Hunter of the Perished World

Vagabond is gone, but Gin and Leona have decided to stay until the rainfall is weaker. Gene didn't know if Baggabond would continue to head for BH or somewhere else. Leona writhes as if to say something, and finally opens her mouth as if to say something.

“I actually... I felt his emotions. “

“You felt it?”

“Yes, something. I feel like I've read his mind. What the hell is this? ”

Leona looks frightened.

“You looked into the wanderer's mind. ”

I didn't say it was possible because it's a witch. Leona bows her head with a gloomy look.

‘Can't actively use force. ’

Lucky or unfortunate, Leona was unable to use her powers properly.

Although they are all powerful monsters, Gene sees them as more powerful than a normal level of Vagabond.

And by being able to take a brief peek into the spirit of a pear-bond-class monster, Leona tells you that her power potential is not that simple.

Above all, it is not negligible to interfere with the spirit of the monster who was human.

Leona hasn't spoken for a while with a depressed look on her face, whether she knows it or not.

“By tomorrow, the rainfall will be weaker. Let's get going then. ”

“Got it.”

Gene purposely changed the subject, and Leona knew it, but she didn't say anything. Vagabond must have left somewhere, and Gene guessed he was headed to the BH.

‘I hope I don't see you again...' ’

However, Gene had a strong feeling that he was going to meet again. Among other things, the hunter, Jean, the Devil Hunter, has always met a monster he doesn't want to face.

The rainfall weakens, and as the wind subsides, the two set out again. Leona flies for days underground, and Jean also speeds up the march a little bit. After the storm, the moisture rose from the ground, but it was more than enough to withstand.

Of course, Leona walked diligently through the stars.

“Mister! Look at this! An umbrella!”

Leona was delighted that the giant leaf of the mutated tree was made like an umbrella and covered with sunlight.

“You're doing all kinds of things.... ”

“Why, that's cool. ”

Leona was excited to carry the giant leaf, but left the leaf approximately thirty minutes later.

“Shit! It's getting heavier! ”

Leona played well on her own, even though Jean didn't react. Walking and playing is a gift that only children of that age have. For some reason, even though it was a long journey, time passed quickly. Within a week of the typhoon, Gin and Leona were able to reach the North of the Korean Peninsula.

Taang!

A red bear is hit in the head with bullets, fearful of a sharp gunshot. One correct foot was enough to defeat the red bear, four times the size of an ordinary bear. Gene got up slowly and put in the M700.

“You must be up a lot now. Haven't seen a roasted and venomous hound in a while. ”

“Are the other monsters coming out now? ”

“A little more dangerous, though. But you don't have to worry about finding it first. ”

The red bear was a fierce beast with red fur that seemed to burn, and dozens of Poisonous Dogs and Ghouls could slaughter it on their own.

Now, of course, while napping in the shade, he was famous for a 7.62mm round of sniper fire. Gene and Leona begin their ascent to the location of the body of the red bear. Of course, powerful monsters spit out more chips. But there was something just as important.

“And that's a pretty tasty monster. ”

“Really? How good is it? ”

“It may look a little nurturing, but it's like ordinary animal meat. ”

“Oh! Awesome! ”

Leona is just as happy to jump. Now that I haven't been to town, I've gotten used to the meat of the corpse hunters. Whether it was ghouls or birds or beasts, eating rotten meat naturally tasted rotten.

“It's even worse because I feel like I'm getting used to it. ”

Leona was becoming even more miserable, as if she wasn't so disgusted after eating it. But after eating the meat well, Leona is fat enough to say that she looks healthy now. I could hear the gun in my eyes, so I could hear that it was growing well everywhere.

Of course, Gene was satisfied with hunting red bears in a quite different sense than the taste. When Leona looks at you, Gene points to the fallen bear.

“Tales of any kind are expensive. ”

“What's the tale? ”

“I'm talking about the gallbladder of a bear. ”

“gallbladder? That sounds like a lot of names. ”

“I actually use it. ”

“It's expensive? What's that?”

“Well, I don't know, but it's important to have people. ”

“This is really troubling. ”

Unlike the chips to be extracted, selling even the narrative was quite profitable. You can get at least 20 chips, and if you sell them to someone like the Holy Spirit of Castle who only cares about my health, you can get up to 100.

What if we could catch one red bear at a time?

Gene could almost smile just by imagining it. Gene doesn't hesitate to take a look around, even though he can easily climb the mountain. If this is a habitat, there might be a red bear or two more.

It was about twenty steps from the corpse of the red bear when the defect occurred.

Su-woo!

“! ”

“What, what? ”

Suddenly, the ground surrounding the collapsed red bear is pushed inward, and the corpse of the bear is dragged into the ground and disappears. Not only was Leona freaked out, Gin was stiffened as well. Where the bear's corpse disappeared, there was only the appearance of the ground being sucked in like an ant's hell.

