Chapter 74 – – Beast Hunting –
Raid.
It is the final content that appears regularly in online games and is a task that evokes a sense of challenge to players.
In general, the goal is to defeat a powerful boss by combining strength and wisdom with several people, and in return, a special reward is obtained.
Bosses here refer to special monsters among monsters.
Existences given to players as trials.
They are prepared for the player’s despair and sense of accomplishment.
Raid.
In the world after the Gate Crisis, raid refers to when the power of the state is mobilized to hunt special monsters.
If necessary, even armored forces or aviation power that are not operated due to already scarce materials are mobilized.
It can literally be called a fight for the existence of a nation… But of course, even if it’s the same raid, the class is divided.
In this ‘tiger raid’, even though the raid was issued, it is because the raid target is not a normal monster.
The industry’s assessment was that the direct risk was not large in terms of raid standards.
Raids are generally triggered against powerful and terrifying boss-level monsters, and that’s natural.
However, the strength of monsters is not directly related to the danger to mankind.
It has been a long time since research has already revealed that there are quite a few monsters that have great power, but unexpectedly live quietly in the corners of mountains or in the deep sea.
Of course, from the point of view of mankind who ruled the earth, someday they will have to be built, but at least in the current situation of mankind, it is impossible.
It was a very natural result to decide what to subdue first by assessing the risk and setting priorities.
So, to be precise, this raid is not determined by the monster’s ‘strength’, but by its ‘danger’.
To take a simple example, there is a monster called ‘corpse licking’.
It is a monster that is the starting point of the plague that swept the continent’s Gangnam area, but it itself was just a peculiar monster literally licking corpses.
They neither hunt nor harm humans. A strange monster that licks corpses but doesn’t turn humans into corpses.
However, he was the one who gave birth to a disaster worthy of being recorded in human history.
Thanks to that incident, countries all over the world reacted by sparking a match even if the ‘ㅅ’ of ‘corpse licking’ came out.
In Korea, there have been two ‘corpse licking’ raids in the past.
However, ‘corpse licking’ was a special case, and in the end, most raids are issued to powerful monsters that threaten humanity.
This ‘Tiger Raid’ was uncomfortable in many ways.
Usually, a bounty is attached before becoming a ‘raid’. Being subjugated by hunters seeking bounty was a common order, but he skipped that step abruptly.
No matter how many hunting teams I ate.
Although one of the hunting teams had a team that included A-rank hunters.
It was also true that I was tilting my head when I asked if that was something that had to go all the way to ‘Raid’.
It’s okay to say this, but if you’re at the level of catching an awakened tiger, putting a nomination request in a large guild and processing it was a much more appropriate choice socially and cost-wise.
But no one paid any attention to such a small question.
Most of them are just raids issued after a long time.
Among them, he was more interested in participating in safe raids with obviously lower grades, fulfilling the number of times of national duty, and one line of raid participation experience.
And there was an incident that put a wedge in their loose atmosphere.
[Extra! Seong Ye-han, an S-class hunter. Breaking seclusion and participating in ‘Raid’]
[‘Holy Woman’ Ha Yeon-ah. Declaration of participating in this ‘Raid’!]
It is the pinnacle and final weapon of the Hunters. It was an S-class Hunter’s declaration of participation in the raid.
Not just one, but two.
This ‘raid’ has already been successful.
Such laxity flowed among the hunters who participated in the ‘Raid’.
***
In general, monsters are not afraid of humans.
The only thing they fear is powerful magic.
They have no reason to fight against humans, but if they invade or attack their territory, they fight back without hesitation.
When hungry and finding prey is not easy. A troublesome existence to hunt, worth choosing at least once.
That was the position that humans had in relation to monsters.
Therefore, in hunting monsters, ‘tracking’ was not a very necessary ability.
In game terms, almost all monsters are first attack mobs.
If you walk around moderately, monsters will come to you on their own, and the hunters will have to deal with the monsters they encounter.
Unless they were deliberately expelled by showing off the difference in strength, the hunting activity of the hunters was, to put it mildly, closer to being hunted rather than hunting, unlike the name of hunting.
However, the power of the prey being hunted is only greater.
Therefore, finding the traces of a target and following its footsteps is an unfamiliar skill for hunters.
That’s why… The animals that originally lived on this earth.
