The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 153

Episode 153

Lee Hyun was annoyed by Loki’s noisy chatter next to him.

There’s a guy who doesn’t help in the fight and keeps chattering away.

It’s not like I needed his help in the first place, but his presence was quite annoying during the battle.

Standing in a place that is bothersome, or going into the enemy’s firing range and causing unnecessary fights.

Just by existing, he kept causing fights.

I think it was said that in Norse mythology, it was a being that caused accidents and incidents.

‘It’s annoying.’

But the most annoying thing of all is.

“Why don’t you start telling me now? Who the hell are you? You’re not an ordinary human, are you?”

Ever since I tried to use my power against him a little while ago, his annoying advances have become more intense.

It wasn’t that I was scared of Lee Hyeon’s power.

Rather, it was the opposite.

I approached myself more with interest.

It seems that the saying that God is crazy about fun is not a lie.

“Tsk.”

Lee Hyun ignored him and struck the neck of the god who ruled the Abyss.

He was a guy who resisted, saying he would make a final struggle, but he didn’t have the power to defeat Lee Hyeon.

Lee Hyeon, who killed the god and sealed the Abyss, glared at Loki, who was rushing at him without giving up until the very end.

“Can you turn it off now?”

“I don’t like that.”

“I don’t want to hear people say that I couldn’t conquer it on my own because of you.”

“You’re the type that’s more obsessed with honor than I thought.”

“… … .”

This time too, Lee Hyeon, who had finished conquering the Abyss alone, saw the surroundings change.

It was the process of the Abyss being sealed and returning to the original world.

The reporters will be here soon.

A hero for humanity, a new hope.

People will cry out Lee Hyun’s name.

The more you make your name known, the greater the response will be when you later reveal that you have received His blessings.

however.

“There are fewer people than I thought?”

I felt something strange.

The reporters who should have been arriving soon were nowhere to be seen.

Where did everyone go?

Did something else happen?

No way.

‘I’ve confirmed that there are no pre- and post-war troops.’

What happened?

I naturally picked up my phone and checked the news.

-Kim Do-jin, Conquest of the Abyss of Despair.

-When the sealed Abyss disappeared, the Temple of the God Slayer appeared.

– Shinjalja Kim Do-jin is chosen by Mjolnir.

It was full of stories about Kim Do-jin.

News that Kim Do-jin conquered the Abyss of Despair that no one had conquered before.

A human who was neither blessed by God nor an apostle of anyone conquered the Abyss.

It is said that he even had the choice of Mjolnir and the ownership of the temple.

“also….”

Joy welled up in Lee Hyeon’s eyes as he read the newspaper.

‘Kim Do-jin is walking the same path as me.’

A human being who has not received direct blessings from God, but who undergoes separate trials and continues to go through them.

I never thought I was the only person like that.

I believed that there must be someone who walks a similar path.

I felt it the moment I first saw Kim Do-jin.

Should we call it telepathy between people who share the same fate?

The path that Lee Hyeon walks is the loneliest path of all.

A path that cannot be told to anyone, and that only you must continue to carry.

Conquering the Abyss alone without the help of a god and killing the enemies that come.

It was never easy.

The same would apply to Dojin.

‘Is the author also chosen by him?’

You will know when you meet him in person.

The secret that Kim Do-jin has.

You can also find out which god tested him.

“Loki.”

Lee Hyun called out to Loki, who was following him.

“Is this the first time you’ve called me first?”

“Did you say you were close with Kim Do-jin?”

“… Well, we’re not on bad terms.”

“How did we meet?”

“Huh? Are you curious?”

Lee Hyun looked at Loki smiling.

“Tsk, that’s enough. I guess I’ll just find out for myself.”

It would be quicker to figure it out on my own than to get involved with Loki.

Lee Hyun set out to find the shrine that Kim Do Jin had claimed.

* * *

‘This is a bit confusing.’

I saw a surprise guest come to the temple.

Loki and Lee Hyeon next to him.

I never thought we would meet here like this.

A doll of the Creator God that was later possessed by the Creator God.

The most dangerous human being who must be killed someday.

An unknown being came to the temple.

“It’s been a while, Dojin.”

“… That’s right. What is the hero of humanity doing here?”

“Mr. Dojin, I came here because I have something to ask you. Would it be possible for us to talk about it separately?”

“it’s okay.”

I asked Lee Soo-yeon and Jang Man-cheol to take care of Loki, and then I headed to the guest room inside the temple with Lee Hyeon.

“The temple is really big. Is this the temple you obtained by conquering the Abyss of Despair?”

“Yes.”

“For whom is this temple?”

On the way to the guest room, Lee Hyeon asked me a question with an incomprehensible smile.

“Of course it wouldn’t be the temple of Sekhmet that you conquered together.”

When I didn’t answer, I asked first.

“yes.”

“Then is this a temple for Mr. Dojin himself?”

“It’s not for anyone else.”

“Is that so?”

I wonder if my answer wasn’t satisfactory.

Hyun Lee, who had been keeping his mouth shut for a moment, suddenly asked.

“How did you conquer the Abyss of Despair?”

“Is that what you came here to ask?”

“Yes. It’s important. It was the same last time we attacked the Flame Cave together. You moved as if you knew everything inside the Abyss. Didn’t you?”

I looked at Lee Hyeon.

It was persistent.

How can I put it, it even feels desperate.

Was this your original personality?

no.

In my previous life, I was a person who maintained a strange distance from people.

