The team leader Song Si-gun spoke of was the person in charge of the dealer team called Taurus in the Zodiac raid.

She was a surprisingly small and compact young woman, with a sword on her back that didn’t quite fit her.

She looked so ignorant of the great sword that she wondered if it would be comparable to cooking on an iron plate on it.

Her blade was longer than her stature, her handle jutting out over her crown.

While she wanted it to be too heavy to even carry, the woman opened her mouth.

She said, “You’re going to apply for this operation?”

“That’s right.”

When Ki Chul-min answered politely, the woman asked a question.

“Both of you, are you level 7 or higher? The dealer is definitely the position.”

“Here, this person can also be a buffer.”

“Hmm, okay?”

Ki Chul-min added a word about Jung Daesik, but the woman did not pay attention.

As she passed it on without a hitch, it was impossible to add that she was originally a ranged dealer.

“As you know, this is a dungeon raid, so there is no way to give up midway. If you decide to go back on the way back, we will not provide any support. You must agree to return all supplies and pay the penalty. However, we will support the treatment of any injuries that occur inside, but we are not responsible for the after-effects. All support is limited to the inside of the dungeon.”

Cheol-Min Ki and Daesik Jung nodded her head, and she held out her contract.

“The details are here, so read it carefully. After signing, you can go over there to our raid legal team and submit it. Oh! Before that, you need to measure your status. Our standard is level 7, as I just mentioned. If the number is below, you will not be able to apply. Regardless of your usual number, you must be at level 7 to measure here! Incentives are attached from level 6 or higher. The content is also in the contract, so check it out… Team assignment is This may change later.”

She rushed her ode to the woman who had been pouring out her words.

“What are you doing? Don’t take me.”

“Oh, yes.”

Song Si-gun broke through the crowds and took them to the barracks.

Whether it was a place where dealers were recruited, status measuring devices, medical staff for simple medical examinations and vaccinations, and the legal team taking out contracts were busy working.

Song Si-gun took them there and just left.

After a bit of hesitation, Jung Daesik and Ki Chul-min lined up to find a line to measure their status.

After a while, it was his turn and Ki Chul-min started to measure first.

He grabbed the handle of his appliance with a somewhat tense look.

After a short period of time, the results came out quickly.

Seeing the rating displayed on the screen, the person in charge frowned.

“You have reached level 8. You cannot participate. Next person!”

Ki Chul-min said in confusion.

“Wait, are you sure I’m level 7? Isn’t this a weird machine?”

The person in charge was annoyed that there were not one or two people like Ki Chul-min.

“The device is fine. The order is delayed, so please move out of the way.”

“Let’s add it one more time. It can’t be grade 8.”

“No. Get out of the way.”

“Let’s add one more time!”

After arguing with the person in charge, Ki Cheol-min added one more measure of status.

Fortunately, this time the result came out to be 7th grade.

It was at the level of barely doing pull-ups, but I was able to apply anyway.

Ki Cheol-min sighed in relief and wiped his chest.

After that Ki Chul-min, Jung Daesik rose to the status machine.

It was the first time since the status measurement was taken to obtain a Hunter license the other day.

Indeed, the results came out amid tensions over how many grades would come out.

Ki Cheol-min opened his mouth wide.

“Level 6!”

“Wow!”

When they saw his status rating, the people who were waiting in the back shed exclamations.

Among the wandering hunters who did not belong to the raid, rank 6 was rare.

Unless it’s a singular tendency to stick to solo even at risk, most of them will belong to the raid.

Amidst the murmuring of the people, Ki Cheol-min murmured in his envious tone.

“You could have given me a 10% fee.”

Jung Daesik didn’t say much.

Grade 6 or so, he had already expected.

The last time he spent over 650 million won, he raised his ability, so it was natural for him to get a rank of 6.

The two people who received the status printout received basic medical examinations and received various vaccines.

Then I submitted the signed contract and got a copy.

Finally, he received a mark on his wrist indicating that he belonged to the zodiac.

This made him a temporary member of the Zodiac raid.

They moved on and picked up some supplies.

