chapter 26
26 – Please do not doubt the Heretic Questioner [EPISODE – 1]
Did you say heretic questioner?
When I was researching in [Frozen Heart], I knew almost all information about S-class, but to be honest, I didn’t know much about the existence of the Heretic Questioner.
I just knew that there was another S-class person in the [Cult] along with the saintess, but the existence of the Heretic Questioner was a mysterious person.
It was definitely listed as the 6th hunter, but it was such a hunter like an urban legend that I had never seen it.
I didn’t know I would face such a Hunter here and now.
‘Did I hide such a monster?’
A man with red hair, a body with bulging muscles, and a 230 cm tall body.
The blurry eyes, the parting of the mouth as he looked at me, and even the way he spoke like he was half insane. He was undoubtedly a drug addict.
But even so, that man never let me off guard.
My eyes are half-blind now, but I’m trying to make out every move I make.
It was instinct.
No matter how drunk he was, he was facing me right now, as if fighting was a beast’s instinct.
Now that I was facing the Heretic Questioner, I couldn’t help but be quite interested.
“Kicky-kyaeng-kyak. Let’s fight quickly… Hero.”
Even if he said such frivolous words, he could not hide the spirit that never flowed out.
No matter how drugged they are, they are not normal bets. No doubt this man was strong.
It was clear at once that he was strong enough to rank among the top S-class hunters.
Originally, he would have been an opponent I could never defeat.
Probably, even Park Jin-ha couldn’t win.
So, no doubt, if it were me in the past, I would have run away.
I would have run away and somehow found a way to defeat this man.
He must have felt that there was nothing more stupid than confronting them head-on.
However, for some reason…
“Start?”
If it’s me now, I don’t think I’ll ever lose.
After being beaten by Park Jin-ha, it feels like the gears in my body have changed.
Was it because of the crystal the goddess gave me in the burning world?
I’m not sure, but my physical abilities right now are not at the human level.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
Vladinov Serken.
The second-in-command of the [Cult] and the sixth-ranked S-rank Hunter with the alias of Heretic Questioner.
He couldn’t help but enjoy seeing Lee Si-woo, who now introduced himself as a warrior.
‘He looks stocky, but he doesn’t look that strong. Kick.’
The black-haired man in front of me was about 180 cm tall, and he didn’t have a svelte physique.
It was an opponent with a physique with moderately lean muscles.
And also, I had the sword of the Kendo Swordsman Association, but it wasn’t that good.
The attire was also very plain.
There was no such thing as an expensive-looking item.
“It’s boring… I want to take medicine… Kicky kick kicky”
That is why Vladinov Zerken was vigilant.
I approached Siwoo Lee as if I was hitting a punching bag.
Because now his mind was full of thoughts of wanting to finish it quickly and take medicine.
However…
squeak.
‘uh?’
At some point, Siwoo Lee was behind him.
And he had been cut from his chest to his belly.
Vladinov couldn’t help but be surprised.
Obviously, Vladinov never took his eyes off Siu Lee.
No matter how drunk he was, he could pour all areas of his brain into battle.
That’s why he watched Lee Si-woo all the time.
Still, I couldn’t follow it at all.
And only the result remains.
Vladinov collapsed just like that.
“It’s over.”
Vladinov sees his body oozing blood.
It was Lee Si-woo who left him behind and walked out.
“Kick-kick-kick… It’s not what it looks like.”
However.
Vladinov stood up again.
“Kigi ki ki ki ki… I guess the word warrior wasn’t bluffing… Ki ki ki.”
“What is it? Are you a recovery person? It doesn’t match what you look like at all.”
Rays of light burst from Vladinov’s wounds.
The beams of light healed Vladinov’s wounds.
Vladinov’s ability [Super Regeneration] was an S-class with the ability to heal any wound in less than a few seconds.
In front of such ability, even instant death wounds were useless.
“Kikikick… How long can you last? Kikikick.”
So, Vladinov was not afraid of battle at all.
At this moment, Vladinov felt like he had found something more fun than drugs.
It was the pleasure of tormenting an opponent.
“Kigikigikk. I will never fall.”
bang..!!!
Vladinov launched a counterattack.
After jumping in the air, I took down the place where Lee Siu was.
As he slammed down, Vladinov’s elation grew even higher.
