chapter 266
266 – Fundamental Causes
“Please, please! Help me! I-I did something wrong! Ahhhhh! It’s hot! Let me out! Please!”
I looked at the woman and the man for a moment and wondered which one would have the most to eat.
‘Still, the guy who looks like the leader probably knows a lot, right?’
Of course, there was a high possibility that these guys also had some limitations, but that was inevitable.
Pooh wow—!
“Ugh…! You…!”
The great sword pierced the leather armor of fairly good quality like a tofu, piercing the abdomen, and with blood soaked in it, I looked out at the outside world again.
The woman stared at Ilwol for a moment, and then her eyes began to lose their shine.
‘Ignition.’
Grumbling—!
-Obtained a fragment of the contaminated elixir of life. (10/100)
‘They keep giving me only three. It’s ambiguous.’
After putting the woman’s corpse, which started burning with a chain of flames, into his inventory, Ilwol watched the summons fight for a moment.
‘Hmm. I do admit that the summoned animals have grit. It’s too much.’
A moment later, I faced Choi Seong-woong, who stood up and destroyed the summons’ sandwich attack.
“Heo-heo-heo-fuck, you monster!!”
I thought it would take a while, but the man pushed away the summoned beasts in a frenzy in that short moment.
The summons were released from [Frenzy], And the summons were eventually canceled due to the reflection damage they received from the man.
‘It looks like it’s a thorn rune setting. It’s a combination of [Provocative Thorn] And ‘Thorn Rune’… It’s almost a waste to kill.’
A textbook play in which a tank with [Provocation] Sets the main rune to ‘Rune of Thorns’ and the auxiliary rune to ‘Rune of Vitality’, accumulating ‘reflection’ damage to the opponent.
If he continues to grow like this, he will definitely be a decent tank that will be able to play an active role during the Orc corps commander’s air raid.
‘Tsk – I don’t know. Fuck.’
But I touched someone I shouldn’t have touched. I will have to pay for my sin.
“Whoa, I’ll rip you to death!”
Choi Seong-woong, who gained a little momentum by killing the summoned beasts, did not hide his ferocious energy by spitting out harsh expressions.
However, rather than an expression of will to win, it was closer to a feeling of trying to burn the last flame.
Twat tok tok tok-
Il-wol showed off the man’s energy and provoked him by playing with his fingers.
“Ugh?! Holy shit!! War cry!”
Wow~
The guy must have been very angry, so he activated a skill that evoked ‘fear’ and ‘confusion’ first.
But.
—-
Cool
– Never lose your cool in any situation.
– Resistance to mental abnormalities +52%
—-
[Calmness], Which always protects Il-wol, helped her easily escape from such danger.
‘Maybe he doesn’t have the ability to learn, or maybe he’s already forgotten that the provocation didn’t work.’
In the first place, it’s a mental skill for skeletal undead. It couldn’t be more efficient. There has to be something on the head.
Sun and Moon rushed at him in a straight line, activating [Stealth] And soaring into the sky.
“Huh?! What the fuck!”
Wooooong──!
Choi Seong-woong’s Warhammer belatedly passed by the spot where Il-wol was, but it was too late.
‘What on earth is this monster?! Why isn’t the barrier stone responding?’
Choi Seong-woong’s inner thoughts were chaos itself.
He purchased an expensive detection-type barrier stone a few months ago. He put it in the handle of a warhammer and was using it to great advantage.
Whether it was a stealth type hunter or a monster, there was nothing he couldn’t detect.
However, not only could this monster not be detected, but its movements were as fast as lightning, so there was no way to react.
But in a way, it was natural.
There are a total of three movement skills that Ilwol uses on the ground, including [Lightning Step], Which he acquired this time.
Ilwol’s movements, which exploded all of his skills at the same time, had reached a level that was far beyond what a B-class low-ranking hunter could handle.
‘I have to run away. This is not my opponent.’
The situation of not being able to recognize the enemy reminded Choi Seong-woong, who had gained momentum for a moment, of extreme fear.
‘What are you thinking about?’
Byak-!
“Ugh!”
Choi Seong-woong looked flustered for a moment, and Il-wol did not miss the opportunity and struck him in the chin with his fist.
‘Because I can’t kill you.’
Ilwol once again rushed towards the staggering body of the guy.
Ilwol’s powerful charging struck the guy’s abdomen.
Hehe…!”
Because I slammed into it with all my might without thinking about changing direction, it bounced quite a distance. His legs were eaten by the wall of flames, and he jumped and cried out.
“Hehe! Hee hee…!”
They say that one of the greatest pains a person can feel is being burned. Flame was a really useful attribute in that respect.
The guy who managed to extinguish the burning fire on his leg by rubbing it into the ground with his magic power. Now I was cornered to the point where it was difficult to maintain my sanity, and my lower body was becoming wet from the extreme emotions.
Poop-!
Ilwol barely got up and kicked the stumbling man’s jaw once more.
