Chapter 2458 – 2458. Seven Tiers

Burr.

The smartphone trembled. The sender is the Hunter Association. An emergency summons was issued to me as well.

‘A message was probably sent to nearby A-level or higher hunters. Since this is Gangnam, most of the top 10 guilds will be convening.’

In my opinion, this was an overreaction. I don’t even need to go. But if you don’t go here, you will be labeled as a traitor. If something goes wrong, there is a high chance of being witch-hunted. I couldn’t go because I had other things to do. That excuse won’t work.

‘Well, just responding to emergency calls increases your performance.’

I got up from my seat.

Kang Seok-su was busy making phone calls here and there. The guild members who remained at the Seven Tier Headquarters also arm themselves and follow Kang Seok-su.

Jeong Ji-hak and I got into Kang Seok-su’s car. Kang Seok-su stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.

“I don’t have any detailed information. Representative Kang. “Have you received any separate information?”

“I do not know either. The Hunter Association is probably going crazy too. You will find out when you go. If you search for it on the news, won’t it come up?”

“The news hasn’t spread yet. It looks like there were no casualties. Except for the dungeon raiders.”

“It’s an S-class dungeon. An evacuation order is issued for 500 meters around, and the association’s hunters guard the dungeon gate in case of an emergency. “There will be no damage to property, but there will be no casualties.”

S-class dungeon breaker. At first glance, this may seem like a very serious issue. However, S-class dungeon breakers also happened occasionally. Of course, there are ways to deal with it.

If you look at the road, there are cars speeding by. Ambulances, police cars, luxury cars. The police mainly control the roads and luxury cars drive through Yeouido. There will be a hunter in the luxury car. I glanced at the sky and saw helicopters moving busily here and there.

“Doesn’t our guild have a helicopter?”

“We plan to get a helicopter later. We need to discuss various things with the association and the government… “It’s difficult right now.”

Seven Tier wasn’t that great of a guild yet.

Arrived at destination.

Hunters belonging to the association were on guard with nervous expressions. There are monster corpses scattered on one side. I checked the bloody corpse. A 2 m tall reptile with tiger stripes.

‘Is this a Tiger Raptor, a class A monster? They’re annoying because they’re quick and work in groups. Above all, its claws are as sharp as black, so if you let your guard down, they will bite you.’

We headed to the temporary barracks set up by the Hunter Association.

The deeper I went, the heavier the air felt. Each hunter was radiating their own presence. More than a dozen Class A hunters were gathered here.

“Who is it?”

One person inside, a middle-aged man, looked at us with deep eyes and asked. The voice itself feels intimidating. He seems to be in a bad mood.

“… “This is a seven-tier guild that came to support us after receiving an emergency call.”

“Seventh tier. Okay. Thanks for coming. This is Ilchan Kwon, the guild master of Bluebird. … A few hours ago, I received a report that he had visited the Seven Tier Guild. Didn’t he commit rudeness?”

“It wasn’t even rude.”

“Then that’s a relief. Thank you for coming this far, but I would like Seven Tier to wait. “Our Bluebird will finish this case.”

It was then. We can feel the presence behind us. I reflexively looked back. A group confidently entered the barracks.

“Are you able to finish it?”

What came in was a middle-aged woman dressed extravagantly. Her impression itself was ordinary, but her mood was extraordinary.

I knew her. If she was from Korea, she couldn’t have known.

Like Kwon Il-chan, she is the master of Ewha Guild, one of the top ten guilds.

“… Choi Seo-jeong. There was no need for you to come in person. Did you come to laugh at me?”

“Ha, what do you think of people? “Bluebird came to clean up the poop.”

“We finish our work.”

“I ended up like this because I couldn’t finish it.”

A spark flew between the two. I watched with interest. What would happen if they fight here? Honestly, I was a little curious. Even though they are not S-class hunters, they are one of the strongest fighters in Korea.

But a new face appeared and stopped them. It was a person I knew.

“Let’s stop there. You two didn’t come here to fight, right? Reporters are gathering now. You should avoid gossiping. Especially Bluebird.”

Baek Ji-eun.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you in person. She made a little eye contact with her. She smiled as if she knew, then turned her head and spoke to the hunters gathered around her.

“The dungeon breaker went off about 15 minutes ago, and a total of 74 Class A monsters have come out of the gate so far. The monster was killed by the waiting hunters. The important thing is that only 74 came out. “Originally, the quantity should have been at least three times greater.”

“There is only one thing I can think of. Bluebird’s first attack team is still in the process of conquering the dungeon. Even though Bluebird did not fail to conquer the dungeon, the dungeon breaker occurred.”

Bluebird’s guild master, Kwon Ilchan, said with his eyes wide open. In particular, it was emphasized that there was no failure.

This was a surprise.

There are two known cases of the Dungeon Breaker phenomenon. This occurs when you completely fail to conquer a dungeon or when the dungeon is left unattended for a certain period of time.

“Didn’t I completely fail the conditions for conquering the dungeon?”

