I Was Possessed in a Hunter Story Where the Protagonist Eats Everything by Himself - Chapter 109
109. Erina Esnatia’s Wedding
“It’s a deal, returner.”
Lee Seong-hyun’s eyes began to shake at those words.
The pupils are rigid and the person swallows saliva.
Seeing Lee Seong-hyun for the first time.
He soon pretended not to show it.
“You’re talking strange.”
“It looks like your ears are blocked. Stop being pretentious, returner.”
At my words, Seonghyun Lee looks at me as if he is going to kill me.
“What do you know?”
“You’re returning.” That’s the only thing I know.”
Seonghyun Lee laughed as if relieved by my words.
Seonghyun Lee’s eyes twitched for a moment, but he began speaking again in a disparaging manner.
“Then you know. If I really want to, I can kill you here and return.”
His heart is pounding as if he is squeezing out his blood.
I took a breath to calm down.
Just enough so that Seonghyun Lee doesn’t notice.
I shouldn’t let anyone know that I’m nervous.
Everything I say from here on out is bluffing.
“If you can do it, do it. If it’s worth the penalty.”
I don’t know exactly what Seong-Hyun Lee’s penalty is.
One thing is certain: you can’t use regression as you wish.
There is definitely some kind of penalty.
And even if things go awry, the penalty is such that you can never use regression until you meet the ‘Empress’.
Seonghyun Lee said as he grabbed my collar.
“It looks like they want to confirm whether it’s real or not. I could kill you here and just take your heart. If I get caught, all I have to do is wait until the next regression.”
Seonghyun Lee is right.
Lee Seong-hyun also knows the value of Ameris’ heart.
So, here you are taking a gamble by killing me and stealing my heart.
If you fail, you can just wait for the Empress in prison.
So tell a lie.
“I am a regressor. This is the second time.”
Seonghyun Lee’s expression crumpled as if he was embarrassed.
“You bug. You… !”
“Regression skill. It hasn’t caught me anywhere so far, right? Me too.”
A skill that cannot be detected by anything.
A skill that cannot be recognized humans because do not know it and the idea itself is impossible.
That is the return of this world.
I just don’t exist.
“I am a regressor. You didn’t remember me when you first met me.”
“That’s what it is.”
“Even if I return, you won’t remember. If you kill me now, I will do whatever it takes to kill you because you don’t remember me.”
Seonghyun Lee laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Like you?”
Seonghyun Lee smiling while looking into my eyes.
Seonghyun Lee is a regressor.
But why do we care so much about regression?
If it were me, I would have already regressed to the point where things would have gone terribly wrong.
No matter how much of a penalty there was, if it had been Lee Seong-hyun’s personality, he would have regressed when he got hit by me in ‘Night of Ameris’.
I was anxious because I didn’t know what effect Lee Seong-hyun’s return would have on this world.
Because I don’t know what the consequences of my hasty actions will be.
Therefore, I thought it was a mistake to stimulate Lee Seong-hyun more than necessary in Night of Ameris.
Seonghyun Lee definitely expected a return.
However, I was reassured by the world where nothing happened even after a few days.
Even if Lee Seong-hyun returns, this world will remain.
However, a few days later, when I heard that Lee Seong-hyun had returned safely, I had other thoughts.
I wonder if Lee Seong-hyeon is not able to return as he wants.
I don’t know the penalty.
That’s because it’s something that didn’t appear in the original work.
One thing is certain: death of anyone else than the Empress is avoided, even if it means destroying one’s pride.
Even though the Lee Seong-hyun I know is not that type of personality.
That would be a strong enough penalty to break his pride.
Seonghyun Lee can never return alone.
He laughed at Lee Seong-hyun, who was holding him by the collar and not letting go, poking his finger in the chest.
“Before you entered that gate, you were weak.”
“…”
Lee Seong-hyun looks speechless.
He said, removing his hand that was holding my collar and shaking off the collar of his shirt.
“I was a little lost in the first regression, and I was able to meet you in the second regression. I don’t think the third regression will be difficult.”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Lee Seong-hyun with red veins.
“If you haven’t gained strength yet. I don’t think I can lose. Of course, even now.”
He doesn’t know that I gained strength at the gate more than that day.
In other words, I probably think that the power to overcome me was originally mine.
He spoke to Lee Seong-hyeon, who was frowning.
“Unlike you, I will regress if I die right now. There is just another penalty. I will definitely kill you in the next reversion.”
Seonghyun Lee rolling his head with his mouth closed
Don’t give yourself time to think too deeply. No matter how much truth is mixed with a lie, if you look deeply, there are gaps.
With that in mind, I handed Seonghyun Lee a sweet offer.
“So, this is Seonghyun Lee’s deal. I don’t want to die stupidly and get a penalty here. And you want great power, right?”
