Episode 140
Right.
Among them, Sanggji.
That expression suits the current Irregular very well.
The only thing that is similar to before entering is Bisu’s red hair.
No, even the end of it was scorched by something and curled up.
“under… … . Why did you use this place as a testing site? “Are there only psychopaths at WHPO?”
Bisu screamed loudly, as if he was still angry.
“Ah, that’s a shame. “It would have been nice if I could have gotten through just one more floor.”
Cheon Hae-seon regained his appetite without even thinking about wiping away the bleeding nose.
“sorry. Even if I hadn’t fallen in the middle… … .”
Kang Jeong-hyeon shows off one bare arm with the fiber device twisted around.
“I’m afraid the last blow didn’t work. Unfortunately, the buff ended at that time… … .”
Chen stares at the broken blade.
There were as many different reactions as the number of people who left the dungeon.
“Then, Mr. Cheolwan looks like a skewer, can I give the buff only to you? “I don’t know if it’s a flea sword or a thunderbolt sword!”
“… … I would have said it was a thunderbolt sword. And where can you find such large grilled skewers?”
“Ugh. “You shouldn’t talk.”
Should I say that I am glad that we at least have the strength to argue?
The Irregular’s situation was so miserable that it made me think that way.
‘It seems worse than when the French team came out.’
VAN implicitly compared the appearance of the French team filmed by reporters with the Mavericks.
One side is a general ward, and the other side is square shaped.
It could be said that it was difficult to determine superiority or inferiority.
Click click.
“Ay! Why do you keep taking pictures of my good looks?!”
“Wow, this is our job… … .”
Even the world’s most powerful magistrate doesn’t want to be seen like this.
The Irregular members were healed by the healers who were rushed in, and only Cheon Hae-seon moved forward and found the WHPO dungeon manager.
“I will verify the strategy.”
After killing the boss mob, cut off part of the body and submit it to WHPO.
It serves as evidence of how many floors of the ‘stairs of hell’ you have overcome.
Cheon Hae-seon looked very tired and took out the items he had kept in his arms.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Bill, the dungeon management manager, looked at the item Cheon Hae-seon held out with a somber expression.
‘Looking at the appearance, it doesn’t seem to be much different from France… … .’
France’s official strategy record is the 3rd floor.
Having exhausted their healing power while fighting through the flowing water on the second floor and the poison forest on the third floor, they could not hold out for long on the fourth floor and had to choose to return to Jogwi.
Considering the size of the country and the value of its name, the performance can be said to be quite poor.
On the one hand, the ‘Stairs to Hell’ could be seen as being that harsh.
‘What can I do with only 6 people at most? I guess I should give meaning to the fact that I returned safely.’
If something goes wrong with the hunters just because they are competing against each other nationally, it will be difficult for WHPO to avoid responsibility.
Aren’t these people who represent the country and are national treasures?
Bill was relieved that they returned safely, but at the same time, he was angry at their reckless challenge.
It’s probably because they grabbed a dungeon that couldn’t be conquered and made a fuss about it.
Needless to say, the pride that the S-rank hunters had was at a level that was a pain in the mouth.
Sometimes we become blinded by a competitive spirit that may be nothing.
Bill thought that was the reason why the ‘Irregulars’ ran out of time and came out, and why their appearance was so ruined.
Until I checked the item that Cheon Hae-seon held out.
“These are Pernod’s scales.”
Bill soon had to believe his eyes and ears.
‘Perno? Pernod?’
Bill kept looking at the scales in front of him and at Cheon Hae-seon’s face.
These red scales were clearly Pernod’s scales.
Having worked as the manager of ‘Stairs to Hell’ for many years, there was no way I could go wrong.
‘Unbelievable… … !!’
The problem was that the nest of this scaled ‘Perno’ was on the 5th floor.
Does this mean that the reason he came out looking haggard was not because he had a hard time on the ‘Stairs of Hell’, but because he had conquered so many floors?
“This… … “Come here!!”
Manager Bill eventually called in other WHPO employees and began an elaborate verification process.
It’s not because you don’t believe your eyes.
This is because I didn’t think people would believe me if I told them that Korea’s Irregular team, which consisted of at most six people, had tied the all-time record.
