Chapter 55

20. Sunset (2)

Even within Twilight, there are only eight people who know about this secret operation.

Guild leader Park Tae-hoon.

Deputy Guild Leader Jang Seong-hyeok.

Four high-ranking hunters with the position of a director.

Park Tae-hoon’s secretary Kim Cheol-ho and Jang Seong-hyeok’s secretary Jeong Won-ki.

The high-ranking hunters were people who had to fight in real life, so they had to know about it, and Kim Cheol-ho and Jeong Won-gi had to know because they were in charge of the actual work.

High-ranking “noble” hunters are not able to do small tasks themselves, and in reality, it is difficult to do things without secretly acting like a shadow of the secretaries.

So, in the driver’s and front passenger’s seats of the van that Twilight’s executives were riding, Jeong Won-ki and Kim Cheol-ho were riding, respectively.

The 6 high-ranking hunters on the Twilight side will enter the dungeon of Taebaek. The directors of Dawn, who changed the boat, Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min decided to stay outside.

“The two of you will keep this place.”

“all right.”

It was agreed upon in advance, so the two accepted without complaint.

No matter how much you betrayed, it’s a little burdensome to face the sword directly with your former superiors. It could have been a hindrance to the twilight side, since I didn’t usually match it.

And what if Jeon Jun-ho or Lee Ji-hye escapes through the siege?

Manpower must also be placed at the entrance of the dungeon to prepare for emergencies.

Oh-jeong Kwon and Seong-min Yoon took on the role.

The moment they were relieved that they had escaped the dungeon, their attack, which they thought were allies, would become a dagger.

Anyway, the eight high-ranking hunters each played their part.

So what about Kim Chul-ho and Jeong Won-gi?

After the chauffeur role, he was in charge of the after-sales service.

After the hunters, including Tae-Hoon Park, entered the dungeon, the two took charge of cleaning up the site.

“Laugh.”

The way to deal with the Dawning Hunters who were dead or on the verge of dying was simple. I just picked up the body and threw it into the dungeon to solve it.

The environment of Taebaek Dungeon is a desert of heat where the sand wind blows. Even without digging, the non-stop moving sand dunes take care of burying the corpses under the sand.

Just doing this was enough. There were very few nerds who would randomly enter the high-risk dungeon, and there would be no active search after the dawn was absorbed into the twilight anyway.

It was when I finished disposing of the corpse and was working on removing the bloodstains by turning the ground little by little.

Hearing the ringing of his cell phone, Kim Cheol-ho rummaged through his pocket.

“Well?”

What appeared on the screen was Gaolin’s phone number.

After asking for permission from Won-gi for a while, he moved to a slightly cornered place.

“Hello. Isn’t that Mr. Gaolin? Are you done with your work?”

-Answer the questions asked.

The moment I answered the phone, an absolute command that I couldn’t resist popped into my mind. My brain went blank.

-Is it true that Park Tae-hoon went to Dawn today?

“Yes that’s right.”

The answer comes automatically without knowing why you need to answer it. I want to be something, but I don’t know what it is.

Kim Cheol-ho blew softly with reason slightly blown away. Even if the other party was Gaolin with whom he had a secret contract, it was not necessary to tell them.

-I get it. to wait there.

“Yes!”

The call ended there.

Kim Cheol-ho, who had been dazed, returned to his place tumbled.

“What was the call?”

The gardener asked indifferently.

“uh? uh. uh······.”

Kim Cheol-ho muttered meaningless words.

“What, why?”

“Oh, no. I was thinking about something else for a while. What did you say?”

“What’s the call, ma’am? What an embarrassing call.”

“It’s not like that… … . It was a call from Gaolin.”

“Did you call that Cha Shin Hyeon was handled safely?”

At Won-gi’s words, Kim Cheol-ho gave his advice.

“Yeah? Why didn’t you bring that up after you called?”

“… … Otherwise, why did you call?”

