Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 163
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 163
Busan Haeundae.
It was relatively recently that strange signs were discovered on this beautiful white sand beach, which is crowded during the holiday season..
The Knights Guild, a representative guild in the Yeongnam region, patrolled the entire area of Haeundae after receiving reports that people kept going missing there..
And I found it.
“skeleton.”
The leadership of the Knights Guild was silent at Lim Tae-gyu’s words..
“The area where skeletons appear is gradually expanding..”
In the video, numerous skeleton soldiers were seen crawling out from hiding under the sandy beach..
And I also saw the Hunters of the Knights Guild defeating them..
Looking at the battle taking place on the screen even at this very moment, Park Jong-su, the president of the Knights Guild, gritted his teeth with a serious expression..
“The problem is that I don't know where they came from..”
Looking at the situation, it was clear that a dungeon break occurred in the sea off Busan..
However, the location of the key gate was not found..
“……Judging by the constantly proliferating skeletons, it seems clear that there is a necromancer type monster behind them that summons these guys..”
“Assuming that it is a boss mob, the location of the boss mob is usually at the very end, that is, inside the gate or near the gate..”
Only then did the speechless leaders rush to open their mouths..
“So our knight guild is doing our best to search for the gate.…….”
“I can't find the location of the gate at all..”
“There is even suspicion that a gate has occurred in the ocean..”
“That can't be possible! Isn't there a precedent for a gate to occur under the sea?!”
“It's only been two years since the cataclysm occurred! A new precedent can always be created.!”
A dimensional rift, gate that connects the Earth and the extraterrestrial dimension..
The mysterious phenomenon would suddenly appear anywhere in the world..
But why?.
Until now, a gate has never been observed in the sea with its constant waves and turbulence..
I don't know the reason, but it was a truly fortunate event for mankind..
No matter how one imagines, the future of mankind, deprived of the sea, could not help but be bleak..
But I couldn't feel safe forever..
2Just as no one could have predicted the cataclysm a year ago, no one can know what unexpected changes will occur in the future..
The hunter who raised his voice at the end was pointing out this very point..
“stop.”
With one word from Lim Tae-gyu, the atmosphere of the hunters who were shouting at each other was instantly resolved..
Those gathered here were the leaders of the Knights Guild, that is, A-class hunters..
Each may have their own strengths and weaknesses, but since they are hunters of the same level, they also had equal rights to speak..
However, even more so, Lim Tae-gyu, the only S-class hunter among them, had a higher right to speak than anyone else..
As the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, Lim Tae-gyu opened his mouth again..
“I agree that we must remain open to all possibilities, but there are limits to the power we can mobilize..”
If the gate really occurred under the sea, this was not a problem that could be solved with the power currently gathered here in the first place..
Lim Tae-gyu's judgment was that if it was not a problem that could be solved anyway, it would be better to exclude it..
“So, we will set up a search team under the premise that the gate's location is hidden somewhere along the coast..”
After explaining the situation, Lim Tae-gyu's eyes moved and made eye contact with Su-ho..
‘Well, you know the situation.?’
Suho read his intention and nodded silently..
“Hmm. In that sense, the tasks we face now are two-fold..”
Then, Lim Tae-gyu suddenly saw Lim Do-gyun next to Su-ho, cleared his throat briefly, avoided his eyes, and continued explaining..
“One is to continue to block the magical beasts that appear endlessly on the coast. Of course, you are doing well now, but we need to send as many troops as possible here..”
Everyone nodded at those words..
To prevent demonic beasts from leaving the beach and flowing into the city center, the more troops the better..
Moreover, the first ones that appear in Dungeon Break are always weaker than the ones that appear later, as if they were a scouting party..
In other words, due to the nature of the dungeon break, there are only skeletons now, but there is a high probability that more and more dangerous demons will appear in the future..
In order to prepare for this, it was necessary to reserve enough power..
“Two, in the meantime, find the location of the gate as quickly as possible. Since this role requires me to go through the crowds, I plan to select only a small number of elite members, led by me..”
At those words, President Park Jong-su raised his hand and asked a question..
“Do you have separate standards for the elite few??”
“yes. Since the main purpose of this job is exploration, we will mainly hire people who are confident in speed rather than combat power..”
‘Speed rather than combat power?’
The moment I heard those words.
Lim Do-gyun’s eyes opened brightly..
And when it was time to select people to volunteer for the search team, I raised my hand..
Lim Tae-gyu was startled by that sight, but then continued speaking in a calm tone..
“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. We ask that only B-level or higher volunteers volunteer for the gate search team. This is very dangerous because there is a high chance of suddenly encountering a boss mob..”
“…….”
But even after hearing those words, Lim Do-gyun had no intention of putting down his hand..
‘I am confident in my speed.’
Because I have a knack for running away..
Seeing Lim Do-gyun's eyes saying he would not back down, Lim Tae-gyu looked at Su-ho, asking him to do something to stop him..
But Suho smiled and raised his hand and said,.
“Although it is not class B, our Woojin guild will also join the search team..”
“……Yes, you do..”
In the end, Lim Tae-gyu had no choice but to nod with a hesitant expression..
Wasn’t the reason Suho came here in the first place to have him join the gate search team?.
However, he never imagined that his son, who was only an E-class hunter, would also step forward..
