The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 50

Episode 050
Loki, who walked out of the distorted space, looked at me, the masked man, and Jormungand, and then smiled.
“I’m busy. “How long has it been since the Abyss was closed and you are already hunting down apostates?”
“Are you going to help me?”
“The price must be a little high, right?”
“Then stay still. “Your son is busy right now.”
Loki’s eyes turned to Jormungandr, who was dealing with other apostates.
“It seems so.”
Hearing the boy’s giggling voice, the masked man’s eyes became sharp.
“Loki… .”
“Oh, that an apostate knows my face. “This is unexpected.”
“Damn it. Was he an apostle of Loki?”
The masked man’s eyes turned to me.
I didn’t bother to answer.
But you are Loki’s apostle.
That sounds terrible.
Of all the apostles I met in my past life, the one I hated the most was Loki’s apostle.
As expected from the people Loki chose, none of them were normal.
Was it because there was no answer?
“shit… .”
The masked man looked at Loki and me alternately.
It was clear that lowering one’s posture and looking at people’s opinions was a way to survive, and that I was playing a crayon.
Loki didn’t bother to intervene in such a situation.
Rather, I was enjoying this situation where the other person misunderstood.
“Do you want to run away?”
The masked man’s eyes twitched at my question.
“Can you do that?”
The guy looked at me.
The moment I nodded, I was ready to run away.
The problem is that I have no intention of keeping this guy alive.
A masked man who is a follower and leader of Azur.
I don’t know much about his exact identity.
But I knew one thing.
The cult leader who believed in Azur was one of the key figures who caused the Second Advent by opening several Abyss as if he had waited after Azur descended.
Before the Second Advent, it was mainly Odin and the sun god Ra who dealt with the apostates of the gods of the other world, including Azur.
While the gods and humans, who had become complacent due to the peace that lasted for several years after the First Advent, were keeping each other’s power in check, the apostates were secretly operating in the shadows, opening several Abyss.
As a result, several other gods descended through the torn dimension, and the resulting distortion of the dimension led to the Third Advent.
In the end, both the 2nd and 3rd Advents occurred because of the negligence of the gods and the sabotage of the apostates.
That’s stupid.
They split up among themselves because they think it’s a little safer.
It is also the case that we neglect the opening of the Abyss because we are preoccupied with the conflict of interest.
The reason I waited for them here was to kill the masked person in front of me.
To minimize the damage from the second Advent in the future.
‘I can’t stop everything on my own, but shouldn’t I try to do as much as I can?’
So there was no reason to save the masked person in front of me.
In my past life, I heard from Lee Soo-yeon that Odin had killed all the apostates who were the main culprits of the Great Advent.
I guess I was one of them.
‘If I kill this guy, the future I knew may change.’
So I thought about it for a while.
Is killing interest really the right choice?
However, when I saw him sacrificing others who followed him to save his own life, I gave up that shallow sympathy.
This guy is trash that will never be rehabilitated.
The way they sacrificed the lives of others for their own was very similar to certain beings I loathe.
“I don’t have time, so speak quickly. “Do you want to die, or do you want to survive by selling your comrades?”
I approached the guy.
“Is this really something you can live with?”
“That will depend on your answer.”
I have absolutely no intention of saving him.
I just plan on using it until the end.
I saw the Masked Man and the surviving apostates.
There are now a total of 4 living apostates, excluding the masked person.
“Don’t even think about telling a lie. “There are many people besides you who would testify.”
“… … .”
The masked man, who was looking at me and Loki, took a step back.
“… “Trust Loki’s apostle?”
“If you don’t want to believe it, just die.”
“Fuck.”
The masked man swore and ran backwards.
It seemed like he didn’t want to trust Loki or die.
However, where he tried to escape, Jormungand, who had already blocked his escape, was waiting.
“Ugh!”
Okay!
“Kwaaaak!”
When Jormungand bit the body with its mouth, the body changed for a moment and the other apostate who was still alive was bitten by Jormungand instead of the masked one.
An apostate whose body was torn apart.
Again.
The sight of him using others to survive for himself was disgusting to the end.
“You fucking idiots! do something! “You bastards!”
The masked person shouted evilly and clasped his hands together.
phut!
With a huge explosion sound, the bodies of the three remaining apostates twisted.
“Grrrrrrrrr!”
“Wow! “Kyo, Kyojuniyim!”
“please… .”
The bodies of those who were foaming blood became hideous.
A monster that was one head larger than the giant monster that first got out of the van glared at me, drooling.
“Hoo, were you hiding this skill?”
Loki looked at this with interest and his eyes lit up.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, the masked man who turned the apostate who had just been human into a monster immediately ran back.
However, it was not that difficult to kill an enemy who turned his back on him and ran away.
“Kerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
A monster blocks my path.
“Move.”
I took a picture of the head of the first monster that attacked me with my spear.
Phew!
He then pulled out the Dragon Slayer and cut off the head of the second monster that attacked him.
As for the other one, Jormungand bit its ankle.
“Kaaaaaaah!!!”
After taking care of the two monsters in an instant, I chased after the fleeing masked man.
There is only one thing left now.
“Give up now. “You piece of trash.”
It was so disgusting that other people used him not only as a meat shield, but even by putting parasites in his head, while still considering his own life as precious.
“Shit!”
The masked person with his hand in his bosom threw a glass bottle.
