C155 - Crouching To Exit the Portal
"How long have they been inside?"
Jin-Woo asked urgently.
The longer they stay inside, by logic, the deeper they enter.
And if so, they are less likely to return safely.
Then the female staff of the association responded eagerly.
"It should have been around two hours"
2 hours.
But right then ...
"Who are you? Are you from the Association?"
Another Guild staff grabbed
Jin-Woo's shoulder and tried to turn him around.
The grip on his shoulder was not strong, but Jin Woo still turned
around.
In this situation, it may be more effective to show your face once you
"If someone asks you, you have to answer ..."
Then the staff stopped talking and looked at Jin-Woo's face.
"Wait a minute, I've seen it somewhere ..."
'Where did I see it?'
The staff, who had
difficulty remembering names, stuttered as if they could not believe it.
"Wait, Hunter Sung Jin-Woo?"
The staff did not expect
him to meet an S-rank hunter in front of a Rank-C Portal.
"But, do you have to hold my shoulder like that?"
Surprised, the staff raised their hands without resistance and withdrew.
"Sorry"
"..."
At this moment, time passed.
Guild staff can not waste time.
Jin Woo looked at the woman's staff again.
"I'll take them out"
The female staff felt strange.
Even when a Portal Rank-B
became a Red Portal, this boy in front of him would laugh inside.
But now I was talking about
people in an ordinary C-Range Portal being in danger.
"What's going on, please explain something to me
"No time for that"
Jin Woo answered flatly.
In fact, you can use "Stealth" and go directly inside.
There were many ways to
escape from his sight and enter through the Portal. but he did not ..
But the reason for not
doing so was because Jin-Woo wanted to take the minimum steps to avoid being
involved in unnecessary disputes.
The woman's lips trembled and stopped several times.
'Is it okay for a guild to
get another Hunter to approach without any evidence in a Portal that has an
official license?'
It was something that had
not originally happened. But when he saw Jin-Woo's eyes, he could not stop it.
"... Enters"
"See you again"
Jin Woo nodded briefly and ran into the Portal quickly.
[You have entered the Dungeon]
Unlike the higher-rated
dungeons in which only the corpses were valuable, there is no by-product
worthwhile in the lower dungeons, with the only valuable mana stones.
That is a familiar sight.
Jin Woo closed his eyes and
concentrated, but could not find the position of the attacking team that
entered first.
'They are dead?'.
Jin Woo shook his head.
But even Jin Woo could not feel where the group was.
He looked carefully at the
interior of the room and felt a sudden sensation.
That is something familiar.
Because it was a room I had seen somewhere.
"Ah."
If ... his memory was
correct, it was similar to the shape of the Dungeon he had experienced when he
was still a Rank-E Hunter.
Double dungeon.
"If so ..."
Jin-Woo then went to the
place where he found the entrance to the Double Dungeon.
'If there is still another entry here, then ...'
"So it's like this ..."
And with that, Jin Woo
understood why he could not feel the presence of the group that entered.
"This Dungeon ... was ridiculously wide"
At that time, Jin-Woo was a
low-ranking hunter, and he needed to walk for almost an hour to get to the Gate
in strange style.
If this Dungeon had the
same structure, it was not surprising that the distance to the hunters was very
long.
It was almost impossible to
find the positions of the low-ranking hunters, who had a weak magical power.
Jin-woo then looked towards the cave.
There is only one way there.
It's a hallway, and it was
dark, just like it was before. But Jin-Woo was not worried.
The state of the senses
that stopped to the limit, revealed the path that was hidden in the darkness.
Jin-Woo's eyes shone like wild beasts in the darkness.
"I can see"
The eyes that adapted to the darkness saw everything.
Hoo-
The funds were quickly
pushed back and pushed again. (Jin-Woo was running so fast that the background
was blurry)
It was a long distance.
But Jin Woo was so fast that it did not take long to arrive.
"I walked here for an hour and then ..."
"Ah?"
Just then, Jinwoo began to feel magical power.
They were the hunters of the raid. Everyone was standing in one place.
At first he thought they
were already in combat or dead, but they were not.
As he approached, he heard a voice.
"So, how do we get in?"
When he stopped at the
place, he could hear the words he had heard somewhere.
It seemed they still could not enter.
If they did, they would not have had time to chat like that.
This time it was the voice of a woman.
"Then what? It's a door that can not be opened with magic."
"Is not it better to go out and contact the great guild and the
association?"
"I think it's a good idea too"
They argued, because the Gate in front of them could not be opened.
