The cameraman felt a creeping chill move slowly throughout his skin.
‘Wha-what’s the meaning of this?’
What become about to manifest here?
He turned into deep interior a cave in which breezes shouldn’t exist, but this eerily chilly air inexplicably brushed beyond his returned.
‘Now that I reflect onconsideration on it…’
simply as he commenced wondering whether the environment had grow to be too quiet or now not….
Kiiiieeeehhhk-!!
Thick, heavy screams resounded out in the queen’s chamber and infinite black palms started out taking pictures out from the floor.
Tuck.
Tuck….
The hands grabbed the ground, and commenced pulling themselves out.
“Heok!!”
The cameraman unwittingly gasped out in pure fright. His eyes were opened wider, and his respiration grew difficult and heavy. He was a rank A Hunter yet he could scarcely trust the things taking area, so what would the visitors at home watching be feeling proper now?
at the same time as the cameraman remained stewing in his own astonishment, the owners of the black fingers subsequently emerged out of the floor.
‘Ant monsters?!’
At a casual glance, they gave the look of ant monsters, however on the other hand, countless streams of black smokes have been rising from their our bodies. It turned into hard to inform whether or not these monsters had been physical beings or constituted of gases.
Wouldn’t one doubtlessly get that type of appearance if one carved out the statue of an ant monster using a block of black-coloured dry ice? several masses of such matters rose up from the ground.
The cameraman’s heart beat so fast and so loud that he couldn’t even breath now.
due to the fact scene, Baek Yun-Ho too gasped out in shock as properly. He turned into comparatively calmer than the cameraman, but that didn’t mean he should near his slack jaw.
‘All of those…. are his summons???’
unlike the two speechless men, Jin-Woo became forming a satisfied grin at the new additions to his shadow navy.
‘pleasant.’
Now, the number of his Shadow infantrymen effortlessly beaten the surviving ant monsters.
‘With such things as this, looks as if I gained’t need to in my opinion step out now.’
Jin-Woo saved the Demon King’s Shortswords returned to his inventory. after which, issued the very first order to his new squaddies.
‘cross. Don’t depart any one of them alive.’
Kiiieeehhk-!!
With the same intensity as lower back while the ant monsters flooded into the queen’s chamber, Jin-Woo’s new soldiers crashed into their enemies like a tsunami wave.
The as soon as seemingly-limitless swarm of ant monsters changed into now being swept away by using the black tide.
Woooahhhh!!!
A large cheering roar broke out within the television station’s situation room.
The director shot up from his seat and clapped his fingers in happiness.
“Yesss!! He’s doing it!!”
Seeing the ones disgusting ant monsters being swept away like that, it felt like his tight chest become being pried open once more. It turned into as if the 10-yr-vintage indigestion plaguing him had subsequently been flushed away.
If simplest there have been no other eyes watching right here, he’d have asked the manufacturer to display capture that second and have it sent over to him later – so he should relieve his collected strain even supposing it became several months later. Nay, several years later!
It became indeed very regretful to peer the dying of Hunter Min Byung-Gu. when the director noticed the scene of the team’s lone Healer die at the fingers of that d*mn monster, he concept that the heavens were crashing down on him.
Even then, if the Korean Hunters get out of the ant tunnel adequately with the help from that unidentified Hunter?
‘That’s all I ask for!’
The Korean group had already carried out its goal by using killing the ant queen. With their best approach of propagation gone, there was no need to even repeat the easy reality that the ants could in the end die out in the Jeju Island.
and then, what approximately the japanese?
indeed, what might appear to the japanese team?
on account that they deserted the essential project right within the center of all of it and escaped with their tail between their legs, there has been glaringly no need at hand over the promised proportion of the loot. And now not handiest that, the Koreans may want to even demand reparation from them, rather.
And of course, the footage of the raid selling like hot cakes would be the tasty icing at the cake, too.
The complexion of the director brightened like a noon solar.
‘simply wherein did this big ball of fortune fall out from?!’
The director’s expression, as he persevered to stare at the face of Jin-Woo within the display’s display screen, remained somewhat stressed. It turned into then.
another employee hurriedly ran closer to him.
“Sir!”
The director shot up from his seat, nearly freaking out of his cranium.
“what is it this time?!”
The director’s expression hardened in an immediate.
His heart began quivering, questioning that perhaps every other mishap occurred someplace just as he was beginning to soak himself within the sea of happiness.
