Chapter 208 – – Sisters Hunting –
Wedge!
Something was fired with a roar that tore through the air.
The unique brilliance of blades that glisten in the light.
The magic that shimmers on the sharpened spear blade is like a blazing flame.
It was a stab with the power to pierce even the most advanced tank’s magical composite armor, and it was that fast, but unfortunately, that single shot did not achieve its purpose.
“Cheung!”
A shadow leaping up with a cry similar to that of a wolf.
Quickly kicking off the ground, avoiding the first thrust, and then using a tree in the forest for a three-dimensional maneuver. I evaded all the following traces of spears and fell backwards.
“Chit-“
Park Yi-rae, the owner of the spear, clicked her tongue.
It’s my first hunt with my seniors after a long time… I can’t believe I’m having a hard time.
What the hell can’t she show off her cool side…
She quickly turned around and started focusing more on the enemy, pointing the tip of her spear at the monster.
Pieces of sunlight penetrating the thick leaves of the forest reveal the identity of the shadows.
Overall shape resembling a wolf.
Hair that shines silvery gray.
The sharp and large protruding fangs were intimidating, but the most eye-catching thing was the three golden flames running behind it.
To be more precise, it was not a flame, but a distinctive mane, but… It was a monster called ‘Golden Bag’ instead of its official name among hunters because the movement and color that swayed with magic looked like a flame.
It was named not only because of its appearance, but also because its distinctive silvery and golden glossy leather stimulates the desire to collect, and because it is not easily obtained due to its high monster grade, it is traded at a high price.
Above all, as time passes, the color of the golden mane gradually fades, so demand for maintaining the golden color is steady.
Even if the light has faded, it’s still beautiful… But if you see that golden light that remains intact even once, you can’t help but find a new guy or something?
Anyway.
It depends on the degree of leather damage, but at the highest level, there were jokes that he literally put gold in his bag, so he was a guy that high-ranking hunters would like to meet at least once.
Of course, Irae Park would have been happy to meet such a golden goblin in the early days of hunting, but…
‘Why already?’
Although it was an A-class monster, it was unusual to form a group of 3-5 monsters. It was a guy that could only be found by going deep into the forest or mountain, befitting its rank.
Although Park Yi-rae and her party made it through the first part quickly in their own way, if you look at the position of their party now, it is the area of C-B monsters.
It was not a place where A-class monsters would appear.
Of course, as summer approaches, due to the gates that are activated and the monsters that flow in from those gates, the area between monsters is mixed and confused at this time, but…
“Bout!”
Bak Yi-rae stabbed her spear once again at the nimble charge with her claws and teeth, where her magic waved like the blade of her own spear.
It’s different from when I kicked a tree a while ago and moved in various angles, honestly. But the rush of the one who is approaching even faster.
As Park Irae pierced her spear toward the front, Park Irae simultaneously thought of the next.
Pak-
His body rapidly bounced sideways as if he already knew the trajectory of the spear.
As if it was a lie that they were rushing rapidly just a moment ago, it seems that the change in direction is breaking the laws of physics.
Even after breaking it once, the connection and speed of the action to dig in again after avoiding the stab was ridiculously fast.
Wedge-
Claws and teeth pierced like arrows with a piercing sound that shredded the air.
A monster’s primordial weapon that has the power to tear apart even steel.
However, Park Irae did not panic and continued his attacking movements smoothly.
She had been thinking of the next move from the start, so her movements were unstoppable and her spear spear struck the monster’s side.
“Khehe!”
Along with the heavy feeling of her hand, the Golden Bag was blown away by her strong power, and several trees caught in the middle were broken and fell down before stopping.
“Tsk-“
I’m sure there is a feeling in my hand, but it’s not easy. In that brief moment, Golden Back concentrated her magic and withstood Park’s blow.
She chased after her and tried to stab her with her weight. She shrewdly raised her body and saw the guy guarding her, and Park Yi-rae furrowed her eyebrows a little.
‘Am I familiar with fighting Hunters?’
Unlike a high-ranking monster, it doesn’t seem to underestimate human strength.
A considerable amount of time has passed since the gate opened to this world. Just as humans investigate, record, and find ways to deal with monsters, the monsters also adapt to humans’ hunting.
The longer they stay in this world, the stronger and more dangerous they are.
They were the guys who expressed that they ate the so-called ‘time’ in the hunter industry.
Of course, these guys were well aware of the dangers of humans, so they didn’t come out of their territory for a while… It was also a bit strange.
‘Well… That doesn’t matter now.’
Golden eyes slashed vertically.
If he was a human, he would have had the whites of his eyes, but like a monster, he has eyes that burn bright red.
The moderately tightened leg muscles wriggle so that you can give strength at any time while moving slowly.
