Chapter 19

19angry hunting spider(2)

Association Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk's proposal was a welcome one to Leon..

1An impregnable gate that no one has been able to close for two months..

If you target such places, you will be able to spread your reputation in no time..

Leon is willing to accept the offer..

"However, old man. I heard that it was a gate that I had given up on for a while, but why did I suddenly become interested??"

Leon judged the situation calmly while thinking about the reputation he would gain by attacking the impregnable gate..

It is a special gate without the worry of dungeon breaks. There must be a reason for resuming the attack on that place..

"It's common. Isn't it worth it to take risks and attack the gate?."

"Please confess in detail.."

Association President Oh Kang-hyuk smiled bitterly at Leon, who clearly treated him as a subordinate..

He is the president of the Hunter Association and a first-generation S-class hunter representing Korea. It's a living legend.

However, Oh Kang-hyuk, who had been observing Leon for a while, realized that Leon was treating him very well..

The attitude towards so-called 'commoners' including Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri and Director Park of Doojeong Group who approached him..

Considering Leon's high-handed attitude towards them, even this was quite good treatment..

'The one who is disappointed has no choice but to bow down.'

Leon is a being of absolute value simply because he can purify the land contaminated with magical energy. Oh Kang-hyuk can bend as much as he wants for this country..

"The 'Gem of Wisdom', a dungeon closing condition, has been discovered in the United States. It was a reward for the recently cleared Scarlet Gate.."

"It looks like it's worth a lot of money.."

"Yes, that's right. The Magic Tower studied this and proved that tremendous power was compressed. The upper echelons of the association were also encouraged by this.."

In short, I want to secure that gem of wisdom. Even if the sacrifice is great.

"Is there anyone accompanying you??"

"10There will be dispatchers from the Golden Lion Guild, one of the major guilds, and the Magic Tower. I heard that the Magic Tower also decided to send a wizard directly.."

"10It’s a great guild… Can we think of it as the knighthood of this country??"

"Because it does not belong to the country… I guess I'd say he's closer to a mercenary.."

"joy. Are these things that reveal money? Protecting the people is a knight's duty and honor.."

Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk did not necessarily point out Leon’s way of thinking. Authoritarians like this usually get angry at dissenting opinions against them..

The type that is so clear about their own opinions that they ignore everything else..

It may be okay if you don't have the ability, but if the ability is outstanding, it's not something that can be corrected by a third party pointing it out..

"good night. There are just two conditions."

"Just say anything. As long as it doesn’t deviate from our principles… We will support anything."

"Well, it's not a great condition. First, you must reveal my reputation after winning this battle.."

"The existence of His Majesty, the survivor, has not yet been made public. I was planning to make an announcement after Your Majesty has sufficiently adapted to life on Earth.……."

"I figured out the general idea. The situation this Earth is in and your ecology.."

Is it really true? Leon, who lived under such anachronistic and different ideas, was difficult to understand even with the flexible thinking of Earthlings. Would it be easier if it were the other way around?.

"Second is……."

Leon's gaze moves beyond the association president. The association's employees were there... There was also Han Hari..

"W, here it is!"

Hari hurriedly ran over and brought the prepared note..

"This is?"

"This is a list of trainees to be trained at Jim's guild. They're all in a hurry, but that's fine for now.."

The names of several hunters, including D-class hunter ‘Koo Dae-seong’, were written there. In addition, they asked for a three-digit number to be filled with suitable hunters..

The people Leon looked at while conducting the grade test had one thing in common:.

"Most of them are D grade… No matter how high it is, it's still C grade. I don't think a person as strong as Your Majesty would be worthy of attention.."

Oh Kang-hyuk mentioned that he could assign a more promising player to Leon if he wanted, but he shook his head..

"I'm not looking for a knight's lumber. This is enough for now."

"Let's try it out. However, Your Majesty, the choice is theirs, so you cannot force everyone to join the 'pantheon'.."

Even though he said that, Oh Kang-hyuk was confident that they would not reject his offer..

They are all literally floating around. They were low-level hunters who could not enter a decent small or medium guild, let alone a top 10 guild. Will they reject the association president’s proposal??

Oh Kang-hyuk did not see it..

"If I kick away my luck, my luck will run out.."

Leon decided that it wouldn't matter if he refused as Leon did. He was rather confident in how generous and blessed my offer was..

"When will it be possible?."

"Three days later, we will gather in front of Cheongju Sports Complex.."

"good night. I'll show you guys. Dance of the Lionheart King."

Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk smiled bitterly and tried his best to agree with him. He thought that he should give Miss Hari a generous year-end bonus..

* * * *

The Cheongju Gate attack has resumed..

The indefinite suspension of the Cheongju Gate, which rose to the status of a red gate, was an event that attracted considerable attention in Asia as well..

