66 – Mir-1
“Did you say you were busy again from today?”
“Yes, because I need to help with the temple or something.”
Ha-yeon said in a very friendly and soft tone.
It’s been like this since last night, will it go back to normal soon?
“Looks like you two had a great night last night.”
Wol-ha glared at Ha-yeon, but Ha-yeon just laughed lightly and ignored it.
“You know it’s my turn next, right?”
“Let’s do it later…”
It was physically difficult, but also physically impossible. I decided to stay in a nearby city, at least until the temple was in progress.
‘Did you say the name of the city is Mir?’
I think it’s a pretty name, but it felt a bit awkward for a city name.
Of course, it’s much better than our nameless city.
“Then let’s leave soon. The guild leader will wait for you.”
There were only three people to help Lee Soo-ah with the temple, Ha-yeon, Yeon-ha, and me, but the first time we went to Mir, we decided to go to the guild leader together.
Personally, I think the possibility is low, but Lee Soo-ah could have set a trap. How do you know if he suddenly realized that foreign powers can’t intervene and suddenly joined hands with the ruler of the city?
“Please be careful. I know the driver is not someone who will get hurt anywhere, but please don’t step out.”
“Come. I’ll be back.”
As soon as he felt Ha-yeon’s hand on his back, he moved to the previous cave.
“You’re here? Let’s move quickly. I’m busy.”
“You haven’t convinced any of the guild members, have you?”
“Because it was impulsive, aside from being dogmatic, there are many people who say that it will be difficult to manage because the distance from Mir is too far, but it could waste energy and not benefit.”
“You only need to kill the ruler. After all, we are the ones with the most available S-class Awakeners, so we won’t move recklessly.”
“I guess so.”
The guild leader stood up from the rock where he was sitting and approached Ha-yeon with a slight tilt of his head.
“Hey, why is your face so fresh today?”
“What am I?”
“And, unusually, the tone is less severe… Has anything pleasant happened?”
“Didn’t you have something like that?”
“Look, you still talk like a girl. Where is the usual serious Ha-yeon?”
Did you get that tea?
I thought the tension was moderately high…
“I don’t have time right now, so I’ll skip it, but when I have time later, I’ll definitely hear what’s going on, so I’m prepared.”
“Because it’s really nothing…”
“Anyways let’s move!!”
Ha-yeon grabbed my body at the mediation of my younger sister.
“Sister? Me?”
“Go with the guild leader.”
As soon as he said that, his vision changed to a forest made of demon trees.
“Are you going around the Great Forest?”
“No. When I heard the position yesterday, I thought I could go in a straight line. It brushes the center a little, but it doesn’t go all the way to the center again.”
Once again, the view changed. Probably because it was near the center, monsters that looked like B-ranks were living in groups.
‘It’s bloody.’
“You may have to be a bit careful next time you move. The monsters are all clustered in the center, but there’s one kid who goes out on a picnic from time to time.”
“How do you know that?”
“I’ve done my research.”
Once again, the view changed.
Certainly the center is the center, or monsters that look like class A are sparsely wandering around… they weren’t.
“Ah, it’s here today.”
What should I express?
Yes, it was a monster.
It seemed that the height alone exceeded several tens of meters, and the length of the body seemed to easily exceed a hundred meters.
The overall look reminded me of a cow, but I was too cool to be a hermit.
At first glance, huge muscles were located all over the body, and the outer skin was also on a different level than that of a cow.
There was something about his outer leather that was made of metal here and there that stimulated men’s romance.
“It’s been a long time.”
However, there was one thing that was disappointing, and one of the horns, which were supposed to be two, was cut off.
It was obvious that the right and left horns would grow big, but the right horn was cut perfectly as if it had been cut with a ruler.
“Do you know me?”
“Because investigations into the Great Forest are conducted periodically. It is an S-class monster that is believed to have been alive for decades, but when the investigation first began, its horns were already cut off. Perhaps because of that, it is often pushed out of the center and wanders around. “
“Aha, by the way, if you’re in the S rank, can’t you notice it too?”
