The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood C.102:

‘What should I do?’

I still don’t fully understand the human body structure. That’s why I’m even more afraid. I couldn’t classify the serious condition that Kang Changho was in right in front of me.

‘Surely this Earthling wouldn’t die from something like this!’

I was taken aback by the other person’s loss of consciousness and began to move hurriedly. To be precise, it was an attempt to pull the S-class out of the wreckage.

.

However, as you know… The power of an F-class hunter was no more than that of a passing grasshopper.

‘Heeeup!’

It’s truly maddening and frustrating.

I can’t push it away. I can’t lift it either. How is an F-class person like me supposed to remove that heavy rock?

‘This is how the Earthlings ended up helping me…’

While there are no visible injuries right now, it seems that heavy debris has been pressing on the chest, as the opponent’s breathing has been shallow since earlier.

‘Isn’t this really turning into a serious situation?’

I was frightened by Kang Changho’s shallow breathing and tried every means possible. I even attempted to pull him out from under the debris myself.

“Keeeuggh!”

But even the last attempt had no effect at all. No matter how much I pulled on his protruding arm, Kang Changho didn’t even move.

“Please get out…!”

In the end, I screamed loudly and exerted all my strength.

“Get out of here!!” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

But there’s no way an F-Class would suddenly get stronger just by showing some fighting spirit.

Heuk, heuk.

I stood there with my foot on the stone that was crushing Changho, catching my breath. Damn it, this isn’t going to work with ordinary methods.

‘Should I dig into the ground to create some space…’

Boom!

It was then, I suddenly raised my head when I heard the loud noise again. Come to think of it, I had been so focused on Kang Changho that I had momentarily forgotten that we were in the heart of a city caught in a Dungeon Break.

‘Damn it! Where else did it collapse?’

Fortunately, this noise doesn’t seem to have anything to do with where I’m standing…

-Click!

I can’t just ignore this.

The sound of a camera shutter means there’s another Earthling nearby.

‘Huh?’

But just now, didn’t that sound a bit… too close?

I turned my gaze quickly towards the shutter noise coming from the left. There, I saw several surprised faces of Earthlings.

“What’s going on?”

“Was there a fight?”

“Heuk! There’s someone down there.”

Murmur.

They seemed like regular citizens evacuating, all non-awakened individuals.

‘What are you all doing instead of running away?’

For some reason, they glanced in this direction with a hesitant look. Moreover, among them, there was one person who muttered something in an inaudible voice and held up his cell phone.

So I listened for a moment to hear what they were saying…

-Tak! Tak!

“Aaaah!”

“Tsk, it’s coming here too!”

“Run!”

The noise that followed stopped my action. This was none other than the sound of footsteps announcing the appearance of a new monster.

‘This…!’

What appeared this time were small turtles summoned by the big turtles. However, despite their small size, they couldn’t afford to let their guard down. That’s because they were B-Class creatures.

I quickly ran away to avoid the small turtles.

‘Sorry!’

It might seem like I left Kang Changho on the road, but in these circumstances, there was no other choice. After all, those who are alive must survive, right?

“H, heuk…”

A moment later, I leaned against the alley wall, catching my breath after avoiding the small turtles. It’s like tasting death. What good is a speed-enhancing magical item if I’m out of breath? My stamina is in terrible shape.

‘Phew, really…’

Anyway, after catching my breath, I immediately took out my phone. Kang Changho, who had lost consciousness, would still be lying there at the intersection.

“I, I should at least make a report…!”

I decided to inform the emergency responders here about Kang Changho’s situation.

“Hello? Is this 119?”

Fortunately, despite the chaos in the city, I managed to make contact successfully. The operator on the other end listened to my report and assured me that emergency responders would be dispatched to Kang Chang-ho’s location. The issue, however, was the time it would take for them to arrive.

“Yes? Are you saying we’ll have to wait because there’s a backlog of reports?”

But it was okay up to this point. Except for Imoogi, all the missing bosses were B-Class or lower.

