The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood
Chapter 6: Abnormal Variation (2)

They may wonder why a robot vacuum cleaner is a metaphor, but this is actually quite accurate.

‘There are golems on Earth too! It’s an amazing discovery. I can’t believe other intelligent beings were also using this convenient system!’

Golems were inseparable from Alphauri’s daily life.

This is because clay dolls powered by mana played infinite roles.

Do my housework. Run an errand for me. Do construction. Talk to me. Moreover, there are even soldiers used in unmanned warfare. My hometown was truly a country built on the labor of golems.

‘Even my field of expertise is [Weapon Golem Studies].’

I tilted my head leisurely in front of the Golem.

‘Aha~ Now I know why there were no monsters here.’

Soon, I came to a small conclusion.

As expected, the most classic role of Golem is to guard. And what I mean by having to guard is because…

This is private territory!

The owner of this land put up a golem to prevent theft.

‘Phew, so I came in without knowing that the owner was at the gate?’

After understanding the context, I walked towards the golem and thought.

‘I woke up the guard, so I can’t leave quietly. I have to deal with that first.’

The fallen hunter was looking at me with disbelief.

Maybe it’s because this side is relaxing with a giant monster right in front of us. But I was used to this situation.

‘By the way, he’s from Earth. Then, I don’t think he came in without knowing that this was private property. Could it be that he was a petty thief and not a hunter?’

I ignored the fallen hunter and stared at the golem.

‘What kind of foolish thief in the world doesn’t even know how to beat a golem?’

Getting this close is enough.

I faced the golem and lightly relaxed my ankles.

Why did I narrow my distance from that dangerous guard? It was to implement an emergency stop. All autonomous golems have a stop command for malfunctions.

–Kiiiik.

Usually, only golem owners and creators learn emergency stops for security reasons, but I am an expert in this field.

I can tell how to stop this crude model just by looking at it once.

‘I will… find out later how the golem on Earth has a similar structure to the golem on my home planet.’

The emergency stop input formula I discovered was simple.

The moment the golem recognized the intruder and swung its arm, I took a big step back as if I were prepared and avoided the attack.

Then the golem’s arm struck the empty land.

Taking advantage of the opportunity until the golem raised its heavy arm again, I quickly ordered an emergency stop.

Tak, tak, tak.

A large jewel embedded in the golem’s hand. In other words, a quick punch into the area of the Magic Recognition Sensor.

Up, right, down, down.

If I rhythmically apply force in the designated direction of the button….

—Jiiing…

The large bead embedded in the golem’s head suddenly turned red, and then the body suddenly tilted forward.

Thud! The sound of the golem falling was proof that my plan had worked.

‘It’s easy!’

It couldn’t have been difficult. Emergency shutdown is literally a function that stops emergency malfunctions.

“Achoo!”

As the golem falls, acrid dust rises from the bottom of the cave.

However, even after the golem was defeated, I didn’t let down my guard and took my next action.

‘The emergency stop is a temporary measure. If magic power is supplied, it will go on a rampage again at any time.’

How do Earthlings stop when their remote control makes strange inputs on its own?

There are many ways, but I personally think the most certain thing is to unplug the battery.

Yeah, I have to take out the batteries.

“Ugh.”

I climbed over the fallen golem and felt the joints on its back.

Then, I put my finger into one of them and pulled it with force exactly where I needed it.

Tak.

‘My fingers are tingling from opening it without a tool box. Ugh.’

After opening part of the back, the situation was easily resolved.

Golem’s core.

I just pulled it out.

—Ttttk!

The stem that supplied magical power became entangled in the heart and was torn off messily. Sᴇaʀᴄh the Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

But since it was something I had done a lot, I wasn’t particularly impressed.

I just want to get out of this territory quickly now that I’ve defeated the guard.

***

…Maybe he was flattered that people were praising him.

Ahn Yoonseung. He thought in his blurred consciousness.

