Hunter of the Perished World

It was the first time I looked at the face of the whole city since I found an inn so scary to enter the free city chalet. The ugly faces of the people coming and going were a little different from the way they looked.

One was easy to notice because he had a gun. Elizabeth was also noticeable because she had a strange atmosphere, whether it was because of the high shaman or because of the spirits attached to her body.

But now, people seemed to be tired of my pain as if they didn't care.

“I don't think we have enough drinking water. ”

It was clear that everyone was suffering from a hunger.

“Clearly that's what the water looks like. ”

You can make distilled water, but no one knows if distilling a river full of powerful water will make you feel better.

And of course, the two of them are trying to purify the water and use it as drinking water. They just kept walking.

“Do you feel anything special? Looks like it's been a long time since I've been able to pick up anything. ”

According to Leona, Elizabeth sighs.

“I realized something when I came out of Solarium. ”

“What's that? ”

“There aren't many places in the world where there's a lot of stress. There's monsters everywhere. There's slatters everywhere. ”

“That's right."

“There are deaths all over the world, but there's no place like this. ”

So, Elisabeta said that measuring them became meaningless because there was a panic everywhere. Compared to the rest of the world, Solarium was literally a small flower garden and greenhouse.

There is still light and darkness in the world, but no matter how abundant the light and darkness were, there was no place other than the dark path of the night.

Elizabeth felt like she was getting to know the world bit by bit, facing such a world.

“It's like finding a more special and terrible hell between ordinary hells, or something. ”

“Well, what do you think of this place? ”

“It is expressed as breastplate, but all expressions are different within me. The breasts I encountered in Solarium, the breasts I encountered in Burj, the breasts I'm feeling here, they're all expressed in the same words, but they feel different. ”

In the end, there is no such thing as a word that can fully express how you feel. That is why it is expressed in the same words, but Elizabeth feels different. But once Leona asks, Elizabeth explains slowly.

“The destruction here.... Hmm... How should I put this…. ”

Elizabeth ponders for a moment and smiles bitterly. The river itself was not too far away, so they soon crossed the city line and reached the river's edge.

“Literally, it feels like this side of the river. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“The riverside is not the water source, it's not the end. ”

The riverside is just a place where the river passes by. It's not the water source from which the river originated, nor the sea where the river comes to an end.

Those who gather by the river live by the river. That's why it has nothing to do with the river itself, whether it will be affected by the river.

“It means it's not the cause of abundant ash around here, and it's not the result. It's just, it's just affected. ”

What Elizabeth felt in the Bloody River was that enormous, and the Chalet of the Free City was not small, but just under the influence of that enormous flow.

A place that is neither beginning nor end. Elizabeth mutters in fear, looking at the crimson and bloodshed of the river.

“I don't even know what that thing is. ”

We don't even know how big it is, whether it's intentional or unintended. Elizabeth only realized that the sight that lay before her had surpassed her capabilities for a long time.

“It's a little scary to get close when you say that. ”

“Aren't you okay? ”

“I'm fine, but... I can't control it. ”

Aggressive is a phenomenon, not a creature of will. That's why they can't attack or control Leona. In fact, Leona could not exert any empathy or control over anything other than sinister.

I don't even know if it's completely harmless to me, so I just don't attack. Leona doesn't know what happens if she drinks that water.

The riverside was clean.

Clean wasn't water, it was by the river, it was empty without people. Originally, the river would be packed with fishermen, water-drawers, and washermen.

Bondi should be on the River of the Free City, but where's Leona and Elizabeth? It was enough to make me.

“That person.... What is it?”

However, there is only one person, sitting on a rock ledge, holding down a fishing rod.

Fishing is not strange in itself. There are many ways to make a living, and fishing is definitely something to do if you're in a river.

But what was in front of me was the bloody river. It was such a place that I wanted to see what I could catch there in the first place.

I don't know what you're doing with a fishing rod in the Bloody River, but unlike Elizabeth's reluctance, Leona reaches out to him.

“Mister, can you catch me? ”

“Kick it out?”

“Well, yeah. ”

Then he asks casually. The hunter is clearly someone who can talk to anyone, even though he is far from social. The fisherman stares blankly at Leona and the gun on his shoulder.

It's a free city. Bondi dropouts often come by, and there's nothing special about dropouts with weapons.

The fisher indifferently mutters that he's not interested.

“I had to catch it. ”

“Is there a problem? ”

“The problem is I haven't caught the right one. ”

Then, the fishers point to the caught barrel. Leona frowns at the sight of a fishing bin. Just looking at it, I was shaking. All the fish caught in the barrel were rotten to the ground.

Leona steps back, disgusted by the stench of it. She doesn't even look right.

“Eek, you've been here for a few days... ”

After leaving something strange to catch, I was starting to think that fishing until the fish rotted isn't the right person either.

“I came this morning, kid. ”

“What?"

“I came this morning. ”

“Then why did all the fish rot.... ”

“Take a closer look. ”

As he spoke, Leona glanced at the barrel. The fish caught were about four of each size, but all of them were scaly or had rotten eyes.

Leona's eyes are wide open.

“I'm curious, too. Is that dead or alive? ”

The rotten fish, though a little bitter, struggles.

