chapter 161: bankruptcy 161
Telling the master of a Guild that pleasant represented the Republic of Korea to show up earlier than a rank C Gate?
when he got the call from section chief Woo Jin-Cheol, Choi Jong-In initially wasn’t feeling too pleased via its contents. He even notion approximately not bothering to head there individually and honestly send out an assault group together with only a handful of higher ranked Hunters.
but, he heard the targeted explanation next, and he had no choice however to in my opinion make the circulate.
‘Hunter Seong Jin-Woo had entered the twin dungeon by means of himself?’
The dual dungeon alone changed into sufficient to attract his attention, but now, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo turned into in there, too? how many Guild Masters, no, Hunters obtainable might continue to be aloof and unimpressed after listening to the ones revelations?
At leader Woo Jin-Cheol’s pressing request that emphasised time changed into of the essence, Choi Jong-In without delay behind schedule the raid they have been preparing to head on and summoned the elite Hunters.
“We obtained a request for assistance from the affiliation. looks like we can ought to get worried on this one.”
Hunters started out whispering to every other because those people knew very well via revel in, that this sort of summons best passed off in splendid occasions.
And the truth that the Hunters Guild needed to be summoned, who had been just about to raid a rank A Gate – was there a want to even point out the seriousness of the occasion?
On pinnacle of this, these Hunters also had to pay attention about the breaking information coming out from Japan not too long in the past, so the commotion within them could best grow large.
“Did something appear?”
The woman who possessed the second maximum authority in the back of Choi Jong-In as the Vice-Chair of the Guild, requested her boss for clarification. He seemed returned at Cha Hae-In and responded.
“A twin dungeon changed into observed within a rank C Gate.”
‘A twin dungeon?’
Cha Hae-In tilted her head in confusion.
Of direction, it was now not normal one gets to listen approximately a dual dungeon. A dungeon observed inside every other one – there was no manner this type of factor could take place all the time.
however, the Hunters Guild become being summoned because there has been some other dungeon attached to a measly rank C Gate? It turned into tough to recognize from a commonplace-experience point of view.
Choi Jong-In still got geared up to transport out regardless of her at a loss for words stare but nevertheless spoke to her to dispel her confusion.
“It appears like Hunter Seong Jin-Woo is fighting some thing internal all by himself. because it’s none apart from that leader Woo Jin-Cheol from the association requesting us for help, and he sounded as an alternative apprehensive out of his wits too, so… Hunter Cha? What’s the matter?”
Choi Jong-In asked her after spotting the abrupt exchange inside her eyes.
“No, it’s nothing.”
“…..properly, yeah. It’s Hunter Seong we’re speaking approximately, so nothing severe would happen to him, but nonetheless, allow’s move take a look besides.”
Nod.
Cha Hae-In nodded her head, and other Hunters listening in on their communique also speedy packed their equipment and got prepared. Their tools consisted completely of weapons they were to apply in the raid, however that didn’t imply they might be lackadaisical with their arrangements.
“Uh? Why is there one individual mis…”
A Hunter was taking the headcount, but a person lightly tapped on his shoulder. He seemed behind to see who it turned into, and his colleague become pointing at a sure nook along with his chin. a man with a devastated face was on his knees there.
“…Suzuki?”
“depart him be.”
“Ah…..”
That Hunter right away understood it.
Suzuki was a Hunter who got scouted these days and left Japan for a lifestyles here in South Korea. It became best apparent that he couldn’t tear his eyes away from his cellphone that saved issuing breaking news one after the other concerning the dungeon smash taking area in his domestic united states.
“We gotta do what we gotta do. allow’s get going.”
“Ah, yes.”
Hunters let Suzuki be and climbed aboard the Hunters Guild’s private van.
And so, vehicles wearing the elites of the Hunters Guild speedy travelled in the direction of their new locations.

“Argh, hot, hot!!”
A reporter named Kim freaked out and hurriedly discarded the cigarette butt. The floor beneath turned into sand, but nonetheless, his foot stomping on the butt to kill it carried all of his bared emotions.
That lasted only for a little while, even though. This become no time to waste his attention on some silly cigarette butt.
