Episode 73 World Dungeon Summit (2)
73. World Dungeon Summit (2)
“Ready?”
“It’s done.”
“okay.”
Choi Min-jun nodded and stood up from his seat.
“Go out.”
“yes.”
The long, narrow hallway was lit only by dim lights here and there.
The sound of footsteps echoed and was unusually clear and loud.
“Phew…”
Minjun Choi quickly reached the end of the hallway and took a breath. Then he opened the door with a click.
A bright void appeared in front of Choi Min-jun as he opened the door.
There were hundreds of people with sharp eyes and abilities sitting there.
“Wow!”
Cheers erupt as soon as Choi Min-jun appears.
Choi Min-jun, who had been closing his eyes and enjoying it for a moment, raised his hand.
Then, as if by magic, the room became quiet.
Everyone stared intently at Choi Minjun’s face.
“A lamp in the wind. The fate of the world today is like a lamp in the wind. However, fools who are obsessed with peace are deceiving everyone by turning a blind eye to the blade falling before their eyes.”
A quiet but powerful voice echoed through the hall.
“Idiots have no intention of avoiding or holding the blade. They just blind everyone and whisper lies that they can be safe.”
“…”
“Will we just watch the world perish at their hands?”
“no!”
The people with abilities answered loudly to Choi Min-jun’s words.
“Yes. You have chosen. To save the world with me.”
“…”
“Just in time, the heavens have given us a chance. Tomorrow. The incompetent people who put the world in danger will gather in the Republic of Korea.”
“…”
“We kill them. And a new world. We must open our world!”
The eyes of those gathered glowed red and their breathing became ragged.
“Of course it won’t be easy. Many people will die, and we might even fail.”
“…”
“Are you scared?”
“no!”
A loud voice that resonates through the community.
The response was satisfactory.
“The world calls us terrorists. That’s stupid. Are we terrorists?”
“no!”
“Yes. The world will know that. Tomorrow. We will no longer be terrorists, but saviors of the world. We will be reborn as heroes.”

Incheon International Airport.
It was natural for foreigners to wander around this world-famous airport.
Still, many people’s eyes were drawn to the man and woman walking through the airport.
“Whew~ I heard Korea is a small country, but is it more developed than I thought?”
A man with blond, pomaded hair looked around and whistled.
“What era did you come from? Korea’s national competitiveness has long surpassed that of some European countries.”
A woman with short brown hair shook her head as she looked at the man.
“Really? I didn’t know. Even so, why are you holding the summit in a country like this? It could have been done in the United States. And you said we were under martial law until recently?”
“Whether before or after the Dungeon Incident, Korea’s public security is world-class. That martial law situation was something that could happen on a daily basis in other countries. And the abilities of the people with abilities are said to be quite high, so it’s definitely worth experiencing.”
“Are you some kind of Korean spokesperson? Why are you taking sides like this?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
The man frowned as if he didn’t like it.
“Anyway, let’s go. We can’t keep our president waiting.”
A man and a woman walking through an airport.
They were followed in unison by nearly a hundred people.
These men, fully armed and radiating a menacing aura, are none other than the Warriors, America’s number one guild.
Among them, the blond man was the guild leader, Eden, and the woman with short brown hair was the vice-guild leader, Ella.
Those who are considered the best in America have landed in Korea to protect the US President who is attending the World Dungeon Summit.
**
The Second World Dungeon Summit.
World leaders from as many as 100 countries gathered in Seoul to attend this summit.
The difficulty of the dungeon changes rapidly.
A byproduct of the dungeons that keep pouring out.
Crimes committed by people with abilities become more serious with each passing day.
In addition to this, this meeting, which was held to discuss the changes in the world since the tutorial, was one of the largest conferences in history.
“There are a lot of people here.”
“That’s right. It’s nice and thrilling after a long time.”

“Hold still, you idiot.”
And a huge number of capable people gathered to escort them.
As these people, all with strong powers, gathered together, Kang Hyun also tried hard to suppress the excitement that was surging within him.
“It’s fun, I guess, because it’s world class.”
“Some of them might have a hard time one-on-one.”
“That’s right. Especially the blonde hair on the American side. It looks like we have too much.”
“You were watching too, hyung? Hehe.”
At that moment, the eyes of Eden and Kang-Hyeon, the blonde man sitting far away, met.
When Eden smiled and waved, Kang-hyun smiled back and waved.
“You little brat. You act like you know me when I saw you.”
Kang Hyun, who had been moving his hands and mouth separately, stopped and looked around.
Because, in addition to Eden, there were many strong people who were affected by the senses.
“Dongwoo hyung and Han Seyeon. I thought those two were the biggest monsters, but the world is truly vast.”
“Yes. With this level of power, even if a terrorist attack were to occur, it would likely be suppressed in an instant.”
Kang Hyun nodded at Shin Sung Ah’s words.
“That’s right.”
The terrorists’ method so far has been to remove the main core inside the dungeon and pour out monsters.
However, currently all nearby dungeons have been completely cleared.
Therefore, in order to attack this place, we had no choice but to invade directly.
