Regress and Eat

Hunters have gathered in front of the immediate dungeon coordinates, which will be called the five dungeons once the gate is opened.

The government-configured Class A brake response team, among them the primary defense lines, were among the four major guilds representing Korea.

“Then, we'll retreat to the third line of defense. · · Thank you! ”

After greeting him with a splendid glance, the military officials and members of the Constitution all withdrew a few kilometers back.

It's inefficient to mix a group of non-Awakened people on the front line fighting monsters like waves.

Moreover, this time, the gate was opened in the middle of the city, so there was no tactic to start by sweeping the area with modern firepower.

The government chose a near infantry war after weighing both the probable risk of breaching its primary defense line and the destruction of the over-the-counter infrastructure.

In a situation where all the anaesthetics had retreated, the four guilds had their heads side-by-side.

“Closing in! ”

As the soldiers retreat, the physical barrier is triggered along the defense line.

A circular opaque film was formed around the gate.

“One hour left. ”

The Revelation had foretold the opening and collapse times of the gates, precisely up to minutes.

The guild leader of Grand Croa, Kim Kyung-rock, suddenly looked at the man standing in front of the terminal.

I told a story I couldn't tell in front of the Constitution's people.

“Why is that hottie's son missing this time? ”

Immediately, the air around you cools.

Everyone had questions in their head, but all they could say was,

The target of Kim Kyung-rock's question was Seo Gyu-cheol, the guild leader of Cheon Dragon.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

However, Seo Kyu-chul didn't even look back at Kim Kyung-rock's words.

He told Yoon Ho-min, the leader of the expedition who was standing next to him with his emotions hidden.

“Let's get back to our camp. I will check the final results myself. ”

Kim Kyung-rook, who realized that he was completely ignored, frowned.

However, he quickly changes his face and says,

“After raising and investing so much, did it become a disgraceful commodity to send out? You must be disappointed. I'm going to hear a song.”

As he responded, Seo Kyu-chul's turning shoulder stopped.

Kim Kyung-rock shot the horse to see if it was an opportunity.

“What do you do when you get an SS-rank? I can't use it for important events like dungeon breaks. What's the reason this time? Are you crying in your room that there's still trauma left over from that rooftop accident? Or did you throw things at each other and fight and leave the house again? ”

It was Kim Kyung-rook, who knew quite well what was going on inside, but did not know the latest situation.

Back then.

Seo Kyu-chul's gaze reached Kim Kyung-rock.

Kim Gyeong-rok, who met those two eyes, felt a mistrust that I did not know.

‘· · What. That bastard! "

Kim Kyung-rock was a rival who had seen Seo Kyu-cheol for decades.

I already knew that it was not cheap and that was one of the reasons I hated him, but · · the man in front of me now was something strange.

Very unpleasant stranger.

"Eyes!"

However, the strange energy that was working in Seo Kyu-chul's eyes disappeared immediately after a short time.

What was that? ’

Kim Kyung-rock was embarrassed.

Seo Kyu-chul opened his mouth, looking at him without saying anything.

“Isn't the merchandise your story? If a few decades of my Guild Member's Class S Hunter Meal was chopped to pieces for the first year · ·. I can't come here because I'm ashamed. By the way, I don't see you here. Are you still in bed? ”

His words were aimed at Kim Kyeong-rok's brother, Class S Hunter Kim Ji-hoon, who cut off his leg while attempting to trick Seo Jin-wook during the promotion.

“Yippee! ”

Kim Kyeong-rok chewed and spit.

“That case is still being investigated by the Constitution! Who's playing tricks on you? ”

This was a deliberately loud speech, conscious of the other hunters.

Knowing the truth about the case, Kim Gyeong-rok quickly changed the topic because he knew that it would be disadvantageous to talk about it longer.

“Hmph! You must have been fooled by the time you sold your son to propagate the Celestial Dragon. Apparently, there's an A rank lined up that wants to quit these days! ”

Kyung-rock Kim questioned the human resources management of the endangered Heavenly Dragon.

“Aren't domestic titles all thanks to a thick A-rank hunter pool? How does it feel to be kicked off with the only strength left in your shovel? ”

“You don't have to worry if you count the A's that are left over from all those bats, because there are more than a set of empty carts like you. ”

When he finished speaking, Seo Kyu-chul swung his back and walked with Yoon Hyo-min to their camp.

Kim Kyung-rock, who was looking behind him, twisted his lips and laughed.

