*** - Jang Beom crazy ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ... he uploaded a video of him destroying the Forbidden city in the dungeon on Instagramㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The comment section got fucked up because of the Northern Chinese people ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just uploaded a video of me doing a sexy dance in front of a broken throne, fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ For not even being a tank, the aggro is insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If Jang Beom wasn't a hunter, he would have definitely been shot and killed in a back alley somewhereㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴWhat on earth is that kid's mentality like?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴㄴIs it mentally acceptable for a person to call Gong Tae-seong, who is the same age as you, "Papa"? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴㄴㄴ but Jang Beom's birthday is earlierㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴfuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThe two biggest hunters in the world are in Ministry of Ability and Narsha, so it's reassuring to have them both in our wings ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThe future of South Korea is so fucking brightㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴㄴIf the two of them were to fight against each other, Hyeon Gyu-ha will probably winㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴWhat happened to the Forbidden City??? Did it get destroyed?? ㄴㄴyeah, utterly flattened it, so satisfyingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThat vast Forbidden City became a barren field stretching all the way to the horizon ㄴㄴㄴGasp ㅋㅋㅋwhat dungeon was it?? ㄴㄴㄴㄴIt was a Ming Dynasty dungeon with some rebels appearingㅋㅋㅋ ㄴㄴㄴㄴㄴIt's not the comment about that, but it seems to be Li Zicheng ㅎㅎ Li Zicheng's rebels captured Beijing and the emperor committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree. ㄴI just watched the video, and the fact that they aggro crazily against each other so incredibly well makes it even more annoyingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ - I didn't know because I've never actually seen it, but the Forbidden City is incredibly bigㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What on earth did you do to destroy everything there? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think it won't work with just skills alone, so I guess they deliberately fought with cannons or aerial bombardment ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do you think Jang Beom dropped a bomb in the dungeon because he wanted a fight? Damn it, Jang Beom would be able to do it fr I don't know if they're gold-plated or made of real gold, but seeing all these shiny things lying around in pieces makes me feel a bit sorry. Can't I just pick them up? They're all relics, so they'd probably be expensive. ㄴㄴAnyway, anything that come out of the dungeon contains mana, so if you examine them, you'll find out that they're not actually relics or precious metals. yeah, Since you can take them out every time it resets, their rarity isn't that great either... Unless you're a gate scholar or someone who collects things from dungeons, items are treated like fakes. ㄴWow, but what if the North Chinese people get mad and destroy Gyeongbokgung Palace dungeon? Omg omg omg Even if it's just a dungeon, I think I'd feel a little bad if I saw Gyeongbokgung Palace actually destroyed... ㄴㄴSure, If Gyeongbokgung Palace turns into a dungeon, there's a 70-80% chance that it’s set in the Imjin War... It's already all burned down anywaysㅎ ㄴㄴㄴAaaa...... ㄴㄴㄴHow to keep the palace from being destroyed: Burn it before it gets destroyed. *** The next day, after the two of them left work, Gong Tae-seong was still hospitalized. He had his rotten and decaying wounds treated, but it seemed he needed to rest for a few days. Of course, Hyeon Gyu-ha ignored everything and opened the hospital room door, and In Yoo-shin followed behind him. “You’re here.” Gong Tae-seong, sitting on the bed in the VIP room, looked as perfectly fine just like when In Yoo-shin was hospitalized by practically faking. Hyeon Gyu-ha nodded without warning. “Call the whale first.” "Just wait and see." Gong Tae-seong pressed his temple and muttered, “Sleeping Beauty. Come out and see.” In Yoo-shin, hiding behind Hyeon Gyu-ha, tilted his head. Was he calling that large whale Sleeping Beauty? He has an extraordinary sense. But the scene before his eyes was silent. Gong Tae-seong shrugged his shoulders. "He's not coming out? He's the type of guy who sleeps for half of the day." "A big whale that sleeps a lot?" Hyeon Gyu-ha muttered, rubbing his chin, wondering if it was a familiar combination. "Do you have any guesses?" "Yes. But it's not a whale, it's a fish…… Well, anyway. When will it wake up?" "I said I would see you, so he will open his eyes today." It was a dull answer. But Hyeon Gyu-ha also had things to do while waiting for the whale to wake up. "Then I guess I'll just wait while I 'deal with' you first. Start talking from the beginning. So, that whale, you met it in Hoeryong, right?" "Have you investigated that far?" Gong Tae-seong readily agreed. He continued by explaining that he had met the whale at the gate when he stopped by Hoeryong two years ago, and that their mutual understanding was aligned, so they have maintained a contractual relationship to this day. "I've only heard vaguely about it." "Is it true that you want to use Gyu-ha's heart?" "That’s right." This time, Gong Tae-seong agreed as well. His calmness actually made In Yoo-shin boil inside. How could he have such a calm expression when he was trying to kill someone? In Yoo-shin stepped forward from behind Hyeon Gyu-ha. “What on earth did the guild leader need that would make you kill people?” Not only Gong Tae-seong, but also Hyenn Gyu-ha looked surprised by the unexpected sharp voice. And for some reason, Hyeon Gyu-ha looked more flustered than Gong Tae-seong, moving his lips and then biting his lower lip. “......I lost to Hyeon Gyu-ha and I have nothing to say whether he eat me roasted or boiled, but that doesn't mean I have to reveal my entire purpose.” "So what was your purpose? The guild leader hit a man with his car and killed him, and you're going to just say that you had to hurry and get away with it? Why did you try to kill Gyu-ha-ssi?" Unrefined anger welled up inside him.  I was anxious that Hyeon Gyu-ha might die because of me being his weakness. And I felt self-loathing, wishing that he, who was my savior despite being his weakness, had not saved him. This anger was ultimately directed at himself. “......Yoo-shin-ssi, you......." When Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been hesitating, barely opened his mouth, the sharp sound of the phone ringing interrupted his words. Gong Tae-seong sighed and picked up the phone. "Han Jun-su, I told you not to contact me right now......." -I-it's Noona! Noona is at the hospital! I can't stop her! ".....what?" Before Gong Tae-seong could even let out a heavy groan, the door to the hospital room opened with a bang as if it was going to fall off, and a woman in a suit came in. The tall but pale-faced woman with a dull expression crossed the room without hesitation. “…….” Even when being questioned, Gong Tae-seong's expression, which had been calm, hardened in an instant, and Hyeon Gyu-ha also looked a little surprised. "Noona. Weren't you in Germany?" "I immediately sent a plane after hearing the news that that person had an accident. Ah, and the person next to you is In Yoo-shin, right? I've heard a lot about him. Her name is Min Geut-nyeo." The voice, which was as powerless as the impression, made even In Yoo-shin, who was so emotional, calm down a little. 'I thought I'd seen your face somewhere.…… It was Vice President of Yangsa.’ Although she was Gong Tae-seong's ex-wife, it was first recognized that they were close enough that Hyeon Gyu-ha called Noona. Min Geut-nyeo, who had walked to the bed with a listless gait, unlike the momentum with which she had slammed the door open, took down the shoulder strap of the luxury bag that was easily worth over a hundred million won and was a byproduct of the dungeon. Then, she began to beat up Gong Tae-seong while swinging the bag around. “……!” While In Yoo-shin was startled, Gong Tae-seong was being beaten mercilessly by Min Geut-nyeo, whose thighs were not even half his size. "W-wait a minute. Geut-nyeo- ya . I have something to say." "You crazy bastard! You were defeated by Hunter Hyeon in the dungeon, why did you come out alive? It's not too late, so just go out and die!" “No, that’s……” "Don't talk to me!" The metal accessory of the white robe that was being swung around recklessly hit his forehead, causing a 'bang!' sound. The loud, clear sound made In Yoo-shin flinch, even though he wasn't the one who got hit.  It must really hurt. Honestly, if it feels satisfying, is that a bad thing? [Current status: Murderous, affectionate, anxious. Satisfied.] Um, I guess that's not a bad thing. "You know what kind of person Hunter Hyeon is to me! How dare you try to harm him?! You're 9 years older than Hunter Hyeon, but what the hell are you! Hunter Hyeon is so dependable! You're just trying to hurt people behind my back!" Gong Tae-seong, who was unable to move and was being beaten by his ex-wife who could subdue him with just one little finger, could not stand the comparison between him and Hyeon Gyu-ha and ended up shouting. "They said that was the only way to cure Anna's illness!" "They said that was the only way to cure Anna's illness!" "......What did you say?" “I have to kill Hyeon Gyu-ha to save Anna!" ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

"Can you send it to me?" In Yoo-shin also nodded quickly. His favorability toward Gong Tae-seong, who had deceived him and dragged Hyeon Gyu-ha into it, had plummeted to the bottom, but that didn’t mean he wanted to see him die in front of him. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who made a vague gesture, took a step back. If In Yoo-shin had made up his mind, there was nothing more to say. Besides, it was possible to capture Gong Tae-seong even if it wasn’t here, and there was a need to talk to the whale or the monster. Jang Beom stood up, supporting Gong Tae-seong. With a slight sense of tension, the guild members walked around the two as if they were guarding them. The low whispering sound was heard only by Gong Tae-seong's ears. "Is Gyu-ha really a prince or something?" “It seems so.” "Um…... Don't be discouraged. Papa is still my eternal prince." Jang Beom's voice became sharp as a look of genuine disgust appeared on Gong Tae-seong's face. "Hey, Gong Tae-seong. Your face genuinely hurts me, okay?" "It's so much nicer not hearing that 'Papa' crap." "Papa only hates Beom." As the members of the Narsha Guild moved away, Hyeon Gyu-ha quickly took out a box from the inventory. He then brought a round, white bread to In Yoo-shin’s mouth. He took a bite without thinking. "You must be hungry because you haven't had a proper dinner due to the pandemic. How about some white apricot bread I bought in Hoeryong?" "Uh, it's my first time having apricot bread, but it's delicious and sour and sweet." As I was eating it because it was so interesting, I was reminded of 8-se. "Today, 8- se  helped me. He was able to tell me where the guild leader was." "Was it? I'll figure out what happened later, but anyway, it was useful. When we go out, I'll generously give him more apricot bread. There were a few things that happened in Hoeryong, so I'll tell you when I go out. Seong-gil hyung will probably be worried, so I need to contact him....... Ah." Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was about to fly into the air while holding In Yoo-shin, stopped. "I messed up." "What?!" “I couldn’t control my ability because I found out at Hoeryeong Station that I couldn’t get through to Master on the phone earlier.” I don't know what exactly happened, but it was a big deal if you messed up something. If a hunter commits an illegal act outside of a dungeon, he or she will be punished more severely than an ordinary person. "Ugh. Then we should get out of the dungeon quickly!" "But my phone was also broken." “I’ll lend you my phone!" For some reason, In Yoo-shin was more flustered than Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had messed up something. Hyeon Gyu-ha gave him a faint smile as he worried about him as if it were his own business, and then immediately flew into the sky and headed for the dungeon entrance. ** Time passed quickly as he called Kwon Seong-gil, who had been waiting anxiously, and explained that there was nothing wrong, and contacted Hoeryong Station to provide compensation. Now was the time to share stories while eating the white apricot bread and rice cakes he had bought in Hoeryong. "Gyu-ha- ssi , please take off your clothes." "The powerful Master is also very cool." Hyeon Gyu-ha immediately unbuckled his pants belt, with a rattle sound, and In Yoo-shin thought he was going to faint. He had been prepared for him to make a sex joke if he told him to take off his clothes, but he was trying to take off his pants right away! “Not that one!” "Huh? Didn't we say we'd do something good?" "I won't do it! I need to treat the wound, the wound!" "That's more urgent than treatment." "If you leave the wound alone, I'll call you Gyu-Gyu from now on." “…….” Hyeon Gyu-ha glanced at the doll that was second to him, still sitting quietly on the shelf next to the mattress, and slumped his shoulders. Then he took off his riding jacket and stretched his arms out in front of him. "Then, Master, please take off your T-shirt. I can't compromise on this." If he were to ask her to take off his clothes, In Yoo-shin would obviously just twitch and twitch without being able to properly touch them. He was planning to use that as an excuse to just let it go, but In Yoo-shin was determined. When Hyeon Gyu-ha saw that he was holding kitchen scissors in his hand after coming back from the kitchen, he obediently took off his T-shirt. "I'm embarrassed because I haven't gained any belly fat yet." "I told you, you don't have to gain weight." In Yoo-shin put his hand on the wound on his abdomen where his abs were clearly separated, not to mention his belly fat. The wound quickly healed. It was so frustrating to see him hurt. If I had to name the person I hated the most right now, I could say Gong Tae-seong without hesitation. He looked at his left chest while treating other minor wounds. The name, still clearly engraved, was reflected in his eyes. When he first saw that name, he never imagined that their relationship would become like this. *Thanks to 8-se, I'm glad I don't have enough mana to treat Gyu-ha- ssi ." As In Yoo-shin continued to treat him meticulously, a thought flashed through his head.  Now that I think about it, wasn’t the buff I gave in the dungeon right after the battle? The situation was urgent at the time, so it passed, but what if I revived it now that he was being healed? In Yoo-shin’s eyes twitched with fear. When his trembling gaze could not bear to look down, Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled brightly. "I'm going to the bathroom." "Are you going to wash your hands?!" "What…… That's included too." “……!” That too? What else is there besides that! Hyeon Gyu-ha went into the bathroom, leaving In Yoo-shin with only his lips quivering. And after quite some time, he came out with a refreshed expression, even though he only washed his hands. In Yoo-shin desperately pretended not to know while eating rice cakes with 8- se . “Yoo-shin- ssi .” Until a soft voice blew breath into his ear and stroked the back of his neck. “Hiyaaaaah!” Next to him, who was so startled that he almost jumped up from his chair, Hyeon Gyu-ha shook the flower petals. "This fell on the nape of my neck. Did it fall from a bouquet of flowers hanging on the wall?" “…….” "But why are you so surprised?" “…….” It was really annoying. In the meantime, I was going crazy because I thought it was cute how shameless he was. In Yoo-shin's eyes widened as he heard from Hyeon Gyu-ha about the events that had happened in Hoeryeong while eating bread and rice cakes. "You mean something like a sudden gate might have appeared?" "It's somewhat similar. I was wondering what Gong Tae-seong did there, but if the whale I saw today came out, it seems plausible, right?" "Oh. Really…… But didn't it say it wasn't a monster but was busy crying?" "Something other than a monster could pop out. My mother was not a monster either, but she was able to get across just fine." "Ah.” Only then did In Yoo-shin clearly understand what he meant. He guessed that it might be some kind of creature that came from a parallel world. "Furthermore." Hyeon Gyu-ha twirled the fork between his fingers, smiling. "Gong Tae-seong said that if he had my heart, he could go to ®AC too. Since he knows me, I'm sure that whale has something to do with ®AC." "......Is it true about having Gyu-ha-ssi’s heart?" “I don’t know either.” "Whether it's true or not, the guild leader really tried to kill Gyu-ha- ssi ." Hyeon Gyu-ha snorted lightly. "Gong Tae-seong is going to kill me? Even if I die a hundred times and wake up, that's impossible." The arrogant tone mixed with laughter helped to dispel some of the melancholy that had settled in In Yoo-shin’s heart, but it didn’t completely dispel it. After all, it was Gong Tae-seong who had truly intended to kill Hyeon Gyu-ha, and he was the one who used me as a means. As if reading his mind, which was just fiddling with his fingers without saying a word, Hyeon Gyu-ha wrapped his fingertips around it. "I won't deny that using Yoo-shin- ssi  to provoke and lure me would have been the easiest way. However, Gong Tae-seong was determined to kill me. That means he would have used any method even if it weren't for Yoo-shin- ssi ." "But......." Hyeon Gyu-ha's hand pressed against his hesitant lips. As if telling him not to blame himself anymore, gently. "I'm actually happy that other people know my soft side as Yoo-shin- ssi . It means that our relationship has been acknowledged." I thought it was sophistry. Before he could even say that, Hyeon Gyu-ha continued speaking. "Besides, this is a good strategy as well. If you don't have any weaknesses, you'll have to defend more often because you don't know where the enemy will come from. But if you have an obvious weak spot, they'll target that spot. I just have to defend that weak spot well. So, is like me protecting In Yoo-shin- ssi ." "......What do you mean by that." In the end, In Yoo-shin also let out a laugh with his face relaxed. He was talking nonsense, but his intention to protect himself was so obvious that it was impossible to deny it. "What a sinister person Gong Tae-seong is. Shall I tell you what he is capable of?" “What happened?” "It's already been 14 years since I first got to know Gong Tae-seong, so I've seen and heard a lot." "Has it been that long?" "I started my career as a hunter in earnest when I was 14. I met Hye-yeon and Choi Jin-hyuk around that time." “Ah, I see.” If the person sitting in front of me wasn't Hyeon Gyu-ha, I would have just thought it was gossip and let it slide, but right now, I needed something. Anything that would prove that Hyeon Gyu-ha was safely in front of me. In Yoo-shin let out a small smile as he felt a sense of comfort, as if he was being enveloped by Hyeon Gyu-ha's clear voice. Gong Tae-seong and Whale decided to meet tomorrow. And there, In Yoo-shin met an unexpected person. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

"Did you get hit by Papa's technique? I thought Gyu-ha couldn't use that." "He used it for the first time today. Looks like he copied it after seeing mine." Jang Beom stuck out his tongue. Gong Tae-seong was no pushover, but Hyeon Gyu-ha, who turned him into a rag, was an even worse monster. "But the internal organs didn't come out. If the internal organs had rotted and fallen off like that, it would have been difficult to recover." "Just tell me to die, though." “Should we look into a burial plot?” "I'm going for a tree burial." "I have to see the Vice President before I die." "......Yeah. If the last thing I saw was your face, I think I'd be so resentful that I wouldn't be able to close my eyes even after I die." "Wow, even I would be hurt by comments like that." I searched through the inventory, but I couldn't find anything that could treat my rotting wound. I had to go outside and get treatment, but I wondered if Hyeon Gyu-ha would send me there. Unlike Jang Beom, who was looking at him with concern, Gong Tae-seong did not even think about treating his wound and just stared blankly into space. In front of him, Jang Beom waved his hands. “Something.” "No, I thought my eyesight might have gone bad while fighting." The distant bell sound completely stopped, and a new notification window appeared. [The dungeon boss 'The Bell No One Answers' has died.] [The dungeon has been cleared.] "It's a quick fix." Jang Beom stood up and lifted Gandiva in front of his body. He didn’t think he could beat Hyeon Gyu-ha even a little, but he had to struggle. However, Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was standing nearby with In Yoo-shin at his side, only frowned and did not rush to cut Gong Tae-seong’s neck. He just looked down at In Yoo-shin next to him and checked his mood. Gong Tae-seong muttered quietly. “I don’t want that kid to see me cut off my arms and legs and carry off only my torso.” "What on earth were you two playing?" Hyepn Gyu-ha answered that question. Hyeon Gyu-ha lightly placed his hand on the crown of In Yoo-shin’s head, who was fidgeting and looking back and forth between the two of them, and then approached Gong Tae-seong alone. His soft whispers from his bent back would never be heard by the distant In Yoo-shin. "I'll send it for now, but I'll come get it soon, so wait. You should write a will in advance." "Do you think I'll just quietly take it then?" "No matter how hard you struggle, the result won't change, and it'll just be ugly." "No matter how ugly it may seem, there is something I have to do while I'm alive." Hyeon Gyu-ha glanced at In Yoo-shin behind him. Judging from his expression, it seemed like he was thinking, 'Even if I can't kill him in front of his eyes, wouldn't it be okay to cut off one of his arms?' So Jang Beom took a step forward. "Hey, aren't you ignoring me too much when I'm here?" "You can't beat me." "Can't Papa find a way to escape before he dies?" "If you shoot an arrow at me, I'll cut off Gong Tae-seong's leg right away." "If it's Papa, he’ll crawl and jump." "What are you two talking about with my body right now?" Contrary to his joke, Jang Beom really pulled Gandiva's bowstring, and Hyeon Gyu-ha also pulled out Balisarda. In Yoo-shin was at a loss as another fight was about to break out before his eyes. "Wait for a sec!" In the blink of an eye, a whale was floating in the air before their eyes. For a moment, they were surprised by the appearance of a whale so huge that it could not be contained in their field of vision, but Hyeon Gyu-ha immediately flew backwards and stood in front of In Yoo-shin. Jang Beom-do quickly raised his Gandhiva Bow high and muttered. "Hidden Boss? No, it's already been cleared and there was no dungeon break? Is it a new type of monster?" "No way!" The whale flapped its fins and cried out in a complaining voice. "How dare you compare me to some petty monster!" “…….” Everyone in the room, except for Gong Tae-seong, who was holding his forehead and sighing, opened his mouth. They couldn’t decide whether to be surprised by the fact that something that looked like a monster was speaking, or by the fact that what came out of its mouth was a thick Hamgyong dialect. The whale, which had been rolling its huge eyes, pretended to slam its face into the ground. "Stop bargaining, please spare me." "Why, why....... is the monster using the Hamgyong dialect? And the strongest Yukjin dialect at that......?" “Not a monster!” Hyeon Gyu-ha asked Jang Beom, who was confused. If it's Yukjin, then it's the area where it is in the Hoeryong province, where he was just a few hours ago, and it belongs there. "Do you understand what that means?" "Uh, uh, roughly...... My hometown is Cheongjin...... What I said earlier meant 'don't fight, just save me,' but were you talking about Tae-seong......?" “Hmm.” Hyeon Gyu-ha, who judged that there would be no immediate harm, lowered the Balisarda diagonally. He did not use the sword because he had not completely let his guard down. "There, monster." “No, I tell you!” "You mean no? Well, anyway, what's the relationship with Gong Tae-seong?" The whale did not answer right away, but rolled its large eyes and looked down at Gong Tae-seong. Gong