Episode 230
The SS-class monster that appeared had the shape of a wolf.
What makes it as unique as its size of up to 10 meters is that it has four heads.
Hydra Fenrir, the tyrant of the deep.
It was an SS-class monster listed in the world government’s monster encyclopedia.
Chi profit. Cheeik.
The saliva flowing from his mouth was melting the ground.
Like most monsters from the deep, Hydra Fenrir also harbors poison within its body.
“Umm… .”
Ji Jin-hee sighed.
It is clearly an SS-rank monster.
It is said that New Korea’s leading players Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, and Kwak Si-yang have experience subduing SS~SS+ monsters.
‘It was all a successful subjugation under the command of Taehyeon’s army.’
There is a difference in rank between S+ grade and SS grade.
Oh soso.
Just encountering Hydra Fenrir’s magic gave me goosebumps.
Ji Jin-hee tried to calm herself down and gauge her strength.
[It is dangerous.]
Go Tae-wook said that again through the earrings.
It emphasizes that all the hard work that has been accumulated so far can be lost in this one incident.
Ji Jin-hee did not know that fact.
“Director Go. “How many monsters have appeared?”
[A grade at 20… Ten S grades, and one SS grade.]
Although there were few individuals, they were all upper to highest level monsters.
Among the gate breaks that have occurred in New Korea so far.
‘I would say it is the most difficult.
Coincidentally, those on the scene are also among the elite players of New Korea.
‘It’s not like there’s no chance of winning.’
That’s when Ji Jin-hee made that decision.
[I will try to attract the attention of SS-rank monsters. Please take care of it quickly and come back.]
Kwon Kang-hyuk claimed to be the flag bearer.
“Can you do it?”
Ji Jin-hee asked again.
[Won’t I be able to rely on my younger brother forever?]
Kwon Kang-hyuk grumbled and mentioned Tae-hyun.
It wasn’t wrong.
‘I can’t rely on Taehyun forever.’
Didn’t he return to active duty to prepare for a situation like this?
Ji Jin-hee made a decision.
“I understand. “Let’s do it.”
A response plan has been decided.
There was no more confusion.
[I will deal with grade A monsters first with wide-range weapons.]
Ko Tae-wook came up with a realistic plan.
[I guess I should step forward.]
Kwak Si-yang quickly unleashed his magic power.
This is because if you have concentrated your magic power to its limit, you can take out about twenty A-class monsters at once.
“Seongjin, let me deal with the S-class monsters.”
[Larger.]
Park Seong-jin’s answer was the last.
Four players representing New Korea.
The four units they led entered toward their destination.
* * *
A series of explosions followed.
While Kwon Kang-hyuk was holding down the SS-grade monster, Kwak Si-yang’s skill took care of the A-grade monster.
In the meantime, Ji Jin-hee and Park Seong-jin took care of five S-class monsters.
The remaining five S-class monsters were quickly captured by Kwak Si-yang, who joined late.
What remains is an SS-class monster that is aiming to devour Kwon Kang-hyuk.
There was only one Hydra Fenrir.
Kwaang!!
The magic bullet that Kwak Si-yang condensed hit one of Fenrir’s heads.
I hesitated, but that was it.
Because the leather was so thick, the attack did not work properly.
“What the f*ck!! “Why are you so late?!!”
Kwon Kang-hyuk hurriedly drank the healing potion and shouted.
The body was full of minor wounds here and there.
If I had been 30 seconds later, my body would have been torn in two.
“We handled it as quickly as possible, so don’t complain too much.”

Ji Jin-hee spoke calmly and glared at the target in front of her.
At that time, an association player who had gone in to look for Lee Jeong-su approached Ji Jin-hee.
“There is no sign of popularity inside.”
“this… Did I miss it again?”
“f*ck you. Now, is this going to cause a gate break?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk cursed.
This is because we know that the current gate break is not a coincidence.
Ji Jin-hee was the same.
“Choose fifty people from each unit, form a search party, and search the entire area.”
“All right.”
The man who received Ji Jin-hee’s orders quickly disappeared.
The opponent is an SS-rank monster.
Most players were just a burden.
Except for the minimum number of healers and buff players, everyone was reorganized into search parties and rear support units.
Kwaang!!
Kwon Kang-hyuk was once again thrown to the floor by Hydra Fenrir’s attack.
