Episode 203
Suho left for Jeju Island right away.
This time, Bae Dong-hyeok and Kim Yi-kang were not present.
It was what Suho requested.
Suho, who took the fastest flight from Gimpo Airport, was able to arrive at Jeju Airport shortly thereafter.
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Jeju Island.’
I should have come to Jeju Island someday, but I never thought it would be now.
In fact, it might be a good thing.
According to Suho’s memories, there were a lot of things you could find in Jeju Island if you just tried.
‘And there happens to be a sealed gate here too.’
After going around and attacking the Seal Gate for a while, there are only a few Seal Gates left in the country.
One of them is Jeju Island, and the reason the Jeju Island gate was not processed was simply because it was too far away.
But since I happened to be in Jeju Island, I thought I would perform a ritual while I was at it and also destroy the sealed gate here.
Suho went to the bathroom and used his reverse magic to change his face.
Then I went out to the departure lounge and called the Jeju Island manager of Nexus that I had received from Kim Ik-kang.
– hello?
“I am the person requested by Representative Bae. Where are you?”
– Ah, here it is!
In response to Suho’s question, Jeju Island official Ahn Hyeon-do, who was standing at the departure lounge, raises his hand.
Suho met Ahn Hyun-do and shook hands with him.
“My name is Kim Soo-ho. I am a mercenary hired by Representative Bae.”
“My name is Ahn Hyeon-do. I will be in charge of taking care of you while you are in Jeju Island, including the gate conquest. If you haven’t eaten yet, would you like to eat before you leave?”
“No, that’s fine. Let’s go right away.”
“Then I will guide you by car right away.”
For this strategy, I worked out the concept with Kim Ik-kang in advance.
Today’s concept is an external mercenary who received a request for a strategy from CEO Bae Dong-hyeok.
Now that I am a public official, it was an inevitable measure to hide my identity.
Suho got into the car that Ahn Hyun-do had prepared and headed to the Nexus’ sealed gate.
An Hyeon-do explained while moving.
“Have you heard anything about the gate?”
“I only heard that it is in Seopjikoji.”
“Yes, as you heard, the gate we won the bid for is located in Seopjikoji, so we call it Seopjikoji Gate. Excuse me, Hunter, what is your class?”
“The main class is the inspector.”
“Inspector… … .”
An Hyun-do furrows his brows at the word ‘inspector.’
Suho asked about his reaction.
“Why are you like that?”
“I’m just a little worried. Of course, the CEO trusted you completely and entrusted you with the task, but the main monsters at the Seopjikoji Gate you’re going to now are golems.”
“Golem… … Oh, is that a basalt golem?”
“Yes, that’s right. How do you know?”
At the mention of Golem, Suho could immediately recall what kind of place Seopjikoji Gate was.
‘Seopjikoji, it feels somehow familiar.’
The Nexus of the previous life eventually fails to conquer the Seopjikoji Gate and ends up going through the Seal Gate procedure.
And that Seopjikoji Gate was conquered by another guild, so Suho couldn’t immediately think of it because it wasn’t a place he conquered directly.
‘If this is the place I know, then it’ll be easier to conquer than I thought.’
And then it occurred to me that maybe I could get it.
Suho answered.
“I think I heard it vaguely from the representative.”
“I see. Then I will explain the things you need to be careful of at the Seopjikoji Gate.”
Suho received briefings about the Seopjikoji Gate from Ahn Hyun-do throughout the move.
And the more I listened to his briefing, the more convinced I became.
I think there will be more to gain from this Seopjikoji Gate than you might think.
Soon, the vehicle entered Seopjikoji, and at the entrance, Nexus Guild members were controlling Seopjikoji.
“That’s the Seopjikoji Gate Portal.”
Suho got out of the car and looked in the direction Ahn Hyundo was pointing.
The Gate Portal was created at the site of a lighthouse at the edge of a coastal cliff, but due to the aftermath of the Gate Shock, the lighthouse and art gallery, once symbols of Seopjikoji, were left in a destroyed state.
‘Tsk tsk, how much is all that?’
Restoration costs more than building new.
Suho clicked his tongue and approached the gate portal.
Then, the guild members managing the area near the portal stood guard to block the guard.
“who?”
“Ah, this person is a mercenary personally invited by the CEO.”
“ah…….”
Only then do the guild members open their mouths and nod at Ahn Hyun-do’s introduction.
But unlike the nodding heads, their eyes scanned Suho from head to toe, and there was not much faith in those eyes.
Suho said.
“Now that you’re done scanning, could you please step aside?”
“Oh, yes.”

“Then I’ll see you later.”
It was the moment when Suho lightly nodded and stepped into the portal.
[ Enter the gate . ]
[ Loading gate information ]
[ Howling Cliff ]
– Entry conditions: Level 130 or higher, level 160 or lower, 2 or more red stats.
– Maximum number of people: 11.
The Howling Cliff.
That was the real name of Seopjikoji Gate.
[ Enter the Howling Cliff . ]
Rising notifications.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery changed.
Krrrr!
The first thing that changed in the scenery was that the once clear and blue sky had turned gray.
The sky was roaring as if it would pour down rain at any moment, and the once calm sea was also spitting out rough waves.
“The terrain hasn’t changed.”
It was literal.
