Episode 201
“This place is the same.”
Considering that most of the upper-level hunters were attacked, there was no change in the black market here that felt peaceful.
The face of the watchman who opened the door was the same, and many people were still crowded inside and outside the store.
“Yingsen.”
“hmm?”
“Now that I think about it, I’m curious. “If Yasha is a super-level hunter like you said, why didn’t he receive any attacks?”
“I also came up with several hypotheses about that. “There are two most plausible options left.”
“two? What?”
Yingsen’s glasses sparkled for a moment.
“One is that the location is unclear. Other super level hunters were in an area where you could easily find them. Even in the case of Chairman Lee Sa-soon… … It was the headquarters building of the Korea Hunter Association that suffered a disaster. But Yaksha is different. It’s hard for even fellow Five Siders to know where he is or where he goes. Even on the black market, he appears once or twice a week.”
“That makes sense.”
Of course, there must have been a way to find it.
All we have to do is wipe out the black market here and wait for the yaksha to come.
However, the process of them killing the transcendental hunters was all accomplished in a short period of time.
It’s probably because of the ‘dimensional interference’ that Crassus Dragon mentioned.
In that sense, Yasha could be said to be a very difficult entity to defeat.
“What about the other one?”
“It’s a simpler reason. “The Yaksha was too strong to be defeated.”
“hmm. “That also makes sense.”
I may say so myself, but I have achieved tremendous growth in a short period of time.
How amazing is it that a hunter who had nothing but poison became a multi-talented person with Merus in just two years?
If you compare the day you first met the yaksha to now, the difference is clearly visible.
But despite this, there was one fact that did not change.
I still feel intimidated when I come face to face with a yaksha.
If the appearance or atmosphere had simply been scary, the feeling would have disappeared long ago.
But even when I recently met a yaksha, I had to feel the tension that made my hair stand on end.
Yaksa is strong.
If I vaguely felt that way before, now I know why.
This is because he is a transcendent level hunter who is stronger than Cylia or Ingsen.
“It’s been a while.”
A beast with rock-hard muscles and sparkling raw eyes greets you.
okay.
The stronger I become, the more I feel how strong that person is.
Instead of saying hello, I started by asking questions.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“What do you mean?”
I feel like I already know everything, but I’m trying to tell the other way.
There was a piece of monster flesh stuck in the tooth that was exposed while smiling.
He seems like a dirty and ignorant guy.
“That you were a super-level hunter.”
“Because I never asked.”
“… … .”
I have nothing to say when it comes out like that.
Even if I asked you, you have no obligation to answer me truthfully.
This guy and I had a strictly business relationship from beginning to end.
“Did you even know from the beginning that I was related to Kirill?”
“of course.”
“how?”
“It’s rare for a crazy person to go into a poison dungeon alone and dig up rare herbs.”
“It feels strange to hear a crazy person call me crazy.”
“Hehehehe.”
A low sound of laughter fills the large cave.
It was a deep, eerie voice that could not be believed to be a human voice.
“Yacha.”
Yingsen bowed his head to the yaksha in a polite manner.
“I know you hate customers who come empty-handed and have nothing to trade. However, given the urgency of the matter, I hope you will understand.”
What are you talking about?
So, does that mean that the Five Siders also had to bring goods to trade in order to meet Yasha?
“her. “Your identity as a market owner is great.”
The Yaksha burst into laughter at my taunting.
“You may have heard the news, but Chairman Lee Sa-soon passed away. In addition, many transcendent level hunters were attacked by demons and died. As fellow Five Siders, we would like to obtain information from Yasha.”
“For what?”
“Mains. And about the war 10 years ago.”
Did I eat a tasteless part?
Or maybe I just didn’t want to think about it.
The Yaksha spat out the piece of meat it was chewing.
Then one of his subordinates ran over there and cleaned up the chewed meat.

A very king.
“okay. “If you are a member of the Five Siders, you should talk about it.”
The Yasha’s head is bent in a strange direction.
Where the gaze ended, there I was.
“But what is he? As far as I know, that guy from Cheonhaesun is not Pis Siders.”
Why do you keep being such a brat?
Ingsen hesitated, looking a bit embarrassed, but I stuck out my stomach and raised my voice.
“hey. Let’s say Yingsen heard it alone. “As long as you don’t tie Ying Sen’s mouth, you will definitely tell me. Does that have any meaning?”
“That’s a good idea.”
The Yaksha stood up with a terrible smile.
what.
Are you really going to sew it?
When I turned my head and looked to the side, Yingsen’s complexion turned blue.
It seemed that Yingsen was much more afraid of Yaksha than I was.
What kind of power does that guy have?
“I remember the first time I came here to trade rare herbs.”
The Yaksha trudged down the stairs with a look on her face filled with memories.
“Honestly, I thought the rare herbs I brought back then were 100% stolen goods. “Because back then you were thousands of times weaker than you are now.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“I called in a poison monster to make sure you brought it yourself. “Do you remember?”
“of course.”
At that time, I had to deal with a ‘polluted hyena’ that suddenly appeared.
Of course, I killed him with a single sword like I did in the dungeon.
however.
Why are you bringing up the past again?
“There is a need to verify. “Just like when you first brought the movie.”
“Verification is a freezing sword… … .”
-Krrr… … .
