Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 157

Chapter 157

I took out an eagle . Edward had a strange expression .

“You can check what there is over there with that?”

“I strapped a camera on its neck you see . ”

It was a high performance camera that could record 4K videos . It was also possible to show it on the display in the van via wireless communication .

Because there was a limit to the communication with an eagle, it was a method that I had thought of and found that it was pretty useable .

“Go see what’s happening over there . ”

The Red Bald Eagle cried shortly and flew into the air . It able to normally fly 100 meters up in the air .

No matter how outstanding one’s senses were unless they often looked up at the sky it would be impossible to find it .

Even if it was found they wouldn’t be able to know that there was a camera on it .

After sending it off like that I turned on the 14 inch display in the van . The recording from the camera was shown .

At first it was a white background where nothing could be seen but as the focus got corrected we could tell that it was the snowy fields .

We could see the van we were riding on first and then the screen started moving swiftly .

After about 10 minutes, the eagle finally arrived at the area in question .

“Ha…… . ”

A sigh came out unintentionally . The area was scorched as if it had been bombarded . The parts of the bodies were scattered around and vehicles were half destroyed as oil leaked out .

In the middle of all this tragic scene was a large man with white hair .

It was a body that seemed to be made of pure muscles .

Even in this cold weather all he was wearing was thin black leather clothes and half his body was still exposed . No matter how powerful a hunter was, there was no way a person would be able to bare this cold so the leather clothes were probably resisting the cold .

The sword he was holding was black as well . It did look powerful but it wasn’t an item I remember . That meant that it was an item that wasn’t sold in the market .

I felt that it was a shame how I could see profiles through the camera . It was certain that he was powerful seeing how he was able to slaughter dozens of hunters alone and destroy the vehicles on top of that .

Either way, it would be better not to run into that guy .

It wasn’t that I thought I would lose but that there was no need to be rash and fight an unknown strong person .

The reason I came here was to find the ruin not to fight strong people after all .

If my party members were here then I might have taken the risk and tried fighting once .

The current Delta Team 1 was truly quite powerful after all . The saying that there is no winning against overwhelming numbers holds true in the hunter world as well you see .

Even if it’s a powerful level 10 hunter there is bound to be an opening and Soo-ah speed as she stabs into that gap or Han Joon-suk’s arrow is really threatening .

I suddenly started wondering what would happen if I fought with the rest of Delta Team 1 .

If both sides prepared to the fullest, I thought I would win . I had the monster army after all .

But if the monster army was left out wouldn’t I lose?

Soo-ah would copy my speed while Aura Blade’s attack power could be blocked by Cho Young-gu’s level 10 shield .

The aerial attack using the Dancing Sword could also be dealt with by Soo-ah .

On top of that, I wouldn’t be able to endure under Han Joon-suk’s Stalker and Yeon-gyeong’s rapid shooting .

Jong Sa-won and Park Han-bum would also try to aim at a gap . Manager Kim is hm…… Either way, it was a dreadful formation when I thought about it .

It could be said that I made it but looking at it like this it really was terrifying .

“Hm?”

My eyes met with him . To be exact, the guy was glaring at the eagle .

The moment I thought his body was fading away .

Bzt!

The screen blacked out .

The eagle I sent didn’t come back . It should be assumed that it got taken care of by that guy .

He didn’t have a weapon like a bow . It could only be guessed that he threw his sword or used magic .

“To be able to kill an eagle 100 meters in the air without any preparation movements…… . ”

“I don’t think I would want to meet that guy if possible . ”

“I feel the same way . ”

It had only matched sights with him and the camera stopped moving and the eagle died . Just looking at that it could be known that he wasn’t an ordinary hunter .

The only thing that could show similar effects would be the level 7 Eight Trigrams Scutum that I had .

However, even that had to be taken out and pointed at and could only be used at a relatively close range .

I wonder what it got killed by .

“Whew . Let’s get as far away from him as possible for now . ”

The van continued moving . We were going around so it would take a bit longer but this way was better .

We were moving like that when the eagle I put in the sky for recon cried .

“What is it?”

I was thinking that maybe that guy appeared but looking at the direction the eagle was at there were dozens of vehicles travelling in a line .

Looking at the direction, it was the same place as the guy .

“Do we have to block them?”

“For what?”

“Those people might die . ”

“It’s none of our business though . ”

Edward frowned .

He was right . Whether they lived or died it had nothing to do with me . And I had something I had to do right now .

Even so, it didn’t feel right looking at people going to die and doing nothing .

Edward who was looking at my expression opened his mouth .

“A human like you, I sometimes don’t know even as I begin to think I know you . ”

“What . ”

“Sometimes endlessly cold and then suddenly show love for humans . ”

“I’m just a normal person . I just can’t pass by people in danger in front of my eyes . ”

“Is that how it is . ”

Edward continued as he nodded his head .

“So . Are you going to help them?”

