"I understand that he has not yet regained consciousness.”
"haa."
Director Ah sighed and pressed his forehead. In order to clear the dungeon quickly, he had to recover quickly and join us, but what happened after he woke up was also a problem. What should we do with Hyun Gyu-ha?
“Wow!”
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind her. She looked back in a hurry and saw tents and medical staff waving wildly in the sky. The color drained from Director Ah’s face rapidly.
Hyeon Gyu-ha woke up.
***
Going back in time a bit, just after the gate was formed by the hidden boss.
“Tsk!”
His body shook as his unique field collapsed and he was bounced out of the hidden boss’s territory. Gong Tae-seong vomited a mouthful of red blood while controlling his mana that was seething in a mess. Even at that level, he was in very good condition.
Jang Beom barely managed to get up on his trembling legs, and among the lower-ranked Awakened, like Han Jun-soo, there were even some who had fainted. The ordinary people who had no mana were the ones who had no internal injuries. It was a rare occurrence that ordinary people who had been thrown back and fallen but had no injuries were supporting the hunters.
The disaster occurred in the premium hall, and the entire space of Gangnam Center was distorted. Judging from the flow of mana, there was no clear entrance, but the entire distorted space seemed to be a door leading to the hidden boss's territory. If this disaster were to be reported, it would be registered as a new gate pattern.
There were quite a few people who ran away before the hidden boss opened his eyes. Thanks to this, the scene was already under control by the police and officials from the gate management office. An ambulance soon arrived and transported the seriously injured.
“Fuck. I’m so dizzy.”
Jang Beom, who had vomited blood, rubbed his lips with the back of his hand and leaned against Gong Tae-seong's shoulder, sobbing.
“Don’t relax.”
“It looks like it’s safe for now since it was thrown out. Which guild conquered that place? Is that the only way to clean up the aftermath?”
Gong Tae-seong frowned as he listened to Jang Beom’s complaints. Before the hidden boss regenerated, the whale’s urgent cry was heard.
『The bloodline of the dead king!』
If he was a dead king, he was the twin sister buried under the foundation stone. If we are to be considered blood relatives, she was probably Hyeon Gyu-ha's aunt.
I also saw the Gong Tae-seong clearly. At the end of the replayed illusion, the faith that came from the traces of God was recorded.
'So then, not only can the Bloodline regenerate hidden bosses, but it can also overlay hidden bosses from other parallel worlds onto ®ÀÇ's worldline. So where is Hyeon Gyu-ha…….’
Kuaaang!
Before his eyes could find him, his ears had already caught him. A bus had flown through the sky and crashed into the twisted space. Naturally, the bus couldn’t get through the twist. But it crashed into him again, seemingly unaware of this.
Boom! Kwaang! Boom!
"crazy."
Jang Beom frowned and covered his ears. The air vibrated with the impact of the 12-ton lump of iron hitting the twisted space. The bus was flattened vertically as if it had been compressed into a can.
Kwung!
The useless bus, a lump of metal, fell to the ground. The asphalt on the ground, unable to support its weight, cracked and broke.
Then the car flew through the air. Kwaaang! The car, lighter than the bus, was crushed in a few strokes. Then another car. A truck. A car. A car.
“You crazy bastard. What are you doing?”
“Just leave it for now.”
These are empty cars that suddenly stopped on the road when something unusual happened and all the people evacuated. Hyeon Gyu-ha must know that no matter how much physical impact is applied from the outside, it won't be able to break through.
It must be incredibly frustrating to have your In Yoo-shin stolen right in front of you. If you can let off some steam like this, you can approach the Hidden Boss attack with comparatively calm composure. And no one will get hurt.
I made that judgment and turned my attention, but it was a mistake.
“Uh, huh?”
The paramedics who were just laying the injured person on the cart were startled. The ambulance tilted into the air.
"Jump down! Quickly!"
The driver quickly unbuckled his seatbelt. When he opened the car door, he was already more than a meter up in the air. Before he could jump out, the ambulance flew away quickly. Kwak! Bang!
The officer was thrown out of the flying ambulance because the car door was open, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. However, his face was as pale as a corpse. If he had not fallen, he would have turned into a bloody slurry inside that crumpled ambulance.
