SSS-Class Hunter Goes On Vacation - Chapter 67
This is Priya from Messiah.
It seems you haven’t been checking your emails at all, so I’m leaving a message through your dedicated manager.
You must have seen the abilities I’ve shown, but I didn’t expect you to brush off my words so easily. Even if you take possession of , what you can gain from it will be minimal.
This wave is a direct retaliation prepared by . I hope you enjoy it.
If Daphne wishes, there will always be another opportunity to have a proper conversation with me. I hope you make a choice you won’t regret.
I respect you.
From: Priya]
‘Didn’t you once say the whole world owed me? That they were grateful?’
And now that things have gone a bit awry, you’re gifting me three S-class waves as you please.
Suji gritted her teeth.
The ability to artificially create waves was, no matter how she thought about it, too disturbing.
One might think no madman with such an ability would actually put it into action, but looking at Priya, she realized there are many lunatics in this world.
She adjusted her ring and asked.
“Can you hear me?”
As if pleased that Suji had called upon the ‘Great Beings’ first, an answer came quickly.
− What brings you to seek me out first?
“That bet you said you made with the being called Derlord. About that.”
− Yes.
“Didn’t you say there were a lot of damn restrictions on that bet?”
− And?
Unlike Suji, who was flying frantically to stop the wave immediately, his voice was incredibly calm.
Suji asked, inwardly grinding her teeth.
“Then why is there a human who can freely control S-class waves? Did conquering grant such an ability? No, isn’t the difference between this and the reward I received too great?”
− Huh? There’s such a human?
Contrary to her expectations, the dull response made Suji urge for an answer quickly.
“Get your head straight. When did you rush me saying I couldn’t win the bet if I didn’t climb the tower right away? How am I supposed to deal with these adverse conditions if I don’t know anything?”
− Wait. Wait. Ah, I see what you mean. You’re talking about the waves that just occurred. No.
“What?”
− I said no. It wasn’t personally created by a human.
“…What are you saying? Speak so I can understand.”
He hesitated for a moment, as if somewhat embarrassed, before continuing.
− It’s true that I gave you quite a lot this time. I even created new status elements that didn’t exist before.
“So?”
− So, to balance things out, the other side slightly stirred up some trouble.
The other side.
Suji narrowed her eyes and recalled the name she had heard in Laurel.
Surely that monster, with its mouth gaping as if to swallow the sky, called itself Messiah.
It’s a kind of bet where one side protects the Earth and the other destroys it.
“To summarize simply, the dungeons and towers are prepared by the ‘Great Beings’ side, and the waves by the Derlord side?”
− Well, something like that.
Roughly, their structure started to form bit by bit in her mind.
“…This is driving me crazy.”
Still, she understood. If they say there must be losses to balance out the gains.
In any case, the weapon she obtained this time was an enormous gain.
If it can be resolved with three waves, then the weapon side is definitely more beneficial.
But then again.
There was still something bothering her.
“Then let me ask one more thing. About . The that humans believe in and follow.”
− Huh?
“Is that a monster under Derlord?”
− Hahaha. If a follower of can be involved with waves, then that would be the structure.
Suji frowned.
She absolutely hated this kind of ambiguous talk.
“Are you saying it is, or it isn’t?”
− I told you, there are limits to the information I can provide.
She sighed.
Seeing him speak like this when he seemed so eager to say something, it really seemed like there were parts he couldn’t talk about.
She had a rough idea now.
Although she couldn’t get a definite answer, her assumption seemed to fit no matter how she thought about it.
‘…If what Priya believes in so blindly is actually the monster offspring that appears during the Second Wave.’
It would be mind-boggling.
After watching the same video as her, did they think they should follow that monster offspring to prolong their lives even a little?
Really, what are they thinking?
She had thought seemed like some kind of pseudo-religion, but it was worse than she expected.
No matter how positively she tried to view it, Priya, who openly claimed to have summoned the wave, didn’t seem particularly sane.
At that moment, the unicorn flapped its wings and slipped in between the helicopters the civil servants had arrived in. Looking at the military helicopters standing on either side of her, she realized they were now approaching the wave point.
Seeing the civil servants who had spotted Suji clinging to the windows and saluting, she returned the greeting and surveyed her surroundings.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
In the peaceful and beautiful Hallasan Olle Trail, an alarm urging evacuation was ringing so loudly it hurt the ears.
‘Judging by recent trends, it’s bound to deviate from the predicted location.’
That was the really annoying part.
Usually, for AA-class and above, the civil servants who arrived at the scene first could spread out and surround the area, but when it pops up in strange places in a mess, there was concern about unnecessary civilian casualties.
Suji was on high alert, looking around from atop the unicorn.
Then, in the distance near a valley where cherry trees were gathered, she saw the air rippling.
‘I thought the new weapon I created would be inaugurated in the tower. But it looks like I’ll be testing it in a strange place.’
Suji instructed the unicorn to land slowly as she jumped off its back.
“Lady Daphne!”
“Gasp…!”
In the helicopters hovering around her were civil servants looking down with the doors open. They seemed quite surprised to see Suji, and small screams could be heard.
Suji, paying no heed, drew out and gripped it tightly as she fell through the air.
She didn’t want to be held back by trivial matters when there was so much to do right away. She intended to finish it off quickly and return.
“Why do I have to go through this trouble for their bet?”
She muttered complaints without a trace of tension as she lunged towards the monster.
At the entrance of the wave were two centipedes with numerous legs, writhing.
She had already encountered these in the tower.

If there was any difference from when she met them in the tower, it would be that they had a status ailment.
“They were really awful when I met them before, but meeting them again in Jeju’s beautiful natural paradise makes them truly awful.”
She was sincere.
The Sage’s Tower was originally gloomy-looking, so whatever happened there, one could just accept it. But what’s with these giant male and female centipede monsters in such a pristine place?
Suji swung one hand to equip the item from her inventory while simultaneously thrusting down her sword.
As her falling speed suddenly decreased, her characteristics were activated.

“Come on, stop it, centipedes. I can’t play with you forever.”
With such a leisurely whisper, 100 of the ‘s 354 legs were simultaneously severed,
“I have to do a broadcast too, you know?”
With an angry whisper, the poisonous legs were cut off,
“I gave up lying in a hammock and crawled out, and I have to deal with you guys?”
With an indignant exclamation, the body was separated into several pieces.
Suji landed on the ground and swung her rapier lightly with a satisfied face.
It had definitely become stronger and more precise.
The feeling of despair at being blocked by the wall of not being able to obtain a better weapon than what she currently had was peeling away, which was quite refreshing.
Although was an item that could only levitate for 6 minutes, that short time was more than enough for Suji to clear out all the monsters.
There were also a few A-class small centipede monsters, but the civil servants were able to handle them sufficiently.
As Suji folded her wings and completely landed on the ground, the civil servants who had lost their tasks due to her exploits and had focused on support, all saluted simultaneously.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