“Ahjussi... This..."

Leona stares at the frightfully stiff expression on Gin and asks a grumpy question.

“Was it robbed?”

“ ……. ”

The prey has been pillaged. It is like a nosebleed. Gene stared at the hell with a blank look to see if he could not get out of the shock.

Hunters being robbed of their prey are certainly a disgrace to hunters. Of course, the target is not very good this time.

“Cave ant. ”

“What is a termite? ”

“Ants dig holes and live in them. If you get dizzy, it won't come out on the ground. ”

Gene slowly explains the recessed land. I was still a little dazed that I was frantically shocked.

“Dig a cave close to the ground, and when the prey passes over the cave, a few termites rush in and tear it apart. ”

At that point, Leona looks down at her feet and flaws.

“No, then…. Are we in danger here? ”

“They don't hunt very well alive unless they're starving... If you die fighting between abandoned corpses or animals... Stealing, mostly. ”

Ants take monsters and monsters, humans and monsters, and the dead. They sought to hunt safely, rather than take risks. That's why Gene was not very aware of the crisis even when there might be termites underneath his feet.

“Aren't they the worst ants ever? ”

All that remains is the fact that the body was stolen with open eyes. Leona was pretty upset about the food she stole in a long time, and Gene was shaking her fingertips a little bit because she had her narrative and chips stolen.

The termite moves at an enormous speed in the ground. That's why they're probably already dragging the body underground.

Jin mutters with a stiff expression.

“Witches can control monsters with psychic waves. ”

“Huh? Why... ”

Gene grabs Leona's shoulders and looks her straight in the eye.

“Manipulate the termites and bring them here. No, we just need to find it. If you can control it, try it. Tell me where it is. It's not bad to try. ”

“Huh?"

“Hurry!”

His eyes were engulfed in the fiercest fury that Leona had ever seen. Jin took out the NTW20 with a cool expression and loaded the bullet. Of course, even though the crust of a termite is rigid, a rifle bullet is enough to penetrate.

Heave-ho!

“I'll kill you.”

However, Gene was planning a tremendous revenge campaign for firing a sniper rifle on Zero Street.

Leona closes her eyes and focuses her mind, not knowing what to do.

In 30 minutes,

“I have no idea. ”

Leona shakes her head, exhausted.

“Can't you feel it? ”

“Yeah, I feel like I have to shake my tail. ”

The expression was very accurate in describing her feelings right now. Even when I tried something, I couldn't figure out what to do, so I only felt sick to my stomach when I tried the dragon in a tailless mood. Leona tries a few more times as if she were beautiful.

“... I need to pee because I'm pushing. ”

Leona rushes to the creepy place to see if the wrong part was stimulated at all. When I saw Leona struggling, Jean felt a bit light-headed.

Then I saw the NTW20 sniper rifle in my hand and came to my senses again.

“... Excited. ”

Shooting the Grenade is an emotional response, but it doesn't cost much. Emotionally dealing with a hunted animal is not the way a wise hunter would take it.

Even if you extract the missing chips and sell the narrative at the highest price, 150 chips will not be a waste. Gene took a breath to calm down.

150 chips... 150 hours... ’

It takes a long time for Gene to remove the bullet and put the sniper rifle in.

There isn't just one Red Bear in the world, and if you catch the other one, that's it. It's a 7.62mm round, let's just say.

When Leona gets back, Gin says she needs to stay calm, like a spell.

“Let's go.”

“What's wrong with your face? ”

“Hmm? What's that look on my face? ”

“You look like you're asking me to take something. ”

Gin's eyes were fierce because of the excessive calmness. Human lambs were endless, and when they were angry, they were just like teenage children or hunters over 200 years old. Leona chuckles, piercing Jean's side.

“Well, there are things like this and that in life. ”

“...... I feel even worse when I hear that from a kid. ”

“You don't even have nothing to eat, do you? And actually, I was a little disappointed that I didn't have to eat that kind of meat anymore. ”

Leona said something to ease Jean's mood, and seeing her like that, she had no choice but to make a bitter smile.

“Let's go!”

Leona moves like a fly, and Gene says,

“Not that way, this way. ”

“Oh, right. ”

Leona is heading in the wrong direction, and she scratches her head at Gin's point and smiles. Gene and Leona have moved north.

After crossing the ridge and taking another long walk, Leona suddenly takes her horse out.

“Sorry.”

The voice was pretty quiet.

“What are you talking about? ”

“I couldn't help it. ”

Then Jean seemed to understand why Leona was trying so hard to ease Jean's mood. Gene told Leona that.

“No, I'm sorry. ”

“Why are you sorry? ”

“For doing something weird. ”

“ ……. ”

At that point, Leona lowered her head and tried to press a smile that I didn't even know was there.

“It's okay... ”

Leona felt something overwhelming as she said that, but she didn't know exactly what to call it.
