Hunter of the Perished World

[235] City of Deception (2)

Saladin leaves without further regard for Leona.

Leona didn't believe her lies were clean. Probably more likely to be suspicious Whether Saladin is shy or not, anyone can doubt the possibility of Leona being asked to keep her mouth shut.

So, Leona didn't care if she found out what she was lying about.

Rather than thinking about the uncertain, now was the time to think about the uncertain. After returning to the lodge, Leona looked around the room.

So far, I don't know, but in the future, someone might sneak in. Leona takes off her coat and lies barefoot in bed.

Hunters think.

‘There was no sign of anyone coming in. ’

‘Salahadin is most likely aware of my lies. ’

"All I could think of was what Shimach Windill had entrusted me with, and all I had to do was gather intel on Shudha. It's not hard for people to guess what kind of quest I'm hiding. ’

‘The important thing is that when people find out about my hidden quest, they will tell me how to treat me. ’

‘Saladin told me that he is not Shudha, but it is hard to believe that. ’

‘There is a way to surmise Saladin that you should give him information about Shudha first…. Not unless you're ready to kill Salahadin. And this is way too dangerous. ’

‘From this moment on, I will definitely be watched. Shimach Windill will keep an eye on me. ’

‘And the most important question... ’

‘Which hand should I raise? ’

‘It's best to stick to the stronger side, but who's stronger...' ’

‘Nobles have an absolute armed force. But all the power's out. If we hold hands, we can get some real help. But nobles aren't fools. You're not holding my hand to protect me. I'm going to use me to find out who Shudha is, and in the end, if I work with them, I have to take the risk. Most of all, the nobles eventually live in the tower, but it's spread all over the city of the tower called Schuhada. It's dangerous to even breathe in this city if you hold the hands of nobles. ’

‘The size or existence of Shudha is unclear. The real power is like that of the nobles.If we hold their hands, it might be possible to use their underground network to hide. But in this case, even if you hold Shudha's hand, you still need to keep in touch with the nobles. I'm gonna be a spy. They must have infiltrated the tower to do the most dangerous and difficult thing, like killing Mystery. There's no way he could have survived something like that. ’

‘It doesn't change the fact that I will always be in the most dangerous position...' Honestly, I hate both of them. But we can't maintain neutrality, damn it. ’

‘It was a mistake to save Rudrey Windill. He's a good kid, but I should have let him die... ’

‘It's complicated…. Let's put aside the uncertainty for now, and just think about the certainty. ’

Hunters judge.

‘First of all, I need to think and move that my entire clan is exposed to others. ’

‘Finding out and moving around on my own is too great a risk. I think we should just stay normal. ’

‘Too little activity is too likely to be suspicious. Let's solve the quest in two to three days. There must be some Watchers in the middle of the quest. ’

‘This time, I need to use my dominance to gather information. The enemy thinks I'm doing nothing. ’

‘First, we need to find out if Saladin is Schhuddah or not. ’

‘Decide who will hold whose hand afterwards. This situation has to last longer than either of my clear enemies or my allies. I'm not trying to solve this case. I'm just trying to hang in there. ’

‘Maybe he was attacked in his sleep. I need to put some bug-like monsters around my room. Okay...'

‘If we find out the true identity of Shudha, we join hands with the nobles. You should be confident that the nobles' armed forces will take care of all of Shudha. ’

‘If you think that Shudha's forces are much larger than I expected, and that they cannot survive in the city of the tower when their eyes are on the ground, you must hold Shudha's hand. If that's the case, I need to slow them down as much as possible to do something dangerous for me. ’

‘If I am deemed irreversibly dangerous, I will summon the dragon whichever hand I have. ’

‘I will never die. ’

"The city of the Burj, Halifana Tower, even if it destroys one of them. ’

The city's absolute majority of Gin, Gin, and Ramfil.

Leona was ready to choose the latter without any worries if she put them on the scale.

Innocent people don't like to die. That's why Leona will try. But if everything fails and he decides his life is on the line, Leona will summon the Black Dragon.

It wasn't his fight anyway, but he was forced into it. You must pay for forcing witches into their fights.

Leona is a witch and a hunter.

Survival is always top priority for hunters.

And then...

The hunter feels questioned.

What the hell is Rachael? ’

As a nobleman, of course I should be on the nobleman's side. Seeing Leona's neutral advice today, I couldn't figure out what it was.

Rachael may be Schhuddle. But it's also not certain.

One thing was for certain, Rachael wasn't the kind of person to judge.

Leona has a nervous breakdown, feeling complicated. A group of snake-like monsters have been caught nearby.