At least, it could be said that it was good news that one leg looked a little uncomfortable from the previous blow.
Park I-rae looked at it for a while and finally made up his mind.
It’s already been exchanged several times.
Thinking of the legendary anecdote about the golden bag (the story of receiving a golden bag for the sale of the leather), he tried to prevent damage to the leather as much as possible, but gave up and focused on killing it for now, regardless of whether it was injured or not.
Park Yi-rae saw her man and woman positioned in one corner of her left and right field of vision, as if surrounding her golden bag she was dealing with.
Sunbae and Yeonwoo unnie…
The number of gold bags they met was 4, but she dealt with it first and was watching herself.
‘Che-‘
She believed in her senior and her older sister and tried to be greedy with her a little… If she dragged out more time like this, she would only feel more ashamed for nothing.
Park I-rae looked at the face of the guy who still had a bright golden mane.
It’s the face of a monster, but it seemed to know that it was surrounded.
And also the fact that he is the weakest of the three surrounding himself and that the only way out for him to survive is himself.
‘It’s crazy.’
Of course, it was an undeniable fact that she was weaker than her senior and her guild leader sister.
But isn’t it more painful to be beaten with facts?
Speaking of monsters… No. Did he instinctively realize the opponent’s strength and weakness because he was a monster?
Anyway, I don’t know about the senior, but the guild leader is a class A like herself…
‘Kill.’
A line of flame rose in Park Irae’s chest.
The time is midday.
This is when her ability boost is at its peak.
If you only think about the simple specs, it was Park Yi-rae now that Ha Yeon-woo would be reluctant to face him.
‘If only I hadn’t thought of leather…!’
Unlike Ha Yeon-woo, who has been active as an A-rank for a considerable amount of time, having an S-level senior and an S-level younger brother, Park I-rae is a newbie who has just risen to the A-level. She was a bit greedy because she was still hungry for money and had insurance called Seong Ye-han, but she got angry when the monster ignored her.
Kudeudeuk-
Park Yi-rae’s grip on her spear stick is strong.
Her heart is burning hot, but she doesn’t surrender her body to her emotions.
The moment her head is ruled by emotions, Hunter’s lifeline is infinitely endangered.
“Kreureung-“
He must have noticed that Park Yi-rae’s mood had changed, and her eyes deepened even more.
Park Irae could see that Golden Bag’s spirit was completely directed towards him.
Did she notice that the two men behind her who were besieging her were not going to make a pincer attack?
Or did she instinctively know that the only way to survive was to ignore the threats behind her back and focus?
Whatever she was, it was a good thing for Park.
What kind of embarrassing thing is that to turn the head to a senior or Yeonwoo unnie? The two had already completed their quotas.
“Grrr-“
“…”
A hunter and a monster facing each other for a very short time like that.
Afterwards, both sides rush toward each other as if they had made a promise.
The soil and stones exploded by the explosive leg power of the A-class hunter and monster spread behind each other, and the dust soared, obstructing the view.
Golden Bag, who was trying to pass Park Yi-rae with a flamboyant movement like a moment ago.
It was the exact opposite movement from the one that gave off the atmosphere of making a life-and-death decision, but… I’ve already seen it once.
“Bout!”
In that way, the two shadows overlapped and fell into one in the forest.
Dump-
After a while.
After the dust settles, there is only one person standing. It was Park Yi-rae.
Golden Back, who had already been hit by Park Yi-rae’s spear once, was lying on the ground with long, deep cuts that seemed to cross his entire body, and yellow, sparkling blood pouring out.
“What a waste…”
With that alone, I would have been able to pay off all the national loans I borrowed during my academy days and the bank debt I had to buy equipment before becoming an A-rank hunter.
The new equipment he was wearing right now was obtained by Lee Yun for free, so the debt did not increase. The level of debt she now has to Park I-rae, an A-class hunter, was an amount that she could quickly pay off on her own if she worked hard, but she felt pressured to have her debt, no matter what.
She didn’t want to open her hand to her senior, Nai Yoon, or her older sister (since she herself wasn’t even half-punished without ability), her regret for Park Yi-rae was even greater.
Park Yi-rae looked at the golden bag she had knocked down with her gaze that left her lingering regret, then turned her gaze away.
The more I look at it, the more sad it gets.
“Great job! This is it.”
“What. Too late? Sorry.”
“With something like that. It would have been fine if I had been more relaxed.”
As they walked towards Ha Yeon-woo, who encouraged him, and the senior who was about to massage his shoulder (he was wearing a combat uniform, he probably didn’t really want to massage it), Park I-rae swung his spear and wiped the blood from Golden Bag. .
‘If Yuna had a sister…’
Wouldn’t it be possible to regenerate monster skin?
While talking nonsense because of the slightest lingering lingering feelings.
