inside the venue for the press convention held by using the american Hunter Bureau.
the us of the united states had opened her mouth to make her assertion.
“We’re presently amassing Hunters to 1 vicinity.”
was the us finally revealing her hand on the way to save Japan?
journalists had all rushed to wait this press convention after the Hunter Bureau introduced that they could make clear their role. all of them cried out in elation from this declaration as if this rely concerned them for my part.
no one alive would wish for tens of thousands and thousands, no, masses of hundreds of thousands of people to die a grotesque demise. That become why these reporters have been so obsessed with this declaration.
as the atmosphere in the press convention venue heated up to an remarkable degree, the spokesperson ruefully shook his head.
“but, it’s no longer for Japan’s sake.”
What was that?
The collected journalists started replacing glances as hushed murmurs grew louder. It seemed that no person present here had received any prior warning about this as they were all carefully looking at each other’s reactions right now.
The spokesperson pointed to the giant display screen behind him.
“….Heok!!”
“What the hell…”
The mouths of the reporters have been clamped shut by way of the photograph now shown on that display.
The chaotic ecosystem cooled down in an immediately and it became replaced by deathly silence as a substitute. after which, as this weighty silence continued, shocked gasps ought to occasionally be heard in among.
The prepared footage indeed carried that a lot of an effect.
“that is the photo of the Gate found in advance these days in japanese Maryland.”
the dimensions of the Gate was no longer everyday. It changed into smaller than the only in Japan, however still, its sheer scale was uncommonly huge.
The rank of a Gate didn’t usually match up to its length. but then again, a Gate with an great size by no means caused a low-ranked dungeon, both.
The spokesperson endured on together with his explanation.
“consistent with the measurement taken through our investigative team, this Gate is also a rank S, precisely like the one that has regarded in Japan. This kingdom’s top Hunters will consciousness all their efforts in ultimate this Gate, rather.”
some journalists blanketed their faces, a few shook their heads in helplessness, a few spat out pained sighs to display the melancholy every of them felt in that moment.
An exceptional occasion of rank S Gates being generated close to each other had taken place.
Of route, the us of the united states wasn’t worried within the slightest. It turned into now time for the handfuls of rank S Hunters she had reeled in from all around the international to step forward and effortlessly take care of this Gate.
The hassle become with Japan.
‘the us doesn’t have the spare manpower to useful resource Japan.’
when this scary piece of news sooner or later made its way over to Japan, the japanese human beings desperately praying for the individuals’ aid all cried out in despair.
Japan became finished.
The giant-type monsters had been advancing south as it destroyed everything in their direction. humans escaping up north had been slowly however surely being compelled onto a cliff, as well.
In this case, Korea in the end broke her silence over the matter and clarified her function as nicely.
Goh Gun-Hui stood in front of the reporters and spoke up.
“we will not get worried in Japan’s matters.”
***
an afternoon earlier than the clicking convention.
just like any other day, the huge-open office area of the Ah-Jin Guild became occupied by using handiest human beings – Jin-Woo and Yu Jin-Ho.
The latter’s eyes sparkled brightly.
“Hyung-nim? A rank B Gate just became available. ought to I book it?”
“Is it in the Hunters Guild’s jurisdiction?”
“Pardon? Oh, yes it’s miles, hyung-nim.”
“if so, don’t.”
“Oh…. ok. I got it, hyung-nim.”
Having sacrificed a whole lot of her elite Hunters, the Hunters Guild could be going through a severely irritating time now. It’d now not look right if Jin-Woo’s Guild swooped in to take benefit of the situation and stole a Gate from beneath their noses.
Yu Jin-Ho scratched the side of his head earlier than moving his head over to Jin-Woo.
“Hyung-nim? What have you been you searching at so closely like that?”
Jin-Woo tore his eyes faraway from the computer display and leaned his back in opposition to the chair.
“hello, Jin-Ho?”
“yes, hyung-nim?”
“need to i go over to Japan for some time?”
“Excuse me?”
Yu Jin-Ho’s expression hardened.
Of course, he hadn’t forgotten simply who turned into announcing those phrases. He had seen hyung-nim’s incredible feats nearer than everyone else out there.
but, common sense virtually didn’t apply to rank S Gates. It turned into impossible to degree, to start with. Didn’t that suggest this kind of Gate changed into past the scope of what’s considered normal?
just like how there was an unscalable wall even the various rank S Hunters, no one should inform simply what type of dangerous monsters would come out from a Gate that was not possible to degree.
And that became why Yu Jin-Ho simply couldn’t think of Jin-Woo’s words of going to Japan as him absolutely kidding round.
all of sudden, his head shifted over to the computer screen Jin-Woo was searching at.
‘Ah….’
It became full of the breaking information regarding Japan.
