The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood – Chapter 73

Ch 73: Nacha Temple

Yeah. That’s right.

Their real plan was to collude with politicians who would back them and influence the political world.

But isn’t it a bit much to kill an S-rank hunter and cause national chaos?

It couldn’t be helped.

Kim Assemblyman was so cornered that he needed such a shocking incident.

“Take the lead.”

“Yes! Assemblyman-nim.”

A small villa deep in the mountains.

Soon, a secret meeting was held in the drawing room there.

And a little later.

“I’ll be on my way now~”

Tap.

Su Ye-hui lightly stretched her shoulders as she came out of the drawing room.

From now on, all matters must be entrusted to the Cult Leader.

That politician tends to dismiss the words of young people like me.

‘It’s been a while since he lost his gold badge, but Assemblyman-nim is going to freeze to death.’

Su Ye-hui grumbled her dissatisfaction under her breath as she left the hallway.

◈◈◈

Kim Assemblyman.

To talk about that man, we have to go back seven years.

The dungeon shock of the past really changed many lives.

A well-to-do family’s only daughter suddenly becomes an orphan.

A shut-in hikkikomori becomes a savior to protect the world.

Like this, Kim Assemblyman was one of the people whose life changed according to the great flow of the times.

It wasn’t in a good direction though.

When the gates first appeared.

Kim Assemblyman heard the special report that the Korean army’s weapons were completely ineffective against the monsters of the dungeon and made a decision he would regret for the rest of his life.

He left for Germany, a monster-free country where no gates had occurred.

Monsters were pouring out one after another.

Guns didn’t work.

Moreover, the Blue House’s underground bunker was even occupied by heteromorphic beings three days after the shock, so what could he believe in now?

Every man for himself.

Kim Assemblyman thought he was just doing his best to protect himself and his family.

『…World Security Cooperation Organization, Announces International Name Awakener（Awakener）』

Awakened One.

That is until the concept appeared…….

“D*mn it!”

In elementary school, for convenience, they teach that the occurrence of gates and Awakened Ones happened at the same time.

But if you look closely at the process of the incident, the birth of the Awakened Ones was actually later than that.

Humanity only began its first evolution 10 days after the dungeon appeared.

“How did I get into politics, that I’m being done in by something so ridiculous…!”

Kim Assemblyman had never been more embarrassed.

『Breaking News. With the help of a new Awakened One, Choi Jin（22）, the recapture operation of the northern border of Seoul was successful on the 7th…….』

The war situation on the Korean Peninsula, which was like a living h*ll, was overturned by just one Awakened One.

The onslaught of monsters that seemed like it would never end was unexpectedly broken.

“Ugh!”

Kim Assemblyman saw the changed situation and hurriedly returned home.

But a brief mistake remained an indelible stain.

In the by-election held shortly after, it was revealed that he had fled overseas during the dungeon shock.

『-Run-』

『When your life is on the line, people’s true colors show. I’m very disappointed.』

『A jerk who ran away to a foreign country to save his own skin when the country was in turmoil. Shouldn’t we recover the salary we paid him so far? –』

Kim Assemblyman lost the last election.

Moreover, this was a problem that could end his political career.

Everyone lost so much due to the great disaster of the dungeon shock.

Because they have nowhere to vent their frustrations.

Because cursing the speechless beasts of the dungeon won’t change anything.

The citizens poured all this anger onto their fellow humans. They wanted someone to take responsibility for this situation.

“Hiccup…….”

Kim Assemblyman fell into despair.

He felt a deep depression because it seemed like his path in politics would be completely cut off.

And during this most unstable and rough time, the person Kim Assemblyman met was…….

『Tak Gwangjo』

One day.

He received a call from a high school classmate he had forgotten about.

Tak Gwangjo.

It was a call from the Cult Leader of the Nacha Temple.

◈◈◈

Collusion with politicians.

That’s good.

If you have a close relationship with powerful figures, you can draw out benefits that are more than the value of your investment.

‘With our cult’s numerous votes and blind money, we can decide the outcome of one person’s election.’

Su Ye-hui briefly thought as she adjusted her raincoat.

‘Especially if it’s a by-election with a low turnout…….’

Who would have guessed?

The magical beasts are angels testing humanity.

That a new holy land will be established in this world.

Or that a religion that just spouts nonsense about how you have to accumulate virtue and enter the glorious 4444 to safely pass the day of judgment is actually planning this.

Cause a dungeon break terror.

↓

Assassinate politicians with monsters, taking advantage of the chaos.

↓

Conduct a by-election and manipulate public opinion related to Kim Assemblyman’s faction.

Their main goal was to increase Kim Assemblyman’s chances of winning.

The terror attacks so far were just practice runs to make this plan a success.

In fact, besides this troublesome method, there was also the option of joining hands with people who were already stably positioned in the political world…….

The Nacha Temple is a very latecomer, a new company in this game.

The big shots who can coexist with a pseudo-religion and have the influence to be called ‘sway’ already have deep connections with indigenous religions, so there was no room for them to intervene.

So they had no choice but to pick up driftwood like Kim Assemblyman’s faction.

Since they were once somewhat famous people, if they are successfully revived, they will be helpful in many ways.

Su Ye-hui had put in a lot of effort during that time.

Completely hiding Kim Assemblyman’s existence from the other members of the cult.

Not sharing knowledge about dealing with gates with others.

To the followers, she just gave vertical orders, saying, ‘It’s a necessary thing for the new era.’

