Chapter 75 Part 2:  Transmutation

His shield slammed into the floor, making a meaty sound.

It was his will to endure until the end.

Though it means nothing in front of me.

«Spatial Interference»

‘I’m sorry, but I honestly didn’t need to go head-to-head with y’all.’

Boom!

I flew through the air.

When I opened my eyes, it wasn’t Min Seo-Joon standing in front of me, but the fake Lee Eun-Woo.

I heard a crackle of electricity.

‘You’re not brainless, you little shit.’

Apparently, he’s been preparing for me to lunge at him.

“Not even you can dodge this!”

He sounded confident.

To be honest, I could have avoided it by simply switching back towards Min Seo-Joon, but I didn’t need to.

«Cozy Breeze»

BANG!

Just as the lightning bolt was about to hit me, I pointed my gun at myself and activated Cozy Breeze.

“Y—your head…!”

He flinched at my action, but was even more surprised that I was unharmed.

“Poof!”

While the fake Lee Eun-Woo’s mouth was still wide open, Kook Tae-Min lunged at me, still clutching the broken spear…

Bang.

I pointed the muzzle of my gun at Kook Tae-Min’s forehead.

I also kicked the hand holding the spear and it flew through the air and landed on the ground.

“Who wants to continue fighting?”

No one answered, perhaps at a loss for words.

I tied up Kook Tae-Min and the fake Lee Eun-Woo with the remaining wire, then looked at Min Seo-Joon, who was left alone, and told him,

“You’d better follow me.”

“That’s…”

Min Seo-Joon surrendered without putting up much of a resistance.

There was nothing he could do now that the damage dealers were all knocked-out.

He seemed to sense a gap between us from the start.

“Oh I forgot.”

I had something to do before I finished my task.

I then pulled the bracelet from the wrist of the fake Lee Eun-Woo.

“N–Noo!”

There was a faint protest, but I lightly ignored it.

?Verifying item..?

?
Bracelet of the Thunder God

Grade: C

Description:
A bracelet with a beautiful design. Legend has it that the bracelet was breathed into existence by the God of Thunder.

Secondary Skill: Blitz (Active/Electrical Charge) Deals 700-800 damage and costs 300 mana. ?

This item is actually pretty good.

The mana cost is a bit higher than I expected, so it’s a bit inefficient for me to use, but it’s great for a mage with a large mana pool, or for a tank to have as a backup.

‘Whatever, I’ll just think about it later.’

I stared at Min Seo-Joon, who was staring at me blankly.

“What are you doing, let’s go.”

In the end, I had to drag Choi Pyeong-Hwa on the wire, while the other two were picked up by Min Seo-Joon, and we headed out.

“Happy dungeon—- Huh?”

“Oh. Please call the police.”

“What?”

“I caught someone pretending to be the Blue Serpent’s Lee Eun-Woo, and found circumstantial evidence that proves their group have been involved In premeditated murder, and that it has been repeated several times inside this dungeon.”

The Dungeon officer who was greeting us looked at me in confusion, but I told him the truth, so I simply shrugged.

“Oh. Ohhh! Yeah….!”

The police were called shortly thereafter.

After handing them over, I was told to come to the police station to give a statement later.

I said yes, and then went straight to calling Baek Mok-Ryeon.

?Hello??

Baek Mok-Ryron answered, still sounding tired.

“Ah, Ms. Baek. It’s Han Seo-Ha. I just got back from the dungeon you told me about… And it doesn’t seem to be what we thought it was. It was actually a typical robbery and murder.”

?I see… Thanks, next time I’ll call you again, if I need to know something else.?

“Yeah. Okay. You must be very busy.”

?Didn’t you hear? Oh… You said you were just inside the dungeon..?

After hearing what Baek Mok-Reyon said, a large electronic display board on a building near the entrance to the dungeon drew my attention.

There was a group of solemn-looking announcers talking intently about something with a gate specialist.

?A gate transmutation has occurred.?

“Isn’t that.. A case that’s been recurring a few times abroad, but never here?”

?I know, I know, right, but now it’s happening in our country.?

“No way. You don’t mean that… It was the wave gate that opened recently… Right?”

I was hoping she’d tell me it wasn’t, but wishes like that rarely come true.

?Yes, that gate was originally a B, but after the… Clearing unit came in, the gate suddenly evolved, and while we’re still measuring the exact grade, we’re predicting it to be at least an A.?

“….What about the clearing units?”

?Well… It’s the first case in Korea, so The Gate Labs is in a frenzy. Thanks to that, it’s been more than a week since I went home without eating properly.?

Baek Mok-Ryeon probably had too much on her plate right now, but my mind wandered around to the thoughts of other people.

Lee Eun-Woo, Jeon Cheong-Woon, and Kim Ki-taek.

They were among the Hunters on the Clearing unit this time.

‘They don’t even know if they’re alive or dead..?’

?This is the first reported case of a gate transmutation in Korea, have you released the list of hunters in the current Clearing Unit??

?The full list has not been released, but the main clearing hunters have been released. It was Lee Eun-Woo of the Blue Serpents, and Jeon Cheong-Woon of Red Flames. Both of them are rookie hunters who have shown a lot of promise recently, and are considered aces in their own respective guilds, so expectations were high for them to lead the next generation of hunters. However, we are unable to communicate with anyone inside the gate recently, so we have to assume the worst.?

I glanced up at the electronic display in disbelief, while the announcers were busy chattering away.
