Episode 217
Too doo doo doo.
Of course, the fastest among Glory Guild’s six teams was Team Leader Jeong Soo-min.
As an S ranker and knight type, he took the lead with a significant difference from other team members.
‘shit… … . ‘It’s too late.’
However, Su-min Jeong was blaming herself for her slow judgment of the situation.
Now that I look at it, there are more than one strange thing.
First, a monster appeared in the middle of Seoul, but there was no gate visible anywhere in the sky.
In addition, all three teams were destroyed by just one monster.
It was something he had never experienced before during his life as a hunter.
In my opinion, the difference in power between Team 3 and Team 6 to which I belong was not large.
This means that even the team you join cannot guarantee its survival.
Although it was a bit late, Su-min Jeong was able to draw the following conclusion.
Team 6 alone, or even Glory Guild alone, may not be able to resolve this situation.
Bang bang bang!!!
I can feel the roar getting louder.
It seemed like there was a guy not far away.
Team leader Jeong Soo-min put his finger on the device and radioed to the assistant team leader.
– Request support. It may be difficult for us alone.
-As for support… … . Are you talking about another team?
The assistant team leader’s breathing sounded quite heavy, as if he was running with all his might.
-You idiot. Are we the only ones on emergency standby today? As for other guild members, only those who want to come will come.
-Then where do I get support… … .
-It’s there. These guys are messing with the concept of jurisdiction!
-Change the taffy… … .
The assistant team leader, who had been inadvertently copying Jeong Soo-min’s words, asked in a louder voice.
-Are you talking about Irregular?
-Then, is there anywhere else you can ask for support? Contact me right away.
The assistant team leader did not respond immediately.
Since Gu Geon’s death, and even before that, the Irregulars led by Cheon Hae-seon have been nothing short of a public enemy of the Glory Guild.
Perhaps, if Goo Geon was alive, he would have died and would not have asked the Irregular for help.
But the dead don’t speak.
The assistant team leader left a slight trace of concern before answering Jeong Soo-min.
-I will ask you right now.
-good. Since everyone is there, I’ll join right away.
-yes.
Now, even without the impact sound, I could clearly tell.
Because the ominous energy emitted by the monster was spreading in all directions.
‘I won’t pretend not to know what they said.’
The right to operate in any area.
In other words, it’s like saying that everyone can ask for help.
This is something that a traditional Glory Guild would never have done.
However, Jeong Soo-min’s combat experience told him that it was the best.
“Stop!”
The monster in question finally appeared in his field of vision.
Jeong Soo-min jumped in front of the monster with a loud shout.
* * *
“pretty… … .”
Those were Maria’s first words when she saw Kang Jeong-hyeon.
A large golden plant was growing on his shoulder.
Nope.
A legendary plant that grows only in the spirit world was created in Kang Jeong-hyeon’s body.
Needless to say, it was mouth-watering how miraculous it was and how much value it would have in the upcoming battle against the demons.
The Irregular members who visited the scene each had great hopes in their hearts.
Except for one mindless person.
“It’s so bright, this thing. “If it’s dark at night, you can call him.”
“… … .”
Even the gentle Yuk Cheol-wan was speechless at this point and could not say much.
Instead, he expressed gratitude to the two men who had been taking care of Kang Jeong-hyeon all along.
“CEO Do Isu. Dr. Jin. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Then Doisu raised both arms and waved his hands.
“You’re welcome. All I did was stay by Dr. Jin’s side and chat with him. “The achievements of this research belong solely to Dr. Jin.”
Doisu spoke humbly, but everyone knew about the Irregular members.
The person who supported both financially and spiritually to make that research possible was CEO Do Isu.
Dr. Jin also gave credit to others rather than boasting about his own achievements.
“It’s all because this child accepted new plants without difficulty. Especially in the case of the Anima you see now, there was only one sample, so the probability of success was very slim. “If even the slightest rejection had occurred, the result would not have been the same as now.”
Was it shameful to talk about this and that around oneself?
Kang Jeong-hyeon scratched his head with sleepy eyes.

“however… … .”
Chen, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke.
“Is anima really that big? “What we brought was probably no bigger than a handful.”
As Chen said, the plant that sprouted from Kang Jeong-hyeon’s shoulder was too big to be called a ‘flower’.
The peak reached the ceiling of the laboratory, so it looked at least like a tree used in landscaping.
Dr. Jin nodded as if he agreed with Chen’s words.
“That’s right. Chen. This is a great achievement that even we could not have expected. It seems that a specific ingredient in Jeonghyeon’s body is what caused the anima to grow to this level. “It’s truly amazing.”
Dr. Jin’s analysis was generally correct.
However, the difference is that what created the anima was not ‘material’ but rather ‘spirit’ fused with the anima.
“Hehe. I’m sure Haeseon will be very happy if she comes, right? That kid gets crazy whenever he sees yellow light these days. “When did you say you would arrive?”
Chen answered briefly.
“today. “I will arrive at the airport in a few hours.”
“I already see a face I’m going to like. “I heard you like gold more than jewelers these days?”
– Kuwang.
As if in complete agreement, Pori stretched out her belly and roared above Bisu’s red hair.
While Bi-soo was talking about Cheon Hae-seon, an emergency siren suddenly sounded inside the laboratory.
Why?
“Ah, what a surprise. Why is it ringing all of a sudden?”
Bisu covered his ears and frowned slightly.
However, the expressions on the rest of the Irregular members were much worse than that.
This is because, unlike Bisu, who quickly forgets the sound, he remembers the conditions under which the ‘siren’ sounds.
