The President is Going to America! - Chapter 134



Only Noblemtl

134. Outrageous innocence

Damn it!

The body of the named monster, Nihil, collapsed.

The guy who was buried in the cold and frozen solid was already out of breath, but the finish had to be done.

Oh Hyun-seong cut the guy in half, leaving only the two pieces of the body lying there.

“Shall I turn your body into ashes so that you can never come back to life?”

Blea, who came close to Dongsil, said.

After living quietly for so long, it looks like he’s finally letting out his frustrations, which is quite a relief.

But Oh Hyun-seong shook his head.

“No, we have to retrieve the body. There’s still work to be done.”

Anyway, once I finish that ‘business’, there won’t be any more corpses left behind.

According to the regulations, the corpse of the named monster, Nihil, should have been sent to the storage facility in Seoul.

As had been agreed upon with Kang Seok in advance, the dead guy was not to be taken to the morgue.

“Ugh… It stings.”

Oh Hyun-seong frowned at the sudden sharp pain.

It’s a pain in the side that was cut quite deeply.

Fortunately, there was no serious problem with the organ, but significant bleeding was occurring from the cut surface that was cleanly cut out along with the space.

‘My clothes are all wet. I have to throw them away.’

He looked down with a dry expression.

The top and pants are dyed red from the blood that has poured out excitedly.

The amount of bleeding was enough to make a normal person lose consciousness long ago, and it was quite a burden even for an awakened person like him.

“Should I help you?”

Then Blea asked, lighting a fire on her finger.

It was just for a moment, but the firepower was enough to make Oh Hyun-seong’s bangs flutter.

“… Is there anyone you want to catch?”

Blea pouted at his embarrassed reaction and put the fire away.

“You’ve lost your beginner’s mind too.”

“If that’s the case, I want to forget about it and live on.”

Actually, I have received help from her several times in the past.

With nowhere to go for treatment and the immediate operation in jeopardy, he borrowed her fire to stop the bleeding.

But being burned by the guy’s fire was never a pleasant experience.

For a moment, I felt the pain and emotions of the monsters being burned by Blea.

‘It was a good thing I prepared it in advance.’

Oh Hyun-seong took something out of his bosom.

It was not a crop grown in the fields, but a medicinal herb grown in the caves of Mulz.

He put a clump of grass that was emitting a faint light into his mouth and swallowed it.

The bitter taste from the juice that came out with every chew filled my mouth.

As it was not a common crop, it was grown in an environment with no pollutants at all, but although it still had no taste, the effect was excellent.

Not long after I swallowed it all, the bleeding quickly decreased, and when I took my hand off the wound, it had completely stopped, not even a drop of blood was leaking out.

The powerful hemostatic effect of herbs.

‘It’s a rare grade, but it has this level of effect. It definitely has a unique quality.’

Since it was his first time using the herb himself, Oh Hyeon-seong nodded in admiration.

When it comes to things like curing diseases or healing wounds, the herbs in the caves seem to be more effective than common crops of the same class.

If crops grown in fields are much more effective, tasty, and versatile, then the items gathered in caves are generally specialized in one area.

‘The wounds aren’t completely healed, but… I’ll take care of that later. For now, let’s start with this side.’

Oh Hyun-seong turned his head and approached the monster’s corpse.

And then he ate the soul that was left there.

Named Monster, Nihil,

It was a being of a different class from most boss monsters, and the power of its soul was also enormous.

Thanks to this, the guy’s soul was absorbed into him and converted into an incredible amount of magical power that even an epic-grade potato could not match.

“Whew, nice.”

Oh Hyeon-seong opened his eyes, having successfully absorbed the large amount of magical power.

Then, three higher spirits appeared at his feet in visualized form.

Fox, otter, puppy.

In the middle of this bloody battlefield, Oh Hyeon-seong, who found himself holding a set of three strangely shaped animals in his arms, turned around.

“Let’s go home now.”

*

The fight is over.

All the roots within the operation area were eliminated, and all the monsters of the legions that had rushed in were defeated.

Although not all of the roots in the northern part of the Korean peninsula have disappeared, with a few still remaining in the northernmost part, the largest colony that had appeared suddenly and was expanding rapidly was eliminated.

This alone is certainly an encouraging achievement.

But the biggest significance here was that the military’s damage was minimized to the point where it seemed almost non-existent.

Even though they were attacked by the legion on a large scale, they suffered an absurdly small number of losses.

Even the minimum number that the command center had assumed would result in much more equipment loss and bloodshed among the hunters.

The hunters of the special forces were also prepared to take damage.

“Okay… Wait a minute…!”

“Wow!”

Jang Seo-jun, who was lifted up in a flash, soared high into the air.

Indeed, the hunters’ hangares differ in height.

After the battle, he was the one receiving the most attention even in the midst of the noisy atmosphere.

“Is this the birth of a new hero?”

Oh Hyun-seong, who was watching the scene from afar, smiled faintly.

Then, Kang-seok came over and offered me coffee.

Oh Hyun-seong accepted the paper cup with a slightly hesitant look.

“Absolute Poetry is an ability that cannot be hidden, no matter how hard you try. Unless you completely exclude it from the battlefield.”

“Yeah, it’ll get to the other guys’ ears soon.”

