Episode 347
Two months ago.
A huge gate break occurred in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Right after Taehyun finished his work in Fukuoka.
It was an incident that occurred not long after falling into the Abyss.
Compared to Europe and Asia, the power of African and South American players is relatively low.
The Brazilian Players Association failed to block the gate break in time, and it was determined to be a measurement grade SSS, making it an unexplored dungeon.
What followed was not much different from the actions taken by associations with insufficient power.
The Brazilian Players Association requested support from the World Players Association, which in turn requested support from the United States and New Korea Players Association.
Two players with different levels of strength even among SS-level players.
It was to get help from Kim Tae-hyun and Cody Cruz.
It has already been proven that the strength of both players works even in SSS level breaks.
Two SSS grade breaks before Rio de Janeiro.
This is because Taehyun blocked the break in Fukuoka with Seongnyeo, and the party organized by Cody Cruz blocked the break in London.
The problem was that the presidents of New Korea and the United States did not easily release Kim Tae-hyun and Cody Cruz.
Association presidents Ji Ji-hee and Kevin Lee did not reveal the locations and duties of the two players, and each time they did so, the media criticized the two association presidents and players.
The World Players’ Association issued a blockade order, assessing that a strategy that does not include two players is highly likely to fail.
To prevent the dungeon from breaking, a method was chosen to dispatch players of an appropriate level to remove monsters at the beginning of the dungeon.
The analysis is that this alone can prevent the monsters inside from multiplying and causing the dungeon to break.
Dungeon raids were held once a week, and at that time, Brazil’s SS-rank player Lucas dos Santos led the raid team, along with many A-grade and S-grade players supported by the World Players Association.
Nine S-rank players and hundreds of mercenaries supported by the World Players Association are going in and out of the dungeon every week.
In response to Taehyun’s question about finding the biggest dungeon.
It was no wonder Seo Sang-ik recommended that place.
* * *
“I see some Asians among these mercenaries.”
Lucas dos Santos.
SS-rank player and Brazilian hero.
And he, who is also the leader of this unexplored dungeon, spoke indifferently.
The nine S-class players around reacted.
All of them were members of the World Players Association and were leading the attack team.
“What country is this guy from?”
Mercenaries who are recruited into raiding parties that risk their lives are usually driven by money.
Therefore, the recruitment process was not that difficult.
Since they were recruited without much effort, the leader of the raid is not largely responsible if they die.
“You look Chinese?”
“Those guys are kind of creepy.”
“I’m sure he’s not infected with the gray disease, right?”
Ten players, including Santos, looked directly at the man and spoke.
It is no secret that China is behind the demons and gray diseases.
Since most Asians appear to be Chinese, it was not unreasonable to immediately associate them with gray disease.
“You’re talking like gray disease. “When will the damn epidemic end?”
“All Asians look alike.”
“Do you know anything? If you get to know him, he might be a guy who hides his power and makes money. “I heard a lot of Japanese players do that?”
“Kikik. Those island country guys. “They boasted about being an advanced country, but now they are making a living as mercenaries?”
A burst of laughter erupted.
at that time.
“Hey, you!! Asian!!”
One of the group called out to the man.
“Did you call me?”
The Asian man who was nominated asked back with a sour expression.
His shabby clothes were covered with a cape, and his sprawling, unshaven beard was a common sight among professional mercenaries.
“Are there any other Asians here besides you?”
The man imitated a monkey and made funny movements.
The eight S-rank players nearby giggled at the mocking action.
“… … .”
The Asian man quietly looked at them.
“What is your grade?”
“… “It’s grade B.”
The man answered bluntly.
“It’s B grade… .”
“Hmm… “Is it useful for a monkey?”
“Well, that’s the kind of skill that wouldn’t be surprising if you could easily die in a place like this.”
“It might not be the same as before, but now I’m at an appropriate level to work as a mercenary.”
“Why don’t you just act as my personal porter instead of showing off with your mediocre skills?”
At the man’s words, the surrounding area once again burst into laughter.
“… … .”
“Stop it. “The jokes are going too far.”