That is understandable.
"I do not want to go
back empty-handed after walking for more than an hour." Said a hunter.
Upon hearing that ... Jin Woo said with confidence.
"It's a trap"
The Hunter, who did not pay
attention to Jin Woo until he approached them, suddenly jumped to hear his
voice.
"Ah, you surprised me"
Jin-Woo pointed to the
giant iron door he had once seen, pointing it at a glance.
"A survivor of Double Calabozo".
'Survivor of Double Dungeon?'
The Hunter looked
disappointed when they exchanged glances because the interior was dark, they needed
time to recognize Jin Woo's face.
"Uh?"
"Why?"
"Is not that Sung Jin-Woo?"
"What?"
Everyone's eyes were on the person who said that.
Of course, after everyone saw the face of Sung Jin-Woo
"I understand..."
"Are you sure?"
"A Hunter Rank-S, what are you doing here?"
Jin Woo then walked towards the strange Gate.
The Hunter around the Gate, naturally, stepped back to make his way.
Jin Woo said then, softly touching the door:
"I know what's behind this"
Jin-woo was standing in
front of this door for the second time after a long time, but there was no time
for feelings.
After all, this is where Jin-Woo met the System.
After...
Turning around, Jin-Woo looked at the Hunters and said in a deep voice.
"This place is very dangerous,
from here I'll take care of them, please come back"
"!! Ah !?"
There was a disturbance of someone.
Jin Woo was a Rank-S Hunter
whose face was very famous, and that's his face.
The man who said he could not return empty-handed stepped forward.
"Hey, Mr. Hunter."
He was the master of the
brotherhood of the small and medium dungeons that led this incursion.
"Our Brave Guild got
permission to attack, fairly and honestly, you have no right to ask us to
leave."
"That's right! You're a S-Rank Hunter, right?"
While the Hunter protested, Jin Woo remained silent.
"..."
It is an act of good will to help them.
However, Jin Woo did not
intend to persuade them by explaining them one by one.
"There is no obligation to do it"
I have done enough to save them.
So Jin Woo decided to give them a choice.
After...
Jin-Woo turned to the door and grabbed the handle.
Creack!
He gave strength to his hand, but his strength did not move the door.
'Is this equipped with
magic? ... If not, how could ordinary iron be so hard?'
So
The familiar messages of the system were heard.
[The door of the Cartelon
Temple is now closed] [Please enter the Key]
'It turns out that for this I needed the key'
Jin Woo then took the black key from storage.
Once I put the key in the keyhole, the door opened automatically.
And of course, there was a commotion behind him.
The Raid of the Brave Guild
that had just finished checking how hard the door was, opened its eyes.
"Ugh!"
"What, how did he open it?
Jin Woo ignored his whispers and said coldly.
"I will not stop you,
if someone wants to get in there, they can go in there."
Of course Jin Woo did not forget his warning.
"But when you go
through this door, I can not guarantee you will come back alive"
Those words from Jin-Woo made the hunters freeze.
After all, that was a suggestion from a Ranger S
Who can make fun of him?
However, Guildmaster of the
Brave Guild had gone ahead trying to be brave.
"Let's go".
"..."
Jin Woo did not say anything about that.
The GuildMaster went to the
door and looked at his colleagues, but nobody followed him
Then he stopped at the door
and turned to his colleagues with an accusing look.
Then, Jin-Woo gently opened the door he held to enter.
Kuwoong -!
The great door moved.
The face of the
GuildMaster, which met Jin Woo's eyes for a moment, was disturbed.
He hesitated for a while.
And after gathering courage, he entered.
so
A message appeared before Jin Woo's eyes.
Ring ~ Ring ~
[Access denied]
[If you do not follow the instructions, the goalkeeper will try to
attack you]
That was a very dangerous
and important message, but only the Player can accept it.
The other Hunter could not
hear or see him. Only Jin Woo heard the system warning.
The Guild Master, who knew nothing, eventually took another step.
But then...
A hammer fell on his head.
Bang!
The hammer destroyed the ground beneath the door.
"Go back!"
If Jin-Woo did not grab the
Guildmaster's back and pull him out in an instant, his head would crumble like
mashed potatoes.
"Uh oh!"
"The interior is as dangerous as what has just happened"
Jin-Woo headed to the Raid of the Brave Guild and then continued.
"Do you really want to go in?"
The master of the guild,
who was sitting on the ground, shook his head like a madman.
The guild member then dragged him quickly.
After confirming that all the hunters left, Jin Woo entered.
