S-Class Hunter Heals with Monsters - Chapter 193



Only Noblemtl

193. The hardest thing is to be gentle

* * *

The siblings released a total of 48 chimeras onto the island.

Even though they came from the same research institute, they were not close.

Their personalities are so different that they don’t get along.

The chimeras fought against the monsters of the island and secured their own territory.

Of course, not everyone was like that.

-Phew… .

Chimeras with low aggression were being kicked around.

I was attacked by the same chimeras and monsters living on the island.

The ones that were particularly targeted were the plant-type chimeras with gentle dispositions.

-Pheung… Pheung… .

A 30cm tall grass root hidden behind a large tree.

It resembles a mandragora, but it is not a mandragora. It is a chimera with just its cells mixed together.

The grassroots hid behind the trees and watched the outside world.

A massive beast, a chimera, appeared beyond the bushes.

-Krrrrrr.

I also heard eerie beast sounds.

A vicious chimera that became the de facto ruler of this area. It was a white tiger chimera that was over 3 meters tall.

-Phew… .

If I get caught, I’ll get eaten. The roots crouched. They trembled with fear.

I wanted to get out of here. I wanted to live in a peaceful place.

A place where mana overflows. A place with soft soil. A place with plenty of sunlight.

Is there a place where I can sunbathe and roll around without any worries?

The grassroots became gloomy.

There is no way such a paradise exists, yet today I still long for such a place.

-Pheung… Pheung… .

The grass roots’ eyes were filled with plant juice. The refreshing scent of the plant chimera spread throughout them.

The tiger chimera nearby couldn’t miss it.

Baekho flared his nose. He could smell something delicious coming from somewhere.

The smell of a snack that had a nice texture when chewed. Baekho began to explore, flicking his tongue.

* * *

At the same time, Cheon Do-un rode the Blue and headed to the northern sea.

The siblings who were flying ahead pointed beyond the horizon.

“You see it over there? That’s the island where the chimeras were released.”

The siblings pointed to an island in the middle of the sea. Kim Na-ri’s eyes widened when she saw it.

“That, that is…! It’s pretty. It looks like a tropical island!”

“Yes. It’s like a tropical island.”

“That’s strange. It’s the North Sea, but why does it feel like a tropical island?”

Kim Na-ri asked. Cheon Do-woon laughed at that innocent question.

“The North Sea is just a name given by humans. It’s called that because it’s in the north on the map. It’s not a cold place.”

“Oh, I see.”

“It looks like we’re about to land. Let’s get ready to get off.”

The siblings landed on the beach first. Blue, who saw that, also landed on the sandy beach.

White sandy beaches. Emerald seas. Trees that resemble palm trees.

It was truly a peaceful scene.

Only one man, the man tied to Blue’s leg, was not at peace.

“Ab…! Phew, phew!”

The man tied up with the rope did not land properly. He landed alone on the beach with his head buried in the sand and ate sand.

He stood up with a pitiful face, but no one paid any attention to it.

“How is it? It’s pretty good?”

The siblings looked at the island and asked.

“We also found this island by chance while flying. It would be nice to come here for a vacation in the spring. Right now, the flowers are in full bloom, so there will be a lot to see.”

“Really? Then I guess I should go sightseeing while I’m here.”

“Oh, sightseeing! I agree with you, sir!”

Kim Na-ri said, raising her arms.

“A tropical island picnic is the way to go!”

“Really? Is that right?”

“be right!”

“That’s what they say. Let’s take our time looking around and find some chimeras.”

Cheon Do-woon said. The man watching couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

‘A vacation? A picnic? Are you in your right mind?’

This is an island in the northern seas. It is a restricted area designated by the Hunter’s Association.

It was late at night, so the forest was eerie. Monsters could be heard growling here and there.

The sound of cicadas in the middle of the night added to the creepiness.

‘Where on earth is this resort island!’

The man wanted to shout like that. Cheon Do-woon said as he untied the man.

“I’ll come get you in ten days. Try to survive until then.”

