Return To Level Up

Chapter 49

The impact that just one fight brought to the dark area was not small.

Taesan was at war with the other three organizations that shared the areas of Seoul and Gyeongji.

Still, he was leading the war taut, or rather advantageously.

Everyone had no choice but to acknowledge Tae-san’s ability, or even Ji Chang-gi’s ability to lead Tae-san.

However, the organizations that fought against them were also not formidable.

Because they were also the ones who ruled the nights of Seoul and Gyeonggi for a long time.

And the last battle of the war took place in a warehouse area in Gyeonggi-do.

Only 30 people survived that day. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the core of your organization has actually collapsed.

What was even more shocking was that Ji Chang-gi died in the process.

Who would have thought that Ji Chang-gi would die?

In any case, when Ji Chang-ki died, Tae-san was in a situation that was as good as collapsed.

I don’t know if he just went and died alone, but he dragged out the elite of the organization and killed them all.

Taesan was almost impossible to revive.

The other two organizations, including Myung-il, were in a similar situation. The fight was too big that day.

Still, he didn’t go all-in like Taesan, so he had the strength to maintain the organization, but at this rate, people like Seungnyang would eat him up.

They showed signs of moving slowly.

All the organizations that had been holding their breath due to lack of strength in the meantime, raised their heads to the surface.

As a result, a night war began in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.

A mess ensued.

But few people paid any attention to them.

Few means that someone is interested.

One of them was Hajin Kang.

Kang Ha-jin was quietly listening to Myung In-hyuk talking excitedly.

“This is today’s distribution of power.”

The current situation of dark districts in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province was clearly organized so that it could be checked through tables and diagrams on a single sheet of paper.

“And this is a recently recruited informant.”

Myung In-hyuk, who handed over a few more documents, looked at Kang Ha-jin with sparkling eyes.

It was like a puppy looking for praise.

“Is this informant recruited by those organizations?”

“Yeah. We considered all growth potential and embraced it. They are the ones who will not starve to death even if they leave the organization.”

“Awesome.”

It was sincere. I had no idea that such an information network could be laid out in such a short time.

To be honest, this was not what I expected from Myung In-hyuk, but high-quality information that I personally extracted.

All in all, it seems that he judged Myung In-hyuk too simplistically.

Myung In-hyuk was different in his ability to handle information.

‘So, did you get that skill?’

Perhaps he thought that he might not assign the skill randomly, but give it down according to his talent.

“So, who do you think will win the war in the dark district?”

“No one can win.”

Kang Ha-jin looked at Myung In-hyuk with curious eyes.

“We will accumulate damage to each other like this, and at the right time, each will build their own territory and settle down. Unless someone intervenes.”

Hajin Kang lit up her eyes.

“Does that mean someone is intervening now?”

“Not yet, but there are signs of it.”

“Who?”

Myung In-hyuk chuckled.

“Who is who? It’s obvious.”

“Jaeyoung?”

“Jaeyoung is one of them. If you add Hwashin, Shilla, and ATG to that, she is perfect.”

Hajin Kang laughed.

“Those who are behind the scenes are obsessed with the dark side.”

“They were really bad guys. Every time she finds out something, the stink stinks her nose.”

“So, what are they up to this time?”

“It seems they are trying to reorganize the Dark District to suit their tastes.”

“It’s a reorganization…”

“It is rather difficult to integrate, so we plan to manage them appropriately.”

“Are you trying to form a coalition by selecting an organization that will be the center?”

“That’s correct. It seems that the organization selection and classification have already been completed.”

“I’m guessing you’re in contact.”

“So I figured it out.”

Myung In-hyuk smiled brightly and held out another sheet of paper.

“This is the list of people in charge of each organization and the support we promised.”

Ha-jin Kang received her documents, checked them, and admired them once more.

“How the hell did you find out about this?”

“The role of informants is huge. And the electronics are used appropriately. The equipment developed by the equipment manufacturing team is also very useful.”

And there is information that Myung In-hyeok moved by himself, and there are awakeners with special skills among the agents of the intelligence team.

“Anyway, it was a lot of work. We will continue to monitor it in the future, and if there is an unusual situation, we will contact you immediately.”

“Yeah.”

Ha-jin Kang was reassured that he had Myung In-hyuk.

“Really, what about Insu? Are you still leveling up?”

Myung In-hyuk smiled bitterly.

“Yeah. I was very excited about leveling up these days. I was even asked to tell you that my magic power has improved a lot now.”

“okay? Then I’ll see you soon.”

If the magic power increased a lot, it was necessary to build up data on the use of skills and magic power little by little from now on.

You never know when you’ll need Master Insoo’s skill.

“But it’s really hard to see Insu.”

I think I’ve come quite often to meet Myung In-soo, but I’ve never met him before.

“These days, it’s almost like living in a dungeon. To be honest, I can’t see very well.”

“okay? Are you a little worried? Do you know which dungeon you went to?”

“Yeah.”

Myung In-hyuk was constantly checking the location of his younger brother. He entered a dungeon located not far from now.

When he wrote down the location of the dungeon on a memo, Ha-jin Kang confirmed it and his expression hardened.

‘I should go in and check it, but I don’t feel good for some reason?’

“Why?”

Myung In-hyuk asked cautiously with a worried expression. It was because I saw Kang Ha-jin’s face hardened for a moment.

Hajin Kang shook her head.

“I just feel a little bad. I’d better go and check it out.”

Kang Ha-jin left Myeong In-hyeok with an anxious expression behind and quickly left the guild headquarters.

* * *

After the disaster, public opinion that the dungeon should be closed quickly was formed.

Hajin Kang played the biggest role in creating that public opinion.

It was because he knew better than anyone what kind of disaster would happen later if he didn’t close the dungeon quickly.

