Chapter 131 – Different Dreams (5)
“Hey, what are you doing! If we missed it, we have to go out again!”
Seong Ha-yeon Hunter yelled at me. Thanks to that, I was able to come to my senses. Kim Hyun-gi ran away, but that didn’t mean the monsters had disappeared. Even at this moment, the monsters were attacking passers-by, baring their teeth. I took her spear as she said and ran outside. A large figure rolled across the alley. The Hunter of the Diamond Club was advancing, kicking the monster under her breath.
“Uuuuu!”
A lava ran towards us screaming. Seong Ha-yeon Hunter took me in her arms and rolled her body outside of her. Lava, who passed by us narrowly, pierced the wall of the building and sat down. Seong Hayeon Hunter gritted her teeth and got up from her seat, twisting her hands like her rakes. Frost lingered on the tips of her fingers. She stretched out her hands toward Lava’s stomach, still struggling.
“Booooo!”
From Lava’s stomach, her lower body was covered in ice in an instant. She looked at me and screamed as the movement of her body slowed down from her vigorous struggle.
“Hey! Break it!”
I grabbed the spear with Seong Ha-yeon Hunter and rushed towards Lava, whose half body was turned into ice. Hunter Seong Ha-yeon kicked her and made a dent, and I desperately pierced it with a spear again.
“Cut! Guaaaaa!”
Ignoring Lava’s groaning in pain, we cut a huge hole in Lava’s stomach like miners. Blood and intestines flowed through the openings. Lava threw her hands in the air and toppled over in her screams.
We met each other’s eyes, then punched each other and ran forward.

“Director Jang Ji-wan! Director Jang Ji-wan!”
The Diamond Club’s hunter chanted Jang Ji-wan’s name with his face distorted. But that cry was not heard by Jang Ji-wan. It was because he had left his walkie-talkie on the floor and was busy chasing Choi Soon-hong. After radioing a few more times, the Hunter of the Diamond Club clicked his tongue and threw the radio away.
“Fuck! Where is the gate located? Have you figured out the location of the gate?”
“I got a call saying that two of them were closed. I have no idea how many there are in total! Monsters are still popping up here and there, so I can’t determine the location of the gate with the naked eye!”
“There is Sangmin hyung on our rooftop!”
It didn’t make sense to say that there was someone with surveillance-type ability but couldn’t figure out the gate. At his work, a subordinate shrank his body and said.
“Well, I just got hit by the Black Dragon Ark…”
The news of the sudden death made Hunter’s head dizzy. He sighed and looked down at him. Other surveillance-type abilities were currently dispatched with some A-class abilities because of the gate mission.
“Have you contacted other guilds?”
“Yes. First of all, I contacted them saying that they would send a surveillance-type talent and a few A-class hunters as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
Hunter put a cigarette in his mouth and packed up his gear. He wanted to get out of this catastrophe as soon as possible.
********
“Ughhhhh!”
Purple lightning split the highway. It narrowly passed between the hunters and accurately smashed the head of the monster with its mouth open from a distance. The smell of burning meat spread along with the pitch-black sap. At the same time as the monster collapsed, Kim Yoo-jung rescued the civilian who was shaking in front of the monster and pushed it into the building.
Junhyeok Lee shouted.
“Find the gate! Gate!”
“Don’t we have surveillance-type abilities?”
Seong Ha-yeon Hunter shouted from a distance. In her hand, a hooligan was caught and struggling. The monster’s movement to rip off her darling’s clothes was unwieldy, so she strained her hand and froze the whole hooligan. Lee Jun-hyeok responded by stepping on the elder spider next to her.
“Doesn’t exist! The other day, when the Black Dragon room was ruined, everything went out! You have to find it with your eyes!”
“How to find the gate with your eyes!”
Seong Ha-yeon said that and struck the head of the monster that was rushing forward. Strong Boar lost her balance and collapsed from the impact of the blow to her head. Seong Ha-yeon and Jeong Su-hyeon simultaneously hit her body as it pushed forward as it crushed her car, and Jung Su-hyeon used the impact of her weight to lower the monster’s forehead and take a picture.
“Ha… !”
Her whole body was very heavy. Seong Ha-yeon’s face was also tired. According to the Diamond Club, she closed two gates, but she couldn’t locate the remaining gates. She slumps against the wall as Ichie staggers her legs and catches her breath. She shouted as Kim Yoo-jung sent one more civilian in the direction of the building.
