Episode 96
“Is that right?”
A red viper is biting something with its sharp teeth.
Looking at the scales peeling off here and there on its large body, the lake water seems to be quite poisonous.
I don’t know if it was painful or itchy, but the red viper nervously spat out what it had in its mouth.
thud.
“Wow!”
Colleagues are scared and leave.
They are not afraid of boss mobs, but of the lake water on the surface.
“This bastard… … !!”
Quickly jump out and block the water splashing on your colleagues.
I turned my head and glared at the red viper, but it had already disappeared without a trace.
I can’t believe there is such a disloyal person in the subject that appears as the source of my ether.
… … Did being told to hit your head bother you?
Cheeik.
The smell of burning flesh disturbs the tip of my nose.
Since my body wasn’t that big, I’m sure the lake water would have splashed on someone.
I turned my head to check on the injured person, and my face hardened slightly.
“Umm… … .”
The injured person was Maria.
On behalf of Yuk Cheol-wan, who had already been poisoned several times, her delicate body prevented the poison from splashing on Yuk Cheol-wan.
One of Maria’s shoulders was burned to the point where she couldn’t open her eyes.
I run to her in one step and reach out to her shoulder.
Shall… … .
If it had been the way it was, she wouldn’t have suffered these injuries.
If you were an ‘S’ rank healer, you would have been able to recover through self-healing alone.
But her shoulder showed no signs of healing.
Since all his strength was used to treat his colleagues, there was not even any ether left for self-healing.
I could feel with my own skin how deadly the toxicity of this dungeon was.
“Maria… … !!”
“it’s okay.”
Even though she was trembling while being healed, Maria smiled gently at Yuk Cheol-Wan.
Indeed, when you look at it like this, you will understand why it was given the nickname ‘Virgin Mother’.
But I couldn’t help but scold her.
“During wartime, the safety of healers is the top priority. “Someone who worked at the best guild in the country probably didn’t know that.”
Hunters injured on the battlefield can go out and fight again.
Assuming there is a healer.
On the other hand, what if the ‘healer’ actually gets hurt?
That means there are no more coins left in the guild.
For this very reason, healers are the top priority for protection.
That’s why I nagged Maria.
Because the most basic principles were not followed.
But Maria’s thoughts seemed a little different.
“As you can see… … All ether has been used up. “For the time being, I’m not a healer or anything.”
“… … !!”
“Haeseon said that, right? Are you used to pain? “It’s just that someone familiar took care of it.”
I looked at Maria with new eyes.
Mary’s desire to save people was much more desperate and desperate than I thought.
Even if she wasn’t a healer, she would have devoted her whole body to caring for people in danger.
“… … “I guess I was wrong.”
“yes?”
“I thought the reason you had time to reflect was simply due to moral insularity.”
“… … .”
“This time I found out that he was a lot tougher than I thought.”
Maria gave a faint smile without any specific answer.
Although it was faint, it was a much more dazzling smile than the one seen on the TV commercial screen.
Shall… … .
While Maria changed her clothes after healing, I took care of my colleagues’ minor wounds.
However, just when I was about to check my team members’ condition and finally get up, I suddenly felt dizzy.
Beetle.
“Ouch.”
“Haeseon!”
Bisu runs over and quickly supports me.
“uh. “Why am I like this?”
“… … Doesn’t it seem even weirder to ask such a question?”
“huh?”
“Think about it. “You summoned that ignorant monster earlier, and it spewed fire so ignorantly, and you so recklessly overused its healing power. If you weren’t a monster, would you be able to withstand it?”
“… … is it? But why do you keep showing ignorance? If you are truly ignorant… … .”

I had no choice but to stumble once more as the rain took away my weak arm.
It definitely feels like my body is empty.
Not only was there nothing left of the black ether, but also the poison and healing power that tormented me every day.
Everything is to catch the boss mob in front of you.
I am the boss mob in front of me that the red viper spat out… … No, I sighed towards the fish head.
“I caught it, but… … This is a boss mob… … .”
<squāma / BOSS / type -poison / Kill Difficulty 8 stars (★★★★★★★★) / Physical level ‘E’ / Other levels ‘S’ / Exclusive skill – hide: Colorless and odorless toxic ingredients It causes damage so that it is not revealed. / Exclusive skill – Jonber: Squama’s patience is beyond imagination. Never leave the hiding place until the enemy is out of breath.>
A fish with white jade-colored scales.
