“Tet Rizaku.”

Whether they shed tears or not.

Gray troll shaman ‘Rouge’ shouted something with a serious face.

Then, coming through the forest on either side of her, four huge trolls appeared, two heads taller than her.

“Master, Miss Shin Ji-yeon! Please stop now and prepare properly for battle!”

“Kyarrr. Troll, strong. It is strong, similar to a lizard.”

“It’s not a lizard! Well, he definitely has the same amount of magic power as me. I guess it’s because he’s a shaman.”

Rouge looked stronger than expected, and her subordinate trolls appeared on both sides.

Three familiars quickly preparing for battle.

Although Serena is a knight with high single combat power, it feels like she has mastered magic.

Nevertheless, the fact that her magic power was similar to that of Serena, who was the boss, meant that she was that strong.

Anyway, speaking of bosses, their combat power tends to be higher even at the same rank.

Even for a mid-boss, he looks quite strong.

“I guess it’s because of the name’s uniqueness as a shaman.”

Shin Ji-yeon, who came to her senses, looked at Rouge with a serious expression and said.

“I think it accumulates magic power due to its special nature as a shaman, and that’s why it evolved into a humanoid even though it is a mid-boss. I love it, look at those smooth gray abs. Lower jaw lower jaw.”

…No, it seemed like he hadn’t come to his senses yet.

“Kura! Traja!”

“Kweeeek!”

“Big!”

At that time, Rouge shouted something and pointed at Park Ji-hoon and his group.

Four trolls heard the sound and rushed towards them.

“It’s okay, 4 trolls are enough to deal with.”

Park Ji-hoon, who has deceptive debuffs and C-rank combat power.

3 D-rank monsters.

Unlike Karna and Brianna, who evolved from E-rank, Serena is already a boss level among D-ranks.

He can take on two trolls by himself.

I prepare to accept it with such confidence.

“Onsura, Dubara.”

Wow─

Rouge, who was behind her, raised her magic power and muttered something.

Suddenly, the bodies of the four running trolls began to glow.

Pababat!

“?!”

Suddenly the running speed increased.

And at that speed, he collides with Park Ji-hoon and his group.

Quang!

“Huh?!”

Park Ji-hoon, Karr, and Serena frowned at the attack, which was heavier than expected.

“Buff…! I think I got a buff because I’m a shaman.”

Shin Ji-yeon shouts from behind.

“Then there will probably be a debuff as well. Checking magic will come from behind, so be careful!”

powwow.

A wizard who specializes in debuff magic that weakens enemies and buff magic that strengthens allies.

Of course, since basic combat magic can be used, long-distance control is also possible.

“Tuthra, Tabirada.”

Wow─

[Slow magic is applied. ]

[Speed decreases by 10%. ]

[ Curse magic is applied. ]

[ Stats decrease by 10%. ]

just as expected.

A debuff has been introduced that reduces abilities and speed.

It seemed to apply not only to Park Ji-hoon, but to everyone, and the facial expressions of Brianna and Carr were also not good.

“Tsk. I will keep it in check.”

Serena clicks her tongue and falls back.

To keep Rouge in check with magic.

“Kweeeek!”

As Serena fell, a troll reached out to chase after her.

“Where!”

Wow!

Jihoon Park swung his sword and cut off the troll’s arm.

No, I tried to cut it off.

Since it was clearly a sword with an aura, it should have been cut like tofu.

Now, Park Ji-hoon’s stats are going down, and the trolls’ stats are going up.

It wasn’t cut completely and was slightly caught so it wasn’t cut.

And if you haven’t been cut, your already high regeneration will be buffed…

Slurp─

It connects in an instant.

“…Tsk!”

Park Ji-hoon clicks his tongue and swings his sword quickly.

If it doesn’t cut at once, just cut it two or three times.

There was still a difference in stats anyway, and for Park Ji-hoon, there was a ‘diminishing’ effect that lowered even the increased stats.

“Keek!”

However, Karga blocks one.

Although Brianna somehow keeps the other one in check.

Anyway, you have to deal with two of them.

If you try to kill a guy by hitting his head two or three times.

Suddenly, the guy next to me intervened, giving me time to recover.

That kept repeating itself.

‘Carna Brianna is in a difficult situation as her stats are dropping. I have to quickly defeat them and join them.’

It’s enough to take it down.

No matter how high their regenerative power was, in the end, they were just pieces of meat in front of Park Ji-hoon, a matter of time.

But it’s still only a matter of time.

It seemed like it would take some time.

‘It’s also a problem for pretty trolls to use magic.’

Another problem is that the shaman acts as a check behind the scenes.

Actually, right now, I am chanting a spell to do something.

“…The moisture is a bit lacking. Hand operation!”

Sigh!

At that time, Serena, who had fallen behind, also activates magic.

Behind her, streams of water that had been seen during the fight before rose up.

But it wasn’t as grand as it was back then.

About half the size?

It seemed like it was because, unlike the swamp, there wasn’t enough moisture in the forest.

“Pranabo!”

“Water Blade!”

Rouge throws a fireball, and Serena shoots a water blade as if to counter it.

Puhwaak!

A fireball and a water blade collided in the middle.

They dissipated into each other, leaving behind only thick vapor.

“Kich… Kthuga!”

Rouge can’t see what’s in front of her because she’s covered in thick steam.

She looked around with puzzled eyes.

I screamed urgently.

But at that moment.

Sigh─

“Gotcha!”

Serena rushes in with a sharp sword made of water.

It appeared through the steam.

“?!”

Almost as soon as the sword reached her.

