98 – After the Battle of the Canyon

“Sorry… I’m so depressed all alone…”

When Yeon-hee, who had been lowering her head toward the ground like a dead puppy for a while, finally spoke her words, Helen Combi responded with great delight, regardless of what she said.

“No no no, it can be. I’ve been through some really crazy sh*t.”

“Yes, Yeon-hee, let’s eat some and talk. Come on- This is ribeye, try it.”

Helen and Jinkyung always felt sorry for Yeonhee, who was much younger than them.

Even though the legal age for hunter activities is 19, it usually starts at 20 after graduating from high school… When I heard that I started early to pay for my mother’s hospital bills, it was hard to hold back tears.

So when a shadow was cast on Yeonhee’s face, I felt like I wanted to take care of her even more.

‘I’m hungry… I’m still hungry on time even after losing Ilwoli…’

No matter how bad things went, less than three hours had passed since the battle in the canyon. The time when the shoes stick to the skin of the stomach and cause the pain of tearing the flesh.

A normal hunter would have easily finished 5 or more servings of meat.

‘Let’s eat. What can i do That I’m weak.’

In the end, Yeon-hee also raised her chopsticks and wandered on the table for a while, then picked up a piece of flower sirloin that Jin-kyung had placed on the plate in front of her.

Well-

Yeon-hee shuddered for a moment at the sensation of the gravy gently seeping into her mouth, and as she moved her chopsticks back to the rolled egg, she remembered the nightmarish battle in the canyon.

Trudging-

After the battle in the gorge was over, everyone including Yeon-hee took a sufficient rest, and then started collecting the spoils from the corpses of 250 orc warriors.

Obviously, there should have been more dead than living. Otherwise, they overcame a strange difference in power, so their actions of taking the spoils were dignified.

“Haa- that’s really dirty.”

In the middle of collecting loot, sighs come out from here and there at the words someone uttered. There were too many, too many.

It was difficult for Yeonhee to get help because she had summoned beasts standing in front of her in case of an unexpected attack.

Even when Yeon-hee cut off the orc’s ears, a huge sigh flowed out from deep inside and weakly leaked out.

“It’s okay… It’s okay…”

96 Lives.

The number of respawns left in January.

Even though she had a lot more life left than herself, she was nervous. However, as she tried to comfort herself by saying that she was fine, she felt that she wanted to get out of her pitiful place.

Fighting monsters in dungeons is a great pleasure in her life, but not today.

“About an hour has passed and it seems that magic has recovered a bit. Shall we go soon? We have almost all the loot, right?”

“Jiwoo, wait- 3 more minutes.”

Actually, the magic stone that Lee Yeon-hee or Noh Ha-yoon obtained as an Orc warrior or the subjugation reward for cutting off their ears were not important right now. Both were in different thoughts.

They were just waiting for the remaining 600 orc warriors to move towards the entrance.

It was only for a moment that I thought I could overcome it even if I met the Orcs again.

If you think about it calmly, even 30 orc warriors who have not been poisoned and paralyzed will be defeated.

“I can’t put everything in because I don’t have Ilwoli…”

The heaps of orc warrior corpses that were not taken were felt too wasteful. If you leave it as it is, the management office or other hunters will probably take care of it and benefit from it.

“Ilwol needs to make a bomb…”

If Ilwoli had been there, he would have casually put everything in his inventory and gave the start signal with his teeth clashing.

<10:41:09>

Yeon-hee puffed out her cheeks while glaring at the resummoning time.

“Let’s go slowly. Even the sun is tilted quite a bit.”

Lee Ji-woo wiped the sweat from his brow to announce the departure, and only then did the people start moving towards the starting point of the gorge.

Bruise-

Lee Yeon-hee lightly touched the shoulder of Noh Ha-yoon, who lost her soul after seeing the broken Il-wol, and pointed in front of her.

“Ah, uh… I see.”

As if Noh Ha-yoon hadn’t packed his loot properly, his brown pockets were slim.

‘Why are you so shocked? It’s like a star, really.’

It was absurd from Yeon-hee’s point of view, but I was originally a strange person, so I moved on.

“Lizard Troops.”

As Lee Yeon-hee murmured softly, the lizard troops who were watching at the beginning of the canyon rushed in front of Yeon-hee and lined up.

“Wow… That’s really cool.”

He looked at the Lizard troops with a face that reminded him of the truth as if he were a minister.

“Leave up to No. 3 Here, and spread out to the point where the rest connect with me and scout.”

Chuwalarak!!

At Yeon-hee’s command, No. 1 Bowed its head deeply, and soon, in line with No. 1’S signal, seventeen Lizardmen scattered all at once.

The back of the lizardman quickly disappearing into the bush reminded me of a velociraptor from a dinosaur movie.

The Lizard troops were getting stronger day by day, and signs of evolution were evident. However, Yeon-hee felt infinitely lacking.

Kulleong-

Catch the shimmering mass of magical power in your hand, implement various complex shapes, and then release them repeatedly.

