Chapter 237 – The Black Dragon Was Flying (5)
The black dragon was flying.
The sight of a huge black dragon flying vertically was as if the world had been split in half by a black ink line. The monsters that were rushing towards us were swept away into the air like the sea rising up in a tornado, and the gate, which had been wide open as if to destroy the world, was shrinking little by little.
I definitely saw the black dragon. I saw a man who had been turned into a sinner slam his gate with all his might. However, it was also a miracle that would disappear into the dark side of history without ever remaining a bad story.
Who would believe the story that the black dragon that soared through the sky on that gloomy day was Choi Sun-hong, a terrorist from the black dragon ark who was ‘deathed’? If the guild members of [Ground Zero] Insisted that, who would believe it? It was an act of tarnishing the honor of a person who had already died, and it was just another shackle to the guild that was barely escaping from the stigma of being a terrorist.
Perhaps, one day, a world where this story can be solved might come.
Until then, I had to keep my mouth shut. Like the sky that opened up my scars as if nothing had happened, like the black dragon that exploded and disappeared across the sky. I had to remain silent.
“Keep it off!”
Blood poured from the mouth of S-class hunter Lee Hyeon-woo. I felt that voice signaled that the fight was over. As if to prove that there were no monsters to come out of the gate, only bloodstains remained in front of the black traces of destruction. I could barely get myself up. I held the spear upside down with the strength that had returned, and looked around with my eyes open.
Far away, Hunters were coming. All of them were running towards us with exhausted and weary faces. Those who witnessed the miracle right in front of them looked at the closing gate with bewildered faces.
I looked up at the sky. The traces of the black dragon still remained as black traces. The gate was closing, and Lee Hyun-woo was lying on the floor. Lee Hyun-woo, who had narrowed his eyes and shivered, looked around and shook his head. He didn’t seem to believe his dreams were fading away.
“I don’t need a hero like you.”
I told him Was Lee Hyun-woo even listening to me? He stretched out his hand once toward the sky and then dropped his peek head again. The hunters looked around and found Lee Hyun-woo, who had fallen belatedly.
“No, isn’t it Lee Hyeon-woo? Hyunwoo Lee, right?”
“Did Hunter take care of this? What’s your name?”
I felt my mind go berserk in the gap between the hunters’ urgent questions. Every time I blinked, my vision blurred, and strong pressure came on my exhausted body. The sky was dyed pitch black. I lost my mind feeling the echoes of the hunters’ questions.
*****
When I came back to my senses, many things were taking their place in the chaos. Lee Hyun-woo, who was an S-class hunter, was known as a rare terrorist and a madman, and gave a great shock to the people who had to face the sudden gate incident.
There were people who couldn’t believe that he, who had been working hard to build an image with the title of [Cheonma], Did such a thing, and spread conspiracy theories saying that the government was lying. However, the hunters who participated in the capture operation and operation at the time brought out an excellent number of evidence proving the close relationship between Lee Hyun-woo and Park Seong-jin, and the controversy ended when Park Seong-jin admitted that he had a cooperative relationship with Lee Hyun-woo.
Park Seong-jin stood at the interview with a very tired and pale expression for a person who bravely opened her gate. Her resigned expression was very impressive, and I felt like someone who had lost all hope in her life.
All the technicians who worked with Lee Hyun-woo were caught and are currently on trial, and these technicians complained of injustice, claiming that they had been ‘threatened’. Of course, the public’s evaluation of this was cold.
Nami and Robin provided us with the crucial information at the end, and since they didn’t actually get involved in anything bad besides monitoring work, we decided to look after them. I heard that he went to Japan with Noboru, and I decided to believe that he would live well there.
They say you live the life of a ‘real man’. You will be happy
He said that [Ground Zero] Had a new member. It was said that it was a member who returned from [Amazing], But I couldn’t remember who it was. To the extent of becoming a scout in [Amazing], I wondered if the prestige of the guild had risen that much.
And i
“Jung Soo-hyun! Just one interview please!”
“Please get out! Because we, Suhyeon, are patients!”