A backpack containing basic items necessary for survival in the dungeon, such as simple emergency food, a purification stone that purifies contaminated water, a portable oxygen mask and internal communication device, a mark spray, a signal flare, a glow stick, a lighter, a wire, a water bottle, a sleeping bag, etc. Hemostasis, detoxification, antipyretic potions, flame resistance, ice resistance, speed, stealth scroll, hunting knife, pistol, etc. were attached to the chest belt.

Indeed, like a large raid, the supplies were plentiful.

Jung Daesik, who was checking them one by one, noticed that there was a small pill box next to the chest belt.

One was the red pill and the other was the blue pill.

Jung Daesik asked Ki Chul-min what it was used for.

“What is this?”

Ki Chul-min replied simply.

“Red is for runaway, blue is for suicide.”

“what?”

In response to Jung Daesik’s counter-question, he added a few clarifications, seemingly annoyed.

“These two are only used in real emergencies, that is, when there is a life-threatening crisis. If you take the red pill, you become a Berserker and can use abnormal powers. I use it when the red pill doesn’t work. One bite and it dies instantly. I use it when I’m trapped inside a carnivorous plant or eaten by a monster, or whatever… I’d rather die.”

After listening to Ki Chul-min, I realized just how dangerous this incident is.

Jung Daesik’s goal was to live forever and become wealthy, so I thought I should hand over the contract even now.

But Ki Chul-min, who is weaker than me, and other 7th grade hunters are also challenged.

It was an opportunity that could be a jackpot if done well, so I couldn’t get out of here.

‘Yes, you need to be scared before you even start.’

Jung Daesik hardened his heart and grabbed his gear.

A lunch box was provided to the hunters who finished their preparations.

After I forgot to eat a luxurious lunch box with beef bulgogi in it, and ate a piece of yogurt and chocolate pie, the temporary crew registration was completed.

Soon, the briefing began.

In front of the signboard installed on the truck for the event, a woman named Bull Sojwa, whom Jung Daesik and Ki Cheol-min met earlier, briefly introduced herself.

“Hello? I’m Mi-Gun Hwang, who is in charge of the Bull Seat, one of the dealer teams that will lead the temporary crews recruited here.”

Having finished her self-introduction by her bluntly revealing only her name, she began her thesis straight away.

“The place we need to enter today is a newly created dungeon in Ilsan Lake, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. The official name of this dungeon is GO8D, and according to preliminary research, insect-type monsters appear.”

Soon, the screen of the electronic display changed and the image of the monster that had been filmed came to mind.

It was a spider-type monster the size of a large dog with thick black hair.

“There are so many different types that they not only detain their prey with webs, but they also shoot stingers and attack with their eight sharp-pointed legs like hooks, and, as you can see, they bite and kill with their terrifying jaws. You have to be extremely careful.”

The screen flipped again.This time, it was a monster similar to an ant, although it was small in size, but there were a lot of them.

“This is also a monster that inhabits the GO8 dungeon. It moves in groups like ants. Once surrounded by these guys, it looks like they can’t even pick out bones. Besides that, caterpillars, mantis, centipedes, etc… very It’s diverse.”

Soon the screen turned off, and Hwang Mi-gun said with strength.

“Of course, this data was revealed through preliminary research, and it is only a small part of the GO8 dungeon. The depths of the dungeon will be infested with more ferocious monsters. Please go to the operation. Everything will be assigned by the team leader of the respective team. If you follow the orders faithfully, everyone here will be able to survive safely.”

It was an unfounded, vague hope.

It was just an obvious sound, so Jung Daesik listened to Hwang Mi-geon with one ear and spilled it with the other.

Hwang Mi-gun did not say for a long time whether she was aware of that fact.

“Then, after the briefing is over, after confirming each team to be announced, you can get on the bus with the team’s name on it. Finally… I’ll just shout the Hunter’s slogan and finish.”

Jung Daesik questioned briefly.

‘A Hunter’s slogan?’

At that moment, a cry that Jung Daesik was familiar with rang out.

“Those who have been chosen by God! Exterminate the beings of the other world!”

The hunters who gathered the words shouted by Hwang Mi-gun shouted all at once.

“Then you will gain strength!”

“We are Hunters!”

“It’s a Hunter!”

“We hunt!”

“Hunting!”

“Therefore it exists!”

“exist!”
