the whirlwind.
Quagwagwagwagwagwang.
At the same time, a claymore made of ether bullets attacked the whirlwind,
-Kiyaaaaaaaaa!
With a roar that made you want to cover your ears, the red viper struck its head.
bang!!!!!!
The physical power unleashed by the ‘S’ ranker, the ‘super level’, and the Poisoner together seemed like the firepower of this world.
It is so powerful that it would not be surprising at all if a city were blown away by the shock wave.
‘amazing… … !’
Ingsen, who felt the taste(?) of the buff sent by Bisu for the first time, felt a great sense of elation.
He even vowed to burn all the natural science books he had read if the whirlwind did not stop even after all this firepower was poured into him.
-… … .
There was a silence that made you say, ‘Did you get rid of it?’
Colorful flowers began to bloom on most of the faces of the advance team.
however,
Huh.
Whoa… … .
“?”
The facial expressions of all hunters, including Cheon Hae-seon, hardened.
The tornado, which had been in a lull for a while after being attacked, soon resumed its activity.
“No words… … no… … .”
Not everyone spoke like a dagger, but their feelings were all the same.
Are you saying that it can withstand the firepower of the country’s most elite hunters?
no.
It wasn’t something I could endure.
As if he had lost his temper after being hit, the tornado was spinning with a more ferocious force than before.
“Let’s change our attack method! Surrounded by tornadoes from all directions… … !”
I couldn’t finish Cylia’s words.
The suddenly growing vortex finally sucked in the Irregular Hunters.
“Ugh!!”
I tried to keep my feet on the ground as much as possible, but it was in vain.
All of the advance team hunters were drawn by the power of the whirlwind and flew away in different directions.