“What do you want to do with me?”
Only then did Lee Seong-hyun turn his head and become interested.
I gave him the heart of Ameris.
“I’m sure you feel the value of this. I’ll give you this.”
“Then what do you get?”
“It’s a condition. After eating this, you must step on an S-rank man named Zion.”
Seonghyeon Lee’s eyebrows twitched at the name Zion.
Also. Like Lee Seong-hyun in any episode, Lee Seong-hyun in episode 4 had a terrible personality.
He was publicly humiliated by Ion, an S-ranked person with a shitty personality, at a gathering of high-ranking hunters.
Seonghyun Lee will not refuse this offer.
Even if it is an S-rank hunter, if he has the heart of Ameris, he is confident that he will win.
He said, looking at the heart.
“Your compatibility. If you give me a little push, you won’t lose to Zion.”
Zion is like a so-called necromancer.
Of course, he doesn’t use real corpses, but he summons things like necromancers or zombies.
Lee Seong-hyeon, who handles the dragon of Ashter and is good at dealing with Dain, is a perfect counter to Zion.
From noble mtl dot come
However, in the 4th round, he was pushed out in the weight class itself.
Seonghyun Lee probably knows that best.
If you hand over the heart of Ameris to Seonghyun Lee, Seonghyun Lee will definitely be able to defeat Zion.
We might be able to get Erina out during that time.
‘If the problem is that I created Lee Seong-Hyeon, who can defeat Zion, with my own hands, then it is a problem.’
Still, there is no way.
With minimal safety measures, Seonghyun Lee had a reason not to kill me, and without this, I can’t think of a way to beat Zion.
He looked at Seonghyeon Lee and urged him.
“So I will do it or not. It’s a story that will only benefit you. Oh, if you’re thinking of just eating and shutting up, then stop. If you don’t help me, I’m sure I’ll die. You know what happens next, right?”
When I spoke with a threatening smile, Lee Seong-hyeon was silent for a moment as if thinking, then looked in this direction and asked.
“I ask you just one thing. “What do you want to do?”
I was momentarily taken aback by the uncharacteristic question of Lee Seong-hyun.
He answered because he had no reason not to.

In order to move as quietly as possible, we moved as carefully as possible using general aviation rather than Baek A-rin’s private plane.
The wedding happened to be on Sunday.
We left on Friday evening without any notice to the academy.
‘The mindset that I only have to come back by Monday morning.’
Nothing is difficult.
I can’t leave now that I’ve come this far.
Tonight, I kidnap Erina and take her back to Korea.
That’s it.
Baek Arin squatted down and looked around her.
“It’s sloppy.”
“That’s because you are an S-rank hunter.”
Certainly, as Baek A-rin said, the security is so lax that you wonder if it is okay to do this.
It wasn’t difficult to get to the park behind the mansion where Zion was staying.
Baek Arin, who was hiding in the bushes and slowly looking towards her mansion, turned her head towards me.
Then she said, as if asking what she was talking about.
“No, everything is artificial, starting with the grass. I guess it’s a hassle to maintain it.”
“Is it all fake? It looks like you don’t have much money.”
Baek Arin shook her head at my words.
“There’s no way an S-rank hunter would do that.”
“Or maybe it’s just preference.”
He is a man who gloomily summons zombies.
It seems that he didn’t like the plants that were full of vitality.
Baek A-rin looked at Lee Seong-hyeon, who was heading away from us to the main gate of Zion’s mansion.
“It’s moving as I said before.”
Baek A-rin looked at me and Lee Seong-hyun in disbelief at my words and asked.
“How on earth did they convince me of that? It’s not that I didn’t believe it, but it was a bit surprising to see it with my own eyes.”
“Great speech.”
If I told Seonghyun Lee that I gave him a ridiculous fraud item, Baek Arin would kill me first, not Zion.
Before approaching the mansion, she took out the mask she had prepared in advance from inside her outer robe.
A strange shape where everything is black except for the hole for visibility.
When I handed her the mask, she asked curiously.
“What is this?”
“If you wear a mask, it would be better to cover your face.”
What would you do if you ended up confronting Zion differently than planned?
Fighting is absurd. You have to run away first.
Wouldn’t it be better if you couldn’t see the face?
‘That’s not all.’
At my words, Baek A-rin was silent for a moment and then spoke.
“Are you a fear?”
“It’s like a crime movie and it’s good.”
After thinking for a moment, Baek Arin smiled and made the shape of her pistol with her hand.
“That’s not bad.”
At that time, a loud sound was heard from the front door of the mansion, as if something exploded.
‘It’s earlier than expected.’
She put her mask on her face.
She said, taking Baek Arin’s scent and holding her gun.
“Now, let’s go kidnap the castle princess.”
