The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 46



Only Krnovel

Episode 046

[History Book Lv. Reached 15.]

[One available skill slot is added.]

[Lv. When you reach 25, 1 slot is added.]

Additional skill slots.

My eyes lit up and I checked the skills I currently had.

[Nine-Headed Viper – Grade A]

[Effect: Increases resistance to poison. The probability of becoming addicted is greatly reduced.]

[Germanic Hero – Class A]

[Skill: Hrunting]

[Description 1: Like a famous sword that becomes stronger the more it drinks blood, it becomes stronger as it kills enemies.]

[Explanation 2: The more you kill strong enemies, the stronger you become.]

[Effect: The stronger you become, the higher the chance of obtaining ‘Status Ailment: Berserker’.]

[Status Abnormality: Berserker – Aggressiveness increases. Attack power△, Defense power▽]

[As the Berserker level increases, he becomes more crazy about battle.]

[Song of the Nibelung – Grade A]

[Skill: Dragon Grab]

[Effect: When cast, the opponent is pulled closer with the power of a dragon.]

[Volcanic Colossus – SS Grade]

[Skill: Earth Explosion]

[Description: The power of Hephaestus, the greatest craftsman, god of volcanoes, and lava itself, explodes as it splits the ground.]

[The number of uses per day is 2 times.]

[It has been strengthened by the hammer of Hephaestus.]

The four skills I had sparkled and shined.

[Status Abnormality: Berserker – Level 4]

[Attack power increases during battle. There is a combat penalty when defending]

The berserker status abnormality that occurred as a side effect of my Hrunting.

A new skill, Berserk, developed as a result of rising to level 4.

[Berserk – Class B]

[Effect 1: Doubles all attack power, but makes it impossible to distinguish between allies and enemies (duration: 5 minutes)]

[Effect 2: Becomes helpless for 10 minutes after use.]

[Skill slot is not used.]

The classification is Class B.

The effect of doubling attack power is great, but it is probably a B grade due to the serious side effect of losing one’s sanity.

Actually, just now, I almost lost my mind and became a berserker.

Nevertheless, Hrunting had quite an effect for an A-level skill.

A power that becomes stronger every time you kill an enemy.

Buffs obtained by killing gods and heroes.

It was true that Hrunting’s attack power increase effect was very effective in tearing Azur’s body apart.

however.

‘If the berserker goes up just one level, it can’t be stopped.’

Instead of becoming stronger in combat, it becomes a berserk that cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

The sensation of using widescreen was clear.

Everything around me seemed like a monster, and a cold feeling surrounded me with the urge to kill them.

It was an impulse that was extremely difficult to resist.

If it continues like that… .

‘no way.’

It was difficult to survive, let alone seek revenge.

I saw two skills that I haven’t slotted yet.

[Boiling Lava – S Class]

[Skill: Summon Lava Golem]

[Description: By being able to use the power of Igni, the lava itself, you can control Igni’s clone.]

[The level of the lava golem is the same as the level of the history book.]

[History Book Lv. 15]

[Ocean Predator – S Class]

[Skill: Protection of the ocean current]

[Effect: Spews an ocean current and creates a strong shield that protects a 3m radius.]

It says that Arrogant Courage and Mother’s Love are only registered in the Encyclopedia, and can no longer be registered as skills.

‘The remaining two skills are also S-level.’

In particular, the lava golem could be useful at any time due to the additional effect of the earth explosion.

These were all skills that would not be a waste of time to delete Hrunting.

After thinking for a while, I made a decision.

‘Eliminate Hrunting and register the protection of the ocean current and the lava golem.’

[Hrunting’s attack power increase effect disappears.]

[Status abnormality: The berserker does not disappear.]

‘I’m glad it happened.’

Hrunting, which forcibly grants the berserker status, was dangerous, but the berserker status ailment and berserk still remained, so there was nothing bad about it.

Rather, since I obtained a hidden card that increased the Berserker’s attack power and doubled the attack power, it was a huge deal. Of course, you need to be careful when using it.

The skills I could now use were 2 A-grade, 2 S-grade, and 1 SS-grade.

Even one S+ level weapon skill on the Dragon Slayer.

[Dragon Slayer – S+ grade]

[Description: Eitri’s masterpiece created by dwarves using dragon by-products]

[Effect: Dragon Fear can be used once a day]

I got really strong.

