Chapter 2
2flower black gate
A gate opened in the middle of Seoul.
This in itself is not that rare..
Since gates opened across the globe 30 years ago, including Jamsil Gate, Namyangju Gate, and Songdo Gate, it has now become routine for gates to appear in the middle of the city..
The problem is the level of the gate.
"black……."
A ‘non-standard’ rating that is excluded from the World Hunter Association’s official measurement rating..
Since it is measured by the amount of energy within the gate, it boasts a hit rate of 99.9%..
The Korea Hunter Association made full preparations for this. We requested support from the World Hunter Association and requested gate entry from the country's leading hunter guilds..
"Fuck you guys... I'm only busy like this."
"Is this something that hunter guilds do once or twice?."
At the words of Manager Kim Jin-su of the Hunter Association, Han Ha-ri, a member of the Hunter Association, expressed that it was nothing new..
13A black gate that appeared for the first time in years. Large domestic guilds refused initial entry and took a wait-and-see approach..
In a way, it's natural. Even the Grade A gate, Vermilion, often causes numerous casualties. However, it is not the red of the S grade, but the black of a non-standard grade.?
No large guild wanted to waste their precious power on a gate with immeasurable risk..
In the end, the government-affiliated Hunters Association had no choice but to step forward directly to check the condition of the gate..
The advance team enters first, assesses the risk, returns with as much information as possible, and distributes it to large guilds..
It was also a standard method because there were great benefits to strategy if you were familiar with the prior information properly..
The problem is that the advance team must enter without any prior information..
"Hari… Are you okay??"
Manager Kim looked worried as he looked at Hari, who had followed the Hunter Association's advance team..
It was a dangerous preliminary reconnaissance mission. The association made such a solemn decision that they only selected applicants and left behind a will..
It was such a pity that a promising new member of the association, only in his 20s, would step into such a place..
"are you okay. Among the applicants, I am the only A-level hunter. There shouldn't be one proper person.."
"Still……."
Class A hunters are definitely a big force. Above all, there were almost no A-level hunters belonging to the Hunter Association..
Because those talented hunters joined large guilds..
"For the safety of citizens and the well-being of the country! Isn't that the motto of our association??"
"……foolish bitch."
She is one of the few prospects in the association..
In modern Earth, where large guilds have absorbed talent, hunters who volunteer to become government officials are usually D or C level. Even my car was only a B class..
A promising class A hunter who applied for a job at such an association as soon as he graduated from the academy. If trained well, he is a talented person who can aim to be the only S-class hunter other than the president of the association..
I wanted to tell them to go back for the sake of the future, but the advance team's strength is too low to send them back like this..
13This is the first black rating in years. Even though it was a selection mission that would have been insufficient even with an S-class hunter rather than an A-class hunter, there was only one A-class hunter, Hari..
"after… Please pray that you come back alive.."
-Entering! Everyone, get ready.!
* * * *
"Hmm… Is it really a field type gate?."
The inside of the gate we entered was a mess..
Some of the gates were in ruins, as if they had been destroyed, but the black gate through which the Association's advance team entered was beyond their imagination..
First, the sky turned bright red..
The bright red sky is nothing like the color of a sunset or anything..
It was an eerie red, as if the sky had been turned upside down..
There was not a single blade of grass visible on the ground. It is so dry and desolate that one wonders if this place really used to be alive..
"Oh my, this is my first time seeing a gate like this. Where on earth are we??"
"Relax, Harry. It's been 13 years since the unmeasurable gate opened. I don't know what will come out."
"i know… But what is it about this world that it can't even be graded??"
"I don't know… Aren’t there even high-level devils??"
"Don't say anything terrible.."
It was then. A message window was sent to the hunters belonging to the association who entered, including Hari..
[gate mission]
The mission system window that emerged after gates appeared in the world and hunters awakened their magical powers..
It is a valuable system that informs hunters who have entered the gate of the minimum information about the gate and the goal of clearing it..
"And, manager…."
"fuck……."
However, the hunters who checked the system window trembled with pale complexions..
[Hunt all demons.]
remaining devil : 117 / ????????
"devil……."
A race that occasionally appears in high-level gates among many gates..
