Episode 424:
When I became an active hunter, I got along with many hunters. Thanks to this, Yura has unintentionally seen many Hunters so far.
Among them, there were Hunters with excellent characteristics and some with good combat sense.
But Shin Yoo-seong was different.
‘...how does it move?’
Shin Yuseong, which Yura saw, was like a person who could see the future about a second ahead. When the banshees swung their claws, they dodged it with a gap as thin as a piece of paper and put their fists in accurately.
‘And it’s common sense that mutupa is weak against the undead...’
If you think bluntly, most creatures had weaknesses to maintain their bodies. Even if not all were destroyed like a sophisticated machine, it naturally stopped working if an important part was damaged.
However, due to the nature of the Undead race, most of the physical power was ignored. The undead, such as ghouls and zombies, moved even if they were cut, and Banshee, a spiritual body, did not work at all with simple physical force.
bang-!
However, when Shin Meteor’s fist wrapped in blue mana hit Banshee’s abdomen, a crack broke out. As priests purify the undead, Shin Yuseong’s fist ‘annihilated’ the banshee as soon as it touched.
It was a literal annihilation, not a metaphor.
– Hey hey!
At first, I thought it was just a holy attribute artifact, but Yura soon figured out what the principle was.
‘It looks like a simple mana explosion, but that’s not it.’
Shin Yuseong was bursting with mana of the same wavelength as Banshee. It resonated with the sound and exploded the spirit form Banshee like breaking a glass.
“There are about five people hiding on this floor. The rest hid in the walls and ran upstairs.”
And then, as if nothing was wrong at this point, let’s shake off the remains of the Banshee buried in Shin Yoo-seong’s hands. Yura shuddered with a chill.
‘i get it. ...You can see it in this guy’s eyes?’
Before Yura’s dispatch, Roger, the guild master of the Green Forest, had a story to tell.
[Watch Shin Yoo-seong and report anything unusual to me. Because it’s as important as clearing the dungeon.]
At first, it was strange that Roger, a 7th-level hunter, asked directly about a new recruit who had just joined. Even Yoo, a 6th grader like Shin Yuseong, didn’t get this kind of treatment.
However, seeing Shin Yoo-seong fighting himself, Yura seemed to know the reason.
Shin Yuseong was still a raw stone.
Despite the mighty power it shows now, it was a raw material that had not yet been smelted into jewels.
If you add your own color and style through data here, it could become a history that even the legendary hunter couldn’t follow.
Roger must have recognized that possibility long ago.
‘Because Roger-sama is a five star.’
Yura, who was about to give an order for the capture of the Banshee Queen, gave up her thoughts and saw Shin Yoo-seong.
‘Then what is lacking is sense or experience? Let’s float it.’
Originally, I was going to just watch, but now I want to peek at Shin Yoo-seong’s thoughts first.
“The problem is that the upper floors are the Queen’s territory. Even the guy in Delta Tower is a special entity that even uses telepathy.”
“I did check the report.”
It was also part of the data written on the pocket.
[Details – The Banshee Queen in Delta Tower is identified as a special entity. It turns out that the mutant ability, telepathy, can be used.]
[Details – All 4 hunters used sound blocking earplugs, but the attack failed, so additional reinforcements are being requested.]
Yoora secretly expected that Shin Yooseong had already confirmed this. and asked
“Then have you thought of a strategy?”
To be honest, even if you ask me like this, Yura didn’t expect much from here. A martial artist like Shin Yoo-seong was a great advantage in itself as long as he had high fighting power. Attacking this special case was, after all, the realm of character.
Of course, the reason why Yura was assigned to this attack was because she had the ability to respond to the Banshee Queen.
Shin Yoo-seong took out a mana stone from his pocket casually. Looking at the strangely pink mana stone, it must have been enchanted with magic beforehand.
“Could it be that you put the enchantment skill on the mana stone in advance? How?”
“I asked the succubus queen.”
“no! Succubus Queen!? for a moment! What if that succubus betrays you?”
“Unlike Banshee, it is not likely to pose a threat to us as it is a familiar magician that has already signed a contract with a necromancer.”
Yoo-ra felt a kind of madness in Shin Yoo-seong’s actions, saying that he was Admiral Lee and trying to charm himself. It was to the point where he doubted whether he had already been attacked by a banshee.
“Isn’t that still too dangerous!?”
“...yes? Is there anything dangerous?”
Shin Yoo-seong was rather puzzled by Yura’s reaction.
“Compared to a banshee, enchantment is more than a minor condition and much safer.”
Yura calmly thought about the current situation. If you are enchanted, you can secure safety from other mental conditions.
‘I don’t think it’s real...’
I hate to admit it, but in terms of risk, Shin Yoo-seong’s operation was much safer than the [Reset] and [Rollback] operations prepared by Yura.
In the former case, if Yura, the person involved, was deceived, it could lead to the worst outcome, but in the latter case, there was no possibility of being infected with Banshee’s madness.
‘It’s frustrating, but... if you look closely, it’s true that this guy’s strategy has a high success rate.’
Yura made up her mind.
The method is too strange to be a rule of thumb, but the result itself was very good for Shin Yoo-seong’s strategy.
‘It’s nothing more than a big condition. At best, it’s just fascination, and if you look closely, it’s controlled from here, so the intensity must have been lowered.’
So I had to admit it now. For an active hunter, nothing was more important than the success rate of an operation.
“...good. Let’s do it. It is an undeniable fact that your operation is safer.”
After much weighing, Yura eventually convinced herself and looked at Shin Yoo-seong with a determined face.
“There is nothing to be nervous about. After all, compared to the actual strength of the Enchantment skill, it is at a much diluted level.”
As if waiting for Yura’s answer, Shin Yuseong casually popped the mana stone with one hand.
pop!
The mana stones turned into pink powder and scattered, and the powder soon took the form of Lilith.
As
the figure of Lilith kissed Shin Yoo-seong and Yura, a light of enchantment enveloped the two.
The original enchantment makes it a perfect prisoner who only follows the caster’s words, but the effect of enchantment was slight, as Shin Yoo-seong said.
‘My heart beats fast, but I can tolerate this much.’
However, if there was a problem that Yura had not thought of, it was that the object of fascination was not Lilith, the caster.
“Ah...”
Yes. Why didn’t I think of it from the beginning? If Lilith, the caster of fascination, wasn’t around, it was clear that the effect would be applied to the closest target.
And now, the only one by Yura’s side was Shin Yoo-seong.
Yura met Shin Yuseong’s eyes.
And the moment we met, I realized.
‘This is... dangerous in a different way.’
slap!
Yura, her face flushed, turned her head urgently.
“Oh, let’s go upstairs...”
For an active hunter to have such feelings for a student. This was the biggest crisis of Yura’s hunter life.