So Ha-jin Kang used all the cards he could use to form public opinion.

A-Market and Dungeon Breaker were a big help.

In any case, thanks to such a strong public opinion, it became difficult for the Awakening Management Office or the giant guild to comfortably capture a dungeon and generate profits as before.

If you are caught doing something like that, you will be hit with public scrutiny at once.

When political pressure began to come in earnest, it was difficult for even a large guild or a large corporation to endure.

So now, it has become a natural thing to quickly process the dungeon and search for the next dungeon.

When the Awakening Management Office found a dungeon, it was thoroughly reported, and it was distributed sequentially to each guild and to the applicants.

Of course, there was no fair distribution.

However, Dungeon Breaker did not have a big problem with being assigned a dungeon. Of course, no matter how much it was, it was not as good as a large corporation or a giant guild.

The dungeon with Master Insu was one of the dungeons assigned to Dungeon Breaker, and it was located near Cheonggyecheon.

Ha-jin Kang was slightly anxious because of her memory that came to mind when he heard only the location of Cheonggyecheon.

A dungeon that appeared in Cheonggyecheon before returning came to mind. The timing is a little different, but there are a lot of changes now from before the return, so you might not have known.

Cheonggyecheon is not far from the Guardian’s headquarters. Ha-jin Kang hurriedly ran to Cheonggyecheon.

The location of the dungeon was not exactly Cheonggyecheon, but it was nearby. But there was no problem finding it.

Because I was in a place where I could see Cheonggyecheon.

At the entrance of the dungeon, there were the Awakening Administration staff and the Dungeon Breaker staff.

And there were bodyguards from the bodyguards contracted with Dungeon Breaker.

If you are hunting in a dungeon, it is to prevent anyone from breaking in and disturbing you or creating a dangerous situation.

As Ha-jin Kang approached the dungeon, the bodyguards came out first.

“We are hunting in Dungeon Breaker.”

Sleeping with the bodyguards blocking it, Ha-jin Kang looked at his staff.

Of course, if you are an employee of Dungeon Breaker, you should know Kang Ha-jin’s face.

“uh? Aren’t you the Master of the Guardians?”

An employee ran up to me and said hello to Ha-jin Kang.

“Hello, this is Park Young-ho. I said hello before…”

“Yeah. I remember. Hello.”

When Ha-jin Kang found out, Young-ho Park could not hide his joy.

“But what’s going on here…… Ah! It’s because of Myung In-soo.”

Hajin Kang nodded his head.

“Yeah. Can I come in?”

“Oh, of course. You can go right in. I will take care of the rest.”

When Park Young-ho glanced at the management office employee and said so, Kang Ha-jin slightly lowered his head.

“Thank you. I will never forget your convenience.”

Park Young-ho’s mouth was wide open.

“Oh, if you do, I am very, very grateful. Come on, come on in.”

Hajin Kang hurriedly entered the dungeon.

Park Young-ho looked at Kang Ha-jin without taking his eyes off him until he disappeared.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang, who entered the dungeon, first looked around.

“I think this is probably right.”

On the surface, it was a very ordinary dungeon with a wasteland spread out.

The dungeons that appeared after the disaster were not very difficult.

It was kind of a break.

The level of monsters that appear is low and hunting is not difficult, so the environment was quite good for low-level awakeners like Mastermind to grow.

Before the return, the rest period was about 4 months.

And at the end of that break, a dungeon that signals the start of a full-scale dungeon war appears, which in Korea was the Cheonggyecheon dungeon.

So I was a little apprehensive. I did not know that this dungeon would appear since less than a month had passed.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘Well, because everything is faster.’

This dungeon looks normal, but the flowing magic was different from other dungeons.

Compared to the existing dungeon’s magic, it was much more violent and plentiful.

The monsters living in these dungeons couldn’t be normal.

Hajin Kang hurriedly entered the dungeon.

He ran towards a place where the flow of magic was much rougher than anywhere else.

Soon, a huge pile of stones appeared.

It was a pile of stones almost the size of a small hill. It wasn’t an ordinary stone, it was a monster.

As Ha-jin Kang approached, a pile of stones began to rise.

It soon became a giant golem.

He reflexively used a peek skill.

[Stone Giant][Level: 358][Health: 1350000, Magic Power: 320000][Ground shaking, crushing, body restoration, stone ball bullets][The vanguard of the monster army sent by Marbas. The monster sent as part of the second plan when the chaos monster failed to secure a base.]

“It’s fortunate.”

The real monster that appears in this dungeon is here, so the monsters elsewhere are probably normal.

As the dungeon war began, the biggest change that occurred in the dungeon was the duration of the dungeon.

The Cheonggyecheon dungeon exploded not long after it was created.

And that stone giant appeared and swept the surroundings.

It was not enough to shake the ground with every step he took, so he crushed everything he touched with [Crushing].

But that was nothing compared to the other two skills.

[Body Restoration] was a skill that rebuilt a broken body by sucking stones or soil around it.

It was a monster that could barely be killed by letting all of that magical power be used up because magical powers were used to restore the body.

Lastly, [Stone Bead Bullet] was a skill that made countless stone beads in the palm of the hand and fired them.

Because it was as destructive as shooting a machine gun, he had to take a lot of damage from that skill before returning.

‘By the way, what’s the second plan?’

Maybe because it was a keyword related to Marbas, the information was not opened even though I used the peeping skill.

But it wasn’t that hard to guess.

It must have something to do with the dungeon.

‘For example, using dungeons to create a passage between Earth and another world.’

Whoops!

While Ha-jin Kang was thinking about something else, the stone giant started moving slowly toward Ha-jin Kang.

“Yeah, we’ll have to start with that guy first.”

Hajin Kang has the [Crushing] skill wrapped around his hand.
