gurgling.
Sticky liquid continued to flow down Suho's throat..
The taste was disgusting and fishy, but it was still edible..
‘After all, I haven’t tried this kind of poison once or twice..’
While Suho was wiping away every drop of Kasaka's poison..
In the guardian's body, Queresha's 'Blessing of Plague' and Candiaru's blessing 'Healthy Longevity' were being steadily activated..
ring.
[Harmful ingredients detected.]
[‘Buff: Starts treatment with the effect of ‘Detox’.]
[3, 2, 1…… Decryption is complete.]
[‘Side effect: Damaged muscles disappear.]
First, the fatal side effects of ‘Kasaka’s poison’ were completely purified..
ring.
[Effect ‘Kasaka’s Iron Scale’: Physical damage is reduced by 20%.]
Now, only the positive buff effect without the side effects is left intact, increasing Suho's defense..
In addition, Suho's tenacity skill has recently been increasing defense by +100%, so when combined, the defense is up to a whopping +120%..
At this level, Suho has now become a tank that will never be defeated..
But what Suho was most excited about was that Kasaka's poison itself could be used in attacks..
[Debuff: Kasaka's Poison]
It is a poison that damages the muscles of the poisoned target, weakening their strength by -35..
Damaged muscles literally mean that the opponent's strength and speed are weakened overall..
It was like getting a debuff of a much more powerful level than the 'paralysis poison' that had only slowed movement..
‘This will definitely help?’
Suho immediately summoned Quay..
“Quay.”
[yes master.]
“From now on, apply Kasaka's poison to all your attacks and fight..”
[All right.]
Wow.
At that command, 'debuff: Kasaka's poison' seeped into the tip of Quay's spear..
‘It would be effective to shoot Quay with an arrow first like today, give the opponent a debuff with Kasaka's poison, and then start the battle..’
Of course, quite a few of them will be sorted out at Quasun like today..
‘I unexpectedly gained a great ability..’
It was Suho who nodded with a satisfied expression..
* * *
While Suho was confirming the compensation, the post-processing of the Euljiro incident was also being smoothly organized..
As the demonic beasts were annihilated, the swamp area gradually shrunk and disappeared..
From the moment safety was secured, reporters crowded in and began to report the urgent situation to the media..
Of course, it was always up to the association hunters to handle this crazy situation..
“This is reporter Oh Seok-hoon of Hunter Ilbo! What kind of hunter's skill was the black arrow that suddenly flew from the sky?!”
“Those two arrows actually hunt the boss mob and end the whole situation.……!”
“No, wait a minute. Please ask questions one by one…….”
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk was crying, surrounded by numerous reporters' microphones..
‘Now is not the time for me to be like this.’
He was surrounded by reporters as he had to chase after Thomas Andre, who suddenly disappeared..
But that didn't mean I couldn't just ignore what was going on and leave..
In any case, they were the association's hunters closest to Euljiro, and it was the association's job to handle this after-action..
Fortunately, the situation was quickly suppressed and there were not many casualties, so the most urgent task now was to distribute the corpses of the demonic beasts fairly..
“I caught this devil!”
“What nonsense! The wound from my skill is clearly visible here.!”
‘……Actually, now is the most painful moment..’
Team leader Han Jae-hyuk felt dizzy as he saw the hunters arguing over the corpses of the demonic beasts, claiming they were theirs..
But strangely, none of them touched the demon beasts that were killed by the two black arrows that flew in the middle..
‘The first arrow flew like a thunderbolt and killed the boss mob, and the second arrow turned the entire swamp area upside down like a siege cannon. Even if the second step is okay, the problem is the first step..’
As team leader Han Jae-hyuk had seen many archer hunters while working for the association, he understood the meaning of the ‘first arrow’ better than anyone else..
Other hunters obviously know the meaning and do not dare to claim ownership of those killed by arrows..
‘I changed direction in the sky, accurately found the boss mob, and shot it. As if the arrow had eyes.’
I understand if it was a guided missile..
That was a method of confirming the reality in front of your eyes and then pursuing it until the end and hitting the target..
However, it flies in a parabola from the sky far away, and changes direction like a thunderstorm to hunt down the strongest demon beast.?
‘Who was the archer hunter with this skill? It's a skill I've never seen before..’
But all these questions were resolved faster than expected..
Suddenly, Korea's best archer Lim Tae-gyu appeared nearby..
“omg! It's Lim Tae-gyu!”
“Reaper Guild Leader!”
“ah! For some reason, I wondered who shot the arrow.!”
“After all, the only archer with this kind of skill is Lim Tae-gyu.!”
Rumble!
“What, what! for a moment! Why are they like this??!”
Lim Tae-gyu couldn't help but be scared as he saw reporters suddenly flocking towards him..
“As expected, this is Lim Tae-gyu, the guild leader.!”
“The one who shot the arrow a little while ago was Hunter Lim Tae-gyu.?!”
“Mr. Lim Tae-gyu! Please say something! I heard that generous compensation was paid to the bereaved families of this immigration risk.……!”
“for a moment! for a moment! Please ask questions one by one!”
Even the world's S-class hunter could not help but be embarrassed by this situation..
Lim Tae-gyu was in tears and turned his head to find Su-ho..
Then, I happened to make eye contact with Suho, who was standing in a corner far away where no one could see, leisurely watching him get into trouble..
‘Oh, that kid is really!’
Suho just smiled warmly and nodded towards Lim Tae-gyu..
With a disgusting look on his face, he asks me to make up an excuse..
‘what the. Are you saying you don't want to be revealed? What kind of mysticism is this! Kids these days are really!’
