Hunter of the Perished World

It hurts to love something.

Leaving without staying long anywhere is easy. You will never look back, ever mention it again.

“What are you going to do? ”

“Well…. We should head south to Ragnarligion first. ”

There was a group called the Twilight Bridge in the former Southeast Asia region, and Jin decided that the chips that had not been acquired would be available in the Twilight Bridge as well as in the metropolitan area. Of course, Ramfil had only heard of the Twilight Brigade, and Leona was staring at the camp because she didn't know.

And inevitably, to explain the Twilight Cult, we also had to explain the Worship of Hunt.

Gene began to explain, gazing at the dazzling eyes.

“In other words, the Twilight Bridge is a group of people who believe monster-hunting is wrong and is in the region of Southeast Asia where we are headed. The hunters in ancient India, right next door, believe that the hunters can end the age of this monster. They've been in conflict for a long time. ”

Leona tilts her head as if it were some kind of crazy thing.

“If hunting monsters isn't right, what am I supposed to do? ”

“Monsters are an animal, and they believe that they can evolve into a harmonious world through harmony with them. ”

“... aren't they crazy? ”

Leona doesn't say anything to control the monsters, but she frowns. However, Gene does not hesitate to say anything more frightening.

“Actually, they tamed some monsters. ”

“Excuse me?”

“What, what? ”

Leona and Ramfil are both dumbfounded by the fact that things were actually possible that they hadn't even thought of.

“Religion is supposed to be persuasive by expanding some phenomena as a whole. In fact, it was easy to expand. ”

The Twilight Bridge was actually able to tame a few species of monsters to create a harmonious world, as they said. But the question was elsewhere.

“Wait, isn't that supposed to exclude hunters? ”

“That's right."

“Then wouldn't it be better to go to the Hunting Worshippers? ”

Jean was definitely not eye-catching.

“Hunters consider hunting sacred. Then who do you think is the priest there? ”

Leona's eyes narrow because she doesn't know the word "Pantheon," and Ramfil ponders for a moment and answers.

“... You must be a hunter. ”

“Yes, the Temple of the Hunting Worshippers is a hunter. ”

And Gene pointed to himself, as if to see.

“Then, what do you think they'll think of me? ”

“ ……. ”

What if there was a demon-hunter in the sanctuary? It was a close call.

“The God of Hunting…. I think they're treating me like one. ”

“Yes... ”

Gene shakes his head in disgust.

“It's better to hide your identity and go to the Twilight Brigade, because there's a problem there. ”

Jin, who knew how to solve the problem without killing the king, was able to solve it with a proper request from the Twilight Bridge. Leona tilts her head and asks.

“Just worship... Well, don't you think we should go there? You can hide being a demon-hunter. ”

According to Leona, Gin's complexion is even more terrifying.

“Hunters, not just me, don't go to the Hunting Worshippers' Land when they're distracted. ”

“Why?”

“Think about it, it's a land of those who think hunting is sacred, and its shrine is a hunter. ”

But it was the number one refuge for hunters.

“Giving money to those who do the sacred work is blasphemous. That's why there's no reward for the quest. He's a sacred volunteer, a hunter, to the people there. ”

“Well…. ”

“What is that? ”

Lamfil and Leona had an attitude about what was going on.

In fact, the land of the hunters who were treated most intensely and worshipped by the hunters in the world had a profound irony that the hunters were the most avoided areas.

Twilight Cult and Hunt Worshippers. They were a very different group. But they also had a lot in common.

They both had something in common, and both had a stubborn disease that only religious groups had.

The dusk bridge in Southeast Asia and the hunting cult in India seemed geographically close, but the two groups were completely separated and contact was rare.

There are Wargraves in India and Southeast Asia. But as always, Wargrave Fortress did not care about the external environment at all. Thus, it is actually a region in Southeast Asia where three groups coexist, but at the same time it is not significantly different from just two groups.

The conversation about New Hong Kong was set at an unconsciously random rate, so all we had to do was talk about what was coming.

