The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 6

Episode 006

Hydra was huge.

It was slightly taller than the height of the bus, and its curly head was well over 20 meters long.

-When I went, there was only one head left. I don’t know who did it, but it made me feel comfortable.

‘As expected, there is only one head.’

Hydra, which was supposed to have 9 constantly regenerating heads, had already lost 8 heads.

Its eyes were somewhat cloudy and its scales lacked luster.

It seemed clear that he was addicted to his own poison.

Still, just looking at it gave me a sense of intimidation.

The guy stuck out his tongue, as if he hadn’t found me yet.

‘As quickly as possible so as not to be caught.’

-There was a large wound at the intersection of the chin and torso. His own poison had seeped into it and he was dying. So he aimed there!

I threw the rope in Hydra’s blind spot.

The rope flew in a beautiful curve and tied exactly around the hydra’s snout.

And pull once.

Purr!

The hydra, whose snout was suddenly tied to a rope and panicked, raised its body and struggled.

It was a movement to somehow untie the rope, but it was tied properly and did not come off easily.

That’s when it raised its head and strained its mouth to cut the rope.

[Casts Courage of Arrogance.]

[Duration: 5 minutes.]

‘Now is the time to win.’

I used the skill and ran to the hydra.

The target is a wound between the chin and torso.

The method was simple.

Insert the sword as deeply as possible into that wound and cause a large wound.

I even used my arrogant courage to fuck just a little deeper and harder.

As I was aiming for the wound Hercules mentioned, I couldn’t help but curse.

‘This bastard, I knew it would be like this.’

A small gap is visible between one of the scales.

Did you say you were hurt when you saw that?

‘That’s disgusting.’

It was also expected that Hercules’ information would not be 100% accurate.

So, this situation was still within the expected range.

Moreover, the reverse is also a clear weakness.

Inside, not covered by thick scales, major blood vessels are gathered.

If you take advantage of that gap, you could easily kill him.

Phew!

The blade was stuck all the way into the wound.

Hehehe!

The Hydra screamed and struggled.

but.

‘It’s shallow.’

thud! Coo!

It tried to hit its body against the cave wall, as if swatting away a bug from its body.

At the same time, I pulled out my sword and threw myself to the side.

“shit.”

Was it because of the thick body?

I couldn’t feel the sensation of piercing my blood vessels.

“I guess I should go with the regular method.”

The good news is that

The Hydra was said to be quite addicted to its own poison.

‘Movement is slow.’

If everything had been perfect, I would have already been crushed and gone to the other world.

Sigh!

Eventually, the rope that tied its snout tore apart.

The hydra opened its mouth towards me.

“It stinks. “Close your mouth.”

The hydra’s venom melted the place where I was standing.

It was a terrible poison that even dissolved rocks into liquid.

However, the rope that had fallen in the same location as Dokdo, where even the rocks had melted, could not be melted.

Instead, the oil melted and washed away the hydra’s poison.

‘good. Thanks to the oil, I can survive for once.’

But not twice.

So I had to cherish this one opportunity.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and waited for the next attack.

‘The moment when it opens its mouth to spit out venom.’

Close the distance with this guy.

The hydra opened its mouth once again.

I ran as if I was going to burrow inside.

The guy sprayed poison everywhere, as if he knew I would avoid it.

Hydra’s poison, which melts everything it touches, poured down like rain.

It is easy to predict the direction of travel of a venom shot in a straight line.

I’ve tried many times to predict and avoid movements.

However, there was no way to avoid this random rain of poison.

Chi profit.

The sound of poison melting stone could be clearly heard.

The hydra’s poison on my body and sword melted along with the oil.

I swung my sword and caught the pouring poison.

‘Not twice.’

Oil blocks poison only once.

I ran toward the hydra’s body through the pouring rain of poison.

Hold the sword.

I once again plunged my sword into the bloody wound.

“Let’s get this over with!”

Phew!

I felt like my hand was being caught, along with pain as if my muscles were being torn.

Hydra’s aorta near Yeoklin.

I cut off his aorta.

The poison, which the anti-inflammatory oil had not yet completely dissolved, seeped into the bright red skin.

Buuuuk!

When I pulled out the sword that pierced the blood vessel, red blood spurted out.

There was a large amount of blood as large as the body.

Hehehe!

Hydra struggled.

I ducked and waited leisurely until the thing was completely dead.

