Chapter 94: A Date with the Goddess (1)
The Shadow Demons underwent a dramatic transformation after evolving into Void Devils. Fortunately, their appearances changed for the better. Not to say that their grotesque and terrifying appearance as demons had suddenly changed, but they looked completely different from their previous slightly transparent form.
They used to be rooted to the ground as they came out from the shadows, but their latest evolution now had them floating off of the ground. Their body color had also changed from jet-black to indigo, and their semi-transparent body had become more materialized and defined now.
They possessed a body that looked similar to that of a dinosaur, with an armor-like bone growing from their head, razor-sharp talons, and bodies emitting light from all over. It was truly a strange form.
‘Oh, are they finally going to look cool?’?
Han-Yeol was excited at the idea of his demons starting to become more presentable. He did not really have much dissatisfaction with his Shadow Demons, but he did have a problem with how they looked. However, the Void Fiends, on the other hand, had more than compensated for those shortcomings as they now emanated a far more fearsome and formidable presence.
On top of that...
‘Their abilities are quite interesting...’?Han-Yeol thought as he checked the Void Demons’ skills.
[Void Devil Lvl. 2]
Rank: Low
Experience: 10/222
Innate Ability: Invisibility
Skills: Void Wave, Void Strike, Void Shift
[Void Devil Lvl. 1]
Rank: Low
Experience: 1/111
Innate Ability: Invisibility
Skills: Void Storm, Void Mind, Void Space
The skills looked quite powerful, but Han-Yeol would have to test them in an actual combat situation to verify their effectiveness. However, he could sense their incredible power just by reading the names of the skills alone.
‘Hmm... I don’t know how powerful the Intermediate Shadow Demon is, but the Void Fiends don’t seem that bad. Not to mention, its unique set of skills is quite impressive as well. I guess a ranking exists even among lower-rank demons,’?Han-Yeol thought.
They were not going to remain as low demons forever and would someday evolve into higher-ranking ones, and Han-Yeol could tell that they were already much stronger than their previous form as Shadow Demons.
Han-Yeol was quite satisfied with the Void Demons.
‘Alright, shall we test them out?’?he thought just before someone interrupted him.
[Han-Yeol, who are those two creatures?]
The voice belonged to someone who Han-Yeol was now all too familiar with, Tayarana.
[Oh, these are the creatures that I’ve summoned. I also have the ability to summon demons,] Han-Yeol explained.
[R-Really?!]
[Yeah.]
Initially, it was quite awkward for Han-Yeol to speak to Tayarana so casually, but he slowly got used to it after a while. After all, she did give him permission to be on equal terms as her. In return, Han-Yeol decided to show her eighty percent of his abilities.
Han-Yeol had hidden his abilities all this while since he had been alone and needed to protect himself, but he was no longer alone with the Horus raid party of the Egyptian Goddess now protecting him. However, he still kept a fifth of his ability hidden since it was difficult to trust anyone from the get-go.
Anyway, the protection offered by the Horus raid party gave him enough confidence to display his abilities even though the cameras and the microphones were rolling.
However, Han-Yeol had no idea that the words he had nonchalantly said were going to cause huge ripples.
[W-Wait a minute, am I hearing things correctly?]
[W-What nonsense is he saying? What does he mean by summoning skill?]
[You need to be at least a B Rank Hunter to have a summoning skill, and on top of that, it’s a demon summoning skill, which is a high-ranking skill!]
[Just who in the world is that Hunter?]
[How many skills does he possess?]
[He’s overpowered. A truly overpowered person has appeared!]
[A huge change is about to take place in the Hunter Ecosystem...]
‘This isn’t going to become a huge issue, right...?’?thought the Mulan team. They were a bit nervous after seeing the flurry of messages on the chat.
The Mulan team already knew that their employer was an exceptional Hunter, but they slowly started to realize the longer they stayed around him that he was someone who could potentially stir up a storm in the world.
‘Well, Han-Yeol Hunter-nim is my employer, and he is the one paying me. I shouldn’t care what other people say.’
To alleviate their concerns, they ended up focusing on the money that Han-Yeol was paying them.
In fact, the Mulan team was not the only ones with such thoughts.
‘I was correct. Oppa doesn’t only possess three skills.’?
Yoo-Bi confirmed her suspicions through this opportunity.
She already had her suspicions since the first time she went hunting with him, but seeing the viewers analyze Han-Yeol’s skills gave her further confidence that her suspicions were indeed correct.
‘I knew I made the right choice to stick with oppa! I should be able to land a main host position for a respectable Hunter’s broadcast channel in the event that I can’t stay with oppa anymore.’?
Yoo-Bi could feel her market value as a Porter and Manager significantly go up thanks to Han-Yeol’s revelation.
She had already made plans to shift her career trajectory toward the broadcasting industry if she failed to awaken as a Hunter. A celebrity did not make as much money as a Hunter, but at least there was no risk of dying in the line of work.
Of course, what she wanted the most was to hunt with Han-Yeol for as long as she could and awaken as a Hunter. Then, she was going to be able to proudly stand beside him and fight alongside him from then on.
However, she knew very well that life did not always go according to what you wanted. She was making contingency plans just in case her first choice did not work out.
And while Yoo-Bi was lost in her own thoughts...
[Amazing... It is truly amazing that you possess that rare summoning ability. I would never have dreamt that you would have that ability!] Tayarana exclaimed in amazement.
She could not help but be in awe of Han-Yeol’s ability, which was rare not only among the Horus raid party but in the entirety of Egypt as well.
Summoning skills were not as valuable as support skills or healing skills, but a Summoner possessing high-ranking summoning skills had the potential to be really powerful. Not to mention, most Summoners tended to possess other unique skills on top of their summoning skills, so they were automatically considered to be B Rank Hunters.
Of course, the reality was that there were some who managed to be ranked as B Rank Hunters but failed to pull their weight. These people were the ones who only got their ranking because of their skills.
[Then, can we increase our hunting speed?]
[Of course, I’m itching to go all out from now on.]
[Alright,] Tayarana replied with a nod before walking toward Mariam and giving her some instructions.
After Mariam gave them a command, the Egyptian Hunters simultaneously glared at Han-Yeol.
Stomp! Stomp!?
The Egyptian Hunters angrily stomped away while glaring at him.
‘W-What’s wrong with them?’?Han-Yeol scratched his head in confusion. He did not hear what Tayarana and Mariam had told them as he was too preoccupied with his Void Demons.
The Horus raid party’s hunting speed dramatically increased after Tayarana’s discussion with Han-Yeol.
