Hunter Management Bureau Korea Branch.
Since the President declared war on the villains, they have been the busiest.
We work together with various guilds to catch villains like crazy.
The same was true for Team 5 Manager Jang Cheol, who was chasing after Hwang Jun-tae.
"Here?"
"Yes."
The pursuit of Hwang Jun-tae, carried out together with his team members.
Now it's the end.
Because the traces ended in a deserted alley near Mugung Elementary School.
"Have you made sure to control the surrounding area?"
"Yes. We have already identified the body."
This is a situation where a report on preemptive action has been submitted.
The alley where Jang Cheol arrived was lined with police lines.
Outsider control is strict.
Everyone gathered around, wondering what had happened.
"Excuse me. I'm from the Hunter Bureau. I'll be right by."
After asking for the understanding of the citizens blocking the road, I moved forward.
Jang Cheol entered the dark alley.
"There's a place like this in a neighborhood that looks like a new city."
"This is the location of the raid he planned. He broke all the fluorescent lights around there."
Crunch. The glass shards shattered under the sole.
"Where's the body?"
"That's it."
The scene investigators and hunters are gathered.
The way he spoke with such a serious expression was unusual.
"Have you found out the cause of death?"
"who...."
When Jang Cheol approaches, he asks about his identity.
Only after I showed my employee ID did they open the way.
"Oh, you're the team leader in charge of this area."
Finally, Hwang Jun-tae's body is visible.
Wide-open eyes. Open mouth.
There is no sign of damage anywhere.
It was as if he had died from an acute myocardial infarction or something.
"What on earth did he die from?"
"The body is quite clean. There is only one cause of death. Look here."
The forensic scientist pointed to a spot.
Hwang Jun-tae's chest.
The clothing near the heart was very slightly scorched.
"This is a sign."
"This is it? The reason for his death?"
"yes."
That's a confident statement.
But I just couldn't understand it.
It's just a tiny hole the size of a needle.
Will I die if my body is pierced to this extent?
Jang Cheol thought he would not die.
"The exact cause of death will be determined by autopsy, but if you look at this...."
The forensic scientist carefully opened the man's mouth slightly.
The tongue and the inside of the mouth were visible, turned black.
"Something hot from outside came in and burned my body from the inside out."
"her...."
To put such a fine flame inside the body, burning only the inside.
There is only one cause.
"magic."
"It's magic."
Conclusions reached at the same time.
It's usually not magic.
This level of precision and fine control is unheard of.
'Has there ever been a magic hunter of this level in Korea?'
Most strong people are very knowledgeable about Jang Cheol.
A wizard in the country. A wizard of this level....
'does not exist.'
No one can handle fire attribute magic to this degree.
What if we expanded it to the world?
One person comes to mind.
The top of the Red Tower in the United States, Logia.
But she'll be busy conquering the S-class gate, right?
ed.
'Then he is the strongest person unknown in the country.'
There aren't many hunters like that.
Most people wish to accumulate fame and great wealth.
To do that, it was standard to officially register as a hunter and then enter the management office or guild.
..
In other words, there is only one candidate for a 100-strong hunter who is anonymous and has not even register
'Meister... ... .'
A being that takes pictures of items that even 100-strong people would want.
So is this the power of the item he created?
Or is it the power of the body?
Or is it the work of someone else who has his unreleased items?
"My head is going to explode. Who killed this guy?"
"CCTVs, black boxes, everything was destroyed... It's hard to even guess the suspect."
"I guess I'll go back."
Jang Cheol was shaking his head like that.
The forensic scientist's shout came to his ears.
"A new trace! A, a higher curse! A trace of a curse!"
"Everyone stand back! It's a curse! We need to control the scene more firmly!"
The alley was in chaos.
The emergence of a curse.
The first investigator to discover him walked away, leaving behind a thin piece of plastic he had removed from his neck.
Saaaa....
A simple black thin vinyl.
There is a higher curse within me.
Just by making contact, the effects of the curse will take hold of your body.
That's why they went into curse analysis while staying away from the body.
"Analysis complete!"
"It's a curse that amplifies the lack of contact. I think Hwang Jun-tae was dragged around because of this curse."
The police looked at Jang Cheol at the hunter's report.
"Does anything come to mind?"
"hmm...."
A villain who handles advanced curses so skillfully.
Hwang Jun-tae came here and died without even knowing that he was under a curse.
For now, speculation about who killed the bastard is on hold.
The appearance of a villain who reveals the superior curse to the public.
A situation that could possibly be a group situation.
'A villain skilled in curses. No, the group is one.'
Jang Cheol noticed a faint pattern engraved on the vinyl.
The Sixth Mantra. I am convinced after seeing that.
"The villain group Yukwangseong. It's their doing."
"The Six Hopes?"
"That sextant?"
People are abuzz.
Because I've heard of their notoriety.
"Yes. It is definitely a curse. Even the way the curse is placed on the pattern looks the same."
"I guess they are the ones who committed the Seoul Station massacre."
Seoul Station Massacre Terror.
It was a horrific incident in which civilians who were struck by the curse they spread massacred over 100 innocent civilians.
