Episode 35
“The growth is unbelievable. “I feel jealous.”
Oh Ji-ho obediently acknowledged my progress.
Judging from his usual comments, the expression ‘I’m jealous’ was the highest praise.
“haha… … .”
I’m so exhausted that I can’t even laugh out loud.
But it was a truly touching moment.
When I actually started training, I realized that cutting down Oh Ji-ho was as difficult as picking a star from the sky.
It took 2 years for Oh Ji-ho to learn ‘Hwankyeok’.
I also thought that maybe more time would be needed.
However, in just over a month, I was able to cut down the true identity of Oh Ji-ho.
It was a blow that would be more appropriate to describe as grazing rather than cutting, but the attack clearly made contact.
“The movements have also become neat and clutter-free. “It’s hard to believe that he’s the same person he was a month ago.”
Oh Ji-ho’s praise continued.
In the video he sent, fighting is not only fighting, but it is also closely related to full-body control.
The purpose was to eliminate unnecessary movements rather than the power of the technology itself.
There was no formality like other martial arts.
There were only movements that simplified the path to the price range, such as fingertips, elbows, and knees.
Is that why?
The process of developing the attack continued smoothly like water.
Because every single movement was an ‘application’ rather than a ‘form’.
“I felt something while watching the video.”
“?”
“Rather than educating humans, I felt like I was training animals.”
Even Oh Ji-ho, who is extremely blunt, had a faint smile on his face at that moment.
“It has to be that way. “When his father invented this move, he said it was taken from the monster’s fighting style.”
“no wonder… … “I felt a sense of foreignness during training.”
“You realized in just one month what I felt after practicing for two years.”
Oh Ji-ho said he felt jealous, but he seemed more proud than that.
hmm.
Who was it that told the yaksha that he did not want to teach?
“Is there a secret to improving your skills so much in such a short period of time?”
If you’re a fighter, or even a hunter, you can’t help but be curious.
Compared to a month ago, my physical movements and telekinesis have improved dramatically.
I answered by condensing what had happened so far into one word.
“It’s the core.”
It was all thanks to the core that I was able to dramatically improve my telekinesis level and train efficiently.
After catching the 6-star (★★★★★★) monster ‘Singing Harpy’, I discovered telekinesis, and whenever I got tired while training, I absorbed the core like a lunch box to restore my stamina.
After absorbing the core, it wasn’t a big problem even if I didn’t sleep.
Whenever my eyelids became heavy due to exhaustion, I absorbed the core knowledge I had acquired during the training period, and on some days, I devoted myself to training 24 hours a day.
We were able to grow several times faster than others.
It would not be wrong to say that it was only thanks to the core.
“Core… … . Obviously, the current growth cannot be explained using general methods.”
There is no reason or need to explain in detail.
Oh Ji-ho probably didn’t ask the question he was hoping for either.
It must have been pure curiosity about ‘something’ that couldn’t be explained with talent alone.
“Let’s take the training to the next level.”
“Already? “It’s barely scratched the surface.”
“Considering the speed at which you progress, you will get used to it quickly. “Get ready.”
Ready.
What do you prepare?
At that time, the whitish ‘shadow’ standing around him was seen leaping forward.
This guy never moved before I attacked him.
puck.
“Tsk… … !!”
A thrilling sensation penetrates the abdomen.
Oh Ji-ho’s hunter rank is ‘E’, but in the first place, this ‘flashback’ ignores general laws of physics.
Even if the intensity is the same, there is a world of difference between knowing that an attack is coming and preparing for it, and being surprised by a defenseless attack.
Fortunately, my body was at the level of a ‘D’ rank knight, so there were no special aftereffects.
“… … “This is what preparation means.”
Oh Ji-ho, who used to ‘counterattack’ my attacks every time, started to ‘attack first’.
The ‘preparation’ he mentioned simply means ‘preparing to be hit.’
