Episode 193
Earth situation (1)
“First of all, I hit the broadcast… ”
ha.
Seo Sang-hee sighed as he looked at the crack in front of him. The crack sizzled as if it would burst at any moment. Sanghee chewed his lips.
Although I had already seen it dozens of times, it was still an unpleasant sight. The moment that ominous crackling sound reaches its peak, the dungeon will explode.
And once again, they will take their comrades with them. No, he might not even survive.
Even S-class users could lose their heads if they were unlucky. As always, actual combat is a series of exceptions.
“Whoa.”
Sanghee caught his breath.
As long as it was an actual match, whether it was an away game or a brake suppression, I had no choice but to be nervous. However, such tension should not be expressed on the face.
If it is revealed that the commander is embarrassed, confusion will inevitably arise in the command system. A person in a leadership position must be able to hide his or her emotions skillfully.
‘I know, I know.’
It was hard to hide this time.
In fact, there was hidden information that was not revealed on purpose in the evacuation broadcast a little while ago. It was a dungeon type.
‘After all, he’s the boss hyung.’
Boss-type dungeon.
This refers to a dungeon where the boss monster is exceptionally strong compared to other regular dungeons. The level of regular monsters that appear in the dungeon is very weak compared to other dungeons, but the power of the boss monster is enormous.
Generally, the boss-type dungeon grade is set one grade higher than the normal grade. This was just the bare minimum, and if you’re unlucky, a stronger monster may appear.
This means that the boss of an S-level boss type dungeon is at least SS-level. Maybe even higher than that.
Seo Sang-hee, who participated in this brake suppression as the leader of the suppression team, could not help but think of the worst case scenario. Sang-hee couldn’t have felt the signal fire in his arms being so heavy.
The evacuation of citizens within a few kilometers radius has already been completed. The story was that the only people around here were the brake suppression team.
This was a natural measure since monsters that came out of the brakes could attack private houses at any time, but in fact, there was a hidden side to this measure.
The purpose of the break evacuation order was to protect residents from broken monsters, but it also had the purpose of protecting them from military bombardment in the worst case scenario.
Of course, the material damage would have been beyond imagination, so it was a method worth considering only at the very end.
It would be nice if the brake suppression team could successfully suppress the fire, but there was a good chance that that wouldn’t happen.
What if the monsters that couldn’t be suppressed scatter in all directions and run to other cities? It was immediately the beginning of disaster. So, before such a situation occurs, the military carries out concentrated fire.
So who will decide whether to bombard or not? That was Seo Sang-hee, the leader of the suppression team.
If she determines that the brakes cannot be completely prevented with the full force of the suppression team, a signal flare will be fired immediately and a waiting Air Force plane will take off.
Then a carpet bombing will occur and all the users fighting here will die. That was the life of users belonging to the country.
In the worst case scenario, Seo Sang-hee could not help but feel a burden as he was ordered to kill all of his colleagues, including himself, with his own hands.
“Are you nervous?”
A tall man asked Sanghee. The man was Jin Chang-hoo, an S-class user representing the KNM guild.
The best tank in Korea who cleared the dungeon with Jeong-do and Sang-hee when the second cataclysm first occurred.
He also participated in this brake suppression operation.
“This may be presumptuous, but you can see the worry on your face. It might not be good for the rest of the crew.”
“… You made a mistake. Thank you for the advice.”
“It was nothing. “I completely understand.”
An S-level boss-type dungeon means that the boss monster is at least SS level.
This means that it is the same as the Elder Arch Lich Ditarteron that appeared in Dokdo last time, and of course this was a national emergency.
Naturally, the association issued a forced mobilization order to user guilds across the country, and the guilds that responded were now acting under Seo Sang-hee’s command. Jin Chang-hoo was one of them.
Sanghee turned his head and looked at the waiting team members. Since an official document was circulated across the country, many guilds had to send users, but in reality, this was not the case.
200 to 300 people at most.
At most, there were only that many users waiting behind Sanghee. She held back and swallowed her curse as it surged through her.
