Return To Level Up

The mainstays of the Defenders were in Antarctica and the Sahara.

Nothing was known about what they were doing there.

No, hardly anyone knew they were there.

Every movement was so secret that there was no way to find out except for a few people with special talents for gathering information.

The heart of the Sahara Desert.

Dozens of tents were erected.

Each tent was huge. The inside was wide enough for even a soccer match.

It must have been no easy task to erect such a huge tent, but it was even strong enough to completely block the sand winds of the desert.

Inside the tent, the Awoken of the Defenders had gathered.

There were hundreds of Awoken, about half lying on the cots on the edge of the tent.

But it wasn't very good. Everyone was sulking.

There were sap packs next to all the extra beds, which contained sap mixed with special potions, not just sap.

It was a sap that not only raises fatigue and physical condition, but also restores the depleted magical power.

It was a potion that took time and slowly filled up without replenishing magical power rapidly.

It was a potion made for the purpose of cost performance, and it was a good potion to use in such a case.

Because the Awoken here were pouring magical energy in three shifts.

A deep hole was drilled in the center of the tent. It was a hole dug by the Awoken with their shovels and abilities.

The hole was very deep, and dozens of Awoken were inside the hole.

“Retire! Then come down!”

A hand-operated simple elevator installed in the pit moved.

The Awoken who had already ridden there went down, and when the elevator came up again, the Awoken who sat down with exhaustion were riding.

“It’s terribly difficult. How long do I have to do this?”

One of the Awoken grumbled.

"Yeah. But what can I do? If we don't sacrifice, the world will end. At least we have to stop the earth from splitting.”

they knew that

Below this pit was a crack.

The floor was torn apart, and the universe was visible through the torn gap.

It wasn't the real universe, but something that looked like space.

There was a constant flow of power that felt very dangerous.

What the Awakened here did was pour magic into the rift.

Instead of just pouring out magic, I had to put in the magic that was refined using a special method.

The process of refining the magic was very difficult, but they endured it.

Because I could feel that the amount of dangerous power flowing out was definitely reduced when I put in magic.

However, if the magic power was stopped even for a moment, the power overflowed explosively.

It would be nice to be able to get rid of this rift, but it seemed impossible.

Just blocking it like this was enough to overpower it.

Besides, the fact that there are cracks like this not only here but also in Antarctica shows how serious the situation is.

“Will people even know what we are doing?”

“Someday you will find out.”

And one day everyone will know that they are heroes.

They did not doubt it.

There was no doubt that the magical energy they pushed in shook the cracks and opened up dungeons all over the earth.

* * *

Japan was an abandoned land.

Everyone died or fled abroad, becoming a land of monsters.

Since it has been neglected since then, dungeons were created and exploded repeatedly.

Naturally, the density of monsters increased.

As the number of monsters increased, there were also monsters that mutate like mutants.

A monster that would not have arisen had it not been left unattended.

Mutant monsters were mostly large and powerful.

Also, there were those who had [predation] among them.

[Predation] was a skill like a blessing to a monster. Just by eating other monsters, you can become stronger and jump over walls.

Thus, Japan became increasingly dangerous land.

Meanwhile, a giant dungeon appeared in Japan.

When a super-giant dungeon with a diameter of 500 meters appeared, the whole world was nervous.

The dungeon that appeared in Russia just a while ago was just like this.

At that time, the Russian dungeon exploded and the whole world fell into chaos.

The situation was so similar back then that the atmosphere was created in the direction that everyone had to close the Japanese dungeon.

The giant dungeon that appeared in each country decided to solve it on their own, and the story progressed to focus the rest of the energy on the giant dungeon that appeared in Japan.

At the center was the Guardian.

Each country's Awakening Association has requested that the Guardians act as the main axis for this super-giant dungeon subjugation.

The Guardians gladly accepted it.

And the heads of countries participating in this super-giant dungeon conquest gathered and discussed several times.

In Guardians, of course, Yoon Kyung-min participated.

The discussion wasn't about closing the dungeon. It was about what happened after closing the dungeon.

When you hunt, loot will naturally follow.

Much of the discussion that ensued was about the distribution of the spoils.

And the rest of the discussion was about the procurement of materials and funds needed for the conquest.

Although it was quite sharp as it was about the actual profit, Yoon Kyung-min achieved quite a great result there too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We didn't just talk about loot and grants, it continued to talk about the future.

In the future, if the land was reclaimed by subjugating Japanese monsters, we started discussing the ownership of it.

Of course, no conclusion has been reached on that point.

But the discussion has only just begun. While subjugating Japan's giant dungeon, we planned to continue the discussion.

Yoon Kyung-min, who started the job, looked very happy.

It wasn't a joke that Kyung-Min Yoon was currently working on the job.

It was natural for him to manage the guild management and countless businesses, which he usually did, and Yoon Kyung-min was also doing development around Reid Ross Castle in Paju recently.

To that, preparations for subjugation of Japan were added.

He also prepared for it because he decided to send the Guardian's guild members to the huge dungeons that are currently appearing around the world.

In addition to that, he was also helping the operation of Dungeon Breaker.

Even that alone is no joke, but since we are even discussing the future after reclaiming Japan, how many things are concentrated on one person?

