Hunter of the Perished World

[9] Hunter and Cat Thief (3)

Kuang!

It was a peculiar rumbling sound that terrified the door to the vault. Leona’s expression stiffens, and Gin’s movements stop.

Queek!

Kuuaak! Hiic! Queek!

Glug! Glug!

“Well, what the…”

“Shh, be quiet.”

Gene looks up at the swinging ceiling and lifts Leona over her shoulder. Leona notices, so she hands herself over to Gin to make sure she knows it’s not a bad time. Gene climbs the stairs slowly, killing the sound of his feet and breathing.

Hunters think.

Kung! Kung!

‘Pedestrian, bipedal. Large.’

Whoo-hoo!

‘Cry, biotype.’

Woojik! Woojik! Tsk, tsk.

Glug! Queek!

“Monster hunt.”

Gene clears his mind slowly as he ascends. There was a risk of building collapse, so we had to get out of the basement quickly, but Gene didn’t rush. Gene judges the invisible monster by sound alone.

‘A bipedestrian giant monster who eats corpse hunters…’ ‘

Gene did not go outside, but continued to walk to the rooftop of the building. One new darkness was impersonating, and turning on the lantern was suicide.

Monsters panic at the presence of predators, fleeing, and screaming as they are eaten. And then there’s another giant scream.

Queek!

‘It sounds completely different from what I just said. Two or more vocal cords, if any, are a foreign body.’

It means that something else was made mixed up, not having normal organs, but having random organs.

There are corpses and deaths here, and monsters feed on corpse hunters.

Hunters judge.

‘Maneater.’

A monster known to be created by rage at the fact that his death was tainted by corpse hunters. The user hunts and eats the corpse hunter, and its body grows stronger.

A collection of souls occurring where the origin and the principal float.

Maneaters, monsters that hunt monsters.

Depending on what the monster is, the target is different and the method of retaliation is different. At some point, Gene jumps to the roof without hesitation.

Gene was able to see the beast that was supposed to be six metres long over fifty meters shrugging its surroundings. It was the same with Leona.

“Mi, crazy…. What is that? ”

Leona stares at the horrifying creature before her eyes, contemplating. A creature that looks like a bunch of flesh-eating lumps of flesh is stretching across its body like tentacles with a bunch of shifty hair. And the tentacles were brutally placed in the three branches of their heads, catching the runaway corpse hunters.

It walks sideways, wielding a rope of woven body hair like a tentacle to eat the corpse hunters.

Sick! Sick!

Monsters turn into blood with a eerie sound. This monster can frighten or stun a person with its appearance.

Leona had never seen such a monster, and had no idea she would face such a huge monster. But Leona wasn’t afraid.

“You look like shit. ”

It was a sign of discomfort, but it was far from terror. Leona lets out a sudden hiss, as if she were displaying more unpleasantness than fear.

“Like you said, we’re lucky. ”

“Lucky? That’s what he’s talking about. ”

I’m not afraid, but I’m not unconscious, so Leona looks at the camp like she’s talking nonsense.

Gene smiles in relief.

“That’ll drive all the dead hunters around. ”

“What?”

Like I said.

Hunters survive knowing monsters.

“Humans have low priorities with that monster. Maybe they’ll attack us after they’ve cleared out all the other dead hunters around. ”

So we’re safe for now.

Once and for all.

The world is wild, and humans are not the pinnacle of the food chain. That’s why monsters fight amongst themselves and eat amongst themselves.

Monsters include Humans, not only Humans, but also monsters that are not interested in Humans.

Mwah!

Leona and Jean watched as the ruined Men of Letters roamed the city and devoured the corpse hunters. The geckos, ghouls, and venomous dogs were all being snatched up and sucked into their jaws.

“Sir, since we said we were safe, we’re not safe after a while, right? ”

“That’s right.”

“Then I guess I should be bouncing. ”

Leona scowls, and Gene shakes his head.

“What do you think will happen if that thing eats a lot of monsters? ”

“…… You must be full, right? ”

Jean almost burst out of laughter on that simple and intuitive thought, but she bit her lip slightly because she couldn’t put a giant monster in front of her. However, Gene seemed quite amused, with the exception of almost bursting laughter.

Leona can’t smile at a monster like that.

“By the way, does that monster look pretty to you? What are you so broken up about? ”

Gene was once again absurd from the expression of splitting, but he was quite mature in some parts because of his tone of speech.

Obviously, Gene was satisfied with the Maneater’s gaze.

“I’m glad you’re hunting for me, kindly. “

“What are you talking about? ”

“Monsters who eat a lot of monsters vomit out chips of the monsters they eat. ”

Leona was able to figure out exactly what it meant. And his face rotted even more.

“W, now…. You want to hunt that thing?”

The Maneater hunts for him, and Jean hunts the Maneater to take the fishery.

Leona saw that it was a hunt, and it didn’t matter, but it was enough to sweat for development right away. However, Gene looks at Leona to see if she doesn’t understand that attitude.

“Is it weird for a hunter to hunt? ”

Actually, there’s no reason to be weird. Hunters hunt, don’t they? They do business.

You’re right, but Leona nods loudly.

“Yes.”

and adds.

“That’s fucking weird. ”

Even hunters hunt things like that.

