Chapter 427 – Is it a Sweet Potato Point? This isn’t a Kejime matter, is it?
We gain information from the opponents we face through our sight.
Starting from simply judging their appearance.
We can make small predictions about what they do.
We might feel a bit biased based on looks.
Of course, sight isn’t a perfect tool for information gathering.
There are times when a person looks like a villain, but is actually a hero.
Conversely, trusting someone with a good impression can lead to being scammed.
And there are clearly optical illusions that seem to mock sight itself.
Recently, there are even villain possession stories that use this illusion as a tag.
In other words, while we can gain lots of information, there’s also plenty of false information associated with sight.
“Wow, there’s hardly anyone here enough for us all to fit in?”
“I told you. At this hour, only crazies are let in, so there’s ease in space.”
But then, out of nowhere, strange beings invaded the space just for Shinwoo and his party.
The roof, which had been overflowing, was now filled to the brim, leaving just a bit of ease.
Anyone who saw them would likely think the same thing.
They’re quite foreign and very dangerous.
“Thanks to them, things just got easier. The numbers are just right.”
“Of course. It’s not like we’re dealing with normal people.”
Spencer felt no different from that sentiment.
The doctor’s coat, nurse uniforms, and patient garb all forced onto figures that didn’t fit.
Their muddy, scarred appearances didn’t quite scream “medical professional.”
And surely, there were medical instruments pointed dangerously at the opponents for some odd reason.
Even in their original context, they shouldn’t be used like this.
Though they made for a bizarre group with strange commonalities, there was one undeniable truth.
It became apparent right then.
“What’s up, you dogs?”
“Ah, crazy. Why is Hyeji here?”
“Shit…”
“That’s Kim Shinwoo, right…?”
The fact they recognized Hyeji and Shinwoo means they were likely Hunters.
In truth, Shinwoo couldn’t deny it.
He was currently quite famous among most Hunters, just like Hyeji.
Of course, it was for all the wrong reasons.
He had already been notorious on the guild’s anonymous board.
But it truly spread when he clashed with the Reaper Guild Hunters.
Especially when he had mopped the floor with a prominent Wolf Beastman officer and sent them packing.
“……A madman came up to the roof, and it’s Kim Shinwoo…?”
“Fuck.”
As a result, Shinwoo’s bad reputation spread like wildfire.
“Looks like crazy folk are out in full force…?”
“……Who the hell invited them here…?”
It’s also worth noting that the reputation of the heroines increased as well.
Yet, it was a bit strange upon reflection.
This place was none other than a hospital.
What the hell were those Hunter bastards doing here?
“Hey, but Kim Shinwoo seems a bit off!”
“And that chick is someone I’ve never seen before… Who is she…?”
“Fuck, that’s not the point!”
But the oddities didn’t stop there.
“Run away!”
“If you don’t wanna die, flee!”
Suddenly, they turned their backs to Hyeji and Shinwoo and tried to escape.
In many ways, that was a very sensible reaction.
They quickly realized that numerical superiority wouldn’t give them an upper hand.
Of course, it was unfortunate that they couldn’t successfully escape.
“I can’t get out like this!”
“Let’s go one by one!”
“Yeah, but you’ll go first! I’ll clear the path after I’m out!”
The door was ridiculously small compared to their numbers.
With a limited exit and too many trying to leave, it became a sort of bottleneck.
At some point, some of them even ended up fighting each other.
“Don’t push! It’s too cramped!”
“Learn from me. You’re a dog, after all.”
“Whose fault is this, you dog!”
And another reason was.
“The Beastman Kingdom arc is over, you fucking bastards.”
– smash!!!
Hyeji wasn’t gonna let them escape.
Objectively, they hadn’t done anything wrong yet.
But Hyeji would break the Hunters in the truest sense.
“How do you stop the crying?”
“…Just stop…?”
It was truly sacrilegious for someone to bring a weapon.
“That’s right.”
– snap!
“AAAAAAAAAH!!!”
Moreover, the other heroines joined in with Hyeji.
And Spencer also began helping.
“Momma Tong, come help, too.”
“Ha… I got it…”
It was half forced, but hey.
Following her lead, Spencer mechanically began reconstructing the Hunters’ bodies.
It was a bit irreversible, but since they were Hunters, she had no qualms.
But maybe due to the repetitive, mechanical actions.
The unskilled Spencer relaxed her tense composure.
And at that moment, one of the Hunters faking unconsciousness shook off her consciousness and shot forward with incredible speed.
