simply before Jin-Woo turned into completely swallowed up through his shadow, he heard some other message issued by way of the gadget.
[The dungeon’s interior will revert back to original appearance with the death of….]
the feeling of him falling didn’t ultimate lengthy. all of sudden, the gravity’s path reversed, and he changed into now being lifted back up at the equal velocity as he turned into being sucked in.
His darkened vision reverted lower back to the original nation very quickly at all.
‘Isn’t this area….?’
Jin-Woo took a brief look around.
Tick, tick….
A street mild that persevered to flicker as if it changed into damaged; a hand-pulled wood cart leaning precariously in opposition to a wall; an electrical pole with a 1/2-torn flier stiller stuck to it.
He observed himself in a abandoned alleyway he often had to walk beyond while heading back domestic.
‘….hi there, this is the suburb I live in, isn’t it?!’
truly coincidentally, it become also the precise equal spot wherein he issued the 5 shadows to start patrolling the district, as properly.
‘My location absolutely modified.’
Jin-Woo did feel deeply greatly surprised in the interim, however still, he somehow controlled to stay calm as he checked the shadow under his toes. just like while he summoned his Shadow soldiers, he too rose up from the shadow. He cautiously poked his shadow with the top of his foot.
‘……’
back when he activated the talent, the shadow caved in as though he turned into stepping on the floor of water, however it changed into just a normal shadow now. Feeling actually inspired, Jin-Woo re-checked the talent Window.
just because the skill description had said, the ‘calm down’ length of 3 hours was in impact.
[Skill: Shadow Exchange Lv. 1]
elegance-unique talent…
….may be used again in [02:59:57].
‘….I’ve struck gold.’
Having witnessed the awesomeness of this ability, Jin-Woo’s coronary heart pounded quicker and faster.
‘And it was so rapid, too….’
He have been maintaining the height kingdom of awareness the instant he was sucked into the shadow. considering the truth that the perceived time would greatly slow down when he was concentrating completely, the switch to this vicinity did truly take place within the blink of an eye.
His saliva nosily slid down his throat.
This skill referred to as Shadow exchange – it possessed countless software, depending on how he used it.
‘Ah, right. This isn’t the right time.’
Jin-Woo calmed his excitement down and withdrew his magic energy. He had subsequently controlled to get his fingers on a remedy that would doubtlessly therapy his mom, so he shouldn’t be losing time right here like this.
Feeling plenty more pressing now, Jin-Woo switched his Hunter-difficulty cellular cellphone and showed the present day time.
‘It’s already this late….?’
Jin-Woo’s brow creased up massive time.
The touchscreen show showed ten within the night. even though the visitation hours had lengthy surpassed now, Jin-Woo didn’t hesitate as soon as as he summoned the shadow of the Sky Dragon.
‘Kaisel.’
Kiiieeehhk-!
Answering the decision of his proprietor, Kaisel yelled out in joy and driven his head out of the floor. and shortly, a massive lizard-like creature the scale of a truck and not using a fingers however huge wings revealed itself.
whilst Kaisel spread open its enormous wings, the already-slender alleyway appeared to get crammed to the brim in an on the spot. It changed into a small mercy that there were no different people nearby, in any other case…..
Jin-Woo walked closer, and Kaisel lowered his frame to permit ease of mounting. Jin-Woo duly did so.
even though this was his first time, he already felt a experience of familiarity as though he had been driving on Kaisel for a long term. He figured that flying within the air wouldn’t pose any troubles considering that he felt this manner.
‘It doesn’t matter if a person tries to stop me.’
He wasn’t talking approximately the medical institution workforce – even if law enforcement officials or the navy attempted to dam him, he knew he had the strength to interrupt beyond them. And, at least for this moment, he didn’t need anyone to hinder his path.
‘let’s go.’
Jin-Woo shaped a serious expression and issued a command. Kaisel commenced beating his massive wings.
Kiieeehhhkk!!
Kaisel rose up in the air proper away and fast flew inside the direction Jin-Woo pointed at.
A assembly became still taking vicinity within the partitions of the Hunters association, despite the fact that the hours had been getting late.