“Director Go. How was the analysis?”
Ji Jin-hee looked at Park Seong-jin, who started the attack instead of Kwon Kang-hyuk, and asked about the strategy.
[Nothing special is known about it except that all four heads must be crushed and the poison contained in its teeth. We are preparing to support Alchemist personnel for accurate analysis. We will arrive at the scene in 5 minutes.]
“I understand. “Hurry up.”
After ending the communication, he released the magic power of his entire body.
“It’s been a long time since I hunted monsters.”
Hehehehe.
Ji Jin-hee’s body was strengthened with magical power.
“Tsk. “Don’t overdo it and end up falling down.”
Kwon Kang-hyuk stood up and spit out blood-mixed spit.
“It’s blasphemous. “Guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk.”
Park Seong-jin, who said so, also had a magical effect on the spiral lacquer paper.
“If you take off the skin, I will add a follow-up blow.”
Kwak Si-yang said as he converted the compressed magic bullet into the form of an awl.
“It will be the first SS-class monster subjugation in New Korea. Everyone, don’t die.”
Ji Jin-hee said that and leapt onto Hydra Fenrir.
New Korean ancient martial arts 6th form, Sibjin.
Kwaang!!!
The signal was a strengthened foot slamming down on Fenrir’s head.
Tiring.
[Skill Launch (S) has been activated. Specifies the target person.]
[Skill Magic Condensation (S) has been activated. Condensation rate: 90%]
[Skill Beast’s Protection (S) has been activated. Version: Minotaur Queen]
On this day, the life-threatening subjugation of SS-class monsters began.
The four players will reach the highest level of S class, formerly called the national power level.
* * *
When Taehyun returned to New Korea, the subjugation of Hydra Fenrir had just ended.
The earrings did not work properly due to Asisat Ebi’s barrier, so I was unable to receive notification in time.
‘Fortunately, the damage is not significant… Did Lee Jeong-su miss it?’
Even when it was reported that Lee Jeong-soo had been missed, Tae-hyun did not feel any regret.
This is because he earned more than just capturing Lee Jeong-soo in Nigeria.
Information learned through Asisat Ebi.
Taehyun organized them one by one.
‘After winning the turf war, the grand dukes are ultimately aiming to become kings of the underworld.’
That was why we created anti-aircraft contractors.
Since the king was originally a human, he looked into the possibility of beings that are usually considered bugs or microscopic creatures.
But just like in the past.
An anti-aircraft contractor was not an easy choice.
Of course, a strong body that can withstand unrefined magical power.
The nature of the magical power must be correct, and there is a high probability that the mind or body will collapse in the future.
‘If the contractor dies, the Archduke will also suffer a blow.’
She didn’t know about the blow, but it seemed certain that it was true.
In addition, I heard about sightings of several large supply monsters such as Asmodeus.
“How do you know this information?”
After hearing everything she said, Taehyun asked with an indifferent expression.
Even though she was already in the lower class, she didn’t care.
“Ahaha. What did Hazard tell you? Rosalia seems to have a heavy mouth on her part.”
“… … .”
Taehyun ignored her retort and summarized the core of the information.
“So the Archdukes are unable to come to Earth because of their enormous magic power, and as the magic power of the Archduke contractor becomes stronger, the limit of monsters that can come over to Earth also increases?”
“yes. That’s correct. In a little while, even SSS level monsters will be able to overcome, and in the end… .”
Even anti-supply monsters can cross the gate.
“Why are you sharing information with me?”
“I have no intention of turning the Earth into the Abyss just because I became an anti-aircraft contractor.”
Asisat Ebi responded with an expression that suggested it would be natural.
“So let’s hold hands?”
“I know you’re in league with Cody Cruz. “If we join forces, it won’t be a problem to deal with Kassim Jort or Min Ji-hong.”
“you. “I think you look at those guys too lightly.”
Taehyun is Min Ji-hong and Kassim Jort. I competed with both of them.
All of them were higher achievers than Asisat Ebi.
“I would be useful as an ally, what do you think?”
It was a problem that there was no need to worry about.
While I was thinking about that incident, Taehyun arrived in the intensive care unit.
Instead of capturing Lee Jeong-su, they succeeded in subduing SS-class monsters, among which were Ji Jin-hee, Park Seong-jin, Kwon Kang-hyuk, and Kwak Si-yang.
