Episode 177. Mind Control Shuttle
After obtaining information about the forest + ice terrain dungeon, abbreviated as ‘Ice Forest Dungeon’, from the broker.

I headed straight to Taebaek.

“Phew.”

I leaned back on the train seat heading to Gangwon-do and collected my thoughts.

‘You’ll do fine without me, right?’

The situation surrounding them was very hectic.

The biggest reason was that he formed an alliance with Joo Chang-ik.

Because I had to merge my existing allies, such as Matap and Geumwa Group, with the new alliance, Liberty.

‘Because the power of the religious order is too strong for us to fight separately.’

Because of this, various discussions were taking place among the working-level staff.

【In that situation, Eugene is going into the dungeon alone! This is too much, ugh.】

‘You just connected us. What else can I do for you?’

【still!】

‘The one who feels sorry should do the work. Right?’

【Tch.】

In fact, I too can participate in that discussion and have a say.

If that happens, they will be able to seize considerable power after destroying the Gaia Church.

But, as I said to Joo Chang-ik.

‘My interest is only in revenge.’

I didn’t really want to pay attention to what happened after that.

Rather, it was more profitable to use that as bait and pass the work on to others.

That’s why I was able to go on a dungeon crawl to level up.

Well, if I could just upgrade the ‘Frost Giant Leather Jacket’ to Legendary grade this time, it would definitely be of great help in fighting the Gaia Cult guys.

‘The effect… You said that the ‘Blessing of Enlargement’ was sealed?’

We only know the name so far, but it is likely a skill that makes you grow bigger.

It was expected that it would be quite useful.

And, also… .

‘The importance of this dungeon climb is higher than I thought.’

【Uhm? Why?】

‘There are those religious people.’

This dungeon was introduced to me by the dungeon broker.

The more I learned about this place, the more suspicious things I found.

I looked out the window of the train that had already started moving and thought about what I had researched.

‘The Ice Forest Dungeon has not been officially reported.’

When a dungeon appears, its discoverer is basically obligated to report the dungeon to the Hunter Management Bureau.

Well, honestly, it’s a law that’s only effective in the case of dungeons that occur in local areas… .

‘It’s strange that there’s no report about this dungeon being conquered by the Gaia Church.’

It was even stranger that they were trying to secretly conquer such a dungeon by themselves.

【Huhhhhhh.】

Frill covered his head with both hands as if it was difficult, but honestly, the result was obvious.

‘I wonder if there is something that can be called a holy relic this time too.’

A while ago, in Incheon, I led a suicide squad and stole what they called a ‘holy relic’.

And that ‘holy relic’ contained considerable energy, so Metheus was trying to figure out how to utilize it… Anyway.

The important thing is that this time, there is a high possibility that they have obtained information that something like that appears in the Ice Forest Dungeon.

“So, I have to make some trouble.”

Now you don’t have to pretend to be friendly with them.

Because it’s different from the past when you had to worry about your life if you got caught by them.

That’s why.

There was no need to miss this good opportunity to get revenge on those guys.

【Now that I hear it, it sounds like it might be true…?】

“That’s right.”

In addition to upping my specs, I can sabotage their work and even get additional information.

Aren’t you going to do this?

It was a problem that didn’t even need to be worried about.

While I was talking to Frill and organizing my thoughts.

“brother!”

“Are you here?”

“Yes. Oh my, what did I eat wrong yesterday…?”

Yoon Ji-ho, who had gone out to run an errand for a while, came back with an embarrassed smile.

That’s right.

This time I wasn’t alone in my dungeon crawl.

Since there’s an impending clash with the Gaia Cult, I brought along someone who might be helpful.

Yoon Ji-ho sat down next to me and opened his mouth.

“Brother Eugene.”

“why?”

“Now, I can be of help to you, hyung.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

Yoon Ji-ho is my guardian, bound to the “Guardian Contract”.

There, thanks to “Judgment”, I started to believe in Gaia.

‘I don’t know if there was any synergy with the “Hero of Justice” trait, but….’

