“Really?”
Noras, the most skilled sorcerer, and the second most knowledgeable being along with the sage, quickly came up with an answer.
[Yes. At first, I thought those hyena bastards were just gathering more ingredients for a spell. Back then, I was on the run so I didn’t think too much about it, but looking back on it now, they didn’t have a base in the Mountain Rage of Beginnings, or at least they didn’t back then. It’s not the place to bring twenty wagon loads of ingredients for a spell, unless it was building materials for building a base. Ah, that’s probably where the magic circle is for this massive pollution!]
“I see. There’s no need to call the Rirus right now since they’re fighting well on their own, but I guess this points us to our next destination, the Mountain Range of Beginnings.”
[Yes, I think that would be best as well. I can’t believe the source of all this terrible disaster lies in the Mountain Range of Beginnings!]
Noras grit his teeth, not hiding his anger.
Han-Yeol wasn’t sure why Noras was so angry, but since most Bastrolings hated the hyenas, he merely shrugged.
“Ah, right, so those things... are all wild contaminants?”
[Yes.]
“What’s the difference between them and regular contaminants?”
[Wild contaminants aren’t under the control of any particular hyena. They don’t have an owner, so there’s no way the hyenas would know even if we get rid of those contaminants.]
“That’s not too bad. We’re going to get caught eventually now that we’ve left Earth, but it’s better to get caught later than sooner.”
[I agree.]
When Han-Yeol was in China, he was under a lot of surveillance due to the spells from the hyena sorcerers. However, when he was traveling abroad in search of the stones and when he was in Korea, the hyenas couldn’t keep an eye on him. Even in China, Han-Yeol allowed himself to be watched in the first place. If he didn’t want to be monitored, he could’ve easily removed the monitoring contaminants.
Since he hadn’t been monitored after leaving China, the hyenas had no choice but to believe that he was still on Earth.
‘They probably still believe I’m on Earth since I didn’t leave even though the war between the Light and Dark Faction has been ongoing. I’ve been on Earth for quite some time now, showing my face occasionally.’
While searching for the stones, Han-Yeol used his movement skill to occasionally be photographed on purpose to make news on social media. That way, the hyenas would at least think that he hadn’t traveled to the Bastro Dimension.
“Wait, you said it was naturally occurring, right?”
[Yes, that’s right. Why?]
“Hmmm.”
‘Demon Eyes!’
Han-Yeol used his trademark skill, Demon Eyes.
‘Karvis.’
[Yes, after a quick analysis, it looks like it will go the way you expect it to, but... those guys are monsters. Is there really a need to purify them with Restore?]
‘Ah, of course I don’t intend to purify them, but I’m just going to ask if I can purify them when I see any wild contaminants among the Bastrolings.’
[I see. Yes, it’s possible.]
‘Great.’
“Mm.”
Han-Yeol smiled in satisfaction when he got the answer he wanted.
“Okay, then, Tayarana.”Fôllôw new stories at no/v(e)lb/in(.)com
[Yeah, Han-Yeol.]
“Do you want to take them on? It’s your first time fighting a contaminant here, so give it a try against these wild contaminants.”
[Sure, I’ll do that.]
Chuck. Shirrr!
Tayarana confidently nodded at Han-Yeol’s question, lowered her face shield, and unsheathed her sword from her waist.
[Tayarana-nim, I will help.]
Mariam tried to follow after Tayarana, but she rejected Mariam’s offer.
[No, it’s okay.]
[Sorry?]
Mariam was visibly confused by her rejection. Mariam usually didn’t express her emotions, especially in front of Tayarana, but even for her, Tayarana’s rejection was a bit of a shock.
[T-Tayarana-nim.]
[I want to enjoy my first fight with the contaminants by myself, so please don’t interrupt me.]
[Alright... I-I understand.]