‘Come, watch over me, and wake me up if you think there's a threat to my well-being. ’

The people who know Leona now are very mistaken.

Leona has just arrived in the city and is mistaken for being alone.

But Leona has never been alone since she left Jean. With Leona's command, there are men everywhere who can throw themselves into the fire.

And it's no different in the city of this tower.

Only this time, Leona decided to take advantage of the monsters. Using the psychic wave to empathize clearly had a negative effect on him, but it was better than death.

I was going to use the monsters to gather information and protect myself.

If there was a problem, the intelligence level of the insects was significantly lower. I avoided almost no accidents and did not even bring what I saw.

Even when hunting the first target, the information of the insects was important, but I had to take a long look at the map in order to refine it because I had not been able to convey the location information properly.

That's why Leona needed a proper servant.

But it's hard. Monsters that can be properly thought of are big for once. Therefore, if people wander freely in a large city, they will be hunted or they will be terrified by people.

That's why the most necessary condition for Leona's servant was to have the ability to move freely anywhere without being seen by others, while also being intelligent.

Just like the flares I met in the Twilight Bridge.

Of course, Leona always finds the answer.

There's definitely a monster like that in the world. A creature that is invisible and has free will and intelligent presence.

Leona took the leaflet and presented it to the bartender.

“Here, I got this. ”

“Oh, you know how to hunt ghosts? Not many people know how to be a ghost hunter around here, either. ”

A ghost.

“I'm in a relationship with shamans, so I learned a little over my shoulder. ”

Leona laughs, and the bartender seems surprised that this boy knows how to hunt ghosts.

Leona was going to eat pheasants while saving her minions and solving quests. I originally didn't want to use my dominance to hunt monsters, but I didn't hesitate to use it this time.

“Saladin says the bounty is a specialty. ”

“Don't you have to know how to pick up anything to roll around? ”

“Hahaha! Then! You're right. This guy's a piece of shit. ”

As if Leona's words were funny, the bartender bursts into laughter.

In fact, even hunters were reluctant to hunt ghosts. The number of quests in the world is low. Ghosts don't predict how to fuck themselves.

Above all, it stimulates people's natural fears. Dealing with demons eventually comes in two ways: scientific and magical.

The only way to do it scientifically is with Wargrave.

Only a shaman can do magic tricks.

Of course, the hunter worshippers had many ways to deal with demons, but the main force was destroyed. The remaining members of the hunter cult in the Southeast Asian Basin took a long time to regain their strength.

Shamans with valid abilities are rare, and hunters who gain knowledge from such shamans are rare.

Therefore, most of the missions related to ghosts remain nearly incapacitated, and most hunters specialize in ghost hunting. Of course, that number is very low.

That's why the bartender was surprised to hear that the young hunter knows how to play the ghost.

After completing the mission report, Leona leaves the nest with the quest.

And there was a gaze that was secretly pursuing Leona.

The other day, Ramfil fights with the Grand Master who became a prey. Clearly, Ramfil was overwhelmed by the devil, but the ghost did not die easily. Rather, it grew stronger and stronger with growing hatred.

Eventually, the demon hunter tore it apart, but the fetal power was clearly overwhelming. Like ghosts, it was hard to cope with. The more powerful ghosts, the harder it was to cope with.

Even skilled demon-hunters, if they are a little careless, they eat their souls away from the demons and make sense of them or go mad with fear.

Even if the magical defenses are in place, they are not absolute.

Ghosts are obsessed with physical forms, and therefore bullets do not work. Just as the most intertwined and exotic of monsters is a ghost, Ghost Hunters are also the most intertwined and exotic of hunters.

But what about Leona?

Hunting monsters of all kinds is trivially easy.

At one point, Leona told me once if she had a magical talent for gin or not.

Gene doesn't say anything.

But Leona doesn't need to learn magic.

What if Elizabeth, the high shaman, had stopped trying really hard to weaken the spiritual power in front of Leona?

Ascend.

It is a ghost that disappears in one word.

No understanding or mastery of astronomy is necessary. Just by giving an order, the child is dominated and ascended to fully understand its dominion and command.

Shamans tend to do things differently in the end, but what they do most often is horse-drawn or demonic work.

Leona was able to do them on a literally absolute level. They can make you disappear, they can make you disappear.

Of course, you can't summon lightning and rain in the dry sky, but even the archaeologists want light in Leona's eyes given the monster's influence.

Leona knows what she can do. She's the perfect ghost hunter that even an astrologer can't keep up with. No bullets, no magic rituals.

