A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

The deep sea, where no light came in, was really dark enough to see nothing. Yooseong swam in the deep sea relying on the light of the flash on his wetsuit.

‘On the day of destruction, here appeared a great serpent who would devour the world. ’

Although it was a bit disgusting, Lee Hyun told Yooseong that he could not express Ragnarok as well. Lee said the surface of the Earth was visibly lower when Jormungan appeared in the Pacific Ocean.

Antarctica's glaciers weigh over a trillion tons, and when they melt, the sea level rises. It means that you have to weigh more than a tank to stay above sea level, which means that the sea level has dropped, which means that Jormungan weighs more than a trillion tons. I had no idea how big it was.

‘I can't believe the sea level went down. How big is it? ’

Moreover, Jormungan did not appear alone, but appeared with his cubs, saying they were not the size of ordinary snakes. Each one of them was the size of a giant ship. Hearing that, I thought I should bring Loki in as an ally.

Meteor was Eved to scan the Mariana Trench with a biodetector embedded in the submarine. I'm sure Lee Hyun said there would be an entrance nearby, but I couldn't find it easily.

Yooseong had to wrestle for a long time before he could find the entrance.

Eve, I think this is the entrance. Can you ask Lee Hyun?

[I think you're right. They say you can go all the way down into the cracks you see.]

How far do we have to go? This is so uncomfortable.

Deep-sea wetsuits were very uncomfortable. If other ordinary wetsuits were those that stick to the body, the deep-sea wetsuit was as big as an early wetsuit and machinery was attached to it like a heavy glove suit.

It was easy to move with a moving auxiliary screw attached to the leg, but it was frustrating and uncomfortable as if it were stuck in a coffin.

I could easily make it to the submarine, but the submarine was large enough to make it through a small canyon beneath the deep sea.

However, we couldn't break through the canyon, so we had to go like this.

We're going into the canyon.

A small crack appeared in the eye of the meteor entering the canyon. Only one person was enough to fit in.

I'm afraid this wetsuit might get stuck in the way.

I was worried that the wetsuit was a bit big, so I might get stuck on the way. The size of the crack was as vague as that.

[Let's go inside. It looks like we're almost through.]

When I'm stuck, get me out of here.

[Yes, sir.]

Meteor plunged into the crack, reducing the intensity of the screw on the side of the bridge.

Woodhuff! Bloop-oop!

The rocks in the canyon scratch the wetsuit. Truly the size of the crack was narrow enough.

I think it's stuck. Do you want me to take it off now?

[Other than that, it'll be more jammed. Keep moving forward.]

No matter how much I think about it, it's stuck in the middle. There's a boulder protruding out ahead and blocking the road.

I saw the stones blocking the path in front of his eyes. It seemed like it was hard to go in anymore.

Looks like we'll have to find another entrance.

[No, enforce. Press the blue button on the right hand side of the wetsuit. Button to activate various assistive tools built into the wetsuit. I'm sure it'll help.]

Eve explained that the wetsuit had built-in auxiliary tools and asked us to enforce it.

You're a pain in the ass.

[That's right. I've been searching all day and I've only found this one entrance. When else are you going to search this vast sewer to find the entrance? It's urgent. Didn't you tell me that if you don't save Loki's three children, he'll die? If you don't want to die, you should quickly find Jormungan.]

Yooseong quietly pressed the blue button to attack Eve's merciless facts. A small drill protrudes from the device on your right arm.

[It's a drill.]

It's not pointy.

[There are many different types of drills in the world, not just conical drills. And that's not what's important right now, so just smash the stones.]

Chet.

Unfortunately, Yooseong had no choice but to operate the drill without resolving his curiosity.

Bloop-oop! Bloop-oop!

As the drill cools off, it begins to grind the stones that were blocking the way. Soon after activating the drill, all the stones blocking the passageway become dust and disappear into the deep sea.

[Let's go.]

I was going to take a break, but Eve prompted me right away.

I continued to enter the crack thinking that I had to finish quickly and rest.

The crack was quite deep, unlike I thought.

I thought I could get rid of the stone blocking the road and escape the crack a little bit to get to the canyon inside, but unlike when I saw it from the outside, the shape inside is crooked, so it took some time to escape the crack.

Whew, here we are. Eve! You're out of the crack. I see the canyon.

[Good work... Now you can see in the wetsuit... Follow the progress... ….]

Noise jammed into communications from Eve.

There should be no kind of transmission that would interfere with communication, but it was strange.

Eve!

[Yormungan……. Powerful Magical Power……. Communication no longer available…….]