Awakened beings who knew the fear of humans and understood human strength became very tricky enemies from the human standpoint.
Even though they had power, they knew that they could always be in the position of the weak against humans.
Even though he has strong power, he always has retreat in mind.
For that alone, the Awakened Beasts were several times more tenacious and dangerous than monsters of the same class.
That’s what was officially revealed.
This was the reason why a large amount of manpower was put into this ‘tiger raid’.
***
“Ghost” Park Eun-hyeon.
He calmed his excitement as he listened to the voices coming from the brightly lit TV.
The news anchor’s precise and well-ordered pronunciation and vocalization of information conveyed the information always seemed to pierce into his ears and pierce his head at once.
[S-class hunter Sung Ye-han and Ha Yeon-ah decided to participate in this raid…]
No matter how many times you hear it, it’s enchanting.
He really liked the news.
Those guys don’t even care who the words they spit out and how the information they reveal goes to whom and how they are used.
If there’s just something to chew on, they’ll just chew on it.
“Thanks to that, guys like me are comfortable.”
Of course, the information that comes out on such a broadcast is only about scratching the surface of the watermelon, but it was enough to have just that much.
“Good.”
He licked his lips as he watched the video on the screen.
A pair of men and women’s faces are being revealed without a single mosaic.
Men don’t even have to worry about it.
All he wants is one woman.
It’s a female that always makes you hungry from the depths below.
Golden light that embraces the sun.
A body that undoubtedly claims to be a superb female.
Even a face so cold that you want to ruin it.
“Good…”
1 year ago. When I first saw that face, my erection didn’t subside, so I don’t know if I broke a few tools.
He instinctively realized that he had found the best female for him.
The female is the light and he is the darkness.
Each other devours and rejects each other, but in the end, a relationship that cannot prove itself without the other…
Isn’t that the best match?
In the meantime, I didn’t have a chance because I always had a troublesome bitch next to me.
The year my sister does something.
The ability of only an A-class hunter. Although he could break it as much as he wished.
As for her abilities, she was special like my younger sister, so it was difficult for her to handle them neatly on her own.
I don’t know if his purpose is to kill Ha Yeon-ah. Because he never intended to kill her.
But at last he learned the news that the dog-like gum had fallen beside his female.
One who endures…
Did they say that blessings come to those who wait?
Heaven must still love him.
Of course, there must be another obstacle next to the female.
New S-class.
But what does that mean?
Unless it’s Jeong Beop-ho. At most, old-fashioned body enhancement-type abilities, whether it be S-class or not, do not pose any obstacles.
Even an idiot who went from E-class to S-class all at once.
Isn’t it an idiot who doesn’t even have a proper monster hunting experience.
How well can a guy who has never caught a monster really fight against people?
At best, if you think that a guy who used to be monster dregs or messing around gets stronger all of a sudden and think that they are all the same S class, that is rather arrogance and his skill is at a disastrous level.
Caring about it was a waste of money.
“Huh.”
He trembled with the satisfaction that had been bursting from the depths of his heart for the first time in a long time.
Drop that sun
If you dye it dark with his color.
How would you feel?
It’s the black sun…
That soggy light must have been an intense beauty he had never seen before.
***
The way this raid proceeded was nothing special.
Just with a lot of manpower and the input of fucking strong hunters, for sure.
To perfectly succeed in hunting. That’s it.
The basics are the follow-up of sheep hunting that was done in the past.
Awakened bodies from Earth, not monsters from another world.
If there is something more dangerous and difficult because it is from Earth.
Because it is from Earth, there is a way to get through it.
Although it is much more dangerous and difficult to subdue in a hunting team or guild unit.
When it comes to the ‘raid’ stage, the elements that made hunting difficult work rather positively.
A siege net created by a huge manpower.
Even though the beasts of the awakening body have the power to tear the encirclement, they instinctively evade rather than collide and break it in front of a giant human hale.
This means that it is possible to hunt game that has been proven in the past.
And in the end, the prey that is driven out according to human intention is thoroughly hunted by humans who are ready in the worst place for them.
Of course, that didn’t mean there was no harm to humans.
It was different this time.
What awaits the beast at the end of the siege is not a hunting team made up of A-class hunters.
What awaits at the end of the sheep hunt is mankind’s strongest spear and shield.
A monster in human clothing.
Because they were S-class hunters.