Wedge- Wow!

Suddenly, something fell from the sky.

Serena’s sword was stuck on something that had fallen from the sky.

“Keueeek!”

The one suffering from a punctured chest and bleeding is none other than a troll.

“One more…?!”

Serena looked embarrassed at the suddenly appearing troll.

‘The reason I screamed earlier wasn’t to invite the four in front…’

Serena realized that fact too late and tried to back out.

“Tura.”

The slip magic that makes the floor slippery has been activated.

Normally, Serena would have backed away without any hesitation, but because she was so embarrassed, she stepped on the floor and slipped.

I fell backwards.

“Kwoaaa…”

The troll, whose heart was pierced by a magical sword, fell still.

After that, Rouge walked up with a wry smile on her face.

With a sharp blade of wind summoned in his hand.

“Chiit…”

When Serena saw it, she hurriedly stood up and tried to avoid it.

Rouge’s movements were a little faster.

“Carta!”

At that time, a sharp blade of wind was about to fly towards Serena.

“Where!”

Whoops!

“Hehe?!”

Park Ji-hoon suddenly appeared and kicked Rouge hard in the side, sending her flying to the side.

Cradangtang!

Rouge was unable to properly activate her magic and rolled to the side.

“Big…”

How on earth is this so fast…? He looked at Park Ji-hoon with an expression that said,

“Troll, that’s bullshit.”

Park Ji-hoon grinned and opened the sub-space.

“…As expected, the owner is amazing.”

Serena, who saw it, immediately understood its meaning and was impressed.

Subspace was used in battle.

By taking advantage of the characteristics of subspace that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.

While in close proximity to the trolls, it enters subspace.

The trolls were confused when their enemy suddenly disappeared.

In that state, it came back out the same way it entered and cut down the defenseless trolls.

“I thought it would take a long time. I made it possible to cut it up in one go.”

I can’t come out the same way I went in.

This tactic also worked for monsters with low intelligence.

“Tdo… Arsu.”

Rouge said that such nonsense…

Park Ji-hoon grinned and said as he approached Rouge, who was holding the side of her body that she had just kicked.

“ That’s it, let’s give in to defeat once.”

Wow!

Right after that.

Rouge’s vision was cut off.

“Master. A report has been received.”

“Report? Where.”

The world’s largest prison, located in Pennsylvania, USA.

No, to be exact, Hunter imprisons criminals.

‘Prison Guild Justice’, a prison boasting the world’s strongest military power.

This place has tremendous power and power, capable of arresting even S-rank hunters from each country.

A report came in.

“China.”

“Is it there again? I’m sick of it now.”

A middle-aged man who is tired of hearing the word China.

This large man with a handsome brown beard was Hunter Ben, an S-rank hunter who was considered one of the top five hunters in the United States.

Founded and runs the prison guild Justice.

He was also a guild master.

“Last month, we caught three Chinese people misbehaving in other countries. It was a black society. If I were to be black again this time, I would rather eat the herring pie your wife makes.”

Even so, there are currently quite a few Chinese people from the Black Society imprisoned in the prison guild.

They often go to other countries and engage in misbehavior, so they are often caught.

Ben also complained to his secretary, Lane, whose British wife was famous for not being able to cook, as he didn’t want to go to China.

“Hahaha, I will definitely invite you when I have some free time.”

“……”

What that means is that this time it is also a black society.

“But this time the scale is a bit different.”

“What?”

Ben’s expression became serious when he heard that the scale was different.

No way, if the scale is different in black society.

“As expected, this is a report about the guild master of the Black Society, ‘Rong Xiao’.”

“……”

Long Xiao.

The person who created the black society and the undisputed number one hunter in China.

According to the Chinese, he was a hunter who was stronger than the American ‘Eagle’, known as the world’s strongest hunter.

“The contents of the report are significant. I feel like I have been imprisoned for almost 200 years.”

“Well… wasn’t that the same when we investigated separately?”

“Yes. There was just no evidence.”

The Justice Guild also conducted separate research into the black community.

It was huge.

International murder, drugs, illegal import and export of weapons.

It was almost no different from a criminal group like the mafia.

No, as powerful as the Hunter was, he was even more evil than them.

But it’s all just heartache.

The physical evidence was thoroughly hidden.

So that international organizations, hunter associations, and prison guilds cannot move.

Also, if it was Rong Xiao, everyone would be so afraid that they wouldn’t report it properly or testify.

But this time, the right number of cases came in.

“The data sent appears to be quite reliable. It seemed like he was probably the closest person.”

Data that can almost be used as physical evidence.

Even if we couldn’t detain him right away, it was enough to allow us to investigate for a few days.

‘If you investigate, anything will fall. Then, we can somehow extend the detention period, secure testimony and physical evidence, and arrest him.’

Of course, that’s not as easy as it sounds.

If it were easy, someone would have already reported Rong Xiao.

Perhaps Rong Xiao had already prepared to destroy all the evidence.

And in the end, if he is released due to lack of evidence, he will find the guy who dared to report him and start a sword dance.

I guess that’s why no one reported it because they were afraid.

‘Quick resolution. Speed is important.’

Thinking so, Ben nodded and stood up.

“…Okay. Going to China Shouldn’t I take care of Rong Xiao myself? Let’s eat herring pie next time.”

“Yes, Master. I will prepare to leave the country.”

Thanks to that anonymous tip, the prison guild’s strongest power.

S-rank hunter ‘Hunter Ben’ sortied to China.

To hunt down the guild master of the Black Society, Long Xiao.