Reporter Kim’s gaze lower back to the parked trucks once more. He notion that every single character climbing out of those motors regarded familiar, however while he took a 2nd look, weren’t they the pinnacle elites from the Hunters Guild??
He didn’t even word that his arms have been getting burnt off at the same time as he changed into looking for all the famous aces in that Guild.
‘Choi Jong-In and Cha Hae-In? Yun Jeong-Ho too? Uh, uh?? Even Sohn Ki-Hoon’s here?’
With those folks here, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the top faces of the Hunters had all shown up. He chased after Woo Jin-Cheol with out a plan to speak of, however to think, he’d stumble right into a region filled with such bigshots like this?
And, the Gate in query became best a rank C.
Reporter Kim swallowed his frightened saliva. He couldn’t even begin to consider simply what was happening inner there proper now.
phase chief Woo Jin-Cheol might generally let the cat out of the bag quite easily, however even he close his mouth tightly even as pronouncing that it was top secret. So, Kim didn’t have tons of a choice however to suck on one cigarette after another to assuage his aggravating mind.
certainly, butts he discarded due to the fact some time in the past shaped a small mound near his ft.
Woo Jin-Cheol paid no heed to Reporter Kim’s longing expression and hurriedly approached Choi Jong-In. The latter couldn’t tear his eyes away from that Gate, just like how the former had reacted in advance.
“What the f*ck…?! D*mn it…! What the hell is that issue??”
Cusses jumped out all on their very own from Choi Jong-In’s mouth. That turned into how ominous the air of secrecy emitted from the Gate became.
not like Woo Jin-Cheol, who possessed surprisingly properly senses for a melee-type Hunter, Choi Jong-In was South Korea’s most effective Mage.
After Baek Yun-Ho and his ‘Eyes of the Beast’, as well as Seong Jin-Woo and his otherworldly degree of sensory notion, one could hopefully say that Choi Jong-In was the fine within the united states of america while it got here to sensing the go with the flow of magical power.
“can you do it?”
That’s how Woo Jin-Cheol framed his question. Choi Jong-In didn’t leave out the subtext of ‘It was not possible with simply us’ in that query.
He answered with a sour expression.
“You stated that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo is internal, sure?”
“sure, that’s been showed.”
Nod, nod.
Choi Jong-In nodded his head gravely.
but, of path. If it wasn’t him, who’d be capable sufficient to participate in a combat of this scale? No, who else besides him turned into able to protecting towards an opponent that emitted this lots magical power?
“Is he seeking to save this planet all by way of himself or some thing?”
He meant to say that during his head but his words still came out of his mouth in the long run.
instead of requesting the explanation, although, Woo Jin-Cheol sincerely nodded his head with a heavy expression. To him, that sounded pretty conceivable.
“whether or not we are able to do it or no longer, we nonetheless need to go inner besides. We owe a debt to Hunter Seong, in any case.”
If the monsters inner have been something that couldn’t be stopped via the mixed may of Hunter Seong and the Hunters Guild, then no one else in South Korea could stop them. meaning, there could be no second possibility in the event that they couldn’t kill the monsters by means of helping Hunter Seong today.
‘What become that? Hunter Seong??’
Reporter Kim turned into status a bit similarly away and was doing his exceptional to eavesdrop, however after listening to some thing outstanding, his eyes unexpectedly converted into a pair of spherical dots corresponding to the ones of a rabbit’s.
‘Hunter Seong is inner that Gate??’
Kim’s shocked gaze quick shifted closer to the Gate, before scanning the region around it.
There have been two rank S Hunters right here, and as for the wide variety of rank As, he had already lost count number. however then, Seong Jin-Woo Hunter turned into interior that Gate, too??
‘My, my…. my memo. where’s my d*mn memo pad?!’
Reporter Kim’s nose picked up at the trail of a big scoop and hurriedly sought out his memo pad.
From this factor onwards, he couldn’t have enough money to overlook a single phrase muttered nor a single occasion taking place before him. He observed himself with a god-despatched possibility to document on a big scoop regarding 3 rank S Hunters as well as the affiliation itself while all of us else turned into too busy with the occasions taking place in Japan.
‘That’s why chief Woo saved his mouth close, wasn’t it?’
Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s personal statistics became a closely-guarded secret, not to mention he was a terrific VIP beneath the special supervision of the Hunter’s affiliation.
Kim now should understand the purpose why Woo Jin-Cheol changed into now not willing to talk approximately what become going on right here.
at the same time as Woo Jin-Cheol and Choi Jong-In were sharing a short communication, the elite assault team had completed getting geared up. The Tankers picked up their protective armaments, harm sellers picked up their weapons, and Healers hung on to magic tools full of magical energy.
As befitting the top Guild inside the country, their training was quite rapid.
Choi Jong-In briefly exchanged glances with Cha Hae-In and nodded his head. Cha Hae-In swept her gaze over the relaxation of the crew once and nodded her head as properly. That meant that the guidance and inspection were finished now.
The elites of the monitoring division had already finished their preparations some time in the past. Woo Jin-Cheol obtained affirmation from his subordinate and grew to become round to face the others with a heavy expression.
“allow’s get going.”
***
The passage earlier than them become notably lengthy.
They moved at the fastest speed they may have the funds for, but they didn’t break right into a full-bore going for walks. although they have been all nominally excessive-ranked Hunters, their character jogging speeds had been vastly different, that was why. amongst them, Cha Hae-In became in particular fast.
She turned into approximately to run in advance, but Choi Jong-In subsequent to her grasped her wrist in a hurry.
“Hunter Cha. What do you watched you’ll reap through going there by myself?”
“…”
He understood that she wanted to go and keep Seong Jin-Woo from hazard, however if she went in advance, the whole group would possibly become falling into grave risk, rather.
“If we attempt to keep up together with your speed, there’s a terrific threat that the complete team might come to be disorganised, as a substitute.”
Cha Hae-In’s expression hardened as she stood nevertheless, but eventually, she returned to the rear of the team. Woo Jin-Cheol watched her make her manner lower back and whispered softly to himself.
“I wager the rumour changed into genuine.”
“Pardon?”
Woo Jin-Cheol mumbled a few excuses out whilst Choi Jong-In wondered him.
“Ah… No, it’s nothing vital.”
Choi Jong-In tilted his head slightly but shifted his gaze back to his the front besides. The ominous magic strength that brought about goosebumps to break out on his skin changed into still flooding out from the inner most a part of this dungeon.
He needed to preserve his wits approximately him right here.
He also thought that it’d be the equal story for Hunter Seong Jin-Woo who had entered in here in advance of anyone else.
‘I pray we aren’t too overdue….’
for the time being, there has been not anything he should do to help aside from pray for Hunter Seong’s protection – at the same time as moving as quickly as they could with out lowering their vigilance, of direction.
but, it turned into also real that an excessive amount of anxiety would in flip stupid one’s body, as nicely. so that it will dispel some of this anxiety, he engaged Woo Jin-Cheol in a communique.
“How did Hunter Seong stumble upon this region, besides?”
“I also don’t understand the details. however, by way of piecing collectively what the human beings making the reports stated, evidently Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim knew that this Gate become a twin dungeon even earlier than entering it.”
“H-mm.”
Choi Jong-In’s expression became circumspect. This time, it became Woo Jin-Cheol who requested the question.
“via any threat, can you observed of something suspicious?”
“No, it’s no longer that, but….. simply that, this feels quite strange, doesn’t it?”
“bizarre as in how?”
“I did a few research on Seong Hunter-nim inside the beyond, you spot.”
Choi Jong-In was a grasp of a huge Guild. It became his duty to construct a Guild with especially capable people, so it turned into handiest obvious that he’d maintain an intense amount of hobby towards Jin-Woo.
“there was an occasion similar to this, wasn’t there?”
Woo Jin-Cheol did individually look at the occasion Choi Jong-In changed into speaking about so, he indeed knew loads about that incident. He quickly figured out what the grasp of Hunters Guild was trying to say right here.
less than half of a 12 months in the past, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo experienced going into a twin dungeon. And now, in the end this time, he in demand every other one and entered it.
people who knew this truth could now not see today’s event as a trifling accident. similar to how Woo Jin-Cheol had expected, Choi Jong-In’s subsequent words had been about that.