“No crazy guy would attack here unless his head is empty.”
Even if we just gather all the power we have here, it wouldn’t be a problem to turn a country around.
In addition, there are a huge number of soldiers waiting around the meeting place.
The area around the conference room is completely controlled and entry is impossible.
“What do you think?”
“What?”
An Yu-seong turned his head at Kang Hyun’s question.
“You can say that it is a prophecy or a prophecy.”
“Neither.”
“Anyway, Inma. Do you think things will go wrong today?”
“well…”
An Yu-seong smiled faintly as he answered.
“You little shit… Huh?”
-Taang!
A sudden noise was heard.
It was a very small sound, but it was definitely a gunshot.
The general public didn’t know, but some people with abilities noticed it like Kang Hyun and jumped up from their seats.
**
“Phew…”
Sergeant Kim shook his waist once and shivered.
“Ah, it’s refreshing.”
“Sergeant Kim. Aren’t you worried?”
“What is this, Inma?”
Park Sang-byeong, who was standing next to me urinating, had a worried look on his face.
“You’ve heard the rumors. That terrorists might come today.”
“Hey, shit. Even if you’re a terrorist or something, how can you be more dangerous than a monster? I’ve killed more than ten goblins.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Okay. I’m X too, so keep quiet. I’ll be out soon, but you’re going to have to send me on this crappy operation.”
“phew…”
“If you’re done, let’s go.”
“yes.”
Park Sang-byeong was the successor to Kim Sergeant. Park Sang-byeong, who had a timid personality, had a hard time adjusting to military life to the point where he was labeled a “soldier of interest” during his days as a new recruit.
Sergeant Kim, who always helped Private Park Sang-byeong.
Although Sergeant Kim was usually playful and could be mischievous at times, Private Park always relied on him and was grateful to him.
“I… Private Kim.”
“why.”
“Thank you for everything so far.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Who would die?”
“That’s not it… Once this operation is over, Sergeant Kim will be out, right? Then we won’t see each other much from now on…”
“so?”
“I really wanted to say thank you properly.”
“Hey. Stop ogling. And why can’t you see me? You’ll be discharged soon, and I can contact you whenever I want from outside.”
“I’m not that stupid. I know full well that if it weren’t for the military, I wouldn’t have met someone like Corporal Kim.”
Sergeant Kim became angry at the sight of Private Park, who had no self-esteem whatsoever.
“Hey. Park Yoon-woo. Don’t say that again.”
“…”
“I told you not to do that.”
“Yes. Sorry…”
“There’s no way you don’t have anything to do, you little punk. Actually, I…”
“Sergeant Kim!”
“Uh, huh..?!”
Suddenly, Private Park covered Corporal Kim’s mouth. Corporal Kim, who was flustered, roughly pushed Private Park away and looked at him with the aforementioned expression.
“What are you doing!?”
“Something is strange.”
“what?”
“It’s so quiet outside.”
Only after Park Sang-byeong’s words did Sergeant Kim come to his senses.
And then he listened carefully.
‘There’s definitely something fishy.’
The soldiers’ chatter and the noise of their busy movements that had been heard just a moment ago were no longer audible.
“Let’s move quietly. Change the control knob to single-shot.”
“yes.”
The control lever, which is always in the safe position, moved with a single stroke.
In the past, it would have been unimaginable for soldiers to give such orders at their own discretion. However, after several incidents, the instructions were changed to allow soldiers to shoot at their own discretion.
“What could it be…”
“I don’t know. Let’s go slowly.”
“Are terrorists here by any chance?”
Park Sang-byeong, who was very scared, spoke while sobbing.
“Hey. Say something reasonable. Then it will be quiet like this.”
“Or why is it so quiet?”
“I don’t know, kid! Be quiet.”
Sergeant Kim, who arrived at the entrance to the public restroom moving slowly, leaned against the door cautiously.
And then he peeked his head out.
“what’s this..?”
An unbelievable sight unfolded before him.
“What’s going on?”
“Everyone… is down.”
“yes?”
“They’re all down. Like they’ve been knocked over.”
All the soldiers were lying there as if they were dead. Upon closer inspection, Sergeant Kim could see that they were indeed dead.
“f*ck… he’s really dead.”
“Yes, yes?! Ugh!”
“Be quiet, Inma!”
Sergeant Kim covered the mouth of Private Park, who was about to shout in embarrassment.
“Take a deep breath and calm down. You have to stay calm especially in times like this. If you’re calm, nod your head.”
Park Sang-byeong nodded slowly, and only then did Sergeant Kim take his hand off his mouth.
“First, let’s find the platoon leader. Once we get the radio, we’ll contact the command center right away.”
“yes…”
Sergeant Kim and Private Park moved quickly.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the platoon leader’s body was not far away.
‘It’s horrible…’
The platoon leader had a pained expression on his face with his eyes rolled back. There were red spots and petechial hemorrhages all over his eyes and skin, and he looked like he had been strangled to death.
“Wow, whoop!”
“Shhh!”
Park Sang-byeong, who had a weak stomach, kept vomiting at the sight of the gruesome corpse for the first time.