“This is…. What the hell?”

Leona mutters with a frown.

“Hmm."

Again, the fisherman raises his fishing pole to see if something's come up. Leona looks at the fish and falls into a deep freeze.

The rotten fish, which had been chewed up half the time, was twisting its body with a hook.

He grabs the fish with his gloved hand and throws it back into the barrel. Like this has happened a lot.

The fisherman introduced himself as a giraffe. Since I was a kid, I liked fishing, and it seemed like I was doing well for a living. I can sell as much as I want or eat as much as I want in a free city.

There are enough ways to survive without being a hunter, and he's just one of those people. There was no big income, but I did not run over the ship. That alone was enough life.

Until the river turned out like this.

“It's been about two weeks now... ”

“This week? ”

“Yeah, it's been about this long since the river came out of nowhere. ”

Bloody river. Since then, people have not been able to get close to the river to feel the ominousness of pretending. But the river is drinking water. With a huge source of water beside it, people didn't store much water at home.

“At first, beggars drank water. ”

Since they had no place to go, they had no choice but to drink that bloody river. They somehow boiled the water and drank it. People were afraid and curious. It's just a bloody river or something.

Giansa mutters with a mischievous look.

“Dead.”

“Dead?”

“Yes, he drank it and died of fever in less than a day. But the problem was then. ”

Giransa gives you a frightfully stiff look, and slowly says as if she remembers something very frightening.

“I heard he was dead, but he got up and moved. ”

“! ”

“They had no focus, they couldn't speak, and they took care of them. They killed them both. With your nails, with your teeth. ”

The horror never connected with Leona's words. Elizabeth, who was listening next to me, was also frightened.

He's definitely dead, but he's awake and on the move. He explained further. The beggar who came back from the dead kills two other beggars and starts eating them alive. It's like I'm starving.

In the end, the beggars were killed by the guards who heard the commotion. No, it wasn't a gunshot wound. It was a honeycomb.

“I mean, he's not dead. He's been shot dozens of times and won't budge. ”

“What the hell is that...? ”

“I only stopped after I cut off my limbs with a knife and a club. The body was burned... I really, really didn't want to see you again. ”

Leonardo and Elizabeth were getting closer and closer.

It was definitely weird. The Bloody River is horrible and strange just by looking at it. However, if it was as toxic as it looked, it was clear that the things that lived on the river had to be pushed out or floated around.

But I don't see that.

Then, where did all those underwater monsters, including the fish that lived there, go?

The fisherman points to the Bloody River.

“Whatever it is, turn that river into an Undead. ”

As if the evidence was this, he pointed to a catch.

Many creatures, including the fish that lived there, are still there.

It's just different to be alive and dead.

Leona was able to see the identity of the feeling of camouflage that was continuing to feel different from what she had just seen in the Bloody River. When I looked through the river through the psychic waves, I felt nothing. You should feel the monster in the water.

Nothing. It was all because the monsters were dead.

Undead,

It's not as exotic and inevitable as a ghost, but it's the most disgusting and terrifying monster. Izzie is dead, so she has no feelings.

He did not die from the chaotic attack, but he had to cut off his limbs and burn them to the ground before he could finish.

Gene hated the undead for saying they were "dirty people." In Gene's view of a single gunshot battle with bullets, the undead are a very annoying class of enemies.

But then again, Leona feels strange.

An undead monster, for sure. Izzie should be able to feel that control and command are possible and that empathy is impossible. But even when Leona expressed a psychotic wave, she could not feel its presence at all.

Although she has no idea how far the witch's power reaches, it is clearly strange that Leona is unable to feel the undead in the river.

But apart from the worry, the fisherman looks at them and says,

“So don't drink that water, just in case. Unless you want to burn to death with your limbs cut off. ”

Of course, Leona and Elizabeth didn't mention that they were going to take a bath.

“Yes, thank you. ”

“I just don't want to see anything worse. ”

She tilts her head. Second of all, Leona was curious about the terrifying existence of the creature that makes it undead.

“Then why are you fishing here? ”

“There's nothing else you can do, and if you catch the right fish, you can drink the river water. ”

For example, he was serving as a watchman for a river that people didn't look for.

“I've been searching for other sources of water to get water from the guards, but I'm running low on water, so how long will I have to go...? ”

It was a deep sigh of giraffe. Leona thanked him and walked Elisabeta elsewhere. Unfortunately, there was no choice in how to do what a hunter could do, or save a city in a situation like this.

I just needed to know.

“It's not a normal situation. ”

“It's not normal to say it's not normal. ”

Leona says Elizabeth has a serious look on her face.

“I've never heard of an aggravated assailant who turned a living thing into an undead. ”

This only applies to drinking water. There is no saying that the other two beggars who resurrected and killed the dead have become undead. If I had, this whole area would be in the Undead.

The Bloody River would have turned everything in the river into an undead. And everything that drinks that water also becomes undead.

Elizabeth is a shaman. She knows better than anyone how devastating this situation can be.

That's why my complexion was pale.

Of course, Leona was thinking about something else entirely.

“Bathing, is that so hard? ”

Elisabeta looks fierce.
