Chapter 266 – Surprise Chest Forecast

Namsuwon is an S-rank hunter.

Since childhood, I have been familiar with water. After falling into a cold bath due to her friend's prank, she awakens her water magic talent for the first time.

There are many prestigious academies now, but when Suwon was young, there were none, so it was difficult to get along with other students, so she wanted to become a pro hunter.

She is now in her 10th year of a career as a hunter.

"Don't overdo it. In line with the belief that "I earn a lot when I can earn,"

She calmly proceeded to explore the danger zone while collecting loot and dealing with miners.

'… After, nine with this.'

It's the first time I've ever hunted a member of the universe.

It was good to see you all together for the first time. It was easy after that because I watched the enemy's movements at that time.

A space monster that shoots beams might be a huge presence for civilians, but not for hunters.

Even if you shoot a beam, is the power of that beam absolute? How long is the delay before shooting? …

The difficulty of hunting is bound to change due to various factors.

The more flexible hunting is, the more confident Suwon is.

'I can earn quite a bit with this.'

Just thinking about what to eat after work makes me a little excited.

Meanwhile…

It was Suwon that students came to mind when they first came here.

Hilaria, Sanghyuk Kim, Yuna, Henna, Kibele...

All of them were full of confidence, and their faces seemed to glow.

'Compared to him, I am.'

My hair seems to be the same as it was when I was a student.

Got old

After repeating the daily life of earning, all that remains is the body aching here and there.

How can I earn enough money and get out of it?

Just thinking about that, I wandered around the danger zone.

「Some independent hunters」

In the face-to-face position, Hunter is both a reserving job and a preferred job.

Isn't it funny?

Top prospects and famous squads sponsored by corporations sometimes appear on TV as they win.

For an independent hunter like Suwon, it's enough, even if the income is a bit decent.

I don't know when I will die.

Even a decent woman avoids it, saying she doesn't want to have a child without a father.

In fact, it was another side effect of Korea, where the number of single-parent families increased enormously.

"Huh! Water Blast!"

Wooooo!!

Take out another Galactic Miner and catch your breath.

"How many of these guys do I have to catch before I can buy a house?"

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

A thousand horses.

"Do you think it's worth trying?"

If you catch ten fish a day,

While doing such calculations, Suwon discovered another type of miner.

'What?'

It's not the long limbs that stretched out,

It's like a praying mantis.

It was a huge monster with countless eyeballs in the center of its body.

Creepy… !!

'Once the check…'

Whirik!

He waved his hand and sprayed water beads. The marble moved gradually through the air at a constant speed.

It is an orb that explodes when it overlaps with another magic wave. With this, you can see the enemy's movements in detail, but...

'Uh?'

The marble passed through the mantis' body.

When he came to his senses, he had already appeared behind Su-Won, and he was shot in the stomach with a scythe with a thick hook and flew away.

I reflexively used water magic to get rid of the wart, but Suwon's side was much more fatal.

"Cheuk!!"

Su-Won fell on the sidewalk and trembled.

'Is this how you die?'

If I live 100 more days, I will buy a house.

"Ku-heuk!"

Su-Won coughed up blood and realized that the strength was gradually draining from his body.

'Sorry, Mom…'

At that time,.

"Uh! Mister, what are you doing there? Wake up!"

A red-haired schoolgirl with her great sword stood guard in front of him.

She was Hilaria, the up-and-comer with the corporate sponsorship that she was so envious of.

"Kybele! Are there any other guys around?"

"No! It's just that object!"

"Mister. What are his characteristics?"

"It's big… It's black…"

Stung your lungs? It's so hard to make a sound.

Su-Won struggled so much that her body trembled.

Shit.

Aren't S-class hunters protected by academy students so ugly?

Anything helps!

"Eye…"

"Eye?"

"Don't look into my eyes!"

Shhh!

Galactic Mantis swings her scythe, and Hilaria dodges with a light leap.

That light sergeant jump easily crossed nearly 5 meters.

"How can you not look when you have so many eyes? Damn it!"

"What are the eyes?"

"Don't look at me. Cybele!"

Hilaria lands again.

As soon as he saw those countless eyes of hers, Hilaria stood blankly.

Seeing that, Su-Won recalled the situation while spitting out his blood.

'The ability to interfere with the mind!'

It is 『Fear Injection』!!

Seeing her very enemy's abilities, Su-Won grabbed Hilaria by the ankles and forced her to fall.

Hey profit!

Her scythe passed where Hilaria was standing.

"Huh? Huh?"

Hilaria, who came to her senses a second later, flinched at the attack passing over her.

"Mister. What is it?"

"… Don't look into the eyes. Consciousness… Flies…"

"Was it like that?"

"Was it like that?"

Totally crazy in a good way. This student!

Suwon shuddered.

'You deserve to succeed. Isn't that scary?'

The opponent is a monster from a realm of space, a realm unknown to us.

The Galactic Mantis attacks Hilaria. Hilaria opened her eyes and dug inside her, avoiding her continuous scythe.

And,

Wield her sword.

Wooooo!!!

Hilaria's heavy sword swinging on her floor made her floor vibrate.

"Almost… This guy's distortion rate... It looks like a castle wall!"

"It's not our level to deal with. We have to run away!"

Cybele immediately jumped out and helped Suwon.

"Hilaria. Take your time! I'll take this person!"

"Okay!"

Hilaria spurred the wart as he jumped right across from her.

"This way! Stupid worm!"

