19. Falling Ranks

Suma Castle left first.

‘There aren't that many bad people on the watch list. Unless you bump into me directly. ’

When I first saw the list, I wondered if their personality was different. However, after meeting two people and having a conversation, they did not naturally induce them to feel any ill feelings as well.

They are the children of a family with status and honor in society, but they were not seen provoking or provoking them.

After meeting Suma-seong, Woojin continued to challenge Skull Circle by looking at the ranking list.

And finally, there was only one left. Gangnam Dogo.

Ranks sixth in the school and is the head of the Skull Circle. After leaving him like that, Eugene was due the next day.

* * *

Before Woojin was ranked # 1 in the Academy of Talents.

Many talents rush to prepare for the start of monster hunting.

They were all four categories of organizations that included guilds as well as companies.

An estimated 200 people were currently stationed to subdue the monster's nest.

“Don't slow down just because there are so many people. And since they hunt monsters separately, there will be no help from them. ”

There were four organizations here today, all of which were members of the attacking party. The attackers with fewer than 40 to as many as 50 have decided to go ahead and subdue the monsters' nests.

Although many of these were put together by the government's great support and greed for money, safety has always been a top priority.

Monsters' nests near Gyeonggi-do, including the capital city of Seoul, total more than ten. And combined, the land that was lost by monsters in Gyeonggi-do was quite extensive.

There was also a risk to Class B monsters, but it was more urgent for the government to find the lost land.

After the first monsters appeared, South Korea's land has been gradually narrowing. The government has expressed its intention to expand its territory a little this time.

Monster Nests cost a lot of money, but it was inevitable for the government.

Compensation for a competent person's death and injury during the budget process. And it was about delivering money for catching monsters.

Prior to the start of monster subjugation, the government had everyone involved in the subjugation signed a contract, which was subject to death benefit, depending on whether or not they were competent.

The lowest was one billion, and as many as five billion deaths were paid.

Of course, some companies or guilds are currently being asked by the government to make an annual salary, but this is a reward for all deaths, and killing monsters and collectively paying the dues was a significant amount of money.

Military forces moved together to prevent unnecessary access during the subjugation, and it cost as much as armored troops did.

The process of subjugation is estimated to be roughly full.

The nest of monsters was often a single nest in most areas, namely the Hongcheon area, and it is based at least on the full moon because the power of the skilled people is high to deal with all the monsters in the area.

As the first monster hunt began, four assault stations spread widely through the starting point, and they managed to subdue the monsters through the entire defensive perimeter.

Every time they advance, the armored forces follow behind them, just in case.

Monsters' nests were dense in the forest, making it impossible to enter many types of anti-tank vehicles, followed by a squadron of powerful firearms, and sometimes airborne interceptors, preparing for dangerous situations.

The four assault groups start to herd around and grab the monsters.

Even if a Class C monster appeared to the punitive force, which had a large number of talents, it was not that difficult. They just don't want Class B monsters to show up.

There are currently a number of Class B monsters in Korea, but there are also a number of Class B monsters that are not being located, and there is still no clear information on the number of Class B subjects. So, in the case of killing a monster nest, it is the place where awareness of Class B monsters reaches its limit.

Monster hunting has been going on for some time. Only Class C monsters had already appeared, and were halfway to the nest.

“Come on! Let's go, everyone. Once we're through here, there won't be any more danger. ”

One of the characteristics of a monster nest is that the strongest monster in the nest is always located in the center of the nest.

Monsters exist due to the widespread distribution of the center, and the monsters in the center here are the final masters of the nest and were just as strong.

This situation has already been captured by a number of monster subjugations. So the punitive force took note of it and began hunting.

“Damn... I don't feel so good. ”

“I see...... You can't find it on a satellite like this, can you? ”

The nest of monsters that have now entered has been ravaged by giant trees.

The trees seemed to be more than 50 meters wide, forming a vast forest.

The government is constantly monitoring for monster nests, but satellites have often not been able to see the forest inside such dense areas. Monsters of Class B are large enough to be 20 to 30 meters, but if the size of the trees is 50 meters, they will definitely not be caught by satellites.

The attackers are now walking in an unchecked area.

