Chapter 52

ED: Cheerycheri



“I know it’s a little early, but could you apply your auxiliary skill to the Valkyrie members?”

“Of course.”

I nodded obediently and followed Song Cha-hyun. However, Sung Yoo-bin suddenly blocked our path and shouted.

“Then, I’ll be the first...!”Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com

“You’ll be the last, Leader.”

“Why...?!”

Sung Yoo-bin was dragged away by Han Yeo-reum and Cha Min Hee, each holding one of her arms. Seeing her struggling, I was a little confused. Who among the Valkyrie members would I apply my skill to first if not Sung Yoo-bin?

Considering her combat power, I thought Sung Yoo-bin would be the first, but it seemed that this was not the case. Song Cha-hyun who smiled bitterly led me to an unexpected person.

“You exchanged greetings with Hae Song-yeon on the ship, right?”

“Oh, yes..”

“...”

Hae Song-yeon, the tall younger sister of Hae Song-ha, looked at me with an unfriendly look. Then, she slightly bowed her head and spoke.

“Please take care of me.”

“Me as well.”

At first glance, I thought it was a formality to cast a single auxiliary skill, but then I realized that as a combatant, their life also depended on one or two auxiliary skills.

“First of all, you can apply the skill to the combatants with wide-range attack skills. We are planning to get out of Area 1 with a member who’s got an auxiliary skill at the forefront within an hour.”

“Understood.”

Wide-range skills, huh? I wonder what kind of skill it is? In the novel, the spotlight was only focused on the heroine, Sung Yoo-bin, so most of the other members’ abilities were not shown. No, they were almost non-existent in the novel. So I don’t know what kind of area-of-effect skill Hae Song-yeon has.

With a little sparkle in my eyes, I removed my gloves and reached out my hand.

When Hae Song-yeon, who was staring blankly at my hand, realized that it was necessary for me to cast my skill on her, she opened her mouth and let out a small “Ah” exclamation.

“I know it’s a little cumbersome, but I just need you to hold my hand for a moment.”

“Yes.”

Hae Song-yeon nodded her head and held my hand. I quickly cast the Catnip skill. Hae Song-yeon’s hands started to feel a little hotter than before.

“...!”

“It’s done.”

I let go of her hand because I thought it was enough. However, Hae Song-yeon still had a dazed expression and tightly held my hand. I looked at her with a confused expression.

“Hunter Hae Song-yeon?”

“Ah.”

Only then did Hae Song-yeon come to her senses and quickly let go of my hand. She coughed briefly with a slightly red face.

“Ahem, I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s fine.”

I’m more sorry for the weird skill. I swallowed those words and stepped away from her. Hae Song-yeon looked at me seriously as she opened and closed her hands.

“How do you feel?”

“...”

“Do you feel a sudden boost in power or something?”

Han Yeo-reum asked bluntly as she approached. But Hee Sung-yeon said nothing, she just moved her hands a few times, and answered the question with the same bluntness.

“I’m not sure yet.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“You...”

“...?”

Thud! Thud!

Hae Song-yeon started to walk towards me. I felt a strange pressure as she, a large woman, suddenly started to approach me. I flinched and stared at her as she approached, she shouted with a flushed face.

“It was amazing!”

“...Yes?”

“I’ve never felt that way before! I mean, it was like riding a roller coaster...!”

“Song-yeon-ah!”

Hae Song-ha ran over to Hae Song-yeon who was excited like a child, and I took the opportunity to step back.

“Song-yeon-ah, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m okay.”

“Are you hurt? Should we call the healer?”

“No, I’m not really hurt.”

I felt the burdensome gazes of the siblings fall on me, which made me flinch involuntarily.

“Hunter Han Yi-jin-nim! Isn’t that such a great skill? I’ve never heard of such an auxiliary skill!”

“Ha-ha-ha...”

“I was wondering what kind of skill made the Odin Guild so boastful... Oh, I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s fine...”

Well, Hae Song-yeon must have had a bad impression of me at first. Her gaze was already very cold to begin with.

Anyway, that wasn’t important. I opened my mouth to speak to Hae Song-yeon.

“Do you feel a bit tired or something? Suddenly losing the boost in power.”

“I definitely felt like my strength was drained after the skill duration ended, but I feel very refreshed and good. I feel like I just landed after skydiving!”

"

“Ohh...”

She went skydiving too? She really lived an active life. In any case, there didn’t seem to be many side effects for Hae Song-yeon. It seemed that Kang Yoo-hyun had more severe side effects. Maybe the higher the grade, the greater the recoil? I tilted my head and waited for the raid party to prepare. Who should I cast my skill on next? I had just sat down on the beach and had begun to wait for someone to call for me, when someone came running to me while waving a lot.

“Me next! Me, me, me!”

“Uh... hunter Han Yeo-reum?”

It was Han Yeo-reum, the Valkyrie’s deputy commander. She reached out to me with a big smile on her face.

“I look forward to working with you! Hunter Han Yi-jin!”

“Ah, yes.”

I immediately took off my gloves and held her hand. Her face was full of excitement and joy as she smiled brightly. As soon as I felt her hand getting a little hot like Hae Song-yeon’s did before, I immediately withdrew my hand.

“Hmm...?”

“...?”

Han Yeo-reum, who tilted her head, smiled strangely. As I looked at her in confusion, she turned her body around and shouted loudly.

“Alright! I’ll go farther than Hae Song-yeon!”

“...”

What kind of competition is this...

She soon raised a stick taller than her body and wielded it.
