Lei Lung was walking from Jermanch. After turning her head, Sarah looked at Lei Lung in a neat suit and shook her shoulders.

"Ordinary."

Of course, beauty standards differ from person to person, but the coming Rai Lung was never normal. Sarah alternates between Leigh Lung's suit, which fits perfectly, and her broad, churning jersey. Even this churning was worn when Baek Hyun was twenty years old.

“Buy me clothes, too. ”

“Why all of a sudden? ”

As Baek Hyun, I thought it was ridiculous. In the meantime, Li Lung, who came all the way to the shore, stopped walking. She opens her eyes thinly, looking at Sarah standing beside Baek Hyun.

[Hoo.]

In Lei Lung's head, Yongseong troops were surprised.

[Somehow. It was amazing that there was another human like that man.]

“Who is she? ”

“Friend.”

“Did you have any friends like that? ”

“Do I look like I don't have any friends? ”

When Baek Hyun is asked again, Lei Lung shrugs.

“My monarch is interested in her. ”

“Why. Wonder? What would you do to me if I told you? ”

“It's not bad.”

“First of all, who the hell are you? ”

I didn't have anything to say because I refuted it that way. Lei Lung glances at Baek Hyun for a moment and turns around. As she waves her hand, the space splits and Hamir reaches out his head. The hand movement was mixed with blatant annoyance.

“Pinched?”

“Don't bullshit me. ”

Rai Lung spits like that and climbs over Hamir's head. I once rode back to Seoul from Mt. Goi, so I climbed on Hamir's back without hesitating.

“Hey, what is this? ”

Sarah gazes at Hamir with a white tired face, hesitating slightly at Baek Hyun's hand, and eventually clings behind his back.

“I thought you weren't interested in Artifact. ”

Hamir slowly flew up to the sky. Sarah swallows a gulp of saliva as she looks away from the ground. She could fly as high as the sky, but riding on her own and riding on her own was a different law.

“I got you a present.”

“You got that kind of artifact? Who the hell is that?”

“To whom?”

In a mockery, Li Lung glances back at Baek Hyun. Baek Hyun smiled with a real smile and handed it over to Rye Lung. He acted thoughtlessly, but Sarah, sitting behind, seemed to be getting along well. Of course I didn't like it. Sarah squeezes her fingers and pinches the flanks of a white man, but only flesh is caught when she pinches the flanks without a single slaughter.

“What are you doing? ”

“I don't do anything. ”

The moment Sarah answered in a fat voice.

Hamir has surpassed space.

Residential area A little away from where the Horn used to be. There was a base camp for the expedition.

The Abyss Administration wanted to investigate what happened in Horn this time, but in fact, the Administration did not have the authority to compel hunters. If you had such authority, you would want to create your own Navy by focusing on top level hunters who are proven to be skilled without having to recruit them publicly.

Publicly Recruited Navigator. He gave me only a day to solve it quickly. Even this base camp was a large tent that blocked the blizzard outside, and required access to monsters, dark magic, and extended magic.

"When is this bastard coming? ’

The colonists sit with their legs twisted and their eyes frowned. I'll take care of it, so I heard you go first. Thinking about it, Baek Hyun couldn't have come all the way to Horn.

‘It'll take a few months for that son of a bitch to get here. ’

I heard you say not to worry, but that's as easy as it sounds.

Seo Ming sighed and looked forward. There were quite a lot of hunters in the tent, not just that. But it wasn't unexpected.

Hunters gathering on one side to check equipment. They were not hunters who volunteered for the expedition. A special unit made up of hunters, affiliated to the Bureau of Management. These are the so-called hounds. Usually, the hunters who commit crimes, when they flee to Abyss, are in charge of pursuing, restraining, or killing. I never thought they'd join the expedition.

‘I'm sure he cares a lot. ’

Naturally, Hunter is dead in Abyss. There's nothing to cry about, but this time, what happened in Horn was unprecedented. It was only a day ago, but the media around the world were creating anxiety as they said what happened in Horn was a disaster.

Anxiety spawns panic.

Abyss showed up and it's only been flowing for five years. Now, it is possible to hunt monsters that protrude from Abyss before they jump, but disasters have often occurred because Abyss didn't catch them properly in the early days. Five years is too short a time to forget his horrible early days. As a management agency, I had to do this quickly to stop the panic of the citizens.

‘But I've come quite a lot. ’

It was not just the Special Forces of the Bureau that applied to the expedition. Hunters who want to use this as an opportunity have also supported me quite a lot. However, none of them were skilled enough for Seo Ming to pay attention. Those who are considerably higher than the colony, but not all, are of a simple level.

Surprisingly, Essence applied to the expedition.

It was rumored that the Bureau of Administration had asked the apostles for help first, but only the Apostles participated in the expedition. Even if she is not a complete apostle, the preliminary apostle is different from the ordinary hunter.

He's the same Korean, but he has a side effect. Seo Ming's colony was a little awkward. That was the same for Essence. Thanks to this, the two of them had only one nice greeting and sat a little further away and kept their mouths shut.

“I'm running out of time. ”

Breaking the silence was a hunter from the Special Forces. He was the head of a team of three who participated in the expedition, who also knew Seo Colony.

