Episode 203
“then… … .”
I couldn’t speak properly while looking at Yacha, or rather, Osu.
If what he said was true, the mental pain the yaksha would have had to endure would have been enormous.
It may have been the best choice at the time, but it ended up putting his colleagues at risk.
The red-haired hunter who gave Yasha the buff was most likely Bisu’s mother.
There were many similarities to the current Bisu, both in appearance and abilities.
For a moment, I wondered, ‘So Bisu’s father is a yaksha?’, but I shook my head in my heart.
Bisu’s father was said to have died from poisoning.
The possibility that he is a stepfather cannot be ruled out, but what parent in the world would want to leave their daughter in charge of a drug addict?
Perhaps Yasha and Bisu’s mother were comrades in arms who shared life, death and ups and downs.
“If you eat that… … “Did you know that new abilities would blossom?”
“no. It was just an instinctive action. “My hatred reached its peak and I suddenly wanted to chew them up.”
“her.”
While talking, the Yasha’s eyes, which had been flashing madness, suddenly regained their composure.
“But after eating its core and heart, a new world opened before my eyes.”
“new world?”
“On one side of the summonable targets, I saw the monster I had eaten. “I pulled the guy out as if he was possessed by something, and after that I was able to help Kirill.”
The Yaksha ate and ate the heart of the monster that fell to the ground.
The more you eat, the more monsters you can summon.
Of course, the taste and texture were indescribably terrible.
Although he had to vomit countless times in the process, he forced himself to swallow even what he spit out.
Just listening to the story made me feel the harshness of that time.
“That’s how Kirill and I were able to overcome the crisis again. Do you know what the first thing Kirill did when he came down to earth?”
“… … What?”
“He was disgusted when he saw my face after catching and eating a monster. Hahahaha.”
“… … .”
I couldn’t bear to scold him, asking, ‘Is that funny?’
Because it was too heavy a story to accept with criticism.
“The funniest thing happened next. The spirit world did not forgive humans who were manipulated by demons and became chimeras. “He made exceptions for humans who were not blackened, including Kiril and I, but he declared that he would never work with humans in the future.”
“Even those in the spirit world are narrow-minded. “You know it wasn’t something you did of your own volition.”
“Of course I know. However, in the process of preparing for war, we were provided with information about the core areas where the Anima were gathered. “It’s not the outside, where monsters terrorize and disappear, but an important area that affects dimensional interference.”
“however?”
“That was the place where the chimeras raided first.”
“!”
hmm.
I guess I’ll have to rescind my judgment.
At that level, there would be nothing to say even if humans were slaughtered as soon as they set foot on it.
“Anyway, through the few surviving hunters, we were able to prevent the spirit world’s ecosystem from completely collapsing. Because the demons also gave their all, we had to wait a long time after that. But… … .”
The Yaksha looked down at me and said something meaningful.
“Looking at the way things are going these days, it seems like the time is fast approaching… … .”
It is obvious what is being said at that time.
Even before this happened, transcendental hunters were killed in a terrorist attack, and forces in collusion with demons were plotting behind the scenes.
“I think so. “Unfortunately, the situation seems to be worse than before.”
“It’s not just like that.”
“hmm?”
“Back then there was only one poisoner, but now there are two.”
oh.
Why is this guy overestimating me?
However, the raised corners of the yaksha’s mouth somehow feel eerie.
“You and Cyril. “If the two of us join forces, we can change the current structure.”
Can the words “joining forces” sound this threatening? … ?
“… … “If you can say textbook-style words fearlessly, that’s a talent.”
“Hahahaha. “I have a good feeling.”
The yaksha admitted that it had some kind of meaning, but did not reveal the content.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, I didn’t mean to get an answer.
“I thought the spirit creatures deserved it for kicking us out. But humans shouldn’t have done that to us. Before I knew it, Kirill was branded a traitor who killed the hunters, and the records of the survivors, including me, were erased one by one. That is why there is no remaining data related to the war 10 years ago.”
“It seems like it was a history that I really wanted to erase.”
“Because there’s nothing good to know. All I could do was barely hold on as the two most powerful demons did not appear. In the process, we lost many of our top level hunters. But what if there is a big attack from the demon world soon?”
“Are you trying to say that ignorance is medicine?”
“Hehehe. Yes. People who don’t know the history of war can just live in peace and look after it.”
How would I act if I were a leader, such as a president or association president?
Would you have made the same choice as them?
I had an instinctive repulsion, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t completely sympathize.
“We were disillusioned with the WHPO. “Kiril became a fugitive, and from then on I decided to create a new world.”
“I thought it was somehow strange. “There is no way the government or anywhere else would have allowed a black market of this scale to operate.”
“Hehehe. It will definitely be an eyesore in their eyes. But I had no choice but to follow my own deal.”

“Deal? “What a deal.”
“I said if you interfere with me, I will release hundreds of monsters into the human world.”
“Oh wow.”
It’s not just a poison monster, it’s summoning a monster to the human world?
The word ‘father-in-law’ will become a word that exists for that time.
“They told me not to disturb it because it would live quietly in the ground. She even told me not to show up in front of her again. “Just looking at her face made me want to kill her, or rather eat her.”
“Then he… … Why did he stay at WHPO?”
Seeing as he didn’t bother to ask who ‘that person’ was, it seemed like the yaksha also guessed who he was.