“That, well.”

“You look a little ill.”

“I think so too. Why are you doing this?”There was no way to come up with an answer.

Although Kim Chul-ho and Jeong Won-ki were puzzled, he continued to organize the site without taking any further issues.

Thanks to Kwon Oh-jeong who handled most of the hunters with arrows neatly (?), there was no big deal if I only erased the bloodstains.

After digging the ground, he buryes any traces of miscellaneous material, then gently sprinkles the soil to hide it as he did before. The process was completed in about 15 minutes of work.

But when it was all over, I couldn’t rest.

The two high-ranking hunters – who were not originally in the same affiliation – are constantly vigilant at the entrance and not slowing down, but they cannot afford to play comfortably with their low skill level.

“We will be vigilant around it.”

“Thank you.”

Kwon Oh-jeong shook her head.

“Well, of course, who doesn’t want to come all the way to the foot of a mountain like this.”

That was then.

“I will come.”

There was a voice that was not loud and quivering, but so clearly that it stuck in my ears.

“Huh?!”

“Who are you?”

Like a high-ranking hunter, Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min’s reactions were quick.

With all their nerves on their feet, they are ready for battle. Although it was later than them, Kim Chul-ho and Jeong Won-ki set a day of sensation.

But there was no one around.

“···········?”

Where did the alternate voice come from?

Above their puzzled heads, Cha Shin Hyeon appeared like a fantasy.

“Huh!”

The four men with great respect took a few quick steps back.

As they retreated, Cha Shin Hyeon stepped down lightly in the space.

“Maybe Cha Shin Hyeon!”

“Te, teleport?! Nonsense!”

“How are you here?”

Each shows a different reaction.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who smiled bitterly, looked at Kim Chul-ho first.

“Didn’t you just call?”

“what… … Called?”

“With that Chinese cell phone you called Gaolin. I heard the address here.”

“My, did I say that?”

When the eyes of the three other people were momentarily fixed, Kim Cheol-ho was bewildered.

Cha Shin Hyeon tilted his head slightly.

“After all, if your words and spirits are too strong, will your memories be confused? When I get stronger, I might turn him into an idiot.”

“What are you talking about!”

“It’s not that you didn’t go out of your way to vomit.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who answered with no sincerity, looked at Won-gi.

“who are you?”

“I am Jang Seong-hyeok’s secretary.”

“Who is Jang Seong-hyuk?”

“You are the deputy guild leader of Twilight.”

“It sounds like you’re a no-nonsense guy.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who immediately drew attention, turned his head.

They are the most important, not Kim Cheol-ho, who is a relatively small person, or Jeong Won-gi, who is more small.

It was towards Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min.

“I think it was the first time I saw it during the Sun Festival. But, didn’t we meet in a place we shouldn’t have met?”

They were on the same team at the time of the Great War, so they needed to be respected.

However, encountering them in their current circumstances means that they are not worthy of respect.

“How are you here… … I heard that you were definitely in Jeju Island until morning!”

Yoon Seong-min clenched his molars.

Cha Shin Hyeon graciously admitted.

“right. I was in Jeju Island until 15 minutes ago.”

“What nonsense!”

“Didn’t you say it with your mouth? Teleport.”

“what······?”

Kwon Oh-jeong gave a blank expression.

“From Jeju Island to here… … Teleport?”

“I don’t force you to believe.”

It was not as they had mistakenly jumped hundreds of kilometers in one room, but it was true that they arrived in 15 minutes, regardless of whether they came in hundreds of times. On the contrary, it was even better.

“The important thing now is not that I am here, but that you are here.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said coldly.

“Why are you guys in this dungeon where Twilight entered Dawn to strike the back of the head? Trying to hit the head of the head? For something like that… … You seem too friendly with the secretaries of the Twilight Headquarters?”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s eyes became sharp.

“Betrayed, or was a spy from the start. Am I right?”

Words were carried in the voice.

