Chapter 89 – Ruler (9)

“Isn’t that in too much of a hurry? It’s not even over yet.”

“It has to do with my personal business, so please look at it.”

When I first contacted him, he did not approve, so Lee Ji-yeon went directly to the president and president of the association, Baek Seung-cheol.

Then he looked at me and comforted her. The previous case of stealing the dungeon core was something I shouldn’t have known about.

I should have known that she had a personal business at that time.

“Hey, would you mind going out for a while?”

In the end, perhaps he was trying to convince me, he sent me outside, and I went outside without hesitation. She won’t give up on her will anyway, and Baek Seung-cheol won’t be able to ignore her opinion as a valuable talent.

“How are things now?”

[In order to meet the new plan, all work has been suspended. Yuria continues to stay in the city, monitoring the location of the Elves and Raon, and other troops are on standby without attacking the lords of the central region.]

While I had time, I picked up my cell phone and talked to Lucy as if on a phone call.

Just as I am moving here, Lucy is also adapting her actions to our plan.

[The preparations are complete. If you send us a sample that will be the base for a super-giant flying species, we can immediately analyze the sample and produce a new soldier.]

“I’ll hurry as much as possible.”

Even though we were both alert and meticulous in this way, our hearts were a little impatient.

After all, there is a time limit. The moment when the church and the allied forces, who are trying to fight each other, collide. Because that moment is the timing we decided to invade.

While they were very confused and confused, our true purpose was to kidnap and return the target, the elf, Raon.

“Prepare to depart. The president of the association gave permission.”

“How did the training go?”

“They will do well by collaborating with the National Intelligence Service. It is clear that information was leaked from those involved in the transaction… If it’s not us or the US intelligence agency that gave us the information, it’s the other side.”

Before long, Lee Ji-yeon opened the door to the president’s office and confidently accepted permission. Before closing, I saw Baek Seung-chul holding his head in the door.

“I can’t help it because I’m in a hurry. We will leave as soon as possible.”

“Oh, but we’re not the only ones going.”

Anyway, the permission was dropped, so she caught me trying to handle the job.

“He said it would be nice to go as a team. Just in case.”

“I understand, but it is inefficient.”

I clicked my tongue and picked up the phone again. As the number of people increases, of course it gets late and there are more things to do.

I’ve gotten used to it to some extent, and I’m still holding on thanks to her, no matter what, but actually, this job wasn’t exactly suited to my aptitude.

“You can reduce the occurrence of gates by attacking dungeons. It means that it would be foolish to neglect that the monsters in the dungeon do not appear in reality.”

“But we are limited only by defending the gate.”

“That’s why I need help. The world helps.”

The man on the screen nodded and insisted strongly. It’s all in English, but Lucy translates anyway.

“There are people who don’t have the same purpose, but want to fight monsters anyway. If they can’t do anything, that’s waste and loss of life. The World Awakened Federation encompasses the world with such people…”

“See what?”

while listening to his speech. A head popped in from the seat next to it.

“Derek, Derek Crabbe.”

“Do you know who this is?”

I asked Oh Jin-hyeok, who recognized the man on the screen. I didn’t even know that I knew the exact name.

“I am very interested in this.”

The boy smiled and nodded his head. Of course, that is quite possible. Recently, there have been people who like awakened people more than most celebrities, and the fandom craze has been blowing.

“He is an Awakener who is rapidly emerging worldwide. The reason is because of his origins and actions.”

“right. Were you a current mercenary?”

I agreed with Oh Jin-hyeok’s answer. Derek Crabbe, a man with a rough impression, was originally a member of the PMC and has awakened. However, he built a team and continued his work. It’s just that the opponent has changed from a human to an invasive species.

A person who actively uses the Awakened Alliance Organization and travels around the world to ‘hunt’ monsters. People called him and his team ‘Hunters’ to distinguish them from ordinary Awoken.

Of course, there were also numerous people who liked that tough and daring look. Basically, it was possible because he was strong.

“But why are you watching his interview video?”

“Because there is a high probability that he will move with us in this operation.”

“Yes······?”

Come to think of it, I must have not told the party yet. Oh Jin-hyeok listened to my words and froze as if he was surprised.

It was like a girl fan who heard the news that she would be able to meet her favorite celebrity.

“The luggage will come on its own.”

“I don’t know how many times I’ve been to overseas countries that I’ve never been to in my life.”

The hot air of South Asia can be felt from the airport. It’s not only Lee Ji-yeon that overseas is awkward, but it’s the same for me. But I am in a position to take care of those who came with me.

Without the help of Lucy, who secretly helps, I assure you, I would not have been able to do this.