“· · · Let's see if that happens. ”

*

Yoon Hyo-min and Seo Kyu-chul who were walking quietly asked him.

“Has he contacted you personally? ”

It was clear who he was talking about.

Yoon Hyo-min, who met Seo Jin-wook secretly a while ago, was furious inside, but shaken his head without leaving the outside.

“No? We weren't actually that close, were we? If I had, I would have told Kim's assistant. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

While Yoon Homin was trying to calm his surprised heart, another chief who was watching without getting into a fight was analyzing the situation.

She was the guild leader and Seo Moon-gyu.

The sword was the only one of the four guilds to expand its trading territory to information services beyond the Korean black market and material goods.

The special benefits of a sword obtained from the previous breeding event.

‘However, information about Seo Jin-wook has not been updated at all for some time. ’

In fact, he stopped updating at all because he could not provide false information to his client, Hyundai, but could not sell any of the information that had been recognized to Senter.

However, it was impossible for a Seomunroe who didn't even know the existence of a centurion to derive such truth, and this situation led her to a misunderstanding.

‘Maybe the reason it can't be updated is because we don't know where it is. The fact that even Black Market has failed to track down Seo Jin-wook means it's already gone to Korea. ’

He is the fastest SS Hunter in the world and a genius who has passed every test with unprecedented success.

Judging by the fact that it was revealed, it was enough to get snow poisoning from abroad.

‘It's obvious that the Korean government has already been smuggled from another country. ’

Seo Kyu-chul's recent actions strengthened her expectations.

‘If that man's personality was normal, he should have included his son. Not doing so means you can't even control Seongjin. ’

She turns her head and asks the deputy guild leader of the gate keepers who attended instead of the guild leader.

“I'm curious. ”

“· · · Yes? ”

Myeonghyun, deputy guild leader of the Gate Keepers, was a man who looked like a beast.

When everything seemed to be done in the field meeting room, I boldly packed my things and prepared to disappear, but I saw the Seomungrin with a slightly annoying glance.

“I heard Seo Jin-wook was the gatekeeper of the Apocalypse Dungeon. Have you ever been asked to rent from him again? ”

While it is not possible to see all the Dungeon Entry records of others, once the attack is successful, the report will remain in the official government database and be freely accessible to Hunters.

She winks one eye and speaks in a low voice.

“It's strange to think about it. There has never been a dungeon cleared in the name of Seo Jin-wook since the day they received the SS rating. ”

Lee Dong-hyun shakes his head.

“You know, we have no intention of engaging you in any kind of power struggle. We can't divulge customer information that was purchased as an individual. ”

With that attitude, he would have also responded to Seo Kyu-chul's oppressive question of asking the same question.

Seo Moon-jin does not give up, but thinks again.

“If a child holds a stick in his hand, he shouldn't swing it, and if he rolls the ball on the floor, he makes a joke, right? That's human instinct · · · If you have that much power in your 20s, don't you think you want to show off? defeat the other dungeons one after the other. ”

He replied as if he didn't care.

“I don't know. I've never done that. ”

And then he got up, saying he had to start getting ready.

Seeing the vacant seat he was sitting in, Seo Mungeun thought.

‘Indeed, Lee Dong-hyun has a S rank, but hardly has a name on his expedition record. That's a long way from the Riley Dungeon. Anyway, these guys are weird. ’

For her, the Gate Keepers were a rotten, incomprehensible group of talented people.

‘There's something wrong with being a gatekeeper instead of attacking a dungeon with that kind of power, and an extremely closed internal structure. Even the guild leader, whose name and age are rarely known, is beyond common sense. Anyway, it's weird.’

Soon, Seo Moon-jin returned the subject of his thoughts to the top of his head.

‘Anyway, if you've already gone abroad, you don't have to worry about getting rid of the industrial land in this country. I can get it out of my head. ’

She had no idea and came to the wrong conclusion at all.

‘There is no defect. The Celestial Dragons will soon crumble. I will wipe out as much of my shares as I can from the hunters who have left, and I will completely forget about my items and attack rights and throw them away. ’

Seo Mungan smiled satisfactorily.

*

As the predetermined time approached, tension was rising between the hunters who formed the first line of defense, which seemed to pierce the skin.

Each guild leader encouraged the guild members in their own way.

“Here, here! There's no need to be nervous! The time and place to block the known brakes is a piece of cake. Do you see how many Hunters are gathering here on the first line of defense? There's over a thousand of them! Assuming that dungeon has a 10-man limit, it's killing a thousand monsters that used to beat up a 10-man party! How easy is that?”