He was not famous as a hunter. Henner Weiweir. He was famous for being a UFC heavyweight champion when Seomin-sik was a high school student. But age was the last thing Hener remembered for handing over his belt to a young player.

‘I never thought I'd be a hunting dog for the Bureau. ’

“I don't think there's anyone else to come. ”

One of the hunters gathered on one side and opened his mouth.

“Do you need to wait any longer? It was over before I got here, and it was just a matter of time and equipment. Why don't we go in together without further delay? ”

“I never thought the Preliminary Apostle of the Serpent of Regeneration would come. There will be no failure. ”

The hunters laughed as they spoke. Essence didn't have to be so stubborn.

“Wait a minute...”

It was the moment Seo Min-sik tried to say something. The door of the tent is open.

“What the fuck are you doing with your eyes? ”

Baek Hyun came inside whining, furrowing his eyes. Essence made her happy, and Seo's colony sighed with relief.

“What are you late for? ”

“What are you late for? You're here before time runs out. ”

Sarah, who followed after Baek Hyun, stared at him as her eyes confronted him. I was with Lei Lung until just now, but I never thought I'd see Sung-Sua here. Immediately after confirming the appearance of Essence, Sarah looks through the tent. There were quite a few women among the hunters.

[Does anyone know?]

[There are no colonies other than Sua.]

Sarah sighs with relief on the sound of her return. Seo Ming looked at Sarah and slightly bowed his head.

“Uh... yes. Nice to meet you.”

“Hello."

Although I heard the story from Baek Hyun in advance, I saw it and the judgment was twisted.

‘Son of a bitch. You've been hanging out with that kid for 20 years, right? You live there now? ’

Someone's been working hard on Hunter without time to meet her. Seo Min-hyun stared at Baek Hyun for nothing.

“That...”

“That's right. That Korean. ”

“Who's the girl next to you? ”

The hunters huddle. Henner is embarrassed that he didn't think Baek Hyun would come.

“Are you here to apply to the Navigator? ”

“Do I have to see an interview or something? ”

“No... it's not like that. The girl next to me?” “She's like me. But where did you see so many faces...”

“Hey, don't you remember? When we were gording. You know, someone who was a UFC champion. ”

Seo Min-sik gave me a shout. But I rarely remembered. In those days, Baek Hyun was not interested in fighting at all.

Henner focused on what he said was' similar to me ’, rather than that Baek Hyun didn't recognize him. Henner asked with a slightly stiff expression.

“Similar to you, does that mean she didn't... contract with the monarch? ”

“Yes, but don't worry, it's okay. If you need anything, I can take it. ”

Hener feels a great deal of confusion, but once he nods. The other hunters summoned the pleasures into their hearts. Although I was interested in rice cakes, I participated in the expedition, but I don't know what the monster pack and ruins were that drove the front-line hunters. There was, of course, anxiety.

However, even though he had not made a contract with the Monarch, the power that he showed was comparable to that of the Prefect of Regeneration. That meant that the survival rate of the entire expedition was as high as mine.

“Then I'll give you a little briefing...”

“Who else is coming? ”

I'm trimming my ears with one cough. When you try to start a briefing before you start navigating. Baek Hyun raises his hand and blocks Henner. Hener opened his eyes in a circle.

“Coming again? ”

“Yes.”

Hener raises his head and opens the door of the tent. The winds were clear and gusting. He narrows his eyes and stares beyond the blizzard.

As Baek Hyun said, someone was slowly approaching. But the pace was very slow. In that fierce blizzard, I can't wait to take a walk. Henner gave more power to his eyes. The blurred character seemed more certain.

“... for God's sake. ”

Hener's mouth widened.

A few minutes later, a man entered the tent.

He was, like, a little crazy.

Snowfields with lots of snow to get your feet into. The man who came through the fierce blizzard, invisible to the foreground, wrapped himself in a heavy, golden armor. He had a helmet on his head that covered his entire face, and a shield as big as his back.

But no one in the tent said he was crazy with a man. Henner still looks at the man with an open mouth and an unreliable expression. That was true of Seocolony and Essence. Only Baek Hyun and Sarah were laughing at him without knowing who the man was.

However, I could feel that he was unusual, no matter who he was. Baek Hyun felt like the inside of his chest was tickling. It was the same curiosity I felt when I first saw Lyon, Carpago and Lei Lung. There were not many things in this world that would make Baek Hyun feel right.

Moreover, he felt similar to Carpagona Lei Lung.

‘... what is it? ’

Sarah was feeling different from Baek Hyun.

She is different from Baek Hyun. Like Baek Hyun, I don't feel like fighting once I see a strong opponent. What Sarah felt now was unpleasantness, not curiosity.

Sticky.

That kind of look, that offensive look. The skin seemed to have only odontodol chicken flesh. Before your body breaks down. The look I received so much in my childhood. It is not the same as the gaze that is constantly being received after coming to this world. At least those who looked at Sarah like that were the gaze of a 'human’ who was blind to the naked eye.

At some point, my gaze was cleared.

“Why are you guys standing there? ”

A voice flows from the inside of the helmet.

The man slowly took off his helmet.

“Wasn't it free to apply to the Navigator? ”

The man said so and looked around.

The Apostle of Pure St, Drave Madre.

He smiles kindly as his eyes meet Sarah.
