There were many people around the door, and the same was true inside the door.

“It’s at the level of a 4th-level door beast, so there’s nothing to worry about, right?”

“But don’t be vigilant. If you get hurt, think carefully about who gets hurt.”

“Yes, yes. I guess you can’t remember who was hurt the most so far?”

“…”

Even though they entered the door, In-hwan and Sang-yeon showed no tension.

“Are you going to scatter?”

“good.”

“i get it.”

Seonghyeon went straight into the deeper part of the door.

In order to preoccupy the special door that appeared in Japan.

“Me… Hunter Kim?”

“yes.”

“If you go deeper than now, the number of magical beasts will appear several times more…”

A voice that I don’t know if I’m worried or scared.

If you go deeper into this door, it seems that a greater number of demons are coming out, rather than strong demons appearing.

“it’s okay.”

Seonghyeon’s expression saying it’s okay, for some reason, doesn’t seem to have any intention of dealing with those beasts, so the doubts grew bigger and bigger.

As the saying goes, the deeper you go into the door, the more you hear the cries of the demonic beasts.

I don’t know if the woman I’m accompanying now knows, but Seong-hyeon was already using the stigma on the beast in front of him.

‘Only deal with that beast quickly…’

At least one beast had to be dealt with in order to meet the conditions of that special door.

The woman focused and looked at Sunghyun.

It even felt a little uncomfortable to see him walking without hesitation, as if he had already been to this door.

“…a beast?”

Since it is an area where many beasts appear, of course it was not strange that there were beasts.

Except that the beast is lying on the floor as if it had already been attacked by someone.

“Why is the beast like that…”

If someone else had attacked that beast, there was no way they would have left it like that.

He may have already been attacked by the beast, but the surroundings were too neat to see that.

Seong-hyeon immediately approached the demon who was struggling with pain.

“I am lucky. I don’t know why you are doing this.”

Immediately, he raised his sword and cut the beast cleanly, and Seonghyeon began to apply the overflowing blood of the beast to his body.

“Ki, Hunter Kim? What are you doing…”

Beasts respond to blood.

There was no hunter who didn’t know that among hunters around the world.

In other words, what Seonghyeon did now was to summon all the surrounding beasts.

“Kim Hunter! No matter how confident you are…!”

It wasn’t an easy thing to pass on.

Seonghyeon’s movements that he showed when there was a small friction with Takami wasn’t easy to see, but when surrounded by 4th-class door-level beasts, the limits were clear.

Without the ability to make a wide range of attacks, the one being hunted was more likely to be this way.

“Come on, wipe the blood!”

But Sunghyun didn’t even move.

“Kim Hunter!”

There was no turning back if I delayed further, so I moved to wipe the blood myself, but Seonghyeon raised her hand to block the movement.

Biting her lower lip, the woman gave up on wiping the blood and looked around.

‘Yeah, what do you think?’

To be honest, I don’t have high expectations, but if I get hurt, I wonder if she will give me some treatment.

At least I thought I might be able to save my life.

“…”

But something was strange.

The sounds of the beasts I heard while coming this far were definitely not the only ones.

A little time has passed since Seong-hyun applied blood to his body, but the beasts didn’t show up as they all disappeared.

“How the hell…”

As I was about to relax my tensed body, I heard a voice from somewhere.

[Offer a sacrifice.]

“Who, who…!”

A voice that seems to be coming from right behind, but seems to be coming from right in front of it, as if it were whispering into your ear from above or right next to you.

“Kim Hunter! Did you hear this voice?”

“Ah yes. I heard.”

It was hard to see the reaction of a person who had experienced something that rarely happened.

A voice so calm that I wondered if he came in to hear that voice.

[Offer a sacrifice.]

A voice that seemed to be a little irritating compared to the last time was heard again.

It’s like making a sacrifice.

“My, sacrifice? It’s a sacrifice…”

Seonghyeon pointed to the woman at the voice she heard again and said.

“I will offer this sacrifice.”

“Yes Yes? Hunter Kim? Oh, are you lying? A sacrifice?”

There was no lie in Seonghyeon’s expression as he looked at him.

From the moment you entered this door, perhaps from the first time we met at the airport, the expression on your face seems to have been decided.

“I’m serious.”

“Uh, how…!”

The woman, who was trembling with the feeling of betrayal, was bewildered by Seonghyeon’s momentary wink.

‘…Are you asking me to guess?’

[Is that woman a sacrifice?]

“Yes.”

I looked at myself at the same time as Seonghyun answered, and this time, as I just did, I squinted one eye and gave a wink.

“Yes Yes. I, I am the sacrifice.”

[…I can not admit it.]

“Why can’t you admit it?”

[I do not feel the sublime as a sacrifice.]

“Then what should I do?”

[Make another sacrifice.]

To that, Seonghyun answered without hesitation.

“I will be the sacrifice.”

[Are you going to be… a sacrifice?]

“That’s right.”

[The person who summoned me makes sacrifices.]

“Can’t I be a sacrifice?”