‘Hyung-nim become worried about them.’
unlike Yu Jin-Ho, hyung-nim possessed excellent powers. It become pretty obvious that he’d additionally suffer from the distress that the obligation of his strength level delivered along.
“Hyung-nim, preserve up.”
“Mm?”
Jin-Woo most effective lightly threw that concept out but Yu Jin-Ho’s reactions have been as a substitute severe.
Yu Jin-Ho vacated his spot and hurriedly extracted a image album from the report cabinet earlier than bringing it over. whilst he flipped that thick e book open, all styles of newspaper articles were clipped onto its pages.
‘What’s this….?’
they all were articles associated with Jin-Woo.
From the incident of the pink Gate – which the media nevertheless didn’t know that Jin-Woo changed into part of – to the raid of Jeju Island; whilst he solved the issue of the traffic jam; and even when he took care of the odd, unidentifiable stone statues along the Hunters Guild these days, too.
Jin-Woo turned into dumbfounded through this spectacle and asked Yu Jin-Ho.
“You were collecting all of these?”
“yes, hyung-nim.”
Yu Jin-Ho’s face was barely flushed red.
“okay, best. but, why are you displaying me this all of a sudden?”
“you already know what the not unusual topic amongst these articles is, hyung-nim?”
“i wonder….?”
‘….definitely, he’s not trying to say that I’m concerned in all these incidents.’
A quick whilst later, Yu Jin-Ho spoke with a voice softer than the buzzing of a mosquito.
“It’s that I’m nowhere to be discovered in they all, hyung-nim.”
If it weren’t for Jin-Woo’s excessive perception reinforcing his hearing, he’d have neglected that voice.
“What?!”
Jin-Woo seemed lower back, and Yu Jin-Ho raised his drooped head and stared instantly into the former’s eyes.
“Hyung-nim. in case you’re making plans to go to Japan, please take me together with you.”
“….??”
Jin-Woo become baffled here.
He predicted Yu Jin-Ho to both stop him or cheer him on while he stated he’d be heading over to Japan, however by no means did he consider the child would say ‘Take me with you!’
but, Yu Jin-Ho became being useless critical.
“even though it is embarrassing to mention this out loud, hyung-nim, you’re my pleasure. You’re the only element that i’m able to proudly boast about to different human beings, you know.”
“but, you….”
Jin-Woo fast close his mouth up.
Yu Jin-Ho regarded outwardly as if he had possessed greater than absolutely everyone else within the international. consistent with his very own phrases, but, all of these had been shackles that most effective managed to torment him, and to him, they were nothing to be proud about.
however then, it became Yu Jin-Ho’s own choice to paste around Jin-Woo, and then to maintain growing the Ah-Jin Guild. All his, and no one else’s.
Jin-Woo ought to more or much less understand in which Yu Jin-Ho turned into coming from while he said this became his sole source of satisfaction.
“this is why I’d want to be there where you’re, hyung-nim. Please, please take me with you, hyung-nim.”
“You, you haven’t forgotten wherein I need to move, right?”
despite the fact that Yu Jin-Ho changed into a naïve, immature child, he virtually would have heard approximately what changed into taking place in Japan.
That location become presently a true hell in the world. Demons called ‘Giants’ were judging mankind in the maximum gruesome manner imaginable.
Even then, Yu Jin-Ho nodded his head with a decided expression on his face.
“as long as you’re unharmed, hyung-nim, I’ll be okay as well. if you get harm someway… eiii, I don’t wanna even think about that.”
Yu Jin-Ho appeared again with a robust light of believe burning in his eyes.
the feeling you’d get from a person trusting you to such an extent without a doubt couldn’t be described as horrific in any shape or form.
Jin-Woo felt this abnormal warm temperature tickling him in his chest and he fortunately ruffled Yu Jin-Ho’s hair. The latter became flustered but he didn’t withdraw his head.
“H-hyung-nim?!”
“i used to be only joking, ? Why would ever I visit Japan whilst instances are like this?”
Jin-Woo stood up from his spot.
“good day, that’s enough for these days. let’s simply move domestic. You labored difficult besides.”
“Uh? You’re going domestic already, hyung-nim?”
Jin-Woo stepped out of doors the office door whilst waving his palms. Yu Jin-Ho bowed his waist deeply to send him off.
“I’ll see you day after today, hyung-nim!”
***
Clunk.
Jin-Woo stepped into his house.
A actually mouth-watering savoury heady scent of stew tickled his nostrils. He stood instantaneous and soaked inside the night’s smell.
‘this is so good.’
one of the extremely good things about mom being discharged from the hospital turned into that now, he had a person to welcome him again domestic every day. The dark and quiet domestic of the beyond no longer existed in his lifestyles. now not anymore.