The Korea-Japan cooperative raid become already across the proverbial nook, and the affiliation changed into doing everything in their energy to make sure the a success subjugation of Jeju Island’s ant monsters.
“here is the facts sent by means of the japanese.”
The agent of the association pressed a button at the remote. quickly, the large screen changed into full of the pictures of the ant monsters, captured by the magic-power sensing camera attached to a jap satellite tv for pc.
those were the records taken during the primary, 2nd and the third subjugation attempts. Goh Gun-Hui’s eyes narrowed to a slit.
‘indeed, apart from the ant queen and its guards, every unmarried ant did leave the ant tunnel.’
The ant monsters moved simply as the japanese said they would.
even though the life of the dad or mum ants turned into a worrisome variable within the equation, it changed into also normal to find a few father or mother-kind monsters protective their bosses inside better ranked dungeons, as well.
nonetheless, it was difficult to say that there was no risk. The top guy in the Korean side of the operation, Goh Gun-Hui, speedy thought of one of the worst case conditions.
“What are the chances of the ants turning round quicker than anticipated after realising their queen is in threat?”
the japanese had already idea about that too, but.
“they have got stated they might use ‘interference radio wave’ signal.”
“Radio wave sign?”
“in line with their research, they located that the ant monsters use unique radio waves to communicate among themselves.”
certainly, if one wanted to reserve an army of numerous thousands as one unit, then a method to ship out instructions must exist. Goh Gun-Hui nodded his head.
“And they could interrupt the verbal exchange of ants with radio waves?”
“That’s what they stated, sir.”
“So, they need us to absolutely give attention to killing the ant queen, is it….”
The subjugation plan itself turned into quite easy.
even though it become easy, there has been a higher hazard of succeeding whilst compared to other plans, as nicely.
yet, why did Goh Gun-Hui experience so anxious like this?
He rested his chin on his fingers.
‘ought to it be that I’m worried approximately…’
It was then.
Goh Gun-Hui spun his head in the direction of the outside of the window, his brows shooting up excessive. anybody within the meeting room flinched on the surprising movement of the affiliation President.
phase leader Woo Jin-Cheol, right here to shield his boss from the aspect, hastily walked in closer.
“Did some thing manifest, sir?”
“just now…..”
Goh Gun-Hui shifted his gaze over to Woo Jin-Cheol. The latter’s expression remained similar to standard.
“Haven’t you felt that?”
“Sir? I don’t understand what you mean….”
“….”
just now, an outstanding wave of magic power flooded in from a far off location beyond the home windows.
even though it only lasted for a brief second and fast disappeared from Goh Gun-Hui’s perception, he nevertheless had felt the whole brunt of that.
‘……..’
As their affiliation President persisted to stare into the space outside the window, the retailers needed to stop the assembly and cautiously ask their boss.
“Sir….?”
best then did Goh Gun-Hui shift his gaze away, his head nevertheless tilting side to aspect.
He wondered about the feasible foundation of that effective burst of magic energy, but for the time being, he needed to deal with the modern assembly. Goh Gun-Hui fell into deep thought, earlier than throwing a question at one of the sellers in price.
“have you ever succeeded in stepping into touch with Hunter Seong Jin-Woo?”
Baek Yun-Ho requested, his head still searching over his shoulder.
“Did you sense that?”
Min Byung-Gu spoke back testily.
“I may be retired now, but my rank hasn’t dropped, you know.”
those two men have been sharing a bottle of reasonably-priced liquor for the primary time in an extended whilst inner a positive ‘pojangmacha’ till then, but now, simplest the heavy silence flowed among them. (TL notice at the stop)
Baek Yun-Ho ultimately shifted his gaze back to his the front.
“What become that simply now?”
“perhaps Choi Jong-In and Cha Hae-In began preventing over the shares of the Hunters Guild. Who is aware of.”
Min Byung-Gu have been frozen instantaneous with a shot glass in his hand, however all of sudden broke out in a suit of giggles before emptying the soju down his throat. Baek Yun-Ho formed a dumbfounded expression.
“Don’t tell me you were seeking to make me laugh with that.”
“but, wasn’t it humorous, hyung?”
