Became the Weapon Monopolist of the Gods-Chapter 74: Sultan’s Magic Mirror (4)

The hunters were proud, as if they had accomplished something great.

‘No way... ... .’

I realized one thing there. freёnovelkiss.com

‘This was a test?’

I thought it was just a simple strategy meeting, but it seemed like it wasn’t.

Judging from the atmosphere, everyone seemed to have passed some kind of test.

And it was most likely a test to endure ‘magic’.

The reason I didn’t know about it was because of the blessing ‘Blessing of the Underworld’ I received from Hades.

Even if my magic got stronger, I didn’t feel out of place because of the blessing of the Underworld.

That’s why I didn’t know that the other hunters were taking the test.

That’s because they were hunters who were just walking around outside the barracks, so I naturally assumed that they would be the same inside the barracks.

If I were to make an excuse, it was also because everyone around me (Jeanne, Vanessa, Rachel) was fine, so I didn’t notice.

How could anyone know when the surroundings were like this?

It wasn't like the other hunters showed it either.

Since they were top-tier hunters, their expression management was top-notch.

Anyway.

'Did they become the leader?'

It was absurd, but it seemed that way.

I unintentionally passed the leader test without knowing it.

Exactly─!

The hunters gasped when Crowley's head Laura snapped her fingers.

"Whoa."

"I thought I was going to die."

"If I had been a little later, I would have fainted."

The hunters' expressions relaxed as the test ended.

It felt like they were finally taking a deep breath after holding their breath.

I looked at Jeanne and Vanessa and asked.

"You two knew it was a test?"

"Yes, I guessed."

"I felt like it was something like that."

“But why didn’t you tell me?”

“I thought you knew.”

“Me too.”

“.......”

That might be true, but there seemed to be another reason.

Because if I became a team leader, I wouldn’t be going with Rachel.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that they were targeting me.

Even if I looked into it, it was already too late... ... .

“I’ll assign the teams.”

Lucius spread out the team formation chart on the table.

Team leader is not mandatory.

Even if you passed the test, you could resign voluntarily.

Jeanne and Vanessa also gave up their team leader positions to join me.

However, I decided to remain team leader.

‘It’ll be easier to move this way.’

Rachel was in a position to command the group called Bonaparte.

If she went with Rachel, there was a high possibility that her movements would be restricted in many ways.

I have to watch out for other hunters.

Rather than that, since there are only a few people, it would be much easier to move if I were the leader who could make decisions.

“I’m Dang So-so of Sacheondangga.”

“I’m Namgung Jin of Namgungsega.”

Dang So-so, Namgung Jin, me, and Vanessa Jeanne.

The five of us were organized into a group.

“I’m Seo-jun. Please take care of me.”

I didn’t bother to hide my real name.

It was a common name, so if I didn’t say my last name, it wouldn’t be enough to identify me.

“As you’ve heard, our mission is to search for Room Sultan from ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) the south to the center.”

Room Sultan, the ghost rider, is unpredictable.

Therefore, the ‘4 main units’, each group in the east, west, south, and north of the demonic realm,

and dozens of groups of five each, were to search the demonic realm and send out a ‘signal flare’ as soon as they found the Sultan.

The poison-using Sacheondangga and the bishop of the church were assigned to each group.

Since we had Jeanne, we skipped the bishop.

“Let’s go.”

I led the group while looking at the map.

“What is Seojun Hunter’s awakening level?”

“It’ll be around A-class.”

“A-class? Looks like he just got his level up. I’m about the same.”

I didn’t give a detailed answer to Namgung Jin’s guess.

His magical power had grown close to S-class, but his other skills weren’t even close to S-class.

Namgung Jin, Dang Soso, and Stefan were all hunters who were at the top of B-class to the beginning of A-class, so it wasn’t too much trouble to lead the group just by saying this much.

After walking for a while and escaping the forest, a ruined castle wall appeared beyond the wasteland.

The rubble of the ruined walls were scattered here and there.

It was Nicaea, the capital of the Sultanate of Rum, where the First Crusade had fought against the Sultan of Rum.

“The walls of Nicaea.”

“We should be careful from here on out.”

“The magic is thick.”

The crew members stepped over the remains of the walls with nervous expressions.

In the foggy, eerie ancient city, half-collapsed buildings could be seen everywhere.

Rotting corpses wearing turbans were wandering around the ruins.

There were over 60 corpses on the street alone.

“Tsk, ghost soldiers.”

Namgung Jin frowned.

“Have you ever dealt with them?”

“Yes. They are quite tricky.”

Namgung Jin said with a nervous expression.

