123 – Prove it, time! (2)
“You are very stubborn. Do you know what it is?”
Daion asked.
I wondered if he had known that he was dealing with the black magician of the Raphael Temple.
“Isn’t it about taking care of the murderer?”
“Half right, half wrong. But I mean, it’s a different class.”
“I will kill whatever it is.”
“Huh, are you going to kill me? I’ll admit to losing. Please return.”
Daion had no intention of giving a mission.
Daion, a foreigner, could see that these friends were hunters without reputation.
Daion glanced at the hunters.
These are young people whose blood hasn’t even gone away.
Youth people who don’t even know what fear is.
There were already several hunters who said they would take care of the work.
They were hunters with quite a reputation.
I trusted them and entrusted them with the work, and they returned as cold corpses.
“I know the passion, but it’s not something you guys can handle.”
Daion was stubborn.
But Hunter did not back down either.
“Then give me a chance to prove my qualifications.”
“Did you say you would prove your qualifications?”
“If you don’t believe us, we will make you believe.”
“Ha, yes.”
Da Ion clicked his tongue.
Especially, Hunter, a fine-looking man, was overconfident in his attitude, whether he had a corner to believe or was full of vain winds.
“You could die from this. No, I will die.”
“I have no intention of dying to someone who massacres civilians.”
Despite Dion’s warning, Hunter’s eyes did not waver.
“What a proud young man.”
Daion said.
He knew he wasn’t going to get the job done anyway, but the young man’s eyes were strangely drawn. He
Knows it’s not, but he’s also heard the odds.
“Hmm….”
“Shouldn’t you give me a chance to show you something?”
Hunter said.
Daion looked into his eyes.
His confidence was still shining bright.
Those hard eyes stimulated unspoken curiosity.
“You are reckless. Let’s pretend to be deceived and give it one chance.”
Daion entrusted them with a task.
To catch the vampires that appear every night.
It was an impossible mission for them.
I liked Hunter’s resolute gaze, but it was a mission I had to break his will and send him back.
‘Even if these friends get mortally wounded by vampires, they can be revived through the scroll.’
But the warlock is different.
That’s why it was a mission.
Daion didn’t have the confidence to bear the guilt when the youth who couldn’t even bloom like this died.

“Can’t you see a little ant on the street?”
Hye-ryeong muttered after leaving the village chief’s house and looking around the village.
All the lights in the town are off.
Besides, I didn’t see a single person on the street.
It’s 10:00 at night now. It was a little late, but it wasn’t so ambitious that no one was there.
“It must be because of the vampire..”
Yeonhee said. Hearing her words, everyone seemed to agree.
“Vampires appear every night in this town, and the ones who crawl out of the house are crazy.”
Hye-ryeong looked around her and spat out.
“What can I do? You have to catch a vampire to proceed with cooperative quests, right?”
Yeonhee said worriedly.
She is very interested in the history of the other world, and she also knows vampires well.
Vampires that only appear in novels.
A bat-human who is active only at night, a vampire who sucks human blood and is parasitic.
During the day, he transforms into an ordinary human being, hiding among people, but
It is known that it changes at night.
“…… Would it be possible for us to catch a vampire?”
Yeonhee was worried.
It deserved it.
Vampires are classified as one of the few vampires in the other world.
It is known that he has devil-like powers, to the extent that there is even a saying that if you run into him on a moonlit night, you should jump out unconditionally.
“Don’t worry. Because I have an idea.”
“A clever idea?”
“Hey, you really don’t intend to fight that monster bastard at night, do you?”
Yeonhee and Hyeryeong reacted differently to Siwoon’s words.
Yoo-seok is silently listening to the conversation.
“Youkai transformation.”
When a fox was suddenly summoned in front of Siwoon, the three of them flinched and stepped back.
“What, what? This?”
“What a surprise! Ah? Cute.”
“It’s a phantom beast.”
The fox glanced over the three with cheeky eyes and looked at Siwoon.
“Where are you?”