“….never mind. neglect it.”
but, however – which includes his sense of humour, Min Byung-Gu could be considered a bit odd in the head. absolute confidence approximately that.
‘I mean, he’s supposed to be the primary rank S Hunter within the global to retire while he’s still all healthful etc, isn’t he?’
now not most effective the primary inside the international, but he changed into also the only one thus far, too.
simply what number of human beings available could willingly give up at the ridiculous quantity of wealth a rank S Hunter may want to earn, truly due to the fact he wasn’t interested anymore?
Min Byung-Gu wasn’t even from a wealthy stock, first of all.
Sensing Baek Yun-Ho’s thinking gaze, Min Byung-Gu asked again.
“Hyung. Are you surely going to take part?”
“….Yeah.”
“however, you noticed how Eun-Seok hyung died.”
“That’s why I need to pass returned.”
Min Byung-Gu looked at his consuming partner with a bit of bewilderment on his face. Baek Yun-Ho emptied his shot glass and endured on.
“If we go away the ants on my own, the entirety of South Korea could end up like that area.”
“considering whilst did you turn out to be this patriotic….?”
“well, we’re alleged to do it quicker as opposed to later, so would possibly as nicely give you a pleasant-sounding excuse while I’m at it. Don’t you settle?”
The Guilds couldn’t decline the association’s summons. The association could accommodate the needs of the various Guilds, and the Guilds themselves truly needed to answer the association’s call in go back.
If one didn’t want to, then there has been the option of emigrating to elsewhere. How unlucky, then, that there was no sane-minded state willing to just accept a Hunter going for walks far from a high-difficulty raid.
even though a rustic did accept such someone, ought to each person honestly make certain of that stated Hunter now not pulling the precise same stunt once more within the destiny?
‘I don’t want to run away, anyhow.’
Baek Yun-Ho smirked to himself. in the meantime, Min Byung-Gu bluntly replied.
“I gained’t be collaborating. i’m able to never pass back there. if you asked to look me, hoping to exchange my mind, you may as well deliver…..”
“That’s now not it.”
Baek Yun-Ho put the coins down for the alcohol and stood up. The bottle become empty via then.
“I came to say goodbye, simply in case. I don’t understand if we’ll get to take a seat down for a drink once more, after all.”
“Hyung…..”
Min Byung-Gu gave up on converting Baek Yun-Ho’s thoughts, as he watched the latter wave his hand while taking walks away.
Baek Yun-Ho already knew complete properly the dangers of the subjugation plan, perhaps better than everybody else.
‘Even then, he’s nevertheless going…..’
Baek Yun-Ho’s expression wasn’t of a person being dragged away despite feeling deeply scared. No, as an alternative, he carried the face of someone getting ready to step on and kill as many ants as he should with this opportunity, rather. indeed, he regarded to be eagerly looking forward to the day of the subjugation.
Min Byung-Gu should only chew on the snacks with a helpless expression on his face, best for his chopsticks to prevent transferring shortly thereafter.
‘Wait a minute….. i will’t think of that many Hunters who don’t like fighting in opposition to monsters, now am i able to?’
There have been a few like that among the Healers, but on the turn aspect, the ones oldsters really loved to heal others, instead.
Min Byung-Gu dazedly stared on the bowl of oden soup, before more or less scratching the facet of his head.
‘ought to or not it’s that simplest folks who like combating end up woke up?’
Eii, there was no manner that might be true.
Min Byung-Gu found something to be rather funny, and laughed all through himself at the same time as finishing the oden.
Jin-Woo quickly arrived in the medical institution.
‘allow’s see…. It turned into room number 305, proper?’
He wasn’t planning to go into the sanatorium through the the front door, to start with. at the same time as nonetheless using on Kaisel, he searched for the windows of his mom’s sanatorium room.
‘Ruler’s reach.’
The curtains masking the home windows silently parted sideways. He noticed the quietly-dozing sight of his mom at the mattress. She regarded precisely the same as the last time he got here to go to.
Jin-Woo used ‘Ruler’s reach’ one greater time to open the window and silently stepped into the health center room. Kaisel had disappeared into his shadow with the aid of then.
