Chapter 224 - Return (1)
As always.
Time passed quickly.
Seo-joon continued to take courses with Dan from Satan, and
the twisted being did not appear after that.
A twisted entity that escaped via teleportation.
Seojun kept looking for news, wondering if he would be active in another country.
No trace of what appears to be a distorted entity has been found anywhere in the world.
And the Distortion phenomenon of the dungeon was still continuing.
Hwata said that Beserk's heart was split into three fragments.
One of them belonged to the twisted one.
Perhaps as long as the fragments of the heart remain, the phenomenon of distortion will not go away.
Is it just because Seojun absorbed one of Beserk's hearts?
The frequency of the Distortion was significantly reduced.
There was no need to worry about apocalyptic monsters like Eldritch.
So everything worked out just fine.
There was no reason for Seo-jun to remain in the United States any longer, and
his return to Korea was carried out quickly and quietly.
Because of that, the news that the Dream Team was returning to Korea was not known to people.
Korea came back like that.
It was only then that Seo-joon realized that he had returned to Korea at the Dream Team building in the distance.
From the days of Dream Academy to the guild of Dream Team.
“and! How old is this house!”
“It is home! I am finally home!”
It was so warm now that it felt like home.
And Seo-joon could see people waiting to meet him in front of the Dream Team building.
Spirit Star, who was staying at the Dream Team's building.
And Lee Tae-beom, the head of the Korea Professional Hunter Association of Maseong and Uiseong.
Lastly, it was Soo-yeon's father, Man-cheol.
Although the news of their return came quietly without being known,
it was because they informed them of the news.
“dad! Master!”
“Master!”
Suyeon and Hayun were the first to run out.
Seeing the two of them, Young-seong and Ma-seong Man-cheol greeted them with great pleasure.
I was in England and went straight to the US, so it was almost a meeting after a few months.
Seo-joon looked at the scene from a distance.
In particular, the appearance of Young Sung and Lee Ha-yoon.
Lee Ha-yoon's image from his academy days could no longer be found.
However, the cold atmosphere was the same, but
when I met Young-seong, the bright smile seemed to become a completely different person.
“Lee Ha-yoon is very different from when he met Young-seong.”
Then, Minyul tilted his head and replied.
“huh? Isn’t that the case again these days?”
“okay? I couldn't feel it at all.”
“Hmm… I guess I’m still afraid of the captain. The captain was very ambitious... and the captain has been showing his side lately.”
“That too is true. Seojun must have become such a monster.”
Seo-joon didn't have anything to say, so he moved on without a word.
So, let Seo-joon approach.
Everyone who shared the breakup looked at Seojun.
A cool smile hung on the faces of the heroes looking at Seo-jun.
Eldritch and twisted beings.
It was because he had clearly witnessed the fierce battle.
That's why
I knew very well what the world, not America, would have been like if Seo-jun hadn't been there.
Maseong gently held Seojun's hand with a kind smile.
“You've really... really done a great job.”
Starting with such a devilish voice, the others nodded and said.
“You really did a great job.”
“I really… thank you very much. Hunter Kim Seojun. ”
“Are there no disciples of mine in America…?”
But for some reason, the content of Uiseong was a little strange.
Still, only the eyes looking at Seo-jun contained a sense of admiration.
“I wonder when did this happen…”
And the last Mancheol’s words.
Mancheol was looking at Seojun with his characteristic disapproving expression.
However, Seo-jun knew very well that it was an expression of pride more than anyone else.
Perhaps because of that, a smile spread across Seo-joon's lips.
Then all of a sudden
“Oh, my dear.”
Seo-joon called Man-cheol with a sudden thought.
Then, he took something out of the kibisis and handed it to Mancheol.
“This is a gift.”
“This...?”
Mancheol accidentally handed it over.
“……?”
“……?”
And the expressions on the faces of the others who were looking at it began to be dumbfounded.
It seemed as if he was giving something as a gift.
It is also true that what Seo-joon handed over was a human skull.
