Tempest.

I felt the presence of the monarch buzzing in my head. It's even more annoying that it's not nurturing. I don't know if she's a bitch, but Tempest has been telling Seongcolon his reaction without a break.

[Tempest looks at you worryingly.]

[Tempest is anxious and restless.]

[Tempest chews the lower lip.]

It was originally not even delivered in this way. The voice in Hunter's head can only be heard when the monarch is‘ watching 'Hunter himself. In other words, it is evidence that the monarch is showing direct interest.

That is why most hunters aspire to hear that ‘voice’. Because when a monarch looks at himself, if he does something that appeals to his enthusiasm, he will be rewarded for it.

But the colony was sick of it. Others are eager to hear the monarch's voice, but the colony was listening too much.

“What happened? ”

Baek Hyun looked at Seo Ming with worried eyes, pressing the temples. What he went through in Abyss was roughly a newsletter from Café TV, but he wanted to hear it directly from the parties.

“The floor collapsed. ”

Seo Min-sik frowned and spat.

North of Abyss. Recently discovered residential area 'Horn’ was home to more than a hundred hunters, including Seomnyik.

The floor of that residential area Horn collapsed.

“I don't know why. ”

In fact, it was pointless to think of it as a reason. Abyss is a world that cannot be understood by common sense. A giant hole that appeared five years ago in the first place, and a world where you can only see it. It is pointless to talk about common sense in a world where monsters from fiction can wander around and hunt monsters by contracting human beings to be monarchs.

“I'm out, I'm out. Except for the ones who weren't in the Horn, luckily. ”

“You?”

“I was unlucky. I was lucky to have saved my life, but in the end. ”

I'm not smoking. Seocolony grumbles like that and touches my mouth for nothing.

“The hunter in the Horn would have been about eighty. Including me. Some of the platinum hunters had Hossen. ”

Hossein was the highest level hunter in Japan and the only Platinum rank hunter except for the Apostle. Concerning the Pandemonium, the Uninvestigated Zones of the South are Yen Chao and the Chev of the United Kingdom and Vladimir of Russia are heating up their search for a window.

In the north, Hossein and his guild were achieving results, but they had recently been transformed into one day's vernacular because Seo Ming had been acting like a madman.

“Hey, that's a misunderstanding. ”

Seo Min-sik frowned.

“The people of my country, that's the problem. Japan, unconditionally, huh? You have a bad perception. Of course, I support Korea harder than I normally would have done a day ago at the World Cup, but this is separate from that. Mr. Hossein has never been bad to me. Be nice.”

“Yes?”

“Yeah. Journalists don't give a shit what Hossein thinks of me as a rival... and every time I see that, it's really freezing. He signed a contract with Tempest, and he talked a lot about it with me. He refused to come into his guild. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“What are you going to tell me? A power trick, an apostle... something like that. He's more level and more powerful than I am. ”

The current level of the colony was 272, while that of Hossein was 312.

“That's why he likes me. Because you're lower than yourself, and you don't have enough power to fight. I don't know what you're thinking about fooling around. ”

Seong-colony had a bitter look on his face.

Less than half a day after that, Hossein's life was currently unchecked.

“The floor collapsed, fell down... and no one died there. But they're all front-rollers, not enough to die a fall. ”

The problem was then:

“I've never done anything like this before. Why did the floor of the residential area collapse? It wasn't a bad construction, and it wasn't part of it, but the whole area collapsed. ”

In the aftermath of the crash, the buildings in the residential area were completely destroyed. The dead hunters were not surprised by the sudden situation, but were forced to suffer minor injuries.

“You fell down. So what do we do? We go back upstairs. By the way, it wasn't polite where we fell. ”

The colony is like a ruin. No, he said it looked like an old ruin.

“None of the bastards asked me to go upstairs. You don't think so? Why are you on the frontline in danger of leaving a comfortable place? Leave the good weather east, what do you think's the reason you're here where the blizzard hits you every day? ”

Because it's greedy.

“Everyone went out to explore the ruins. Tempest is anxious in my head, I keep hearing things like this. I was anxious, too. ”

Seo Ming laughed.

“Everyone was confident, but also anxious. Everyone as far away as that moment, together, decided to explore this ruin without acting alone. First of all, there's no information. It might be dangerous. That's why we went forward together. And then...”

I met a monster.

“I've seen you get tired of monsters. Abyss is a world of monsters. We all imagined facing each other, but that was a little... haha. ”

The front-line monsters are powerful. It's not unusual, but the monsters I met at the ruins are too much. The leading hunters began to push without achieving this, and at some point the retreat was blocked by the walls of the flesh mass.

“I don't remember much from there. ”

It was not time to take someone else's life. If he didn't want to die, he had to act only for his own life. The monsters were endless. They come at you muttering, even if they can't hear you.

Seo Ming was lucky.

When the wall that was blocking the retreat was briefly opened by an attack poured into the stables. Someone grabbed the shoulder of the colony.

‘Go that way! ’

It was Hossein. Before Seomin-sik even said anything, Hossein blew his body into the open passage with his spirit. The colony rushed to the ground, but the walls were already blocked.

