Chapter 30

Part 29

A gray-haired, brown-skinned man checked his watch.

“It’s time.”

When the second hand of the watch reached noon, the hour and minute hands moved simultaneously and stopped at exactly noon.

And the second hand started moving again, and the man got up too.

“It’s time, Knight.”

The door opened and a woman in a white H-shaped dress entered the room.

She told the time to the white-haired man who said ‘Night’.

“know. Have they reached their destination?”

“Yes. We are almost there.”

“I didn’t know I was going to use this as a spare, but I can’t help it.”

The knight made her face that she was going to die.

“But there is only one way to bring it down to Korea.”

“It is not difficult if the knight descends directly.”

“It’s stupid.”

At the woman’s words, Knight gave a pathetic look.

“If you do that, won’t everything the King plan be destroyed?”

“I lied.”

The woman bowed her head and apologized with her expressionless face.

Knight demeaned her, saying, ‘What does an emotionless junk know?’

Although she was blatantly ignored, there was not even a slight change in the expression on her woman’s face.

“Have you prepared your clothes?”

“Yes.”

“Bring it.”

A small hole appeared as the woman beckoned into the air.

She put her hand there and pulled it out again, and her black coat was in her hand.

The woman went straight to the knight and she carefully put it on.

The knight in her coat cleaned her clothes roughly and washed her face dry once.

“Today, I am reminded of the ritual service. Has it been a year already? He’s dead.”

“Exactly 11 months and 13 days have passed.”

“I’m not curious about such a detailed time. Don’t answer unless you’re asking.”

“sorry.”

“Hmm. I didn’t know that he would use his plan like this, but in the end, the King’s will will come to pass, so I hope you won’t be heartbroken in the afterlife.”

Knight grinned as he recalled her ceremonial dragon conversation a long time ago.

Then, she opened her mouth as the woman flashed her head.

“The raid team of the Red Lion Guild has just arrived in the sea off Eurwang-ri.”

“What about power?”

“There are thirty A-class hunters, including one S-class hunter, Yoo-Rak Ha.”

“Is all of them class A or higher?”

Unless it is an S-class portal attack, no more than 20 A-class hunters are involved.

However, thirty A-class hunters and Ha Yu-rak participated in the attack on the fragments of paradise.

That is why they judged the fragments of paradise a very serious situation.

And the judgment was not wrong.

But that was not enough.

The corners of the knight’s lips rose long upwards.

“If the power to protect the Korean Peninsula is lost, sinking will not be difficult.”

Her first plan failed, but her second plan using Paradise Fragments is sure to succeed.

Even if they attack the portal.

No, can we attack in the first place?

Knight was convinced that such a possibility converges to 0%.

“How ready are you for ‘overlapping’?”

“It’s 78%.”

“It can be said that it is practically over. Let me go.”“Night.”

“Why?”

Knight glared at the woman with an annoyed voice.

“I have an appointment with the Minister of Defense for dinner tomorrow at 1pm.”

“Damn it. Was it?”

“I think the dinner with the minister is an important promise.”

As the woman said, the dinner with the minister could not be canceled.

Knight, irritable to her, pounded her desk with her fist.

“Well, it doesn’t matter as it won’t last more than a day. What more can I say?”

“There is not.”

“Then go.”

Knight flapped her coat.

The universe appeared in it, and the moment the coat wrapped around the two of them.

No one was left there.

* * *

Red Lion’s hunters were checking supplies and combat equipment.

Newcomer Park Hyunsoo was also among them to help organize.

In the original case, supporters and low-ranking hunters were in charge, but in this attack, all hunters were grade A or higher.

The elite members of the Aegis Guild who participated as supporters were also specialized in supporting abilities, so they only participated as supporters and were not hired for chores.

“Are you okay?”

“Before I woke up, I was a supporter.”

“no wonder. You look like a veteran.”

Myung-jin said with a warm smile.

Currently, he is a shooter for Park Hyunsoo.

In terms of combat power, Park Hyunsoo is much stronger, but as a hunter, the basics are hardly grasped.

Thanks to that, Park Hyunsoo was pretty excited.

He’s paired up with a man who used to be an idol, so why not be excited?

“More than that, I was really surprised when I subjugated the Imoogi.”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to that, many people were able to survive.”

“I was just doing what was normal.”

“It’s a world where you can’t do things for granted. It’s a world where even people with strong power are blocked by something stronger and become frustrated.”

Myung-jin was tightening the knot of supply with a slightly depressed face.

“If you live as a hunter. I thought I could do a lot, but I couldn’t do as much as I thought I would.”

Myung-Jin Myung is a veteran hunter and a Korean hero who saved many lives.

However, the world only knew how much he was exposed to the media, not how many lives he had not saved.

Is that all?

It would be better if there were only ‘unsaved’ things.

“But you did it.”

After finishing the knot, Myung-jin smiled again and looked at Park Hyunsoo.

“So I think it’s great.”

“thank you.”

“I wish there were more hunters like you in the world. I wish there were more hunters who could do things that I couldn’t do on my own.”

The sincerity in those words made Park Hyunsoo’s heart desperate.

It has been only two years since the existence of the Hunter.

If it is long, it is long, if it is short, it is short.

And it was still the same today.

“It’s done. Now we can wait for the assembly signal.”

“I’m nervous.”

“I will. It will be the first portal attack after becoming a hunter.”

As if understanding, Myung-jin tapped Park Hyunsoo on the shoulder.

“By the way, you are great too. To take on such a relentless task for the first attack.”

