Chapter 149 – 149. Dungeon Survival
149. Dungeon Survival
A fist comes flying in my face.
I used a straight chalna.
Eun Sang-min recently became a C-class hunter. Even if he didn’t wield his fists with mana, it can’t be denied that his physical abilities are higher than mine.
Besides, I couldn’t believe Eun Sang-min would throw a fist right here. He can’t dodge this fist unless it’s for a moment.
‘… Shall I just give it a shot?’
It’s more comfortable when you think about the future. First of all, you can make an excuse that that bastard hit you.
‘But you have to be beaten by this bastard? Fuck you.’
No matter how comfortable it is, it’s something I can’t do with my pride.
I clenched my fists and avoided Eun Sang-min’s attack. Then, sparking thunder and mana, he swung his fist at Eun Sang-min’s face.
Quaang!
Eun Sang-min flies away. The cafe’s glass walls were smashed, and his body was thrown out of the store and rolled on the floor several times.
“Hey, this crazy guy is really… Are we going to do it properly?!”
Eun Sang-min shuddered and stood up from his seat. One side of his face is red, and blood is dripping from his mouth.
‘You say you stand up after being hit by this? Class C is not a form.’
The opponent was also able to handle mana, so he couldn’t even be electrocuted with thunderbolt. If I had a similar physical ability, I would have already passed out and left.
“You were the one who swung your fist first. I was just defending myself. Fuck you.”
I walked out of the broken glass wall… I didn’t pay attention to my surroundings. Anyway, this cafe was a quiet place. There were no guests.
“Okay. This baby. Let’s hold a portrait today.”
Eun Sang-min clenched both fists. Sharp thorns began to sprout from his fists.
It is Eun Sang-min’s ability. He can put thorns on his body or objects. He can also create thorns and throw them in the air.
That guy is a guy who makes himself proud, so there is no one in the department who doesn’t know about his ability. And I’ve seen it in person before.
“Please wipe the blood from your mouth. It looks like a dick, but someone would think it was a zombie.”
Grip support.
A thunderbolt wriggled in my right fist.
My physical ability is higher over there, but I don’t think I’ll lose.
Eun Sang-min swung his fist at me from a distance. A stone thorn created in the air flies towards me. I approached Eun Sang-min, avoiding the thorns by stepping on foot.
‘Even if I don’t have a sword, it doesn’t mean I can’t step on Yeongcheon-ryu’s steps.’
Eun Sang-min and I engaged in close combat. Like a C-class hunter, it was evident that he had learned martial arts. But when I saw it, it was very clumsy. It was obvious that he didn’t use his fist well.
I started attacking one-sidedly, avoiding his fists and kicks with the Yeongcheon-ryu foot technique.
“Aaaaa!”
Eun Sang-min shouted in anger. My eyes caught the nearby ground wriggling.
I used channa right away.
I could see the ground turning into thorns and slowly rising towards me. Jumping up and avoiding the thorns, he kicked Eun Sang-min.
“Ouch!”
Eun Sang-min fell to the floor. It was the perfect timing to get into a mount stance, but when Eun Sang-min turned his whole body into thorns like his hedgehog, I couldn’t respond because there was no answer.
“I heard that you are a C-class hunter. Why can’t we fight like this? Is it really class C? Did you feed the Hunter money?”
“This bastard!”
It was the moment when Eun Sang-min stood up again.
“Stop!!”
Han Harin activated her ability to stop us.
Gravitational field.
A higher gravity is applied to Eun Sang-min and me. But we didn’t have enough to stop.
Just as Mana has resistance to my thunderbolt to prevent electric shock, it gives Han Harin resistance to gravity. Han Harin’s gravity can’t overwhelm me and Eun Sang-min. It’s all about slowing down your body.
A long thorn extended from Eun Sang-min’s grip. Eun Sang-min swung the thorn like a sword. It is a skill that is on a different level from awkward punching.
‘This bastard…. You crossed the line.’
Bare hands and weapons. The weight felt from the words is different.