6Kanbala, a high-level demon who appeared at the Scarlet Grade Gate a year ago, also killed South Korea's S-class Hunter Go Jin-hyuk..
Is that all? 22 years ago, the appearance of the great evil Skajacaria or a monarch-level demon that occurred in China always caused terrible disasters..
"Fuck! Fuck! I need to get out now!"
"Manager!"
In the worst situation, even veteran Manager Kim fell into confusion..
Among the many gates, this gate is the Demon Gate where devils appear..
"Even if you kill those bastards, they won't die.!"
It's not really an immortal being. only to be resurrected.
22The great evil Skajacaria, which appeared at Demon Gate in Shanghai, China, a year ago, has been subjugated more than five times so far..
However, the Demon Gate does not disappear, but is resurrected every four years, causing a dungeon break..
"Calm down, chief. Even if there are devils, there are only 117 of them. You might be able to finish it surprisingly easily.."
"That's more of a problem! There are only 117, but a black grade has appeared! Even if we take that as a minimum, we have to say that there is an arch-devil.!"
The level of a dungeon is determined by the amount of energy in the dungeon..
Even though there were only 117 demons, the fact that their level was black meant that each and every one of them was extremely powerful..
Above all, if it was a Demon Gate of the Great Devil level, there was a concern that the dungeon would not be closed and would remain permanently like the Shanghai Demon Gate..
It's terrible. Didn't Shanghai just become a ghost town because of the Demon Gate?.
"Retreat first! We need to inform the association about Demon Gate.!"
This is not something that can be done with a team of less than 20 people..
This was when the party leader, Manager Kim, decided to retreat..
"Manager! Look over there!"
Direction pointed by one hunter. There, a large masked devil was looking down at the hunters..
"Damn… It's a great sword!"
Lesser Demon Great Sword.
A demon about 1.5 meters tall with a sword bigger than his body..
However, even though he is a low-level devil, he cannot let down his guard. Among demons, the great sword has particularly powerful attack power..
As the name suggests, if touched by a great sword attack, it caused unstoppable bleeding in the human body..
"iced coffee……"
And there wasn't just one great sword.
Great swords appear one after another. In addition, the number of other demons has already exceeded one hundred..
"Hey, they're already causing a dungeon break.?"
For any gate, there is a grace period until the mission is cleared. But as soon as the gate opens, they come rushing in like this.?
-It's the gate! It's the gate!
-I lived, I lived!
-Run away, run away!
Demons rejoice, making bizarre cheers. The hunters grabbed their weapons as they saw the demons running out of breath..
"Everyone, come to your senses! Don't let the demons get past the gate! If they go over to Earth, they can hide right away.!"
Characteristics of demons.
They disguised themselves as humans or hid in human shadows..
Because even if just one demon sneaks in, something terrible can happen, the rule is that the Demon Gate must be closed within the gate..
"Set up your display! I'll be in the lead!"
"Hariya!"
Despite Manager Kim's dissuasion, Hari drew his sword at the forefront..
It would be suicidal for her, who is not even a tank, to take the lead, but she was needed to encourage the hunters who were currently gripped with fear..
-Run away! run away!
-I want to live! I don't want to disappear!
Demons rushing towards us, whispering in an unknown language. The first one to run to the front was Hell Hound..
Although it is the lowest level demon, it is a quadrupedal beast whose speed is faster than that of a car. They rushed towards Hari, out of breath..
-Kyaaaaa!
A jumping hellhound. Hari imbued his sword with magic and cut down the hell hounds..
The sword loaded with magic easily cut through their skin, and the hellhound struggled in pain..
'It was great! It's off to a good start!'
Killed four at once. At a time when he was hoping that his morale would rise after seeing his struggle, the hellhounds with split bellies started behaving strangely..
"What, what??"
The hellhounds, who must have been fatally wounded, ran steadfastly with blood pouring out. As if trying to somehow get over the gate..
"Block it!"
But that was blocked by the hunters who set up the display..
It's not just hellhounds. The great swords also collided with the hunters in front and crawled towards the gate without even responding..
-It's coming! coming!
-It's coming! He's coming!
-no! Run away! beyond the gate!
"Well, what is it??"
