I Want To Live A Normal Life, But I’m An SSS-Class Hunter

▶ Episode 11. The Destruction Ending (5)  

The screams of reporters.

The sound of cracks in the wall.

A desperate conversation between those who are trying to save Lee Beomjin.

This space seemed to explode with a lot of noise.

Ninja listened to all the sounds like an SS Class hunter.

However, that was the only word that felt so strange. 

Only two syllables.

Dry and calm tone.

Nevertheless, Ninja had goosebumps all over his body.

It was because of his instinctive fear.

‘How?’

It was incomprehensible and unacceptable.

‘Let’s ignore it!’

Ninja followed the direction of the shuriken.

He felt like he had to check with both eyes to ensure that things that were not better than insects were dying. 

But.

‘There isn’t—?’

He definitely shot 20 shurikens, but he couldn’t see a single one.

It didn’t even hit the target and had disappeared before that.

‘Why? Why? Why?!’

Then he realized. 

The two syllables he heard earlier.

Disappearance.

‘Only, in that one word?!’

He was an SS Class hunter himself.

There are fewer than twenty people in the world who a special and valuable beings.

Lee Beomjin nearly killed him in the past, but he was a super-strong man with immense power now. 

So they couldn’t destroy the shuriken he had worked so hard for a long time.

‘No, it is possible, but—!’

It might have been possible if it had been a high-ranking hunter, like a wizard.

However, the wizard required a spell when using magic.

The stronger the magic, the longer the spell was required.

It took at least a few lines of spells to destroy a weapon with a lot of SS Class Hunter’s power. 

But there were only two syllables that just rang out. 

‘How?! Who did it?!’

Ninja soon knew the answer.

A 19-year-old girl who just became a hunter yesterday.

Most Department of Ability employees sat next to Lee Beomjin and desperately tried to save him.

The girl was the only one standing tall.

Is it to protect Lee Beomjin, like a shield? 

The girl turned her head to look at Lee Beomjin, surrounded by people, and then stared at Ninja again.

The childish look makes her look at least 4 years younger than 19 years old.

And the clear, small face was now expressionless.

‘Are you afraid of this situation? Are you crazy enough to be surprised?’

No, it wasn’t like that.

The girl’s eyes didn’t move at all.

Then her eyes meet Ninja.

‘….!’

Ninja looked through the girl’s eyes.

She’s capable of destroying the world. 

She’s capable of tearing apart all living things into cells.

She’s capable of causing terrible pain that no one can overcome.

Such overwhelming power.

It existed within the girl.

‘What the hell is this? Are you human?’

No matter how strong Hunter was, they were still a human. 

But this girl.

‘You can’t be human.’

It was impossible. 

‘What is it—?’

The strongest opponent the ninja has ever faced was the American SSS Class, Cherokee.

Cherokee was the secretary-general of the World Hunter Union, and last year he visited Ninja, who had tried to kill Lee Beomjin and beat him to death.

– If you touch my flower again, then I’ll make you beg me to kill you!

He didn’t listen to that warning and went to Korea again like this, but after being hit like that, Ninja actually didn’t want to go to Korea again. 

That’s why the SSS Class punching was fierce.

No, the existence of the SSS Class itself was terrifying.

Because it felt like he was dealing with a giant.

But even when he thought the other person was a giant, that person was still human.

But not this time.

The opponent was not human.

Such an overwhelming being could never have been a human.

“(…Save me…)” 

Ninja didn’t notice until he heard it.

About what he said. That the interpreter artifact only works for him to understand Korean, so he didn’t even think about the fact that the girl couldn’t understand what he was saying. 

He didn’t even know he would beg and humiliate himself in front of her.

Immediately after making eye contact with the girl, Ninja was thrown into a swamp of fear and suffocation.

As a hunter, no, but as a living creature, his instincts were screaming for his ears to burst. 

And he can’t get out of this swamp.

He’ll be killed like this. 

He won’t be able to live.

Nevertheless. 

“(Save me! Please!).”

He wants to live. 

He was a murderer who had ever brutally murdered many people.

He was a terrorist who tried to destroy the country by exploding new hunters.

Nevertheless, this word came out in the face of his complete death.

His trembling body moved instinctively, and he fell to his knees.

He shouted again. 

“(Please spare me!!!!!).”

【Silence】

“…!!!”

No more words came out.

He couldn’t even make a crackling sound; he couldn’t breathe.

Nevertheless, he continued to shout, even only with the shape of his mouth.

Please spare me. 

The girl opened her lips again with an expressionless face.

【Eliminate】

For a moment, Ninja was relieved.

Because she didn’t make his death happen.

But.

‘….’

He came to feel it vividly.

His soul that he didn’t even know existed.

It’s being erased from this world.

‘Please spare me! Spare me! Spare me!’

His soul looked desperately at the being who was erasing him.

But now the girl wasn’t even looking at him.

Since it was completely over, she turned her back to Lee Beomjin as if it was not worth seeing.

There was nothing but darkness after that.

***

It happened when I was young.

– You don’t have a father, right? Right? 

A kid asked me like this and made fun of me as a child without a father. 

