Chapter 18

18angry hunting spider(1)

The conditions for the gate's dungeon break to occur are simple..

After the appearance of the gate, the magic power inside begins to expand, eventually causing a crack in the gate..

This is why there is a limit time for dungeon breaks from 1st to 3rd..

The way to prevent dungeon break is surprisingly simple..

Clear the conditions that appear when entering a dungeon to close the gate, or periodically clean the inside to remove the magic that would expand..

In the latter case, it is a method used when intentionally leaving a gate like the Seoul Station gate..

However, as the explanation of the gate was not perfect, there were always exceptions..

The gate that occurred at Cheongju Sports Complex is such a case..

"You bastards! Let's try to win this time!"

"Since we lost 24-3 last week, we lost 8-1 three times, right? Now it's time to win! i saw it!"

1With over 10,000 spectators watching, a gate appeared in the middle of the stadium..

"Ah, I was able to win this time."

After the gate occurred, leaving the audience's disappointment behind, the association's staff measured the gate's grade..

As a result of internal energy measurement, the grade was vermilion. After registering the Cheongju Sports Complex gate through the association's database, a team that targets the gate is selected..

When selecting a raid group, prioritize local guilds..

The raiding unit that can sortie the fastest gets priority, and the next raiding unit that is above a certain level is given the right to bid..

The KPP guild, formed by local native hunters, won the bid for the Cheongju Sports Complex gate, and they entered the gate straight away..

"Brother, this is……."

"I know too……."

KPP guild leader Kim Han-soo and A-class tanker Jo Ho-yeol made subtle expressions as they looked at the gate..

It's wilderness.

It was a desolate world with sandstorms blowing over dry cities..

In fact, there are many gates in this world. The internal scene is a gruesome sight, as if the world has been destroyed, a sight familiar to hunters..

The problem was the civilization level of this gate..

"First of all, at least modern civilization. perhaps… It's a civilization more advanced than Earth.."

Buildings that are in ruins but stand tall. Autonomous robots roaming the streets…….

"It's fascinating. Future world gate."

"Since there is fantasy and martial arts, there is nothing that cannot be said about the future world.."

The world inside the gate was so diverse..

If it is a dungeon-type gate, it is often finished by simply catching monsters and bosses, or even if it is a field-type gate, it is often not implemented beyond a certain distance..

However, as the level of the gate increases, its internal landscape and trends become significantly more complex and diverse..

For example, fantasy type.

There are humans and elves who use swords and magic, and goblins and orcs sometimes appear as enemies..

For example, martial arts type.

Those called the Murim League, Sado-ryeon, or Demonic Cult. Usually, the enemies are Safa or Demonic religions..

In addition, there were various gates such as apocalypse type, arcane punk, and steam punk type..

「New implant released. Replace your useless body with a machine.」

A privilege given to the gate’s intelligent beings and hunters. Jo Ho-yeol reads a poster painted on the exterior wall of a building using the so-called 'perfect translation' function..

He saw it and said to guild leader Kim Han-soo:.

"Guild leader, this is cyberpunk.."

"after……."

Commonly known as Future World. A world where the development of civilization is more advanced than that of Earth.

"It's a pain in the ass. If this is the case, we need to change the party strategy against monsters first.."

Highly developed civilizations inevitably use high-power long-range weapons such as firearms and laser weapons..

This is not an easy task for hunters who have no choice but to rely on individual firepower..

"For hunters with large differences in individual strength, mass-produced types are rather natural enemies. Because physical strength has its limits."

"Yes, but since it is a street fight, you won't have to worry about being surrounded if you manage your stamina while going from building to building.."

Hunters are strong. Even D-class hunters are at a level that surpasses that of most humans..

But in the end, they were living creatures, mere infantrymen, and had physical limitations..

I don't know what type of monster this Cheongju Gate is, but if it's an army armed with firearms, it will be difficult to deal with..

"Let's use the building over there as a base camp. It's quite tall so it'll be good for scouting.."

The 58 members of the KPP guild's attack party entered a small commercial building with about 7 floors among the collapsing buildings..

I got ready for battle and attacked each floor, just in case, but all I saw was desolate ruins and there was no real gain..

"Look at this, guild leader. The clothes here are really amazing. There's a hologram flowing through my clothes.?"

I was impressed when I saw Park Hye-ri bringing clothes from a nearby clothing store, saying they were interesting..

"Hyeri, take care of that. If there's some decent technology involved, it'll be pretty good.."

Civilizations more advanced than Earth may be picky, but that doesn't mean they don't have anything to eat..

Items from civilizations more advanced than the Earth could be used in real life if interpreted well..

Most of them are uninterpretable, but there are cases where reverse engineering is successful, so even now, governments in each country are conducting technology mining at these gates..

"Hoyeol, do you see something??"

"hmm… There really is nothing? There are no NPCs and no monsters in sight.."

weird.

Usually, when it comes to field-type gates, there has to be something, be it an NPC or a monster..

"'Where is ‘Yakt Spinner’? I think that was the boss mob.."

Quest that appears as soon as you enter the dungeon.

「Obtain or destroy the 'Gem of Wisdom' guarded by Yacht Spinner..」

KPP Guild's priority goal is to defeat the boss monster called Yacht Spinner..

