Leveling
Ch 123s

Video is played.

".."

Video footage of Raid that just happened on an island in a small country at the far end

east surprises David Brendan, director of 『Biro Hunter』.

"What do you think?"

The Deputy Director asked carefully.

The director gave an immediate answer.

"You came to me at this moment because you already know what I think and what

what I'm gonna do"

Thatvs right.

It is strange that the director and deputy director of 『Biro Hunter』 meet at 4:00 am,

and even the meeting place was the director's home kitchen.

There was silence between the two people sitting at the table.

That's pretty awful.

Director replayed the video while smoking.

The director's wife, who went down the stairs to the second floor looking for her husband,

called him by his nickname and when he saw the light on the first floor.

"David, are you okay?"

After David calmed her down, the director's wife turned back to the second floor

with a worried look.

When the third cigarette ran out, the director opened his mouth.

"It was a talent that was too precious for a small country like Korea"

"I agree"

"Have you investigated it?"

The deputy director issued a file containing information about Sung Jin Woo.

The director looked at the document with a satisfying smile.

"Good"

Related information came into his hands less than an hour after the Raid from the Island

the East end.

Isn't that great.

This is the strength of the U. S. Hunter Association, or perhaps the greatest in the world?

The vice-director smiled in his heart.

'I'm lucky'

U. S. intelligence is also an informational force, but this time he feels strongly

lucky because of a U. S. citizen.

The Sung Il Hwan case.

Someone who doesn't know if he's from a Dungeon or a human who is

a Korean Hunter, and the information gathered from him is still on 『Biro Hunter』.

Other countries, except Korea, don't even know the name of this Hunter, Sung Jin Woo,

and the U. S. is already two steps ahead for that.

God bless us.

Isn't this really heaven's help?

But one should not be happy with just a little luck.

Because you have to turn that little luck into an opportunity

if you want to enjoy it.

The vice director looked at the Director seriously, and said.

"He did not receive proper compensation despite his father's disappearance from Gates"

"Hm ..."

"In addition, before he experienced the Resurrection, he had several times almost

lost his life in the Dungeon to cover his mother's medical expenses"

"...that's impossible"

Is like this how Korea treats the dead hero's wife and son

in the battle inside Gates for the country?

It was unthinkable what would happen if something like that happened here in the United States.

"And this is unconfirmed information ..."

The director, who was examining the documents, raised his head.

The deputy director who waited then continued.

"He hasn't joined any guild yet"

"..."

And that speech continues to be echoed in the Director's head.

The director keeps the files on the table.

"It's different than when Hwang Dong-soo"

A familiar name was uttered by the Director who changed his view.

"I brought two S-Rank Hunters from one country ... It's the same as if

you're turning the whole thing back on the country"

Korea is a longtime ally of the United States.

And that means if an incident like this would cause an uproar.

But the deputy director spoke in a voice full of confidence.

"But .. isn't he worth it?"

".."

The director cannot deny it.

So instead of answering, he asked back.

"Can you do it?"

The deputy director gave the same answer as in the previous case.

"I'll try it"

In short, the deputy director is promoted to the hiring position.

And the man who was the second deputy director noticed the incident.

The United States had two of the strongest men in the previous world, but Hunter Sung, who

already known to have a power of the level of a country, making the Director want

recruited him and made him the third strongest person in the U. S. World.

The director spoke heavily with a fourth cigarette in his mouth.

"All the conditions he wants to meet just so we can bring him in"

***

Jin Woo flies along 『Kaiser』, looking for any ants missed by the team

Shadowless.

Aiiiiieeeh!

An ant fell again thanks to 'Dagger Throw'.

And Jin Woo can easily retract the dagger using the skill 『Rules Hand's』

without needing to get down from 『Kaiser』.

"It's time I level up"

Now there are only a few ants left.

And Jin Woo wants to raise his level using all the remaining ants.

If I raise one more level, I will reach 100 levels.

Jin Woo, who likes multiples of five, is at a fantastic level in his happiness.

There was no Gates I could enter for a moment after this, so after leaving

Jeju Island, there is no place for me to get EXP.

Well it was only as long as the key did not appear from the [Random Box] or the Dungeon did not

it's coming near me.

'Was it a little strange when expressing if a Dungeon Break

is luck?'

At least one member of the Raid team had to fail the Raid Dungeon Break this time.

And another reason.

It was due to a painful memory when He extracted Min Byung-Goo's shadow,

that made him become reminded of Baruka, the leader of the Ice Elves (Hyakki).

After three attempts, Jin Woo fails to turn him into Shadow Soldier's.

It was very heartbreaking just as he tried his skill for the first time.

"But why did I succeed in my second experiment?"

Would anyone be surprised if he turned into an adult?

When extracting the shadow of the Queen, there is no guarantee that it will not

it happened exactly the same as what happened to Baruka.

Well the ability of the monster is incomparable to the Hunter, Min Byung-Goo.

Therefore, in order to increase the chances of success even further, Jin Woo

wanting to raise his level first before extracting the Queen's shadow.

Even if it was a difference of one level, it would definitely be of great help.

