Evolution Theory of the Hunter

Chapter 106

Who is that?

The bastards that went in first most likely.

Is it safe there?

I dont know! Is that really what important right now?

Theyre coming from behind!

From where the hunters had just come out, Mukamukas and Tutulips appeared.

Gaaah!

Save me!

A hunter that was caught by a Tutulips grabbed Won Jong-taks foot.

F, fuck! Piss off!

Save.

God damn it!

Ahhhh!

Won Jong-tak swung his sword to cut off the hand of the hunter holding his leg.

Such a scene was happening in several places. It was not a situation where they could help.

The ones that barely survived by betraying and feeding their allies to the monsters mouth all threw themselves into the water.

Splash! Splash!

The hunters that swam the 30 meters in a single breath and took in a deep breath and collapsed on the ground.

The ones who barely survived were 4.

They all looked quite exhausted. Among them, 2 were faces I knew.

Won Jong-tak and Song Han-sol.

It seems those things know how to swim though?

Soo-ah pointed towards the lake.

Dozens of monsters were crossing the water and coming towards us.

Damn it. Everybody prepare for battle!

I held up my sword getting ready to attack, but for some reason they just hung around in the water and didnt come up to the landmass.

What?

It seems to be because of that stone statue.

Han Joon-suk said. We didnt know the reason, but it seems they were too afraid to come up to this landmass.

What is this stone statue for them to be so afraid of it.

Thats funny.

Edward said.

What are you saying is funny?

Arent we trapped here without a place to run to?

We wont have any trouble escaping.

Certain. That is true.

He started nodding as if he only just remembered the existence of the Escape Scroll.

Won Jong-tak who had collapsed on the ground looking at the Mukamukas and Tutulips surround the landmass suddenly raised his head.

Theres a way to escape this place?

Even in such a situation he hears everything he needs huh.

None of your business.

Damn it. Do you not feel the urgency of the situation even while looking at that? We cant stay here forever.

The management team will come if we wait. Who told you to recklessly come in here?

Damn it. You think I came in here because I wanted to?

Won Jong-tak grinded his teeth while glancing at Song Han-sol.

He was looking at the ground with tired eyes with half of his equipment missing.

The proud look that he had shown before was nowhere to be seen.

Theyre doomed. Definitely doomed. Looks like the number of dead people is over 10 and if you add the lost equipment wow I wonder how much that is?

At Soo-ahs words Won Jong-tak turned his head and started shouting at her.

This crazy bitch If you dont want to get killed shut your damn mouth!

Bam!

Won Jong-taks head spun around as he rolled on the ground.

Soo-ah who had suddenly appeared while holding up a fist started talking.

That guy isnt a friend right?

Yep. Hes not. You did well.

If she hadnt hit him then I would have. And if I had then it wouldnt have ended with mere bruises like that.

The other sides hunters got up while faltering.

It seems they were tense at the sudden violence. However looking at their state, they probably didnt even have the strength to walk.

I summoned Thors Hammer and dropped it on the ground after a few light swings.

Boom!

Huh?

Wh, what?

That was something heavy?

It was some light showmanship but the hostility in their eyes disappeared completely.

It might be a little immature but I have to cut down their moral from the beginning if I dont want them to start a fight.

Then, Song Han-sols line of sight reached me for the first time.

You are.

Ah. Did you finally recognize me?

Its that bastard from before. Though you died.

Is that so? Did Park Jung-bae not tell you that I was alive?

How long do you think its been since that Jung-bae bastard died.

What?

I thought he wouldnt do anything dangerous since he had a fair amount of money.

He went to that Yellow Sea or whatever and came back as a corpse.

Well Its the natural consequence of ones deed I suppose.

I didnt think I wanted to feel any pity because he had died. You never knew when a hunter would die and the Yellow Sea was especially dangerous.

He could have lived off of inheriting his parents business but he dug his own grave by going their on his own.

Save me.

What?

If you get me out of here Ill give you whatever you want. Ill give you all the items if you want them. Fuck If you want money then Ill give it to you after getting out. Please. Just let me leave here alive.

Why do I have to do so? I have a lot of money though?

Im asking you.

What bullshit is this?

Is this guy not fully awake even in such a situation?

I was snickering while thinking so, but he suddenly took off and held his bag upside down.

Dozens of items fell on the ground. It wasnt only that.

All of you open your bags!

B, but.

Shut up and do as I say.

Yes.

At his command the hunters that were still alive all flipped their bags upside down.

Thereupon a bunch of ores and items had stacked up on the ground.

Song Han-sol slowly kneeled towards me and opened his mouth.

I will give you everything. So please at least save my life.

The guy bowed down.

Damn. What kind of situation is this?

Poke poke.

Soo-ah poked me in the side. What is it I wonder?

Accept it.

What?

Unusual. If it was about grudges with Song Han-sol then this girl has a lot more than me though.

