Hunter of the Perished World

[280] The Way Hunters Are Sent, The Way Hunters Leave (2)

Of course, unlike Leona, Ramfil and Frey soon returned. The expression is blunt, with a reasonable distance, as if nothing had happened between them.

Both of them were not violent humans, so expressing their minds was enough. Leonardo, who is aware of the situation, was both so confused as to what he had just seen.

“Leona told me about you. ”

“Talk? Ah... ”

After agreeing to accompany you, Frey nods slowly, with nothing particularly secret.

“I have a question, is it okay to ask? ”

Gene knows that Frey is struggling with himself, and that's why he asked you carefully as if he cares about Frey's situation. Frey shakes his head slightly and nods slowly.

“What...? ”

“When you bombarded Busan Fortress, BMCP showed up with more than 100 times as many monsters as usual. ”

In the aftermath, BMCP was dormant, and it was not just a recall of Frey, but also a sweep through the progress database. Ramfil put up a fight.

“I was thinking strange.... ”

“What's weird? ”

It was Leona's question, and Jean answered.

“You know, the MCPs show up with big monsters. 100 times over there.”

Monsters appear about 100 times more frequently than usual. What does that mean?

“No matter how many Fortress residents there are, it's almost impossible to hunt that many monsters. ”

Fortress had to be destroyed. You can't deal with 100 times as many monsters as ten times over. However, Gene was confused about the prototype, the White Witch and Leona when he checked the data in Busan Fortress at the time. I wasn't even thinking about uncovering the secret.

After meeting Fray like this again, Gene was sure it was a strange thing.

“Busan Fortress should have disappeared by then. Everything.”

It doesn't make sense to cover the work of 100 Fortress in one place. Frey looks at Gin and asks, "What's wrong with that?"

“But Fortress was fine.... Maybe it's because there are more troops there than anywhere else... I don't know about the other Wargrave Fortress. ”

“The teacher you saw. ”

Frey's expression hardened. He was an abomination that left a huge scar in Frey's bland life. I've heard from Leona, but I've heard stories about Frey's actions and experiments.

On top of that, Busan Fortress is safe with over 100 times more monsters than usual.

Clue two.

One assumption.

But the assumption is closer to sure.

Jin said something shocking.

“It's probably Carltz. ”

“! ”

I couldn't hide my fear from them all.

“Obviously…. That's what I heard later. ”

Frey's eyes tremble.

About a year after Elle's escape, there was once a commotion.

The executioner from last year. I heard you don't work for the Central Asian Army. ’

W-what are you talking about? ’

‘I don't know. When Warlord asked me to locate the Central Guard, he said there was no enforcer by that name, and it sounded like nothing. ’

No, I'm pretty sure we passed all the security and did a full military sweep. I'm sure you've checked all the lab staff. I heard you were an executive sent directly from Central Asia Military Command because your research was slow... ’

‘Yeah, I know. All entry and exit records are gone. I mean, that guy's never been in here on a computerized basis? ’

‘Huh... I feel haunted by a ghost... ’

‘Anyway, all the unrelated outsiders are in and out, so if this gets out, it's all a bust. That's why they said it never happened. ’

"No, then who was it? ’

Would you do that if you knew? ’

‘Then, if you look... He was a weirdo. ’

‘That's enough. When it's done, all the enforcers are the ones who haven't been here, who haven't been here. We're still making progress. ’

Frey also listens to the conversation, but it doesn't matter what happened to Wargrave. That's why I forgot the story.

But now, Gene nods with a confident look on his face.

“Perhaps when your abilities exploded, Khaltz defeated the monster inside the MCP. ”

“Is that so...? ”

It may be difficult for the Demon Hunter, but Calz has made Wargrave. Because I didn't know what kind of outputs I had on my body, I couldn't beat a hundredfold monster.

“You've been hiding your identity and doing things like that with Wargrave.... ”

It's a security program. It's nothing to hack or manipulate Kaltz. There's nothing unusual about creating a cover. Almost everything in Wargrave is computerized, and Carltz built that system. If you can manipulate that computerization at your own pace, Caltz will assume you can't do it within Wargrave.

Ashfile proves that Carltz wasn't just hiding in plain sight.

