Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 114:

An archer is a job that requires you to be more sensitive than anyone else.

Feeling the opponent's presence and predicting the next move is the basic of the basics.

Even more so, he had to calculate the direction of the wind and let go of the bowstring.

In that sense.

Lim Tae-gyu was proud of his senses.

To be sure, he was confident that he would be the best in the world in terms of the sense of presence.

So there was nothing more absurd.

'Do you have better senses than me?'

No way.

No matter how much I knew that Suho was a very talented person, this was also nonsense.

'...It must be because of my mood.'

But it wasn't my mood.

In fact, Suho felt the signs faster than anyone else here, and he had no choice but to do so.

[An urgent quest has arrived.]

The quest has arrived right in front of you.

[Urgent Quest: Swamp]

A dungeon break has occurred near the player.

Solve the demons of the swamp that pollute the city and earn rewards.

'They're the magic beasts of the swamp.'

Apparently, the demonic beasts that protruded were on the beast side.

The sense of guardianship that calmly checks the quest is already an instinct itself.

It had become a predator that had found its prey in the wild.

[The 'Title: Wolf Slayer' buff effect is activated.]

The title effect popped out on its own before I even realized it.

The smell of beasts mixed with the magic wave of the Dungeon Break was vibrating everywhere.

"Let's go too."

"Where are you going?"

"Where is it? The dungeon break has exploded."

"Didn't you see the number of people who just came? They will figure it out."

Even at Suho's words that ignited his fighting spirit, Lim Tae-gyu only shrugged his shoulders.

Probably, if it was this much of a commotion, all the hunters who were shopping in Euljiro would have run.

No matter how much natural disasters belong to the dungeon break, there shouldn't be a big problem with that many people.

In addition, there was also the issue of commercial morality.

"If you don't know yet, it's polite for an S-class hunter like me to leave the kids out. Besides, we didn't even carry weapons anyway... Huh? Are you really going?!"

Suho was running out of the distance holding the bow he was already holding.

Embarrassed, Lim Tae-gyu shouted after him.

"Hey man! The bow you're holding now is a lot more expensive than I thought...!"

"It's okay! I will buy it for you!"

At that time, it was Rio Sing who suddenly took out a corporate card from the side.

After quickly paying for the bow Suho carried, Lim Tae-gyu put on a puzzled expression when he saw Rio Sing following Suho.

"Are you a hogu or a water owner?"

"It's okay! Our guild leader has a lot of money! Guardian Asura Chinguda!"

"what the. If you lose it to India like this, it will be difficult as it is."

Lim Tae-gyu grumbles with a puzzled expression.

It was not uncommon these days for useful Korean hunters to be taken away from other countries in exchange for large sums of money.

From a long-term perspective, this will lead to a weakening of national defense...

"Go with me, you b*stards!"

Im Tae-gyu brushed off the old-fashioned thoughts that continued in his head and quickly caught up with Suho in an instant.

And as if it had nothing to do with it, he reached out his hand toward the bow holding Suho.

"How many rounds can you fire with your magical power anyway? Alright, pass that bow. I will especially show you what a real archer is like... What are you doing?"

I don't know how many times his nagging has stopped halfway through.

After coming out of the store, Suho was aiming his bow at the sky.

It was the direction where the dungeon break was felt, but it was covered by buildings, so nothing could be seen from here.

Lim Tae-gyu asked Suho with a puzzled expression.

"I can't even see it from here, but what are you doing now..."

It was then.

The reason why Suho's eyes flashed toward invisible enemies.

"Spring up, Quay."

Shuwook-!

At that moment, a pointed spear of black energy rose from within Suho's shadow.

[Quay Lv.3]

Transformation-Arrow

"...!"

In an instant, Lim Tae-gyu's eyes were colored with astonishment.

'Magic arrow?! Is something different?!'

Something is wrong.

Even if it's wrong, it's firmly wrong.

Just at the moment Suho created the arrow, there was no feeling of mana being compressed in the process.

'Generate arrows without consuming mana? No, that can't be possible!'

when he gets confused

Glance.

Quay's gaze, which had turned into a shadow arrow, briefly passed Lim Tae-gyu's face.

[...]

Lim Tae-gyu.

A love-hate relationship that was once friends.

But now, as if it were all good, Suho pulled out Quay, who turned his gaze forward again, and held the bowstring.

A

terribly hideous energy flowed from the swollen shoulder muscles and arms.

"Quay."

[Yes Master.]

"Fly and pierce."

[As directed.]

Whee-ae-ae-ae-!

As soon as he let go of the protest, Quay immediately became a single black bolt of lightning and soared into the sky.

towards the invisible enemy beyond.

* * *

And about 30 minutes ago.

An ominous disaster was happening near Suho's house.

"...under. You cute baby."

Thomas Andre, who returned to Suho's house after a day, was smiling with a bloody expression.

Suho was not at home.

Even when I zoomed in, I couldn't feel his aura anywhere nearby.

"How pathetic! Did he get scared and run away even though his mother was caught?"

Koo Goo Goo!

The ground shook as if toppling from his anger.

However, his secretary Laura, who was next to him, was not taken aback and just looked around indifferently.

Yesterday was a bit embarrassing, but I was already used to the kojang of the old man, who is said to be the strongest of mankind.

'Anyway, as I got older, my temper only got worse.'

Laura immediately calmed him down.

"Looks like Thomas didn't run away. See the note here."

"hmm?"

Only then did Thomas Andre notice the small note attached to the door and raise his eyes.

