Park Hui-Jin had realised something back then.
And that could be the extent of terror an upper-ranked dungeon should own, and how powerless she changed into in front of such overwhelming odds.
‘It’s like, I’m the one who ended up gaining knowledge of what Mister Seong Jin-Woo desired to teach Hahn tune-Yi….’
It became sort of embarrassing, however what should she do? Pretending that terrifying things weren’t terrifying became an exercising in foolhardiness and stupidity.
The reviews she had back within the crimson Gate were enough to make her pores and skin crawl. however…
but, simply because of her worry, she couldn’t surrender on all of the candy remedy and the repute loved with the aid of a rank B Hunter.
The sky-excessive annual salary!
The considerable societal blessings!!
And ultimately, the public popularity!
If one not noted the inherent chance, then being a Hunter was quite tons the ideal profession. exactly because of the high-danger factor, the go back on ‘funding’ was equally huge.
however now, Park Hui-Jin had found out a certain-fireplace way to decrease the hazard associated with her activity.
‘And this is to go on a raid collectively with the crew chief Seong Jin-Woo.’
the only man or woman Park Hui-Jin turned into fully resentful of lower back inside the pink Gate dungeon changed into none aside from Hahn track-Yi. there has been handiest one motive for that.
And that could be the promise Seong Jin-Woo made closer to Hahn music-Yi.
– I introduced you here with me, so i’m able to take complete responsibility and defend you.
if you analyse the ones words in a extraordinary manner, then he turned into trying to say that he had no motive in any respect to guard other group participants except Hahn tune-Yi. No, they had been simply luggage.
So, she was continuously concerned that those two folks could abandon the organization and sneak away ignored.
however on the sixth day….
Seong Jin-Woo definitely did clean the upper-rank dungeon all by himself and took Hahn track-Yi home, secure and sound.
He had saved his promise.
given that, Park Hui-Jin have become positive of one element. And that could be…
so long as she became working for him throughout the raids, she’d by no means discover herself in risk.
the moment she realised this, her heart started pounding uncontrollably. And the extent of her excitement hadn’t cooled off even till now.
His calm and cold decision making.
His superb abilities.
And no longer most effective that, his experience of responsibility, too.
She definitely desired to head on a raid collectively with Seong Jin-Woo. That turned into why she got here up with that time period of hers.
‘They should placed me within the team leader Seong Jin-Woo’s raid crew, no questions requested.’
Baek Yun-Ho and Ahn Sahng-Min chatted to each other. And a touch bit later….
“We accept your terms.”
Baek Yun-Ho smiled genially.
“if so, pass over Park Hui-Jin, act collectively with chief Ahn in the meanwhile.”
“thanks very plenty, sir.”
however, she turned into nicely aware that scouting that man wouldn’t be easy. Seong Jin-Woo turned into greater than nicely privy to his very own proper really worth, in any case.
‘Even all through the purple Gate, he become usually so complete of confidence.’
certainly, making him ‘pass’ would be one hell of a challenge.
‘nevertheless….’
She now had another danger to satisfy him once more. An imperceptible smile shaped on Park Hui-Jin’s lips.
Baek Yun-Ho turned into pondering something till then, earlier than establishing his lips in a few difficulty.
“leader Ahn.”
“sure, sir.”
“I’d want to recognize Mister Seong Jin-Woo’s touch details.”
“Guild master, this is….”
Ahn Sahng-Min decided to inform everything concerning on why he needed to cover the subjects regarding Jin-Woo till now.
Baek Yun-Ho wordlessly listened to it and gravely nodded his head.
“It’s comprehensible that he desires to stay nameless, what with him possessing such notable competencies. in the end, there are sufficient humans on this global who want to live out of the limelight, too.”
however then, any such man did display his powers in front of quite some eyewitnesses. certain, the situation back then might have been urgent, but it was also possibly that he felt extra or much less ok approximately letting the sector realize of his powers.
“so long as the matter isn’t blown out of proportion, I’m sure Mister Seong Jin-Woo received’t blame you, chief Ahn.”
Ahn Sahng-Min nodded his head.
Of direction, nobody present in this room wished to leak this story beyond those partitions. in no way thoughts for Seong Jin-Woo, it might now not be a good thing for each the association and the White Tiger, as properly.
“That’s that, however….”
Ahn Sahng-Min changed into concerned about some thing else, even though.
And that might be his boss rushing matters and finishing up screwing the whole thing up due to the fact he didn’t realize of Hunter Seong Jin-Woo’s instead decisive character.
He dearly desired to prevent that, as a minimum.
“Sir. I think… you at once contacting him is a chunk….”