Tae-seong only pressed his head down as if he had a headache, and showed no sign of trying to interfere. Well, now that the truth has been revealed, there's no way to cover it up. "I will indeed give birth to the king's son when I meet him." “……?” When Hyun Gyu-ha tilted his head, Jang Beom opened his mouth with a look of bewilderment. "Live long enough, and you even get days where you're translating a monster's dialect. She says she'll meet later and tell the king's son? Surely that's not you, is it? Haven't you gotten over your chunibyo yet?" "......It's roughly similar." A short sneer appeared at the corner of Hyeon Gyu-ha's mouth, and In Yoo-shin, who had been just opening his mouth at the mention of the king's son, flinched. The whale, who seemed about to say something, blinked. "Your Majesty, I will be going now. The others will come." The whales that had filled the sky disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Han Jun-su and Narsha's guild members came running, kicking up the smoky dust that still had the aftermath of the battle. “Guild leader!” The healer who witnessed the seriously injured Gong Tae-seong began to treat him quickly. He had not seen the giant whale floating in the air until just now. Judging by its size, he must have seen it as soon as he entered the dungeon. "Hu." Jang Beom looked astonished. "Jun-su- ya , did you see anything just now?" "If you're looking for a motherfucker I want to punch, he's right in front of me now.” “Jang Beom.” Gong Tae-seong's short order was an order not to bring up this matter to anyone else. Jang Beom shrugged his shoulders and brushed it off. "How did you find this dungeon?" "The guild leader hurriedly withdrew the people guarding this dungeon today. I came just in case." "Oh. You're smart. I thought you were only sensitive to useless things, but our Jun-su has good instincts." "Shut up. Just thinking about that phone call makes me want to rip my throat out." "Yep." Han Jun-su greeted Hyeon Gyu-ha and In Yoo-shin with a face that seemed to have aged ten years in the time they hadn't seen each other. "I don't know what happened....... Did the guild leader and hunter Hyeon fight? Is Yoo-shin- ssi  hurt anywhere? I have a healer here so I can treat you." "Ah, no. I'm fine." Han Jun-su didn’t mention that he would treat Hyeon Gyu-ha, but instead glared at Jang Beom. His eyes were fierce and demanded that he immediately explain the situation. Jang Beom scratched his cheek and moved his lips. "You know too. Gyu-ha and Papa are in a love triangle." "What?!" "The two of them fought over Yoo-shin." Not only Han Jun-su, but even In Yoo-shin looked at him with expressions that made his eyes look like they were going to pop out, but Jang Beom remained calm. Hyeon Gyu-ha and Gong Tae-seong frowned fiercely but remained silent. In any case, they both tacitly agreed that they should not bring up the topic of the heart or anything like that and just keep it quiet. Naturally, the guild members who knew Gong Tae-seong well did not believe him and muttered. “No way. The guild leader is always nagging the vice president……” "I'm honestly confident that I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that the guild leader stood in the rain in front of the Yangsa mansion for 7 nights and 8 days." Surprisingly, Han Jun-su closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them again and nodded. He understood that the truth would not be revealed and that he would try to cover it up. "Anyway, I understand." The healer who was treating Gong Tae-seong looked up with concern. "The wound isn't healing well. I think I need to start by purifying it." "Then first, we have to get out of the dungeon......." As Han Jun-su glanced at him, Hyeon Gyu-ha thought for a moment and then put his lips on In Yoo-shin's ear. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

CH 21   Without further ado, preparations for both the engagement and the wedding began. They wanted to celebrate in Korea and  Germany, unwilling to give up either place that had shaped them. Since the legal registration had to be done in Germany, they decided the wedding would be held there, while the engagement party would take place in Korea.   They decided to return to Korea for a short break, just long enough to breathe, to reconnect with their dear ones. The engagement party was small, only close friends and family.   “It still feels unreal…Our relationship is… you know, slightly different from before, now that we’re married.”   Chae Yoo-jung sat on the couch, looking at the ceiling in wonder. Although he was relaxed, he felt a bit tense in his shoulders as he hugged the pillow close to his chest, rubbing it.   “Then again……”   Before Chae Yoo-jung could finish his sentence, Yoo Ji-han appeared in front of him without a sound and nuzzled him. He sweetly finished Chae Yoo-jung’s words with a smile, warming his heart and soul irresistibly.   It was as if he were healing him, placing him in the embrace of a thousand dandelions, melting away the worries of the past and future and assuring him that he only needed to remain calm and relaxed, no matter what challenges were thrown their way.   “You see…”   Yoo Ji-han chuckled softly, reaching out to brush his thumb along Chae Yoo-jung’s arm.   “There’s no need to overthink things. We’ve already been together for a long time. Just look at how many years have gone by.”   His smile deepened, easy and familiar.   ‘My cute Yoo-jung- ah .’   “There’s no need to worry so much, we’ve lived together for years too. Hahaha. If we’ve made it this far, I think we’re doing pretty well. Don't you think, Yoo-jung-ah?”   The simple yet unspoken laughter molded into Chae Yoo-jung’s mind, his lips curling upward in response. Leaning closer to Yoo Ji-han, their lips met in a soft kiss, not for the sake of the mood, but to show that he accepted Yoo Ji-han’s words of advice.   “I wish my mind were as strong as yours, Hyung.”   Chae Yoo-jung swiftly averted his gaze, shyly, as he already knew what Yoo Ji-han would probably say after he had spoken without thinking much.   Yoo Ji-han looked at Chae Yoo-jung, one eyebrow raised. ‘Your mind is not weak, you’re just thinking too much.’   He chuckled.   “Why wouldn’t it be as strong as mine? After all, they say that couples who live together for more than two or three years start to share the same mindset over time.”   Yoo Ji-han flicked a finger against his own temple and smirked.   ‘Being sly like that……’   “That’s right.”   Chae Yoo-jung beamed a smile. All the necessary preparations were taking place, like selection of venue, picking suits, deciding on the food and decorations, and some add-on as well. There was a lot to be done, so there’s no time to spare.    Most of the tasks—like checking out the venue, tasting the food, and arranging extras, were handled by their friends or Yoo Ji-han’s parents, since they were in Korea. Meanwhile, Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han made sure to have their suits prepared in Germany in time to travel to Korea and begin their own preparations.   “Hey, breathe. I know I’m taking your chest measurements, but I want to get this done so I can submit it online. We’re lucky they called us today, otherwise, we wouldn’t get the suit in time…”   Yoo Ji-han had the measuring tape wrapped around Chae Yoo-jung’s chest, and Chae Yoo-jung, blushing, felt like he had forgotten how to breathe. They had both been so busy with preparations that they hadn’t had much time together.   Chae Yoo-jung’s quickened heartbeat could be faintly heard through the tips of Yoo Ji-han’s fingers that had brushed against him. The sensation made him blush unconsciously and look away for a few seconds. Noticing this, Chae Yoo-jung spoke in a teasing tone:   “The prideful Ji-han-ah is getting flustered~”   After quickly noting the measurement in his mind, Yoo Ji-han tightened the tape around Chae Yoo-jung, causing him to chuckle softly.   “It’s too tight, Hyung.”   He said, still continuing to smile.   Soon, the day to return to Korea arrived, and Yoo Ji-han and Chae Yoo-jung were ready to move again. Yoo Ji-han’s parents had invited them to stay at their place, since it was close to their workplaces and could help them, making settling in much easier.   [P.S - Note from HM: I actually need to finish this quickly so it will be rushed from this point onwards. This fanfic was scheduled to be only 10 chapters. And now it’s over 20 chapters. And I think I spent over a year making this fanfic as well. (Sarcasm) It’s insane how my brain/heart decides that this couple needs more couple moments.]   Some of Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han’s college friends from Germany had decided to come to Korea to celebrate their engagement. Yoo Ji-han’s old college friends also came to visit, eager to hang out with the couple, and Chae Yoo-jung was introduced to them.   Before Yoo Ji-han could stop them, to his surprise, they started “inspecting” how good of a person he was, asking questions like, “Will you take care of him?” while mockingly begging on the floor as if they were his parents.   The corner of Yoo Ji-han’s lips twitched before he erupted in mock rage, playfully smacking the heads of those who were teasing him and laughing. Despite the chaos, everything was going great for both of them.   Chae Yoo-jung’s parents were notified of the engagement, while the secretary still had to keep an eye on him to make sure no trouble came from Chae Yoo-jung’s side. When they saw it wasn’t causing any scandal… they didn’t care one bit. Yoo Kyung-seok, Chae Yoo-jung’s cousin, had received the formal invitation to the engagement. Sweeping away the tears that had been pooling in his eyes, he sighed in relief. This time, the invitation had come from Chae Yoo-jung himself, who had already told Yoo Ji-han that he would take the initiative, this time.   Soon, the day of the engagement party arrived, and everything went very smoothly. The reception was small, like, only about 30 to 40 people, but it was filled with Yoo Ji-han’s parents, a few family members, and friends, the people who had always been by their side.   It was a very simple ceremony, as Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han only exchanged rings and shared their vows, promising to always be happy together. Chae Yoo-jung expressed how much he wanted to marry Yoo Ji-han here, despite the fact that same-sex marriage is still not legally recognized in Korea. Yoo Ji-han, in turn, said that he was happy to be doing this in their native country, with their dear ones by their side. A few tears slipped from their eyes, but they wiped them away quickly, still smiling.   They even included a short presentation, like a vlog, about their college days in Germany, which brought tears to Yoo Ji-han’s parents. They also announced that the wedding would be held in Germany in about six months.   Yoo Kyung-seok, along with Kang Ji-hye, enjoyed talking with a few of Chae Yoo-jung’s German classmates about how cute he had been when they first met him as a child. Kang Ji-hye also shared a bit about Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han’s love story in the game ‘Zenoris’, where they had met, and how flirtatious Chae Yoo-jung had been, despite Yoo Ji-han initially rejecting him.   Their German classmates recounted how Yoo Ji-han had boldly kissed Chae Yoo-jung during language class, stories they had heard from their Asian friends and others. Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han grew flustered, exchanging shy glances and smiles. Meanwhile, Yoo Ji-han’s parents and some other friends sneaked in, catching every word of their conversation.   Everyone enjoyed themselves, spending their time talking, eating, and drinking.   Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han stayed a bit apart from the crowd, leaning against the wall beside a table with drinks. “I love you, Hyung.”   Chae Yoo-jung leaned in and whispered in Yoo Ji-han’s ear, making him blush. Yoo Ji-han glanced at him, then at the others happily chatting around them, before turning back to Chae Yoo-jung and kissing him gently. After the quick kiss, he smiled brightly.   “I love you too, Yoo-jung-ah.”   And thus, a happy ending… with Yoo Ji-han and Chae Yoo-jung looking forward to a beautiful life together after their marriage, exchanging vows to love each other eternally.   Fin. — MC: I kinda got attached to it and was thinking whether I should extend it to 25 chapters or not.

