Episode 189:
A completely unexpected name appeared. If it’s a thunder bird, it’s a divine beast that I know is in the United States.
“Tell me in detail.”
“He is better suited as a monster than as a divine beast.”
Strong expressions were poured out with expressionless faces.
According to Hyuna, the Thunderbird is interfering a lot with the human world. The United States was cooperating there and receiving the Congolese products.
They say that the flow of the world was greatly distorted because of that, but I’m not sure.
Anyway, I understand that the Thunderbird is different from ordinary divine beasts.
No, if you look at Yongyong or Hyuna, it seems safe to just view them as Shinsoo’s personality.
“I will intervene this time too and try to retrieve the essence.”
“Shouldn’t Thunderbird or anyone else just retrieve it?”
“If he collects it, there will be cases of abuse of it.”
Hyuna declared that her goal was to get rid of Shinsoo’s essence, but it was clear that Thunderbird would use it differently. Could it be that Argos was one of those types?
I glanced at Yongyong, but he shook his head as if he didn’t know. Then, the story was that there could be other cases besides Argos.
This isn’t a very happy story.
But as I listened, I felt puzzled. There seems to be the simplest way to solve this.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to go and talk to them in person?”
“Me with him?”
Hyuna snorted. It seems like they are polar opposites. Yongyong changed my thoughts into confidence.
[If the two meet, one of them will fight until the other dies?]
“But how did they both survive?”
[We fought until we both ran out of strength. I didn’t have enough strength!]
Yongyong excitedly said that he had seen it himself, but Hyuna’s gaze towards him was not kind. He is the type of person who earns the beating himself.
“Then shouldn’t we just send Yongyong?”
“A dragon? “Look at what I’m saying right now, I’m only going to make a lot of money.”
[What kind of punishment should I get?]
“Well, I might just go and get beaten up and come back with nothing to gain.”
“I think the same thing.”
[Why do you guys get along so well every time you meet since last time?]
That’s something I also find fascinating. I think the story goes well because they have a common denominator called Yongyong.
Yongyong’s behavior, which does not know how to earn his own punishment, is perfect for common denominator.
“Then do I have to deal with the Thunderbird myself?”
I was curious about how strong it would be since it was a divine beast. Even Yongyong, who is treated insignificantly here, was so strong when he appeared in his original form that it gave me shivers.
“That’s not right.”
“No?”
“huh. “They’ll probably send a representative too.”
It’s an agent sent by the Thunderbird, so I might clash with them. Just keep that in mind.
“When can we leave?”
“I’m still looking. “The location will be determined soon.”
It is said that the essence of a divine beast does not stay in one place. The essence, which has a half-self, wanders around in an incomplete state and settles down when its power is completely stabilized.
“You came all the way here just to say that?”
“huh. The dragon said that you are impatient and need to be calmed down? “You never know when you might have a seizure.”
You showed off your forked tongue brilliantly in my absence.
[I didn’t say that!]
“I told you I was having a seizure.”
[Do you trust me?]
When it comes to Yongyong and Hyuna, of course Hyuna is overwhelmingly trustworthy.
[Why! I helped you a lot!]
I tried to arouse sympathy with nonsense. Yongyong, let’s have a serious talk after Hyuna returns.
[I said he was having a seizure, so what’s the problem…]
Now he’s grunting openly and mischievously. I guess I can’t catch that bobby hair.
In that case, we should take Shinsoo as Shinsoo.
I looked at Hyuna and said.
“Can you stay for a few days and teach Yongyong some discipline?”
[Eek?]
“I will. I still wanted to see the human world. “Can you show me around?”
“That’s the deal. how is it?”
“I like it. “I’ll make sure to correct the dragon’s habits.”
“call.”
In this way, a transaction that benefited both of us was established.
* * *
Hyuna, who had been looking around for a week, passed away and Yongyong, who had been depressed all week, complained to me.
[How could you do that to me? How actively I have cooperated with you all this time!]
“Did the education not work properly?”
[….]
The mere presence of Hyuna makes them close their mouths. I thought I had obtained a very good tool.