If you just raise your history book level a little more, you will be able to deal with gods of an ambiguous level on your own.

Of course, since gods have apostles and guild members led by them, it will still be difficult to deal with them alone… .

‘You’re not alone anymore.’

I saw Jormungand.

He will soon become the best familiar I can utilize.

It was then.

“Ah, savior… .”

A group of surviving mermaids came rushing in.

When they saw Azur dead and Jormungand and I who killed him, they knelt down.

They all lay down on the dry floor and bowed their heads to me.

“The lowly creatures see their savior.”

Starting with Lucion, the King Mermaid, all the Mermaids and Nagas bowed to me.

“Meet my savior!”

When I saw the fishmen squeezing out their voices, I shook my head.

“… “I am not a savior.”

I didn’t want to be someone’s savior.

That moment.

Fuuuut!!!

Azure, no, water gushes out from the pores of the dead whale carcass.

The water that spewed out from the gigantic body rose high into the sky and poured down like rain everywhere.

Rain poured down on the land that was completely dry like a desert, and clouds were formed.

“It’s water… .”

“It’s water! “It’s water!”

“The Savior drove away the disaster and finally gave us life!”

Some of the water that Azur stole from this world is discharged through the pores.

It wasn’t even me who made it.

It wasn’t even for this world.

I just killed an enemy that would threaten our world in the future.

“Ah, savior… . Please forgive us sinners who have violated our rites by not recognizing you who came to show us grace.”

“Please forgive me.”

The surviving mermaids repeatedly claimed me as their savior.

That was uncomfortable.

Because they resembled the people I hated the most.

god.

Those who deceived people by deceiving themselves as saviors and tried to use them to the end.

Now, isn’t this exactly what the gods I hated do?

“Please let the lowly people who have benefited from you know how valuable you are.”

“I said I am not your savior.”

“Why not? We killed the disaster that was destroying our world, and… “He gave us new life.”

Their king, Lucion, says:

Meanwhile, the rain continued to pour.

Did it rain?

The pouring rain was bitter.

The life that Azur squeezed out of this world continues to pour out.

-Are you planning not to tell me? It would be quite helpful to become their savior.

Jormungand said to me:

It’s helpful.

“Not required. I am not thirsty for faith like you or other gods. “There is no need.”

-is it?

Jormungand looked at me closely.

-That’s strange… . But if you are, that’s probably it.

But what was important now was not the conversation I was having with him.

We attacked the Abyss, and now we had to close the Abyss, which was connected to a dimension that would threaten our world.

“Lucion.”

“Yes, Savior.”

“As I said before, I am not your savior.”

I lifted up Lucion, who was still kneeling in front of me, by his shoulders.

As I emphasized, I am not their savior.

We do not expect religious faith from them like we do from God.

But I still needed them.

So, I’ll take advantage of their gratitude a little.

“I came because I needed something.”

My eyes fell on the ornate trident held by Lucion.

Trident of the Fallen Sea King.

An S-class weapon and the key to closing the Abyss.

In my previous life, I got it by killing Lucion, but now there is no need for that.

“I need that window.”

“… “Do you mean my window?”

“yes. “I came to close the unstable Abyss that connects your world and our world.”

I know how much Lucion values ​​this spear.

I tried, but I won’t give it up easily.

I will be willing to fight if necessary.

okay.

So, don’t necessarily worship it, but rather hate it… .

“If you want it, Savior, I will give it as much as you want. “Take it.”

“… … .”

The answer I got back was different from what I expected.

“Is that okay?”

“of course. “The Savior brought us back from the almost fall.”

Lucion, drenched in rain, clucked the gills on his neck and laughed.

He held out his spear at me without hesitation.

I was given the window.

[Sea King’s Trident – SS]

[Description: The trident of Lucion, the Sea King who rules the deep-sea kingdom of Europa. It contains the King of the Sea’s gratitude to the ‘unknown savior’ who saved the sea again]

[Effect 1: You can breathe underwater just by holding it.]

[Effect 2: Each time you use a water-related skill, it is strengthened by 150%.]

[Effect 3: It becomes easier to gain trust from the fishmen.]

wait for a sec.

‘The effect has changed.’

The name of the item I clearly knew was ‘Trident of the Fallen Sea King’.

