Episode 106
Bu Ji-seong had a dream that day.
I had a dream where a scientist I had often seen since I was young was lying on the street, drunk.
Bae Jeong-dae’s maternal uncle was a man who always praised him, saying, ‘He is the person who will become our future.’
A man with neatly combed hair and brown horn-rimmed glasses.
However, that night, Oh Jin-su, who seemed like a gentleman, was completely devastated.
“Huh… … . Hehehe… … .”
Oh Jin-su continued to cry bitterly, wondering why he was so sad.
My hair, which was always neat, was a mess, and I couldn’t see where my horn-rimmed glasses had gone.
After sobbing for a while, he suddenly grabbed Bu-seong’s small shoulder and spoke as if he was making a promise.
“The best weapon… … I’ll make it for you… … That will continue His will… … Because it’s the only way… … .”
From that day on, Jinsu Oh became ‘family’.
Isn’t family a relationship that has been close since childhood and is connected by blood?
However, my father and uncle Bae Jeong-dae called Uncle Oh Jin-su their new family.
I don’t know what happened, but it was a happy thing for Bu-seong.
Oh Jin-su has been giving me strange things as gifts for a long time.
At first, I was given a soap bubble toy that glowed in five colors, and as I got older, I was given an AI machine to be used for training.
And when he took the hunter qualification exam, he was presented with his greatest masterpiece.
[This is called palmarĭum. I hope we can become good friends.]
Palmarium was more than just a good friend, it became the wings of wealth.
He was in danger of dying countless times while traveling through dungeons above 7 stars, but each time Palmarium saved him from danger.
When piercing the golem’s heart, it became the sharpest spear in the world, and when blocking the high orc’s fireball, it became the strongest shield.
There was nothing to be afraid of as long as I had Palmarium by my side.
Ask Cheon Hae-seon and Gu Geon to come out.
Anyone who has this shattered Palmarium… … .
‘Eh?’
Parts of the Palmarium can be seen falling into pieces in Bujiseong’s field of vision.
How on earth can Oh Jin-soo’s masterpiece not beat even a bracelet?
Floating parts float in the air as if in slow motion.
What kind of object is that… … !
Bu Bu-seong tried his best to stretch out his arms, but the movements were ridiculously slow.
The thing that was like my wings and alter ego was broken and scattered in vain.
“No, no!”
Bu-seong jumped up with a desperate cry.
“uh… … ?”
I was in such a deep sleep that I couldn’t understand the sight before my eyes.
Only after blinking and shaking his head several times did he realize that he was in the middle of a battle.
“Oops!”
Bu Ji-seong belatedly opens his eyes and searches for Cheon Hae-seon.
However, all he could see was the staff making noises and the audience cheering loudly.
“WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“Hey Busiseong! “Did you have a good dream?”
“I don’t know anything about the world, just my nose! “Do you come to your senses now?”
‘You snored?’
Bu Ji-seong felt dizzy.
Like the opponents he had defeated before, Cheon Hae-seon seemed to have used his psychic abilities to put himself to sleep.
But no matter what, it’s still like that.
Are you saying he snored and fell asleep instead of fighting?
Bu-seong’s ugly face turned bright red.
‘It’s an unbearable shame to even show your back on the battlefield, but to lie down on the floor of the sparring hall and fall asleep… … .’
Bu Ji-seong closed his eyes tightly in unbearable shame.
Thinking of my father, my uncle, and Uncle Woo Jin-su, who must have been watching this scene, I felt like I wanted to find a mouse hole.
Clap clap clap clap clap.
however.
Contrary to Bu Ji-seong’s expectations, warm applause began to be heard.
Although Cheon Hae-seon’s attack was allowed at the end, the battle up to that point was nothing short of excellent.
It was a combination that was pleasing to the eyes and greatly satisfied the viewers’ five senses.
“It was amazing!”
“It was worth paying the expensive ticket price to come here!”
“Try to win next time!”
“… … .”
The outpouring of encouragement brought tears to Bu-seong’s eyes.
These reactions were exactly what Bu-seong had longed for.
I and ‘Guntech’ are strong.
Enough to protect your future.
Even though he couldn’t catch the person he was aiming for, Bu Bu-seong somehow felt relieved.
