The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 148



Only Noblemtl

Episode 148

Abyss of despair.

It was so named because countless gods and apostles were unable to conquer it and eventually gave up.

The true name of the Abyss of Despair was revealed in the previous life, but at this point, no one knows its true name.

‘Before the Second Great Advent, the temple here was not even discovered.’

It was not even known that there was a separate red-tinted land.

Because I didn’t know how to attack, I had no choice but to retreat after failing many times.

An endless stream of monsters, a battle that never ends no matter how much you fight.

The apostles and believers all left in disgust at the madness of the swarming monsters.

I saw a huge temple before my eyes.

On the surface it looked like a simple pile of stones, but in reality it was different.

‘There should be a passage leading to the entrance somewhere here.’

I looked around the piles of stones.

“What are you doing?”

Sekhmet looked at me and asked with a puzzled look.

“If you find a pattern you’ve never seen before in a pile of stones, tell me.”

“Is that okay?”

“okay.”

“I get it.”

Starting with Sekhmet, the group that came with her all searched through the pile of stones.

“Found it.”

Coincidentally, I was the first one to find it.

The first letters I’ve seen carved into a pile of stones.

This letter is the name of this temple and also the entrance to the temple.

“What is this?”

Julia was the first to come up to me and ask.

Her eyes were filled with doubt as she looked down at the letters with her hands clasped together.

“Julia, can you read this?”

“… That’s amazing. I’m clearly blind, so how can I see?”

It was when she, with a voice full of admiration, tried to read the words written on the pile of stones.

“wait a minute.”

“yes?”

“Suyeon.”

I called out to Lee Su-yeon, who was searching the pile of stones with me.

“Yes? What did you find?”

“Please come here.”

Lee Su-yeon stopped searching and approached me.

“Ms. Julia will read the words written here. Then, Ms. Lee Soo-yeon, write those words in your history book.”

“Right now?”

“yes.”

“Okay. Is there anything I should be careful about?”

“If you write down the corresponding characters in the history book, Lee Su-yeon will be able to see the true appearance of this pile of stones. Just write it down exactly as you see it.”

“Then what happens?”

“You’ll know when you see it for yourself.”

“all right.”

I grabbed her wrist.

“It won’t be easy to write down what you see. But you have to do it.”

That’s all I could say.

“There is something.”

“yes.”

“Is there a reason you can’t tell me?”

“Because I don’t know what I see either.”

“I see. I understand. I’m prepared for that.”

Lee Soo-yeon nodded.

Two people are absolutely necessary to conquer the Abyss of Despair.

Their fighting power is the lowest among the group, but without them, finding the temple inside the Abyss would have been quite difficult.

The reason was simple.

Julia saw something no one else saw.

This was because Lee Su-yeon could write what no one else could.

“If you are ready, just read it.”

At my words, Julia looked down at the pile of stones again and opened her mouth.

“Amut, the god of struggle.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the letters began to glow and the ground began to shake.

Hwaaaat!

“What, what is going on?”

Julia was flustered, and I held her hand tightly and called out to Lee Soo-yeon.

“Suyeon!”

“all right!”

Lee Soo-yeon disappeared through space.

Now all we have to do is wait for her to open up.

“Is it okay?”

“it’s okay.”

I trust her.

* * *

Lee Su-yeon tore through the space of the record and went inside.

Her own space that no one can invade.

After becoming a witness to the myth, an independent dimension that only she can enter.

I still had my doubts about how she could write a world like this, but that didn’t mean I was dissatisfied.

Because it was a world that always kept her safe when she was in danger.

‘There is a condition that you must write at least one mythical scene to exit.’

I never had a hard time finding achievements while I was with Dojin.

And now, Dojin wanted her help.

It was a journey she had stubbornly followed until now.

Thanks to his ability as a witness to myths, he was protected by Dojin and saw and recorded many of his achievements.

As a huge fan of mythology, it was heartbreaking to see the divine beings she knew dying one by one, but more than that, she was amazed to see the mythology being rewritten.

‘He’s a great person.’

Lee Soo-yeon wrote a new legend while watching Do-jin grow rapidly, with strong strength and a will full of confidence that he will never fail.

Who knew?

That he would possess divinity in a human body and be able to lead apostles.

Dojin was accomplishing something that no one else could do.

And Lee Su-yeon joined the journey as a companion and witness.

And now Dojin needed her help.

‘It was the first time I said I didn’t know.’

The fact that even Dojin, who knew everything, didn’t know created fear.

But I had faith that he wouldn’t ask me to do the impossible.

‘I had to overcome it at least once.’

I couldn’t just rely on Dojin’s help forever.

Now, you too are becoming a helpful person.

If I wanted to become one of the proud apostles of Dojin, I had to do this right.

She knows it too.

That I am extremely weak.

That sometimes her presence is detrimental in battle.

Knowing that, she found her own way to help her party members.

Move faster and further than others.

He didn’t shy away from difficult tasks and helped out at the party.

This time it’s different.