At the intervention of the strategy leader, Santos, the laughter stopped as if it had never happened before.

Even though they belong to a world association, they are nothing compared to Santos, who has a promising future.
“Captain, I was just joking around to relieve some tension before entering the dungeon.”
“I know, but aren’t we comrades who should be together anyway? “We are not allowed to enter, so let’s go in.”
After saying that, Santos tapped the Asian man on the shoulder.
“Understand. “Is it because you don’t have good feelings toward Asians because of gray disease?”
“What does that have to do with me?”
“… … !!”
“That bastard has a habit of talking to the captain… .”
“monkey. “Do you want to die?”
Some people were angry, and some people whistled at this funny situation.
Santos raised his hand to stop all of their actions.
This is because I don’t want to create unnecessary trouble before entering the dungeon.
“Did you say he was a B-class awakened person?”
“exactly.”
“It’s common for mercenaries to lose their lives in dungeons.”
Santos put his hand on the man’s shoulder.
Wow.
There was strength in those hands.
“I advise you. “Don’t show off, just be slightly dented.”
“… … .”
The entire area became quiet due to that daunting warning.
“Entering the dungeon!!”
Santos shouted, tapping the man on the shoulder again.
With shouts, about 500 people entered the dungeon.
“In moderation… .”
A man muttered quietly.
Taehyun also walked towards the huge gate.
* * *
“I expected it, but… “It’s not all smooth sailing.”
Ji Jin-hee, who was looking through the negative reports posted here and there, said quietly.
It was about forming the P20.
Ko Tae-wook, who was looking through another report, made eye contact with Ji Jin-hee.
Ji Jin-hee, who returned to active duty, trained while Tae-hyeon was not awake and grew in size.
It was to maximize the power of ancient martial arts.
“All the politicians of the new Korea have already been roasted and boiled. However, with this level of pressure, the United States and China should also be considered involved.”
The country was unified, its national power improved, its economy developed, and it became a powerful country.
It is still politicians who hold power.
Even though its power is great, the Players Association is also just one of the pillars that make up the new Korea.
“There are more evil people in the world than good people.”
“The wicked usually play in the mud.”
Ji Jin-hee hated hanging out in that muddy water.
So, even though he was in the position of president of the association, where he had to be closer to politics than anyone else, he stayed away from them.
However, the P20 is an organization that goes beyond the country.
In order to succeed, help from local politicians was essential.
Ji Jin-hee, who took a middle path, cannot possibly have the talent to roast ruling party and opposition party politicians.
What he chose was a hard line policy.
Intimidation through information.
Using Yoo Ah-young’s Night Walker, we gathered information related to corruption in private schools, bribery, and concealment of s*xual crimes by famous politicians.
Negotiations went smoothly.
“It’s no different from Mine in that you have to use dirty tricks to solve it.”
“Who can stop people’s greed?”
Ko Tae-wook responded to Jin-hee Ji’s grumbling as if he was bitter.
“More than that, it is said that a large gate break occurred in India.”
To change the calm atmosphere, Go Tae-wook changed the topic.
Ji Jin-hee, who was skimming the report given by Go Tae-wook, showed interest.
“Is the measured value SS…? .”
“The problem is that the SS-grade dungeon has already been created, but the SS-grade gate has been opened.”
“Two SS-grade dungeons combined… This is an unprecedented situation… .”
Ji Jin-hee, who was quickly flipping through the back pages of the report, fell into a deep sleep.
“SSS-grade gate breaks are becoming more frequent. Yesterday, we received a call from the World Players’ Association requesting Taehyun’s help… .”
“Did you refuse it?”
“yes.”
“Good job.”
“sorry… .”
“You have nothing to apologize for.”
Although Ko Tae-wook did not finish his sentence, Ji Jin-hee knew.
The world’s criticism of the New Korea Players Association is growing stronger.
It was due to media play on the part of the World Players Association.
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young is also responding, and anyway, once P20 is established, such trivial media play will not work. “What about Brazil?”
Brazil was initially favorable to joining the P20, but was currently hesitant to join due to pressure from China and the United States.
