Chapter 122: Chapter 122

BEFORE Wonhee knew it, she already pressed the button to answer the call from her .

Almost immediately, a green mushroom appeared on the screen.

It was just a shaggy mushroom haircut sported by a petite person wearing a long padded jacket that looked too big for her.

[Their clothes look heavy, but they run fast.]

Wonhee couldn’t really see the face of her because the person had their back to her.

But she could tell that her was running in a vast snow field.

"Are we in the same place?"

["You just figured that out now, dummy?"]

The voice sounded like an angry voice of a woman.

[Are they a ’she’ then?]

"Why the fuck are you cursing out my Wonhee, huh?" Yejun, who stopped attacking the giant snow tortoise, frowned while yelling back at the on the other line. "Don’t let me find where you are or else I’ll freeze you to death."

["Freeze me to death? Ah! Are you that rookie hunter? The one from the Big 4 who has ice power? J*ck Frost’s rip-off?"]

"The Big 4 graduated from our rookie status three years after our debut as the only naturally awakened S-Class Hunters in the country," Yejun said, ignoring the fact that the other person just called him J*ck Frost’s "rip-off." "Why would you call me a rookie? Plus, I’ve been kind of demoted from my Big 4 status recently."

["How the hell am I supposed to know that? You were still a rookie before I got stuck here."]

"Here?" Wonhee asked in disbelief. "Have you been stuck in this dungeon for that long, ma’am?"

["Huh? How old are you?"]

"Both Yejun and I are twenty-five years old, turning twenty-six this year."

["Then we’re the same age. Just speak to me comfortably. That J*ck Frost rip-off has been talking down to me from the beginning anyway."]

"It’s because you were rude to my Wonhee."

["Wonhee? Are you Chu Wonhee, the first S-Class Guide in the world? The System’s favorite child? The lucky one? My supposed ?"]

[That’s quite a lot of embarrassing titles...]

"Yes, I’m Chu Wonhee," Wonhee said. "Your supposed friend..."

["Call me ’Bitna!’ That’s my new name. Hehe."]

[She sounds angry earlier, but not anymore.]

"It’s nice to finally meet you, Bitna," Wonhee said, and then she quickly changed the topic because she was worried about her new friend. "Can you tell us your exact location? Let’s come out of this dungeon together."

["Oh, dear. Bless your innocent soul. If it was that easy for me to get out, I wouldn’t have gotten stuck in different dungeons for years."]

"In different dungeons?" Yejun asked, obviously shocked. "Has the System been sending you to different dungeons? How did you survive on your own?"

["That’s a trade secret, J*ck Frost."]

"Stop calling me by that stupid name, you damned broccoli."

["I’m a cabbage, dumbass. Tannie is right– you don’t know your fruits and vegetables since you call him an orange even though he’s clearly a tangerine."]

"You know Tannie?" Wonhee asked, discreetly pinching Yejun in the arm to stop him from picking a fight with Bitna. "Is he also your administrator?"

["Why would someone like me need an administrator? Tannie is just a friend. Ah, by the way. Thank you for giving him a proper name, Wonhee-ya."]

[She’s calling me in a friendly manner. Are we friends now? I’m happy.]

Wonhee’s mini-celebration in her head was cut short when the ground shook hard once again.

[The final boss is here and yet we’re talking casually...]

"Bitna-ya, do you need us to take the final boss out of the dungeon?" Wonhee asked in a hurry. "Will you get in trouble if Yejun kills the final boss here?"

["Yeah! The System notified me that your J*ck Frost doesn’t know what holding back means when he’s fighting! I still have plenty of ice plants and fish that I need to gather and catch here! I’ll literally die if I don’t gather them within the deadline, so I can’t have you breaking the dungeon!"]

"The dungeon will still disappear even if I kill the final boss outside," Yejun argued. "Because killing the final boss means clearing the dungeon."

["Don’t worry about that! The dungeon will disappear in your world once you kill the final boss, but it won’t disintegrate as long as I’m here!"]

Yejun knitted his eyebrows. "Why do you sound confident?"

["Because I’m Bitna!"]

Yejun even looked more confused, and then he turned to Wonhee with a helpless look on his face. "Wonhee-ya, your new friend is weird."

[I love how Yejun, who usually leaves people speechless because of his cheekiness, is at a loss upon meeting his match. Yejun and Bitna are already giving off siblings’ energy.]

"Yejun-ah, let’s just do what Bitna wants and take the final boss out," Wonhee said while tugging at Yejun’s clothes. "The System isn’t saying anything, so it must mean the System agrees with Bitna."

"I thought I might have to bribe you with another kiss coupon since you said earlier that you don’t follow other people’s orders..."

"You’re the exception to the rule, Wonhee-ya," Yejun said, and then he grinned. "But I could always use a new kiss coupon."

Wonhee just gently pinched Yejun. "Go and capture the final boss, Yejun-ah."

"You said you were in front of the Blue House before the System brought you here, right?"

"Who were with you again?"

"Yool, Ahyeon, Soobin Oppa, and Song Moonho-ssi. The Special Forces were also there."

"Alright. That’s good then."