“The Twilight Cult and the Hunt Worshippers are like the state? ”

The night came, and after setting up camp to relax, Ramfil asked. In addition, if you can call it a country, the group that was blinding in the north actually had difficulty calling it the first country to reappear.

“That's not it. It's just a culture of shared conventions. ”

“It's hard to understand... ”

It was a long time ago that Ramfil and Leona did not understand, so it was natural for them to tilt their heads.

“There's no practical connection, but you can say they're sharing the same ritual. That's what faith is. ”

Sometimes they join forces, but they only share faith without dominating each other. Of course, there is a total source of faith in each region, which is the capital.

“Religion is odd. ”

“Don't try to understand. It's convenient to think of a group of similar people living together. Only the leader is not given the command. ”

It was easier for both of them to understand.

The Twilight Cult and the Hunt Worshippers were more likely to think of it as a spreading faith than a group with a clear motive. Explaining the difference between countries and cultures was too difficult for this time. They share the same tradition and culture, but are not bound or bound by each other.

However, Jin only knew that, as religions sometimes do, terrible things happen when they are bound. Leona asked as if curious.

“Then what is the purpose of the Twilight Cult? Train all the monsters? ”

“Instead of taming.... We want a world where monsters and humans don't have to hurt each other anymore. Training is the only way. ”

Only what was good enough to be true was that the possibility was close to zero.

On the contrary, the Hunting Worshippers' hope of hunting all the monsters of the world to achieve peace was also close to zero.

Ramfil asked me if I still don't understand.

“So what if the monsters attack? Are you going to die?”

“That's not it. ”

If I told them not to harm the monsters in any case, of course, the Twilight Brigades would all be dead by evening.

“Monsters tend to attack or respond if they can't. But even if they killed the monster, they won't extract the chip to bury the body. In that sense, I would never hunt monsters for chips. ”

So there was no energy base to perfection in this area. However, other parts of the wilderness have adhered to a primitive lifestyle, given the use of reactors to use electrical devices.

When attacked inevitably, it kills the monster, but it never hunts the monster first. The Twilight Cult is not flexible, but it also does not adhere to overly rigid principles.

Leona opens her mouth as if something had come to her mind.

“Then I'll be treated like a god there. ”

“… On second thought…. ”

Ramfil nods as if to be plausible, and is surprised.

Witches who could rule monsters for those who wanted peace between monsters and humans were literally able to fulfill their dreams.

Obviously, the Witch was indispensable to the Twilight Cult's goddess. But Leona didn't look too happy when she said it.

After the New Hong Kong escape, Jean was tested to find out if Leona's witch powers had been awakened. He told you to kill the poor monsters, disable them, and then try controlling them with Leona.

The result was a failure. There were occasional downturns, but they were clearly out of control.

Even back then, Leona was not actively using her powers, but rather emitted a screaming psychotic wave to all sides. Only the monsters rush when summoned, and Leona doesn't control her powers carefully.

Leona has a very powerful power, but it only explodes in extreme situations. And actively harnessing that power was still an agent.

Knowing that, Leona knew that even if she was lifted up, she still could not do anything.

After experiencing the tragedy of an uncontrollable force, Leona was already worried that her own power would cause a strange reversal.

“Don't worry. ”

“ ……. ”

“It won't happen again. ”

It meant that Leona would never let that happen again. The words delighted Leona and made her feel good.

You only realize that you're not helping.

But knowing Jean's heart, Leona smiled brightly.

“Yes.”

The night was deep.

I had to leave tomorrow, so I had to go to bed early.

And Gene wasn't just going to get the chip, he was going to the Twilight Bridge for some other reason.

If it works, Leona may be able to awaken there, if not perfectly, her powers.

Along with the group, armored vehicles often cause trouble as they enter the jungles of Southeast Asia. The dense rainforests were more dense than monsters, so the vehicles could not easily pass through.

Excellent!

The road that could not be pierced was forced to go, crushing the trees.

Bang, bang, bang!

“Can I do this? ”

The overcrowded area had no choice but to advance to Plasma Pavilion. Leona shakes her head as if she were tired of the massive destruction.

