Retired Hunter, Becoming Haenam Episode 121

Lightsword and Summoner

Eerie moonlight comes in through the window.

Peshatriya basking in the moonlight in front of the window.

She was alone in her room, looking out the window.

No, she wasn’t alone.

“…Park Dal-gu, is that man really saying that?”

“It’s true, Mother.”

Peshatri’s room located on the upper floor of the royal palace of the Elf Kingdom.

Charlotte came to Peshatri and told him the story of Bak Dal-gu.

The story was about bringing as many elves as possible to Earth to save lives.

Peshatriya took his eyes off the moonlight and looked at the candles illuminating the room.

The candle flame, which had become shorter and shorter, was too small compared to the bright moonlight and could not serve as a sufficient light source.

To Peshatri’s eyes, it looked like an elven kingdom.

‘Even the history of the elves is nothing more than a candle in the wind in the face of the Demon King’s invasion.’

The destruction of the elves has become a reality.

Even though I realized that I was no longer in a position to be picky about whether it was cold or hot rice.

Because this realization came too late, the elven kingdom was now slowly falling into decline.

And now, there was a man who extended a rope toward them.

Park Dal-gu’s proposal was as sweet as rain in a drought.

She wasn’t the kind of person who would have been so shameless as to readily accept that offer.

“I originally planned to send only you, Charlotte… but I will accept Park Dal-gu’s offer.”

“Thank you, Mother. Then let’s—”

“But I will leave behind those who have the strength to fight against those who do not have much time left. Just take the children of the elves.”

“…yes?”

“If several powerful generals go, it could be a nuisance to him. So, Brother and Charlotte… the two of you, including you, should be enough as guides.”

“Then what about your mother?”

Charlotte’s eyes, which showed little change in expression, trembled.

But Peshatriya didn’t even blink an eye.

“The kingdom is destroyed. Who is responsible for this?”

“that…….”

“Of course he is a king. But if the king runs away to save himself, how can he be called a king?”

“……mother.”

Charlotte’s eyes became wet.

Peshatriya understood the feelings of the little girl who had lost her mother.

All she could do was wipe away her tears as she clung to him pitifully.

The face of Peshatriya looking at Charlotte was that of a mother, not a queen.

“Remember, you are the rightful heir to the Elven kingdom… …even though there is no king and you have lost the land that can be called a kingdom. You will establish a new Elven kingdom and become its queen. Do you understand?”

“… Sob.”

“Answer me.”

“Yes, Mother… … .”

Charlotte finally nodded to her mother’s last request.

Peshatri patted her on the back and walked towards the door.

“If the kingdom falls, you will be useless, so raid the kingdom’s treasure trove as much as you can and go to Bak Dal-gu.”

“…What is your mother trying to do?”

“I will prepare for the final fight.”

She opened the door.

Bathed in moonlight, she shone brighter than anything else in the room.

“The Demon King will come to Bakdalgu’s world later. So… it would be better to reduce our power before that.”

Even a mouse will bite a cat when cornered.

She planned to resist the Demon King together with the proud warriors of the elven race.

He left the rest of the work to his daughter, whom he would never mind putting in his eyes.

With Im Ha-rin’s awakening ability, she easily arrived in Incheon from Jeju Island.

I liked the cool sea breeze off the coast of Incheon and the smell of the tidal flats, which were different from those on Jeju Island.

More than that, I was more concerned about Im Ha-rin’s face.

“Harin, half your face is gone. What happened?”

“teacher…….”

Im Ha-rin, who has become very haggard since I last saw her.

Her face was covered with dark circles.

The same goes for Uncle Bongryong next to me.

“Uncle, you seem to have aged a few years.”

“Ugh… I feel so sick just looking at those kids.”

At Uncle Bongryong’s lament, I looked at the members of the tower attack team gathered in the waters off Incheon.

Ha Bong-ryong and Im Ha-rin have known each other for a long time.

