    <Regression number 13 is damn right, episode 236>

    Kane was also such a hunter.

    I lost the will to resist Joo Gong-hyeok’s massacre that continued from Babel.

    “…I don’t have any clothes left.”

    When I looked through my inventory I could only find chain armor or leather guards.

    When I came down from Babel I didn’t pack any clothes because I thought I could get them on Earth anyway so I thought I would need them.

    In other words the underwear worn under the armor was all that was present.

    “It’s a little embarrassing but…”

    I was warned by the sheriff not to come in wearing body armor.

    So Kane took off his shirt and went to the village.

    My pride did not allow me to walk around the village looking ridiculous in old underwear.

    “excuse me….”

    “Amazing!”

    A middle-aged woman who was hanging laundry was startled when she saw Kane half-naked.

    Kane sheepishly scratched his head and said hello.

    “Hey ma’am if you have any spare clothes can I get them?”

    “you!”

    The woman frowned.

    “Are you a hunter who came here a while ago? Living outside of town?”

    “…you’re right. ma’am.”

    A feeling of hatred not disgust flashed through the woman’s eyes after hearing the answer.

    “Clothes?”

    “Yes I don’t have any clothes to wear…”

    Kane put two crumpled dollars in both hands.

    “It’s all my property. If you have mercy on me could you give me some spare or used clothes?”

    “Pity? “You feel sorry for me?”

    “…please.”

    “under.”

    She snorted as if she were dumbfounded.

    “You just wait.”

    She snatched the two dollars from her palm and entered the house.

    The sound of scissors cutting through crunchy clothes was heard in Hunter’s sensitive ears.

    thud!

    “Take it!”

    The woman burst open the door and threw out tattered pieces of clothing.

    Fragments of old clothes were scattered in the yard.

    “If you are a tunnel killer go into a tunnel and live there! “Never come out of the dungeon tunnel again!”

    bang!

    The door closed violently.

    Kane held back and picked up the rags flying in the wind.

    ‘These are difficult times.’

    In difficult times you need someone who can take on the hate.

    An easy visible enemy that you can blame.

    “Black….”

    As Kane was thinking such thoughts an alien sound came to his ears.

    It was the sound of the woman behind the door falling down.

    The woman who had turned her good clothes into rags and thrown them away was crying sadly.

    The children stuck their heads out from the house next door and whispered.

    “Hey come here! “A beggar came to my house!”

    “Aren’t you the tunnel killer?”

    “no! You bastard! “You’re begging for clothes at my house.”

    “Oh your mom really hates Hunter.”

    “Yes Hunter said he dragged me to my grandfather’s tunnel a long time ago and killed him.”

    “really? “Is that person that person?”

    “I don’t know either. But my mom says we’re all the same.”

    The hunter’s abnormal hearing transmitted the sounds of children whispering.

    He looked back at the closed door.

    The woman was crying and calling her father’s name.

    “….”

    In a way it is natural that Hunter is hated.

    I have to get used to it now.

    Kane trudged back to the tent.

    Several days have passed.

    Kane somehow managed to piece together the torn rags with poor workmanship.

    There was no needle or thread but it wasn’t difficult with the dexterity of an S-rank hunter.

    “Wow what is that guy wearing?”

    “You’re a beggar! You’re a beggar!”

    However since I’ve never made clothes before the finish was a mess.

    When Kane appeared the children followed him and made fun of him.

    “Eeh~ I’m a beggar~ I’m a beggar~!”

    “I heard you’re coming to the village naked to beg!”

    Kane’s presence in a dull rural town was a source of great interest.

    As the adults always cursed at him the children also looked down on Kane.

    “Hey you beggar! Come up and catch us!”

    “I can’t catch it! I can’t catch it! Heehee!”

    The children climbed the rocky hill above the tent.

    And as a game they sprinkled sand on the tent and threw stones at it.

    Sigh!

    “uh! “I got hit in the head!”

    The stone thrown by the overalls hit the back of Kane’s head.

    He quietly looked up the rocky hill.

    “Hey run away! “Run away!”

    “The tunnel beggar is angry!”

    The panicked children rushed down the rocky hill.

    “….”

    Kane squatted again and looked at the sky.

    I just hit the rock knowingly.

    When the stone split it split but the head did not split.

    His interests were in the sky rather than the village children.

    “It’s not raining…”

    The sun is bright.

    Kane muttered as he looked at the dazzling sun.

    “Isn’t it going to rain?”

    The Texas sunlight warmly beat down on the wilderness as if it were impossible.