Pow!
My face became hot from the poisonous scent that assaulted my nose.
It’s so poisonous that just smelling it makes you grimace.
It was all too familiar to me.
‘Hydra’s poison?’
Why does this guy have Hydra poison?
Surely I killed the Hydra?
[Resists strong poison.]
[Poison damage is reduced by 90%.]
But the thought did not last long.
“Cough!”
Even though I resisted a lot, I felt like my heart was being torn apart.
Even after reducing it by 90%, I still feel this pain.
If it weren’t for the ‘nine-headed viper’, he might have been on the verge of death right after taking charge.
“… “It has a pretty good poison.”
“Uh, how… ?”
I took advantage of the guy’s confusion and threw the hammer of Hephaestus at his thigh.
Crack!
“Kwaaaak!”
The masked man rolled forward, his thighs bent in a direction they should never have been.
Was it because there were no apostates left?
I couldn’t use the body-changing technique like before.
“Cough, this bastard is bothering me until the end.”
I could feel the blood vessels near my face becoming prominent, perhaps due to the poison.
“Say, save me! If I tell you what I already knew, they will save my life… .”
“You say you can’t trust me because I’m an apostle of Loki?”
“I’ll trust you. Because I will believe it… .”
It’s like he’s struggling to survive while killing everyone else.
I wanted to kill myself right away, but there was still information I needed to get.
“okay. “Where are the other religious leaders besides you?”
“How did you… ?”
“Speak quickly. “Before I change my mind.”
“Ji, Cheonwangbong Peak of Jiri Mountain! “Hide there!”
“There’s one more person.”
“Well, that’s… .”
“Speak quickly.”
“The leader of the DeBauchi cult is hiding in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do. The Abyss will open soon… .”
I already knew that believers of the other world god Yamyeonggoe were operating in secret in Yangju near Cheorwon.
But DeBauch?
The followers of Dbauch, the otherworldly god of corruption, are there?
It was three years later, in Japan, that they became active in earnest.
Even if they were to gather forces, they would do so in Japan, so why are they in Cheorwon?
“Isn’t it the nightclub in Yangju?”
“Well, there is no religious leader there… all.”
“Are you lying?”
“Ji, it’s real! I only have the truth… .”
The guy’s eyes wavered.
If nothing else, it was a lie to say that there was no religious leader.
“Then, let me ask you one last question. “How did you get this hydra poison?”
“Well, that’s… .”
“I get it. “I guess I can figure that out separately.”
“So are you letting me live?”
no.
“I changed my mind.”
“This dog is a dog! I said it all! “I told you!”
puck!
He hit the struggling masked man on the head with a hammer.
At first, I even thought about keeping it alive.
Because we needed information about apostates.
It might be beneficial to keep him alive for a long time in order to determine the truth of the information he just said.
However, when I saw the guy’s actions of throwing his subordinates away as bait, a bad memory came to mind and I changed my mind.
I needed to thoroughly wipe the blood that had spattered from my face, in case this damn roundworm got into it.
‘I don’t know how the Hydra’s poison was obtained, but it might have something to do with the reason why the Hydra was dying alone in the Abyss.’
The answer will be found someday even if you don’t have to hear it from this guy.
At that time, I heard applause from the side.
“bravo. “It’s neat.”
Loki came over and clapped his hands.
“I also gained unexpected information. Thanks to you, I found out the locations of other apostates.”
“I didn’t know you wouldn’t help me until the end.”
“You know I’m expensive. “I can’t help you for free.”
Loki, who was smiling sweetly, narrowed his eyes and stared at me.
“I’m asking this seriously, don’t you want to become my apostle?”
“I have no thoughts.”
Loki is interested in me now.
This is me, who personally kills gods, something ordinary people would never do.
‘He’s the type of guy who will stop paying attention as soon as he loses interest.’
If you become an apostle and become someone who can move as you please, you will quickly lose interest.
Of course, I have no intention of becoming an apostle of God before that.
“Tsk, that’s a shame. “I’m trying to scout seriously.”
“Stop talking about unnecessary things.”
Loki licked his lips with regret.
“In return for giving me good information, I will take care of this place. “Just like last time.”
“No, there is no need.”
“what? But if I make this much noise, the gods will find out, right?”
“are you okay. “That’s why I did it.”
He did this so that he would know that the person who killed Azur and the apostates was the same person who killed Hephaestus.
It was to further increase my value.
Unless Loki says it himself, it will be a while before they realize it was me who did this.
“It’s better to let people know.”
If my actions are revealed later, my stock price will rise even further.
Loki smiled even more happily at those words.
“I like your answer. So what do you want? “I think there’s something you want from me.”
“There must have been an emergency meeting among the gods about Hephaestus’ death, right?”
Loki’s eyebrows twitched.
“Don’t pretend not to know. “Because we all know that it’s not because of Jormungand that you came so impatiently.”
Loki, who has a heavy butt, had one reason to come.
It means that there were a number of cases that were interesting enough to make his butt stand up.
“Ha, this… . “I feel dirty because I feel like they are reading my mind.”
Loki looked at me and smiled.
Even though he said it was dirty, he looked satisfied.
“So you’re not going to talk?”
“Could it be that you like that part and are following along?”
“Then I’ll make it more fun, so tell me. “What was said at this meeting, and which gods participated in the meeting?”