The gate closing condition is that the 'Gem of Wisdom' will be appraised and then decided whether to take it away or destroy it..

"I can't see it at all."

"It's strange……."

The weather was shit. But it's still strange that there isn't a single monster in sight, let alone a person, in such a big city..

"Well, I'm glad I'm not dealing with the resistance or the army of an evil dictatorship.."

What on earth does a yakt spinner mean??

"Anyway, make sure to be on guard around your surroundings. Pick a scouting team and draw a map first.──"

-puck

something passed by.

The KPP guild members turned their gaze towards the guild leader who suddenly stopped talking.…….

"Hansoo hyung?"

"Guild leader?"

The entire upper body from the navel to the head. Everything in between has disappeared.

They only understood when guild leader Kim Han-soo's forearm and head fell to the floor..

They just lost their guild leader..

"That's sniping! Take cover!"

Jo Ho-yeol, deputy guild leader, shouted urgently. Hunters who had gone through all the hardships hurriedly hid themselves by leaning against the exterior walls of buildings or stands..

"What the fuck! How could I not even react?!"

Hunters are superhuman. They are beings far beyond human limitations..

They say humanity's firearms are useless at the gate, but that's not true on Earth either..

Although they are much better than ordinary people, even hunters can die if exposed to the high firepower of modern weapons..

However, the deceased Kim Han-su was a class A hunter. As a main tank, he had higher defense and better reactions than anyone else. He couldn't even react and died from a single blow.?

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.!!

Without any time to say anything, indiscriminate shooting rains down on the building where the KPP guild is located..

The heavy hitting sound was not at the level of the weapon that killed Kim Han-soo instantly, but it was heavy enough..

"Kak!"

"Daeoya!"

One hunter disappeared, leaving only part of his lower body behind. Nothing was left behind after the high-velocity cannon with overwhelming destructive power passed by..

"shit! If this continues, you will die! The enemy's location has been identified?"

"Three o'clock! Distance cannot be measured due to sand dust! Lady Bugil! This place stands out so much! I need to come down right away!"

"know! Everyone retreats in order.!"

"What about the guild leader’s body??!"

"Ugh… I'll find it after I get out of the way and get organized.!"

Jo Ho-yeol gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat. Even in the pouring fire, the KPP guild members escaped the building, and this was the moment when Hye-ri, the archer who moved the fastest, came out of the building..

"Wow?"

Hyeri runs out the door with the same momentum she was running and touches her neck, which feels foreign. It tickles. Why is her throat so itchy?──

-patter.

"Hye, Hyeri?"

As they looked at the collapsed body of their colleague, they could not help but notice the drops of blood forming in the air..

"……wire?"

A wire is installed at the entrance to the building. While running without even knowing it was there, Hye-ri literally passed through the sharply forged wire..

'Since when??'

The hunters were horrified to imagine the enemy waiting for their moment to attack from the moment they entered the city..

Who on earth is this? How many people? Since when have they been keeping an eye on themselves??

"shit! Take them all out! I have to escape somehow!"

The hunters' magical power bloomed. As long as you realize that the wire is there, it's just an annoying obstacle..

They tried to escape the city by breaking through with their shields and cutting the wires with magical swords..

Of course, the invisible enemy did not just watch, but fired autocannons and unknown high-velocity cannons to hunt down the KPP guild members one by one..

"damage──!?"

In the brief moment of recognizing something, a ‘wire’ wielded like a whip passes through the hunters’ bodies..

"Wow?"

"Uh oh?"

The three hunters collapsed all at once. The silver thread at the speed of sound splits the fabric..

-Plop! bubbling!

The slaughter was instantaneous, and there was not enough time to even recognize one's own death..

"Show your face, motherfucker!"

Screaming in fear. The sound I made in my throat to survive becomes a death and is buried..

Finally, when only Jo Ho-yeol was left, it appeared, retrieving the wire..

"robot…?"

Eight heavy and thick legs. Camera children watching in all directions without blind spots. A nightmarish design that makes you wonder what would happen if you turned a spider into a terrible killing machine..

"Is it you… Are you a yakt spinner?……."

Jo Ho-yeol stared at the only ‘monster’ that existed at this gate..

Eight red-hot eyes intersect with Jo Ho-yeol's gaze, and the vicious 240mm superelectric accelerator cannon and 60mm autocannon on the carapace stop working..

'Save me… Are you giving it to me??'

He didn't know. Yakt Spinner, who completely neutralized the aptitude factor, made an economical choice rather than consuming ‘limited supplies’..

「how is it? With this, you can fight even if you run out of ammo in an emergency.?」

Auxiliary joints that may have been made for removing obstacles and removing explosives are revealed..

The recovered ‘wire’ is tied to the auxiliary joint. It was released by a mechanical arm and quickly stretched to dozens of meters in length..

"ah……."

I see This has no intention of saving himself. The moment Hoyeol understood that.

-hiss!

A brief moment. The swung auxiliary joint flies the wire at the speed of sound..

The sandstorm died down and the silver threads sparkled in the sunlight. A thin and strong silver line passed where Jo Ho-yeol was..