Naturally, the road was dirty and bumpy. I had to go some distance to get rid of the weeds and branches involved in the trajectory, then stop, then go some distance and then repeat the trajectory.

Orbital vehicles were designed to move even in the toughest features of Bondi, but that didn't mean they could go anywhere. If I fell into the grass all over the forest, I could have been drowned alive in the mud. Ramfil said as he cleared the trajectory.

“If we lose our trajectory like this, we have to abandon the car. ”

If an out-of-order situation occurred in which there were no proper maintenance equipment, we might have to discard the armored car. Jin frowned, looking at the dense rainforest in the front. The weather was so dreadful that even the air touching the skin was unpleasant.

We must not accept any more incompetents whose armored cars fail to advance.

“I'll leave it here. ”

“I think he's abandoned when I see him. ”

Leona looks sad, looking at the glove car like a pet.

“I can't help it. ”

After the three of them had packed their belongings, they closed the hatch on the armored car, and Ramfil remembered the coordinates of the current location. There are no satellites, but if you remember the coordinates, Ramfil could return to his current position at any time. It was better to leave the glove car broken than not be able to use it at all.

After 200 years of extinction, the forest receded, once again enveloping the earth.

Just as they laughed at the words of numerous environmental groups who had said they needed to protect nature, nature stretched out to all sides and recovered most of the lost territory, as if no one needed to worry.

Whoever was worried about whom, every time I faced such a scene, Gene sensed human arrogance. Protect those individuals who don't need to worry. The man who said he had to protect was half as natural as any creature on the planet.

Jin draws his steel sword and whips.

52517;! 52517;!

As it grew like a whip, it was enough to pierce the path of the steely blade that swept away the forests and mottled trees in front of it. The efficiency was unparalleled with Machete.

“Every time I see it, it seems like a strange weapon. ”

“... The average person would be more surprised to see your laser saber. ”

If you think about the science involved in beam-emitting weapons with machines and energy, that's not what Ramfil said. Gene breaks through ahead, and Ramfil and Leona follow.

The thickening and shrinking steel sword cleared the wide radius of the bush with every stretch.

Gene wields it around, but the steel sword is a weapon that no one can wield. One of the hunter's weapons was quite difficult to handle, even if it was handled a little incorrectly, to make his arms and legs fly away.

“Maybe we'll meet someone, and we'll introduce ourselves as pilgrims. ”

“Pilgrim?”

“Yes, we are a family of pilgrims heading towards the Twilight Tower. ”

You should no longer look like a hunter as you enter the Twilight Bridge area.

“I am the father, you are the son, you are the daughter. Do you understand?”

In one word, Gene chose a role for himself, and Ramfil and Leona looked at each other with a puzzled look.

“What's a pilgrim? ”

“Head south for Twilight City, home of the Twilight Brigades. The Twilight Tower is the symbol of the city. People here think it's the glory of a lifetime to reach the Twilight Tower and pray for it. It's an easy mask to flip over. ”

Twilight City was founded in the city of Hochimin, and it was an unrivalled size compared to the chaotic free city of Megalopolis.

The pilgrims are respected by the dusk worshippers because it's hard to get there because the streets are far and rough. But the journey they had to walk was very long.

“Oh, that's a little suspicious. ”

Gene took off his coat and put it in the void as if it had just been remembered. As he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, Jean felt like a wanderer exploring the jungle.

Ramfil's L20 and Leona's AK rifle also went into Gene's void. You don't have to live with unnecessary suspicion by showing the villagers you're holding a weapon.

And in the middle of a deep jungle, Leona was distracted by the thought that all the way would be like this.

“The weather is dirty once.... ”

Now, even if the day came in early November, it was hot as hell. The humidity problem was much higher than the sunlight.

“It's not fair. ”

Ramfil is a cyborg and has no influence on the surrounding climate, and so is Gin. In this hellish place, the two of them were perfectly fine, but Leona tasted like death.

“That's not fair.... ”

But Gene and Ramfil had nothing to do with Leona like that.