It doesn’t look like it’s less than 1m long.
It is a size that would not be considered a big deal even on a fishing boat catching large fish, let alone in a dungeon.
This fish head is what made it so difficult for us?
A warm feeling rises in my chest.
Squama’s unusually large eyes tremble.
Pak.
A brutal kick is delivered to Squama’s torso.
Eh.
Actually, my feet are still here.
The main character who was spitting profanity and kicking was none other than Bisu.
“f*ck! Damn it! “You almost got lost, right?”
-Kheng!
Squama screams desperately and falls down.
Since it has only now been pulled out of the lake, there must be more than one creature that has died from this fish head.
“Dude! “Dude!”
… … You really can’t even find the bones if you do that?
I took a long stride and grabbed Bisu’s shoulder.
“And then I regret it.”
“what? Why do I regret it? Because of this bastard, we went through such hardships… … !! “Dude!”
Puk puk.
“The poison could spread to your feet.”
“Oh my god! “That’s troublesome.”
Bisu stops his actions and leaves as if he has never done anything like that.
Seeing him turn around without any regrets, it seems like he’s already warmed up enough to feel better.
She was given the nickname ‘the red-haired witch’.
They probably called her ‘witch’ to emphasize her charm, but in reality, it’s a nickname that suits her perfectly.
Does the public realize that her personality is much rougher than that of a witch?
-Kerrr… … .
A boss mob registered as level ‘S’ with deadly poison and the ‘hide’ ability.
However, his physical level is at most ‘E’ level.
Especially now that I was out of the water, I was in a state of death despite the rain’s kicks.
Key ring.
A black blade begins to sprout from the plastic cell on his wrist.
I tried to dissuade Bisu, but that doesn’t mean I should look after this guy.
I just wanted to send it neatly and simply in one room.
Not all boss mobs are like that, but those with classes leave behind ‘materials’.
The same goes for this stupid-looking fish head.
There was a risk that the ‘material’ would be damaged if it continued to be kicked.
“bye.”
Deep.
The black blade pierces Squama’s gills precisely.
The fish head’s body, which had been struggling in pain, became stiff.
The dungeon raid, which was several times more difficult than fighting a fierce battle, is finally over.
The process of getting treatment was difficult, but from then on it was all smooth sailing.
Squama’s white jade scales are the most rare cosmetic material in the world.
As Yuk Cheol-wan cuts off the surface of the scale, Bisu’s face becomes stained with greed.
“sister… … . I don’t know anything else, but I have to take care of that. “You know that, right?”
“uh? Yes… … .”
Even so, Maria’s reaction was quite unusual.
I thought he was going to say that he didn’t need that kind of thing, but if he answered like that, it meant that he was quite interested.
Just as Bisu was putting the scales into his arms as if holding a shrine, Yukcheolwan extracted something else from his stomach.
“This is it. This is the source of the ‘hide’ technology used by Squama.”
A pocket the size of your palm contains a transparent solution.
At first glance, it appears to be one of the simple organs, but it is not.
As Yuk Cheol-wan said, the transparent solution contained within ‘hides’ everything in the world.
A magical solution that makes any chemical agent colorless and odorless.
The Hunter Association calls this item ‘Stealth.’
“This is worth the price. “It’s something you can’t find, especially on the black market.”
The act of hiding something is bound to be used in dark places rather than bright places.
Although it is not as expensive as a gold movie, ‘Stealth’ is also a product worth hundreds of millions of won.
It’s not about clumsily removing the taste and aroma.
Just like what happened to us earlier, the effect progresses without you even realizing that your body is being eaten away.
“Mr. Haeseon… … . Are you thinking of selling this on the black market? … ?”
Maria asks with an innocent face.
Unbelievably, there is a clear hint that he is planning to dispose of items that could be used in crime.
Yuk Cheol-wan reads her expression and smiles awkwardly.
“ah. ha ha ha. Maria. Just because something is sold on the black market doesn’t mean it will be used for bad things. It is also used as a medicine for wealthy people with weak stomachs, and its uses are endless. Isn’t that right, Hunter Cheon Haeseon?”
