Dungeon Hunter Chapter 217:

Chapter 217: Hope (2)

“Rose-nim . . . ?”

"Yes, it's been a while . "

Rose completely removed her cloak as she came closer .

The young lady was holding a long scythe in one hand .

Yoo Eun-hye asked with amazement .

"Why is Rose-nim here?”

"Master told me to come . Yes? By the way, am I scary? Why are you so cautious?”

"Rose-nim shouldn’t be here . Or . . . did you come with the Saviour?”

Rose was confused .

“Saviour? Ahhh ~ that is him . By the way, is that big thing Hope?”

Rose pointed towards one of the team members with her scythe . Two members were carrying something .

But Yoo Eun-hye tensed up even more at Rose’s words .

Why did she know the name Hope? Only a very small number of people, including Kim Yong-woo, knew that name .

Yoo Eun-hye formed tight fists and said .

“ . . . That’s correct . ”

"Wah ~ really? Master, it is correct!”

Rose turned her head and cried out .

Who was behind her?

Yoo Eun-hye’s question was answered in a matter of seconds .

A shadow showed up behind Rose .

Yoo Eun-hye was shocked after seeing the shadow .

“You . . . !”

It was a man wearing a skull mask . A key figure in the guild who always disappeared, yet would reappear whenever they needed him .

People kept on saying he was dead . He had a tendency to move alone until he finally died when exploring a dungeon . Another time was due to a monster wave . At any rate, the majority of people thought he was dead .

Since then, Korea was invaded by demons and overwhelmed . Countless people died and cities were destroyed . Every time, Yoo Eun-hye and other Awakened always thought he would return .

He always appeared when they were facing danger . But he did not appear .

The demons unleashed a large number of creatures and devastated Korea .

So his presence was slowly forgotten .

"It has been a while . Yoo Eun-hye, Edward Windsor . ”

The man took off his mask .

At that moment, Yoo Eun-hye’s eyes shook .

‘Ah . . . !’

That face, she was sure of it .

There was no mistaking it .

It was a face she had memorized and seen many times .

He was the one who found Yoo Eun-hye and built up her foundation .

The man who led her from the front .

He also caused Edward’s talents to bloom .

“Alive . . . you are alive . ”

Yoo Eun-hye spoke with as much calm as possible . She wasn’t her old self . The playful and bright Yoo Eun-hye had become an adult . She was a warrior who knew how to compromise with reality and fight coldly . Now she had the role of leading the party .

“Many things have happened . ”

His voice was different .

A heavy bass . A cold expression .

His arrogant eyes that looked down on everything .

She was pleased but couldn’t crumple . Randalph Brigsiel had been her idol . However, he was already dead .

Maybe he was revived through a demon’s plot .

It didn’t matter if his appearance was the same .

It was now customary to have doubts first .

“Captain-nim?”

One of the members asked Yoo Eun-hye as they stepped forward . They noticed that an unusual atmosphere had formed .

The members who didn’t know the relationship between those two or Rose’s identity were confused .

However, Yoo Eun-hye didn’t hear their voices . She was sweating and trying to conceal the fact that her heart was beating wildly .

"Why are you here? How does Rose-nim . . . ?”

"Why do you think?”

He asked . Yoo Eun-hye was confused .

Rose was one of the Saviour’s children . The Saviour saved Korea and soon disappeared . Only Roy and Rose remained . People held up his children as kings . The influence of the two dark elves in South Korea could be considered the best .

‘ . . . It isn’t possible . ’

Yoo Eun-hye’s body trembled . It was like being hit by lightning .

She had considered it once in awhile . The Saviour hid his face . No one knew what he looked like . Yoo Eun-hye sometimes thought that the Saviour was ‘him . ’ Randalph Brigsiel might have appeared like that on purpose .

But no matter how positive the thought was, it was unreasonable .

There were similar but slightly different parts . It wasn’t simply referring to his appearance . To be honest . . . the person called the Saviour had a very atmosphere around him . Fear . There was something about him that touched their primitive instincts . Sometimes it was horrifying to see his indiscriminate slaughtering of creatures .

Randalph Brigsiel had a different atmosphere .

And their capabilities were different . Although the leader of the Devil Hunters had been the strongest human, he wasn’t at the level of the Saviour .

The dark elves . . . demons or creatures .

The Awakened, including Yoo Eun-hye, were convinced that the Saviour was one of those existences .

Even so, none of them said anything . The civilians had no power . They needed to have faith and hope to rebuild Korea . If he could make them stand up then they wouldn’t question the Saviour’s identity . It was a secret they would keep inside them forever .

