‘The raid ought to’ve began through now.’
The affiliation President Goh Gun-Hui checked out his wristwatch and smiled softly to himself. The raid in question changed into, of course, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s.
If it was at all feasible, he desired to look for himself, however…. due to the character of his activity, it become absolutely not possible, so all he ought to do became to send in an association worker he relied on significantly as a proxy, as an alternative.
He turned into getting all labored up already, considering what phase chief Woo Jin-Cheol’s record would entail.
‘Ah, right. I shouldn’t be doing this proper now.’
Goh Gun-Hui shook his head gently to do away with the distracting mind. There had been mountains of files sitting on top of his table proper now. They were nearly forming the towers of files at this point.
Ever because the dungeon destroy within the high faculty happened, this pile of documents didn’t want to decrease irrespective of how tough he worked every single day. No, they regarded to get even taller, as a substitute. That changed into how insanely busy he changed into, but his interest in Hunter Seong Jin-Woo didn’t wane one bit.
If simplest his body become healthful – wouldn’t he have cleared some dungeons together with Hunter Seong, too?
‘Huh, I’m also being hopeless, aren’t I?’
Goh Gun-Hui shook his head one more time and back to his paintings with a grin on his face.
And so, just how long did he deal with the files?
Knock, knock.
He raised his head after listening to the knock at the door, and realised that 3 hours had flown via.
“It’s Woo Jin-Cheol, sir.”
The news he was looking forward to had ultimately arrived. with out a unmarried trace of fatigue visible on his countenance, Goh Gun-Hui welcomed Woo Jin-Cheol into the office.
“Please, come in.”
Creak.
Goh Gun-Hui’s eyes nearly popped out in their sockets after he saw Woo Jin-Cheol’s face as the latter carefully entered the workplace.
‘What’s this?’
He expected there to be no troubles, but Wool Jin-Cheol appeared as if he were given dragged via a wringer, alternatively.
‘It’s now not simply all of us but Hunter Seong Jin-Woo we are speakme approximately right here, so how come chief Woo looks like that….??’
His confusion best lasted for a quick even as, though.
“may also I sit down down for a touch even as, sir?”
Woo Jin-Cheol sounded determined, so Goh Gun-Hui fast pointed to the sofa.
“Of course, it’s first-rate. Do take a seat.”
He then got up from the President’s chair behind the desk to settle down within the contrary facet to Woo Jin-Cheol.
Plop.
Woo Jin-Cheol powerlessly sunk deep into the sofa. He rubbed his face along with his hands, showing how worn-out he become.
simply what passed off inside the dungeon?
Even earlier than Woo Jin-Cheol may want to start explaining himself, Goh Gun-Hui couldn’t win against his curiosity and began first.
“What came about to you? Why does your face appear like….?”
“Pardon? Is there something on my face, sir?”
“You look surprisingly worn-out right now. As if you couldn’t sleep a wink for the beyond few days.”
“Ah…..”
Nod, nod.
Woo Jin-Cheol wordlessly nodded his head a few instances as if he may want to apprehend the entirety now.
“It’s possibly due to the fact I’m just too bowled over, that’s all. Sir.”
“greatly surprised….? Please, inform me greater in detail. My buddy, didn’t you accompany Hunter Seong Jin-Woo to study his raid?”
Woo Jin-Cheol lowered his gaze and slowly shook his head.
“That, sir, that wasn’t a raid. It become…..”
“….It become?”
Woo Jin-Cheol raised his head, surprise and worry nevertheless writ large in his trembling eyes.
“Sir, it turned into the scene of a bloodbath.”
The charismatic leader of the monitoring department, Woo Jin-Cheol, often thought to be possessing an inborn coronary heart of metal, turned into talking with a voice that trembled ever so softly.
“A bloodbath, is it…..?”
Goh Gun-Hui swallowed his saliva.
Woo Jin-Cheol responded without hesitation, obviously not even thinking of converting or denying his description.
“yes, sir.”
was there every other description that in shape what happened in there? It became as the word recommended, a complete bloodbath. Woo Jin-Cheol didn’t keep again on whatever and confessed to the entirety he saw on the behest of the affiliation President.
“The dungeon changed into a nest of Nagas, sir.”
Goh Gun-Hui narrowed his eyes as he combed through his information of diverse monsters.
‘If it’s a Naga….’
Creatures that resembled a hybrid of a human and a sea snake, desired to stay in damp regions, and experts of both melee and magic attacks, capable of giving many skilled Hunters a hard time – those points were the Nagas in a nutshell.
They were also known as actually difficult opponents to contend with as they moved round in large organizations, despite the fact that they were high-ranked monsters.
but….
‘however, someone of Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s degree shouldn’t be having a hard time in opposition to a handful of Nagas going round in businesses?’
as though he had read Goh Gun-Hui’s inner thoughts, Woo Jin-Cheol clarified himself.
