Episode 3
A fairly tall woman is standing in front of me.
With my coat swinging out of proportion to the weather.
Well, I’m also wearing a hood, so I’m not in a position to tell anyone.
What caught my eye next was tanned skin and a bewitching face.
And it was one arm of the coat that was empty and empty.
“who… … ?”
Even though it was a life-or-death situation, I couldn’t help but ask.
Who are you?
Instead of answering, she slightly stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.
As if I had discovered something very delicious.
Surprisingly, she was able to support the toad’s weight with her one remaining arm.
When I saw the toad’s arm supported by its thin forearm, I couldn’t believe it even with my own eyes.
“What do you do if you kill a chicken with a cow-killing knife? “That’s not how black ether is used.”
She said something incoherent and slapped her arm with a ‘tsk-shah’ sound.
thud!!
Then something surprising happened.
Isn’t the giant toad being pushed back a couple of steps by force?
Even if it happened in a game, it was a sight that would make you criticize and say, ‘Why did they make the physics engine like this?’
“… … !!”
What is the story of the sword and what is black ether?
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but there was something I had to say first.
“Thank you for helping me… … Thank you.”
Even though she was terminally ill, she saved his immediate life.
And a person with this level of ability would definitely be able to save his sister.
She looked up and down with a strange expression and raised the corners of her mouth.
“You’re so kind, aren’t you?”
I couldn’t help but look at her in confusion.
I have never particularly thought of myself as a good person.
Because it was everyday life to curse my uncomfortable body.
But she was scanning me with very moved eyes.
well.
Rather than saying thank you, I think it has a different meaning.
“Are you Haeseon?”
“yes.”
“I’m Kirill. “He’s the same poisoner type as you.”
Poisoner?
I think I heard that word somewhere before.
He was active in the past, but has now disappeared… …
“betrayer… … .”
Kirill’s eyes turned cold at the words that escaped me without my knowledge.
But she smiled provocatively again, as if she had never done that before.
“Haha. I’ll take a look because it’s the same poisoner. “I’m going to pinch you the next time you call me that.”
“… … .”
“We’ll resolve the misunderstanding between us later, but first we’ll clean up after those bastards, right?”
Pot!
Kirill said that and disappeared from sight.
Did they use teleportation?
No, she just moved incredibly fast.
“Listen carefully, puppy.”
Not only me but all the monsters’ eyes turn to the rooftop of the building.
A city where there are no cars or people, leaving only silence.
Maybe that’s why Kirill’s voice was heard so clearly.
“You too can become like this soon.”
Sigh.
I flinched in surprise.
It’s not because of what Kirill said.
I don’t know how he could feel it, but it was because an incredibly strong energy was gushing out of Kirill.
Even though it was the person who saved me, it was powerful enough to make my whole body shiver.
I looked at Kirill with a mixture of fear and admiration.
Sigh.
Kirill’s arms are raised and the palms are turned toward the sky.
And soon, a dark red swirl swirled from her palm.
“!!!!!!”
Sigh.
The whirlpool stretched into the sky, then soon became several strands and fell in all directions.
A dark red rain of evil energy falls from the sky!
The rain pierces the bodies of each and every monster surrounding Haeseon.

Burbubbubbubbuk!!
-Kiruruk!!
-Keeeeeek!!!
Even though it was a large monster nearby, it was no exception.
The toad that was attacking her kicked off the ground and jumped, but was soon pierced by dozens of stems and howled desperately.
-Crack!!
bang!!!
After the toad was thrown to the ground.
No living toads were seen.
With just one gesture from Cyril, the surrounding monsters were annihilated.
‘Monsters with a single wave of your hand… … Are you saying you killed everything?’
Is it because I witnessed overwhelming power?
My body is shaking slightly.
“… … .”
If you are too surprised, you will be speechless.
I couldn’t say anything until Kirill came back in front of me.
“Poisonous rain. “It’s the only skill I’ve given a name to.”
* * *
“Tell me your home address.”
After taking something out of the toad’s body, she grabbed her older sister under one arm and ran across the roof of the building all the way to the house.
Seeing her from afar, the expression ‘flying’ seemed more appropriate than running.
I have a lot of questions about Kirill.
How did I find myself in this chaos?
What is that overwhelming power?
Why did you help us?
When I arrived home a while later, Kirill spoke proudly.
“how is it. It’s fast, right? This is called dokbo (毒步). “It’s the only technique I’ve given a name to.”
I don’t know anything else, but I know this one thing.
She must be a braggart.
“There was definitely poisonous rain earlier… … .”
“huh? what? “Can’t you hear me?”
She put one hand to her ear and looked away.
The movements themselves were clearly innocent, but each movement had a strange sensuality to it.
“Thank you for saving me. “I survived thanks to Cyril.”
“Except you. “What is between us?”
We met for the first time today and we are still in love.
She was about the age of my youngest aunt and treated me like a niece.
“It’s too early to receive greetings. “Because there is still service left.”
“Service?”
“okay. “Your sister is in danger right now.”
I was startled and looked at my sister lying on the bed.
I thought he was frowning because of the pain, but now I see that his complexion is not good either.