And the ‘Gwanggeom’ of the Oryong Guild and the ‘Summoner’ of the Korean Mercenary Association.

These two people had no contact with me, so it was my first time seeing them in person.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Park Dal-gu.”

Since this is our first meeting, let’s start with greetings.

I approached the man holding the sword.

A face with a clown-like appearance on a very skinny body.

His eyes, seen up close, were filled with an inexplicable madness.

“… You’re holding a spear.”

“Because I have a skill called a throwing spear.”

“be weak.”

“…yes?”

Those eerie eyes looking me up and down.

The evaluation was done in an instant.

“A spear is a basic weapon that only those who don’t know how to fight can use. It is inferior and inferior to a sword. Surely you aren’t planning on hunting monsters with that spear?”

“…I’m hunting.”

“Ha! You call these country bumpkins the strategy team. How ridiculous. Don’t talk to me. It makes me want to cut you down.”

“… … .”

Then, the light sword made a face as if it was displeased and quickly flew away.

He squatted down on the breakwater, far away from me.

Gwanggeom takes out his sword and begins to carefully clean it.

What is this guy?

I was dazed for a moment, but then I thought about the name and understood.

What is his nickname?

‘It’s not called the light sword for nothing.’

Mad sword.

He was literally crazy about swords.

The name of the awakening ability is ‘Light Sword’ or something like that.

Anyway, he was a type that was difficult to get along with.

I guess it’s okay for other people.

I stared blankly at the lightsaber and then walked towards the summoner.

She met my eyes and greeted me first.

“hello~.”

“Nice to meet you. What’s your name…?”

“I am Baek Aram from the Korean Mercenary Association! My ability is Summoner. Please take good care of me~.”

“My name is Park Dal-gu and I belong to the guild Dingdingine. Please take good care of me.”

The last member of the top strategy team, ‘Summoner’ Baek Aram.

Still, this person seems normal.

Yeah, if there are 5 people and 2 of them are weird, that doesn’t make sense either.

Thinking about it, I naturally offered to shake his hand.

however.

widely-!

Baek Aram hit my palm hard.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m the type of person who doesn’t like contact with people.”

“…yes?”

“Right? You never know what people are thinking, and they can be sinister too… but the summoned creatures that live with me aren’t like that. Right, Puppy?”

“bruise!”

A class A monster, Cyclone Wolf, suddenly appeared in front of her.

Baek Aram called the monster ‘Puppy’ and held it in her arms.

Then he took out a comb from somewhere and started combing Cyclone Wolf’s fur.

The back of her hand that she had struck was cold, and I was so shocked that my mind also became cold.

One side is stroking the sword, and the other side is summoning a monster and stroking it.

What is this case?

While I was just blankly staring, Im Ha-rin approached me.

“Teacher, are you okay?”

“Uh… I’m fine. But I’m more worried about South Korea than myself.”

“Republic of Korea?”

“There are four towers, but the S-class hunters are in this state… … .”

There are a total of 4 towers in South Korea.

Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, the sea off Incheon, the sea off Busan, and the sea off Seogwipo, Jeju Island.

It’s not easy because there are three underwater gates.

Im Ha-rin also seemed to sympathize with me and bowed her head deeply.

“Haa… But still, they treat me well when I go into battle.”

“… … .”

Yeah, as long as you’re good at fighting, it doesn’t matter.

But at some point, the number of floors will increase and the difficulty will become such that cooperation and party play will be required.

Would this behavior still be acceptable?

It’s still a long way off in the future, but thinking about that time makes my head spin.

“Let’s just try to conquer it. What was so difficult about it?”

“Because it’s an underwater gate, there are breathing problems. We do provide oxygen tanks to each player, but they don’t use the lightsaber because it’s cumbersome to use… The summoner is also throwing a tantrum, demanding that oxygen tanks be made for his summons… .”

“crazy.”