Of course, on the one hand, I understood it..
Anyway, even if this incident received media attention, the ransom price would not have increased..
Rather, it only causes a lot of troublesome things..
In the end, Hunter's ransom was raised by himself even if no one knew about it..
Unless the purpose was to get a job at a large guild, it was a simple structure of making money by hunting demon beasts yourself..
Or, you can raise your brand image and start your own guild.…….
‘No, wait.’
Stop.
At that moment, it was Lim Tae-gyu who realized something in Su-ho's expression looking at him..
‘This is for me……?’
Looking at the current situation, the moment you say this is what you did.
It was clear that this was an opportunity to restore the image of the Reaper Guild, which had fallen into the abyss..
Even though the Reaper Guild was criticized, it was an opportunity to let the media know that guild leader Lim Tae-gyu was still strong..
But why??
‘Why are you doing this for me?…….’
It was then.
Lim Tae-gyu, who was just making a puzzled expression, heard a voice in his ears..
[……With this, I paid off my debt..]
“……!”
Lim Tae-gyu trembled as if struck by lightning at that eerily familiar voice..
And I quickly turned my head and looked around, but the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen..
But I was sure.
‘no way?!’
No, how could you not recognize it?!
It was the voice of Lee Min-seong, his ugly friend who turned the Reaper Guild into what it is now.!
“Uh, where are you?!”
Seeing Lim Tae-gyu suddenly shouting loudly, the reporters around him reacted in wonder..
But I guess that was good..
“Where are you! Where is it?!”
[…….]
But he didn't know.
His bad friend Lee Min-seong is no longer in this world..
There is only ‘Quay’ who has been reborn as a shadow soldier..
and then.
Quay, who was quietly looking up at the face of his old friend, mixed in the shadows of countless reporters, opened his mouth again..
However, the content was not an apology saying that he was sorry now..
In the first place, Quay had no intention of asking for forgiveness from him..
So this is just…….
Just doing what needs to be done.
[……The Shinigami Guild has a separate hidden secret ledger. It's a slush fund accumulated by the dead Lee Min-seong..]
“……!”
[Anyway, the money is the property of the guild that bought it, so no one other than the guild leader can take it out. If you only know the account location and password…….]
Lim Tae-gyu's eyes were filled with astonishment when he suddenly discovered the hidden truth..
To him, Quay silently gave Lim Tae-gyu the password for the secret account he had accumulated..
Repeat several times until he can memorize it..
* * *
[……thank you, master.]
“done?”
[yes. Now there are no more regrets.]
Ver growled as he saw Quay bowing his head politely as he returned to Suho..
[You are truly ungrateful. Instead of giving so much money to Lord So, you gave it to his friend..]
[I tried to do that at first, but what can I do when it’s legally impossible? That account is an account that only the guild leader or vice-guild leader of the guild you bought it from can access..]
Quay, making an excuse, looked at Suho with a slightly embarrassed expression..
If we didn't do this anyway, it was blind money that would disappear into thin air without anyone knowing at the same time as Lee Min-seong's death..
Now, although the guild that was purchased with that money is not the same as before, it is now able to put out urgent fires..
therefore…….
[I think I've done enough for this..]
Now I feel like I can really give up the name Lee Min-seong with peace of mind..
“good job.”
Suho also nodded at Quay’s relieved expression..
at that time.
Slurp.
Quay and Ver returned to Suho's shadow..
At that moment, Thomas Andre was trudging towards Suho from afar..
Thomas, like Lim Tae-gyu, seemed to have finally been freed from dealing with annoying reporters..
“So, are you ready now??”
When Thomas Andre suddenly asked Suho, he nodded solemnly..
“yes.”
One corner of Thomas Andre's mouth turned up, probably because he really liked that cool answer..
“Departure is tomorrow morning.”
Thomas Andre left those words and immediately turned around and returned to where Laura was..
A determined light appeared in Suho's eyes as he looked at that huge back..
‘tomorrow.’
It's finally tomorrow.
To find my missing mother.
‘To the Glacier Dungeon.’
It was then.
“Suho.”
Lim Tae-gyu shook off the reporters and approached Su-ho to talk to him..
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“yes?”
“In that glacier dungeon... … Are you the only one going in? Or your colleagues go too?”
“A colleague?”
“okay. Those who want to form a guild with you..”
Suho looked puzzled by the unexpected question and then lost himself in thought for a moment..
Of course Esil would follow, but Lim Do-gyun was a bit unsure whether to say he was going in together..
Lim Do-gyun has been living in his own shadow these days as he is busy receiving training from Ammut..
So, when Su-ho entered the glacier dungeon, Lim Do-gyun, who was in the shadow, also went with him..
“hmm. Let's go in together first..”
“Okay. Is that so? … … Well, it will be okay since Thomas André is going with us too..”
“……?”
Lim Tae-gyu, who was muttering to himself with a distraught expression, scratched his head and nodded..
“Well, have a nice trip. If your colleagues are in danger, protect them well..”
“That's obvious…….”
hmm?
Suho's eyes widened as he felt a strange sense of déjà vu..
Someone's face appeared overlapping with Lim Tae-gyu's embarrassed face..
‘for a moment. no way?’
“Uncle, by any chance…….”
The moment Suho is about to ask something.
Im Tae-gyu cut off his words mid-sentence and opened his mouth first..
“Oh, and I just got some free money that I didn't expect..”
“……?”
“I have a bow that I was thinking of selling to raise some money. I'll lend it to you, so use it in the Glacier Dungeon and return it to me..”
“……It's a bow?”
