Chapter 235

[Korean Heroes, Welcome to China!]

[150,000 people say their thanks!  Thank you, Hunter Sung Jin Woo!]

[Korean and Chinese friendship forever!]

There were large banners written in Korean so Jin Woo could read them.

Liu Zhang, who was about to meet Jin Woo, frowned at the sight of them.

Of course, he disliked the contents written on them. Hunter Sung Jin Woo's decision to go to China rather than other countries plagued by the Massive Gates was a breath of relief for China.

At the thought of confronting the monsters that will soon emerge from the gates, Liu Zhang was deeply grateful to Hunter Sung Jin Woo.

But -

When he helped Korea previously, he became exasperated with the reactions of the Chinese people. And that memory was still very much alive in his mind.

'Aren't they shameless?'

Even Chinese people who focused on insulting Korea before, were now busy giving praises to Sung Jin Woo.

So from Liu Zhang's perspective, the banners that covered the entire airport were an eyesore.

'If I did not go to Korea to lead the Hunters, Hunter Sung Jin Woo would not even want to come help..'

Liu Zhang, who clicked his tongue, turned towards the passenger plane that arrived at the airport.

And from a distance he had felt it.

Inside the plane, there was Hunter Sung Jin Woo.

The only Chinese 7-star Hunter, Liu Zhang, felt a chilling sensation coming from the plane's direction, and all hairs from his body stood.

And there was only one person in this world who could put that much pressure on him.

Well, as expected.

Senior officials and executives from the China Hunter Association began to stand up and make a scene as they got reports of Jin Woo's arrival.

'No ... It's not for courtesy.'

They seemed hesitant to say hello.

And, weren't they also part of those who opposed him when he said he would help Korea?

If he wasn't a 7-star Hunter, they might have been able to hold him back.

But, he was a 7 star Hunter.

For this reason, he had to stop these pigs from greeting the fighters who came to this land with their lives as a gamble.

Liu Zhang, whose face was stiff, told the staff beside him.

"Talk to the authorities. I will omit the scheduled speech program, and I will take care of all of Hunter Sung's arrangements and guidance personally."

"Yes? But, these people ..."

The staff hesitated when he saw the executives standing behind him, quietly listening to the conversation between him and Liu Zhang.

But -

Liu Zhang burst out in laughter and stood before them.

"I hope you get away from me right now. Do you have any reason not to?"

Senior officials and executives who were well aware of Liu Zhang's nature fled the waiting room with their tails behind their legs.

Liu Zhang gazed back at the empty waiting room before turning back to the staff.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes ... Yes! I'll call you later."

While the staff rushed to make a call, Liu Zhang walked towards the entrance where people gathered in a crowd.

"Hunter Sung is coming!"

"Take a picture!"

CLICK!  CLICK! CLICK!  CLICK! CLICK! CLICK

The reporters who had been waiting all day to acquire a good spot, saw Jin Woo and began pressing their camera buttons simultaneously.

Jin Woo looked around at the airport's atmosphere with great surprise. It was slightly different from what he had been expecting.

'They said that a hundred bureaucrats would come out ...'

An associate of the Korea Hunter Association who accompanied him also scratched his head.

He couldn't see any of the China Hunter Association staff who were supposed to provide guidance, so for some reason he also felt ashamed as a fellow member of the Hunter Association.

Then.

As soon as Jin-Woo spotted a familiar face approaching him, his lips pulled up into a smile.

"Hunter Liu".

"Hunter Sung."

The two men shook hands and showed an aura similar to warriors on the battlefield.

Jin Woo proceeded to ask.

"Then ... who else?"

Liu Zhang laughed after his interpreter finished translating for him.

"Ah, the Chinese aren't too patient. I didn't want you to see it, so I decided to personally meet and guide Hunter Sung."

Jin Woo sensed that he left out a part of the story, but he refrained from asking because he particularly didn't care about that.

When Jin Woo did not seem to have any further questions, Liu Zhang pointed at the airport door.

"This way."

But -

After taking a few steps, Jin Woo stopped.

Liu Zhang also stopped.

Outside the transparent glass wall of the airport,  a huge part of the Gate covered the sky.

"That ..."

The Massive Gate that appeared in China.