‘Still, since he is the guild leader, he will be responsible for the safety of his guild members. He even went to the glacier dungeon with me..’
Lim Tae-gyu suppressed his anxious feelings and ended the meeting after delivering detailed strategies to the hunters..
“……Well then, the operation begins now..”
* * *
A total of 20 search teams were formed..
Lim Tae-gyu divided the group into 4 people each, forming 5 groups..
But a problem occurred here.
“1I will be the leader of Group 2, and Hunter Seong Su-ho of the Woojin Guild will be the leader of Group 2. And Article 3…….”
“yes?!”
“I beg your pardon?”
Naturally, the hunters who volunteered for the search team, thinking that Lim Tae-gyu, an S-class hunter, would lead everyone, could not help but be embarrassed..
“No, isn't this different?!”
“I heard that Hunter Seong Su-ho is a C-level hunter.!”
“Our lives are at stake, so how can we do this?……!”
Lim Tae-gyu responded to them calmly, as if this level of dissatisfaction was expected..
“Again, our goal is exploration, not combat. So, from the beginning, I would have told only those with quick feet to volunteer.?”
“Well, that's true though…….”
“What we are looking for is the location of the boss mob, so shouldn’t the minimum level of safety be guaranteed?!”
“you're right. Besides, I am a B-level hunter. Does it make sense to follow the instructions of a C-level hunter??”
“after. At best…….”
Although it was a reasonable complaint, Lim Tae-gyu could only laugh at those words..
“It's Suho. No, CEO Seong Su-ho. Have you gotten re-measured yet??”
“I was busy creating a guild..”
“Be sure to get re-measured after this job. That way, you won't waste your time on such useless arguments.…….”
“If that's the case, I'll take charge of group 2! I'll leave Group 3 to my subordinates..”
“hmm?”
While talking with Suho, Hunter, who was the leader of Group 3, stepped forward with great vigor..
Class A Hunter Jeong Yoon-tae.
He was the vice president of the Knights Guild, and had a close relationship with the president, Park Jong-su, as if they were older brothers or younger brothers..
Jeong Yun-tae looked at each of the 2 trillion won members with a disapproving gaze..
Seong Su-ho is a guild leader and a C-level hunter..
E-class hunter Lim Do-gyun, a member of that guild..
And next to it…….
‘Who is that woman? Are you a hunter from the Woojin guild??’
Next to him, Esil, whom Suho summoned from the shadow dungeon, was included in group 2 as a member of the Woojin guild..
And the other one was a B-class hunter from the Knights Guild..
“Tsk.”
Jeong Yun-tae clicked his tongue and said.
“Compared to the other groups, Group 2's combat power is particularly poor. If this is the case, it would be better for me to move to group 2. Of course, I am the leader.…….”
“Yes, you do..”
“Ugh?”
When Suho obediently accepted, it was Jeong Yun-tae who was rather embarrassed..
Suho transferred the members of the Knights Guild to Group 3 and resigned from his position as leader..
And he pushed the back of Jeong Yun-tae, who became the leader of Group 2 in his place, and said:.
“I'm fine with that, so let's leave quickly..”
“Uh oh?”
Jeong Yoon-tae, who suddenly became the leader of Group 2, felt something strange, but anyway, the four people were decided..
And after a while, Lim Tae-gyu gave his final instructions to the search team that arrived at Haeundae..
“Then, each group will disperse to designated areas. Regardless of whether there is a special situation or not, we will exchange opinions in real time as much as possible..”
“Yes, I understand!”
Jeong Yun-tae responded coolly to Lim Tae-gyu's words, looked back at the two meager groups of hunters he led, and gave an order..
“Team 2 of us will go right through the skeletons and explore from there! Then let's go……!”
Paat!
With those words, Jeong Yun-tae jumped forward at incredible speed..
And in order to keep pace with the group members, I looked back and shouted..
“Never fall behind... … huh?”
there was no one behind.
“huh?”
Jeong Yun-tae turned his head forward again with a puzzled expression..
Then, surprisingly, all the hunters in Group 2 were running in front of him..
‘One thing is fast! This is why Hunter Lim Tae-gyu added the Woojin guild to the search team.!’
Jeong Yun-tae was impressed and also increased his speed..
But what is this??
No matter how hard I ran, I couldn't keep up with their speed.!
Even Lim Do-gyun, an E-class hunter,!
‘This can't be happening?’
Does this make sense??
Jeong Yun-tae was not the only one surprised by the sight..
Even Lim Tae-gyu, who was looking at Group 2 with concern from afar, couldn't help but widen his eyes..
Then suddenly.
Jeong Yun-tae, who came to his senses, hurriedly followed behind the second group of hunters ahead and shouted..
“Wait, wait! There are too many skeletons there, it's safe to come with me.……!”
at that time.
“It's just right.”
To level up.
Suho, who was running ahead, raised his fist towards the skeletons crowding in front of him..
“frigid blizzard.”
Whioooooooo-
At that moment, a bitter cold swirled around, covering the skeletons coming in front of Suho..
Damn it-!
Just like that, a pure white snowstorm swept away the bare bones and froze the waves coming behind it..
[The King of the Yetis and the Lord of the Cold Awakens.]
At that moment, Silad, the Lord of the Cold, who had been in eternal sleep, opened his eyes..
