A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 147

The law of strong self-respect (3)

“… … “What the hell?”

Bainkal lowered his bowstring and looked at the scene unfolding in the distance with a pale complexion.

All my colleagues suffered.

There were two 5-stars and two 4-stars, and at most, one kid couldn’t handle it.

‘Even my arrow couldn’t hit him.’

He was famous for his arrows. No matter how fast he moved, he would shoot accurately without missing anything, but Harang’s movements were different from that.

Because he moved acrobatically, sending blue sparks flying between colleagues, his vision was shaken and the tip of his bow kept shaking, making it impossible to aim properly!

At first, there were still a few opportunities. Because he could have hit the guy with a shot or two.

But as time passed, it got used to my arrows and never gave me a chance.

Even the last arrow fired would not have been able to be fired if Harang had not intentionally left an opening.

‘No more sniping is possible. If you fight him one on one, you will definitely lose.’

Bainkal, who did not know the condition of Harang, who was currently injured and in disrepair, hurriedly gathered his equipment and left.

It was still quite a distance from the cliff here to the place where the battle took place.

‘Of course. He saw me!’

As soon as he fired the first arrow, Harang jumped into the air and deliberately looked in this direction until he was hit by his second arrow.

Normally, it is not thought that a 5-star drone can see this far away. This was only possible for trained bear hunters.

But why?

The reason I keep thinking that he saw my face!

‘No, that can’t be…’ … All I can do is check my location.’

Even he, who had good eyesight as a former archer, couldn’t clearly distinguish Harang’s face from that distance.

He quickly crawled down the back of the cliff, sweating profusely.

Hunter’s physical ability was inferior to that of other 5-star warriors, so if he decided to run, he could have been caught up. Even if I erase my footprints and traces as much as possible, I still feel anxious.

‘okay… … ‘I’m going there.’

Coincidentally, there is a village nearby.

It is built on a cliff, and it is a place you must pass through to get to Deltain Territory. If it is there, you will be able to hide your body.

Bainkal, so convinced, hurriedly took his steps.

* * *

I almost used up the potion.

‘… … Is this the last time?’

Harang sighed as he packed the only remaining bottle of potion in his arms. At home, this potion was as easy to find as a drink rolling around on the floor, but it is rare here.

Even with the money I got from robbing the Black Rum mercenaries’ wallet, I could only get the cheapest, lowest-level potions.

Thanks to bandages on his left wrist and pouring in divine power, the bones seem to have healed properly, but you shouldn’t fight too hard just yet. Even though Kaladun has a very good recovery ability, if she overexerts herself like this for several days, her body won’t be able to withstand it.

‘still… … ‘I have to go.’

The longer it is delayed, the more mercenaries will come after you.

Harang, carrying a backpack, walked along the forest path. Feeling uncomfortable about the presence of the archer I had missed earlier, I gave chase despite being injured all over my body, and eventually found that he was running away in the same direction he was heading.

In other words, you always had to be careful because you never know if the archer might come up with some kind of scheme again and try to trick you.

Walking through a snow-covered forest was more difficult than I imagined, and it took a lot of physical strength because my entire body was damaged and my senses were so sensitive that I had to walk through them.

I walked and walked all night long. The only way to rest was to rest shivering in a small crevice behind a pile of stones, or dig into the ground under a tree and take a short nap.

In order to not feel the cold, he had to surround his body with auras, but just walking through the rugged mountainous terrain and enduring the snowstorm consumed too much mana, so he had to endure the cold.

If that were all it was, it would have been bearable.

-Big!!

Wow!

The attacks of the monster living in the snow were difficult to deal with even in perfect condition, and I felt my body getting heavier with each cut I took.

Harang barely withstood the snowstorm and reached the village located at the edge of the cliff, and let out a long, hot breath.

“Haaa… … .”

It was a very old, very dilapidated village. Even monsters rarely visit this place, and the stockade looked like it had collapsed a long time ago, been abandoned, and had not even been repaired.

