A whale

A baby whale was lying on the beach.

He didnt know hed actually see a whale he had only seen on TV.

Its been said that the number of whales has plummeted recently because they were hunted by monsters.

Yoo Ji-Ha looked at the whale for a long time.

Is it dead?

Most of whales land on the sand after death.

As he moved closer with Beom, the Theradrones followed.

[WorldEater]

He seems to be a natural god like Beom, but how did this happen?

Poor thing.

Upon closer inspection, the body was full of wounds and barnacles attached to it that looked painful.

Ji-Ha scratched his own arm because of itchiness¹When seeing wounds, you touched your skin unconciuosly.

Theradrones climbed up on the whales and started removing the barnacles, and Beom also helped with his claws.

I have to do something too.

It doesnt look like hes dead yet, so he took the potion out of the backpack and put it in the whales mouth.

But this guys snout looks a bit strange.

The broadness of the whales mouth was similar to an anglerfish.

Is it because its a world eater?

Eater The one who eats.

Its a great name for someone who eats the world.

Maybe it will grow to a huge size in the future.

Yoo Ji-Ha took out a camping knife and participated in the removal of barnacle.

At that time, a message popped up.

[WorldEater has been hit by a source. 1,500 Essence is required for complete treatment. Would you like to pay? YES/NO]

I wondered why more than 2,000 Essences came in, its because I have to save the baby whale.

Ji-Ha chose YES without hesitation.

Still, hes glad theres a few hundred left.

As time passed, he could see the wounds slowly healing.

Wriggling.

The tail fin was wriggling.

Yoo Ji-Ha, Beom, and Theradrones looked at each other and nodded.

Hes still alive.

This is enough

Its no good for the whale to be in the sand, so he decided to move it.

But where would be good?

Lets go to the pool over there.

Beyond the white sandy beach, he could see a puddle of sea water.

Yoo Ji-Ha lifted the whales tail and put his strength on his shoulder.

I can do this.

It seems to be at least 50kg, but it is worthwhile investing in the stats.

When he moved him and put him in a puddle, the whale suddenly struggled.

Splash!

Oh my!

Furtunately, he wasnt in deep water, so he was able to balance on his feet.

Yoo Ji-Ha admired the slow-moving whale.

The snout was a bit large and looked quite funny.

He put his arm under his stomach to give it strength, and it started running around in the puddle.

After a while, it was able to swim alone.

Its pretty cute.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))

Like all mammal babies, this baby whale was cute.

However, he seemed to be hungry that when Ji-Ha approached, it pretended to bite his arm.

I think youre too young and needs mothers milk.

Unfortunately, all he can catch here is only fish.

Yoo Ji-Ha pulled out a fishing rod he had stored nearby, caught two fish, and let them flow near his snout.

Zoooop!

Oh oh.

The baby whales snout opens wide and sucks in fish like a vacuum cleaner.

A breath comes out of his back hole and his behavior has become quite agile.

Yoo Ji-Ha has taken care of him for a while, and now its strong enough to fight in front of him.

It seems that there is no such thing as a feeling of satiety for the world eater, so he ate all the fish that Ji-Ha caught for him.

Itd be nice if sea monsters were eaten up like this.

Humanity was deprived by the sea to monsters.

Humanity, unable to transport by sea, has shrunk tremendously and the population has also decreased significantly.

He sees that the theradrones grow bigger when they come out of the garden, this guy probably does too.

Ji-Ha wishes he could do something about the sea monsters with their big size.

But dont come to Earth. Youre going to get indigestion while eating trash.

Yoo Ji-Ha murmured while stroking his head.

A few hours later, the baby whale surprisingly jumped out of the puddle and returned to the sea.

Yoo Ji-Ha with the animals saw him swimming.

Goodbye!

But suddenly he heard the hummingbell and at the same time he saw a huge wave coming in.

As Ji-Ha and the animals retreated, the waves crashed into the beach and produced all kinds of seafood.

Oh my Gosh.

Huge amounts of seafood, such as clams that were as big as arms closed their mouth tightly and crabs that were overturned, fluttered on the white sand beach.

Maybe the baby whale gave him a present to thank him for taking care of him.

Beom touched a crab and jumped up after being bitten while the theradrones collected the seafood one by one to prevent it from escaping.

Ji-Ha felt his mouth water.

It looks delicious.

***

A dungeon of an outer giant has opened in Seoul.

There is a precedent that China failed to attack properly and lost hundreds of hunters, so Korea moved cautiously.

Foreign countries ridiculed Koreas move.

Usually, they raised their voices as a hunter powerhouse, but now, they are nothing special.

Prominent hunters, including Kim HyungSeok refrained from entering the dungeon of the outer giant.

Korea has a strategy of attacking from MirWiki, buffs and ether stone shield but theyre still afraid to face the dungeon of an outer giant.

It was because the Outer Giant is a disaster grade monster.

Except for Han Seung-hyuk, who was ranked No. 1 among the hunters, none of the hunters could fight a disaster grade monster.

No, it was hard to just even stall some time.

Some Guilds cant even handle horror-grade monsters, and now, its a disaster-grade monster.

One hunter wrote on a free bulletin board:

Well, I like the ether shield. It is a great strategy if you can reflect the beam with it. But whos going to do it?