Shuuk!

The mantis moved quickly and came back in front of Hilaria.

"Huh…"

Hilaria was also impressed by the speed of movement.

It is impossible to escape!

Even in her desperate situation, Hilaria evaded the attack with one light step, and she clung to the wall.

"Do you know why I am a hanging Hilaria?"

Wow!

All the walls Hilaria was hanging on were destroyed, and the commercial building collapsed.

I dodged it by flying into the building on the other side, but I was horrified by the enemy's ability to destroy it.

"This… Should I leave a will?"

On the other hand, Su-Won trembled while holding onto his stomach.

"Go get your comrades... Don't mind this."

"You can't move by yourself! I'm going to the temporary hospital bed at the base camp."

"Kuh… Huh…"

"Even if you look like that, you're a tough kid. You'll be fine!"

"…"

Suwon couldn't even refute it, and all he could do was hold on to his consciousness.

As Hilaria struggles against her Galactic Mantid and finds herself on the verge of death, she is reminded of a figure she has seen for quite some time.

Daughter of the Sword Saint, Quintiada.

'Compared to that guy's swordsmanship...'

Her eyeballs are about to turn.

It was proof that the exchange war had definitely left something behind for Hilaria.

In a one-on-one confrontation with the sword master, Hilaria opened up the limits, but she hadn't been able to confirm it until now because she had no opponent.

When it was difficult to win due to close combat, the mantis opened her black eyes, and Hilaria was stunned.

'Husband… !'

With Hilaria's waist, her scythe, which cut down her buildings as well, exploded.

Woowook… !!

Coo!!

"Ha…!! It's too soon to die. I!"

Hilaria, with her returned spirit,

She smiled confidently as she grabbed the giant scythe as if for a kick catch.

"Got it. You mantis bastard!"

"Kiririk?"

The monster's eyeballs turn.

An impossible situation. A situation that shouldn't exist.

Hilaria caught the praying mantis's attack with her waist by "hanging on her ground" with the power of her toes so that it wouldn't fly away.

"Huh!!"

Hilaria threw a giant mantis larger than a bear in the opposite direction from her.

And cut with a greatsword!

Cooong!

The magic wall of the castle wall level also went through cracks.

"Keep knocking, and it will open."

Hang on

Attack

That is the source of Hilaria's strength. Everything has been destroyed with a great sword, and it doesn't suit Hilaria to procrastinate in a situation like this.

Battle beyond the limit!

The mantis, as if determined not to leave until she had cut off Hilaria's throat, planted her legs firmly and swung her scythe.

"There!"

It was then that the broadcast vehicle appeared.

A group of people taking pictures of Hilaria appear.

"This is Danger Zone Mist Depth Level 2. As you can see, a new entity is fighting the Hunter."

Meteorologicalcaster Lim So-hyun drew her sword and held it tight.

"I'll catch it myself."

The mantis is not pushed back at all, even in a two-on-one engagement.

Meteorologicalcaster Lim So-hyun and Hilaria took over each leg and attacked them with their swords, looking for gaps.

"Students come! I'll do it."

"What are you talking about when you're too heavy?"

"It's because I can't show my strength when there are students!"

"Don't look at me!"

Despite Hilaria's warning, weathercaster Lim So-hyeon fainted after being injected with fear.

Hilaria pushes Sohyeon with her shoulder, making her fall, and blocks her attack instead.

"Ugh!?"

"Because when I look into this guy's eyes, my consciousness is blown away from time to time!"

"I won't get hurt anymore!"

"Do the weather forecast later and focus! Big-breasted, quirky unnie!"

"Bird, it's live broadcasting, so you can't use that title!"

Hilaria climbed her wall and slashed the mantis with her greatsword.

Coo!!

In the meantime, Sohyeon catches the timing right away, cuts her lower body, and passes by.

Both showed great sword skills at the same time and smoothly peeled off the mantis' mana wave.

"You're doing well! Sohyeon-ah!"

There was a cheering sound among the staff.

"The new entity of depth level 2 monster... Huhu… Is strong enough to make even an S-rank hunter have a hard time! As you can see!"

Chew!

In the surprise attack of the praying mantis, Lim So-hyun's underwear was revealed during the briefing.

"What's wrong!?"

The titles of the articles that will be posted on the Internet today flashed through Sohyeon's mind.

「Embarrassing mistake of a gravitational wave broadcaster」

「Today, you are in the danger zone, you udder.」

「Let's get to know Lim So-hyun's breasts.

No!

"Ughhhhh!! Poem, viewers… For a moment, I'll check my outfit."

"What if I suddenly go?"

Hilaria jumped behind her, shouting, defending herself from the mantis that suddenly pushed her.

"Kuk!! If you're going to do this, don't you help me?"

"But the underwear!"

"Is it time to care like a girl? You can show your underwear while fighting!"

"What do you know, student?!"

"I know. There are people with talent like you in our grade. Isolde…!"

"…"

Sohyeon gritted it.

"Now, grab this first!"

"Oh really! Got it! This happened; finish it quickly!"

"I've almost taken off the shield! But…!"

Shhhhh.

The praying mantis curled her body into a circle, almost refilling her magic and her shields.

Hilaria and Lim So-hyun, who noticed this, opened their mouths.

"Lim So-hyun! Comment!"

"Ah… Yes, viewers… Right now, we're fighting a new entity."

Sohyeon wiped off her sweat while exposing her pink full-cup bra.

"…Very… Hard…!"