“….I even felt sorry for the Nagas at some point, sir.”
“…..!!”
Woo Jin-Cheol recalled the scenes lower back then. whilst a group of 30-sturdy Nagas unexpectedly made their appearance, he even momentarily forgot who become subsequent to him and tensed up greatly. Nagas had been risky enough existences to warrant this type of reaction from him.
however then….
“….the surrounding areas unexpectedly became ‘dark’, sir.”
Or, greater mainly, he should have stated that a huge black shadow unexpectedly extended out from underneath Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s ft.
all of the hair on Woo Jin-Cheol’s body stood up after he realised that some thing big became about to happen. And exactly at that moment, infantrymen emerged above floor separately from the extended shadow.
And the war – no, a bloodbath, commenced.
– Kiiiaahk!
– Kiihhaaak!
– Kiiaaahhh-!!
Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s summoned creatures pounced forward and proceeded to mercilessly rip the Nagas apart into many bloody portions.
“at least, those summons carrying black armours, like the humanoid kinds and the excessive Orcs kinds, had been a piece extra humane. but then…..”
The summons equivalent to bears and ants had been a ways too feral even for his tolerance stage.
“some of the ants even commenced consuming the corpse of the monsters. Hunter Seong Jin-Woo have become so incensed that he even physically kicked them.”
Woo Jin-Cheol began shuddering after remembering this one ant that attempted to sneak a lifeless Naga’s head into its mouth, handiest to get discovered by way of irate Hunter Seong. It were given wonderfully buried deep into a wall from a powerful kick.
despite the fact that, he nonetheless couldn’t inform whether or not he was shuddering from the frightening summons, or from Jin-Woo who should unhesitatingly kick a summon like that right into a wall.
Seeing the hectic appearance on Woo Jin-Cheol’s eyes, even Goh Gun-Hui have become extra stressful as nicely, dry saliva gliding down his throat.
“had been his summons sturdy?”
“They were actually strong, sir.”
there was no need to even mention it. squaddies reminiscent of people, Orc-type infantrymen, bears and ant kind squaddies; not one in all them can be called weak by way of any stretch of the imagination. however, the largest highlight of all of them become….
“there was this one summon with a pink mane attached to its black helmet.”
Woo Jin-Cheol raised his dipped head once more and stared directly into Goh Gun-Hui’s eyes.
“would you agree with me once I instructed you that unique summon could shoot lightning out of its sword on every occasion it took a swing, sir?”
“Oh my god…..”
Goh Gun-Hui changed into feeling absolutely astonished now. The lightning magic contained the unfavourable strength of fire-primarily based magic in addition to the rapid nature of the light-based totally magic.
because of that, most effective a handful of very high-magnificence Mage-type Hunters could solid such magic spells. Even then, firing them consecutively was out of the question.
however then, a summon could shoot such magic all of the time by means of swinging its sword around?
Goh Gun-Hui may want to simplest shake his head in helplessness. He actually wouldn’t have believed it if it weren’t coming from the subordinate he deeply believed in. however then, the incredible story persisted on even similarly.
“for my part, that unique summon need to be above rank A in phrases of strength, sir.”
“Are you extreme??”
Goh Gun-Hui’s voice rose up better.
How could a unmarried summon possess powers nearly at the level of a rank S?!
unluckily, Woo Jin-Cheol guaranteed it. And he became right at the peak of rank A Hunters too, ability-sensible, so he knew what he changed into speakme about.
“If I were to combat that summon one on one…. surely, I’m no longer assured of winning, sir.”
certainly, if such an assessment came out from Woo Jin-Cheol’s mouth, a person with sturdy self-self belief, then it might be no hassle to assess that summon as a rank S.
“Huh-uh…”
Goh Gun-Hui leaned towards the sofa’s again.
He already had a very good idea how succesful Hunter Seong Jin-Woo was, however to assume, each and every considered one of his summons might possess this sort of high stage of electricity, too.
What a regretful thing it changed into, no longer being there to individually affirm it with his very own two eyes.
Goh Gun-Hui become getting bowled over simply from listening to it second-hand, so how would Woo Jin-Cheol have felt as he become in reality there? unexpectedly, it have become as an alternative easier to recognize the worn-down look of Woo Jin-Cheol. He must’ve been slapped inside the face constantly with one marvel after any other.
“however, sir, there was a good more surprising spectacle, sir.”
Woo Jin-Cheol carried on as though that was now not even the give up of the story.
“The ants…. they commenced ‘working’, sir.”
Woo Jin-Cheol’s eyes trembled again as he recalled the ones scenes.
Ants acquired pickaxes from the bag carried with the aid of Ah-Jin Guild’s Vice-master. and then, they proceeded to mine out the Mana Stones from the dungeon partitions.
