That Face Is the Problem - Chapter 71.1
Originally, it was rare for Jeong-eon to step up right from the entrance of a dungeon, but this was an S-rank, and since the monsters were pouring out in swarms as if utilizing an onslaught of sheer numbers, Hee-ro felt it would be better for Jeong-eon to clean things up early. Having picked up on Hee-ro’s judgment right away, Jeong-eon opened his mouth.
Every Murder Viper, bite each other’s tail and do not let go.
The word-power command loaded with Jeong-eon’s powerful magical energy was delivered loudly through the mouth of the robotic bird that had been continuously following above Jeong-eon’s head.
At that moment, the swarm of Murder Vipers that had been rushing toward Training Guild Team 1 suddenly began to twist their bodies to bite each other’s tails. And a massive pack of Ouroboros materialized right before their eyes.
The Murder Vipers desperately opened their mouths to bite each other’s tails that were visible right ahead. Before long, they became a massive circle biting each other’s tails and died, poisoned by their own venom.
“Aww, cheat skill. Totally dope.”
Ri-na whistled and admired it. No matter how many years she had seen Jeong-eon’s word-power skill, it was so incredible that she didn’t even feel jealous.
‘Then get off Jeong Jae-gyeong’s back.’
Da-sol glared and thought to himself. Even though the hazard had been eliminated, Ri-na was still piggybacked on Jae-gyeong’s back up until now. He could understand how much she hated snakes, but now that they were dead, shouldn’t she get down? Da-sol’s eyes, which usually lacked any luster, flared up fiercely.
“Hunter Yoo Ri-na, if you happen to be afraid of passing through there, shall I move you over to the back side of the viper corpses…?”
Instead, Jae-gyeong showed even a step further kindness there. It was completely unnecessary kindness. Far from refusing, Ri-na was even making an immature request, saying it was a sweet deal, “Can’t you move me over by flying?”
An exasperated Da-sol was about to say a word, but Jae-gyeong spread his wings and soared high into the sky while carefully supporting both of Ri-na’s legs.
“Look at that.”
Without realizing it, Da-sol let out a sarcastic remark. Yi-hyeon, who was behind him, looked at Da-sol as if he were strange, but Da-sol didn’t care.
Carrying Ri-na on his back and flapping his wings, Jae-gyeong descended far away behind the swarm of dead vipers. He could be seen turning back slightly and saying something. After Ri-na nodded, she hopped down from Jae-gyeong’s back. Even after that, Jae-gyeong looked over Ri-na’s entire body, seemingly asking if she was really okay.
“The Archangel has made an appearance, truly.”
Da-sol muttered through clenched teeth. Hearing that, Ye-jin frowned slightly.
“Da-sol, be a bit nice to Hunter Jae-gyeong. Why are you so anxious to tear into him? He’s so kind and considerate. I thought you became close with Hunter Jae-gyeong, but was that not it?”
“Close? What do you mean close. And what part of Jeong Jae-gyeong is kind and considerate? He’s a total piece of trash.”
It was natural. Because he was an absolute piece of trash who liked Da-sol while thinking of him as a substitute for Da-in. However, Ye-jin, who didn’t know Jae-gyeong’s dark inner motives, clicked her tongue.
“What am I going to do with you, seriously… I should call Su-hyeok-oppa and ask him to give you a mental discipline session.”
“Tell that hyung to discipline his own kids instead.”
Da-sol snapped back coldly and moved his feet. He didn’t want to talk about Jae-gyeong with others anymore. As Da-sol at the rear moved, the team members who were ahead also began to cross the dead viper pack and move forward.
“Shall I move you over, by any chance…?”
From far out front, Jae-gyeong’s listless voice could be heard asking.
“It’s fine!”
Ye-jin shouted back like that and flew over to where Jae-gyeong and Ri-na were using flight magic.
“Shall we run quickly? Seeing how it’s pushing us hard right from the start, I think we need to save some magical energy.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Ye-yes!”
Jeong-eon and Yi-hyeon replied immediately, and instead of opening his mouth, Da-sol straight up began to run fast. He ran as if leaping across, stepping over the dead vipers’ bodies without hesitation. The rest of the hunters were the same. After running like that for about a minute, the Team 1 members finally gathered together in one place again.
“I didn’t know Ms. Ri-na hated snakes to this extent,” Hee-ro said.
Da-sol agreed internally. ‘Why is a girl who looks like she would catch snakes with her bare hands and wrap them around her neck acting up and piggybacking on Jeong Jae-gyeong?’
“Who wouldn’t be scared of a snake this big? You guys are more fascinating! No matter how many kinds of monsters we’ve seen, this thing truly has scales that are individually massive! Euaaak!”
Ri-na shuddered again and hid behind Jae-gyeong. Da-sol’s expression turned grim. Truly, what was up with her? Without realizing it, Da-sol marched right forward and grabbed the back of Ri-na’s collar.
“Ugh! What is this!”
“…We need to stand according to the formation. Come here.”
Da-sol spoke bluntly, dragging Ri-na toward the rear. Ri-na quickly shook off Da-sol’s hand.
“Ah, I got it! Since when did you follow the rules so strictly anyway!”
“Quiet.”
“Geez…”
