Episode 138
“Hey!”
Rainwater rises high into the sky from the plants created by Kang Jeong-hyeon.
This scene reminds me of the trampoline I used to play with as a child.
Burning red hair flutters mercilessly, and cheerful cheers keep coming out.
“Kyaat!”
It is truly a cheerful and energetic sight.
Unless this place is the ‘Stairs of Hell’ dungeon.
“… … hey.”
Chen, who was watching silently, approaches Kang Jeong-hyeon.
“yes? “Hunter.”
At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be much of an age difference.
One side speaks informally, and the other side uses polite language in a derogatory manner.
Depending on how you think about it, it was quite a strange sight, but neither of them seemed to care about that.
“Is it okay to be peaceful like this? Your leader is now… … .”
“ah… … . “It looks like you’re worried about Hunter Cheon Hae-seon.”
When Kang Jeong-hyun smiles kindly, Chen’s eyes narrow.
“Who cares about whom? It’s because they don’t have a good strategy. Although we were able to break through the second floor with just you and the strength of that big guy over there, the difficulty of this place rises sharply every time you advance one floor at a time. “It’s definitely not a place that can be conquered with just one hunter.”
“… … “It looks like everyone is worried.”
“I said no!”
As Chen rolls his eyes, Kang Jeong-hyeon sneers and takes a step back.
‘It’s also fierce… … .’
Should I say I’m glad I didn’t draw my sword?
Kang Jeong-hyeon chuckled as he thought about that.
‘Smile?’
Chen was dumbfounded by Kang Jeong-hyun’s reaction.
It’s not just Kang Jeong-hyun.
The red-haired madwoman (…) leisurely riding ‘Bangbangi’, as well as the big man who believed in and followed Cheon Hae-seon more than anyone else, were also having a leisurely time.
Even, I knew ‘Seongmo’ before I met ‘Irregular’.
Maria found a place with plenty of sunlight and was sleeping(!).
Is this really an action that can be taken without putting the leader at risk?
“Hunter will be fine. So don’t worry too much.”
The word ‘worry’ was quite annoying, but Chen focused elsewhere.
“I really trust Cheon Hae-seon. “To the point where it goes too far.”
“uh… … . “Half of it is true, half of it is not.”
“Not even half… … Are you saying you only half believe in Cheon Hae-seon?”
“ah. haha. It’s not like that… … .”
Kang Jeong-hyeon stops talking and looks at Yuk Cheol-wan’s eyes.
Chen couldn’t understand that it meant ‘Can I speak within an appropriate range?’
“Of course, there is a part of me that believes in Hunter Cheon Hae-seon. Hunter has never once broken a promise he made to us. “Of all the monsters he said he would personally defeat, there was none that he could not defeat.”
“and?”
This was quite important to Chen.
I had been silently following Lee Sa-soon’s orders, but this time, it was difficult to understand their true meaning.
Blindly follow the ‘Irregular’ and attack the ‘Stairs of Hell’.
I don’t know what kind of harmony occurred along the way, but even WHPO did not complain about his joining the Irregular.
Considering that Lee Sa-sun was not very close to WHPO, it could be said to be a very unusual situation.
Chen has no way of knowing that it is simply Cheon Hae-seon’s frog (…….).
So he was confused.
Why did you come here?
And if Cheon Hae-seon dies, what actions will he take after that?
“The other half… … “It’s because of Hunter Cheon Hae-seon’s characteristics.”
“characteristic?”
“yes. Hunter’s healing power is so strong that he is immune to almost all poisons. “You can think of him as a hunter who specializes in poison monsters.”
Multi-ability person.
I already knew that Cheon Hae-seon possessed excellent combat abilities in addition to healing abilities.
While playing against him, for the first time in a long time, I thought, ‘I could lose.’
But is it possible to be immune to all poisons just because you have strong healing abilities?
As far as Chen knew, there was no such healer.
But on the other hand, his knowledge itself was not that broad.
‘That could be… … me.’