“… … Yes.”

Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min’s mouth betrayed their master’s will at once and revealed the truth.

Cha Shin Hyeon clicked his tongue.

“Is it because she lacks human eyes, or is it that you guys are just as depraved?”



It was a bit of sympathy for Lee Ji-hye, who worked hard to raise Dawning.

In fact, compared to Moorim, in modern society, the concept of trust has become much weaker, so the possibility of betrayal for money or other reasons has increased.

“Hey, what is this guy!”

The two looked perplexed.

I was astonished to find out that I had just suddenly confessed, and I was also surprised that not only myself but also the people next to me went through the same situation.

Even the activities in the Sun Festival or Jeju Island are thrilling enough, but if you know how to deal with super long-distance teleporting ability and even mental magic… … .

This was a complete monster. It looks like the two of them are going to lose.

‘The opportunity is now.’

Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min thought so at the same time.

No matter how monsters are, their MP is finite. You can’t run hundreds of kilometers from east to west without paying anything. Even if it looked casual, there must have been a huge amount of consumption.

A wizard without magic is not as good as bungeoppang without red beans. If they didn’t have enough magical power, it wasn’t that they didn’t have a chance. Perhaps the reason we talked so calmly was to buy some time to recover.

Like the seasoned ones, the two exchanged glances once to read each other’s intentions.

Both of them or not, Cha Shin Hyeon turned to Kim Chul-ho and Jeong Won-gi this time.

“Both, what class is it?”

“I am a priest.”

“I am a knight.”

Kim Chul-ho and Jeong Won-gi answered respectively.

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded her head humbly.

“Then it will be enough for one person to take you.”

The moment Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min decided to make a surprise collaboration, Cha Shin Hyeon also decided who to leave.

Tat!

Fighter Yoon Seong-min kicked the floor. He rushed to Cha Shin Hyeon at a speed that left behind an afterimage.

Nettle juice!

An arrow fired by Kwon Oh-jeong one step earlier cut through the space. One arrow split into several pieces and targeted Cha Shin Hyeon’s whole body.

A wizard with weak physical abilities can never avoid this. With the help of intuition stats, the attack itself can be grasped no matter how hard it is, the countermeasure is to the extent of raising the magic power to defend.

However, will he be able to mobilize enough magical power to stop the surprise attack at this time?

No matter how talented a wizard, a short distance of less than 10 meters is an uninhabited realm.

Yes.

It is an uninhabited realm.

This space belonged to Cha Shin Hyeon, and was not owned by Kwon Oh-jeong or Yoon Seong-min.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The surrounding atmosphere, which had been momentarily compressed, was released at once. The typhoon spread in all directions and swept the surroundings.

The waves of power generated by the explosion of aerodynamics engulfed everything. The arrows that were flying, the bodies of Yoon Seong-min who were running, and the bodies of Oh-jeong Kwon and Won-gi Jeong further behind.

Except for Kim Chul-ho, who was intentionally left behind, everything around him got involved.

“Aww!”

Even screams are drowned out by the strong wind.

After the storm, only ruins remained.

Fortunately, Won-gi died comfortably, and Oh-jeong Kwon and Seong-min Yoon were wriggling intermittently on the floor with their whole bodies twisted.

“An ally betrayed by a class worse than the enemy.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who spoke coldly, reached out.

The surrounding energy responded to it and moved at will.

“Eww… … Eww······.”

Kim Cheol-ho’s body, trembling in extreme fear, was caught by the attack and flew away.”Sir, please save me…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you now.”

Cha Shin Hyeon exhaled and dragged him to the dungeon entrance.

“Because I might need you.”

After a while, the two entered the dungeon.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who took the first step into the Taebaek dungeon, frowned.

It wasn’t because of the environment of the dungeon like the warm sunlight, the stuffy air, the soft wind, and the vast sand, but because of the corpses they saw as soon as they entered.

“what?”

