Episode 316
A few days later, the purification and unification operation finally began.
Broadcasting stations and various internet broadcasting stations were busy broadcasting the implementation of the purification unification operation, and people not only in Korea but also abroad were paying great attention to Korea’s northward advance.
It was a great sight.
Because the sight of the hunters advancing north was like seeing generals from the old days going to unify the country.
During the event, there was a presidential speech, congratulatory remarks from celebrities, and congratulatory performances from singers.
But of course, the one who received the most attention was Suho.
On the screen that was being broadcast, people kept searching for Su-ho’s whereabouts.
– Where is the swordsman?
– Where is An Su-ho?
– Where are you, sir?
But Suho was nowhere to be seen.
All you can see are large hunter players representing each guild and alliance.
That’s understandable, because at the time the purification and unification operation was implemented, Su-ho was alone in North Korea.
[ You have defeated the oppressive chain link . ]
[The gate has been breached.]
[The MVP of the gate strategy is ‘An Su-ho’.]
[ Additional experience points are provided upon selection as MVP . ]
[ 1 bonus stat is provided upon selection as MVP . ]
“hmm.”
While the Northern Expedition was in full swing, Suho infiltrated Pyongyang alone and was making a round of the Iron Horse Gate.
Suho frowned as he looked at the notifications that appeared before his eyes.
‘Now that I’m at level 200, clearing a 1-star gate doesn’t raise my level.’
Once you reach level 200, you will no longer be required to gain one level by clearing level 100 gates.
That was really a shame.
I’ve been leveling up steadily by taking advantage of the fact that clearing a gate unconditionally raises your level by one.
Still, the Iron Horse Gate had to be conquered.
Because I had no choice but to see the hidden options of the sealed iron horse without leveling up.
Suho thought as he checked the time.
‘We must be slowly entering North Korea by now.’
I’ve been focusing hard on work these past few days so I’ve made sure not to touch anything else.
I’ve properly divided up the work and set it up so that things can run smoothly even without Suho.
The areas were also divided well among the participating guilds.
For reference, among the guilds that participated in this purification and unification operation, only three participated independently: Hexagon, Prime, and Nexus. The remaining small and medium-sized guilds formed temporary consortiums named after their regions.
Gyeonggi, Incheon, Gangwon, Jeolla, Chungcheong, Daegu, and Busan. In seven places.
It was Suho’s idea to divide the consortium by region.
This is because it is easier to manage and settle accounts later when the operation is over.
‘Now all I have to do is do well.’
When the remaining guilds come forward, he prepares for the Yalu River Gate by attacking the key gates of the major strongholds that he has marked in advance.
‘We’ve conquered Gaeseong and Geumgangsan, so now all that’s left are Pyongyang, Sinuiju, Hamheung, Rason, and Baekdusan.’
Among them, Suho chose Pyongyang first.
Because Pyongyang was the most important element in the Yalu River Gate.
Suho, who broke the chains of the iron horse, heads straight to the next iron horse gate.

[ You have defeated the oppressive chain link . ]
[The gate has been breached.]
[The MVP of the gate strategy is ‘An Su-ho’.]
[ Additional experience points are provided upon selection as MVP . ]
[ 1 bonus stat is provided upon selection as MVP . ]
[ Level up . ]
[ All stats increased by 1 . ]
[ You have acquired 1 bonus stat . ]
Another attack.
Suho broke the iron horse’s chains again and only then straightened his back.
“Check the status window.”
[ An Su-ho ]

We attacked every subway station in Pyongyang.
But in return, all you get is 3 levels and a few chain pieces.
Suho shook his head at the extreme efficiency.
‘If it weren’t for the real iron horse, this would be a place that wouldn’t run anymore.’

