S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 162



Only Noblemtl

Episode 162 Collaboration between the Savior and Dodak

The problem is timing when to speak.

If you suddenly reveal your origins in an atmosphere where everyone is cheering, it would seem strange to anyone.

‘That won’t work.’

Cheon Do-woon is a genius at smoking.

But I wasn’t so clueless that I didn’t know when to jump into acting.

‘The topic of slums will come up at some point anyway.’

Let’s wait for that moment. The table has already been set, so all we have to do is wait.

Cheon Do-woon leisurely observed the situation. Then, reporters approached him.

“What do you think about this situation?”

“What do you think? It’s strange that a herd of chimeras appears in the city center.”

“That means….”

“There must be an illegal laboratory within Gold City.”

A murmur spread at Cheon Do-un’s words.

Half of the people nodded as if they expected it, and the other half responded that it was nonsense.

Those who are proud of the city they live in have stepped forward.

“Gold City is a safe place. There’s no way there’d be an illegal laboratory there.”

“That’s right. Could it have come from somewhere else?”

“That must be what you were thinking. There’s a reason why they say the darkness is under the lamp. Isn’t that right?”

That sounds plausible. If it were true, it would be scary.

You never know what might be happening next door.

The reporters and citizens had complicated expressions. In that atmosphere, one reporter stepped forward.

“Wait a minute! I just got a call. They say a horde of chimeras have appeared in the slums.”

As attention turned to him, he continued speaking as if this was the moment.

“Could it be a chimera that came over from there?”

“What? So this happened because of the slums?”

“That’s right. There might be an illegal research lab there.”

People started searching on their mobile phones.

“It’s real. It’s there when you search for it! There are videos and pictures too.”

“It looks like the chimera that escaped from there has come here.”

The bad atmosphere spread in an instant. Cheon Do-woon looked at the reporter who mentioned the slums.

He was laughing.

Although he was trying to control his facial expressions, it was clearly the reaction of someone who had attempted to ride the wave.

‘I guess you’re from that side.’

A group of people who spread bad rumors about the slums.

The mood was soon turning to the idea that the slums were causing damage to Gold City.

Cheon Do-woon looked around and said.

“There probably aren’t just videos of chimeras in the slums.”

“yes?”

“Search further. It will tell you what happened to those chimeras.”

“Well… let’s see.”

People started searching again.

“Two, two hunters subdued the chimeras!”

The one who shouted was occult enthusiast Lee Young-ho.

The issue of slums was buried by the issue of Gold City.

However, the occult site he frequently visited had a detailed account of the slum incident up to its conclusion.

“Wow, it’s a male and female hunter. They’re amazing! They’re capturing them alive without killing a single one!”

“Where are you? Where did you come from?”

“I found it too! I’ll send you the link now.”

In an instant, the video spread among the people. It was a video of the siblings subduing the chimera.

“Oh my god, who is this? I’ve never seen this face before.”

“If someone is this skilled, they should be known. Doesn’t anyone know anyone?”

People paid more attention to the siblings who subdued the chimera that appeared in the slums than to the siblings who were responsible for subduing it.

Young at 20, excellent skills, and even a celebrity-like appearance.

It truly had all the elements to grab people’s attention.

“How did you know they had subdued the chimera, sir?”

The reporter who had mentioned the slums asked, his eyes filled with discontent.

What I don’t like is that the atmosphere doesn’t flow the way I lead.

There were murmurs of agreement here and there, as if there was a group.

“Yeah. How did you know? It wasn’t even made into an article.”

“There’s something strange about someone so talented living in a slum.”

“Could it be that they were hired by an illegal research lab? They came out to collect the Chimeras that escaped.”

A strong and clear tone of voice. That’s a voice designed to incite people.

They are people who were paid to act as rumor mongers.

Cheon Do-woon smiled. They had set the table, so he just had to put his spoon on it.

“It’s natural that they are in the slums. They are from the slums.”

“yes…?”

“You’re from the slums.”

The commotion stopped. What kind of nonsense is that? People looked at Cheon Do-woon with such faces.

“By the way, they are also S-class hunters.”

“What the… that’s ridiculous. How can someone from the slums…?”

“If he was truly an S-class hunter, there would have been a huge article about him. This is ridiculous!”

“That makes sense. I’m from the slums too.”

The bomb fell. The reporters’ mouths dropped open at the sudden fall of a large bomb. Their eyes widened as if they were going to pop out.

Cheon Do-woon looked around at them and smiled.

“Slum District 13. That’s my hometown.”

In the quiet atmosphere, only Cheon Do-woon’s voice could be heard.

“That… what is that… .”

That’s ridiculous. Someone muttered as if groaning. There were others who just smiled in disbelief.

Slums are a gathering place for the uneducated.

Because there were so many criminals, there was even talk that they were a place of dirty blood.

How could an S-class hunter come out of a place like that?

Not even one, but three. This is absolutely ridiculous. I wanted to deny it, but there was living proof right in front of me.

“Well, come to think of it, didn’t you say that there were some incredibly talented alchemists who came from the slums?”

“That’s right. The rare ability user that came out a while ago also came from a slum.”

“What is it? What kind of place is it? Why are there so many people with such abilities?”

People looked at each other with puzzled faces.

From a neighborhood that had been ignored and trivialized until now, an incredible amount of talent was emerging.

Cheon Do-woon smiled. The mood had shifted to this side. At this point, it would be necessary to completely drive in the wedge.

