Hunter of the Perished World

[199] If you cannot be the wind, do not love the wind (3)

Every time I flapped my wings, the boy stared dazed at the unrealistic yet magnificent gigantic creature that was coming at a time.

Far away, it comes to the boy in mysterious ways. There is such a huge, overwhelming creature in the world.

And as it gets closer, the giant, which was just mysterious to the boy, comes to a different meaning.

The black fuselage, the full-bodied darkness, and the tentacles like the white innards boiling inside the giant.

Even the cute red eyes.

As we get closer, the mystery comes to the boy's eyes in fear.

“Uh, uh... ”

That's coming right at us. The thought of running away in the boy's head began to rise.

And as frightened as I thought about running away, Leona reached out to her.

No matter how good a hunter Leona is, she can't hunt anything like that. That wasn't even the size of a hunter to hunt, and it didn't look like one.

The approaching giant completely annihilates the hostile will. The monsters that the boy saw were all corpse hunters, and even with the corpse, the boy was still stingy.

It was okay for anyone to see something like that and be brave.

The boy climbs down out of the tree and runs to the river where Leona is.

“Leona!”

I was relaxing and washing myself without knowing what danger was coming to me.

Just know what kind of situation that idiot is in, and be cool!

“Leona! It's a monster! ”

Sioui shouted urgently, revealing Leona's moonlight Nazi. But Sioui was in no situation to focus on that.

Leona was not embarrassed or trying to conceal her body after seeing the sudden peeper.

“You know how brave we are, you meek rat? ”

Rather, he smiled as if he knew.

“Huh, huh? ”

Leona wipes herself with a towel, puts on her underwear, and finishes her clothes. Leona looks at Sioui, who is missing something, wondering what's going on.

“Well done. ”

“Th-that's not it. Monsters, monsters... ”

Leona looks fierce and has a charming smile.

“If you ran, you'd be dead. ”

Leona smiles at what's so funny, as if to thank you for your courage.

Kuang!

Soon, the great black dragon landed in front of Leona with a trembling sound of the earth, and fell facedown, choking his head like a dog wagging its tail.

Leona talks to the Black Dragon, excluding Sioui, who is squatting and trembling.

[I did as you asked.]

“Half a year's worth of rumors, right? ”

[I'm not sure. But it looks like the hunters of Taj have been sniffing around.]

“Yes, a demon-hunter can't know enough to entice a hunter. What about Wargrave?”

[Wargrave has no movement.]

“Good.”

Obviously, if you're looking for Leona, you should be. Leona asked the Black Dragon to find Gene for her. Unlike Leona, black dragons have wings that allow them to travel around the world much more freely.

But that wasn't the way to finally find Gene. A Black Dragon is a monster after all, and when a monster appears, people just hide. Since it's impossible to investigate, it's only possible to find the Demon Hunter with the Black Dragon's naked eye.

Leona changed her mind as she continued to fail.

If it's hard to find the Demon Hunter, you can make him find you. Soon, you'll be famous. Notoriety or whatever, once his existence becomes famous, Gene will find himself.

Leona thought about how she could become so famous. You can gather monsters and create a kingdom of monsters to let them know that the witch has returned to the world. But in this case, the risk was too great for her, and Leona didn't want to use her dominance that way.

Rather, it was like preaching to the passengers that their ego was hardened by the monsters' emotions.

It was a long time ago that I became famous as a hunter. As a famous hunter, Leona wasn't a demon-hunter, and I didn't know how long it would take.

That's why Leona chose to use Black Dragons.

A black dragon looks intimidating, and its overwhelming threat is not easy to bear without a tongue.

Of course, there must be something to be heard, but there must be a legitimate prerequisite that there are many people to be told.

Leona had already thought about that.

There are only three megalopolis in the world.

New Hong Kong, China.

Solarium in Budapest, Europe.

To Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Southwest Asia.

Of those three metropolitan cities, Leona intended to take advantage of the population of Burj Halifa. I didn't do anything more trivial than I thought. Leona makes the Black Dragon roam the area.

I'm sure Jean saw the Black Dragon that flew away with her.

Those who were frightened themselves would spread rumors of dragons appearing, and they would reproduce rumors of black dragons roaming the landscape through the city.

And when Gin arrives in Burj Khalifa, she has to wait there.

