Hunter of the Perished World

A straight line to Burj Halipa is more than 3,000 kilometers long. Originally it would have taken a tremendous amount of time without a Black Dragon, but there is an advantage that it can fly now.

Boarding was very awkward, but it was not something I had to cover up.

If you calculate that you move about a hundred and fifty kilometers a day, it takes about twenty days. Since the dragons are unfamiliar with flying, flying and moving takes enough rest.

Having to cross the desert, Leona was busy preparing supplies such as preparing enough water and food.

You can get supplies from the big city, but Leona was about to get what she could from here. It was because I already knew the price of water here that I was used to, so I could not use it.

Until you go to the big city and get used to it, you have to be fully prepared here. Leona was not making a hopeful observation that she would be able to meet Gene there unconditionally. It was because they knew that if they were unlucky they might have to spend a long time there as well.

‘If it weren't for him, it would have been really bad. ’

Even if we get Junk Wagon, it will be more than 5,000 kilometers by road. When I think about the slatters of the desert that I will meet while wandering around there, every day was really bloody.

Of course, you wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for the Black Dragon in the first place. Leona's stride is light as a fly, thinking she might be able to reunite with Jin.

“Leona, you look good today. ”

Those with Leona's face pretended to know if she was seeing such a change in mood, and Leona smiled.

“I do this sometimes. ”

“That's odd.”

I couldn't feel Sioui's gaze that was following me anymore. Leona had already ignored that. Leona is so overwhelmed that she doesn't feel sad about the ending. It was a minimum of ten days' flight, and if anything happened in the middle, it would take about a full day.

“I don't have any quests these days, by the way. Aren't you starving? Maybe I should take on a monster quest or something. ”

The person who talked to Leona was the one who ran the bar, and she was one of those who gained anti-profit because she became an inn and tavern celebrity. It was due to the growing demand for alcohol in the tavern that many people were going to see Leona.

“No, I don't work anymore. ”

“Really? What if the hunter doesn't work? ”

“I have somewhere to be. I'll be out in a minute. ”

“Oh, yeah? That's too bad. ”

It's okay for a free city to have someone come and go. That's why catching them is just a greeting. It's a free city where you can get in and out.

Leona stayed for half a year and saw the familiar streets, and her emotions were new. There were a lot of problems elsewhere. In fact, there were some scoundrels who tried to do something about Leona, and after dealing with them, there were often times when the local sheriffs had to run away because they were bad.

As it was not a pleasant place for people to live, Leona's current storms for the past two years have deteriorated.

In that sense, Rigall was a pretty good place to live. After showing off their skills for the first time, there were no savages, and none of the local leaders or survivors gave Leona a reason to put up a fight.

It bothered me because of the small children who were worried about their difficulties, but I didn't have to be picky and resentful because it was based on favors.

But there was definitely some kind of wall between them and themselves.

Leona met them after being completed as a human, so she could never get any closer. Although the secret of the Witch itself was clearly acting, it made it impossible for her already an adult mind to get close to them.

There were some things that prevented a group of monsters passing by from attacking this place. The people of Rigall will never know. And Leona didn't feel too bad about it.

I was only returning what I had earned.

It's always new to feel the last.

Moreover, Leona's heart was sinister because she had never said goodbye to somewhere as neat as this.

I mean...

The day before you left, until something unexpected happened.

After buying groceries, Leona notices that the whole city is in a mess.

Everyone seemed nervous enough to sneak into the house, or someone was heading somewhere in a hurry. It also included the guards of Rigall, the free city. Leona tilts her head to see the people moving in haste.

Slater? ’

The free city of Rigall was the largest city in the area, and a thousand residents fell short of it. That's why there were plenty of armed forces supported by the League of Merchants. That's why a bunch of messed-up slatters are just bullet traps for a shotgun.

Leona may be a human hunter, but she's not one to interfere in other people's business. The urban defense was ultimately about the guards, and it wasn't something that Leona cared about.