Chit

The noise is getting worse and the communication is eventually cut off.

"Jormungan? Powerful magic?" ’

Yooseong chewed on the information that Eve last briefly conveyed.

Jormungan and his magical power.

Obviously the two of them must have lost communication.

What do we do? We wait for communications to get back to normal? ’

I was a little worried that I would be able to do well in this dark deep sea without Eve's support, but Yooseong was able to make a decision quickly.

With Lee Hyun, Eve will be fine.

Even if something happens, Lee will take care of everything.

You didn't have to worry about anyone but yourself.

The asteroid continued to move toward the presumed place of Jormungan.

‘This is it.’

Arrived at the marked location on the map. Jormungan is hiding here.

However, there was nothing unusual in the naked eye.

All I could see was strange deep-sea fish and deep sea corals.

‘I don't see anything. ’

It was a natural phenomenon.

Jormungan said he was hiding beneath the ground.

To meet Jormungan, you have to bring him to Jormungan, hiding beneath the ground.

‘I knew this would happen. ’

Meteor pulled a bunch of scrolls out of its inventory.

The identity of the scroll block was a magic scroll called ‘underwater explosion’ that caused a large explosion in the water.

The magnitude of the explosion was the unfortunate scroll that triggered an explosion of the same magnitude as the Exploration Magic, but was rarely sold due to the activation conditions of the scroll.

Like an underwater explosion, this scroll will not trigger unless underwater. The advantage of exploding underwater scrolls was that these scrolls were not sold for less than 100 copies after the sale, since Hunters commonly rarely fought underwater.

So the point shop sold the scroll significantly lower in price for inventory processing. Originally it was 10,000 points per page, but now it could be purchased for 1,000 points. It was a really affordable tenth.

‘Well, let's blow it up. ’

Yooseong stole Lee Hyun's points and bought all the remaining inventory.

I didn't feel bad if I used hundreds of scrolls at once because they were purchased with someone else's points. If it were your scroll, you wouldn't be able to use more than a hundred scrolls at once.

The meteor blows Mana into the scroll block and throws the scroll down. The heavy scroll falls to the floor. And at the same time there was a huge explosion.

Kuku Gugu Bow!

The bubbles created by the explosion spread to all directions.

After a water storm, the meteor walked to the center of the explosion.

A giant snake scales through a hollow mass of earth.

‘Found it.'

I'm sure.

The scale of Jormungan must be.

Boom, boom!

Yooseong touched the scales of Jormungan with his hands.

There was no rhythm.

When Jormungan didn't respond, Yooseong gave him strength and struck the scales of Jormungan with his fists. But there was no response this time.

He did everything he could for a long time to wake up Jormungan, but Jormungan didn't even flinch.

About now, I'm tired of Yooseong.

Suddenly, I remembered HYDRA's fangs, which Lee Hyun gave me, in the head of a weary Yooseong.

You want to stab me with this? ’

Jormungan is enormously large.

So there's no rhythm.

Just as a person bites a mosquito's flesh and feels nothing, so does Jormungan.

But HYDRA's fangs tell a different story.

HYDRA's poison is poisonous, so I'm sure Jormungan will respond as well.

‘But I'm sure Jormungan will be furious. ’

I've poisoned my body, and there's no one who won't be angry.

I could awaken Jormungan, but I could almost see that his relationship with Jormungan was wrong.

‘But there's no other way. ’

A Jormungan that can stab, fire and attack with a weaponizer.

There seemed to be no other way for Yooseong.

"Can I be gentle? ’

Like the Internet blogger said, if you don't get shot softly, HYDRA's fangs will be fine.

Of course, I've never been shot softly, so I don't know if it hurts or not, but I do know something.

It's not like he was stabbed.

Yooseong grabbed HYDRA's fangs and stabbed them slightly on the scales of Jormungan. After a slight stab, I pulled out my fangs straight away. Not if the poison spreads too much.

It must have been over a decade since HYDRA stabbed his fang.

Jormungan's body, which you can see down the hole, begins to tremble.

Kuku Gugu Bow!

Huh? ’

Suddenly, the ground began to shake as if it were an earthquake.

The meteor that was standing on Jormungan's body lost its balance and collapsed to its side.

I could see the ground flipping in the eyes of the fallen meteor.

The body of the giant snake filled his vision.

The appearance of Jormungan was long enough that the end could not be seen.

The appearance of Jormungan looking at Yooseong was only a fraction. And yet it was enormously large.

Grrrrrrrrrr!

You hear a great cry from afar.

A swarm of deep sea fishes rushes in from the direction of the crying.