CH 20 Before long, Chae Yoo-jung’s inner hole was properly stretched. Yoo Ji-han slipped the condom onto his penis and entered the warm hole that he prepared very carefully. Feeling something foreign entering the entrance, Chae Yoo-jung’s fuzzy eyes gazed upon Yoo Ji-han’s body. Noticing that, Yoo Ji-han decided to flip Chae Yoo-jung’s body backwards and Chae Yoo-jung looked back, trying to understand what had just happened.  ‘I’m still shocked by Ji-han-ah's strength.’ A stinging sensation began carving inside his hole, as Yoo Ji-han slowly swept his dick inside all at once, causing Chae Yoo-jung to forget breathing for a second. Chae Yoo-jung’s back and neck blushed, while Yoo Ji-han moved in and out repeatedly. Soon Chae Yoo-jung felt that he can’t resist more. “Hy….Hyung….I’m….ngh….I’m coming…” Yoo Ji-han still moving, sensing that he too, doesn’t have more and he will be coming too, he smiled. “Come, my dear Yoo-jung-ah…come.” Before Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Ji-han climaxed, Yoo Ji-han bit Chae Yoo-jung’s shoulder, making Chae Yoo-jung scream from too much pleasure. After they came, Yoo Ji-han teeth let Chae Yoo-jung’s shoulder, then he licked a bit the mark. His head got up and he looked at Chae Yoo-jung’s face, then he looked at what mess they did. He saw the trail of residual on the sheet.  “Ngh.” “Ugh.” Taking out his penis to get the condom out, Yoo Ji-han spoke first.  “Should we switch?” This phrase surprised Chae Yoo-jung the most as he was not expecting that. Considering they have only taken turns every time they decided to had sex and not while having the sex, Chae Yoo-jung was a bit skeptical, but nodded with a little smile. Yoo Ji-han, who had already been half-way prepping himself, pulled Chae Yoo-jung’s hands, right after Chae Yoo-jung was finished with wiping away the excess semen and putting on the condom. Chae Yoo-jung gasped as he felt like looking away but couldn’t. He could only simply feel his face being red as if being grilled on the fire, while his fingers traced the end of Yoo Ji-han’s back, fixated on the single point. “W-wait…..” Chae Yoo-jung called out to Yoo Ji-han. Yoo Ji-han’s movements came to an abrupt stop, realizing that he was getting a bit ahead without Chae Yoo-jung’s consent.  Faintly placing over his fingers around Chae Yoo-jung’s face and pulling him closer for a kiss, Yoo Ji-han slipped his tongue onto Chae Yoo-jung’s and tugged it tightly, letting go of Chae Yoo-jung’s awkwardness. While Chae Yoo-jung was flustered, Yoo Ji-han kissed the corner of his lips, before smirking. “Feel free to do whatever you want. There’s nothing to be afraid of.” “Thank you, Hyung!” Chae Yoo-jung wept quietly, his tears warm against his cheeks, as he gently cupped Yoo Ji-han’s face and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. As dreamy as it may have seemed, for a few moments, it was hard for Chae Yoo-jung to accept how far they had come together in life. Overwhelmed, he burst into tears, letting them fall freely for several minutes. It was deeply heartwarming to realize that Yoo Ji-han had been by his side through the hard and sorrowful days, as well as the happy and peaceful ones. After staring into each other’s eyes, Chae Yoo-jung, who had stopped crying, began to curve his fingers towards Yoo Ji-han’s nipples. Unable to resist any longer, he leaned closer and then bite on them, squeezing them between his fingers as well. Having done that a few times, the nipples became red and erupted from the skin.  Feeling the slight sensation of pleasure, Yoo Ji-han motioned to make movements on his own as well, such as kissing, hugging and ruffling Chae Yoo-jung’s hair. “I’m a bit sensitive when you touch my hair like that.” Yoo Ji-han squeezed and ruffled Chae Yoo-jung’s hair, messing it up, but it was fine. After fully prepping Yoo Ji-han’s hole with gel, Chae Yoo-jung lifted Yoo Ji-han’s waist and placed him upon his shaft. While snuggling around his chest, he placed soft pecks around his chest as well as small cuts, which further infested the climax of his pleasure. The head of Yoo Ji-han bobbed against Chae Yoo-jung’s shoulder as he unsuccessfully tried to muffle his noises. “Whoa…. Uh….” Just when he placed Yoo Ji-han’s waist up and down to fully settle inside, Yoo Ji-han’s hips arched and his insides squeezed. Warmth enveloped near his stomach and his eyes flickered as the area of pleasure continued to shift. Tears slowly drifted from the corner of his eyes as his fingertips scrawled against Chae Yoo-jung’s back, scratching it.  Yoo Ji-han, who got nervous as to whether he had scratched him, suddenly felt his back tightened up as well as the electrifying sensation coursed through him, stirring an unexpected thrill. “Are you oh….okay….?” Letting go from Chae Yoo-jung’s embrace, Yoo Ji-han arched backwards and lost his body balance without having a place to reach for support. Chae Yoo-jung came to support as he pulled him up from his waist. “Ugh…. Ah!” Before he regained his composure from the pulsating pleasure that just sought out, he pushed in again and Chae Yoo-jung snuggled against Yoo Ji-han’s chest and ruffled his hair against him, looking at him cutely. “A-again? O-okay…. Uh–”  After several times, Yoo Ji-han ejaculated again until his front was dry and Chae Yoo-jung, having the energy of the golden retriever, wouldn’t stop there.  “I’m beat. I’m too tired to move a single beat.” Yoo Ji-han lay on the bed sheet, which seemed to have been filled with bodily fluids to a point he wasn’t sure whether he was getting a headache from the smell or dehydration of water. “Let’s do it one more time. You can rail on me.” Chae Yoo-jung clung onto Yoo Ji-han’s penis as he stroked it to harden itself. Clutching his bottom lips, Yoo Ji-han wept out a small noise of embarrassment. The tips of his ears become bright red.  ‘I didn’t expect Chae Yoo-jung to suddenly take initiative like that….I love it.’ Putting on the condom over Yoo Ji-han’s shaft, Chae Yoo-jung placed himself over it, struggling a bit. He shivered as it stretched inside him, enlarging suddenly. Tinkling all over his body, he slammed down on it, making himself gasping for air. Yoo Ji-han, who was being pressed down, shriveled his legs, trying to relieve his pleasure, and let out short gasps.  “Ha… ha….” Sweat mixed with semen filled the place as both lay together, enveloping their bodies together for another round. They continued until both were too exhausted to move. --- Credits: Writer: Hoshi Miya Co-writer: Miry We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

CH 19 Just as they stepped through the front door, Chae Yoo-jung pressed heavily against Yoo Ji-han’s shoulder and back, his hands tracing carefully over his collarbone, now broader than he remembered. Leaning in, Yoo Ji-han tenderly wiped away his tears with his tongue and pressed a gentle kiss to him. Chae Yoo-jung’s hands moved to his chest, cupping and molding it with a careful intimacy. ‘It’s so perfectly shaped… even bigger than my whole hand. I want to suck it so much…’ The lips kept entangling towards each other, as if chained to a string of never-ending honey. As never-ending as it may seem, it finally broke after a few minutes, and a series of gasps flowed from Chae Yoo-jung’s mouth. When the relief of tension faded away from Chae Yoo-jung’s body, Chae Yoo-jung felt like his body was about to collapse and his body almost slipped down. As soon as Yoo Ji-han saw what was about to happen, he reached out to hold Chae Yoo-jung’s body. Yoo Ji-han lifted Chae Yoo-jung as if he weighed nothing. He leaned in and pecked at Chae Yoo-jung’s forehead, before speaking. “There’s no need to rush, my Yoo-jung-ah.” Yoo Ji-han looked into Chae Yoo-jung’s eyes and smiled gently, with no ill intentions behind it. Chae Yoo-jung, still caught off guard, didn’t respond at all, his gaze was unfocused, his expression was dazed. ‘I wonder why I’m shocked. I can’t even tell…… Is this what they call ‘Brain Freeze’?’ “Let’s take a bath first.” Yoo Ji-han said calmly. At those words, Chae Yoo-jung finally blinked. His shoulders tensed as he became belatedly aware of how close Ji-han was standing, and of the warmth lingering in that gentle smile. “…A bath?” Chae Yoo-jung repeated, his voice was coming out slower than intended. Yoo Ji-han’s smile deepened just a fraction. That was when something in Chae Yoo-jung’s mind gave way, like a taut string finally snapping, and his senses returned in a sudden rush. His legs weakened for a moment as the tension drained from him, and Yoo Ji-han instinctively loosened his hold to let him stand properly again. But the next second, Yoo Ji-han was pulled back into an embrace. Chae Yoo-jung clung to him, arms wrapped tightly around Ji-han’s waist, refusing to let go. He pressed his face against Ji-han’s neck, breathing in slowly, as if grounding himself in that familiar warmth. Burying himself in Yoo Ji-han’s comfort, Chae Yoo-jung mumbled, his voice low and muffled. “I want to take a bath with you, Hyung.” He thought to himself, how soft his shoulders have become. He unconsciously tightened his grip, and he clasped their hands together as if seeking reassurance, as if confirming both his own feelings and Yoo Ji-han’s intentions. Yoo Ji-han didn’t pull away. After a brief pause, he leaned closer and whispered in response, his voice barely more than a breath. “Unn.” They went to the bathroom together, and even as they entered the bath, the quiet tension between them only lingered. Slipping the clothes off their bodies and letting them fall to the ground, Chae Yoo-jung profusely focused his eyes and hand towards Yoo Ji-han’s body and exploring it, feeling the warmth tingling into the body. Chae Yoo-jung’s hands were rather colder than Yoo Ji-han’s body, so it made Yoo Ji-han flinch. Watching his expressions was amusing to Chae Yoo-jung. While standing only with a black shirt almost gone from his hands, Yoo Ji-han could barely strip the clothes off Chae Yoo-jung’s body in the meanwhile. As Chae Yoo-jung fiddled his fingers throughout Yoo Ji-han’s body, he finally also got the last piece of cloth out from him. “Wait!” Chae Yoo-jung staggered at those words and froze. Yoo Ji-han took this chance to get around him and pulled off clothes. Playfully putting on a mischievous smile, Yoo Ji-han fully tripped him down as Chae Yoo-jung controlled himself from getting his hands on Yoo Ji-han so that Yoo Ji-han doesn’t get distracted. After they both had their clothes taken off their bodies, they stepped into the bathtub, which had finally filled with water. “I don’t think the two of us can fit. So, I’ll use the shower instead, Ji-han-ah.” Chae Yoo-jung stepped into the shower area while Yoo Ji-han moved toward the tub and entered in the warm water. The two spaces were connected, close enough that neither of them truly felt alone. After finishing his bath, Yoo Ji-han quietly slipped behind Chae Yoo-jung and wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into a gentle hug. This frightened Chae Yoo-jung and tingled his