Episode 89
The worst day of my life.
Gu Geon thought that day was today.
If the day comes when he feels any more miserable and angry than this, he might rip out his own heart.
Generally, once you become a level knight, your emotions can no longer control your body.
This is because any emotional turmoil is diluted and disappears in the neat ether he possesses.
But today.
For the first time in his life, Goo Geon experiences anger wielding the ether.
Hwioooo.
A feeling of anticipation as if he were about to be cut was felt all over his body, and the ground trembled with every step he took.
“… … !!”
‘It’s come full circle.’
The strongest esper of the Glory Guild.
Yeon Ji-seon swallows dry saliva as she looks at Gu Geon.
Even when I entered the 8-star dungeon with him, it wasn’t like this.
Gu Geon walked without hesitation as if he wanted to trample on everything that was bothering him around him.
Naturally, the crowd takes a step back due to the ferocious force.
As if the miracle of Moses had occurred, the path Guguni was heading towards was clearly revealed.
And at the end, there was Cheonhaeseon.
“Why is that guy like that? “Aren’t you mistaking us for monsters?”
When Bi-su asks with a trembling voice, Cheon Hae-seon shrugs.
“Nandle. “You didn’t even give me a single ten won.”
Of course, I brought something more important than money.
Thinking so, Cheon Hae-seon took a step forward to meet him.
Then, a strange look appeared in Kang Jeong-hyeon’s small pupils.
‘It doesn’t seem like you can even surprise me, but you’re stepping forward…’ … .’
Even if they are the same ‘S’ ranker, the difference is clear.
He could barely stand because of Goo Geon’s pressure, and he couldn’t even guess how much ether Cheon Hae Seon had.
Boom boom.
Now, the distance between Gu Geon and Cheon Hae Seon has reached the point where they can reach each other with just a few steps.
People around them were looking at them one after another, holding their breath.
In normal times, association officials would have stepped in to dissuade this.
However, Bae Jeong-dae, who saw that Goo Geon’s eyes were filled with murder, was worried that a spark would fly to him.
A bloody atmosphere that even the association’s vice president can’t do anything about.
The only remaining mediator struggled to speak.
“CEO Koo.”
Maria.
It wasn’t a colorless voice like it usually was when dealing with Gugeon.
A voice filled with earnestness, asking people not to cause trouble here.
But Goo Geon became even more angry at that sight.
“You don’t interfere.”
“… … !!”
“This is what I must do as the representative of Glory.”
Gugeon’s face was extremely cold, as if he had been transported by the cold wind of Siberia.
However, considering the words contained in it, it seemed like he had not given up on Maria yet.
How can you give up?
Glory Guild’s power.
Image from Glory Guild.
The honor of the Glory Guild.
Maria is the person who symbolizes all of that.
Maybe even more than the CEO himself.
The longer we had been together, the more painfully I felt Maria’s betrayal.
There is only one way to get rid of all this suffering.
All I had to do was bring her back.
“that… … “Maybe I came to the wrong place?”
Cheon Hae-seon asks, picking his ears.
“I feel like I’m going to hit something right now, but the dungeon isn’t in this direction.”
“… … .”
Gu Geon didn’t answer.
This is because I have experienced well that the more I talk to Cheon Hae-seon, the more I feel dirty.
And now, there was no more anger to grow.
“Do you think you are qualified to lead Maria?”
“Qualification?”
“okay. Qualification.”
Ga Yeol-chan, who was listening to the conversation between the two, tightly pursed his lips.
‘It would be wrong to just ignore today.’
Gu Geon’s intentions were clear to Ga Yeol-chan.
If you say, ‘You are qualified,’ Goo Geon will definitely grab you and say, ‘Prove it.’

What if I say ‘I’m not eligible’?
Since they will try to take Maria along that path, a collision is also unavoidable.
‘Cheon Hae-seon… … . ‘What is your answer?’
Ga Yeol-chan’s worried gaze is directed towards Cheon Hae-seon’s mouth.
And soon, an unexpected answer flowed from Cheon Hae-seon.
“At least you’re not an idiot who misses the person in your arms.”
“… … !!!!!”
Ga Yeol-chan closed his eyes tightly without realizing it.
It was foolish.
Why did I think Cheon Hae-seon was someone who would avoid conflict with Gu Geon?
Rather than easing the conflict, he was repaying the provocation he had received.
Gooooooo.
An intangible energy blooms throughout Gugeon’s body.