‘Phew.’

In the current situation, the probability of Kang Changho, an S-Class hunter, receiving damage from monsters was extremely low. In the end, he just needs to keep an eye on the black snake.

‘Then should I start heading back to where Changho is?’

Whoo.

I recovered my stamina to be ready to run again at any moment and set off. However, I still had my phone in hand.

There’s still some work left to do with this thing.

‘Let’s wait and see. Come to think of it, Esther was definitely shown on the screen earlier…’

Tuk, tuk, tuk.

I moved my fingers to access the familiar website.

[(Live Broadcast) ‘Inevitable Malice’ Hunting Scene!]

Eventually, what appeared on the screen was a broadcast of this disaster situation.

‘Oh!’

Thinking I should gather information, especially in such chaotic times, I promptly checked the live broadcast without hesitation.

‘Where would Esther be fighting right now?’

However, the scene contained in that video…

– Keuuggh!

– CEO!

– Ahh! What should we do!

– Everyone, don’t touch the head area! The head!

A petite woman was caught in the jaws of a massive serpent, as if inside a cave. She was holding the serpent’s mouth open with her arms to prevent it from closing, but her resistance wouldn’t last long. Esther’s arms began to tremble violently, as if she were reaching her limit.

– No, this is… Haha, hahaha!

The curse wizard on the screen, face flushed red, let out a laugh of disbelief.

-It won’t work!

And with that remark, the snake’s fangs pierced straight into her abdomen.

Sssk!

I’m an alien, so I don’t know for sure, but this broadcast seems a bit strange.

Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.

“Aha.”

When I checked later, I found out that the video I had just seen was not an official broadcast, but a civilian’s personal broadcast. That’s why it showed everything, including the graphic scenes of blood.

Well, that’s not important anyway. This video ultimately means one thing.

‘The S-class hunter lost…?’

Shockingly, Esther suffered a crushing defeat in the battle against Imoogi.

***

[Currently, with S-Class Hunter Esther leading, supported by six high-ranking Hunters equipped with curse immunity gear, they are confronting the threat of the Imoogi. Therefore, local residents are advised to take caution and avoid getting caught in the Awakener’s skills…]

Around the time the announcer’s calm report played on TV, the hunters out on the field were literally fighting for their lives with the monster.

“Where on earth is its weakness exactly?”

“Burn it with fire! I think that’s the fastest response!”

“Hey, this was completely Jung Haseong’s?!”

Whoosh!

From blazing flames to striking lightning bolts, the skills that the hunters unleashed to kill the Inevitable Malic creatures were flashy enough to brighten up the area. However, out of all the attempts, this was definitely the hunter who caused the most damage to the enemy.

“Hmm, if we do this well, we might finish before Jung Haseong even arrives, huh?”

Korea’s S-class hunter, Seo Esther. Her awakening ability boasted truly terrifying power. The Imoogi that had been exposed to her opponent’s curse had already looked tattered.

“Grrr…”

Blood and pus all over the body and rotting eyes. As they looked at the monster that had suffered considerable damage, they thought that perhaps they could really put an end to this situation on their own.

Just for a moment.

“Shaaaaa!”

“Huh?”

However, the Imoogi, which had been suppressed using all sorts of items, suddenly raised its head and went wild. And the reason is that it wants to devour the new prey it has chosen.

“Ack!”

“No!”

The hunter, who had a mark on his head, eventually gave in to the snake’s persistent attacks. It means that it was swallowed by its wide open mouth.

“No…!”

It would have been better to just ignore the sacrifice of just one person. In a way, this was Esther’s downfall because she went to extreme lengths to save her swallowed guild members.

Srrrng.

Esther took out the [Cursed Sword], a unique item she had brought with her just in case, and paid generously for it. And with this sharpened blade, she took action.

“Heuk!”

“Hurry, hold my hand and come out!”

Slash!

Esther jumped into the beast’s maw and forced its closed mouth open. And she rescued the guild members inside.