He made his way directly to the BH and retrieved the demon's blood from Ashfile. And through it, we conducted demonic experiments on the Hive in New Hong Kong.

“Then there's a good chance that the Hive experiment is also involved with Calz. ”

Even if I did not take part, I was very likely to be there disguised as a researcher.

Leona and Gin nod at Ramfil's words. The nightmare-like place that was deep underground was firmly embedded in the brains of Jin and Ramfil. Frey stares at Gin as if he still doesn't understand.

Gene sighs for a short time before supplementing his explanation.

“Me and Calz are demon-hunters. That's why we know how witches awaken their power. ”

“Well... ”

Frey awakened his strength through anger, which is intense psychosis. Using that knowledge, Kaltz stimulated Frey. And as intended, Frey awakens to power.

“I think I know what that feels like. ”

Leonardo nods. Gene told Ruwin, chairman of the Odin Corporation in New Hong Kong, that he was going to die for Leona, and that Leona exploded through a fierce rage at the time.

Powerful mental stress can explode a witch's psychic powers. Demon hunters know that. Just as Gene once used his knowledge to provoke Leona's power.

The experiment that was done on Frey itself could not have been done unless it was for Khaltz.

Someone who knows how a witch's power is expressed, who can defeat an MCP that spills 100 times more monsters than usual, and who can manipulate Portris' security programs on their own.

If it's not Calz, it's weird.

“Calz must have done some demonic experiments in the Hive in New Hong Kong, achieved some results, and then created a demon in Busan Fortress. Carltz must have impersonated the executor as Busan Fortress, knowing the progress of the experiment was slow... ”

Frey nods slowly, convincing. And in those sparkly eyes, some emotions were filling up.

Anger only sleeps.

That feeling never dies.

Rage engraved on the soul will never be forgotten.

“That's a relief. ”

Frey remains even a faint smile.

“I knew exactly who he was playing with me. ”

So it's a good thing. And this group is headed where he is. How many lives have been played by Carls? Lamfil quietly lays his hand on Frey's shoulders, shaking in anger.

“That's a little weird. ”

“What?”

Ramfil raises his questions slowly in Leona's presence.

“There's a lot of things Carls doesn't understand. ”

Gene nods, agreeing.

“The experiment tore Wargrave apart, and now the result is war..." Why would they do an experiment in such a remote place? ”

Gene replied.

“Solarium and the city in this tower may not have Wargrave influence. ”

The city of the tower has a very weak influence over Wargrave due to other fortresses. As a result, New Hong Kong was the best place to find materials. After obtaining the data, it was Wargrave's idea to use the ship to cross the sea to create a true demon.

Even if a monster is created that is too dangerous, we have enough time to prepare a countermeasure while the demons circumvent the continent.

This could be done in the command area where Carltz is expected to be. New Hong Kong was the farthest of the three major cities in the world.

Carltz must have gotten a lot of data from participating in the Demon Experiment, and Frey's just awakened power in Busan. And now that Frey has awakened as a complete demon, Charlotte has obtained this data as well.

New Hong Kong clearly had the optimal positioning for the Devil's Experiment, and Busan was close to New Hong Kong and was a peninsula area, so both places were well thought out for reasons of being clearly containment and response.

However, due to the current consequences of war, Kalz's actions did not make sense. Ramfil had never met Kaltz, so he was confused about what I was hiding in this situation.

“There are two possibilities. ”

Gene told me.

“Carls needs this war for some reason. ”

We may need a war. What if it's not?

“Or it doesn't matter what Wargrave is now. ”

Something Carls has prepared that will bring fair destruction to everyone, so you don't have to worry about Wargrave, part of the world.

Both of them made it clear that they were unpredictable. Leona grins as she looks at Ramfil and Gin, discussing complicated stories.

“What makes you so complicated? ”

Leona makes a gun with her finger, "Boom! ’I laughed a little.

“There's only one more reason to fuck him, isn't there? ”

If Calz is the ‘teacher' in Busan Fortress, there is only one outcome.

There's only one more reason to kill Carltz, and considering something else is just a problem.

Leona laughs endlessly at what she said.

“It's late. ”

It was time for everyone to go to bed, and Elizabeth had already fallen asleep in bed in the evening.