The grade was only S grade.

But SS level?

“I will not forget the grace given by our saviors.”

Lucion and the fishmen bowed their heads to me.

Meanwhile, the rain continued to pour, and before we knew it, it was up to our knees.

-I guess I’ll have to leave now. It looks like it’s going to fill up all the dried up seas.

“That’s right.”

I picked up my spear and headed towards the Abyss we had penetrated.

A voice was heard from behind.

“Long live the Savior!”

“The grace of the nameless savior is infinite!”

“For the Undercity! For Europa!”

* * *

Dark underground cave.

A man’s cries echoed in a humid cave with water dripping from the ceiling.

“Say, please save me! “I don’t want to be a doll!”

“A doll. “You will become a helper for the great God who will descend in the future.”

“Ugh, wow! help me!”

A masked man laughed in a low voice in front of a crying man wrapped in rope.

There was a tiny earthworm wiggling in his hand.

Its mouth, which looked like a smaller version of the whale roundworm attached to Azur, the god of the other world, was full of sharp teeth.

“Please…” .”

“If anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m eating you. Don’t keep acting like that. “I might kill you.”

The man wrapped around the rope, Choi Hyeong looked behind the masked man.

The men standing behind him with blank faces looked blank, as if they were showing off their grotesquely bulging muscles.

Humans poisoned by roundworms, the infective insect of apostates.

No, these are things that can no longer be called human.

Choi Hyung knew it because he was also an apostate.

Why did they become like that?

“Oh, that one? Those are misfits. Should we say that he is unqualified because of bad luck? But don’t worry. “You might win, right?”

misfit. Or an ineligible person.

Those roundworms implanted in apostates were a blessing from the gods of the other world that made those implanted stronger.

And it is said that those who do not properly accept God’s blessings will have their brains eaten by those roundworms.

The ego disappears and you become a piece of meat that only listens to the orders of the roundworm master.

However, as the ego disappears, physical strength becomes stronger.

It is said that unqualified people are always used in missions that require the use of force.

But Choi Hyung never wanted to become those guys.

He himself is an apostate, but those… .

Because they are not human in the first place.

“The pain is temporary. Soon, the joy that God will give you will dominate you.”

The masked man chuckled and placed a roundworm in Choi Hyeong’s eyes.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”

The roundworm that had been wriggling above his eye entered the brain through the gap between the pupil and the eyelid.

“Keuuuuu!”

I can feel the roundworm squirming and settling in my brain.

It squeezed my brain and gave me an unknown sensation.

A sensation I have never felt before in my life.

As the roundworm began to exert its strength, I felt my senses gradually becoming more sensitive.

Even in the dark, the view was clear, and even the sound of falling water could be heard clearly.

Even the sound of the wind blowing outside that cave.

There was a world like this.

I felt that my life up until now had been so narrow and dark.

“how is it? “Can you feel it now?”

The masked man’s voice is clear.

I see something different.

Mana flowing in the air.

Blue, red, ultramarine… .

“It’s really beautiful.”

Something I’ve never felt before… .

“I’ve been in vain… .”

It was then.

“Whoop!”

It’s painful.

Scenes that seemed fantastic just moments ago begin to become distorted.

My stomach is confused.

“Ouch! Ouch! “Wooweeeek!”

Blood flowed from his nose as he coughed up what was inside.

“Ah, this is also an ineligible person.”

The moment Choi Hyung heard those words, he realized.

That this is my end.

“No, no! It can’t be! “I am, I am!!!”

I was chosen!

pop!

His head felt like it was going to explode, and his body sank.

Then his body began to twist and swell.

The parasitic roundworm changed the body of an unfit person into the best possible state for development.

The corner of the masked man’s mouth rose as he saw this.

The sight of an unqualified person being reborn has always excited him.

It was then.

“Come on, Elder! “It is said that the entire East Coast team that went out to break Azur’s seal was wiped out.”

The masked man looked at the guy who rushed over.

It got cold.

There is definitely someone who beats the candle like this.

‘I feel bad.’

He snapped his fingers and popped the head of the messenger who had offended him.

Flutter!

When he saw the messenger who had become a corpse, he belatedly clicked his tongue.

“Ah, I didn’t ask you what happened to Azur’s Abyss.”

Well, you’ll find out when you go.
