The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

24 – Our uneasy union

Weary of many battles, we settled down with our backs to the high cliffs we saw along the way.

“I am resting comfortably. I will be on the lookout.”

I stood up because I felt it was right for me to step forward, having consumed relatively little stamina.

“No, Wonwoo-nim is tired too. Wait a minute.”

As I tried to stand up, Sujeong stopped me and stretched out my hand.

After that, as I spread my palms and concentrated my mana, a small golden fox appeared.

The fox escaped Sujeongi’s palm and ran somewhere.

“It’s [Vigilance], A skill I learned from Secretary Kang. But too far away is difficult, and if something happens in the immediate vicinity, he will let me know right away.”

“Do you have that kind of skill? Later, I want to learn too.”

With this kind of skill, you can rest more safely when taking a break, so the efficiency is inevitably high, so it was a coveted skill.

“It’s simpler than I thought, so I’ll tell you later after the dungeon here.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Heh, no. If it’s Wonwoo, of course you should let me know.”

The two of them were talking like that, but Han Yu-ra, who was watching quietly, looked at us and threw a word.

“Are you filming a drama? It’s disgusting to see the two of them doing it after coming to the dungeon.”

At those words, Sujeongi became furious and stopped her as she turned around and grabbed the one who was trying to run away.

“Wonwoo!”

“You decided to put up with it. According to the information of the advance party, if you see this cliff here, it says that the abandoned house is nearby, so it will be soon.”

“… After, I get it. But after I leave this dungeon, I really don’t know what will happen to me.”

“You’re a kid with a lot of guts. Do you still say that after seeing how I killed all the zombies and skeletons? Not all S-classes are the same S-class.”

At those words, Sujeongie gave a cold smile and said,

“You know, not all S-classes are the same S-class.”

“What are those eyes and tone of voice?”

As if Han Yu-ra was offended by her, she raised her body from which she was leaning. When Sujeongi tried to respond as well, she stood in the middle and stopped.

“Let’s get out of here and fight. I won’t dry it then. We’re at work right now, so let’s be professional?”

“Sheesh, yes. Since it’s inside the dungeon, I, as an adult, endure it.”

“Yes. Did an adult put up with it for a while?”

After talking to each other, Han Yu-ra leaned her body against the cliff again, and Su-jeong sat down next to me again.

I expected it, but when I woke up right in front of my eyes, I felt really tired in a different way.

She let out a sigh, then took water and beef jerky from her waist bag. And she recommended Sujeong.

“I probably won’t have time to rest now, so let’s eat and replenish her stamina in advance.”

Sujeong nodded her head in agreement.

“Okay. I still felt a little hungry.”

Sujeongi also grabbed her jerky and ate it to replenish her moisture. I also tasted the salty taste and chewed the jerky.

Han Yu-ra looks at her carefully. Looking at it, she seemed to want to eat it herself.

“Did you not bring something?”

Han Yu-ra answered her question as if nothing was wrong.

“Uh, I’m on the expensive side, so I can’t eat that kind of stuff anymore. I am not very hungry.”

I almost laughed out loud at that comment.

‘A b*tch with a big mouth.’

I had to have it prepared every time I went to a dungeon to the point where I couldn’t eat it because I didn’t have it when I was with you.

I have to do it to someone who will be bluffing, but I’m doing it to someone I know. What is the ego of that murderer?

After shaking his head slightly, he got up and approached Han Yu-ra.

“Okay, it’s okay. Take this and water.”

He threw a few pieces of beef jerky and a leftover water bottle. Han Yu-ra answered and asked with her eyes what it was.

“I’m afraid you won’t be a nuisance by talking nonsense about not having enough energy because I’m hungry, so eat and drink without any burden.”

“… Okay? What do you eat?”

Han Yu-ra, who used to say she eats reluctantly, takes in beef jerky and water as if she’s been waiting.

Jerky aside, his throat must have been quite dry from the long battle.

“Wonwoo is also true. It’s a problem because people are so nice. You don’t have to give it to that bastard… “

Sujeong muttered softly next to her so Han Yu-ra couldn’t hear her, and she responded with a smile.

There was no other meaning. I just want to succeed in conquering the dungeon I just started, excluding my personal feelings.

“I finally found it.”

Looking at the old-looking house in front of her eyes, she was relieved to think that she had found it fortunately.

After taking a break earlier, I tried to avoid unnecessary battles by hiding as much as possible to prevent attrition from further battles.

However, she was forced to fight several battles because the terrain was almost entirely a graveyard.

“By the way, I thought it would be small because it was an abandoned house, but it is a very large house.”

“Sure.”

As Sujeongi said, it was an abandoned house, so at first I thought it would be at the level of a small cabin.

Looking at it now, it was a size that could be called a mansion.

“Stop messing around and let’s go in.”

Guided by Han Yoo-ra’s urging words next to her, we carefully and slowly opened the mansion entrance door and entered.

“The inside is cleaner than I thought.”

Compared to the old exterior, the neatly organized interior had an antique-looking purple carpet and was lit by candles everywhere.

And there were portraits of people hanging on the walls.

Most of the paintings were of people with white hair, all-back hair, pale skin, and red eyes.

“Are you the landlord here?”

“No, Wonwoo. Couldn’t someone who loves this person have done this?”

Sujeongi, who was listening by the side, raised a counterargument and said.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. If you like it and love it, you will want to see it all on the wall like this.”

Sujeong’s way of speaking as if she understands everything.

“Isn’t Sujeong-i’s house full of pictures of me, too?”

As a joking group, I threw it like this, and Soo-jeong didn’t react at all.

I felt something strange and called Sujeong again.

“Hey, Sujeong-ah?”