‘I need to meet Vice Guild Leader Jeong Han-soo.’
He would have investigated Asisat Ebi on behalf of Yoo Ah-young, who had not yet awakened.
When it comes to grand dukes, Rosaria is also included.
Your attitude so far is closer to that of a colleague.
‘You never know.’
I needed to be sure of her intentions just in case.
Sorting out my complicated head.
Rattling.
Taehyun opened the door to the intensive care unit.
* * *
that day.
News spread that there was an SS-grade gate break in New Korea.
There was also an article stating that the chairman of Taesan Group had passed away and that Lee Jeong-soo, who had been vice chairman, had unofficially become chairman.
In addition, an article was reported that the Chinese side selected Taishan Group as the first partner company.
In an instant, the value of Taesan Group soared.
Rumors arose that not only Taesan Electronics, which represents the group, but also Taesan Guild would relocate to China.
Among them, the one that received the most attention was Taesan Pharmaceutical.
Rumors spread that the company that had just been listed was a leader in creating vaccines for gray diseases.
Although the Players’ Association announced that the information had not been confirmed, public opinion was divided.
A force that criticizes Ji Jin-hee for trying to destroy a company that promotes national prestige by colluding with Mine.
A force that is convinced that Mine is behind it and is suspicious of the sudden collusion between the Chinese government and Taishan Group.
And the gray disease that is spreading uncontrollably and even the forces that hate Asians.
The whole world was divided and people started criticizing each other.
As if ridiculing such public opinion.
The American Health Organization (ATO), one of the best vaccine research institutes under the U.S. government, was attacked.
Behind it is the world’s largest mine organization.
It was Har-Sultan led by Kasim Zort.
* * *
New Korea Players Association headquarters.
Even though it was early morning, several people were sitting face to face in the emergency conference room.
“The situation is getting more serious.”
Go Tae-wook, who attended as acting president of the association, spoke with a stern expression.
Onsaemiro, Magicians, and Night Walkers all appeared as deputy guild leaders in attendance.
This is because Ji Jin-hee and each guild leader suffered considerable injuries from the gate break gun a little while ago.
The only guild leader present was Alchemist, a non-combat guild.
“They are moving quickly.”
Night Walker’s deputy guild leader Jeong Han-su opened his mouth.
A tremendous amount of information was being released in just a few hours.
Even before Night Walker could properly identify the source of the information.
“It appears that the United States has decided to declare an all-out war against Har-Sultan and borrow the power of its allies.”
“It’s an alliance… America’s position has also become ridiculous.”
“If you touch Jeongsu Lee now, you will face backlash.”
After becoming chairman of Taishan Group, Lee Jeong-su was under the protection of the Chinese Players Association.
In order to bring him in, some friction was necessary.
“I think I definitely got it wrong.”
Taehyun, who was quietly listening, muttered softly.
No matter how long it takes.
Just like in my previous life, I thought that the United States would be able to develop a vaccine for gray disease.
I planned to take care of New Korea’s affairs first and then move back to the Abyss.
But the future.
‘Maybe it was more twisted than I thought.’
Even though he has caught the shadow, Mine is getting more aggressive, and Kasim Jort and Min Ji-hong are taking advantage in the meantime.
Right now, I have no idea what the benefit is.
“Guild leader. To what extent has a vaccine for gray disease been developed?”
Go Tae-wook looked at Seo Sang-ik and asked.
“I’m sure it’s based on the monster’s poison… Mutations are being created at an incredibly fast rate. Unless you can get your hands on the poison that is the source… “It will last at least five years.”
“5 years… .”
“ha… .”
Unlike the other vice guild leaders who sighed, a hypothesis came into Taehyeon’s mind.
Past life or present life.
‘The gray disease began with Venom’s magic power.’
Such Venom was able to become an SS+ grade monster by receiving the magic power of Grand Duke Beelzebub.
So what if.
What if you could control Beelzebub’s magical power?
What if Beelzebub’s blood could replace the source of the poison?
‘It’s worth a try.’
It was a sufficiently plausible hypothesis.
The thought didn’t last long.
Wow.
Without realizing it, my clasped hands gained strength.
Archduke Beelzebub.
It was time to meet him.
