Return To Level Up

The number of super-giant dungeons that appeared before the return was 72.

A super-giant dungeon here refers to a dungeon with a diameter of more than 1 kilometer.

The reason why we divided the standards like that is that dungeons with a diameter of more than 1 kilometer were significantly different from dungeons with a diameter of less than one kilometer.

Once over the wall, at least one monster was inhabiting it.

Of course, I didn't know that it was a monster that jumped over the wall before the return, but I could tell just by looking at it that it was a monster that was strong enough to be different from other monsters.

Also, there was an unusual structure inside.

There was a huge mountain range in the super-giant dungeon where he met Marbas, and a labyrinth was spread out in that mountain range.

I also met Marbas in the labyrinth.

Looking back, there was no way I could have closed the dungeon where only a few monsters had crossed the wall at that level.

No matter how strong Ha-jin gave a huge buff, even if hundreds of supporters helped, it was by no means easy.

But at the time, even though it was dangerous and difficult, I didn't think it was such a huge task.

It was because the emotions and dangers I felt at the time were that much.

Naturally, this happened because Jason, Jennifer, and William had deceived their powers.

Then, why did they dare to deceive Ha-jin Kang and hand it over to Marbas?

To be honest, if they had made up their minds, they could have easily killed Ha-jin, who was strong at the time.

After finding out their identities, Kang Ha-jin thought about it whenever he had spare time.

He's in trouble if he ever has something he's missed.

It must have been because of his special buff skill that he used himself until he met Marbas.

And if so, it was clear that they weren't this strong in the first place.

He gradually grew stronger while hunting with Hajin Kang, and in order to close the super-giant dungeon, the power of buffs and healing must have been necessary.

Of course, this is all just a household. Also, there are parts where the angler doesn't fit.

First of all, compared to before the return, the Guardians brought a significant portion of the Defenders to hunt.

In fact, it progressed so quickly that it wasn't long after the first disaster happened.

Therefore, the time for them to grow was overwhelmingly short compared to before the return.

However, for some reason, the atmosphere now seemed to be similar to or even stronger than before their return.

Maybe that's one of the side effects of regression.

‘But why did the real Marvass hold hands with Jason?’

It was that part that Hajin Kang was most curious about.

Before the return, his skills and senses were much less than they are now, so he could hardly grasp the extent of Marbas's power at the time.

But judging by the combination of various circumstances, it must have been at least a bit of a shame. Or a little stronger.

If that's the case, wouldn't there be no reason to join hands with Jason and the crew?

I'd just have to wipe it all away.

‘Are there any restrictions?’

Hajin Kang shook her head while thinking about it.

Now there is something more urgent than that.

‘It’s a giant dungeon. It’s also three kilometers long.’

Among the super-giant dungeons that appeared before the return, there was only one 3 km long.

And from that dungeon Marvas came out.

Hajin Kang had an ominous thought.

Could it be that Marbas has already appeared?

Even though he thought it was impossible, Ha-jin Kang hurriedly headed to Japan.

This was something I had to check with my own eyes.

* * *

Jason, William and Jennifer arrived in Japan.

They built an airport at a base in the US to get to and from Japan quickly.

That was what the Defenders asked for in help with the last incident in Japan.

In the United States, it was the first priority to solve it, and this time, it benefited greatly.

The three first looked at the atmosphere at the American base.

The atmosphere was disturbed because of the huge dungeon that suddenly appeared in Japan.

Originally, Japan was a country that was difficult to observe with satellites.

This was not the case in the past, but the satellite images and images were not as clear as if there had been a haze for a while.

Still, the super-giant dungeon could be clearly identified.

First off, it was way too big.

Because the diameter was 3 km, it meant that the dungeon was 3 km high from the ground.

In fact, Jason and the crew knew in advance that the dungeon would appear.

I didn't know it was going to be held in Japan.

Of course, I made a guess. It is highly likely to be held in Japan.

Japan was an unstable region in many ways.

That's why dungeons are always open. Instead, other regions were gradually finding stability.

It felt like the power of the cracks open on the earth were all concentrated in Japan.

“Looking at the atmosphere, you seem to be preparing to step out based on the situation?”

"right. We are halfway through the preparations for the evacuation.”

“Then you called us?”

“You knew it was going to be like this. We just have to do what we have to do.”

“If you wait and the Guardian fails to conquer the dungeon, you mean to go in and solve it?”

Jason nodded his head. His expression was heavy.

“Don’t be sure yet. 'Cause nothing's decided I can't trust Marvas."

“Who do you believe? Marbas is the Demon King.”

It is foolish to believe in the Demon King. The existence of the Demon King is always moving with betrayal in mind.

You'll always look for a chance to hit the back of the head.

So, you have to prepare accordingly. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to be hit than to be hit in the back of the head?

“However, I’m glad things worked out.”

There was no disagreement with that statement.

What they did was more of an adventure.

He twisted the order of progress using all his abilities.

Jason looked at Jennifer with a new look.

“Honestly, I never thought you would have that kind of power.”

“Me too. I didn't know I could be of any help in this way.”