A lot has happened in the meantime. He suddenly awakened due to the dungeon break he experienced in MT as a freshman.

It turned out that the awakening value was a very valuable A-Class, so all kinds of large guilds were making scouting offers.

And he formed a team with good Hyungs and Noonas, and his performance when attacking the gate slowly increased…

“Keuhk, ugh…”

Until now, he thought it was the result of some effort.

But it seems that it was actually all luck.

Everything had disappeared so completely that it made him think that way.

“Heuk, ugh…”

This can’t happen.

It was revealed that the sudden change in the gate level was limited to level 2.

But once again, the Gate that threatens humanity has acted capriciously.

A monster appeared in the cave that couldn’t be dealt with by one A-Class hunter, and Ahn Yoonseung’s team, which was growing steadily, collapsed in an instant.

‘Everyone told me to only trust Hyung in times of danger… but in reality, it was just words.’

The team members who thought they respected him had no intention of taking responsibility for the rookie hunter from the beginning.

No, to the extent of a gentleman.

In fact, weren’t they always jealous and looking down on someone who was young and had achieved success by leaps and bounds?

‘My parents told me to be careful when working…’

Ahn Yoonseung. The A-Class hunter soon knelt on the floor.

All that was left to do was wait to die.

But,

Suddenly, the Golem stopped moving.

“Hey! Close @#!$#…”

“Ugh…?”

Ahn Yoonseung looked up when he heard someone’s voice coming later.

Someone was walking towards him, but his eyes were covered in sweat and blood, so he couldn’t see clearly. Ahn Yoonseung narrowed his eyes trying to figure out the person who had appeared.

“This is totally &@#?%…”

He can’t hear well because he’s dizzy. But the figure of a person was recognizable.

A man in a suit with dry eyes.

‘Unless I’m looking at it wrong…’

The man had a peculiar atmosphere somehow. No, it was more right to describe it as strange.

Because he was so relaxed.

He was looking at a monster that even an A-Class hunter couldn’t fight without expression.

The way he tilted his head slowly, it looked as if he were observing a golem.

“Ugh…”

He doesn’t remember much of what happened after that.

Ahn Yoonseung’s bleeding was so severe that he lost consciousness due to extreme dizziness.

Fortunately, his loss of consciousness did not last long.

Not long after, a loud sound that shook the heavens and earth woke him up.

Thud!

“…Heup!”

Surprised that he had lost consciousness, Ahn Yoonseung quickly breathed.

If he wants to live, he has to come to his senses. With that thought in mind, he opened his eyes…

The sight he saw as soon as he woke up was shocking…

“Heuk!!”

Because the giant golem that had destroyed the team was trampled in a miserable manner under the soles of that man’s shoes.

—Tttttk!

Immediately after that, Kim Kiryeo pulled out the core without hesitation.

The sight of a man in a black suit tearing out the golem’s ugly heart with a cold face was truly impressive.

‘T, to the golem’s… bare body?’

To remove an enemy’s organs so easily, with hands without a weapon.

The mysterious person unilaterally killed the solid monster.

It was truly surprising.

That golem was so strong that even a high-ranking A-Class hunter couldn’t do it.

Traces of fighting, blood stains, wounds.

Even such minor flaws were not found in the opponent. The only thing that changed while the A-Class hunter was unconscious was that the golem’s lifeline was cut.

‘I can’t believe it.’

Ahn Yoonseung held his breath without realizing it.

In the distance, he could feel a man standing on a golem quietly looking down at him.

‘Wait, why is there another hunter at the gate that the association has blocked access to?’

At first, he thought his appearance was a miracle, but as the situation calmed down, his anxiety soared.

Access to this gate has clearly been restricted to investigate abnormal conversions. But another hunter is sneaking in?

‘It wasn’t a time to be happy just because I’m alive.’

Ahn Yoonseung looked up at the person approaching him with a nervous face.