[Cliff’s Edge Hunter’s Shelter]

Squeak, Squeak!

A wooden village sign sways in the wind. The sharp wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff was cold enough to freeze the heart, and the sight of the village that received the wind was extremely bleak and cold.

‘… … It’s cold.’

It seemed like he might faint at any moment, but Harang did not enter the village right away. After loosening the Mitiel that was wrapped around her left wrist and forming it into the form of a [Memory Cube], she sat down with difficulty, closed her eyes, and recited a spell.

Before entering enemy territory, one had to prepare… … .

* * *

In the end, when Harang entered the village, six hours had passed since he first arrived here.

Whenever he moved his body, his body temperature would rise and his body temperature would be maintained, but Harang, who sat still and used up all his mana while casting magic, entered the village suffering from severe hypothermia.

As I walked through the cold streets of the village with my hood down, I felt thrilling gazes from all directions.

Slam!

A fur-clad hunter jumped down from the top of the building and aimed his crossbow.

“Please identify yourself. “Are you a hunter?”

“… … He’s a mercenary. “I heard that the hunter’s shelter allows warriors passing through the valley to rest.”

Harang showed the temporary mercenary badge he received from Glaisagar.

“Why, I heard monsters howling in the winter night. Was this something you did? “He doesn’t look like a mercenary because he’s small, but his hunting skills seem to be better than he looks.”

The hunter nodded.

“Still, we’ll have to thoroughly check your identity. Take off your hood and reveal her face.”

Harang sighed softly, took off his hood, and raised his head. As his black hair mixed with white blew in the wind and his face was revealed, the hunter opened his eyes wide and lowered his crossbow.

“… … Hmm, you were a kid. “That fugitive’s story is true.”

“fugitive?”

“okay. About half a day ago, a fugitive from a bear hunter escaped here. She said her child was trying to take her life and begged her to do it. She thought it was crazy and locked her in a holding cell… … “Would you like to check?”

“… … .”

When Harang nodded silently, the hunter turned around and walked away. As I headed toward the center of the village, I saw a man with his head bowed, his limbs bound, in a small detention cell covered in leather.

“Are you the hunter you were chasing?”

Go closer and check the face. After checking the type of arrows and bow used, clothing, and equipment, Harang slightly turned his head and looked at the hunter.

“How is it?”

“… … “I think that’s right.”

“Then you are lucky. If you’re going to execute that guy, take him willingly. However, it is late at night today, so take a rest at the hunter’s lodge. “We also have to go through procedures before disposing of him.”

As Harang walked towards the lodgings he had guided, the black bear hunter, Letian, adjusted his crossbow in silence.

‘Well, I can’t read his expression. The atmosphere is strangely secretive… … .’

He was a boy so beautiful and mysterious that one could have mistaken him for a snow woman who appeared in a snowy mountain, had his coat not been so tattered and dirty.

‘I can’t believe a child like that walked all the way here on his own feet…’ … .’

Letian raised the corners of his mouth.

‘I guess it doesn’t matter. Even if you add up the value of all the game caught in recent years, that one would be more expensive.’

He glanced at the man inside the detention cell. In the first place, the man in the detention center was not Bainkal, the hunter that Harang was chasing. He thought he wouldn’t recognize his face anyway, so he just captured one prisoner and locked them all in.

The real Bainkal was quietly resting in a corner of the village, preparing for ‘hunting’.

‘dawn. ‘Aim for when he is completely asleep.’

When Letian signaled with his eyes, the hunters who had been hiding throughout the village scattered in all directions.

‘No matter how great a warrior you are, you will not be able to survive in the hunter’s realm.’

Whioooo… !!

In the evening when the sun has completely set, the wind becomes harsher in the cliff village. However, it was not a big problem for the hunters who made their home here.

“Bainkal. “What are you hesitating about?”