“Experiencing dual dungeons twice by means of himself, when it’d be near not possible for everybody to peer it as soon as of their lifetime… no longer just that, he willingly walked into the second one on his very own volition? Don’t you locate that atypical?”
Woo Jin-Cheol didn’t immediately make his reply.
just as Choi Jong-In had alluded to, many stuff about Hunter Seong were shrouded in a veil of mystery. The twin dungeon. The Re-woke up. And owning a completely unique capacity.
however, there has been one indisputable fact, and that might be Seong Jin-Woo being utterly fundamental to the affiliation, no, the entire country of South Korea.
And that became why Woo Jin-Cheol asked the Hunters Guild for his or her help without expecting the clearance from the better-americawhen he discovered out that Hunter Seong had walked right into this Gate.
irrespective of what, they had to at ease Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s safety. It’d now not be too late to ask him the vital questions afterwards.
Woo Jin-Cheol swam interior his thoughts, earlier than elevating his head.
‘So, over there…..’
the distance that would have taken almost one hour for everyday Hunters to cross become bridged in less than ten minutes with the aid of the speedy marching of these high-ranked Hunters. they might subsequently see the cease of this cave in the a long way off distance.
“seems like we’re right here.”
“sure, i can experience it.”
indeed, they may experience something horrifyingly big in there. Choi Jong-In’s face stiffened difficult as he responded. The coloration of blood become slowing draining out of his complexion proper now.
The only consolation he could think about right now became the fact that he may also experience Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s presence.
‘so long as Hunter Seong is exceptional, it’s k.’
Combining his talents with the help from these elite Hunters, they’d win irrespective of what the monsters within this dungeon were like. Choi Jong-In assured himself with that line of notion and called out to the rest of the group.
“permit’s hurry!”
The elite Hunters from the Hunters Guild and the affiliation rushed beyond the massive doorway paying homage to an ancient fortress.
and then….
The sight expecting them beyond was a spectacle none of them had ever visible before in the course of their prolonged and illustrious careers as Hunters.
“This… What on the planet is this….?”
“What the hell is this vicinity?!”
First, they determined innumerable destroyed stone statues strewn approximately the floor. Their debris turned into piling up into small hills all around the place.
“look, appearance!!!”
one of the Hunters raised his finger high up.
And inside the path his finger changed into pointing at, each person may want to see a truly massive statue of an unknown god standing frozen nonetheless, its fingers interlocked inside the gesture of slamming down. Its head, with 1/2 of its face blown away, specially stuck their interest.
Woo Jin-Cheol’s coronary heart started racing like loopy as he remembered the memories of the survivors from the previous twin dungeon incident.
‘It was all real… the god statue and the stone statues have been all actual…!!’
The survivors all said the same element – that this location became full of a large god statue that might melt down a rank C Hunter with not anything however a glare from its eyes, in addition to countless stone statues whose moves couldn’t be picked up by means of the naked eye.
This complete open vicinity become pockmarked with clean signs and symptoms of desperate struggle having taken vicinity currently.
‘Wait a minute. where is Hunter Seong Jin-Woo?’
It appeared as if all of the enemies had been removed already. Their precedence become to verify the status of Hunter Seong Jin-Woo.
Choi Jong-In shifted his head this way and that to find Jin-Woo’s presence, and eventually determined him.
“He’s over there.”
Jin-Woo turned into quietly mendacity on his returned simply beneath the god statue as though he was asleep.
“Seong Hunter-nim!!”
Hunters have been about to run to his side, but this time, it changed into Cha Hae-In’s turn to raise each of her arms to stop them in their treks. Feeling urgent now, Woo Jin-Cheol grew to become to examine her.
Her alternatively shapely facial functions were soaked absolutely from cold sweat proper now.
“Cha….. Hunter-nim??”
She bit her decrease lip and spoke up.
“Over there… there’s some thing over there.”
It was then. A positive stone statue kneeling subsequent to Jin-Woo slowly stood up. The wings on its returned have been all torn up, and it handiest had one final arm.
“I don’t don’t forget inviting you humans in right here.”
The angel statue stood up completely and swept its gaze over on the Hunters intruding into the temple. The nook of its lips arched up.