What with the state of affairs arriving at this factor in time, the director became speedy growing green with envy of this dumb worker. He even wanted to reach out to cover that employee’s mouth and pretend that no awful information was afoot.
‘looks like I’ve sooner or later misplaced it….’
completely ignorant of what his boss turned into contemplating at that second, the worker spoke hurriedly with an excited face.
“We determined that man’s identity!”
The director’s eyes opened up first-rate-extensive.
“What was that?!”
in the office of the Hunter association’s President.
Kwajeek!!
Goh Gun-Hui hurriedly lifted his hand off the overwhelmed armrest. His private doctor sitting subsequent to him became to observe him.
“…association President.”
“….evidently I got overexcited just now.”
He unconsciously gripped too tight, and this befell. however, how may want to he now not get excited through the scenes he turned into seeing proper now?
certainly, looking Jin-Woo’s overall performance gambling out on the massive display made his emotions properly up with out him even realising it. If most effective his frame accepted it, he’d have gone there to combat along, too.
“Getting overexcited isn’t always top for your frame, sir.”
Goh Gun-Hui nodded his head.
there was most effective one motive why he, because the association President, wasn’t present in the undertaking manage centre. Didn’t remember whether this subjugation operation ended as a fulfillment or a failure, there was a ability hazard that he’d pressure his coronary heart clearly through being there.
Even looking the printed like this carried sufficient threat, so the personal doctor had to installation a camp next to Goh Gun-Hui.
‘maybe, it would’ve been higher to no longer permit him watch the broadcast.’
The personal medical doctor worried approximately his selection for a short moment, however after seeing the expression etched on the face of the affiliation President, he quickly shook his head.
Ever because the Hunter named Seong Jin-Woo seemed on the scene, that huge smile didn’t want to leave Goh Gun-Hui’s face.
[“Hey, that man, that’s Seong Jin-Woo!”]
In that critical moment, as the depression fast converted into a loud cheer, the words association President cried out nevertheless rung within the medical doctor’s ears.
in the meantime, Goh Gun-Hui became beaming widely.
‘i will’t accept as true with this is occurring.’
He then carefully located his hand returned at the sofa’s armrest. unless he became maintaining onto some thing, his complete frame would itch too much and he’d be not able to bear it.
‘however, how did Hunter Seong Jin-Woo get there?’
initially, he was significantly intrigued via this predicament. The island must be overflowing with the ant monsters, so how did he seem there with out each person else noticing it?
but, this kind of issue wasn’t essential right now.
No, the honestly critical issue would be that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo was there. And with that, the alternative Hunters had hope. those two have been the crucial things.
It was then.
Goh Gun-Hui’s eyes grew greater large after witnessing the spectacle of Jin-Woo developing even greater infantrymen by means of extracting shadows out from the useless ant monsters.
‘That friend, he lied to me, didn’t he?’
Who ought to’ve guessed that there have been properly extra than “handiest approximately a hundred” summons? Even at a casual look, there should’ve been over 300, smooth. however, Goh Gun-Hui didn’t seem like a person who’d been lied to.
No, a smile of contentment became filling up his face, alternatively.
‘He said that he desired to combat against the monsters, didn’t he?’
Goh Gun-Hui could now understand a bit extra of why the teenagers said those phrases to him back then. in the end, he possessed such excellent strength, so no monsters obtainable ought to faze him.
For certain, Jin-Woo gave the look of he turned into enjoying himself as he fought the monsters. It became to the quantity that the viewers watching felt a deep stirring within their hearts.
but….
Why did Hunter Seong Jin-Woo, who so dearly wanted to warfare monsters that badly, asked to be left out of the Korean raid team?
‘He have to’ve had an critical motive behind that choice.’
Goh Gun-Hui nodded his head. without the sort of motive, there has been simply no way that a man who shaped an expression like that during war might willingly stroll faraway from a raid group.
when his idea arrived at that point, Goh Gun-Hui grew very curious about what should probable be Jin-Woo’s purpose.
Tang, tang!
Jin-Ah turned into studying in her bed room, but she heard the ones loud noises and hurriedly got here out to the residing room.
“mother??”
“I, I’m sorry. That changed into too loud, wasn’t it?”
Jin-Ah shook her head.
mother had already diminished the extent of the television until not lots might be heard so she’d now not interrupt her daughter’s studies. Jin-Ah didn’t feel like unduly burdening her any extra than that.
“besides all that, what’s taking place? Is the tv broken?”
“no longer certain. It simply stopped working all of a sudden.”
“in which’s oppa?”
