Episode 123
“Dimension door… … ?!”
The once calm convention room suddenly turned chaotic.
Compared to the other world, which can be entered relatively easily through dungeons, the spirit world has no official method of entry.
No, except for the elite hunters here, there are very few people who even know about the existence of the spirit world.
“The spirit world… … “Does this mean humans can come and go?”
“It’s amazing. I thought it was a place that would be difficult to even see unless you were in a coma… … .”
“Is there any substance that can be taken from that world?”
“If only I could get a lot of cores of spirit creatures… … !”
I flinched at the word ‘decoma’, but no one else seemed to notice.
hmm.
It seems like there are many people other than me who know about the existence of exorcism.
The following article: Are the people gathered here ordinary hunters?
Seemingly satisfied with the crowd’s agitation, a faint smile appeared on President Rather’s wrinkled face.
“Until now, the spirit world was a world that could only be viewed in limited ways. However, after many years of effort and research, we have found a way to enter and exit the spirit world. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people in WHPO’s research department.”
As President Rather finished his speech, intermittent applause was heard here and there.
“However, there is still a long way to go. Even though a dimensional door has been developed, the number of people and time that can enter the spirit world will be extremely limited. And according to research, activities in the spirit world are expected to be very difficult. for example… … .”
Raising his thin, white-haired head, President Rather looked back at the crowd.
“It is said that ether is consumed every time you exhale.”
“… … !!”
“For that reason, we take this opportunity to make a proposal to you.”
Pot.
As soon as President Lader finished speaking, a picture of the dungeon entrance appeared on the large screen.
Several hunters who recognized its identity widened their eyes.
“That… … ?”
“Stairs of hell… … !!”
“You recognize me. The name of this dungeon is Stairs of hell. “It is the only off-limits dungeon in Dubai, and one of the few dungeons with a ‘name’ in the world.”
As President Lader said, most dungeons have no names.
Like ‘Daechi-dong 8-star dungeon’, it is simply called by adding the name of the area and the difficulty level of the dungeon.
However, if the type of dungeon is very special, the Hunter Association gives it a name.
If you fail to check the final chapter of the dungeon.
If it is impossible to measure even with a difficulty level of 10 stars (★★★★★★★★★★).
For other reasons, if the dungeon is maintained continuously rather than disappearing.
And ‘Stairs of hell’ is a dungeon that meets all of those conditions.
“We will form a special team to enter the spirit world.”
“!!”
“I think many people here will apply to participate.”
Most hunters nodded at President Lader’s words.
It is a great honor for a hunter to take the first step into a new world.
And you may not know it, but you will be rewarded handsomely for that role.
A project that can contribute not only to the honor of the guild and the country, but also to humanity as a whole.
Since it was a gathering of top-class hunters, not city officials, there seemed to be no one who would turn down this sweet opportunity.
“Haeseon. Are we going to apply? “There is a Chamba we conquered in the Poison Dungeon. How can we miss this opportunity?”
Bisu taps my side with his elbow.
The dollar signs in her eyes make it seem like she’s more interested in ashes than fame.
“Just listen to the explanation first.”
“tooth. What else is there to do after listening to it? “If you go in there, it will be full of valuable materials.”
“Okay, just wait.”
Of course, if my colleagues agree, I would like to enter the spirit world.
Of course, being able to enter a new world other than a dungeon is exciting.
‘furthermore… … .’
In my case, there was a slightly more special reason.
This is because when I drank the coma water and experienced the spirit world, there was a person I recognized from afar.
Kirill.
She was clearly in the spirit world.
Now that I think about it, how was Kirill able to enter the spirit world?
Considering that she is being chased, I don’t think she collaborated with WHPO to cross over to the spirit world.
That means… … .
‘There is a way to go to the spirit world even if it is not a dimensional door.’
Yes.
Very few people probably know this information.
“For that reason, we want to give you a fair opportunity to compete.”
“Are you saying that opportunity is ‘Stairs of hell’?”
VAN, a Dutch hunter who expressed interest in me, raised his voice and asked.
“That’s right.”
President Leder nodded and gave a glance towards the staff.
Pot.
The photo of the dungeon entrance on the screen changed to several tickets.

“While you are in Dubai, we will give hunters access to ‘Stairs of hell’. “The country that has overcome these stairs of hell the most will be eligible to become a member of the special team.”
“… … !!!”
“There will be a total of 15 people in the special team, and there will be a limit of 5 people per country. In other words, there will be a total of three countries included in the special team.”
The number of hunters gathered here now must be from over 100 countries.
Considering the number of participating countries, it could be said that the number was quite limited.
‘It makes sense.’
Attacking unknown territory is the same as the spirit world or the ‘Stairs of hell.’
To date, the ‘Stairs of Hell’ that hunters have conquered is at most only the 5th floor.
In order to go down, you must eliminate the final boss of each floor, but so far no one has been able to beat the boss of the 6th floor dungeon.
For that reason, no one knows how many floors the ‘Stairs of hell’ is designed to be.
