Episode 79
On the way to Incheon.
Ellie’s cell phone rang.
While answering the phone, her complexion became tense.
“Mincheol Hunter.”
“What’s going on, making you look like that?”
“The association has received a proposal to jointly attack the gate.”
“If it is a joint attack, will there be multiple teams attacking like in Jeonju?”
I touched my chin.
Something unplanned.
Curiosity arose more than discomfort.
“Is there a reason why the association is suddenly doing this?”
“The association re-checked the gate’s wavelength, and it is said that the interior area is more than twice as large as initially estimated.”
“It doesn’t matter if the area is twice as large.”
“According to the association regulations, if the gate size is medium or higher, at least two guilds are required to participate in the attack.”
“It’s becoming a nuisance.”
I frowned.
As the number of people increases, variables arise.
Especially inside the gate, one factor that cannot be calculated can lead to a big risk.
Ellie lowered her head in disapproval.
“I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.”
“Instead, we were assigned one more Class A gate.”
“After all, you’re good at one thing.”
If you give one, you have to get one, or even two.
Ellie never did anything to lose money.
“They say the gate setting was wrong, so the briefing materials I prepared were useless.”
“You’ll find out when you go in.”
I spoke leisurely and leaned back in my seat.
The place where the gate opened was a park not far from Dongincheon Station.
Perhaps the association’s agents had already completed controlling the surrounding area, but there was not a single civilian visible inside the park.
As I approached the gate, an agent stood in front of me.
“Are you from the Interstellar Alliance?”
” yes.”
“We apologize for the error in determining the gate.”
A field agent who apologized as soon as he saw me.
I shook my head.
“It’s okay. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Ellie, who was following, immediately asked a question.
“Can I find out which guild is participating in the joint strategy?”
“I know it as the Geumsan Guild.”
Geumsan.
It is said to be one of the top three guilds in Korea, following Hwarang and Shinseong.
Has the word become a seed?
As soon as Ellie could ask a question, several cars entered the park parking lot one after another.
come.
The Geumsan Guild mark was attached to the front of all vehicles.
“It’s already here.”
“Good thing you don’t have to wait.”
When first entering, both guilds must enter together.
Thanks to Geumsan Guild’s quick action, the waiting time was shortened.
I looked at the size of the attack force dispatched by the Geumsan Guild.
‘There are so many.’
Camping car.
Armored vehicle loaded with equipment.
The number of vehicles, including large buses carrying craftsmen, exceeded the tropics.
There were dozens of people in the raiding party alone.
Including the healers and assistants who supported the strategy outside the gate, there were over a hundred people.
‘Is this the way the three major guilds attack the gate?’
That many people are moving to attack just one gate.
It felt inefficient and cumbersome.
I shook my head left and right.
at that time.
A middle-aged man with an impressive bald head approached me.
“Geumsan Guild 2nd raid leader, Oh Jeong-woo.”
“I belong to the Interstellar Alliance. My name is Jeon Min-cheol.”
“Aren’t you the newbie that’s been rumored these days?”
A voice that seems generous at first glance.

But inside, there was a subtle hint of hostility.
“I don’t know if he’s the rumored newbie.
But, it seems right.”
I responded coldly.
Oh Jeong-woo looked around me left and right.
“When will that attack team arrive?
“What?”
“We’re all here.”
“You’re the only one here.” Oh Jeong-woo’s voice rose slightly. A tone full of disapproval.
There was a hint of hostility at the end of the words.
began to be expressed clearly.
“It’s like 30 people, just one person.”
“What was expected of an interstellar alliance?
place. If only I hadn’t held on to my ankles for no reason
It could be good.”
Ojeong leaves after saying only what he has to say.
right
“Elijah. That’s starting a fight, right?
ji?”
“I feel that way too.”
“There’s nothing between that bald guy and the Interstellar Alliance.
Did something good happen?”
“No. It’s my first time seeing your face.
“Isn’t this the enemy’s reason?”
“I don’t know a bald guy like that.”
Foot-
Ellie laughed softly.
I think you think you’re joking.
I’m serious.
‘Let’s find out later who will be holding on to the ankle.’
If you don’t know why the other person hates you.
The right thing to do is to create a reason for that.
One corner of the mouth turned up.
I glared at the back of the bald man’s head with a sinister smile.

The interior of [Dongincheon Station Gate].
The moment I stepped inside the gate, the surrounding scenery changed along with a bright light.
‘This is••••••
The land stained black.
It is a land of death without a single tree or blade of grass.
The smell of a corpse wafts through my nose.
It is the scent of countless ‘deaths’.
I searched through my memories of my past life and discovered the identity of the deep sense of discomfort I felt on the ground.
‘Land of the Dead.’
An area created by piled up corpses of all kinds of creatures.
It is the realm of the dead that excludes the living.
at that time.
The gate surface trembled continuously.
Hunters from the Geumsan Guild entered the [Dongincheon Station Gate].
A total of 30 people.
The hunters of the 2nd raid were all armed with rare grade items.
Tank, melee dealer, ranged attacker, and healer.
It is reminiscent of the Hwarang Guild raiders that competed in Jeonju in the past.
‘The difference is that he’s not a rookie.’
I checked the abilities of several hunters with [Eye of Truth].
Grade B according to the association.
They are all veteran hunters who have reached over 80% of their potential.
“Hmph. What is it? I can’t see anything.”
Leader of the Geumsan Guild raid.
Oh Jeong-woo walked forward while grumbling.