A special gate where three attack teams were destroyed. Even just one yakt spinner.

Unable to overcome that one blow, many hunters turned Cheongju Gate into their grave..

In this way, Cheongju Gate became a burdensome complex for Cheongju City and has become the culprit of anxiety among Cheongju citizens to this day..

-Wow!

It was then. Citizens gathered at the Cheongju Sports Complex began to cheer..

"The golden lion has arrived!"

Starting with cheers from the citizens, reporters fired flashlights at the black vans entering the sports complex..

While association employees are blocking the crowd of citizens, people begin to get off one by one from about 20 black vans..

"Golden season! golden season!"

The man who got off with cheers from the citizens was a huge man over 2 meters tall..

At first glance, he seemed like an intimidating man, but like black rappers in the American continent, he was adorned with gold necklaces and bracelets and seemed like a popular rapper. No, he was actually one of the best rappers in the country..

"I have come~ Citizens of Cheongju!!"

Hwang Geum-cheol, considered one of the hippest hunters in the media, stuck out his tongue and enjoyed the cheers of the citizens..

"You shouldn't do something like that because it's embarrassing.?"

"Fan service~ Fan service~ We need to sell albums and t-shirts."

Hwanggeumcheol smirks at his younger sister who criticizes him. Instead of walking, she took pictures with her fans and signed autographs, and complained about him wasting time..

"If that's the case, why not just be a celebrity? There are a lot of idiots out there who listen to your lame rap. I handed over the leadership of the guild and started an entertainment agency.."

"Dear My Sister, Hunter makes more money."

"love is nimi."

It was then. Even though she is not active in showbiz, she is an A-class hunter and fans flock to her sister who is also a celebrity..

"Wow! Hwang Yeon-ha also has an older sister! Sister! Look here!!"

"I heard that’s true? Dear My Sister Geumsoon?"

"I told you not to call me Geumsoon, you golden pig.."

Now that the name change report has been completed... Hwang Yeon-ha headed to the Cheongju Gate prepared by the association. That's not all.

"Wizard Gil Tae-seong. I'll take you inside.."

"Hmm, thanks for the guidance.."

The wizard of the Magic Tower, Gil Tae-seong, appeared with his chin raised under the polite guidance of the association staff..

He is a promising member of the Korean Mage Tower branch and is a combat mage who is treated almost at the S level in the hunter world where magicians are rare..

And dozens of foreign hunters follow him..

"black mamba?"

"There are over 2,000 mercenary hunters each.?"

"Is Magic Tower that serious??"

A wizard's full power is unleashed when there is a bodyguard. Gil Tae-seong mobilized the Black Mambas, a mercenary group comprised of B- and A-class members, with the full support of Magic Tower..

"Uh, there's another car coming in.?"

"It's an association vehicle.?"

The one who arrived last and got out of the association vehicle was a female prosecutor with impressive braided red hair..

She, who tidies up her suit, was the most talked-about person in last year's Academy Draft..

"Han Hari?"

"Oh, is it really possible that the association is deploying Han Ha-ri??"

Indeed, then it makes sense. A-class hunter Han Ha-ri. She is famous as one of the greatest geniuses in Korea..

There are quite a few A-level hunters in Korea, but what makes Hari particularly noteworthy is his age..

Awakened at the age of fourteen and awakened unique skills during training at the academy. Didn’t he become the youngest Class A hunter?.

A rookie who received a love call from Korea's leading teenage guild with a large down payment, but turned down all offers and joined the association..

Everyone naturally expected her to participate in the war. but…….

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

She bent down into the vehicle and guided someone. And what appeared there, unexpectedly, was a blonde foreigner..

"What is that foreigner??"

"Black Mamba... I don't think so.."

Reporters as well as citizens watching were curious about the man's identity..

* * * *

When multiple forces attempt to attack one gate, prior coordination is necessary..

Who will attack the boss first and how will the items that appear be distributed? Starting with the turn of events, there was bound to be conflict, and there were many cases where the discussion alone took several days..

In that sense, this Cheongju Gate strategy is quite simple..

The boss mob is only one Yakt Spinner, and the reward, excluding mining resources, is only the ‘Gem of Wisdom’..

"Our magic tower will hand over all rewards to the Golden Lion Guild. All we want is the ‘Gem of Wisdom’.."

Hwang Yeon-ha chuckled at the words Gil Tae-seong of Magic Tower said..

"That's the point, if you take that away, what will we do for a living?."

This is the reaction I expected. Gil Tae-seong said with a kind smile..

"I will hand over all the credit for defeating the boss to the Golden Lion Guild. Additionally, if you hand over the jewel safely, I promise you a reward of 50 billion won.."

""……!""

Hwang Yeon-ha was taken aback by the unexpectedly large sum..

500100 million? The legendary level weapon was roughly 10 billion..