“We have to leave tomorrow, so get some sleep. ”

It was time to walk the long road again.

The next day,

Preparations were short.

the winds that control the weather freely,

A Phantomvein that absorbs the blood of demons and exerts the ultimate power of demon-killing.

An item that fights against spells and can be used with a significant amount of Dark Bone Energy.

There, Ramfil also had an ear blade named Changwol (). When Leonardo Ramfil first showed me Changwol, I looked at him with my eyes wide open.

In the end, the four amulets deserved to be labeled "Great Law Balls."

But right now, Leona wasn't jealous of any of those four Grand Laws.

Leona sighs as the door to the void opens and closes.

“Since Fantombane is a thousand winds, since it's spellbinding, Changwol, the best of the Great Law spheres is empty. I'm sure.”

Leona nods her head, saying that it is the pinnacle of injustice and beneficial to humans. Gene smiles at Leona in disguise.

The vacuum cleaner was useful, but it was definitely not something to call a grand law.

“If you pick up a foreign body somewhere, you won't be able to make it. ”

It's just something I can't make because I don't have demons anymore.

“Please tell me you can't, just say you can't." God damn it! ”

Leona grumbles. Even though the Hollow Keeper is not such a high-end amulet, it is no longer possible to produce an item without the Devil.

While the squabbling continues, Jean and her group are able to see Rudrey, who had left early after breakfast.

“Are you leaving so early? ”

There was no one going back and forth on the Dawn Feast. If there were a crowd, there would be a commotion in the name of praise again, so I was going to start early. So it was only Rudy who let them go.

“Yes, you should. ”

Rudred smiles sadly, as if to regret it.

Everything that happens in the city of the tower is actually just the beginning.

As a hunter, Bondi is not involved in the beginning of anything, even if it's the end of everything. You don't build something to kill and destroy.

Leona has finished something in the city of this tower, and the beginning belongs to those left behind. No one came out with Rudrey. Probably wants to transmit alone.

Rudred leads the group out the back door, making sure they have something prepared in advance. Leona's eyes glint.

“It's Wagon, right?”

There were two armed Wagons.

“I've prepared the best for you. This is all I can give to those of you who have helped me so much. I'm sorry."

“No, no, no! Thank you so much!”

If I had to travel a long way to find Wagon, I could do a tremendous distance reduction. But Leona suddenly felt flawed by the thought.

I don't mind being alone, but there was a fierce Junkwagon hater here.

“Th-that's okay... Mister...? ”

But Gene was already running PTSD to check on Wagon's condition. Elizabeth and Frey don't understand that kind of gin, and Ramfil grins as he looks at it.

“That's a disease. ”

“The most serious kind of disease you have. ”

Leo and Ramfil look at each other and laugh. It was also a sight I missed because I met him again.

“Why do you care if Wagon blew up in the first place or not? ”

“It's a psychological problem. ”

“If it's psychological, it's just psychological. ”

“Physiologically unacceptable is also hard to accept. ”

Gene, who sloughs his ulcer, quickly searches for safety components such as wagon starters and more.

“And that's a problem because I'm okay with the other side. ”

Gene and Ramfil were okay, but Elizabeth, Leona, and Frey might be in danger there. Lamfildo stares closely at Frey and starts checking on Wagon's condition.

Bang, bang!

Leona bursts into laughter as she looks at both of the star-crossed bonnets.

“That's a shame.”

Ramfil or Jean.

Two people who didn't care if Wagon exploded were doing a safety check on Wagon.

Jinn nods as if he was relieved.

“That's a pretty good ride. Thank you."

It is clearly not a junk wagon, but rather a wagon, and stability is a top priority. It was worth calling it a different kind of vehicle than Junkwagon.

“Ah…. Yes.”

Rudred nods, smiling awkwardly. Elizabetta and Frey are in the wagon that Ramfil is pulling. Leona decides to ride in Gin's car. All aboard, Leona's last encounter with Rudred.

“When this place settles down, I'm afraid I'll become a hunter, too. ”

“What are you doing here? ”

“I'm one of those people who needs to disappear. ”

Rudy had no intention of staying in Dragon City for long. After dealing with the nobles, Rudred was also thinking he shouldn't be here. Leona had no intention of coercing Rudrey's life.