When Liu Zhang saw Jin Woo staring at the gate with a hardened face, he too showed a solemn expression.

"I'm not able to overcome that."

If it was impossible for him, then other Chinese Hunters would also be of no help..

So, he felt deeply glad when he heard the news about Jin Woo's arrival.

Liu Zhang wanted to convey his gratitude to Jin Woo, even just a little.

And while he was unsure how to say it, his sincerity poured out of his mouth.

"I don't know about other Chinese people, but this Liu Zhang will never forget your help."

* * *

When the Gates were about to open, news from all over the world flowed profusely.

[Hunter Sung Jin Woo Chooses Chinese!]

[Japan and Russia decided to support Hunter Sung Jin Woo ...]

[The plane carrying Hunter Sung is scheduled to leave this afternoon ...]

[On the other hand, the white fort, which is found in flooded areas in Japan, is not related to the Gates ...]

[Finally 5 hours left before Dungeon Break. Will the warning of Hunter Sung Jin Woo come true?  If not...]

Jay Mills was on the rise.

Why were the two countries trying to help China?

It was clear.

They wanted to ask Sung Jin Woo for help afterwards.

Weak.

China, Japan, Russia; they were all weak people.

What kind of Hunters were incapable of defending their own country?

What about Canada?

Canadian Hunters have united to defend their country.

'We are not afraid'

That bullshit about getting away from the Gates couldn't shake them; Canadian Hunters were the greatest.

Jay Mills advanced to look proudly at the tens of thousands of Hunters who gathered to join him in the raid.

Wow - ah!

Their morale rose up to the sky.

Public residents were also at a distance quite far away from the Hunters.

[We will not surrender Canada!]

[Screw you!]

[Our Hunters will protect our lives and our country!]

Residents held hands in various pickets and cheered for the Hunters.

Jay gazed at the Massive Gate above him and was confident of his victory.

"Every winner out there will always be a winner!"

When J.Mills turned towards other Hunters and shook their hands, the raging shouts erupted again.

Woow!!

* * *

The Chinese side have also completed their preparations.

As in Seoul, the multinational Union Raid team was now preparing under the Gate.

Among them, there were also one hundred thousand Chinese elite hunters.

As a country with strong Hunter strength, the number of Hunters that gathered from all over the country exceeded 100,000.

Jin-Woo had already warned them.

Dangerous monsters that could easily overpower humans will emerge from behind the Gates.

But -

The number of Hunters who gathered together exceeded a hundred thousand, and they started to believe that this amount was feasible.

Jin Woo then called on his Shadow Army, as if to announce that their calculations were wrong.

"Arise."

The Shadow Army of 130,000 soldiers filled the space behind Jin Woo, which was intentionally occupied in an instant.

Oo-Oh-

The Hunters found it diffcult to breathe after feeling the overpowering aura that radiated from Jin Woo and the Shadow Army behind him.

Beads of cold sweat formed on the faces of the Hunters.

'Different ... they are really different'

Did they come out of the same Gate as this?'

'Nonsense...'

Extraordinary fear crept in the minds of the Hunters.

The elite hunters sensed a strong feeling released by the Shadow Army, as if warning them of the dangers they were about to face.

Even Liu Zhang, who was hard to surprise, found it hard to believe what he was seeing before him.

"All these...are Hunter Sung's warriors?"

Jin Woo nodded.

Liu Zhang felt the power of the Shadow Army like it was an extension of Jin Woo's hand.

'Nice'

Jin Woo looked up at the sky.

Gates were going to open in a few minutes.

And he had to win in order to increase the number of his troops.

That was his first step in this war.

The bustling environment became silent after the appearance of the Shadow Army.

Everyone felt it.

The battle was approaching.

Heavy tension weighed on the Hunters' shoulders.

Gulp -

Jin Woo swallowed the lump in his throat.

Which forces will appear from there?

Then -

"King...."

Jin Woo quickly replied to 『Bellion』 who was about to tell him.

"I know."

Liu Zhan blinked when he saw Jin Woo speaking naturally with his summoned beast.

"Hunter,  I wouldn't advise you to..-"

『Ber』, who decided that Liu Zhang was not needed, blocked his way in the blink of an eye.