If I had lost by a narrow margin, I would have shed tears and regretted it.
However, Bu Bu-seong had fully realized it.

The current Cheon Hae-seon is not in a state where he can do anything.
‘He was like a monster… … .’
They say there is another sky above the sky.
He is an absurdly strong child.
While this side did their best, Cheon Hae-seon did not give his all.
Even the field of science and technology that ‘GunTech’ boasted was defeated.
‘I thought the color was bright, but… … .’
The bracelet that Cheon Hae-seon was wearing.
The device that shone with brilliance was ultimately something that could not be made with ordinary technology.
There is only one material that can be inferred to have that level of durability.
However, processing ‘that material’ into a device was as difficult as picking a star from the sky.
Didn’t even Mr. Oh Jin-su stick his tongue out and express his disapproval?
Moreover, it is close to impossible to dig up that much of the raw material, ‘that substance’.
How did you obtain that material, and who was the person who processed it?
‘It feels more and more interesting.’
Cheon Hae-seon.
And that bracelet.
Even though the battle was already over, Bu Bu-seong felt intense curiosity about those two things.
* * *
“Telum!!!”
Hahahahaha.
Hundreds of fiery arrows are shot toward one point.
My body would be torn apart by the sharpness of the ether, or melted by the intense heat.
The ‘telum’ of Ga Yeol-chan, the head of the ‘Bishop’ guild, has obliterated the target in some way.
one.
Quagwagwagwang!
“Damn it… … .”
Ga Yeol-chan mutters as if chewing.
Again.
It didn’t work again.
All the skills he used turn out to be ineffective, like a lie.
Gugeon’s ultimate defense skill.
‘Wailing Wall’
Yeol-chan was completely fed up with that absolute defensive power.
Even the final secret technique, ‘telum’, which Yeol-chan used with gritted teeth, could not even burn Gugeon’s hair.
His bald head was already flooded with sweat.
On the other hand, Goo Geon showed no signs of fatigue even though he continued to unfold the ‘wailing wall’.
‘What kind of harmony of ghosts is this? … .’
I knew well that Gugeon’s shield was strong.
Although he is an esper who can do a lot of fighting, he has never defeated Goo Geon in the past.
But has it ever been applied so one-sidedly?
Ga Yeol-chan and Gu Geon-i fought a total of three times in the last ranking match.
Gu Geon was the winner every time, but he also had no choice but to suffer big and small damage.
one.
There has never been a time when I couldn’t burn even a single sleeve like I did now.
“… … .”
Gu Geon was still unfolding the ‘Wail of Wailing’ with a sad expression on his face.
Ga Yeol-chan had to feel humiliated by the sight of him not seeming to have put in much effort.
I thought he was an equal rival in his own way, but was I mistaken?
‘no… … . ‘It’s not like that.’
Even though Yeol-chan was sweating heavily, he did not stop thinking.
I am not weak.
The opponent just got stronger.
but.
How on earth?
It is impossible for an ‘S’ ranker to grow in skill overnight.
In nearly 20 years of being a hunter, I have only seen that kind of growth once.
Cheon Hae-seon.
Cheon Hae-seon was the only ‘unusual person’ that Ga Yeol-chan witnessed.
But what does Gu Geon look like now?
The gap, which I thought was only a span of space, had widened to a level that I could not reach no matter how much I stretched out my hand.
“Hwaaaap!”
I couldn’t admit it.
I was trying to promote the ‘Bishop Guild’ into the metropolitan area by playing an active part in this ranking match.
If we lose this helplessly, not only expansion but also the maintenance of the existing Gyeongnam region will be at risk.
Ga Yeol-chan used all his strength to cast the ‘telum’ skill.
-Wow!
The crowd erupts in exclamation at the volume of arrows, which are twice as many as before.
“Go!!”
Hahahahaha.
Ga Yeol-chan cried out loudly and fell to his knees.
An esper whose telekinesis power has run out is no different from an ordinary person.
If this technique works, you win, and if it blocks, you lose.
At that moment, two figures appeared in Ga Yeol-chan’s field of vision.
The sight of Gu Geon taking back the ‘Wail of Wailing’ that had spread wide from side to side.
