Kang Yoo-hyun frowned in displeasure at Yoon Eun-ho’s words.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Well… I'm just saying that it's like that."

The whereabouts of the missing Loki Guild members and what they might do in the future remains uncertain. There is a possibility that they might resent and seek revenge against Han Yi-jin, who betrayed them and joined the Odin Guild.

Of course, it might not be easy to touch Han Yi-jin, who is under the thorough protection of the Odin Guild. However, it would be wise to anticipate and be wary against the unpredictable and unreasonable actions of villains. It's natural to be cautious and root them out before they do anything.

But even so, Yoon Eun-ho did not expect Kang Yoo-hyun to pursue the remaining Loki guild members so aggressively. After he returned, he seemed indifferent to everything and even dealt with rating anomaly out of a sense of responsibility.

However, strangely enough, after meeting Han Yi-jin, his aura seemed to change. Yoon Eun-ho glanced at Kang Yoo-hyun curiously.

"Stop talking nonsense and continue the tracking."

"Yes, yes. I will."

Wiping the smile from his face, Yoon Eun-ho activated his skill once again.

Baek Si-hoo, an S-class hunter from the Loki Guild, had the same darkness attribute as Kang Yoo-hyun, which made him cover his tracks and escape.

The Odin Guild had a hard time tracking him down. Yoon Eun-ho sighed.

“It would be nice if you brought Soo-hyun too.”

Until now, the Odin Guild had no one with S-class detection skills. However, after Kang Yoo-hyun's younger brother, Kang Soo-hyun, awakened as a detector with S-class detection skills, he hoped that his job would become a little easier. However, the brothers become obsessed with Han Yi Jin instead. Yoon Eun-ho clicked his tongue inwardly.

Of course, it was important to clear chaotic dungeons due to the rating anomaly. It is important, but it's not like a guy who's just awakened has to go along for the ride.

How great would it be if his younger brother had more time to train, raise his level in low-level dungeons, and patiently guide him as his senior? But to start off with the big battles in hard mode from the beginning. Yoon Eun-ho was a bit displeased with that.

"…He has things to do."

"Of course, he does."

"… "

Kang Yoo-hyun didn't bring Kang Soo-hyun with him to protect Han Yi-jin, who was in the dungeon while he was away. Of course, Kang Yoo-hyun didn't say it directly, but his thoughts were obvious.

“Well, I also agree with your thoughts.”

He was a valuable hunter with S-class auxiliary skill that he had recently discovered. Yoon Eun-ho agreed a hundred times to the guild's special treatment for Han Yi-jin.

However, he did not know that Kang Yoo-hyun and Kang Soo-hyun would actively protect Han Yi-jin. Even though the relationship between the brothers seemed awkward, they worked together surprisingly well at times like this.

Well, there was nothing he could do even if he felt dissatisfied. No one listened to him even though he spoke up. Yoon Eun-ho sighed inwardly, then knelt down and placed his hands on the ground. With all his might, he activated his ability.

His eyes, which had begun to glow green, moved as if searching for the slightest trace. Green energy spread from his hand to the ground, and enveloped the area around him. As he gradually expanded his range, he began to scan even invisible things. His eyes widened as he spotted an unfamiliar trace. Then he frowned.

“This is crazy…”

"…?"

"Not this. It's a total diversion."

With a pale face, Yoon Eun-ho shook his head. His green eyes slowly darkened. He looked back at Kang Yoo-hyun who looked confused, and shouted at him.

“That bastard Baek Si-hoo was never here to begin with!"

"…!"

"Damn it, why did I only detect it now?"

Yoon Eun-ho only realized that it was a diversion when they had come this far. Yoon Eun-ho bit his lip hard. All the traces that Baek Si-hoo left here were artificially created. He realized it too late.

"What kind of scheme is he playing at…?"

There didn't seem to be any traps in the surroundings, so he didn't understand why they would be diverted to such a place. While Yoon Eun-ho was confused, Kang Yoo-hyun's face quickly darkened.

"You go back to the guild."

"Huh? What about you?"

"I'm going straight to Daegu."

"…Ah!"

By now, the Muspelheim Dungeon raid party had entered the portal, and Kang Yoo-hyun could only think of one reason why they had left traces to lead them to this place.

"I'll report to the guildmaster."

"Okay."

