Chapter 170 – Faruelaine (6)
At that time, researchers from the French and Korean associations were arranging data at the research center. The foreigner who was looking around explained the materials he had brought in a very careful and low voice. The data he brought were ‘enhancement agents’ or strengthening equipment that extracted the energy of the fragments of the Almighty to create new extracts, or strengthened the person itself using the strengthening principle of the fragments of the Almighty. And it consisted of detection equipment to find fragments of the new Almighty.
The researcher was in awe of the new data brought by the French. It was a technology that had already been invented 10 years ago in France, but it was like a new world for researchers who did not share the original technology or such equipment.
“Amazing.”
The researcher felt he had been given a gift he never thought of. What they expected from foreigners was that they did not have such a vast amount of data. Just testing the enhanced equipment, it seemed that time would not be enough. If we seek advice based on data and develop technology through this, we could achieve tremendous results.
It was a good opportunity to receive sponsorship from other S-class Hunters or Hunters who wanted fragments of the Almighty, as the research institute always suffered from financial difficulties even if it was sponsored by [Paradise]. The researcher said with a smile.
“It sounds really great. How do you come up with so many different materials…”
The Frenchman shook his head with a sullen face. He said.
“At one point I was one of the developers of these devices. I stepped down in the middle of the research process, before completing the equipment. Since these devices are early prototypes, there are many problems in actual use.”
“Still, it’s amazing. In particular, strengthening equipment that applies the strengthening principle of this fragment of the Almighty will be of great help in training the hunters.”
The French nodded and said.
“Yes. We had to dissect and destroy a few fragments in order to make the reinforcements. Then, by chance, we were able to figure out what this used to be.”
“In the past?”
The researcher listened to the Frenchman’s words. The Frenchman’s face hardened. He seemed to be in pain even thinking about what he was about to say.
“After I learned what this fragment was, I withdrew from this research. We didn’t even know how many more shards we needed to consume to develop the equipment. Are you curious?”
In the Frenchman’s hand was a small note. When I opened the notebook, it was full of French words written in grotesque handwriting. The researcher squinted to read the contents, but he couldn’t tell. It seemed like they needed someone who could speak French.
The researcher passed the note to another researcher. While taking pictures of notes and preparing for translation, the researcher asked.
“What is the fragment of the Almighty? Why have you kept your identity a secret until now?”
The French stared at the researcher. He sighed heavily and nodded his head.
“Not one person.”
“Yes?”
And at that moment, glass shards rose from the first floor with a roar. The thin, pebble-like pieces reflected the sunlight like water droplets on broken waves. Feeling the sudden vibration, both the Frenchman and the researcher shrank. The Frenchman was startled and tried to crawl under the desk, and the researcher pressed the emergency bell.
The three lovers in the dormitory also heard a roar. Ichie pulled out a sword from under the bed with a sound, and Kim Yoo-jung ran to the storage room. As her Holiness Yeon tried to get up, Ichie sat her down and said,
“Baby.”
“No… !”
She tried to say something Seong Ha-yeon said, but Ichie frowned at her and shook her head. She nodded her head with a sullen look, then rubbed her stomach and sat down.
The moment Suhyeon, who had been sitting idly by her last question, was startled by the roar, Yeonju Choi stood up and was holding Jeongsuhyeon’s shoulders. Choi Yeon-joo lightly pressed the ballpoint pen in her hand, and her ballpoint pen stretched like cheese, before it turned into a solid pole.
She held the cup on her desk with her other hand. The cup distorted and turned into a stylish shield. Choi Yeon-joo threw all of her equipment at Jung Soo-hyeon, then she said.
“Can we fight?”
“Ah yes.”
Jeong Su-hyeon, unable to organize his confused thoughts, nodded his head in a daze. As soon as he nodded her head, Yeonju Choi quickly ran out.
******
Haha!”
The windows were shattered with the sound of Choi Soon-hong’s laughter. Upon arriving at the Frenchman’s location, Choi Yeon-joo confirmed that he was safe, and then she looked down. Choi Sun-hong chuckled and threw down one of the hunters in Paradise. He looked straight at Choi Yeon-joo and said.
“Choi Yeonjoo! Choi Yeon-joo, you bitch! Am I still being ridiculous!”
Yeonju Choi frowned. The appearance of the Black Dragon Ark was very different from before. Her hair, which was always neatly tied, was scattered, and the beard that grew on her face was indistinct like her goblin’s. Her eyes were shining like an animal, and her blood vessels were bulging through her undressed top.
The muscles all over her body were like demons.
“Yes.”
Yeonju Choi nodded her head in a firm tone. She came down in front of Choi Sun-hong. The other hunters in [Paradise] Quietly stepped back, and Choi Yeon-joo’s hand turned into a heavy lump of iron.
