Chapter 151 – Hunter Hunting
“Jinhan, what are you doing? We don’t want a game like this. If you apologize at this point, I will forgive you, so please stop.”
“Didn’t you hear? Refusal to participate is not possible.”
The Hunter of the Wizards Union spoke with a straight face, but Jinhan’s reaction was sluggish.
Employees who turned into demons surrounded the hunters in the banquet hall.
“What do you want? Do you really want us to fight these demons?”
“Are you fighting? Will you be able to afford it? It’s just a game. You foolish human beings who entered my castle. We are hunters It’s just an escape game where you can run away if you can.”
At Jinhan’s mockery, anger fell on the wizard union hunter’s face.
“Are you threatening rankers right now? I know you’re ranked 8th, but most of the people in the banquet hall are top-ranked hunters in Korea. If you think about the honor of the Hyeonmu Guild, you shouldn’t play pranks like this.”
No one wants a fight between rankers.
S-class hunters whose skill development has reached its peak.
All of them are valuable human resources against cracks, and dangerous bombs that will detonate everything around them if touched incorrectly.
When dealing with each other, there was a side that was especially careful.
Didn’t even Dalian limit the use of magical power to F-class?
Respect and consideration are essential virtues among rankers.
But Jinhan was breaking that.
In front of 10 or so rankers and the rest of the Hunters gathered at the banquet hall.
“Well, it’s called a game, but in fact, I can’t help myself. The real horror is coming. The fear of ‘death’. In the face of the disasters that will soon appear in the system world, shouldn’t we gather all the hunters and resist?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll let you know the details when it becomes my card. I hope you don’t get hurt by needlessly resisting.”
As Jinhan beckoned, the demons moved.
Demons with black magic power in their weaponry.
The energy in the banquet hall becomes ferocious.
“Stop! If you come any closer, I will attack!”
“Chanhan, are you crazy? Do you think that the Hunters of the Hyeonmu Guild can beat us?”
“There are also warriors and saints in the hills! Many other rankers are alive with their eyes wide open!”
“Aren’t you afraid of the aftermath?”
The hunters confronting the demons vomited their anger as if in a fit of fuss.
Most of the responses were outrageous.
Attacking the hunters gathered at the banquet hall is like turning all guilds in Korea into enemies and at the same time admitting that you are the villain.
I didn’t know that the Hyunmu Guild Master, who is second in the Korean Guild Ranking in name and reality, would do something like this.
“There is something you are mistaken about.”
Jinhan looked down at the people and spoke in a low voice.
As he released his mana, the air in the banquet hall was crushed and heavy.
“In the face of disaster coming from beyond the rift, all existing order in the system world is meaningless. Nation, race, society, culture, religion. All the values that you think are important are concepts that will collapse and disappear. It’s ridiculous that a single guild is disappearing.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
In the world beyond the rift, all those standards have long since disappeared.
“And the demons you are dealing with here are not like the Xuanwu Guild. It is the elite army of the Demon Continent.”
Demons who lost their homeland and wander. However, the forces of the castle of paradise were maintained.
No matter how much the 10 or so rankers and other hunters worked together, they weren’t strong enough to dare to oppose.
After setting the perfect trap and preparing for the hunt, the hunters’ outbursts were just ridiculous.
*
Kwakwang! Kurleung!
The entire castle of paradise was shaking.
Shockwaves from the Grand Hall shook the ground like an earthquake, and the atmosphere howled like thunder.
Kwagwawang! Beopbeobung!
The aftermath of the collision of mana spread toward the sky.
Demons spread their wings and were chasing the hunters who escaped through the roof.
Wizard riding a wand. Demons chasing after them like a swarm of bats.
The wizard could not withstand the continued attack and fell to the ground.
Kugoong, Kugoong, Kung!
The roar that intensively resonated in the air for 20 minutes gradually increased in frequency and decreased in volume.
After about 30 minutes, there was only a quiet silence like a mountain swept away by a typhoon.
The half-destroyed Grand Hall.
The traces left by the rough resistance are devastating.
A chandelier with a string fell off and swayed dangerously across the ceiling, and broken furniture lay scattered on the floor.
Who would think that this was the peaceful and luxurious banquet hall?