“Jung Soo-hyun! Please explain the battle process with Lee Hyun-woo in more detail! How the hell did you defeat Lee Hyeon-woo!”
As the person who won the last fight against Lee Hyun-woo, he became the biggest beneficiary of this incident. I explained the incident as lowly as possible. Too much popularity was because there was no benefit in my life at all. I already had a guild, I loved many women, and the income was good.
“Get out! Get out!”
Bang!
The door closed with a loud noise. Senior Yoojeong was looking at me with a smiling face. I was lying on the sick bed and eating an apple that Ichie sliced. Seong Ha-yeon did not come today. Because I was pregnant, there was nothing good about being in the scene where reporters came. Right now, there was a text message on my cell phone with a cute emoticon saying that I would visit the hospital next time.
There were bandages all over my body. The doctor said it wasn’t such a serious injury, but I was worried when Ichie and Yujeong seniors all bandaged up.
Senior Yu-jeong said as she sat back in her chair.
“Really, why are people so persistent?”
“They must have thought that I had defeated Lee Hyeon-woo using some extraordinary method.”
Ichie said this to me.
“Still, it’s true that the S-rank won in Suh-hyeon. Water phenomenon. How do you feel about winning S-class?”
“I don’t feel good or anything like that. To be honest, the title of a man who defeated an S-class hunter is a bit burdensome.”
It was actually very burdensome. Right before an article titled [Su-hyun, the man who beat S-class!] Came out, I felt good, but people started to believe that I was incredibly strong, claiming that I was an S-class strongman and that I was actually hiding my strength. It was to the point of being scared.
So, in the first interview after the situation was sorted out, he said, ‘I cowardly stabbed Lee Hyun-woo from behind, who was dying’, but the suspicion still persisted. It was because the place where Lee Hyeon-woo fell was literally smashed as if it had been bombed.
Senior Yoojung asked.
“So, how did you actually win?”
“How did you win? I managed to win by working together with Almighty Emperor. She was about to die An S-class hunter is a S-class hunter even if it is half a corpse.”
“Was it that dangerous?”
“Yes. It was dangerous.”
“But you didn’t say a word to us?”
I tried to soothe her sweating as her senior Yu-jeong said that with her sullen expression.
“No, senior. He’s a spatial ability, so he and Misaki switched locations, right? She didn’t want to see Ichierang-senpai get hurt.”
Senior Yoojung seemed to just want to see me in trouble. When I quickly excused myself, she smiled and covered my cheek. I casually took her in one of her hands and hugged her.
“I know. It’s because I’m worried.”
“Supremacy. Hug me too.”
Ichie, who was eating her apple with a fork, put her plate of apples on her table and lunged at me. I hugged her tightly. She asked Ichie while rubbing my chest.
“By the way, the water phenomenon. I caught an S-class hunter, but is there any reward?”
“A reward?”
I looked at the text on my status bar.
[You have defeated an overwhelmingly higher grade than yourself! Ignore the promotion conditions and upgrade to B grade!]
What did you think when you first saw this phrase? Rather than thinking that I had a windfall, I thought that I had been screwed first. If you kill a hunter who is ‘overwhelmingly’ higher than yourself, you will be promoted. If this story spreads, what kind of confusion will come to the world?
Was there really no case of killing a hunter who was overwhelmingly higher than himself? Could there be a reason why this story has not spread so far?
The content of the discussion with Almighty Emperor as soon as he first woke up in the hospital room was also about this phrase. After much thought, it occurred to me that if I spread this story, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. This was a secret that couldn’t be told to Ichiena, Yujeong seniors, and Seong Hayeon. So I said with a smile.
“Have you had anything? It’s a dying hunter, so I guess I just hit it with one monster.”
I was also planning to hide the fact that I had been promoted to Class B for the time being. Even if you live in C class for about a year and get promoted to B class, it will be in the news that it is a super-fast promotion. Peace has come to the world, but it seems that my troubles are still not over. I turned on my cell phone and checked the internet newspaper to check today’s news.
