chapter 443
443 – A Boring Relationship
‘But it’s a really amazing ability. Is this a similar concept to protective coloring?’
Noh Hayun did not turn invisible, but she was in hiding in the style of a doppelganger, assimilating with her surroundings. When he came closer, he noticed that it was very mottled here and there.
Shake-
Noh Hayun collapsed after being hit on the neck by me.
I laid her down on the floor, lightly holding her around her shoulders to keep her from hitting her head on the floor.
I could feel Yeonhee’s stinging gaze at her, but she seemed to just ignore this.
Eventually, cheers like ‘Wow’ begin to fill the stadium.
I, who was obviously with Yeonhee in the sky, picked up Noh Hayun, who had fainted in the snowstorm, and came out. The audience was confused for a moment, but then started clapping and shouting.
A wizard with genius talent generously demonstrated the family’s vision, and showed off most of the capabilities of the only class, a summoner.
It was a satisfying debut as there were plenty of elements to please the eyes.
‘If this is the case, even the witch won’t say anything, right?’
If we run straight to the championship like this, the position of Noh Hayun, who fought the fiercest, will also be reevaluated.
The members of the Vision Guild immediately rushed out and took care of Noh Hayun warmly.
There are also a few people who went to the headquarters of the Ilseom Guild together.
One of them even gives us a thumbs up.
Yeonhee returned straight to the waiting room, leaving them behind, and only then sighed deeply.
“Puha- Hayun, you’re really strong! It seems like it was a bit dangerous, huh?”
‘Lies.’
“Hehe- isn’t that a bit much?”
Yeonhee did her best, but the word best tends to change slightly depending on the situation.
She did the best she could against her teammate, but she did not even show 70% of what she was capable of.
Even if you exclude me.
Rattling-
“Good job, Yeonhee. Did you do a good job too, Ilwol?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
The person who opened the door to the waiting room and came in was Kang Yeon-soo.
As soon as she came in, she started talking about the game she had just played.
“I don’t know where they go around just setting themselves on fire.”
“Where do you think it went?”
Since Yeon-hee had already been informed that Jo Ki-man’s alter ego was hanging out in her office, Yeon-hee was not surprised and asked about the whereabouts of her real self.
“··· Did you know? Where did he go… I don’t know? Some say he went to Jeju Island, while others say he went overseas.
I don’t know, because once he starts doing things as he pleases, there is no end to him. There are times when I wish I didn’t come before the vote. It’s just because I’m tired.”
Yeonsu said that now there is no one in the White Knight Guild who does not know about the existence of Jo Gi-man’s alter ego.
I don’t know if someone spread the rumor on purpose or what, but it’s not good in many ways for the guild leader to go out without keeping his position his.
“Well, that’s fortunate for us. Haha. This is my world for a while. It’s a lot of fun to preach to children who only bite and suck at croaker. Yes.”
She burst into laughter and massaged Yeonhee’s shoulders.
“It was a very good idea to fight while taking a moderate line. Vision’s Noh Hayun is definitely evaluated as having a talent that surpasses that of a ‘witch’. He was easily fooled, wasn’t he?”
Yeonsu was so satisfied with Yeonhee’s performance that she overpowered the ‘witch’s ‘daughter, so she couldn’t stop laughing.
“Well, not to that extent… And I heard from Hayun. I heard that the growth rate of bloodlines that have taken the advanced arcane course from a young age becomes steeper as the years go by.”
“Ah, that’s right. I also heard that visionaries tend to be slow starters. It’s a bit scary~ This generation’s hunters.”
Kang Yeon-soo used to refer to the hunters below her as her next generation, and it was enough for Noh Hayun to be proud that she was recognized for her keen eye for people.
Anyway, Kang Yeon-soo is a monster among monsters who competed with a ‘witch’ by force. Of course, I lost because it wasn’t ripe that time, but if I fight again now, I won’t know who will win or lose.
“Do you know who’s playing next?”
“Huh? There’s still a match-“
“Just finished. He’s a promising member of the Guardian Guild.”
“Guardian Guild… It won’t be easy.”
The moment I heard the guild name, I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.
‘The Guardian Guild is where that bastard like Han Eul-min is. Surely that bastard won’t suddenly jump out?’
It was so cliché that I almost burst out laughing. Of course, I can’t even smile.
“He’s quite capable of using magic. It seems like the only thing he can use is magic missiles, but his rate of fire and destructive power are quite useful.”
