S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 175



Only Noblemtl

175. Clash of the Colon Roots

The impact of the fairy Cheon Do-un was great.

Even siblings with supernatural powers experienced momentary out-of-body experiences.

Meanwhile, Cheon Do-woon clicked his tongue as he looked at the clothes with the back torn.

“You threw away your clothes. If you take out your wings, this is the problem.”

No, the clothes aren’t the problem.

“Well, this time it’s not indoors. There’s no need to clean it, so that shouldn’t be a problem.”

That wasn’t a problem, but it caused problems for the mental health of those around him. Yoo Beom held back from saying that.

While the siblings were suffering from mental damage, Cheon Do-woon discovered Kim Na-ri and approached her.

“Wow, mister. Wings. I have wings!”

“Yeah. It looks like it.”

“Even the sky is flying, uncle! That’s cool!”

“Is it cool?”

“That’s right!”

Kim Na-ri raised both arms and shouted.

After seeing that, the siblings began to wonder about Kim Na-ri’s mental world.

“That’s great. It’s the first time I’ve had that kind of reaction. Not bad.”

Cheon Do-woon laughed. It felt strange to hear pure admiration after always seeing the rotten cucumber expression.

“Sir, can I touch your wings?”

“No. It’s dangerous.”

“danger?”

“Yeah. This is more of a blade than a wing. It’s okay now that the blade is lying down. But if you touch it at the wrong angle, your finger will get cut off.”

“Cow, your finger…!”

Kim Na-ri hid her hands behind her back.

At his words, the siblings looked at Cheon Do-un’s wings again.

‘A blade. Now that I hear it, that’s what it feels like.’

It has a butterfly-like shape, but is fundamentally a monster.

It just looked like fairy wings due to the optical illusion of glitter powder.

When I looked at it up close, I felt strangely eerie.

“What effect do those powders have? They don’t just squirt them out for no reason, do they?”

Yoo Beom asked. Instead of answering, Cheon Do Woon looked at his wings.

After decades of not using them, he had forgotten that he had wings.

But once I took out my wings, the sensations in my body felt natural.

“These powders are groundwork for battle.”

“that is?”

“Oh. When the battle starts, there’s one more thing that’s hidden among the powder and sprinkled. This light powder is a camouflage to hide that. Once mixed and sprinkled, it’s hard to tell the difference…”

Cheon Do-woon stopped talking when he saw Kim Na-ri. This is not a story to be told to a child.

“Just know that it’s used when hunting over a wide area.”

If used on people, it would cause widespread slaughter. Of course, it was something that could not be said in front of young Kim Na-ri.

‘I won’t be using this power. It doesn’t matter.’

Cheon Do-un looked back at the mountain where the eruption had begun.

“Anyway, we’ve already found all the Mandragora. Let’s get out of here before the volcano erupts any more.”

Cheon Do-un flew up carrying the mandragoras.

The siblings also began flying while carrying Kim Na-ri.

‘Let’s see. The place where the World Tree was seen… is it around there?’

Cheon Do-woon changed direction.

Now that we’ve saved Mandragora, it’s time to look for traces of the World Tree.

* * *

He landed on the ground and lowered the mandragoras.

The roots circled around Cheon Do-un as if they were celebrating a festival.

This adult mandragora is huge. It flies in the sky. It’s fast. It saved them with its great strength.

-Whew!

The large intestine root raised its arm in a flash. It was as if it was a declaration that it would follow in the footsteps of Cheon Do-un.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

The young roots also raised their arms, pledging to follow suit.

Cheon Do-un became the role model for the mandragoras.

“Oh, my. Aren’t the kids’ goals too high?”

The siblings who landed with Kim Na-ri smiled at the sight of Cheon Do-woon surrounded by grassroots.

“Come to think of it, there’s no Dodak. Where is it?”

“On my back.”

“etc?”

“I guess the wings are strange. They’ve been attached to my back for a while now and won’t come off.”

Cheon Do-woon showed his back. There was a stick stuck to his back.