“It’s nice that you have such an easy-going personality.”
“Hey, Chen. Are you kidding me? “I may be slow to turn my head, but I’m quick to notice, right?”
“I’m proud.”
After lightly avoiding Bisu’s hand trying to pull the ponytail, Chen asked Doisu.
“Is it a monster or a demon?”
“!”
Bisu’s face hardened at Chen’s question.
It was only later that I remembered the meaning of the siren.
horsepower.
The lab here was set up to sound an alarm as soon as the magic wave was detected.
Umbrella Industries, led by Doisu, now had a much more advanced system than the wavelength meter managed by the association.
In addition, since it has entered into a strategic partnership with ‘Guntech’ led by Bu-seong, it has become a company that is more advanced than any other company in the world in terms of scientific power.
The alarm system that went off just now was also part of that.
“Neither.”
Doisu confirmed the report over the radio and answered in a heavy voice.
“It is said that a chimera has appeared near Bangbae-dong.”
“… … !!”
It was such a serious issue that no one could easily open their mouth.
Fortunately, Chen calmly assessed the current situation.
“It’s not the worst, but it’s not the best either.”
“Uh, what should I do? I don’t even have Haeseon now… … !!”
Bisu asked belatedly with an anxious expression.
Not only her, but all the hunters waited for Yuk Cheol-wan to open his mouth.
When Cheon Hae-seon was absent, Irregular tended to follow the opinion of Yuk Cheol-wan, who had a lot of experience.
“hmm… … .”
Yuk Cheol-wan, who had suddenly made an important decision, sighed softly.
“Bangbae-dong is under the jurisdiction of the Glory Guild. “It would be fortunate if we suppressed it early, but there is a high probability that we will not.”
Most of the members had the same thought.
There are still many high-rank tiers in the Glory Guild, but Chimera has the power to beat most S-rankers.
“One or two decent teams won’t be able to stop it. “I guess we should go.”
“Eh? we?”
Bisu twisted his mouth as if he didn’t feel like it.
“Haeseon hasn’t come back yet. Isn’t it dangerous? Just us?”
It was just what Bisu had said earlier, and the rest of the hunters were also keenly feeling Cheon Hae-seon’s absence.
Monsters with magical powers are impervious to ether.
Therefore, even Sylia, who was a transcendent level hunter, had a hard time slaying a single monster.
Yuk Cheol-wan also knew that fact better than anyone else.
But perhaps, if Cheon Hae-seon had existed, he would have said this.
“If you don’t have teeth, you’ll have to use your gums.”
“… … !”
“If we just wait until Hunter comes back, the damage will increase like a mountain. Even as I speak like this… … .”
People are dying.
Yuk Cheol-wan’s next words were predictable enough without having to say them.
“Grunt.”
Kang Jeong-hyeon got off the chair and put on slippers.
“Where are my shoes? “I think I should go out quickly.”
“Jeonghyun.”
Kang Jeong-hyeon, who had just finished the experiment, seemed to be concerned, so Maria called him.
However, Kang Jeong-hyeon had the brightest face among the Irregulars.
“I’m fine. “I also know that the battle will be much more difficult without me.”
What Kang Jeong-hyeon said was true.
Now that the general ether does not work, it is no exaggeration to say that the anima summoned by Kang Jeong-hyeon is in fact the only hope.
“but… … “You haven’t even used Anima in actual combat yet.”
“It will be possible. “We had a conversation.”
“conversation?”
Kang Jeong-hyeon left the lab without answering, saying he would change his clothes.
“… … Somehow he seems to be getting more and more strange. “Who was the kid who was sleeping in the lab talking to?”
Chen responded calmly to Bisu, who was making a sullen expression.
“No matter how unusual I am, I can’t surpass you.”
“… … “Isn’t that a compliment?”
Instead of answering the question, Chen looked around at the members and said something meaningful.
“I think the youngest one has the strongest mentality.”
The Irregular members smiled bitterly at Chen’s words.
As he said, the person who showed the most hesitation at this moment was Kang Jeong-hyeon.
He seemed more unwavering than Yuk Cheol-wan, who had said he wanted to go deal with the chimera.
“Iknow, right. “I feel a little embarrassed.”
Maria checked her device and left the lab for the second time.
“I wish you luck.”
As they took their steps one by one, Dr. Jin said hello to Chen.
“… … .”
Chen stopped for a moment and looked at Dr. Jin.
Recently, Dr. Jin’s eyes had darker circles than before.
It’s not just because of Kang Jeong-hyeon’s research.
The ‘homework’ assigned by Cheon Hae-seon took away most of his rest time.
And now, the result of that homework was on Chen’s shoulders.
sparkle.
Even though it is inside the scabbard, its unique, colorful light occasionally leaks out.
It is not at the level of coating part of the blade like before.
The new knife Chen received was entirely made of pranium.
It didn’t even need a separate name like the previous ‘bossum’.
Because the meaning can be fully conveyed just by adding materials and shapes.
‘Pranium Sword’.
It could truly be called the masterpiece of Dr. Jin’s life.
The Pracell that Cheon Hae-seon wore on his wrist was a masterpiece, but the Pranium Sword possessed technological capabilities that surpassed even that.
-rain… … .
The small resonance coming from the scabbard was by no means an auditory hallucination.
For the first time in his life, Chen folded his waist in half and bowed his head deeply.
“I’ll be back.”
That was the best greeting Chen could give.
Dr. Jin smiled happily at Chen.
It was exactly similar to the smile that appeared when dealing with Cheon Hae-seon and Kang Jeong-hyeon.
“Go back.”