“Ah, yes! I understand. I’ll do my best this time too!”
“Oh, whatever. Do it in moderation. Ilwol doesn’t even fight.”
“Hehe… If Ilwol gets involved, it will end too easily.”
“That’s right. We’d be grateful if you continued to do so. Since we are also in a profession that has some intersection with celebrities, it’s good to show a certain level of showmanship.”
Kang Soo-soo preaches to Yeon-hee about the mindset of a hunter.
More than that, I hoped that the discomfort I felt now would not become reality.
‘Magic Missile… I also feel uncomfortable.’
Because I didn’t want to see that dirty face again on a good day.
And after some time.
We took part in the second quarterfinal match held in the afternoon.
Across from us, a man with a pale face was glaring at us as if we were going to kill him.
Although he has one arm, he wears a prosthetic arm.
‘Ha… I really can’t even laugh.’
“Ugh, I was skeptical when I saw the bracket, but it’s still the same.”
“Tick…”
The opponent for the quarterfinals was the Guardian Guild’s eternal loser. It was Han Eul-min.
‘Boring.’ Really. Even though it’s only the third time I’ve seen it in this life, I’m still very excited. Human beings themselves.’
Han Eul-min lost one arm to ‘Tooth’ during the Guchang-ro dungeon break, and also lost the other arm while playing tricks at Helen’s store.
‘It looks like the arm that was cut off at Helen’s store was reattached through surgery. No matter what, once you get cut, it will be difficult to regain your original skills, right?’
It was surprising that Han Eul-min appeared as a representative at this competition. Even if you hit it well, how did this guy, who should be struggling at the low-level hunter level, get up here?
‘It’s obvious.’
Now, I wonder if it makes sense to say that using evolution numbers is an expedient method.
‘The scent of Jinhwasu is strong… I wonder how much I ate… Han Eul-min. I crossed a river I shouldn’t have crossed.’
It was qualitatively different from the scent that was wafting from ‘Go Hyeok’ who fought in the national team selection competition.
A rough, ferocious, unrefined wild scent.
‘Tsk tsk… This isn’t the age of doping. I wonder how the world is going.’
Piy──
The game started, but Han Eul-min just looked at us and smiled bitterly.
“Kkeukkeukkeuk… Heaven helped me. He even gave me this gift on the way to victory.”
“Wh-what do you mean?”
“I’m glad I got the chance to kill your bitch in a place like this. Haha!”
“I haven’t done anything, so why are you hostile to me?”
“You didn’t do anything…? Are you saying that after cutting off my arm?”
“What am I doing?!”
‘You were the one who got cut by bodyguard Hayoon Noh while you were installing it, right?’
Yeonhee was left speechless by Han Eul-min, who was showing reckless logic, and I came to a conclusion after understanding his energy to some extent.
‘The evolution water this bastard ate has nothing to do with physical ability. The energy related to magic has increased tremendously?’
Since he was a wizard who mainly fought with magic missiles to begin with, there is nothing particularly surprising about it. The magic shield that was currently protecting his body was not something that could be easily pierced.
The magic shield is a basic ability that an awakened person can utilize with just a little effort.
However, his shield was at a level that should have been placed much higher than that.
‘It seems like a new trait has blossomed. It would be difficult to inflict damage with a decent attack.’
Of course, that’s a general point of view, and by my standards, you can cut it like soft tofu.
“I’ll show you. My power-“
Han Eul-min made a grand gesture and began reciting an incantation.
Why bother dating a complex beastman who isn’t a ninja? This is something I’ve been curious about for a long time.
‘Hey!’
I ran right away.
Easy profit─ Kwajik─!
“─?!!”
Kwaang───!!
I just hit him on the head with my palm.
I couldn’t figure out anything more about him, so I just ran over and struck his head, sending him crashing into the stone wall where the stands were located.
“Krreuuuuu…”
Han Eul-min, buried in the collapsed wall, soon lost consciousness.
For a moment, silence fell on the stadium.
Truly overwhelming.
I tried to leave it to Yeonhee again this time, but I couldn’t hold back my anger at the moment.
‘Anyway, that bastard – is there a law that says he can’t just close his mouth and attack right away?’
Of course, just because Han Eul-min was knocked out by one of my attacks didn’t mean that Han Eul-min was weak.
In any case, he was strong enough to become the representative of a large guild, and if it was a place like the Guardian Guild, he would have passed the representative selection competition like us.
Of course, that was the result of using excessive expedient methods.