There was no one to put the bell around the cats neck²Take the danger upon oneself.

Holding an ether shield means eventually being exposed to the rays of the outer giant.

The power of the rays is enough to cut an entire arm, so who will do it?

If it went wrong or MirWikis information is false in the first place.

No one wanted to die in vain, so everyone stopped holding up an ether shield.

Anyway, theyre just cowards. Well do it, so just watch.

With everyone watching, The Eternal Flame Guild came out.

It is called to be the strongest in Korea when it comes to long-distance firepower that is focused on one point.

In particular, the guild leader, Cha HwaYeon, had a reputation as a flame magician recognized by the world.

However, it was difficult for them to deal with the outer giant.

There is no guarantee that he will shoot the beam right away, and it may take a few minutes to attract attention.

It was difficult for the Eternal Flame guild with many magicians.

To overcome it, Cha HwaYeon joined forces with the Five Star Alliance

Hunters who are agile in Korea stepped up.

The plan is to draw attention and block the beam with the ether shield, and finally finish with long-range firepower.

The Eternal Flame Guild triumphantly entered the dungeon.

***

Inside the dungeon was a space made up of countless cliffs.

A distant cliff was blocking the view, and a thumping sound was heard in the distance.

What is that?

It sounds like footsteps.

By the way, when do we get the buff?

Hunters knew that the buff was applied automatically when they entered the dungeon, but they were nervous.

So far, buffs were applied by touching a specific object in the dungeon.

There were times when you would be blessed with rare artifacts.

Cha HwaYeon waited nervously with her arms crossed.

They didnt plan to move even a single step until the buff was applied.

Then, suddenly, something rose from the ground between the valleys.

Its a monster!

Tongs! Tongs!

Magicians, get back!

The Hunters of the Five Star Alliance rushed to the front.

The monster that broke the ground and protruded out was a large insect.

Was there such a monster? The moment the hunters were puzzled, it spread its wings and a golden wave spread.

Oh!

Aaack!

The hunters thought it was a wave of negativity, so they winced unconsciously, but it wasnt.

A new message appeared on the status window of all hunters.

[Workers Blessing: Attack power and critical strike power increase by 15% until exiting the dungeon.]

Workers Blessing?

There are all sorts of strange buffs.

By the way, why is that mob giving a buff?

The contents came out like this was unusual.

Until now, she didnt know what kind of buff it was, but she had a rough guess.

The insect-type monster that spread the wave had already disappeared.

HwaYeon noticed that it was very similar to the Theradrone that appeared in Mt. Jiri.

It must have something to do with the existence of a worker.

Maybe that worker is a demigod who controls the Theradrone.

She stepped out in front of the crowd.

We got the buff, but how long are you going to keep talking? This is all a waste of time.

It was already known that she was particularly obsessed with clearing time.

Hwiseong pricked his ear and said-

Yeah, lets go soon. Front guard, lead the way.

Marching through the monsters lurking in the valley, the Guild Union finally met the Boss monster.

Outer giant.

A huge monster with big eye was walking under the valley.

A sense of pressure emitted different from other monsters in the dungeon.

Hwiseong gathered all the hunters and said softly-

Everyone saw that article on Mirwiki, right? If you approach it carelessly, your the bones and flesh will separate, so dont approach it, but dont go too far. When it roars, immediately run away, okay?

Wholl carry the ether shield?

When someone asked that question, Hwiseong shrugged.

Hwayeon should carry it. You dont want us to do the first kill.

Literally, Hwayeon didnt want to give up the first kill to anyone.

After contemplating, she finally lifted the shield and Hwiseong whistled.

I dont understand whats so important with first kill.

Its noisy. Its my own business.

It wasnt long before the battle began.

***

Ill be in the car.

A large sedan stopped in front of a general store.

HwaYeon stood in front of the store with her motionless body.

At 8pm.

The door was closed, but she could see a light inside.

Should she open it or not?

She knocked on the door roughly.

Business is closed.

I know, I know, but I need to talk to you for a second.

Come on in.

Yoo Ji-Ha, who was just about to put shrimp on the grill, stopped.

Beom looked up at the uninvited guest from Ji-Has arms.

Wow.

What are you doing here? It sounded like this.

She was dumbfounded by the sight before her, so she opened her mouth before she came to her senses.

What are you doing?

Uh As you can see, Im going to have dinner.

Why are you having dinner now?

I appraised artifacts until a while ago.

Phew

HwaYeon sighed deeply, pulled a chair and sat down opposite to Ji-Ha.

Chijijik-

The shrimp was placed on the grill, giving off an appetizing smell.

HwaYeon was surprised by the size of the shrimp.

What kind of forearm-size shrimp is he grilling?

Where the hell did he get it?

Even shrimp imported from abroad by guild members were not this big.

She spoke to Ji-Ha with a sullen face.

Its a good sell. I didnt have that scroll so I had a hard time in the dungeon

growl-

An embarrassing sound echoed through the store.

Yoo Ji-Ha smiled and asked her-

Would you like to have dinner with me?

T/n: Hi Everyone! Im back! Thank you for all of your support and understanding. I did cut you off like the Ji-Ha last chapter for 2 weeks. Im sorry. But dont worry. Starting this week, I will be updating continously following the schedule. See you on Wednesday! Love you all!