Thanks to this, Yun Ji-ho, who found a compromise between Gaia and me, gained a special ability.

Under the name of ‘Eugene Sect’, we were able to attract the followers of the Gaia Church to our side.

‘It’s easier to think of it as a mind control ability.’

It was obvious that it would be much more efficient to make them our allies and divide our enemies than to kill all the believers in sight.

However, Yoon Ji-ho seemed quite unconfident.

“I’m only a 6-star player… … .”

The reason is, ‘because it’s weak’.

I was already a 7-star hunter, but it seemed like he was having a hard time getting to 6-star with my help.

“It’s okay. It’s not just about brute force; there are things only you can do.”

“…Is that so?”

“That’s right. Besides, you’re not weak either.”

That was the truth.

A 6-star hunter is never something you can ignore wherever you go.

Yoon Ji-ho’s growth rate was also surprisingly fast.

‘Well, I’m a little faster than that, though.’

The speed just fades when I become the comparison group.

Yoon Ji-ho’s face brightened a little more.

“Thank you, Eugene!”

“What. If we fight those guys later, their minds will be big… big. Please persuade them well.”

“Just leave it to me!”

Yoon Ji-ho shows off his confidence by pounding his chest with his fist.

Rather than worrying about what I could do on my own, it was much better to see someone who was confident.

【I feel bad for Jiho!】

‘Why again?’

【Eugene thinks Jiho is a mind control shuttle!】

‘no.’

【no?】

‘… … I guess so?’

【You’re a bad piece of trash, Eugene!!!!】

Frill shouted at me and swore at me.

what….

‘… … .’

I didn’t bother to answer.

That’s what I brought you here for in the first place, so what’s wrong with handling it as a shuttle?

* * *

Arrived in Taebaek.

There, my father was there waiting for me.

“father.”

“Is Eugene here?”

“yes.”

The reason was nothing special.

Because the headquarters of the ‘Red Blade’ guild controlled by my father was nearby.

Since the route was right, I decided to borrow my father’s help since I was already here.

‘I’ll also check out the Red Blade Guild’s power.’

They may not be as weak as the Red Hunters who were always PKing, but I also wanted to know exactly how strong they were.

“This way?”

“Hello! My name is Yoon Ji-ho, Eugene’s younger brother!”

“Nice to meet you.”

I asked my father, who was shaking hands with Yoon Ji-ho.

“Where are the Red Blade Guild members?”

“They told me to go to the dungeon location first. They’re not the kind of people who would walk around the streets with pride.”

“Oh, I see.”

It seemed like my father had succeeded in gaining complete control of the Red Blade Guild.

Well, what can we do when an 8-star hunter invades?

And then my father added:

“They are being rehabilitated. We must prevent them from committing more crimes.”

Even though they are criminals, we are cracking down on them to prevent them from doing that again.

“They said that if we destroy the Gaia Church, they would be brought out into the open, so everyone followed without much resistance.”

They say they are also giving appropriate carrots there.

‘Hmm. Honestly, I don’t really care.’

Personally, it didn’t bother me at all that they were criminals.

If you can just lend a helping hand in destroying the Gaia Cult, that would be enough.

However, if carrots could boost their morale, that wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

So, I expressed my heartfelt thanks to my father.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“No. It’s for my son.”

My heart suddenly ached.

“Okay. Then shall we go?”

It was nothing special.

So we moved to where the Ice Forest Dungeon was located.

* * *

The entrance to the Ice Forest dungeon was created in a very remote location.

We walked silently along a path that didn’t even seem like a road.

“I wonder how the first discoverer discovered this… It’s amazing how it was discovered.”

Yoon Ji-ho’s statement breaking the silence.

“I know.”

Agreed.

What on earth was the purpose of coming to such a dangerous place where you never know when a monster might pop out?

“Anyway, if you go here, you’ll see the Red Blade Guild members gathered at the dungeon entrance, right? The sect guys will be entering the dungeon.”

“that’s right.”