Through a moment, I once widened the distance.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 2]
Don’t pull out your weapon I wanted to hide the existence of the inventory, and since it had a moment, I thought that bare hands were enough.
‘I’ve had enough of it already. Let’s knock it out and finish it.’
He can’t react to my moment. If he was a proper C-rank, he would have reacted, but that guy was just a baboon who had just become a C-rank.
I took steps again and approached Eun Sang-min. Looking at his slowed movements, he looks for an opening.
Eun Sang-min’s eyes were visible.
The moment I saw the eyes full of hostility, old memories came to mind.
It was the voice of a college classmate I overheard while passing by the hallway.
‘Oh Mr. What is the ability to stretch the body? I can only grow 30cm, so where should I use this ability? What is life really like? Should I just hit the Hunter?’
‘Hey. Hey. Still, it’s better than not having the ability. Because you can become a Hunter. Look at Sung Yujin. He comes to the department without even realizing it. Honestly, isn’t it a lie to say that that’s enough potential?’
Haha. Well, it’s better to have these abilities than to have none like him.’
I knew that even though they pretended to be considerate of me on the outside, they treated me like an idiot behind the scenes.
The subtle contempt in their eyes and the ridicule from a place I can’t see.
I knew but couldn’t do anything. I had no strength whatsoever. I thought several times about whether I should stop being a hunter on the way and live as a normal person even now.
‘Hey. Are you an aspiring hunter who is in our department? It’s been a year and you haven’t awakened yet? Why are ordinary people in the Hunter Department?’
‘Sangmin-ah. Drunk a lot calm down.’
‘Oh, little. Let go Did I say something wrong? Uh? If you are incompetent, then I am. And just turn it off Why did you stay in the Hunter Department and muddy the water? It’s so fucking embarrassing to have someone like you among my juniors. Really.’
‘Eugene. Don’t mind. He’s just a little drunk.’
‘Hey. That’s what ability is. Were you scared? Why are you shivering? It just brushed by the side. The guy who wants to become a hunter is scared with only this…. Men and horses. Hunters must always be prepared for death. I can’t be scared like you.’
‘Eun Sang-min! What are you doing?! He’s an ordinary person who hasn’t awakened his abilities yet! Did you really turn?!’
‘Madam…. It’s a joke. Joke. Making a fuss about something like this…….’
Pudeudeuk.
Eun Sang-min’s arm bent in an impossible direction and broke.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Hearing his screams, he loosened his left hand and raised his right hand. In my right hand, a black Heavenly Demon flag was blooming.
I looked at him and smiled. His body trembled and he crouched down on the floor, looking up at me, his eyes full of fear.
“A C-class hunter is trembling with just this……. Shouldn’t a Hunter always be prepared for death?”
To kill Eun Sang-min, he used the Heavenly Magic Sura (天魔修羅). The Cheonma Sura is a handicraft in the Cheonma Singong. He should know that dying in the Heavenly Demon Sura is an honor.
“Kill……. Uh?”
In an instant, the field of vision widened. I was filled with thoughts of killing Eun Sang-min, but those thoughts suddenly disappeared and the situation came into view.
It feels like drinking very cold cold water when your body is sweating profusely on the street in midsummer.
I opened my eyes wide when I saw the Heavenly Demon Sura on my hand.
‘Poetry, shit. Margie? Why is this all of a sudden?’
The black demonic energy on my right hand got smaller and smaller and soon disappeared without a trace.
‘No. Than that. I had no intention of killing this bastard!’
It is true that Eun Sang-min is an annoying guy. It is true that there is something accumulated about that guy. However, if it was to the point of killing Eun Sang-min, it would not be.
If this was a game world, I would have killed them without a second thought, but this is reality. I can’t handle the aftermath if I kill Eun Sang-min here.
The reason I raised a fight with Eun Sang-min was because I had the judgment that I could handle it forever.
‘Why did I kill that guy….’
Doubts did not follow. It was because someone suddenly rushed from behind, grabbed both of my arms, and subdued me in an instant.
“What a hundred!?”
“Don’t move! It’s the Hunter Association!”
