Poison-Eating Healer Chapter 97

Episode 97

After sparring with Kang Tae-pung, Gu Geon held his hands together and pressed them, which were slightly trembling.

‘I almost killed him.’

The longer his fists crossed, the more clearly he was able to see the changes in himself.

My movements became lighter, my strength increased, and I could clearly see the opponent’s movements.

But the biggest change was something else.

Murderous intent.

It was definitely not a ‘fighting spirit’ to beat the opponent.

The thought of wanting to twist Kang Tae-poong’s neck right away rose up to my chin.

The reason he still had left was desperately trying to suppress his killing intent, and the Glory Guild almost lost a key member of its force.

The dark matter experiment was successful.

Starting from a very small amount of 0.1%, 1% of the collected dark matter was now injected into Gugeon’s body.

The head of the guild research center checked his physical condition with another nosebleed, and the results exceeded expectations.

While Gugeon’s ether level increased by 30%, no special aftereffects appeared.

I only put in 1%, but it’s 30%.

Dark matter was an item of enormous value that could not be converted into money.

‘More quantities are needed.’

Even though he had already widened a huge gap with Typhoon Kang, Gu Geon was not satisfied.

This is because he knows that he still does not have enough strength to catch the ‘guy’ he has targeted.

His body almost moved out of control due to the momentary impulse, but his reason was able to endure it.

If you strengthen your mental power and absorb more dark matter, you will be able to rip Cheonhaesun in half.

‘No, I wonder if there is any need to maintain mental strength.’

Wouldn’t it be enough to just kill them all?

The killing intent that had been suppressed in Gu Geon’s heart blooms again.

A truth I had known for a long time, but felt painfully once again.

Power is law and everything.

The people who were hesitant when they had overwhelming power, once they found a loophole, they rushed in like hyenas.

The association sent an official letter saying that a reduction in jurisdiction next year was inevitable, this new hunter recorded the lowest recruitment rate ever, and the guild preference poll, which was already bad, hit rock bottom.

And the most important change of all.

Maria left the Glory Guild.

Everything is a result of lack of strength.

Even though all the scheduled schedules were completed, Gugeon’s next destination was not home.

He planned to return straight to the Gangnam laboratory and administer some more dark matter.

I felt anxious because I could see the results, but I also needed to hurry to meet the ‘schedule’.

‘Hunter Ranking Battle.’

Isn’t this a most appropriate event to show off our strengthened military power?

Even after sparring, Gu Geon’s whole body was overflowing with energy, rather than wasting his stamina.

How long has it been since I felt this sense of elation?

Without even realizing it, Goo Geon was pacing his steps more and more quickly.

When I left the dungeon and turned on my phone, two alarms popped up.

One was a missed call and the other was a text message.

[I have something to tell you. Please contact me when you are available.]

Both came from Supervisor Pyo Hyuk-gyu.

‘What’s happening again this time?’

There are two main types of work related to Pyo Hyeok-gyu.

The work of the Hunter Association.

And things related to the ‘separate group’ to which he belongs.

There was currently no way to confirm which one it was.

Besides, right now, there was a more urgent problem than Pyo Hyuk-gyu.

“How do I share this…” … .”

After leaving the dungeon, we went to a suitable clearing and put down our bags.

Like toothpicks in a container, the bee stingers of ‘Venom Rain’ were packed tightly together.

We’ve entered dungeons together many times before, but the five of us have never moved together like this.

Just because you lead a battle well doesn’t make you a leader.

Perhaps it could be said that ‘distribution’ is more important than combat when it comes to leadership.

“Let’s just take as much as we can hold in both arms.”

“… … “Are you saying that now?”

Bisu furrows his brow at my suggestion.

And then he makes a somewhat unexpected statement.

“I’ll take just a little. “Please keep my share to a minimum.”

“and. What is this? A person who would be sad to be second only to someone who loves money. “The sun will rise in the west, right?”

“Mr. Woo. “I also have a conscience, right?”

Items that cost hundreds of thousands of won each.

Plus, it doesn’t weigh that much.

However, Bisu and Maria only took enough bee stings to be able to catch them with one hand.

“Besides, we got something much better than a bee sting.”

The fish head in this dungeon… … No, it was ‘Squama’, the boss mob.

The scales extracted from its body were something that even world-class actors were unable to obtain.

Perhaps because he already possesses something more important than money, the person who can be said to be second only to material greed is willing to take a step back.

Bisu glanced at Maria with a repentant smile, and she bowed her head with an embarrassed smile.

To be honest, just looking at their appearance makes you wonder if they need to level up any more, but just as hunters endlessly pursue ‘strength’, the same goes for beauty.

“It’s a big deal. “I still get scolded by her wife sometimes.”

Yuk Cheolwan said with a humorous smile.

“A bruise?”

“Yes, Hunter Haeseon Cheon. Aren’t you working with two of the most beautiful hunters in our country? “He scolded me by saying how happy I would be to go to work.”

“haha. “You should be careful what you say at home.”

“A married man like me only needs to be seen by one person, but for Hunter Cheon Hae-seon, it’s a big deal.”

“Me? Why do I… … .”

“Aren’t the two goddesses who followed ‘Irregular’ founded by Hunter Cheon Hae-seon? If you look at the comments section of related articles, there is no chaos. “I’m complaining that I have to have everything to feel relieved.”

“What do you mean? “We are just colleagues working with the same goal.”

“Hahaha. Hunter. Of course, Hunter may think so, but not everyone sees it that simple.”

Yuk Cheol-wan kept bursting into laughter wondering what was so funny, and I stood still with a sullen face.

hmm.

That’s what people thought.