“They don’t respond well to attacks. If you want to kill them all at once, you’ll need to use poison or light magic.”

“Poison seems to work.”

“Light magic is the best, but poison is better at neutralizing than regular attacks.”

As soon as Namgung Jin finished speaking, I fired Napoleon’s rifle at the nearby ghost soldiers.

Taang─!

Taang─!

Taang─!

Three magic bullets hit the heads of different ghost soldiers.

Namgung Jin and Dang So-so shouted in surprise.

“What, what did you hear me say?”

“What are you doing! If you do that, you’ll only get aggro-”

Dang So-so, who had been angry, stopped talking. Her eyes widened.

Thud, thud, thud.

The ghost soldiers who had been hit by magic bullets and were rushing toward us collapsed after taking only a few steps.

“What the.......”

Tang So-so looked at the fallen ghost soldiers with an expression of disbelief.

In an instant, her eyes widened.

“!”

The skin of the fallen men was dyed black.

“Poison...?”

You poisoned the ghost soldiers all at once?

As far as she knew, ghost soldiers were difficult to poison.

Since they were dead bodies, a certain amount of poison had to be poured on them for it to take effect.

However, Choi Seo-jun poisoned the ghost soldiers with just one magic bullet.

Tang So-so looked back at Choi Seo-jun with a surprised expression.

“What kind of poison did you use?”

“It’s hard to tell you.”

“...Huh?”

“Let’s clean up first.”

Choi Seo-jun rushed toward the remaining ghost soldiers.

He was holding a large sword in his hand.

‘... ... What is that guy?’

─Entering the battle.

─Your strength increases dramatically due to the effect of the Nemean Lion Leather Gloves.

I swung my twin dragon swords powerfully at the phantom soldier.

Squeak─!

The phantom soldier was cut diagonally along with the leather armor.

I swung my twin dragon swords repeatedly at the guy who was rushing after me again.

Squeak─!

The twin dragon swords felt light, as if I was swinging a bamboo sword.

It was the monstrous strength brought about by the Nemean Lion Leather Gloves.

Thanks to that, I was able to swing my twin dragon swords freely, which I had to drag around and use all my strength to swing once.

More than anything, my twin dragon swords were infused with Hydra’s poison, so once the phantom soldier fell, he could no longer get up.

The conditions for taking them down were difficult, but since they weren’t strong, they weren’t much of a threat to me, who had Hydra’s poison.

The problem was not the monsters but the ‘magic’ of the demonic realm.

When Vanessa, Jeanne, and other crew members joined, the 60 ghost soldiers were taken care of in an instant.

‘They say your strength increases, and it’s true.’

It felt like my strength had increased by dozens of times.

Now that I could swing the twin dragon swords freely, my fighting power was on a whole other level than before.

“...A-class?”

I heard Namgung Jin’s voice incredulous.

I pretended not to hear him and looked ahead.

─■■■!

Heeheeheeung─!

Ten ghost knights riding ghost horses rushed in from far away on the street.

‘The ghosts of the Sultan.’

It was a monster I had seen in a video circulating on the community.

Room in the Demon Realm Aside from the Sultan, this monster was known to be the most difficult to deal with.

Even during the meeting, it was said that if you encounter these guys, you should absolutely avoid an all-out battle.

Taang─!

Taang─!

I aimed at the horse ridden by the Ghost Knight and shot Napoleon's rifle.

However, the guys charged forward without any trouble even after being hit by the bullets.

'Is it because they're ghosts?'

The Ghost Horse was a ghost without a 'substance', so Hydra's poison didn't work on it.

However, close combat was even more dangerous.

The Ghost Knight was an immortal monster that couldn't be cut until it disappeared because it had no 'substance'.

─■■■!

The Ghost Knight riding the Ghost Horse charged at me at a terrifying speed.

"Get out of the way!"

Namgung Jin shouted, but I didn't dodge.

Heeheeheeheeung─!

The curved sword of the Phantom Knight swung at my neck.

However, the sword could not even swing halfway.

Crunch─

Because the arm holding the sword was cut off.

Crunch─ Crunch─

Then, the four legs of the ghost horse were cut off one by one, starting from the front legs.

As if it were a living being with a ‘real body’, the Phantom Knight’s entire body was torn to pieces and no longer attached.

The one who cuts fate.

Vanessa’s scissors didn’t care whether the opponent was real or not, they cut everything.

Crunch─

The body parts of the Phantom Knights who had been following behind began to break apart and roll around the ruins.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“......The Phantom Knight, being cut off?”

Dang So-so and Nam-gung Jin stared blankly at the mysterious sight.