Even though he is a semi-S class, he is trying to save money to get legendary grade weapons, but 50 billion is enough to equip not only the weapons but also a full body set..

Giving that much money without hesitation?

'What on earth is that??'

Hwang Yeon-ha hesitated whether to leave the other person. But the golden iron that whistles.

"You come out big. Okay, even if we catch Yacht Spinner, we'll hand over the gem to you guys.."

"Hey, do it like that…!"

"My Sister~ This is something I don’t know anyway. Even the Pentagon couldn't interpret it, so they handed it over to Magic Tower, so there's nothing wrong with us.?"

"……."

Golden Cheol didn't pass up the Jewel of Wisdom because he couldn't guess its value..

I don't know anyway. There is no need to take possession of an unknown object by causing friction with the Magic Tower..

Geumcheol was famous for his toughness and boldness on the battlefield, but surprisingly, he was a safety freak..

"……600100 million. Oh, no, 55 billion. To that extent... I have to ask for it.."

Gil Tae-seong smiled at those words..

"Let’s just make it 60 billion.."

"Hehehe…!"

Hwang Yeon-ha regretted making such a big decision, saying she should have just called for 65 billion won..

It was a time when Gil Tae-seong, who had concluded the agreement with the Golden Lion, was confident of the outcome of this attack..

"By the way, wizard Nari. Don't you negotiate separately with that friend??"

Golden Cheol glanced towards the end of the platform. There, Han Ha-ri, the association's A-level hunter, was pouring tea from a thermos..

"It's called barley tea.."

What historical drama tone? Gil Tae-seong and Hwang Yeon-ha tilted their heads, but Leon put the cup to his mouth in an elegant manner..

"Hmm, not bad.."

"Seong-eun is devastated ahhh……."

Gil Tae-seong said with a smile while watching the two people's skit..

"Come to think of it, he was a hunter dispatched by the association. I wondered what kind of person he was when he said he had to leave a spot.……."

Gil Tae-seong did not consider only two people as an effective force..

Here, including myself, there are 49 Black Mambas, a B-level or higher raid team, and 49 Golden Lions, members of a teenage guild..

Among them, only two. Even if Han Ha-ri is in class A, what is the meaning of two people?.

"I don't want backbiting, so I'll suggest it to the association as well. If we obtain the jewel, we will pay 500 million won to both of you, regardless of contribution. It's not bad?"

"foot…!"

The mockery flowed from Hwanggeumcheol..

"What's so funny??"

"Wizard Nari, this is the person the association sent even though his seat was empty. And that too, with this year’s rookie, Han Ha-ri, as his attendant. I don't know what that means?"

"……Are you saying he’s stronger than a class A hunter??"

At least it's S-level. Maybe S-class. Of course, neither Gil Tae-seong nor Golden Railroad have ever heard of a man named Leon..

But Hwang Geum-cheol guessed his identity..

'A black gate that has recently disappeared. There is a high possibility that he is a survivor who came out from there..'

Usually, strong people who suddenly appeared without any connection were often survivors..

Many named survivors, such as Heavenly Demon, Killing Star, Witch, and Sage, showed similar actions to Leon..

'It was probably some kind of debut exhibition hosted by the association. I can't believe you pushed it through the red level gate..'

Is the association quite confident?.

Gil Tae-seong was the one who thought that far too..

"This is rude... Then we make a new proposal──"

"It's the same."

The first thing Leon said was covered by Gil Tae-seong's mouth..

"What… still?"

All of Leon looked the same. He seemed like he was talking nonsense..

"They're already talking about loot without even standing on the battlefield. Your eyes are full of greed."

"Are you ignoring the magic tower wizard??"

"Is there any honor worth ignoring, like a spellcaster??"

Gil Tae-seong was dumbfounded by the unexpected verbal abuse..

"I don't know how great a dance you guys who are blinded by the loot will show, but... Well, don't leave it up to you guys to lead the way.."

It's as if he's giving in, and he says it in a very unpleasant way. The reason I got upset there was because I was embarrassed..

"what? Leave it to me? So while we're fighting to the death, you'll just stand back and watch with your arms crossed?"

Is it because this is the first informal language I have received in this world? Leon's frown narrowed..

"You're lightly teasing your tongue, woman.."

"What are you saying, kid, let's fight?"

"You have no right to challenge this king.."

"I'm going to be amazed! This is really!"

She got angry and was stopped by Geumcheol, who grabbed her shoulders from behind and pressed them down. He looked at Hari, not Leon A..

-I won't take care of your survivors.?

Hari shakes his head with a sullen expression under Geumcheol’s gaze..

-I tried it. It didn't work…….

-okay. This is because I’m the fuck my way type..

"Okay, your Majesty? So, first of all, the right to attack lies with us and the magic tower.?"