Only then did Gong Tae-seong realize.
Hyeon Gyu-ha was not trying to break the distorted space by striking it. He had lost the rationality to judge that it was physically impossible to break through. He was sincerely trying to do something that was no different from throwing a raw egg at a rock.
Regardless of whether the 'tool' he uses is human or not, dead or alive.
“Stop that bastard right now!”
When tools ran out, Hyeon Gyu-ha picked up anything he could find. An ambulance that the rescuers had to rush to get a patient out of. A telephone pole. A warehouse. A large decoration. A street tree. Anything that could be turned into a tool. When all the tools were gone, humans would be next.
Boom! Kwang! Bang!
Hyeon Gyu-ha's fingertips played a reckless destruction. Ambulances and decorations were crushed, and telephone poles and street trees were broken. Items and objects poured out of the destroyed warehouse.
The white flames that rose from under his feet continued to burn his shoes and trousers, but they did not stop. Gong Tae-seong, who had expected him to dodge them, panicked and put the fire away. The two arrows that Jang Beom had used were also completely embedded in his shoulder.
“Papa, don’t you think you could cut off that guy’s balls and become number one in the rankings right now?”
“Are you kidding me in this situation? Shoot an arrow at his head.”
"So if I get a one-shot, one-kill, I'll be ranked 1st?"
Jang Beom grumbled as he pulled the string of his longbow, the Gandiva (a weapon from Indian mythology) that was over two meters long. A clear sound spread, and the arrow was automatically attached to the string. As soon as Gong Tae-seong set fire to the arrowhead, Jang Beom shot his arrow.
An arrow accompanied by sharp wind and flames rushed into the back of Hyeon Gyu-ha's head. Hyeon Gyu-ha tried to shatter the distorted space, ignoring the attack coming at him, but he could not give up on the direct threat to his life.
The arrow that was flying seemed to suddenly stop in midair, then in an instant, it flipped upside down and went backwards. Kaang! The arrow that was coming back at a rapid pace collided with Gong Tae-seong's sword, and a ripping sound was heard. The hand holding the sword hilt felt tingly.
“Do not disturb!”
Hyeon Gyu-ha ran forward, shouting. His eyes, which were tinted with a blood-red light, looked as if they were filled with blood. His tools, which had been knocking on the twisted space, all turned toward Gong Tae-seong.
“I thought your brain was completely broken, but it looks like you still have the wit to speak!”
A thick white flame that devoured everything rose in front of Gong Tae-seong like a wall. He had lost his cool-headed judgment, but Hyeon Gyu-ha was Hyeon Gyu-ha. I had to fight with the real intention of killing to stop that madman.
At the moment when Gong Tae-seong was about to leap forward, pushing the wall of fire forward.
“……!”
Hyeon Gyu-ha's knees began to buckle, and he fell flat on the floor.
“Hmm.”
A sound of air escaping from Jang Beom's mouth as he prepared to fire ten arrows at Gandiva at the same time. He turned around to see a hunter in guard uniform gasping for breath while stretching out both his trembling arms in the direction of Hyeon Gyu-ha.
“What did you just do?”
“I, I have achieved a C-rank awakening with the ability to confuse the mind. Guild Leader! I mainly use it to stun. Of course, I expected it wouldn’t work on Hunter Hyeon, but I tried it thinking that it would be successful even if I could just confuse him a little, and it worked right away……………….”
The one who used the ability seemed the most bewildered, as if he couldn't believe it. Gong Tae-seong sighed and put away the fire. If he was in a normal state, there was no way that an S-class hunter's mental barrier could be penetrated by a C-class hunter's attack.
Jang Beom stuck out his tongue.
“How crazy is he right now?”
“If you want to hunt the hidden boss safely, it might be better for Hyeon Gyu-ha to stay unconscious.”
Gong Tae-seong muttered bitterly and put his arm around the unconscious Hyeon Gyu-ha.
“What about Yoo-shin who was captured?”
“………………There is no way right now.”
It was ironic that the hidden boss had to open the gate in order to save In Yoo-shin. The distortion of space that only he could not escape from was still intact as if nothing had happened.