Crack -

The extraordinary power of the ant warrior was displayed.

Ugh!

Liu Zhang, who was surprised to see him, rushed to the side.

Jin Woo watched, then whacked the excited ant on the back of his head.

"He's a friend, man."

As soon as 『Ber』 heard him, he lowered his head to Jin Woo, and then backed away, leaving Jin Woo to apologize.

"I'm a little nervous before the fight"

"Take it easy ... everything will be fine"

Hearing that, Liu Zhang gave up trying to understand Jin Woo.

That was because he strongly believed he would never be able to understand this man before him by only relying on his common sense.

At that time.

"Wow, it's open!"

Someone shouted.

And with that, everyone's head turned towards the sky.

Jin Woo's eyes narrowed.

As the person said, the Gate was now slowly opening up.

A tense atmosphere surrounded the  battlefield.

But.

When the Gate opened, nothing happened.

And the person who was most surprised, was Jin Woo.

He tried to focus his senses, but there were no signs from the other side of the Gate.

The gate was empty.

'What?'

The Hunters also began to realize that something was wrong.

Liu Zhang urgently asked the Hunter who was in charge of side contact.

"How?"

"The same applies to other places. Nothing happened."

"So all the Gates are empty?"

"This ... will it be alright ..."

Liu Zhang's head quickly turned around.

And his gaze stopped at Jin Woo.

But Jin Woo's expression was very difficult to understand for someone who had made a mistake.

No.

That wasn't such an emotion.

Even he himself did not understand what was happening.

And the emotional shock felt by Jin Woo shook Liu Zhang, too.

' I ... I made a mistake '

Jin Woo realized that his judgment was wrong, and he bit his lower lip.

Why.

Why did he think the Monarchs would think so simple?

They would have known that he would take advantage of the power of the Shadow Legion.

If his calculations weren't wrong..

Jin Woo, who looked up, turned to Liu Zhang who was talking to the Hunter who was responsible for the communication channel.

"Canada"

"Yes?"

Jin Woo's voice, filled with intensity, rose.

"What happened to Canada!"

* * *

At the same time, the gate in Canada is also opened.

But, just like anywhere else, nothing changed.

The Hunters, who were preparing, looked at each other and stared.

"What?"

"Where's the rain of monsters?"

"Is Sung Jin Woo blushing from shame at this time?"

Then -

Jay Mills, who was aware of something, yelled at the Hunters.

"Shut up!"

After Canada's strongest Hunter gave a warning enlaced with strong magic power, other Hunters immediately closed their mouths.

As the environment calmed down, Jay looked back at Gates.

He knew it.

Even though he couldn't see it well.

Something that looked human was slowly descending from there.

What came out of the gate was just that.

'No, its just one person.'

Jay, who confirmed that it landed on the ground lightly, stopped the Hunter who was trying to approach it.

Gulp -

Unconsciously, he swallowed his saliva.

The closer the distance, the closer he could see his opponent.

It was a middle-aged man with dark red hair and a beard.

His body was wrapped in beautiful armor in reddish silver, from neck to toe.

When Jay approached, the man looked at him and asked.

[Are you the King?]

Even though the man did not open his mouth, his voice rung in Jay's head.

Of course, he naturally understood what was meant.

Jay's heart began to pound.

"Right! Yes! I knew this would happen!"

The reason why Sung Jin Woo was able to make the army of the first gate his own.

This was how they communicated.

"I thought you were a crook, Jin Woo! I knew that!"

Thanks to their anticipation, the situation was still under control.

When he couldn't hold back his excitement, he waved his hand at the Hunters and they cheered as loud as they could.

Wow ah!

Jay turned to the man again.

The man was waiting calmly.

'Asking the first person you meet if he is king, if that is the case, is this a requirement that must be obeyed?'

Jay Mills, who observed the man, not fully knowing whether he was a man or a beast, then opened his mouth.

"If I'm a king?"

He who represented the Hunters gathered here was himself, and even if he proclaimed himself as a king, there wouldn't be any problems.

So he answered with a voice that contained strong self-confidence.

OK.

[Looks like you're not one of them.]

And when the man opened his eyes again, they revealed the eyes of a repitalian.