The first known incident involving the group Yukwangseong.
The person who started the incident died on the spot.
'Have you finally caught the tail?'
Previously, there was no trace left and it could not be pursued.
But now that someone has caught Hwang Jun-tae, traces have been left behind.
"Contact headquarters immediately. Request additional reinforcements, and invite the Curse Chaser as well."
"No, that's not necessary."
It's a low-mid range sound heard from behind.
Surely civilian control would have been strengthened further?
"omg!"
"Mu, Mu-Gung Guild Master...."
Everyone who looks back is amazed.
Jang Cheol was also surprised.
The strongest player in Korea, Ma Seok-ho, who is indifferent to anything other than his own self-improvement.
Because he, like a bear, came stomping into the shabby alley.
"I felt it as I looked around. Traces of a powerful curse. Is it the Six-Star?"
While everyone was standing there blankly, Jang Cheol, who was relatively close to Ma Seok-ho, nodded.
"Yes, that's right."
"Then I'll go. You administration, get out."
Ma Seok-ho grabbed the vinyl with the superior curse without hesitation.
Aren't you afraid of curses?
"It tickles a little."
Looking closely, his hand was enveloped in a blinding blue light.
Mana concentration that makes your skin tingle!
He was a strong player who took 6th place in the 100-lecture class.
"Stay in my area for a while and then disperse."
He stamped his feet, leaving behind a single word.
Boom! The floor cracks and pieces of concrete fly out. Maseokho, who had jumped into the sky, had already disappeared.
There are also levels to the villain group.
Humanity has classified it as being on the same level as a gate.
Among them, the villain group, Yukwang Seong, has a danger level of S.
It's enough for an S-class hunter to fight against someone with just his body size.
Of course, this was a rating based on the minimum risk of the gate.
So, the hunters tended to form parties to attack the gate. Because it's much safer that way.
It's no different from a group of villains.
To deal with them, a group appropriate to the level was needed.
If it's an S-class, then a party with a mix of S-classes will have to deal with it.
They are that dangerous a group.
The headquarters of such a group.
It's a huge underground facility.
The only light was a faint ray of light coming down from the sky.
On the floor was carved a six-pointed star that gave off a gloomy purple light.
And at each of the six corners of the planet were six people.
"Hwang Jun tac did it."
"I did it."
When one person sings, the rest sing after him. Their goal was simple.
Hwang Jun-tae's diminished position.
Anxiety over having to somehow solidify one's position in the Black Sea.
He tried to make up for the lack with the missing items.
The Sixth Mantra took advantage of that.
A curse was placed on his body, forcing him to move according to his needs.
"I found traces of the master."
A person with the Meister's abilities as seen through Hwang Jun-tae's eyes.
I couldn't see his appearance in detail.
But the ability he possessed was engraved in his mind.
"We can now kill the Meister."
"Ohhh!"
The plan was to draw him into the Sixth Heaven from the beginning.
The items he created, if only he had the ability, could rule a country.
Honestly, I didn't expect much.
But how did you end up catching such a big fish?
Of course, it came with a certain amount of risk.
"The curse left for Hwang Jun-tae ended up in Ma Seok-ho's hands."
"So, should we abandon all these preparations for our grand plan and leave?"
It won't be long before the strongest player in Korea comes after us.
A situation where you have to give up the curses and curse circles you have prepared for years for today.
The leader nodded.
"Force it. Lord Devilian said. The signs of the end will soon slip through the cracks. So we must prepare."
"Oh!"
The words of the 3rd ranked villain.
Yuk Mang-seong knew better than anyone that there was no time in this world.
So, even if Maseokho comes, just prepare a means to prevent him from being able to subdue him.
The means had already been prepared.
"Since we don't have much time, I'll throw a powerful blow and drag the Meister over here."
Since it is a sudden time attack situation, you have to go strong.
Originally, the plan was to weigh his weakened strength against the recruitment offer after he had gained some weight.
"If you hold onto their lifeline and shake them, even the greatest master in the world will have no choice but to co
me here in a hurry."
"Reverend. We won't be hit by the reverse slaughter, right?"
"Don't worry. This world knows about the curse, but it doesn't know how to fix it."
There is no case where it was successful in Haeju.
To that extent, curses were still uncharted territory.
The sixth sense is only a small part of the territory that has been touched.
So I was well aware of the risks.
"So there's no need to worry about being killed. Get ready to kill with peace of mind!"
"Yes, Master."
A very dangerous flesh that is directly related to life.
It requires a tremendous amount of mana and preparation.
If you happen to get hit by a reverse slash, the price you pay is death.
They were prepared to die and were willing to sacrifice their lives.
'But there are no cases of this happening in the whole world. I feel relieved because no one knows the method of killing.'
I think you know what a master is.
It is simply an existence outside the standard of the production skill system that strengthens and creates items.
The leader was confident.
There is no one more adept at cursing than he is.
That's why I can kill people with peace of mind.
To survive, to prepare for the future.
"Now, Master! If you don't want to die at the hands of death, come here!"