[I was just amazed at your sacrifice and nobleness.]

“thank you.”

“Ki, Hunter Kim? Are you okay? You are sacrificing yourself…”

Nothing else has happened yet, but the things that usually come to mind when talking about sacrifices would be the same for most people.

“It will be fine.”

The woman’s expression, looking at Seong-hyeon’s expression, was confusion itself.

It was the behavior and expression of someone who knew something, but now he was showing a little bit of anxiety about the unknown.

It’s like a person who goes back to the past and goes through what others have been through.

Like a person who puts what he hears into action, he is sure, but not completely fearless.

Seonghyeon stared at the sky quietly, as if he would not make any resistance.

[Bless your soul.]

As soon as the voice ended, a little light appeared in the sky that Sunghyun was staring at.

The light soon began to fall on Seonghyeon.

very slowly.

“…”

Sunghyun looked at the light quietly.

It is a warm light, but it is actually the light that comes down to receive the sacrifice.

The light that came down towards Seong-hyeon soon began to wrap around Seong-hyeon’s body.

The light that wrapped around Seonghyeon’s body slowly revolved around him, then suddenly stopped moving.

Then, as if something was wrong, he fell off Seonghyun’s body and suddenly started approaching the body of the beast.

‘After… success.’

In order to clear this special door, as the voice said earlier, an offering was needed.

A sacrifice with a spirit of sacrifice and sublime while still alive.

It was actually difficult to meet that condition, and there was only one shortcut.

Applying a lot of other people’s blood or the blood of a demonic beast on the body.

[Don’t use this instead.]

Of course, the owner of the voice was not unaware of this.

A being who could even bless the soul could not fall for such a trivial deception.

Just pretending to be ignorant of the spirit of self-sacrificing and sublime sacrifice.

In the first place, there was no one who was insane to put blood on their body in a place where the beasts were swarming.

At best, Hunters in melee combat often get a lot of blood on their bodies, which they wiped off quickly.

Even when he summoned the beasts, he scattered them on the floor, but did not apply them to the body.

The owner of the voice knew this, and he didn’t think he did it to deceive himself.

‘Is this the end?’

I don’t remember hearing anything else after this.

If anything else happened, he had to go through it purely with Seonghyeon’s ability.

“Hey… Hunter Kim?”

“yes?”

“Is it all over?”

“I don’t know either.”

I watched the seat a little longer, just in case, but the voice was not heard again.

“I think it’s over, shouldn’t we go back now? For some reason, the beast didn’t appear, but I don’t know when it will appear again…”

As the woman said, Seonghyeon’s body was still covered in blood, and since the purpose of coming to the door today was accomplished, she turned around without any regrets.

A spear appeared in front of Seonghyeon, who turned around like that after a long time.

[Opening: Rehabilitation]

[Once a month, forcibly infuses the target with piety.]

‘Forcing your faith…?’

Sung-hyeon’s biggest goal right now is to increase the number of believers.

The ability to quickly reach that goal was opened up.

“Corrective…”

“yes?”

“Oh, no. Shall we go now?”

[Rehabilitation Target: This ability can only be used by people with hostility. It cannot be reused for a certain period of time after use.]

Again, the conditions were there.

‘Well, it’s so difficult to make a believer, but it’s probably not going to be easy.’

It didn’t matter what the conditions were.

It was a satisfactory result just that there was a new way to make it.

‘How much more time than that?’

It was clear that it wouldn’t be a short time.

Seeing that there was no other mention, that unkind window seemed to have no intention of telling the time.

‘I don’t think it’s easy to use.’

“Hunter Kim. You look very happy…”

Sung-hyun answered the woman’s question skillfully.

“Oh, is that so? I’m glad I didn’t become a victim.”

“Still, I hope you don’t forget that today’s work is a virtue of Japan.”

“of course.”

During the conversation, we almost reached the entrance of the gate, and In-hwan and Sang-yeon could not see whether they were still hunting the beasts.

“Shall we simply hunt a few and go out?”

“You can do whatever Hunter Kim wants you to do. I was just there for the bare minimum of communication when unexpected things happen.”

Since he used the stigma to kill the beast, he felt a little dazed, so he started hunting the beast without using the stigma.

After lightly hunting about 10 like that, Inhwan and Sangyeon arrived.

“Because hunting beasts is the best.”

“That’s what I agree with.”

It looked like he had been struggling to get to the door the last few days as he was carrying crystals with both hands.

‘…I didn’t know because it was hidden by Hunter Kim, but the other two aren’t ordinary first-year students either.’

In-hwan and Sang-yeon also had one interpreter attached to them, so reports about the battle could be heard later.

It was intentionally invited before being selected for the national academy competition, but it seemed like there was no need for that.

‘Maybe…really, a freshman can become the academy representative.’

Suddenly, Takami, who was the representative of the first year, came to mind.

There is no similarity except for age.

“Thank you for giving me permission today.”

“no. It’s natural.”

After a light greeting, Seonghyeon walked out the door together.