“It makes sense! You can’t rest!”
Ichie nodded at those words and stood up again. However, Kim Yu-jung, who said that, also had torn clothes here and there, and her hands were shaking. Junhyeok Lee Hunter looked around. The Hunters of the Diamond Club also sat down or collapsed one by one.
There was no other way. I had no choice but to find the gate somehow and put an end to this tragedy. Junhyeok Lee gritted his teeth and used his powers once again. A slight dizziness occurred with the feeling of the hairs all over his body standing up. It was a symptom of fatigue.
There were already black corpses of monsters lying around Lee Jun-hyeok. However, this street was still spitting up monsters as if it wanted blood. I heard someone shouting from the Diamond Club side.
“A-rank hunters and sensory-type hunters are coming here right now! Let’s all hold out a little longer!”
Junhyeok Lee did not like the Diamond Club. However, he couldn’t make the person who delivered the news look so pretty right now. A faint smile appeared on everyone’s faces, including Jung Soo-hyeon and Ichi. It was because the end was in sight for this terrible slaughter.
“Find the gate! Found the gate!”
A Black Dragon Hunter from the other side shouted. Hearing the good news one after another, Lee Jun-hyeok couldn’t help but laugh even in the middle of the fight. She turned toward the building where Seonghayeon shouted that the gate had been found. I saw the Hunter from the Black Dragon room who had just shouted, climbing up the stairs.
He was jumping out with his white face.
At that moment, Suhyeon couldn’t understand that expression. Lee Jun-hyeok, a veteran hunter, also did not expect why he was running away with such an expression. Hunter shouted.
“Class A! Class A!”
The smiling face hardened. I felt something approaching after Hunter.
An overwhelming sense of intimidation and heavy living.
Suhyun felt the strength in her legs loosen. He barely survived by using a spear pole as a staff.
Senior Yoo-jeong caught Ichie about to fall. A large head emerged from beyond the cellar. It had large eyeballs that looked like bells. His head looked like a cage. The rusty cage was covered with rags like moss.
The body supporting the head looked like a large fur coat hanging down. If a crooked beast wore a coat, wouldn’t it look like this? It was impossible to know the details of the inside because it was only a pitch-black shadow, but it gave off a strange feeling as if the leather was moving with its shape. Hunter Lee Junhyeok shouted in contemplation.
“Run away!”
No matter who said it first, they started running. A monster’s scream came from behind. I simply screamed, but my vision became dizzy and my sense of balance was strange. We stumbled and had to try to balance. The monsters were also rolling over, unable to overcome the noise.
The A-class monster made a noise once and then slowly approached us. The stones and monsters that touched the hem of the large coat were sucked into the monster’s arms and screamed in agony. Every time the monsters screamed, blood spurted from their heads.
Even in my confusion, I couldn’t bear the horrible sight. Ichie gritted his teeth and stood up. She pointed her sword at the monster and tried to run at it, but Hunter Seong Ha-yeon grabbed her and me and started dragging her behind her.
“No! If you go wrong, you die!”
The monster was coming towards us. As we braced ourselves and tried to walk away, the monster roared again. With a dizzying sensation as if the whole body was being stabbed with needles, the vision was once again ruined. The sight in front of my eyes became pitch-black, then it shone in muddy, colorful colors. My ears were deaf and I couldn’t see.
The monster was approaching again. The hem of the cloak fluttered.
Seong Ha-yeon Hunter was also swearing at her while sitting on the floor. I saw the Diamond Club hunters enter the guild and lock the door. Hunter Lee Jun-hyuk drew attention by throwing a thunder sword from a distance.
“Look this way! This way!”
But the monster didn’t seem to have any intention of letting us go. The hem of the cloak fluttered and came towards us. I tried to escape somehow, leading my weak body. The shadows are gone A huge figure was looking down at us. We met eyes in despair. Ichie came into my arms. I hugged her as hard as I could. At the same time, Seong Ha-yeon Hunter also hugged me.
She had her eyes tightly closed.
Is it really over like this? Since he couldn’t concentrate, he couldn’t even communicate with the Almighty. I heard a faint shouting sound, but I couldn’t even read it.
We just waited for death, curled up like cowards.
“Uh?”
The pain never came. The monster’s body stopped with a sharp rupture. As if it had been cut with a razor blade, the monster was cut in two and disintegrated.
“Are you okay? I’m here to help.”
A voice was heard from the sky.
Hunter Lee Hyeonu was coming down smiling.