Although he wasn’t completely convinced, Chen decided to stop thinking.
We will find out soon enough whether their convictions are valid or not.
“Well, but… … .”
“?”
“Can you show me one more time?”
“what.”
“That knife. I saw earlier that the knife was turning bluish… … . “I heard it’s not even a device for hunters.”
Although he hesitated, Kang Jeong-hyeon’s eyes were shining brightly.

He seemed to quite admire Chen’s fighting style.
“Do you want me to show you my sword skills?”
“yes. It’s so amazing… … .”
Chen almost burst out laughing.
Does this guy have no idea how to self-objectify?
Which ability is more rare, your own sword skills or Kang Jeong-hyeon’s botanical painting?
If you stop at a hundred people walking down the street and ask them, all of them will choose Kang Jeong-hyeon.
He summons all kinds of killing plants from one armless shoulder, but he can’t help but wonder at the ‘sword energy’.
“I don’t draw my sword when I’m not in combat.”
“I heard you picked it a while ago… … .”
“… … .”
What Kang Jeong-hyeon said was true.
Perhaps he was bored while waiting for Cheon Hae-seon, and Bisu became interested in Chen’s identity again, and eventually couldn’t bear it any longer and asked the following question.
‘Chen!! When you look at something small, do you sit or stand?!’
Chop!
Chen, who heard the question, pulled out his sword as if he had been waiting, and the three remaining hunters managed to stop him and prevent the devastation.
However, Bisu provoked Chen by saying, ‘You didn’t even ask directly?!’
“Kyahahaha!”
And then, riding Bangbangi with such a bright face.
For a moment, murder appeared in Chen’s furious eyes, and Kang Jeong-hyeon had to take a step back once more.
“If it’s difficult, I’ll see you later when we fight.”
“… … no. “What is this?”
Chen obediently took out his sword.
It was a gentle movement, not with the force of cutting someone like before.
To be honest, I am already indebted to the hunters here in one way or another.
When conquering the first floor, I received the madwoman’s ‘buff’, so strictly speaking, it is difficult to say that I broke through alone.
Not to mention the second floor, where no one even lifted a finger.
Although it is not as bad as rainwater, no one would want to soak in that dirty running water.
Here, I was able to move around comfortably thanks to the unique hunter named Kang Jeong-hyeon in front of me.
Ugh.
“Oh oh… … !”
As a bluish energy forms on Chen’s blade, Kang Jeong-hyeon bursts out in exclamation.
For someone who is passive in expressing his emotions to show this level of response was close to ‘high praise’.
Chen activated his sword energy and slowly swung his sword.
It was the ‘geommu’ that even Cheon Hae-seon was embarrassed because it was difficult to read the movements.
Because it was not an actual battle, he swung roughly, but Kang Jeong-hyeon watched the entire scene as if he was in a trance.
“Hey you bastard!”
at that time.
Bisu, who was playing on Bangbangi, gets scared and runs towards us.
“… … ?”
Bisu suddenly approaches and blocks Kang Jeong-hyeon’s path.
“Ugh! really! Can’t you break the habit of pulling out your sword at any time? “The child is still young and may not be able to distinguish between right and wrong!”
“What are you talking about?”
“You just did the sword dance again. “Didn’t you mean to cut me because Jeonghyun asked ‘that question’?”
Chen and Kang Jeong-hyeon looked at each other at Bisu’s words.
we?
Kang Jeong-hyeon burst into laughter, saying ‘push’, and for the first time, something resembling a smile spread across Chen’s lips.
Of course, that was clearly a mockery.
“I don’t know you all yet, but I know who the most unreasonable people are.”
Chen pointed the tip of his sword at the beauty in front of him, and the beauty flinched for a moment before losing her temper.
“what! “Is that me?”
“Well, the eyes only see something. “This guy didn’t ask me rude questions.”
“That’s right, sister. “I asked for it because I wanted to see Geomgi so much.”
“ah… … . what. Was it something like that? Me again.”