Choi Seo-jeong intervened and said. This refers to the attack conditions that exist in some dungeons.

“Well. Nothing exact yet. We’ll have to look into that later. The important thing now is to rescue the remaining raiders inside the dungeon. It would be nice if Ayoung Han stepped forward… She is currently raiding another dungeon.”

“We will go.”

“It’s not possible. The Association cannot trust the Bluebird Guild once it has failed. Above all, isn’t Bluebird’s main force all part of the 1st attack group? “It will be impossible to attack with the remaining Bluebird power.”

“I am. If I have it, I can do it.”

“Can you say that in front of the reporters gathered outside?”

“…”

Kwon Il-chan kept his mouth shut.

What the public wants is not a restoration of Bluebird’s pride, but a clear strategy. Whatever the reason, since the breaker phenomenon occurred in the dungeon that Bluebird was in charge of, Bluebird lost credibility. Whatever the reason, Blvbird failed.

And the public doesn’t really care about the process. The best thing here is to follow what the association says.

“We will form an impromptu rescue party here. The goal is not strategy. The minimum number of people must move quickly to rescue the raiding party. Here is the list: Me, Baek Ji-eun of the Hunter Association…”

Baek Ji-eun called the hunters’ names. Even among A-class hunters, they are the ones who make a living. Kwon Il-chan and Choi Seo-jeong were included as if it was natural. Surprisingly, Kang Seok-su and Jeong Ji-hak were also invited.

“There are a total of 12 people, including Hunter Seong Yu-jin.”

“For a moment. I don’t understand why Seong Yu-jin is leaving. Seventh Tier’s Kang Seok-su and Jeong Ji-hak admit that they are talented people who have consistently conquered A-level or higher dungeons. But isn’t this kid just a kid who spends his days and nights only going to B-grade or lower dungeons? Are you going to take this guy away?”

“Hunter Seong Yu-jin is an S-class candidate recognized by the World Hunter Association.”

“I don’t understand that. There is no proper performance. Did you take bribes from the World Hunter Association?”

I smiled at Kwon Il-chan. I am not what I used to be. I am confident in my skills, and my background is the World Hunter Association. There was nothing I had to bow down to.

“This must be your son who failed to conquer the dungeon. Oh, since he failed in his attack, he must have already been defeated. May the deceased rest in peace.”

It is a famous story in the hunter world that Kwon Il-chan’s son is the leader of the 1st Bluebird Attack Team.

“This bastard…”

Kwon Il-chan growls and exudes murderous spirit. At the same time, he naturally emits mana and takes control of his surroundings. His skill is incomparable to that of the A-class hunters he faced during the day.

But it’s not overwhelming. I can do this too.

He equally causes death and dominates his surroundings with mana. Each other’s invisible mana collided as if in a battle for territory. What is important now is not power, but delicate mana control and the will contained in mana. My mana began to slowly apply pressure, pushing out Kwon Il-chan’s mana. Kwon Il-chan was embarrassed and hesitated.

“Please stop.”

The person who stopped him was surprisingly Choi Seo-jeong, the master of the Ewha Guild.

“As you know, the Bluebird Guild Master’s situation is not good. It’s mentally concentrated. Please understand the generous Hunter Seong Yujin. Now is not the time to fight. Ilchan Kwon. “Please apologize for ignoring Hunter Seong Yu-jin.”

“… Sorry. Because the situation was bad, my judgment was clouded.”

Kwon Il-chan gritted his teeth and apologized. Anyone can see that it looks like a forced apology.

Part of me wants to kill him, but… There were too many eyes watching here. I decided to become a Daehyeop for a while.

“I understand. You must be feeling confused because your only son is gone. I understand you.”

“… My son didn’t die. “He was not raised to be weak enough to lose his life in a dungeon like that.”

“No matter how much you prepare, the dungeon is a dangerous place. Doesn’t the person who is the master of a guild even know that?”

“This guy… ! There’s nothing a young person can’t say to an older person… !”

“I wish I was older. Come to think of it, aren’t you old enough to retire? I think it would be better for the guild to give up on his son and spend the rest of his life stuck in the countryside… Oh, my son was sick. “I’m sorry.”

“…”

Paddeuk.

Kwon Ilchan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Hum. It’s just that, and the space vibrates.

I spread my fingers in the opposite direction. Cracklingly, lightning wriggled between my fingers.

Kwaaang!

An explosion occurred between me and Kwon Il-chan. Our eyes turned to Baek Ji-eun.

“Both of you, if you won’t cooperate, will you please leave?”

“…”

“…”

Kwon Il-chan and I relaxed our strength. Baek Ji-eun began her short briefing with a sigh.

Kang Seok-su quietly spoke to me.

“Are you okay? Kwon Il-chan is famous for his foul temper. “I will hold a grudge against you for this.”

“He’s not the only one who can hold grudges.”

And we entered the S-class dungeon in front of hunters and reporters.

‘Kwon Il-chan… Looking at this guy’s temper, I’m sure he’ll bother me later. If I get the chance, I’ll send it to my son who fell behind.’