I hurriedly turned my back without speaking.
Because a creature that shouldn’t be here was staring at me.
“mind… … Monster?!”
* * *
“how?”
Looking at Yingsen’s wide eyes, it looks like he doesn’t know what’s going on.
‘Is it a trick?’
No, it looked too much like the guy I saw in the spirit world to be considered a trick.
Deformed limbs that are not symmetrical and white eyes that look like they have been turned upside down.
Even the black energy that gently spreads out.
That guy is 100% certain to be a monster.
The question is, how did this suddenly appear?
‘Looking at the circumstances, it seems like that guy called me.’
I was equally embarrassed, but I was able to come to my senses faster than Ingsen.
It’s not the first time you suddenly encounter a monster in the black market.
‘Polluted hyenas’ also used to suddenly appear in places where there was nothing.
-Krrr… … .
The monster’s claws were looking directly in my direction.
I didn’t receive any specific orders from the yaksha.
‘perhaps… … .’
With a hypothesis in mind, I slowly closed my eyes.
Buuuuung.
When I activated the energy of Merus throughout my body, my entire body was filled with golden energy.
I heard an exclamation of ‘ho-oh’ from somewhere over there, but I couldn’t afford to pay attention to it.
This is because the monster that was squirming towards me flew into my shoulder.
Sreuk.
I turned my upper body halfway to avoid the monster’s claws.
Wounds inflicted by monsters do not heal well.
Just like when you get hit by a poison monster.
‘Everything is the same as the monster I faced before.’
After dodging several attacks, I came to that conclusion.
Not only the appearance, but also the movement of the body and the black energy radiating out were all the same.
The reason I didn’t counterattack while the monster was attacking wasn’t because I was embarrassed.
I just needed to confirm if it was really a monster or if it was just a trick.
Buuuung.
I took out Merus’s blade from Prasel.
The light was strong enough to brighten up the dark underground black market.
“hmm.”
A small exclamation is heard from the yaksha.
Somehow, there seems to be a welcome energy in the voice.
-Cow!
When the monster discovers Merus, it cries out fiercely.
Judging by the way he frowns his ugly face, it seems he doesn’t like this Merus’ energy.
Pot.
It raised its front paws and ran into my waist.
Aside from the characteristics of being a monster, he is close to a low-level mob.
I used the blade’s superior range to cut off its head before its claws could reach it.
Suddenly.
-Quick… … !
Before the scream was even completed, the monster’s head rose into the air.
After defeating Goo Geon, who became a chimera in the spirit world, it is not a task to take down even a single mob like this.
dump.
The body of the monster that lost its head fell down helplessly.
I took my gaze away from him and turned towards the yaksha.
“The situation is similar to back then.”
“Hehehe. okay. Even back then, you proved your strength by cutting down a poison monster with a single sword.”
“Is this enough proof?”
“Of course. It may seem very easy to someone who doesn’t know it, but defeating monsters is difficult even for S rankers. “Any hunter who can kill monsters deserves to hear the story of the war 10 years ago.”
When the Yaksha gestured, one of his subordinates came out and said he would guide us.
As I was about to nod without thinking, I had to hastily look away.
‘It’s gone… … !’
This is because the monster’s energy disappeared everywhere.
Even though they have already died, magical power flows out of their bodies for a certain period of time even after they die.
But now, not a single ounce of magic power could be felt from its corpse.
no.
To be more precise, the body itself was not visible.
“It’s not like anyone cleaned it up… … .”
Ingsen looked around with narrowed eyes as if he was thinking the same thing.
that’s right.
Now that I think about it, I remember having the same experience before.
The polluted hyena that I cut down when I first came to the black market was also completely gone.
Given the circumstances, it seemed certain that they were the ones summoned by the yaksha, both then and now.
“It appears from nowhere and disappears without a trace… … .”
Isn’t this no different from the Red Viper that I summon?
A name given by V1 when the poisoner level reaches 2.
Summoner.
Maybe the yaksha’s abilities have something to do with it.
“Was your type a summoner when you were a hunter?”
When I asked the yaksha walking ahead of me, his shoulders slightly vibrated.
Are you smiling?
“It was like that back then.”
“then?”
“okay. “Even before I entered the war, I was nothing more than a simple summoner.”
Yasha spoke humbly(?), but the summoner’s ability was as rare as the ‘buff’ ability.
Because the ability to embody a being from another dimension into the ether was itself a highly advanced ability.
That’s probably why Yingsen, who has similar abilities, received the title of ‘super-superior’.
“But in that war, I was able to ‘bloom’ one ability. “It started after it ate a nearby monster.”
“!”
Maybe I heard it wrong.
what… … You ate it?
“… … Do you have a strange appetite? … .”
“Khahahahaha.”
The vibration in my shoulder became even louder than before.
Suddenly the yaksha stopped walking and glanced back.
“Do you think I eat monster meat because it’s so delicious?”
“… … ?”
“Because only by eating it can it become mine. “We have to eat to bring those who have crossed the threshold of the underworld back to this place.”
“that… … then… … .”
There was a type that was passed down like a myth because we rarely saw actual cases.
A being that can control the dead like limbs.
A master of the four worlds who can make those who are already dead his own.
“Necromancer… … ?”
Did he like my guess?
The Yaksha was smiling, showing its sharp teeth.
