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

60 – Emergency

A strange creature with bluish scales and the face of a fish caught my eye.

The guy who looked like a monster to anyone could see, and when the light came on, he erased his leisurely swimming image and turned his head towards us.

Kieek!

Then he leapt out of the water and stabbed the trident in his hand at us with a grotesque scream.

“Please stay still, both of you.”

We stopped moving as we tried to respond to Kang So-young’s instructions.

It was her sudden attack, but as we already know, Kang So-young, who blocked us before we knew it, lightly struck her with the tip of her spear with her own dagger, ‘Yeoubi’.

A monstrous creature that slightly stepped back as its body bounced off. However, regardless of this, he stabbed Kang So-young again.

Kang So-young let her attack lightly, then she targeted his foot and landed her sleep kick.

It was a clever attack to attack the body structure of short arms and legs compared to the size of the huge face.

The monster that lost its center of gravity did not fall down, but lost its center of gravity as it leaned.

Kang So-young digs in without missing the moment and inserts the sword precisely near the gill.

Keew!

She screams in pain and wiggles her short arms. But, as if she had no intention of letting go, Kang So-young stabbed her even deeper as she held her dagger with both of her hands.

After a while, the big eyes lost their vitality, and the grotesque body collapsed.

Then the corpse turned gray and then disappeared like dust.

“Wonwoo, no matter how you look at it, that must be Merman, right?”

In the moment of silence, Sujeongi broke the silence and asked me.

“Yeah, it’s the first time I actually met him. I think it fits according to the picture.”

“That means….”

It’s hard for Sujeong and I to accept, but it’s a reality we have to admit.

A gate has been created somewhere near here.

It must be said that something similar to the sudden gate that connected Sujeongi and me was made here.

“What shall we do, young lady?”

“Um.”

At Soyoung Kang’s question, Sujeongi fell into trouble.

There is not enough information such as the location of the gate, the number and grade of the monsters, and the current status of the boss monster in a sudden dark battle.

She had no choice but to be cautious, so when it seemed like her worries were getting longer, she said to Sujeong.

“Let me find the gate location. Because that comes first.”

“I don’t know what the situation is, but it’s dangerous, Wonwoo!”

Sujeong is drying in a hurry. Her ruby-like eyes, full of worry, clearly expressed her intention to refuse.

“Sujeong already knows, right? According to the basic principles of Hunter, this is correct.”

It is right that I go. Sujeongi already knows the correct answer in her head, but it was obvious that she just couldn’t bear to say it.

Even if there are two S class, she can’t just bump into her. Because there is no information about the opponent.

Someone had to move to get the information. If that’s the case, it’s right for me to go because I’m the weakest in terms of power.

And the current team leader is Sujeong, the guild leader. She has to contact the guild nearby to ask for help and explain the situation when she arrives.

“And if we keep fighting in a dark place like this, we will be at a disadvantage. Mermen are not affected by darkness. Secretary Kang, who knows the condition of the auxiliary generator and the location of the generator, needs to work on this part.”

“Okay.”

Kang So-yeong also quickly agreed as if she had no complaints. Sujeongi sighed slightly at the sight and asked.

“Wonwoo-nim is also good at explaining things, so wouldn’t it be better for me to go?”

“No. In an emergency situation, how to send the team leader and guild leader to a dangerous place? No matter how strong you are, you can’t do that.”

“The guttural sound….”

I can’t really refute it because it’s true, but Sujeongie is full of dissatisfaction. She put her hand on Sujeongi’s head and looked into his eyes.

“And in the world who puts the woman he loves in danger. I know she’s stronger than me, but I can’t.”

“Chi…. It is against the law to say such words at this time.”

Sujeong-i turns her eyes away while blushing. Even so, her expression seemed to have softened a little.

“Looks like it’s been decided. I’ll go inside the house for a moment and bring a portable flashlight. Let’s save the battery of each cell phone to keep in touch.”

Kang So-yeong left her words and went inside her house with her cell phone to light up her darkness.

Sujeongi, who confirmed that, suddenly came into her arms and said,

“Wonwoo, I promise to never overdo it. Got it? I also listened to Wonwoo, so please protect me. Do you run away unconditionally in case of danger?”

A smile naturally forms on his lips at the words full of worries in his voice.

It was really lovely. And she was grateful.

Who will care and care about me this far? It reminds me of the time when I was betrayed and held on to my broken heart alone and endured with evil.

“Yes, I promise. I’m still a lot stronger than before.”

“Chi, but you are still weaker than me, so I will protect you. Wonwoo still overworks himself when a crisis hits, so I need to be by his side.”

She looks uneasy, as if the memory of the first time they met came to mind at the unexpected gate after a long time.

I patted Sujeong on the back and soothed her.

“It’s okay. It’s different from back then.”

“Yes, I know. I am not helpless when I was in high school.”

Sujeong-i quickly falls from me and smiles lightly.

And after a while, Kang So-young, who went to get the emergency light, appeared.

“Here we are, Wonwoo. And give me your cell phone.”

Kang So-yeong hands me a small flashlight and asks for my cell phone. And she typed something and said.

“I saved it. I set it as a recent call, so if you run into any problems or discover anything, you should contact me in some way.”

