Hunter of the Perished World

After about an hour of struggle, the mosquitoes suddenly begin to leave. As one or two of them flew into the air, many remaining mosquitoes suddenly flew into the air and began to leave Sorwin's compound in an instant.

Of course I had to.

Their nostrils couldn't even penetrate the skin strengthening ramfil and gin, and the number of mosquitoes had dwindled nearly half an hour. Just the two of them.

You face an enemy you cannot resist, and eventually the mosquitoes have to go back.

“Don't shoot, just let it go. ”

Gene frowns as if the mosquito's bodily fluids all over his body were offensive. Gene looks at the mosquito swarms flying through the sky, and there are no gaps in their feet and the debris of the large mosquito is scattered.

Gene looks at the debris and says,

“The inferior.”

“The inferior?”

Ramfil tilts his head.

“We abandoned our advantage and became inferior. The advantage of mosquitoes is that they're so small and fast that they're hard to notice, but they've grown, so they're inferior. ”

Gene adds by extracting the chips one by one from the mosquito debris.

“These are creatures, too. They evolve over generations, and evolution is fairly fast, and some of them, by the way. These guys have evolved so badly. ”

I abandoned the benefits of the mosquito and grew.

“If you're going to be big, you'll have to have other offensive measures, but all they had was saliva. ”

The saliva was the weapon, that's all. That is why you are powerless in front of Jin and Ramfil, where no attack is possible at all. If we're going to abandon our advantage and evolve, we need other protective measures or advantages, and those giant mosquitoes didn't have that. Growing in size was more evolution than pros and cons.

Of course, the two mosquitoes dealt with were a little special, but ultimately there was no improvement compared to the large ones.

“A proper predator would destroy the colony. ”

If I met a reptile with a thick crust, I could almost destroy the colony without doing anything about it. As always, there is natural selection among monsters. Those mosquitoes, which evolved incorrectly, eventually needed a lot of energy to move the big ones. There was no food to kill, or to be eaten by a whole herd of predators, or to face the consequences of either.

Ramfil helped extract gin from the mosquito corpse by finding its nucleus. Leona was beautiful, too. The notion of evolution is unknown, but I didn't fully understand that the colony would perish on its own.

But that is what Gene would have done.

The colony is much stronger than a lone monster in that it forms a herd. However, there is a clear weakness in the fact that the core is being directed at the Queen.

Bees build hives, ants dig holes to protect the queen. Obviously, the mosquito was a monster that didn't fit the colony method.

“The wrong evolution.... ”

Ramfil chewed on the words as if they were strange. Evolution doesn't always go in the right direction. The only thing that survives is individuals who fail again and again and choose an evolution optimized for survival.

Mosquitoes that have chosen to fail evolution will face a predetermined death.

“What about humans? ”

“Hmm?"

Ramfil asks with a worried expression.

“Has man evolved successfully? ”

“… I'm not an evolutionary chemist and I don't have the right knowledge of it, but the scale for determining a successful evolution is not that difficult. ”

“What's that? ”

Leona asked.

“If the species had lived so far, it would have evolved successfully. If it's extinct, it's failed evolution. ”

Humans have declined dramatically even after the world was destroyed, but are still alive. Since its demise, humans have not undergone any other evolution. The mere existence of human beings still leaves room for us to successfully evolve.

Gene smiles as if it were an interesting question.

“And it turns out that in the past, humanity could eliminate one species, whether the evolution of another was successful or not. ”

Humans were seized with the right to life and death of all species. Apart from the evolutionary successes of the species, humanity clearly had that power, and even protected some species. Arrogantly.

Not now, but there was definitely a time.

Gene smiles.

But it was more of a cynical thing, not a fun laugh. No such power has been given to man at this time, but surely man is still alive.

“Humans, very successfully evolved. ”

Human beings have evolved too successfully, striking their own extinction as well as other species.

There was only one human being on Earth who strangled me and made me look like this.

Yuck...

And the villagers, one by one, were coming out, confirming that the commotion had stopped.

