Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 309



309 – 309. Demon Hunt (4)

– Really, amazing…

– In the meantime, those who didn’t listen to him were just killed on the spot.

– And look at him hiding like a rat whenever he sees Jin Yoo-ha, lol.

– Even if it was a dream, it seems he was still scared, lol.

Min Tae-hoon’s dream video clearly showed what kind of existence a demon is.

The video gradually reached its climax, showing Min Tae-hoon with Alice by his side, treating her as if she were his servant.

– Isn’t that him? The guy who was amazing in the group sparring earlier.

– Yeah, I think he’s the Sword Master’s grandson.

– This is so creepy…

And Min Tae-hoon, who was watching this, started convulsing on the chair.

“Stop it─! Don’t make me laugh!!! This, this, this─! This can’t be, this can’t be real─!!!”

Sssssss─

Thick, dark energy began to flow from Min Tae-hoon’s eyes, nose, and mouth.

“How, how did I, how did I get to this point─!!!!”

He couldn’t accept it as reality.

Crack─

His body began to swell, and the restraint artifact used on him, which was meant for hunters who committed crimes, started to scream.

It was clear to anyone that something unusual was about to happen.

– I knew those demon b*stards were dangerous… If it weren’t for Velvet Hunter Academy, this world would have been doomed already…

– Ugh, that’s so disgusting…

– Shouldn’t we just kill him now…?

– Uh, that looks like a sign of awakening;; Shouldn’t we deal with it quickly, Cheonhwa-nim!?

‘Hmm, good. I think it’s about time to explain.’

Seeing that her intention was being understood, Shin Se-hee nodded slightly.

“The reason we’re not killing that demon right now is because there’s something we want to show you.”

– Show us?

– Demon awakening…?

– Are they trying to show us the second phase of the demon?

Shin Se-hee shook her head.

“Hmm, you all know about demon awakening to some extent, right? And its dangers.”

– Yeah, they always show that in safety training…

– Doesn’t it transform into a monstrous form and become even stronger?

“Actually, that’s not such a big threat? Ah, not by general standards. By Utopia’s standards. We’ve faced it multiple times and have accumulated data. We judged that one member of Utopia’s party could handle it sufficiently. Other parties above A-rank can handle it appropriately as well.”

– Wow─!

– Amazing…

– Oh.

– Is it really possible to awaken as a demon alone?

– Other parties are sufficiently responsive at A-rank or higher;; Then how strong is Utopia;;

“But.”

Shin Se-hee interrupted with a calm voice.

“They are not demons.”

– ?

– Demons?

– What is that? Is it similar to a demon?

The awakening of demons was known even among ordinary people, but

the information about the demons that manifested on Earth was top secret, shared only among the senior instructors of the Velvet Hunter Academy, the Demon Extermination Squad, and the top brass of the Hunter Management Bureau.

Because it was such top-secret information, the chat room, unaware of the situation, was filled with confused voices.

And, as if he was about to awaken, Min Tae-hoon’s pupils began to tremble finely.

“Uh, ah, ugh─!? Wh-what is this─! Wh-what did you say!? I’m a sacrifice!? No, no!! I didn’t summon it!”

Min Tae-hoon shook his head in clear panic, tilting his head back.

“No, no! No, no, no! Damn it! Stop! Stop ittttt!!!!!!”

Shin Se-hee continued speaking, looking at Min Tae-hoon with an indifferent expression.

“Until now, it was not known to the outside world because demons either offered sacrifices or summoned themselves by sacrificing themselves… But not anymore. If a jet-black gate appears anywhere, please be careful.”

Originally treated as top-secret information,

if demons were to emerge from the gate, it was necessary to reveal their danger to the public.

“These demons will be our new ‘enemies’ in this world.”

With Shin Se-hee’s words,

KABoooM─!!

With an ear-splitting roar,

a black aura began to surge explosively from beneath Min Tae-hoon’s feet.

* * *

“It was long, but now it begins.”

Crack─

Kang Do-hee couldn’t hide her excitement, her hands itching as she prepared for the battle against the demons.

Recently, she had faced the demon beasts, but even then, she had only inserted the demon stones.

I didn’t face the formidable enemy directly.