“He’s proper h….”
mom became around to look, best to gasp out in wonder.
“Oh, my?? in which did he go? but, he was right here simplest approximately a 2nd ago??”
Jin-Ah tilted her head and opened Jin-Woo’s bedroom door.
“Oppa?”
He wasn’t even in the rest room, either. Jin-Ah proceeded to scour the whole thing of the condominium earlier than turning around towards her mom.
“What were you watching collectively just now?”
“The Jeju Island raid.”
“…..”
unexpectedly, Jin-Ah became overcome with a positive ominous foreboding. Now that she concept approximately it, the whole apartment building changed into bustling with loud noises ever since a bit at the same time as in the past.
‘No way….?’
Jin-Ah hurriedly ran lower back internal her room and switched on her telephone. while she did…..
just because the energetic, loud cheers exploded out from the flooring above and underneath hers, Jin-Ah’s eyes opened wider as she ultimately showed the scene gambling out within her telephone’s screen.
“Oppa?!”
After thoroughly massacring every unmarried ant monster determined within the queen’s chamber, Jin-Woo stored his squaddies returned inner his shadow.
Even now, ants that had been spread out to the relaxation of the island have been scurrying back to the ant tunnel. He judged that his priority should be positioned on guiding the Hunters out of here to somewhere secure before more ants confirmed up.
‘we’ve got the injured right here to worry approximately, too.’
Jin-Woo strode toward the Hunters. Beside Baek Yun-Ho and the cameraman, the relaxation weren’t in a great form. Cha Hae-In become nonetheless subconscious, and the three others had suffered some critical wounds, as properly.
Jin-Woo requested even as looking around.
“What about Min Byung-Gu Hunter-nim?”
Baek Yun-Ho shook his head with a hardened expression.
“…”
no longer announcing anything else, Jin-Woo delivered out the potions and started treating the Hunters separately. since the potions might become vain when they go away his fingers, he had to in my opinion feed each of the Hunters.
“M-mm….”
After drinking the potions, Hunters started out regaining their cognizance.
“What’s this?”
Im Tae-Gyu speedy raised his higher torso up, touched throughout his frame, and spat out a pant of amazement.
“What the….?”
each Choi Jong-In and Mah Dong-Wook recovered from the numerous accidents on their our bodies in no time.
“Hmm…”
“Cough, cough.”
Choi Jong-In had no clue on what had transpired here, so as soon as he laid his eyes on Jin-Woo, he turned into taken aback instead significantly.
“Mister Seong Jin-Woo? What are you doing right here??”
“permit’s communicate after you have out of this location first.”
“Oh….”
Choi Jong-In took a go searching and nodded his head. They had been still caught in the deepest part of the ant tunnel. This became no location to idly chat away, indeed.
“trainer Seong!”
Having regained his eyesight, Mah Dong-Wook became able to reach out and snatch Jin-Woo’s arms.
“had been you the only preventing off those ants? thanks. thanks so much!!”
Jin-Woo responded inside the same way to him as well.
“let us get out of right here first.”
“got it.”
in the end, Cha Hae-In.
standing before her, a frown shaped on Jin-Woo’s face.
‘something’s no longer proper… her aura’s a ways too susceptible.’
at the same time as feeling a feel of foreboding, Jin-Woo raised her head and carefully poured the potion down her mouth.
certain sufficient, a message fast popped up in his view.
Tti-ring.
[When the remaining HP is less than 10%, it is impossible to recover HP with healing potions.]
Jin-Woo’s expression crumpled.
while he slowly pulled out his hand helping her head, it become soaked in her blood.
‘……’
That ant b*stard.
That creature inflicted a deadly blow to the most powerful character some of the Korean Hunters, Cha Hae-In, with not anything however a unmarried blow.
the only cause why these Hunters have been nonetheless alive wasn’t that they had been robust. on the contrary, that b*stard actually toyed with them for a little at the same time as, that changed into all.
Jin-Woo’s expression hardened.
‘anyhow, I gotta….’
Cha Hae-In’s injuries took priority. If her wounds couldn’t be healed with the aid of the potions, then she had to get out of this island as quickly as possible and get a Healer-kind Hunter to heal her, ASAP.
“let’s hurry.”
Jin-Woo cautiously picked her up and stood up to leave. other Hunters additionally stood up.
As they had been getting ready to depart the ant queen’s chamber, Jin-Woo walking in the front of the p.c. all at once spat out a long sigh.
‘……’
Baek Yun-Ho could guess the cause why.