“Son, you’re home?”
He heard his mother’s voice coming from the kitchen.
“sure, mother.”
He took off his shoes and neatly organized them before strolling into the kitchen himself. His mom turned into looking behind her and he sent her a smile as a greeting.
“I’m domestic.”
“Will you eat dinner?”
“sure. What approximately Jin-Ah, although?”
“She says she’s were given no urge for food.”
Jin-Woo’s hand stopped earlier than it completed pulling out his chair.
“Even now?”
“She couldn’t get a wink of sleep ultimate night. She best fell asleep now not too long ago.”
“…”
Jin-Woo hid his presence and carefully opened the door to his sister’s room.
“Mm… Mm…..”
Jin-Ah was rolling around in her mattress, suffering to fall right into a deeper slumber. She commonly maintained this kind of vibrant appearance, however it seemed that she hadn’t gotten over her intellectual trauma but.
‘on the other hand…. She had to undergo such an experience, didn’t she.’
His rage in the direction of monsters boiled over each time he noticed how tons his sister became struggling like this.
Why have been the ones things ad infinitum tormenting humanity?
It became then, Jin-Woo recalled the sight of these silver-clad winged infantrymen pouring out from the Gates in the sky to comb away the monsters. The army with its unfathomable length, burning with clean animosity in opposition to the horde of monsters. If such an navy sincerely existed, then….
‘Are they our allies?’
Wasn’t there an antique pronouncing about an enemy of an enemy being a pal?
Jin-Woo studied his snoozing sister quietly for a touch at the same time as, earlier than closing the door in the back of him.
*
“thank you for the meal.”
After finishing his dinner, Jin-Woo headed off to the affiliation’s fitness center to get a bit little bit of exercise in. It indeed proved to be surely handy to have a Shadow Soldier stationed within the gym.
Sweating loads turned into the great treatment while one’s head became clogged complete of complicated mind. And so, he wanted to sweat buckets for the primary time in a while.
Jin-Woo summoned Beru out.
As he started to lightly loosen his frame, the former king of the ants civilly knelt earlier than him and reduced his head.
“Oh, my king…”
Beru became the sole soldier among Jin-Woo’s Shadow army that might face up to his attacks, as a minimum for a little at the same time as. however even he flinched grandly after sensing the volume of Jin-Woo’s trade and shuddered where he stood.
“I offer my unreserved congratulations, my king. I sense from you a far more amount of energy than ever earlier than.”
Beru sensed an electrifying shiver run down his body after sensing that notable amount of magic energy oozing out of the ‘Black coronary heart’. His head, still reduced to the floor, was trembling exceedingly now.
Jin-Woo didn’t summon his Shadow Soldier out to boast of his increase, even though. He gestured to Beru to stand up.
“….??”
the former ant king tilted his head after picking up Jin-Woo’s worried eyes, which will be the first time he had sensed one of these issue ever given that turning into a part of the Shadow army.
Jin-Woo spoke underneath his breath.
“assault me with the whole thing you’ve got.”
“Oh, my king. How dare I even…..”
“It’s first-class. I simply need to shed some sweat for a little even as. And you realize no person else except you can try this.”
“I… i’m genuinely honoured….”
Feeling touched, Beru was about to kneel down again, but then, Jin-Woo glared at him with a pair of very sharp eyes.
“cling on a minute. you understand, your vocabulary seems to be increasing each day. You haven’t gobbled a person else somewhere, have you ever?”
Beru’s shoulders flinched particularly, however Jin-Woo quickly let go of the problem. He clenched his fists and issued his order once more, instead.
“remember to hit me with the entirety you’ve got.”
“If my Sovereign’s wills it, then I shall observe….”
Beru raised his head as his claws lengthened.
“Kiiiieeehhk-!!”
there has been no burden on Beru as he knew that his claws could in no way contact his Sovereign. Jin-Woo grinned after when you consider that and nodded his head. This became what he desired, besides.
“Kiiieehhk!”
in conjunction with the thunderous roar that shook the interior of the gymnasium, Beru pounced on his grasp.
*
boom!
Beru slammed down at the floor and turned into laid out flat on his back.
“k-kiiieck….”
127 times fought, 127 times defeated.
indeed, even though he threw the whole lot he had, he did not touch even the hair on his grasp’s frame. inside the last few days that Beru didn’t see his king, Jin-Woo had grow to be far stronger than ever earlier than.
The show of strength nowadays most effective deepened the level of recognize and loyalty Beru held closer to his king.
at the same time as the former ant king remained sprawled on the ground unable to move, Jin-Woo settled down subsequent to him. There have been some strands of sweat on his forehead. but this become as a ways as he should take it.
If he moved any more difficult than this, then this fitness center could had been demolished very quickly in any respect.