The joke was over at this point and I asked Yongyong something I was curious about.
“But why didn’t you properly tell me about the Thunderbird?”
[I didn’t feel the need to talk about it, and I thought you might have a bad opinion of Shinsu.] Did you
think about it in your own way?
Well, at the time, my perception of Shinsu was that it was a monster that could speak.
“So, in the conflict between Hyuna and Thunderbird, are you on Hyuna’s side?”
[I want to be neutral as much as possible, but I have to take Hyuna’s side in this case. Thunderbirds are greedy. I think that greed has become worse because of the humans it comes in contact with.]
“Are you saying it is a negative influence of humans?”
[The Thunderbird’s original tendency is also like that.]
“Then we just have to wait until the essence of the divine beast reveals itself.”
I wanted to take a look to see how much power the two divine beasts had to create a confrontational structure.
If you do what you have to do and wait, it will come to you.
In the meantime, I succeeded in quelling the opinion that I was the one who eliminated Zhou Quan through Jin Se-jeong’s water-shedding operation. Several pieces of evidence led me to conclude that it was impossible for me to infiltrate by plane.
In addition, Singapore’s new regime also announced Zhou Quan’s death as a plane crash.
There are many things that cannot be explained unless it is an ability.
A few days after that.
A level 8 harmful monster has appeared.
According to the bidding rules, I ended up hunting the monster. In the past, when a level 8 harmful monster appeared, people made a fuss as if the country would be destroyed immediately, but now it doesn’t have any impact on daily life.
This too is probably a change I made.
I guess it’s a good thing that you can now do your job with greater peace of mind thanks to me, right?
Before going on a hunt, I asked the President a favor.
“This time, I’m going to try hunting in a new way.”
“New way? “Is there a hunting method that I don’t know about?”
The president showed curiosity and mentioned the dog.
“I’m going to try using the pet I tamed this time. Since there is a fierce battle between monsters, the body may not be intact.”
“Well, isn’t it still early?”
The President must have been worried about fighting a Level 8 harmful monster, even though it had only been a while since he had taken in the dog.
However, both monsters and humans need to be raised to become strong in order to grow strong. The doggo has enjoyed the favor of the monster’s heart and skin that I brought him, so now it’s time to prove his own worth.
The President’s gaze turned to Cheon Myeong-guk standing next to him. He said he was too busy with work these days, and perhaps because he decided it was time to quit, his face cleared up.
I was convinced after seeing this. Even if Cheon Myeong-guk is more overworked than he is now, he can work healthily as long as he has a positive attitude.
“What does Director Cheon think?”
“There may be a loss to the by-products, but I think you can fully support it as it is Choi Jun-ho’s decision.”
“hmm. “I can trust Director Cheon’s judgment.”
Look at that, they were actually pushing Cheon Myeong-guk.
The comedy was that he actually didn’t know that.
“Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you.”
“Yes, I will bring good results.”
So I took the dog and went out to hunt the harmful level 8 monster.
* * *
With the advent of plus-level monsters, much of their majesty has disappeared, but harmful level 8 monsters are still powerful monsters that can destroy a country.
The reality is that for superhumans who are underdeveloped or have slow development, it is difficult to hunt harmful level 8 monsters.
Right now, it was a similar case, and after receiving guidance from me, hunting became much easier.
Well, no matter how many modifiers are added, it is clear that it is weaker than the plus level.
Doggy and I arrived at the border between North Pyongan Province and South Pyongan Province. The reason I am trying to use a dog for this hunt is because monsters appear in places where few people live. There was a calculation that even if the dog fails and aggro occurs, the damage can be minimized.
The name of the monster that appeared this time is Dalbodre.
This is a ferocious guy who destroyed one of the northern bases.
The size of the Dalbodre, which is in the form of a weasel, reached 15 meters, and me and the doggo standing in front of it were extremely small.
Woof woof!
Even though it was overwhelmed in size, the dog did not back down and kept up its momentum.
As I had not neglected my training, I was able to show off my prowess without being discouraged even in front of a level 8 monster.
Well, since he was able to survive in front of a divine beast, he should be able to fight against monsters.