“You might notice, but the high-ranking monsters living in the center of the great forest usually won’t move unless you touch them first. The kids get lazy because they don’t have top predators…”
“Um… I think it looks like it’s about to attack?”
The unicorn scratched the floor with its heeled feet.
The horse trees, which had grown quite strong, were pulled out in just a few strokes.
‘Is it because of the mood? Why do you think you’re looking at me?’
“He seems to be in a bad mood today. Jjapi doesn’t peck at me because it’s annoying when I move space.”
Once again, the view changed.
“What if I follow you all the way here?”
“What should I do? I just have to do an assari and catch it. After a big fight over there, the monsters in the center of the forest are stimulated as a group and can’t move, but they dare to come out to the outskirts like this? , I’ll catch it soon.”
“Looks like you’re coming?”
A large cloud of dust could be seen in the distance.
The impact was so great that the demon trees that hit it were crumbling and soared up into the sky.
“It’s too central here, so I’ll move somewhere else.”
Once again, the view changed, and only relatively weak monsters were seen as if they had moved to the outskirts of the great forest.
It doesn’t seem to be a familiar geography, so it seems to be outside our city, not near.
“It’s annoying if you fight near Mir and attract attention. I came to another place. Maybe the guild leader will come soon.”
“Okay, I’ve just arrived.”
The guild leader was very excited.
If you ask specifically, it’s sweet! Would you say it’s an expression of feeling? It was a look full of happiness.
“You’re a one-headed guy, how dare you get out of the center? Did you not notice my presence?”
“I don’t think that’s the case? Monsters also have a fairly wide range of detection. Look, they’re already approaching this way.”
I could see the dust rising in the distance.
The scary thing is that the size of the dust wind is growing really fast? It took less than a minute to grow from a tiny size to a level that can be discerned with the naked eye.
“Didn’t I say I was busy? No matter how hard two people try to catch one, it would take several hours.”
“Is it a big deal right now? The delicious food comes into our mouths by itself, so we have to chew it deliciously.”
“Younger, you are protecting your older brother.”
“Yes! Sister.”
My younger sister grabbed me and ran to the other side. I turned my head to look behind me, and before I knew it, I was close enough to see his body…
-bang!!!!
As soon as I thought, I collided with Hayeon.
The difference in mass must have been overwhelming, but Ha-yeon didn’t appear to be greatly shocked, except for being pushed back by several tens of meters while holding onto a single horn.
Rather, all the demon trees around them were pulled out by the shock.
If I hadn’t been holding on to her, I would have flown with her.
“Unlike that big guy, he’s not a body type.”
“…With that body?”
“There are no purely physical monsters at level S. All of them use magic to strengthen their bodies. One-horned monsters are slightly less efficient there. Instead, their physical abilities when not using magic belong to a fairly high level. “
Yep, thank you for the explanation.
But he seems to keep looking this way?
“Where are you selling your eyes?”
There was a large scar on the face of the one-horn.
The size of the face seemed to be over 20 meters long, but it was quite spectacular to see that huge face cut open.
The blood had stopped, as if it had been regenerated quickly.
“A battle between S-ranks is usually a battle of attrition. One side cannot completely overpower it. They fight while consuming each other’s mana and authority, and the side that runs out first loses.”
This time, a huge fire erupted from the one-horned leg.
The temperature was so high that the heat reached this place hundreds of meters away.
“How long does it usually take to catch one?”
“Well? I don’t know because there is no record of catching an S-class monster, but the guild leader and Hayeon unnie said that in a day or so, no matter who loses, a decision will be made.”
Haru… But since there are two of them, you can catch it right away, right?
-Thump thump thump!!
But I feel something vibrate…
The view changed along with the feeling of being pulled from behind.
“Why do you keep aiming for my brother?”
“Isn’t it because I’m the weakest here? I’m going to kill you first because I’m easy.”
“My brother is so weak that he can’t even get in the way in the first place.”
-So uh uh uh uh !!!!
The one-horned man looked this way again with a huge cry.
“Did you say Suhyeon? Older brother Ha-yeon, can I ask you something? If you help me a little, I think we can save a lot of time.”
“Yes… do whatever you want.”
why did i say help