The hydra, which was desperately writhing, stopped moving only after about 4 hours.

There was no need to confirm his death.

[The nine-headed warrior has been killed.]

[As a reward, the characteristics of the ‘nine-headed viper’ will be engraved in history books.]

[Nine-Headed Serpent – ​​Grade A]

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

[The level of the history book increases.]

[The God Slayer becomes stronger depending on the number of history books recovered.]

[History Book Lv. 3]

[Created Encyclopedia – 3]

[Lv. When it reaches 5, the number of skills that can be used increases.]

After he died, the remains of his body disappeared and seeped into my body.

As I walked through the hydra’s cavity filled with poison and blood to where its head was, I found the hydra’s venom glands where the body had disappeared.

“There is no need to apply additional oil anymore.”

I registered the skill of nine poisonous snakes with a poison resistance effect and grabbed the hydra’s poison gland.

This is the reason I came here and killed the Hydra, the relic of Hercules.

[Consumption item: Hydra’s poison – SS grade]

[Description: It is the Hydra’s deadly poison that can kill even gods.]

It was the hydra’s deadly poison.

* * *

Hydra’s poison.

A poison that even God was afraid of, with such powerful power that it could not kill anything.

Hercules threatened the gods with arrows dipped in poison, and killed several of them.

And ironically, Hercules himself died from this poison.

It’s because of the poison that made him the strongest.

Therefore, it was the most necessary item for me as I had to kill God.

An object that can effectively kill gods in mythology.

“You probably didn’t enter the Abyss because you wanted to.”

In mythology, Hydra was one of the many ‘trials’ that Hercules faced.

But at the same time, it was a mythical being.

Young things.

Mythical beings other than heroes and gods.

Originally, Hydra was also a spirit creature that should have opposed the gods of the other world along with the gods. Even if they are enemies in mythology, they all join forces against the common enemy, the god of the other world.

But why was I trapped in a cave like this?

‘Someone intentionally hid it.’

It is said that Abyss in Gapyeong was established not long ago.

When the Abyss tears apart the dimension, various guilds dispatch guild members.

The dispatched guild members evacuate citizens, battle the pouring monsters, and seal the Abyss or minimize damage.

At the same time, the Abyss, which has lost most of its monsters, becomes their source of income and a hunting ground that helps them grow.

The guild confirmed business feasibility through the monsters that poured out of the Abyss and decided whether or not to attack.

If you have enough faith, faith, and items that can be obtained when sealing the Abyss, seal it.

If there are a lot of magic stones that can be obtained by maintaining the Abyss, then maintain it.

If there was no benefit to either side and the risk of the Abyss was low, they would simply ignore it and not attack it.

Several low-grade Abyss were left abandoned like that.

On the other hand, if Abyss had sufficient business potential, there were cases where it claimed ownership in strict places.

‘Unless it’s a threatening Abyss.’

However, I have never heard of a spirit creature setting up a nest in the Abyss.

Although they were villains only in mythology, they joined forces with the gods to deal with a common enemy, the gods of the other world.

There was absolutely no reason to antagonize or fight with each other.

Why was Hydra hiding and recovering within this Abyss?

Even the ownership of this Abyss was not vested in anyone.

Like the labyrinth of Herpa.

‘It means that there were no strong monsters or items with good business value in the Abyss.’

Abyss that doesn’t even receive anyone’s attention.

The being who created Hydra like that knew that this place would be neglected.

‘Someone took care of Hydra dying slowly and alone here.’

A being who subdued the Abyss in Gapyeong with Hydra used some method to wound Hydra and cause it to die from its own poison.

Without anyone knowing.

‘Could it be Hercules himself?’

no.

He wasn’t smart enough to come up with such a plan.

Moreover, even while bragging about his heroics, there was no mention of him poisoning Hydra.

Hercules also ‘accidentally’ discovered the weakened Hydra.

So Hercules is excluded as a suspect.

‘Who did that?’

There were too many suspects.

The gods in mythology were all cunning and dark-hearted.

And in reality, they were cunning and devious people.

So anyone could be a suspect.

The most likely suspect is Loki.

‘There’s no reason to do this.’

He had children with similar characteristics to Hydra.

Fenrir, Jormungand, and Hel.

The children who were detained by Odin and the gods, saying they would pose a threat of Ragnarok.

There was no reason to use one’s own hands to kill Hydra.

