chapter 449
449 – Small Insurance
[Please share your thoughts on winning.]
“Yes, yes? Uh… That’s…”
The host ran towards us in a huff and suddenly held the microphone.
After much thought, Yeonhee finally succeeded in saying a word.
“I hope this beautiful world will remain the same in the future. That’s all…”
‘··· Yeonhee. What do you mean by that all of a sudden?’
It was a bit of a surprise even for me, her faithful servant and lover her, to hear, but the host quickly packaged Yeonhee’s remarks her
[Wow – world peace! As expected, the winners of the competition have different aspirations! He said that when he grows up, he will try his best for world peace. Listen carefully!]
“Uh… It’s not that bad…”
I tried to refute in a hushed voice, but the host, who had the tension of another world, focused on questions about gossip rather than that.
“We’ll talk about it later in the studio, but just a few quick questions…”
“Eh?”
Every time a question was asked, Yeonhee panicked and panicked, and I watched for a moment and stood close next to her to block the mischievous host.
[Oh oh-!! Aren’t you the ‘Reaper’, said to be summoner Lee Yeon-hee’s strongest power? Could you please describe in one word how you feel right now?]
The host of this crazy tension even asked me a question.
Considering that most beings could not approach me easily due to the ‘daunting feeling of existence,’ he was a person with great mental power.
‘Rather, since I am a non-awakened person, I am less affected…’
“Crack, crack, crack!”
When I clicked my teeth against the microphone and sparks appeared in my eyes, the host seemed to be very satisfied with it and clapped loudly, encouraging the audience to respond.
– Wow──!!
‘You’re doing all kinds of things.’
Since I was not very different from Yeonhee, I felt very uncomfortable in this situation.
Fortunately, we were able to avoid the event thanks to the dignitaries who showed up to show their faces at the end of the competition.
Before the formal interview, I was spending time with my colleagues in the waiting room.
Suddenly, Hwa-ryeon opened the waiting room door and barged in.
Shin Hee-won was behind Hwa-ryeon, and looking at Hwa-ryeon’s behavior in the national team selection match, it seemed like they couldn’t get along well, so I wondered how they could hang out together.
‘Oh, just because we were assigned to the 3rd punitive force team, are we already going together?’
“Hello…?”
“Hmph…”
Yeonhee mustered up the courage to say hello to Hwa-ryeon first, but Hwa-ryeon did not accept the greeting after she came in.
‘Wow, that guy’s temper.’
“What are you guys?”
“Ah, that person is our guild’s hunter named Hwa-ryeon.”
“Hwaryeon? Ah, the top four in the national team selection?”
“What? Crazy bitch?”
No Hayun had heard her story about Hwa-ryeon from her cage her her her, so as soon as she saw her her her her, she faced her fiercely.
He even slowly raises the magic power in his hands to try to counter the flames of Hualien.
Eunyoung and Arin just blinked and looked up at Hwa-ryeon and Hayun, and I blocked the space between Hayun and Hwa-yun, fearing that an accident might happen.
“I’ll tell you. Hayun, please be patient.”
When Yeonhee tries to stop him, Noh Hayun pretends not to win and retreats.
Unlike usual, Hualien did not provoke any more.
‘Hwaryun will know very well what the outcome will be if it matches up with Noh Hayun.’
It wasn’t obvious that he was hanging around with Yeonhee, but Noh Hayun was worthy of being called the C-class strongest.
Hwaryeon is also considered to be the successor to Pomegranate, but in terms of talent, she is inferior to Noh Hayun. Even the compatibility is greatly pushed back.
“Mo, how are you feeling?”
Yeonhee let out a light sigh and carefully asked Hwaryeon.
“Do you think I look bad to you?”
“It’s not that in particular… What’s the matter?”
Anyone can see that it looks fine, but to me, the internal injuries are not completely healed yet.
‘Anyway, it’s just a bunch of informal talk. Without being cheap.’
Thump-!