“Hmm.”

So far, this has been fine.

In fact, the group’s purpose has been well hidden so far.

‘This ability given by God is so convenient.’

Now, all that’s left is to worry about how to cause a large-scale terror attack that can overturn the political world.

Su Ye-hui had already come up with the answer a long time ago.

It was a smooth road. Everything was.

But to suddenly feel uneasy at the final stage of the plan.

“Kim Giryeo.”

Kim Giryeo.

An unknown hunter with no articles about him on the internet.

For some reason, Su Ye-hui couldn’t shake off the feeling that this person had smelled something.

‘A rank impersonator who scared Pyo Nagil…….’

So Su Ye-hui made one decision.

“I can’t just stay put anymore.”

Swish.

Su Ye-hui took out a feature phone from her pocket and made a call somewhere.

━Click.

“Hello? Ah, Broker-sensei. It’s me. Ye-hui.”

The place she contacted was none other than a broker who connects professional hitmen.

“You boasted that you had a very capable Awakened One on your side last time, right? I’d like to see that person’s skills.”

She hired an assassin with a huge sum of money to eliminate the troublemaker.

In short.

This is the reason why a guest came to Giryeo’s house…….

◈◈◈

━Squeak. Squeak.

“This is such a pain!”

I looked up at the ceiling, cursing.

Even at this moment, the barrier was being chipped away little by little.

Of course, as long as the core’s power is alive, the barrier can be restored any number of times.

“It’s driving me crazy……!”

But scary is still scary.

How can I sleep when some guy has been trying to break into my house for four days?

I held my head with hollow eyes.

━No, some Awakened One tried to sneak into my house, you know?

━But they’re not there now.

━That’s because they ran away when they saw the police! They’ll definitely come again at night. Please catch that guy.

I’ve already called the police several times, but to no avail.

The nameless visitor would quickly leave when someone came to my house.

━Ha……. Sir. We’re busy people too. There’s nothing we can do right now. So, please don’t do this, and report it later when, you know, a real problem arises…….

The police looked at me as if I was a delusional patient, then spat out a warning mixed with annoyance and disappeared.

And they didn’t respond to any more calls.

“D*mn it.”

Is this why Kang Changho questioned whether to trust the police?

━Crunch, crunch.

Judging by the mana I can feel, the intruder seems to be a fairly high-rank Awakened One.

Not quite S-rank, but around A-rank.

And if someone with that kind of skill is desperately trying to get into someone else’s house, their intentions are obvious.

‘It can’t be for a good purpose.’

Kidnapping or murder.

It’s one of the two.

I let out a groan, putting my hand on my forehead.

How long has it been since I escaped from that pseudo-religious group, and I’m already facing a threat to my life again?

‘No, fundamentally, is it because I left that place that the assassin came?’

I have a rough idea of who’s behind the visitor.

Kang Changho and Jeong Haseong, etc.

These two people, who have an uncomfortable relationship with me, are powerful S-rank hunters.

They wouldn’t entrust the job to such a low-quality assassin.

‘If you’re an S-rank hunter, it’s much more efficient to do the dirty work yourself.’

The choices are very narrow.

To be honest, now it’s just that crazy Earthling I met in the park, Park…Juntae or whatever, and the Nacha Temple left.

“Ugh…….”

For a moment, I thought about asking Seon Uyeon for help, but I stopped myself.

The uninvited guest is clearly a much higher-ranking person than Seon Uyeon.

If I rashly bring in an Association employee, who knows what the situation will turn into.

Crunch. Crunch.

At this moment.

A part of the barrier is chipped away again.

“…….”

I stared at the damaged barrier’s spell formula for a long time, then mumbled to myself.

“Okay. What a hardship this is.”

It was a hollow voice.

“I’m done. I’m tired…….”

Okay, let’s say I somehow manage to handle this situation alone. Let’s assume that I grit my teeth and try hard, as I’ve always done, and get through it.

But would anything change if I did that?

I’m already on the blacklist of some organization.

So even if I solve this problem, a new threat will come soon.

Then what’s next?

How will I solve the next one?

Can I really protect myself in the future?

‘With this trash body.’

The endless problems made me sick of it.

So I decided not to struggle anymore.

Unable to withstand the pressure, I eventually gave up trying.

‘A long life on Alpha Uri, and a few months on Earth. I’ve lived enough.’

It’s okay.

Actually, in a way, I thought it would be okay to die anytime.

Because just having tasted freedom in Kim Giryeo’s body is enough to fulfill my wish.

“Alright. I’ll just die then.”

Beep Beep Beep.

I took out my mobile phone.

And I immediately called a certain hunter.

Why is a guy who’s decided to die suddenly making a call?

Well, I have the name value of a Great Magician. It wouldn’t do to be defeated by such a rootless ruffian.

I will use my life for a more valuable cause.

“Hello?”

To be precise, it’s a gamble with my neck on the line in a fit of anger.

━Speak.

The call was connected.

I calmly replied to the voice coming from the other side of the receiver.

“Hello. Hunter Kang Changho.”

Come to think of it.

What Jeong Haseong said before is exactly right.

A magician with a precious skill but no power. What would such a person need the most?

It’s security personnel.

“Do you have some time? There’s something I want to talk about in person.”

So, I’ll take this opportunity to get myself a bodyguard.

“The offer you gave me last time…….is it still valid?”

I rolled the core that was the center of the barrier in one hand and continued without hesitation.