Now, even ordinary people can perceive the unusual energy.
“What… now?” … !!”
Several nearby hunters widen their eyes and shout in obvious battle mode.
But no one came forward.
He instinctively knows that anyone who stands in Gu-geon’s way right now will turn out to be a rat.
‘What kind of evil is this?’
The veteran hunter of the ‘Blue Sword’ guild watches the scene with a pensive look on his face.
No matter how much they call themselves the world’s best Glory Guild, they can’t believe they’re acting like this at the Hunter Qualification Ceremony.
What was surprising was that no one tried to resolve the situation.
There were various laws and systems in place to prevent conflicts between hunters, but Gugeon was running wild regardless.
[Because we can do that.]
The current era where power is power and everything.
If Glory’s leader wanted to, he could easily overcome the law.
“He’s an idiot who misses his own people… … .”
Goo Geon slowly ponders Cheon Hae Seon’s words.
An ordinary person would have retracted his statement by saying, ‘No, that’s not what I said’ at the sight of his lifeless appearance.
However, Cheon Hae-seon just stood calmly and weakly.
“Then, how about this?”
Kuuk.
The hazy clusters that had been swirling around Gu Geon’s body rapidly condensed on his right shoulder.
At the same time, a danger detection alarm is triggered in V1.
[#destruction tackle is activated.]
One of the few attack skills that tanker Goo Geon has.
Although Goo Geon is a type that specializes in defense, there is no need for a variety of attack skills.
‘Destruction tackle’ alone can turn quite a few monsters into powder.
Aether condensed in one place has a strength comparable to that of pranium.
“If the person I was trying to follow falls behind, I think it will come back.”
“… … !!”
Maria’s eyes grow twice as big and she tries to block Gugeon’s path.
However, Cheon Hae-seon blocks her movement with one arm.
“Please leave. I could really die… … !!”
“… … .”
Looking at his desperate expression, I think he is sincere.
However, instead of feeling a sense of crisis, Cheon Hae-seon had other thoughts.
It seems that Maria showed more expressions today than the faces she has seen so far.
“are you okay. “In fact, it worked out well.”
“yes… … ?”
“It’s an opportunity to prove it. “Does the Irregular have that much power?”
“But you…” … .”
“Trust me, just this once. “Because I have that level of ability.”
“… … !!”
Cheon Hae-seon knew it well.
What is most necessary to lead a group?
In fact, that is consistent with the question Goo Geon first raised.
The power of the leader.
In order to run the Irregulars, an extralegal group, smoothly, people need to be convinced.
By pure force.
‘I feel like I want to kill him… … .’
Cheon Hae-seon slowly activates the black ether within the body.
His publicly confirmed types are healer and esper.
However, that was not all of Cheon Hae-seon’s abilities.
<User information>
<Black ether held: 12,998BA>
<Body enhancement ability: ‘C’>
<Healing ability: ‘S’>
<Telekinesis: ‘S’>
<Owned skills: Dokbo (毒步) – level 2 / Sympathy (交感) – level 1 / Lion’s Roar (獅子吼) – Level 1 / Self-defense (護身罡氣) – level max>
A skill acquired after absorbing the Giant Treasure’s core.
Self-defense strength.
Although its physical aerodynamic power is at the ‘C’ rank level, at least its durability is comparable to that of an S rank knight.
‘of course… … . Even so, it is still bloody.’
It looks like Gu Geon, who has finished condensing the ether, will rush in at any moment.
Cheon Hae-seon put strength into his whole body and spread one foot wide.
‘It’s reckless… … !!’
Ga Yeol-chan let out a low sigh.
I felt like I wanted to jump up and down.
I thought Cheon Hae-seon and Gu Geon would have the skills to compete with each other.
Cheon Hae-seon killed Kang-hyeon, who was catching Goo-geon like a dog.
But that was a fight between ‘Knight’ and ‘Esper’, not now.
Looking at Cheon Hae-seon’s posture, it seemed like he was clearly trying to engage in a ‘physical’ competition.
‘Are you going to shoulder-butt me? Against that Gu Geon?’
Ga Yeol-chan could not understand why he insisted on such a disadvantageous method.
however,
‘This method is perfect for causing frustration.’
The opponent fights from an advantageous position and produces equal results.
If that happens, it can give a deeper sense of defeat than beating the opponent down.
That was the purpose of Cheonhaeseon.
Sigh.