‘Anyway, those filthy bastards only get harsh in situations like this.’
In order to become a user, you must agree to ‘forced mobilization in times of national crisis’.
Noblesse oblige.
Instead of receiving preferential treatment in various aspects, users should take responsibility for this situation. However, as always, there were people who managed to avoid such obligations.
– I want to go, but because of the aftereffects of a recent expedition.
– Our guild is already in the process of conquering other dungeons, so there are no users.
– Suddenly I can’t contact you.
They refuse to respond to mobilization by making all sorts of bizarre excuses. And of course, a hefty fine is imposed on guilds that do not respond to mobilization.
However, despite such a strong fine, the guild’s attitude was that they would rather pay the fine and that they could not go into such limbs.
Sang-hee was about to explode as he secretly attacked a dungeon that could make money while trembling as he did.
‘No, let’s think positively.’
Where did these people come from? All users here were aware that they could easily get caught up in a bombing raid.
These were warriors who literally risked their lives to respond to the national crisis. Maybe it was a miracle that more than 200 people gathered.
In particular, Jin Chang-hoo, an S-class tank with both skill and personality, and…
“manager! Do not worry. Just block it. If you stop it!”
“… … .”
Sang-hee looked at Hae-sik, his heart pounding. Next to him, a surprisingly beautiful woman, even for a woman like her, was quietly nodding her head.
S-class users Seo-yoon Yoon and Hae-sik Kang.
Their joining together was truly like a miracle. Sanghee smiled and told them.
“It’s very reassuring. “I will only trust you.”
“sure! I have an iron wall that prevents even a single monster from escaping… “Oh, why are you pinching me?”
“… … .”
No matter what anyone says, the guild that has risen rapidly recently is the Triple S guild. The guild members themselves were very few, but they were the elite of the elite.

The guild leader, Triple S Jin Jeong-do, was, of course, the world’s best user, and his closest associates, Yoon Seo-yoon and Kang Hae-sik, were also powerful players that could not be ignored.
The two people who became S-class users in the shortest period of time since Kang Hae-jun and Jin Jeong-do. Currently, they are two people who are praised as the best rookies in the Korean user industry.
Is that it?
Although I can’t speak officially here, ‘Realize’ also sent reinforcements.
The black-haired swordsman called Ryu Serin was a powerful swordsman that even he could not belittle. Realize’s swordsmanship, which has continued its tradition for a long time, was truly the pinnacle of virtuosity.
‘good. you can do it.’
Sanghee made up her mind to become weak. Yes you can. Although it was not even close to being the best force in Korea, the people here were also very strong.
Since users have rapidly become stronger since the Second Cataclysm, it would be worth trying even SS-level boss monsters.
Sanghee consoled herself and held on to her WarX tightly.
Jijijijik.
At that time, the sound of the crack became stronger and Sanghee screamed.
“come! To the power location! We will provide detailed strategies depending on the type of monster that appears! Freerolls are granted to users of S rank and above!”
bang!
And the dungeon broke. Dozens of monsters began pouring out from the cracks in the dungeon.
Users who were waiting burst into laughter.
“Polyps?!”
“This is so rotten. Even if you get caught, these guys are like this!”
“shit. Lesser magic doesn’t work! Magic users, use support magic as much as possible!”
Doo doo doo doo.
The monsters pouring out of the dungeon looked like dinosaurs. When users saw the scene, they all uttered abusive language.
Among the monsters currently discovered, the dragon species monster was famous for being difficult to deal with.
High vitality and claws and teeth that can tear through even armor.
Additionally, the skin is so tough that not only spear swords, but even bullets cannot penetrate it. Not only that, but his basic anti-magic power was so excellent that he even ignored magic below a certain level, so there were no nightmares like this.
“Stop it!”
“Not a single one can escape! “Fight as if your family’s life is at stake!”
Kuang!
The rushing monsters and the leading tanks collided. The momentum of the monsters was terrifying, but surprisingly, the users were not pushed back at all and the battle line began to be maintained tightly.
“It’s worth it!”
