Episode 91
“What is a special dungeon?”
“… … .”
under..
In response to Bisu’s question, I washed my face dry with both hands.
“How on earth did you pass the written test? “The type of dungeon is the basic of the basics.”
“Woo! I took the picture and barely passed! why!”
I think the conversation will be long if I talk to this person.
I turned my head and gave him an expectant look.
“Mr. Jeonghyeon.”
“yes yes?”
“You know, Jeonghyeon, right? “Your written score was close to perfect.”
“ah… … . “I know a little bit.”
Kang Jeong-hyeon looked left and right and spoke cautiously.
“Special dungeons are literally… … It is a general term for a special type of dungeon rather than the commonly known type… … . A representative example is the Poison Dungeon. “It accounts for about 5% of the total dungeons.”
As I listened to the answers coming out one after another, I suppressed my laughter.
I can barely memorize the textbook, but I know ‘a little’.
It would be nice to be a little more humble.
“you’re right. Special dungeons are like mutations, for example. “Anything that doesn’t follow a normal pattern.”
They are roughly grouped together as special dungeons, but there are many different types.
“I heard this from someone in the past, and it is said that there was a case where monsters came out before the gate deadline.”
“yes?!”
The person who was most surprised by those words was not Bisu or Kang Jeong-hyeon, but Maria.
This may be the first time she has heard this within the large Glory Guild and as someone who has experienced numerous battlefields.
This was top secret information provided by Hunter Association supervisor Pyo Hyeok-gyu.
‘Code Yellow’ activated in North America.
Although the difficulty of defeating the monster was not difficult, the fact that the ‘deadline’ for opening the dungeon was not applied had serious implications.
“That’s a scary story… … . Even now, guilds are adjusting their dungeon schedules according to deadlines… … If monsters pour out all at once from an unsolved dungeon… … .”
Looking at Maria’s pensive face, I shrugged my shoulders.
“On that day, the Republic of Korea becomes a slave.”
Then Yuk Cheol-wan asks me.
“Is there any possibility of a mistake? The deadline was set incorrectly… … .”
“The local association conducted an audit, and it was said that there was about a week before the dungeon was opened. “The machine that measures dungeon energy was also confirmed to be normal.”
“I can’t believe it. That would be a reversal of the world’s formula that has been established so far… … .”
“It’s not just that. A dungeon that wasn’t even solved suddenly disappeared, or a boss mob was killed but the dungeon still didn’t disappear. “Recently, abnormal phenomena like this have been pouring in like a flood from all over the world.”
“So we need information. “This is it.”
“yes. If we are not careful, the whole world could end up like Israel.”
“… … !!”
Even before the monsters appeared, Israel was quite a powerful country.
Military facilities armed with state-of-the-art equipment and human resources occupying key positions around the world.
Even after the advent of the Hunter era, its strength has been maintained steadily, but, unbelievably, Israel has walked the path of destruction.
In vain.
In just 3 days.
Uncontrollable monsters poured out across the country, and the elites from each country dispatched by the World Hunter Organization worked together to barely eradicate the monsters.
Unfortunately, less than 1/10 of the Israeli people survived the process.
A country that stood shoulder to shoulder with world powers suddenly suffered a crushing blow.
A ‘code red’ has been sounded only once since the World Hunter Organization was founded.
It was the only case where a global alert went beyond the national level.
The biggest problem with this tragedy was that the exact cause of the catastrophe had not yet been identified.
“The day I became an awakened person was also the day the double gate opened. Two gates opened at the same time, and coincidentally, both were poison dungeons. “There were many casualties in the process.”
“… … .”
Maria’s face sinks heavily once again.
It seems like he feels a sense of responsibility as a member of the Glory Guild.
“The reason we were unable to predict these variables is because we had been obtaining information from ordinary dungeons. “In the process of clearing special dungeons, we must gather information to combat the coming cataclysm.”
Bisu puffs out his lips and asks.
“The cataclysm… … . “Are you really coming?”
“Maybe it’s already here.”
“Hwiyu. “That’s bloody.”
Bisu whistled, and Kang Jeong-hyeon swallowed his saliva.
“Basically, we will expand the investigation area based on the Poison Dungeon. “Maria?”
“yes… … ?”
“Do you know about the minerals in the Poison Dungeon?”
“no… … . “I have no idea.”
I raised my head and looked at Yuk Cheol-wan.
Clan leader Yuk Cheol-wan of ‘Clean Up Clan’ began his explanation in a confident voice.
“The minerals collected in the Poison Dungeon are more than three times more valuable than regular minerals. Moreover, if you collect rare herbs, you can earn hundreds of millions of won in profits just by clearing a dungeon.”
“Wow… … . “That’s enough for one elite guild team to move.”
“haha. So you don’t have to worry about your income. Mr. Bisu and Mr. Jeonghyeon here would also receive more than the major guilds, but I don’t think they would receive less.”

“Oooh.”
Bisu’s eyes shine brightly.
It’s a brilliance that was never shown when preparing for the Hunter Qualification Exam.
Thinking back, it was almost a miracle that she passed the written exam.
“Of course, we also do what the world expects of us. When an accident suddenly occurs, we move to the place where help is needed and clean up the scene.”
Bisu asks urgently.
“So, what do you get there? “Can we eat it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“no. Still, labor costs have to be paid… … .”
I answered more firmly than ever.
“Not only did we kill him, but we also had to collect compensation from the guild.”
“Uh, honorarium?”
“okay. “I cleaned up the site on behalf of an incompetent guild, so shouldn’t I be compensated?”
