Chapter 243 – #244 Let’s Help Each Other and Live
#244 Help each other and live
Standing in front of Zepes’ corpse, I activated my skill.
“The outcome of the hunt.”
Aaaaa
When I used the result of hunting, a level 10 skill of [Monster Hunter], White light emitted from Zepes’ corpse and was absorbed into my body.
Then the system phrase appeared in front of me.
[[Monster: Mr. Oul. Zepes] Was killed.]
[Physical abilities slightly increase when fighting monsters.]
[Psychic abilities are slightly enhanced when fighting monsters.]
[[Monster: C.Gul.Zepes] And the same object as the battle, the physical ability is greatly increased.]
[[Monster: C.Gul.Zepes] And the same entity, superpowers are greatly enhanced when fighting.]
[[Skill: Bloody Smell (Active)] Is activated.]
[You can use [Skill: Bloody Smell (Active)] From now on.]
Absorbing the power of Zepes, the power became stronger.
Of course, there was a downside to being stronger by limiting monsters, but it was clear that more monsters could be killed based on this.
The result of hunting is an infinite strengthening skill with no stack limit.
In addition, by killing Zepes, the skill [Active] That had been sealed until now was released.
When you use the bloody smell skill, it is a bizarre skill that literally smells like blood from your body. Only monsters can smell this smell, and the monsters who smelled it will lose their temper and their stats will be lowered.
To put it simply, it is a debuff skill that lowers the monster’s ability.
‘Should I try it?’
[Hehe… Gulp! Uuu… I want to eat…]
I looked at the Siren who was gulping down saliva while looking at Zepes’ corpse. Siren was a good test subject to test the effects of monsters and bloody skills.
“… No.”
But I haven’t tested it. Even if you raise your voice just a little bit, your tears flow right away, but if you use the bloody skill, you might cry out loud.
I have no desire to be hit by water bombs falling from the sky.
“Hey siren.”
[Huh… Yes? Did you call me?]
“Yes. Do you want to eat that?”
[Yes! I want to eat!]
The siren hastily nodded her head. She seemed to want to eat quite a bit.
“If you can eat it without damaging the skin, you can eat it.”
[Really? Wow! Master is the best!]
“You shouldn’t damage the skin.”
[Yes!]
She nodded her head cheerfully, the siren shaking her head to and fro as she contemplated how to eat.
[Uuuuu… Master…]
And she couldn’t find a way out and cried. A smile came out of the sorrowful eyes that looked at me.
“Kuh. You can eat the head. You don’t need the scalp.”
[Hot! Thank you, master!]
As I suggested her way, the siren hurriedly put her head on Zepheth’s head.
Enemy-! I’m sorry-!
“… Fuck.”
And the sight of Siren eating Zepes… Was actually uncomfortable to watch. I live in the eyes I haven’t seen!!!
*****
I went back to Elder Peter and told him how I had tamed the Siren.
“…”
I heard the way I wanted to hear so desperately, but the old man Peter’s face didn’t look happy. He put on a bewildered expression.
“You really… Subdued the Siren with force?”
“Yes.”
Haha… I will… Thanks for telling me.”
Elder Peter burst into a dejected laugh and shook his head. It was really strange. Elder Peter, who appeared to be in his twenties, now looked very old. That must mean he was very disappointed.
“So that’s what you mean.”
“…”
“I have a suggestion for you, Peter.”
“What is it?”
“Would you like to join hands with me?”
“…Let’s hold hands? What does that mean?”
To reveal my true feelings, I took off my mask and sat in front of him with my bare face. It was my real face, not a bast face.
He looked straight into the eyes of Peter the Elder and said.
“I was thinking of making a wish that Mr. Peter would work for me. But that won’t win Mr. Peter’s heart either. So I’ll help Mr. Peter.”
“…”
“I will help Peter and bring peace to his wife. There are still many unknown truths in this world. Even if it is not violence, there must be a way to tame monsters. We will create an opportunity for you to pray.”
“…Why are you trying to help me? I’m a freak who didn’t deserve it!”
“What does that matter?”
“Yes?”
“If I’m going to help you win Mr. Peter’s heart, what does it matter if Mr. Peter is a monster or not?”
I grabbed Elder Peter’s shoulders and gave strength to his neck.
“Peter. Dark City is small. I want to tear down the wall that surrounds Dark City. So I want to tell the children who will grow up in this land that this world is much larger and more mysterious than you know.”
This is sincere.
Dark City is a narrow space for me. If I make all the beauties in Dark City my woman, is that the end? No. I want more girls
And there were four other cities of similar size in this world besides the Dark City, and there was also a group called Monster Hunters who wandered around like nomads.
I want to make all the beauties there my woman.
‘World Harem! That is the world of dreams!’
But since it’s obvious that they won’t help me if I tell them my true feelings, I packaged it nicely for the children who will grow up in the future.
But if you tear down the wall surrounding the Dark City, a wide world opens up, right? Strictly speaking, I didn’t lie at all.
“If Peter helps me, I can achieve that dream faster. I will help Peter first. So please help Peter too, no, for the future leaders.”
“…”
Peter’s gaze at me changed. It seemed that if I persuaded him a little more, he would come over to me.
“Peter. I told you to help me. So please ask me to help you too. How many people in this world can live without help from others? We help each other and live for a better tomorrow.”
“… Really.”
Peter, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
“Can you really help me? Can you help me?”
“I’ll help you.”
“Thank you.”
Unable to contain his indescribable emotions, Elder Peter lowered his head.
“Keugh…!”
Old Peter wept from his chest.