“These guys were big. No substance! “Hold it like this!”
Various attacks from the dealer team rained down on the monsters that had lost their mobility due to the tank team.
“Keeeeek!”
“Kaaaaak!”
It was truly a fall of leaves.
The monsters could not withstand the concentrated attacks of the dealers and fell helplessly. Not even a few minutes had passed, but before I knew it, all the monsters that had jumped out of the brakes were eliminated.
But no one laughed.
The fact that regular monsters are weak also means that boss monsters are that strong.
Unusual mana began to flow from the cracks in the dungeon.
While everyone was tense and silent, someone muttered quietly.
“come.”
bang!
As the dungeon cracked open, a huge monster appeared. One word passed through the minds of all users who saw that image.
ruined.
The appearance of the monster that was revealed was an all too familiar sight. The monster, fully revealed, spread its huge wings and howled.
“KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK!!!”
“Kaaak!”
“Damn it, bloom! Everyone cover your ears!”
As a tearing scream rang out, the low-level users could not stand it and began to fall to the ground.
Ancient Wyvern.
This monster, also known as Yellowstone’s Nightmare, had previously appeared in a broken dungeon.
Rating: SS-level monster.
The fact that a division of the U.S. Air Force was deployed to exterminate this monster that appeared in Yellowstone at the time was a famous anecdote that users could not have known even if they wanted to.
But the nightmare didn’t end there.
Jijijijik.
As the dungeon began to boil again, another Ancient Wyvern appeared there. Sanghee muttered in fascination.
“Dual boss?”
In very rare cases, there were times when there were two bosses depending on the dungeon. Of course, in this case, there were two boss rooms in the dungeon, so there was no problem if you conquered them in turn.
Of course, that was a general expedition, not a non-break situation, and the dual boss dungeon in a break situation meant that the worst situation was having to deal with two SS-class monsters at the same time.
Sanghee shouted at the top of her lungs.
“The number of S-class users is divided in half! “Hold on to your death!”
Immediately, Seo Sang-hee, Jin Chang-hoo, and Ryu Se-rin attached themselves to a nearby wyvern. Seoyoon and Haesik headed to the remaining wyverns.
Time was running out. Why is it a flying type monster?!
If this thing flies into the sky… The country’s existence is in danger. I had to somehow suppress it before it took off.
Jin Chang-hu, who arrived first, hit the wyvern’s head with his shield. However, the wyvern only frowned for a moment and swung its huge wings to attack Jin Changhu.
“Ugh!”
Jin Chang-hoo, who caught the wyvern’s flapping wings, let out a groan. It felt like the shield was already creaking. Jin Chang-hoo was pushed back by the wyvern’s heavy attack, but he was still able to gain a very short period of time.
And Seo Sang-hee and Ryu Se-rin did not miss that brief moment. Each person jumped up and swung their weapons at the wyvern.
The target is both wings.
The two women’s swords and axes cut the wyvern’s wing membranes. The wyvern’s blood spurted into the air.
“Keeeeek!”
“evil!”
“Ugh!”
However, the wounds they inflicted were merely scratches on the massive wyvern. An S-class user could split a rock like tofu, but for SS-class monsters, all they could do was inflict small wounds.
The angry wyvern swung its body roughly and the two users were thrown away.
bang!
Ryu Se-rin was thrown into a nearby building. And at that moment, Sang-hee, who flew to the other side of her, was also about to be thrown into the building.
Suddenly.
“Oh my.”
Someone caught the flying Sang-hee. Sanghee, realizing that someone had saved her, raised her head to say thank you.
However, instead of saying thank you, other words came out.
“who?”
The man who saved her was a man Sang-hee did not remember.
He was a middle-aged man with very messy hair and beard and was completely shirtless.
As the leader of the suppression team, it was the first time Sanghee had seen the faces of all the members.
‘Certainly a civilian?’
Civilians who have not yet evacuated… ! No, a civilian couldn’t take it lightly when he was flying at high speed. In the end, it’s about the user… Could it be that a follow-up unit has arrived?