Leon did not answer but silently agreed..

yakt spinner.

Based on the information gathered by the surviving hunters, it appears to be quite powerful, but whether it is a warrior worthy of stepping forward on its own is another matter..

Since he has regained some strength thanks to spreading the faith of Demera, it is unlikely that he will have the honor and skill to deal with him directly..

"I… your majesty. Are you okay??"

"What do you mean??"

"The goal of this attack is to spread His Majesty's fame.……."

If the Golden Lion or the Magic Tower took down the Yacht Spinner, wouldn't that be the end of the story? Hari's point was valid..

"No matter how important honor is, it is not a good look for the Lion-Hearted King to take the lead and set aside the things below him. It could easily become a way to monopolize fame.."

This guy is weird and seems like a really old guy. Hari learned true social life by not saying it out loud..

* * * *

"As you saw in the video... The weather is shit."

Cheongju Gate is a place where a city spreads out in the middle of the wilderness..

A sandstorm blows randomly, and if you delay even a little, you will soon be trapped in the sandstorm. Unfortunately, the raiding party encountered a sandstorm as soon as they entered the gate..

"Do not enter the city. Yakt Spinners appear with a higher probability the further you go inside.."

Based on information from the raiders that had been destroyed so far, Hwanggeumcheol set up a base camp outside the city rather than inside it..

There are quite a few buildings on the outskirts of the city, so setting up a base camp is not difficult..

"your majesty! I have prepared a place for you over here.!"

"Are you coming?."

A large building that makes it easy to gather in one place and keep an eye on the surroundings. Hari took a seat inside and opened the lunch box..

"Your Majesty, I have prepared you some food that is lacking. Please eat it.!"

"It is not enough to complain about military supplies on the battlefield.."

Hari looked somewhat anxious while preparing the meal..

"How can you do that?."

"Umm… I'm worried even if it works out well, and I'm worried even if it doesn't work out well.."

If everything goes well, Leon will have less room to play..

If it doesn't work out, that's the worst thing..

"In fact, it would be best if things worked out without your Majesty needing to step in.."

Even as he said that, Hari glanced at Leon. It was because King Sim, this anachronistic lion, was afraid that he would be scolded by asking if he was paying his respects because he had no chance to make a name for himself..

"yes, that is the best thing to do."

"yes?"

"The fact that the Lionheart King does not step forward in person means that the severity of the matter is that light. What do you think the king's role is in my kingdom??"

"note… Governing role... Isn't it??"

"That's obvious. However, this can also be replaced by anyone. Unless the person has quite a few flaws, it will be similar.."

The Lion-Hearted King makes remarks that cannot be made in a country with absolute monarchy, such as the fact that everything a king does can be replaced..

"Well, then… Standing at the forefront as the king of knights... ah."

He was at the Honam plains gate, at the Seoul Station gate... Even at the current Cheongju gate, I have never been the first to go out..

He continued to make his case through action. The king's sword is never stretched out in a trivial battle..

"no way… The title of Lionheart King is……."

"It's the last resort."

Hari swallowed his saliva at those words..

Until now, she and the association had viewed Leon as a barbaric king from the Middle Ages. With the power of faith called holy power,.

However, according to his words, Leon is not just a ruler. He was neither a tight-lipped knight nor a general.

Lionheart Kingdom's Last Bastion.

In other words, his departure meant that the ultimate weapon would be deployed..

"Do you understand? The fact that the Lionheart King has to come forward in person is a disgrace to the knights and means that the situation is serious.."

As he said that, he let out a rare sigh..

"Coincidentally, it looks like I will have to work hard this time on behalf of you pathetic and weak people. I miss your Knights of Glory.."

It was an eerie prediction..

As if something big is happening that he needs to step up..

"However, there is an S-class Hunter, Golden Iron Hunter, and a magic tower wizard here.."

There was only one opponent. Although it is a killing machine that has achieved terrible results so far, what can it do against a raid team that includes S-class hunters and wizards?──

"Did you say hunters? I'll admit that they're pretty strong for an ordinary human being.."

Leon snorted and laughed at the superhumans of modern Earth..

"But they don't know war. Has the outskirts been safe so far? I'm confident that I'll do well after only having fought three times.."

"yes? what is that……."

"You guys call yourselves the raid team. Find out the monster's pattern and respond to it. How ridiculous is this?."

I'm anxious.

There is a strange trustworthiness in his words..

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"A general learns to be flexible and adapt to the situation. There is no pattern there. In my opinion, that Yacht Spinner is a born warfighter.."

And as if it were a promise, the proof begins..

-Wow!!

-What, what is this?!

-I am the enemy! He attacked──!

A scream that rings clearly even in a sandstorm. A scream mixed with the sandstorm rang out eerily..

Yacht Spinner,

raided the camp.
