He is a legendary prison guard. - Chapter 16 I somehow became stronger.

Episode 16: I somehow became stronger.

Rattling.

Bayan’s movements stopped, as if someone had suddenly pulled on his body.

His face had a very surprised expression, as if he had seen a ghost.

“Lin Shu… Oh, no, Nameless?!”

Bayan, who was about to say his real name, flinched and said his code name.

Where his gaze was directed, there was a woman wearing a cat mask.

She was wearing high heels and a miniskirt, which did not suit her at all at the gate.

The hunters looked dazed by this unexpected and sudden situation.

The battle was halted in a critical situation, and we barely took a breather, but it was impossible to predict how the situation would change in the future.

Still, the Black Tiger Guild leader, like an experienced hunter, quickly gave rational instructions.

“Healers treat the wounded quickly, and the rest quickly kill the hell-hounds first.”

The plan was to use this opportunity to kill the pesky hell-hound.

“It’s dangerous, so don’t move.”

The cat-masked woman called Nameless raised her left hand in a low warning.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

In an instant, the ground split apart, and a pillar of fire rose high along with a huge explosion.

“Kiiiiiiing!”

The hell-hound that was swept away by the pillar of fire was reduced to ashes with not even a bone left, accompanied by a deathly scream.

“Huhhhhh!”

A nearby hunter shouted in shock with a distraught expression. She almost ended up in such a terrible situation herself.

The other hunters were so shocked that they couldn’t even make a sound and just opened their mouths.

Burning a hell-hound with extremely high fire resistance without leaving a trace using fire magic?

Even a passing dog would laugh.

Sihyeon also couldn’t hide his surprise.

In addition to the shocking power of magic, he could not believe his eyes on another fact.

‘… Didn’t they cast it now?’

I was saying something other than a spell, and the magic was activated.

“Uh, how do you get here?”

Bayan asked in disbelief.

“Why are you so surprised? I found the body of Mr. Lee Kang-jin, whom you killed, and tracked him down here.”

“That can’t be possible… I cut the body into pieces and buried it, and I have all the belongings with me.

“Aha, really? You thought you could fool my eyes with that? You feel like a complete idiot. But did you know that there is also magic that reads the memories of a corpse?”

It felt like Nameless was smiling coldly inside the mask.

“What…? That’s really… No, even if that were the case, the gate would have been closed a while ago, so that doesn’t make sense.”

“It was closed. But what? If it’s closed, you can’t come in.”

Nameless continued, casually saying something that completely broke common sense about gates.

“You seem to think you know a lot. That’s a stupid idea; you don’t even know the subject. You have absolutely no qualifications.”

As she said that and lightly moved her right hand, countless ice arrows began to be created in the air.

“Huh…!”

“Oh my god!”

The hunters widened their eyes in astonishment.

… What is that?

The form was similar to Ice Arrow, a class 1 spell.

At first glance, it looked like a wizard with overlapping skills had used overlapping ice arrows.

But the number was on a different level.

60 stacks? No, 70 stacks?

There were so many ice arrows that it was difficult to quickly count them.

“Didn’t I warn you? Don’t come to someone else’s country and mess around, you crazy bastard.”

When Nameless snapped his fingers, the ice arrows turned into a terrifying downpour and poured down fiercely towards Bayan.

“Stop! Wait, wait! Nameless!”

Bayan shouted urgently, but the ice rain did not stop.

He tried his best to escape, but it was in vain as the ice rain filled the air.

“Keuuuuck!”

Bayan’s body flew backwards and hit the wall hard.

His two arms and legs were tied up with countless sharp pieces of ice nailed into his body, which was covered in blood.

“Ugh… Ah, if your father finds out about this, so will your position.”

“Hmph, I’m letting you live just once because I see your father’s face.”

The hunters watched with complex emotions as they saw the object of fear being subdued in an instant.

As long as you have eyes, you can’t tell that the cat-masked woman’s abilities have surpassed the level she can resist.

If I turned the hilt of the sword this way, I would have to wait for death without making a move.

Sihyeon also swallowed dry saliva and observed the situation.

I was thinking that if I was going to get rid of it, I would have to resort to at least shooting Hellfire.

At that time, a notification window suddenly appeared.

Because it was a completely unexpected situation, Sihyeon’s expression was full of questions.

[After seeing the magic used by the opponent, Poahim discovered its identity.]

What is this?

So, is Poahim finding out the other person’s identity and informing them of it through the system?

[She is Hyris, the silent archmage.]

Unspoken?

Upon seeing that word, a thought came to Sihyeon’s mind for a brief moment.

… So, doesn’t this mean you can use magic without chanting a spell? So earlier…

It reminded me of Nameless, where Sihyeon used magic without any special casting.

