Chapter 236

"I still haven't heard from Canada ..."

When the Hunter in charge of communications said that, Jin Woo quickly took out his cellphone.

Who'd be able to provide him with information quickly and accurately at this time?

Jin Woo, who scrolled through his phone's contact list, finally chose to

call Adam White, the special agent from the Hunter Bureau.

Jin Woo was worried about what would happen if things got dragged out for too long.

"Hunter Sung Jin Woo!"

On the receiving end, a nervous voice answered Jin Woo's call.

Because there was not enough time for pleasantries, Jin Woo asked shortly after the call was connected.

"Adam. I want to know what happened to the Massive Gate in Canada ..."

Then -

From the far side of the receiver, cheers could be heard.

The voices were far away, and Jin Woo himself had difficulties hearing it.

Come on, this was an emergency.

Jin Woo asked again in a serious voice.

"Where are you now?"

"We are at the scene of the Massive Gate in Canada."

"Why are you there!"

At the sound of Jin Woo's voice, Adam quickly answered without hiding his shame.

"We are not at a situation where we can watch the Massive Gate up close like others.. We have many agents hanging around here at least."

And, they were also at a safe distance. If something happened to the Canadian Hunters, they could run away immediately.

Hearing Adam's response, Jin-Woo grew frustrated.

'I warned you ...'

He himself couldn't even guess what kind of enemy will appear.

But -

Still, Adam's words seemed to prove that his warnings had been inaccurate.

Jin Woo gathered his composure and then asked him carefully,

"At the Gate ...has nothing changed?"

"Yes. Looks like the Gate is empty, just like anywhere else."

'Thank God.'

Jin Woo sighed with relief. If that was the case, there was a possibility that the events he had predicted could be diverted from the world.

He seemed to have made a mistake.

But then.

"Huh? Wait."

Adam's voice, which was somewhat piercing, surprised Jin Woo.

Why did his feelings of relief have to disappear in an instant?

Adam then quickly explained the situation.

"Right now! Something is coming down from the Gate. What? What? That's a person ... One person got down from there! "

Jin Woo's heartbeat, which was previously calm, once again took a turn.

'Someone ...?'

A number of thoughts danced around his mind for a moment.

And suddenly.

Jin Woo asked loudly.

"Hair!"

There was a distance between the current location of Adam and the scene.

If so, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to see in detail.

"What is the color of his hair?"

"Wait, wait a minute ..."

After a while, Jin Woo heard Adam's voice as he seemed to go borrow some special equipment from his fellow agents nearby.

"Black and red ... very red hair."

Oh, my God.

Jin Woo's eyes widened.

"Adam! Run! Hurry and get away from there!"

"Yes?"

Before Jin Woo could answer his question-

Kwagagagagagagagagag!

A terrible sound was heard from the side of the receiver.

"Oh, my God!"

Adam's voice was filled with surprise and sorrow.

"Adam!"

When Jin Woo shouted, Adam shrieked in panic.

"The Hunters! All the Hunters in the front row quickly turned into

charcoal! T-the fire on their bodies is still burning. Oh, God! "

"Adam, Adam! It's okay, you have to escape now. You have to get out soon and leave that place."

Jin Woo tried to calm him down, but Adam seemed to have lost his mind.

"Jesus ..."

With a pained voice, Adam continued to describe everything he was seeing and hearing. He did it to fulfill his duty.

"Dragons in the sky ... Many dragons are coming down endlessly! There are all kinds of monsters mixed up, too. This, this ... "

Jin Woo felt the dreadfulness in Adam's voice.

Jin Woo, who could no longer bare to listen further, immediately tried to contact the Shadow Soldier he had planted into Adam's shadow.

'Okay.''

Jin Woo gained the ability to see through Adam's eyes.

It was like the end of the earth.

From the Gate, monsters of destruction descended.

Heaven and earth were covered with terrible creatures.

The roar of the beasts shook the earth, and their wings filled the sky.

The Hunters gathered to face them evaporated before they could escape. Even before the monsters landed on the ground, the Hunters were killed by the destructive Monarch who had descended first.

The remaining people fled, but it seemed impossible for them to survive the attacks that were endlessly thrown their way.

'But...'

Jin Woo could save one person.

The High Orc soldier who was being manipulated by Jin Woo then caught Adam's wrist.

Adam screamed out in fright.

"Ah! oh!"

Adam was in shock, but, he could see the familiar shadow of a man in the Orc's eyes.

"Hu-Hunter Sung Jin Woo?"

Jin Woo did not have time to explain.

The explanation he could give was to move him away.

When Jin Woo tried to get Adam into the shadow of the High Orc, someone suddenly approached and grabbed the High Orc's shoulder.

Puff.

The High Orc turned around and saw a man. The orc's gaze met the man's bizzare repitalian pupils.

[Where are you going, shadow?]

The man opened his mouth, and a menacing force began to gather inside it.

Jin Woo then looked towards Adam.

At that moment, Adam looked at Jin Woo. The regretful look in his eyes told him that he knew what was about to happen.