It was unfair and upsetting, so I went home, cried, and argued with my mom. 

– Why don’t I have a father?

Mom didn’t say anything.

Instead, she looked as if there was a hole in her chest.

I was young, but I knew.

‘I touched Mom’s old wounds….’

So after that, I didn’t talk about my father anymore.

‘I don’t want to hurt Mom.’ 

And in fact, I rarely felt my Father’s absence.

Mom always put me first, even when she was so busy.

Still, I was a little envious of seeing my friends getting along with their fathers, but I didn’t really need him.

Then I remembered my past life.

After that, my father became the most negative thing in my life.

It was because of my father in my previous life.

‘That man was a filthy b*stard who only had disgust.’

I used to think that there was no such thing as a father in my life. 

“…He certainly comes to you after Nahyun-ie, avoid it. Hurry.” 

Ninjatō was stuck in his heart, but Hunter Lee Beomjin did not fall down immediately. 

He said so desperately to mom, the object he protected by blowing his whole body.

It’s a very small voice. 

But my mom and I listened.

“Minister!”

“Call the healer! right now!”

The department’s staff rushed to the scene immediately.

Some of them carefully laid Hunter Lee Beomjin on the floor as much as possible and hurriedly took several measures while checking his condition.

Others with combat skills, including Kim Changho, knew well that they couldn’t defeat an SS Class Hunter, but they desperately built a defensive line.

There were a few gaps, but I could see it. 

Hunter Lee Beomjin’s white shirt is dyed black instead of red.

His face was turning black, and his lips were already purple.

His eyes, which were always clear and strong, were also blurry.

The power of life was draining away at a rapid rate.

Death was near.

So I couldn’t think any further.

‘Unsealed.’

Before I could even blink my eyes, the power of my previous life returned to me.

I didn’t have time to think about how I felt about this enormous power I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Because the person who put the Ninjatō at Hunter Lee Beomjin took out a shuriken from his arms and threw it in all directions.

‘Something like that.’

It was nothing to me, and it didn’t work at all for my mom, who was receiving my protective magic.

But for other people, especially Hunter Lee Beomjin, it would be fatal.

Therefore. 

【Disappeared】 

I got rid of the shurikens.

【Silence】

I shut his mouth. 

【Eliminate】

I erased his soul from this world.

If I leave it the way it is, that guy will surely attack Hunter Lee Beomjin again. 

I didn’t even check the eliminated result. 

‘That guy is not even worth it.’

And above all, there was no time.

I turned around and looked at Hunter Lee Beomjin.

“Overseas hunters are attacking the dungeon, so I can’t contact them!”

“What about Hunter Yoon Seokae?”

“Here, she is here!” 

People near Hunter Lee Beomjin gave up their places right away when a hunter with movement skill hunter showed up. 

That person was a very famous and talented healer because I even knew that person’s face.

“When I count to three, take this out at the same time. One, two, three.”

As soon as Lee Geonhae, who was next to it, cleared the Ninjato, Healer, Yoon Seokae, placed her hands on Hunter Lee Beomjin’s chest. 

The divine white light from the hand emitted tremendously enough to fill the space.

It quickly turned the black blood back to red.

But.

“Why isn’t the wound recovering? It’s too slow!”

Yoon Seokae shouted.

Her face got very pale as if she was putting all of her power into healing.

I watched Kim Changho open and closed his lips.

Kim Changho seemed to know the reason.

“It can’t be like this! If his recovery is this bad, I can’t even do any healing no matter how hard I try!”

“What do you mean you can’t do it no matter how hard you try?”

Lee Geonhae shouted sharply.

Yoon Seokae didn’t answer.

She shut her mouth tightly and used more of her strength as if squeezing a dry towel.

Hunter Lee Beomjin’s wounds absorbed a brighter light than before.

But blood continued to flow.

It didn’t stop. 

“Why can’t you even stop bleeding? Are you really the best healer in Korea?”

“Hunter Yoon Seokae! Can’t you do it right?”

“What the hell are you doing?!”

Some of the anxious employees were harshly criticizing her. 

Yoon Seokae clenched her teeth and poured more heal.

But she reached her limit at some point, her face turned pale, and she passed out. 

Kim Changho grabbed Yoon Seokae and handed it over to other employees before she hit her head on the floor.

His face was distorted, perhaps to suppress the tears that seemed to burst at any moment.

“Minister…”

His voice was wet with water as if he had expected his impending death. 

Hunter Lee Beomjin, who was lying on the floor without moving a bit, was now gray because his complexion was so pale.

His lips were still purple.

But, he said.

“Nahyun-ah.”

His eyes were blurry as if immersed in darkness.

He couldn’t see my mom crying right next to him, wondering what to do.

“Yeah, me, it’s me. I’m here.”

My mom held the blood-stained hand of Hunter Lee Beomjin. 

However, Hunter Lee Beomjin didn’t seem to feel that.

“Hurry, avoid it. It’s dangerous….” 

That was the end of it.

No more words came from his lips.

He also stopped breathing.

The light went out of his eyes.

His whole body stopped working completely.

He died
