123 Chapter 16: Hunters, No Questions (2/2)
Dimensional Pocket was a strange ability given to a handful of hunters regardless of rank when they first awaken.
He handed the coats to all of them. Ad they quickly put the coats on and felt themselves getting warmer. Tae also followed suit when he saw that Susu had put hers on. She looked like she wanted to ask him questions. He patted he head again.
”I brought you here so I'm responsible for your protection,” Tae said to her before he sighed and turned to the other hunters. ”For the rest of you don not ask me questions. Do not ask anything of me. If you don't like this, you are free to leave. I won't stop you.”
The other two hunters had only followed Yue until now, but now they were nodding vigorously. However, the next moment and ice bear appeared
”it's a bear!”
”Its and Ice bear!”
Having smelled humans, the white furred bear with two large icicles on its back. It wasn't happy that its land was being trespassed upon. It stood up towering them. Tae was the only calm one. Yue was about to lunch an attack when she felt her self being pulled back by her hood. she fell flat on her behind and looked at Tae who had his finger pointed at her.
”I'm only going to say this once. All magic beats going forward are mine.
Yue could not hide her confusion while the other hunters casted a dumbfounded expression.
Tae gazed at the bear as it swung an arm the size of a tree trunk with a lighting speed. Bu its attack hit nothing but air.
Slam the bear was immediately crushed from above its head. The ground below it was crushed and fell a inch inward. Tae was crouched on top of its head that had been completed flattened/
(You've leveled Up)
”Who… who the hell are you.”
He Turned to the shaking voice of Yue and the other party hunters who were at loss for words.
”I am fairly sure I made myself clear.” Tae scratched his temple ”Since you don't Like….You can go to them” Tae pointed into the direction Cheol's party headed to.
”I just saw you kill an ice bear in one hit I am not leaving,” Yue said once she snapped out of her shock. Her heart was beating fast, she had instinctively selected Tae over Cheol but now she realized how right her decision clearly was. So before Tae changed his mind she spoke. But held words in her mouth. She was going to say 'Please be our leader' but he said earlier not to ask anything of him so instead she apologized.
”I'm sorry.”
After a brief moment, Tae nodded his head.
It had been three hours in the outside world.
Peony was sitting on her chair seemingly dozing off. Tae had giving her updates on the happenings inside the gate. He had even asked her if she could cook some ice bear meat.
Ding~
The system rang in her head
(Crafting Completed: [Ice Bear Cuisine] has finished)
Seeing that it was done, she sent it straight to Tae and dosed off again. She was the only one considerably calm.
”It has been over three hours” Long said looking at his watch.
”three days they have been inside” Baekho's voice was heavy, he was the only one here to experience the horror of a red gate. He glanced at Peony who's sleeping and wondered how she can be so calm in this situation. As an S-rank red gates are something that wasn't even easy to S-rankers.
”Inside a red gate you could end up in a desert with blazing temperatures, or vice versa a frozen tundra. It could also be a wild jungle with venomous insects” Baekho said slowly. ”the biggest problem is that you won't know it's a red gate until you enter it leaving you unprepared, but, along with harsh environments you will still have to face magic beats. Now that three days have pasted the weakest would have perished by now.”
Cheol Kin was an A-ranker but even he would not have been able to protect his whole party. You would need a whole S-ranker to do that in a red dungeon. So, as such in Baekho's mind D-rank and below are all dead.
However, only one was confident that was. Long glanced at Peony, usually, a married woman would be worried that her husband wasn't going to come back, but she wasn't worried at all meaning she has absolute confidence he was coming back.