People here are each other anyway. Therefore, there was no need to protect more than a degree of loyalty.

The moment Leona turns to go back to the inn.

“Leona!”

Someone's calling Leona. When Leona turned around, there was a four guard leader who often visited the tavern with a face. Leona smiles before he says anything.

“20 chips per head. On the condition that whatever I catch belongs to me. ”

It looked like a hunter who was a reckless hunter.

The 4th Tribune nods, as if to be sure.

“I don't know if it's going to be a fight, but if it is, I promise. ”

If you're a Tribute, you should talk to the sheriff about raising the guards' funds as much as possible. Leona follows behind four trillion burinaques, combining a magazine with an AKM.

“Did you hear what happened? ”

He explained the situation as he ran away. The fight hasn't happened yet, but there's a good chance it will. Leona shakes her head.

“No, I hit him roughly. ”

“Slatters.”

“Is there a lot of numbers? ”

“Not much. ”

“Then why do you need me to shoot him? ”

“That's... Apparently, they're hard to mess with. ”

Leona tilts her head.

“Hard to touch? ”

“Looks like they're in a group. ”

“ ……. ”

Leona's expression stiffens.

I heard rumors of a group in the north of the desert that Leona had heard about it some time ago.

First, Leona runs through chapter four, leaving her thoughts behind.

“What did he want? ”

“Well, you know, take control. ”

“Hmm…. ”

Soon they were able to reach the rubbish wall on Rigall's border, and on top of that, they could already see the guards guarding the perimeter with rubble guns. Leona and the rest of Rigal's hunters were already on the garbage wall, making sure they were aware of the situation.

Burp! Burp! Boom!

Over the wall, you see a group of junk wagons that look about 20 feet tall and slatters riding on them.

A simple number seemed to be about 40, and it was never a small number. It seemed like a good size to set up a messy slater house.

Slater, who appears to be a leader, was talking to the sheriff at the front door, but it wasn't the best way for Leona to hear it.

That would mean giving up the city, so it was obvious without having to hear the details.

“A group of them... I've heard rumors, but I didn't expect it to come down so soon. ”

The 4th mate mutters low, and a young hunter approaches to see Leona spit on the floor. He's a hunter who's just come to Rigal, and he's been in a fairly smooth relationship with Leona because she's been doing a lot of helpless things.

“It's been a while since they came down here... Are we done here, too? ”

“Been a while? ”

“Yeah, they got pushed back by the rice, so I came down south, too. ”

“Pushed?”

“Don't you know? Groups rip the villagers apart and the hunters pay taxes. If you're wrong, you should avoid killing anyone because you're dirty. Chet, I gotta go. ”

Leona tilts her head.

“If you get it wrong, you'll kill anyone? ”

Leona shrugs as if to ask what the young hunter is saying.

“... You know better about that kind of thing, don't you? They're Slatters. I saw them slaughter the villagers they were rebelling against and then roast them with their guns. I can't believe they just let tens of thousands of them get away. ”

He shuddered as if he needed to leave here as soon as possible. Resistance is pointless. How powerless is this free city, Regal, compared to the slater army of tens of thousands.

It is better to accept domination, even if it is looted than annihilation. The way the group occupied the occupied territory was to make the troops fall on their knees rather than fight. Leona knew that was the way of the Sorceress.

But Leona sounds strange to the young hunter.

‘The group is cannibalizing...' ’

At least when Leona saw the group in the past, it was far from that image. Even their leader was the corpse of a commander. They were quite orderly, and did not do anything like robbing the residents.

But the man Leona is talking to right now, he looks pretty bloodied.

It would make sense if Azura had died in the last two years. But underneath Asura, there is a supersonic rate. As long as there was no insurgency in the group and neither supersonic nor arid died, the group would not be able to show such behavior.

If the Sorceress had not changed the route to allow the slatters to visit to some extent, it would have to be. Leona suddenly realizes by looking at the slatters in the group and the sheriff who are having a serious conversation.