Sang-hee looked at the man with hope, but the man’s answer was far from what Sang-hee wanted.
“me? Cheok Jun-kyung.”
“Cheok Jun-kyung? It’s a name I think I’ve heard of… “Where do you belong?”
“belong? There is no such thing… “If I were to be specific, it’s Goryeo.”
“Ah, you belong to the Goryeo guild. I remember not responding to the mobilization… Anyway, thanks for the help. Where are the other personnel?”
Absolutely absurdly, there was actually a guild that used the name Goryeo, and because of that, misunderstandings arose. Cheok Jun-gyeong scratched her head and answered her question.
“I’m alone.”
“yes?”
“I am alone. No, but can you talk to me like this? “I think that’s urgent.”
“ah!”
Sanghee, who came to his senses after Cheok Jun-kyung’s point, looked at the Ancient Wyvern. Jinchanghu alone was doing his best to prevent the wyvern from taking flight. Sang-hee immediately ran out and shouted to Cheok Jun-gyeong.
“Anyway, thank you for your help! Join other teams and take down that monster as best as you can… ?”
Sanghee’s movements stopped.
There wasn’t.
The man named Cheok Jun-gyeong, who had been talking to him just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen. Sang-hee suspected that she might be possessed by her ghost.
“Oh no, it shouldn’t be like this!”
That guy later.
What was urgent now was the wyvern. The moment Sanghee turned his head and was about to run towards the wyvern, he had no choice but to stop again.
Because the man who disappeared was there.
Cheok Jun-gyeong was staring at the Ancient Wyvern in wonder.
“The world is going crazy. “How can such an abomination roam the village?”
“Kiek?”
Wyvern looked suspicious when he saw Cheok Jun-gyeong suddenly appear. The senses of an SS-class monster are beyond imagination. The wyvern was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the human without being affected by such a transcendental sense.
But that embarrassment lasted only for a moment.
The wyvern opened its mouth wide to complete its mission of invading the other world. He planned to eat Cheok Jun-gyeong in one bite.
“It stinks. Hey.”
Cheok Jun-gyeong frowned and waved his hand lightly.
And that was the end.
Do it yourself!
That huge ancient wyvern, starting from the top of its head to the tip of its tail.
It ended up being exactly divided.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The battlefield was engulfed in silence for an instant. Even the other Ancient Wyvern who was fighting elsewhere was silent and looked at Cheok Jun-gyeong.
Cheok Jun-gyeong looked strange at the sight and asked the others.
“Why are you looking at me like that? “Have you ever seen someone kill a monster with one hit?”
‘This is my first time seeing it!’
Everyone wanted to shout that, but they held back. Everyone had the ability to understand the atmosphere to that extent. Sanghee approached Cheok Jun-kyung as a representative and asked.
“Well, that was just… how?”
“huh? Can’t you see it? I just cut it with my hand? The reaction is strange. “Aren’t you guys here to catch that too?”
“No, because you made both ends of the matter… ”
“okay? “Where I was before, there were a lot of people who could do this.”
“… … .”
Sanghee almost replied, “What nonsense?”, but came to his senses when the wyvern continued to cry.
“this!”
“It’s flying!”
One wyvern that had not yet fallen felt afraid of Cheok Jun-gyeong and ran away. Sang-hee urgently spoke to Cheok Jun-kyung.
“Um, teacher?! That wyvern is running away!”
“hmm. yes. “No matter how small it is, the strong recognize it.”
“No, don’t say that, you have to catch that!”
“Maybe I don’t have to come forward?”
“yes? “What is that?”
“excuse me.”
When Cheok Jun-kyung pointed at the flying wyvern with his finger, other people’s eyes naturally turned there as well.
And that moment.
“Keeeeeeek!”
With a tearing scream from the wyvern, the huge body began to fall to the ground.
Wow!
When the wyvern crashed, the asphalt road broke and dust rose. Cheok Jun-gyeong smiled and said at the sight.
“Look. “I said there are a lot of people who can do it, right?”
Jeongdo slowly walked out through the cloud of dust.