It was as if she had a stage on which she could perform.

“Phew.”

Lee Su-yeon took a deep breath and wrote on the record sheet with the ink of truth.

The words from the pile of stones that Julia had read.

-Amut, the god of struggle.

As soon as I wrote that, the space began to shake.

-Who is calling my name?

A voice was heard from far away.

A mad voice that makes your body tremble just by hearing it.

-Why do you wake me by calling my name and desecrate my temple?

My body began to tremble as the voice got closer.

A huge building began to appear before Lee Su-yeon’s eyes, who was trembling like an aspen tree.

-Why are you waking me up when I’m about to forget everything and leave?

It was a huge and splendid structure that was incomparable to the pile of stones.

I felt a gaze from inside that building.

-Are you trying to call me again? That is foolish. If you wake me, disaster will come to you.

-Do you want to cause the Great Advent again?

Lee Su-yeon, who was holding a pen to describe the visible building, hesitated for a moment.

The Great Advent is happening?

If I write down what I see… is that not okay?

It is visible.

The destroyed world.

A scene where numerous other-worldly gods, led by a six-armed other-worldly god, destroy her Earth together with monsters.

A scene where all the awakened beings and gods are eventually killed and destroyed by them.

The Earth is burning, becoming a barren red land where no life can survive, just like this land once did.

It was visible to Lee Soo-yeon’s eyes.

‘no.’

-What a foolish human being. Trying to ruin your entire world because of your own greed.

The hand holding the pen is shaking.

‘no….’

She felt as if a huge voice was weighing her down.

My body is screaming at me to stop.

If I keep going like this, I might collapse.

But Lee Soo-yeon bit her lip.

Blood flows from the lips of the evil man.

She wrote down the temple of Artur, the god of struggle, that she was looking at with her pen, feeling the pungent taste of blood.

In the huge temple, red water flows… .

The environment is filled with countless creatures moving along the red water… .

Tall trees created a unique natural environment.

The walls surrounding it all.

On the walls that seemed impenetrable, creatures stood with weapons in hand.

Beyond the creatures wielding weapons, a gigantic temple is visible.

There was a man with three pairs of arms holding swords, spears and weapons, and she… .

-You’re so cheeky!

“Whoa!”

Lee Su-yeon suddenly stepped back to avoid the flying monster.

But the monster’s six-armed weapon continued to pursue her.

Lee Su-yeon, who had reached a point where she could no longer avoid it, closed her eyes tightly.

Am I going to die like this?

I haven’t even tried anything properly yet.

I haven’t even properly shown what I can do.

There were still many things I wanted to write and see.

Am I going to die like this?

however.

“uh?”

She had her eyes tightly shut and felt strange because she didn’t feel the pain that should have followed.

Lee Su-yeon opened her eyes slightly and saw the broad shoulders standing with their backs turned to her.

“Well done, Suyeon.”

It was Dojin.

The space of the record had disappeared, and Dojin was standing in front of her, engaging in a weapons battle with the six-armed monster she had seen earlier.

It seemed like he had blocked the monster’s attack that was trying to kill Lee Soo-yeon.

-Where the hell do you think you are, you dare come here! I clearly showed you the worst future you will face and warned you! You will face destruction!

The voice that had threatened her shouted from within the space of the record.

Lee Soo-yeon bit her lip after seeing the scene shown by the monster.

“Suyeon, what did that guy show you?”

“… showed me a ruined future. A future where everyone dies to the other world’s god and humanity and the Earth are destroyed.”

At those words, Dojin turned his back on her and shut his mouth.

Lee Soo-yeon couldn’t see Do-jin’s face.

“Don’t believe him. He’s lying. There will never be a future where we are destroyed by the other world’s gods. There will never be a future where the gods kill us either.”

But somehow, I felt confident in Dojin’s voice as he answered with a straight voice.

Instead she saw.

The black dot on Dojin’s palm.

The food of truth.

The palm of Dojin’s hand, which would turn red if he told a lie, was imprinted with that.

Lee Su-yeon knew the power of food better than anyone else.

A deep black that doesn’t waver at all.

Dojin was only telling the truth.

“So don’t be fooled. You did well.”

After finishing speaking, Dojin swung Mjolnir.

Lee Soo-yeon saw it.

Beyond the Dojin standing with his back to her, there stands a giant temple with a six-armed monster.

It was the temple she had seen in the space of records.

If there is anything else.

‘No living thing lives there.’

It was as if the temple itself was dead and had no life whatsoever.

“Who is this otherworldly being?”

“I am Amut, the god of strife. He is a mad god who causes all things in the world he rules to fight against each other. Creatures who are subject to this monster cannot escape the endless hell of fighting even after death.”

“Then the monsters that fought on this land….”

“Yes, they are beings that have already died hundreds of times.”

The reason why the monsters fought constantly.

The reason why they ate and destroyed their corpses.

It was all because of the curse placed upon this Abyss.

A world where you have no choice but to kill your enemies again.

That temple was the space that contained that curse.
