Screech

A black sedan stopped on the side of the road.

A man wearing sunglasses and a black suit got out of the car.

He is the Chairman of the Hunter Surveillance Department (HSD), Woo Jincheol.

Following him, there were three other HSD Hunters also getting off the car.

"Chairman, why are we stopping here? Aren't we going straight to the Association?"

"I just have something I want to check"

Woo Jincheol turned to Gates in the distance.

"No matter how many times I see it, Gates Rank-A is still a terrible thing"

The HSD chief furrowed his brows.

If the giant hole opens and releases the monster that is in it ... Even

just imagining it made the Rank-A Hunter tremble.

"So why did the man volunteer as a miner in such a scary place?"

And not just for one day but two days.

Even if the President of the Go Gunhee Association did not ask him personally, Woo Jincheol

will try to find out for yourself.

"We can't ... investigate it behind his back"

"He" is Hunter Rank-S.

It was impossible for a Rank-A like Woo Jincheol to secretly investigate

Hunter Rank-S without being discovered.

Thus, the chairman of HSD has decided to come out boldly to

check out what Jin Woo is doing.

Since HSD has other jobs nearby, he thinks of using excuses

that he had just passed by and wanted to give his greetings.

"That wouldn't be considered too weird, would it?"

If a Hunter who is confirmed as Rank-S is doing the job

digging the ground, anyone would be curious.

In addition, Sung Jin Woo is someone who gets the attention of the Hunter Association, the,

especially the president of the association.

The president of the association must have been very fond of the man; recently, Woo Jincheol noticed

that Go Gunhee had raised her eyes and ears whenever Jin Woo was mentioned.

"No, if anything, that freak ain't me"

His curiosity was obvious, and asked a few questions out of curiosity

know it's normal.

With that in mind, Woo Jincheol approached an employee of the Hunters Guild.

"Hello, I'm looking for a team of miners"

"Sorry .. But who are you?"

"I'm from the Association."

After confirming Woo Jincheol's identity, the employee pointed to the spot

the team of miners on standby.

"You can find it there."

"Thank you."

The four HSD Hunters went to the miners' team.

Upon hearing that HSD was coming, Team Chief Bae came out running, and,

"Geez, to think that Hunter-nims from the Association will visit us today.

What can we help you with?"

After resting comfortably a moment ago, the mining team was now

looks jumpy.

For Hunters, "HSD" is a rather threatening word to hear.

After all, HSD Hunters are people who deal with Risen Beings

which cannot be controlled by the law and law enforcement of society.

They will arrest, imprison and sometimes eliminate the criminal.

And now, this HSD Hunter is standing in front of them.

"What's that?"

"HSD is here."

"Why HSD ...?"

Something's gonna happen.

Curiously, the miners gathered next to Team Leader Bae.

Woo Jincheol took off his sunglasses.

‘...’

Rank-A was looking for Sung Jin Woo's face.

When he didn't find it, he decided to ask the team leader,

"Where is Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim?"

"I know it!"

Suddenly, a man broke through the miners.

It was that man who tried to bully Sung Jin Woo yesterday, Lee Sanggu.

The man had previously spat on the ground and left with a harsh word, saying,

"The bastard turned around and looked at me with a smile! I swear, the eyes looked

like they could swallow someone! Damn, even thinking about it now makes me

trembling”

Woo Jincheol's eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, though,

"His eyes look like they can swallow someone?"

What the hell's going on?

The miners started whispering amongst themselves.

Woo Jincheol ignored them and asked Lee Sangggu,

"Did something happen?"

"Oh that…"

As the miner was about to reply, he realized that he was the one who tried to bully Jin Woo.

He quickly waved his hand, though,

"That's not important.I'm just saying, the guy's eyes are too scary"

"..."

Woo Jincheol turned to Team Leader Bae again,

"Where is Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim now?"

"Er ... Sung-ssi's in the Gates now"

Sung Jin Woo enters Gates Rank-A while the Raid is in progress?

The eyes of the HSD head grow wide.

"Why is Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim in the Dungeon?"

"Yes, the attacking team's porter didn't come today.Sung-ssi is the only one who

volunteered to go to the Dungeon as their porter. ”

"..."

"You know, this is weird"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, that's okay other than ... just now, Hunter Cha-nim, I mean, Hunter Cha Haein-nim too

looking for Sung-ssi.When he heard that he had entered the Gates, he also entered.

I just thought it was weird ... "

Team Leader Bae tilted his head.

When she hears the man's words, Woo Jincheol's mind begins to change in panic.

‘Deputy Guild Hunters looking for Sung Jin Woo? And he actually followed her into the Dungeon? "

What the hell is going on?

Woo Jincheol only came here to greet Sung Jin Woo, but it seems

something's out of its way here.

"First, let's go check out the Gates"

As a HSD member, that's what they can do the most.

"We'll check the Gates"

"Ah, understood"

When Woo Jincheol turns to leave with his subordinates, Lee Sunggu suddenly turns to

stop them and talk, please,

"Er, Hunter-nim!"

The faces of miners were filled with anticipation and excitement, the,

“That's west, Sung Jin Woo or something.Was he doing something bad?

Like killing a man? He seems like that type"

Woo Jincheol scrunched his face.

Suddenly, he realized why Sung Jin Woo was glaring at this man.

"You'll die if Sung Jin Woo sneezes at you ..."

Still, there are too many eyes here.

Representatives of the Association could not just berate her or show her anger

the ordinary Hunter.

At times like these, Woo Jincheol disliked his status in the organization.

The HSD chief did his best to speak calmly as much as possible,

"You'll find out the news tomorrow afternoon"

As if that was the answer he was looking for, Lee Sanggu looked satisfied and justified, though,

"You got it? What the hell am I saying? That motherfucker is very suspicious! ”

"He didn't look like that to me ..."