Jin-Woo remained seated and stared into the a ways distance.
Beru silently sat returned up and knelt down before asking him.
“Oh, my king… Is there a be counted that’s troubling you?”
“Troubling me, is it?”
“A portion of our focus and the Sovereign’s are connected as one. The king’s problems are transmitted as pain to us, the subjects.”
“…”
To think, he’d get consoled via a Shadow Soldier. not handiest that, from a dude who originally was an insect, too. Jin-Woo couldn’t assist however form a wry smirk.
Now generally, he’d without a doubt laugh and positioned the problem to bed, but this time, things had been a touch specific.
“There’s something I want to do, however I’m not sure how I need to go about doing that.”
The events taking vicinity in Japan had been, strictly speaking, a person else’s problems.
Who knew what type of risks were in hiding and looking ahead to him there? except, it wasn’t as though he should resolve every unmarried incident that befell inside the world, either.
And no longer to forget about, there was that resolved emotional luggage among the Korean Hunter’s affiliation and its japanese counterpart to recall, as well.
all these thoughts handiest served to make the inner of his head greater complex than ever earlier than.
It turned into then, Beru raised his head.
“Oh, my king!”
Jin-Woo checked out Beru with surprised eyes. This become the primary time this guy expressed his thoughts this strongly ever considering that turning into a Shadow Soldier.
“nothing have to emerge as a dilemma within the route of my king.”
Beru’s voice full of conviction made him sound more like a near aide that stayed by means of Jin-Woo’s facet for a long time in preference to a monster that got changed into a Shadow Solder lately.
“the only that does what he desires to. that’s what it way to be a king.”
“keep on. I hold telling you, I’m no longer a king.”
certainly, the magnificence he were given coincidentally thru the system simply so came about to be the Shadow Sovereign. That turned into all.
but, Beru strongly denied Jin-Woo’s declaration.
“That is wrong, my king. My king, you own the power to reap something you choice.”
Jin-Woo’s eyes shook around closely.
Ba-thump.
For a few motive, his coronary heart started pounding away alternatively violently.
“you’re, surely, a king.”
‘That stuff about being a king again.’
but….
however, his heart that commenced racing on its personal didn’t need to relax that easily at all.
‘some thing I desire, is it…..’
Jin-Woo shifted his gaze returned to the gap, but his eyes had been sparkling with a cold light now.
***

The affiliation President then proceeded to expose each little detail of what the japanese Hunters were seeking to do returned then to these newshounds. The proofs he presented simplest solidified the inscrutable fact even similarly.
The CCTV footage of the President of eastern association, Matsumoto Shigeo, brazenly yelling at the top of his lungs at his Korean counterpart even after he positioned into movement this sort of dastardly scheme left a extreme shock to all of the newshounds looking on.
And the japanese newshounds, hoping for South Korea to come back to their useful resource, could only watch the pictures with utter devastation.
before long, their fingers conserving the cameras have been pointing right down to the floor.
most effective a brief second in the past the individuals stated that they couldn’t assist Japan. In such a state of affairs, the explosive revelations from the Korean Hunter’s association were no one-of-a-kind from passing a loss of life sentence to the japanese human beings. Thick, burning tears commenced falling from the eyes of the japanese reporters.
“…..this is the whole thing I wanted to mention.”
The affiliation President Goh Gun-Hui finished announcing what he came to say.
usually, this would be the time while infinite questions commenced inundating him, but no reporter present right here may want to unshackle their mouths from the nasty surprise and astonishment to accomplish that.
The terrible surroundings of the clicking conference became broadcast stay to the relaxation of the usa through the various television cameras. most effective then did the visitors looking on realise why the Koreans had maintained their silence over the disaster unfolding in Japan.
however then….
“but….”
Goh Gun-Hui regarded as if he’d be turning around to leave as the click conference had come to an end however then, he endured to speak on.
“this is the choice of the Hunter’s association, and ours by myself. We gained’t forestall any man or woman Hunters from doing what they want to do.”
What changed into he even speakme about now?
Noisy, noisy….
Like animals lazily waking up from their wintry weather hibernation, the newshounds nevertheless frozen in surprise started out slowly changing glances with each other once more.
“there may be one such man or woman. there is one Hunter who needs to go to Japan and do away with the massive monsters.”
Who may want to that be?
Who desired to move to Japan beneath the modern-day state of affairs all by way of himself?
The bottomed-out atmosphere of the press conference venue abruptly started boiling over. Even the japanese newshounds dropping tears raised their cameras with their trembling arms.

The lone strand of hope changed into busy hammering away of their hearts now.
one of the Korean journalists raised his hand up. The association President pointed to this man. perhaps fearing that his turn could be snatched far from him, he fast asked his query.