Myung-jin’s gaze turned to the shore.

A huge portal was floating over the turbid sea.

The portal had a basic blue color, but a dark red energy was flowing around it like a haze.

“I didn’t participate in the attack on Paradise, but I did see the form of the portal from afar.”

That was a shock in itself.

The huge size that seemed to swallow the world overwhelms the scale of any S-class portal, and the dark red energy flowing around it dyed the entire sky red.

It was a sign of destruction, a death that would dry everything up.

“This is a fragment.”

Park Hyunsoo swallowed dry saliva as he looked at the portal of debris.

The portals he had seen so far were about five stories high.

But this one looked like a 20-story building.

Even without Myeong-jin’s explanation, I could roughly imagine how big the portal called ‘Paradise’ must have been.

So I couldn’t imagine it.

A size beyond human perception cannot be perceived even in the imagination.

[It will be dangerous.]

Chungyeong stuck out his tongue at that ominous form.

A long time ago, even when I was struck by the Kimunjinbeop of the Cheonhoja (天護子), I did not feel such an ominous feeling.

[Death lurks in there.]

At Chungyeong’s words, Park Hyunsoo couldn’t stop his expression from hardening.

He was a more sensitive teacher than anyone.

When Chungyeong said such a thing, I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like inside.

But I can’t help but believe it.

his own power.

the strength of his comrades.

“set!”

At that time, the assembly order was issued.

The two carried the supplies they had prepared on their backs and ran to it.

* * *

Ha Yu-rak went up to the simple podium and looked at his subordinates and opened his mouth.

“I explained the attack plan in detail in advance, so I won’t do it twice.”

The current Ha Yu-rak was different from his usual appearance, and he was also different from when he was leading the guild members.

“As you all know, today we are going to attack this.”

Ha Yu-rak turned only his finger back and pointed at his portal.

“It is a fragment of paradise.”

The crowd, who had already been quiet at the name, became even quieter.

“Some of these people have actually gone through paradise, others have only heard of and will not know.”

“Paradise was despair. It was a hell that took the lives of many hunters unworthy of its name.”

“But Paradise, as long as it is in it, literally brought everyone to Paradise. I was happy. Everyone felt satisfied in it to the extent that I wished it would never end.”

“But in the end, paradise was the bait, and it made great sacrifices. As you can see, Paradise was attacked twice.”

To say that it was tried twice means that the first attempt was unsuccessful.

And there was also Yurak Ha.

“In the first, everyone except the S-class was annihilated, and in the second, more than 30 people were killed, and nearly twenty were seriously injured.”

“You know what’s funny though? I was lucky enough to have this too. In fact, it should have failed.”

remember that day

I remember those who fell into the abyss in a world of hope.

“This is such a piece of hell.”

“So, I don’t know what kind of hope and happiness lies within this place. I don’t know what hell I’m going to drop it into as bait.”

He hadn’t shared the fragments with Takeshi yet, so he had no idea what the condition was.

I was only vaguely expecting it to be like a reduced paradise.

“We are trying to attack a portal that could be hell.”

“Hold up now. Even if you run away in fear, no one will blame you.”

The chief who had experienced paradise said so sincerely.

But no one raised a hand.

The corners of Ha Yoo-rak’s lips rose.“Don’t regret it.”

“The red lion doesn’t know that!”

Then one of the guild members shouted loudly.

starting with him.

“What are your regrets? Are you eating?”

“Are you going to regret it once or twice?”

“The attack will be successful. As always.”

“Fighting!”

“Gazah!”

Ha Yu-rak couldn’t help but laugh even if he didn’t want to laugh.



This was their own way of reassuring their captain.

Park Hyunsoo was both curious and happy because it was his first experience like this.

[The subordinates are raising their own morale for the captain. It’s a good thing.]

Park Hyunsoo nodded his head.

Although the portal is ominous, the Red Lion is the strongest in Korea.

A guild that could be compared in the world was selected.

‘The attack will be successful. As always.’

Park Hyunsoo repeated in his head what one of the hunters had said.

“enter!”

At Hayu-rak’s command, all the red lions entered the portal.

Fragments of Paradise radiated an ominous light.

* * *

When he first stepped into the portal, Park Hyunsoo couldn’t help but cringe.

“Other people… … ?”

All gone.

like a lie.

[I wanted to feel strong. Was it like this?]

“Damn it. Is it all torn to shreds?”

[It seems to be so.]

“My head hurts.”

Park Hyunsoo rubbed his forehead with his index and thumb while looking at the white sandy desert.

“Once back… … . Where did the exit go?!”

Obviously, the portal entrance that was there just disappeared.

I looked around other places, just in case, but all I found was sand.

“Damn it. What happened?”

[You’re weird.]

“What?”

[I don’t feel a sense of nature.]

“Yes? for a moment. Come to think of it.”

Park Hyunsoo immediately focused and felt the energy around him. But nothing felt like Chungyeong’s words.

[Even in the portal I entered in the past, I felt a sense of nature.]

“That means.”

[Probably a hallucination.]

Chungyeong’s eyes and senses were telling him that this unknown sand desert was fake.

“Are you saying that hallucinations are fake?”

[right. However, it is not an ordinary hallucination when you look at the implementation to this extent.]

“How can I get rid of hallucinations?”

[There is only one absolute thing.]

“Absolute?”

[Destroy the central part of the hallucination or the object. The hallucinations then disappear naturally.]

Park Hyunsoo saw a vast sandy desert.

[Well. It may take a year.]

“Damn it.”