The man who wandered around the poem did not have a sleek body, but the tentacles were sleek. The tentacles stretch out like snakes and fill their mouths.

Bloop-oop! Bloop-oop!

Leona says with a cold sweat.

“But you know what? I think that one’s getting bigger. Is that because you feel bad? ”

“I saw it right. That’s an overall increase of about 30 centimeters. ”

“Can I run alone? ”

“Then 500 chips will remain with me. I’m the only one who has more money to pay than the original quest. If you want to go, go.”

“Hey mister, aren’t you supposed to do what the client says? ”

“I’m under no obligation to follow your orders since I didn’t sign the escort contract. ”

“I don’t know what the order is, but you’re gonna do whatever it takes, right? ”

“I’m glad I got it fast. ”

“Damn…. ”

Leona was forced to go and stay by Gin’s side. No matter how brave the kid is, it’s hard to break into this monster field by yourself. It’s crazy to avoid danger and face greater danger.

Of course, I don’t know what’s more dangerous now, but Leona is a little more attracted to this seemingly insane hunter’s unsubstantiated confidence. Being a wanderer in the wilderness is just like Leonardo Gene. And so far, saving a girl’s life is not a crotch or a ball.

The intuition and the courage to choose it have kept Leona alive. Leona’s gut was telling me to stay with this freak.

In a frenzied predation, Jean and Leona weren’t even bothered.

‘That’s enough.’

Gene pulls out a phantom lantern the size of a pinkie from the corner of his coat. It was a lantern small enough to be considered an ampoule, and instead of a flame, there were some spikes in the crystal glass.

Blood trail?

Leona tilts her head toward it, but she doesn’t know exactly what it is. However, after seeing the small miracle, Leona had to open her eyes in a circle.

Wooooo

Lantern begins to let go of the darkness with resonance, and around Lantern lies a space the size of a basketball. It’s not dark, to be exact.

It was a small sphere that would look like this if the night sky were to be pulled out in a ball shape. Inside, there were small stars and planets, rich night skies, as if they had summoned a small universe.

Gene courageously tucks his hand inside and pulls something out. Leona forgot to speak while watching the supernatural phenomenon unfolding before her eyes.

Su-wook!

With a strange sound, Gene pulled it out of that tiny universe with a giant gun and a few bullets.

“Well, what the… This?”

“Use Amulets to borrow a portion of Void.”

“… What are you talking about?”

“Think of it as a bag you don’t have to carry. I don’t have enough space….”

Gene inspected the ammo from the sniper rifle and checked the condition of the equipment, including looking at the scope.

Heave-ho!

“Enough for a couple of guns.”

As Gene turns off his lantern, the void closes as well. The official name is’ blank ‘, a small amulet made of alien blood. Amulets used by Demon Hunters summon the blood power of sacrifices. It is not a terrible and evil power that the monster used, but it can only work a very small miracle, but it is useful depending on how it is used.

The power of an amulet is usually so weak that it can’t be used to kill someone, but Gene puts things that are too big or heavy to carry around in a part of the void and takes them out whenever necessary.

In fact, the most difficult thing for a wanderer is the unbearable burden tied to his back rather than a monster.

This emptying machine, which serves as a portable storage unit, was the most frequently used amulet, though not the most powerful amulet by Jin, and Gene was called a ‘bag’ instead of an emptying machine.

Leona is stunned by the miracle in front of her eyes. But what Leona said was pretty realistic.

“This should be really convenient….”

Leona glares at her eyes, recalling moments she had to throw away when she couldn’t carry it. Most importantly, Leona has never seen a gun before, so she can’t even sense what that huge lump of iron is.

Mwah!

Nevertheless, the man-eater was still preying, and Gene finished a quick gun check. In hunting, value is important, apart from defeating the enemy.

Using 30 chips to catch a monster with 10 chips is more than just hunting.

It’s the same as before that you have to be the most efficient at a low cost. So Gene didn’t pull out the biggest caliber gun he had.

Gene now took out a custom model of Lemington M700 using .308 Winchester, or 7.62 mm ammunition. Consistent management and exchange of parts kept the sniper rifle looking neat, even if it wasn’t new.

A tram gun is useless when you leave the efficiency and destructiveness of a sniper rifle to catch monsters that size.

But Gene now has two bullets in his rifle. The distance to the monster is roughly 300 meters, and Gene doesn’t even need this distance scope. The target has a good aim, but the target can be roughly shot because it is large.

But Jean carefully took her eyes to Rifle’s scope.

Queek!

Then they fire at one of the three branches.

Taang!

“Ugh! What, what! ”

Leona, who first saw the gun, jumps up and down in a sudden burst of blue flash and thunder. But something even more shocking happened right in front of me.

Boom!

One of the goblins bursts out in fear of the gunpowder hitting the maneater. It was an unbelievable explosive force caused by a single bullet. Even mortar cannons were just right.

Filled with 7.62 mm of blue chip powder, this bullet explodes once more as it strikes the enemy.

In other words, a regular rifle bullet, but the moment it hits the enemy, it redistributes like a shotgun bullet and causes a wide range of explosions.

A miniature tram gun, or a missile. That was the identity of the bullet Gene just used.
