Chapter 59

 

#Chapter 59

 

“Hmm, that’s quite acceptable!”

 

Leaving the exhausted ministers behind, Hyeon-i, who had thoroughly extracted their technical expertise, smiled brightly.

 

Using robots to display holograms, he had completed constructing rough blueprints for Seoul and the Republic of Korea as a whole.

 

Of course, there was a minor incident where the association presidents grabbed the ministers by their collars asking if they were insane, but anyway, the first step toward Seoul’s restoration was properly set in motion.

 

Since all that remained was a conversation with the association presidents, I left the ministers and Hyeon-i behind and moved to another room.

 

“Honestly speaking, I never expected to be exploited this ruthlessly…”

 

“Do you find it regrettable?”

 

“Not exactly, but I would have preferred to conduct the first demonstration in our own country.”

 

“Is that so? I actually think we got off cheap with this much.”

 

As I sat at the head seat with a slight smile, the association presidents looked at me intently, then nodded as if they couldn’t argue.

 

“There are countless things that money alone cannot accomplish, so it does seem we got off cheap.”

 

Everyone here was an association president representing their respective countries.

 

None of them were people who couldn’t read the situation.

 

It was an arrogant statement that this much was cheap for befriending ‘me, who had pioneered the magical realm called the Korean Peninsula,’ but now that they had clearly confirmed my abilities, no one objected.

 

“Anyway, you must be getting an idea of why we invited you here?”

 

“I had a rough expectation. The country’s restoration is beginning to start, after all.”

 

“Yes, that’s exactly it.”

 

Restoring facilities and such isn’t particularly difficult.

 

It’s just a matter of money, facilities, and geniuses working their magic.

 

But bringing back the human resources who left is quite a difficult task.

 

Who could blame anyone for leaving the Korean Peninsula?

 

It was a terrible land where even S-rank Hunters could die if they made a wrong move.

 

There were probably quite a few people who wanted to return but couldn’t, shedding tears.

 

And it was precisely these last people I was targeting.

 

“We’d appreciate it if you could promote this on a large scale.”

 

“Even without promotion, this is already a major historical event.”

 

“Defeating four S-rank monsters and Bloodsuckers is something that would shock the entire world.”

 

“But there’s a clear difference between shocking news spreading through word of mouth and large-scale promotion.”

 

Everyone nodded at my response.

 

“There should be quite a few people wanting to return to South Korea, but accommodating all of them might be tight.”

 

“That can be resolved quickly, so there’s no problem.”

 

“That’s fortunate, but…”

 

The association presidents hesitated and exchanged glances.

 

Since I had a rough idea of what they really wanted to say, I leaned back completely in my chair.

 

“You must have many questions about me.”

 

Everyone nodded affirmatively at my question.

 

But since I couldn’t answer every question, I allowed one question per person.

 

“I’ll answer sincerely within the scope of what I can tell you.”

 

It was an ambiguous response, but that alone was sufficient.

 

As if they had already prepared a list of questions before I arrived, Reynold took the lead and asked.

 

“You have companions who appear to be Hunters Baek Do-hyeon and Kang Cheol-u, and we’d appreciate an explanation about this.”

 

The first question was quite penetrating to the core.

 

But since they were investing astronomical amounts in the tens of digits, I could answer this much.

 

Of course, I had no intention of answering for free.

 

“If you swear on your lives to keep silent, I can tell you.”

 

At my question, the association presidents exchanged glances and gulped.

 

Who in this world could make such a sharp threat toward them?

 

Not even S-rank Hunters, nor even a country’s president could dare do anything to them.

 

But the man before them now was certainly capable of such a thing.

 

If this conversation were to leak, he might really come to kill them.

 

But even considering that, they wanted to know.

 

The activity of two legendary Hunters whose deaths had been confirmed was incomprehensible to the human mind.

 

“Yes, please tell us.”

 

At the determined look in the association presidents’ eyes, I slowly nodded.

 

“I resurrected those two dead Hunters.”

 

“Is… is that really true?”

 

“Yes, it’s one of my skills.”

 

As proof, I lightly summoned Baek Do-hyeon and Kang Cheol-u to this place.

 

The two people who had been helping with Seoul’s restoration appeared before me without knowing why.

 

“Oh, did you call for us, my lord?”

 

“What’s this, why are you calling when we’re busy?”

 

The two who appeared grumbling saw the association presidents and raised their eyebrows.

 

True to their quick-witted nature, they understood the situation.

 

“What, you decided to spill everything?”

 

“I can’t tell them everything.”

 

“Hmm… well, call us again if you need anything.”

 

“Then, I’ll be going back as well.”

 

“Yes.”

 

The two hunters bowed politely to me and went outside.

 

Just that alone made the watching association presidents tremble with their hands shaking.

 

“How was that? Did that answer your question somewhat?”

 

Everyone was so flustered they couldn’t close their mouths for several seconds.

 

Originally, the scenario the association presidents had expected was something like the ultimate dream team created by the Republic of Korea.

 

They had thought of it as a foundation secretly created to rebuild even if the country collapsed.

 

But what they had just witnessed was something that far surpassed any dream team.

 

Seo cautiously raised his hand and asked.

 

“You mentioned summoned creatures, but what happens if a summoned creature dies?”

 

“They revive after 1 hour. Depending on circumstances, instant revival is also possible. I won’t count that question against your quota.”

 

It was a casual answer, but the association presidents were stunned as if they’d been hit in the head with a hammer.

 

To me they were just companions, but in their eyes, these were infinitely reviving S-rank hunters.

 

“Could you wait just a moment, please?”