As Letian stood on the roof of the village building, pulling the bowstring, and watched the dormitory where Harang was sleeping, Bainkal took a step back and raised his bow with a frown on his face.

“damn… … “He’s so carefree because he hasn’t seen how he fights.”

“heard. A 5-star warrior. Plus, you use magic, right?”

“No, it’s not just that. Even 5 stars have levels. That guy… … “There’s something strange about determining a level based on such an ordinary level of difference.”

“Does not matter. This is the bear hunter’s rest area. “I’m used to dealing with strong people.”

The hunters living in the hunter’s shelter at the edge of the cliff had at least a 3-star skill level, and the older hunters in the village had a skill level of about 5 stars.

Looking at it this way, it may not seem like a big deal, but if they worked together and developed a strategy, they could hunt a level 7 monster, and their skills were specialized in hunting opponents stronger than humans.

There was a record of easily hunting down a 6-star criminal who attacked the village before, so it would be very easy for a kid like that.

Whiooooo-!!

The wind gets stronger.

I looked at the sky and thought that the wind tonight would be calmer than usual, but the storm was strangely rough.

Storms that make it difficult for ordinary people to even stand still make it difficult for even arrows filled with the aura of hunters with superhuman senses to hit their target.

Anyway, the prey would have been deeply asleep by now.

When Letian gestured, sharp thorn-like things flew into the dormitory where Harang was sleeping from all directions and stuck in the wall.

Push… … .

Purple gas seeped in. A poisonous gas that acts as a fatal poison to the general public.

However, if you are a superhuman who has mastered a strength of 4 stars or higher, you will not die.

‘Rush in.’

At Letian’s hand gesture, five hunters wearing masks rushed into Harang’s quarters with weapons in hand.

… … After a while.

Quack!!

“Keuheook!”

“Oops!”

The building collapsed and all five hunters were caught up in the explosion and were thrown like popcorn in all directions.

“what… … !”

Letian hurriedly hung an arrow on the bowstring and watched the building where the explosion occurred. Then, feeling something cold, he looked up at the sky.

“… … “What is that?”

At the top of the highest watchtower in the village at the edge of the cliff, something wearing what looked like a pure white uniform was sitting there.

The snowstorm grew stronger and began to swirl around a small person wearing a uniform.

On its forehead was a crown-like antlers of a green deer, its hair had turned pure white, and its eyes were a mixture of silver and blue, emitting a subtle, mysterious light.

There was something floating on his left hand that looked like a bright blue crystal, but it slowly shattered, turned into powder, and disappeared.

… … Harang felt it was such a waste.

I have to consume one of the ‘highest level magic crystals’ here, which can only be made about two per month.

‘However, now is the most optimal environment to use [Dangakhyang Advent]… … .’

Still, the wind blows.

The edge of the cliff was also the place where the harshest winds blew.

Magic is the act of moving natural phenomena by mathematically calculating magical power.

Depending on how it is used, it is also possible to add magical power to ‘natural phenomena that have already occurred’ and move them according to one’s will.

‘The scope is limited to the entire village.’

A [Memory Cube] floats above Harang’s left hand, where the magic crystal has been broken, and Charak! Charak! It flipped over with a sound.

[Harang-style magic sword]

[Whirling snowflakes]

Hwioooo-!!!

The snowstorm became more violent.

The magic used before was closer to a round sword that blows gently like a spring breeze and cuts down enemies like a sharp blade, but now this magic is no different from a wide sword that cuts down everything in sight.

“Shoot! “Shoot him!”

White rays of light were fired from all directions and rushed towards Harang. However, when Harang stirred the blue moon once, the already rough wind spun upward and formed a shield, as if the beam’s trajectory was twisted and headed in an unexpected direction.

‘It’s a hunter’s village. If your main weapon is arrows, the irregular flow of wind will soon become your weakness… … .’

Crispy! Letian hurriedly retreated as he felt something cutting across his forearm.

