Episode 135

[B-rank Hunter Park Min-ho has cleared the 50th floor of the Tower of Chaos.]

“Phew.”

I hastily gathered only the valuable monster byproducts and rushed out.

“Everyone is looking at our Lord.”

“A message must have appeared like with the Tower of Ascension.”

Since I was the only one who just came out of the tower, it would be obvious.

Black hair and brown eyes.

No matter how many times I looked around this area, I was the only Asian with an unfamiliar name.

“Th-th-that person!”

“The Tower of Chaos has been completely cleared!”

“It must be this person!”

The attention of people around me was focused on me.

Should I call this fortunate?

There were fewer people than during the promotion exam.

“Why is that fortunate?”

“It’s bothersome.”

“Hmph. We should spread the word even more so that no one hasn’t heard of our Lord’s great reputation.”

Sir Isra.

I’m a bit anxious.

Surely… it won’t be, right?

“Behold! This is Park Min-ho, the Lord of Continental’s Greatest Swordsman Isra!!”

Sir Isra’s voice rang out thunderously.

Wait.

Did you even use mana?

His voice was so loud it put megaphones to shame, drowning out all the surrounding noise.

P-please save me, Sir Isra.

Why does the embarrassment have to be my share!!!

“Iron Head.”

“Mage. Are you uncomfortable?”

Right.

Ingrid. At least you try to stop him.

“The chivalry you revere. I’ll acknowledge it just this once.”

“You know something after all.”

“Of course. Isn’t it our mission to elevate Master’s name?”

【I’m here too, you know.】

【Master. Greatness.】

Ah.

Ahhhhhhh.

Won’t the world just end?

People who had been glancing at me surreptitiously were now openly staring.

The effect is certain.

“Sir Isra. Do you know Italian too?”

“What language is that?”

Please don’t answer a question with a question.

“Our voices are also telepathy.”

The Revived One is both human and undead at the same time.

The thoughts of the dead are automatically translated to those who hear them.

“Whoa.”

That’s kind of enviable.

Next time I need interpretation, I can ask Sir Isra or Ingrid.

“…No, that’s not it.”

Let’s end the public humiliation play here.

“Hyung! Congratulations!”

“We believed you would break through the 50th floor!”

The support team friends came running over in a hurry.

Thank goodness.

The uncomfortable feeling was somewhat relieved by the fact that I wasn’t alone.

“Where is President Baek?”

“He’s over there where the guild officials are gathered.”

“He said he’d wait there until news about hyung came out.”

“Let’s go quickly.”

I wanted to get away from the vicinity of the Tower of Chaos as quickly as possible, even by a second.

I slightly pushed open the door of an old building near the tower.

“This is a lie!”

“50th floor??”

“This is impossible! My money!!!!”

A chaotic scene was unfolding, different from the Tower of Chaos but equally chaotic.

“You’ve arrived. Congratulations.”

President Baek greeted me with a calm expression.

“You’re remarkably composed.”

“I believed Hunter Park would see the end of the tower.”

“Why is it so chaotic here?”

I would understand if they saw me and went ‘Wow!’ or got surprised asking ‘Are you the hunter who broke through the 50th floor?’

But.

Look at this atmosphere.

Even though the person who cleared the 50th floor is right in front of them, they’re not even giving me a glance.

“These are people who bet that Hunter Park would fail at the 10th or 20th floor.”

“Oh my. They must have lost quite a bit of money.”

“Thanks to you, I made close to 10 billion won. Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it, ack.”

10 billion won?

“Yes. It’s about that much because the dividend decreased.”

“Thanks to you, I made money too.”

A neutral voice joined the conversation.

Huh?

Even though my senses are always sharp thanks to Heavenly Martial Body.

Until I heard that voice just now, I didn’t even know someone was next to me.

As I was about to turn my head due to the sense of unease.

“Don’t come any closer.”

“How about talking with us before approaching Master?”

My two vassals blocked the way.

The owner of the neutral voice was dressed in black clothes from head to toe.

Gender, age, occupation.

I couldn’t deduce any of it.

“Isn’t it too harsh when I’m just trying to give thanks?”

“Because your outfit is overflowing with suspicion.”

It’s not just the clothing that’s suspicious.

The reaction speed of my two vassals was also slower than usual.

Ingrid aside.

Sir Isra should have reacted before hearing the voice.

A Hunter.

And clearly one of considerable skill.

【Seems like someone from the same line of work, my lord.】

Archaeology, probably not.

Must be a Hunter specialized in theft or assassination.

“Hope we can meet again.”

The person who clearly looked suspicious from their attire waved both hands and left.

“President Baek. Do you know that person?”

“No. First time seeing them.”

Hmm.

I thought you would have recognized them if they were famous.

Guess that’s not the case.

Though even if they were a celebrity, there’d be no way to recognize them wrapped up like that.

“Sir. Could you have stopped them?”

“I think I could have lasted about two exchanges.”

“That’s no ordinary person.”

A drop of sweat rolled down below Ingrid’s chin.

A skilled fighter capable of making my two vassals tense.

Must be SS-rank?

“I must become stronger to protect my lord.”

“The girl will work harder too.”

Come on.

If they intended harm, they would have attacked immediately.

Let’s not overthink this.

“Let’s go. Shouldn’t we have a celebration party?”

“You’re treating us, right Boss?”

“Of course. I can even ring the bell if you want.”

