Episode 63
“this… … “You mean my son?”
With a lost face, the ape asks in a trembling voice.
In front of the table were several ugly, large teeth.
The whole body ignites and all that remains is a few teeth.
Gu Geon is in the process of conveying the news of his son’s death to the association’s vice president.
“That can’t be possible…” … . Am I seeing something wrong? … … Where do you see this? … .”
The ape, who was checking his teeth with a trembling hand, shook his head vigorously.
“no… … . This… … !! “He’s not my son!!”
‘It’s not unreasonable.’
When faced with a cruel reality, it is human nature to want to deny it.
Moreover, Yoo Ji-won’s teeth, which had turned into a demonic beast, truly had a different shape than before.
What parent would believe this if their missing son ended up dead and only remained in this different form?
However, Yoo Ji-won’s death was a ‘truth’ that he clearly witnessed.
The CEO himself came forward to guarantee the truth.
“The last time we saw Yoo Ji-won, he was in a state where his body had become deformed beyond the point of drunkenness. There was no body left due to ignition due to high heat, but it was clearly Yoo Ji-won’s… … .”
“Stop talking bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Considering the heart-warming conversations that normally take place, the shouting went far beyond the line.
But Gu Geon was silently watching his screams.
Isn’t this a late-born child born after 40?
Considering the effort put into making Yoo Ji-won the next head of the association, this level of rudeness was worth overlooking.
“Vice Chairman.”
Secretaries left and right calming his condition.
However, instead of calming down, the ape ended up having a seizure, foaming at the mouth.
“… … then.”
Gu Geon placed the paper document on the table and stood up.
Although it was mutated, DNA information matching that of Yoo Ji-won was confirmed inside the tooth.
The association’s employees stepped forward and politely apologized to Gu Geon, and he silently got up and went down to the basement of the building.
Uggeukgeuk.
The handle, made of reinforced material, is bent into a pitiful shape.
Normally, he would have controlled his strength, but Gu Geon had no way of appeasing his anger.
His hardened face is full of a sad look.
Because you couldn’t prevent Yoo Ji-won’s death?
Because of the behavior of the vice president who ruined our previous friendship?
I can’t say it doesn’t exist at all, but it’s not the biggest cause.
What made Goo Geon feel so devastated right now was because of emotions he had never experienced before.
‘Sense of defeat’
Gu Geon had been struggling with that shitty feeling ever since that day.
The person he was dealing with was not Cheon Hae-seon, but Yoo Ji-won.
However, the sense of defeat that tormented Goo Geon was solely due to ‘Cheon Hae-seon’.
This is because Cheon Hae-seon easily crushed Yoo Ji-won, who he could not control.
‘How on earth do you have that ability…? … .’
I heard that Cheon Hae-seon was raiding the Poison Dungeon.
But that did not prove his fighting ability.
The attack was done through a ‘clan’ rather than solo, and the dungeons were not very difficult to defeat.
Due to the characteristics of a healer, you will be able to be more active in the poison dungeon.
Gu Geon vaguely thought so.
However, during the battle with Yoo Ji-won, the ‘power’ that Cheon Hae-seon showed was so outstanding that you could not believe your eyes.
The formidable ether radiating from his hands seemed more powerful than most ‘A’ rank espers.
Since when.
how.
Could it be that Cheon Hae-seon, a healer type, has such killing power?
While running the guild, I watched many hunters, but I had never seen a type like Cheon Hae-seon.
There was only one thing that Goo Geon could confirm from Cheon Hae Seon’s growth.
Just a feeling of helpless defeat.
Yoo Ji-won broke one of her organs, the ‘Wail of Wailing’, as a show of pride, cracked her hard body, and even caused symptoms of addiction.
Even Maria, who supported her from the side, was also an ‘S’ ranker like herself.
However, Cheon Hae-seon easily destroyed the monster that had embarrassed the two ‘S’ rankers.
The global guild that prided itself on being the strongest force has turned into a joke.
When Cheon Hae-seon defeated Yoo Ji-won, the moment he made eye contact with Maria was repeated endlessly in his head.
Maria’s face as she looked at him contained deep emotions that could not be expressed in words.
These are things I have never shown to myself.
‘Damn… … .’
I was trying to recruit Cheon Hae-seon.
I was confident of that.
The words ‘I will make you Maria’s successor’ were by no means empty words.
However, it did not contain the meaning that ‘you can become a better hunter than me’.
Because I thought it was impossible.

But Goo Geon felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
The thought that Cheon Hae-seon might become a superior hunter than himself.
That anxiety degenerated into envy and jealousy, turning the ‘recruitment of Cheon Hae-seon’ into something that never happened.
This is because it seemed like he would truly be ahead of himself if the Glory Guild’s cutting-edge technology was applied to him.
Ugh.
Someone sent a message to Gu Geon’s personal phone.
It was sent by an ape.
He seemed to have come to his senses after foaming at the mouth.
Gugeon checked the contents of the text message.
[Who is the guy who made Jiwon like this?]
“… … .”
Gugeon showed Yoo Ji-won’s body and said that another hunter had taken care of it.
At the time, I was shocked to hear the news of my son’s death, but now that I have come to my senses, it is natural to want to check on him.
‘That’s petty.’
Goo Geon felt that he was petty.
Because he knew what would happen because of his reply.
However, Goo Geon responded by masturbating and saying, ‘I’m just telling the truth.’
It was because his jealousy toward Cheon Hae-seon was too great to mediate between them.
[The hunter who killed Yoo Ji-won is Cheon Hae-seon.]

“Kirill!!”
The cry became a common sleep talk after returning to this world.
As I look around, I see familiar scenes again.
