Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 52 Righteous Shield (1)

“I'll secure a retreat. ”

“You gonna be okay?"

Seong-jun asked. I wanted to wipe out the troops at the Node on my own, but I didn't think I'd have enough time to warn the Central Hunter State.

“You have nothing to worry about. As you may have seen while sneaking in, the main power of the Node is the former first-degree assassination and Lord Belloq. I can take care of the rest in my line. ”

Although the team of investigators who always gather information on the front lines were not as strong as they used to be, Anfels was confident in his voice.

“I want you to remember that I'm not undermanned. ”

According to Anfels, Seong-jun recalled that Anfels came from 226th place in the Knights Brigade. I was a little relieved to do so.

“Then I'll ask you to do something later. ”

Seong-jun said, putting 'Riodin Crystal’ in a dimensional pocket. Anfels nods and manipulates the sorcerer. Then the wall opened and a narrow passageway appeared.

“A secret passageway that only I know about. Externally connected. ”

- I'll be on patrol.

I gazed at Leishwald without a word. I wasn't sure if I could trust Anfels enough just yet, so I decided to send Rieswald on patrol. Recognizing Seong-jun's intentions, Lischevald went on a scout and returned in three minutes.

- It's connected to the outside. There were no traps or ambushes.

Seong-jun moved after hearing Lischevald's report. As he enters the secret passageway, Anfel manipulates the sorcerers to close the entrance.

“I'd like to know your name. ”

“I'd say I'll let you know if you survive, but I'll just tell you. My name is Kang Sung-jun. ”

“I look forward to seeing you again. ”

When the door was completely closed, the magic lamp installed in the passageway illuminated. Seong-jun walked along the secret passageway.

A quick walk led to an exit about five minutes ago. Coming out, New York's back alley reveals itself.

The faint sound of battle heard from the Investigation Unit's Node was dug into Seong-jun's ears, but it was hard for the public to hear.

- I think we should leave this to Anfels.

“Yeah, that 'd be great. ”

I agree with Lischevald. Seong-ju hurriedly got away from the Node. Then I took out my smartphone and called Jennifer.

- You're in New York?

“This is no time to be exchanging greetings. ”

- Did something happen?

Jennifer became serious as she felt a sense of urgency in her voice.

“There's going to be more than SS in New York. ”

- Is that clear?

“I'm sure.”

I'll get back to you.

In the event of a large-scale Raid situation, the National Guard moves. However, Jennifer had no relevant authority and needed to be escalated.

“It's about time... ”

Seong-jun looked up at the sky and muttered.

* * *

Jennifer, who finished speaking with Seong-jun, crossed over to the beta headquarters building that manages the Raid situation in the United States.

Each of the central hunter's headquarters was within walking distance.

Technically, she was supposed to report to Louis, the head of Delta HQ, but he was absent.

“Agent Jennifer? What's going on at beta headquarters? ”

An agent in charge of the security search party has spoken to you pretending to be close friends. He used to know Jennifer. Jennifer opens her mouth for a security search.

“I have something urgent to report. ”

“No problem. You can come in. ”

Jennifer makes a quick step toward the headquarters, afraid to get past the security checkpoint.

I've already contacted the Beta HQ authorities. Thanks to this, I was able to meet Ekid, the beta head of the company, without any special procedure.

Had it been the Duke of Delta Headquarters and a two-team ordinary Special Agent, she would not have been able to meet the head of the other headquarters so easily, but now she is being treated with exaggeration as a special agent of Kang Sung-jun.

“Agent Jennifer? What's the matter?”

The person who asked the scary questions to enter the head office was Ekid, a class A sub-hunter and the head of Beta headquarters. He didn't have much time.

“We have information that New York will be experiencing a large-scale radar situation of at least SS. ”

“That information…… Where did you hear it? ”

The annoying look on Ekid's face disappears. He asked with a surprised expression.

“Do you know something? ”

Jennifer swallows a dry needle. Seeing Ekid's reaction, we could see that Seong-jun's claim was not absurd.

“There have been reports of dimensional cracks in the observation stations. As you know, dimensional cracks can also be a sign of the Raid situation. ”

Jennifer nods. She was also a hunter, so she had some common sense about dimensional cracks.

“If you saw a dimensional crack, why didn't you sound the radar alarm? ”

“I found the rift to be too weak to advance to the Raid situation. ”

I had to be careful when I set the alarm for Raid. Once deployed, an army will be stationed in the area and all civilians will begin to flee, causing enormous economic damage.

Professional organizations, such as the Beta HQ Observatory or the ROK's Dungeon Management Raid Situation Room, often monitored dimensional cracks for superior talent, but if uncertain, alerted immediately before Raid occurred.

