Chapter 424
Episode 424:
When I became an active hunter, I got along with many hunters. Thanks to this, Yura has unintentionally seen many Hunters so far.
Among them, there were Hunters with excellent characteristics and some with good combat sense.
But Shin Yoo-seong was different.
‘…how does it move?’
Shin Yuseong, which Yura saw, was like a person who could see the future about a second ahead. When the banshees swung their claws, they dodged it with a gap as thin as a piece of paper and put their fists in accurately.
‘And it’s common sense that mutupa is weak against the undead…’
If you think bluntly, most creatures had weaknesses to maintain their bodies. Even if not all were destroyed like a sophisticated machine, it naturally stopped working if an important part was damaged.
However, due to the nature of the Undead race, most of the physical power was ignored. The undead, such as ghouls and zombies, moved even if they were cut, and Banshee, a spiritual body, did not work at all with simple physical force.
bang-!
However, when Shin Meteor’s fist wrapped in blue mana hit Banshee’s abdomen, a crack broke out. As priests purify the undead, Shin Yuseong’s fist ‘annihilated’ the banshee as soon as it touched.
It was a literal annihilation, not a metaphor.
– Hey hey!
At first, I thought it was just a holy attribute artifact, but Yura soon figured out what the principle was.
‘It looks like a simple mana explosion, but that’s not it.’
Shin Yuseong was bursting with mana of the same wavelength as Banshee. It resonated with the sound and exploded the spirit form Banshee like breaking a glass.
“There are about five people hiding on this floor. The rest hid in the walls and ran upstairs.”
And then, as if nothing was wrong at this point, let’s shake off the remains of the Banshee buried in Shin Yoo-seong’s hands. Yura shuddered with a chill.
‘i get it. …You can see it in this guy’s eyes?’
Before Yura’s dispatch, Roger, the guild master of the Green Forest, had a story to tell.
[Watch Shin Yoo-seong and report anything unusual to me. Because it’s as important as clearing the dungeon.]
At first, it was strange that Roger, a 7th-level hunter, asked directly about a new recruit who had just joined. Even Yoo, a 6th grader like Shin Yuseong, didn’t get this kind of treatment.
However, seeing Shin Yoo-seong fighting himself, Yura seemed to know the reason.
Shin Yuseong was still a raw stone.
Despite the mighty power it shows now, it was a raw material that had not yet been smelted into jewels.
If you add your own color and style through data here, it could become a history that even the legendary hunter couldn’t follow.
Roger must have recognized that possibility long ago.
‘Because Roger-sama is a five star.’

Yura, who was about to give an order for the capture of the Banshee Queen, gave up her thoughts and saw Shin Yoo-seong.
‘Then what is lacking is sense or experience? Let’s float it.’
Originally, I was going to just watch, but now I want to peek at Shin Yoo-seong’s thoughts first.
“The problem is that the upper floors are the Queen’s territory. Even the guy in Delta Tower is a special entity that even uses telepathy.”
“I did check the report.”
It was also part of the data written on the pocket.
[Details – The Banshee Queen in Delta Tower is identified as a special entity. It turns out that the mutant ability, telepathy, can be used.]
[Details – All 4 hunters used sound blocking earplugs, but the attack failed, so additional reinforcements are being requested.]
Yoora secretly expected that Shin Yooseong had already confirmed this. and asked
“Then have you thought of a strategy?”
To be honest, even if you ask me like this, Yura didn’t expect much from here. A martial artist like Shin Yoo-seong was a great advantage in itself as long as he had high fighting power. Attacking this special case was, after all, the realm of character.
Of course, the reason why Yura was assigned to this attack was because she had the ability to respond to the Banshee Queen.
‘The strategies I have prepared are [Reset] and [Rollback].’
The charm is broken when the distance is great. However, Yura was able to return to the designated place through the spatial transformation ability.
[One. Make Banshee use Charm.]
[2. Moves a colleague who has been charmed to the church by space transfer.]
[3. If the priests of the church release the illusion, they roll it back to Delta Tower.]
Of course, there were many loopholes.
This tedious process had to be repeated terribly until the Banshee Queen ran out of mana or attacked from this side. There was also a risk of overturning if Yura, who had to use space transfer, was hit first.
‘By the way, is there a way for you as a martial artist?’
If you rush in ignorantly like when dealing with miscreants, there is a high probability that you will be defeated. With Banshee’s telepathy, he was able to attack his comrades at the moment of madness.
“yes. I have a way in mind.”
However, Shin Yoo-seong’s answer without hesitation made Yura embarrassed.
“Do you have any ideas? No matter what… your traits have nothing to do with this, right?”
Yura was intrigued. I wondered how Shin Yoo-seong prepared the strategy.
“Can you listen to me?”
“sure. However, it is not a standard method. Rather, it’s more like Admiral Lee Dok.”
Admiral Lee Dok.
It means to stop the toxic spread in the body rather than poison, and if the cause is determined as evil, it means to solve the problem by using other evil as a means.
“I focused on the fact that the Banshee Queen’s skill is Charm. Banshees transmit madness through their screams.”
“that’s right. Whoever hears the screams of the banshee goes mad. If you are treated, you can live, but if you continue to suck the spirit, you may die.”