Cheon Hae-seon raises his right arm.
And then cluck.
He motions for them to come in if they want to come in.
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I guess I lost my mind due to fear.
Most people watching the scene couldn’t help but think that.
This is because there were more than a few monsters that had lost their form after being hit by Goo Geon’s ‘serious attack’.
Kuuk.
The densely compressed ether begins to emit increasingly tangible light.
A radiance that is so dazzling that it is hard to see clearly falls on his shoulders.
And soon, Gugun quickly launches the heavy new model.
‘It’s like when dealing with Taurus.’
Cheon Hae-seon recalled the time when he had to defend himself against a herd of cows at a train station.
The method is similar, but the power is on a different level.
No matter how strong it is in self-defense, ‘destruction tackle’ is one level higher than a normal ‘S’ class physical attack.
So Cheon Hae-seon made a provocation with his right hand.
The purpose was to stimulate Gugeon’s feelings, but he also believed that the device on his right wrist would help him.
Pracel.
A bracelet-type device with a brilliant halo of light.
To some, it may simply seem like a flashy accessory, but it contained two powerful elements.
Pranium, the hardest material in the world, and Dr. Jin’s technology.
In normal times, it is used to control ‘poisonous flames’, but in situations like now, it becomes the best shield.
‘How far have I grown?’
The place where I first met Gu Geon was at the Hunter Association headquarters.
At that time, I was afraid of the energy and voice he gave off.
But now?
I am trying to provoke such a man and confront him head on with a technique that can be said to be his essence.
If anyone has watched his growth process, he will feel a sense of a different world.
Kwaaang.
With a sound that makes one wonder if it is the sound of a human leaping, Goo Geon kicks the ground.
The concrete floor shatters into pieces.
The entire body looks no different from a human weapon.
The shoulder, which was so dazzling that he could not see clearly, was dug right in front of Cheon Hae-seon’s nose.
On the other hand, Cheon Hae-seon only raised his right arm in the same posture as he had provoked.
Hit the egg with a rock.
Everyone watching the battle with narrowed eyes was drawing such a picture in their heads.
pop!!!!!!
People once again had to believe their ears.
It was clearly the sound of bodies colliding, but it felt as if a missile had come and bombed the scene.
That wasn’t the only thing that was surprising.
Because the collision was so powerful, the impact alone sent ordinary people flying backwards.
Rather than being attacked, it’s so powerful that it’s enough to just stand around.
I was able to feel for myself why Goo Geon was recognized as the best tanker in Korea.
“Haeseon!!”
“Cheonhaeseon!!”
“Hunter!!”
Sad voices echo in the spreading light.
Even for those who had no common sense about hunters, it was quite predictable.
Gu Geon’s attack skills were much stronger and more ruthless than I thought.
No human being can stand unscathed after being attacked like that.
That is why the voices of people visiting Cheonhaeseon were filled with desperation.
Sigh.
As the light disperses and the shock wave subsides, the scene slowly begins to become visible to people’s naked eyes.
“oh… … .”
In terms of momentum, it was not at all strange for Cheon Hae-seon’s body to fly far away or become a rat.
Just looking at the thickness of the body, Gu Geon’s body was three times larger.
But surprisingly, Cheon Hae-seon was still there.
Just like that, with your right arm raised.
“Nonsense… … .”
“I can’t believe it… … .”
“heel… … “Healer blocks that attack?”
Even if the word healer was changed to esper, there would be no difference.
No matter what type he was, there was no human who could take Gugun’s tackle.
The reason Kang Hyeon beat Gu Geon up like a dog all those years ago was because he blocked his movements, not because he received the tackle with his body.
In that sense, it was like a miracle that Cheon Hae-seon was standing strong.
however,
Whoops.
That wasn’t the only surprising thing.
A handful of blood burst out from Gugeon’s mouth.
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
A phenomenon that occurs to anyone who uses too much ether.
But the problem was that the target was Gu Geon.
“Are you okay?”
Familiar voices are heard from people.
A voice that may seem friendly at first glance, but has a lot of mocking meaning.
“That’s easy to become a habit.”
It’s a habit.
what?
Everyone’s eyes turn from Cheon Hae-seon to Gu Geon-i.
And soon, the gazes of those watching were filled with astonishment.
Sloppy… … .
A fact that people couldn’t see because they were vomiting blood.
Gugeon’s right arm was dislocated and he was shaking helplessly.
