Episode 221
“Did you get rid of it… … ?”
Normally, it was something you shouldn’t say even if you were unlucky.
However, Jeong Soo-min could not stop the words from coming out.
Because it was such an earnest wish.
“It seems so.”
Chen answered calmly and then put the Pranium Sword into its sheath.
Sreung.
The eyes of the Glory Guild Hunters watching Chen were full of surprise, admiration, and envy.
‘amazing… … . I finally defeated the chimera.’
‘Are all Irregular Hunters this strong?’
‘I heard he’s a hunter from Taiwan… … ‘What kind of training did you do?’
‘How did Cheon Hae-seon recruit such a knight?’
‘Lightning comes out of a sword. ‘He’s a type I’ve never heard of.’
However, the longing gaze toward Chen did not last very long.
Before he could take a few steps, his lower body gave out.
Stumbling.
widely.
Maria managed to support his crumbling body.
At the same time, her healing power covered Chen’s body.
“I’m so exhausted that I won’t be able to do it right away… … “Her strength will return soon.”
“Thank you.”
In fact, the complexion of Maria who healed him was not very good.
This is because the number of Glory Guild members who were injured was so high.
Kang Jeong-hyun’s expression while waiting for Chen was not much different.
This is the first time that ‘rain’ has been sent through Anima.
It was a task that required much more energy than he expected.
“This is ridiculous. everyone.”
A faint sneer appeared on Chen’s face.
At least the three people here are conscious.
Yuk Cheol-wan and Bi-su had not even regained consciousness yet.
Chen. Maria. Kang Jeong-hyeon. Yuk Cheol-wan. Dagger.
The Irregulars, without Cheon Hae-seon, literally suffered a bloody battle.
And as a result of fighting so fiercely, a clear harvest was achieved.
This is the harvest of catching a chimera ‘without a deep sea line.’
“Okay… … .”
Bisu was the first to come to his senses.
She roughly stroked her red hair and opened her squinted eyes.
“Ah-oh… … Seed… … It’s the neck… … . right! “Where has this bastard gone?!”
As if recalling the memory of hitting his own neck with a tangsu, the dagger opened its eyes and looked for Chen.
“die! “I will kill you!”
The beast swung both arms roughly, but there was no way it could touch Chen’s body.
Chen fell at a distance, covering both ears with his fingers.
“Calm down, sister. There’s a reason for it all… … .”
“Why are you freezing to death? “If there was just one more reason, the portrait would have been held!”
“I think the chimera used my sister’s powers.”
At Kang Jeong-hyeon’s words, Bisu’s arms and even the muscles of his face stiffened.
“what… … ?”
“I’m sure my sister saw it too. When the Chimera’s neck was reattached, strange horns appeared on its forehead, right? “I’m getting stronger.”
“I did… … ji?”
“But after my sister lost consciousness, the chimera’s power weakened again. I think that’s why Chen knocked out her older sister.”
Bisu felt like he was trapped in cold ice.
A being who can use his buffs as he pleases.
I thought it was somehow strange.
I obviously didn’t send the buff to other people, because as time went by, my sense of helplessness reached its peak.
“I only heard the story roughly. “I guess that’s why the demons are targeting you.”
Yuk Cheol-wan, who had suddenly come to his senses, spoke with a shady face.
What if other chimeras could also use the dagger’s buff?
Furthermore, what if even demons use the dagger’s buff?
It was a household that the Irregular did not want to even imagine.
“Could it be that I was able to use the buff because I was once human?”
Yuk Cheol-wan slightly shook his head in response to Kang Jeong-hyeon’s question.
“It looks like that under the circumstances, but it cannot be confirmed. but… … “I think we need to guard our guard a little better in the future.”
-Quwang!
Pori climbed onto Bisu’s head and roared softly.
“What kind of frozen Kuwang is this? “It would have been nice if I had transformed when the chimera was running rampant!”
– Kuwang.
Pori flapped her little wings as if to say, ‘It’s not that easy.’

Maria lightly patted Pori’s head and then spoke to the members.
“first… … “I think we need to start by looking at why Hunter Jinseung Lee became a chimera.”
“That is correct. “Let’s ask if there’s anything that could give us a clue.”
With Yuk Cheol-wan’s words, the Irregular Hunters moved towards Jeong Soo-min.
“The hunter who became a chimera is Jinseung Lee. He is a knight type, and serves as the vice-team leader of Glory Guild 3 team. Unfortunately, all of the equipment was destroyed, so we are unable to determine how it became a chimera. In the process… … “Most of the three teams, including the team leader, have been wiped out.”
Jeong Soo-min told me the information she knew with a dark expression.
The incident was over, but while there were many casualties, nothing was gained.
If I killed the monster, I would have gotten a core, but I couldn’t even hope for that from the current Chimera.
A fight full of losses and no gains.
That’s what the war with the demon world was like.
“We plan to gather all the information we can, including nearby CCTV. “If I come up with anything that could be a clue, I will contact you right away through Maria.”
“oh… … . That much… … .”
“no. “It’s nothing compared to what the Irregular Hunters have done.”
Su-min Jeong’s words were 100% sincere.
If I could go back to the past, I would like to pat myself on the back for requesting assistance from the Irregular.
In reality, all the Glory Guild did in defeating the Chimera was to buy a split second of time.
Maria’s nearly infinite healing power.
The unknown power of a boy who goes around planting plants.
Chen and others using the power of thunderbolt.
Without them, the eradication of chimeras would not have been even a dream.
In fact, Jeong Soo-min’s feelings toward the Irregular were not good.
During the ranking match, I was eliminated after being defeated by Cheon Hae-seon.