“Ugh!”

However, as mentioned earlier, this was a significant mistake on Esther’s part. She lacked physical strength compared to body improvement experts like Kang Changho.

‘No, you crazy snake!’

Tang!

The Imoogi, despite its mouth being halfway torn, doesn’t care and closes its jaws again. As a result of the reaction, Esther was caught in the mouth.

This was the struggle that had been shown earlier on Y-Tube through live broadcast.

“Ugh!”

Also, Esther, who sacrificed a large amount of magical power to her sword to save people, had no chance of winning. And what they found was the expected result.

Krrrk.

She couldn’t overcome the monster’s fierce strength and ended up pierced through.

“CEO!”

“Ahh! What should I do!”

Fortunately for her, the Imoogi spit out Esther right away, probably because it didn’t taste good…

“CEO, are you okay?”

Esther was poisoned by an S-class monster and could no longer continue the battle. The first battle ended in defeat.

“Phew, it hurts.”

“Just hold on a little longer! You used the potion, so you’ll be fine soon…!”

“As expected, many beautiful women die young. After all, there is nothing wrong with the old saying.”

“Don’t talk nonsense even in situations like this! Seriously!”

Those who watched the broadcast fell into despair. A figure who could be considered a symbol of the Korean hunter community fell ruthlessly.

[I will tell you the breaking news that just came in. Esther Hunter, the representative of the Korean Magic Tower Guild, is in critical condition while dealing with an S-class monster…]

Citizens thought for a moment after hearing the news.

(Live Chat)

[What’s Jung Haseong ** doing?]

[Does he only come out when the country is in ruins?]

[Save us, please]

The missing top-ranked hunter. If Hunter Jung Haseong had been on the scene, would things have been different by now?

That hunter has typically made significant contributions in large-scale disasters like this. No matter how much the opponent is recovering, it is inevitable to have expectations.

[Well, it is said that monsters are weak to fire, so where on earth is Hunter Jung Haseong and what is he doing now?]

However, the truth is that even the top-ranked Hunter had already sprung into action quite some time ago. As everyone expected, Jung Haseong wasted no time in accepting the Association’s summons and chose to head straight to Seoul.

[According to the Association, it’s estimated that it will take about 15 minutes for Jung Haseong to arrive at the scene.]

Jung Haseong was also doing his best. However, there was an absolute problem with the long distance.

‘15 minutes?’

15 minutes is enough time for the Inevitable Malice action to destroy several buildings. Moreover, doesn’t that monster have the ability to prey on living beings and grow stronger?

“15 minutes is a joke? Damn it, this is why those primitive magicians who can’t even use teleportation magic properly are useless!”

Kiryeo put down her phone and looked up nervously.

‘Oh my, my head. Since Esther has taken care of everything, all that’s left is for someone to put the finishing touches on it, like adding a spoon to the table…’

It’s a regrettable situation. As seen in the live broadcast, Imoogi is currently in critical condition, near death. However, Kiryeo predicted that over the next 15 minutes, that monster could grow close to a complete metamorphosis. Moreover, the progress path is not very good. Imoogi is gradually approaching the intersection where Kang Changho is. Delaying time will inevitably worsen the situation.

‘Yeah. This is really a situation where it just needs that final touch…’

Feeling frustrated, Kiryeo suddenly had an idea.

‘Uhm?’

Come to think of it, there might actually be a way to kill Imoogi right away.

‘Death from suffocation.’

It’s a bit cruel, but no matter how high the grade, in the end, it’s still a living thing. It breathes.

Therefore, gathering a large number of animal corpses using his main magic, Golem Manipulation…

If he stuffs them tightly into its mouth.

‘Will it die?’

There is a possibility. Imoogi’s movements have significantly slowed down due to the battle with Esther, and because of its massive size, targeting its breathing holes should be relatively easier.

“Hmm.”

And right now… It seems like there’s plenty of materials around to use.