-I'm going out for a while.

"outing? Not running away?"

After checking the note, Thomas' spirit weakened in an instant.

"yes. Come to think of it, I only gave a business card to CEO Yoo yesterday and didn't leave a contact information for Hunter Seong Su-ho. So I guess I left a note."

"Ah, that's right. So where did you go?"

"I'll find out right away."

Despite Thomas Andre's sudden request, Laura didn't panic and turned her gaze behind her back.

"Did you say you were the team leader Han Jae-hyuk?"

"...yes."

At the sudden question, a tall man awkwardly walked out from behind the alley.

It was Han Jae-hyeok, the team leader of the Hunter Association.

"Do you know where Seongsuho Hunter went out?"

"...yes. I figured it out in advance."

"You are competent. I heard that the Korean Hunter Association is quite amazing."

"thank you."

"What thanks. I was telling the truth."

In spite of Thomas Andre's praise, who was in a good mood, team leader Han Jae-hyeok could not relax.

'It feels like dealing with a time bomb that doesn't know when it will explode.'

Since Thomas Andre arrived in Korea yesterday, Association Hunters have been circling him.

Thomas Andre is literally a walking genius.

I couldn't take my eyes off him for a moment, not knowing what he would do in Korea.

Even when they clashed with Suho here yesterday, they were watching the two from afar.

Fortunately, Thomas didn't seem to be doing his best, so I just watched.

You don't know how nervous they were because they planned to jump out all at once and stop Thomas.

'Okay. Why did this happen when the president of the association was away...'

Team leader Han Jae-hyeok sighed, blaming the president of the association for helping North Korea just at the right time.

Only two years after the cataclysm.

Although the association is working hard, the Hunter Act is still weak and has many loopholes.

Experts put forward the view that at least five more years will be needed for the Hunter Act to be properly established.

In any case, physical time is required because of the procedures required for new laws to be enacted.

Given the circumstances, it was common for savage gangsters like Thomas Andre to lightly ignore trivial laws.

However, he could not be accused and put in prison.

Rather, it was thanks to humanity that he did not walk the path of a villain and quietly (?) acted as a hunter.

"So Mr. Han. Where did this little boy go after cheating on me?"

"...they say they are in Euljiro right now."

Fortunately, Thomas Andre didn't seem to be hostile to Sung Soo-ho, so team leader Han Jae-hyeok answered meekly.

"Euljiro? What kind of town are you doing there?"

"Euljiro is a special area that sells hunter specialized equipment."

"Oh, the arms dealer? Look at this wonderful guy?"

Thomas Andre immediately felt better and grinned.

What did it mean when I said I went to buy weapons when I wondered where I was going from early in the morning?

Laura nodded.

"I guess I made up my mind last night. to come with us."

"Catch Laura's taxi."

"...?"

"Does that kid have eyes for weapons? Of course I have to choose."

'Ah, finally...'

Han Jae-hyeok, the team leader, felt dizzy.

In an area where a lot of hunters are already gathering, the strongest old man of mankind has appeared.

He sighed and said, looking as if he had aged 10 years.

"You'd rather move with us. I have prepared a big tea for you."

"It is. Can we go this way?"

Thomas Andre walks out as if he knew it would happen.

Team leader Han Jae-hyeok sighed once again at the villainous expression on his lips and guided him to the car.

'There is no real tyrant.'

But he didn't know.

The fact that the appearance he has shown so far has been a real 'joke'.

Thomas Andre was traveling to Euljiro in a car prepared by the Association.

Doo kung-!

"...!"

"...!"

In the middle of downtown Euljiro, a tremendous energy wave suddenly burst out.

"It's a dungeon break!"

At that moment, the association hunters instinctively prepared for battle.

Among them, the only one who is relaxed.

"What did you prepare for this event?"

Thomas Andre raises his body with an expression as if he has found some interesting entertainment.

As soon as he opened the car door and came out, Euljiro was already in trouble.

Team leader Han Jae-hyeok quickly grasped the situation and ordered everyone.

"Situation happens! Situation happens! A swampy area has arisen in the middle of the city! The type of monster is...!"

Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

At that moment, the vicious monsters had already risen from the swamp and attacked them.

It was then.

"enforce."

Thomas raised one corner of his mouth and swung his big fist and struck the beast's torso.

Bang!

The beast's body, half of which had disappeared, landed in a distant place.

"...!"

The eyes of the association hunters were stained with astonishment at that tremendous sight.

"Oops. Did I hit too hard?"

Behind Thomas, who was scratching the back of his head, a number of hunters rushed out of Euljiro and started a full-fledged battle with the beasts.

"Did I tell you last time?"

Thomas smiled as if he was having fun and spoke leisurely to team leader Han Jae-hyeok.

"I've never let anyone who stands in my way live."

As he said that, Thomas' stern eyes turned to the biggest of the beasts.

"Is that guy a boss mob? It's a huge snake that lives in the swamp..." A

huge snake the size of a log was coiled in the middle of the swamp.

Blue venom was dripping from the frightening fangs in its wicked mouth.

sigh.

"Good. listen! That guy is my prey! Anyone who dares touch mine...!"

It was the moment when Thomas Andre was approaching the boss mob, making a confident declaration with the most ferocious momentum.

Whee ae ae ae-!

"...uh?"

Just in time, a black arrow from the sky pierced the boss mob like lightning.

Kyaaaaagh!

"What insolent b*stard dares!"

Thomas, whose prey was stolen right in front of his eyes, roared with a ferocious expression.
