Hunter of the Perished World

The former hunters were united because they interfered directly with the hunter's nest. But this time they're just doing business.

”And most of all, there are some reactions in the other two categories that are faint because they only affect monster hunting. “

The lack of direct motivation to create two relatively different groups was also a cause. The hunters only care about their own business, Bondi. He also teaches the Academy not to work based on altruism and compassion.

That's why I couldn't leave the Dominator case alone, but I couldn't do anything more.

”Yes, there's also the problem... They said they wanted to subdue the Hive. “

”Well…. “

Jinn says that the marriage is deeper in the face.

”Somehow I knew this. “

”Ah…. It's not surprising. “

”Subjugating the Hive seems like a bad idea after all. “

The hunters are the ones who live in misery, and subjugating the Hive is like cutting a monster hunter's feed.

Apart from the dangers and identity of the Hive, the hunter's nest also had to acknowledge its need.

That's why Gene was a little curious when he first came here that Taehorn had lost his arms and eyes in order to subdue the Hive.

He wouldn't have gone alone, and since he moved around so much, Hibra would have gone down to the ground. But Gene had no reason to think so. But it was kind of rude in the hunter industry to ask that, and Jean didn't ask anything.

But now I needed information.

The Dominators want to subdue the Hive. And the dean of the nest was badly injured in the Hive.

There was a connection between the two, or at least Taehorn was enriched to know something about the Hive.

Such as why you must subdue the Hive.

Tae-Mar hesitates and speaks slowly.

”… I was injured 10 years ago. “

”It's been a while. “

”Yes, after that…. As you can see, we're living like this. “

It meant it was now ten years since I raised other hunters in the nest. Some stayed in the big city, some died in the world.

”It was a quest.“

That's what Tae-Mar said.

”The Odin Corporation has offered me a massive commission for an unlimited amount of money. “

Tae-Mar continued boldly, expressing his regrets about that time.

Odin Corporation has commissioned the Hwang Dragon Nest for 100,000 start-up payments, 900,000 collections, and a total of 1 million chips. The amount was enormous enough to set up and operate a congested business in the metropolitan area.

Those who almost ruled the metropolitan area were overwhelmed with funds enough to fund such a quest.

The content was simple.

Search the Hive. ’

Odin Corporation offered a large amount of money for believing that the entity was unclear but clearly present. They could run their own security company, but they've never shot a monster, even if they've shot a human before.

Odin Corporation's request to borrow an expert's hand to find out the identity of the Hive. Of course, it was a quest I couldn't do on my own, and the nest was dedicated to gathering the best of each hunter's mission.

The vast sum of one million chips was enough to go back to my share, and the hunters did not hesitate to cooperate.

Tae-Marion, who has the best experience among active hunters, also took part in the quest.

”I was also curious. The rumored Hive is real, and what's in it. “

The hunters are tempted by the enormous chips, but at the same time feel a greater temptation to the secrets of the ground they're walking on. It existed only as a legend for a long time, and it actually affected and was an unknown territory that no hunter could reach.

Chips were also important, but even greater curiosity and prestige related to his work was also important.

The title of the hunter who visited the Hive was attractive enough for some hunters.

A total of 500 hunters hang on to it. It was a very big deal for each of them because they could receive 2,000 chips upon completion.

”Almost all hunters in Huanglongs nests searched obsolete lands, basements, and ruins. “

Obviously there is a ruin in the metropolitan area, and the hunters have dealt with the filthy monsters and destroyed their nests. I broke through the broken paths and basements and killed and killed to find the paths of the monsters there. To find the hidden path to the Hive.

But finding a way to the Hive was a difficult task.

”About a month. Odin Corporation suddenly canceled their quest. “

”Was there a problem? “

”In fact, the Odin Corporation was not interested in the Hive itself. “

He smiles bitterly.

Jin's expression hardens, and Tae-Mar says.

”They knew that if the Hive quest fell, hunters would search the ruins like this. And we've been shooting all over this metropolitan area to search the Hive, knowing deep, dark basements and dark places to clean, organize and clear the way. “

”Mmmm... “

”And the seemingly unoccupied wasteland and ruins were many of the sites owned by Odin Corporation. “

Almost every hunter in the Hwang Dragon Nest cleaned up the land of Odin Corporation on their own. 100,000 chips were 200 chips each for 500 hunters, and 200 chips per month was a considerably smaller amount.

As a result, the Odin Corporation paid only 100,000 chips for the advance.

If they converted it into a real referral, the profit they made in addition was substantial enough to pay for at least 500,000 chips.

The hunters searched underground and kept documenting that there were no underground tunnels in some areas, as well as reporting to the Odin Corporation that the site was safe.

”They started to develop the land we cleared out. Factories, houses, offices, shops... like that.“

Odin Corporation was able to begin its development safely, as hunters had already confirmed that there was nothing wrong with cleaning. The hunters are eventually beaten to look good. They used hunters very cheaply.

