  1. What kind of hotel is this?

 

And I landed on the other head more stable than I thought.

 

The distorted expression on Georg’s face was visible even from up here.

 

“Hurry up and attack!”

 

At Georg’s command, the dragon’s heads moved wildly and lunged at me.

 

I used that attack to move over the dragon’s head like a stepping stone.

 

Thanks to guiding the movement of the head, the dragon’s head was now quite close to the other side of the lake.

 

Georg shouted.

 

“It’s no use holding on hard! With only that level of ability…!”

 

That’s right. My abilities are limited to this level outside of the hotel.

 

But to be exact, this isn’t outside the hotel…

 

It’s near the hotel, you brat.

 

At that moment, a tall figure came out from the hotel door.

 

It was Dad.

 

Using the privilege of the door desk man, Dad had approached near the hotel door, but it seemed he hit an invisible barrier and couldn’t come out past a certain point, continuing to struggle.

 

But just seeing Dad brought a sense of relief to my heart.

 

Since the quest appeared only 1 or 2 minutes ago, it meant that Dad had been waiting near the hotel door to find me as soon as Sophia arrived at the hotel.

 

‘Dad had also realized that leaving the hint ‘I’m going to the hotel’ for Sophia was a clue.’

 

As expected. 

 

As expected my Dad.

 

I was a little moved, but now wasn’t the time to get emotional.

 

Dad wasn’t in a situation where he could help me.

 

So this is something I have to deal with.

 

Let’s run from now on.

 

Because there’s no way I can win against an EX-class monster.

 

The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it is on my side.

 

I gave up trying to move overhead and ran down the dragon’s long neck to its body.

 

And then I leaped from the point closest to the door.

 

The moment my feet lifted into the air, I heard Georg’s loud voice.

 

“No! Get her!”

 

Even without seeing it, I could feel the heads of the dragon rushing from behind.

 

The moment my body landed on the other side of the lake, those creatures’ mouths would swallow me.

 

“Get her! Bite her!”

 

At the end of the landing, my body fell to the shallow side of the lake.

 

I quickly got up from my upper body and started running.

 

“Qweeeek!”

 

With a terrible roar, something caught on my back.

 

Crack.

 

I heard the sound of clothes tearing and felt warmth on my back, but I just kept running.

 

But before I knew it, the dragon’s head was right beside me, catching up.

 

I’m getting caught.

 

It was at that moment I realized. My legs tangled, causing me to stumble once again.

 

And at the same time, the head of the dragon rushed forward.

 

“Qweeeek!”

 

The head of the rushing dragon hit something and fell back.

 

It’s as if there’s an invisible barrier right in front of us.

 

“What are you doing? What on earth…!”

 

At the same time, a large hand snatched me from behind.

 

“Junghyo-ya…!”

 

With a familiar voice, the tension in my body eased.

 

I jumped backwards as the hand led me, and a purple light twinkled above my head.

 

YeongChun Hotel

 

“Are you okay… What happened… Your back…”

 

And then I unconsciously closed my eyes out of relief.

 

***

 

“The boss suddenly disappeared! But she said she was coming to the hotel…! Yoojun said he would also come to the hotel, so I came here for now!”

 

Sophia’s Korean faltered in the urgent situation.

 

But all the meaning was conveyed.

 

Lee Semyung went straight into the hotel lounge.

 

Almost immediately after he entered the hotel lounge, a window appeared in front of his eyes.

 

A guest in danger has appeared at the door desk!

 

And the moment that window opened, Lee Semyung could feel it.

 

That guest is none other than Junghyo.

 

There was a cold sweat coming out of his spine.

 

Without hesitation, he went to the door desk. However, in that foggy place, neither Junghyo nor anything presumed to be Junghyo could be seen.

 

But the hotel’s system couldn’t lie to him.

 

So there must be Junghyo somewhere over there.

 

Just realizing that fact made his heart race as if it would burst.

 

He felt trapped in a prison that was smaller than his own body.

 

His hair stood on end, and darkness enveloped his vision.

 

But then.

 

“Qweeeek!”

 

Something appeared.

 

From a distance it was a dragon with a lot of heads.

 

But something was moving on the dragon’s head.

 

Even though all that was visible was the shaking hair and the slender silhouette of the body, Lee Semyung recognized who that hunter was.

 

It’s Junghyo.

 

It felt like fire was emanating from his eyes.

 

His heart seemed to burst and come back to life several times as she looked like she was going to fall over and fall into the lake at any moment.

 

But he couldn’t do anything.

 

There was something like a strange barrier blocking him, and he couldn’t escape after about 2 meters from the door desk.

 

Although he struggled in helplessness, he couldn’t take his eyes off Junghyo.

 

Junghyo remained surprisingly calm and agile.

 

Waiting until the head of the dragon she was riding was nearly devoured before jumping to the next head, and then the next, required not only mental strength but also precise physical control.

 

But Junghyo was doing it.

 

As always, her expression showed no hint of wavering or hesitation.

 

‘Is that… the body of an A-Class hunter?’

 

It doesn’t make sense.

 

Junghyo even said that he would only be able to do A-Class pull-ups.

 

Can she avoid monster attacks with just her bare body without any weapons?

 

Even as she dodges the attacks of numerous heads, she is also controlling the monster to bring it closer to the hotel door.