 

“Sure.”

 

After briefly gathering to discuss among themselves, the association presidents urgently changed their question.

 

“This is our second question, but could you introduce your companions to us? You don’t need to share sensitive information.”

 

Knowing this question was about my companions’ hunter information rather than personal details, I answered appropriately.

 

“They’re all S-rank. Among them, Jinu and Hyeon-i are humans, not my summoned creatures.”

 

At the mention that they weren’t summoned creatures, several association presidents’ eyes wavered momentarily.

 

“They like me so much that it’s uncertain whether they’d leave this place.”

 

Though spoken gentlemanly, it contained a stern warning not to interfere.

 

Since they were clever people, just saying this much would make them understand.

 

Reynold pressed his brow, seemingly having received a great shock.

 

“Uh… then, this is our third question.”

 

Since the documents he’d been holding had become meaningless, Reynold put them down.

 

“Whenever we observe you through satellite, your figure appears obscured as if covered by black clouds. Could you explain this?”

 

Black clouds?

 

This was the first I’d heard of this.

 

I thought about it briefly, but no matter how much I considered it, I’d never paid attention to such things.

 

Coming from a country without satellites, I had even less reason to move while being mindful of artificial satellites.

 

“I’m sorry, but I don’t really know about that either. I’ve never particularly moved while being conscious of satellites.”

 

Though I had some ideas, this was related to my essence, so I couldn’t easily give an answer.

 

“So this is the last question now?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Somehow, despite receiving answers to their questions, the association presidents’ expressions became even more confused.

 

It was probably because they hadn’t received any of the answers they’d expected.

 

I leisurely enjoyed the softness of the chair while waiting for the final question.

 

The final question that the association presidents produced after earnest discussion among themselves.

 

Curious about what would come out, I waited with slight enjoyment, and before long, Reynold stepped forward.

 

“As you know, your power is unprecedented worldwide… no, in the entire hunter community.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

A modest answer.

 

Reynold’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

 

“How many more hunters can you revive in the future?”

 

As if this were the most important question, all the association presidents’ gazes gathered in one place, not just earnest but burning with desperation.

 

Since I could clearly see what they were thinking, I answered obediently.

 

“Three more are possible.”

 

With that answer, a fierce battle of wits began among the association presidents.

 

* * *

 

Leaving behind the association presidents who would be engaged in a mind-splitting covert battle, I came outside.

 

Hyeon-cheol, wearing something resembling a work supervisor’s badge, was commanding the site.

 

Surprisingly, Hyeon-i was behind him, carefully contemplating some kind of blueprint.

 

Since there wasn’t particularly anything for me to interfere with, just as I was about to head to the hotel for more rest.

 

‘Hmm? They said they’d contact me again, is it ready now?’

 

The moment I pressed the System Message saying I would accept, my entire body was shot up to the heavens.

 

With the now quite familiar sensation, I arrived at the place where Senior resided.

 

However, this time it wasn’t a dark cavern but a proper Black Palace.

 

Contrary to my expectation that it would be gloomy, it was a magnificent black fortress that felt grand.

 

Senior, who had been waiting for me at the entrance, welcomed me.

 

“This palace is excessively spacious for living alone.”

 

“Is that so? I was actually thinking it was rather cramped.”

 

“Considering the main body, that might be the case.”

 

“The main body isn’t something that can be put somewhere, so there’s no choice.”

 

As I entered the fortress under Senior’s escort, black shadows were busily moving around inside.

 

They were managing every corner of the fortress as if they were butlers or maids.

 

“Are those all souls too?”

 

“They’re wounded souls who refused reincarnation.”

 

“I see.”

 

At my indifferent response, Senior poked my side.

 

“You’re not as surprised as I expected.”

 

“…Don’t they say that humans live carrying their own hell in their hearts?”

 

“Ho, that’s a statement the Lord of Hell would like.”

 

“Eh? There’s such a being?”

 

“It’s more of a manager than a monarch, but it does exist.”

 

As we went inside while making small talk, we could move to the Inner Sanctum of the Great Fortress in an instant.

 

It was quite a unique experience to have the scenery change rapidly while walking, not even riding in a vehicle.

 

“Come to think of it, how’s the dragon doing?”

 

“Yes, I always keep it with me.”

 

Though it’s troublesome, I always carry it on my body, wrapped in layers of death force.

 

When I showed the egg, Senior looked it over from various angles, then laughed as if finding it absurd.

 

“Raise it well.”

 

“Why are you laughing like that? You’re embarrassing our baby.”

 

“I’m not mocking it, but a dragon born with the power of death from birth… I’m curious to see what kind of outrageous thing will emerge.”

 

After putting the dragon’s egg away and walking a bit more, we soon arrived at the Inner Sanctum of the Great Fortress.

 

Inside, there was a massive soul I’d never seen before, trapped there.

 

The power emanating from the soul was overwhelming enough to dominate even me for a moment.

 

It was a transparent soul without any color, to the extent that ordinary people wouldn’t even notice something was there.

 

“What do you think that is?”

 

“Um… given the circumstances, it must be Karnack.”

 

“I’m not sure if we can call that Karnack, but you’re right for now.”

 

There was no sign of the Lord of the Sun, or even the red aura that Karnack had possessed.

 

It was something closer to a pure mass of power without any color, like a blank white canvas.

 

“That’s what I extracted from the remnants of the Divine Seat that remained in Karnack.”

 

“Just the remnants of the Divine Seat have that much power…?”

 

“Why are you so surprised? You’re going to have to eat that from now on.”

 

“…What?”

 

Senior smiled with a bitter expression.