“These are the Hunters of Dawn who were guarding the outside of the dungeon. I killed it and threw it here for easy disposal.”

It was close to consulting, but the answer came out of nowhere.

Cha Shin Hyeon sighed and waved his hand lightly.

“They are still alive.”

“Oh, yes. It might be. I didn’t do any confirmation kills…”

After all, the desert wasn’t a good environment for the wounded, and if it wasn’t for the environment, they would soon die, so they just threw away the living ones for a while.

However, as a hunter with tenacious vitality, there was still someone alive.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who captured the weak energy of life, took care not to shock and lifted the two survivors into the air.

“… … I was wondering why you didn’t answer the phone.”

Surprisingly, there were no major wounds, but it was Dong-hwan Oh, with a pale complexion, and a woman with an arrow pierced deep in her left chest.

I wondered how she was alive, and I could feel her heart beating on her right side. She doesn’t bleed a lot thanks to the arrows in her, so it seems like she didn’t die.

“I’ll compliment you for not confirming and killing me.”

Mumbling Cha Shin Hyeon pulled the two towards him.

First, an arrow was extracted from the woman’s chest, and then the blood flow was measured to stop the bleeding. Then, aerodynamic energy was injected into the bodies of the two people.

An infinitely pure energy circulated inside the two of them, energizing them and driving the dead energy out. It was strong enough to wake them up by forcibly beating the life force of the two who had been drooping.

‘If I don’t wake up like this, I can’t help it…’

His work power can make up for the lack of vitality, but it cannot heal the wound itself. Although it was possible to maximize the natural healing power, bleeding or wounds that had already occurred could not be helped.

Taking that into consideration, he brought in Priest Kim Cheol-ho without killing him.

Because the Priest’s ‘Regeneration’ skill was able to attach severed limbs.

“Heal the woman first. That one is more serious.”

“Yes!”

At Cha Shin Hyeon’s words, Kim Chul-ho hastily used his skill. Holy power enveloped the woman’s body.

“Cool!”

Meanwhile, Oh Dong-hwan, who was relatively healthy (?), first opened his eyes.

Looking around with blurry eyes, he recognized Cha Shin Hyeon.

“Cha, Mr. Cha Shin Hyeon?”

“Yes, I fold.”

“Hey, how about here? No, it’s worse than that! The Directors of Dawn attacked us…”

“You may not speak. Because I know everything.”

Cha Shin Hyeon calmed Oh Dong-hwan, who takes out urgent matters even in the midst of confusion.

“I know Donghwan Oh’s class as a paladin.”

“Oh, yes. Yes.”

“Then can you use your healing skills? Even if I’m not as good as a Priest.”

“Yes, but.”

“If you do, please heal this woman. Because I can’t believe this guy. Stop your skills.”

“Yes!”

When Cha Shin Hyeon ordered, Kim Chul-ho backed away.

As soon as he stepped back, Cha Shin Hyeon pointed out Kim Chul-ho’s blood transfusions and horse blood. Dong-hwan Oh recognized him as he collapsed on the sand and was startled.

“Ki, Kim Cheol-ho……?”

“I interrogated him and found two treacherous directors attached to the twilight. Now, Park Tae-hoon has brought all the high-ranking hunters under his command to this dungeon. I want to kill Jun-ho Jeon and Ji-hye Lee.”

“What, what?!”

Oh Dong-hwan was ten times more surprised than before.

“Then it’s time to have a leisurely time like this……”

“Where do you go with that body, even if you go with a perfect body? Heal the woman in front of you first, and then go to the dungeon and ask for help. I’ll take care of it for you.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said calmly.

The reason he was able to invest some time in saving Dong-Hwan Oh and the woman.

It was because the existence of Lee Ji-hye was still being captured by the sense of transcendence that was opened immediately after entering the dungeon.

“then.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who gave a light bow, raised his magic.

Soon, his new model disappeared beyond the space.