Jin-Woo entrusted Cha Hae-In over to Baek Yun-Ho. dumped with the obligation of carrying her round, Baek Yun-Ho fashioned a flustered expression, and he hurriedly raised his voice.
“I would love to assist.”
Jin-Woo checked out the Hunters gift, inclusive of Baek Yun-Ho, and told all of them in no unsure phrases.
“Do not ever step forward at some stage in the fight. It’ll be faster that manner.”
“but, Mister Seong Jin-Woo, meaning….”
Choi Jung-Hoon changed into nevertheless oblivious to what had transpired earlier than, so he become approximately to speak up his opinion, but Mah Dong-Wook stopped him and shook his head.
He won’t have seen the state of affairs unfold with his personal eyes, however via his perception, he was capable of come across how Jin-Woo annihilated the swarm of ants from the beginning till the cease.
Jin-Woo become proper about this.
however, Baek Yun-Ho nonetheless butted in.
“Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim.”
Jin-Woo turned his head to take a look at him.
“I recognize complete well which you’re robust. i can hopefully say that nobody here is aware of that higher than me. but…..”
Baek Yun-Ho spoke with a serious expression on his face.
“but, you’ve already summoned some distance too many creatures via now.”
but, why would that be a problem? while Jin-Woo stared at him with a confused expression, Baek Yun-Ho were given flustered and quickly added more rationalization.
“You have to’ve had exhausted quite a few your magical power by now. What might take place if you completely spend them?”
‘Ahh… so that’s what he was speakme about.’
Jin-Woo guessed from Baek Yun-Ho’s phrases that the other Hunters utilising the summoning magic had to be the usage of quite a few magic strength to summon even a unmarried creature.
‘I’m sure there aren’t any actual reason to show that my Shadow infantrymen don’t need any magic strength, proper?’
Even with out him announcing whatever, his infantrymen wouldn’t seem like regular summons to those humans’s eyes, anyway. So, Jin-Woo determined to alternate the story ever so barely.
“My summons don’t require as a great deal magic power as you observed. You don’t want to fear about me.”
“Excuse me?”
each Baek Yun-Ho and the cameraman exclaimed out on the same time.
He controlled that many summoned creatures all of sudden, but he changed into pronouncing that the magic power usage wasn’t excessive? Then, just what was his weak factor, then?
‘……..’
Realising that explaining would take up too much time, he clearly turned towards the cave up ahead, as a substitute. With brilliant timing, the waves of ant monsters have been rushing in the chamber.
‘Wow, there are still so a lot of them.’
Their side had a person in a crucial situation. So, he couldn’t come up with the money for to waste time right here.
Jin-Woo activated the Sovereign’s Territory for optimum efficiency. The floor below his toes turned into straight away dyed in black.
simply as he was achieved with preparations to name his squaddies returned out once more, an ominous, creepy air blew in from the opposite side of the cave.
‘……..?’
Jin-Woo shifted his gaze over to in which that eerie air of secrecy was coming from. there has been this one person among the loads of ants. It appeared much like the others, but it become a very different sort of monster in comparison to the others.
‘Ah, so that’s the one.’
Jin-Woo immediately recognised the ‘ant king’. and also, the ant king known Jin-Woo as well.
Taking its time, the ant king slowly walked over to him.
“A human… you appear to own a pretty strong air of secrecy.”
It even imitated Goto Ryuji’s speech pattern.
Hunters without delay recalled the nightmare of some moments ago and flinched grandly as soon as spotting that ant monster. alternatively, Jin-Woo confirmed no outward ripples and truly stared on the creature with out announcing a phrase.
in the end, the ant king stood before Jin-Woo.
“Are you the king of people?”
“…..Huh, an insect that knows how to talk. well, I’ll be.”
when Jin-Woo spoke back with a much less than inspired expression on his face, the ant king’s personal expression crumpled unsightly.
The electricity the queen bestowed it with, and the electricity it accrued thru the ‘Gluttony’ skill – the instant the ant king unleashed all of its magic power, its body ballooned up significantly in size. Its peak, which was round the same as Jin-Woo’s, grew by at the least 1.five instances taller.
The ant king then screeched out loudly right in front of Jin-Woo’s nostril.
Kiiiiiieeeeeehhhhhk-!!!
Jin-Woo didn’t even blink once, and as a substitute, a smirk shaped on his lips.
“Yup, now you’re appearing properly like an insect.”
after which, he himself unleashed his personal magical energy.