“Set a perimeter around every quadrant. From now on, air intercepts are tough. ”

It was difficult to get support from bombers or helicopters in a blind situation. So, from here, the power of the abilities had to be exercised the most.

As you enter the huge forest, monsters begin to appear in earnest.

Monsters had a wide variety of water supplies, and appeared in any order from the first grade G through C.

Shhh!

Quack, quack!

Then, deep in the front, a random sound of leaves began to be heard, and the sound of trees crumbling.

“All hands on deck!! ”

The first person to hear it stops everyone.

Quack, quack!

And the sound began to come closer.

“All hands to battle stations!! A Class B monster!”

Although it was not confirmed with the right eyes, it could be seen that a large black ingot from afar was able to destroy or squeeze through smaller trees than himself. And shortly after, he appeared in front of everyone.

“Krararak!! ”

“Oh, shit! And an Acute Comodo! ”

A huge monster appeared and began screaming in front of a large number of talented people.

The Ancient Comodo.

The first sighting was only three years ago. Large monsters about 10 meters tall and 30 meters long have significantly faster movement speeds than large monsters.

A bigger problem than this is the tendency of monsters to attack. It was very difficult for the defense system to catch Aggro, and it often reacts to nearby abilities, causing a lot of damage.

And it was never easy to hit a sturdy leather for the alias "The Ancient Comodo."

Physical strikes that only kill Class D monsters are hard to even tear the hide of an Actuate Comodo.

Knowing that, the first line of defense gives an immediate order around you.

“The hunt goes straight from here. The movement speed of the Ancient Comodo is remarkably fast, so everyone can safely evade it with a wooden shield! From now on, the defenses will be distributed to all monsters, and the strikers will attack in all directions! ”

A man's shout grows louder, and everyone starts to struggle with the monsters.

Cuckoo boom!

Glug glug!

The forest begins to crumble. The forest is ablaze with the power of its abilities, and the trees fall at the strength of the monsters.

As the forest began to burn, there were numerous firefighter helicopters flying around.

As the emergence of the Ancient Comodo became known, the attackers who had fallen behind and engaged in hunting began joining the subjugation of Class B monsters at the same time.

Repatriation of ranks is going smoothly.

Ujin was also exercising his full potential as well as leveling up, and exerting his full power on monsters at the TY company's attack base.

“What...... are you? ”

“Heheh……. ”

Woojin smiles pleasantly at the question of doublet.

He was always praised for his abilities, but these days, the joy seems to be doubling.

“Did you acquire this ability when you asked me about your purchase contacts before? ”

“Yes. I used to hunt alone to test my abilities. ”

“Crazy... I heard there were a lot of Class D monsters...... Did you hunt them all by yourself? ”

At that time, he contacted the place of purchase separately and found out how many monsters Woojin had traded.

At that time, I didn't think that Woojin would have caught the monster by himself.

What am I supposed to think? ’

Although he is said to be a Flying Talent, he is currently not available in South Korea to deal with monsters of Class D alone.

No, not just because you don't hunt alone for safety reasons, but because you can't catch a few monsters by yourself.

It is best known by the doubles, no matter who it is. But today, when I saw Eugene, the idea completely collapsed.

‘This guy has no real answers. ’

He was also unable to devise a countermeasure to Eugene's ability to break common sense.

‘If I leave it like this... I'll just fly away...' ’

I was impressed, but on the other hand, I felt sorry for him. He realized that South Korea or TY companies were too small to handle him.

“Woojin, what are you going to do? ”

“Yes? What? ”

“What are you going to do now that you've improved your abilities? ”

“Hmm… I don't know? Of course, now that we have a contract with TY, we have to keep hunting monsters. ”

I laughed at the double.

“Hahaha…… Erai. You don't have a dream."

“Why? I've been having a lot of dreams. ”

“What? Are you trying to make money again? ”

“You know very well. ”

Artwork Reviews

If you look at the front of the novel, there seems to be a lot of opinions about 'wrong’ and 'different’.

I think I told you before... I've lived in the province for a long time and don't know the standard... words...

But after getting a lot of pointers late, I think I'm fixing them a little bit. It's wrong in the latter part, but it's a little hard to fix...

It's hard to keep putting these words in your head and writing them... and I often forget them every time I retire.

So I'm going to need a lot of pointers on this part so I can fix it.