“Not everyone could turn their backs on the WHPO. We needed people who had access to the Association’s information and people who monitored the Association. also… … .”
The Yasha looked at me and Yingsen in turn and then continued speaking.
“It was to recruit those among the hunters who had the qualities of the Five Siders.”
“I see.”
I remember the first time I met Chairman Lee Sa-soon.
He had Chen summon me to a secret place and give me information about the stairs to hell.
And later, it helped me learn the most powerful power, ‘Merus’.
Every time she saw my face, she had a habit of repeating the words, ‘You are the hope of humanity.’
A heroine who fought a harsh war and took on the dirty work of the Five Siders before leaving in vain.
If I hadn’t met her, I would have become a dead person in the spirit world.
“I hate unfairness in business.”
“I know that well because I’ve seen it before.”
Before trading rare herbs, I have seen countless people who have had their limbs cut off by Yaksha while using foolish tricks.
Some people had their heads cut off when they resisted.
Yasha was a person who paid a fair price to those who carried out transactions cleanly, but was indifferent to those who used foolish tricks.
On the one hand, that raises questions.
A yaksha is a human being who also deals with ‘information’.
Why is such a guy providing information so one-sidedly?
The Yasha twisted her lips, as if guessing what I was thinking.
“Do you know why I’m telling you this? To you, who is not even a Five Siders?”
The Yaksha slowly approached me.
As the distance got closer, the smell from him became stronger.
‘This… … .’
It wasn’t the smell of the monster meat he was chewing on.
A strong, dizzying smell of alcohol seems to pass over my nose and into my head.
I’ve met quite a few yakshas in the meantime, but this is the first time I’ve ever smelled something so intoxicating.
“It’s because of Lee Sa-sun.”
“… … !”
“If Lee Sa-soon… … “She would have wanted me to do this.”
I could not help but look at the yaksha with surprised eyes.
Because this was the first time I heard him talk like this about another person.
Does this guy also have something called camaraderie?
I felt like I was looking into the deep heart of a yaksha, even if only for a moment.
To the yaksha with the eyes of a wild beast, I told him some of the information I had.
“At the scene where Lee Sa-soon died, letters written in blood were confirmed.”
“It’s kind of… … Is it a dying message?”
“maybe. Lee Sa-soon left a number on the floor. It was ‘7’.”
“It’s 7… … .”
Sparks flew into the Yaksha’s eyes.
“Septimum… … !”
“We assume that too. “Do you have any information about Septimum?”
Then the yaksha shook his head heavily.
“Not that many. But now that the target has been decided, from now on I will do my best to pursue his information. “Every single underwear size.”
“After I chase you?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Yasha grinned again.
In some ways, it seems like he’s lost his mind, and in other ways, it seems like he doesn’t know what to do with his anger.
I think he probably looked like that when he first ate a monster.
“I’m going to attack Septimum.”
“… … !”
It was a kind of declaration.
A super-level hunter who has been active underground for 10 years announces that he will come out into the world.
I was also thinking of catching and killing Septimum.
Maybe, just in this case, we should move with the yaksha.
After hearing Yasha’s words, Yingsen asked with a worried face.
“Yacha. As you know, he is a demon, and there is a high probability that he is usually active in the demon world.”
“however?”
“yes?”
Yingsen blinked his intelligent eyes at Yasha’s simple answer.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s hell rather than the demon world. “If you’re thinking of restarting the war from 10 years ago, I’ll slaughter everyone this time.”
If another hunter had said this, I would have thought it was just bluff.
However, the man in front of me had the title of ‘one-man army’ even before he ate the monster.
Even I cannot imagine how much power this man, who consumes even the energy of monsters, will be able to exert if he decides to go into battle.
“… … All right. “The first thing to do is to gather information from each other.”
Yingsen clearly looked worried about Yasha’s straight-forward approach.
However, it was not possible to stop the yaksha.
He was originally a man who reigned as the king of the underworld, and because of Lee Sa-sun’s death, he seemed even more reckless.
“For 10 years, after seeing what hunters and WHPO guys do, they always end up getting beaten up. If there is an intrusion, we block it. If there is an intrusion, we block it.”
“It did.”
“But I am different. “I’m not the type of person to wait for someone to come.”
“Strike before you get hit.”
“okay. “That’s it.”
The Yaksha seemed to have figured it out and laughed.
Is it normal to empathize with this semi-maniac?
For a moment, such a question passed by.
“next week. “Let’s meet and make the most of the information we have.”
“good.”
“Hehehe. “Looking at you, I don’t think I need to ask you if you are ready.”
“… … why?”
“Even now, your eyeballs are shining with Merus.”
“… … ah. okay.”
I think my emotions got stronger without me realizing it.
The color of your eyes never turned golden just by talking.
“Yacha. Please reconsider your decision to jump into the demon world. If you are careful, you will be threatened not only by Septimum but also by other demons… … .”
Yingsen, perhaps worried, gave Yasha some advice.
However, that advice was quashed with a single gesture from the Yaksha.
“don’t worry. “I’m not an idiot who can’t even think about that.”
“There is another way… … “What do you mean?”
“okay. So you guys… … .”
The Yaksha flashed its fierce teeth and spoke to us.
“It would be best to think of the most miserable way to kill him.”