    The field was dry and dust was flying around.

    The common phenomenon of the ground cracking is only possible if the ground has retained moisture.

    Kane’s field where such a thing had never happened was filled with desert-like dust.

    “I’ve only watered this once since I planted it. Is it okay?”

    Kane looked at the fallen sapling.

    The same goes for the melon field which hasn’t been watered properly for 20 days.

    “What should I do?”

    Kane was troubled.

    I would like to open a waterway in the Pecos River which is 20km away but…

    “There was barbed wire hanging down.”

    There was a barbed wire fence along the river.

    In other words it means that you must not do anything with it or do anything with it if it is an inaccessible property.

    ‘It’s dangerous if you get caught.’

    Hunters are sensitive to even minor crimes.

    If you make a mistake Joo Gong-hyeok will kill you.

    I secretly scooped up a bunch of water at night and sprinkled it on the field but I didn’t have the courage to do that every day.

    Kane grabbed his head.

    “Ugh is there no way to make it rain?”

    Some hunters could cause earthquakes and send down fire like gods but they were far from physical creatures like Kane.

    The sky was still clear without a single cloud.

    “Damn I wish there was at least one storm….”

    storm?

    A flash of inspiration flashed through Kane’s mind.

    Although he is a warrior who cannot use any magic he has monster organs in his body that produce magical effects.

    Damn it—

    When the stitched chest reinforcement was removed an additional heart was revealed beneath the pounding heart.

    Also known as “The Storm King’s Wrath.”

    It was an organ transplanted from the heart of the boss monster ‘Storm King Nahaka’.

    When fully activated a storm will rage in the area the power of lightning will fill the weapon and the entire body and the user can exert the power of a thousand knights or higher for 10 minutes but it is not necessary.

    ‘If we just create a little bit of rain cloud…’

    Kane massaged the heart with his hand injecting a small amount of magical power.

    The Storm King’s heart which had been paused for a long time was colored with a soft blue light.

    Exciting-

    “oh! “It moved!”

    As his heart began to beat Kane used all his might to control the monster’s organs for battle.

    Exciting- Exciting-

    As the Storm King’s heart beat slowly a strong wind blew across the wasteland.

    It was a damp wind that couldn’t exist in a wasteland.

    As time passed dark clouds blocked the sunlight.

    “Oooooh! It’s a cloud! cloud!”

    Kane jumped up without even noticing the dust entering his wide open heart.

    “good! It’s a cloud! …But what now?”

    It’s good to have clouds but it’s only good if it rains.

    “What can I do? Since we’ve come this far let’s give it a try.”

    Kane raised his sword for the first time in a long time.

    Then he struck his sword in a straight line and shouted.

    “Lightning strike!”

    Kwarung—!

    Lightning fell from the sky following the sword’s trajectory.

    「Lightning Strike (A++)」 It was a skill that Kane learned as a child swinging his sword and causing lightning to fall at the same time.

    “good! Strike lightning!”

    Kwarung!

    “Lightning strike!”

    Kwarung!

    “Strike down at the lightning!!”

    Qarring—!

    Kane swung his arms as if he were holding a prayer for rain wishing for rain.

    “Please make it rain. “Please please!”

    Nearly 100 lightning strikes struck.

    Then Kane’s earnestness seems to have reached the sky…

    Fighting-

    Black marks were carved into the dry ground.

    Soon black water marks covered the dusty field.

    Shootaaa—

    It was a shower.

    “Haha it’s rain.”

    Kane dropped the knife he was swinging.

    “It’s raining~~!!”

    He took off his top and ran around the field like a crazy person.

    I sat down in the mud wiping my face from the pouring rain.

    His face was reflected in a puddle of water.

    “Haha your face is incredible. “It was really shit.”

    A messy beard messy hair and tattered clothes with messy seams.

    It was a typical beggar.

    “Hey it’s okay. “Because it rained.”

    Kane lay down on his back in the mud.

    “Ah I think I’ll buy it….”

    with a splash

    The sound of cast iron boots stepping on a puddle was heard.

    A clanging metal sound heard at the same time.

    Kane got up as if he was thrown out.

    It was the sound of an ‘armed hunter’ that was very familiar to him.

    “You…”

    Two executioners dressed in black stood in front of Kane.

    The stern-looking executioner opened his mouth.

    “Are you Hunter Kane Marques?”

    “uh….”

    Kane’s bracelet glowed brightly and answered for him.

    The executioner raised a blue double-edged ax.

    “Kane Marques OK I am placing you under arrest for violating Category F on the End of the World scale.”