It has been well over 15 days since I did this training. The message that came to mind three days after the successful implementation of the shape with pure magical power was still the same.

– A desperate desire to protect a summoned beast meets an outstanding talent, foretelling the emergence of new skills.

– Depending on the training time, the skill expression time can be increased.

‘A new skill… When the hell will it come out?’

She shook her head slightly and began to give instructions to her summons.

No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, Fatty, and Deottooth had each party member stand guard by attaching one to another. No Hayun said he didn’t need it, so he just left it alone.

“Thank you.”

Juah Bae looked at the lumbering Lizard 3 standing next to her and shrugged her shoulders.

That’s how the party started moving towards the entrance, and in the middle, they also defeated the monsters they encountered with the scouts.

However, I had never met Orcs or Hunters, which meant that there was a high probability that they would be concentrated near the entrance.

“I wish I had just left.”

While walking down the street, Jinkyung inadvertently told me his true intentions.

If that number of Orc warriors had caused a dungeon break, the second stage of disaster warning would have been triggered in the outside world.

Then, like the last time, B-class or higher hunters would have flocked to collect them, and they would have nothing to do today.

The reason hunters with bizarre abilities that can be called a species different from humans can mix with ordinary people in society is because they are beings who fight against disasters such as dungeon break.

Jinkyung’s remark was to throw away such a sense of duty, but there was no one in the party who would grab the horse’s tail and press it.

Actually, we all felt the same way. Because it was so hard

Did such a true wind reach the sky?

“This, this…”

When we almost reached the entrance, the traces of the battle remained strong, but only a few bodies of Orc warriors were scattered here and there. There was no encounter with any living beings.

The sight seen from a distance seemed to have ended with the victory of the Hunters. However, if you look closely, you can see that the hunters’ body parts are scattered all over the place.

What happened?

“Uweek-“

“Oops-“

The closer I got to the entrance, the more my feet hit my eyes, my feet, and my intestines.

Ha-yoon Noh and Joo-ah Bae, who have bad stomachs, retching constantly.

“Judging by the reverberation of mana… I think it’s been at least an hour. We must have been fighting here by the time we left the gorge.”

“I didn’t win at all. I lost a lot.”

“It’s not just broken. It looks like it went outside after playing with the hunters until all the troops gathered.”

Haa……

A sigh filled with worry naturally flows out.

“Have you heard anything from the scouts while waiting for the captain? They’re not going to move without a commander.”

“I will…”

“Hmm… Anyway, I’m out now, but if there are Orc warriors camped out in front of the gate, it’s kind of difficult.”

“That’s probably not the case. Seeing that the hunters only have parts of their bodies and no corpses, it looks like they’ve been sorted out somehow…”

“I think so. There’s no way the public officials handled their work this quickly. They must have been quite active. Since the suppression was held outside, they must have come all the way here to collect the bodies. And that took only an hour. .”

“The ability is good. If it’s a guild around here, it’s obvious. Ilseom, Celestial God, Magos?”

“There’s also an Apex.”

“Ha… Don’t even mention those bastards of Apex. Negative blows.”

I want to get out of here quickly, but I’m reluctant to go out right away.

“Let’s get out. It won’t be too bad.”

“Then, everyone stick behind the Lizardman.”

“Huh… I’m scared.”

In any case, there seemed to be no danger factor under the circumstances, but nonetheless, the party crossed the gate and headed out with great tension.

*

In front of the gate.

As soon as Lee Yeon-hee and the others came out, they had no choice but to stop breathing by covering their mouths with their hands.

The sight in my vision was hundreds of corpses covered in white cloth.

Other hunters and officials from the management office are working tirelessly. And I could feel the gaze of a man who radiated a strong energy that pushed away even such a dreary landscape.

“Hyun Yi-hwan…”

Noh Ha-yoon, who came back to his senses at that momentum, chewed his lips carefully as he looked at the man named Hyeon Yi-hwan.

“Huh- that’s him?”

“They say he’s good looking, but he’s also really handsome…”

He was Hyun Yi-hwan, the second son of Hyeon Joong-gil, the head of the Ilseom Guild, and a B-class hunter.

“If it’s enough to serve as an apprentice in the Ilseom Guild…”

“It seems like something big happened, too.”

“I guess this isn’t all there is to death…”

“Are Sangcheol and Hyungjik okay?”

“……”

“Uhh… They’re coming this way. What should I do?”

The bigger thing was that Hyun Yi-hwan was walking straight toward them. Would it feel like this if a living statue walked by?

Although he was a little over 170, he looked much taller because of his good proportions, and his light brown hair and thick features that contrasted with him had a charm that made anyone look back once more.

“Hello. My name is Yihwan Hyeon.”

“Oh, hello.”

“Hunters, can you give me a minute?”

Go oh oh-

Polite tone and attitude. Even so, the momentum was so great that I felt the pressure as if something big would happen if I didn’t take the time.

The moment he draws out his beloved sword, the heads of the people sitting here will never be able to connect with the torso again.

Eventually, they moved to their seats and Hyun Yi-hwan and the six hunters started a conversation.