He quickly stood by way of the side of the bed. His coronary heart was pounding madly now that the time he have been awaiting goodbye become here.
‘If something goes incorrect, I received’t be able to do whatever.’
His mother have been unconscious for a totally long term. there has been a risk that she might not also be able to swallow the Divine Water of existence, or even if she did, there was no assure that she’d be okay afterwards.
‘but…’
Jin-Woo got to witness masses of miracles the machine prompted to date.
If it happened to a person else, he’d never have believed a word of it. One didn’t even must appearance a long way for tangible proof, either. Wasn’t he the taking walks evidence of those miracles?
‘i was a rank E, but now examine me status right here.’
All of his achievements, they were due to the machine’s powers. Jin-Woo wordlessly stared at his two fingers, earlier than elevating his head.
His mom lay right in front of his eyes, searching as though she’d wake up at any moment if he referred to as out to her. He summoned the ‘Divine Water of lifestyles’ from the inventory.
Shururu….
On top of his hand, a timber bottle materialised immediately. He examine the object facts over and over once more, just in case he might have missed some thing crucial.
And so, by the point he had thoroughly memorised every word within the object data by way of time and again studying it time and again again, he managed to accumulate sufficient courage to pull the cork off of the timber bottle.
Pop.
His fingers that stayed steady throughout the existence-or-loss of life battle in opposition to the Demon King have been trembling substantially now. Jin-Woo took a deep, deep breath to calm his mind.
‘If I make a mistake here, my mother will endure the fee, as an alternative.’
the instant he instructed himself there could not be any mistake whatsoever, he was capable of regain the usual calmness proper away. Even his arms stopped shaking.
‘….I’m exceptional now.’
Jin-Woo cautiously supported the again of his mom’s, Park Gyung-Hye’s, neck together with his left hand. He then delivered the mouth of the timber bottle toward her lips.
quickly, the ‘Divine Water of life’ slowly trickled into her slightly parted lips. Jin-Woo didn’t rush it and made sure to allow simplest a tiny strand input her mouth.
‘This wound….’
He then observed the burn marks at the facet of his mom’s neck. The burns persisted down the lower back of her neck, too.
despite the fact that he couldn’t see it from this attitude, Jin-Woo knew handiest too well that the burn mark prolonged from the whole thing of the lower back of her neck and her shoulders to some a part of her head.
‘She got that due to me, in any case.’
returned then, he simplest wanted to wash his mom’s hair, inside the public bathhouse. He wanted to emulate what his mom did, while she washed the hair of very younger Jin-Ah.
but, the younger Jin-Woo, who never had tons of an opportunity to go to public bathhouses earlier than, lacked the capability to inform apart the temperature of the water.
Splash, splash….
The very warm water, warm sufficient to bubble up, crammed up the plastic wash basin. The younger Jin-Woo did his very first-class no longer to spill any of the recent water and carefully walked to the lower back of his mother.
and then….
Splash!
He poured the water out of the plastic basin.
mom flinched a touch, however didn’t circulate from the spot even if her flesh turned into visibly cooked pink. All because, she feared that the hot water would possibly grow to be on Jin-Ah’s face. She honestly held her daughter tight in her embody.
She didn’t make any noise.
The belated screams came from no longer his mother, but from the mouths of the aunties close by.
“Oh, my god!! a person, help!”
“Jin-Woo’s mom!”
best then did Jin-Woo realise he did some thing horrific. but, all he wanted to do became to help his mother.
Jin-Woo dropped the plastic basin and commenced crying, but his mother tightly grasped his shoulders. after which, requested him.
“Jin-Woo? Are you okay? Are you harm anywhere?”
The younger Jin-Woo thought that he’d be scolded for sure. He may want to in no way neglect the activities of that day and people words his mom stated to him. now not even now.
‘And here i’m, questioning that I don’t owe all and sundry some thing….’
After their father went missing, it become mother by myself who raised the siblings Jin-Woo and Jin-Ah.
He hated owing someone, or a person owing him, so he made sure that this sort of issue by no means occurred, but still….
He owed his mother a debt that he ought to never probably pay off.