Obviously it was an inevitable situation and I had to fight. And if I'm right, Jean's group has been saving Sorwin's quarters, and they've done more than that.

But most importantly, it was an L20 laser rifle strapped to a strap of gin, a steel blade, and a lambil.

Looking at those carrying things that shouldn't be on the ground, the appearance of the villagers changed.

“Hunter.... ”

“I'm a hunter.... ”

“I lied... ”

“The corpse... ”

It didn't take long for the eyes of the villagers to turn into fear, fear, fear, and anger. Only two people massacred the whole area with mosquito bodies.

It was natural for him to look more demonic than a hero, and he had to be excluded from the Sunset Bridge.

“Aren't you afraid of the wrath of dusk? ”

Someone shouts in shock. They had forgotten that they had already been saved. Those who appear to be helping them are only hunters possessed by the devil.

“Everyone in the house! ”

His voice echoes, and the villagers hide in their huts as if they were on fire. Gene stares quietly at the approaching synagogue.

“No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a pilgrim. ”

The priest said in a sad manner that he didn't know how to express his gratitude. Gene did not serve any more lies in the already exposed yard.

“I'm sorry. ”

“ ……. ”

“As you might think, I'm a hunter. ”

There can be no more cursing words here. Hunters who hunt monsters to extract blue crystals and use them to make more weapons and hunt more monsters were the only enemies of the Twilight Bridge.

The synagogue closed its eyes slightly as Gene admitted it, then reopened.

“Worry about the wrath on your filthy souls. You have insulted this land, mocked the Twilight Bride, and deceived even the High Priestess. Aren't you afraid of sin? ”

As Leona steps forward, Ramfil grabs Leona by the shoulder. Obviously, Ramfil was more of an adult than Leona. Gene nods as if there was nothing big about it.

“You wouldn't be afraid, would you? ”

“You thunder-naked bastard! There's nothing to be afraid of! ”

“ ……. ”

I vomited on the Pantheon's fury frozen no-ho, but I couldn't dare to use force on the hunter who just destroyed the mosquito swarm. Eventually, Leona stepped forward, spraying Ramfil's hands. Gene is silent, and then Leona suddenly pushes her head into the dirt.

“What the hell are you yelling about? ”

“What...? ”

“I saved everyone's life, and now this son of a bitch is barking his mouth off, and you want me to put a bullet in his head? When I'm fighting like a pig, I always hide and be safe, so I get insulted and harassed. What are you guys?”

Leona yells out, "I want to kill you right now."

“Maybe you use people as you like and then turn your back on them? That's fucking sacred, you motherfuckers! ”

“Y-yeah, you devil bitch! ”

“What a fanatic! ”

“Wow, Cultists? I'm a Cultist!”

“Enough, Leona. ”

Jean grabs Leona's shoulder gently and turns to herself, her face twitching in fury. Jin glances at the other temple with a cold gaze. He looked just like Leona.

“Looks like the Twilight Brigades' synagogue is having a little sex with kids these days. ”

“If you think I'm going to be scared because I have a weapon... ”

“I don't want to repay you for saving my life. I know who you are, even if you're a copycat. So let's stop. It's costly.”

“Rip that vile, deaf devil to shreds... ”

“Save your words. ”

Gene's face is horribly stiffened by the sinister words of the High Septon. Jin froze the synagogue without saying a word, then said as if warning.

“If you don't want to spend the rest of your life as an old man in a backroom with his tongue pulled out. ”

Jean tolerated the blame against herself, but was sensitive to Leona's last words. The Shrine's expression is furious, but the hunter's vigor is dire. Even Leona forgot to mention it. After a brief silence, the High Septon opened his mouth.

“... or I will forgive your blasphemy and disrespect. Get out.”

Gene nods at the ulcer. But it wasn't Leona.

“Someone's being rude! Who's gonna forgive you now? This dove... Oops! ”

“Don't waste your strength. Let's go.”