I tried touching the wings with my arm roots and even tried climbing onto them.

“Sir, the magpie is touching my wing. Isn’t that dangerous?”

“It’s okay. I’m protecting you by wrapping you in mana.”

Dodakki cannot understand what people are saying.

Even if I told him that it was dangerous to touch him, it didn’t work, so I wrapped Dodak’s body in mana for protection.

-Huh?

Dodak, who was examining the wings, had a profound expression on his face.

Wings sprouted from the assistant’s back. A new sprout also sprouted from his own back recently.

If that new shoot grows and spreads, won’t it be able to fly too?

-Phew…!

Then you need two new shoots. Let them grow on both sides and flap like helpers. Then you can fly too.

Dodaki nodded. At that moment, another new sprout sprouted up from Dodaki’s back.

It was a change that no one had noticed yet.

“I’ve come here, but won’t it be difficult to find traces of the World Tree now?”

Yoo Beom looked around and said.

“That would be right. It was seen 60 years ago. If there were any branches or anything left, they would have been buried in the dirt.”

If so, this is the only way to search.

Cheon Do-woon took out a branch of the World Tree from his bag. He also grabbed the stick that was stuck to his back and pulled it down.

“I will try to spread the power of the World Tree through Dodak.”

That’s what I did in Gold City.

If there is a resonant reaction, there will be traces of the World Tree there.

Cheon Do-un breathed mana into the branches of the World Tree.

As the power of the World Tree spread, the branches were lifted like radar.

Cheon Do-un, a fairy who holds a small staff and spits out light dust.

‘Mom… Let’s pretend I didn’t see it.’

Yoo Beom, who had been mentally attacked, quietly turned his head.

Yujia had already turned her head and was staring at the distant mountains.

“Found it.”

The corners of Cheon Do-un’s mouth went up. He had found something that responded to the power of the World Tree.

“It’s close. There’s no need to fly there.”

Cheon Do-un folded his wings and stored them inside his body.

The siblings looked intrigued as they saw the sharp edges of the blade fold inward.

It certainly looked different in structure from their own wings.

“let’s go.”

He put on his wings and started walking.

* * *

Where Cheon Do-un arrived, there was a large rock.

“Is it buried underneath?”

“no.”

Cheon Do-woon knocked on the rock with his hand.

“It’s in here.”

He pulled the thread from his fingers and split the rock. As the rock split, a golden fruit rolled out from within.

Even though it was decades old, the fruit still looked fresh, as if it had just been picked.

“Sir, why do fruits grow inside rocks?”

“Well. Since there was space inside… maybe someone hid it in the crack and forgot about it.”

Whether it was an animal or a person, they hid the fruit and then forgot about it.

Over time, dirt and leaves accumulated in the gaps.

After several decades, the crevice in the rock became blocked.

As a result, the fruit was buried in the rock without being discovered by anyone. It was Cheon Do-un who found it after 60 years.

“It would have brought tears to Joseph’s eyes if he had been there.”

The siblings said with a hollow laugh.

Is it possible to find traces of a rare creature called the World Tree so easily?

What a normal person would have found in a lifetime, Cheon Do-woon found in just a few minutes.

‘That’s right. That guy himself is a descendant of the World Tree. If you detect it with power resonance or something, it’ll be instantaneous.’

While the siblings were admiring each other, Cheon Do-woon examined the fruit.

“Sir, if I plant that fruit, will the world tree grow?”

“That’s not true. Plant-based monsters often don’t have seeds in their fruits.”

Take it and examine it, and you’ll find out something.

Luckily, they had Joseph, an expert in this field. If you dangled the bait, he would be the first to beg you to let him study it.

“Okay. Shall we go home now?”

All the purposes for which I came here have been achieved.

Cheon Do-woon smiled with satisfaction and gave a signal to Blue who was nearby.

* * *

When Cheon Do-woon arrived home, he placed the roots on the table.

As he sat down at the table, his companions also brought chairs and sat down.

“Why are you looking so serious?”

