Chapter 110

Fortunately, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t overestimating them. Even if they cursed at each other, most of the hunters here had reliable skills. They couldn’t have gotten here if they were incompetent!

‘I will kill them before that bastard can!’

‘Just look at that face. I can’t stand seeing him look so smug after he’s done eating.’

The hunters started to use their stored-up magic power and spells to kill the monsters. As a result, the number of monsters following Choi Yeonseung quickly dwindled. Rather than attacking and defending at the same time, the hunters could currently focus on offense! If their opponents tried to shift their attention even a little bit, Choi Yeonseung would unleash the Origin of the Celestial Finger and get the aggro back to him.

‘... This is comfortable!’

They didn’t expect to do this in an emergency that was comparable to a monster wave. If others heard it, they would ask if the hunters here were crazy, but... They honestly thought they were having the easiest time of their lives. Monsters never came their way, so they could concentrate on attacking. If this wasn’t comfortable, then what was?

‘Martial artists... are much better than I thought?’

‘Do the clan scouts have bad eyes? Why haven’t they brought in any martial artists?’

‘Is it hard to show that type of strength if their martial arts stage is low?’

‘Maybe it’s because they aren’t as selfless as Choi Yeonseung?’

‘Shut up and focus!’

When the number of monsters had been visibly reduced, Choi Yeonseung immediately turned around and went on the offensive.

"Aaaaack! What are you doing?!” one of the hunters screamed as Choi Yeonseung jumped where he was about to shoot magic. A magic arrow was fired right in front of Choi Yeonseung.

“You murderous bastard!”

“The Icarus clan’s legal team should sue you so you’d come to your senses!”

“Never forgive this man, Choi Yeonseung!”

The others hurled insults and boos at the hunter for trying to attack another hunter in a dungeon! However, Choi Yeonseung casually shouted, “Just keep firing! I can avoid it!”

“......”

He sounded far too courageous, which stunned everyone.

‘Is he really sacrificing himself?’

‘Has he lived for so long that he doesn’t want to live anymore?’

‘Is dying in a dungeon a custom in South Korea?’

Several hunters cautiously cast their spells. Without looking back, Choi Yeonseung used Origin of the Celestial Step to avoid the incoming magic spells.

“?!”

It wasn’t just once. After he did it a few more times, the hunters came to a realization. Choi Yeonseung could really dodge it!

“He can really avoid our attacks?!”

“Is this okay? No matter how I think about it, this doesn’t feel right!”

“Nonsense! This is how martial artists fight, you stupid people!” Choi Yeonseung shouted, seemingly dumbfounded. Learning martial arts had given martial artists keen senses. While fighting monsters, they had to dodge the spells flying from behind for it to truly be party play. It was just absurd from the hunters’ point of view.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Who would fight so ignorantly? Hunters should defend themselves whenever a monster attacked. The others would then attack the monster, allowing their party member that was engaged in combat to retreat. That was the basics!

Choi Yeonseung became annoyed and started to scold the hunters who didn’t cast magic.

“I dragged the monsters’ aggro, but you can’t even use magic properly...”

The hunters looked apologetic at first since Choi Yeonseung risked his life so they wouldn’t sustain damage.

“Where are the magic spells? I told you to keep firing, didn’t I? Why did you stop instead? I’m not in a dire situation, so stop acting crazy. What if it had been urgent? Are you actually even hunters?”

“......”

“......”

Now, they looked puzzled. He still had a knack for dodging both the monster attacks and the magic spells while scolding party members!

***

In the end, all that was left was the deiakaus.

The actual boss monster!

“Only the deiakaus remains! Help Choi Yeonseung!’

“It doesn’t matter who your master is. Can they help you now?”

“This isn’t over yet, you old bastard. You should have died a long time ago.”

‘This idiot...’

Choi Yeonseung felt slightly mad. He didn’t know about anything else, but being called old was a bit painful.

"Kuaaaaak! Choi Yeonseung attacked me!”

“!”

Jules decided to frame him. There were no hunters from Choi Yeonseung’s clan, and the other hunters were focused on the deiakaus. If the two of them fought, the one with the loudest voice would win.

‘I’ve already checked the location of the other clans’ filming equipment. This is not in the view of any cameras!’

There was no evidence and no witnesses. His fellow hunters in Ambitus would side with him...

“What? What’s going on?”

Having finished killing the wounded deiakaus, the hunters looked back in surprise. A fight had broken out between hunters!

“Who attacked whom?”

“This crazy bastard! He attacked me! Look at this dagger!”

“He’s the one that attacked me. The dagger is stuck in his arm because I fought back.”

“You’re lying! If I tried to attack you from behind, how could he have fought back?!”

Buzz buzz.

Choi Yeonseung was slightly impressed by Jules’ excuses. He thought this person was a fool of a household member, but this situation showed he wasn’t without talent. He even had tears in his eyes. It was obvious he had a knack for this!

[Your understanding of Jules has improved. You can now see more information about him with your constellation eyes.]

‘I don’t want to improve my understanding of this bastard...’

What was the point of knowing more about a loser?

“You film videos when doing raids! Bring them here.”

“They weren’t in the view. They’re not in the video.”

The other hunters murmured among each other as Jules quickly spoke to the Ambitus clan’s hunters.

“That bastard attacked me! Help me!”

“Um...”

“... I told you to help me! We are from the same clan!”

“That’s true, but... I don’t believe Choi Yeonseung is that type of person.”

“... Are you crazy?! We’re from the same clan! Don’t you know the clan rules—”

“Ah. I ■ know, you bastard. I’m extremely familiar with it. Rules are important, but you have to take the situation into consideration.”

The Ambitus hunters looked at Jules with suspicion. Hunters of the same clan helped each other due to the rules, not because of a strong sense of friendship or camaraderie. Every man for himself. That was the world of hunters. Therefore, they didn’t want to get caught up in a losing situation. If the other person was any other hunter from a different clan, they would have sided with Jules and said, ‘We trust you.’

‘I doubt Choi Yeonseung is that type of person.’

‘This bastard has been an asshole since the beginning, hasn’t he? Maybe it’s because he’s jealous of Choi Yeonseung.’

However, the person in question here was Choi Yeonseung. A situation that Jules never imagined unfolded. His colleagues sided with Choi Yeonseung!

“You believe that Asian bastard just because he fed you some meat?”

“Like I said earlier, you ate the most meat, you bastard.”

“That’s true. Honestly, you’re a bit of a jerk.”

“......”

“It also isn’t just some ‘meat.’ It was far from run-of-the-mill. A hunter giving something like that to someone else is rare.”

The hunters from the other clans treated him even worse than the Ambitus clan hunters. They were already whispering about Jules being the culprit.

“That bastard probably struck first.”

“Once we leave the dungeon, he will probably sue and cause trouble. Should we just kill him here and claim self-defense later?”