Baek Yun-Ho speedy figured out what Ahn Sahng-Min become trying to say right here.
“Ahh, don’t fear. I’m now not trying to touch him in regards to the recruitment.”
“Pardon me? but then, why….?”
“It’s as Mister Seong Jin-Woo stated ultimate night time.”
Baek Yun-Ho realised some thing after paying attention to Park Hui-Jin’s debriefing. Seong Jin-Woo was the White Tiger Guild’s benefactor.
He had saved three new recruits of the Guild. not most effective that, however he additionally took care of the pink Gate, thereby ensuring that the honour of the White Tiger wasn’t tarnished.
despite the fact that the affiliation’s people made the blunder, simply how horrific would the impact at the Guild’s public image were if this news got out, and anybody discovered of them losing nearly all in their new recruits?
simply imagining it gave Baek Yun-Ho nightmares – sufficient to have a complete freak out, nearly, right here.
‘And there i used to be, looking to stop that man or woman no matter what just to get to the lowest of the incident….’
He may want to now apprehend the cause why the young people become feeling quite grumpy at that point.
If he didn’t recognize the circumstances, satisfactory, but now that he knew, he simply had to do a certain component as a dwelling, breathing individual.
“because the representative of the White Tiger Guild, I’d want to formally specific my gratitude to Mister Seong Jin-Woo. And to properly apologise for the day prior to this’s incident, as properly.”
‘Ahh, if that’s what he manner, then….’
Ahn Sahng-Min could apprehend now.
With Beak Yun-Ho’s straight-ahead, no-nonsense personality, he wouldn’t bother Seong Jin-Woo with the topics of recruitment beneath the pretext of thanking the youngsters.
And nicely, he also desired to bring his gratitude as well.
“I understand.”
Ahn Sahng-Min pulled his telephone out and determined Seong Jin-Woo’s numbers as an alternative quickly.
“what is his variety?”
Baek Yun-Ho also pulled his own cellphone out to store the touch quantity.
It turned into then.
“His quantity is….”
simply as Ahn Sahng-Min became approximately to examine the smartphone range, he felt some thing become off, and turned his head to his side.
“Uhm, excuse me. What are you doing, Park Hui-Jin Hunter-nim?”
“Ah, well, I….”
With a clumsy smile on her face, Park Hui-Jin sneakily hid her cellphone away, its screen nevertheless showing “upload new contacts”.
***
in the primary Guild in Korea, the Hunters.
A as an alternative interesting piece of news located its way to the proprietor of the Hunters and the currently-lively rank S Hunter, Choi Jong-In.
“This… has this been confirmed?”
could anyone knock on their bosses’ doors with unconfirmed facts?
leader of the recruitment branch, Joh Myoung-Ki, nodded his head.
“sure, Sir. We acquired this information in advance these days from the association.”
every principal Guild had one or two informants inside the association.
It might not be a kosher issue to do, however this became the handiest manner to live one step ahead of the opposition, contacting an thrilling new skills first if one had been to emerge out of nowhere.
but, earlier today, the Hunters’ informant had leaked a quite peculiar tale. And after lengthy deliberation, Joh Myoung-Ki decided to come to his boss’s office with this information.
‘Why? because, the White Tiger Guild is on a roll in recent times, and they’re huge enough to threaten us, the Hunters.’
So, he figured that this facts was well worth reporting to the boss guy. precisely as Joh Myoung-Ki had suspected, Choi Jong-In displayed extremely good interest within the count number proper away.
“From a crimson Gate that killed one rank A and six rank Bs, two rank Cs again alive? no longer handiest that, they managed to clean the dungeon, too? this is natural nonsense.”
….even supposing there has been one rank B among them, there was no way that this became authentic.
Choi Jong-In shook his head as he continued to study the memo.
“surely, there was someone else assisting them out. someone not referred to in right here.”
Choi Jong-In turned into positive of this. His full-size reviews in raiding dungeons informed him as so.
Joh Myoung-Ki answered.
“seems like the association also suspects that, Sir. but….”
“but?”
“plainly the White Tiger isn’t saying something.”
“So, is the association making plans to miss it, then?”
“I heard that they don’t need to conflate the matters any in addition, considering that their fault on this incident is already too considerable, Sir.”
“H-mm….”
Choi Jong-In rested his hand against his chin. It changed into a dependancy of his each time he fell into deep idea.
It changed into comprehensible from the association’s factor of view, but why become the White Tiger maintaining quiet on this depend? There will be only one reason.
“The White Tiger have to’ve received help from someone they don’t want others to understand about.”