There were also commanders who pointed out practical difficulties and prevented excessive tension, such as Kyung-rock Kim in Grand Croa.

“You know that the dungeon brakes also provide additional rewards based on their contributions, right? You'll probably remember, every time I've had a break somewhere in the last few years, the market for a worldwide dungeon item has plummeted. They're giving us such generous rewards in such a different dimension! This is a huge opportunity! ”

Like the foreman of the sword, there was also a guild leader who spoke of the reward that would be handed after the end of the brake and inspired everyone.

“· · · · · · Don't forget the summons. · · · · We are the sword that guards the door. · · · · · · With our commitment, the world is a little safer. Here today, yes. Any creature that does not originate in our world is excluded. ”

Like Donghyun of the Gate Keepers, there was also a commander who embarrassed his subordinates because his speech was as hard and unmotivated as a language book, even though it seemed like a declaration based on an unworthy theory and mission.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Just like Seo Kyu-chul of Heavenly Dragon, there were some who gave up their communication with his subordinates.

While waiting for the door to open in each way, the time has finally come.

Phage!

A blue glow appeared in the air that everyone was watching.

Hunters check system messages.

A slight embarrassment spread in the crowd.

“Damn it!”

The rank was consistent with the revelation. A rank.

However, it was a matter of the number of people who were not mentioned in the ordinary revelation.

Dungeon Information

1. Level: A

2. Maximum number of entrants: 150

3. Clear Condition: Monster Elimination in Dungeon

4. Time to evolution: 39 days 2 hours 31 minutes

5. Status: Very unstable

“It's a 150-person dungeon! ”

There was swearing everywhere.

The large number of people means that there are that many monsters to kill.

“Gates go straight into the Brake Sequence! ”

The system message they saw changed in an instant.

Dungeon Information

1. Rank: A

2. This dungeon is collapsing. Monsters become more violent and more powerful. Gate limits will disappear and monsters will be able to get out of the gate.

The wind on the primary defense line shifts direction and becomes sharper.

Whoo-hoo!

The gate that once glowed blue changes color and bites with blood.

He then swells up at a rapid rate and expands his body.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

As time goes on, the sun will become larger and larger, covering most of the sky we see on Earth in the distant future.

The gate that the Hunters are staring at now was a bit of a misunderstanding that they had borrowed a glimpse of the future.

Whoo-hoo!

The red gate, which seemed to grow indefinitely, finally stops expanding.

“· · · · · · · · started. ”

Someone's little murmur quickly buries in the tense young air.

Hunters who had experienced dungeon brake defenses, and hunters who had never experienced them, stared at the gate surface under extreme tension and borders for their own reasons.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

You swallow a dry saliva, craving a sharp Mana into your weapon, and wrap your entire body in a protective shield.

Because I knew in advance, I was perfectly prepared for battle.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

A minute has passed.

There are no signs of monsters protruding from the gate yet.

‘That's a pretty wide field. It's gonna take us a while to get to the gate. Well, it's a dungeon full of monsters. It's gonna be a tough fight. ’

Seo Moon-gyu thought so, and maintained the same tension as the strained string.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

It's been five minutes.

Hunters with short careers were a little overwhelmed by a different phenomenon than what they were taught.

Skilled veterans were appalled.

How wide is this field? Is it going to take more than five minutes for the monster closest to you to rush to the gate?

How many monsters will there be if the field is that wide?

He began to resent the government's choice not to ask for aid in a foreign country.

And I was worried that I would make it back alive today.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

About 10 minutes later, some began to think something was wrong.

Time passed again in that state.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Half an hour.

Four guilds staring at the red door right in front of the gate.

A small guild that observes the situation on a secondary defense line.

Soldiers of the 3rd line of defense.

Blueprints are showing live footage of the drones.

They are all locked in awkward silence.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

And then, someone whispered.

“What is wrong with the revelation? · · · ”

“No, look. That's when the dungeon opened and turned red! The red gate means the brakes are closing in! ”

“But the brakes usually change the gate color and the monster pops out in a minute. ”

“What a minute, 10 seconds and a hell of a wave starts. ”

“But what's wrong with that? ”

An experienced hunter came up with a hypothesis.

“If the field is that wide · · ·. ”

“No, no matter how wide it is. Some monsters can spin the globe in half an hour. ”

None of them expected it.

Inside that dungeon with the brakes, someone other than the monster entered.
