Chapter 414

Of course, the Koreans are a bit better than the hunters from those other countries, but arent they also just after our dungeon?

Thats true.

Boris didnt deny it, so Pudovkin nodded in relief and subtly tried to change the subject.

Ah, right. Senior, you used to be active in South Korea.

Yes, I was. It was in Busan, and it was fun in many ways, said Boris with a nostalgic look. Everybody was full of fighting spirit back then. Before entering dungeons, we wouldnt call insurance companies or call corporate managers like you young people do nowadays.

Ah, indeed.

Regardless of the generation, the stories of veterans were bound to be unexciting for the youth. As such, Pudovkin was already starting to get bored. Moreover, this wasnt the first the had heard this story. Boris had told this story dozens of times

You see, the hunters who try to plan everything and make all sorts of calculations before a raid cant truly becstrong. You understand what Im saying?

Ah, yes.

...Am I too old? I-I feel like Im having a hallucination.

Huh?

Pudovkin was taken aback by Boris sudden outburst.

That hunter. Can you see him? asked Boris as he pointed forward, his finger trembling.

I... can see him.

Pudovkin wondered why Boris was acting like this.

Boris was pointing at shunters who had chere from far away. He was pointing at one Korean A-grade hunter in particular.

What was the deal with that hunter?

***

Han Seha was instantly irritated when that Russian hunter, whom she had never seen before, pointed a finger at Choi Yeonseung.

Is he asking us to break his finger?

C-calm down. This is Russia.

Besides, hes an old man!

The other hunters who cwith her tried to pacify her, but it didnt work.

Unless pointing fingers is a form of greeting in Russia, this is a clear provocation to a fight!

Seha, calm down. By the way...

Choi Yeonseung squinted his eyes as he looked at the old man, thinking he was strangely familiar. Had they met somewhere before?

As the atmosphere becawkward, Pudovkin cforward first. He had ridiculed them when they werent present, but the situation would escalate if he openly caused trouble in front of an A-grade hunter.

Hunter Choi Yeonseung, I apologize. Senior Boris was mistaken for a moment...

Choi Yeonseung! Are you really Choi Yeonseung?!

You know me?

Im Boris! I used to belong to the Amour clan!ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

...Boris from the Amour clan?!

Choi Yeonseung was also a bit surprised. He hadnt thought he would get to meet this person again.

Han Seha had been one step away from rushing over and punching that old man in the chin, but she slowly lowered her fist when she saw that Choi Yeonseung seemed to know him.

She whispered, Do you know each other?

We used to kill monsters together in Busan.

Are you close?

...No?! exclaimed Choi Yeonseung. He was taken aback by Han Sehas question because they were absolutely not close.

They had merely cooperated a few times when killing monsters. If that was enough to be considered close, then two-thirds of the Korean clans active in the first generation wouldve been considered close as well

However, Boris didnt seem to think so.

Its great to see you here! I wasnt even sure if you were still alive, but here you are, being active as an A-grade hunter. Its truly amazing!

Thank you. Im glad you seem healthy.

Healthy? I may not look like it, but my health is in shambles. I cant even participate in a real battle.

As the two hunters chatted in a friendly manner, Smallwood of the Icarus clan muttered in a bewildered manner, I didnt know Choi Yeonseung was that old

He was missing for a long time, but wasnt he a first-generation hunter?

Hey, lower your voice, you dumbass! What if he hears it?

The other hunters hurriedly covered Smallwoods mouth, fearing he might hurt the chairman. Choi Yeonseung was also a human being, so he would clearly be upset if he heard something like that.

In addition, he had used to be friendly and play with them, but Choi Yeonseung was now in a position where he could do anything he wanted with the Icarus clan, which meant that the hunters had to be more careful with what they said.

Of course, Choi Yeonseung had heard all of it.

Ill have to give them a tough training session later.

Has that friend that was close to you retired?

Close to me... Ah, that friend? He was more successful, Boris snorted and laughed. Following a long fit of cough, Boris continued, Sorry. Anyway, Im glad I got to see you again. Its a pity that the young generation of the clan is so weak...

Young hunters these days definitely dont train enough

Thats right!

...

Han Seha, who was listening next to them, wanted to cut off their conversation. They sounded like two geezers talking about boring stuff.

[The Hound of Instinct and Liberation advises you to cut off the conversation, saying there is no country for the elderly.]

[...The Hound of Instinct and Liberation says that Han Seha is already a ba...]

...Wait.

Boris had been talking enthusiastically, but he suddenly remembered something and paused.

This... Im sorry.

?

You will soon find out, but our clan has... cheated you a bit. The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons will find out soon.

Humanity had changed tremendously after the Abyssal gate had opened. During that time, many specific expressions and proverbs were circulating, one of them being Lying to a constellation.

In any case, even ordinary people who knew very little about constellations were well aware of how dangerous it was to incur a constellations wrath.

But paradoxically...

The fact that one always heard about lying to a constellation proved that there were many people who consistently did just that.

No matter how mighty powerful the constellations were, the greed and boldness of humanity were stronger than them.

On this day, the Russian clans were once again trying to deceive a constellation.