“You don’t need to go overboard.”

“It’s money you earned for us, Hunter. When else would I spend it if not now?”

Money earned through trust.

It would be perfect if only the process wasn’t gambling.

“I know a good place. You’ll be satisfied.”

President Baek walked ahead.

We hurriedly followed behind him.

Erasing that mysterious Hunter from our minds.

* * *

Cross Gate.

Intersected dimensions opened throughout the world.

About 20 passages have been discovered so far.

Coincidentally, countries with Cross Gate entrances were only those in the ‘developed nation’ category.

Each nation strictly controlled the existence and access to Cross Gates.

They prevented misuse as much as possible.

However.

Controlling every element was realistically impossible.

For example.

“That was a pleasant outing.”

Like the person who made a fortune at the gambling den near the Tower of Chaos.

“Been to Earth again?”

“I didn’t use the token, so spare me the nagging.”

“We’re on the verge of our great undertaking. Please refrain from actions that provoke Hunters.”

“Abyss of the Forgotten.”

Flinch.

The man covered in tattoos all over his face and skin slowly raised his head.

“I saw the guy who conquered that place.”

“Park Min-ho, was it.”

“Ah. That name sounds right.”

Black Heaven Society.

Contractors of the Demon King who had infiltrated the Cross Gate.

The person who casually greeted Min-ho at the gambling den was also a member of that organization.

“Didn’t kill him?”

“It wasn’t a commissioned job. You’re the one who failed.”

“Don’t be mistaken.”

The man’s expression turned cold.

“What I was commissioned to do was only to create the Abyss of the Forgotten at the designated location.”

That was exactly right.

The Supernatural Affairs Bureau’s request was to create a trap Gate.

No matter how talented a Hunter might be.

It was a trap that no C-rank could ever survive.

Min-ho escaping from the Abyss of the Forgotten was unexpected.

But since the commission itself was properly executed, the man had his own justification.

“How many sacrifices were there?”

“21,034 people.”

Ten thousand to artificially create the Gate.

The rest were used to dig the trap.

Using powerful spells borrowed from demonic power, they had created a stage that even A-rank Hunters couldn’t survive.

“Tsk. What a waste of lives.”

“Since when did you care about people living or dying.”

“Heh. That’s why I didn’t kill your commission target.”

“Didn’t I say the commission only went as far as digging the trap.”

“Yes, yes.”

The figure covered entirely in black removed their muffler and hood.

Short green-dyed hair.

White skin with slightly long ears and red eyes were revealed.

A cat-like beauty who appeared to be in her twenties stretched.

“Ugh. So stuffy.”

“The Italian Cross Gate security may be particularly lax, but still be careful.”

“I told you I just went to see Park Min-ho’s face and come back.”

“What’s your impression after seeing him directly, Elli.”

“He was decent. His face passes the acceptable standard too.”

“I’m not interested in your taste in looks.”

Elli clicked her tongue.

“No fun.”

“He’s the Hunter who conquered the Abyss of the Forgotten. He might interfere with our grand plan.”

“Those summoned beings. They’re no ordinary creatures.”

“Aren’t they just summoned beings made by a mere B-rank Necromancer.”

“They reacted to my movements though?”

The tattooed man’s movement stopped for a moment.

“That can’t be.”

An SS-rank Hunter specialized in assassination and stealth.

That was exactly Elli.

Wasn’t she a skilled individual who could hide so well that even Black Heaven Society executives would have trouble detecting her?

“He’s definitely weak in strength, but he gave off a dangerous scent.”

“He must not be an ordinary Necromancer.”

“He is a Necromancer, but I’m not sure?”

Doubt appeared on the Tattooed Man’s expression.

“Even though I was a step late, that guy Min-ho reacted to my presence.”

Following the B-rank Necromancer’s Summoned Being.

Now even the person himself had detected Elli’s presence.

The Tattooed Man let out a sigh of bewilderment.

“It would be good if we could recruit him.”

“Want to try probing once?”

“Don’t act rashly. He’s a hunting dog being raised by the Executor. It’s not something for you to step forward on first.”

At the mention of the Executor, Elli frowned.

“I hate that Uncle.”

The Hunter who managed Korea’s Cross Gate.

Director Jung Seung-il was one of the key figures blocking the Black Heaven Society’s movements.

“Should I have just killed him?”

“I told you not to act rashly.”

“It’s a joke. If I had made a move there, I would have been in danger too.”

Taking down the two Summoned Beings and Min-ho?

It would have been possible if she had set her mind to it.

It’s just that dealing with the aftermath would have been impossible.

Most Hunters belonging to the Black Heaven Society are extremely vicious criminals.

Elli was also a villain with an enormous bounty on her head for some reason.

If she had caused a commotion by taking out Min-ho.

By now, wouldn’t she be beyond the Jordan River instead of at the Cross Gate?

“Don’t forget to report this matter to the boss.”

“Is it that important? He’s not someone who would say anything about your failure.”

“Failure. I said it wasn’t.”

A tightly compressed voice leaked out between clenched teeth.

“Let’s say that’s the case.”

“The boss seems to be keeping an eye on that Min-ho fellow.”

“Don’t tell me he’s thinking of inviting him to The Organization?”

“Since he’s the Executor’s watchdog, it won’t be easy. But he’s worth it.”

“Ah. It’s bothersome, but there’s no choice.”

Elli shook her head and concealed herself in the Darkness.