‘Odin? No, I’m not sure either.’

The question of who did it raises a question mark, but the answer to the question of why it was hidden was simple.

[Consumption item: Hydra’s poison – SS grade]

[Description: It is the Hydra’s deadly poison that can kill even gods.]

A poison that can kill even gods.

Since gods don’t want to die, they probably want to hide the weapons that can kill them.

Because they are amazing people who must overcome hardships and leap to a new level.

‘The weapon I was trying so hard to hide came into my hands.’

Not Hercules, but my hands.

This will be of great help to me in the future.

There were a lot of suspects that came to mind, but I didn’t need to look for them right away.

If there is a culprit.

‘It will come to me on its own.’

If you were trying to hide the hydra’s poison, you would also be able to recognize the hydra’s poison.

After thinking about it, I looked at the hydra’s poison glands.

“With this amount, I can extract 3 50ml bottles, no, I can squeeze out about 4 bottles.”

4 bottles were enough.

If the hydra was alive, it would constantly produce poison, but it is already dead.

Hydra’s venom was put into a small bottle the size of two fingers.

A small bottle made of glass with a special coating.

Three and a half bottles of 50ml.

SS grade item Hydra venom total 180ml.

It was the best harvest I got today.

The Abyss must have recognized Hydra as the boss, and when the relic was recovered, it began to be sealed.

Could it be because the Abyss was recently created?

The Abyss disappeared, but it didn’t drop me in a random place nearby.

When I returned to Nami Island, I packed my bags.

“I don’t know who hid it… .”

I’m thankful.

Thanks to this, I obtained Hydra’s venom from the beginning.

This hydra’s venom is the beginning.

This is a time when there are many gods who have not yet found their sacred relics.

Even Hephaestus is unable to find the lava-infested hammer, so he is exploring numerous Abyss.

That’s why I’m obsessed with conquering the Gragas Abyss.

I heard a rumor that there was a relic of Hephaestus there.

A god that does not yet hold a sacred object is half-formed.

To compare it to a game, it’s a half-pun without a dedicated weapon.

‘If only I had those relics.’

God will not be able to show his strength, and I will become stronger with the power of the relic.

Targeting weakened opponents is my specialty.

‘Or you can use the information that you know about the holy relic to lure them in.’

In this way, the advantage of information can be of great benefit.

It was necessary to kill as many of them as possible while they were not yet able to demonstrate their 100% power.

So, set your next goal as quickly as possible.

‘I’ve definitely decided on my next goal.’

But now all I have is the hydra’s venom.

Ordinary weapons cannot withstand the poison and melt.

Even if you apply preventive oil, it only lasts for a short time.

‘There is a generous amount of poison, but if it cannot be recycled, it will quickly run out.’

So it was difficult.

That’s why weapons were needed.

A weapon strong enough to withstand the power of Hydra, even if it contains its poison.

There are two ways to obtain such a weapon at this point.

The first is to obtain hidden pieces like this Hydra Dog.

Even if you took the weapons used by gods and heroes, there were many things that could be useful.

But the risk of doing this was too great.

‘I felt it through this strategy.’

You need a reliable weapon to help you attack.

The same weapon as the blacksmith’s fury that killed Peripetes.

So hold off until you get the equipment.

Because you need equipment to get equipment.

In that case, the only thing left is the second method.

That’s right.

‘Dwarf.’

A born blacksmith.

If they come together, they are the best weapon craftsmen whose skills can rival even that of the god Hephaestus.

Not only was he cursed by the gods, he was also used by them, so he received equipment from those who were not on good terms with the gods.

That was the second method.

As long as you can get the weapon from them, you don’t have to worry about it being dissolved by the hydra’s poison.

The problem is that they are very stubborn about their equipment, so it was quite difficult to get weapons from them.

Unless he could prove that he was a human worthy of using dwarven equipment, he would not hand over his weapons.

However, as long as they are recognized, they are willing to provide the best weapons with their craftsmanship.

Besides, I already have the best ingredients.

An ink iron that grows only in Jarnvidr, received from a giant stone statue in Herpa’s Labyrinth.

And the Hydra poison we just got.

If it is Jarnvidr’s ink season, it will be able to withstand the hydra’s poison.

And coincidentally, the dwarf I know would be there by now.

‘Let’s go to Gimpo.’

I walked to meet the dwarf.