“Ilmiho, there is something you need to do.”
“Well, I know, Kang! You’re not the one to call me out without a purpose.”
The fox, seeing the good fortune, tilted his head.
I’ve always hated this owner who bothers me every day and makes me get involved in fights, but he doesn’t seem to hate me that much today.
“Strange? Do you think you look a little better today? It seems that I am not sober right now.”
At the fox’s words, Siwoon swallowed in satisfaction.
‘The enchantment applied to the Fire Dragon’s ring appears to increase intimacy sooner than expected.’
“Ah, cute.”
“Kang?”
The fox glared at Yeon-hee, who crouched down and stroked her hair.
“Kaang! Yes…… “
“Hey, hey! Do not do that.”
Siwoon cut off the fox’s words. Because I can roughly predict what he will say soon.
“Kang? What do you mean not to do?”
“…… Please don’t say those weird words. I’ll give you a mana stone if you listen carefully, so let’s keep our mouths shut for a moment?”
“Well, if you are like that, you should be.”
When the fox grinned and raised the corner of his mouth, Yeon-hee laughed.
“Ah, it’s so cute. How old are you?”
“……….”
The fox managed to lie down on the ground and silently accepted Yeon-hee’s touch as she stroked her fur.
“Can you speak? Amazing. Siwoon. Do you know how to deal with these things now?”
“Well, that’s it….”
“Oh, there is something perverted in that kitty’s eyes.”
“It’s not a kitten, it’s a fox.”
“Anyways, it’s not my style.”
“Your year is not my style either.”
“What, what?”
Hyeryeong looked down at the fox as if it were absurd.
Siwoon put his index finger to his lips and noticed the fox, and the fox closed his mouth.
“Hey, Siwoon Lee. You just insulted me, right?”
“…… He’s a bit weird Sister understands.”
Siwoon immediately summoned Lecras.
Caw!
The crow sat down on Siwoon’s shoulder.
“Look around town and come.”
Caw!
The fox, watching the crow fly away after being instructed, shuddered at him.
“Kang…. That bastard is disgusting just to look at.”
Yeon-hee was surprised by the fox’s words and laughed loudly while Hye-ryeong shook her head.
“I think we need to get to the inn quickly. If you keep wandering around here, you might be attacked by vampires.”
“It should be.”
Heeryeong approached Siwoon.
“Hey. Why did you summon that kitty and crow just now? Are you sure you want to find that vampire right away?”
“Yes. I can think of I’ll look around the town and come back, so everyone grab an inn and go in.”
“…… What?”
“Hey, it’s dangerous. Even if the four of us are together, what are we going to do with the hat!”
“You can just use the scroll as soon as you meet, so everyone is resting.”
Siwoon’s eyes widened as he watched them enter the inn building.
“I found it. Miho Il. Follow me.”
* * *
A night in the dark.
A man is sitting on the roof flapping his wings and chewing on something.
“Two! Terrible taste of blood.”
After tasting all the crow’s blood in his mouth, he spat out the flesh.
In an instant, the man’s red eyes flashed, and then his head swung back to one place.
“Human.”
He stuck out his tongue and laughed like a flesh.
Tak!
Flying in an instant, the man landed on the ground, bent his hand, sharpened the blade of his ugly fingernails, and looked in front of him.
“You are a human with delicious flesh.”
“Kaang!”
The man didn’t even notice the little beast growling at him.
The man staring blankly at him next to him looked very appetizing.
“I like Heoyeon’s skin.”
The man laughed bizarrely. But something was wrong with him.
Even when a human sees me, instead of running away, it’s because his eyes are wide open and he’s looking at me curiously.
“Ilmiho. Smell him and remember him well.”
“Okay.”
Seeing me, you calmly talk to a beast.
You’re a human with a protruding liver.
The man was puzzled, but his body moved first.
His fingernails point to the nape of the delicious-looking man’s neck.
“Stealth.”
Boom! However, his fingernails noisily cut through the empty space of the moonlit night.
“What?”