Ring ~
Ring ~
[The owner of the key has arrived]
* Creak *
Door closed.
Upon entering, the size of
the room was large, with statues of stones that filled the walls.
Everything is the same as what Jin-Woo remembered.
'I'm back'.
His heart became wild.
But now there were clear differences.
Yes, now he is alone.
Jin-Woo began to understand the truth behind his environment.
"These stone statues are not life forms"
Only puppets were carrying someone.
There is only one presence in this room that can emit magic.
He also hid his magical
aura as much as possible, so it was impossible to detect it directly ... Only
the unpleasant feelings could be felt.
Jin Woo then walked slowly towards the statue that gave off that
feeling.
"You are the real one"
Even though Jin-Woo spoke, the statue did not respond.
At the same time that Jin
Woo said that, with terrible speed, he attacked using a dagger and threw it
against his chest.
But...
*Crunch*!
The attack was blocked by the slab supported by the statue.
The dagger was lodged in the slab.
The only stone statue was the one that held the slab.
"At last"
A stone statue with six wings smiled on the slab looking at Jin-Woo.
"You've come this
far." (Note, I do not understand here ... I mean ... I do not know if the
statue asks Jin-woo if it has come this far or if Jin-woo asks the statue that
it finally arrived here ... so I'll leave it like that ... we'll know in the
next chapter)
* * *
Tokyo, Shinjuku.
When the curtain of the Portal opened, the monsters began to leave the
Bang!
Bang!
"Ugh ..."
"Well, what is that?"
He was a giant.
"Giant!"
"They are giants!"
Everyone who looked was
frightened and backed away, only Yuri held a bottle of wine calmly.
"This does not matter".
Although it looked like a simple barrier, Yuri Orlov was sure of his
work.
"Come!"
The prediction was correct.
Bang!
Bang!
The giant attacked the
invisible wall around the Portal, but the wall did not collapse.
Bang! Bang!
They pushed with their shoulders, throwing their whole body down.
and hit him, but Yuri's magic was perfect.
"Uh ha ha ha!"
Yuri laughed at the giants.
A half hour later.
The giant who fought to
break the barrier was exhausted and began to return to the Portal.
The people watching the scene did not know what to say.
"OMG!"
"Did the Dungeon Break monster go back inside the Portal?"
They could not be able to believe it if they did not see it for
themselves.
Even the most experienced
journalists who photographed this scene were speechless.
When the last remaining
giant entered the Portal, President Matsumoto stood up and applauded
*Applaud*
*Applaud*
*Applaud*
Soon the applause sounded
from one to several, became elastic and the elasticity soon became a scream.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW"
Yuri received enthusiastic
support from officials and addressed journalists.
"This is something that only I can do, block a Portal Rank-S"
The blood vessels in his neck were enlarged.
"I pushed a couple of
giant ants towards the Portal! I do not need to explain why I'm the best,
right?"
Without hiding his face, he smiled at the reporters.
But then...
The ground trembled.
BANG!
The magic circle he had installed was also trembling.
"...?"
Then Yuri Orlov realized that the reporters were not looking at him.
Now they were looking at the Portal.
Yuri also looked slowly.
And ... he dropped the bottle he was carrying.
Thud -
"God ..."
Yuri Orlov's eyes widened.
The giant that had just
left the Portal right now, made the previous giant look like a dwarf.
The giant stood up and Yuri
Orlov looked at him several times to make sure what he saw was true or not.
"How ... How can that
giant be so big that he has to duck to leave the Portal?"
However, everyone already knew without an explanation.
The giant was the head of the dungeon.
Kuwoong -!
Other noisy noises rumbled and the ground shook unexpectedly.
Kuwoong -!
Kuwoong -!
Kuwoong -!
It was clearly visible in Yuri Orlov's eyes.
It was a crack ... a crack
that spread like a spider's web in the magic circle that only he could see.
'Amazing ...'
His legs began to vibrate.
The giant monster pushed the wall with his shoulder ...
At that moment!
puuung!
With the roar of something
exploding, the light that illuminated the circle disappeared.
"Uh, uh AH!"
At this moment Yuri Orlov shouted
As soon as the monster
broke the barrier, the monster grabbed Yuri and picked him up.
Yuri Orlov took the giant's hands and fought as he cried in pain.
"AAAAH AAAAAAAAAHh! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
However, when the giant
opened his mouth, his screams could no longer be heard.
Y...
Behind the giant beast that
swallowed Yuri Orlov, the previous giants that had entered the Portal began to
spill.