“This… … I’m sure. Pernod’s scales are evident.”
“How could this happen…?” … .”
Other officials were also surprised.
They turned their heads here and there, looking at the Maverick team and Perno’s scales over and over again.
‘Can’t you just stop playing around and send me to my dorm?’
After returning from submitting evidence, Cheon Hae-seon yawned lazily.

Even though he was a Cheonhae Seon with a huge amount of black ether, he felt like he was running out of energy for the first time in a long time.
Especially when I was running out of time and was carrying Kang Jeong-hyeon on my back, I really thought my legs were giving out.
How long has it been since you exhausted all your energy and had a nosebleed?
‘Oh, it’s such a shame.’
If he had just broken through one more floor, he could have set a world record.
But unfortunately, the current ‘Irregular’ team was limited to just that.
I also thought I could understand why other guilds were unable to break through to the 6th floor or higher.
‘To break through beyond that, you need half as many healers.’
The 4th floor was more like a poison dungeon than the 3rd floor, and the 5th floor was better than the 4th floor.
Even if they just took a quiet breath, the hunters’ condition rapidly worsened.
However, out of about 10 people, it was not possible to fill 5 healers.
Because the remaining five combat resources won’t be able to suppress all of those monsters.
The number of guild members who reached the highest record by setting foot on the 6th floor was a whopping 60 people.
So it was not unreasonable for WHPO managers to continue to doubt their own eyes.
Although he is a hunter representing the country, he achieved the record and tie with only 1/10th the number of people.
“We will release the official records.”
In a half-dazed voice, Bill revealed the records to reporters.
“Hunters from Korea. The Irregular cleared the 5th floor of ‘Stairs to Hell.’”
* * *
The sound of loud laughter spreads through the headquarters building of the Korea Hunter Association.
“Ho ho ho.”
A soft laugh that anyone who has worked here for a long time will remember.
Hearing that laughter, many employees sighed in relief.
The Glory Guild is at a loss, and the identity of the uninvited guest who attacked the ranked match is unknown.
This is because in this chaotic time, the long-awaited Absolute has returned.
“long time no see.”
Lee Sa-sun.
The absolute leader of the Hunter Association, who was known to have been in a coma for several years.
She announced her return to the world.
“welcome.”
As if they had been preparing for it long ago, the association’s executives bowed to Lee Sa-sun’s appearance.
Lee Sa-sun’s position within the association was at a level where even the word ‘absolute’ was insufficient.
She was the only hunter in the country who was called ‘super salary’.
Although she got older and retired, the established theory was that even if she returned to active duty immediately, there would be no hunters in the country who could overpower her.
“President. “I’ve been waiting anxiously for a really long time.”
Several executives with whom she was acquainted stand in front of her with moved faces.
As each year and two passed, the confidence that she would return turned into worry.
To the point where terrible rumors are spreading that ‘Chairman Lee Sa-soon is already dead.’
However, Lee Sa-sun made a proud comeback, and a positive atmosphere began to form throughout the association.
Just one person.
Except for one person who had to give up the master bedroom he had worked so hard to occupy.
‘Shit. Why at this time… … .’
Vice Chairman Bae Jeong-dae hides his shit-chewing face and asks Chairman Lee Sa-soon to shake his hand.
“I’m glad you’re back. President.”
“Ho ho ho. “I heard that Vice President Bae Jeong-dae has worked hard so far.”
“This is a completely unfair statement.”
No matter how you look at it, she was a truly unremarkable woman.
A baggy jacket that doesn’t match the latest trends, hair that’s leaking here and there, and a chubby body that looks like it likes fried food.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t believe that this person was one of less than ten ‘super-level’ hunters in the world.
But Bae Jeong-dae had to accept this reality.
As long as you eat from the association, it is impossible to rebel against Chairman Lee Sa-soon.
After finishing a short interview with reporters, she headed straight to the conference room.
All executives of the association, including Bae Jeong-dae, were present.
“When I arrived, I read the briefing that summarized what had happened so far. Managing Director Kang organized the contents well.”
“thank you.”
“It may seem like a crisis at first glance, but I think it’s actually a good thing. Currently, Korea’s guilds are dominated by a small number of large companies covering too many regions. Sometimes it’s more than they can handle.”