“As expected, it’s here.”
The platoon leader must have had the same thought, as there was a radio next to him.
But he probably died without ever being able to transmit a message.
“Hoo… This is Wild Dogs, Wild Dogs. Bora Mae, can you hear me?”
-Chiiiiiik…
“Did I touch it wrong?”
Sergeant Kim, who had little experience handling a radio, tapped the radio.
“No. I have been watching the signalman closely from the side, and he is doing it correctly.”
“Really? But why aren’t you accepting it?”
“I don’t know about that either.”
“Whew! This is a stray dog, a stray dog, an emergency.”
-Tsk tsk…
Despite continued radio communication, only a nervous noise was heard from the radio.
“What the f*ck… what the hell is going on?”
“Sergeant Kim. It’s scary…”
“It’s okay. Don’t be nervous. Let’s go to the emergency room.”
“Huh? Wouldn’t it be better to just hide like this?”
“No! I knew what was going to happen. And besides, this isn’t just about our lives. Come on.”
“…”
“If you understand, then let’s go.”
The sight seen after that was always the same.
Corpse. Corpse. Corpse.
The men who had been laughing and chatting together until yesterday were all lying there, cold and numb.
Park Sang-byeong now seemed to be in a complete state of panic.
“Gi, gi, Kim Byeo, Sergeant Kim! This is weird. Just leave it like this… .”
“You want to desert?”
“…”
“You go. I have to check up on the command center.”
Private Park’s eyes filled with tears at Private Kim’s cold words.
“Then I will go too…”
Finally, the two arrived at the command and control room located near the meeting place.
But it was no different there than anywhere else.
When I checked inside, I found that everyone, regardless of rank, was dead with their eyes rolled back.
All communication equipment had already been damaged.
“ha…”
“What should we do now, Sergeant Kim?”
“What should I do! Just run away….”
That was when.
Sergeant Kim quickly turned his head at the sound of footsteps coming from beside him.
“Who are you?!”
“Are there still any left?”
A familiar face came into view as Sergeant Kim quickly assumed a shooting stance.
‘Choi Minjun…’
A name that has been engraved in my memory after hearing it dozens of times during pre-training.
I thought I would never encounter a lowly soldier like myself, but here I am, it has become a reality.
“Ugh!”
There were no worries.
I took a deep breath and assumed the shooting stance I had repeated hundreds of times over the past two years.
And without hesitation, he pulled his finger on the trigger.
“uh?”
The fingers did not move.
“f*ck, what’s going on?!”
“Ughhhhh.. I’m going to die. I’m going to die!!!”
“I have a dog!
Even though Sergeant Kim shouted, Private Park just sat there, shivering.
“What a piece of trash.”
-Bang!
In an instant, Corporal Kim’s thoughts stopped.
‘What happened…?’
Park Sang-byeong’s head exploded, blood gushing out like a fountain, and a flying piece of meat struck his face.
“Park Yoon-woo… Hey…”
The voice of Corporal Kim calling Private Park was trembling.
“Park Yoon-woo…!”
Sergeant Kim called desperately, but Private Park was no longer in a position to respond.
“Hey, you little shit! Aaaah!”
Kill.
The only thought that came to my mind was to pull the trigger and kill that man.
My fingers hurt so much that I thought they would break, but I moved them with all my might.
‘Just a little more, just a little more…!’
-Click
At that moment, Sergeant Kim’s fingers moved slightly.
-Taang!
“hmm?”
Choi Min-jun stroked his cheek. His palm was stained with his own red blood, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“What an interesting guy. He was capable.”
“Haa, haa…”
Sergeant Kim took a slow breath.
I wanted to curse right away, but the intense pain that was coming my way made my head turn white.
The broken finger was swollen and seemed to be twice its original size.
“Ugh..!”
In that moment, something began to tighten around Corporal Kim’s neck. The pressure was so strong that Corporal Kim couldn’t even breathe.
“You. What’s your name?”
“…peel.”
“what?”
Choi Min-jun frowned at the faint sound.
Choi Min-jun, who had briefly loosened the restraints on Sergeant Kim, asked again.
“What is your name? Come under me.”
Only then was Choi Min-jun able to hear Sergeant Kim’s words properly.
“f*ck it.”
“I like him because it’s the first time in a while I’ve met a guy with guts… but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Sergeant Kim felt his throat tightening again.
‘Did everyone die like this…?’
The physical pain was mind-boggling, but more painful than that was the pain in my heart.
‘I will curse you even after you die.’
All Sergeant Kim could do was hold on to his fading consciousness and stare at Choi Min-jun as hard as he could.
“I ask you one last time. Come under me.”
“F, f…”
“f*ck!
Minjun Choi suddenly heard voices from the side and hurriedly put up his magic shield.
-Wow!
However, the hastily made shield shattered like glass, and Choi Min-jun, who was hit directly by the attack, flew like a cannonball and crashed into the wall.
“Nice to meet you. Is this our first meeting? I feel like I’ve been nagging you so much every day. Damn.”
Kang Hyun, who threw a cool side kick, smiled with satisfaction.