“I will not tell you to break through into unknown territory. We cannot afford to lose valuable human resources just to conduct testing. Therefore, each guild will have a five-hour time limit. If you complete ‘Stairs of hell’ within a limited time, you will be evaluated based on your performance.”
“hmm.”
“oh… … .”
The selection method could be said to be reasonable in its own way.
Whoever conquers the most floors will probably be able to adapt well to the spirit world.
However, the hunters did not hide their agitation at President Rather’s remarks.
Hunters were also seen sitting in their seats and talking closely with their colleagues.
This is because the current selection method clearly had the following meaning.
‘National competition’.
Although there were cases of calculating the ranking of hunters within a country, trying to rank a country’s military power was unprecedented.
This is because it can be a very sensitive matter between countries, and there is no particular benefit to cooperation between countries.
However, the current selection method was blatantly inducing competition between countries.
Set time, same stage.
And other results.
Rather, it felt like the significance of ranking countries was greater than the formation of a special team.
“I can already picture the media outlets making a fuss.”
Yuk Cheolwan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
What kind of results will our country’s hunters who participated in the World Hunter Forum achieve?
Media interest will increase more than ever.
Bisu twitched and accepted Yuk Cheol-wan’s words.
“It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it. What if we develop it for a Japanese or Chinese guild? “From that day on, social media accounts can be seen as blowing up.”
“Then that’s a relief. “You’re the only one who has an account.”
“Hey, Cheon Hae-seon. That’s what it means. “You’ll be showered with egg yolk as soon as you enter the airport, right?”
“Tsk.”
It has unintentionally become a situation where we have to fight for the country’s reputation.
I created ‘Irregular’ because I wanted to work freely, but I ended up having to carry quite a heavy burden.
“Still, I don’t think we should miss this opportunity.”
Maria, who had been listening quietly, opened her mouth.
“Just by setting foot in a new world, the status of that country will rise significantly. “There are at most three countries in the world.”
“all. sister. Why are you coming out so actively?”
“Now that the Glory Guild is weakened, Korea will be under intensive control from other countries. In times like this, we need to prove that there are strong hunters in Korea.”
Maria’s tone was quite firm.
She would be sad to say that her love for humanity came second, but she was not very interested in international sentiments.
What gave her this sense of mission?
‘It looks like you have a sense of responsibility.’
There were many reasons why the Glory Guild weakened, and one of them was Maria’s withdrawal.
Although she didn’t mean to, she seemed to feel responsible for the weakness of the Glory Guild and, by extension, the weakening of Korea’s power.
“Don’t try to take on too much.”
“Hunter… … .”
“Because what Maria is worried about won’t happen.”
With Gu Geon gone, the Glory Guild lost two leaders.
However, Korea’s representative is no longer Glory but ‘Irregular’.
All those concerns can be alleviated if we join the special teams team.
“… … yes.”
Did you read my thoughts?
She was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips and answered me.
A light of trust suddenly appeared in her low-slung eyes.
* * *
“As expected, Chairman Lee Sa-soon did not show up.”
-dream.
“At first, I thought he was working as an executive at WHPO, but I guess he wasn’t. “You’ve managed to work in Dubai without getting caught, right?”
-dream.
“What did you mean by seeing you in the evening? “If you’re not going to show up at the party or the meeting, where do you plan to meet?”
– Kuu.
Pori, who continued to add chuimsae, tilts her head.
Well, how can that small brain know something I don’t even know?
“By the way, the one in front of us was France. ‘Stairs to Hell’. “I have to be careful because I don’t know what kind of crazy things Franco might do.”
-Gurrrr… … .
Eh.
Pori, who was answering briefly while blinking her small eyes, suddenly made a growling sound.
“what’s the matter? “You didn’t like Franco that much?”
-Kur… … .
no.
The cry of the sharp-edged Pori clearly contained the meaning of ‘vigilance’.
What a border.
what?
Kigeek.
With my five senses stretched to the limit, I was able to detect the sound of something scraping on the window.
‘There is someone spying on me…’ … !’
I slowly got up from the sofa and rubbed my lips with my thumb.
Although he may have looked like he was in trouble, it was a thoroughly calculated action.
To raid the guy spying on us.
Green onions.
Unknowingly, I ran towards the window and could see the shadow quickly disappearing.
“Who are you?”
When I opened the window, a black shadow was running down the hotel wall.
Even at first glance, I could sense that it was not an ordinary movement.
He was probably confident that even if he was caught like he was now, he would be able to escape easily.
one,
‘Are you the only one who thinks something like that is possible?’
Pori, who was sitting on my shoulder, got out carefully so as not to hit the window, and quickly rolled his feet.
‘Ready to read’.
I was so in a hurry that I couldn’t test my ‘level 3’ abilities, but I never thought they would set it up like this.
Pabababak.
The feeling of air passing by your ears.
Whip.
And the sound of harsh wind.
The changed power of Dokbo can be felt through the skin.
I quickly approached the black shadow, splitting the hotel’s wall like it was the earth.