“I’m not sure . If I approach them right now I might be seen as a weird person but…… I should still attempt it . From what I saw through the video, it doesn’t seem like it would be easy even for a level 10 hunter you see . ”

We moved the van to block their path .

As a large van was blocking the path, the dozens of approaching vehicles all came to a stop . Monster cars, to snow mobiles, to mobiles, every single one of them were extremely expensive vehicles .

It seems America was still a rich country after being isolated . Certainly, the Americas could be self sufficient after all .

A bald white guy got off a huge vehicle with a frown . He put both thumbs into his belt and looked at me from head to toe .

His age seemed to be somewhere around the 50s . Looking through the manual, he seemed to be a level 8 .

His name was John McLain .

“I was going to ride over but barely endured . What are you doing?”

“It’s dangerous if you go this way . ”

“What are you saying? Is there a place that’s not dangerous in this place?”

“It’s not that kind of danger . Weren’t there a number of casualties recently in this area?”

“Why are you asking that?”

I could see his expression harden . There’s no way he wouldn’t know about a freak rampaging like that .

“It seems like the main culprit of that is in front . ”

“The main culprit you say…… Is it the Russian bastards?”

“I do not know that much . But he was a quite strong looking hunter . ”

“Just one? Are you joking with me? Do you know how many people died in…… Either way, it means that it could be the Russian bastards . ”

John approached me and put a hand on my shoulder .

“Where is that bastard?”

“It seems you’re misunderstanding me . The freak over there is…… . ”

“Whatever it is, if it’s a guy that’s causing a mess as you said he should be taken care of . ”

“He is right . It’s dangerous with your level of skill . ”

“What did you just say?”

His expression hardened in a scary way . I had provoked him a bit on purpose . It’s because I thought that he would rush towards that guy at this rate .

“Even if you can win a level 8 hunter…… . ”

He tried to grab my collar .

As I stepped back his hand swung in the air and he opened his mouth with surprise .

“You’re a pretty skilled guy I see . ”

“It seems you’re not believing me . ”

“More importantly . How did you know that I was a level 8?”

“That equipment . They’re all level 8 . There’s no way I wouldn’t know if I have eyes . ”

“So you provoked me even while knowing that I’m a level 8 . Okay . Then I will ask one more time . ”

“Whatever you want . ”

“Why should I trust you?”

A sigh came out on its own at his words . It meant that he will just do as he wants in the end .

“Are you planning on going in the end?”

“Are you telling me to trust a guy I see for the first time and change the direction of this large army? You should know that there has to be appropriate evidence?”

A sigh came out on its own .

I had done as much as I can at this point . I couldn’t jump in to hold him back when he’s saying that he will go die on his own .

“Then do as you want . I have done as much as I can, it would be too late to regret before dying though . ”

I said so and turned back .

“Wait . ”

“What is it?”

As I turned my head, he held up his phone and showed it to me .

In it, the forest region battle was being played .

I rampaging in the enemy base on the back of the Black Tiger holding the Dancing Sword .

There was an overwhelming difference in structure compared to when I was riding a horse . On top of that, my face was captured perfectly .

What . Who had filmed that? Was it a film director?

“This . Is it you by any chance?”

John’s expression was starting to glow considerably .

The mister in his 50s was looking at me like a boy that met a star .

I was going to say that it wasn’t to avoid this situation but I sighed as I nodded my head . If I could save some people by being embarrassed for a bit that would be better .

“Yes . That’s right . ”

“As expected! I thought I saw your face somewhere! Look! James! Eki! Come here for a bit! The Great Summoner’s here!”

Great Summoner?

What was that cringy name?

The name of the team John McLain was leading was ‘Die Hard’ .

I didn’t know this but he said that even his name was from a movie by the same name from one hundred something years ago . I didn’t have much of an impression because I didn’t know such an old movie .

“So…… What’s that thing about Great Summoner?”

“Was it Joon?”

“It’s Jeon Sang-min . ”

“Ah . It’s difficult to pronounce your name . I’ll just say Joon . Either way, Joon you are a complete star in our country right now . ”

“How in the world…… . ”

“It seems you’re the only one that doesn’t know that the video uploaded on EyeTube is really popular . ”

I didn’t look around much else besides the market after all . Also, who would have thought that the video would be passed on over the ocean to America .

The satellite communication network is connected but it was extremely slow . The guy that uploaded it onto EyeTube really had nothing to do .

“Does that earn me money?”

“Hm…… If you shoot an advertisement? However, I don’t think a hunter of your level would need that amount of money . ”

“That is true . Ah . Please have a good day . ”

“Thank you . Great Summoner, could we take a picture together by any chance…… . ”

“Hah…… Please do as you wish . ”

I sat down at a table and signed and shook hands with all the people waiting in a line .

The woman I just signed for stuck close beside me and took out a selfie stick . The chest that seemed like it would burst stuck to me .

It didn’t seem like Yeon-gyeong would be able to compare .
