C166 - Japan In These Moments

The Hunter Bureau of EE. The UU has moved its Asian branch to control the current situation in Japan.

The helicopter, which left the security zone, flew over Tokyo.

A senior officer of the Hunter Bureau who spent his life watching such scenes, looked down and bit his tongue.

"That's terrible."

The conditions in Tokyo were even worse than he thought. The city was completely destroyed by the breakup of the dungeon (Dungeon Break).

Buildings that have lost their shape, cars that collapsed like pieces of paper, broken streetlights, fire, smoke, traces burned and structures that have turned into ashes.

Is there a more appropriate word than 'pain' to describe this?

The officer's brows furrowed.

If someone asked him if he had seen hell, he could say yes now.

But he was not here to mourn for the lost city.

His mission was to find out what was happening. While filming everything on video, he asked the Japanese personnel who were at his side.

"The bodies are not visible compared to the degree of destruction of the city, right?"

While he was being trained at the Hunter Bureau, the officer had seen the S-Class Portal on Jeju Island.

The island of Jeju was full of corpses in every street. Residents who could not escape the island were annihilated by the ants.

It was one of the worst accidents in history, and the Hunter Bureau had a record of the accident.

Meanwhile...

Tokyo had even fewer corpses, although the city had been completely destroyed, it was difficult to find traces of dead people.

Afterwards, the Japanese staff said.

"The giants eat their bodies, so there are few corpses in the whole city."

The person next to the officer was a young male staff member of the Japan Hunters Association. The American was able to guess the kind of difficulty the Japanese had recently ...

"However, these monsters are moving as if they were trying to erase all traces of humanity in Japan, they destroy the buildings, the humans eat them and even the trees planted in the streets tear them away."

*Assent*

The officer nodded.

The officer also agreed with the statement of the Japanese personnel.

The giant beasts of a S-Class Portal were different from the others.

Other beasts tried to kill only humans, but these beasts were destroying everything in sight.

Only the remains of civilization remained destroyed where the giants passed. You could not see a building or an intact house anywhere in Tokyo.

"However, thanks to this, the people had time to escape."

'Thank you?'.

The staff member of the association smiled shyly.

Should people be grateful to be able to escape or be saddened by the fact that the beasts destroyed all visible things?

The employee's heart was full of complex emotions.

The officer looked at him and thought.

'Do not go crazy'

In just a moment, the capital of your country has been mutilated.

The sense of loss on the part of the Japanese would not be surprising.

After all, only eight years ago, the western part of the United States. The

UU  also suffered a crisis for a boss-class monster named Karmish, which came out of an S-Class Portal.

South Korea, a neighboring country of Japan, also had a similar problem, only now, after four years, the island of Jeju was recently recovered.

The fierce battle of Jeju Island was seen by the officer through a video.

In the video, the part that most affected the officer was when Sung Jin-Woo appeared, and with his shadows, they killed all the ants, including the mutant ant.

However, this chapter of the history of Asia ...

It was not a confrontation between the small Korean nation and the monsters, but the representation of humanity and monsters.

Y...

Now here on this earth, Japan, no ... the battle of humanity and the monsters was happening again.

However, the result was this ...

Tata Tata-Tata-!

The sound of the wings of the helicopter was strong, but the situation was so serious that the noise was so unimportant.

He felt angry and frustrated.

But there was nothing he could do. He simply did everything he had to do.

Afterwards, the officer, with his camera, began to see outside from the helicopter ..

Then he was surprised to find something ...

"Ugh! Well, that's ...!"

The staff quickly raised the sweaty officer ...

There is still a giant there! "

In the center of Tokyo, which had become ruins, there was an erect giant, one of the largest creatures that the officer has surely seen.

'Is that a giant? ... '

Afterwards, the helicopter approached according to the instructions of the personnel.

The officer asked with a pale face.

"Hey, is it okay if we get so close?"

The officer already explained to them that all the giants had left Tokyo, and Tokyo was now 'safe'.

But no matter how much you think about it, is not it very different from the explanation?

Afterwards, the staff said they did not have to worry.

"It's okay, it's 100 percent sure, unless you attack it first, you can see it from a distance."

*drink*

The officer swallowed.

Did some observations reveal that?

It was easy for the staff member to say it, but how many were sacrificed by that giant to reach that conclusion?

Anyway, it was important for him to gather information about the class S beasts and inform his country about the real situation in Japan.

So I had no choice.

He looked at the giant with wide eyes.

He found his familiar face.

'Yes...'

That was the giant who broke Yuri Orlov's barrier with his body.

Unlike the other giants that scattered everywhere, this giant beast, considered by many as the boss, remained here.

The Japanese employee said with a bitter look.

"From your point of view, do you think you are watching the Portal?"

"I think so."

Afterwards, the staff also said ...

"But it also looks like he's waiting for someone."

"Is that so?."

The officer's gaze returned to the giant.

Indeed.

In a way, that seemed. It is not an exaggeration to say that because the staff said that.

While the two men talked about the chief-class giant, the helicopter

reached the limit.

The giant stood still while the helicopter floated above his head.

The giant looked so kind as if he did not even recognize the existence of the helicopter.

However, the staff explained that the giant would not attack at all.

"Attack anything that is within your reach"

Is it true that we have learned from some observations huh?

Then, the last scene of Yuri Orlov overcame the officer's mind.

The rapid and strong movements of the giant boss, who broke the barrier and grabbed Yuri Orlov, surprised everyone. Yuri's death was broadcast live that way throughout the world.

But nevertheless...

