These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 111

Why is Kang Yoo-hyun here…? He came to save me instead of the raid team? I stared at Kang Yoo-hyun in disbelief for a while.

His normally expressionless face was twisted in irritation. It made sense, given that the villains he hated were right in front of him.

"What… Kang Yoo-hyun?"

The villains looked equally perplexed. After all, they had confidently asserted that Kang Yoo-hyun wouldn’t come to save me. But maybe God is on my side. It’s possible that Kang Yoo-hyun came to me first without being aware of the situation with the raid team.

“So, our hero doesn’t care if the raid team gets wiped out?”

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun didn’t reply to Evan’s sarcastic comment. Was he dismissing it as a joke? But the raid team was really in danger. Of course, it was unlikely that Kang Yoo-hyun would leave me to help the raid team in this situation, but I couldn’t help feeling anxious. Without realising it, I grabbed Kang Yoo-hyun’s arm. His gaze turned toward me.

“It’s fine.”

“…!”

Such words weren’t something he would typically say—unless it was to a heroine he was interested in. Because of this, I felt more bewildered than touched.

But that wasn’t the important part. What mattered was that Kang Yoo-hyun had come to save me. That was far better than being taken to the Laufey Guild.

The issue was that not only Kang Yoo-hyun but also the villains had received auxiliary skill from me, which had significantly boosted their stats.

Especially Baek Si-hoo, whose power was further enhanced by drinking my blood. And Evan, being an all-rounder, was highly skilled in both attack and support. It was clear why the Guildmaster of the Laufey Guild had sent these two.

"Ugh…!”

Kang Yoo-hyun suddenly began to attack. I should have informed him that I had also applied my auxiliary skill to those two, but there wasn’t time.

Kang Yoo-hyun’s skills swept through the area like a Yaksha.

Now that I think about it, I had cast my skill on Kang Yoo-hyun as well, so I could trust him. But the duration…

"Kugh."

I felt a sharp pain in my wrist, which was crushed by Evan’s chains. I retrieved a potion from my inventory and poured it over the wound.

While the visible injury vanished, the fatigue weighing down on my entire body remained, a result of the accumulated exhaustion from my injuries.

The potion healed the wounds but couldn’t restore my lost stamina. This was why a healer was always essential in a raid team.

I wondered if Hunter Guseul was safe. The raid team must have been in chaos. Yong-sik and Yong-sun…

Shaking off the dizziness, I pushed those concerns aside.

My immediate priority was to survive and escape. I endured the throbbing pain in my head and pulled a gun from my inventory.

Pabak!

“Kuk.”

The chain extended toward me but was blocked halfway before disappearing. Evan persistently targeted me while handling Kang Yoo-hyun. And Baek Si-hoo…

Boom!

"Ugh…!”

The place where the three hunters fought was ruined in an instant. As a B-rank, all I could do was hold on so I wouldn't be swept away.

Black energy spread around Kang Yoo-hyun and Baek Si-hoo. Even though they didn't get along well, Baek Si-hoo and Evan had excellent combat synergy.

Moreover, the situation wasn’t favourable. Kang Yoo-hyun was fighting while carrying me like a burden. I had to stand behind him uselessly, unable to help or even join the battle. The S-class fight was just as intense as a boss battle.

Crack, crackle.

At that moment, the ground split open, and something suddenly rose from it. A black object, resembling a monster's hand, attacked Kang Yoo-hyun.

The monster's hand burned with a crackling sound as it collided with Kang Yoo-hyun's passive skill, but the smoke it produced made me uneasy. The monster's hand, the unsettling smoke…

“Fuck, don’t tell me it was that.”

Baek Si-hoo could steal the abilities of other hunters with his blood-sucking skill. However, he couldn’t steal every ability—only those that were compatible with his own.

Furthermore, he couldn’t take the skill as a whole; instead, he fused a portion of the stolen abilities into his own skills. In fact, his blood-sucking skill was worse than simply stealing a skill.

The monster's hand was secretly known among the hunters as the ‘Demon's Hand.' Originally, the wielder of that skill was said to be able to transform parts of their body, but after Baek Si-hoo stole it, a horrific monster's hand was summoned. With my auxiliary skill, that hand became even more grotesque.

"Kang Yoo-hyun, avoid it!"

“…!”