But what’s the use of regretting it now?
Since it has already started, shouldn’t we see it through to the end?
Suho, who had released the iron horse’s seal and taken the chain fragments, finally came out.
I didn’t forget about stat distribution either.
All the bonus stats I acquired were invested into magic power.
Then I saw a towering spire standing alone in the distance.
The name of the tower that stands tall like the one in Jamsil is the famous Juche Tower.
It is literally a tower commemorating North Korea’s Juche ideology.
Although it is not visible here, there are other statues that were also famous below.
‘Of course, it’s all a mess now.’
Suho, who was looking at the Juche Tower, turned his gaze to another direction.
That was originally one of the places Suho had been targeting in Pyongyang, but now it is no longer a target.
The reason was simply a level issue.
‘Even if it was only level 1, I would have gone there.’
The Juche Tower is a complex gate with multiple floors, just like the Tower of Challenge that we conquered before. Each floor provides a lot of experience points, so if you play it well, you can level up a lot.
But it doesn’t really mean anything anymore.
If Suho was level 100, it might be different, but for the current Suho, it was just a matter of time and not particularly efficient.
The same goes for other places.
For example, Kim In-song Square, the Juche Tower, and Kumsusan Palace of the Sun.
Of course, this excludes the subway stations in Pyongyang.
Because that was the place to awaken the sealed iron horse.
‘Therefore, there is only one place I should aim for in Pyongyang.’
Suho spread out the map and checked the location.
Then he started moving with the Buddha.
“Let’s go, Bulgasal.”
“Bull Bull!”
The immortal is running.
The place we arrived at after tracing our memories was none other than the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, which could be called the headquarters of North Korea.
‘Commonly known as Building No. 1. That’s what it was called in the past.’
This is where the office of North Korea’s last leader, Chairman Kim Jong Un, is located, and if you go a little further, you can also see Chairman Kim Jong Un’s residence, the official residence.
However, the current building looked quite different from what was previously reported in the media.
It can’t be helped.
Because we fortified the headquarters to prepare for the monsters that would flood in after the cataclysm and the Awakened who would rise up in rebellion.
Of course, it wasn’t just the headquarters that changed after the cataclysm.
Pyongyang itself has changed a lot.
Even though Pyongyang is the capital of North Korea, the Workers’ Party of Korea did not have enough leeway to protect the entire city during the period of great upheaval.
So, Chairman Kim Jong Un gathered all the major buildings together around the headquarters building and turned it into one giant fortress.
But ironically, such actions actually became a shortcut to hell for them.
That’s understandable, because it was an ironclad fortress built to prevent outside invasion, but with all sorts of gates built inside, it ended up becoming a purgatory from which escape was impossible.
Suho recalled the old days, when the hunters advancing north first opened the door to Building No. 1.
Suho was there too at that time.
Because it was the headquarters in Pyongyang, not anywhere else.
Suho stood in front of the entrance to the headquarters building.
The entrance to the headquarters building was a deep and large pit like those of medieval European castles in the past, and the path was connected by a bridge that could only be lowered if requested from the headquarters side.
‘No wonder no one from the outside can access it.’
When this place was first built, everyone probably thought it was an invincible fortress.
But who knew?
They never thought that the fortress they built to protect themselves would become a prison that would imprison them.
Suho stood on the bulsal and summoned the ghost spear.
Then he threw his spear with all his might towards the fortress.
[ The spear is activated . ]
Ssaaaah!
A long, straight, long spear.
and.
[ Shadow movement is activated . ]
Suho’s body is moved to the headquarters building.
At the same time, Suho could see.
I am talking about the interior of the headquarters building of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, once called the supreme headquarters of North Korea, which has now become a living hell.
Tadah.
Suho, standing at the very top of the fortress entrance, couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of admiration without realizing it.
This place, called Building No. 1 and Headquarters, was called by a different name among hunters after the fortress entrance was opened.
Namely Logan Hell.
It was a nickname created by combining the character ‘Ro’ from ‘Ammu-gan-ji-gok’ and ‘Korean Workers’ Party’.
It was a very fitting nickname.
Because Logan Hell was literally the Avici Hell itself.
Suho shook his head as he looked at the People’s Army… or to be exact, monsters wearing the shell of the People’s Army roaming around the inside of Logan Hell.
‘And of all the nicknames, the reason this place is called Hell is because of those things.’
Monsters wearing the shell of the People’s Army.
To be exact, it was because he was wearing rotting leather and a tattered military uniform.
The central monster of Logan Hell was none other than the Skeleton.
Suho shifted his gaze and looked at the long, central road that stretched out like a European palace.
The fortified Logan Hell looked like a small village when viewed from the inside.
In the middle, there was a large road with major facilities located on all sides, and at the very end of it was the headquarters building and Chairman Kim Jong Un’s official residence.
And right there, standing proudly, was the large gate that could be said to be the starting point of all this hell.
Suho narrowed his eyes and looked at the large Logan Hell Gate.
‘It’s not a giant gate yet.’
The invasion of North Korea began when the high-level hunters reached level 200.
And at that time, Logan Hell Gate had a very large portal that was almost three stars in size.
However, now that the North Korean invasion has been brought forward much more than in the past, and judging by its size, it can be seen that it is at the level of a two-star, not a three-star.
I think it went well.
If it had been a 3-star level, extra-large gate, it would have been difficult to protect it even if it was protected.
Suho took a light breath and used his blessing.
[ Blessing is activated . ]
When the blessing is activated, the strength stat increases by 100% and physical strength explodes.
Then Suho summoned his spear again and threw it with all his might towards the Logan Hell Gate Portal floating alone and proudly in the distance.
[ The spear is activated . ]
Ssaaaah!
A rush of ghosts.
The sudden appearance of the ghost spear draws the attention of the skeletons filling the interior of Logan Hell.
However, Suho didn’t care at all and used shadow movement when the orbit of the ghost spear was about to change.
Of course, I couldn’t reach it in one go.
So he summoned and threw his spear once more, and after another javelin throw, Suho was finally able to reach the Logan Hell Gate.
It was the moment Suho reached the gate portal.
[ Enter the gate . ]
[ Loading gate information ]
[Rulers of the Throne]
– Entry conditions: Level 200 or higher.
– Maximum number of people: 300.
Brief entry requirements.
However, the number of people allowed to enter is overwhelmingly higher than ever before.
That was the part where you could see how difficult the Logan Hell Gate was.
But despite that, Suho was not at all afraid and urged her to take a stand.
[ Enter the rulers of the throne . ]
System notifications.
At the same time, Suho’s new form flashes and disappears.