What it looked like when I drank the decoma water and lay down on the sofa.
The only thing that was the same then and now was Pori rubbing her face.
-dream… … .
As if to help me come back to my senses, it tickles my chin with its small horns.
I carefully petted him and collected my thoughts.
Although it was a faint consciousness, it was clearly Kirill.
Although I only saw her for one day, her charisma was clearly imprinted on my mind.
In fact, even if you look at it roughly, it was an unusual impression.
He’s tall and looks like he’s over 170, and he’s wearing a stylish trench coat.
A strong impression of bronzed skin and one bare, fluttering arm.
I hurriedly shouted, but unfortunately, Kirill did not recognize my presence.
Even if I got close to her, there was no guarantee that she would recognize me, but I couldn’t help but feel regretful.
How he became an ‘S’ rank hunter.
No, I wanted to show that I have now become a proper ‘poisoner’.
On the other hand, many questions arise.
Why is Kirill in the spirit world and not in this world?
Her form was not like a ‘spirit body’ like mine.
It was not just an experience, but the actual body was there.
What were they talking about when they met Crassus Dragon, in a place other than this world?
I couldn’t know all those things, but one thing was certain.
‘The scale is really big.’
Among existing hunters, there is probably no one with a wider range of activities than Kirill.
It’s a bit disappointing, but it’s nothing we can do about it now.
Since we’re both alive and well, we’ll be able to meet again someday.
I stretched while thinking that.
– Kuwang.
“Uh huh. “Don’t touch that.”
As always, Pori walked around with a sparkling petal.
These are the petals of ‘Geumyeonghwa’ left over from treating Yuk Cheol-wan’s wife.
Since I had no use for it right now, I hid it deep in the room, but somehow he found out about it and managed to take it out and wear it around his body.
I wondered what would happen if the flower petals were eaten away like the poison in my body, but fortunately that didn’t happen.
Despite my warning, Pori walked around the living room with flower petals wrapped around her body.
When you’re doing it like that, it’s like you’re wearing clothes.
I laughed and watched his antics for a while.
[That child will be of great help to you in the future.]
This is what Daebumi said when he saw Pori in the spirit world.
[Well, just looking at your size, I think you’ll be much stronger than Pori.]
[It’s difficult to judge ability based on appearance alone. Isn’t it the same for humans?]
[But… … .]
[I can see it with my eyes. Destructive power is accumulated inside that guy’s body. Whenever I feel like it, I will transform into a saint and help you.]
[okay? Even when everyone was dying in the dungeon, I stayed still.]
[I guess they didn’t think it was a real crisis.]
[Hmm.]
It was a very questionable conversation.
Hey Porry.
Do you really have that ability?
Even at this moment when she was thinking that, Pori fell asleep while rolling up the petals of Geumhwahwa.
– Kuwang.
hmm.
I guess Daebum saw it wrong.
* * *
Kwaang-
For what reason is black ether released in the form of hot ‘poisonous flame’?
Looking back on the battle process so far, it may have resonated with emotions and manifested itself as a hot temper.
If so, what would happen if, on the other hand, you keep your mind as cold as ice?
Quang.
hmm.
There is no difference.
It seems that another mechanism besides emotion is at work.
Well, even those who were espers from birth are mostly of the same type that spews out ether.
The distinction between the flame world and the ice world was not created for nothing.
For me, who has just discovered ‘poison flame’, immediately acquiring another kind of trait is no different from trying to run as soon as I can walk.
-Keeeeek!
The Red Viper has definite advantages and disadvantages.
It is unrivaled in physical confrontations, but if it is called carelessly, it risks destroying all surrounding facilities.
To say that he is ignorantly strong is probably what they are talking about about that guy.
We need something to absorb the gold core and tidy up the seething ethers.
<Three new messages.>
When I got home from training, messages were piling up on my phone.
<No name saved: This is SBC reporter Lim Jong-chan. Since you are away, I have to leave a message. I would like to interview you about the Gosong-dong KTX gate incident… … .>
The Blue Sword Guild did a good job of dispersing their own smoke screen, but there were still reporters who could smell it well.
If you organize the events in chronological order, they will definitely be inconsistent.
I praised their excellent work ethic and deleted the message.
<Director Pyo Hyeok-gyu: Yes. I will come to your house tomorrow.>
This was a reply to the text I sent earlier.
Yoo Ji-won’s change was truly bizarre and shocking.
It cannot be simply dismissed as ‘runaway’.
I searched the Hunter Association’s internal network, but could not find any significant results.
In the first place, Goo Geon probably wrote the report based on what he witnessed, so it is no different from the information I have.
So, another information network different from the association was needed.
A man whose status is a supervisor, but whose ‘original affiliation’ is somewhere else.
Pyo Hyeok-gyu.
Since they are a group that knows that I can absorb the Black Core, they may have information about Yu Ji-won’s changes.
I briefly replied that I understood and then opened the last message.
<Bisu: Hey! Why is the written exam so difficult? I solved the previous exam and got 15 points! Help me!>
I lightly pressed the delete button.
Not being able to pass the written hunter qualification test means that there is a serious problem with your intelligence.
If you have 15 points, it is right to just give up being a hunter for the sake of humanity.
<Bisu: Hey, are you chewing?>
Delete again.
I don’t get any calls asking me to come and only spam-like messages keep arriving.
And after a while.
<1 new message>
“oh!”
Unlike other messages, cheers came out of my mouth.
This is because this notification was sent to V1, not to the mobile phone.
<The item is ready, come pick it up.>
The successor to the shattered Exar.
Dr. Jin’s weapon, made of ‘Pranium’, the hardest material in the world, has finally been completed.