“The lich skull.”
Because it was the lich's skull.
“Why did you promise? I'll let you play football with the lich skull.”
“... Such a sea pearl.”
Mancheol's irony finally ascended to heaven.
I never expected to receive a real lich skull as a gift!
Of course, I had made that kind of promise with Seojun.
But that was before Seo-jun had even attended the Hunter Academy.
A joke-like story while working on a monster carcass together.
Why aren't there absurd stories that everyone spits out like aspirations before starting something?
That, too, was in the same vein.
To be honest, it was just a phrase.
no damn
Isn't that a possible story in the first place!
But damn crazy
“Fat...”
Mancheol murmured blankly.
Then, a thought popped into my mind.
“But this isn’t an eldritch skull, is it?”
The skull of the Demon Lord Eldritch.
There were plenty of possibilities.
But fortunately, I didn't think that was the case.
“Well... I couldn't bring the eldritch because it was destroyed. It's a lich skull before it became an eldritch... well, they're the same guy.”
Are you lucky enough?
“Fat...”
Mancheol was really at a loss for words.
“Sea Pearl. Will you bring me the dragon carcass later?”
At that time, Seojun and Mancheol shared two stories.
Playing football with the lich skull.
And touch the dragon.
Of course I thought it would be impossible.
But what Mancheol was holding now was the skull of Richie.
Soon after, it seemed that the dragon would also bring it.
But sickness.
“Actually, I could have brought a dragon as well. Beserk appeared in England, but it also disappeared...”
“......”
“......”
“......”
Then, this time, spirituality, demonicity, onomatopoeia, absurdity ascended to heaven. abandoned
These are the heroes of cataclysm representing Korea.
It was because he knew very well what Beserk was like.
But now what...
“Ah! Uncle, would you just touch me? Now, in a way, I am also a dragon.”
“......” ”
......” ”
......”
“......”
This time, the teammates and Lee Tae-beom ascended to heaven.
Mancheol Heroes team members ascending to heaven one after another and Lee Tae-beom's irony.
People could realize that Seo-joon had returned.
#
After returning to Korea, Seo-jun and his party went back to their old routine.
To be precise, rather than daily routine, intense training was repeated.
what happened in America.
Eldritch and twisted beings.
Did they realize that they were not very helpful to those two beings?
The enthusiasm of the team members for training grew stronger day by day.
The team members voluntarily volunteered for the dungeon raid even without Seo-joon arriving.
And Seo-jun, who has priority for dungeon raids for 5 years. Seo-joon also
went on a dungeon raid with his teammates
to serve as training for Balgyeong .
Then, the raided corpse was turned into an outer sheath and sold to team members.
In addition to the tremendous craze for training, taking outside groups.
Because of that, the level of team members has grown incomparably.
At first glance, I heard that spirituality and devilishness are likely to surpass them sooner or later.
anyway.
Seojun also did not stay still during that time.
Satan's sheaf and lectures to reach the state of the Buddha.
The money earned by the team members evaporated again into Satan's altars and lectures.
“Haha...! Haha...!”
Seo-joon gasped for breath.
Seo-joon finally sat down in his seat.
Although it was a practice of power that was repeated over several days.
《Progress rate of the Satanic River 29.9% (+0%)》
Seo-joon was unable to reach the realm of fa-jin.
Indeed, it is a highly advanced skill that even the transcendentalists cannot do freely.
Even setting foot on that level was not easily allowed.
Seo-joon took a deep breath and asked Satan.
“How come you keep getting stuck here... Instructor, do you have any tips or know-how?”
[Hmm... It seems that the reason itself has been enlightened, I mean.]
Satan was silent for a moment as if he was worried.
After a while, Satan opened his mouth again.
[Actually, there's no such thing as a tip... but how about learning new senses?]
“Senses?”
[okay. What sense have you learned now?]
“The metamorphosis of the bones.”
It was none other than the sense I learned from Chiron.
Satan nodded slowly as if he knew that.