Could it be that he was poisoned in the gate area?
Kirill sat next to the bed and placed his hand on his sister’s forehead.
Shrrrrrr.
Golden light emerges from Kirill’s hand and spreads throughout his sister’s body.
I have seen a WeTube video of this scene.
When a healer-type hunter heals KNIGHTs, it definitely looks like this.
But she clearly called herself a poisoner.
A person who handles poison can also have healing abilities.
Does this make sense?
“In the first place, polar opposites come together.”
I thought there were eyes in the back of my head too.
Kirill started explaining as if he could read my expression.
“Poisoners live with various poisons in their bodies. Some people say they’re fine because they’re immune to poison, but that’s all bullshit.”
“That’s bullshit… … ?”
“huh. Complete bullshit. No matter how much of a poisoner you are, you can’t live off of poison. We are healing the poison in our bodies in real time. Even while eating, pooping, and even sleeping. “The purified poison is black ether, the source of the poisoner’s power.”
I had never heard of such a story.
No, to begin with, there was almost no information about Poisoner in the world.
Other than the rumor that there was once a type called Poisoner, and that they betrayed humanity.
Kirill turns his head to look at me and makes a strange look.
“Let’s take off your clothes first.”
“yes?”
At her sudden suggestion(?), I pulled my upper body back.
“Kyahaha. Why is your face red? “Do you think I’ll do anything?”
“… … ah.”
Kirill’s eyes look up and down me.
How long are you going to wear clothes soaked in poison?
It was a gaze with such meaning.
If my sister is truly addicted, just my presence nearby would be a threat.
I soon realized her intentions and had to scratch the back of my head.
As I was about to throw away the clothes I was wearing in a trash bag, Kirill lifted his hand from his sister’s forehead.
“This friend. What is your name?”
“Cheon Song-hwa… … no see.”
“He was poisoned and had several broken ribs. and… … Are you extremely tired? “I don’t think this has been accumulated for a day or two.”
Addiction and fatigue.
Those two words break my imagination.
“I’m working a lot of overtime at the factory. My hospital bills are high… … .”
“Tsk tsk… … . If it had been a little later, this friend might have ended up in the hospital. Anyway, I quickly put out the fire. “The bones will heal soon, and you can get some rest now.”
“… … thank you.”
I bowed my head sincerely.
When the large toad approached my sister and me, I felt despair for the first time in my life.
But thanks to Kirill, my sister and I were able to survive at the gate, and she even healed our injuries.
Considering that Kirill was a complete stranger, it was like a miracle.
so.
On the one hand.
I couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s not something I would say in this situation. “There’s something my sister always said to me.”
“huh? What?”
“If you continue to receive one-sided favor from someone, there comes a moment when you have to give something up.”
“… … .”
Kirill stuck out his lips and looked at me intently.
I feel this every time, but it is an off-white color that really makes me admire it.
“Songhwa looks to be in her early twenties at most, but she sounds like an old man who has been through all sorts of hardships.”
Kirill smiles and puts his hand on my forehead.
Sharr.
Just like when she treated her sister, a golden light flows through her hands.
A warm and cool energy that seems incapable of coexisting permeates me.
At the same time, my swollen arm is gradually regaining its normal shape.
Pleasant languor.
I have experienced a feeling similar to this feeling of drowsiness.
When the symptoms are so severe that narcotic painkillers are taken.
I felt an indescribable sense of drowsiness back then, but now it seems to be several times that much.
While I was fully intoxicated with that ecstatic feeling, I heard Kirill’s voice.
“that’s right. There will definitely come a day when I have to repay this favor. But it’s still a long way off.”
“It will be late later.”
I laughed bitterly while receiving treatment.
“why?”
“Because I don’t have much time left.”
Kirill blinks his big eyes a couple of times.
Isn’t this a life-limited life of one month at most?
If she has anything to take from me, she’d better hurry.
However, Kirill’s eyes suddenly turn humorous.
He moves the hand that was on his forehead to his cheek and then pulls it steadily.
“You pretend to be very knowledgeable about young topics. “You bastard.”
“Hahaha. (It hurts)”
“don’t worry. “You won’t die.”
“swimming?”
“There is no need to die. “The reason your condition has suddenly worsened is because of your awakening.”
Awakening.
A miraculous talent bestowed from heaven to catch monsters.
The rite of passage that those who become hunters go through is called awakening.
But nowhere in the world have I heard of anyone experiencing a painful awakening like mine.
Usually, your strength suddenly increases and you lose control, or you become able to use mana.
It was just stories like that.
“Poisoner is a special and unique being. The awakening process is different from that of low-level types. There is no use asking the quacks at the hospital. Well, it wouldn’t be much of a difference even if it was a guild lab.”
Kirill says something, but honestly, I can’t hear it.
My heart is pounding.
Because what I heard before was stirring my heart.
“I am… … “You can buy it?”
Although I was embarrassed, I had no choice but to ask in a wet voice.
Kirill’s eyes widened, then changed into a half-moon shape.
“okay. puppy. you don’t die and… … .”
She said with her eyes shining brightly.
“Soon you will become the strongest being in this world.”