The goal is to spread good news about the slums, so the production needs to be tailored to that.

‘What would be good?’

Cheon Do-woon thought for a moment and then smiled. If it’s a good image, there’s nothing better than this.

Cheon Do-woon took out a dodak from his fanny pack. People’s eyes were focused on it.

“I’m a S-class hunter, Dodak.”

“Wow, this is my first time seeing it in person.”

“You’re not trying to say that Dodak is from the slums, are you?”

Someone’s joke lightened the mood for a moment.

Dodak, who woke up to the noise, looked around. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

It’s noisy here. There are a lot of people I don’t know. It’s not where I and my assistant live.

-Whew, Whew!

Feeling threatened, Dodak raised his World Tree staff.

“Ooh! I’ve got a weapon!”

“What are you trying to do?”

As the noise grew louder, Dodak swung his cane in the air.

A threat to stay away. A threat to keep quiet.

Cheon Do-woon, who saw that, breathed mana into Dodak.

The power reached even the staff of the World Tree that Dodak held.

‘I still don’t know how the power of the World Tree is activated.’

Healing and destruction. This is a branch with opposing powers at the same time.

When Dodak swings his sword with hostility, its healing power is activated.

When that hostility reaches its limit, it becomes destructive.

The difference was subtle, but the current level of animosity was when the healing power kicked in.

Cheon Do-un resonated his power into the staff that Dodak-i was wielding.

‘It’s now.’

The power of the World Tree was amplified instantly through Dodaki.

Passasat. Light dust was scattered in all directions from the staff. It felt different from the light dust scattered by the butterflies.

Warm. Gentle. A healing light that calms the mind when you look at it.

“Hey, look at this. The wound is healing!”

“what?”

“I fell down earlier and scraped my knee! It’s fine now.”

The raw skin is gone. The chronic headaches are gone. The arthritis is gone.

The voices of people erupted from all over the place.

The reporters were busy taking pictures of Dodak.

A full shot of Cheon Do-woon holding the staff, a close-up shot of the staff, and a close-up shot of just the staff.

The clicking sound of shutters echoed all around.

Meanwhile, the light dust emitted from the staff covered the entire Gold City.

“Oh my god. What kind of power is this?”

At this level, it is a healing power that even high-level potions would not dare to show off.

“I heard that Dodaki’s ability is to absorb mana. Isn’t that right?”

“I saw that in the article too… Ah! A person with multiple abilities! Dodak is a person with multiple abilities!”

Dodak, a multi-powered person.

Dodaki’s stock price rose. People looked at Cheon Do-woon and Dodaki with surprised faces.

‘Okay. Let’s add some visual effects here.’

Cheon Do-woon lifted the hammer with one hand.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

As his position rose, Dodaki let out a long roar. The majesty he had as a king radiated from him.

Dodaki raised his staff into the air.

‘With this level of power, I could test whether the wound would heal permanently or only temporarily.’

To Cheon Do-woon, it was just a fun experiment. Those who didn’t know about it were excited.

“The light comes out stronger!”

“Please, please heal my herniated disc too!”

“My turtle neck too…!”

“Mr. Dodak, can’t your eyesight get better?”

The people shouted. The incident where the chimera emerged from the slums was no longer on their minds.

‘It seems like I’ve forgotten where I came from. And my siblings, too.’

Cheon Do-woon thought with a smile. Even though Dodak’s destructive power is strong, it is too strong.

Whatever it was, I was satisfied because I achieved my goal.

The slum chimera incident will be buried as several provocative rumors have simultaneously broken out.

While everyone was cheering, some people had dark expressions.

‘Damn… the initiative has completely passed.’

‘I asked you to act as a wind catcher. Since you failed, the commission fee must have gone away.’

Those who tried to spread rumors about the slums in any way possible.

They sighed.

In the meantime, it was inevitable that his expression would relax as his chronic back pain disappeared.

Ah, the maintenance is gone, but what do you think? My heart feels peaceful when I look at the halo created by Dodak.

‘I wonder if people in the old days felt this way?’

The return of the old savior. A former S-class hunter from the past.

A few headlines ran through the reporters’ minds.

* * *

The siblings running on the rooftop of the building stopped when they saw Gold City in the distance.

It was at that moment that the light dust covered Gold City.

“Yujia, look at that. Everyone is looking at Cheon Do-un like a divine leader.”

Yoo Beom laughed. My friend boasted about his acting skills, but he also used that kind of directing well.

He was truly a resourceful guy.

Yoo Beom looked at Cheon Do Woon from afar and said.

“I think about it sometimes. Cheon Do-woon seems like a true hero.”

“why?”

“You still have leaves on your head.”

They say it’s for Dodak’s mental health, but there aren’t many people who can confidently stand in front of people like that.

He was truly a hero.

Perhaps because he walked around so confidently, the reporters didn’t ask him about the leaf he had in his hair.

Some even thought that it must have been a leaf that fell from somewhere.

“A picture of her with a colorful leaf in her hair will be circulated. Look at her confidence, not even caring. I can’t do it.”

“That’s right. Come to think of it, you came out of the gate and kept walking like that, right?”

These days, when Cheon Do-woon wakes up in the morning, he puts a leaf in his hair.

He also showed his sincerity by tying it with thread to prevent it from falling.

A figure with a leaf of the World Tree on his head and a flute held in one hand. There is also a halo of light scattered around him.

Surely that pose will make headlines today.

‘I wonder what kind of article will come out this time.’

Yoo Beom thought with a cheerful smile.
