Becoming a Hunter in a Dark Fantasy - Chapter 90
Only Noblemtl
Episode 90 Horned Lizard (4)
Gale came up with a way to utilize her magical powers.
‘Let’s attack the eyes.’
When a bullet of light reaches an opponent at close range, it is immediately hit by another bullet of light.
And it explodes to temporarily reduce the opponent’s eyesight.
‘It’s blocking out visual information!’
The eyes are the most important organ for judging things, because we depend on our eyes for 70% of external information.
Therefore, making someone lose their sight can have the effect of blocking information they get from their eyes while also lowering their attack power.
‘If you can’t see, can you really attack?’
Sigh, Gail laughed and aimed her gun.
bang!
Gale was showing off his skill by firing his gun twice in rapid succession, hitting the first bullet with the second bullet.
‘concentration!’
He was so focused on his new endeavor that he didn’t really notice it.
No, even if it was the usual Gale, he wouldn’t have thought much of it. He only thought of his own skills as ‘not bad’.
Taang
“Ouch! You little punk, you’re looking at my eyes again… …!”
As Candela closed her eyes and cried in pain, Gail smiled with his characteristically mischievous smile, as if he were satisfied.
“What are you talking about? Last time, you dug your own grave.”
“… … What!?”
Something gray approached me quickly through my blurry vision.
“Sister. Your body is so strong.”
As soon as their red gazes met, Candela felt a sense of crisis. She immediately tried to pull away, but!
“So, don’t blame me too much because I can’t control my strength.”
Gail, who had closed the distance without realizing it, landed a strong hook on Candela’s forehead.
His hands were filled with magical power.
“… … Keuk!”
Oh my god!
The ground where Candela struck buckled, creating a small crater.
She seemed to lose consciousness for a moment due to the shock, but soon got up and vomited water.
“Hahaha! … … You! You’re really strong!?”
“Wow. What happened to you too? I hit you hard in the forehead, and you got up after getting hit by it?”
“I’m strong! Anyway, I lost this game! I admit it!”
Candela grinned fiercely, baring her fangs, and bumped her clenched fist into her other hand. Then she shouted in excitement.
“Let’s fight one more time!”
Candela’s ochre eyes sparkled.
‘He’s crazy about fighting.’
Gail instinctively noticed this and took a step back with a trembling expression.
“Excuse me… Sister? The reason we fought was because of a confrontation.”
“You know what? Since I lost, I will accept the result of this match. But that’s that, and this is this!”
Candela suddenly launched a flurry of blows at Gale, wondering where he got the energy to do so after having fought so fiercely until just now.
Gale, who had been desperately avoiding, shouted.
“Sister! I don’t want to fight! I finished my quota today!”
“Why, why? It’s fun! Let’s fight!”
“Ah, I don’t want to-!”
“But why do you call me ‘big sister’? I won’t raise a street urchin like you, darling.”
“I used to call women who seemed older than me ‘sister’? But to call them street thugs… … How harsh.”
When the running away, chasing, and fighting continues like that.
Clap, clap-
I heard a couple of claps.
It was not applause that gave the impression of admiration or praise toward someone, but rather a simple attempt to draw attention by saying, “Look at me.”
“Okay, that’s it.”
An unfamiliar voice was heard along with it. The intruder who suddenly came between Gail and Candela lightly grabbed his and her shoulders.
Then, surprisingly, I couldn’t move as if a weight weighing several tons was attached to my body.
“Who are you, who are you… who are you?”
Candela’s pupils shook greatly as she opened her trembling mouth and squeezed out her voice all winter long.
I couldn’t bring myself to speak to him informally. That was absolutely unacceptable.
The instincts that had saved her life and shown her the way forward warned her strongly.
─The author is a person who can shake the world.
A low, soft, beautiful voice spoke.
“Nice to meet you. I am Lwin Regisel, the vice-captain of Spero.”
That can’t be! He’s not the type of person to be in that position, in that kind of vessel!
Candela was convinced.
Although it is a very exceptional case, occasionally, among the Suin tribe, individuals with particularly strong instincts… ‘feelings’ are born.
Even though they are bound by powerful bonds created by special hunters from several generations ago, there is an extremely slim chance, say one in ten million, of a descendant being born who inherits the original and destructive power of a ‘true water man’ before the bonds.
Most of these people are skilled at fighting or excel in other fields.
Because you can fully utilize your innate intuition to build a tower in a more advantageous position than others.
Nero, Haque, and Candela were also of that type.
“… … .”
That’s why Candela ‘instinctively’ notices.
The unique and different singularity of a man named Lewin. The specialness that shines brightly alone in the midst of countless sand fields!
But she did not say a word of what she had noticed. Silence is always a virtue.
“I would have proposed a competition through our unit. I would have set three conditions for each of us.”
“That, that’s right… … .”
“With Gale’s victory, the outcome of this match has been decided, so isn’t it time to discuss negotiations with me?”
“you’re right.”
But how painful is knowledge?