“Ugh?! What, what? You’re not letting go of this?”
I don’t know what nonsense she came here to talk about, but I thought I needed to cheer her up a little.
Even if it’s the same 3 teams, it’s rare for them to fight together because they are in different groups. This is to avoid facing unexpected situations later.
“aah!! It hurts!”
I pressed down hard on her shoulder, poured Irmana’s water over my head, activated the water blade [Cicolorin], And struck her neck and wrist.
“Kkeuch… Damn it! What, what?! Is it holy water? Don’t do it! Get it away!”
Hwa-ryeon began to convulse because she was so afraid of Irmana’s water-made blade.
‘Compatibility is not something that can be easily overcome.’
Cheeek──
As the water blade was brought to her her body her her her, Hualien’s fire energy turned into smoke and dispersed in all directions around her.
For fire type hunters, water attribute skills are truly fatal. Needless to say, it is even the water of Irmana.
Water attribute hunters are extremely rare, so they have probably never even experienced a situation similar to the one they are experiencing. It must be a different threat from Noh Hayun’s freezing skill.
‘It would be easier if I made it into a devil.’
After holding Hwa-ryeon’s back, a dark heart rears its head again. The usefulness of the dark devil could be seen just by looking at Haserin.
Hase-rin, who became the first demon, went up to Cha Jin-hyuk’s place that day and carried out everything I instructed.
Cha Jin-hyuk asked Yeon-hee what the hell was going on, but Yeon-hee only asked that she hoped that her followers would be nice to each other.
Of course, Cha Jin-hyuk was simply loyal to Yeon-hee’s request. He was so thrilled that there were other followers besides him that he even sobbed.
‘Everyone is out of their minds…’
Anyway, since that day, Hase-rin has been posting daily reports to Yeon-hee every day.
We recruited several hunters and informed them in detail about their abilities.
‘I need to come to my senses.’
However, thinking like this does not mean that your mind is polluted.
Hwa-ryeon always has a bad habit of gaining the upper hand in a relationship by making unexpected moves that the other person doesn’t think of.
Because I knew it well, there were times when I thought it would be better.
“Oh my gosh…!”
Hwa-ryeon came in with a lot of energy and tried to say something, but her position changed in an instant.
Yeonhee, who was looking at her intently, asked in a cold voice that was not heard from her before.
“I asked what brought you here…”
Yeonhee also doesn’t like repeating the same thing.
In particular, I really dislike people who mess around for no reason.
A majestic light appeared in Yeonhee’s purple eyes, and a unique mysterious magical power began to fill the room.
Hwa-ryeon, who was physically suppressed by me and even overwhelmed by Yeon-hee’s energy, eventually raised the white flag.
“Oh, well, just! I came here to meet you before I go upstairs. Why! Master also said something!”
It was a funny thing.
No matter how many missions Pomegranate Flowers gave us, the world’s Hualien came to save us.
I don’t know if you came here to start a fight.
“I-I-IK…!”
‘He doesn’t give up until the end. It’s really amazing.’
Even though the knife touched his neck and his skin his began to boil, it was impressive to see him not give in to his pride.
“It’s true. I just came here to say hello. I don’t think I could even say hello properly at the last tryout.”
Shin Hee-won, S-class hunter Cha Mu-yeol’s favorite student, hurriedly spoke to Yeon-hee.
Since her words can be trusted, I decided to trust Hwa-ryeon’s words her her her.
But you should at least get a little insurance.
[Flame Slash]
I transformed the finger bones into blades and carved a flame-shaped mark on Hwa-ryeon’s nape.
Chii Iik─
“aah!! It hurts! Stop! What are you doing, you bastard!”
– The flame mark has been overlapped!
A small flame mark appeared on the nape of Hwa-ryeon’s neck.
The moment the message occurred to me, I released the restraints on Hwa-ryeon and lightly threw her against the wall.
Kwadangtang!
‘I feel a bit relieved now.’
