chapter 68
68 – Reasons for Interest
If a person with innate talent desperately seeks something and works hard, anything will come true.
Lee Yeon-hee has been practicing desperately to embody the magical power at her fingertips, remembering the operation of magical power that Ilwoli used to handle.
It’s been three days already.
And finally, magic power rose like a thread from the tips of his fingers, and he succeeded in making a small circle with it and holding it.
“Whew… This is really hard.”
In the first place, it is impossible for ordinary hunters to implement magic itself in a certain form, rather than using magic in the form of a skill.
I thought I’d give it a try, so it wasn’t something that would immediately succeed, but she did it in just three days.
Of course, the talent of Il-Wol who realized that on her own was at a far-off level, but she also deserves to be called a gift from heaven.
It was important whether or not she could do it, but once she’s done it, her progress will definitely accelerate.
The idea that came to her head was immediately applied to Wang Wangi.
Wow?!
Chitsutsutsutsu-
The faint sphere of magic she created landed on Wang Wangi’s body. She grabbed the part and tried to shake it, but it stuck firmly as if it were glued together.
Wow??
“Heh, hehehe.. It becomes, becomes.”
She was already beginning to realize little by little about the new possibilities of summoners.

An office with no one but yourself.
Sleep-
A man with white hair, neatly dressed in a navy blue suit, rose from the office floor.
However, Jogiman did not show the slightest agitation even after seeing him who suddenly appeared.
“This is the latest data related to Hunter Lee Yeon-hee.”
“·······.”
Jo Ki-man blankly stared at the file folder uploaded by Jeong Ju-in, but did not respond.
Jung Ju-in, sensing that her boss was different from usual, waited patiently for her instructions to come down.
The words that came out of Jo Ki-man’s mouth after a while were very dry and cold.
“Disappear.”
“······ Then-“
Jogiman, the head of the white knight guild and his direct superior, was in a very angry state right now.
‘Why? Usually, as much as Lee Yeon-hee’s news, he reacted in some way…’
Jung Ju-in couldn’t help but know that Jo Ki-man had a special thought for Lee Yeon-hee. This is because Lee Yeon-hee’s trend reporting cycle was shorter than the blue-eyed organization that only Jo Ki-man cared about the most.
‘You’ve become extremely sensitive since the report you posted yesterday. Were any of them that important?’
Jo Ki-man periodically handed over the list to Jeong Ju-in and gave instructions to find out everything about them, and yesterday, as usual, a few people posted such reports.
Jeong Ju-in thought while penetrating the office floor.
‘I’ll have to look at the data again.’
I wanted to find out who dared to offend the person he served.
Sleep-
Jeongjuin disappears.
Talk- Talk-
The focus of Jo Ki-man, who had been staring blankly into space, gradually returned, and his muttered voice gradually began to grow.
“Why··· why··· Yoon Han-gyeol died… Why the hell!!”
Jo Ki-man learned from a report yesterday that he had a variable in a form that had never happened in his last 6 lives.
Yun Han-gyeol, who always awakened at the beginning of the spring of 2021 and lived the life of a hunter, has already died in 2020? That he suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed a month ago? Does that make sense?
No matter how much I think about Jo Ki-man, I have never done anything to create that level of variable, so I couldn’t understand the current situation at all.
“Damn it, without Yun Han-gyeol… What should I do? I have to review all the plans I’ve made…”
Ujijik-
Jo Ki-man, who had unknowingly crumpled up Lee Yeon-hee’s trend report, became annoyed at the moment and tossed the papers to the floor.
“f*ck… f*ck!”
Now was not the time to care about things like Lee Yeon-hee. He had to find someone to replace Yoon Han-gyeol… No, even if he couldn’t replace him, he had to find a hunter with sensory values that were at least a little closer. And I’ll have to wait until it’s properly ripe while tying it to the guild.
“Jung Ju-in, please come up.”
Jogi-man muttered, and Jung-ju-in reappeared from the floor.
“Did you call, Master?”
“Let’s find one person. That fits the criteria.”
Jung Ju-in, who received the memo that Jo Ki-man wrote quickly, greeted Jo Ki-man politely, and she immediately disappeared.
“Huu- Yun Han-gyeol What the hell happened? You should have died by my hand…”
* * *
‘It’s done. I’m ready.’
In storage: 56/56
Of these 56 bombs, two are intermediate bombs made from the bones of a monster named ‘Teeth’.
‘Currently, you can call it my special move, hehehe-‘
I still can’t figure out the destructive power of the bomb, but I just hoped that I wouldn’t have to use it for the time being. If there was a situation where this bomb was used, it would mean that an unexpected accident had occurred.
I don’t think there’s anything to use unless a monster that’s at least a monster called ‘teeth’ doesn’t appear.
Yeon-hee woke up in an empty living room and walked out often.
“Oh, how are you?”
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
‘Why do you look so tired?’
Except for Yeon-hee looking a little tired, it was a morning like any other.
Hearing her shower, seeing her eating, and changing her clothes…
Bang-
I still changed my clothes in the room.