“I was wondering what to do about these guys’ living quarters.”

This is a priority over the investigation of the World Tree’s fruit.

A meeting has begun to discuss where to place the mandragora brought from the volcano.

“Either send them to Seolsan. Or expand the garden and grow them here. It’s one of the two.”

“Sir, I wish I could grow them. I wish the number of people who make vegetable gardens would increase.”

Kim Na-ri raised her arms and shouted.

It was a good time to gradually expand the garden. However, that did not mean that we could just merge them without any plan.

“There’s a leader on each side. If they face each other, there’ll be a fight.”

Mandragora has a strong sense of camaraderie. However, that does not mean unconditional acceptance.

There is only one place to live. There are two camps. There are also two leaders.

“There’s going to be a bloody fight.”

The siblings muttered with serious faces. Cheon Do-woon thought for a moment and then put the roots down in the yard.

“Let’s have them face each other first. If it seems dangerous, let’s separate. Everyone, stay alert.”

At Cheon Do-un’s words, the group lowered their posture. They were ready to separate Mandragora at any time.

The first to move were the roots from the volcano.

-Huh?

-Huh, huh?

The roots that had moved in looked around happily.

This place is rich in mana. It’s a great place to start a new business.

The large intestine nodded with satisfaction.

At that moment, the soil in the garden moved.

Thump thump. The head of the garden’s main root is poking out.

Following this, the rest of the roots also began to show their faces.

The roots of the garden sprouted from the ground, stretching out and facing straight ahead.

-Huh, huh?

The roots that had moved in were confused. They didn’t know that there would already be those who had settled down there.

The leader of the garden roots stepped forward.

The leader of the volcanic roots also stepped forward.

The noises that had been rumbling around them all at once stopped. Cheon Do-woon and his party also held their breath in that heavy silence.

It was the first time that Cheon Do-woon had seen a group with two leaders face each other.

“Aren’t the garden kids at a disadvantage? If they’re not careful, a rock that rolls in could dislodge the stone that’s stuck in there.”

Yoo Beom said worriedly.

30 roots vs. 5 roots in the garden. The number of people in the groups was too different. It was obvious to anyone who saw it that they would win or lose.

“No. I can’t be sure. The garden kids are veterans of many battles.”

They are warriors who endured the harsh life in the garden.

“And there are liquid metal roots in the garden camp.”

Liquid metal root that has recently become healthy. The chimera root stands on the right side of the large intestine root.

“That, that’s…! It’s the sparrow uncle position! The liquid metal kid is the captain’s right-hand man!”

Liquid metal became the captain’s right arm.

To the left, roots have recently grown thicker.

It was the root that gave him his magnificent size after receiving Manager Kim’s Ringer supplement.

“That kid, that kid has a left arm! That skinny kid is now a left arm!”

The dried roots stepped forward to protect the group.

The remaining two roots are still young. They rode the horse from behind.

Mandragora’s two-story root tower. The magnificent height is completed when two roots are combined.

-Phew, phew…!

The roots from the volcano were startled by their spirit and retreated. The young ones trembled and collapsed.

“I can’t tell if we’ll win or lose.”

Everyone nodded at Cheon Do-woon’s words.

At that moment when everyone was tense, the root of the giant from the dormant volcano moved.

The safety of his people rests on his shoulders. He cannot give up this good place and retreat.

-Whew!

Todadak. The short roots moved nimbly. The leader of the garden roots who saw it also ran out.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

Even the leader of the garden roots could not retreat.

He was a person recognized by the previous king. He had four roots behind him that he had to protect.

3 seconds left until the clash between the captain and the captain.

“Oh, it hits…!”

Kim Na-ri clenched her fists in tension.

Above Cheon Do-un’s head, Dodak stood as if he were watching over him.

The group also watched the outcome with heavy faces.

‘What is that? What is that that makes you so serious?’

Why is everyone crouching in a line and watching that?

Only number 49 and Seok Woo-hyuk, who were unaware of the situation, were unable to keep up with the mood and broke out in a cold sweat.