As if a bomb had exploded several times, there were round dents here and there, and burning remnants rose acrid smoke.
Jinhan did not move a single step from his seat on the stage.
Only the area around him, where the shield was spread, was fine.
I lay on the floor and looked at the Hunters coughing up blood.
“Throw them all in the dungeon.”
After a brief command, the demons bowed their heads and bowed.
The Hunters were tied up and dragged along.
“Ouch, you bastard! What is your true identity!”
One of the hunters who was being dragged into it sighed.
His arms and legs were tied and he struggled, but he did not lose his temper.
I stare at Jinhan fiercely.
Jinhan glanced at him, but he didn’t answer and looked away.
She already seems to have reaped her attention.
In response to his reaction, the demons responded to the hunter instead.
Hunter was beaten by demons until he shut his mouth.
The Grand Hall is quiet.
“All the wizards who escaped were also subdued.”
Jung Yun-hwan, spreading his black wings, came down through the open roof.
Only the horns on her head and the wings on her back were different from her secretary’s outfit.
The high-ranking demons were free to transform their bodies from humans to demons.
“I get it.”
Jinhan nodded and looked around the banquet hall.
It was a pretty fun party.
Isn’t the ending so neat?
His gaze turned to the screen that relayed the mountain.
On one side of the banquet hall, the Hunters who participated in the event were still being relayed.
Some Hunters noticed the abnormality that occurred in the Grand Hall, and some Hunters did not.
Hunters who had already gone deep into the hills could not see the explosion properly.
The treasure hunt game will continue.
Jinhan giggled.
The banquet hall was in such a frenzy, but isn’t Yasan still in the middle of a fun event?
It is also fun to deceive others.
It was fun fishing.
Now it’s time to hunt the big fish you’ve been cherishing.
Jinhan chose a fish while looking at the screen to see which fish he would catch.
The first one is probably that guy.
His eyes were fixed on a corner of the screen.
On the screen, the hero was searching for an item with a firm expression.
Deep in the mountains, he heard a noise coming from the paradise castle, but he didn’t notice it.
Among the hunters who responded to the invitation to the castle of paradise, he was the highest ranker.
As confirmed in the previous Dalian, he was stronger than Heaven.
He was currently the most difficult hunter to catch.
Jinhan decided to step out himself.
Jinhan raised his hand and opened a crack in the air.
A place close to where the hero is.
He remembered all the important points of the island he ruled.
This is the home ground of the devil in the mask, so he is familiar with the magic of all terrains.
“Are you going to catch the hero?”
“Yes.”
“What should other hunters participating in the event do?”
“Send a signal to the demons at the designated place to catch them. I’m going to catch every one of them. Follow up to the end and be careful not to lose position.”
“Yes!”
At Jinhan’s instructions, Jung Yunhwan lowered his waist and replied.
“South Joo-ha. No, Meyerca. You follow me.”
He called Nam Joo-ha, who was standing quietly behind him.
Dressed as a maid, she held a dagger in her hand, and the blood of the hunter who resisted in the banquet hall slipped from her blade.
She was Jinhan’s favorite assassin card.
He quietly followed Jinhan.
Jinhan glanced at the screen for a second before entering the rift.
On the other side of the divided screen, the figure of Cheonun was also reflected.
He was riding the mountain, looking around.
It seems that he does not know what happened in the banquet hall.
He stared at Heaven and entered the crack.
The next warrior is you.
The second target has already been set.
The crack closed after Jin-han and Nam Ju-ha entered.

Hakagoncheong and Choi Taehyeon could not advance far into the hills.
This is because there were difficulties in determining the route from the beginning.
“I have to find the martial arts book!”
“Of course, we should start by looking for expensive trinkets!”
They were forced into pairs to participate in the event, but their goals were completely different.
The eastern part of Hagoncheong is said to have buried a precious treasure.
Choi Tae-hyun wanted to move to the west where many accessories were hidden.
They didn’t even give each other an inch.
“Is this why you can’t be a gentleman? Just looking at wealth makes your eyes go round, tsk.”
“That’s why Yulcheon Guild isn’t popular. There are valuable treasures everywhere, but what is the martial arts book? Armless.”
Hagoncheong looked at Choi Taehyun, and Choi Taehyun looked at Hagoncheong with a pathetic expression.