‘I can’t believe I ruined my body just for a competition like this. ‘Why are you in a hurry?’
Even if I win this competition, my severed arm won’t grow back.
“Wow, my vision can’t keep up anymore.”
Yeonhee pretended to wipe her forehead as if she had trouble even following my movements.
But then.
Han-eul-min, who had been lying down, stood up, and wasn’t he slowly flying towards the stadium?
‘You may be the only one who can use the Rune of Wealth in style.’
An image of a guy giving a long speech about how all wizards should fly in the sky suddenly came to mind.
“Do you want to continue?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
There is no particular off-limits area, nor has he declared abstention. Since the referee did not declare defeat, the game is expected to resume.
‘I was afraid it would explode my head so I hit it gently. Tsk-‘
-What are you doing? Han Eul-min, that bastard. Do you want to try it yet?
– A bastard who was thrown into the wall with one blow knows no shame.
– Is that the guy who got cut off by his father for being such a bastard? You play like you’re supposed to.
– Looking at the fact that you came here with that skill, I don’t think it’s anything like that, right? I’m guessing they’re still looking after you. Because it is difficult to cut off blood relatives.
There were a lot of spectators who gloated over Han Eul-min, probably because he became famous for being quite the idiot.
The deputy guild leader is actually leading the guardian guild is Han Eul-min’s father, and he seems to have accepted the pain of cutting off his only son.
‘There was an urgent reason. I wanted to show my father some results.’
“Aren’t they all covered up!!”
Han Eul-min poured out his magic power and screamed at the audience, erected his magic shield even thicker, and began to gather all the energy within him.
‘Hmm… I guess they’re going to bomb [Magic Missile].’
I know his organs because I saw them once in my past life.
He’s a magic missile one-tool, so he’s quite skilled in that area. Looking at the absolute value of the increased magical power and other things, what I was trying to do was obvious.
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“Huh? Okay.”
Kuuuuung──
Yeonhee easily entered the space in the center of the golem that had been summoned in advance.
This moment was actually the only chance to hit Yeonhee, but Han Eul-min was wasting time gathering his strength.
‘Just give it a try. Can someone like you break through?’
You could run right now and cut the space with your sword. I was a little curious.
How much power will the hunter who doped a lot of evolution water without thinking about the future have?
“It’s just… I wish you had just listened to me!!”
With an inexplicable scream, as many as fifteen light green spheres appeared behind Han Eul-min’s shoulders. That would be enough power to lay waste to one or two groups of low-level Orc fighters.
‘Are you trying to burn your last flame in a place like this? It’s a waste.’
Even if you die, how good would it be to fight against guys like the Orc commander? He was a selfish guy until the end.
Magic missiles soon start shooting out of the sphere like rapid fire.
It was like looking at a multiple rocket launcher.
Easy profit──!
As the magic missile flew in, covering the pitch-black sky, ‘Castle’ crouched down to protect Yeonhee.
Puffpuffpuffpuff!!
Dozens of magic missiles were bombarded sharply on the left side of the guy’s face and shoulder.
‘Wow, it can be called a special move.’
The power of each magic missile was considerable, and the control of accurately focusing it on one point was a work of art. If you just look at the amount of damage, Han Eul-min caused much more damage than Noh Hayun’s Seolchang.
‘He’s definitely not without talent. Tsk-‘
“aah!! Die!! Die!! Die-“
Suddenly—!
“Huh?!”
I lightly leapt at Han Eul-min, cut off both his arms and legs, including his prosthetic hands, and then kicked the guy’s torso, sending him crashing into the wall again.
Kwaang──!
‘This bastard should not be allowed to roam outside at all.’
Looking at the eyes that were turned today, it was a bastard who would cause a bigger accident later.
‘It would be neat to kill them, but there are too many eyes watching.’
I threw Han Eul-min’s arms and legs into subspace and stared blankly at the referee.
[Oh my, the winner is summoner Lee Yeon-hee!]
Explosive cheers.
As soon as the winner or loser was decided, more than a hundred drones flew around us, capturing images of me and Yeonhee.
-Healer!! This, this. It hurt quite a bit.
– The cut surface is clean, so attaching it is no problem!
The healing hunters who ran to Han Eul-min looked at me and held out their hands. I’m guessing you’re asking for the cut off arms and legs.
But I firmly shook my head.
“Crack, tick, tick!!”
– Damn it, it’s a monster so I can’t understand it! Ask Hunter Lee Yeonhee.