“I’m just gonna kill you now!!!”
“Hey! Fuck!”
Sprinting directly at Shinwoo with a medical scalpel reversed in hand.
“Get a hold of yourself!!!”
“Sorry!!!”
That speed definitely left room for body enhancement being utilized.
But what mattered to Spencer now wasn’t that.
She had to somehow catch that Hunter.
That was all that mattered right then.
Having left her ability’s medium behind, she ran for her life with just her own body.
However, her body couldn’t keep up with the frantic pace.
Ultimately, it was just a matter of time before the blade hit Shinwoo.
The moment she imagined the catastrophic scene to unfold.
Spencer felt like she was truly losing her mind.
There was no sign of relief; only the greater pain of her conscience and guilt.
If you think about it, Shinwoo’s amnesia was entirely due to her own greed.
Even if Shinwoo had some unspeakable purpose at the hands of a dragon.
If it wasn’t her request to begin with, such a disaster wouldn’t even occur.
Straining to reach Shinwoo from a distance.
Spencer desperately stretched out her hand.
Her heart echoed a quiet prayer in a frenzy.
No way!
I’m sorry!
No way!
I won’t be greedy anymore!
If things go wrong further, I feel like my heart’s gonna break!
Somebody help me!!!
But that prayer couldn’t stop the Hunter’s steps.
Thus, the time came when the Hunter aimed the scalpel blade at Shinwoo’s neck.
That scene was, in many ways, quite contradictory.
To use an object meant to save, for an act meant to kill.
“Die!!!”
“Stop! Please!!”
Spencer shut her eyes tight at the unbearable scene ahead.
Simultaneously, the grinning Hunter’s lips began to twist wickedly.
The thrill of killing harmful species, and the satisfaction of hitting Hyeji.
Honestly, it was odd that Shinwoo was just standing there blankly.
But whatever it was, if things were going well, it was fine by her.
The moment she thought that, a twisted smile began to form on the Hunter’s face.
“What the hell is wrong with this dog?”
– thud!
“…Oh…!!!”
Before Shinwoo kicked the approaching Hunter off the rooftop railing.
Thanks to that, an uninvited guest crashed the smile party above the Hunter’s face.
And that guest had nothing to do with smiles at all.
Moreover, Hyeji seized the scalpel from the Hunters and rushed over.
She successfully struck the falling Hunter.
As if to say, “If you’re gonna drop, make it quicker.”
“Slow, you loser~♥”
– whack!
“AAAAAAAAAH!!!”
No clue how the scalpel tied in with anything, but suddenly, Hyeji had switched roles with it.
Meanwhile, Spencer, who had been tightening her eyes, opened them as the unexpected sound shocked her.
And serendipitously, she began to witness the scene where Shinwoo kicked the Hunter.
‘Thank goodness…’
For just a moment, Spencer let out a sigh of relief in her mind.
However, the moment the head ready to burst cooled down, she realized something and shouted urgently.
“Hey! Wait! If you could’ve handled it, just subdue them!”
While battles between Hunters don’t usually face legal issues.
Killing someone is a completely different problem.
“And how the hell is a guy with amnesia killing people so naturally!”
Above all, did that even match the behavior of someone who’s lost their memory?
No, considering he said he lost it, it seemed like a lie anyway.
If that person really had amnesia, they’d be a dog since birth.
Of course, regardless, Shinwoo just tilted his head innocently.
In alignment, Hyeji also tilted her head in another direction.
Even Hyeji seemed confused enough that she was the one who forgot her memory.
“Did I do something? I have no memory.”
“Sorry, I’ve got amnesia too, so nothing comes to mind.”
“Kim Hyeji, you’re not fucking suffering memory loss!!!”
Meanwhile, seeing this, the other heroines shared their cheerful dialogues among themselves.
“I think I’m suffering amnesia, too, since I’ve unknowingly bought coins lately!”
“That’s dementia. Isn’t it about time for that age?”
“Don’t go smearing shit on the wall here.”
“Follow me, you fucking ladies!”
After that, they grabbed each other’s collars and began laughing as they left the rooftop.
“Need dementia insurance?”
“There’s a Succubus nursing home too.”
“Oh god, I’m seriously gonna kill you both!”
Whatever it was, they had deflected the attackers coming at them for no reason.
It was truly a beautiful and peaceful sight.
“I wanna go home, fuck…”
Unless we’re talking about Spencer, who sat there stuck in place.