I looked carefully at Soo-ahs expression. Her eyes that were looking at Song Han-sol had no expression whatsoever in them.

Instead, she was using a calculator in her head trying to figure out how much those things would be worth.

The answer would soon come out since her head processed faster than mine when it came to money.

If we add everything up it should be worth a few 100m. No, it wont be that much considering the value of the items will fall but it will still be quite a bit.

Are you okay with that?

Im not okay. But I think that is enough as compensation.

And an apology?

I dont think that guy will apologize from the bottom of his heart. It might be interesting to see how well he can act but I dont have a hobby of seeing such things. Thats why the apology will be in the form of money.

Well, if you say so.

Although she said it like that shes probably not actually alright. She just doesnt want to waste any emotions on that guy.

I think that its a sensible decision. No, I shouldnt say it so lightly.

Its not like I can know her inner thoughts in its entirety. She might be crying on the inside while putting up a calm front.

What are you looking at with such a pitying face?

Hm? Did I do that?

If I say that Im fine then Im fine. Im saying this because senior brother wouldnt know if I didnt say every single thing as it is.

She pointed at Song Han-sol as she continued her words.

I dont care even a single bit about a guy like that.

Youre an amazing person.

Doesnt love gush up within you?

Thats a no.

Im sorry for interrupting. Theres something that you should see.

Han Joon-suk said. Looking at the place he was pointing at, I could see a crimson ruby.

The size seemed perfect for shoving into the statues eye.

This is?

Once I held the jewel in my hand Song Han-sol opened his mouth.

Do you want that? Then take it.

Ill take all of it so dont worry.

I gave the jewel to Edward. The guy nodded and flew up.

What in the world are you trying to do?

Won Jong-tak walked towards me with a swollen face. It was a bit pitiful to see him avoid Soo-ah after getting hit once.

However I couldnt get the scene of this guy cutting his allys arm out of my mind.

My expression naturally crumpled up but he continued his words as if he didnt realize.

We can really leave here right?

Well have to see. What that is. Its only a speculation but.

The stone statue that trembling once the jewel was put in its eye.

Edward hurriedly got away from the stone statue.

It doesnt seem like we can leave so easily.

Crack!

As soon as the ruby was put in, the entire statue started vibrating and then slowly started cracking.

And then finally it crumbled.

That is?

Han Joon-suk opened his mouth. It wasnt that the stone statue had crumbled. It was just that the outer layer covered in rock was shed.

The that was left after completely shedding slowly moved its body and looked down at us.

A creature with a humans body as the top and a horses body below, a centaur.

[I am a Centaur Warrior Virun. I will grant the wish of the human that has awakened me.] (Kyle: Virun is pronounced Vai-roon)

A wish?

What the hell was this all about?

Please increase the number of wishes to 3!

Before I could say anything Soo-ah yelled.

[That is disapproved.]

Eh, dont be so narrow minded.

Does that even make sense?

Then he shouldnt have asked for a wish then. Or put some conditions. Like you cannot increase the number of wishes. Dont you know you have to do that much if you dont want to be sued?

I dont think theres a lawyer with enough nerves to sue that guy.

The guys height was 5 meters.

The landmass had a diameter of 20 meters which the guy was probably capable of going from one end to the other in a few steps.

If we had to fight with this guy, it would be a worst case scenario.

The Mukamukas and Tutulips were lurking in the water while there was a giant centaur in the middle of the island.

There was nowhere to run to. Was the escape scroll the only way as I thought?

No, since it said that it would grant a wish, it would be fine to talk appropriately.

What do we have to do to clear this dungeon?

[Is that your wish?]

Its just a question.

[I have no obligation to answer.]

Then just clear it. That is my wish.

[That is disapproved.]

Ah. I told you, that guy seriously has to be sued.

Soo-ah complained.

At this point Im coming to agree with her.

Hes not doing anything for us and hes saying hell grant our wish. I dont have a clue why hes saying such a thing if hes going to be like that.

Then what are you able to grant us?

[I can kill anybody you want.]

Sure is a brutal genie of the lamp.

I dont need such a wish though.

How about asking it the way to clear the dungeon?

Han Joon-suk said. That did seem to be the best choice.

I will just ask as a wish. What do we have to do to clear the dungeon?

[Offer me a sacrifice.]

A sacrifice?

[Thats right. If you sacrifice a fresh humans soul then I will let you clear this dungeon.]

This was a bit weird. To have to offer a human to clear the dungeon.

Even if the dungeon was different from a normal dungeon this was far too different. At the very least, it didnt feel like a normal method.

I, I will offer a sacrifice!

Song Han-sol suddenly yelled from behind. I was wondering what kind of bullshit he was talking about when the sound of something penetrating flesh could be heard.

Arg this fucking.

A sword was pointing out after going through Won Jong-taks chest.