Perhaps because Baek Si-hoo’s ability had been amplified, the Demon’s Hand was even more terrifying than described in the novel and relentlessly pursued Kang Yoo-hyun. A shallow cut appeared on Kang Yoo-hyun’s cheek from narrowly dodging the hand’s claws.

The repulsive hand had a powerful grip and was also formidable. Especially if the arm was wounded or bleeding, it would emit a foul smoke that disabled the ability user's skills. As a result, Kang Yoo-hyun’s passive skills were not working effectively. It was unexpected that even SS-class Kang Yoo-hyun’s passive skills would be affected.

Boom!

"Kang Yoo-hyun…!”

Kang Yoo-hyun used a skill that triggered a massive explosion upon clashing with the Demon’s Hand. I called out his name while trying to avoid being caught in the blast, but my voice did not reach him.

Swish!

“Damn it.”

“Let them fight among themselves. How about we take care of our own business?”

I aimed my gun at Evan’s chains, but shooting at the invisible chains was difficult. My silver gun, which was emitting flames, had a chain wrapped around it like a snake. I frowned and pulled my gun back.

“I have no business with you, you bastard.”

“You always come up with cute remarks, huh?”

I glared at Evan's smiling face. There was something suspicious about how he was dragging things out when he could easily subdue me if he wanted to. It was then that I realised Evan’s feet couldn’t cross a certain line.

‘…A barrier?’

Only then did I realise there was a thin barrier around me. Evan’s chains had weakened as they passed through the barrier, and he could only manage to wrap them around my gun.

That’s why I could still hold my ground. However, setting up a barrier of this level must have required Kang Yoo-hyun to use a significant amount of his power.

‘Shit.’

I gritted my teeth. I had thought that Kang Yoo-hyun, the main character, would be able to defeat Baek Si-hoo and Evan, but he couldn’t.

‘Is it because of me…?’

It was inevitable that I was the one to cast my auxiliary skill on the villains, and now Kang Yoo-hyun was overexerting himself to protect me.

Moreover, the villains initially invaded the dungeon to kidnap me, which is what caused all this chaos.

‘Fuck, what am I thinking?’

The villains were to blame, not me. I just felt a bit of responsibility as a fellow raid team member, especially with so many people counting on my S-grade auxiliary skill. I couldn't be a burden to Kang Yoo-hyun any longer. At the very least, I had to do what I could for now.

"Guildmaster Laufey must be in pretty good shape to be able to pull off something like this."

I said it mockingly. However, Evan's expression did not change much. It was even harder to read his expression now that he was wearing a mask. Nevertheless, I continued to provoke him.

"Well, I was just wondering how impressive he is. I guess the Laufey guild is short on manpower these days? He even used and discarded an all-rounder hunter like you."

“…What?”

His voice cracked slightly as he replied. This was it—he seemed to be sensitive about the Laufey Guildmaster. I quietly rejoiced and pressed on.

“I mean, look at you. He sent you two to carry out a kidnapping in a dungeon where SS-rank Kang Yoo-hyun and I are present. If you fail, you’ll be left to die in the dungeon. Isn’t that just treating you like a disposable tool?”

“Shut up.”

“Well, I was once in a Villain guild too. They don’t care about disposing of people; they can just replace you with anyone.”

Of course, it wasn’t really my place to say this since I was currently possessing Han Yi-jin, who had received special treatment from the Loki Guildmaster. But I needed to distract him, so I kept speaking whatever came to mind. To my surprise, Evan became increasingly agitated.

“What do you know!”

“…”

This bastard is so naive. Is he a kid? I looked at Evan’s eyes, burning with rage in disbelief for a moment. Anyway, I’m almost there. I calmly spoke again.

“I know; I used to be in a villain guild too.”

Srrk.

"So, what I want to say is…”

Srrk!

“Eat this shit! You villain bastard!”

Bang!

I aimed the gun at him and pulled the trigger, but the chained gun missed the target.

"You crazy…"

Evan’s eyes widened in anger. Something quickly approached and covered his eyes. The sound of their passive skills clashing echoed fiercely.

“Yong-sik, shoot!”

Yong-sik's diaphragm inflated rapidly, as if he was ready to unleash his Breath attack in the air.

“Kyaaak!”

It was a poison breath attack fired at contact range.