“To seduce the contractor of Marbas. That would be possible.”

Jennifer laughed softly.

“Because I didn’t even know it was possible? To be honest, it didn’t work for Jason’s contractor, did it?”

“It was.”

Jason glanced at Jennifer with a slightly suspicious look, but no one noticed.

Doubts grew in the corner of Jason's mind.

Wouldn't it really be tempting? I was tempted, but maybe I'm deceiving myself? And maybe it's possible that Jennifer can seduce herself if she wants to?

these doubts.

“They are coming again.”

At William's words, Jason and Jennifer's eyes moved.

The commander of the base was approaching from the direction they were looking.

He wanted the Defenders to reside here.

He came often to persuade him to come up with the plan. He spoke enthusiastically about the value that Japan will have in the future.

But that was an area that the Defenders knew better than the commander.

Of course, I was thinking of eating Japan. And the Defenders alone.

To do so, it was necessary to take over the entire US base.

Also, all other bases must be destroyed.

There was no need to worry about the Spanish base, as if left alone, it would destroy itself.

But the Guardians were different.

It will continue to grow if left alone.

Of course, there was a way to deal with it.

‘Move quickly.’

Jason's eyes lit up as he looked in the direction of the Guardian's base city.

Not much left now.

One day I will become the king of this earth.

"Yes? Are you going there alone? never!"

Kim Ji-hye opposed it with a shocked expression.

Then, Hwang Soo-young, who was with him at the same time, no, Kang Ha-jin said that he was coming, so he didn't even bother hunting, but also called out against the association.

“Where are you going alone? Am I doing my own thing now? I'm sure it will help, so go with me. Jihye Kim and Jiyoung Lee here too. Maybe you will be surprised if we go together?”

Likewise, Jeong-in, who ran away from her work because of Ha-jin Kang, could not hide her worried expression.

“I don’t feel good. I think it's very different from the dungeons I've been in so far. The size is too big. So why don't you reconsider?"

Not only them, but everyone in this place shared the same opinion.

“It’s like you’re leaving Baekho as well. Then you're really going alone..."

Hajin Kang listened intently to everyone's opinions with her mouth shut.

Of course, it had no effect on the decision.

"I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to look around," she said. If there are too many people for reconnaissance, it can become even more dangerous.”

She knows that Ha-jin Kang is right, but her heart still doesn't allow it.

So she continued to object.

But she couldn't break Ha-jin Kang's determination.

"If my guess is correct... a really tough fight awaits in that dungeon."

“So, shall we go together?”

Hajin Kang shook her head.

“That was after more thorough preparation later. For now, confirmation comes first.”

When the mood got serious, she bit everyone. Hajin Kang glanced around his left and spoke.

“So everyone, prepare yourself.”

“Are you ready?”

Everyone's eyes lit up at the word ready.

“We need to be able to fight monsters that are much stronger than the current white tigers.”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned by those words.

Because everyone knows how strong the current white tiger is.

Baekho recently crossed the third wall. The power of such a white tiger was so great that it was not at all a waste to say that it was a monster.

A monster much stronger than that white tiger. I mean, what kind of guy came out?(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“I have to raise the level a lot more than I am now.”

Everyone's expressions hardened slightly at Kim Ji-hye's words.

Hajin Kang asked calmly.

“Is it possible?”

As soon as she was asked a question, she answered all of them almost at the same time.

"I could! No, I will definitely do it.”

Hajin Kang smiled brightly at their reaction.

“Once we set the minimum goal to be the current white tiger, we should start. Don't forget that you have to be stronger than that.”

It was a terrifying remark, but no one showed it outwardly.

Everyone just nodded with eager eyes.

Hajin Kang looked at them and said briefly.

“I believe.”

It was a simple word, but the sincerity touched her heart and she couldn't say anything.

Kang Ha-jin left those words and turned around and moved her steps.

They watched Kang Ha-jin's back to the end.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang, who left the base city, quickly ran towards the dungeon.

Most of the monsters he encountered along the way were left alone.

Only monsters that crossed the mixed wall were dealt with.

Moving at such a high speed, he was able to arrive at the place where the super-giant dungeon was located.

It was the same place where Innotul, the mobile fortress, appeared and drilled a dimensional hole.

At that time, I was very reluctant to drill a hole, but in the end, he was causing trouble until the end.

But if you think otherwise, things just got better.

Since then, most of the disasters in the world have been concentrated in Japan.

Other regions found stability over time.

Renat played a significant role in this.

Renat was constantly researching and finding new ruins.

Even before he came to Japan, he found a relic and incorporated it into the system.

As I continued to clean up the remnants of the past, the strength of the rift was gradually weakening.

And as the impact of the crack decreased, it felt like the force that restrained it became stronger.

So, most of the power of the crack that was supposed to burst was focused on Japan.

Ha-jin Kang, who arrived at the dungeon, stared at the huge black sphere.

As soon as I saw it, I immediately felt it.

You have to go inside to know for sure, but you can tell just by looking at it.

This was the dungeon that Marvass had come out of.