'Huh?'

When Jin Woo found something, he immediately ordered 『Kaiser』 to land.

It's wild!

Jin Woo, who came down from his back, looked around.

"It's near here"

Jin Woo, who is rummaging through the bushes, is thrilled when he finds Hunter's corpse.

Behind the bushes were the scattered corpses of Japanese Hunters everywhere.

Some of the bodies were neatly killed, while others were badly damaged and difficult to identify.

Jin Woo examined the bodies.

'Where is strong ...'

It's very powerful.

These people don't have the ability to leave here.

But whoever comes and kills them all.

'Ah, That must be the King of Ants"

He can't think of anything else.

The first time Jin Woo was hit on the head by her, her jaw was already sore.

Other hunters will definitely have a hard time defending against him.

After looking bitterly around the area, Jin Woo stopped in one place.

'This feeling...'

Jin Woo leaned over and checked the floor.

The ground was wet with a lot of blood.

And there was a faint remnant of mana on the ground.

It was a wave of mana that he had felt before.

"Goto Ryuuji"

Jin Woo looked around.

Goto's magic power remains, but his body is nowhere to be found.

His body was probably already completely eaten by the ants.

Cih -

Jin Woo got up while clicking his tongue.

The Shadow Soldier's, who had just been sent to hunt down every corner of the island, reported

that they have defeated all the remaining ants.

Therefore, there were no more ants on this island that Jin Woo could feel.

'... does this finally end?'

If you were a citizen of the Republic of Korea, you would definitely receive a hundred thousand survivors

due to this achievement, but Jin Woo continues to feel disappointed.

He cannot raise his level.

And there are no more monters left, so Jin Woo is forced to go back to the anthill

and extract some ants and queen ants.

then

Jin Woo stopped walking.

'Wait ... Is there a monster left?'

There was still a row of mana streams on the inside.

And that's in huge numbers!

A smile appeared on Jin Woo's face, which became happy.

Jin Woo then climbed to the top of [Kaiser] with a bright expression.

"Let's go!"

***

As expected.

Deep inside the ant nest, Jin Woo's eyes glittered as he looked at the row of eggs

which seemed to have no end from the floor to the walls, holes, and ceiling of the cave.

And he became convinced that all of these eggs were alive because there was a vague movement

every few moments.

"How much EXP am I going to get out of all this?"

Well, this amount will definitely satisfy my lack of EXP to level up.

Jin Woo then calls the Shadow Soldier's who specializes in long-range attacks.

sets -

『Tusk』 and three Shadow Mage stand side by side according to rank order.

Jin Woo then gives 『Marble of Greeds』 to the hands of 『Tusk』 and stares fourth

Shadow Mage's.

"You know what to do, right?"

Mage Shadow nodded in unison.

Then, Jin Woo pointed towards the eggs of the ant.

fire

Then a terrifying fire came out from the mouth of the giant, and Mage Shadow threw

big fireball here and there.

Koaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Booms!

The peng!

The eggs, which do not have the ability to fight, are burned in a short time.

Kie-e-!

Jin Woo looked closely at the ant egg in one corner, apparently it was not an egg.

It's a cocoon.

When the cocoon's skin melted, the body inside looked exactly like a Mutant Ant

mature before.

And they all have wings.

"If these mutant monsters cross the ocean along with the ant monsters ..."

If Korea fails to kill the Queen, Korea and Japan are not certain to suffer much damage.

However, it is fortunate that it can be prevented.

Bang out!

Bang out!

Seeing the sweat on his body, Jin Woo took out 『Devil King's Long Sword』

its storage.

It was a beautiful long sword with a blue light that radiated every time it was moved,

and the lightning that is visible on the blade.

One of the reasons why Jin Woo took out the sword was because of him until then

it does not always use a dagger as its main weapon.

Huu huu!

Let's swing this long sword as hard as I can.

Whooooosh -

Lightning flashes and blue light appeared.

"Oh!"

Jin Woo smiled.

There were no more annoying effects like the time when the Demon King used it,

but it was enough to burn the eggs.

He was so eager to slash those eggs, and he finally heard

a 'mechanical' sounding good.

[Level-up!]

'Finally!'

Jin Woo cheered in his heart.

Jin Woo immediately returned to return 『Devil King's Long Sword』 to storage, the,

leave the open for the soldiers, and he heads to the Queen's room.

Inside, there was a huge monster that was dead, that was the Queen.

Jin Woo stood in front of her.

His heart started beating fast, probably because he wanted to make the Queen an ant

becoming the Shadow Soldier's.

But - but

While extracting Hunter's previous shadow, Jin Woo realizes how important it is

the power of concentration in it.

"I need to calm down"

Jin Woo's eyes immediately softened and his breathing became more stable.

"...yes"

He's in the best condition.

Jin Woo looked down.

Inside the corpses of monster ants, thick, gloomy, and ominous smoke that was not

being seen by others appears powerful.

'Isn't this because the mana is too strong to be difficult to compare?'

Thinking like that, Jin Woo calmly approached the black smoke, and.

"Rise"