It turned into then.
The final drop entered his mother’s mouth.
Jin-Woo put the bottle down and carefully laid her on the bed again. He stood quietly to the aspect as if he changed into praying to someone whilst anticipating the result.
Thump, thump, thump!!
His coronary heart pounded a lot that his chest honestly ached. apprehensive saliva travelled down his throat, too.
‘…….’
however, there has been no visible alternate.
simply as a drop of blood from Jin-Woo’s tightly clenched fist changed into approximately to fall….
“Heo-heok!!”
Her eyes still closed, mom sucked in a deep breath like someone getting rescued from drowning.
‘…..!!!’
Jin-Woo’s eyes widened.
a touch bit of color was returning to mother’s as soon as-barely pale face. Like coloration spreading at the black and white tv screen, a healthy complexion changed into spreading over his mother’s pores and skin.
every passing 2nd felt like an hour to him.
How a good deal time did bypass like that?
Jin-Woo’s mother slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze wandered round for a moment or two, before stopping at Jin-Woo.
“Who…. No, wait, should you be… Jin-Woo?”
Jin-Woo’s coronary heart nearly fell just then, however he controlled to nod his head a bit.
It became apparent that she didn’t recognize him proper away. 4 years had handed through already, and he had grown by loads for the reason that then, too.
Jin-Woo didn’t rush matters and quietly waited.
Like water slowly filling up an empty bowl, blurry reminiscences of the past filled up the empty hollow of the ultimate 4 years in Jin-Woo’s mother, Park Gyung-Hye’s mind bit by bit.
It didn’t take her a long time to realize why she was mendacity on the hospital bed like this.
“How lengthy have I been lying here, son?”
“It’s been 4 years, mom.”
He should’ve also added that it changed into four years and a few days, however he didn’t. His mother presently needed as an awful lot calmness, a sense of balance, so he did his first-rate to sound and appearance regular.
however, mother changed into still taken again through the revelation of four years, and she or he hurriedly requested him.
“What approximately Jin-Ah?? Is your sister okay??”
It was then, Jin-Woo felt something effective welling up from deep inside his heart.
She had been teetering on the brink of lifestyles and demise for the last four years, yet the first aspect she asked after waking up was the properly-being of her daughter…..
If he hadn’t bitten down on his lower lip, he might have broken down right there and then.
‘It’s no time to fear approximately that girl, you realize.’
He desired to say that out loud. but, he suppressed his emotions and fashioned a skinny smile, instead.
“sure, mother. She’s doing okay.”
His mother sighed, her expression one in all genuine relief.
Jin-Woo become inwardly worried, hoping that his mother might start disturbing approximately herself quickly, however on the identical time, he commenced to relax extremely as his mom apparently hadn’t changed at all.
‘things will cross returned to how it’s been, soon.’
finally recognising that mom’s contamination have been cured, his heart palpitated once more. however then, he changed into jolted out of his thoughts. mother was conserving his left hand even earlier than he had noticed it.
“mom?”
“thank you, son. You stored your promise.”
Promise?
‘…Ah, I forgot.’
on the other hand, he had continually concept it turned into the maximum obvious thing within the international, so it become possible that he didn’t consciously see it as a promise.
The so-called ‘everlasting Sleep’ ailment, where you’d fall deeper and deeper into slumber, till you’d never wake up once more….
It became harder for mom to hold on with her every day life as drowsiness frequently assaulted her with out warning with every passing day. abruptly, even though, she asked Jin-Woo for a favour.
“If mom can’t wake up someday, will you promise me to take right care of your little sister?”
She carried a grin of a mom asking her baby for a easy errand lower back then.
That become why he were enduring until now. He didn’t resent her at all. due to the fact all he did was to take over the weight his mother had been sporting till then.
but, mother tightly squeezed his hand as if she knew the whole thing.
“My son…. It should’ve been tough for you.”
Jin-Woo attempted to grin like he had done before to assuage his mom’s concerns. as though not anything of notice had came about until then.
regrettably, he couldn’t do this.
all the tears he held lower back until then travelled down his face, and his lips parted all on their personal.
“Yeah.”