Bisu opened his eyes round and then roughly scratched the top of his head.
To Chen, the sight felt quite unique.
‘It’s a style that has no end. ‘I saw that he just accepted it and moved on.’
How many people are there who don’t admit it or get angry even though they made a wrong decision?
At least Bisu didn’t seem to be that kind of person.
“by the way… … You guys have become really close?”
“… … what?”
“That’s right. I thought he only pulled out his sword to cut it in half, but he let Jeonghyeon watch it too. And I heard you called Jeonghyeon ‘friend’ earlier?”
Did I do that?
Chen momentarily thought back on his remarks.
It is true that we feel a little closer to each other than when we first met.
Jeonghyun Kang.
Not the madwoman in front of you.
“If possible, why don’t you show me that flea gum or something? “I find that more interesting.”
“… … “It’s not a flea sword, it’s a thunderbolt sword.”
“Well, it’s roughly similar. Hahaha.”
Should I draw my sword again here?
While Chen was thinking about this, Maria came to their side.
“oh. sister. “Did you wake up because of me?”
“I was just about to wake up.”
Maria smiles softly and smoothes Bisu’s matted hair.
Although both of them had looks that could be called ‘exquisite people’, their styles were truly polar opposites.
Maria’s joining The Irregular was quite impressive news for Chen as well.
Although other hunters didn’t even hear her name, she was one of the best healers not only in Korea but around the world.
How could it be that there was a saying going around that even if you don’t know ‘Glory Guild’, you know ‘Maria’?
‘any… … I think I know.’
Among the countries participating in the World Hunter Forum, the only group that is not a guild.
Additionally, a special type of team that includes an outstanding healer named Maria.
Although Chen had never joined a guild, he felt that he might not feel this sense of bond in other guilds.
Bond.
It was something Chen had never felt in his life.
Even now while working in ‘Five Siders’.
“I also have one question.”
Surprisingly, it looks like Maria is about to ask a question.
Depending on the content of the question, a flea sword or even a thunderbolt sword may be activated.
Bisu and Kang Jeonghyeon swallowed their saliva and watched her words.
“what?”
“Where did you learn swordsmanship? “It’s very different from the methods of regular hunters.”
As long as the question is not rude.
And if it is not something that is difficult to answer.
Simply put, when you don’t have to take out the knife.
In cases like these, Chen tells everything honestly.
“I learned it from my father.”
“also… … . “It didn’t seem like a skill learned at an academy or a typical guild training center.”
“Instead, I had to undergo hellish training from a young age. “In a place without electricity.”
Then the eyes of the remaining three people turn to Kang Jeong-hyeon at the same time.
“… … ?”
Kang Jeong-hyeon smiled funny, and Chen couldn’t help but ask the reason.
“There are some aspects of you that are quite similar to me.”
Kang Jeong-hyun slowly told the story of his cruel history, which he had only shared with the Irregular, and Chen had to feel two things.
Sameness.
And embarrassed.
“You wrinkled in front of the chrysalis.”
His training was also a series of pain every day.
However, when she heard the story of Kang Jeong-hyeon, who suffered from biological experiments every time she opened her eyes, her training made her feel like a fairy.
“I can not understand. How can you not go crazy when you’re in so much pain? If it were me already… … .”
“Nogari.”
“It would have been Nogari… … what?”
Someone suddenly intervened, causing Chen’s words to go astray.
Chen turned his head with a sullen face.
His eyes opened twice as wide.
“Cheonhaeseon?”
“okay. “I told you to wait here, but I feel a strange sense of betrayal when we gather together like this and peel the fish.”
Although he said that, the corners of Cheon Hae-seon’s mouth were slightly raised.
I felt better seeing the remaining members getting along so well.
Of course, Chen interpreted Cheon Hae-seon’s smile in a different way.
“Seeing as how well you are dressed, I guess it was resolved easily. Either that or I gave up.”
The smile on Cheon Hae-seon’s mouth became slightly darker.
“Do you want to go check it out? “Which one?”
