The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 79
Only Krnovel
Chapter 079
Considering Fenrir’s testimony that the person who infected him was an elf, I thought that one of the elf elders was the culprit who infected Fenrir.
Because the elder was the only one who had the power and authority, and even the natural status, to enter and return from an underground cave.
So I thought that either the dark elf elder Elvrida or the elf elder Shirai would be the culprit.
“I never thought you two would have other thoughts.”
Lin’s sharp blue blade was touching Elbrida’s neck.
“Let go of this! Guardian captain! “You don’t know what you’re doing!”
“Please remain still, Elder.”
“Guardian Captain! You can’t trust me now… .”
“You clearly showed hostility toward that wolf. “You probably don’t know what happens when it dies, right?”
“Does the Guardian Captain not know what that monster did to us?”
Lin continued speaking while pointing the knife at Elbrida’s neck.
“I know. But if he dies, our entire village will definitely be ruined.”
“Guardian leader, do you believe what humans say?”
“yes. At least the author can be trusted. “Because I saw him kill the god of this world.”
“You are being deceived!”
Lin was an unexpected helper.
When I told Sooyeon Lee to stop him, I didn’t expect any help from her.
I thought Lee Su-yeon alone would be enough.
‘Did you help with the idea of protecting the village?’
Whatever it was, it was true that I was thankful.
Monos had suppressed Shirai.
“Big, big! Yes, Apostle… .”
“If you move one more step, your head will fly off.”
The thread extending from her hand tightly bound the elf elder’s neck and limbs.
“Don’t do this. We stand for our forests… .”
“no. You know that too, right? “What happens if you kill Fenrir?”
“If you don’t kill me… “We die.”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”

[Recorder: Witness to the myth, Suyeon Lee]
While Suyeon Lee was hiding, she saw a message in the record space that a new record had been set.
‘Hero level.’
A level of story that did not exist before was added.
The previous two stories were at the mythical level, but this one is also at the heroic level.
What’s the difference?
‘I’ll ask after I’ve sorted it out.’
After clearing the system, I approached the two elders.
“You moved as soon as you removed Gleipnir that bound Fenrir. I guess the reason for killing this guy was to tell the gods? He himself cut his cord and killed Fenrir as he tried to escape.”
Both elders fell silent.
The fact doesn’t go away just because you don’t talk about it.
The intention is obvious.
I looked at them closely.
On the outside, there are no traces of Decay being parasitic.
All of those who were parasitized by DK in their past lives had parts of their bodies rotting away, becoming damaged and unable to function properly.
‘Aren’t you parasitized by that guy?’
Was my guess wrong?
I took one step closer.
The blood vessels at the nape of the neck, which are hidden by clothing, are more prominent.
A subtle difference that is not visible from a distance, but can only be felt if you look closely at the change.
I pulled out my dragon slayer and cut off the collar covering Shirai’s neck.
“stop… .”
Ji profit!
I swung my sword before the guy could stop me.
“Don’t a human dare be rude to an elf!”
The collar split and the traces of gisaeng that had been forcibly hidden were revealed.
Starting from the left side of my chest, I could see the blood vessels were horribly swollen.
It didn’t look normal at all.
It was still writhing under my skin, as if there were bugs inside.
“Well, that… .”
“Shirai-sama really… .”
“no! This is to heal the wounds… .”
The elves and dark elves looked at Shirai in astonishment.
Shirai raised the blood in his neck and shouted no, but there was no way his words could be persuasive when there was already undeniable evidence.
“There is clear evidence.”
“Will you believe what humans say? Or will you trust me, the elder!”
Monos countered his words.
“Elder, do you think that’s normal?”
“Monos! Monos, you are being deceived too!”
“no. I believe what I see with my own eyes. “I also know that these ugly veins on the elder’s body are by no means ordinary.”
The elves’ excitement grew even louder at her words.
That would never be what the elders wanted.
“Then let’s see why Elbrida made that choice, right?”
“… Do you think this is correct? Does it make sense to tie up an elder who is the representative of the elves in the elf land?”
Elbrida also gritted her teeth and shouted.
Either way, I split his collar in the same way.
Although it was less than Shirai’s, there was definitely a mutation in his body.
“The same phenomenon was discovered by the two elders who attempted to kill Fenrir. How do you plan to explain it?”
Even at this moment, the blood vessels were trembling.
It was then.
Quang!
“Aaaah!”
Elbrida shook off Rin’s sword that was pointed at her neck and rushed towards me.
Its body grew several times thicker, centered around grotesquely twisted blood vessels.
“You’re finally showing your true colors.”
In a situation where there was already evidence, there were few options they could make.
“Kill Fenrir. “The story will be told later.”
At Elbrida’s words, Shirai also changed her form.
His body became thicker and his veins became more bulging.
The elf’s delicate physique had completely disappeared and the two elders, who had transformed into those of an ogre, glared at us.
‘It wasn’t alive to begin with.’
The elf elders had already died long before Fenrir was infected.
Even my brain was infected with Decay’s spores and I became its host.
Considering that Shirai’s body has become even more hideously distorted, the origin of all infections must be the author.
By tricking and infecting Elbrida, he also turned her into a host to spread Decay.
It was a pity.
“Everyone, fire back at the two elders, no, against the traitor!”
But it wasn’t just those two who changed.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Save me… .”
“Yes, why you?”
Among the group of elves who followed along, there were some who changed into a form similar to them.
‘Out of seventy elves, twenty have mutated…’ .’
There are more than I thought.
I fixed Dragon Slayer.
“We will subdue them all.”
“All right.”
“yes.”
After fixing my sword, I spoke to the giant dragon that was still hiding in Lee Su-yeon’s backpack.
“Jormungand.”
-I get it.