chest, as he came to the realization that Yoo Ji-han was rubbing the tip of his fingers against the nipples of his chest. “It seems like it will take a while to feel it…… theoretically, it should be rubbed more around the chest before rubbing the nipple, so that the nerves there are more active.” He continued to knead the chest and let his hands roam over it, feeling more of the skin in his hands. Hearing Yoo Ji-han’s explanation and how his voice rubbed against his eardrums, sending shivers down his spine, the shaft around Chae Yoo-jung’s hips rose with the sudden blood rush. Yoo Ji-han’s penis stroked on Chae Yoo-jung’s back, which further sent pleasure elevation to his brain nerves. “I want to see you get off only being stroked.” Yoo Ji-han leaned closely and whispered directly into his ear. Although he couldn’t see Chae Yoo-jung’s face because of the height difference, he can still imagine his lover’s face. Muffled moans resonated across the walls of the bathroom. With each moment passing, the rubbing increased, and more blood rushed to Chae Yoo-jung’s face. Considering that the pleasure exceeded, Chae Yoo-jung bobbed his head forward to which his upper body followed along, but Yoo Ji-han hugged his back suddenly. Chae Yoo-jung looked backward and made eye contact with Yoo Ji-han. Chae Yoo-jung’s face was flushed with the corner of the eyes wrinkled and tears almost about to come out. Yoo Ji-han’s brain, froze for a sec, with all the erotic thoughts that stormed into his mind. When he twisted the shower handle, Yoo Ji-han bolted out of the bathroom, while dragging Chae Yoo-jung along the way. Without saying another word, he yanked him into the bed. Taking the bottle of gel out of the bedside table, that was next to their bed, he squeezed some gel onto his palm and slipped his fingers into the anus, although it bit back, squeezing with all its warmth to let it remain inside. With further thrusting his fingers upwards, Chae Yoo-jung jerked upwards to not let it reach the pleasure zone, the prostate. To prevent Chae Yoo-jung’s head from hitting the bed frame and keep him in place, Yoo Ji-han leaned upwards over Chae Yoo-jung, wrapping his hands around his waist. Arching his waist, he wriggled his body, before Yoo Ji-han could reach for the erogenous zone. But that didn’t help to be honest. Soon after, the tingling sensation of scraping the inner walls exceeded and climaxed, overwhelming Chae Yoo-jung’s body and blurring his vision. “Ngh!... hyung… A-ugh! Hyung! Ah……” Closing his eyes to not see, but the sensation remains in his brain as Yoo Ji-han starts to expand more with his fingers. It was then that he realized that his fingers were thicker, as he put more fingers. It felt too tight as if it was going to explode or break. ‘Watching Chae Yoo-jung’s expressions change is so damn cute.’ Yoo Ji-han’s face turned blank, which hides his inner selfish thoughts. He roughly kissed Chae Yoo-jung, intertwining lips and feeling the saliva and warmth flowing back and forth. They slapped their tongues together, slipping saliva over their tongues as if feeding each other to their desires of devouring the other. He turned serious to expand it properly, instead of teasing Chae Yoo-jung. MR: Damn Yoo Ji-han, you are something :) --- Credits: Writer: Hoshi Miya Co-writer: Miry We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

The explosion did not stop at one time. It continued in a chain reaction, blasting Hyeon Gyu-ha. What the Gong Tae-seong ejected was an extremely compressed flame. It was only the size of a fingernail, but when it exploded, it became a firestorm of overwhelming power that could easily devour a single-family home. It didn’t stop at just the explosion. The place where Gong Tae-seong lured Hyeon Gyu-ha was between the buildings that were built in layers. The walls that were caught in the explosion collapsed, the main beams tilted, and the roof collapsed. Hyeon Gyu-ha was in the middle of it all. “Kieeee.” The monsters who were caught in the explosion kept screaming in their final moments. “Tch.” Hyeon Gyu-ha gritted his teeth and maintained the barrier that shook with each impact of the explosion. Flames raged everywhere, and his vision was blurred by the smoky dust from the collapsing buildings. 'Should I open my eyes first?’ When the explosion had subsided somewhat, Hyeon Gyu-ha took a step forward to push away the dust. As soon as he felt something hit the force field, another chain of explosions began to occur. Hyeon Gyu-ha realized that compressed flames that would explode with even the slightest shock were spread out like landmines everywhere. He tried to figure out the flow of mana, but it wasn't easy because the dungeon had an unusually high concentration of mana. 'I thought about it quite a bit.’ He laughed softly. It was a trap that had been carefully calculated and designed to hunt me down. A vast palace with many buildings that would collapse from the impact of an explosion, a dungeon with a high concentration of mana that was difficult to track. If you move rashly, another series of explosions will occur. Gong Tae-seong's sword, completely unharmed by his flames, will fly in without missing a beat. Hyeon Gyu-ha pressed his forehead with his palm. The headache caused by the rapid depletion of mana from flying hundreds of kilometers at full speed from Hoeryong to Seoul had subsided somewhat. It was time to squeeze out mana again. Explosives scattered everywhere like mines. I've already experienced a dungeon with a similar boss. 'It was a dungeon with the Judgement of Paris as the background, right?’ Hyeon Gyu-ha admits that the flames of the Gong Tae-seong are several times more powerful than the explosion of the Golden Apple that appeared as the boss monster. But that is not the problem. Hyeon Gyu-ha decided to repeat the strategy he had used back then. You can't move even a single step because there are landmines scattered everywhere? Then just blow them all up. Hyeon Gyu-ha raised both arms high, wrapping himself in thicker layers of force field to protect himself. Then, in one breath, he slammed the weight down onto the floor. The compressed flames that had been densely packed exploded all at once, and the world was dyed white. Could this be the middle of a battlefield where hundreds and thousands of bombs exploded at the same time? Everywhere you looked was being consumed by pure white flames. As if to prove that the nickname of the Emperor of Fire was not an empty one. If it hadn't been for the protection of the station master, a loud noise that would have ruptured all of our eardrums shook the heavens and earth, and the white flames that burst out fiercely swept in all directions. The heat of the flames and thick smoke swirled around like a storm. Kururung! Thousands of rooms were burning, collapsing, and burning down one after another. Countless monsters were blown to death without leaving a body behind. Even in the midst of the layered force fields, the shock from the explosion continued to strike. His vision was dizzyingly shaken. No . Hyeon Gyu-ha spat out a sip of the blood that had suddenly risen up inside him and corrected himself. It was because my headache had started again. But it didn’t matter. This level of penalty doesn’t bother me. Hyeon Gyu-ha narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. He liked the flow of flames, not mana. The smoke and white flames were so thick that he couldn’t even see in front of his nose, but there was a way to find Gong Tae-seong. Gong Tae-seong was not harmed by his own abilities. So…. 'I found it.’ The area where the flame concentration is the weakest. Kwagagagagak!  The invisible blade that emerged from the sword of the dead split the ground and dashed forward fiercely, cutting the demon's hand in two. The flames and smoke from the sword pressure cleared, revealing a gap that gave a glimpse of Gong Tae-seong. Just before the energy released split the void in half, a black flame shot up. The black flame, completely different from the white flames he had used so far, grew in size while consuming even the formless energy. Hyeon Gyu-ha furrowed his brows. It seemed like he had a hidden plan. “What is that?” “Avīci hell.” (refers to the lowest and most severe of the Buddhist hells, a place of incessant suffering.) Was it the hellfire of Avīci? Hyeon Gyu-ha finished his thoughts and kicked the ground. As he pulled back the force field, the smell of blood from the monsters who had exploded and the pungent smell of flesh burning hit him. Without paying attention, he swung his sword in an instant, striking the air. Gong Tae-seong leisurely moved his sword covered in black flames. Even a sword that wasn’t even an artifact would melt without being able to pierce through this flame. Kaaaaang!  Swords clashed. The blades did not melt in the fire of hell, but the swordsmanship was torn apart. Gong Tae-seong furrowed his eyebrows. Suddenly, what Hyeon Gyu-ha had in his hand was not the sword he had been using until now, but the sword that cut through mystery, the Balisarda (a weapon that appears in an epic poem written by an Italian poet). "You really are carrying around a lot of artifacts." "There's a use for this." Aside from the fact that he possesses the artifact, his innate combat sense that allows him to quickly judge which weapon will be used as a counter in an urgent moment is what is most threatening. Even though he knew this, Gong Tae-seong's face hardened fiercely. In an instant, sword strikes were exchanged and sparks flew from the blades. As the hellfire intensely heated their surroundings, Balisarda cut through the flames, filling the air with a chilling cold. Gong Tae-seong's forearm glowed once, and the power of the artifact was imbued into the blade. Woong-woong-woong.  