However, Jeong Soo-min was not stupid enough to be hostile towards the Irregular due to personal feelings.
“We will take care of the rest. “We will provide compensation and share information for this support request in the future.”
“There is no need for compensation… … Eup-eup.”
Yuk Cheolwan smiled with a kind face, but was soon blocked by Bisu’s hand.
“You have to take what’s given… … . “Why is this happening?”
Yuk Cheol-wan’s pupils shook greatly at her whisper.
“Me and… … “Maria.”
While Bisu was suppressing Yuk Cheol-wan, Su-min Jeong called Maria.
“yes?”
“I have something urgent to tell you.”
While the Irregular was preparing to leave, Maria followed Jeong Soo-min to a quiet place.
“Have you heard anything from the legal team?”
“As for the legal team… … Are you talking about the Glory Guild legal team?”
“you’re right.”
“no. “I haven’t received any communication whatsoever.”
“hmm. okay.”
Su-min Jeong hesitated for a moment, but then spoke as if she had made up her mind.
“Soon, the Glory Guild will officially contact you. “The content is related to CEO Goo Geon-i’s legacy.”
“… … !”
“As you know, CEO Koo Geon-i is single and has no family in particular. I’m sorry to tell you, but… … .”
“I know. “CEO Koo is from the same Hunter Orphanage as me.”
“That’s right. Therefore, CEO Goo Geon-i designated Maria as his designated person after his death.”
“!”
Posthumous designation.
Due to the nature of their profession, where they do not know when they will die on the battlefield, hunters often prepare for their own afterlife in advance.
You might not know if there is a family member who can legally receive the inheritance, but if you live alone like Goo Geon or Maria, it is essential to nominate a person to be designated after your death.
Jeong Soo-min was talking about exactly that.
“It may be presumptuous, but I looked at the Glory Guild’s public information. CEO Koo Geon-i owns 35% of the company’s shares. “Maria has 15%.”
“maybe… … “I think so.”
“If the post-designation process is completed like this, Maria will actually become the owner of the Glory Guild.”
“ah… … .”
Maria’s pretty eyes moved in a subtle direction.
I had never thought about it that way.
As with any company, Glory Guild had very humble beginnings.
It was a company that started with a penny or two saved while working as a mercenary in another guild.
But now, those pennies and pennies have become worth an enormous amount of money.
In fact, Maria had a stake, but it was only worth one mana.
Because I’m not a hunter for money in the first place.
That’s why I never thought about disposing of my shares even after losing money with the Glory Guild.
But now it turns out that the person with the largest stake in the Glory Guild is Maria herself.
“This is just my personal opinion… … .”
Jeong Soo-min licked his lips with his tongue.
“If Maria returns as the representative of the Glory Guild… … “No one will object.”
“… … !”
She was as much a symbol of the Glory Guild as Goo Geon.
No, based on his public image, he could be said to be better than Goo Geon.
“It can be said that the Glory Guild is currently in a clear crisis. I’ve lost my two strongest forces… … Above all, there is no central point to lead the guild. If Maria comes back at a time like this… … .”
“I have no thoughts.”
Uncharacteristic of Maria, she cut off Su-min Jeong’s words.
With a slightly flushed face, she spoke bitterly.
“You don’t deserve that.”
“… … .”
Su-min Jeong seemed to know what the ‘qualifications’ Maria was talking about.
She turned her back on the Glory Guild and followed Cheon Hae-seon into the Irregulars.
Depending on how you look at it, this could be seen as a ‘betrayal’.
So Maria had a sense of debt to the Glory Guild members.
No matter how much of Goo Geon’s stake is transferred, does it make sense for him to return as the representative of an organization that he voluntarily abandoned?
Maria’s face looked more determined than ever.
But Su-min Jeong did not give up.
“We all know this. “It’s not the Glory Guild members who turned away from Maria, but Gu Geon, the representative.”
“… … .”
“Please think about it seriously. Maria, you may not want to think about it, but you will have to make a choice sooner or later, even if it is because of the posthumous designation.”
Maria deep in thought.
She soon let out a small sigh and nodded.
“It’s a story too heavy for me to bear. “I will ask for advice from people around me.”
“If the people around you… … .”
“The people I depend on.”
Jeong Soo-min was able to quickly understand who the people Maria was referring to were.
Even within the Glory Guild, which had a huge number of hunters, she did not build any special friendships.
Now they were the only people she could turn to for advice.
The Irregular members who had been with her through the ups and downs until just before.
Jeong Soo-min thought of their faces one by one.
‘okay… … . Although they were all a little peculiar, they didn’t seem to have bad natures. I’m sure he will give Maria some helpful advice. Except for one person… … .’
There is only one person who is not here.
Jeong Soo-min thought of his face and twisted her mouth.
This is because, if possible, he did not want Maria to be consulted by him.
Of course, he is not an evil person.
However, he was a person whose thoughts were completely unknown.
“In some cases, it might be possible to eat Glory Guild raw?”
“That’s right. Eat it raw without taking any action… … .”
I was so deep in thought that I answered incoherently and quickly closed my mouth.
I realized too late that the question was asked by someone other than Maria.
If you think about it, there is no way Maria would ask such a vulgar question as just now.
“no… … !”
Coincidentally, the person who asked the question was the person Jeong Soo-min was most reluctant to ask.
“I came here at some point… … ?”
“no way. “It’s not that important.”
Even the predator-type monsters I saw in the dungeon didn’t have eyes filled with greed like they do now.
With eyes shining brighter than gold, Cheon Hae-seon draped one arm over Jeong Soo-min’s shoulder.
“Designated after death… … “Can you explain it to me again?”