“… … !”
“Especially the Glory Guild’s jurisdiction is unbelievable compared to other countries. “It is dangerous in many ways to entrust nearly half of the capital’s territory to one guild.”
Even before Chairman Lee Sa-soon disappeared, the Glory Guild was the largest group in Seoul.
However, it was not at the level of controlling all of Seoul like it is now.
The former vice presidents, Ape and Goo Geon, formed a close relationship and provided abnormal preferential treatment.
That’s why Chairman Lee Sa-soon said, ‘It turned out better.’
The goal is to take advantage of the Glory Guild’s stumbling and seek changes through equal and efficient jurisdictional policies.
‘If it were the same as before, there would have been quite a few ups and downs… … .’
Lee Sa-sun smiled bitterly as he saw the executives meekly accepting his remarks.
It’s just that I didn’t reveal it, but there are probably more than a third of the people here who have joined the Glory Guild and have done various things.
If the Glory Guild had remained strong as usual, there would probably have been some who objected to his remarks.
However, the inside of the conference room was deathly quiet.
With Goo Geon gone, there was no one who could guarantee the future of Glory Guild.
‘This is all thanks to that friend… … .’
Even before the ranking match began, there was a person who caused a rift in the Glory Guild.
The person who subdued Yoo Ji-won, who went on a rampage as a chimera, and exposed the true face of the Glory Guild.
The person who caused Maria, who was like a symbol of the Glory Guild, to leave.
The person who led the destruction of Vice President Ape, with whom he was close like brothers.
Cheon Hae-seon.
A handsome young man with a rough image appeared in Lee Sa-soon’s mind.
I thought there would be quite a bit of work to do upon my return, but thanks to Cheon Hae-seon, some major issues had already been resolved.
‘Thank you very much, my friend. No matter what mistakes I make in the future, I will have to turn a blind eye to one thing.’
Lee Sa-sun thought about this and smiled faintly.
“What is the status of the hunters participating in WHPO?”
“Ah yes.”
Vice Chairman Bae Jeong-dae received Lee Sa-soon’s words without missing a beat.
“As you know, Chairman, the official WHPO schedule has been completed. However, we are only targeting countries that wish to participate in the ‘Stairs of Hell’ dungeon. Now that I think about it, the Irregular Team’s dungeon raid date happens to be today. “I’m worried that they should return safely.”
The corners of Lee Sa-sun’s mouth slightly turned up at Bae Jeong-dae’s words.
“Safe return… … . Do you have any expectations other than that?”
“yes?”
“Just in case they are selected as a team to explore the spirit world… … “Isn’t that possible?”
“ah. haha… … .”
In most cases, one should not criticize the president’s words.
But Bae Jeong-dae shook his head without realizing it.
Because that is truly impossible.
“Of course, since they are Korea’s representatives, we can expect good results, but… … Aren’t there at most five of them? Hunters from other countries are also coming in groups of ten… … It won’t be easy. On the contrary, wouldn’t it be a bigger deal if you were to hurt yourself while using unnecessary force?”
Lee Sa-sun did not refute any more and nodded quietly.
No matter how much you talk about it here, they will never find out.
What type of potential does Poisoner have?
However, Bae Jeong-dae thought Lee Sa-soon’s silence was ‘tacit consent’ and added flesh to his remarks.
“You can tell just by looking at the hasty transfer of an unknown hunter from Taiwan. They are now blinded by sympathy. I wish someone would stop the Irregular… … .”
“… … ?
Lee Sa-soon couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.
An unknown hunter from Taiwan.
Why is he out there?
“taiwan… … This? I wonder if that hunter’s name is… … Is it ‘Chen’?”
Then Director Kang asked in surprise.
“That content wasn’t in the briefing materials… … . “How did you know?”
“her… … .”
Lee Sa-soon smiled a truly empty smile.
I never thought that the promise I made a little while ago, ‘I will turn a blind eye to whatever mistake Cheon Hae-seon makes’ will come true so quickly.
I don’t know how he tricked him, but it appears that Cheon Hae-seon took Chen to the ‘Stairs of Hell.’
‘You seem like a clever friend… … .’
The Cheon Hae-seon in her head was suddenly smiling like a bad boy.