Kang Yoo-hyun replied nonchalantly, and his body immediately floated. He started accelerating over the ground at an incredible speed.

Is Baek Si-hoo targeting Han Yi-jin? Did he plan to kidnap him while Kang Yoo-hyun was away? Yoon Eun-ho bit his lip and turned his body and ran faster.

"Whoa…"

I opened my eyes wide and looked around.

A desert!

After passing through the portal, a real desert spread out before my eyes.

"Wow, wow."

I kept pushing down on my toes because I couldn't believe how soft the ground was. I stepped on it until I left footprints, and when I took my foot off, thin grains of sand flowed down.

“Yi Jin-ah, isn't this amazing?"

"Yeah, but it's hot."

The scorching sunlight is no joke. I received a cooling item for the heat, but it didn't stop the stinging sunlight. As I wiped the sweat from my forehead, I realized that my initial excitement at seeing the desert was waning. The desert I saw for the first time in my life was amazing and very hot.

"Huff, huff…”

"Yi Jin-ah, are you okay?"

"Water… Give me some water."

"Here you go."

Eden handed me the water from his inventory to me. Luckily, the water was cold as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator, probably because it was in the inventory.

"Ha… I'm alive."

I sighed and looked around. The raid's leading combat team was already in the midst of battle. I watched from afar.

The Freya Guild actively utilized my auxiliary skill that one of their combatants was able to push through the low-level field with ease, but the Tyr guild did not do anything.

Unlike the Sæ dungeon, the Muspelheim dungeon only had a desert field. So, it was an open field on all sides, and we didn't know when or where the monsters would attack us.

So, they had no choice but to strategically place the combat-type hunters among the support team in the rear. If only they could utilize my auxiliary skill like the Freya Guild, we wouldn't need to go through such troubles.

Sung Yoo-bin cursed, frowning at the inefficient actions in the SS-rank dungeon.

We are just mercenaries supporting the Tyr Guild, and decision-making is the responsibility of the Tyr Guild. If they insist on doing as they wish, we have no choice but to say yes and comply. So, Sung Yoo-bin was forced to face hardships at the forefront.

"Phew…“

Well, anyway, I had nothing to lose. They just let me play around in the back without doing anything. I don't know why they requested support from me if this was the case.

"It's very hot, isn't it?"

"…?"

When I turned my head, the hunter who spoke to me before entering the portal was standing next to me. His name… was it Lee Geun-ho? I nodded my head while looking at him with a puzzled look.

"Yes, it's hot."

"Do you want to use this?"

I looked down at what he held out to me. What Lee Geun-ho gave me was a thin cloth. The thin white cloth has holes like a net. When I was wondering why he gave it to me, Lee Geun-ho smiled and opened his mouth.

"It's a sunshade. Since it's a dungeon item, it has an additional effect. I'm fine, so use it if you need it."

"Oh…"

Perhaps feeling sorry for me because I was sweating profusely, Lee Geun-ho gave me an item for his personal use. I looked at him with a bewildered expression and asked— sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"Do you mind if I use it?"

"I don’t mind. You can use it."

I carefully extended my hand towards Lee Geun-ho, who nodded his head.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

I took the cloth and unfolded it. It was a thin, see-through cloth, and I was a little doubtful I could use it to block the sunlight.

Still, since it's an item, it must have a function. I glanced at Lee Geun-ho with that thought.

"So I just put this on?"

"Yes."

"Hmm…"

I stared at the fluttering cloth for a while, then I put it on my head. As soon as I put it on, I opened my eyes wide as my head felt refreshed.

"Oh…?"

"Is it okay?"

As expected, since it was an item, there was some kind of additional effect, but the cloth covering my eyes didn't bother me at all. In fact, it made my vision clearer.

Plus, it protects me from the scorching sunlight. After looking around, I turned to Lee Geun-ho with a big smile on my face.

"Thank you."

"You look great."

"Ah, haha…"

I smiled awkwardly and waved my hands in front of my eyes.

Even though the cloth wasn't visible, I could still feel the thin fabric in my palm.

But wouldn't I stand out if I was the only one covering my head with a white cloth?

It was when I belatedly had such a thought—

"Yi—Yi-jin-ah. You…"

"…?"

Eden looked at me in shock.

What's wrong with him?

I looked at Eden with my head tilted, and opened my mouth to him.