“Shall we go?”
With the departure signal, she entered the dark space for a while and was called back to the dungeon.
The familiar landscape of the lizard marsh came into view, and in front of me were Helen and Song Jin-kyung, who was five years older, sighing heavily. It seems that the work of a man named Hyeon-seok was quite a shock.
‘Perhaps Song Jin-kyung is a man named Hyeon-seok…’
Jin-kyung stood there with an expression of having lost everything, but her mouth was still teasing.
“Ah! Even thinking about it again makes me really angry. Unni, Jang Hyun-seok bastard. Pay back the money and retire!!”
‘·······.’
“Hyeon-seok is a bad-headed kid who forgets all his money when he is doing some stock. But don’t worry too much, Jin-kyung, because he’s not someone who will steal money.”
“Unnie, one place in my heart hurts so much. My 10,000,000 won… I called in the morning and I didn’t have a single penny, so there’s a saying that I’m hungry, right?
“Ehhh… He doesn’t have the heart to do that, but he always talks like that. Don’t worry too much.”
‘What did you trust that child and lent him 10 million won? Song Jin-kyung, you also don’t know how to look at people.’
Unknowingly, I shook her head.
“200M from the entrance to the C course. Noh Ha-yoon asked to see you there, right?”
“Yes… Let’s go. I think we came first.”
We went straight to the meeting place. Usually, it is common to meet at the entrance, but there was no case like this on the hunting route. Everyone in the party was puzzled, but passed it over without a big deal.
Same time.
Hayoon Noh was already seated at the meeting place.
Originally, her plan was to go after the summoner while clearing the dungeon, but her thoughts changed.
‘How did you endure? I’m going crazy because I’m curious.’
Noh Ha-yoon became interested in Lee Yeon-hee, or to be more precise, the summoner Il-wol because of the dungeon break in Guchang-ro.
A dungeon break at the very beginning, where low-level monsters such as goblins became the main focus. Ha-yoon Noh allowed her to yawn as she slowly slain the monsters.
Then, she was greatly surprised by the attack of the ‘Speaker’ in the center, and she retreated.
After putting her first gear in reverse in a life that has always been about moving forward, she jumps back to the center to restore her crumpled pride and a sense of justice that she must protect the weak as the ace of a prestigious guild. I heard
But re-entering the poison of the spore snail, she had to taste her despair again.
‘That, what’s that… That monster… Foul play! It’s against the rules!!’
A monster that seemed unable to defeat even if 100 hunters with the same stats as her gathered, was slaughtering the hunters.
It cuts through the bodies and arms of hunters with its long, sharp blade-like claws.
Its mouth, which extends up and down, bites the head of a hunter who has lost focus in fear and swallows it with one bite.
Kshahahahaaagh!!
The monster raises her head to the sky and lets out a shrieking roar. The moment she heard that sound, her body stiffened and she couldn’t move even a single step, even though she knew she had to run away.
Suddenly-!
It’s coming. Clearly, Noh Ha-yoon’s monster was approaching her.
Pulsuk-
Noh Ha-yoon, who eventually met her gaze with the monster that approached her at a distance of 20m, did not hesitate to fall to her floor without realizing it. Even so, her high mental strength made her desperately raise her magic power.
But.
Juljuljuljul-
Unlike a strong mind, an honest body was already urinating.
But she didn’t feel ashamed at all. Rather, the monster saw my weakness and drew a wild imagination in her head, clicking her tongue.
‘Seo, seolchang… Please…’
However, she overcame her fear and eventually managed to mold her huge ice spear into the palm of her hand.
It wasn’t just the size. The ice spear with a soft blue light shimmering as if to show off that it had reached the second level of the ice mage.
Kreuk?
For a moment, the monster tilted her head, as if feeling something sinister.
Noh Ha-yoon thought that the monster had noticed her own attack, so she immediately cast her skill.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa ㅡ
A deadly ranged attack created after overcoming fear. The flying speed and direction were all perfect.
However, the monster took a motion as if it was chasing away a mosquito that was bothering me by the ear, and then lightly broke the window in the second stage.
Kwajangchangchang-!!
“Ha… hahahaha?··· Words··· No way······ Is my attack that futile?”
Hayun Noh laughed like a madman, but her eyes stared straight at the monster. It was so scary, but there was something like a promise that I would die while spitting curse words at you even with my eyes until the last moment.
But the monster didn’t even look at Ha-yoon Noh. Are you saying that a dirty person like me isn’t worth dealing with? Only then did Hayoon tremble at her sense of helplessness, and her tears poured profusely.
But at that time, from the other side of Hayoon, a pile of stones the size of a fist flew in and exploded around the monster one after another.
‘··· What is it? Are they reinforcements?’
Isn’t the high-ranking hunter here? If you are a hunter who can launch dozens of attacks with that level of firepower in a row, you must be at least a C-class hunter.
And then, when the explosion had stopped for some time, someone appeared through the smoke and rammed the body of the monster.
