Episode 152
During the two months going back and forth between the Forge of Death ― Blacksmith District.
The world had greatly chang… there’s no way it would have.
It was the same world as always, except for my knight becoming a bit listless.
“It’s regrettable that we couldn’t row when the tide came in.”
President Baek clicked his tongue with a tsk―.
“Palace Interior Minister. Are you telling my lord to become a jester?”
“Oh my. I didn’t see it that way, how disappointing.”
Sigh.
That Palace Interior Minister expression wasn’t for internal use.
President Baek, who had been blinking at Sir Isra’s words, laughed loudly with a “Hah!”
“What an honor. Palace Interior Minister, you say.”
“Our kids aren’t very good with words. Please understand.”
“It’s fine. It sounds like the highest praise Sir Isra can express.”
“Haha. You know well. The Palace Interior Minister is an important position serving His Majesty right by his side.”
“I’ll take that as meaning my work handling is that clean.”
You shouldn’t go along with this, Boss.
“Hahaha. See there, my lord. Didn’t I say he would accept the honorable title.”
You’re just going along with him.
Even Ingrid, who’s usually busy picking fights, was quiet.
Don’t band together only at times like this!
“Shall we enter the Gate?”
“I’ve already uploaded the list in advance.”
As expected of President Baek. I was counting on you!
“And the Rift Bureau will support you for about a month.”
“Eh? The Rift Bureau?”
“The support team friends don’t meet the entry conditions.”
Ah.
Right.
One of the changes that occurred over two months was that the support team friends got promoted to C-rank.
They had already reached max level long ago.
Maybe because they received guidance from Sir Isra and Ingrid, they passed with A-rank.
“Doesn’t that mean my guidance was that excellent?”
“Iron Head. I was there too, you know?”
“Hahaha. Just this once, I’ll acknowledge your skills.”
“You did pretty well too.”
Uh.
Uuuum.
Why must embarrassment always be my share?
“It’s because Hunter Park always achieves S-rank, but even A-rank is impressive.”
“I didn’t think it was lacking.”
“It’s awkward to say this, but the support team friends’ basic skills aren’t particularly outstanding.”
Without the two vassals’ assistance, they would have barely passed.
That’s what President Baek, who was active as the Human Resources ace, says.
“It’s all thanks to the two vassals’ excellent guidance.”
“Hahahaha.”
“Hoho.”
【I want to teach my skills too.】
【Priest. Regret.】
She’s probably saying it’s regrettable there’s no priest in the support team.
Because of the penalty of only being able to say five words per minute, I have to listen by making reasonable inferences.
“I heard they’re going around Gates today too.”
“Everyone’s so diligent.”
“Having Hunter Park as a goal seems to make them approach it with more motivation.”
Well now. How embarrassing.
“The servants have the right mindset.”
“I should teach them more in the next training. They’ll definitely like it, right?”
“Hmm. I should work harder too.”
I don’t know if it’s okay to say things about catching the kids so cheerfully like that.
Support team members.
I humbly pray for the deceased’s peaceful rest.
Anyway, it’s not my fault!
“Shall we go right away then?”
“Yes!”
A Gate I’m entering for the first time in two months.
I was already looking forward to the new undeads’ performances.
* * *
The first destination was a Gate that opened in Songpa-gu.
[Path of Struggle]
Grade: B
Entry Restriction: A ~ B(15)
Type: Wave
Rift Bureau employees waiting in front of the Blue Rift.
As soon as they saw me, they came forward and bowed 90 degrees.
“You’re Hunter Park, right? We’re from the Rift Bureau.”
[Management Department 4th Division]
[Section Chief Do In-seong]
[Grade ― B]
“Please take care of me.”
“It’s awkward to say this at our first meeting, but will the strategy be okay?”
“What’s there to be okay or not okay about.”
“As you know, Hunter, wave types have high strategy difficulty.”
I had already experienced wave types during the Primordial Waves.
It was a tricky type to strategize because monsters would rush in at regular intervals.
“We’re aware that Hunter Park’s skills are remarkable.”
“But it could still be dangerous?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
His face clearly shows he’s nervous.
Is he worried about my safety?
After being attacked by Chinese Hunters, the Rift Bureau always sent Hunters as escorts.
Today they’re filling the support team’s vacancy, but.
Seeing the Hunters fidgeting, the Rift Bureau must worry about me a lot.
At times like this, I should lighten the mood with my secret weapon joke…
“Don’t worry. As long as I, Isra, am here, no one will harm my lord!”
“Hoho. Who’s worrying about whom?”
Ah.
Quiiiet.
“If it gets dangerous, please help us then.”
“Yes. I’ll request support immediately.”
“Support?”
“Since it’s a wave type, you’d need at least an A-rank Hunter to handle it.”
Eek.
Were the teachers also nervous because they couldn’t handle it?
It seemed like they were worried I might act recklessly, but it turns out the Gate difficulty was really that high.
Judging by the fact that we can enter the Gate, everyone should be B-rank though.
Looking closely, the Rift Management Agency Hunters dispatched here were all gripping their weapons tightly.
Why are they trembling like that?
The teachers won’t even need to step in.
Not long after crossing into the Blue Rift.
“Kurururuk!!”
Red-skinned Orcs came charging at us.
Their average height was about 2.5 meters.
About two heads taller than regular Orcs.
Bulging tendons writhed menacingly over their crimson-stained skin.