“In the wind… … It contains sharp energy. It’s not ordinary magic… … !”

“Wow, is this really what magic is like…? … ?”

“Everyone calm down! The wind is strong, but it’s not so strong that you can’t avoid it if you focus your senses!”

As he said, Harang spread his magic to the entire village, so the gap between the blades of wind was quite large.

Moreover, since gimmicks were almost eliminated, it was not something that hunters with good sense could avoid if they put their minds to it.

Push, boom!!

A bomb thrown by a hunter exploded, and the watchtower that supported Harang’s feet collapsed. Dozens of beams of light once again rush towards Harang, who has no choice but to jump to the floor.

Whioooo!! Most of the arrows changed their trajectory due to the wind, but some arrows passed by Harang.

Pick!

Blood spattered from his cheek, but Harang swung his sword as if nothing had happened.

Quack quack!! The blade of the wind left huge scratches on the walls and floor of the building, and the hunters standing there were seriously injured and fell out.

“Kwaaaa!!”

If it had been the same, it would have been an attack that could have been avoided, but due to the strong wind blowing throughout this space, I was unable to properly control my body.

Papa pa paak! Arrows are fired from all directions, traps are triggered, and sharp spears shoot out from the floor.

A huge barbed wire fell from the sky and attempted to trap him, a chain bound with iron flew in from an unseen place and attempted to snatch his ankles, and dozens of tiny poisonous stings flew at him.

They left big and small scars on Harang, but they couldn’t stop him.

“That… It’s magic… … ?”

Letian looked dejected at the sight as if a snowstorm had surrounded and protected Harang’s body. Doesn’t that look exactly like the ‘Snow Woman’ that you only see in legends?

Even a skilled hunter could not withstand the storm and was unable to control his body, and the sight of him flying in the wind and snowflakes and dancing with his sword was mysterious, fantastic, and even beautiful.

… … If the tip of his sword wasn’t aimed at their necks, he would have been able to enjoy it more happily.

“What did I say! “I said that guy is not normal!”

“… … .”

Bainkal’s seemingly frightened words were not nonsense.

Hunters specialize in dealing with the strong. No matter how large the creature was or how high it was, it was possible to hunt it by exploiting its weaknesses and using tools to make it vulnerable.

“Kwaaaa!!”

“Come on, Elder! “Arrows don’t work!”

“The wind is too strong! Somehow, a way… … !”

“The trap almost doesn’t work because he doesn’t touch the ground! On the contrary, it is hindering the hunters’ movements!”

“There are hunters who get carried away by the wind and step on their own traps and fall!”

“… … .”

Yes. Hunters fight against the strong… … It was specialized.

in this case.

The hunter was that boy.

The prey was a hunter village.

The boy, who resembled a snow woman, was thoroughly prepared to attack the hunters’ weaknesses, never unreasonably calling himself the ‘weak’ and the hunters the ‘strong’.

“… … Hey, Bainkal.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Is that kid really a kid? “No, is it really a human being?”

“what? What is that… … .”

Letian was not surprised by Harang’s talent.

Five stars at fifteen? And even magic?

That’s great, but it could be possible.

However, if you have that much power at such a young age, you may become conceited and overconfident in your power… … .

The boy doubted and doubted his own strength, resources, and strategy until the end, thoroughly analyzing and preparing until he could achieve a clear victory.

The result was this.

Boom! A boy in a pure white uniform lands in front of Bainkal and Letian, causing a snowstorm. He slowly began to approach, the sword dangling in his right hand. He already had scars all over his body, but he didn’t think he could win at all.

“Uh, uh… … .”

Bainkal was seen behind him raising his trembling hand and forcibly putting aura into the arrow, but he couldn’t hunt that guy if he couldn’t maintain his composure.

‘Ha, being hunted by a hunter is my end… … .’

As a hunter, this must be a truly unfortunate fate.