Of course, the hunters would normally be furious. But ironically, that's not what matters to hunters anymore.

Angry at what was exploited and refuting or retaliating against Odin Corporation, but the majority of hunters already didn't care about the quest.

They were already close to the Hive. Since the founding of the metropolitan area, it has occupied an uncharted territory that no one could find.

Just as the Odin Corporation was never interested in the Hive in the first place, so the hunters no longer have any interest in the Odin Corporation.

Those who follow the business of hunting are ultimately consumed by their own madness.

Gene was also wandering around the Devil-free world, explaining that he was crazy in the end.

Huanglong's hunters are intoxicated by the idea that they can build their own unique realm.

The hunters eventually went down and drew the reality of the giant, complex maze as they dug through a forgotten underground network, digging through the cave and making a map.

Then, as the hunters made their way deeper underground, killing the monsters, they cut through the blockages, cracked the rocks, and eventually reached the Hive's reality.

I was abandoned rather than reached.

The weakened ground collapses, and they plunge headlong into the Hive. The hunters who fell into the water could crawl out to the water, howling, and it wasn't water, it was a rotten, rotten cesspool.

What lay before my eyes was a vast world I had never experienced.

”It was a land of despair. “

The expression on Tae-Mar's face was dark, and at the same time, his eyes were filled with horror.

Infiltrating a vast underground space was the battle between the great and great fears that we didn't know how to deal with. Eating and eating each other, other species bred, giving birth to their young, and the strange sight of their young eating their parents unfolded.

Many hunters had to escape as soon as they reached the Hive.

The monsters were sadly hostile to everything, and the hunters were no exception. Not only was there a strange creature that had never experienced it before, but there was an intangible creature that emitted only malice and fear around it.

In the land's food chain, where only the things that had not been experienced existed, hunters were merely spectacular.

And it was better that way. In the Hive, things like worms and hunters had to fight for their lives. Hundreds of hunters have died fighting the remains of the Hive.

In order to escape the realm of the monsters, the hunters kill their breath and try to escape. Each of the monsters in the Hive had its own realm, and the hunters could only use the tentacle worm's passageway to find out.

In a situation where the Hive's structure is unknown, they are forced to survive by hunting and chewing on unknown monsters. Meanwhile, the hunters died, and there were at most fifty other hunters left. They faced true horror.

The ruler of the Hive. When it appeared, all the monsters fled, killing their breath.

”I thought it might be the Devil himself. “

The hunters have no choice but to resist lethal force. I struggled with my favorite chipmunks, grenade launchers, and bullets. But the creature devoured the hunters unharmed.

Talking about the moment you had to flee as a shield to the other hunters who were dying, the marriage became a grim expression. I ran like crazy again and again.

I don't know how I escaped, but when I came to my senses, Taehorn wandered around the cave like a madman using worms.

Arms and eyes are disappearing in a bird they don't even know about.

”And then I came up, and I never went down there again, and I never told anyone. “

In exchange for trying to explore the unknown that no one else could touch, Tae-Mar lost her arms and eyes, as well as the many fellow hunters she knew.

I couldn't tell anyone about going down to the Hive and coming back. It was enough fear, and that despair was not something I could explain. Just by talking to Jin, Tae-Mar was recessed under her eyes as if she had aged ten years.

I was in such great despair and suffering, and I was under such profound pressure. Nevertheless, there was something more distressing for Tae-Mar.

”I've lost so much, I don't know what it is, why it happened, what to call those monsters. “

Even though we have lost so much, we have found nothing. That's why Tae-Mar felt guilty about surviving.

It was painful to live with that underground, but Tae-Mar chose to stay in the nest and train new hunters, even for the dead hunters.

Gene nods slowly with a firm look because he didn't think the Hive was such a dangerous place. I couldn't get a good sense of where the Hive was.

‘Is this a completely different monster ecology...? ’

Not all monsters in the world are known. There are so many monsters in the world that they live and actually die.

Gene asked me something else.

”Then why would the Dominators want to subdue the Hive? “

”I'm not the only one who survived the Hive. “

Many hunters died in the quest, but only two survived.

”Do you remember the epidemic? “

”If it was him... “

”Yes, he was new to Fenrir Industries. Handling sniper rifles…. “

Gene was quite talented at dealing with sniper rifles at a young age, and was able to recall a new hunter who actually remembered that he had dealt with a considerable number of enemies at the time. As Gene recalls from a long time ago, he was like saying that his talents were substantial.

”He survived with me. “

It would have been a long time ago, and the newcomer at that time would have been a significant veteran.

”What about him? “

”Yes.“

Taehorn nods, wondering if it's Jin.

”The Dominators' leader is a tribute. “

Then Gene realized why the Dominator had offered himself such enormous conditions without hesitation.