“… Oh, I haven’t heard in a while. What did you say?”

I must have been thinking about something else for a while.

“Nothing. Let’s find it scattered rather than that. There is also a second floor here and it is spacious. If something happens, run away unconditionally and let us know. Got it?”

“Yes. Then I will look around the second floor.”

Sujeong-i said that and went up the stairs.

“Han Yura, where did this go?”

I decided to look around the first floor to find Han Yu-ra, who had disappeared in the meantime.

I saw several rooms, but they were all empty. There are only portraits hanging on the wall, just like the ones outside.

When I returned to the entrance again, I saw Sujeong coming down the stairs to the second floor.

“Ah, Wonwoo-nim, I searched all over the second floor. Is the room empty and empty?”

“The first floor was the same. What. Boss monsters and dungeon cores are nowhere to be seen.”

According to the information handed over by the advance team, there were many speculations that the boss monster was also an undead monster.

So I prepared holy water even if it was very expensive, but even normal monsters, let alone boss monsters, don’t appear.

At that time, the wall that had been blocked under the stairs suddenly opened, and Han Yu-ra, who had disappeared, appeared.

“What? You? Where are you coming from?”

When asked in surprise, she pointed to where she was and said.

“Shh, be quiet and follow me.”

Han Yu-ra quiets her by putting a finger over her mouth.

At first, the two of us moved along with Han Yu-ra at the cautious behavior we saw for the first time since coming here.

A long staircase leading underground opened before my eyes, and fortunately the way down was lit with torches, so it didn’t look dangerous.

Jerbug. That buck

A faint ringing sound every time you take one step down.

On the way down, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked Han Yu-ra.

“What’s down there?”

“I don’t know what it is, so go check it out yourself. And walk gently so that it doesn’t ring.”

At Han Yu-ra’s point, I walked as carefully as possible to go down without making a sound.

As she descended some of the winding stairs, a strange scent mixed with the incense of burning candles and the fishy smell of blood filled her nose.

Sujeongi also frowned as if she had smelled it and looked at me. She walked more cautiously as she thought there was something.

We finally reached the end of the stairs. Han Yu-ra put her hand to her lips once again and pointed with her finger through the open door.

A bizarre figure was unfolding at the place where I peeked out her face with Sujeongi.

The background looks like a temple with stained glass decorated with geometric patterns on the wall.

On the floor of the space, which seemed wide enough to be called a basement, a large red inverted pentagram, which appeared to be painted with blood, caught my eye with candlesticks placed at each vertex.

And then, looking at the red coffin in the middle of the reverse pentagram, I see someone standing covered in a green robe.

“Wonwoo, what the hell is this?”

Sujeong asked in a small voice as if whispering.

“Okay. I don’t know either….”

I guess it was a ritual to summon something, but I’ve never heard of a monster doing such a thing.

The hero’s guild’s Kang Hyeon-seok’s size was hidden by the robe, so it was difficult to see inside, but it was confirmed that it was a magic type when looking at the wooden staff that was revealed at first glance.

I can’t judge when I see it for the first time. I also understood why Han Yu-ra acted so cautiously.

Even if you look like that, Han Yu-ra also has been in the Hunter world for a long time, so she must have felt strange.

I went through many A-level dungeons, but there were no monsters that behaved like that. Monsters’ instinct was to simply destroy and kill.

While we were watching her movements, even Hanyura, who was behind her, moved to sneak closer to us.

Tak. Ting. Ting. Ting.

As I turned my attention to the sudden sound, Han Yu-ra moved and kicked a small stone, which moved and hit the wall, bouncing down the underground stairs.

As if in response to the sound, the being in the green robe suddenly turned and looked at us.

In the meantime, the robe was revealed as it moved, revealing only the bony, white bones with no flesh left.

And then they moved their jawbones and shouted at us in an unknown, deafening language.

Hunter The moment I saw the face I had seen in a history book and figured out the identity of the other person, I gave instructions to the two.

“Don’t stick together, move forward!”

These words serve as a signal, and the two of them walk out the door, aim their weapons at the other person, and spread out their seats.

“It’s Richie. For now, pay attention to magic and act defensively.”

At those words, Sujeongi opened her eyes wide and said.

“Rich? This…. It must be quite painful.”

Sujeong is also an old monster, but she said with a frown as if she knew.

It is a boss monster belonging to the highest level in the Undead category.

I remember reading in a book that even though I am undead, it is tricky because I have the ability to summon other undead monsters and use various magic.

It used to come out often in the past, but recently it’s been said that I can’t see it, but I didn’t know that it would appear again in this dungeon where I am.

Among the A-class boss monsters, there were many people who rated it as a higher level, but I felt that the magic that I felt while facing it was definitely not formidable.

“Ah, you have to defeat Richie or something first!”

Han Yu-ra rushed first as if she was frustrated with the confrontation that could be prolonged.

At that moment, a small blue spark rose in Richie’s empty eyes, and the cane in her bony hand aimed at Han Yu-ra.

A very dark black light that spreads rapidly from the staff.

“It’s damage, curse magic!”

As if responding to her cry, Hanyura sees the black light suddenly approaching and jumps her body into the air to avoid it.

However, as if waiting, the light changes direction and breaks as it approaches Han Yu-ra.

Han Yu-ra wields her sword to hit her light, but even that is a black light that dodges and approaches like a living creature.

“You idiot.”

From noble mtl dot com

She runs to help, but she is so far away that even [Psychokinesis] Can’t reach her, so there is no proper way to help.

At that time, Han Yu-ra’s expression, which caught her eyes, showed a clear expression of bewilderment, and sent her eyes to me, hoping for her help.