“Woo! Woo! ”

Ramfil picks up what he deserves, and Gene leaves town without letting Leona shine. Gene was the best at knowing that the curse was useless, even though the High Septon cast it behind his back.

“You should have insulted me more! ”

Leona grumbles and looks like she's lost her mind. As soon as they know that they're definitely hunters, they forget everything Jean's group did to them and turn into a dirty, horrible look in their eyes.

“It's better this way. ”

“Better?”

“They're scared because it's a small area, and if it was a small area, they would have tried to kill us by now. ”

Leona made an impression. Obviously, they were poorly armed and outnumbered, so they couldn't even attempt an attack.

“That's unreasonable, don't you think it might be life-threatening for us to take that attitude? ”

Ramfil mutters, purely curious. Obviously, messing with Jean's group wasn't the right choice. If Jean was angry and started using violence, then Sorwin would be gone by today.

“Don't try to understand. That's what religion is.”

Beliefs sometimes put their lives on the line, and religion shares that context.

“Rather, of course. Those hunters are the ones I've been trained to be enemies of humanity and faith all my life. ”

That's why physiological unpleasantness and objection are preceded. Of course, no matter what the group has done for the district of Sorwin, it does not fall into consideration.

“Tsk, these guys are weird. ”

The Twilight Cult.

Now that the concept of religion had become so sparse in their societies, their religious attitudes were only peculiar and frightening to Leona and Ramfil. It was certainly a frightening sight that their attitude had shifted like a palm.

Entering a society of people with rules I didn't know was never easy.

There, Sorwin's quarters are just a very small village. Leona became anxious about what would happen if she went to a larger district or a free city.

“I completed the quest and received my reward. Then it's over. ”

In fact, they did not even try to reclaim the rewards they had given them in Sorwin's quarters. So, in fact, the losing party has nothing to lose. I got rid of the mosquito swarm and extracted the chips, so I actually benefited.

When Leona considers that, she realizes there's no harm she's actually seen, then nods slowly.

“By the way, aren't mosquitoes still healthy? ”

”Of course.“

”I think there's a risk of being raided again. “

A group of mosquitoes rearranged might attack Sorwin's compound again. They've already eradicated the mosquitos, so they've handed most of their preparations over to the group.

So, in fact, the neighborhood is now defenseless. When Leona thinks that, she looks worse.

”Well, what can I do? “

”You said you'd get a reward for completing the quest. Then it's over. “

It means that the mosquito swarm has been devastated by its reappearance, so no matter what happens, nothing will matter.

Leona and Ramfil don't know Gin very well, but they do now.

Gene doesn't complete quests directly. A hunter who works by finding and solving true causes.

If they knew Gene was a hunter and thanked him, he would have found the mosquito site and defeated Brood Mother, the core of the herd.

But I didn't do it this time.

Instead, Leona, who was jumping up and down, suddenly became overwhelmed. But Gene was walking forward as if he had no idea, and there was no turning back at all.

Leona and Ramfil had only just realized.

It's cruelest thing for them to leave Sorwin's quarters in silence. That's why Gene didn't try to talk long with those who were about to die. They're going to die anyway. Why are they consuming emotion?

Gene clearly taught me things I didn't need to know. But they got rid of Jin's group, who saved the village twice.

So Gene didn't really feel the need to provide special services. Leona realizes that Gene was the most ruthless decision ever made when she left Sorwin's quarters without saying a word.

We can't save them all. Of course it's true.

So there's no need to force me to save someone I don't like.

That's why Gene didn't even bother with the Shrine. Soon you will realize how important it was for them to be rejected and humiliated. Doing this is just a physical expense.

Humans to Demon Hunters are just meaningless beings who will eventually die.

Although it was very easy to save someone, it was also possible to avoid someone's death very easily.

Leona looked strange to me.

”Those bastards, let's make them talk nicer! “

Leona had no choice but to grumble. Even if I had said one word correctly, I was sure that Sorwin would have been able to escape the scheduled crisis.

But the hunter has already turned his back and will never return.