Everyone’s expressions change strangely.
why.
what.
[Somehow, he seems like he’s a bigger fanatic than most guild leaders?]
[that… … Iknow, right.]
I can hear it all.
“I didn’t just talk about irregularities to the vice president of the association. A cause is a cause, and of course we should be paid fairly for what we do. I had no idea that it would be operated on such a large scale from the start… … . “You will never go hungry.”
“Good!”
“The Poison Dungeon is not a place registered in advance, but moves based on information I receive separately. “We plan to deal with it before the association finds it.”
“That’s right!”
But why?
I start to feel uncomfortable.
These people.
Aren’t you taking it too literally?
“… … “Aren’t you curious?”
“huh?”
“Where does the association receive information that the association doesn’t know about, and how will the money be settled? Something like that. “Aren’t you curious?”
“no way. You will take care of everything. “I don’t like that kind of thing because it’s a pain in the ass.”
Bisu waved his hand, and Kang Jeonghyeon nodded with a sincere expression.
Maria did not show any positive attitude throughout, perhaps because she had already earned enough, or because she was not interested in money from the beginning.
Are they ridiculously naive?
… … hmm.
I think I’m going to eat it all.
“… … “If there are no questions, how about a light dinner?”
“okay!!”
Only then did people start to show motivation.
* * *
“… … .”
A large man is sitting in a small space.
The air felt heavy, perhaps because the lighting was not bright, and the man’s expression was even more depressed than that.
There was only a thin sheet of paper left on the monotonous, unadorned desk.
The man stared at it for a very long time.
‘Inspector’
This is a report usually submitted to superiors when something is done wrong.
Goo Geon-i, the head of Glory.
He was now in a position where he had to submit a report to the Hunter Association.
“… … “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
His eyes were still sunken low, but a painful laugh came from his mouth.
A truly strange sight.
However, Gu Geon could not hold back his laughter.
‘They’re bastards that aren’t even worth a handful.’
The power of the Glory Guild is enormous.
Even if you add up the power of all the remaining guilds except Glory, it’s at a level where you might be a match or not.
If they decide to take down the Hunter Association, the world will change in one day.
However, I just can’t do it because I don’t have a ‘justice’.
The association officials, who had been flattering the ape vice president when he was alive, have recently subtly changed their behavior.
How dare anyone.
Hunter officials have never pointed out the Glory Guild’s mistakes at a gathering.
Even worse, call yourself, the CEO, and write a reflection in a place like this trash?
A spark flashed in Gu Geon’s eyes again.
He put down the pen he was holding and slowly lifted the paper.
Wow.
Then, he began chewing the police report form with great care, one bite at a time.
‘I will make you pay for ignoring the Glory Guild.’
The thought of saving people had already entered his mind after he flew to Andromeda.
We must retrieve Maria, who was taken away by Cheon Hae-seon.
The association’s policy of reducing its jurisdiction next year must be reversed.
Bae Jeong-dae, who publicly criticized him, must be removed from the position of vice president.
No, that’s not enough.
Bae Jeong-dae must be killed.
‘the problem is… … .’
force.
There is not enough force.
Goo Geon was a genius and strong from the beginning.
However, there were times when even Goo Geon regretted his own powerlessness.
When there was a catastrophe between Kang Hyeon and Hunter in the ranking match.
Of course, the compatibility was extreme.
Tanks who deal with Espers are like mice in front of cats.
However, after suffering a humiliating defeat that day, the Glory Guild had difficulty expanding its power for a while.
The position of the strongest within a guild is inherently like that.
There are thousands of talented people within the Glory Guild, but when the person considered the strongest is trampled by others, the guild’s evaluation plummets.
Now, people will take the conflict between themselves and Cheon Hae-seon as an issue.
Even if one’s own humiliation is just what happened, if it damages the image of Glory Guild, it will have a negative impact on the guild’s business as a whole.
Absolutely, such things must be prevented.
“Dog -like cub… … .”
To what extent should it be said that it is a remarkable opponent?
How can someone who has only been a hunter for less than a year grow like that?
The more I thought about it, the more surprising it was.
I remember the day I met Cheon Hae-seon at Hunter’s headquarters.
The scum that used to flinch at the mere sound of ether in its voice has now become an equal opponent.
The thought that he might have already surpassed himself arose, but the pride firmly entrenched in his heart was blocking the thought circuit heading in that direction.
Gu Geon got up from his seat.
The face of Cheon Hae-seon is seen as he takes Maria on a dull visit.
Maria was more than just a business partner or colleague.
A person from an orphanage, with whom I had spent over 10 years, was like a limb to me.
The feeling of loss from losing such a person was at a level that could not be described in words.
In the end, Goo Geon couldn’t hold back and swung his fist.
bang.
They only came in to cooperate, but they could have broken down a door like this and left.
Of course, the association would go crazy.
However, Gu Geon’s intuition, who had led the guild for many years, was telling him that.
All of this is due to lack of strength.
That Maria left him.
People around the world praise Cheon Hae-seon.
The association is also uncooperative with the Glory Guild.
All those things.
It’s all because of my own lack of power.
‘When there is overwhelming force, everyone will return.’
Gu Geon, who left the Hunter Association, immediately went to the Glory Guild Gangnam Research Institute.
Recently, the Glory Guild has been analyzing a special ‘something’.
Extremely dangerous, yet ridiculously strong.
A black ‘something’ that seems to absorb everyone around it, even the light.
Dark matter.
That was exactly what was found at the scene of Yoo Ji-won’s death.