“I also notion the identical aspect, sir.”
The reviews of the 2 people gift matched.
Choi Jong-In’s brain rapidly kicked into gear.
‘A nameless helper who can rescue lower ranked Hunters from a dungeon that’s difficult sufficient to kill maximum of the better ranked Hunters….’
He ought to slightly keep himself again from the curiosity now.
‘A novice who hasn’t gone through the rank project check? Or, maybe a convict whose identity can’t be discovered?’
either case changed into k with him.
If it turned into a amateur, then the Hunters have to carry that person to their fold. If it became a convict, alternatively, then he’d be able to throw some dust in the White Tiger’s path.
Choi Jong-In’s eyes started out glowing.
“looks like we want to find out who became there.”
“have you ever thought of a great manner, sir?”
“if you want to catch a hidden racoon, you have to set the racoon’s hole on fireplace first.”
Joh Myoung-Ki’s eyes grew more spherical.
“Are you making plans to set the White Tiger Guild on hearth?!”
“you think I’m loopy?? Why need to I set someone else’s perfectly satisfactory enterprise on fire??”
“Ahh, my apologies, Sir. since you are such an terrific magic-kind Hunter and all, I, uh…..”
His nickname wouldn’t be ‘the remaining weapon’ for no cause, now wouldn’t it? If Choi Jong-In were given serious and used his powers in complete, then blowing up a constructing might be as smooth as pie.
in any case, Choi Jong-In endured on.
“no longer that. We just ought to create a hot mess.”
“So, it become fire…..”
while Choi Jong-In began obvious at his underling, Joh Myoung-Ki hurriedly close his mouth.
“We leak this to the media.”
‘this is…!’
Joh Myoung-Ki’s eyes widened.
“The huge mistake of the Hunters’ affiliation, a massacre of the huge Guild’s members, and sooner or later, the following mystery that got buried underfoot. The media just loves that form of stuff. Wouldn’t you compromise?”
Joh Myoung-Ki’s head mechanically went up and down in a nod.
Choi Jong-In chuckled slyly.
“after they get bombarded via the non-stop barrage from the media, the White Tiger will grow too bored stiff and in the end, screen the identity of this thriller helper.”
“So, there was a technique like that!”
Joh Myoung-Ki also began smiling as properly.
This become a terrific risk to sucker-punch the chronic White Tiger that dared to chase after the Hunters Guild.
The ends of Choi Jong-In’s lips arched up.
“call the newshounds right away.”
***
[You have entered a dungeon.]
As soon as he stepped foot within the dungeon, Jin-Woo took in a deep breath.
‘Hmm.’
After being ‘limited’ to an open-field type dungeon for some days, the air inside the cavern-kind dungeon felt new and clean.
Yu Jin-Ho followed him into the dungeon soon afterwards.
“Hyung-nim, i’m wondering simply what form of monsters might pop out on this dungeon.”
“Yeah, me too.”
‘i can experience their presence close by, though.’
indeed, they have been quite near, however they couldn’t spot any.
however, while Jin-Woo took one leap forward…
The floor of the cave began growing up here, there, and everywhere.
crumble…
Rumble….
Humanoid monsters with skins created from rocks regarded. Yu Jin-Ho speedy recalled their name.
“Hyung-nim, it’s the Stonemen.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
these b*stards were recognized to own the hardest outdoors out of all the monsters that regarded within lower ranked dungeons. common experience became to apply magic while one turned into to hunt down a Stoneman, but….
“hold this for me, will ya?”
Jin-Woo entrusted the cylindrical vinyl package deal to Yu Jin-Ho and walked closer to the monsters.
‘Heok!!’
Yu Jin-Ho flinched grandly, wondering that the content material was a weapon, but nothing mainly noteworthy passed off.
‘It wasn’t a weapon?’
in the meantime, Jin-Woo stood before the Stonemen and summoned each the ‘Baruka’s dagger’ and ‘Knight Killer’.
Slice!
within the blink of an eye, the top of the Stoneman in front of the percent rolled to the floor.
Jin-Woo checked out the ‘Baruka’s dagger’ and smiled in pride.
‘It’s quite properly.’
Then, all at once, the smiling Jin-Woo disappeared from the spot.
Tab.
just as Jin-Woo reappeared beyond the institution of the Stonemen, all ten-plus of them collapsed to the floor.
Rumble – crash!
‘My frame has gotten a step lighter and faster after the purple Gate aspect, hasn’t it?’
but, of course it would have.
His present day stage was 60. His degree had risen up via nine from 51 after killing all the ones Ice Bears and White Phantoms. And now, the rank C monsters felt like the ones Goblins from the rank E dungeon to him.