The Hunter Bureau report ruled that Hunter Yuri Orlov was ...

- A man who gave himself up to wealth and fame.

Although he could not get the money from Japan, he became one of the most famous hunters in the world.

'However, I do not know if that was the result he would have wanted'

While the officer was frowning over the latest from Yuri Orlov, the staff said

"Sure, it's also one of my conjectures."

Conjectures ...

"Good..."

The officer nodded and the staff said again.

"If you looked at the giants well, one would realize that these monsters behaved as if they did not have life, that is, they behaved as if they were machines."

"Machines ..."

The officer did not agree with that opinion.

Just seeing the giant up close was simply overwhelming. The officer could never think of it as a machine because he felt so oppressed that his heart was suffocating.

But right then ...

* Shtttt *

The giant's eyes went towards here.

Ugh! "

The officer once again took a photo nervously. Afterwards, the staff quickly calmed him down.

He told him to rest assured.

"If we keep distance, he will not attack us."

The officer nodded. He thought that his heart was falling.

The camera, which was raised late, recorded the monster in detail. The screen moved little by little because the helicopter was moving fast.

The officer who thought he had enough data asked.

"How many giants came out of that door?"

"A total of 31 giants came in. Except for the boss who is here, they are evenly scattered everywhere."

... "How many of them have been killed?"

"Only two"

"So now 28 giants are destroying Japan"

"Now that there are no more hunters left to fight against the giants,

everyone hastened to flee"

The staff's face was dark.

On the day of the dungeon break, all the hunters who came to the battle and gained time for the residents of Tokyo to evacuate, were dead.

But as a result, two giants were killed, but there was no way to prevent the remaining twenty-eight from reaching the entire country.

There was a reason why the Hunters' Association, which was busy with all this, sent a staff to respond to the requests of the "Hunter Bureau".

Therefore, at that moment.

"Why are you doing this?"

The officer jumped up, as the staff had knelt with their foreheads on the floor of the helicopter.

Now that everything was done, there was no pride or dignity left. If saving everything meant losing pride and dignity, in these times of crisis ... would not it be better to lose pride and dignity?

Afterwards, the staff told the officer.

"Please help Japan."

*Pause*.

The officer, who was about to lift it, stopped. He could not respond to the spirit of the staff.

The staff once again excelled in fluent English and said.

"If the United States does not help, Japan will die, was not Japan always a strong ally of the United States, would not they be willing to sacrifice only once for their allies?"

It was not clear if it was the individual's will or an order from the Japanese Hunters Association. However, no matter what, the enthusiasm was clearly within reach.

The officer, who seemed to be worried and annoyed, said with difficulty.

"We will ask for support to the headquarters".

"Thank you thank you very much".

Although the officer said that to the staff of Japan, but ...

Will the United States make a move to help Japan when these also lost some high-ranking hunters in the battle with Karmish?

'Probably not'.

But how can you tell a young man who would bang his head on the floor for the sole reason of getting help for his country that was already

collapsing?

*Sigh*

'I will leave everything to the will of heaven'

Afterwards, the officer involuntarily looked at the sky.

The heavens have been, will be and always will be, as they always were.

The officer continued looking towards the sky and muttered inwards.

'God ... Please, do not abandon human beings.'

* * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * *

Jin-Woo jumped slightly and went to the Ahjin guild office.

His eyes that were full of joy looked a little up from the front and as usual, he was doing his daily tasks that the system had for him while he was going to the guild.

Ring ~

[Distance so far: 10Km]

[Full 10Km]

Although Jin-Woo had dealt with the system designer, nothing was different than usual.

The system was still maintained, and the daily quests / tasks came as soon as he opened his eyes as usual.

He was also in his best shape.

Thanks also to 'black heart', his body was full of vitality ....

But...

There were more than a few questions that he could not resolve due to the disappearance of the statue.

'What was that video (/ memory /)?'

He understood that it was the condition for obtaining the 'black heart', but everything else was a mystery.

And what were the other monarchs he cried for before he died?

He went deeper in his thoughts.

But suddenly...

"Hey, wait a minute!"

"Yoo Jin-ho! Let me ask you a question!"

Jin-woo heard a noise from a distance.

Then he saw a crowd of reporters in front of the building.

Yoo Jin-ho was surrounded by them and could not do anything.

He seemed to have been caught on his way to work.

The reporters were bombarding him with questions.

"Did you know about the disaster of the Hunters Guild, Yu Jin-ho?"

"As vice president of the Ahjin Guild, please say something."

"How did Hunter Sung Jin-Woo arrive?"

"Japan is in a riot right now, did Sung Jin-woo say he plans to help Japan?"

AHA

Jin-Woo nodded.

The reporters could not interview Jin-Woo, so they caught Yoo Jin-ho for questioning.

He had to help, but he noticed something and stopped.

laughter?

Jin-Woo realized that Yoo Jin-ho's expression was not bad.

While pretending to be hard on the outside, the expressive expression of swallowing laughter was caught momentarily by the extraordinary eyes of Jin-Woo.

Jin-woo laughed and laughed.

"Jin-ho, you like this, right?"

'What should I do then?'

'I use 「Stealth」 to go to the guild office in silence or go home?'

However, at that very moment, a car stopped behind Jin-Woo.

Surrr-!

One of the windows of the car was down.

"Are you the hunter Sung Jin-Woo?"

With the voice of the unknown man, Jin-Woo looked back without thinking much.

But...

'What?'

Jin-Woo's eyes widened a bit as he saw the owner of the voice.