‘No, it's weird at first. ’

Just two years ago, the group had a place in the Black Dragon Castle area of Old China.

The year was long for Leona, but it was too short for a group in Central Asia to reach Africa.

Leona could not believe that she had reached more than 8,000 kilometers in just two years, and the reality of taking control of it itself was unbelievable. If you've moved a Node, you've moved it. It's physically impossible to spread power here.

Others do not know.

These are only visible to Leona, who knows where the group is located and where it started.

Leona can see the group for herself.

Only then did Leona check their weapons. That's what Junkwagon can do.

But all the firearms they were holding in the vehicle were scrap guns.

‘Fuck.’

What a group that wants to expand its power has to show is their overwhelming power. Forty slatters are certainly not small, but they should show the maximum force of the group and lead the enemy to surrender.

Assault rifles are basic, and I need you to bring me some rocket launchers and mortars. Leona knows the group's weapons aren't that bad.

The group is not big enough to hold a shotgun like that to slatters on the front line. Then the conclusion is simple.

For two years, the group has fallen enough to have to cross this side of the desert.

Maybe they borrowed the group's notoriety.

This is certainly a short time for the group to expand to this continent.

But it was enough time for the rumors to spread. Rumors of a large group of slatters, called the group, add weight to the flesh. Obviously, rumors about the group have been spreading here for quite some time. The caravans of the world carry not only supplies, but also rumors.

In that case.

Who the hell are those things?

I don't need to think about it for long.

When I think about it, it was a strange time.

There were no rumors that the group had reached Saudi Arabia, but at some point the group began to swallow up the Northern Desert.

Slatters would deliberately use Franz to spread such rumors throughout southern Africa, inciting people to surrender in fear of the group.

I borrow the status of another group and take advantage of it.

Leona knows that the slatters weren't just cruel. Sometimes they're incredibly clever. They're not the only ones who survive because they're crazy.

The group has to cross the vast Middle Eastern desert to really get here, so it's either impossible or it's a distant future.

It's a simple and sophisticated operation that leverages geographic advantages and simultaneously leverages group delegation. Leona felt horrified to imagine that Slatters had used Franz to spread the word of the Free City to the very beginning.

There were only that many Southern Africans playing around, and actually some free cities are playing around.

Many slater armies that did not exist would already be dominated by several free cities, towns and points.

The group will leave Slater in the occupied area as a guard, but they won't. I'll probably just go out and do the surrogacy. Or compulsory recruitment.

I don't know how far they'll go, but if their leader is an extraordinarily resourceful man, in the future, this South African will become a large group for the group.

Leona laughed at this situation.

Leona was exercising false dominance with a fake army, and in the future, she had a situation in front of her eyes where the fake army could actually be created.

Leona doesn't do things she doesn't want to do, things she doesn't want to do, things she doesn't want to pay for.

That's not what a hunter is.

But in just two years,

I've only been a hunter for two years.

Leona stabs four trillions in the side with the elbow.

“Uh, why...? ”

The 4th mate was flawed when he suddenly spoke to me at a moment of tension.

“Those guys are fake. ”

“What?"

“It's fake.”

“I don't know... ”

Leona shrugs as her 4th mate is frozen.

“Looks like they've organized a rumor that the group has taken over the Northern Desert and are using their fears to destroy the southern desert. ”

Leona only lived as a hunter.

So,

Sometimes blood boils.

“Let's put a hole in those little bastards' heads. ”

Leona grins as she looks at the young hunter standing beside her.

“Can you handle it? ”

The hunter mutters fearfully, looking at the forty slatters in front of him.

“You know that, right? ”

Heave-ho!

Leona finishes her load without a word, and she sets her sights and aims without a response from anyone.

Bang!

Immediately, the gun bursts into flames.

A slater falls down with a vent in its head.

Originally silent, Leona whistles in a static ice freezer like cold water.

And then...

“Attack.”

Someday.

“The best defense. ”

That's what I heard from him.