‘At this rate, I don’t even need to apply my guns.’
Now that he had warmed up properly….
‘ought to I boom the looking velocity, then?’
Time to summon his shadow squaddies.
With an remarkable timing, some other institution of Stonemen become slowly lumbering toward his role from the deeper a part of the cave.
‘Summon.’
As soon as he issued an order, the infantrymen restricted to Jin-Woo’s shadow swiftly found out themselves behind him.
And certain sufficient, there has been a noisy scream accompanying that, too.
“Uwaaaak!!”
Oopsie.
Jin-Woo facepalmed and turned round.
‘I forgot he turned into right here with me.’
He were given way too excited and absolutely forgot approximately Yu Jin-Ho for a second there.
“H-hyu-hyung-nim!!”
whilst plopped on his a*s, Yu Jin-Ho pointed his trembling finger on the shadow squaddies standing right in front of him.
“W-w-what are those??”
“It’s a chunk complicated to explain… well, it’s my talent.”
“You, you could summon these things as your, your s-skill?”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
Yu Jin-Ho’s jaw remained slack and didn’t need to close.
“Ahh…”
Him and hyung-nim had entered dungeons collectively 11 times already. He concept that he wouldn’t get bowled over anymore, but he become validated wrong all over again.
As anticipated, hyung-nim became an lifestyles that without problems surpassed one’s imagination.
Gulp.
Yu Jin-Ho laboriously swallowed his saliva as his eyes took on the black-armoured soldiers emitting a blood-chilling air of mystery.
in the meantime, Jin-Woo shifted his gaze away. The lumbering Stonemen had already arrived near their region.
Jin-Woo pointed at them along with his chin.
“go.”
as though they have been waiting for that, the soldiers silently rushed forward.
Rumble!!
The ground of the cave shook hard as the 40-ordinary armoured infantrymen all ran at the equal time. For sure, with the addition of Iron and the beast squaddies, the general weight of the institution had extended by means of plenty.
‘It’s like I’m looking at a fleet of tanks, isn’t it?’
Jin-Woo formed a completely happy expression.
What with the shadow soldiers sweeping via everything, the dungeon were given cleared inside the proverbial blink of an eye fixed.
The simplest things ultimate at the floor have been the scattered and broken bits of Stonemen that resembled cookies comprised of dust.
A rank C dungeon turned into destroyed right away at all, in different words.
“Hoh…”
Jin-Woo exclaimed in admiration.
‘At this charge, we’d get to mop up the relaxation of the raids quite fast, no?’
It regarded that the closing 8 raids would not take that lengthy to complete up.
As soon as the war ended, the shadow infantrymen retrieved the magic crystals and stood earlier than Jin-Woo in orderly columns. Igrit and Iron stood in front of them.
the two knights stepped to the front and knelt down.
once the infantrymen stopped moving, Yu Jin-Ho eventually sneaked in toward Jin-Woo’s side.
“Hyung-nim, here….”
He then back the mystery vinyl package again to Jin-Woo.
Jin-Woo wordlessly took out the tumbler contained with the vinyl percent and started out sucking at the straw.
“Hyung-nim, what’s that?”
“It’s veggie juice.”
“Oh….”
“I kinda like its taste, really.”
Slurp, slurp….
After he nearly completely drained the tumbler, Jin-Woo requested Yu Jin-Ho.
“whats up, Jin-Ho. what number of Gates did you ebook nowadays?”
Yu Jin-Ho become in the center of cautiously achieving out to the touch the fur of one of the beast soldiers, however he quick pulled his hand back and turned back to Jin-Woo.
“four Gates, hyung-nim.”
With four today, best five could stay. He didn’t see any motive to waste any more time on this.
“if so, allow’s finish up everything via the next day. It doesn’t count number if a Gate is a bit a long way away, anyway.”
“You suggest, the following day?”
Inexplicably, Yu Jin-Ho took a go searching him. Seeing all the damaged wreckage of Stonemen littering the ground, he couldn’t help but slowly nod his head.
‘For positive, with this type of velocity….’
“Understood, hyung-nim. via the manner….”
Yu Jin-Ho hesitated slightly, before commencing his mouth with some trouble.
“am i able to be the one to retrieve the magic stones?”
“….Why?”
“I’m kinda disillusioned because it appears like my role’s been stolen via these guys, hyung-nim.”
Jin-Woo burst out right into a soft snort.
‘Yup, this child without a doubt is a weird one.’
And an afternoon later….
Jin-Woo completed the nineteen raids he had promised Yu Jin-Ho.