Leona gave Rudrey a life of her own choosing. So if you made a choice, that was enough.

Leona imagines Rudrey as a hunter. It doesn't look like much, but I'm pretty sure Rudrey's a good shot. After all, Leona knew that looks weren't what mattered to the hunter.

It was unfamiliar to imagine someone becoming a hunter. At the same time, I felt a strange sensation.

After imagining Rudrey as a hunter, Leona realizes that she has become an intact hunter.

Leona is no match for a hunter.

But I've done well so far.

So, Rudy doesn't look like much of a hunter, but he might be able to pull it off.

Leona was well aware that Rudy wasn't just fascinated by the life of a hunter. Of course, Leona didn't fully understand why Rudrey wanted to be a hunter.

It would be a very complicated emotion, something that others would not fully understand. That's why Leona did not underestimate Rudrey.

Rudrey has grown, but Leona has also changed since entering the city of the tower.

Leona wasn't just helping. I knew a lot of things.

Fighting and killing is not the only thing in the world.

We know that there is a conspiracy between man and man, that there is cancer and betrayal, and that fights arise because everyone believes and pursues differently.

I didn't want to fight, but I knew there were circumstances that required fighting.

Rudrey, Lajon, Rorgent, Windille, Saladin.

Looking at the faces and backgrounds of everyone I've ever met here, Leona felt that humans were the most complex animals in the world.

It's not just what it looks like.

I realized that humans are not what they seem.

That's why, in the city of this tower, Leona has learned what is truly a "society."

As a result, we were able to understand more about humans.

Since Rudred was taught and helped by Leona, Leona has also learned a lot from many people in this city.

Just so we're clear, the life of a hunter roaming the wilderness is not acceptable.

Leona smiles, placing her hands on Rudrey's shoulders.

“As an experienced person, ”

And then he smiled.

“It's not going to be easy. ”

Rudrey smiles at Leona's smile.

“It's not easy to be challenging. ”

“That's a good point. ”

Everything in Dragon City is just beginning. And there's no role for Leona there anymore. Rudrey's role will soon be completed.

Each will live his or her own life with his or her own choices.

Leona looks at Rudrey as if she's remembered something.

“We talked about the Devil. ”

“I did.”

Rudy knew about the seven demons. I didn't know what kind of power the demon possessed.

But Leona, obviously, also used her power as a demon, not as a hunter. Ludrey knew that it was definitely an inherent force, and that it was as close to something other than humans.

But until now, even after seeing it with his own eyes, Rudy hasn't asked Leona about it. As if Leona knew what she was talking about, Rudrey smiles.

“It's really important what you're born with. ”

“That's right."

Leona was born a witch.

He also pointed out that, and at the same time, he was referring to himself who was born as Myster's daughter.

“But you told me, right? ”

Leona showed me in action, even if she didn't tell me.

“More importantly... ”

Rudrey holds Leona's hand and empowers her eyes.

“What are you going to live with? ”

and adds.

“You're the best hunter I've ever seen. Leona.”

Rudrey does not speak of the Devil's power. I didn't even talk to Leona. But Rudy knew what Leona wanted.

Different kinds, but they were both sharing some similar feelings.

Leona was born a witch, Rudre was born a daughter of a nobleman.

Both wanted to live a life completely different from what was born. And to some extent, I've made that choice and I'm living it.

Born as something, but wants to live as something else. The latter is much more important.

That's how Rudy was able to empathize with Leona.

Your will precedes your nature, I admit.

Leona smiles at Rudrey with a big look on her face.

“Thank you.”

Leona boards the side seat of Gene, leaving her horse behind.

A hunter only passes through everything. Hunters are not with the wind.

The hunter who stormed Burj Khalifa.

Now we leave Dragoncity in a whirlwind.

Rudy smiled quietly.

I bring out a greeting from a hunter I once heard of.

“May your feet never reach this city. ”

With a smile on her face.

“I hope I don't come back here. ”

Said goodbye by the hunter.

Boooaoaoang!

Two Wagons started running across the street.

Whoo-hoo!

The black dragon flew up and began to follow.

The way a hunter always leaves.

Like I'm never coming back.

The hunter is gone.