The Jormungand that popped out of the backpack grew in size.
Wood clatter!
Before, I didn’t necessarily reveal all of its power.
There was no need for that, and since I had just killed Hephaestus, I wanted to hide my identity and location as much as possible.
But now it was different.
I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t have to hide myself.
If I was going to hide it further, I wouldn’t have come forward in front of Athena.
“Yo, Jormun…” Gand?”
“Since when are giant dragons… ?”
The two elders’ eyes widened.
-You will have to pay the full price for trying to kill my brother.
Jormungand crushed the elves with his tail.
Okay!
These are elves who were parasitized by Decay, who could not even properly awaken.
Even if Decay was properly awakened, he would not be able to avoid a struggle against Jormungand, who was called a spirit creature and was once treated on the same level as a god.
There was no way he could be my opponent in his current state.
The elf parasites that were crushed by him died without even being able to scream.
I cut down with my sword the elders who were looking at Jormungand with shocked faces.
“Where are you looking?”
Cough!
The elders who blocked my sword with incredible speed glared at me and gritted their teeth.
“dare!”
“It’s because of you!”
The two, who seemed like different personalities just a moment ago, spoke to me one after another as if they had become one.
“If only it weren’t for you!”
“We would have taken root here!”
“Kill you!”
“We will create our own land!”
He was talking about DK as if he were himself, not an object of worship.
“Okay!”
“Time is on our side!”
[Treat the remnants of the spores of decay, the disease of decay, to the root.]
[Reward: Skill grade increase, history book level up]
As soon as their voices ended, a new window appeared.
‘Is this an unexpected quest?’
i get it.
The spores I discovered were merely vectors.
If they had just removed the spores and left, those two would have eventually created new spores and brought about the disaster of Decay again.
“Noisy.”
Both the system and those elves were noisy.
They were people I would kill even if it wasn’t a quest.
There is no need to give us more time to talk.
Grumble!
[The Eye of Horus recommends magic.]
[Level 3 magic is recommended.]
[Level 3 Flame Magic: Flame Buster. It creates a huge flame that can even melt rocks.]
Flames rose where the eyes of Horus looked.
“Wow!”
The two elves were startled and ran away.
The reason for such excessive avoidance was due to the spore’s habit of being afraid of fire.
Unless it was completed, it was particularly weak to fire.
They used the fear embedded in their genes to put pressure on them.
swinging a hammer
Quaaaang!
“Keuuuuu!”
Shooting fire.
Grumble!
“What a damn human being!”
This time I stabbed with my sword.
Let’s go!
Fire again.
“Kaaaaak!”
I put pressure on the two elders without stopping.
I blocked the blow aimed at me with the protection of the ocean current and counterattacked with my sword.
Quaaaang!
Shirai and Elbrida twisted their hideous bodies to attack me in order to somehow subdue me.
Grumble!
Their movements stopped for a moment due to the rising flames.
Suddenly.
Thanks to that, I was able to cut down much faster than them.
The huge bodies of the two elves were torn apart with the sword.
“Wow… .”
“iced coffee… .”
The bodies of the two elders split diagonally and fell to the floor.
Not a single drop of blood fell from the bodies of those who fell to the floor.
“After all, he was already dead.”
A foul odor emanated from the corpse.
It had a terrible smell, as if it had been rotting for several years.
Because they were like corpses that had rotted inside for a long time.
just.
He was clinging to life due to the curse of the god of this world.
Even some of the elves who had been suspicious until the very end, seeing the bodies of the parasitized people rotting from the inside, understood the situation.
The elders really betrayed the forest.
However, even though I killed the enemy, I did not feel completely at ease.
‘DK’s parasitic method is different from what I knew.’
This is because I only relied on memories from my past life.
All of the DK parasites I had seen in my past life had horrible appearances, with their entire bodies rotting away.
Of course, I thought it would be noticeable on the outside.
But now it’s rotten from the inside out, so there’s no way to know.
no. Maybe I was wrong.
The reason why the dark elves of the polluted Elfheim were wandering around rotten and rotten was not because Decay was parasitic on them.
Decay just encroached on that world.
We just participated in the process of the entire world rotting away.
[The remnants of the spores of the disease of decay, Decay, have been treated to the root.]
[As a reward, the skill level of ‘Curse of Corruption’ increases.]
[Curse of Corruption – Grade A]
[Description: The power of disease that forcibly rots the opponent]
[Effect: Can cause nearby targets within 5 meters to rot.]
[By treating the last root of Decay, future disasters have been completely prevented.]
[History Book Lv. 23]
A message saying that Decay was completely blocked also appeared, indicating that everything was over.
“Whoa.”
As if they had been waiting, the elves who had been watching the summoned Jormungand subdue the parasites looked at us blankly.
Except for Monos, who already knew of the existence of Jormungand.
“All the elders are dead, what are we going to do?”
There is no answer.
“What are you going to do?”
“… We need to elect a new person. “Until now, the eldest person has been the elder, so we need to elect a new elder in the same way.”
Lin was the first to respond to me.
She was still in shock.
The good news is that I was less shocked than the other elves, and I think I came to my senses.
Other than her, the other elves still couldn’t get over their shock.
Elves are a race with strong pride and pride.
He still seemed unable to believe that his own people had been infected by an alien god and had tried to ruin the forest themselves.
Guys, you’re going to have a hard time for a while.
I left them behind and approached Fenrir, who had almost collapsed.
He removed the Gleipnir stuck to his wound.
When I removed Gleipnir, which was covered in blood, fluid, and rotten pus, I could see the terrible wound.
“We will retrieve this. “There’s no disagreement, right?”
“of course.”
This time too, Lin answered.
The elves expressed their agreement in silence, and the dark elves nodded in unison.
That’s good.