“Kuhuhuk-kuuhuk-“
He grabbed the head of the man who had fallen to his knees after hitting him in the chin, and hit his face with his knee.
Kwasik—!
Hehe! Uuuuup-! Heuuuuu!”
Puk puk puk puk!!
As if that wasn’t enough, Ilwol kicked the man’s body several times.
“Krrrrgh… “
Slurp!
In the end, Il-wol grabbed the unconscious guy on the floor by the scruff of his neck and roughly threw him in a corner. After disarming [Wall of Fire], He ran straight to Yeon-hee.
Hehe- Hee, Ilwol-ah hehe-“
Yeonhee was sobbing that she couldn’t speak properly, but she was pointing at Cha Jinhyuk and giving him earnest eyes.
‘In the midst of this, you’re worried about others. But what is this barrier? I feel like I’m protecting Yeonhee.’
The curtain that stands between Yeonhee and himself.
I decided to look into it first after looking at Cha Jin-hyuk.
Cha Jin-hyuk’s condition, which Il-wol saw when he got up and started walking again, was truly terrible.
‘This… Even if I recover, the aftereffects will be serious.’
Even if the wounds that were bleeding profusely were treated with potions and Irmana water, it was fatal that Cha Jin-hyuk’s right wrist, which was the last channel through which his abilities were activated, was cut in half and tattered. Br﹥
‘Still, I’m glad I didn’t get fired. They are terrible people.’
Hehe-Mr. Jinhyuk- hehe-“
As soon as the membrane surrounding her was released, Yeonhee Lee ran over to him and started pouring potions into his body her.
Her trembling hands, she look very pitiful.
The good news is that as soon as Ilwol was summoned, action was taken through Gori.
Gulp-
The minion ‘Gori’ was steadily pouring Irmana’s lake water into Cha Jin-hyuk’s slightly opened mouth.
‘For a debuffer, I’m glad I have a strong body.’
At first glance, the amount of blood loss was enormous, but it was good that he was alive.
Ilwol opened Cha Jinhyeok’s mouth and poured advanced potion and Irmana water into it.
“Wow!”
Il-wol placed her hand on Cha Jin-hyuk’s body and gradually released the flow of tangled magical power.
‘That’s right. But I won’t die.’
Cha Jin-hyuk had a stronger survival instinct than he expected, and even in an unconscious state, he took the treatment well without bleeding much.
“Can I buy it?”
Nod-
At Ilwol’s nod, Lee Yeonhee buried her face in her knees and sobbed for a long time.
“Thank God… Thank God…”
‘I’ll have to hear the whole story, but it would be difficult if Yeonhee became discouraged by this incident.’
Soak-
Yeonhee hugged Ilwol’s back as she was closely examining Cha Jinhyeok’s condition.
“Thank you… Thank you… Hmm…”
The words she kept repeating, thanking me, sounded a little awkward to Ilwol. It was a bit strange to hear that, since the pet was working for her master.
Ilwol conveyed his message through Ran, who was wiping away Yeonhee’s tears with the few remaining feathers of hers.
‘Let’s go into the building first.’
“Uh, yes!”
*
Yeonhee’s emotions have calmed down to some extent, and Cha Jinhyuk still has not come to his senses. And after picking up the trash named Choi Seong-woong, I headed to the second floor of the abandoned building.
“So, so… Well… I just… Left and followed…”
First, I told Yeonhee the whole story until the two men came to their senses.
Even though Yeonhee was crying, she told me everything that had happened. As she calmly listened to the story, her intentions were admirable, but there were also some regrets.
‘I should have been more careful. This is where the lack of experience shows itself.’
What kind of beings are B-class hunters?
These are the people who have overcome the barrier as many as four times in the low level of hunters where even a single rank increase is not easy.
Basically, it’s just a matter of ignoring talents that others would envy.
I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t participate in the battlefield because he was afraid of Tarantara, but even the lowest level B-level hunters should never be underestimated.
‘Yeonhee probably didn’t know that, so what’s the reason for pushing it?’
Since it wasn’t revealed that far, I can only guess. It was impossible to say anything about how I tried to do something.
‘But thanks to you, there will be progress regarding evolution stones.’
In particular, the re-supply of contaminated elixir of life fragments meant that another possibility would continue.
‘It’s a possibility… I’m going crazy too.’
After scolding myself for a moment for thinking that the result born from the children’s pain was a possibility, I continued thinking again.
In fact, the most fundamental cause of this incident was that it took a long time for me to be resummoned after my death.
‘Resummon time… I need to make this to zero. Is there absolutely no way to do this?’
It felt like what I wanted so strongly was reflected to some extent, so I had no choice but to keep repeating it to myself and look for another way.
After finishing her story, Yeonhee sat down in front of me, lowered her head and said nothing.
‘I guess I’ll have to set some action guidelines later. I never dreamed I would make such a bold move on my own.’
Even if you don’t have to say it, you will know that you need to be careful based on your reaction now. Still, it would be better to pay close attention.
‘I want to increase the degree of freedom as much as possible. If we mess up once, it’s over.’
