Chapter 741
– Damn it. he’s dead
I hoped
The anxiety I felt at that short word that came through the phone was exactly right.
– I’m sorry, but I have to come right away. Any more clues before this case leaves our hands… … .
“Where is it?”
There was no time for hesitation.
We moved as quickly as possible, following the coordinates given by Magic Johnson, and after several long-distance teleport attempts in succession, we arrived at a snowy mountain covered in pure white.
Sabak.
The ice caps that fell on the ground crumbled at the tip of my feet.
The magnificent view of the Alps, which I had only seen on the Internet, was spread out in front of me, but there was no time to appreciate the scenery.
which… …
“Intruder found!”
The same was true of a group of people who were guarding the neighborhood.
“Stop, stop!”
“Ready to shoot!”
Every single thing!
Guns and blades pointed at us at the same time as urgent shouts.
The moment I stopped at the seemingly well-armed soldiers and hunters, I heard a familiar voice between them.
“If you dare to attack, I won’t stop you, but
Before that, it would be to your advantage to check the faces of those intruders first.”
“If you move even one step, you will be killed immediately… … Mr. Johnson?”
“Don’t act rashly, Colonel. These are the guests I invited.”
A tall black man passed by a middle-aged commander in a beret and stood in front of us.
A face covered with tiredness and sadness.
weeks. No, Magic Johnson, whom he had met for the first time in several months, said hello with a weak smile.
“Long time no see, friends. how have you been doing?”
I sighed bitterly and held his outstretched hand tightly.
“Not at all.”
“People outside, who are they? The soldiers and hunters were mixed half and half.”
“It’s the Swiss Federal Police. This area is under their jurisdiction, and I contacted them because I wanted to avoid being framed as a murder suspect just because I first discovered the body. Follow me.”
Me, team leader Choi, and the Skeleton King followed Magic Johnson.
Passing between the soldiers and hunters watching us with half anxiety and half red eyes, and entering the snowy forest, I felt a very vague sense of déjà vu.
‘This.’
I closed my eyes and focused. As I slowly stretched out my hand, I could feel an invisible ripple through the fierce snowstorm.
“Mana?”
Hearing my murmur, Magic Johnson nodded.
“It’s a barrier. It’s so secret that even the average S-class hunter won’t notice, and it’s that perfect.”
His explanation was true without any exaggeration.
It was to the extent that even the Skeleton King realized the existence of the barrier only after hearing those words.
“It’s pretty good for a human skill. However, it is not enough to deceive the sharp gaze of this body. because I’m
Not just an S-class Hunter, but a very outstanding… …
“It’s a monster.”
The sullen Skeleton King shut his mouth.
In a word, I made him quiet and looked at the barrier spread out in front of me, recalling not so long ago memories.
‘It looks like it.’
Just as any kind of martial arts leaves a specific mark, so did magic.
I was convinced as I saw the clear flow of mana like a fingerprint.
‘It must be. It’s that feeling in Area A.’
As if reading the thoughts that came to my mind at the moment, Magic Johnson met my gaze and opened his mouth.
“Even before this incident, I was looking for people related to Area A at your request. But of all the people I know, there is only one person that comes to mind.”
Who is he, the great master mage and the designer of Area A, now I
one knew
And also the fact that he had already announced his retirement over ten years ago and disappeared from public view.
“I didn’t expect you to stay in a place like this, but were you in contact with him?”
“at all. He was so eccentric and with a closed personality.”
After answering Choi’s question, Magic Johnson added a word.
“But he was a friend. He can give you at least a hint of the hideout where he will be staying someday.”
Suaaa.
Mana mixed with mana, and the blizzard stopped with a white flash.
No, the surrounding scenery has changed.
From the wide snowfield to the long and huge cave like a maze.
“follow me. Magic, including space movement, cannot be manifested in this place.”
We chatted as we moved along with Magic Johnson.
And, of course, it would be natural, but the current situation is related to Magic Johnson.
The crab was also not going smoothly.
“You guys have seen the news, so you know, but… … Our side got the LA branch. Even though it is located on the outskirts of the city, it was not possible to prevent casualties due to the large floating population around it.”
Magic Johnson is a great mage and at the same time the owner of the giant guild, the Wizard.

Although it had already been pushed out of the evaluation rankings a few years ago, the wizard guild was one of the world’s top 10 guilds in the past, albeit a bad one.
However, many wizards belong to
Neither the Wizard Guild nor the Magic Johnson could prevent the planned terror that took place like lightning.
“It was already late when I arrived. After that, I was busy taking care of other things.”
I didn’t bother to ask why he was so busy.