[You learned well. Chiron is a friend who has a natural talent when it comes to nurturing him.] [
But that sense alone isn't enough to freely use fa-kyung.]
[I'm not saying that the level of metamorphosis is low. It's just that the difficulty of Fa-Gyeong is too high.]
Seo-jun nodded slowly.
Chiron's sense is a lecture learned at the introductory stage.
Above all, the rating was also A-class.
Of course, there were elements that could not be considered as simply A grades.
Wasn't there one out of Chiron's senses among the beings that Seojun had fought so far?
Jecheondaeseong and Satan.
Except for these two Transcendentalists, there was nothing Chiron's senses could not perceive.
Selflessness, which is called the ultimate in stealth.
Even that did not escape Chiron's senses.
However, Fa-Gyeong is a highly advanced skill that is difficult for transcendentalists to use.
As Satan said, Chiron's senses had their limits.
[Rather than that, you don't intend to use Fa-Qing just once like other Transcendentalists.]
Even more so if you want to continue using Fa-Qing.
“Would it be easier to learn fa-jin if I learned a new sense?”
[Obviously,]
Satan continued.
[The reason of Fa-Gyeong is sense. Error of perfect zero state. This is not something you can do intentionally.]
[It's a habit through the senses. Anyway, sense is an absolute factor in fa-jin.]
“Hmm...”
[As you said, you are currently stagnant. I can't progress any further as it is now.]
In short, any more classes and lectures are a waste of money.
Seojun hardened his thoughts and said.
“Then I’ll learn a new sense and come back.”
[Yes, causation is also causal, but we can't waste strict time.]
Satan nodded calmly.
And suddenly his eyes flashed.
He then looked at Seo-joon and gave an evil smile.
[However, the remaining time is non-refundable! Hahahahaha!]
Satan disappeared just like that.
“......”
Seo-joon was at a loss for words.
And I counted the time.
The remaining time after the 1-hour payment is 47 minutes.
Satan's stage and lectures that cost 17 billion won per minute.
In a word, Satan ate about 800 billion.
Of course, I couldn't get back the one-hour causation I had already paid.
The moment I paid 1 trillion, it was fate that I could not get it back anyway.
“...... shit!”
Doesn't it look like you've been cheated on?
Technically, it could have been a scam!
“Next time... See you next time, Instructor.”
Seo-joon swallowed the rising anger.
#
An unknown place in Africa.
“Keuk...!”
The twisted being could not come to his senses from the pain that ran through his whole body.
The shock that revealed the reality.
The consequent destruction of the power of sin.
In addition, the side effects of unskilled teleportation [S].
Iron pudduck.
dump.
The body that could not withstand the collapse broke and flowed down.
The body that flowed down came back and was repaired.
And again, the iron puddeok breaks off and flows down.
Then it gets patched up again.
The process was repeated countless times.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Every time that happened, pain surged as if grabbing at the root of the soul and cutting it off.
Even taking a step because of it.
No, I couldn't even stand properly.
And a being who looked at such a distorted existence.
[...]
The great voice stared blankly at the twisted existence.
The Seven Deadly Sins, the Prison of the Origin that constituted the Distorted Being.
Of the 7 sins, 3 of them were destroyed.
This was... unexpected.
The great voice only looked at the twisted being with no will.
The twisted being also looked to such a great voice.
Iron pudduck.
dump.
A body that continues to break and flow.
The twisted being forced its mouth open.
“You said you would… make the stage. Queue!”
However, because of the constant pain, I couldn't speak properly.
“say...! I don't know what I should do...!”
The great voice slowly turned its back.
The extinction of the three sins
was certainly unexpected.
But the most important sin is pride.
Fortunately, the power of pride was still intact.
so maybe
Again, this could have been a good thing.
“Don’t kill me!! That baby ...! Be sure to kill! ”
Kwakkwakkwa!!
Thanks to that, I think the power of pride will germinate sooner than expected.
【Follow me.】
The great voice moved slowly.