“Wouldn’t it be better not to go any further?”
I gave short advice.
A big smile appeared on Oh Jeong-woo’s lips.
“You little brat. You’re already scared. Guys, let’s show the power of Geumsan Guild!”
Oh Jeong-woo moved forward while listening to my words.
I don’t know why.
That bald man was quite conscious of me.
The Geumsan Guild raid unit advances following the raid leader.
The raiding party entered the land of death.
at that time.
Grumbling-
The ground I was standing on shook violently as if there had been an earthquake.
“Everyone stay in place. The vibrations are not threatening!”
Oh Jeong-woo shouted in a loud voice.
The raid hunters showed no signs of panic and withstood the vibration by using the weapons they were holding as support.
The shaking ground quickly calmed down.
‘You’re doing something foolish.’
Tsk tsk.
I clicked my tongue.
They won’t know.
Why is this place the land of death?
The tremors that came just a moment ago were only the prelude to the horrors of the Land of the Dead.
Kwasik!
Between cracks in the ground.
The thin, dry bones sprang up.
Hundreds of arms grabbed the trouser legs of the raiders who had set foot on the land of death.
“Captain! The enemy has appeared beneath our feet.
“Yes!”
“It’s undead!”
“Everyone, don’t panic. When I give the signal, we will step back and straighten our formation.”
Oh Jeong-woo stamped his foot hard.
［Daijingak］
A shock wave swept across the earth.
The bone arms that held the hunters were swept away by the great force and shattered like a piece of water.
“As expected, you are the captain.”
“Let’s reorganize quickly.”
The raiding party trying to retreat towards the gate.
It didn’t go their way.
“Guuuh uh…
“Ggelgelgel!”
A skeleton with only bones left.
A rotten zombie.
Front and back, left and right.
The undead army rose up from all directions and surrounded the Geumsan Guild raid.
‘I knew it would happen like that.’
I crossed my arms and watched the situation.
all.
land of death.
This is what happens if an area where a large-scale war took place is not properly purified.
The black, dead ground is not dirt, but land made by piled up corpses.
‘If you go defenseless like that, it’s like jumping into a limb.’
This is a fact that can be known if you have a hunter skilled in search conduct an investigation before entering the gate.
I don’t know what kind of grudge that bald guy has against me.
Because they rushed in with me in mind, the entire raid team was in danger.
The number of undead quickly increased to thousands.
“Mincheol Hunter. Is it okay if I don’t help you with that?”
Support team leader Younghyun Jeong’s voice trembled.
“You can leave me alone. You just have to suffer.”
“Even if it were another guild, I think they would be wary if they approached me like that.”
“Those undead. They are all low-level. If you deal with them properly, nothing will happen.”
I pointed to the skeleton.
A bunch of dirty guys who only appear at D-class gates.
Since this is an attack team of the 3 major guilds, they will not be defeated easily.
‘The problem isn’t those idiots.’
This is a different area from an ordinary gate.
land of death.
This space itself is a living creature.
It was comfortable to think that.
I activated the Shengcheonjogyekong.
I sharpened my senses and found a place where I felt the energy of death particularly strongly.
A 45 degree angle relative to the front.
I found a place where black energy was fluttering.
I summoned 5 Immortal Warriors from subspace.
“You guys, protect your group here.”
『Name of honor.』
“Pengu. I leave it to you.”
-bruise! Just trust me.
A land of death where the entire surface is a den of the undead.
It is a dangerous place to enter with a support team.
‘It’s easier to go alone here.’
Following the Seongcheon Jogye Gong, the sacred flame also enveloped the body.
All abilities increased by 90%!
An enormous power surged.
I operated Unryubo while kicking the ground.
Geumsan Road under siege by undead forces
I passed the raiding party and ran quickly towards the inside.
“Grrrrgh!”
“Fresh flesh. Give it to me.”
An army of low-level undead blocked the way.
Instead of dealing with them one by one, I focused the chaos energy on the soles of my feet and fired them all at once.
Pow!
A body rising into the air.
The feeling of floating envelops my whole body for just a moment, and then I quickly fall down.
‘Anyway, you’re a mess. They are the ones who barely give any experience points.’
I used Unryubo again while stepping on the zombie’s head with my right foot.
Head or shoulders.
Using the undead body as a stepping stone, they made their way through the army and headed toward their destination.
“Guh? It smelled like a living person.”
“It’s above your head.”
“Sooooo……
The undead army waved their arms above their heads, trying to catch me.
but.
By the time they recognized me and stretched out their arms, they had already passed.
‘Dealing with these guys is a waste of time.’
land of death.
The entire gate is a space made up of monsters.
In human terms, low-level undead are like dandruff or grime.
No matter how much you shake it off, it can’t harm the person who is the original being.
‘The reward that maintains the land of the dead
You have to hit de.’
I ran without stopping towards a place where the energy of death was strong.
When we advanced for about 3 minutes.
Wedge!
Something flew in from afar.
I instinctively lowered my head before checking the object with the naked eye.
The moment an object passed by my back and hit the ground.
Quaaaaang-!
Dozens of undead exploded with a loud noise.
Bone fragments and rotting flesh rained down behind me.
-The living one. You must have used your body to avoid my attack.
A voice that rings loudly as if spoken into a loudspeaker.
I looked straight ahead.
An undead knight with a hollow neck.
A high-level undead, Dullahan, looked down at me while riding on a ghost horse.
“I found it sooner than I thought.”
I smiled meaningfully while looking at the Dullahan.