Leona hadn't been there herself because she thought the danger of Wargrave flirting with the Black Dragon was real. After half a year of wandering around the area, I've confirmed that Wargrave is quiet, and now Leona's planning on waiting for us to head there.

If you've already arrived, you can find Gene's location at the nest there, or you can wait for him to finish the quest at the nest.

Leona wasn't the only one who stood still.

The Black Dragon was quite a comforting acolyte for Leona, though it bothered her that she was loyal to her own kind, and that she could communicate without the use of the psychic waves.

When the black dragon landed on this distant land, Leona screamed and blamed herself for death. But I didn't hate it just because I knew that the fallout would kill me.

Although I had to break up with Gin because of the Black Dragon, Leona now knew that I would end up living in a future where I could reunite with her.

Sioui is surprised that Leona makes a monster sound like a horse, but when she hears a story about a world other than herself called Wargravy, she can't keep her fingers tight.

Even if that monster's mouth is stunned, it will turn to dust and disappear.

[Do you intend to kill him?]

A Black Dragon asked me, staring at the boy quietly.

“Why, are you hungry? ”

When Leona smiled and looked at the boy, he looked pale.

[I flew for a long time, but I did.]

“Uh, uh... ”

It was not a psychic conversation, so I heard it from the boy, and Siwooi slowly retreated, trembling. Leona shakes her head as if to see a scared boy.

“Leave it. If you kill an innocent kid for a peek, even with a twisted corner, it's like a real witch, right? ”

Of course, Leona wasn't going to kill Sioui, although I wouldn't say anything about knife-bearing.

“Stay cool and come when you call. We're leaving in a few days. ”

[Yes.]

The dragon flaps its giant wings and flies away somewhere. Only Siu and Leona are left by the river. Leona takes her luggage, puts her rifle over her shoulder, and stares at Siu.

The expression of horror about the inevitable seemed far from the admiration, awe, and loving gaze that the boy had been building toward him until recently.

Siu looked at Leona and his lips trembled. The boy was just reviewing what Leona said.

“D-d-d-don 't... Witches?"

“Do you know what a witch is? ”

Leona is no longer the little girl who was hurt by what she called a witch and hid into my shell. Leona is now responsible for her own life, and has grown to rely on a gun to kill her enemies and make a living.

That's why it doesn't hurt to see the boy's frightened face.

‘Course it is. I know.'

I'm just realizing.

The Ramfil and Jean who accepted themselves were unusual.

Gene never accepted himself because he was a demon-hunter, not because of the horror that Leona came from being a witch.

Ramfil treats himself as if it had nothing to do with it.

That's why, seeing Sioui with a normal reaction, you realize that Jin and Ramfil are more needed than anyone else.

You have to meet them to stay human.

To not settle down with monsters in hostility, hostility, and horror.

I didn't know the boy's name in front of me, but Leona knew he was still looking at her.

Occasionally, he knew that when he went to wash his body last night, he followed behind his back. If I really peeked, I thought I'd dig my eyes out. But I was amused to see the boy finally not peeking.

Leona wondered, looking at the boy, who was quite wicked and innocent at the same time.

What will this boy look like when he finds out who he is?

Leona laughs, also looking at the boy who makes an anticipated face.

“See?”

Leona shrugs.

“I'm not that easy. ”

Leonara's indiscretion of being a mere young hunter is not acceptable to ordinary people. The girl who thought she was a little special, she couldn't even be seen on the same human ship.

“So.”

Seeing Sioui, who can't even answer, Leona passes by her like the wind.

“If you were going to back off, you shouldn't have come near me. ”

And he whispers in small whispers.

You might have expected a little.

Not just Gin and Ramfil, but there are more people in the world who can accept themselves.

I don't want to rely on them, but they might want to know that they're not the only two in the world.

However, such expectations slip, and Leona just realizes the fact and leaves the boy dazed, returning to the way he came.

It's a selfish wind.It's ridiculous to ask you to understand. Leona doesn't hurt a boy because she knows that. I'm just warning you not to come near me.

If you're going to look at me like a monster, just tell me not to look at me.

Sioui realizes that the girl she has taken away is just a passing wind for herself.

Maybe the wind was as strong as a gust, and I had no choice but to be distracted by it.

The boy sat by the river with a frown on his face.