“Hey, wait a minute. Are you really going to leave me here alone?”

The man protested, but there was no one there anymore.

Cheon Do-woon and his party entered the island in an instant and disappeared.

The man stared blankly at it, not even thinking of following it.

‘It’s dangerous to go into that forest. It’s better to stay near the beach.’

Yeah, it’s only ten days. Let’s just hang in there. What can’t we do?

‘I am an awakened one too, this is it!’

I will survive, the man vowed, clenching his fists.

* * *

The island was quite large. The further you went inside, the more dense the jungle became.

Cheon Do-woon saw Blue following him, staggering along.

Blue, who was large, seemed to have a hard time walking as he bumped into the grass and trees.

“Blue, you go upstairs and wait. If there’s no place suitable, you can go outside the island.”

Cheon Do-woon pointed upward and said.

Blue, recognizing the signal, soared upward. He circled the island and sat down on a nearby rock.

It meant that he would wait until another signal came.

“Okay. Now, shall we look for the chimeras?”

Cheon Do-un spread mana around him. Monsters were excluded from the search targets.

Only chimeras with different types of gi are selected.

He, who was in the middle of exploring, had a look of surprise on his face.

‘I thought we’d all stick together since this is an unfamiliar place. But we’re all scattered.’

Unlike the Hanbit Lab kids, they seem to be on bad terms. It’ll be a hassle to catch them one by one.

‘There’s nothing we can do. Let’s grab what’s close by.’

Cheon Do-woon stopped as he narrowed the search area.

‘I feel quite familiar with this. Is this… a mixture of Mandragora cells?’

It’s not far away. There’s a battle going on right now. No. This is more of a one-sided escape than a battle.

-Phew…!

An urgent cry similar to that of a mandragora was heard.

It sounded like a call for help. The moment he heard it, Cheon Do-woon ran.

The siblings and Kim Na-ri who saw that also followed.

* * *

A plant-like chimera hiding behind a large tree.

The grass roots were currently running through the bushes.

My breathing was ragged. I held back my breathing. It was to escape from the tiger chimera that was chasing me.

-Phueng… Phueng… !

It was hard. I can’t run anymore. The white tiger chasing after me clearly knows where I am.

They follow slowly and deliberately, knowing that they are playing with their prey.

Even though I knew that, I couldn’t stop jumping.

But even that leap has its limits.

-Phu, puuung…!

My foot caught on a rock and I fell.

The plump body rolled down the steep slope.

The grassroots trembled and stood up. He tried to run away again, but a large shadow appeared in front of him.

Thud. A thick forepaw blocked the way. Above my head, there was a growling sound like an animal.

As I felt the cold gaze, plant juice flowed down my spine.

-Phew… Phew… .

The grass roots looked up.

When their eyes met, the chimera, which resembled a tiger, flicked its tongue.

It meant taking a bite of the plump belly.

The grassroots shook their heads and backed away on their haunches.

-Phew, phew!

Don’t do that. We came from the same lab. We used to live in the same room.

The grassroots appealed with trembling voices.

Baekho opened his mouth wide and laughed.

Ah, wrong. Grassroots closed his eyes tightly. He braced himself, but for some reason there was no pain.

As I carefully opened my eyes, I saw someone blocking my path.

A small plant in striped clothing.

A small body that is less than half my height.

Still, I felt an indescribable majesty from that back.

-Phew… Phew?

Who are you? asked Grassroots in a trembling voice.

The small plant, Todak, looked back. At the sight of those dignified eyes, the grassroots’ mouth opened.

Who on earth is the author who is not at all scared even when faced with a giant white tiger?

The eyes of the grassroots wavered.

Dodaki opened his mouth after seeing such grass roots.

-Whew!

A rough roar came out. It was a spirit that could not be defeated even by a white tiger.

The crow plucked out its roots and struck the ground.

Podak. There was a majestic sound as the dirt particles splashed. With his other hand, he raised the World Tree staff.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

The King’s battle mode. The grassroots couldn’t take their eyes off his powerful appearance.