Yoon Ji-ho checked the situation again, wondering if he wanted to talk a little more.

“And when I meet the church members, rather than fighting right away, I─”

“for a moment.”

But then, my father raised his hand and stopped us.

Then my father opens his mouth with a serious expression.

“It looks like a battle is going on.”

Accordingly, I also tried to focus my energy on the front.

‘This is….’

A subtle flow of magical power was transmitted through the air.

A faint but sharp gust of air touches my senses.

“That’s right. Isn’t this the Red Blade Guild?”

“…maybe.”

The battle will probably take place at the entrance to the Ice Forest dungeon.

The only people who should be there at the moment are members of the Red Blade Guild.

“I wonder if there was an internal strife….”

“…I need to increase my speed.”

“All right.”

I wasn’t sure what it was exactly, but I knew it wasn’t a good thing.

I met my father’s eyes and picked up the pace.

“Huh? Brother Eugene? Brother, father? What… do you feel…?”

Yoon Ji-ho looked puzzled as if he didn’t feel anything.

“Just follow me.”

“yep!”

There was no need to answer.

That’s the question, it will be answered when you arrive.

So we ran quickly and arrived at the entrance to the Ice Forest dungeon deep in the mountains.

There….

“You criminals, how dare you! In the name of the goddess, I will punish you all! “Holy Fist”!”

“St. Auror!”

“Don’t be scared! Kill all those fucking hypocrites!!!”

“”jitterbug”!”

“Triple Shot!”

The Gaia Cult and the Red Blade Guild were fighting.

“…Gaia?”

This was unexpected.

I thought it was more likely that there was some internal strife within the Red Blade for some reason rather than a battle with the sect members.

My father muttered when he saw that.

“I must have gone into the dungeon.”

“I went in and for some reason I didn’t come out.”

“I see. Anyway, let’s sort out the situation first.”

“yes.”

Whatever it was, the first priority was to sort out the situation.

I couldn’t just let them fight like this.

however.

“Damn it! Those who interfere with the goddess’s oracle! I hereby authorize judgment!”

“Understood! “Judgment”!”

“Judgment!”

Their judgment was a little quicker.

Hwaaaa …

A pure white light that spreads in an instant.

The light enveloped the Red Blade Guild… .

“Kuaaaah! Aaaaah─!”

“Oh, Goddess!”

“Oh! Goddess Gaia!”

The Red Blade Guild members, all of whom were criminals and Red Hunters, could not endure the pain for even a second.

Towering.

My father and I were about to run out, but when we saw that sight, we couldn’t help but stop and laugh in vain.

“… This is ridiculous.”

“That’s right. How can one’s mental strength be this weak…?”

I have seen civilians fall victim to “Judgment” before.

Even that person wasn’t brainwashed this quickly.

No matter how much of a criminal they are, these so-called hunters have incredibly weak mental power.

In that instant, the members of the Red Blade Guild became enemies.

“New believers! Have you realized the greatness of the Goddess?”

“Yes! I will gladly sacrifice this body for the Goddess!”

and.

“Hey, what are those guys doing there!”

They found us.

“… What should I do?”

“… … That’s right.”

In fact, wiping out all the enemies might not be a problem.

Even if the Gaia Cult guys and the Red Blade Guild members had joined forces, it would have been a fight worth watching.

but.

‘I worked hard to take control of the Red Blade Guild, but it was taken away so easily.’

It was truly absurd that all my father’s hard work seemed to have been in vain.

like that.

“Reveal your identity! Or I will attack!”

The wary gaze of the religious figures.

“This is our former guild leader!”

“Is that so, new believers?”

“Yes! They said to attack the Gaia Church! They are non-believers!”

“It’s the enemy.”

“you’re right!”

It was a time when I looked at the Red Blade Guild members who betrayed us in a second because of “Judgment” with a blank look.

“Haha. Brother Eugene.”

Yun Ji-ho, who arrived a step behind us, spoke with confidence.

“I guess it’s time for me to step forward.”