Leona is now in front of the basement stairwell of a mid-size underground catacombs.

“Th…. You really think you can catch ghosts? ”

An old man looks at Leona with a flickering complexion.

“What's the matter with you? If a ghost reappears again, you'll have to pick it up at the nest. I'll refund your quest fee. ”

The client was a couple who were the caretakers of the Underground Ossuary, and the caretakers were growing thin because a ghost appeared every night to give them a cursed nightmare.

The business that owned the Ossuary was a warm reaction to demonic processing, and the caretaker was about to commission me with my money because he was going to die.

After all, the old man had given up living nearby and was living far away, and the ghost now occupied an underground catacombs.

“Well…. I don't even think I brought a Tiger... Even the flying hunters came here, and they all shook their heads and went back. ”

“Maybe they weren't actually raw meat. All right, wait here. It will be taken care of.”

The underground catacombs in the vacant lot had a spooky atmosphere, even though they were early in the morning. Leona goes down to the Charnel House, leaving the terrified old man alone.

From now on, Leona's job is neither a shaman nor a hunter, so I can't show it to anyone.

As long as all the indiscretions in the world are monsters, no monster can bring terror to Leona. That's why Leona thought it was a good thing that the Ossuary was dark or creepy.

The other hunter looks around carefully, finds traces of demons, and doesn't let the demons run into him with magic, but Leona just stumbles down into the ground with a flashlight and mutters.

“This is why ghosts get annoyed. ”

Leona frowns.

Even Leona felt that ghosts and ordinary monsters were a little different.

The presence was quite weak, so I couldn't feel it well if I didn't raise the psychic wave to a significant level. Leona couldn't figure out what it was because it wasn't physically there.

You can stir up the psychic waves and shake things around you, but that's pretty tiring for Leona. That's why they came here instead of spreading psychics from the nest and gathering the ghosts around them.

“Come out without delay. ”

As Leona shouted, Leona's voice echoed in the Ossuary, and the ghastly wind rose to dust and gradually took shape in front of Leona.

[You summoned me. Great one...]

“Hey, it's dusty. Cough! Cough! ”

[I'm sorry...]

The wind that was hurling at Leona's pint subsides, and immediately, a faint, shapeless figure grows dark in front of Leona.

Being able to materialize in the slightest, but imperfect way, meant at least not at a grasp level. Of course, even so, it was not at the level of gestation.

“Just one more dust and you'll get a good look at the world. ”

[I'll keep that in mind...]

The ghost knew that as long as Leona gave the order, it would disintegrate regardless of her will.

A ghost that shows up at the Charnel House and gives ear to the passers-by, and terrifies five people who come in and out of nowhere and makes them obsessed.

The old man's wife died of a heart attack because she couldn't bear the nightmare this ghost gave her while she was asleep.

This ghost, far superior to the rest of the group, was overwhelmed by Leona's words.

‘What a world. ’

Leona found that strange and tasteful.

“From now on, don't harass anyone unnecessarily. ”

[Yes, I understand.]

“From now on, you will leave here and serve as my servant. Do you have a problem?”

[It's an infinite honor! Great master!]

The spirit that was calling the shape of the car was genuinely delighted. Leona easily recovered one of the Ghost Servants.

Of course, it was quite unpleasant that negative emotions began to convey in empathy with demons. As much control over the psychic waves as possible, Leona was trying to keep the ghost from spreading negatively and deeply.

There is no witch to teach Leona how to use psychosis. That's why Leona had to figure it all out through trial and error.

One of the facts I learned was that ghosts have the greatest negative impact when they rule even though they are slight in existence.

Ghosts are mostly souls that die but are not dead, and the emotions that those souls emit can only have a negative effect on the witch herself.

If most monsters are just animals, ghosts are just a bunch of grudges and hatred.

Dominating and empathizing with such things meant having to endure such negative emotions, so naturally, dominating demons was a tremendous burden on the witch herself.

Of course, that won't drive you mad with a few demons.

It was just that the degree of discomfort was worse than the other cases.

“Now, I came down here to tell you I'm going to kill you and get rid of you. ”

[Yes….]

“Then shouldn't my client at least wait up there to be satisfied? ”

[What can I do?]

Leona simply solved it, but no one else could believe it. So, the client needed to know that something pretty violent was going on.

Leona grins and covers her ears with both hands.

“Screaming forward for ten seconds. ”

Kiyaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The ghost screams, dying with fever and castle, and Leona shuts her ears and smiles with her eyes closed.

I wonder what clowning is all about.