The ominous wails of resentful spirits spread. Clang! Gong Tae-seong blocked Hyeon Gyu-ha’s sword that was slashing down from the upper left. A heavy force was applied from above to below. Clang . The blades scratched each other, making a creepy sound. Hyeon Gyu-ha twisted the corners of his mouth at a close distance where he could feel his breathing. "You, is that Kenmyōren (a legendary Japanese weapon)? You Japanese sword-wielding bastard." "Fuck. It's because of compatibility. I'm sick of Choi Jin-hyuk's bullshit, so shut up." The Japanese Yokai Sword, an artifact from the Japanese battlefield that could draw out tens of thousands of vengeful spirits, and the Hellfire that was also introduced to Japan. As he said, it was a perfect combination with him. However, Hyeon Gyu-ha coldly laughed at him. "Compatibility can be overcome with effort." He liberated some of the Turkish artifacts without taking out Zulfikar and placed them on the common Italian artifact, Balisarda. [Partially releases the bound artifact 'Successor Padishah's Eternal Conquest'.] Gong Tae-seong paused. He had heard from the Narsha Guild member who witnessed the battle at the time about how Hyeon Gyu-ha had handled the power of the artifacts he had liberated while hunting the 'King Who Respects Every Blade of Grass'. However, it was different now. The pressure that weighs down on the Balisarda as it gains strength is second to none, but this eerie, haunting sound of the blade making a buzzing sound. "Is this how you do it, bringing only the souls of those who died on the battlefield?" “.....Crazy guy.” I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything else. This, he's saying this was the first time he used this technique after seeing someone else's? Just because you possess an artifact related to the battlefield, it doesn't mean that anyone can easily draw out the vengeful spirit and use it as power. If that were the case, dealers would have been after it without exception. Gong Tae-seong chewed on the curse words with his teeth. Effort? What kind of nonsense is that? It wasn't effort, but an innate and overwhelming talent that allowed him to skillfully use artifacts while squeezing his mana while running from Hamgyeong-do to Seoul, whether it was the Gaema Plateau or somewhere else. Gong Tae-seong summarized this in one word. "You're like a monster." “Correct that to a rat.” “Shut up!” He swung his blade fiercely. The Balisarda that bounced off spun around in the air and stabbed him in the abdomen. At the same time, flames blazed beneath his feet, engulfing Gong Tae-seong. If his flames were connected to the flames, he could teleport at close range. In the blink of an eye, Gong Tae-seong disappeared from Hyeon Gyu-ha’s sight and appeared behind him with a blazing flame. Gong Tae-seong’s hand, which was about to draw Kenmyōren, stopped. Balisarda, who was clearly facing forward, was aiming for his neck at the back at some point. "I've seen this skill before, do you think I'd miss it?" “…….” A cold sweat ran down the back of Gong Tae-seong's neck, which was not affected by the heat of the fire. For the first time, he thought that he might lose. A red murderous aura flickered in Hyeon Gyu-ha's eyes as he looked at him. The gate was open on the rooftop of a certain apartment building. Jang Beom, who had grabbed In Yoo-shin’s arm, created a wind and reached the rooftop in one go. The guild members guarding the gate had been withdrawn by Gong Tae-seong in advance, so the area was quiet. "8- seya . Is this the right place?" 8- se , who had been quietly sitting in the pouch, wrinkled his nose. "Yoo-shin- ah . Don't you trust me, Hyung?" "If you were in my shoes, would you believe me, Hunter Jang?" " Unn , I won’t believe. But how does that hamster know where Papa is?" " Gyu !" 8- se  nodded, saying, "Here we are." Then he jumped down from the pouch and waved his front paw as if to bid me farewell. “Are you going to wait here?” “Squeak!” "Okay. You're probably scared of the dungeon, so it's better for you to wait outside. You have to hide well." Jang Beom stopped In Yoo-shin, who was about to jump into the gate. "Papa and Gyu-ha are fighting, do you think you’re going to be okay if you go inside? If they're fighting at the entrance, you'll be in trouble the moment you enter." As he spoke, Jang Beom made a gesture of cutting his neck with his thumb. In Yoo-shin also hesitated. It was a valid reason. "Then what should I do? I can't just wait for Gyu-ha to come out." "Papa might come out." “It’s Gyu-ha- ssi .” "Oh. Turns out he's in the same category as Jun-su" Jang Beom shrugged and put the bracelet he took out from the inventory on his wrist. "It's a shield core, so come here and stick to it." As mana was poured into the core, a purple transparent membrane spread out in a circular shape and surrounded the two people. "The range is narrow, so stay close behind me. Should I hold your hand?" "No." In Yoo-shin stood behind him, putting his hand in his pocket in case someone grabbed his hand. Jang Beom, who had a smirk on his face, walked ahead. A feeling of dizziness flashed through his head. In Yoo-shin, who had passed through the gate, opened his eyes wide in shock at the sight before him. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

Starting from the gatehouse at the entrance to the dungeon, there was nothing intact. Only the remains of a collapsed and burnt-out building and the traces of a burnt-out garden were scattered about. What kind of fight had it been? "Oh, wow. Those two really nailed it." Jang Beom took pictures of the surroundings with his cell phone. “What are you doing?” "To post on Instagram." Does that matter now? In Yoo-shin, who was becoming impatient, did something he would never have done to someone he was not even close to under any other circumstances. "Hurry up, hurry up." "Uh huh. Wait a minute." As he pushed his back, Jang Beom chuckled and pushed me while filming the surroundings. The playfulness didn’t last long. When he saw the remains of the pavilion, which had no trace of its original existence, and the blazing flames in the distance, he put his phone away and took out his Gandiva instead. "They're probably fighting inside, but it's dangerous to get close. I can't put out Papa's fire." “……” Although he was extremely anxious, In Yoo-shin couldn't just urge him to go inside. "By the way, it seems like most of the monsters were annihilated. How many of them died......." It was before Jang Beom had finished speaking. [There are 10 surviving demons in the dungeon.] The number of monsters decreased in an instant. [There are two surviving demons in the dungeon.] [Only one monster survived in the dungeon.] [The dungeon's monsters have been annihilated.] [The dungeon boss, 'The Bell No One Answers' appears.] Jang Beom was terrified. "No, you're crazy. This dungeon was reset this morning, and those two got caught up in a fight and all the monsters were wiped out?" Before the astonishment had even ended, the earth began to shake and rise with a grand, thick bell sound. The rounded up land formed the shape of an artificial mountain with two zelkova trees planted on it. In the foreground, a corpse was hanging from a tree with its hair down and wearing a yellow dragon robe, and in the background, a corpse in eunuch attire was hanging from a tree. Perhaps the mountain itself was the boss monster of the dungeon. Up until that point, it was fine. The problem was the location.  Jang Beom gulped. "Isn't the location a bit…… close to us?" "Oh, that's right......." It was already a large mountain, nearly 50 meters high, but it looked even bigger when it was closer. In Yoo-shin’s feet hesitated and took a step back. Before he could even take a few steps back, the ground on the high mountain shook and dozens of roots sprang out. Jang Beom was startled and hugged In Yoo-shin’s waist. A small whirlwind formed beneath his feet and blew them backwards. "None of the tentacle monsters that the advisory scholars have speculated about as boss mobs have been mentioned as horror movie monsters!" As he said, the two hanging corpses swaying on the tree were a terrifying sight in and of themselves. If it weren’t daytime in the dungeon, I might have screamed. The problem was that the endless tentacle-like roots were what diluted the horror. He quickly distanced himself from the others, but the body of the 'bell that no one responds to' was so huge that it didn't make much of a difference. Jang Beom pulled Gandiva's bowstring with all his might. When a single white arrow was caught, he shot it into the sky. The arrow flew into the sky, passed the peak, and the moment it bent downward, it split into dozens of arrows and struck down. Pababak!  Dozens of arrows accompanied by a gust of wind struck the 'bell that no one responds to', followed by a thick cloud of dust. The roots snapped, and among them, the thickest root in the center had large holes all over it, but it was such a huge body. It was not a decisive blow. "Hey! You two guys over there! Even if you fight, fight while killing the boss mob! There's In Yoo-shin here!" Jang Beom, who was shouting in annoyance, took off his bracelet and threw it at In Yoo-shin. "You know how to inject mana? Activate it and hide behind the rock over there. I'll lure the boss and buy him some time." "If you give me this, Hunter Jang- nim !" "You can't fight while your shield is up!" Jang Beom didn't even listen to In Yoo-shin's answer and created a whirlwind to lift himself into the sky. "Ugh. If Papa had been here, he could have burned it down with fire." The longbow, longer than a person's height, was once again filled with a shining arrow. However, In Yoo-shin did not need to run away with the shield core. A familiar figure appeared in the distant sky. Even before the arrow was fired from Gandiva, the debris of the collapsed palace flew up and down on the body of the 'bell that no one answered', and then it fell down. It was quite ironic to see the corpse wearing the emperor's robes and the gold-plated throne thrown down. The shock to his entire body seemed to be greater than when he had been attacked by Jang Beom earlier. The 'bell sound that no one responds to', which had no mouth and could not scream, twisted its huge body as if it was having a seizure. The majestic sound of the bell began to mix with the sound of metal. Jang Beom clicked his tongue as he picked up Gandhiva. “That’s so fast.” In Yoo-shin quickly reached out his hand to Hyeon Gyu-ha, who came down next to him without paying any attention to him. “Gyu-ha- ssi !” I had been thinking about him since I saw him at the restaurant. If I asked him if he was okay, he would say he was okay even if he was on the verge of death. In Yoo-shin grabbed him without warning and put a buff on him. The face that had been as pale as a corpse without any blood regained color and the exhausted mana quickly returned. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had held his breath for a moment, smiled faintly. “Are you hurt anywhere?” "I'm fine! I can heal more too." Even though they had just been in a fierce battle, seeing him worry about me made me feel like something inside my heart was going to burst. In Yoo-shin quickly examined him, trying to control his emotions. He didn’t seem to have any major injuries, but there seemed to be minor burns here and there. The hand that had been hastily stretched forward was caught by Hyeon Gyu-ha. Even though he had clearly restored his energy, the hand that was holding him was trembling slightly, so In Yoo-shin kept his mouth shut. Hyeon Gyu-ha quietly pressed his lips against In Yoo-shin’s fingertips with a shallow sigh. His lips were extremely cold. "I'm glad you're okay." “Gyu-ha- ssi ……” In Yoo-shin held the empty space with his eyes, and his lips moved briefly before closing them again. Hyeon Gyu-ha swallowed a bitter smile and closed his eyes. He probably checked the status window. He couldn’t say anything else because he knew what my emotions would be like on the status window. "......Every time Yoo-shin- ssi  worries about me, I think of that little boy from 19 years ago." "Uh?" "He was so young and small, he couldn't do anything and would have died right away if I wasn't there......." Above In Yoo-shin’s face, who was tilting his head because he didn’t quite understand what he was saying, the image of the little boy who was holding his hand tightly and crying came to mind. That small warmth that was crying out of concern for Hyeon Gyu-ha getting hurt while not being able to control his own fear. Did I want this person to depend on me completely like that child? How terribly selfish. Even though I would have to leave him someday. As the saying goes, even when In Yoo-shin didn't meet him, he lived his life on his own without any difficulties. Even if he suddenly disappeared, his life wouldn't change. Unlike himself, who couldn't live properly without In Yoo-shin. Hyeon Gyu-ha bit his lower lip and pretended to smile as he added. Warmth slowly spread from the spot where In Yoo-shin’s hand had touched. "It's a good thing Yoo-shin- ssi  isn't as weak as that kid." "I'm weaker than 8- se ......." "Nope. Yoo-shin- ssi  is stronger than someone like me." Before In Yoo-shin could answer, Jang Beom's cold voice rang out from above the whirlwind. "Guys, can we continue the heart-warming reunion next time and take care of the boss first?" The 'bell sound that no one responds to' that had been hit by Hyeon Gyu-ha's attack had recovered and was wriggling its body. Hyeon Gyu-ha squeezed In Yoo-shin's hand one last time and then let go. "I'll be back as soon as I finish." The sound of the bells that had been ringing in the distance gradually ceased. The fires of hell that burned and destroyed everything had long since died down. Gong Tae-seong sat with his back against the split wooden pillar, panting heavily. The blade, which was imbued with the spirit of the dead, would cause the wound to rot when cut. Thanks to this, the bleeding was not severe, but it was obvious which wound would be fatal, the one that was bleeding or the one that was rotting. "Papa, are you alive?" “I’m dead.” "Oh, Kenmyōren is broken too. I worked hard to get that to match the attribute artifact." “It’s useless against monsters that don’t meet the standards.” Gong Tae-seong laughed in vain as he recalled Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had flown away without looking back as soon as he heard Jang Beom's shout that In Yoo-shin was in the dungeon right before cutting off his leg. Jang Beom, crouching down next to him, opened his lips and looked intently at the wound. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

Hyeon Gyu-ha's expression wavered for the first time. He understood the meaning of the words and was shocked, then doubted his own ears, then murderous intent, then murderous intent again. "It doesn't matter who told you that or how you know ®AÇ right now. Why are you bringing Yoo-shin-ssi into this?!" As his emotions grew more intense, ripples spread through the air and the pavement on the ground shook. That kind of thing. That kind of thing. Gong Tae-seong smiled bitterly as he repeated his words. The lifelong wish of being able to give up everything was just 'that kind of thing' to someone. "Yeah, that's it. If you wanted to make him lose his senses completely by causing blood to rush to his head, you should have killed him instead of just cutting off contact with Inyushin." It was a shallow provocation. If he had been the usual Hyeon Gyu-ha, he would have ignored it rather than falling for it. But the person Gong Tae-seong brought up was In Yoo-shin. “……” The emotion disappeared from Hyeon Gyu-ha’s face. The moment he stomped his foot, a black shadow rushed in like lightning and reached right in front of Gong Tae-seong. Gong Tae-seong snapped his fingers. Flames shot up and a blade emerged from the gap and aimed at Hyeon Gyu-ha. - What? "You know that restaurant Il Tramonto? There, Papa and Gyu-ha got into a light fight and the glass window broke, the wall was broken, and the interior was destroyed, that's how it ended." - what?! "I'd like to rule it as a gas explosion or something, but the commotion is bigger than I thought, so I think it'll be difficult. Oh, I don't know why Papa made such a fuss in the middle of the city. Since he already lured Gyu-ha here, I wish he went to a quiet place." - So where is the guild leader now! "Beom doesn’t know." - hey! "I think there must have been a lot of eyewitness accounts by now. Since Gyu-ha came in from outside, there might have been someone who took a picture with their phone. You do a good job of handling the situation. I'll just trust you." - No, wait! How can I resolve this when I don't even know why they fought?! Are you sure they're still fighting?! "Beom doesn’t know." - Hey! Hey! Jang Beom! "I'm hungry. I have to go eat, so I'll hang up now." - Hey, you little shit! Aren't you going to speak properly?! Are you a hunter? "Uhuh, Jun-su. I love you too." Jang Beom, who had kissed Han Jun-su while making a squeaky sound while hearing his loud swearing, took out the hands-free. Then, he immediately turned off the phone that was calling again. "When I go back, Jun-su will probably try to rip my head off and kill me. He used to be cute, but he's getting more and more like Papa, and his temper is becoming a pain in the ass. Is he going through puberty at 35?" Jang Beom grumbled but steadily held the steering wheel. In Yoo-shin looked out the window anxiously. The roads were heavily congested because it was rush hour. "Can't you go any faster? Gyu-ha- ssi  even lifts and moves cars, you know." "Don't you have a conscience? How can you compare me, a weakling, to a monster that became an S-class at the age of 14? I can lift a car, but I can't carry it far like a dog." "Which dungeon is it?" “Paju.” "......Is this by any chance Mt. Gamaksan?" “No, downtown.” At the words that it wasn’t Mt. Gamaksan, In Yooshin unconsciously sighed and held the pouch containing 8- se  tightly with both hands. I didn’t think that Hyeon Gyu-ha would lose, but the words “Gamaksan dungeon” were endlessly ominous. "Is the guild leader really trying to kill Gyu-ha- ssi ?" "Oh, that's right." "......Why? Even though I don't get along well with Gyu-ha- ssi , we don't hold any grudges against each other." "I don't know either." “……” "I'm not trying to be vague, I really don't know. The road is really blocked." Jang Beom continued speaking, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers. "There's no reason to bother asking. Papa gives orders and I follow. That's it. Okay?" "But you're just sitting there, not knowing why, even though the guild leader is going to die?" "Hey, Yoo-shin- ah . Are you sure that Gyu-ha will definitely win?" "Yes." Jang Beom laughed out loud at the unwavering answer. "Don't ignore our Papa too much. He even started a guild with his bare body and has been around longer than Gyu-ha." "Gyu-ha- ssi  is even more amazing." "Yeah, yeah. You're right." He responded in a childish tone and did not say anything more, but only looked ahead. In Yoo-shin also suppressed his anxious feelings and anxiously checked Hyeon Gyu-ha’s status window. I didn’t think Hyeon Gyu-ha would lose at all, but why was I anxious? What. The roads were still busy. Hyeon Gyu-ha has neither favor nor affection for Gong Tae-seong. Gong Tae-seong felt uncomfortable with Min Geut-nyeo being friendly with Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had killed numerous people including Chairman Min and Kang Seok-woo, and he did not hide his feelings. Hyeon Gyu-ha was not a kind person who would return favors to someone who was reluctant to accept him, so the relationship between the two was maintained with an appropriate amount of distance. The relationship that had been like that changed the year before last. Gong Tae-seong tried to recruit him to the guild without hiding the fact that his eyes clearly had other intentions, but Hyeon Gyu-ha repeatedly rejected him outright. Things quickly got worse. ‘Now that I think about it, it kind of overlaps with when I went to Hoeryeong.' What happened in Hoeryong can be found out by torturing Gong Tae-seong. Even if you cut off his limbs, you can still have his mouth. And in fact, I wasn't that curious. My curiosity was trivial compared to my anger of him using In Yoo-shin. ‘But to some extent, it is also a problem related to Yoo-shin- ssi .' At the very least, I had to find out why he had shown interest in In Yoo-shin and why his notifications were being displayed on In Yoo-shin's status screen. If anything was harmful to In Yoo-shin, I had to get rid of it all. Before I went to Iad. 'There are two keys left.’ Hyeon Gyu-ha unconsciously bit his lip. The number of keys remaining is the same as the time remaining. Slowly, he was tidying up his surroundings. He didn’t know how many years or days he had left, but when that time came, he wanted to make sure that In Yoo-shin had nothing to lose. His own assets, while insignificant in value, would be better than nothing. It's the same with the Gong Tae-seong problem. After figuring out his intentions....... Min Geut-nyeo and Min Anna's faces came to mind, but I shook them off. In conclusion, Hyeon Gyu-ha decided that he should just kill him. In any case, from the moment he provoked In Yoo-shin, his treatment was already decided. However, even for Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had decided to kill Gong Tae-seong, he was not an easy opponent. Just by hitting the floor with the tip of his foot, white flames spread out like snakes and opened their mouths, and swords wrapped in flames aimed for vital points from every angle. The extraordinary abilities of both offense and defense, which could be skillfully used at both long-distance and close range, dazzled the surroundings. Nine layers of walls collapsed and the flowers in the garden were set ablaze. But that's not a problem. ‘It doesn't matter to me whether it's long distance or short distance.' Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been furious at the thought of him using In Yoo-shin, became calm as he entered the battle. Hyeon Gyu-ha jumped forward, cutting down the incoming fireballs with the Sign Chamsageom sword he held in his right hand, but a sword covered in flames blocked his path. The cold sound of swords clashing with each other tore at his ears. Gong Tae-seong’s feet, which were freely applying force to the attacks as if he were standing on the ground despite being floating in the air, were gradually pushed back. Hyeon Gyu-ha scoffed inwardly. Gong Tae-seong is already being pushed? No way, he's just luring me. I don't care about the obvious tricks. No matter what tricks he uses to lure me, I'll just have to trample on them all. Before they knew it, the two had passed the entrance to the dungeon and entered inside. Tall, majestic pavilions built in layers greeted them. The dungeon recognized the living beings and created demons, but neither of them paid any attention to it. Hyeon Gyu-ha nodded while lowering the Sign Chamsageom sword. “Try it.” "hmm?" “There must be traps or something prepared. I’ll destroy them all and cut your throat, so do it.” Gong Tae-seong smiled brightly. "If you let your guard down and become complacent, I'll be grateful. I'm not in a position to be picky about the means." "You've done everything you could to get through this, but you're going to get beaten up so badly. Then you'll bitterly regret not messing with Yoo-shin- ssi ." "Didn't Dr. Kang Seok-woo teach you that you can't tell what's long and short until you measure it?" The name of one person who was deliberately brought out brought a ferocious smile to Hyeon Gyu-ha's lips. "Okay, it's decided. Noona Geut-nyeo won't be able to find your body and you'll have to have a funeral with an empty coffin." “You don’t even have anyone to hold your funeral.” With those words, Gong Tae-seong took out a scroll from the inventory and tore it. Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyebrows twitched. The skill that Gong Tae-seong was able to use for a limited time by tearing the scroll was something he was very familiar with. It was pyrokinesis. The monsters were rushing in, screaming, but Gong Tae-seong paid no attention and opened the inventory wide. Hyeon Gyu-ha instinctively felt that since his unique ability was pyrokinesis, he would probably be planning to fire weapons covered in flames from the inventory, just like he sometimes used. It was a guess that was half right and half wrong. In the inventory, things that had been filled in advance were quickly ejected. Hyeon Gyu-ha quickly wrapped himself around a force field and assessed the situation. Did you use the invisibility skill in advance? If so, is it a weapon? No. Hyeon Gyu-ha knows better than anyone the sound or the presence of a weapon cutting through the air. This wasn't the presence of a long weapon. A secret weapon? No, it was much smaller than that, so much so that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye...... “……!” The thought was long, but in reality, not even a second had passed. When Hyeon Gyu-ha realized what the ejected things were, a huge explosion of white flame shook the axis of the dungeon. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: HM: the next invention that HGH is gonna make is a phone that’s able to sent messages anywhere in the world, without internet connection Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

"What are you talking about! He’s going to die! Hunter- nim , are you saying it's okay for the guild leader to die?!" "When Papa dies, I will become the leader of the Narsha Guild." “……” Jang Beom slumped his shoulders as he read the expression on In Yoo-shin's face. "When I see you with that face, it hurts more than getting hit by the Hidden Boss and flown away... I don't know what Tae-seong is thinking. But I do know that no one can stop Tae-seong when he makes that expression. Not even the Vice president or the young lady can stop him." “…….” "That's all I can explain. How about taking you home? Or who do you want to call?" "Please take me to where the guild leader teleported." “That’s not possible.” In Yoo-shin bit his lip hard. This was only the second time I had a direct conversation with Jang Beom, but I know that he is a man who would not be easily persuaded. Hyeon Gyu-ha's status window was still the same. Was he fighting him?  Just in case, I connected to the internet on my phone. One of them is a psychokineticist and the other is a pyrokineticist. It would definitely not be a quiet battle without leaving a trace. But there was no particular commotion on the Internet or SNS. There were already eyewitnesses saying that hunters fought in this restaurant, but there was no mention of the two people who would have caused a bigger commotion. ‘Then it seems like they haven't started fighting in earnest yet....... If they moved inside a building like a training ground, I don't think the commotion would be visible from outside.' But considering the way Hyeon Gyu-ha fought, it didn't seem like the commotion would be hidden even if it was inside a building. If he used his strength properly, he would be able to collapse the building. “Dungeon?" Dungeon. If you move to the dungeon, not only will the noise not leak out, but you will also be able to project your power without hesitation. The dungeon was being put up for public bidding, and even searching the dungeon currently owned by Narsha was possible with In Yoo-shin’s ID. Jang Beom grabbed In Yoo-shin’s arm as he was about to hurriedly leave the restaurant after putting 8- se  into the pouch. “Where are you going?” "I'm going to the company. The guild leader went to the dungeon, right?" "You're smarter than you look. Do you know how many dungeons our guild has?" "It's better than just sitting here." "What are you going to do? Just be quiet and I'll take you home." “Let go of me!” He tried to shake it off, but the hand holding him wouldn't budge. When Jang Beom picked up the struggling In Yoo-shin and tried to put it on his shoulder. “Squeak!” 8- se 's tail extended long toward Jang Beom's face. The sharp, slashing tail, as if it were going to pierce his eyeball, was enough to make his hands lose their strength for a moment. In Yoo-shin, who did not miss the opportunity, shook it off and immediately struck Jang Beom's groin with his knee. "Uh!" Unless they had strengthened their bodies, even the Awakeners would suffer equally if they were hit in a vital spot. Jang Beom, who had been letting his guard down since his opponent was no different from a normal person, let out a single scream and broke his back. In Yoo-shin ran out of the restaurant. "Hey, hey! In Yoo-shin! Ouch.” He heard Jang Beom shouting from behind, but he ignored him and ran up the stairs. Jang Beom is an aerokineticist. Although he may not be as good as Hyeon Gyu-ha, it won't be hard for him to catch me again if I’m in his sight. A crowd of people gathered outside the restaurant, noisy and scurrying about. He ran past them and out to the road. While panting for breath and trying to catch a taxi, 8- se  suddenly started crying loudly. Then, he wrapped his tail around In Yoo-shin's hand, who was reaching forward to catch the taxi, and pulled him in. "Huh? What? Don’t get in a taxi?" “Squeak!” “Then what should I do?” "Squeak! Squeak!" 8- se  pointed to the northwest with his front paw. In Yoo-shin bowed his head to 8- se  just in case. "Do you know where Gyu-ha is?" “Squeaak!” 8- se 's face shook back and forth. "Then…… Guild Leader?" This time he nodded up and down.  I decided to think about the reason later. "I won't be able to walk there so I have to take a taxi anyway……" "Yoo-shin- ah ! Stay right there!" In the meantime, Jang Beom, who frowned on his arrogance as if he had overcome the pain, tried to jump out of the broken window. It's three stories high, but it won't be that difficult for Jang Beom. In Yoo-shin rushed across the road. The road became chaotic as the cars suddenly crossed without permission, making a sudden stop with the claxon ringing. Normally, I'd be too scared to even think about jaywalking, but now my mind feels strangely empty. It's like nothing else matters. The bus approaching from the other side failed to slow down properly, and the light of the headlights covered the face of In Yoo-shin. A ray of wind rose like a hurricane underfoot and floated In Yoo-shin high in the sky. Jang Beom, who reached out of the window, controlled the wind and moved him into the restaurant. He tried to get out of the restaurant again, but this time, Jang Beom did not miss him smoothly. In Yoo-shin bit its lower lip. It was impossible to escape from a Class A hunter who was not careless like before. But I didn't mean to give up and be held on. "Hey, why is your liver so swollen*? What are you going to do if there's an accident?" (*This is an idiom. It means being overly bold, reckless, or having too much guts when you shouldn't.) "I know where the captain is." "Do you think I'm going to fall for that kind of lie?" "I'm not lying." Jang Beom, who saw a firm expression, sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. Whether true or not, In Yoo-shin’s face did not trembles. "So you're still planning to go there? Even if I lock you in the house and stand guard to keep you from leaving?" "I'm going to run away secretly." "Haa, how did l end up cleaning after Tae-seong's screw-ups? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?" Jang Beom, who complained in his mouth, stretched his shoulders weak as if he had no choice. "Okay, I'll take you home. So please don't run wild like you did before and stay calm. There is going to be one more human being who will bite me if you get hurt." *** It has been 20 years since Gong Tae-seong began his career as a hunter. During that time, he has passed countless gates. The brief dizziness he felt when passing through a gate could be eliminated with a single exhale. But ever since that day six years ago, every time he crossed the gate, he heard her sobbing amidst the dizziness. It still is. Gong Tae-seong, who had teleported to the front of the dungeon, immediately passed through the gate, and was followed by a dizzy feeling followed by a dizzying, shaking feeling. It felt like his heart was being crushed. He regained his composure by taking a few deep breaths. There wasn't much left. There wasn't much left, so soon. [Time left until dungeon reset: 93 hours, 51 minutes, 07 seconds] Hyeon Gyu-ha also followed him immediately. He seemed to have readily agreed to the suggestion to move the location. Perhaps it was because In Yoo-shin might get caught up in a fight at the restaurant. Gong Tae-seong bit back a bitter smile and focused his sword. Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyes, revealed through his disheveled bangs, were brimming with murderous intent. At this point, it was clear that the “king who respects even a single blade of grass” was deeply upset, if not as much as when In Yoo-shin was kidnapped. Ha. Gong Tae-seong just laughed. "What are you up to?" The single word that was uttered in a growl had many meanings.  If he had just asked to have a fight, I would have gladly stepped in, but what was his intention in dragging Yoo-shin into it? He must be thinking something like that. After all, he didn’t take Yoo-shin hostage or harm him. “To kill you.” “Me? You?” "So, if you rush at me with the intention of killing me, it will leave a less unpleasant aftertaste." Hyeon Gyu-ha scoffed sharply. "Does that sound like you mean you could kill me?" “Is there any reason why I can’t kill you?” "Then you're going to open a rift in the world and summon monsters to conquer Earth?" “What are you talking about?” Even in the midst of all this, he frowned as if he thought he was talking nonsense, but his expression didn't seem like he was joking. Gong Tae-seong decided to answer honestly. I didn't have to keep it a secret from him anymore. Either he or I would die, and one of us would leave here dead. “I need your heart.” "You pervert. Even Noona, my Sister-in-law, knows that you're a pervert who lusts after other people's hearts?" Gong Tae-seong continued speaking, once again strengthening his resolve to kill that bastard. "With your heart, even I, a human of this Iron Age, can open the way to ®AC."