The man looked around with surprised eyes.
Because that delicious-looking fellow just suddenly disappeared.
One animal after another disappeared.
Kleur!
The man growled, grinding his fangs.
aaa!
Because I missed the guy with the special blood I found after a long time, my booa filled up and let out a scream as I looked into the air.

The next morning.
Siwoon went to Daion.
“Chief. I came because I had a request.”
“Early in the morning? If you are willing to give up, you are welcome.”
“Please summon all the residents of this village at 2:00 noon tomorrow.”
“…… What? Calling the residents? Why?”
Siwoon explained everything to Dion.
“Do you want me to believe that?”
Dion couldn’t believe Siwoon’s words. Then, Siwoon moved his lips on the spot.
“…… Is this the fox?”
Daion asked in surprise as he saw the flashing fox.
“You must listen. That way you can catch him. You only need to use the mayor’s authority once, however. Please do not order the residents to be called forcibly, and threaten to award rewards to all residents. That way, even in such a disturbing situation, all the residents will gather together.”
“…… Her.”
Daion just laughed at the fox with a surprised look.
“What are you looking at! Old nerd…… “
“Sorry. He has a bit of a personality. Please kindly understand.”
Siwoon immediately dismissed the fox and scratched his head.
“…… Did the fox just speak our human language?”
“Yes.”
Dion laughed again.
He has seen many phantom beasts in his 70 years of life.
Among them, there were a few phantoms who could speak human language, but there were some.
But the fox just now was a phantom beast I had never seen before, and it wasn’t an ordinary fox.
“Didn’t you say you were an F-rank hunter?”
“That’s right.”
“But, how can you use phantom beasts like that?”
Daion, not convinced, asked. He also knew
For a hunter to attribute phantom beasts, it is possible to rank C or higher.
“Only Deok has a special class than others.”
“Did you say it was a special class?”
“Yes.”
“…… Come to think of it, hey…….”
It was only then that Dion realized that the sword Shiwoon mounted behind his back and his armor that was strangely emitting light were unusual pieces of equipment.
His eyes are not good due to old age, and yesterday he was distracted, so he couldn’t even look at Siwoon’s equipment.
‘This guy is unusual.’
From noble mtl dot com
“You must listen to my request. This is your only chance to catch the vampire.”
“…… Oh, I see.”
“It must be 2 p.M. Never at night.”
“Wouldn’t it be dangerous? I will arm all the mercenaries living in our village.”
“You don’t have to. Please call all the mercenaries.”
“Hey, is that really possible?”
“I have no intention of repaying the opportunity given to me with disappointment.”
“Oh, I see.”
Dion stared with narrowed eyes at Siwoon’s back as he bowed and walked out the door.
‘Are you good at trusting that friend’s eyes? Maybe not even the warlock…….’
* * *
“Chief. What did you suddenly give me?”
“Rice is not enough! I wonder if you can give me rice….”
Residents gathered in front of the stone statue of the goddess of the moon, which symbolizes the village of Miwol, are watching Dion with anticipation.
“Please wait a moment.”
The residents were buzzing.
It’s a sudden call, but it came out to give something.
However, the appearance of Dai-on, who was resting uncharacteristically, looked unfamiliar.
‘If you’re going to give it to me, give it to me quickly! Why are you hesitating like a village chief?’
‘Is it food? Or money? Aren’t you the type to say anything?’
‘It’s a town I’m leaving anyway, so I’ll have to get one and go.’
‘But who are these people? First time seeing….’
“Are you here?”
Dion’s face, which was clearly nervous, softened with the appearance of Siwoon.
“Let’s get started right away.”
“You mean right now?”
Daion asked with a trembling voice. He swallowed his spit into the nape of his neck.
It was then.
Chalkang!
Siwoon immediately drew his sword.
Seeing the blade raised by the strange man, all the villagers groaned in bewilderment.
The man with the sword opened his mouth.
“From now on, everyone stay where you are. Anyone who leaves will be killed immediately.”