    “Eh Kane Marquez. You violated category F. “It’s a misdemeanor but if you don’t comply with the demands of our bailiffs you could be forcibly taken away or summarily executed.”

    Kane’s complexion became pale.

    He fell flat on his face in the mud with all his might.

    “I know nothing about the destruction of three worlds!”

    “The rain will stop for now~.”

    The old bailiff snapped his fingers and the shower stopped.

    Another bailiff approached Kane and opened the relevant documents.

    “Kane Marquez! “Did you not know that altering the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere is a crime equivalent to the highest level of world destruction Class C!”

    Kane became dizzy.

    It did not occur to him that he had changed the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere.

    “I didn’t know! sorry! “Just take a look!”

    Kane fell so close that he buried his face in the mud.

    The bailiff shouted high-handedly.

    “Kane Marquez! You have used some kind of skill to cause changes in barometric pressure and increased humidity in the Mentone Texas area! This resulted in a 42% decrease in humidity in Texas excluding Mentone and adversely affected the North Pacific air mass and the climate of the American South! Were you aware of this?”

    “I didn’t know at all. “I had no idea…”

    “Then for what reason did you commit this crime!”

    “I was farming but it didn’t rain….”

    “If it rains in Mentone it doesn’t rain anywhere else! “Are you saying you didn’t know this obvious truth?”

    Kane trembled under the executioner’s pressure and answered in a mosquito voice.

    “I’m sorry I’m sorry….”

    The senior executive officer who was watching this lit a cigarette and said.

    “Hey please take a look at this guy.”

    “Why are you doing that? Senior Saphira. “First of all shouldn’t the interrogation be done properly?”

    “It’s because my heart is sore.”

    “Does your heart hurt?”

    The veteran bailiff flicked his hair and lit a cigarette.

    “It’s a familiar face. “I saw it on the 88th floor before.”

    Kane trembled.

    She sighed heavily.

    “You’re Punishment Storm Kane right? “He was part of Special Task Force 0 and the front lines.”

    “…yes.”

    Kane felt very unfamiliar with his nickname which he had not heard for the first time in two years.

    “I am from the Corps. “Besides the 88th floor we fought together often so I’m sure you’ll remember me when I see your face.”

    “…yes.”

    Kane was still burying his head in the mud.

    The bailiff looked at his former comrade and dusted off the cigarette ash.

    “Damn Earth cigarettes taste so bad. “It’s the same with cigarettes and alcohol. This is how you get drunk.”

    “Senior Saphira. However the prescribed process must be followed….”

    “Fill out the report appropriately and take into account circumstances. Look at this guy. Is this a fief? It’s just a wasteland with nothing! “He’s a man whose clothes are covered in rags and who has no home and lives in a crumbling tent over there!”

    “….”

    “Do you think this guy knows about the destruction of the world and such? “This is what happened when a man who didn’t know anything tried to give water to a small field.”

    The junior bailiff looked dissatisfied but kept his mouth shut.

    The senior bailiff continued to smoke heavily.

    “Fuck it’s not just any hunter the hunter who fought Bel Marduk on the 88th floor lives like this. Damn the world is going really well. Joo Gong-hyuk That bastard is just a psychopath. Do you think every hunter on Earth is planning to destroy the world? “That bastard should be put in the mental ward that he created.”

    “Senior Saphira!”

    “okay. okay.”

    She waved her hands and bent her knees in front of Kane.

    “You haven’t registered as a resident here yet.”

    “Yes yes.”

    “I’ll register for you. Rations will be available starting next month. You can get it at the sheriff’s office or county office. If the sheriff bastard or someone else is making a fuss you should report it instead of breaking the pot. “We’ll take care of it.”

    The bailiff stood up and snapped his fingers.

    The once soggy ground has dried up to its original state.

    She walked towards the village.

    “Hey let’s meet the sheriff here. “What is this really?”

    “Do you want to give me a warning?”

    “okay. Fuck. “I need to help fellow hunters.”

    She sighed again and again.

    “Ugh I can’t even do this. “What did we do so wrong putting them in jail for a day and removing the bodies?”

    “Be careful what you say. senior. Then something big happens.”

    “okay. Fuck. If you don’t want to be left behind you should keep your mouth shut. Thank you for your concern. “You idiot.”

    The two Executors slowly walked away from Khaine’s fief.

    Jeok-

    When Kane raised his head dried mud fell from his cheek.

    A desolate wind blew past the few saplings.

    Dry yellow leaves fell on his head.