However, the captain of Devil Hunters had been a human . She believed he was a human .

He was violent, but Yoo Eun-hye thought he was different from a demon . So far, demons and creatures had never compromised with humans . Korea had only one dungeon but that was changed due to the invasion by other demons . The floors disappearing played a pivotal role .

So the captain couldn’t be the Saviour . It was too far-fetched .

‘Master, Saviour . . . ’

Yoo Eun-hye considered Rose’s words .

But . . . she just couldn’t know .

Her body shook and her eyes rapidly moved . If those two were the same person . . .

“It seems like Kim Yong-woo hasn’t said anything . ”

The man said .

Kim Yong-woo?

The guild master knew something?

It sounded like he knew and was deliberately hiding it from them .

The man had a cynical smile on his face as he spoke .

"I was the one who gave the warning that the demons would gather . ”

"The British leaders . . . ”

“Humans tend to hide their own dirty linen . By the way . . . ”

It seemed like he had confirmed something as he asked Yoo Eun-hye .

"It looks like your growth is fine . Wasn’t the training room quite helpful?”

“Ah . . . ”

Flop!

Yoo Eun-hye’s legs weakened .

Only two words . But they were decisive . Yoo Eun-hye and the Saviour were the only ones who knew the meaning of those two words . The Saviour said that Yoo Eun-hye would know everything after she became stronger . His words were implying that this was the time .

"You . . . an ally?”

She barely managed to open her mouth .

It was natural to think that the Saviour would be a friend .

Yet she still felt anxious .

She couldn’t get rid of this anxiety that came from the deepest part of her heart .

She was glad but now everything was confusing .

If he turned into the enemy then nobody would be able to stop him . She thought that everything was playing into his hands .

“You . . . are you a demon, Randalph Brigsiel?”

The Saviour wasn’t a human .

All the Awakened were sure of it .

There were some who believed he was an ‘angel’ or a ‘god’, but that was also uncertain .

When looking at the angels, the Saviour definitely couldn’t be one . No holy power could be felt from him at all .

In contrast, a **** . . . Yoo Eun-hye’s belief in the gods was completely dead . She also ruled out the possibility that he was a **** .

Creatures . They were the puppets of demons . They were affected by demons .

The rest . . . she hated to admit it, but there was only one option .

There were a few Awakened in Korea who thought the Saviour was a demon . They didn't want to believe it . They self-rationalized it .

More than anything else, the words wouldn’t emerge from their mouths .

Human faith was surprisingly easy to collapse . And once faith collapsed, they were likely to feel despair .

In a world filled with despair, they tried to maintain a glimmer of hope .

Everyone knew it .

Now was the time to think about tomorrow and have hope .

Thanks to that, Korea was in the process of recovery .

‘Please . ’

Yoo Eun-hye looked at him and swallowed her saliva .

It was okay if he was a human .

All his actions could be justified .

But what if he was a demon?

Everything he had done since the beginning would be different .

And he would have had an agenda for raising Yoo Eun-hye .

Her idol that she trusted in would turn into a betrayer . All his actions would need to be reconsidered . It certainly wasn’t good . . .

Soon he opened his mouth .

“That’s right . ”

Chwang!

The members simultaneously pulled out their weapons .

The conversation was translated through magic items so everyone understood the meaning of ‘demon . ’

Demon!

A target that needed to be handled before the creatures .

No, if the demon could be eliminated then the creatures in the dungeon would naturally disappear .

And . . . no matter the situation, they had to destroy the demons .

“S-stop . Don’t attack him . ”

Yoo Eun-hye barely recovered and tried to stop the members .

However, they were members picked from different countries . They hadn’t originally followed Yoo Eun-hye . She was only temporarily the leader because she was the strongest .

Due to this, they were able to move independently .

"But there are only two opponents . ”

"It can't be helped . ”

“Captain Yoo Eun-hye! How can we not fight? The two of them are suspicious so did you deliberately lead us towards them?”

“It isn’t like that . Never!”

Doubts started to form . Even if Yoo Eun-hye denied it, the eyes of the members started to gradually change .

"Then please stay out of this . We can’t just let a demon get away after encountering them . ”

They wanted to kill all demons and creatures . If the opponent appeared then they would attack first .

It seemed like humans and demons could never compromise .

"Power of Heaven!”

"Enhanced Strength!”

"Blessing of Strength!”

The members used buff skills and rushed towards him .

It was something that Yoo Eun-hye couldn’t stop .

She could only stay still .

Yet he didn’t seem threatened at all .

A sardonic smile was on his face .

"I won’t spare those who aim their swords at me . ”

He declared .

Soon, his words became reality .
