Chapter 92
Jeon Jae-woo was preparing to clear another dungeon with his summoned creatures.
He’d asked the Alliance for compensation in exchange for clearing it on their behalf, but the response had been a vague “do as you wish.”
The Hunter Bureau showed no sign of offering anything additional for Jeon Jae-woo’s efforts.
Instead, it had somehow turned into a competition between Jeon Jae-woo and the International Hunter Alliance.
A race to see who could clear more Ancient-grade Ruins.
‘Didn’t I just fan the flames instead of putting out the fire?’
He’d only reignited the Alliance’s dormant appetite for dungeon clearing.
Cooperating with the Hunter Bureau suddenly felt like a mistake.
In any case, Jeon Jae-woo was now preparing to clear Chilhuk, one of the unclaimed Ancient-grade Ruins.
He checked his summoned creatures for any problems, and had No-bum conduct a thorough reconnaissance of the dungeon’s interior.
A few days later, he entered the Ancient-grade Ruin.
Despite the dungeon’s name being Chilhuk, the space bore little resemblance to one that stole the vision of those who entered or spread only darkness.
There was simply a bland landscape—short weeds and a few small rocks scattered about.
The dungeon earned its name Chilhuk because of the massive gate visible the moment one stepped inside.
A low, rumbling hum echoed from it.
An elliptical spatial rift gate roughly twenty meters tall.
The gaping maw of the gate appeared from the outside as nothing but a roiling mass of black mana.
Simply staring at it long enough made one feel as though they’d be sucked inside.
Jeon Jae-woo found himself trembling involuntarily.
‘God, this is terrifying. I’m getting goosebumps.’
It was essentially no different from a subspace gate conjured by magic-class hunters, just absurdly larger—so why did it feel so sinister?
[Chilhuk Exploration Condition: Gate Disassembly (0/1)]
The conquest condition for Chilhuk was to eliminate that gate.
‘A gate within the dungeon itself, huh.’
Until the gate vanished, all manner of monsters would continue pouring from it endlessly.
So how was one supposed to eliminate it?
Unlike ordinary gates, it wouldn’t disappear simply by exterminating all the monsters inside or slaying the boss-class creature.
As mentioned, this peculiar gate spewed forth an endless stream of monsters.
According to the guide written by the International Hunter Alliance itself, the only method was to use a magical tool designed to interfere with and disrupt the gate’s mana flow.
The problem was that eliminating a gate of this magnitude required an equally enormous magical tool.
The cost of manufacturing such a tool far exceeded any reward gained from clearing the dungeon—a classic case of the tail wagging the dog.
No one had dared attempt to craft such a tool, which is why the dungeon remained unclaimed to this day.
Jeon Jae-woo had briefly considered using Heaven’s Box to create a similar tool, but the material costs seemed prohibitively expensive, so he’d abandoned the idea.
‘If it weren’t for me, this dungeon would’ve been impossible to clear.’
Without Jeon Jae-woo, Earth would have nearly fallen to a gate that endlessly vomited monsters.
Or rather—without a spirit possessing a Nature Attribute that Jeon Jae-woo commanded.
He had a summoned creature capable of definitively resolving this sort of problem.
“No-bum, I’m counting on you again.”
“The gate’s power is extraordinarily strong, so it will take considerable time. Please be careful, Master.”
“Don’t worry about the time. Just focus on disassembling the gate.”
In the brief time he’d been observing, monsters had begun pouring out in astonishing numbers.
Their varieties were incredibly diverse.
Goblins, Orcs, Wyverns, Trolls, Golems, Drakes, Slimes, Kings, and more…
‘Monsters of different species usually view each other as enemies.’
Did that rule not apply to creatures emerging from the same gate?
As the monsters pressed closer, Jeon Jae-woo drew his blade.
“We need to carve a path for No-bum to get through. You understand, don’t you?”
[Understood, sir.]
“Since Myeol-geop seems like he’ll handle everything anyway, does the creator really need to draw a sword?”
“Be quiet.”
The battle between Jeon Jae-woo’s group and the horde of monsters erupted.
An overwhelming number of powerful creatures surged forward at once, yet Jeon Jae-woo’s summoned creatures proved far stronger.
The monsters were swiftly driven back toward the gate from which they’d emerged.
Before Myeol-geop’s cannon, mere numbers were hardly consequential.
As the monsters faltered, No-bum seized the opening and rushed into the gate.
Rather than simply bouncing forward like a slime, he rode atop a Cloud Nimbus to enter.
With his Nature Attribute, No-bum merged with the gate itself.
He applied simultaneous buffs to himself and debuffs to the gate.
Having become one with the massive mana portal, No-bum began to slowly distort its form.
***
Meanwhile, at that same moment, nations possessing Transcendent-Class Hunters were persuading their own Transcendent-Class Hunters to participate.
Ritsuki, Indonesia’s young Transcendent-Class Hunter, was enjoying a leisurely time surrounded by beautiful women.
He had been passing the hours pleasantly until government officials arrived, and now he made no effort to hide his annoyance.
“So you want me to cooperate with those people and clear an Ancient-grade Ruin?”
“We would be most grateful if you would.”
……
Ritsuki, who had been staring indifferently at the documents in his hand, promptly crumpled the papers and tossed them aside.
“I refuse.”
The officials, turned down so abruptly, forced their expressions to remain neutral as they pressed further.
“If you could at least explain your reasoning.”
“It looks tacky. Even if it is an Ancient-grade dungeon, why would multiple Transcendent-Class Hunters need to swarm a single ruin like that?”
Does appearance matter right now?
And besides, since this was an Unclaimed Ancient-grade Ruin, the difficulty would be substantial and the rewards surely immense.