I had been wanting to test my recent training results anyway.

“Hmm, wait a little longer.”

I understood her feelings, but I stopped her with a chuckle.

“What? Why!”

“Well, if this guy is the one I know, he’ll probably be extremely weak at first.”

“Hey, weak? Didn’t you say he was a demon!”

“Ah, only at first. Just wait a moment, and he’ll become a worthy opponent.”

“Graaah─!! Damn it all─!!!!!”

I watched Min Taehoon, who was surrounded by a black aura and screaming, with a calm expression.

Then, at some point.

Suddenly.

The black aura converged into his body, and Min Taehoon’s screams stopped.

“Uh, hey, junior. What, what is that…?”

Im Gaeul said in a terrified voice.

Gurgle─ Gurgle─

Well, Min Taehoon’s entire body started to melt.

His arms, legs, eyeballs, bones, and skin melted like candle wax as if they had been splashed with hydrochloric acid.

And Min Taehoon’s body, which had melted into a black goo, condensed into a single form.

A round ball of black slime.

Squirm, squirm.

“S-Slime…? No, that’s…?”

Lee Yuri said in a flustered voice.

Although the black, ominous glow was unsettling, the demon that appeared was indeed a slime.

‘Originally, if you attack right now, you can catch him very easily.’

If this were the latter part of the final chapter, I would have attacked right away too.

This guy’s difficulty varied greatly depending on when he appeared.

‘But, it’s not the final chapter yet, and there’s a need to warn people about the dangers of demons, and Utopia couldn’t find a better opponent to gain experience with demons.’

For these various reasons, I decided to hold off on the easiest strategy for dealing with him.

‘Attack while he’s transforming.’

Ssssk─

The slime’s mucus spread like tree roots, as if taking root on the ground.

And then, slowly, its form began to swell and change.

Its name is,

Deception.

It possessed the troublesome power to turn imagination into reality.

This creature embodies the form of what people in this world fear the most.

And that form was not just one monster.

In other words, it was a mixture of several monsters.

‘If you wait for the transformation time in the final chapter, all sorts of creatures will mix together, and it will be a real mess.’

But that was just the childish deception of veterans who spent money and complained about the lack of content.

The first form that Deception clearly took was one we were well familiar with.

“What!? Isn’t that the fire dragon we hunted before!?”

From noble mtl dot com

‘Oh… It’s rare! Crazy! Deception in fire dragon form, I need to take a picture and boast about it in the community─!’

For a moment, my eyes sparkled involuntarily, but I cleared my throat inwardly.

‘Ahem, I’m different from those guys!’

Anyway, a fire dragon appeared.

This was a really rare form.

‘But why are people afraid of the fire dragon they haven’t even experienced properly?’

After thinking for a moment, I soon found the answer.

‘Ah, it’s because they showed the fire dragon’s corpse on TV before?’

That seemed to be the case.

In the TV program ‘Meeting the Hunter,’ they had shown the fire dragon’s corpse before.

The shock people felt at that time seemed to be quite significant.

“But didn’t they only show the severed head back then?”

As if to prove that point, the fire dragon had only its head remaining.

Then, countless arms, legs, and faces of other monsters began to sprout.

Its body started to take the form of a mixture of various monsters.

“Ogre’s arm? That’s weak. Ah, it’s because of the dungeon explosion. Minotaur’s horn, golem’s leg, red werewolf’s claws, vampire bat’s wings, tentacle monster also appeared on TV…”

Analyzing what this guy is mixed with was quite an interesting task.

‘If it’s mixed with the ones that appear in the final chapter, I might have to call the master. But this should be fine.’

It’s not too easy just because it’s mixed with a fire dragon.

At first, the party members, who had slightly deflated expressions thinking it wasn’t that difficult of an enemy, hardened their faces.

The sight of monsters, which are warned as dangerous all over the world, all mixed together was overwhelming, even if it was in Utopia.

The various monster faces attached to its body opened their mouths wide,

Kraaa─!!!

Krarararara!

Kieeeeeeeek!!

Gaaak─!!!

They screamed as if to show off their majesty.

I, who had anticipated this and covered my ears, took my hands off and looked at the party members.

“Well, it seems to be over now. Shall we go catch that guy?”