He thought that the hunter he met inside the gate was the most untrustworthy thing in the world.

Even though he was wearing expensive equipment, he was seriously injured. Of course, he was suspicious of Kim Kiryeo’s intentions and was scared.

‘Don’t come any closer…!’

Tuk.

The man, who was approaching at a slow pace, stopped with just one step left.

To be honest, Kim Kiryeo had a face that could easily scare others.

The fierce small eyes with the whites of the eyes exposed gave an impression that was difficult to say was good, even as a joke.

“Are you okay?”

However, the sentence that soon came out of the man’s mouth was different from what was expected.

“Would you like me to help you?”

Kim Kiryeo held out his right hand to Ahn Yoonseung.

It was a dry attitude, but it was clearly an expression of goodwill.

***

There was a time when he was afraid of this unknown awakened person.

However, Ahn Yoonseung soon let down his guard.

“Actually, I just found out that this is the gate I shouldn’t enter.”

“Didn’t you see the yellow line around it?”

“Ah, damn it. That’s a sign.”

It turns out that this mysterious hunter entered the cave by mistake.

In the end, he was neither involved in illegal activities nor a murderer hiding behind the gate.

He felt relieved.

‘I wondered if he was doing something strange because he was inside a gate that prohibited entry. Well, the tape may have been placed in an ambiguous place.’

It’s still a little strange to see him stay calm even after going through the gate where the mutation took place. Still, Ahn Yoonseung expressed his gratitude again.

“Thank you so much for your help.”

“O, oh, yeah.”

The answer that came back was plain, but it’s okay.

Ahn Yoonseung walked down the street, feeling fortunate that he was saved by a friendly hunter.

Soon, a pale blue light seeped out from the end of the curved path in the cave.

“We’re here. Can I really just take you all the way here?”

“Cough, yes. Once the radio waves reach…”

As he passed through the gate he found, he finally saw the familiar scenery of the mountains.

“Could you please let me lean against a tree? It’s hard to stand…”

As soon as Ahn Yoonseung came out, he pointed to a tree, and the other person readily accepted the request.

Of course, Ahn Yoonseung’s call was connected quickly without even having time to hear his ringtone.

–Yoonseung-ah! Are you alive? I’ve already contacted the association and 119! People are on their way. Hang in there!

As soon as they were connected, the Hunter Guild he belonged to poured out his words quickly.

It turned out that one of the team members who had run away seemed to have explained the situation to the company as a last act of conscience. Ahn Yoonseung was happy to hear that the rescue team was coming.

“Did you hear that? The people in our company…”

However, Ahn Yoonseung couldn’t finish his sentence.

He opened his eyes wide. That’s because the hunter who was by his side until just now has disappeared.

“O, oh!”

He looked around belatedly, but there wasn’t even a trace. He probably left quietly when he was distracted by the phone call.

That hunter left without saying anything?

To Yoonseung, this fact was shocking in a different way.

“Wait, you didn’t even tell me your name!”

The mysterious hunter who saved him didn’t ask for anything in return from the beginning.

However, that simply means that the topic wasn’t brought up first.

To be honest, he thought that if he came forward and said that he wanted a reward, he would pretend that it couldn’t be helped.

But now he has suddenly disappeared as if he had expected it?

–Yoonseung-ah. Hey, Ahn Yoonseung! What’s going on?

Ahn Yoonseung didn’t even have time to respond to the voice ringing from the mobile phone speaker.

Hunter society is harsh.

Since this is an industry where life and death are at stake, it is actually rare to be lucky enough to receive help within the gate.

But how could it be that the hero who saved him casually refused the reward?

Yoonseung, who actually saw the great man who was only occasionally featured on the news, lifted his smartphone with a sigh.

No one knew that Kim Kiryeo ran away because he was afraid of being caught in an illegal invasion of private land after hearing that a person was coming…

“Manager. That, I have something to tell you.”