“Yes, I will.”

After hearing my answer, Sujeong looked at us and said.

“Both be careful. Because they are the most precious people to me. If anything happens, I will come running, so be sure to contact me.”

At that, she nodded and left the house with Sujeongi’s worried gaze behind her back.

As we walked together, we came across two forked roads, each heading towards the beach and the forest.

“The generator is near the shore, so I’ll head over here to double search.”

“Okay, I’ll see you at the dorm in a little while.”

“The forest is not very big, but be careful just in case. Then.”

Kang So-young moves first after giving a small warning. I, too, did not hesitate and walked straight toward the forest.

After a short walk, we entered the forest, which was immediately visible, and it became even darker with less light passing through.

In addition, the combination of the sea breeze and the forest created a spooky atmosphere, feeling the chill of early winter even though it was summer.

“Usually in horror movies, when you’re walking around alone like this, killers and monsters always pop up.”

When I was young, I remembered what I had seen while trembling, so I walked without losing my guard at the thought that I might not know.

Kooung. Cooong.

And as if my words were a signal, I heard a very small sound of something stepping on the ground. I heard it not too far away, so I looked to the left and right and was alert.

Since I came here comfortably on vacation, I don’t have any combat gear.

Aside from the fact that he doesn’t have any equipment on his body, so it’s easier to move around because he doesn’t have a sense of weight, his attack and defense abilities are inevitably lower than usual.

It is best to avoid skirmishes as much as possible.

Kung. Thud.

However, as if they had caught me from the other side, I sensitively brought my senses to the sound that was louder than before.

But I still can’t feel any magical power.

This means that it could be a monster with no magical power or a dangerous monster with excellent magic control ability to hide, but the former seems to be more likely.

If it was a monster like that, it wouldn’t be aiming for a surprise attack in the first place, or it wouldn’t move so easily that even footsteps would be heard.

And as if to prove that expectation, he revealed a magnificent figure by breaking down a bush rather than a road where people walked.

Since Merman appeared, I wondered if water-type monsters would appear again, but completely different monsters appeared in front of me.

Kreurreuk.

The one staring at me with pricked ears and red eyes was a monster in the shape of a rabbit.

However, the rabbit walks on two legs, and its height, which appears to be about 2 meters, and its abdominal muscles, which are clearly visible as if it has exercised a lot, and its entire body are filled with convex muscles, exude a sense of intimidation.

“Here comes the muscle rabbit.”

One of the familiar monsters I often saw in Class A dungeons, Muscle Rabbit is not a boss monster, but I remember having a hard time dealing with it because of its ignorantly strong physical abilities.

The most tricky thing is that they are monsters that live in groups, so it was a problem for them to crowd around, but fortunately, they don’t show any signs of that.

“I have to deal with it first.”

You should be able to avoid it right away, but in the end you have to find and get rid of it.

If you leave this place and move to another area, it will be more troublesome.

And, as if the muscle rabbit had no intention of letting go, it came forward to me and stretched out its front paws, which were relatively short compared to the hind legs it was standing on.

Shook. Shook.

The forepaws stamped down from above, making a heavy wind noise. However, it was an attack that I was so familiar with, so I lowered it to avoid it and dig in.

Then, as if from a low stance, I landed an uppercut toward his chin.

Puck.

I can clearly feel the sense that I am still lacking in the clumsy clumps of hair compared to the sound.

I was prepared for the thought that an attack could come from a fist that did not reach exactly where I wanted, whether I twisted my body slightly.

As expected, he showed an instinct to strike back even though he was shocked, and he raised his claws and swung his front paws again.

I also ducked and dodged, but the faster-than-expected attack lightly brushed my shoulder and left a scratch.

And then, as if not to miss it, lift the opposite leg and stretch it out again as if you were taking it down.

This time, after getting out of the spot by rolling down, I moved away. However, as if not to miss it, the muscle rabbit strides forward and rushes forward.

And this time, he lifted his back foot and attacked me with a motion like kicking a soccer ball.

‘It’s still the same.’

A muscle rabbit never runs away during a battle. When he unconditionally starts fighting in melee combat, he pounces with a life-or-death decision.

So if you lay down to catch a weak point using that simplicity, the fight is already over.

As soon as he lifted his back leg, [Psychokinesis] Was activated from his hand.

As he rocked his center of gravity from side to side, he quickly leaned to one side and fell to the ground without being able to support his huge body.

Kung.

Muslaby falls to the ground making a loud noise to match its huge body. While he was still in shock, he hurried over and grabbed the guy’s untrained ear.

Kleur!

At the moment, it sounds too loud to be called a rabbit, but his body trembles and he doesn’t resist.

“It’s so cute that it doesn’t fit its size. If you hold on to your ears, you won’t be able to resist.”

The red eyes that used to be militant are sending me a look of helplessness like a gentle sheep.

A look in your eyes asking for mercy. The bravery of earlier is nowhere to be found.

However, I have no intention of doing so because I have actually seen a hunter whose arm was ripped off after being kind to this cunning monster.

Just to be able to go comfortably, he showed his last mercy by punching with all his magic toward the heart.