If they formed a team, they had to move together, so they couldn’t separate, and they were arguing with each other.
Both stubborn people are not persuaded.
“The basis of martial arts comes from knowledge. Knowledge is power, and power brings power and riches, so you guys who don’t even know this basic cause-and-effect relationship and rush to the riches right in front of you are truly foolish.”
“Don’t turn around and say it. The wealth in front of you is an S-class item, but you want to leave it behind and find a martial arts book? As I just said, you acquire wealth by learning martial arts, but the wealth to acquire is right in front of you?”
Hakagoncheong spoke vainly, but it didn’t work at all for the cool-headed Choi Taehyeon.
They are of similar age.
They had no intention of changing their way of living.
Even if you listen to the analogy, there is no effect.
“Conflict! How can you only see the trees in front of you when the forest is wide open! If you learn martial arts, wealth follows on its own, so how can you covet wealth first!”
“This is not just wealth, it is an S-class item. In terms of rank, martial arts are not grade A. Looking for objects that are objectively worthless? Are you senile?”
…
I didn’t care much when the demon appeared out of the woods while I was busy arguing.
Jagged and jagged, he climbed the mountain.
It was then.
Kwakwang! Kurleung!
A roar echoed from the direction of the Paradise Castle.
They had not yet crossed a single mountain, so they could see the paradise castle up close.
He lost his senses due to the magic restraint, but he could clearly feel the vibrations of the ground and the rough wind blowing.
“Did you just see it?”
“Did you see it?”
They asked at the same time.
A wizard who flew in the sky riding a staff, and a group of bat-like demons chasing after him.
It was too vivid to be mistaken.
“Did there be a schedule like this during the event?”
“Wizards fly in the sky, and demons chase them. It was amazing.”
“By the way, didn’t the wizard fall from being attacked?”
“It looked that way to my eyes too.”
The more we talked, the weirder it got.
It was uncomfortable because of the narrower senses than usual because I had the magic restraint ball on, but I felt uncomfortable.
Narrowed eyebrows.
I didn’t climb the mountain higher.
Perbung, Pusssss.
Fireworks shot up in the sky.
Dark red flashes exploded high in the sky and slowly dissipated.
It looks like a signal flare.
Rustle.
“Careful!”
Hakagonchung pushed Choi Taehyeon away.
A dagger flew into the spot where Choi Tae-hyeon had been and pierced it.
When he turned his head, the demons he had been watching were starting to attack.
Hagencheong released his magical restraining sphere.
“Wasn’t the attack just dangerous? If you get hit by a dagger, you might really hurt yourself.”
The dagger thrown by the devil was dangerous enough to fatally wound even an S-class hunter.
Feeling that the attack was too much, Honcheong immediately gave up the event.
Like the castle in paradise, I felt uncomfortable.
After taking off the Magical Binding Orb, the vision becomes brighter and the hearing becomes sharper.
The feeling of opening my half-closed eyes.
I’ve seen demons
Choi Tae-hyeon, who was taken aback by the dagger, also released his magical restraining sphere.
The event went off without a hitch.
“If you release the restraints, you are eliminated. We broke the rules, so please follow us.”
Yellow-eyed demons appeared in front of Haengcheong, exposing their fangs.
According to the rules of the event, they were ejected from the mountain.
“Heh heh, I get it. I admit my elimination, but what the hell happened to the paradise castle? What was your attack earlier?”
“I’ll let you know when we get to the castle.”
“I will follow you after hearing your answer.”
Hagongcheong did not obey the devil’s words.
Demons exchanging glances.
The leading demon frowned.
“They are really stubborn. Even if you notice it like that, it doesn’t move at the beginning of the hill, avoids attacks, and doesn’t listen.”
“You are too rude to your guests. If Seongju Jin-han knew, he would not let go?”
“Don’t take his name carelessly!”
When Jinhan’s name came out, the devil cried out in tears.
Bloody atmosphere.
Hagoncheong raised his qigong.
“You probably need etiquette training. He’s the type of person who spits out squeaks, overly aggressive and rather angry, and as an adult, I can’t just get over it.”
“Adult? Like an insignificant human being.”
Demonic energy rose from the demon’s body.
The first battle in the hills unfolded from the beginning.