“Don’t think too harshly. “In terms of fighting skills alone, it means that he has already surpassed the guy I saw on the black market.”
A knight whose limbs were shattered by Oh Ji-ho while behaving badly.
‘B’ rank hunter Kim Gwan-tae.
Regardless of his characteristics as a poisoner, Oh Ji-ho saw my level as higher than that.
“That’s an honor.”
I rushed into Oh Ji-ho’s territory with a short answer.

* * *
The training period was over, and I was finally approaching my first dungeon.
A 2-star (★★) poison dungeon located in Ingye-dong.
Permission to enter the dungeon had already been obtained through the ‘Cleanup Clan’, so there were no other procedures required.
Clan leader Yuk Cheol-wan and Cheon Hae-seon.
Today, all(?) members of the ‘Clean Up Clan’ appear in the dungeon.
Soon this dungeon will be shut down under the name of ‘Cleanup Clan’.
“Are you going to go in like this?”
“yes. why?”
“That’s not right. A poison dungeon is a place where dangerous substances are mixed into the air you breathe. Even though Hunter Haeseon Cheon is an ‘S’ ranker, he cannot enter like this.”
It’s not that it’s not, the Yukcheolwan in front of me was heavily armed.
In addition to covering his entire face with a large gas mask, he was also wearing thick gloves and boots on his extremities.
For ordinary hunters who do not have the ability to decipher their own poison dungeon, this is such a scary space.
While we’re talking, shall we check Yuk Cheol-wan’s profile?
<Yukcheolwan / Hunter type: Knight (tank) / Physical grade ‘B’ / Unique characteristic ‘Indomitable’ – Mental power binds the body and pushes it to its limit #Cleanup Clan leader #Gatherer #Dangerous area expert #Warrior who does not fall>
“to?”
what is this.
I thought it would be a very poor rank, but it was a ‘B’, right?
Although there are many high-level rankers among the Knight series, a ‘B’ ranker is still a talent that can play a mid-level role in any guild.
With such talent, why are you working as a ‘janitor’?
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon?”
“ah. no. “For a moment, I saw something in vain.”
“It’s a big deal. The harmful energy leaking from the dungeon entrance is already affecting Cheon Hae-seon’s spirit… … !!”
“Don’t turn a sane person into a crazy person. “Let’s go in now.”
“Are you sure you’re okay with it like this?”
“yes. Even though I’m like this, I’m still an S ranker. “If something goes wrong, I take full responsibility.”
“still… … .”
Yuk Cheol-wan’s pupils swing like a pendulum.
I know what he’s worried about.
Having run through the Poison Dungeon several times, you must have keenly felt its deadly danger.
No matter how resilient a healer is, he or she cannot withstand stacks of poison.
In the Poison Dungeon, you have to activate your healing power every time you take a breath.
However, those things do not affect me at all as I am a ‘poisoner’ before being a ‘healer’.
‘I don’t know if people are affectionate or worried.’
If you say it’s okay, I guess it’s okay.
In the end, I pulled back the iron arm in an appropriate way.
“I already drank a special antidote. Clan leader, would you like to try it too?”
“yes? ah… … no. I am okay.”
“That’s too bad. “I should be able to take off that heavy gas mask and work.”
Although I didn’t take the antidote, it was true that I had it.
The last time I met Bisu, I brought some of her antidotes.
I was prepared because I was worried that Yuk Cheol-wan might have neglected preparations, but seeing him now heavily armed, I wonder if he was worried for no reason.
“How long can that equipment last?”
“About five hours is okay. “What is Cheon Hae-seon’s antidote?”
Originally, it was supposed to be open 24 hours a day, but I’m sure you wouldn’t believe it.
“I’m like that too.”
“great. “Then let’s go in!”
Yuk Cheol-wan clapped his hands a couple of times with his thick gloves and then opened the dungeon entrance door.
‘S Rank Healer’ Cheon Hae-seon’s first cross-dressing has finally begun.
