Chapter 480

blackout hunting (1)

“Hey, hey! Have a drink and shake it all off!”

A familiar voice offered me a drink from across the table at the pub..

It was the voice of Kang Tae-san, a close friend of ten years who I had been getting tired of for a long time..

“I'm saying this now, but honestly, I was more of a waste of you. That's right! What is so bad about Han Seong-hyeon of the world that he is being dragged around by a woman? We haven't said anything in a while, but I get so frustrated every time I see you doing that.···.”

Without saying a word, I accepted the drink my friend poured for me and immediately poured it down my throat..

Feeling familiar yet unfamiliar.

But, suppressing the pain of my heartbreak with the intoxication of alcohol, I had no time to focus on anything else..

- There was a piece of news that made the whole world buzz not long ago, right? It was breaking news that the leader of a global terrorist group active throughout the Earth was finally arrested in the United States. Additional news was delivered that the '■■■' was sentenced to death. This came down unusually quickly···.

I listened to the news coming from a corner of the store and drank until I was drunk..

Then, he hugged the toilet, cried out for his lost relationship, and behaved in an indecent manner, and had to be dragged out by his friend, who kept apologizing to everyone around him.···.

Well, isn’t that something like that happens in people’s lives??

That was just an ordinary thing that everyone experienced..

‘···When I think about it carefully, I don’t think so..’

I really shouldn't have called.

It was Cheonchu's regret that I didn't delete the number, as if I had some regrets left behind..

Although it was a good problem now that I was finally blocked..

‘If it were his personality, he would think it was right and spread the word around. Maybe even recorded it.’

My job was a freelance video editor..

At first, it started as a hobby when I was in high school, but when I came to my senses, I realized that I had given up everything, including my grades and college entrance exams, and was devoting myself to this work..

Fortunately, I was recognized for my aptitude for this job, and I was able to earn a good income from the time I was in college, so I had no complaints..

···I gave everything, including my liver and gallbladder, to a private broadcaster, a woman I met through work, until I suddenly received notice of a breakup..

‘Ah... I don't want to live. If only the world were destroyed.’

I was stuck in a corner of the house, hanging out like slime, and sighed deeply..

Of course, it was just a regular complaint..

If the world were destroyed every time there was a complaint like this, there wouldn't even be a trace of the Earth left..

[■■■■■—!]

however.

The world has truly been destroyed.

“······.”

Even after I opened my eyes, I still stared at the ceiling for a long time..

“···What kind of dream is this again?.”

Then he muttered softly and slowly got up and looked around..

A now-familiar bedroom in a house located on the outskirts of Seoul..

I frowned and massaged my eyebrows..

“Huh. All these things happen.”

It was a dream that felt strangely similar to something I had a while ago..

It also ends with the world being destroyed by the advent of an unknown being..

However, the situation before reaching the end was clearly significantly different from then..

‘It's video editing... That's something I never really thought about..’

In a dream I had before, I entered college as an ordinary person and enjoyed campus life..

It didn't mean much since it was a dream anyway, but I couldn't help but be quite interested..

Plus, the ugly face he showed after being dumped by a woman···.

“Hmm, hmm! Of course, it's the last part that's really important..”

An unidentified god appears again in his dream..

At this point it was clear.

I'll probably end up intertwined with him sometime and somehow..

“Tsk, just drinking Buncheonhoeju gives me a headache..”

I clicked my tongue lightly, grabbed a cup of morning coffee, and quietly got lost in thought..

The dream that repeated again after the last time somehow felt like it was whipping me to move more actively..

‘Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since Hoon stayed in Sabacheon..’

I wasn't originally planning on staying that long..

At the time, I was only thinking about awakening Ramyu..

Then I unintentionally got stranded there and ended up staying longer than expected.···.

“Well, it wasn't that bad though..”

It was a great achievement for Hoon to gain the useful ability called chakra, and to gain new possibilities through it..

Anyway, aren't all avatars your most precious asset??

But there's just one problem.

It was true that the place was now heading towards chaos in real time, with no way to tell what was ahead..

‘Originally, I didn't plan on getting too actively involved..’

From the looks of it, it seemed like a large-scale war was about to break out..

If that happens, the Yun family, which has been claiming to be the guardian of peace, will also be swept away and become a victim of the wind..

Words are balanced and neutral, but if you think about it, there's nothing to say even if you call me a bat.?

‘I've been indebted to you all this time, and I can't just leave without knowing that I'll be in trouble..’

In the end, it was as if the conclusion had already been made..

“Huh, I can't help it. In the end it happened again.”

In some ways, it may have been a fate that was already predestined from the moment I arrived at Sabacheon following Lamu..