Ants had been additionally in rate of carrying away the mined Mana Stones in addition to the stays of the lifeless monsters. Woo Jin-Cheol in reality couldn’t tear his eyes away from the flawlessly-organised ants and their unbelievably fast running velocity. They were essentially the incarnations of green ‘operation’.
Woo Jin-Cheol became deeply astonished returned then, and he become feeling admiration now.
“What I noticed, sir, it wasn’t something as easy as a one-man raid group. in no way.”
No, this one guy was capable of clearing a dungeon, retrieving the remains, and additionally mining out the minerals, too.
Woo Jin-Cheol was honestly positive of it. And that could be – calling Hunter Seong a one-man raid crew changed into absolutely insulting the man.
“No, sir. That man, he’s absolutely a whole Guild rolled into one.”
He changed into now not a one-guy raid team, but a one-guy Guild, rather. Technically talking, there has been that not-that-useful Vice grasp too, however not anything could’ve changed even though he wasn’t gift, so Woo Jin-Cheol’s assertion wasn’t incorrect at all.
Goh Gun-Hui slapped his knee.
‘I knew it. My eyes weren’t wrong!’
A large smile didn’t want to depart his face now.
Like how he have been waiting for it given that the beginning, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo would truly move directly to grow to be the brand-new ballast that continues the stability neutral within the Korean Hunter network. however now, he began to think that the young people might even cross on to change the map of the Hunters worldwide, too.
“and then…. we finally arrived on the boss chamber, sir.”
The tale hadn’t ended yet??
Goh Gun-Hui speedy refocused at the tale over again. Woo Jin-Cheol carried on.
everyday Nagas would be around two, 3 instances larger than everyday people. but, he said that the boss Naga determined inside the boss room turned into without difficulty 4-times large, and the stress it emitted became wonderful as nicely.
“Did Seong Hunter use his summons to fast end off the boss-stage monsters?”
Woo Jin-Cheol slowly shook his head.
“No, sir. He definitely cancelled the summoning altogether, besides for the ones ants busy with retrieval and mining operations.”
“What? but, why might he??”
Goh Gun-Hui gasped out in surprise, and Woo Jin-Cheol may want to most effective respond with a stiff face.
“i was also curious as to why, so I asked him. I puzzled him why he might cancel the summoning whilst he became approximately to combat the boss.”
Goh Gun-Hui became so invested in the story that, unbeknownst to him, he had started leaning forward.
“And what did he say?”
“Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim told me this….”
Woo Jin-Cheol took his time a little as if to pull out his unwilling reminiscences to the surface, and cautiously opened his mouth.
“If he relied an excessive amount of on his summons, then his…..”
***
“….My instincts might grow to be softer, you spot.”
Jin-Woo spoke up and took a breakthrough as the pair of ‘Demon King’s Shortsword’ changed into grasped in his palms.
He didn’t even want to name out his squaddies. there has been handiest one boss-degree monster and four others guarding stated boss creature, in the end.
Jin-Woo kicked the floor and dashed ahead.
‘Quicksilver!’
Even earlier than any of the mother or father monsters could react, he slipped beyond them and closed the gap with the large Naga at the again.
‘Violent decrease!!’
Dozens upon dozens of silvery light flickered and descended on the decrease body of the boss monster.
Slice-slice-slice-slice!!
“Keuhaaaakk!!”
The boss writhed and screamed, and within the interim, the guardians tried to pounce on Jin-Woo. however he genuinely used the head of one of the guards to jump straight upwards.
Taht!
And while his eyes drew stage with the boss’s manner up above in the air, he swung his shortsword sideways.
sleek-!!
“Kiiiahk!!”
The boss’s head turned into sliced off easy and it flew away. at the same time, a brand new gadget message popped into his view.
Tti-ring.
[You have killed the owner of this dungeon.]
[Level up!]
Jin-Woo’s expression brightened without delay from that high-quality message.
‘Ohh!!’
He landed softly again at the ground and spun around once. That precipitated all of the defend monsters seeking to rush at him to fall apart to the floor on the equal time.
surprisingly sufficient, the gadget messages didn’t stop there.
Tti-ring, tti-ring, tti-ring….!!
suddenly, he become inundated with a regular barrage of mechanical beeps.
‘What’s this?!’
His fluster ought to best final for a short whilst, although.
[You have reached level 101.]
[Levels of all your Class-specific skills have risen.]
[Skill: ‘Shadow Extraction’ has levelled up.]
[Skill: ‘Shadow Storage’ has levelled up.]
[Skill: ‘Sovereign’s Territory’ has levelled up.]
[Skill: ‘Shadow Exchange’ has levelled up.]
Jin-Woo’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets at the rising wall of messages.