"Once I use my technique to capture the final boss, the that I created to keep the iceberg afloat will break," Yejun explained. "Once the collapses, the Crack might crush the Blue House. But since Do Ahyeon is there, I guess it will be fine."

"The baby herbivore’s barrier is definitely the sturdiest barrier I’ve seen in my entire career as a Hunter."

Wonhee beamed. "Ahyeonnie is really the best."

"I’ll try to send a message to the Big 4 to let them know we’re coming out of the dungeon with the final boss. And I’ll also ask them to use the baby herbivore’s ability," Yejun said, gently patting Wonhee’s head. "Stay here and talk to your new friend, Wonhee-ya."

ON THE second hour after Wonhee disappeared, President Kwon Jiwoong appeared with some APA Hunters.

Yool raised an eyebrow at Lee Seodam and Park Ruda before ignoring the two.

Later, Yeon Suk-yong– Wonhee’s grandfather and the former South Korean President– also arrived with Shin Geon.

Surprisingly, Fall Guild’s Hamin and Chef Ryung Dae also arrived.

Yool remembered Ahyeon’s conversation with his elusive boss and the world-renowned chef earlier...

["G-Guildmaster, C-Chef Ryung, why are you here?"]

["I just followed Hamin. Dude, why did you drag me here anyway?"]

["Dunno. I just had the urge to come here and see Chu Wonhee. I feel like Chu Wonhee has something important to tell me."]

Yool didn’t get the chance to ask what it was because he wasn’t close with Hamin.

And more people had gathered.

All the big shots were there because of Wonhee.

Everyone was calm because the System assured the Big 4 that Wonhee and Hwang Frost were safe and sound.

But things became chaotic when the ice sphere that Hwang Frost used to "capture" the Crack in the form of an iceberg broke into hundreds of tiny pieces. And then the Crack itself began to disintegrate slowly.

The debris was now falling one by one and destroying the poor Blue House.

So, Yool understood why President Kwon Jiwoong was in a panic.

[But too bad for the APA President, he can’t boss around the Big 4.]

In fact, the Big 4– led by Song Moonho– was already working on their own.

"Alright, the Big 4 will now begin our operation," Song Moonho said cheerfully. "We’ll call this Operation: Save Chu Wonhee." He paused for a moment before shrugging. "And Hwang Frost, while we’re at it."

"So, the priority is Chu Wonhee," Graham said, nodding. "Got it."

Yool started to feel bad about Hwang Frost.

[But maybe it’s because they know that Hwang Frost doesn’t need their help?]

Yool was closely observing the Big 4, so he noticed when Song Moonho, Jang Semi, and Graham all looked up at the same time.

[Their Status Window probably popped up.]

Yool almost had a heart attack when Song Moonho, Jang Semi, and Graham all turned to him at the same time.

Song Moonho called Ahyeon who was standing behind Yool.

[Ah, so they were looking at Ahyeonnie and not me.]

Ahyeon stepped out of Yool’s shadow and approached Song Moonho shyly. "Y-You called, sir?"

"Hwang Yejun has a job for you," Song Moonho said, putting a hand on Ahyeon’s shoulder. "He asked you to create a barrier so that the debris of the collapsing Crack won’t destroy the Blue House and hurt others. I’m not sure why he asked you since you’re just a C-Class Hunter, but Hwang Yejun doesn’t speak nonsense at work."

"O-Okay, sir," Ahyeon said confidently. "I-I’ll do my best."

"Good," Song Moonho said, removing his hand from Ahyeon’s shoulder. And then he looked up at the Crack. "Chu Wonhee and Hwang Yejun are coming out of the dungeon with the final boss."

Yool’s eyes widened in shock.

[They’re bringing out the dungeon’s final boss?!]

Wonhee was amazed while watching Yejun effortlessly catch the giant tortoise with a snowy mountain for a shell using his Skill. It was the same technique that he used to create the ice sphere that captured the giant iceberg.

[His is really beautiful.]

Yejun was suspended in mid-air, his hands raised while his palms faced the direction of the giant tortoise now trapped inside the . It was snowing inside the ice sphere, so it looked like the snow tortoise was nothing but a decoration.

[The ice tortoise was covered in thin ice, so it couldn’t move.]

"Yejun-ah is really amazing..."

["He should be, since he’s one of the people that the System chose to save the world."]

Wonhee was still in a "video call" with Bitna, her new friend.

[She’s still running...]

"Bitna-ya, are you sure you don’t want to meet up with us?" Wonhee asked worriedly. "Maybe if we’re together, we can figure out a way to bring you out?"

["Wonhee-ya, you don’t want me in the outside world."]

"What do you mean by that?"

She was a bit surprised when Bitna suddenly stopped running.

["Because once I get out, the first thing I’ll do is kill my family with my bare hands. Murder is bad, isn’t it?"]

Wonhee felt a chill down her spine, especially when Bitna suddenly turned around. Get full chapters from novel·fire.net

And Bitna had glowing red eyes.

One would think the was a Hunter because of those eyes, but the Status Window above Bitna’s head suggested otherwise.

[Real Name: Seon C*****

Status: Legendary Hunter/Guide!]

"Hunter/Guide?" Wonhee asked in disbelief. "Bitna-ya, what are you?"