So Banshee is dangerous.
No matter how strong a person was, once they heard the screams of the banshee, they could incapacitate them immediately.
Rather, he was able to use the power by manipulating the opponent who was bewitched.
“But what if you’re already dazzled?”
Yoo-ra frowned when words she couldn’t even imagine came out of Shin Yoo-seong’s mouth.
“what?”
What’s the difference between setting your body on fire and rushing at it because you don’t know if the opponent will shoot it?
“If you’re playing with words, stop. Because every minute and every second is busy.”
Yu-ra frowned and mistakenly thought Shin Yoo-seong was playing a joke. It was an unacceptable matter in a situation where the lives of the survivors were at stake.
However, Shin Yuseong’s words were no joke. Rather, it was more like a flash that dug into the weakness of deception.
“…there are several states of dazzle. It can be insanity, as in the case of a banshee, or hallucinatory, such as in a spore golem, or enchanted. I group it with one word, dazzle, but there are countless if you divide it into categories.”
Dazzle, to be accurately classified, refers to a mental state abnormality.
It was said that by invading mana into the body, whether it was the brain or the muscles, the caster wanted the form and situation to fall into an abnormal state.
“Then is there such a thing as a state of enchantment in madness?”
To categorize correctly, madness was a seduction skill that destroyed the cognitive state. However, on the contrary, enchantment was a skill that could be maintained by knowing who the person who charmed oneself was.
“The two are incompatible.”
“That is true to some extent. It’s not like there weren’t any attempts like this.”
There was a case like this in the green forest as well. In order to attack the nine-headed hydra called Dark Venom, he had been deliberately infected with the same kind of neurotoxin beforehand.
Of course, Dark Venom had no antibodies, but the neurotoxin prepared in the Green Forest had antibodies.
Thanks to this, Dark Venom’s poison was much less effective on the body already infected with the neurotoxin.
“But not in this case. Mental abnormalities such as dazzle can be adjusted to suit your taste…”
“I have already prepared it.”
Shin Yoo-seong took out a mana stone from his pocket casually. Looking at the strangely pink mana stone, it must have been enchanted with magic beforehand.
“Could it be that you put the enchantment skill on the mana stone in advance? How?”
“I asked the succubus queen.”
“no! Succubus Queen!? for a moment! What if that succubus betrays you?”
“Unlike Banshee, it is not likely to pose a threat to us as it is a familiar magician that has already signed a contract with a necromancer.”
Yoo-ra felt a kind of madness in Shin Yoo-seong’s actions, saying that he was Admiral Lee and trying to charm himself. It was to the point where he doubted whether he had already been attacked by a banshee.
“Isn’t that still too dangerous!?”
“…yes? Is there anything dangerous?”
Shin Yoo-seong was rather puzzled by Yura’s reaction.
“Compared to a banshee, enchantment is more than a minor condition and much safer.”
Yura calmly thought about the current situation. If you are enchanted, you can secure safety from other mental conditions.
‘I don’t think it’s real…’
I hate to admit it, but in terms of risk, Shin Yoo-seong’s operation was much safer than the [Reset] and [Rollback] operations prepared by Yura.
In the former case, if Yura, the person involved, was deceived, it could lead to the worst outcome, but in the latter case, there was no possibility of being infected with Banshee’s madness.
‘It’s frustrating, but… if you look closely, it’s true that this guy’s strategy has a high success rate.’
Yura made up her mind.
The method is too strange to be a rule of thumb, but the result itself was very good for Shin Yoo-seong’s strategy.
‘It’s nothing more than a big condition. At best, it’s just fascination, and if you look closely, it’s controlled from here, so the intensity must have been lowered.’
So I had to admit it now. For an active hunter, nothing was more important than the success rate of an operation.
“…good. Let’s do it. It is an undeniable fact that your operation is safer.”
After much weighing, Yura eventually convinced herself and looked at Shin Yoo-seong with a determined face.
“There is nothing to be nervous about. After all, compared to the actual strength of the Enchantment skill, it is at a much diluted level.”
As if waiting for Yura’s answer, Shin Yuseong casually popped the mana stone with one hand.
pop!
The mana stones turned into pink powder and scattered, and the powder soon took the form of Lilith.
As
the figure of Lilith kissed Shin Yoo-seong and Yura, a light of enchantment enveloped the two.
The original enchantment makes it a perfect prisoner who only follows the caster’s words, but the effect of enchantment was slight, as Shin Yoo-seong said.
‘My heart beats fast, but I can tolerate this much.’
However, if there was a problem that Yura had not thought of, it was that the object of fascination was not Lilith, the caster.
“Ah…”
Yes. Why didn’t I think of it from the beginning? If Lilith, the caster of fascination, wasn’t around, it was clear that the effect would be applied to the closest target.
And now, the only one by Yura’s side was Shin Yoo-seong.
Yura met Shin Yuseong’s eyes.
And the moment we met, I realized.
‘This is… dangerous in a different way.’
slap!
Yura, her face flushed, turned her head urgently.
“Oh, let’s go upstairs…”
For an active hunter to have such feelings for a student. This was the biggest crisis of Yura’s hunter life.