“High Orcs!”
“A wave starting right after entry!”
“There are 80! This is beyond our level.”
“We should have brought an A-rank Hunter for a wave type!”
“How did the 3rd Division handle this?”
“This is beyond our capabilities.”
“Hunter Park!”
The Hunters dispatched from the Rift Management Agency spoke rapidly.
Everyone seems quite urgent.
“Sir Isra.”
“This seems like the perfect stage to test the Death Warrior’s combat prowess.”
He understands my heart perfectly.
[Death Space]
An Undead clad in pitch-black armor suddenly emerged.
Blue light flickered above its eyes, spreading out like a mirage.
The surrounding temperature dropped about 3 degrees, creating an eerie atmosphere.
“Did you summon me, Master?”
“The Orcs. Can you crush them?”
“Yes!”
[Death’s Step]
The Death Warrior kicked off the ground and charged at the High Orcs.
A pitch-black afterimage remained where it had just passed.
The Death Warrior approached at a speed faster than the charging High Orcs and swung its sword.
Ah.
Right.
It’s the technique I haven’t fully mastered yet – [Imperial Swordsmanship].
Blue energy rose from the sword swung with perfect form.
Shwiiing―!
Several High Orc heads shot up into the sky.
0.1 seconds later, blood flowed backward, painting the sky.
Shortly after, thud, thud, the heads affected by gravity fell down.
“Kurururuk!”
High Orcs who pushed aside their fallen comrades swung their axes.
A simultaneous attack with no place to dodge.
Shwing!
Once again, the sword drew a long line through the air.
The axes caught in the blue trajectory were cut in half.
Splurt! The same line was drawn across the High Orcs’ arms and torsos as green blood poured out.
[Experience has increased.]
In less than 5 seconds, ten High Orcs had become corpses.
With the vanguard falling so helplessly, the High Orcs in the rear also stopped momentarily.
“Kill!!”
[Death’s Step]
As the Death Warrior leaped once more, the skill effect activated.
[The opponent has felt fear.]
[Negative emotions are amplified.]
[17 High Orcs are exposed to Fear Lv 37 status.]
“Kuruluk! Brother! Dead!”
“Kuruk! Scary!”
“Kurururuk! What should we do!”
The Orc species, known for rarely feeling fear in battle.
Even High Orcs, the superior race among them, trembled with fear and stepped backward.
Shwing!
The Death Warrior that penetrated inside mechanically cut down the High Orcs.
It took less than a minute for nearly half the monsters to fall.
“Kururrruk! Come at us!”
“Kuruk! Fight!”
The High Orcs freed from fear swung their weapons.
Shwing!
The result was the same.
“Whoa.”
“What kind of Summoned Being is that?”
How should I explain this?
“My Undead are handmade. They’re a bit special.”
“Ah, hahaha. It certainly appears as you said.”
You haven’t lost your mind, have you?
There was no need to bring out more Undead.
The Death Warrior alone blocked the High Orc wave.
“So this is what a full clear of the Tower of Chaos means.”
“Do you need to be at this level to reach the 50th floor?”
“I don’t understand how a B-rank can command a Summoned Being that handles Aura.”
“Necromancers usually rely on quantity battles.”
The Rift Management Agency Hunters.
They seem quite shocked, I wonder if they’ll be okay.
“We can pick up the pace, right?”
“Y-Yes!”
“I have quite a busy schedule today, so let’s finish quickly.”
President Baek had taken on quite a lot of Gate contracts.
Since we’ve spent quite a bit of our accumulated capital, shouldn’t we work hard to earn it back?
Testing the new Undead’s performance is just a bonus.
“Master. Could you give our children a chance too?”
“Ah. Let’s do that.”
Five Skeleton Wizards assigned to the Witch Coven.
They had learned [Photon Ray], one of Alphonse’s spells.
It was quite an impressive spell even during the exchange battle with Emilia.
I’m curious how it’ll perform in actual combat.
“Let’s sweep them all before the wave comes.”
“Yes!”
30 minutes after entering.
[You have cleared the Gate of the Path of Struggle.]
[Grade ― SSS]
[100 B-rank Magic Stones are given as additional reward.]
Even the wave-type that was notorious for being difficult to conquer was finished in an instant.
“Let’s go conquer the next Gate.”
“Are you okay with your stamina?”
“I haven’t done anything, so why would my stamina be consumed.”
The Hunter dispatched from the Management Department kept his mouth shut tight.
[Golem Research Lab]
Grade: B
Entry Limit: A ~ B(20)
Type: Field
『Intruder. Eliminate.』
“That’s Gegel. Die.”
“Gegel. Do not block Master’s path.”
[Photon Magic ― Photon Ray]
The golem made as a combat weapon collapsed with holes pierced through it after just a few light beams.
[You have cleared the Golem Research Lab.]
[Grade ― SSS]
Since we cleared it in less than an hour.
Naturally, the highest grade came out.
[100 B-rank Magic Stones are given as additional reward.]
“Next.”
[You have cleared the Temple of Darkness.]
[Grade ― SSS]
[100 B-rank Magic Stones are given as additional reward.]
After clearing the third Gate and coming out, the sun was setting.
“We can’t do more because of travel time.”
“Ahaha, haha.”
Look at everyone being disappointed.
Thanks to the Management Bureau Hunters taking care of everything, I could focus on conquering Gates.
B-rank Gate conquest.
Really easy, right?