“A lot of dog-like things happened in Abyss, but this is the first time this has happened. It's the first time that a nest of monsters that powerful has been discovered. ”

Seo Ming sighed as he said so.

“You see? The Bureau is recruiting probes. ”

“I saw it.”

It was unprecedented for the Abyss Administration to publicly recruit such scouts. That means we're vigilant about what happened this time.

“I can't let it go. If this damage is to be done openly, we need to do an apprenticeship. So people don't get scared. ”

“Are you going to participate? ”

Baek Hyun looked at Seo Min-sik and asked. The colony laughed bitterly at that look. The moment he tries to answer.

[Tempest shakes his head.]

[Tempest exclaims, "Don't do it.]

“... if Hossein hadn't let me go, I wouldn't have been able to get out of there either. I don't know if he's dead or alive, but maybe he's alive. ”

Seo Ming ignored the words in his head.

“Of course we should go. ”

*

There was a minor problem.

Horn, the northern front, was a short distance from the Pandemonium. Teleport Scroll was the only place I went once, so I ran from the Pandemonium to the Horn, so the distance wasn't worth it.

[... so.]

Baek Hyun listened to the voice he heard beyond the phone.

[Are you asking me to take you there?]

“That's it. ”

[What the hell... what are you thinking of me? Why would I have to do that for you? No, what can you do to me if I do that?]

“Hey, wait a minute. Slow down a little bit. Don't overload your pronunciation. It's hard to understand.”

It was great to go to the academy for only two months and reach the level of painting, but it was also difficult to talk to real people. After what Baek Hyun said, Rye Lung uttered a profanity beyond the phone.

“Don't curse. I can understand the curse now. ”

[Chuckles]]

“Shut up? Don't say that too much. You can do me a favor. Aren't you gonna be on the expedition anyway? ”

[I'm not going.]

Rai Lung said in an annoying voice.

“You're not going? Why?”

[Don't ask the opposite. Why should I go? I'm neither a philanthropist nor a volunteer. Abyss is where Hunter dies every day, and this time he only dies a little unusually.]

“Aren't you interested in that peculiarity? ”

[What I'm interested in is true, but I don't intend to look into it myself.]

“Don't you think it's related to the source of chaos? ”

Liu Lung giggles over the phone as he asks.

[If that's the case, there's no way I wouldn't have gone, is there?]

I don't know the truth, but first, Yong-seong and Rye Lung's wish is to eliminate the source of chaos. If what happened in Horn had something to do with the source of the chaos, there's no way Lei Lung would have stayed still.

[... well, good.]

Ly Lung murmured as he pondered how to tackle it.

[I don't intend to join the expedition, but it's true that I'm interested in what happened there. If you promise to share what you've been through there without hiding it, I'll take you to the Horn.]

It was not an offer I would not accept.

*

The next day, Baek Hyun entered Abyss a long time ago and stood in front of the northern gate of the Pandemonium.

“You only have women around? ”

I didn't like it.

I heard the story. I have to go to the far north, so I'll get help from someone I know. Until then, of course, it was a compelling story. But why, again, is she a woman? Sarah shoots White Hyun with her starry eyes.

Baek Hyun raises his head and looks at Sarah as he touches the Arachne on his wrist. I had nothing to say. Because it was true that there were so many women around.

“I don't know. ”

With the exception of Seo Min-kyu, all the intimate opponents were women. Of course, there's lynx, but can we call him a friend? In the first place, it's not even human.

“... pretty? ”

“What?”

“That, Lei Lung? A woman. Is she pretty?”

“... is she pretty? You think it's normal?”

Even though my eyes are too sharp. Sarah gazes at Baek Hyun with a great deal of strength in her eyes.

“... like this? ”

“No, that's not how it feels. A little thinner...”

“Are your eyes small? ”

“It's not small. Your eyes are too big. ”

“... aren't your big eyes pretty? ”

“Is eye size important? ”

“Yes, which eye do you like? ”

“I don't have enough eyes to say I like it...”

“So what do you like about a girl?! ”

“A woman stronger than me? ”

Baek Hyun answered thoughtlessly. Sarah's two eyes trembled at the words.

“... why...? ”

“You can always fight if you're taller than me. ”

‘Crazy bastard. ’

You're the asshole I asked. Sarah sighs as she mutters in a small voice.

‘But there's still a possibility. ’

Sarah shook her fist with determination deep in her heart. Her teacher, Yuan Yuan Wang, said that if she learns to be polar, she can surely become invincible. When I asked him about the pagan mythology of the Atheist and his learned disciple Baek Hyun, he always had a tough face, but he told me that he would probably win if he could always learn to be polar.

‘If you learn to be polar, and become invincible. I'm gonna fucking lose you. ’

For 20 years, the memory of being grabbed by a white-haired man grabbed him and touched him like a wave.

‘And... and...’

He squeezed his tears and put his feet on the fallen white man's head.

"Geek, Geek, Wedding..."

“I'm here."

Sarah's delusion stopped.