“I know.”

Kang Seok nodded.

He knew full well that agents from other countries would come up with nonsense.

It is true that the risk is high, but it will not be easily overcome.

Jang Seo-jun, who is already on the verge of a breakthrough promotion.

We were planning to attach a separate person and take all possible protective measures.

Then Oh Hyeon-seong, who was listening to his story, said.

“But if a newbie who just joined receives such special treatment, wouldn’t the hunters who have been with the company for years be dissatisfied?”

“If it’s an organization made up of people, it’s impossible for there to be no complaints. But we’re different from ordinary organizations, so there’s no need to worry.”

Just as the Management Bureau and the Security Bureau operate under a completely different system from the civil service organization, the Special Forces also had a completely different system and culture from the general military.

The special forces were run entirely on merit.

Unlike normal organizations, in the hunter society, skills are clearly revealed, so this kind of culture is inevitable.

This is because hunters have an instinctive tendency to pursue greater power.

Even though the capabilities of the commander and the capabilities of the combatants are different, that is why all the high-ranking members within the special forces are high-ranking hunters.

Hunters had a very strong tendency not to listen to hunters who were inferior to them.

On the other hand, if there was a hunter who was superior in skill, he would gladly acknowledge him.

It was as if even world-class soccer players with overflowing egos became docile in front of a legendary coach.

The reason why Kang Seok was able to lead a large organization without any opposition was because he was an idol to all hunters of the current generation.

“I don’t know how he managed to do it, even though it was called training… Even without the ability of the Absolute Time, Jang Seo-jun has already reached the level of a high-ranking hunter, level 10. Furthermore, there is no one who would not acknowledge his miraculous role in this operation, so he will not be held back by low-quality jealousy or envy.”

“Well, that’s good.”

Oh Hyun-seong sipped the coffee he was holding in his hand.

And then my body started to tremble.

I tasted it because I had the good intentions to bring it, but as expected, it tasted terrible.

On the other hand, Kang Seok drank his coffee without any fuss and emptied his paper cup.

“…what happened to your tongue?”

“what?”

“No, nothing.”

“Anyway… this time, I owe you something. I have to admit it.”

Kang Seok said, looking away.

The existence of Jang Seo-jun that he discovered will bring about a great change in all future operations.

Not only that, but by eliminating Nihil in this battle, Lastus lost his right arm.

Even setting aside all other casualties from this battle, the loss of just one Nihil was a massive blow to his legions.

He had no choice but to admit that all of this was thanks to Oh Hyeon-seong.

“But… Don’t even think about coming and going like this again. I can’t stand seeing a person whose identity is unknown wandering around during such a sensitive time. Then I’ll throw you in military prison right away…”

“Don’t worry. If I ever have to come across the border again, I’ll do so legally.”

At that moment, a voice suddenly interrupted.

Baek Ji-soo, who had come before anyone knew it, stood next to Oh Hyeon-seong.

“The permits you gave me without much thought can be rejected on the spot.”

“If necessary, just get the President’s approval and that’ll be it. You just faithfully defend the North like you’ve been doing.”

Snap!

At that moment, a thick tendon was caught on Kang Seok’s forehead.

Then, Oh Hyeon-seong, who was standing in the middle, pushed Kang-seok and Baek Ji-su to the sides and dropped them.

“You guys have fought so hard until now, do you still have the energy to fight again?”

Ddddddd!

Fortunately, the timing was good.

Just then, a black helicopter appeared above their heads.

Now, it was time to leave this place.

*

The helicopter that came to pick them up is ready to take off.

The plan was to load all the luggage that had been prepared in advance and hitch it to Oh Hyeon-seong’s vehicle.

Baek Ji-soo got on the helicopter first, and Oh Hyeon-seong also tried to get on after her.

“Okay, just wait a minute!”

At that moment, there was a voice calling him.

Jang Seo-jun running towards us, panting heavily.

“I kept looking for you!”

“Why are you looking for me? I already said hello.”

“I… really appreciate it!”

Jang Seo-jun bowed his head deeply.

It was a heartfelt expression of gratitude towards Oh Hyun-seong and Baek Ji-su.

Things he will never forget in his life.

I’ve been really struggling with what to say in the end, but this is the best I can say for now.

Then Oh Hyun-seong, who was smiling, got on the helicopter.

“Uh…! Can I see you again?”

“Maybe. We’ll see each other again when we get the chance.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded.

And then he said it on top of the rising helicopter.

“Then, please take good care of this place.”

He retired, turning his back on the battlefield where he had spent many years.

But that doesn’t mean we headed to another world completely unrelated to the battlefield.

In the end, if the system works well and the hunters on the battlefield can stand firm, his peaceful farming life will continue.

That’s why Oh Hyun-seong only hoped that his choice to stay here would turn out well.

*

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

Noya, who was chopping firewood, said with a smile.

The appearance of a welcome guest.

“How have you been?”

“Of course, but that’s…”

Thud!

Oh Hyeon-seong, who had approached, put down the corpse of the monster he had been carrying.

The corpse of the named monster, Nihil, fell with a heavy sound.

Noya couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sight of him radiating a distinct presence even though he was already dead.

“I guess… something absurd will come out, yes.”