 

It was a skill that could only be said to have been something she was born with.

 

‘When I looked at the world rankings, I thought it was just because of hotel-related skills…’

 

Maybe my daughter.

 

She might have been a remarkable talent even without the hotel skills.

 

‘The statement that she was just the hotel owner… may have been all a lie.’

 

He got goosebumps and at the same time, a subtle feeling of joy came over him.

 

The moment he had that thought, Junghyo saw him. 

 

Her calm, cat-like eyes flickered slightly as they met Lee Semyung’s eyes.

 

Then Junghyo’s lips move slightly.

 

‘I’ll be right there.’

 

With those words, Junghyo’s body leaped forward.

 

Countless dragon heads rushed toward Junghyo’s body.

 

Lee Semyung gritted his teeth without realizing it.

 

It felt like Junghyo’s body would be devoured by the dragons at any moment.

 

What do you mean by I’ll be right there?

 

Even in such a situation, you’re thinking about comforting me first.

 

If those were the last words, Lee Semyung had no confidence in his sanity.

 

However, as soon as Junghyo landed, she ran tirelessly.

 

It was superhuman concentration.

 

Lee Semyung reached out his hands. Although Junghyo’s body paused slightly halfway, he didn’t slow down.

 

And right in front of Lee Semyung, Junghyo’s body fell.

 

Blood was flowing freely from Junghyo’s back as she quickly raised her upper body and watched the dragon’s head.

 

“….!”

 

Lee Semyung immediately pulled Junghyo’s body.

 

“Junghyo, are you okay? What’s going on! Your back…!”

 

However, as soon as he pulled it, Junghyo’s body fell on the floor.

 

Lee Semyung put his hands on Junghyo’s back and back of knee, lifted her up, and passed through the revolving door.

 

It was ominous that his hands were wet.

 

As soon as Lee Semyung arrived inside the hotel, he looked down at Junghyo.

 

“Junghyo…”

 

It was no use calling names.

 

Junghyo’s hand fell to the floor weakly.

 

Lee Semyung took a deep breath and spoke to the manager.

 

“Right now… please open any room right now. I need to get treatment first.”

 

It was when Miyeon, whose face turned white, stuttered in panic.

 

“T, there’s blood on your hands… W, whose blood is that… Could it be…?”

 

“Junghyo is hurt now!”

 

Lee Semyung couldn’t stand that moment and shouted.

 

His eyes were red with heat.

 

“Right now… please give me a room. It doesn’t matter if there are other people. We have to ask for their understanding and let Junghyo in right away. Starting with my daughter… I don’t mind the other hunters….”

 

Lee Semyung hugged Junghyo’s head in tears.

 

It was then.

 

Yoojun, who was already waiting in the lounge, placed his hand on Lee Semyung’s shoulder.

 

He had checked into the hotel like a fishing guest.

 

“First of all, I’ll take a look.”

 

Lee Semyung looked up at Yoojun with red eyes.

 

Yoojun was unconsciously startled by the mana gushing out of his body.

 

He didn’t know Lee Semyung well, but he knew him to be a good and strong-willed person, but now Lee Semyung had a face that looked like he could kill someone.

 

“I’m an S-Class Healer. Hunter Lee Semyung.”

 

After comforting Lee Semyung, who had become blind, a little, Lee Semyung put Junghyo down on the floor.

 

Only then could Yoojun look into Junghyo.

 

‘Odin’s eyes. Activate.’

 

The moment Yoojun activated the skill, he could see red energy flowing from Junghyo’s body.

 

“…It’s magic.”

 

Jan Schulz, who followed Yujun to the lounge, responded to his words.

 

“You can’t cure it without the holy water.”

 

Wounds caused by magic didn’t heal well with simple potions.

 

In this case, holy water was needed. It’s also an S-class holy water.

 

Holy water couldn’t just be created;; it had to be ‘consecrated’ using a paladin’s mana in a strong healing potion.

 

Even if Jan Schulz could do the consecration, at least an S-Class healing potion was needed to make S-Class holy water, but no matter how many S-Class alchemists came, it was difficult to make the healing potion right away.

 

“First of all, whether the Korean Association can get it…”

 

Even before Jan Schulz finished speaking, Miyeon raised her hand.

 

“Um, I’m sorry to interrupt, but…! Wouldn’t an S-Class healing potion be able to treat her?”

 

“…Yes?”

 

Jan Schulz frowned.

 

“Our hotel’s water is an S-class healing potion. It’s called healing spring water.”

 

“…?!”

 

While Jan Schulz was looking shocked, Yoojun nodded.

 

“That’s right. The S-class healing potion here comes out like water.”

 

S-class healing potion instead of tap water…?

 

What kind of hotel is this?

 

To that extent, this hotel was like an S-class… or an EX-class healing hospital.

 

‘It’s also a hospital connected to the inside of the dungeon.’

 

Jan Schulz, who had some doubts about the hotel owner’s world ranking, cast aside all doubts at that moment.

 

And he even reached the reasonable inference that perhaps Junghyo’s abilities wouldn’t just settle for 9th place in the rankings.

 

“Let’s make holy water right now. We have to save the boss.”

 

Jan Schulz spoke urgently.

 

Because saving Junghyo may be for the good of Korea, and indeed the world.
