Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 170
Episode 170
Seo-ra looked up at him and slowly blinked.
“…why.”
〖“….”〗
“Why did you appear? “You’ve been hiding it all this time…”
Seora smiled at the man.
The fox’s appearance disappeared and the man with platinum blonde hair and green eyes was revealed to be the same beauty she had met in her dream.
I wasn’t particularly surprised. Because I already knew.
Of course, I didn’t know from the beginning. However, after several encounters, I became suspicious, and it was only when I met him in a dream I had on New Year’s Day that I was finally convinced.
How could I not know? His eyes are the same as the eyes of the nine-tailed fox she loves.
But it seemed like he didn’t want to reveal it because he was hiding it, so I pretended not to know until the end. If he wanted it, I was going to go along with it, whatever the reason.
But why did it appear now? If you wanted to hide it, just hide it until the end.
〖“Even if there is a reason, it is not more important than your wounds.”〗
The manager smiled bitterly as he calmly asked the reason.
Seo-ra’s body, which he was holding, was gradually losing strength. My eyes were barely open and I felt like I was about to lose consciousness. Then it becomes truly irreversible.
The manager’s hand pulled Seo-ra’s chin. The two people’s eyes met again.
〖“I won’t let you die in vain like this after working so hard for so long to barely survive.”〗
“What do you mean?”
Did you try hard enough to survive? What is that….
But I couldn’t continue what I was saying. The moment the hand pulling their chin gained more strength, their lips met. Seo-ra’s body suddenly stiffened. It wasn’t because of a sudden kiss.
The joined lips parted and something small slipped through the gap. Even though I just held it in, my body instantly became lighter and cooler.
A tremendous energy filled my dying body. The wound on my abdomen healed faster than when I drank the potion.
I could tell without looking. The fox bead that the summoned nine-tailed fox had was handed over to her.
“Guan…”
After Seora swallowed the marble, only then did the manager open his lips. Thanks to the history that the nine-tailed fox has endured for a thousand years, its pale complexion has gradually improved.
However, even if the wound was treated, the blood that had already been shed could not be undone, so I had to get out quickly.
〖“Go to sleep now. “When you open your eyes, you will be out of this horrible place.”〗
“I…”
Seora hurriedly grabbed his arm. But when the manager covered her eyes with his hands, his weak hands fell to his side.
A completely different breathing sound came out of my mouth than when I was barely able to breathe. The steady sound penetrated the man’s heart more than ever before.
The man lowered his head. Her still warm skin touched his forehead. If I didn’t want my body temperature to cool down, I had to get out of here quickly.
However, this is the place furthest from the exit. No matter how much he was, it was impossible for him to escape right away since he was borrowing the body of a nine-tailed fox.
If so, there is only one way left. All we have to do is destroy the core of the maze that is nearby. And since there was no life left nearby, he was the only one who could destroy the core.
〖“Useless. “You should have come sooner.”
He raised his head and glared at a certain point. Ali Russo, contractor of the god Athena. They must have sensed a battle taking place and were running here, but there was still a long way to go. This is because the Chinese hunters who came in with Yuhu are secretly preventing them from coming this way.
Cold anger appeared in his eyes, but instead of retaliating, he stood up, holding the unconscious Seo-ra in his arms. As a manager, there was no way he couldn’t find the core that was so close by.
A little further into the forest. The magic power that spread throughout this maze was connected to a single tree in front of him. The nucleus is contained within this tree.
All the grass everywhere attacked as if sensing a threatening energy, but they were all useless in front of him who could use the cube.
After defeating all attacks with the cube, he took one step closer to the core, and at the same time, a warning message appeared before his eyes.
【Confirm abnormal behavior of the ‘Planet — Earth System Administrator’.】
【The designer’s contract restrains the administrator’s actions. If you exert direct influence on the dungeon, you will incur costs due to non-compliance with the contract.】
As I told Seo-ra, he cannot directly interfere in the world. The same goes for the nuclear destruction of the dungeon.