Only the people around the place where Suho had stood had disappeared, and the terrain itself was the same as that of Seopjikoji.
Of course, the lighthouse and art gallery have completely disappeared.
As if such a thing never existed in the first place.
That was when.
“Eww!”
“Save me!”
Scream.
Suho turned his head in the direction of the scream.
Then, down by the shore, small, black things the size of kindergarteners were being chased by huge, black things.
The identity of the huge, black thing was the basalt golem, the main monster here.
– Fallen Rock Golem Lv. 149
Of course, his real name wasn’t Basalt Golem.
The guy’s real name is Corrupted Rock Golem.
The guy was about 2 meters tall, and his body circumference seemed to be about the same.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the fallen rock golem moves, the entire coast seems to shake.
Although it had a small build for an average golem, it was proof that what it contained was substantial despite its small size.
And there are kids the size of kindergarteners being chased by the guy.
They were the so-called ‘rock fairies’, the indigenous people of this Seopjikoji Gate.
‘I thought it was set that if a rock golem destroys a rock fairy, both the rock golem and the boss monster will become stronger?’
Looking around, I see screams and a never-ending chase between dark golems and rock fairies.
So, the point of attacking the Seopjikoji Gate could be said to be simply a speed battle.
Suho nodded and thought.
‘It’s definitely going to be difficult. The maximum number of people allowed is 11, but there are dozens or even hundreds of dark golems and rock fairies scattered everywhere.’
If he had been a guardian in his previous life, he would have tried to conquer it somehow through a joint attack like the other hunters of Nexus.
But the current guardian is different from his previous life in many ways.
Suho summoned the blood sword and held it in his hand.
Then I activated one more skill.
[ Military technique is activated . ]
The skill used is military tactics.
As the skill was activated, Suho’s new form began to increase.
It wasn’t just one or two that increased.
Suho did not stop expanding his military skills.
Although his magical power was depleted at a rapid rate, Suho stopped using his skills only after increasing his number of new forms to 30.
“after.”
It’s my first time increasing this much at once, but I think it’s doable.
The guardian who had stopped expanding gave orders to the clone soldiers.
“Sweep it away.”
Then, the clone soldiers who received the order scattered in all directions and started swinging their swords.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
The sound of rocks breaking can be heard everywhere.
What if the number of fallen rock golems is in the tens or hundreds?
Then I can increase the number accordingly.
There is no need to match the number of golems.
If there is a level difference, it is easy to have four or five enemies per two.
Suho placed the blood sword on his shoulder and slowly moved towards the end of Seopjikoji.
[ Level up . ]
[ All stats increased by 1 . ]
[ You have acquired 1 bonus stat . ]
While moving, one level was raised.
It’s so comfortable.
I guess that’s why everyone uses auto hunting.
Suho slowly walked forward as if taking a walk.
And as we got closer to the end of Seopjikoji, the number of corrupted rock golems also began to increase rapidly.
“Yeah, if things go on like this, I’ll probably meet your captain too soon. Right?”
But what is that?
Suho slowly took the sword off his shoulder and held it in his hand.
Then he started swinging his sword directly at the guys who were rushing to block the guardian from the range of the clone soldier.
[ Steel Cutter is activated . ]
Crunch!
My swordsmanship can even cut through steel.
But is it really that big of a problem for you guys whose bodies are made of rock?
Suho advanced, cutting through the boulders rushing at him like he was cutting tofu.
Then, along the path that Suho was taking, pitch-black garden stones began to be laid out like a virgin road.
It was thanks to the rock golems that charged in without knowing.
As I continued on like that for a while, I finally reached the end of Seopjikoji and a welcome message appeared before my eyes.
[You have entered the boss room.]
Room?
Is there a room here?
I just entered a certain area, but the system declared it to be the boss room.
okay.
If that’s the system, then that’s the way it is.
At that moment, Soo-ho’s vision began to change rapidly.
“So that’s why it was called a room.”
A rapidly changing view.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery changed.
It was the same terrain as when I first entered the gate, but the people around it had been removed.
That was when.
[ A boss monster appears . ]
A notification pops up in front of your eyes.
At the same time.
Kwarrung!!
The sky, which had been gray all along, finally began to pour down rain accompanied by loud thunder.
The rough waves turned into angry monsters that kept hitting the ground, destroying my body, and at the very end of Seopjikoji, the owner of the gate finally began to reveal himself.
Dddd …
The guy created his own body out of sand, like the villain from some old superhero movie.
However, the difference between this villain and the villain in that hero movie is that while that villain made his body out of sand, the guy in front of us made his body out of pitch-black rock dust.
The guy who gathered the stone dust and raised his body created a body twice as large as the fallen rock golem.
– Fallen Cliff Golem Lv.161
The owner of Seopjikoji Gate.
The owner’s name was Cliff Golem.
It has a large, pitch-black body, but what sets it apart from other rock golems is that its body is made of stone dust, giving it a very dense body structure.
And that he had his own head attached to his chest.
And then, the guy opened his eyes.
Flash!
When the guy opens his eyes, a distinctive red glow comes out.
The cliff golem with its eyes open clapped its hands toward Suho.
match!
Okay then.
Kugugugugu!!
The moment the guy clapped his hands, a pair of giant palms began to rush towards Suho from both black shores.