A full-time professional troublemaker... no, there is no way he, the savior of the world, would just sit by and watch such an evil plot.!

‘Okay, let's calm down quickly and sort out the situation quickly. Coincidentally, there is information that Hoon obtained this time, so based on that,···.’

Fortunately, all the problems that had limited his actions until now had been resolved..

The reason why Hoon visited Sabacheon and the reason he was stranded there.

Ramyu, who had been in a long sleep, finally woke up..

***

Accommodation moved from the existing room that was ruined due to the battle with Anton.

“I can't move to another dimension..”

“······.”

Hoon blinked his bloodshot eyes due to the side effect of the magical eye as he looked at Ramyu's hesitant face..

“Well, it seems like something is locked. It doesn't mean it won't work forever, but I think there's a way to turn it off... It's a little ambiguous. I think I'll need some time to find out for sure..”

This was something that came out while exchanging information with Ramu, who had just opened his eyes..

This means that we will have to stay tied to Sabacheon for a while longer..

Of course, it was a great thing to be able to escape from being completely unconscious and defenseless..

Anyway, with this, I don't have to worry about problems like being kidnapped while he's away..

‘I didn't plan on leaving here anytime soon anyway..’

Originally, it took a little more time for Ramu to come to his senses..

However, what effect did stimulating the covenant link have during the fight with Anton? He opened his eyes much earlier than expected..

It was a bonus that Hoon's chakra reached the upper level in the process..

‘Since all the really difficult conditions were already met in the first place, this kind of growth is not strange..’

The most important things in chakra practice are understanding the element and the mental power to implement it..

It was something he already had enough of..

What Hun lacked was only minimal proficiency in the mystery called chakra..

And the series of battles against powerful enemies with all kinds of growth corrections added were enough to make up for his lack of skill..

‘It seems like there needs to be a special understanding beyond that, but.’

This was enough for now..

Even when he was in the lower class, he was a hoon who took down powerful people in the deep layer without any hesitation..

Now that he has reached the upper level, the problem of chakra output that had been holding him back has been resolved.···.

“···The atmosphere has changed a lot. I wasn't asleep for a really long time.?”

Ramyu tilted his head, perhaps sensing the energy radiating from Hoon..

Then, as if he thought it was a good idea, he slowly looked around and spoke again..

“So what do you plan to do next? After listening to what you said, I think it will become a lot more dangerous here in the future. Doesn’t something need to be done??”

“Don't worry about that. Because I have something else on my mind.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Hoon turned his gaze to the window and looked at the Seongcheon Yoonga family members busy cleaning up after themselves..

Although the attack itself did not last very long, the damage they suffered during that time was truly astronomical..

I heard that not only the main house but also people in other areas were attacked at the same time, so they will probably have to lock the front door and focus on cleaning up the inside instead of engaging in external activities for the time being..

‘Plus, we haven't hunted down all the spies yet. It seems that the perpetrators who opened the hole in the barrier are somehow being identified, but it won't be easy to identify the traitor who will be high up..’

Seongcheon Yunga, who was in charge of one major axis in the world called Sabacheon, began to become creaky and silent..

That gap must have been what the evil master who planned this incident wanted most..

I didn't have the whole plan figured out yet, but it didn't matter..

‘I can go find out from now on..’

Hoon, who squeezed his sore eyes shut, got up from his seat..

And as I was about to leave the door with great strides, I stopped..

“Oh, I forgot to ask something important..”

“···yes?”

Then, I looked at Ramu looking out the window blankly and asked a question..

It was about a unique skill that I couldn't ask about because I lost consciousness as soon as I woke up..

Your original abilities may be temporarily limited, but you will be able to use the unique skills given by the system..

Since this was Ramyu's only means of self-defense while here, it was necessary to know for sure what kind of superpower it was..

“Oh, that's it?”

Ramyu also nodded and answered his question calmly..

She also had no intention of hiding it, even from her guardian, Hoon..

“「“Construction Control”. It seems similar to the original ability... but I guess I'll have to use it to find out the details..”

***

“ah! You came out?”

Myat, a local from Myanmar, greeted Hoon as he left the room and entered the lobby of the lodging..

She sat alone in the deserted lobby, quietly burning cigarettes and watching the people bustling outside..

“I heard that the child I was carrying had woken up. More than that, Mr. Hoon, are you okay? Mr. Morris still doesn't want to get out of bed..”

She happened to be at the training center for night training and was able to avoid the commotion at her dorm..

Of course, enemies came from the training ground as well, but those who came that way were not enough to cause trouble for her, a high-level practitioner..

“I'm fine. Is Mr. Mac Morris's condition very serious??”