The situation is different from when I killed the last head of the dying Apocalypse Dragon in the labyrinth. Because Seora couldn’t discover this core. If he, the manager, touches something that even she, the contractor, doesn’t know about, he will have a direct impact, not an indirect one. And he who directly violates the Designer’s sanctions will pay the price.
The price is not death. Designers don’t want that in return.
death? On the contrary, most system administrators are those who live without being able to die, so how can that be the price?
But what’s wrong with that?
It would cost him something worse than death, but he didn’t care.
〖“My poor heart made you like this.”〗
After avenging her parents, Seora’s new wish is to meet none other than me.
I was happy. I was really happy. To be honest, I was very happy that he liked me that much.
Intoxicated with such petty joy, I ended up watching Seo-ra’s repeated risky actions. Forgetting that she was finally able to escape the werewolf’s dungeon for the sixth time.
What’s the point if the girl who saved her life gets hurt again and dies again?
〖“You’d rather hate me.”〗
Then you won’t have to see me risking my life to meet you anymore. That was enough. I would be willing to risk her hating me as long as I could see her living safely.
The manager looked at the tree in front of him with cold eyes. Even though that was all it took, the tree and its hidden core crumbled into powder so easily.
【’Planet — Earth System Administrator’ has destroyed the dungeon’s core. The level 2 dungeon ‘Endless Road’ is destroyed.】
【Warning! Danger detected!】
【Warning! Danger detected!】
【Warning! Danger detected!】
【’Planet — Earth System Manager’ has broken his contract with the designer. There will be a cost for non-compliance with the contract.】
A system message rang loudly before my eyes. However, the smile of the manager who held Seo-ra in his arms in the collapsing dungeon remained the same.
【The ‘Planet – Earth System Manager”s greatest fear is fulfilled.】
【Part of the ‘Planet – Earth System Manager”s memories are passed on to the sole contractor.】
Maybe this is the first and last time I hold you like this.
That is my only regret.

“There’s a dungeon over there…!”
A WDO employee pointed to a gate that was shaking violently. Yoon Jae-heon, who heard the commotion that spread quickly, also rushed over. Over the past few days, his complexion had darkened and died.
“It looks like someone broke the dungeon’s core.”
Since the dungeon is a monster itself, if you destroy the core, everyone can return safely. Whether Ali or Seora destroyed it, everyone just needs to be safe. As long as he’s safe…
The moment Jaeheon put his hands together and prayed, the entire space around the gate was greatly distorted, and the gate emitted a large amount of bright blue light as if it were about to explode. Everyone closed their eyes in pain and turned their heads in the opposite direction.
However, Jaeheon watched the scene until the end, holding back the pain that brought tears to his eyes. Survivors emerged one by one among the blue light. Some people looked around with puzzled faces, while others were unable to move.
Eventually, Jae-heon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar Ali, but Seo-ra was nowhere to be seen.
When will my little brother show up? When will I show up in a normal state and sigh that it was a really shitty dungeon? when. when.
“…uh?”
I held on to my wildly beating heart and waited for a few seconds.
I saw something in the center where the brightest light emanated.
It was a man. He is tall and wears a white shirt that stands out even here.
white shirt? All hunters who enter the dungeon wear combat uniforms and do not wear such uncomfortable shirts.
So who on earth is that man?
“Ugh.”
However, at that moment, the light from the gate radiated stronger, and in the end, I was unable to endure it and had no choice but to close my eyes.
After the light completely disappeared, I hurriedly looked at the spot again, but the man whose features I could not even see properly was not there. It couldn’t have been an illusion created by light, but where on earth did it go in that short period of time?
Moreover, the person in his place was none other than…
“Seora-ya…?”
Everything about men flew out of Jaeheon’s mind. In the very center where the gate was, the all-too-familiar jacket was spread out like a flower that had fallen on the floor.
The jacket he said he had received from the Holy Communion was not because it was expensive, but because he had given it to him, so he had no intention of handing it over to anyone. The jacket, which he said was one of his precious treasures, was torn in tatters and soaked in blood.
Someone’s.
Seora’s fatigue.
“Seora-ya!”
Jaeheon ran with wide eyes.