Knowing the unbearable truth in itself has a profound impact on the present.
“Sister. Why were you so scared?”
“Be quiet, Emma!”
Candela was terrified of that boy named ‘Lewin’ who could barely reach her chest. It was the worst fear she had ever experienced.
To Candela, Lewin appeared to be a disaster in human skin.
‘A walking disaster.’
I never know when my mind will change and I will destroy my home and my loved ones.
‘How is everyone okay…?’
Gail is laughing happily inside.
The three people who had approached him from behind, who seemed to be members of the same Sphero group, were also not afraid of the boy.
Rather, isn’t it that you are looking at him with eyes of trust?
She just couldn’t understand.
“Where should we sit and continue talking?”
“Okay! I’ll guide you.”
But that’s that, and this is this.
Candela, who sensed a chilling fear in the kindly smiling face, took Lwin in hand and guided him to her office.
She was so proud of herself for not shedding tears in the middle of it.
“Hake, can you release this unique magic?”
That was the first thing Elwin said as soon as he sat down.
“Okay, I solved it!”
Hake answered, lightly snapping his fingers.
“Huh, huh?!”
Then Candela was startled.
Across from where she sat, there was a large window that gave a clear view of the tunnel, and through it she could see people going about their daily lives without any problems!
“Hey, what is this!”
Candela hurriedly went to the window and craned her neck to look down.
Residents were seen waving happily at her as they found her. They didn’t look like the people who had just lost their sight, hearing, and touch and were screaming.
“… …Is everyone okay?”
Hake answered the words that came out somewhat sadly.
“Of course. That’s why I said from the beginning, how much is reality and how much is illusion?”
“Haa… … . Was even that an illusion?”
Candela sighed. It was a sigh of relief.
Hake chuckled and said.
“If you take innocent civilians hostage, that guy over there will be the one who cuts off my head first?”
“Don’t say such cruel things, Hake. I’m not that violent of a person.”
Elwin refuted this, but the Spero members refuted it again.
“Kid, what are you talking about? Put your hand on your conscience and think about the time you were training us! You pushed us to the brink of death!”
“That’s training! That’s how you learn. I said that too.”
“… … This is going too far.”
“This is Ihadongmun.”
“Mr. Calix, Ms. Sercia too?!”
Elwin, who had his instep struck by the axe he trusted, made a shocked expression.
“Kahaha.”
Candela’s shoulders, which had been tense, relaxed a little during that conversation that was like a joke.
“… … Well, anyway, good. Now, let’s get to the main point.”
As Candela nodded seriously, Elwin continued.
“We are not here to harm you, Candela, or the Batevil Tunnels.”
Earlier, Elwin showed his favor by releasing Hake’s unique magic. Candela nodded again.
“Then is there anything you want from me?”
Since he lost the match, the ownership of the papyrus passed to him. But that was not the only condition.
Before fighting Candela, Gale said this:
-What we want is first, peaceful dialogue and negotiation. Second, the papyrus that our comrades stole earlier. Third, Horned Lizard, your assistance.
As we can see from the first and third conditions, he really wants to get ‘something’ from Candela in a peaceful way, through dialogue and negotiation.
Whether it’s information she knows, her own magic, or whatever.
“I don’t like beating around the bush. Let me get straight to the point. Candela, there’s something I need your help with.”
“What is that…?”
Candela swallowed hard, waiting for his next words. She wondered what a walking disaster could possibly be asking for her help.
Soon, Elwin’s mouth began to move.
“Will you betray Deficio?”
“……yes?”
The dumbfounded Candela opened her mouth in shock. However, Elwin did not understand her bewildered state of mind and detonated bombs one after another.
“You were going to betray me anyway, right?”
“Th, how about that… …!”
It must have been a secret that no one knew that Candela, who had been obediently following Depicchio’s words like a leashed animal, was secretly waiting for the right moment to strike Depicchio on the back of the head… … !
Candela was a hot-blooded man, but he was not stupid. He had never told this to his subordinates in the Batevil tunnels. No one knew that it was Depicchio’s work.
“Oh, did you hear that from Frau?”
I only told that fact to my most trusted and dearest sister in the world, Frau.
Could it be that the younger brother, who became a hunter, told this disaster the secret because he was worried about his older sister? Did he realize that this disaster had the same goal as his older sister?
‘But Frau is… … .’
There was no such thing as a coach or a coach. Although she loved her younger sister, Candela never believed that Frau had any sense.
I’d rather believe the rumor that there’s a singing octopus.
“No, I didn’t hear it from Frau.”
As expected, Elwin shook his head firmly.
“then?”
“Well, how should I explain it?”
He seemed lost in thought for a moment, then smiled brightly.
“I’m a natural rebel, just like you, Candela. A rebel knows another rebel, you know… something like that.”
“I guess that means it’s difficult to say.”
Elwin smiled again without answering. But sometimes, a smile tells the answer.
But he continued in a serious voice.
“Let’s fuck Depicio together.”
As if this were the absolute truth, without any lies.