"Did these guys take drugs as a group?……."
Thanks to this, the demons were easily defeated, but the hunters, including Hari, could not shake off the uncomfortable feeling..
No matter how much time passes, they will be resurrected, but why do they rush at me so ignorantly? As if 'running away''.
"Hariya, damage.!"
It was then. bang! And something attacks the ground. With just the aftermath of the shock wave, something overwhelming swept across the terrain, sweeping away everyone, including Hari..
"Big black…!?"
Hari rolling around on the ground. Grabbing her dazed mind, she checks to see what happened..
"What the heck……."
Something fell. Hari was able to figure it out right away..
"ah……."
Something huge comes into view.
Torn wing marks and an ax so large it exceeds that of a human being..
Red skin and a murderous gaze that I don't want to see even in my dreams..
"iced coffee……."
Great Devil.
winged giant.
The nightmare of the Demon Gate that tore even S-class hunters alive..
"Move over, lowly things! Before I kill them all!"
The devil overwhelmed the hunters with a horrifying sound..
The hunters were oppressed by the energy he gave off and did not dare to move..
"Okay, it's over.."
Legs not moving and out of breath. Despair and fear weigh on everyone..
"Oh, no. If that guy goes to Earth……."
It must be stopped. What if such a monster causes a dungeon break in the middle of Seoul... 10 million citizens at risk!
"no."
Hari raised his sword. He forcibly dragged his motionless leg. She stood in the face of irresistible despair.
"To an insignificant human subject…!"
The Great Devil clicked his tongue as he looked at Hari standing in front of him. But strangely enough, I don't feel any murderous intent. The feeling he feels is urgency..
"Get out of the way, bug.!"
A light blow, literally swung as if trying to swat away a bug. Hari concentrated all his magical power to stop the axe attack.…….
"gasp?!"
I was thrown out of the gate with just one hit..
"Hehehehe…!"
The ground becomes a weapon in itself and cuts up Hari's body. I realized it with just one hit..
monster.
that is a monster.
I realized it with just one hit..
It was grand enough to break even the will to survive..
"Ugh……."
At a time when the dying embers were shaking precariously, a human figure stopped in front of her..
At first, I thought it was Manager Kim. However, in the field of view, the association's hunters were seen unable to move because they were overwhelmed by the power of the Great Devil..
Manager Kim, a veteran, was also shaking and unable to move. The head of the great devil rolling on the floor.
"uh?"
What's rolling in front of me right now... Is this the head of the great evil that caused them despair just a moment ago??
"Yes, Lionheart King! no! no!"
A screaming great devil. He writhed in pain, burning from the cut edge. That's not all. The demons around were also trembling in fear..
"Uh oh?"
The appearance of the Great Devil was strange. In the recorded video, the great devils, as usual, predicted resurrection and cursed humanity..
But what about the devil in front of me now??
"no! no! The law... ! My soul... disappears!"
They scream and struggle desperately as if they are facing real death..
"ah……."
i get it.
The demons didn't come here to cause Dungeon Break..
To live... He ran towards the gate in a desperate attempt to escape from someone..
Who on earth? Who can make those cruel demons, those infinitely resurrected demons, tremble??
"This is the last time for you guys.."
He was a naked man..
Am I looking at something in vain??
A man in this ruined world, wearing nothing and holding only an old longsword..
Nevertheless, the light shining from his halo is graciously holy and brilliant..
"Stand up, you courageous one.."
The only thing that came out of the madman's mouth was an old-fashioned way of speaking that exuded elegance..
The tone that came out, the attitude, the posture… Everything covered the man's outfit..
Just hearing your voice revived the dying embers.
"ha ha ha……."
What on earth is this? What about the man in front of me?…….
"Now is not the time to faint... stand up and fight."
I feel like power flows into me just by hearing my voice. Overflowing vitality and vitality lifted my injured body..
"you are… Who are you??"
In response to Hari's question, the man with brilliant blonde hair spoke with a solemn expression..
"Jim is the lion-hearted king. The king of glorious knights and the one who carries out the will of the pantheon. Leon Dragonia Lionheart."
the man held the sword.
[Defeated all demons.]
remaining devil : 0 / ????????