He was very happy with his current situation.
To him, combat was just a one-sided assault.
One-sided violence and exchange were only entertainment that only Vladinov could enjoy.
“Kigikikkwa…”
Once again Vladinov took flight.
And hit the ground again.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!!!
The floor caved in with a loud noise.
“Kikikikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkig.”
Watching Lee Si-woo dodged all the attacks, Vladinov started laughing as if he was having so much fun.
In the first place, the reason why Vladinov was looking for drugs was because he was suffering from not being able to fight a strong man, so he took drugs.
battle fanatic. For Vladinov, combat was the drug itself, the very purpose of life.
For Vladinov, the current situation was very enjoyable.
How much will the opponent’s potential be?
How long can the bloody fight last?
How can you please yourself?
Vladinov looked at Lee Si-woo in front of him and was full of anticipation.
“I’m already going to die of confusion because of Lee Si-eun, but the sound of laughter really makes people go crazy.”
The more the man in front of him felt annoyed with himself, the more Vladinov enjoyed it.
“Ouch…”
The man in front of me disappeared once again.
And at some point, he cut his body in two.
“Kick-ki-ki-gi-gi. Once you recover… that’s enough.. Kick-kicking.”
Even with such a wound, Vladinov overlaid the pain with pleasure.
A ray of light continued from his severed body once again, attaching it to his body.
So the battle continued.
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡ
Leitana.
A woman of mixed blood, blond hair, and beautiful appearance, wearing a nun’s uniform.
She is an S-class hunter with the alias of a saint who is in charge of the guild leader of the [Cult].
Such Reitana was now praying in front of the statue of the goddess in a dark room in the basement of the [Cult].
“Please… give me an answer… Goddess.”
As the head of a large guild, Reitana is extremely busy, but she always keeps time for prayer.
In a dark room, in front of a stone statue, Reitana in a blonde nun’s uniform knelt down.
Then put your hands together and pray.
While praying like that, the door opened in a hurry.
“Laytana-nim. It’s a big deal.”
A man in priestly clothes, he now looked at Reitana with an urgent expression.
“What is it?”
“Currently, two people have broken into the basement.”
He cleared his breathless chest and spoke very briefly of the current situation.
“Ha. Two people?”
“Yes. One man and one woman.”
“I see. At least Park Jin-ha and Lee Si-woo.”
After hearing the words of the man in priestly clothes, Reitana let out a sigh.
He put on a bewildered expression, as if he had called him just because of that.
“Then send the Heretic Questioner. He will take care of everything.”
“that is…”
“Are there any problems?”
Reitana said as if it were natural.
However, the man in priestly clothes listened to Reitana’s words and continued answering with hesitation.
“I don’t think it can be done with the Heretic Questioner alone.”
“ha…”
Reitana sighed once more after hearing the man in the priestly uniform’s answer.
He put his hand on his forehead.
“You guys really don’t know about the Heretic Questioner.”
“… what do you mean by that?”
“He’s not human. An immortal creature that only seeks to fight. Nothing can defeat him…”
And Reitana continued to explain as if she was frustrated.
“I’ve only seen him speak his mind once.”
In Reitana’s mind, there was only one time when the Heretic Questioner was sincere.
No one has ever seen him, but only Reitana knows his true abilities.
“If he starts to get serious, half of Seoul will blow up.”
When Reitana met Vladinov in Russia, he only got to see his real skills once.
And Reitana couldn’t help but be in awe of that power.
It was absurd that such a Heretic Questioner would lose.
“Please do not doubt the Heretic Questioner.”
As if there was nothing more to say, Reitana turned her head and looked at the statue of the goddess again.
Then, as if it were a hindrance, he gestured to the clergyman in priestly clothes and took the nuance of not interfering with the prayer.
However…
She couldn’t continue praying.
“Hey. Are you a drug addict here?”
“Kikikikick… Yes… Yes… Siwoo hyung… This is the right place. Kick.”
“Hey. Didn’t I tell you not to split it?”
“Now… I was wrong. I won’t split you up, so please don’t hit me anymore…”
Soon after, the voices of two men were heard in front of the statue’s room.
“what…?”
Reitana and the Heretic Questioner who cried and prayed with both hands.
He found a man grabbing his hair and dragging him.
Reitana was embarrassed by this situation.