“Die!”
Choi Soon-Hong, her target seemed to be Choi Yeon-Ju this time too. Choi Yeon-ju was startled by her momentum, much sharper than before, and turned her body. Drops of blood ooze out from the capital that barely passed Choi Yeon-ju’s cheek. Choi Yeon-ju’s hand changed its shape on its own, and one of his guns rose at an angle toward Choi Soon-hong’s stomach.
Before Choi Soon-Hong, who turned his head with his arms outstretched, could react, his muzzle roared and spewed fire.
“Oooh!”
The body of Choi Soon-hong, who had been hit by a shotgun bullet, came to mind for a moment. And at the same time, a strong light emanated from the hand of one of the hunters in Paradise who had retreated. Choi Soon-hong frowned at her and hesitated.
Taking advantage of the moment he blocked his view, Choi Yeon-joo’s fist turned into a hard form and flew into it. Choi Sun-Hong, who was hit in the face by a heavy blow, fell to the ground as if on an icy road.
As Choi Yeon-ju took a step behind her, shaking her hand, a solid black line appeared in the place where she had stepped back. In her fright, she turned her body around, her hunter’s body floating in the air from which she had just emitted light. Choi Soon-hong, who blew away one of the annoying hunters, reached Yeon-joo Choi before the hit hunter hit the floor again.
It was an embarrassing speed indeed. As Choi Yeon-ju rolled her body and transformed, Choi Sun-hong’s fist struck Choi Yeon-ju.
Choi Yeon-joo’s entire body twisted as if she had been punched into slime, and bounced off the wall opposite her. Choi Yeon-ju, who had bounced several times in her parking lot, stood up again. Choi Sun-Hong raised his head and tried to fly himself to the second floor where the French would be.
“No!”
The bright red trail struck Choi Soon-Hong like that.
“Ugh!”
The trajectory hit by Choi Soon-Hong’s body was unable to burst and collapsed, but he frowned at the sudden attack.
“Ark!”
Choi Soon-Hong hesitated for a moment at the voice. And in that short gap, from the other side, Kim Yoo-jung hit the side of Choi Soon-hong with the gauntlet. She was hard as if she had hit an iron plate, so her blows didn’t go in properly, but Kim Yoo-jung gritted her teeth and pulled her trigger.
The gauntlet she brought with her now was not the weakened version of her that she used to wear. It was a reinforced gauntlet used only when catching A-class monsters, and it was a terrifying equipment that used manastone as power, and originally had a level of power that was difficult for the body to withstand the recoil.
Soonhong Choi read the gauntlet’s trademark and distorted his face.
Bang!
With a roar, Kim Yoo-jung’s body also bounced back like a bomb. Soonhong Choi rolled her eyes and screamed.
“Uh oh oh oh!”
Kim Yoo-jung groaned as if she was going to fall off, holding her aching arm. She, who should have been pinned against the wall, was safe thanks to Choi Yeon-joo who caught her before she knew it. Choi Yeon-ju frowned and said.
“You have to be careful. Even a B-class hunter can get hurt if used incorrectly.”
“I didn’t know it would be that strong. I just brought it because it was in the warehouse.”
At Choi Yeon-joo’s reprimand, Kim Yoo-jung nodded her head and collapsed on her floor. In one hit, the stamina consumption was too severe.
“Aaaaa!”
Choi Soon-Hong stirred the smoke with her hand. There was a large bruise on his side. In the middle of the bruise, his skin was peeling and bleeding.
He picked up the stone, clutching his side. Choi Yeon-ju stopped in front of Kim Yoo-jung, fearing he would throw a stone, and Choi Sun-hong shook her head and threw a stone at her window.
“Uh?”
The stone that flew with the power of an S-class hunter tore the special tempered glass that blocks sniper bullets like paper. And at the same time, a man who was checking conditions on a branch in the mountain range pulled his trigger.
The bullet flew, bending like a mountain bird, and entered precisely through the gap in the window, aiming for the head of the Frenchman who was protruding from the desk.
The French heard a sound like a flute blowing.
“No!”
And the bullet was blocked by Jung Soo-hyeon’s shield and ricocheted in the other direction. His shoulders flinched slightly, but there was no blow to Jeong Su-hyeon. The bullet wriggled while remaining embedded in the wall, then lost power and fell to the floor. Hiding the Frenchman behind himself, who did not understand what had happened, Jeong Su-hyeon put his shield in front.
In the distance, I saw a twinkling light. Soo-Hyun shouted.
“Sniper! Snipers in the west!”
Hearing that, Ichie waved his hand once and he ran towards the forest. Jeong Su-hyeon shouted while summoning Misaki.
“Misaki! Cover with reason!”
Choi Soon-hong clicked her tongue. She reached S rank, but things weren’t going the way she thought.