“No reply yet. “I plan to send player Park Seong-jin.”
“Umm… . If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have no choice but to ask Taehyun for help. “You have to conquer an unexplored dungeon for them to take the bait.”
“I agree.”
“Is Taehyun still resting at home?”
“that… “It seemed like it was running.”
“Don’t tell Taehyun about the current situation for no reason. It’s impossible to help the child who is suffering at the deepest level… “Let’s try our best to solve the problem.”
“I guess so.”
Go Tae-wook said, smiling awkwardly.
‘It’s Brazil… .’
I already heard through Yoo Ah-young that Taehyun headed to Brazil.
I just thought I shouldn’t say it because Ji Jin-hee might worry.
‘But you said you were going somewhere to Brazil…’ ?’
* * *
Wow.
The B-class monster’s body was completely torn apart by Taehyun’s sword slash.
From the beginning of the dungeon, chimeras were pouring in, the species of which was difficult to identify.
Taehyun’s superficial skills are that of a B-grade mercenary.
Accordingly, he was dealing with moderately low to mid-level monsters.
‘This is a dungeon that never existed in my previous life.’
Now it’s Taehyun and Cody Cruz.
Although public opinion is dominant that SSS level licenses should be issued to both players.
In my previous life, no SSS level players were born until just before my regression.
‘What kind of guy made this?’
From Asisat Ebi’s words, we know that the reason the Archdukes are breaking is due to the limitations of the Abyss.
Even if it was an SSS grade, it wouldn’t be able to escape that reason.
‘I said it’s been less than 2 months since it was created… Are all the Archdukes within range?’
Except for Lucifer, due to the battle in the world of images, the states of the Archdukes would also not be normal.
There is no way a large supply like in Fukuoka will occur.
The possibility is at the level of the Great Devil.
‘There’s no way a guy like that would show up.’
If I were to look at it highly, would it be in the upper class?
While Taehyun was thinking optimistically, the association players led by Santos eliminated all the monsters at the beginning of the dungeon.
Five S+ grades.
S rank is twenty.
Other than that, they were all mid- to low-level monsters.
“I’ll just clean up here and then go back!!”
Santos shouted with magic in his voice.
We entered the dungeon with 500 people and caught close to 300 monsters.
He seemed to think that was enough.
That’s it.
thud. thud. thud. thud.
Kiaaaaa.
Inside the dungeon.
A strange sound was heard from far away.
‘SS grade?’
It was a presence that could be felt familiarly at the deepest level, but it was not the case for others.
“Get in formation!!”
Santos, sensing that something was amiss, shouted and grabbed his weapon.
Wooooow.
A bluish magical power wavered in the unique grade spear.
‘Did you say you learned ancient Brazilian martial arts? The momentum isn’t bad… .’
The opponent was not good.
The monster that appeared was the Bone Dragon.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The guy fired his breath without warning.
“damage!!”
In an instant, as many as 50 casualties occurred, meaningless even when someone shouted.
The whole area became a mess.
“Everyone retreat back!!”
Santos shouted.
The Bone Dragon was preparing its second breath.
Everyone is turning their backs and retreating.
If you don’t block the breath in your current state, the number of deaths will be at least 300.
The destruction of the raiding party was obvious.
Even if you deal with the Bone Dragon, there will be just as many casualties.
“shit!!”
Santos, swearing, turned around and stopped.
It was seen that magical power was infused into a unique grade spear.
It’s about buying time.
“bloke!!”
Santos unleashed his magic power.
An SS-level skill that made him an SS-level player.
‘Carnival festival.’
His body began to glow like an ancient warrior.
The guy saw his spear and threw it at the dragon’s neck.
nettle liquid.
The spear flew with an eerie sound and hit the bone dragon’s ribs.
The guy screamed and canceled his breath.
‘It looks like the license was purchased with money.’
When Taehyun was thinking like that.
Kwaang!!
“Ugh… !!”
Santos, who had been hit directly by the Bone Dragon’s paw, flew in front of Taehyun, coughing up blood.
‘Save this guy. Roll it up?’