In fact, in my eyes, Bisu and Maria’s appearance was at an excellent level.

Not to mention Maria, I heard that a fan club praising Bisu was recently created.

Of course, I have no intention of doing that at all.

I’m too busy looking into the current issues facing me, but youth stories don’t suit me.

Besides, there is someone more beautiful to me than Maria.

My sister.

I’ve spent my whole life looking at that pretty face, so how can I get away with it just because I saw Maria and Bisu?

I put aside Yuk Cheol-wan’s words and organized my thoughts.

“hmm… … . Then, the distribution of bee stings is like this. Cheolwan and Jeonghyeon each get 30%. Bisu and Maria 15%. “I’m 10%.”

All members’ eyes widen at those words.

“Eh. “You’re taking less than me and your sister?”

“Hunter. That’s so unfair. You had the hardest time… … .”

Not only Bisu, but even Kang Jeong-hyeon, who speaks little, tries to dissuade me.

They seem like people who are kind and rude at the same time.

Even if you take more of your own things, it won’t be enough.

“It was a harder dungeon than I thought. There were many very dangerous moments. Regardless of the result, I think there were some shortcomings as the leader of The Irregular. Please accept today’s distribution as an apology.”

“Oh oh… … .”

The light of faith can be seen on Yuk Cheol-wan’s face.

Needless to say, Kang Jeong-hyun was someone I had admired from the beginning.

In particular, even though he had taken the scales of ‘Squama’, when he was told to take more, the beast’s eyes turned into hearts.

“also. “Following you was the best choice!”

Quickly avoid Bisu’s arms that try to hug him.

My ‘dog-reader’ is not soft enough to accept such a pretentious greeting.

“Where did you go? Our leader?!”

“You always treat me like a leader.”

Behind the dagger looking around, I pulled out a handful of bee stings.

Although I acted like a fairly altruistic leader, I was actually the biggest beneficiary of this dungeon.

Black core extracted from the body of the 8-star boss mob ‘Squama’.

After absorbing him, V1 gave him an unexpected gift.

<Black ether rose 1,056BA.>

<Squama’s unique skill is fused with the user’s black ether.>

<New skill creation: Poisonous smoke>

“I don’t really have any thoughts.”

“I thought you would say that.”

Supervisor Pyo Hyeok-gyu smiles bitterly at my harsh answer.

Before I founded ‘Irregular’, there was no reason to prove my strength by competing against other hunters.

Well, I do have a desire to meet Goo Geon again and follow him properly.

It’s ridiculous to participate in ranking matches just for that alone.

I’m not that free.

“You said you knew, but why did you come all the way here?”

Pyo Hyuk-gyu was waiting for me in front of the house.

I’m sure you all knew that I wasn’t interested in ranked games, but the fact that you’ve come this far means that there’s definitely something different about it.

“It seems like the new Vice President Bae Jeong-dae is planning a murder on the road.”

“Driveway murder?”

“yes. “It seems like he is trying to weaken the power of the Glory Guild by using the sword of Hunter Haeseon Cheon.”

“hmm.”

Are you using the bad relationship between me and Glory to increase the stakes?

It’s a smart idea.

But I am young enough to be biased by such personal ill-feelings… … Although I am young, I am not stupid.

“After hearing that, I don’t want to go out any more.”

“you’re right. “People tend to rebel when someone tells them to do something they originally wanted to do.”

“Where is it?”

“yes?”

“This is the guild that the assignment team is pushing behind.”

For the first time, a look of agitation appears on Pyo Hyeok-gyu’s face.

The eyes waver for a moment, and then a voice that is close to a sigh comes out.

“I didn’t know you could see that far. “I always think about this every time I see you, Hunter, but it seems like you’re hiding your age somewhere.”

“If you think about it a little, you will find the answer. If I were vice president, I would first try to be friendly with the existing forces and not try to force them out of the way. “Because that’s a risky move here too.”

The reason why we take risks and keep the existing strong in check.

The conclusion is that it is to grow other guilds.

“You are correct. “I personally investigated and found that Vice President Bae Jeong-dae’s family and a certain guild are related by blood.”

In short, I wield the sword, and while the Glory Guild falters, I raise other guilds.

That was another trick that Bae Jeong-dae was hiding.

“Hunter said he wouldn’t respond, but he didn’t give in, perhaps because he had a plan.”

So, it is said that Pyo Hyeok-gyu made a suggestion to Bae Jeong-dae.

We need a carrot to attract Cheon Hae-seon to the rankings.

“carrot?”

“There is a World Hunter Forum that is held once a year. “It is a place where Glory Guild leaders have been attending for the past few years.”

“ah. I’ve heard it too. I thought the largest guild in each country was the representative… … .”

“Why not just change the standards?”

“Ohh?”

This could be considered a fairly sweet carrot.

Right now, he may be a successful hunter in Korea, but if he turns his attention overseas, there will be a lot of strong players who are on a different level from domestically.

Just watching their strength from the side is very helpful.

Additionally, if you go to the forum, you may be able to get information about unusual phenomena that have increased recently.

Maybe even information related to Cyril.

“However, in order to participate in the forum, you have to be ranked first.”

“haha. “Are you even provoking me, the supervisor?”

“Hunter Haeseon Cheon is going to the forum. “That is our wish too.”

I don’t think ‘we’ are the Hunter Association.

Seeing that they were trying to send me there, I thought that maybe the group that Pyo Hyuk-gyu belongs to is not limited to Korea.

Anyway, as the man in front of me said, it’s meaningless if you don’t rank first.

indeed.

Have I grown to become the leader of the Republic of Korea?

I nodded towards Pyo Hyuk-gyu.

“Let’s try something.”