I hit my forehead.

These people are truly crazy.

There are four towers in the Republic of Korea, and since it is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, three of them are underwater towers.

So who will conquer those underwater towers?

“So, I need that… underwater breathing technique, teacher… … .”

“No, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“yes?”

“Let’s just go ahead and attack it.”

I headed towards the tower, still holding onto the water bottle.

‘It reminds me of the time of the cataclysm.’

During the Great Cataclysm, monsters were rampant, but people who gained awakening abilities and installed them were a bigger problem.

And it was I who ruled those bastards and made them human.

I think it’s time to go back to the old days.

There’s no CCTV on the tower anyway.

* * *

A tower located in the sea off Incheon.

We set out to conquer the 4th floor.

Because it was an underwater gate, everyone else was wearing oxygen tanks.

Except for the light sword.

‘Let’s just take a look. How do they attack without an oxygen tank?’

Anyway, if it’s the 4th floor, it’s an F-class gate.

If you’re an S-class hunter, it won’t be dangerous.

… Even an S-class hunter needs to breathe, so what on earth is the light sword thinking?

The moment I thought that.

The light sword began to swim forward quickly.

A sudden, impulsive action that is not discussed in advance.

Im Ha-rin tried to stop him in a hurry.

[Wait a minute! If you go alone like that, a trap might be triggered—]

[I’ll finish this quickly.]

He strengthened his body with magical powers and swam at lightning speed through the water.

Swinging a sword and slicing monsters is basic.

The attack ended without us even being able to stop it.

[A user of ‘Top – Republic of Korea – 2’ has conquered the 4th floor of the tower.]

[A clear reward is given to the character with the highest contribution.]

Naturally, the one with the highest contribution is the light sword.

We came out to the break room as it was.

The swordsman was out of breath.

“Whew… Swinging a sword underwater is quite a training exercise.”

“I don’t think other people will be able to train.”

Even though I was sarcastic, he didn’t seem to care.

“What does that have to do with me? I came because I heard there are new bells.”

“aha.”

“You just have to follow me. It’s not dangerous, so isn’t it beneficial for both of us?”

The logic of the light sword was invincible.

It’s like, ‘It’s because it’s there that it’s going to be cut,’ is that the logic?

These cases are relatively easy to handle.

If you collide directly, you’ll end up with a tail slap.

“Then would you like to try it too?”

“Sir!”

“…what?”

The atmosphere of the light sword changed completely.

There was a murderous look in the eyes that glared at me.

I guess you’ve had some experience with bears.

“I’ll give you three minutes. If you can make me incapacitated within that time, you can do whatever you want from now on. But if you can’t, then just do as I say. What do you think?”

“Ha, just a mere spearman… 3 minutes? 1 minute should be enough.”

“Then go ahead.”

I took out my water gun and aimed it at the light sword.

Gwanggeom also stood up from his seat and drew his sword.

Im Ha-rin came to me and tried to stop me, but—

“Harin, Arthur. This isn’t a fight you should be getting involved in.”

“Master… but if you get hurt… … .”

“That won’t happen. For now, let’s just trust Dalgu and wait.”

“… … .”

Thanks to Uncle Bongryong’s persuasion, Im Ha-rin also stepped down from her position.

The summoner was peacefully brushing the puppy’s fur.

“I’ll give you the first move. Try your best.”

“I am so grateful that I could cry. Then I will not decline.”

I’ll give you the first turn… .

It’s been a long time since I’ve been treated like a commoner like this, so my head is spinning.

-You bad person who cursed at the captain! I’m going to punish you!

-I can scold you instead!

‘It’s okay, guys.’

I calmly gathered my magic power into the window.

I am a C-class hunter with an S-class hunter’s sword.

To anyone who looked at it, the outcome was clear.

Judging solely by Hunter Rank.

Wedge!!

The water spear that left my hand rushed towards Gwanggeom.