At Dodak’s sudden appearance, Baekho also hesitated and stepped back.

That was scary. To be exact, the one standing quietly behind it, Cheon Do-woon, was scary.

“It seems like Mr. Dodak is angry.”

“That’s right. Why did you suddenly run away like that? Did you recognize that root as your own kind?”

Cheon Do-woon looked at the grassroots. When their eyes met, the grassroots trembled.

The grassroots were afraid of people. They were more afraid than the white tiger.

It was a trauma from being experimented on in a laboratory.

-Phew… Phew.

Are they here to capture me? Am I going to be dragged back to that lab?

The grassroots backed away on their haunches. Their bodies trembled as their backs touched the rocks and they were blocked.

When Cheon Do-woon saw that, he stopped walking.

“Kim Na-ri. You go and hug her. It would be better if someone smaller went.”

“I get it.”

Kim Na-ri hugged the grassroots. The grassroots’ body stiffened at the sudden touch.

“Oh, sir. This grassroots seems scared. What should I do?”

“Well, just pat me on the back.”

“Do, pat pat. Got it. I’ll try.”

Kim Na-ri laid down the grass root in her arms and hugged it. She patted its stomach while doing so.

It was an imitation of what Cheon Do-woon did when he put Dodak to sleep.

-Phu, phew…?

The grassroots’ eyes shook at the affectionate touch they felt for the first time.

Those eyes saw Kim Na-ri. They saw Cheon Do-woon. They also saw the siblings approaching from behind.

Who are they? Now that I look at them, I feel like they all have a similar energy to me. It’s a mixture of many different energies.

Then, could it be that he was a classmate from the same lab as me?

While the grassroots were confused, Cheon Do-woon saw Baekho.

“That cat is a chimera too.”

Cheon Do-woon walked towards Baek-ho. The grass roots were surprised and stopped him.

-Phu, puuung…!

He is the most vicious man in the lab. He is the ruler of this island. You must not approach him.

The grassroots cried out desperately. Of course, it did not reach Cheon Do-woon.

-Krrrrrr.

Baekho was wary of Cheon Do-un.

The author is strong. I felt it instinctively, but I didn’t back down.

Far from backing down, Cheon Do-un’s strong energy provoked Baekho’s spirit of victory.

Kwaang. With a loud roar, Baekho jumped. With his mouth wide open, he aimed for Cheon Do-un’s neck.

“Oh, like that.”

“Hmm.”

The siblings prayed for Baekho for a moment.

“Sir, you have to be gentle! If the cat is sick, my heart hurts!”

Kim Na-ri also shouted from the side.

“Slowly. That’s quite difficult.”

Cheon Do-woon stretched out his hand. He made a circle with his thumb and index finger and aimed at Baekho.

Just put some mana in it and hit it once. Yeah, that would be good.

Cheon Do-un hurled a condensed manatan bomb at Baekho’s head.

Kwaang. As Manatan was launched, the white tiger flew away with a loud noise. The surrounding trees snapped and a storm raged.

“Oh, the cat flew away…!”

The whole area flew away.

Kim Na-ri was embarrassed. Cheon Do-woon was also embarrassed. The siblings covered their eyes with their hands as if they had expected this to happen.

Silence fell. As the dust cleared, a white tiger was seen flying a few dozen meters behind.

“hmm….”

Cheon Do-woon looked at his hand. He pretended to hit the air and tilted his head.

‘Should I have used more force?’

As expected, being gentle is the most difficult. Cheon Do-woon looked at Baekho again.

There was no movement. Still, a small breathing sound could be heard. Cheon Do-woon smiled with satisfaction after confirming that.

“Fell asleep.”

“Hey, are you asleep?”

“Yeah. I fell asleep. It’s late at night. I guess I’ll take a nap and wake up.”

Cheon Do-woon said.

It’s not much different from sleeping in that it’s the same in that you’re unconscious.

“Good night.”

Let’s leave it like that for now. Cheon Do-woon thought with a smile.