365 years old.
I was old enough to dry my tears.
*****
Me and Peter the Elder returned the Siren to the Dark City. Of course, I got off in the middle and flew directly using the ruler of gravity.
She did not forget to give the order to the siren to appear in the dark city a week later.
The appearance of the Siren was enough to divert the eyes of the heroes.
“Then I will keep Zepes’ hide for a while.”
“Yes. We will contact you soon.”
Peter the Elder’s workshop was so small that it was impossible to accommodate all of Zepes’ hides. So, he decided to move only some of the hides to his workshop and keep some in his inventory.
So many leathers in front of my eyes! And when he disappeared, Peter the Elder was startled and fell asleep. He asked how and he told him it was a simple magic trick.
The existence of the inventory cannot be told to anyone. A man with many secrets is mysterious and as charming as that. Of course, it’s not at all a crazy idea to seduce old man Peter.
Oh right. And when they told me to leave the skin intact, they really took out all the flesh except for the skin. He really has a lot of talent.
“Oh, busy, busy.”
Anyway, after taking Elder Peter to the tailor, I took off my mask for the first time in a while and hurriedly walked away with my bare face.
“Jimin!”
“Ah… Heh.”
I saw Han Ji-min waiting for me wearing a pretty dress. She ran, waving her arms, calling her name out loud.
“Sorry. Did you wait a long time?”
“No, I didn’t wait long.”
It’s been a long time since I met Han Ji-min like this. It’s the first time I see you today since the siren appeared.
All I have left is time, but she didn’t.
“Ugh!”
“Huh? What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
When I suddenly grabbed her breasts, Han Ji-min was taken aback. I leaned over her and looked up at her.
“You’re so pretty that my heart hurts…”
“Oh what the heck! I was surprised!”
Hehe. But it’s real. You’re so pretty.”
“Oh really. Don’t say things like that because you’re getting chicken skin.”
“It’s real? It’s so pretty. Everyone~ Look here! My girlfriend is so pretty!”
“Yaya! Be quiet! What’s wrong? Seriously!”
Embarrassed Ji-min Han was busy hiding her face as she shouted at people wandering the streets of her.
“Haven’t you eaten? Let’s eat something expensive and delicious.”
“If you do it one more time, I’ll just go. Okay?”
Hehe. I got it.”
He casually wrapped his arms around her and started dating her.
*****
Six days have passed since I formed an alliance with Peter the Elder. In the meantime, I checked my current work or committed the Dark Lady.
Perhaps because of the occasional offense, the Dark Lady’s miasma was still intact. I was able to force myself to hold a woman who hated me, so it was a great time.
“Let’s see.”
Lying in bed, I went to the final inspection before the operation to be executed tomorrow.
Tomorrow was the day to carry out a strategy that had been painstakingly worked for a long time.
Operation Fox Hunt.
A fox hiding in a safe burrow had to be pulled out of the burrow and captured alive. I had no intention of failing as much as I was busy preparing various things.
“Step 1. Bring the Siren to lure the nine-tailed fox and divert the eyes of the heroes.”
The nine-tailed fox is no different from the Hero Association’s secret weapon in case of a monster crisis. The nine-tailed fox does not move even when an S-class villain appears, but moves when a monster appears.
This time, like the last time, the nine-tailed fox will observe the passing situation from afar.
“Step 2. Attract nine tailed foxes.”
Then I step in and lure the gumiho. She appears in front of her, throws out a meaningful word, and leaves, and the nine-tailed fox will follow her.
“Step 3. Suppression.”
He lures the nine-tailed fox to an uninhabited place and sets out to subdue it. As long as you choose the monster hunter superpower as your weapon to hunt the nine-tailed fox, you will be able to subdue the nine-tailed fox without difficulty.
However, one thing to note here is that you must use your strength carefully so as not to kill the nine-tailed fox.
I don’t know why, but my psychic powers have become abnormally strong. I could kill the nine-tailed fox without my knowledge, so I had to be careful.
So, Flame Witch and Aqua Girl will be waiting there. Flame Witch was an S-class hero with strong firepower, and Aqua Girl used water to suffocate a nine-tailed fox.
With two people, you can easily subdue the nine-tailed fox.
“The long-awaited 4th step. Self-sufficient.”
And the last thing is to make the gumiho my own.
It was clear that the nine-tailed fox would have stronger mental strength than the Monster and Flame Witch. But I’m sure I can make a nine-tailed fox my own more easily than Flame Witch.
Because the nine-tailed fox was related to the quest.
“Tsba fucking perfect from start to finish.”
It was a perfect operation with no gaps to be found. It was indeed a strategy set up by the best brain in Dark City.
Just wait for the gumiho!
*****
The next day, Siren appeared in the Dark City as I ordered. Since Area 105 had already been heavily damaged once, she showed up right next to Area 106 this time.
As I expected, S-class and A-class heroes mobilized to Area 106.
“Where’s the flame location? Why can’t I see it?”
“That, that’s… I can’t reach you!”
“What? Damn it! Of course now! You! Contact the Flame Witch somehow! Without her, it’s hard to stop the Siren!”
“Yes!”
All the other S-class heroes gathered, but only the location of the flames was invisible. The head of the Valencia Association yelled at the staff to find the location of the flame.
“You never know when he might attack! Prepare for battle!”
“Prepare for battle!”
Heroes are ready for battle. But the Siren flew over the sea flapping her wings, she did not attack the heroes.
Sirens faithfully carried out my orders.
“Hello Gumiho?”
“You are…”
And I appeared in front of the nine-tailed fox waiting in the distance.