Always a polite smile, a bright face, and polite speech even to children.

The distance that was obvious to everyone was not excessive, so it actually made the other person feel very comfortable, and even I, who didn’t trust anyone, was able to plan a party with him.

The current Lee Hyun-do is keeping all of that, but, what should I say?

There was something subtle about his expression now.

A subtle expression that seems neither smiling nor angry.

like.

‘It looks like you’re wearing a mask.’

I opened my mouth, wary of Lee Hyeon.

“I can’t tell you.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes. Because it’s confidential.”

“I see. I understand. Everyone has secrets they want to keep hidden from others.”

“Is that what you came here to ask?”

“Yes. I’m curious as to why Dojin is different from other people.”

“Isn’t Mr. Lee Hyun different?”

“… … .”

Lee Hyeon, with his mouth shut, smiled strangely.

“Yes, we are different. We are different people from the beginning.”

A moment of silence.

“How could they be the same? Unlike other humans, we can have god-like powers without the blessing of a god.”

“… … .”

“We are different from ordinary humans who cannot do anything without God’s blessing. If we think about it, aren’t we the new human race that is fit for the new era?”

The Lee Hyun I know would never have said something like that.

At least he never once said anything belittling about other people.

‘No, maybe he was originally like this.’

I’ve been hiding my true nature until now.

To become a hero for humanity.

“Is that so?”

“I guess you don’t agree?”

“Yes. Is there anything special about it? I just got a little lucky.”

“That’s what’s special. You have better luck and have gained something special that other people don’t have.”

It felt like the pupils looking at me were splitting vertically.

But then, as if it was a momentary illusion, the pupils soon returned to their normal shape.

“What special thing did Mr. Lee Hyeon gain?”

“…Like Dojin, I also have confidentiality.”

“Have all your questions been answered?”

Lee Hyeon nodded.

“Everything has been resolved. There is something special about Dojin.”

He smiled and looked around the door while standing in front of the guest room.

“I don’t think I need to be here anymore.”

“So you’re done with your work.”

“yes.”

Lee Hyeon nodded and went back the way he came.

I thought as I watched Lee Hyeon’s back moving away.

Those thoughts and spirits that I consider special.

It was similar to that of the Creator God.

As if he had consumed me.

‘No, maybe the Creator chose Lee Hyeon because he was the person who most resembled him.’

On the outside, he appears more righteous than anyone else, but on the inside, he is an unknowable being like a human.

A lot has changed since my previous life.

Lee Hyun’s movements will also change.

Depending on how he moves, my response will also have to change.

“Promise.”

“Did you call?”

Promise, who had been hiding like a shadow in the darkness, revealed herself.

‘He’s definitely good.’

I couldn’t feel any movement at all.

I just called you because I believed you would be near me.

“What do you think?”

“That guy?”

“okay.”

A pure being born not long ago from the Abyss.

If Promise had sealed his powers for fun only, wouldn’t he have noticed Lee Hyun’s strange feelings?

“I hate that guy. He’s so unpleasant. He feels like bugs are crawling on him.”

“okay?”

“Dojin is close with that human?”

I shook my head.

“at all.”

Rather, it is the enemy I must kill.

An enemy more difficult than the Lord.

Promise, who was looking at the place where Lee Hyun disappeared, spoke to me.

“Dojin, be careful.”

“what?”

“That guy, he was thinking about killing Dojin earlier.”

“…Can you feel it?”

“Yeah. When you said I was lucky, I considered pulling out the window.”

“But why didn’t you pick it?”

At my words, Promise thumped her chest.

“Because I’m here! The guy noticed that I was there.”

“…thanks.”

It must have been when I had the illusion that the bastard’s pupils were slit vertically.

If that’s really the case… .

‘I have to be careful of Lee Hyeon from now on.’

I clenched my fist.

His clenched fists turned white.

* * *

As soon as Loki entered the temple separately from Dojin, he saw Lee Hyeon coming out.

“What? It’s over already?”

“… … .”

Lee Hyun’s expression was frozen coldly.

“Hoo, what a look.”

Lee Hyun passed Loki and went out of the temple.

Loki followed him outside as if he was used to it.

How long did it take?

Lee Hyun, standing tall, looked back at Loki.

“Are you looking this way now?”

“You said you would give me anything I wish for, right?”

“Oh, oh? Oh, if I hold your hand? Of course. As you said, I’m a god of the past, but I do have some authority.”

Lee Hyun shut his mouth tightly after hearing Loki’s giggling words.

His head briefly touched Kim Do-jin’s shrine.

“Then let’s hold hands.”

At the sight of Lee Hyeon reaching out his hand, Loki unconsciously took a step back.

“Oh? What’s the wind blowing?”

“…Do I have to tell you that?”

“There’s no need for that. I was just curious. You weren’t interested at all until just now. Wouldn’t you be curious to know what kind of change in your feelings has occurred?”

“You don’t have to know. Aren’t you and I holding hands because we need each other?”

Loki chuckled at Lee Hyun’s cold words.

“It’s really similar.”

“… … .”

“Okay! Let’s hold hands. What do you want?”

Lee Hyun, who kept his mouth shut for a moment, glared at Loki.

“The Destruction of the God Murderer Kim Do-jin.”

The corner of Loki’s mouth twisted at those words.

“Hahaha, that’s interesting. That’s a really interesting suggestion.”

Loki took Hyun’s hand with a devilish smile.