“Well, actually it's not that bad. He is also a very strong person. It's just a little bit of PTSD, so I'll shake it off after a few days of rest..”

In fact, it wasn't normal for it to end like that..

Just coming into contact with the deep chakra of fear inflicts severe mental damage on a low-level practitioner..

This was all thanks to Hoon’s quick response at the scene..

“Phew—by the way, you're really amazing. I knew you were growing fast, but I never thought it would be this much..”

Myat, who exhaled smoke, looked at Hoon with a laugh as if he was dumbfounded..

How long has it been since you entered chakra that you have already reached the upper level?.

Isn't this just rapid growth??

‘It's a monster. No, am I crazy? What kind of life have you lived so far?···.’

Some people say that chakra is a mystery that is not limited by time as long as the conditions are met..

Would anyone believe that it took less than a month from initiation to upper level??

I was glad I didn't get criticized for no reason..

“Haha! Thank you for the compliment. Rather, Mr. Myat, have you heard about Anton??”

Hoon, who had nothing to say about his rapid growth, changed the topic..

There was no need to explain that this was a new alt character that was raised after he had already reached the peak in other fields..

“Phew —well, of course. I never thought he would do something like that. I had the impression that it was a bit gloomy and twisted.···.”

She smiled bitterly and shook off the ashes from the beginning of the year..

Unlike Hun, who had just arrived here, she had known Anton for several years..

I couldn't help but feel mixed feelings as such a person was imprisoned along with the attackers he had captured this time..

“You seem worried..”

“That's right. Because we weren't strangers at all..”

“But why did you do that??”

sudden question.

Miyat paused as he put the tobacco in his mouth again and slowly turned his head to look at Hoon..

He was looking at her quietly with a faint smile on his lips..

A pair of bright red, bloodshot eyes shining as if blood would flow out at any moment..

“yes? What did I do??”

“Hmm, are you saying something??”

“No, I have no idea what Mr. Jeon Hoon is talking about.···.”

“I understand that feeling. Even Anton himself doesn't know why he did it, so it would be nearly impossible for others to find out. ···But?”

Myat quietly looked into Hun's eyes..

He met her gaze and spoke cheerfully..

“There is nothing impossible in the world.”

A declaration full of confidence.

“······.”

Wow!—

As soon as those words were finished, darkness, swallowing up the small light at the end of the year, enveloped the entire lobby..

Pitch-black darkness without a single speck of light..

‘Is this dark chakra??’

Hoon looked around as if he was interested..

It wasn't just the light that was blocked..

A barrier of this scale can be deployed so quickly and without warning..

From the moment he spoke, he must have sensed it and prepared in secret..

[···This is really difficult. I never thought there was someone who could restore and check erased memories..]

At that time, Myat's voice, which vibrated the entire space, rang out from all directions..

[But it's more than that, you're arrogant. Even though you know that, you come to see me alone..]

“Ahaha— Well, if you have skills, isn’t it confidence rather than arrogance??”

Hoon smiled brightly..

He had already hunted two deep-seated practitioners..

What's more, I managed to catch a high-ranking practitioner without going out of control, so there was no way I could be needlessly nervous now..

Of course, since you don't know what unique skills your opponent will have, you can't completely relax..

[Hehehe, that's right. Also, if the fight gets longer and people come, it will only be a loss for me..]

“Right? So obediently···.”

[Then there is nothing we can do. It's unfortunate, but should I just leave here?.]

Hoon, who was preparing for battle, frowned at those words..

This is inside Yoonga’s territory.

It was even a situation where all barrier disturbances had been restored and security was further strengthened..

However, there is no way that Miyat's skills will be able to escape this type of dragon and tiger blood.···.

[Did Mr. Hoon say it earlier? Same for me too.]

Her voice flowed into Hoon's ears as he raised his chakra to the fullest and was alert to his surroundings..

[There is nothing impossible in this world..]

“for a moment···!”

[Well then bye.]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—

A storm raged in the dark..

A whirlwind sucking from the outside to the center..

Gritting his teeth, he quickly raised his chakra and pierced the darkness, but by then the whole situation had already ended..

“······.”

The lodging lobby has returned to its usual appearance as if it had been engulfed in darkness for some time..

Hoon, standing alone in the middle of it all, looked around with a stern expression..

But no matter how much we looked, there was no trace of Myat left anywhere..

“···Did you go??”

He's the only one left here.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he checked it again..

“Okay then···.”

Hoon clapped his hands lightly and rubbed his palms together with a sinister smile on his face..

“Let’s start the real hunt?”

I hope that the guide will help you climb as high as possible..
