119 Naked God 7

Jaehwan frowned. He looked around and only found darkness. But it wasn't like the darkness from the path to . After he checked the Eye of Asura in the sky, he realized he was inside of his unique world, but then another question arose.

'Who is this girl?'

It was strange. No being was allowed to come into his unique world without his permission. Yet this girl was standing there as if she belonged there from the start.

[What the heck are you talking about! You ate me!]

'Ate you?'

[Yeah! Do something!]

He wasn't sure what she was talking about, but it seemed like he did something bad to her. Jaehwan asked, 'What do you want me to do?'

The girl then flung on to him.

[…Save!]

'Save? Save what?]

[Save my only [Follower]!]

'Oh, G.o.ddess…'

He should've run when he realized someone was approaching. Runald looked at enemies in front of him. They emerged from the bushes. They had a dark cape and tattoos all over their face. Runald knew he was in danger.

"You're a fool to walk around the forbidden sites alone, kid."

Runald knew who they were.

Forbidden sites of Caspion weren't only dangerous because of the Ancient G.o.d's Lost Ones. The Lost Ones were definitely dangerous, but there were more realistic dangers lurking around.

'Hunters.'

Hunters were those who lurked forbidden sites to hunt newbie Vicegerents.

"Hey, kid."

Runald then realized their elbows were twisted weirdly, like those of a mantis.

'Followers of Belkain.'

Mid-ranking G.o.d Belkain the Furious Talon.

All of his [Followers] were infamous for being vicious and evil. Runald heard they had moved their base to Caspion, but he didn't realize it was at this Blue Forest site.

"Kid, you hear?"

"Uh, y-yes."

"What were you doing?"

Runald grew anxious. He was against Hunters and [Followers] of a mid-ranking G.o.d. If they found out what he was going through, he would be killed instantly.

"I was just examining the new [Fis.h.i.+ng Spot] I found."

Runald thought up a quick lie.

"[Fis.h.i.+ng Spot]?"

"Yeah. It's the one that my G.o.ddess and I found. Do you want to see it?"

The new [Fis.h.i.+ng Spot] was very valuable to Runald and Andresen. It held tremendous value, but nothing was more important than their lives. The men became excited.

"Whoa, it's really a [Fis.h.i.+ng Spot]!"

"And it's an unregistered one!"

"It's a bit small but…."

"G.o.d Belkain will be pleased!"

The three men looked around the pond and soon, one who looked like he was the leader came up to Runald.

"Kid, did you tell anyone else that you found this place?"

"No, not yet. Only me and my G.o.ddess know about it."

"I see."

Runald then realized greed was filling the man's eyes and he quickly explained, "If it's alright, I will have you take this [Fis.h.i.+ng Spot]. My G.o.ddess tells me to do so too."

"Oh? Did she? Who is your G.o.ddess anyway?"

"It's Andersen."

"…Andersen?"

The man became confused and turned to his friends.

"Hey, you know who Andersen is?"

"Andersen? What's that?"

"…Bah, there are so many of those no-names."

Runald blushed with embarra.s.sment. But it was a common sight and it was sometimes better this way to be ashamed by someone who didn't know then…

"Wait- are we talking about that 'Naked' Andersen?"

Runald frowned.

"Naked…? Oh? You mean the one who was dropped to the lowest rank?"

"Hahaha! So she still had [Followers]?"

The men cackled while Runald silently rose up.

"I-I better get going then."

Runald then picked up the naked black-haired man and thought., 'At least we got him.'

He couldn't feel Andersen's presence, but it wasn't certain that she had disappeared until this man woke up. If Andersen was safe, then it wouldn't be bad to just get out of this situation safely. In the end, Andersen was going to get another [Follower]. That was good enough.

"Wait."

But things weren't going to end up like that so easily. Runald flinched at the voice.

"Put that down."

"…What?"

"Huh? Don't pretend you didn't hear it. Put it down. That's ours now."

The [Follower] was directly pointing at the naked man.