Yuk Cheol-wan gives an urgent look.
It seems like he wants to reassure her somehow since hundreds of millions of won are going back and forth right before his eyes.
But unfortunately, he did not get the answer he wanted.
“That’s true, but there’s no need to sell it on the black market.”
“Yes?”
Yuk Cheol-wan asks back with a face that has hit him in the back of the head.
“Why are you giving this to someone else? “What a useful item.”
“What a yogin…” … .”
“Yogin?”
“So you’re saying you’re going to use this yourself?”
“Where on earth is this dangerous object?”
Everyone, including Maria, opened their mouths in astonishment, and I smiled evilly.
“The day you might need it may come soon.”
Soon, I heard Bisu’s empty voice coming from behind me.
“Wow, that guy is more dangerous than the black market.”
* * *
bang!!
bang!!
bang!!
‘What happened?’
My hands and feet are shaking.
I have never been this scared when I encounter any monster.
Kang Tae-pung, Glory Guild Team 3 leader.
He was the assault type ‘S’ rank knight that the guild was proud of.
Team 1’s Goo Geon-i, Team 2’s Yeon Ji-seon, and Team 3’s Kang Tae-poong.
These were the elite teams that the Glory Guild was proud of.
Although the 3 teams were the weakest in terms of power, no matter how elite teams from any guild in the country were put together, even those 3 teams were not ahead.
Kang Tae-pung had a warlike personality and was a typical fighter who had nothing on his mind other than improving his military power.
In terms of ‘strength’ alone, Goo Geon won by a landslide, but the public opinion was that even Kang Tae-poong was not inferior in terms of combat skills and speed.
The best fighter in Korea, Kang Tae-poong.
He was shaking like dust on a rainy day.
‘like this… … ‘Can I become stronger?’
Kang Typhoon’s top target was Goo Geon.
I hope that someday there will come a day when I can get Goo Geon to surrender in Dalian.
That was the dream of Kang Tae-poong, who was a fighter before becoming a hunter.
Even when Goo Geon focused on business-related matters, Kang Tae-pung devoted himself only to the absorption and training of ether.
In fact, their gap was gradually narrowing.
But.
Kang Tae-poong’s dream, which he thought he could achieve with just a little more effort, was shattered and shattered.
bang!!
bang!!
Gu Geon.
He was a completely different person now.
Originally, he was a person with inhuman-like powers, but now it felt like he was dealing with a large male monster.
With just a slight swipe, his bone, a fellow S ranker, was broken into two pieces, so it was as good as words.
What’s even more surprising is the speed.
In speed, where he always had a slight comparative advantage, Gu Geon was ahead of him.
“Hwaap!!”
Kang Tae-pung pulled out the last blow with all his might and hit Goo Geon on the temple with his side heel.
Was it a mistake?
For some reason, Gugeon’s hand movements seem to be slower than before.
Bye.
With a bloody hitting sound, the side struck the temple precisely.
Even though Kang Tae-pung was the one who attacked, his heart felt cold.
This is because, even if Gu Geon were his grandfather and not Gu Geon, he would have been fatally injured in the current attack.
‘this… … As I was being pushed out on the defensive, I was using all my strength without realizing it… … .’
A look of confusion appeared on Kang Tae-pung’s face, but it didn’t last long.
“I guess I need to train some more.”
This is because Goo Geon took a calm stance, ignoring the concerns of the person who attacked.
‘Unbelievable… … !’
A shadow of astonishment falls on Kang Tae-poong’s face.
Goo Geon lightly kicked Kang Tae Pung’s leg and knocked him down, and that was the end of the sparring.
A dry word comes from him with his back turned.
“thank you for helping.”
“… … !!”
As Gu Geon walked away, Kang Tae Pung looked like he was possessed by a ghost.
Although Gu Geon was strong to begin with, he was definitely not at this level.
Isn’t this like a child growing differently every year?
It was unheard of for a hunter whose skills were already in full bloom to power up this much.
‘What kind of coordination are you doing?’
plod trudge.
Kang Tae-pung stares blankly at Gu-geon as he walks away.
There was a large back like Mount Tai in the way, so I couldn’t see it.
Gugeon’s ‘murderous intent’ becomes more intense as time goes by.
And the image of a demon spread all over the skin of his face.