And his eyes flashed purple for a moment.
Gugeon, who was watching the fire arrows pouring down, suddenly opened his mouth.
-Kyaaagh!!!
Is this really a human voice?
No, what was truly shocking was what happened next.
Burbububbang!!
The ‘telums’ that were flying quickly exploded all at once.
“!!!!!”
Did you say that if you’re too surprised, you can’t even hear your voice?
Ga Yeol-chan closed his bloodshot eyes tightly and opened them.
With the expectation that I might have seen something in vain.
“Hmm.”
I’m sorry, but it wasn’t.
The ‘Wailing Wall’ has disappeared, but Gu Geon still looks the same as before.
Just by firing an intangible energy from his mouth, he completely defeated ‘Telum’, which can be said to be Gayeolchan’s ultimate skill.
“I’m crying… … !”
It was a final blow that even twisted the energy inside the body.
Ga Yeol-chan must have been so angry at the humiliating result that he vomited a handful of blood.
A total mess that can’t even operate basic ether.
Ga Yeol-chan couldn’t bear to look at Gu Geon’s face.
When I looked at his healthy appearance, it seemed like he would lose his will to fight forever.
“The winner this time is Hunter Gugeon!!”
“and… … . “I’m really sick of it, I’m sick of it.”
“Was Goo Geon that strong?” … ?”
“Why does my heart keep feeling tight…?” … .”
It was the same semifinal, but the atmosphere was completely opposite.
While Cheon Hae-seon and Bu-seong ignited the hearts of the audience, Goo Geon-i spread suffocating pressure everywhere.
A discordant atmosphere that is not suitable for a festival.
Goo Geon strode across the middle of that heterogeneous stage.
* * *
If it were like before, I would have felt quite a sense of accomplishment.
Ye Yeol-chan is one of the top three Espers in the country, and he has had a hard time winning every time he’s faced with one.
But now?
It is nothing more than a tool to ‘measure’ the changes that have occurred in oneself.
‘There was no need to use the Wailing Wall…? … .’
Even he himself cannot properly measure his own strength.
That was the current situation.
Boom boom.
He walked quickly to the waiting room, just like when he left the sparring hall.
Cheon Hae-seon was on the other side, and the eliminated contestants have no reason to come back here.
Therefore, Gu Geon was the only one in this space.
Snapping.
Goo Geon, who is alone, makes a terrible sound.
The sound of teeth grinding was so loud that it filled the waiting room.
What causes disassembly and sharpening of teeth?
Gugeon couldn’t help but grind his teeth and curled up his huge body.
His large body continues to tremble slightly.
Gu Geon is not angry now.
It’s just that it’s hard to bear.
‘I want to eat.’
Because there was so much he wanted to eat, he had no choice but to come down from the studio in a hurry.
human.
What he was craving now was human flesh.
How Yoo Ji-won, who became a chimera, longed for meat.
That process is also seeping into Goo Geon.
So far it hasn’t been much of a problem.
Because whenever he used his abilities, he was completely alone.
But today things were different.
A lot of people gathered to watch the ranking match, and the smell of their flesh constantly stimulated Gugeon’s desire.
So much so that I had to force myself to find an isolated space.
“Seed… … foot… … .”
The killing intent and appetite I experienced for the first time in my life.
Gu Geon desperately suppressed his own desires.
Did he want to protect his dignity as a human being?
No, it’s not even a matter of getting rid of one or two people.
Gu Geon just wanted to maintain it.
Until the time when Cheon Hae-seon confronts that f*cking bastard.
“ugh… … Ugh… … .”
I bite my lip until it bleeds, but I can’t suppress my appetite.
If someone enters the waiting room like this, Goo Geon will chew off his flesh like crazy.
please.
If you don’t want to be left behind, don’t come in here.
But unfortunately, his wish did not come true.
Sweet.
The unfortunate victim, whose throat was about to be ripped out, stepped into the waiting room.
Gu Geon felt like he was going to lose his temper at any moment due to the faint smell of flesh.
However, Googeon’s purple-colored pupils shake greatly.
This is because the person who came into the waiting room was a very, very familiar person.
“nine… … CEO?”
The person reflected in Gugeon’s pupil was none other than Maria.