I tried to resist reflexively, but when I heard that, I relaxed. You shouldn’t just resist. The opponent has public power, and only Hunters can be punished immediately.
“What are you doing on the street in broad daylight? You. Are you very crazy? Uh?”
“…….”
“Stand up! If you use an ability or move mana, it just kills you right away. Just quietly get in the car!”
•••
I was locked up in the detention center of the Southern Seoul Branch of the Hunter Association. The place where I am is inside the iron cage made for hunters. He has already been investigated by association staff and is waiting in the detention center.
I looked at the nursery across the street. Eun Sang-min, who fought with me, was also locked up. His body was fine. This is because one of the association’s staff, a hunter with healing powers, cured him.
‘This will just end with a fine.’
Although the result is the exact opposite, Eun Sang-min is a C-class hunter and I am an E-class hunter. Due to the nature of the Hunter Act, it is much more disadvantageous to Eun Sang-min, who is a high rank. Even though it blew me away.
Harin Han wrote a statement as a witness and left. She noticed it, but it seems that it was not she who reported it to her association, but the owner of her cafe.
Eun Sang-min and I will end with an agreement. The Hunter Act is so damn good, regardless of whether you are the perpetrator or the victim, punishment is given only for fighting in the real world, not in a dungeon. In other words, it is basically laying down the fruits of both sides.
It’s best to come to an agreement and pay a fine to the Hunter Association to make this happen.
I leaned against the cellar wall and thought.
‘I tried to kill Eun Sang-min secondly…. I used the Heavenly Demon Sura in real life.’
It means that he unconsciously used the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art.
No matter how you think about it, it makes no sense. Except for the Heavenly Demon Sura just before, he had never succeeded in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art in real life.
But did you subconsciously succeed during the battle? Considering my talent, this would never happen.
‘There’s no way this could happen without any reason.’
It’s serious. There’s no law preventing this from happening again.
‘I suspect… Heavenly Demon God.’
There is only the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art. If you look at the Cheonma Singong, which often appears in novels, the essence of the Cheonma Singong is eventually magic.
I caused a runaway and tried to kill Eun Sang-min using the Heavenly Demon Artisan. It was because of the use of the Heavenly Demon Art, which had never been used in real life.
‘The Heavenly Demon Singong is a martial art given to me by the King of the Heavenly Demon. His true identity is probably a demon. If you look at what he’s doing, he’s just the devil.’
My conclusion is that the King of the Heavens played a trick on the Heavenly Demon Art.
Let’s make an analogy with a computer.
I’m a fucking computer And Cheonma Shin Gong is a fucking porn. The problem is that the porn contains a virus that infects the computer.
‘I changed my computer because of a virus in the past. I was scolded by my mother for being behind, but I was able to switch to a newer computer.’
That way is impossible. Because you can’t change me to another me.
‘It’s impossible to get rid of the virus even with complete recovery.’
Because the subject of the virus is the Heavenly Demon Art. If we don’t get rid of the Heavenly Demon Spirit, the virus will continue to come out.
‘…… It’s a vaccine against viruses.’
I have one characteristic that can be called that vaccine.
Mental tolerance.
‘I can’t be sure, but… Wouldn’t it have some effect?’
Raising the level of mental resistance is impossible right now. There were no points.
‘And I’m going to go to God’s world of Atlantis and find out about the Heavenly Demon Art. King of heaven. This bastard is an unbelievable bastard after all.’
It was when I was chewing on the king of demons in my heart.
A man approached the front of the detention center. He is a man who appears to be in his mid-thirties. He is a handsome man with a sharp chin. He is wearing round glasses.
He looked at me in the locker room. He is wearing a clean and classy black suit, but does not appear to be an association employee. I also didn’t avoid his eyes.
“Brother-in-law! Here!”
Sangmin Eun said. I noticed the man’s identity. There is only one brother-in-law of Eun Sang-min.
Han Soo-ri.
He is the master of the Hansuri Guild, an A-rank hunter and a wizard.
He did not respond to the call of his brother-in-law Eun Sang-min, but opened his mouth to me.
“Sorry. My brother-in-law caused trouble.”