“Yes, like a good worker.Crains"

Lee Sanggu ignores the lukewarm response from his teammates and

raised his nose high on the idea that he was right all along.

Enough with the pitiful guy, Woo Jincheol took his subordinates and left

towards Gates.

________________________________________

Woo Jincheol instinctively stopped a few steps ahead of Gates.

"Chairman?"

Hunter HSD looked at Woo Jincheol in confusion.

The man's face froze.

"What the fuck .. This is impossible."

Woo Jincheol took out his phone and retrieved Gates Rank-A's information.

He was surprised by what he read,

"Why is her magic power so low?"

He shook his head, though,

"The gauge's dead"

Not all Rank-A Hunters are the same.

Woo Jincheol is in the upper echelon of Hunter Rank-A.

And his skillful senses told him: this measurement of Gates' magic power is wrong.

He quickly turned to his side and gave the order,

"Magic power meter, now!"

Reading his mood, a subordinate quickly ran to the car and returned

by carrying the device.

The mini measuring instruments used by HSD have different classes than those used

by ordinary employees of the Association.

As expected of a device made with a magic core worth a billion won,

it rarely results in incorrect measurements.

beeps

Measurement complete.

'I'm right…'

The results were very different from the measurements taken by normal Association employees.

If a Guild relied on the preliminary data from the Association in planning their raiding, that was

it will end in disaster.

"It shouldn't be a problem right now since the two S-rankers are there but ..."

Woo Jincheol grabs to pick up the measuring device when suddenly, a,

wooong

The Gates were vibrating with a strong vibration; it was not the same phenomenon as

closing Gates.

It was caused by a powerful wave of magic power being released from within.

Putting aside the highly skilled Woo Jincheol, even the weaker senses

from his subordinates was able to detect that powerful wave.

Each one of them gasped and trembled as they felt it,

"K-Chairman?"

"What's this?"

Woo Jincheol looked at the pale youngest member,

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, sir."

After answering, the man carefully looked at the back of his hand.

It was filled with goosebumps.

Woo Jincheol got up from the ground.

"We're going in."

"Master?"

"You want to go in there?"

Woo Jincheol continued, saying,

"Those who are afraid can stay behind."

The only one who knew the measurement was wrong was the HSD Hunter that was there.

They had to pass this information to the Hunter that was inside.

In addition to managing and monitoring the Hunter, was the Association's first and foremost task

to help Hunter.

"T-no. I'm gonna go."

"Let's go together."

Woo Jincheol nodded then turned to the youngest employee,

"You, stay here and report this to the Association."

"T-mister?"

"You can do it, right?"

Woo Jincheol patted him on the shoulder, and the youngest employee nodded with great difficulty,

"Yes, I'll do it."

The HSD chairman went back to front Gates.

On top of what they felt just now, waves of magic power were even stronger

it flows out of the Gates.

"What's going on there?"

With Woo Jincheol in the lead, three HSD Hunters entered the Gates.

A moment ago.

Cha Haein was tracking the steps of the Raid group within the Dungeon.

'Why are there no monsters? "

If it was an ordinary Dungeon, there would definitely be a monster corpse from the entrance all the way to the boss room.

However, he did not find such a corpse.

Are all the monsters gathered in one place or something?

While moving with it in mind,

'Huh?'

He finally found the monster's corpse.

step, step, step

As a Hunter Rank-S Class Fighter, he could reach battle locations within

blink eye.

'My Lord!'

Eyes widened.

His body is a High Orc.

High Orcs are easily distinguished from ordinary orcs because of their red skin and long fangs.

"How can Son Gihoon-ssi's team win against this many High Orcs?"

Not only that, it seemed like there were no casualties among the Hunters.

If anything, the attacking party would definitely retreat from the Dungeon.

"Am I looking down on Hunter Rank-A and Rank-B too much?"

Possibly ... Looking at the battlefield, it looked like an ordinary clash between Hunters

and monster-wait.

'What is this…?'

Cha Haein lowered her body to take a closer look at something she noticed.

His eyes were wider open.

Rise up, he went from corpse to corpse.

'Here ... and here ... also here ...'

His suspicions quickly turned to confirmation.

'How…?'

Is this possible?

Almost every corpse of a High Orc had injuries caused by small, sharp weapons.

"Not fatal enough, but ..."

It would be more than enough to weaken the combat prowess of the High Orcs, and it was

obviously done by one Hunter.

In the end, all other Hunters have to do is finish off the prey

badly injured.

In reality, it was the same as a single Hunter that massacred twenty High Orcs.

Moreover, he saw two High Orcs dying in different ways.

One of them was beheaded by a powerful force and the other

killed by blunt trauma to the head.

"In addition to these two, one had single-handedly injured the High Orc so the other Hunter

can beat them easily"

Is that possible?

Even though she was proud of her speed, Cha Haein was not sure she could do it

something like that.

And to his knowledge, there was no Hunter Class Assassin holding a dagger in Son Gihoon's team.

'Strike daggers?'

Suddenly, a memory flashed through his head.

The man who was standing in front of the boss room yesterday.

Sung Jin Woo was clearly holding some kind of small weapon in both of his hands.

"Is that the guy?"

When he reached that line of thought, the head of Rank-S turned sharply to the interior of the Dungeon.

Somewhere from deep within the Dungeon, waves, no, tsunami magic power are

he had never experienced before flowing out.

The woman's face darkened.

The air itself trembled due to the magic power that appeared.

'Oh no!'

Cha Haein bit her lips and ran as hard as she could towards the boss room.

If this was the boss' magic power, Son Gihoon's team would be annihilated.
