He had survived.

  “He was incredibly strong so I praised his skill, saying I’ve never met anyone so good with the sword…… but he said there was a man he couldn’t hope to match…… I asked him for the name and he gave your name. Master Hunter. Master Hunter Kei was the man.”


  ‘.……I see……’


  He had thought something like this might eventually happen later on but this was faster than he expected. Everyone was focused on the two men’s conversation.

  He didn’t typically like having the attention focused on him, but this was the moment when he thought it would be the perfect opportunity to utilize ‘Jeremiah’s Eye’. There was no timing as good as when everyone’s attention was on him to read their thoughts.

  Sungjin touched the earring on his left ear as he gave a half-hearted reply.

  “Well, he’s such an enthusiastic child…… he must have exaggerated the truth.”


  He could hear the inner thoughts of the 9 other hunters.

  ‘Master Hunter…… I didn’t think it was an ordinary Title…… as I thought……’


  ‘That Helm…… isn’t that the head from the vampire castle’s hidden boss…… yeah, it’s the head of the secret boss! Did he kill him? I couldn’t even touch him……’


  ‘He has a ring on almost every finger. Where did he get all of them?’


  ‘Three swords…… the worn out one looks terrible…… but the other two are without a doubt of the legendary class.’


  ‘He’s probably only a little stronger than others…… it’s unreasonable to believe he is able to beat chapters alone.’


  ‘Lucky. It looked like this raid was going to be dangerous, having someone strong is really reassuring.’


  ‘Was he really someone that strong? I guess I’ll find out…… since he’s going to be on the right flank with me.’


  ‘Where did he get that? How many hidden bosses did he defeat?’


  ‘He has a similar build to Hiro…… is he really that strong?’


  There was a problem. Because he heard all nine voices at once, he was unable to tell whose voice belonged to whom or properly recall what was said. The only ones he remembered in detail was that of the ‘Barbarian’ and the ‘Immortal’ who still grasped his hands.

  ‘If I want to listen to nine people’s thoughts at once…… It’s going to require a hell of a concentration……’


  Sungjin thought as he addressed the nine others.

  “Even if I am strong, it doesn’t change the fact that we will need to cooperate on this round. Please trust one another and let us work together.”


  He heard voices once again.

  ‘Ah…… he’s strong and a good human being. A great man.’


  ‘Trust? What empty words. How can I trust strangers? There are trolls everywhere.’


  ‘Immortal and…… two dependable teammates. I guess this raid will go smoothly.’


  Among the voices, one stood out to Sungjin.

  ‘I’ll cooperate for now. At least until…… but if I monopolize 10 people’s worth of contribution…… how much would that be?’


  Sungjin focused on the voice. A rough voice. But he didn’t know who the owner of the voice was yet.

  The only two voices he knew for sure was the ‘Immortal’ and the ‘Barbarian’. Sungjin continued to speak.

  “If we work together we will be able to finish this raid without a single casualty.”


  ‘Hmph. I don’t know how this raid is going to go…… but if only two or three remain…… I’ll make my move then.’


  He was a troll without a doubt. He was looking for an opportunity to strike. Sungjin paid a close attention to his voice.

  ‘Killing the dragon is one thing…… if I wait for a chance while avoiding harm, an opportunity will……’


  That was as far as he heard. The ‘Jeremiah’s Eye’ must have run out of time. The Immortal said

  “Yes, just as you said, we will all get out of this alive if we all work together.”


  He put his hand out among others and said

  “Let’s do a cheer before we begin.”


  The others came forward and placed their hands on top of his. Sungjin participated as well.

  “Let’s win, go team!”


  He shouted raising his arms.

  “Go team!”


  Sungjin raised his hands but didn’t shout along, choosing to concentrate on his hearing.

  “Go team!”


  Among the voices, he heard a familiar rough vocal from before