...Are you kidding me? Illaphael asked incredulously. It wasnt even that they had lied to a constellation that shocked him. It was that they had done it without any fear for the repercussions.

Even if they had a lot of courage, how dare they lie to the constellation?

We are serious, Illaphael. Obviously, we have transferred various rights, including the right to enter the dungeon, to the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons. However, we never said anything about giving it to you exclusively.

...You must not value your life, human.

Illaphael drew his weapon as though he was already sick of listening to the hunter. A spear materialized in his hand with a loud noise, and powerful magic surged around Illaphael, shattering all the windows in the room.

Take out your weapon and try to block it!

...

Illaphaels provocation caused the Russian hunters and officials to sweat. They had already made up their minds, but having to face the angry household member of the constellation they had deceived was terrifying.

The officials were naturally scared, but so were the hunters, even though they were significantly stronger than ordinary people.

I-Illaphael Were not here to fight. If youre just going to kill us, get on with it already! However, just know that if you do that, Russia will recognize the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons as an evil god constellation.

...

The larger the countrys land and the larger the population, the more faith it could send to a constellation. As such, a constellation couldnt just disregard the faith potential that Russia had.

The Russian hunters and officials were well aware of that and boldly used that fact to their advantage.

If a fight broke out between them and the angel, they would certainly die. However, they were certain that the angel constellation wouldnt risk losing everything he had built and achieved just to vent his anger.

Illaphael, calm down.

We need to back off here.

The other hunters who served the angel constellation intervened and stopped Illaphael, likely because they also knew what the Russian hunters knew.

You wantto spare the vermin that disrespected our master?! Illaphael growled.

Its annoying, but it cant be helped! Lets just go ahead and leave. Theres a lot to lose if theres a fight.

The other servants of the angel constellation were human, so they could grasp the situation more accurately. They realized that they had too much to lose by fighting here.

[The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons tells you to step back.]

Illaphael gritted his teeth and blustered, I will remember this. I will never forget the grudge that you insolent humans have created!

***

...Deceived?

Have they completely lost their minds?

The Icarus hunters behind Choi Yeonseung were absolutely shocked.

What the Russian hunters had done was essentially inviting someone to a party at their mansion before saying that they had actually lost the mansion in a scam.

The hunters of the angel constellation embarrassingly averted their gazes. As for Illaphael, he was so frustrated and furious that he was still involuntarily flapping his wings.

Um... Well, constellations can be deceived on Earth because the rules are different from the Abyss, Choi Yeonseung comforted Illaphael in an attempt to dissipate sof the awkwardness.

However, Illaphael lowered his head as though he was even more embarrassed.

Hey, you screwed up and Hunter Choi Yeonseung is trying to comfort you. You should look up and appreciate his gesture. Why are you acting like this? Whos the one who should be angry right now? said Han Seha in an indignant manner.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

The angel constellation had called them to conquer the dungeon as a reward, so they had cas soon as possible. However, it turned out that they couldnt properly raid the dungeon.

Seha, dont be so harsh. The entities of the Abyss arent familiar with Earths rules, so they get deceived a lot. It was the swith the dwarves back then.

But the angel I met last time, Adaquaniel, has adapted to Earth. So isnt it just this angels problem?

...Ah! Be quiet!

Choi Yeonseung was speechless, so he just covered Han Sehas mouth.

Han Seha was disgruntled, but she kept quiet at Choi Yeonseungs insistence.

So, in this case... Raiders from other countries can now enter the dungeon, right?

The hunters nodded.

The Russian government and the clans had made a good deal with the angel constellation. They had given the angel constellation the right to attack the Chort dungeon while granting raiders from other countries the srights.

Being able to clear the dungeon leisurely was completely different from trying to do it faster and more efficiently than other raiders.

If they were even a bit late, they wouldnt get the rewards despite having paid so much!

Did the raiders from the other countries know about this and accept it? I think its too much of a disadvantage to be a latecomer.

Thats what Im saying said one of the hunters under the angel constellation in a cautious tone.

Huh?

Those raiders also got fooled. I contacted them and they said the atmosphere was unusual...

...Is that true?

Choi Yeonseung was slightly impressed. He wondered if the angels and the hunters were just stupid, or if the Russian government and clans were incredibly clever

***

This is ridiculous! Who would pay for shared rights?!

We are just acting in accordance with the contract.

I will formally protest to the Russian government!

Suit yourself.

The Russian officials and hunters were pretty polite to the constellation, but they rudely dismissed all the foreign raid squads regardless of whether they protested or not!

T-this

Both the Japanese and the Chinese raid squads had no choice but to back off.

How could there be such thieves in the world?!

Now that things are like this, shouldnt we try to enter ahead of the other raiders?

Yeah, I guess we better hurry.

Should we also tell the Chinese hunters?

Are you crazy? Theyll immediately get in our way.

The older Japanese hunter was disgusted. After all, hadnt the Russian government learned such deceptive tactics from the Chinese government?

Meanwhile, the Chinese hunters were having the sconversation.

Should we tell the Japanese hunters?

Those guys? How do we know theyre not in cahoots with the Russians? Theyd do something like that!

Indeed, these three countries were on the spage