Now we have to move on to the next step.
“Dog.”
bruise!
“Take on that guy today.”
bruise?
The doggy guy’s expression becomes dumbfounded. It’s very difficult to deal with a dog right now. However, you can only develop further if you fight against an opponent that is too much for you and bring out all your strength. I didn’t want a cute pet, but a pet that could easily deal with minor enemies that I find annoying.
And with the dog’s potential, it seems quite possible.
[Aren’t you just putting the word ‘potential’ everywhere?]
So you’re saying it’s impossible?
[Wouldn’t it be difficult to win?]
I’m not hoping to win anyway. I just want to use all my strength to deal with it.
[Oh, he’s been through a lot too.]
Yongyong was putting a bad light on the innocent dog.
I shifted my gaze to the dog and gave a command.
“Go and stick around. bite!”
bruise!
The dog’s expression became determined and it rushed towards Dalbodre.
* * *
To the dog, the owner’s existence was heaven and god. Although the owner had a cruel hand and a merciless personality, he was warm to those who came within his boundaries.
The dog, which grew up smoothly thanks to the grace of its owner, followed everything its owner commanded.
The existence of the owner meant that much to the dog.
The monster I was going to face this time was something far beyond my expectations.
A powerful being that can kill even the predators of the forest where it once lived by stomping on them like ants.
However, as long as the master’s orders are given, you must fight. It doesn’t matter if your strength isn’t right now. No matter how strong a monster was, teeth would get stuck in its neck, and if it bleeds or gets injured, it was natural for it to die.
The dog burned its fighting spirit.
Crrr!
What is the driving force behind being able to attack like this against monsters that are much stronger than yourself?
…Because I was more afraid of being beaten up under the pretext of sparring if I didn’t follow my master’s instructions.
The dog was more scared of its owner watching silently from behind than of the monster in front of it showing its teeth.
However, I didn’t just rush in. In order to inflict damage on an opponent who is stronger than you, you must find even the smallest gap. A small gap appeared in the eyes of the dog who was patiently examining the monster.
Kyaaa!
The dog rushed in without hesitation. The distance narrowed like a flash of light. The monster didn’t just sit still and swiped its sharp claws as if clawing.
Flash!
The dog that narrowly avoided the monster’s attack was bitten on the back of its neck. When an unexpected attack was allowed, the monster screamed and struggled. The dog, which had been hanging on to the end, tore off a handful of flesh and retreated.
With blood running down its neck, the monster radiated ferocious energy. Either way, the dog lowered his posture and focused all his attention on catching the gap.
The first attack was successful due to luck, but the next attack was based on skill. The monster’s nails cracked the skin and blood flowed, but the dog did not give up. Even if you die, all you have to do is inflict mortal wounds on the guy.
Wow!
His entire body was soaked in blood, making it difficult to even stand, but the monster’s condition was also not good. Seeing the monster’s bloody gaze, the dog roared to keep from losing momentum.
Woof woof!
At that time, the owner’s voice was heard from behind.
“Good job, step back.”
At that instruction, the dog immediately stepped back. At that time, the owner approached the monster as if he had moved through space and cut off the monster’s head.
As I watched the monster fall without even reacting properly, I once again realized how strong its owner was. The owner handles opponents he cannot overcome as easily as stomping on an insect. It is crazy to stand up to your master.
The owner came closer and opened the bottle and poured it onto the wounded body.
Chi-ik!
Although there was pain, I felt I was recovering.
“You did well today. Just do this from now on.”
Woof woof!
The dog felt that he had grown. It is thanks to the grace of the owner that he was able to grow like this from an unremarkable person. Now and in the future, he will remain loyal to his master.
However, the owner’s standards were as high as the sky.
“Next time, let’s try to do it in a way that damages the leather as little as possible. “You can do it, right?”
I just came back from death without being able to defeat my opponent? How do I catch an opponent like that without damaging his skin?
Feeling devastated, the dog looked blankly at its owner.
But the owner is merciless.
“The answer is late?”
…bruise!
The dog answered that he wanted to live.