“This is work that requires Transcendent-Class Hunters to join forces, Ritsuki.”
“If everyone pools their strength, then what falls to me becomes all the smaller.”
“And you’re content to let all the remaining Ancient-grade Ruins go to Jeon Jae-woo of Korea?”
At the mention of Jeon Jae-woo’s name, Ritsuki flinched momentarily, then shrugged.
“My relations with him aren’t poor. What’s the problem? Besides, I’ve never even met the man.”
……
One active Transcendent-Class Hunter ultimately rejected the Alliance’s proposal.
But there were many other Transcendent-Class Hunters who thought differently from Ritsuki.
From the perspective of the existing Transcendent-Class Hunters, Jeon Jae-woo was an existence they found deeply irritating.
Most nations across Asia felt the same way.
Ever since Jeon Jae-woo’s sudden appearance, they had been robbed of all the newly discovered high-tier dungeons.
Thanks to him, South Korea had grown at an extraordinary rate and swiftly surpassed rival nations.
Of course, Jeon Jae-woo’s accomplishments had been so overwhelming that no one dared protest.
But now this man aimed to seize all three Unclaimed Ancient-grade Ruins?
It was a legitimate (?) opportunity to obstruct someone they viewed with increasing resentment.
Admittedly, as Indonesia’s Transcendent-Class Hunter had pointed out, Transcendent-Class Hunters swarming a single ruin did look somewhat inelegant.
Still, it was better than allowing good fortune to fall to Jeon Jae-woo unopposed.
Ordinarily, these hunters would never cooperate, but this time they had a clear justification—the cause of world peace.
“Very well. We accept your proposal.”
“Then when and where should we assemble?”
With the exception of Indonesia, many Transcendent-Class Hunters accepted the International Alliance’s call for cooperation.
Achoo.
Jeon Jae-woo, still inside the Chilhuk Ruin, sneezed.
[Would you like me to drape a blanket over you?]
“No, it’s fine. A blanket is unnecessary.”
Who wraps an S-Class Hunter in a blanket, no matter how cold it gets?
The sneeze came out of nowhere, and now his ears were terribly itchy.
‘Someone must be talking about me.’
Though in this day and age, there were no shortage of people speaking of Jeon Jae-woo.
“…But why did you suddenly bring a blanket with you?”
[Jeon Ji-woo instructed me to bring it just in case.]
Turning his head, Jeon Jae-woo saw that Jeon Ji-woo had draped the blanket and was now merrily playing with Catsy, Lich King, and the other Summoned Creatures as though they were having a campfire gathering.
‘When did they pack food?’
Instant noodles, sausages, soda, all manner of snacks—everything was there.
Nightfall had descended on the ruin before long.
The corpses of monsters hunted by Jeon Jae-woo’s party lay scattered around.
Undead summoned by Lich King were currently dealing with newly spawned monsters and collecting their remains.
Jeon Jae-woo waited quietly for No-bum to finish his work.
The Gate Disassembly operation was not yet complete.
‘This is taking longer than expected.’
For an Ancient-grade Ruin, the time investment was unavoidable.
Even for No-bum, who possessed multiple Transcendent-tier Characteristics and S-rank Traits.
No-bum was indeed a formidable Summoned Creature, but considering the nature of his abilities, he was certainly not capable of handling an Ancient-grade Ruin alone.
Among all of Jeon Jae-woo’s Summoned Creatures, Myeol-geop remained the only one truly capable of managing an Ancient-grade Ruin independently.
More than twelve hours had already passed since No-bum entered the Gate.
He was laboring alone and working himself to exhaustion clearing the ruin.
‘If only there were some gift I could give to a spirit.’
It would be nice to have something worthy to offer the spirit.
About an hour later.
No-bum finally emerged from the Gate.
“No-bum. How did it go?”
“Success!”
True to her word, the Gate before them began to fade slowly.
The mana flowing from the Gate rippled with such force that the elliptical shape crumbled, and in an instant all movement stopped as if time itself had frozen, before the entire structure shattered into countless fragments.
‘Wow… that’s really impressive.’
I wish I’d brought a camera to capture the Gate’s disappearance. What a shame.
[Exploration Mission Complete.]
[The Chilhuk Dungeon now belongs to Jeon Jae-woo.]
In any case, the Gate vanished and a conquest completion notification appeared.
The reward for clearing the dungeon was…
Jeon Jae-woo walked to the spot where the Gate had been.
A Black Sphere the size of a fist lay in the place where the Gate had stood.
Even for an S-Class Hunter, it was quite heavy.
The Lich King examined the sphere with evident interest.
“This is… a subspace capable of storing anything.”
Jeon Jae-woo too sensed an immeasurable depth within the subspace.
It felt as though the Gate that had ceaselessly spewed forth monsters had been condensed into this sphere.
A subspace of this caliber could be thrown down and used as a weapon to devour anything in its path.
‘But I’ve already entrusted subspace duties to No-bum, so there’s not much use for it.’
Well, so be it.
I didn’t clear this dungeon for the rewards anyway.
If I make use of the Mutant or Heaven’s Box, I’m sure I’ll find a use for it somewhere.
In any case, the first dungeon took longer than expected.
I’d like to move on to the next one right away if possible.
“You alright?”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“You’ve been working hard. If you’re tired, let’s rest before we move on.”
At her master’s concern, No-bum answered with unbridled confidence.
“I’m a spirit, Master. Why would a spirit drawing energy from nature ever grow tired?”
“Then we can head to the next dungeon right away?”
“Yes!”
The other summoned creatures had fully recovered twelve hours after their last proper battle.
“Good. Let’s move to the next one then.”
The moment Jeon Jae-woo left the Chilhuk Dungeon, he entered the next one without delay.