“Where should we go now?”

“You just go out and get in the vehicle. By the way······.”

The moment I was about to guide the party in the direction I had previously looked at, I saw something in my eyes.

“I consider it. Jiyeon Lee!”

A foreigner I had never seen before was waving at us in poor Korean.

[I can feel the subtle magic flowing.]

Lucy commented that she felt magical powers when she saw him. That means he is an Awakener.

“Our leader has sent you. Derek Crabbe, do you know?”

“Why does he want people…”

“Let’s meet and discuss the details. Lee Ji-yeon is an outstanding Awakener, and since she is in a position to fight together in the future, the leader was also concerned.”

He switched to English, introduced himself as a member of Derek Crabbe’s team, and suggested that we go together.

It’s an unexpected situation. However, when I returned the phone, it seemed that he was not lying.

“You decide.”

I postponed my choice to Lee Ji-yeon. After all, she is the host of our party.

“We aren’t the only Awakeners participating in this dungeon raid. Did you try contacting others first?”

“no. As I said, our leader was very serious about this mission, so he called those who he thought were the core.”

in a moving vehicle. In response to Lee Ji-yeon’s question, he took the wheel and told us why Derek Crabbe had called us.

Lee Ji-yeon is one of the most awakened people in Korea. In addition, since he was active in the last Behemoth incident and made his name known, it is only natural that his status rises.

“I can’t believe I’ll see him separately… I thought it was a miracle just looking at it from a distance.”

Oh Jin-hyeok, who was sitting in the seat next to me, seemed to be already very excited. Obviously, if you look at it like this, it’s nothing, it’s just a professional hunter’s meticulous work ahead of the dungeon raid.

But there was something that kept bothering me.

[Changes in heart rate and breathing, pupil movements, tremors and subtle hesitations inherent in voices, etc. Data-based reasoning suggests that he is lying now.]

And the cause, Lucy diagnosed and told me.

“Are you telling lies? Why Derek Crabbe?”

A kind of camp built near the dungeon. When Lee Ji-yeon and Oh Jin-hyuk arrived here, they went to meet Derek Crabbe separately.

Local soldiers, officials, as well as awakened people and journalists from all over the world are teeming with it, so the probability of something happening right now is low, but there must be a variable anyway.

[It is difficult to judge because there is no data on it.]

“Oh, no. Lucy, you focus on your work.”

I wandered around, muttering blankly, shaking my head unconsciously in surprise at Lucy’s answer.

Lucy’s computational power is capable of multitasking, handling many things at the same time, but there’s no need to waste it when you’re busy anyway.

“You have done your part well enough. I am here to solve it.”

[If you hypothesize based on your experience so far, it may be because he has been repeating his rapid growth compared to other Awakeners recently.]

Lucy was the last to put forward a hypothesis.

Clearly, as Lucy hypothesizes, he has recently continued to participate in battles and has survived steadfastly, achieving rapid growth.

“Well, I don’t know what kind of ability he has. Should I be careful?”

I groaned as I looked at the huge fissure hundreds of meters in diameter that I could see in the distance.

Now is the time to dispatch awakened people who are trained enough to commit suicide without hesitation in case of emergency and attempt an attack to steal things. I don’t know what will or won’t happen, but if I can be sure of one thing, it’s highly likely that it will happen the moment we enter that place.

[Information that Raon’s troops, which had stopped for a while, started moving again.]

“Then how much time do you have left? show me.”

Of course, no matter what happens in the future, I must get what I want. Because this isn’t just me.

[Those who stopped marching for a while are moving again. According to the news, it seems that they are waiting for reinforcements to join.]

Lucy showed a scout’s gaze. Although not as many as in the Pandemonium, Lucy and Yuria released scouts who took the form of ordinary flying beasts into the human world.

“Asmodians… they are. Are you a troll?”

And the scout saw a group of troops marching. Most of them appear to be human, but some of them are not.

A rugged, gigantic body that is familiar somewhere. Not the Oriath cave troll we killed, but apparently the same troll.

It’s kind of strange to see two armies with visuals that seem to be fighting each other walking together.

[And the troops of the Church currently being assembled.]

What Lucy continues to show are the soldiers of the Church who are gathering in advance. Compared to the Allied Forces, which even had demons like trolls, they looked ordinary, but I saw the madness and unstoppableness they showed.

However, looking at it from above, no weapons like firearms were yet to be seen.

“What is the estimated time remaining?”

[About 72 hours.]

The time given to me was three days. You have to send the sample to Lucy within three days so that Lucy can invade at the right time.

My heart felt heavy at the thought that the outcome was in my hands.