Nevertheless, Yoon Kyung-min was happy and happy.

In particular, if he could get any part of the huge land of Japan, he liked it even more, because there are so many things he could do there later.

After reading the last page of the report, Hajin Kang put it down on the desk.

Yoon Kyung-min was sitting in front of Kang Ha-jin and smiling.

“You look happy.”

"of course. Even if I don't eat a lot these days, I feel full. If we take back Japan, I think we will be able to eat at least 10%.”

If it was 10% of Japan, it was really great. However, Yoon Kyung-min's goal was not just that.

“For now, my goal is 25%. You have to bring that much to make a living. We will also play a pivotal role in the Japanese conquest.”

Ha-jin Kang looked at Yoon Kyung-min, who said that with a casual expression.

The dark circles under Yoon Kyung-min's eyes seemed to have gotten thicker.

“Are you sleeping?”

"of course. No matter how much recovery skill you have, you must sleep. I try my best to sleep at least 30 minutes a day.”

Ha-jin Kang thought he would get tired of talking more, so he quickly turned away.

“When can I go to Japan?”

As soon as the words fell, Yoon Kyung-min leaned forward with a meaningful expression and approached Kang Ha-jin.

“That’s why… I’m going to try to make a bridgehead in Japan this time.”

“A bridgehead?”

“It’s about reclaiming a port and putting the right power into it to manage it.”

“Is that possible? That would require a huge amount of manpower and supplies.”

“Once the bridgehead is built, there is no problem. People who go to dungeon subjugation, I plan to collect them and take them to Korea.”

"You're going to use them to clean the harbor area."

“That’s right.”

Kyung-min Yoon continued with a smile.

“It’s a win-win. I have to build a base camp, so it's not something I have to do anyway. It’s a good thing for each other, as a little more care and arrangement will make you feel comfortable while you are in Japan.”

Hajin Kang nodded his head.

“Whatever you do, let’s do it well.”

“That’s why I’m telling you…”

Ha-jin Kang was startled by the ominous feeling suddenly spreading around Yoon Kyung-min.

“There are a few monsters in Japan that seem to be impossible to deal with without a master.”

Kyungmin Yoon held out his tablet. There were images taken from satellites.

A huge jellyfish-shaped monster moved dozens of tentacles to snatch surrounding monsters.

The jellyfish monster put the monsters it had caught in its large mouth and munched and ate it.

How many did you eat like that? The jellyfish monster's body grew slightly, and a few new tentacles grew.

And the rest of the tentacles got longer.

“When you eat monsters like this, they seem to grow and grow stronger.”

Yoon Kyung-min's gaze slightly touched Baek-ho in Kang Ha-jin's arms and then fell.

“If left unattended, he will surely cause problems later. There are several others besides this one.”

Hajin Kang nodded his head.

“I take care of it.”

Yoon Kyung-min got up from his seat.

“Then I have a few things to deal with, so I'll just leave. Oh, there is still plenty of space, but you will have to work on it sooner or later. I will set up some warehouses.”

Yoon Kyung-min left those words and disappeared like the wind.

“Not one, but how many?”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Ha-jin Kang sat there blankly for a while as the words kept ringing in his ears.

And for a while she thought seriously about revealing the recipe for her ah space creation.

He, of course, decided not to disclose it.

I sighed though.

Spain is one of the countries where the giant dungeon appeared.

Thanks to its location in Europe, it was smoothly attacking the huge dungeon with the support of neighboring countries.

Of course, the biggest strength among them was the support of the Guardians.

The Guardians sent 150 guild members to Spain, and their skills were superior to the combined hundreds of Awoken sent from European countries combined.

Federico, president of the Spanish Awakening Association, smiled contentedly when he saw the progress of the dungeon raid.

“Certainly, the Guardians are great. You can use drones so freely in the dungeon.”

"Yes. So we can guess how much time is left until the dungeon attack, so everyone likes it.

It's really hard to attack when you don't know when it will end.

If you know the end exactly, you can exert strength in various ways depending on the situation.

“If the attack continues like this, it will be over within a week.”

"Yes. We expect it to be finished within six days at the earliest, or eight days at the latest.”

“Good. very good. Would it be the same for dungeons in other countries?”

"Yes. The Guardians have been so successful in other places, so I think they all end around the same time.”

Federico tilted his head.

“Actually, this is a very important event, so why are the Defenders so quiet?”

"I do not know. Not only this time, but I have been very inactive for a while.”

“Have you given up? The Guardian is so powerful?”

“I didn’t think so, but I’m a little curious too.”

Federico felt something ominous.

“Look more closely. I don't have a good feeling..."

"Yes. We will investigate as much as possible.”

“Don’t do it alone, ask other associations.”

“You mean another association? Do you mean to send the official notice?”

Federico shook his head with a frustrated expression.

"Crazy? You can't turn this into an official document. deal with it informally. It means using the information networks of other associations to find them. Do you understand?”

"Yes. Okay."

Federico's expression turned cold as the subordinate went out.

“What the hell are these kids doing without contact? If you invest, you don’t have to pay dividends.”

People around the world who thought and acted similarly to Federico were appearing.

The Defenders are starting to change.