After all, everyone here knew why.
Subjugation of Middle Eastern terrorists and African rebel groups, known as the so-called ‘vigilante case’.
The cause and medium of this terror
The incident drew criticism from the public, and Magic Johnson, who was one of the vigilantes, was not free from the criticism.
No, everyone is the same.
It’s just that I was the one who was hit with the biggest and strongest hammer the press wielded.
“I’m sorry.”
” what?”
“I feel like I should at least apologize. If I hadn’t come forward and made such a suggestion, the world would be reviled like now… …
“Shit. What were you talking about?”
Magic Johnson suddenly stopped and shook his head.
“Hey, Jean. It’s not your fault. It’s not something to apologize to me either. okay?”
“Of course.”
“Let me ask you one thing. If you could go back then, what would you choose? Would you have left them alone?”
The worry didn’t last long.
It was a problem that I thought about over and over again in a room where there was no light.
“Not at all.”
“Are there two of you?”
Team leader Choi and the Skeleton King faced each other and opened their mouths almost at the same time.
“Nothing changes. I wonder if I should have tried to handle it more clearly.”
“This body will surely kill and eliminate the prophet.”
“Okay, that’s a clear answer.”
Magic Johnson shrugged at the two different but identical answers.
“And this is just in case you’re an old woman
I mean, no matter what people say about it, I don’t regret it in the slightest. Neither does Chuck Hagel, even though he’s not here right now.”
It’s Chuck Heigl.
The image of him beating down terrorists while suffering from cigar withdrawal symptoms is good in front of my eyes.
According to the words of team leader Choi, who briefly overheard on the way, he said that he was also experiencing quite a bit of trouble.
“How’s Chuck doing these days?”
“not good.”
“I think you answered too quickly.”
“Because it is true. That’s how much external pressure comes in from inside and outside. At this momentum, it would not be strange if he was dismissed from the position of Secretary of State shortly after.”
Team leader Choi received the words in a calm voice.
“It seems the pressure is so strong that even the president can’t stop it.”
“The matter is different with you. Chuck Hagel is a high-ranking official in a country, even the Secretary of State of the United States. Even if our actions were something the President condoned, when they went undetected
It’s a story.”
“But it turns out to the whole world. That too, directly by a rare terrorist called the Prophet.”
“… … okay. Thanks to some F*cking traitor.”
This was done under the connivance of the President of the United States.
So, originally, the mission as a ‘vigilante’ should not be known to the world.
The reason why I was able to act so boldly in the present age where many restrictions exist is because of that belief.
Because.
Disruption of satellite surveillance systems and destruction of all related data.
But information about us leaked out blatantly, and I remembered clearly what Michael Silbert had said over the ruins of Paris.
— Let me give you one piece of advice. There are no perfect secrets in this world. Even if it’s the Pentagon.
The United States is still the world’s most powerful country, and the Pentagon is the Department of Defense building that boasts the most iron-clad security in the United States.
However, matters that should have been treated as top secret even inside the Pentagon were leaked to the outside.
That too easily.
but… … .
‘There’s nothing strange about him.’
I was accepting reality surprisingly calmly.
My opponent is Michael Silbert. He’s stronger than any hunter I’ve ever met, and he’s even more crazy than that.
In addition to that, an unidentified madman called a prophet.
‘A normal person. No, it’s something that humans can’t even try.’
Even evil has a degree.
In that sense, the steps they show have already crossed the line.
More than a thousand people have already died, and more than ten times that number have been injured.
Although not all the crimes committed around the world during the week, including the day the Paris branch collapsed, were not their fault, it was clear that they had a significant impact.
Because fear paralyzes reason and brings another madness.
Along with the 10 terror attacks accompanied by the monster wave, the magic power distribution increased even more steeply, and now the mutation gate phenomenon was occurring dozens of times a day.
Some frightened people have already uttered the word “end of time.”
Carrying a cross on his waist and holding a microphone, he shouts God’s mercy in the streets.
A long time ago, their parents
like you did
But I’m not looking for God
They are mere humans, not demons, and I was prepared to defeat them.
If there’s just one problem… … .
‘It means that the thread connected to one of them was cut in vain.’
With a tingle in my heart, I stopped walking.
Before I knew it, the passage of the cave, which was long and winding like a snake, came to an end.
and waiting for us at the end
What was there was the body of one person.
A corpse whose bones and skin have dried and shrunk like a mummy.
“… … what is this?”
The moment Team Leader Choi’s voice, like a moan, reached my ears.
belt ring.
– A new quest has been created!
The clear bell rang more ominously than ever before.