A mark was engraved, making it possible to determine the location of Hwaryeon at any time.
Hwa-ryeon, who rolled around awkwardly for a few turns, got red in the face, and when I glared at her with sparks in her eyes, she lowered her gaze to the floor.
‘Ah, why are there so many idiots in the world? How beautiful the world would have been without awakened people…’
It is said that the world was much safer and happier before the gate was opened.
Dogs like this must have been rare.
‘Boring.’ Next time, if you freak out one more time, I’ll turn you into a real devil.’
No matter how much it is said that awakened people are inherently difficult to control their emotions, after meeting Han Eul-min and Hwaryeon one after another, I was on the verge of becoming angry.
[Coldness]
‘Whoo─’
“I understand that we all move separately on our assigned routes from the point where we split up. We communicate to maintain a certain distance, but there’s no reason to be face-to-face, right?”
Noh Hayun was still staring at Hwa-ryeon sharply, with a cold feeling in his hands.
Ice and fire.
Since they are two people whose compatibility is at two extremes, their gazes on each other are as harsh as the midwinter dawn breeze.
“Vision Guild’s Noh Hayun. When did you say you saw her informally?”
“Why are you speaking informally to Yeonhee? I haven’t heard you say something harsh?”
Hwa-ryeon caressed the back of her neck where the mark had been given and opened her eyes wide to avoid losing momentum.
“Hwa-ryeon, please stop. Actually, I was the one who suggested coming here. So if you want to say anything, please curse at me.”
Shin Hee-won came dressed in a two-piece suit with a more casual style than usual.
Thanks to the characteristics of the awakened person who aims for an optimal body, she did not lose her femininity at all even though she was in a tank position.
‘Where are you going to see it? I came here wearing clothes I didn’t wear before.’
In the guild, I always saw people wearing full armor, so dressing like that was something new.
After calming down our excitement for a moment, we exchanged friendly greetings with each other.
Hwa-ryeon was so angry that she sat across from me and had a snowball fight with me without making any conversation with other people.
‘I don’t know what this guy is thinking. Is your head like a carp?’
If I were to do a brain teaser on my own, I thought Hwa-ryeon would still not be able to recover from the shock of defeat. She was so unstable that it seemed like she couldn’t stay still. Her judgment is also clouded.
‘I think it was Dalian’s first defeat… But rather, defeat became poison for Hualien.’
I don’t know if it’s okay to take a kid like this to subjugate a nation-annihilating monster. Of course, since his teacher was assigned to team 2, he probably tried to fit in somehow.
Shin Hee-won once again explained the purpose of his search to see how much tension he had relieved.
“As Hayun said earlier, there will be no prompt cooperation from above. Still, there will be no cooperation, so I wanted to ease the tension in advance. Imagine if a situation like today happened in North Korea.”
“Hmm… That’s definitely true.”
“Oh… That’s true.”
Still, Shin Hee-won had a reasonable reason, perhaps because she was a bit older. Since I’m going to bump into it once, I decided it’s better to experience it before I go up.
“Then we’ll go out. Next time, whoever finds it first will pretend to know?”
“Yes, see you the day after tomorrow! Hwaryeon, too?”
“······ Hmph!”
In the end, the two people made a fuss and left.
In any case, it was positive that it became an opportunity for colleagues to recognize the existence of a time bomb called Hualien.
“Anyway, what should we do tomorrow? Would it be better to take care of your condition?”
Bae Joo-ah, who always focuses on realistic aspects, asked what to do tomorrow.
Since you have to depart upwards at dawn two days later, there is also the option of taking a day off altogether.
“I want to do something special. They say it will take at least 15 days.”
The operation period is at least 15 days.
During that time, we must kill as many regular soldiers of the Devouring Creepers as possible and rescue those who are suffering from them.
All we have to do is collect the green magic stones they spit out and prove our contribution.
‘If not… The most certain thing is true. It’s about capturing at least one elite soldier. It’s not easy.’