“Agent Jennifer. Where does the information come from? ”

“I am Kang Sung-jun, SS grade hunter in South Korea. ”

“I don't know how Kang Sung-jun found out, but I can't just sit here like this. ”

Ekid picks up the phone. I didn't think that Seong-jun, an SS class hunter, would give me any unfounded information without thinking.

Unfortunately, there were actually dimensional cracks and it looked like we needed to take action.

“From now on, I will declare the Raid situation and issue an alert. Agent Jennifer, would you ask Kang Sung-joon for help? ”

“Are you in need of assistance? ”

“Yes. Unfortunately, there aren't any SS hunters near New York right now. ”

It was no coincidence that there was not an SS class hunter near New York scheduled to land an allied expedition.

The Central Hunter didn't notice, but the Empire did.

“Agent Jennifer. I delegate my authority to you. I need help from Kang Sung-jun. ”

“I'll do my best. ”

Jennifer replies. Ekid nods, satisfied. Then I took the phone to my ear and opened my mouth.

“I declare the situation with Raid. ”

* * *

Raid situation has been declared and an alarm has been issued. The National Guard has entered the city and the Hunters are assembled. Like a developed country, the time it took Hunters to assemble was fast.

During the commotion, Seong-jun received a call from Jennifer.

Kang Sung-joon, there's a Raid situation in New York.

“I've checked now. ”

Seong-jun replied: The fighters are tearing through the sky and the armed forces are starting to control the roads. Anyone could see that Raid was about to begin.

- Kang Sung-joon, let me explain the situation.

Jennifer informed Seong-jun that there is no SS class hunter in New York and surrounding areas. Seong-jun, who heard her explanation, frowned.

Is that what you're after? ’

I wasn't sure, but if the League led to this situation, it was creepy. Jennifer finished her explanation while Seong-jun was swallowing dry saliva.

- The closest SS hunter is two hours away. America needs the help of Kang Sung-joon.

Within two hours, the batteries expanded and remained. As Seong-jun said, a SS class Raid situation makes it difficult to hunt a boss on a summoned Class S Hunter alone. Even if it were to be dealt with, Class S Hunters would be devastated.

I definitely needed Seong-jun's help.

“What can the United States do for me if I help? ”

Seong-jun asked. Stopping the Empire and its alliance was like fate, but it was the right thing to do if you could take advantage.

- Nothing is fixed right now, but I can accommodate Kang Sung-joon's needs as much as I can.

“That's enough. ”

That was enough. A smile spread over Seong-jun's mouth. America will keep its promises.

“I'll cooperate.”

- When the Dimensional Gateway opens, we need you to stop where the mainland is landing. Raid troops from the Beta headquarters and the National Guard will support Kang Sung-jun.

“That's reassuring.”

- We'll send the coordinates to where the helicopter is waiting.

Call ended message received. Seong-jun moved to the coordinates in the message.

In the middle of an unnamed park, there was a Chinook helicopter and a raid crew waiting. An assault helicopter squadron was waiting for you above ground.

“Greetings, Kang Sung-jun. I'm Eden, Team Leader of the Raid Maneuvers, on a support mission. ”

A blonde hunter approaches and greets you. It was easy to see that the interpreter magic was being used.

-Class Hunter. It must be magic in your outfit.

Lischevald said.

“I'm Kang Sung-jun. Please take good care of me. ”

A horrific horsepower reaction spread out, opening the dimensional gateway in the sky and slowly revealing a huge process. The dimensional gate opens on the ground and spills of water spills out.

The National Guard launched an attack with all their firepower to slow them down.

“Sung-jun Kang! We think you should move now! ”

Eden exclaims urgently. After seeing Seong-jun boarding the Chinook helicopter with the maneuvers, he opened his mouth by pulling up his magic.

“Fly!”

The starter language reminds me of his body. The helicopter then took off. Eden opens his mouth as the rowdy sound of the propeller's spin dims the surroundings.

“Our troops will cover the area! ”

At the same time, he instructs the helicopter pilot to call the dispatch. The Chinook helicopter on Seongjun went to the opening of the biggest dimensional gate with the support of the attack helicopter fleet.

“The enemy has already built the anti-aircraft barrier! ”

“Elevate! ”

I could hear the captain's conversation with the deputy director. The atmosphere was urgent. The low air flight was hard because of the anti-aircraft deterrent that completed the Orc horde. The captain raises the altitude after a brief thought.

Two attack helicopters support the elevation of Chinook and have been hit by an attack spell and crashed.

Orcs swarm around the attack helicopter that crashed on the ground with dark red smoke. The captain shakes his head, as if calling for urgent assistance.

“We keep moving forward. Our goal is to lead Mr. Kang Sung-joon to the" source. "”

The pilot said no one could argue.