If that is true, then this is truly a being that is far beyond the level of an ordinary wizard. He is a magician of an insane level outside the standard.

‘And Hyris?’

I remembered seeing that name somewhere.

As I was pondering over my memories, one thing came to mind.

‘ah.’

I remembered.

I remember seeing it in the description of Accurates.

a masterpiece among masterpieces made with amantium by the legendary master craftsman Joachim. One of the five famous swords of the Leiter Continent. The strength and sharpness are nothing short of excellent, and the sword’s body is beautifully engraved with the magic of Hellfire, personally engraved by Arch-mage Hyris. It was used by a close friend who was executed by Poachim and is being kept by Poachim as a keepsake.

It had the same name as the arch-mage who engraved the magic of Hellfire. There is no way that a magician of this level is the same person, and he must be the one responsible.

Even in his surprise, Sihyeon felt strange, as if something from a legend had appeared before his eyes.

[Poahim feels great resentment toward her.]

… It seemed like there was an adult situation between the two that was difficult to understand.

Poahim wants to give you a quest, but he gives up on your safety. She is one of the most powerful people on the continent of Leiter, and if you were to become hostile to her, you would not be able to deal with her future at all.

Sihyeon made an expression that was completely absurd.

The quest is a quest that will freeze you to death.

Ranked in the top ten on the Leiter Continent?

Then, it is said to be S-class among S-class.

Who has anything to kill at such a young age?

It is strongly recommended that Poahim hide his identity. [Never take out her Gansu-bong or Acure Luts in front of her.]

Of course, it seemed like it had to be that way.

I wasn’t sure, but I could guess from the text in the system that Poahim and Hairis didn’t get along very well.

Sihyeon felt a slight chill down his spine as he thought about the moment when he almost took out Acurelust earlier.

“….”

No one dared to open their mouth first.

I was just watching the actions of Lin Xue, the awakened person of Hail’s.

She suddenly said,.

“Two people died.”

“Yes? Ah… yes.”

One person died in the battle, but the Black Tiger guild leader, who recognized that the newcomer died horribly first, responded.

“One person is injured… Do you want revenge?”

“….”

It felt like the hunters were forcing themselves to control their expressions.

I’m not making fun of you; what on earth are you talking about?

“Looking at the reaction, I know very well. Revenge requires strength. Then, why not get some money and end it?”

“…All right.”

The Black Tiger Guild Leader bit his lip and answered.

As the woman said, if you have money, you can express your condolences to the bereaved families and provide them with some help.

“The guild’s name is Black Tiger Guild, right?”

I wondered how he knew, but then I remembered the saying about reading the memories of a corpse.

“you’re right.”

“Relax; the money will go to you one way or another within a week. I’ll give you a generous amount.”

“yes.”

Here, I had no choice but to answer like that.

With that, Lin Xue disappeared with Bayan in an instant, as if teleporting.

Only then did the hunters sit down, exhaling deeply, as if the tension had eased.

“Ha, ha. I’m swearing.”

“I’m dying… Really… It’s S-class, isn’t it? Didn’t you say that girl earlier was from someone else’s country? What country are those kites from?”

“Seeing as you both speak fluent Korean, it’s an interpretation magic item, right?”

“Don’t wonder, you idiots. I saved your life because I didn’t see your face.”

The Black Tiger Guild leader spat bitterly.

Two innocent citizens died. It may vary depending on which country it is, but it is a number that may cause diplomatic friction.

But since I couldn’t see the other person’s real face, there was no possibility of that anymore.

In fact, that was more fortunate.

Even the remaining people could have saved their lives.

“Brother, are you okay?”

Eunhye asked with an exhausted look on her face.

I thought it was a day worth having.

“It’s okay, are you?”

“me too.”

“okay.”

Sihyeon collapsed on the floor.

The answer was that it was okay, but my whole body was sore because I maintained tension the whole time and used strong force.

As the crisis passed, I realized something was late.

In a situation where his life was at stake, he did not have the strength to overcome it.

weak.

I felt it keenly.

Working as a prison guard is possible, even if you are not particularly strong.

Even when going through the E-class gate, I had no idea that my abilities were at stake.

However, as soon as he met a B-class being beyond the well he lived in, he realized his limitations.

Today, I barely survived thanks to someone’s help, which is nothing short of a miracle, but that was just a fluke.

If this happens again, I will die.

You have to become strong.

The money is good, and the reputation is good.

But in the end, is there anything more important than life?

It is different from everyday society outside.

This is a world where you can die if you are not strong.

“I somehow became stronger.”

Sihyeon muttered with determination.