And right when the High Orch tried to move —

"Hunter, I'm—"

Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaa -!

The breath that came out of the old man's mouth erased the Shadow Soldier without a trace.

"Cough!"

Jin Woo felt a sudden burning sensation and suffered severe pain.

The High Orc soldier and he were connected, but Jin Woo could escape. However, Agent Adam, who was next to him, could not.

His  last moment.

Jin Woo remembered his widened eyes as he burned in vicious flames.

Then he could no longer see him as the smoke blocked his vision.

Kwang!

The ground trembled as if an earthquake had struck the land.

'Damn ...'

He should have known that would happen.

If the duration of the battle got dragged on, the Shadow Legion would only get stronger.

Enemies knew that, and they tried to reduce the battlefield by bringing all their troops to a single location.

The Monarch opened the eighth Gates as a hoax.

'I focused too much of my troops on one Gate.''

That was a bone-piercing mistake.

While he tried to execute a profitable strategy, other areas were attacked

and destroyed.

Liu Zhang, who realized that something was wrong, approached and asked cautiously.

"Hunter Sung Jin Woo ...?"

Then -

News finally arrived from Canada.

"Hu, Hunter ... Canada ..."

One could guess what happened just by looking at his face.

Jin Woo then looked up.

The Gate, which had previously covered the sky, now slowly blinked as if it had already fulfilled its purpose.

* * *

A Shadow Soldier and an ordinary man next to him have been burnt to the ground.

Even the immortal army could melt into ashes.

"..."

The old man then turned to look at his finished product—their ashes piled on his feet—then smiled with satisfaction.

The Monarchs, who were forced to stay quiet for a long time, enjoyed the feeling of freedom by eating the humans they encountered.

They opened their arms wide to embrace that freedom.

The heartbeat of living beings.

Their screams.

The pleasant sounds they made as they were destroyed sounded like music to their ears.

Then -

Kuwoong!

Ancient dragons landed on the ground.

The two Monarchs descended slowly above the ground, and their commanders followed behind them.

They all knelt politely to the mighty Monarch, Solon.

The dragon smiled.

He gathered powerful mana in his hands, which seemed to want to blow up the earth.

He unleashed the mana to strengthen the land, as well as strengthen the power of those who could wield it.

"Yes."

"Preparation is over."

Kha ha ha ha ha!

The powerful dragon commanded the soldiers who were still flowing out of the Gate.

[Destroy everything! That is the only mission given to us!]

Hundreds of dragon quickly flew over his head and breathed out huge flames, burning everything on the ground.

Boom!

* * *

Only Director David Brennan was left alone in the Hunter Burea's office.

He had pulled up the expensive drink he had saved for his eldest daughter's wedding, ignoring reports and communications that continued to come from many channels.

In the dark, only the muted TV screen illuminated with flashing lights.

And the TV always showed the same video.

David didn't know why he kept repeating the same video from the broadcasting station.

'Everything is dead.'

Just like the agents he sent to support Canada.

No one was going to survive.

Hunters, agents, reporters who recorded the videos.

Everyone was going to die.

However, thanks to the short film taken by the cameraman with his life in exchange, it was possible to ascertain the approximate size of the enemy.

"It is over!"

The Director shouted like crazy.

Hunter Sung Jin Woo did not exaggerate.

There were hundreds of dragons.

In addition, giants and other monsters also appeared.

It was a disaster that humans were hopeless against.

Now he finally understood why Hunter Sung Jin Woo repeatedly warned everyone to stay away from the Gates.

The world was over.

But -

"Crazy bastard."

Didn't Sung Jin Woo himself go to China to fight these things?

How could he continue to fight while knowing the existence of such things?

He wanted to break Jin-Woo's head and find the reason if possible.

"Well, before I can do that, my head might break into dozens of pieces first."

"Hah"

The director laughed downheartedly, then pulled out a picture.

It showed the face of a girl wearing a hooded hat and an irritated expression.

"Is this the sixteenth?"

If he knew his daughter would be the scapegoat for the Dungeon Break that year, he would have taken more photos, even if he had more time, or even quit his job.

The fact that there were only two photos of them both made the director's heart sting.

Sniff -

Another glass was emptied.

After she was buried, he thought that he would no longer have a reason to drink this anymore.

The director bitterly shook the bottle.

Now, half the bottle was empty.

"Yes ... it's over."

Canada reported that half of the country had already disappeared.

And that was only an estimate.

Nobody knew how fast they were advancing to America.

The director roughly untied his tie.

"I will not die in your hands."

He had pledged to take revenge and promised to the grave of his daughter that he would not die so easily.

At least, he would choose that option if it was still possible for him to continue living.

With such determination, he approached the window and looked down.

A breeze swept past his sweaty forehead.

'I hope my daughter will comfort me now."

As he cried, he closed his eyes and tried to jump.

But someone held his shoulder.

"Ugh!"

When he turned around, he was very surprised, because there was a man with a face he recognized.

"Hu-Hunter Sung Jin Woo?"

As if he had seen a ghost, the Director's face turned pale.

Then Jin Woo said,

"There's something I want to see."