* * *
“Wow… … !!”
As soon as Yuk Cheol-wan passes the entrance, he lets out a groan.
I can’t get used to this poison dungeon no matter how many times I come.
It is said that a gas mask can block the toxicity, but the unique moisture and unpleasant energy put pressure on the entire body.
Entering a space like this without any equipment?
It’s also impossible.
We need to quickly convince Hunter Haeseon Cheon.
Yuk Cheol-wan turns his head and looks toward Cheon Hae-seon.
“Okay… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon also lets out a soft groan.
But that wasn’t because of the atmosphere of the Poison Dungeon.
I just stretched out calmly.
“?????????”
The saying that you can’t believe something even after seeing it probably comes from a time like this.
Cheon Hae-seon behaved like a fish out of water in this disgusting space.
Not only did I stretch my body here and there, but I even took a deep breath(!).
can not believe it.
That kind of thing is not human.
“long time no see.”
Cheon Hae-seon, who was looking around, seems to have discovered something.
He turns his head and looks at Yuk Cheol-wan.
“That thing that the clan leader collects. Where do you usually collect it?”
“hmm… … . Considering the terrain, I think there are a lot of them in the bush area over there.”
“hmm. “I think there are quite a few monsters over there.”
“Is that so… … ?”
You can’t see anything with your own eyes.
But Cheon Hae-seon’s gaze was directed at something exactly.
“It will not be an easy journey.”
Yuk Cheolwan closed his mouth tightly and walked slowly.
What he mainly collects in the Poison Dungeon is minerals.
Minerals that can be obtained mainly from damp floors are composed of special ingredients that cannot be obtained in the real world.
It is used as a research material by scientific organizations, and is also used as a raw material for weapons such as bullets.
Because the toxicity mixed in the mineral is helpful when hunting monsters, it is in high demand among non-combat hunters.
The Poison Dungeon is a space where ‘luck’ is clearly divided.
If there are no monsters in the area where you collect minerals, it is a ‘bad luck’, and if there are a lot of monsters, it is a ‘big bad luck’.
‘Today is a big day… … .’
Yuk Cheol-wan gritted his teeth as he watched the red-brown horses running around the strange purple grass.
Evil horse.
When you think of a horse with a horn, you usually think of a unicorn, but here it has the exact opposite meaning.
Its physical level is around ‘E’, but its mobility is so fast that it is difficult to catch.
A type that dries and kills hunters with various harmful substances that fall from its horns and manes.
They were the opposite of the slow-moving tanker Yuk Cheol-wan.
‘eleven… … twelve… … .’
As the number passed twelve, Yuk Cheol-wan gave up on counting the odd odd numbers.
At this level, it is difficult to work with a group of two.
Wasn’t one of them even a healer?
It’s a permit I worked so hard to obtain, but I can’t believe I have to step down like this.
Yuk Cheolwan opened his mouth with a heavy face.
“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to look at the next opportunity. “Hunter Cheon Hae-seon.”
“… … .”
Was he also discouraged?
There is no easy answer.
No, I can’t even sense his presence.
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon?”
When Yuk Cheol-wan, who felt something strange, turned his head, he had already disappeared.
Like a wild horse running across a field, Cheon Hae-seon was running towards Evil Horse.
“oh my god… … . Hunter Haeseon Cheon!! “Please come back!!”
Why on earth does a healer throw himself into the midst of enemies?
Yuk Cheol-wan hurriedly walks after Cheon Hae-seon.
It is clear that the toxins in the air have turned Cheon Hae-seon into a psychopath.
Yuk Cheol-wan cried out to Cheon Hae-seon with such confidence.
“It’s dangerous!! “Hunter Cheon Hae-seon!!”
Can’t you hear it?
Are you ignoring it?
Cheon Hae-seon’s sprint did not stop.
Cheon Hae-seon has already reached a short distance from the ‘Evil Horses’.
A black blade flashed in his hand.
