Episode 136

The next day.

Baek Sa-jun headed to Wando Port. Of course, the road wasn’t easy. There were many monsters on the way to Wando Port.

The only fortunate thing is that.

‘It’s a bus so it’s somewhat comfortable.’

There is a bus to Wando Port.

Although it was not a bus equipped with defensive equipment like an armored taxi, it was a bus armed with sturdy armor.

It’s a structure where the hunters on the bus counterattack while the monsters’ attacks are withstood with gloves.

“We have arrived!”

Baek Sa-jun rode the bus and chased away the monsters, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Wando Port.

The first thing you see is a high wall.

And there was the sight of soldiers on the wall, keeping a sharp eye on the surroundings.

“Who are they? Where do they belong?”

“Jeju Island Liberation Union. They run Wando Port. They say that there are a lot of monsters and forces targeting this place, so they keep the security pretty tight.”

“Hey, that must have cost a lot of money.”

I heard the hunters talking.

The road to Wando Port was rough, but Wando Port itself was relatively safe with no particular danger.

“Hey, Maseok! Be careful getting down!”

“Get them on the truck quickly! We’ll be leaving soon!”

“Don’t stop, keep moving!”

The inside of Wando Port was extremely busy.

Large crates were unloaded from several ships, and port workers loaded them onto trucks.

It’s probably a magic stone box.

‘The rank may not be that high, but with that number, well… even if the rank is low, it could still make money.’

After a while, trucks loaded with magic stones left Wando Port under heavy guard.

I guess they’re going to the mainland to sell it.

“Mercenaries planning to go to Jeju Island, come this way!”

“Bring your tickets!”

As I was watching the scenery of Wando Port, the time came to confirm the identities of the mercenaries.

The identity was not strictly verified.

It was even more difficult to do so because there was no database that could do it, and because of the nature of the mercenary profession, they were wandering around.

“A wizard?”

“hmm…….”

Baek Sa-jun handed over the mercenary license he had received from Han Sang-gyu. It belonged to a mercenary who had died not long ago.

Since the license had been modified appropriately, no one found it particularly suspicious.

Just showing interest in Baek Sa-jun’s class.

“What magic can I use?”

“Freezing magic. Lightning is also possible.”

“Can you show me now?”

Baek Sa-jun instantly united with Magnus and used on himself.

The sailors who saw the magic nodded.

“Well, I guess this is enough. Go.”

“You’ll have to fight monsters a few times along the way, so prepare well.”

As Han Sang-gyu said, the identification was not very thorough. After a formal identification, Baek Sa-jun headed to the armed ship.

“It looks so fancy.”

It was a great experience seeing an armed ship.

A large ship with magic stones embedded in various places. Using these magic stones, we will create a defensive barrier and defeat monsters that attack the ship.

‘There are more people than I thought.’

Baek Sa-jun looked around.

There were quite a few mercenaries going to Jeju Island. At least a few hundred. Considering that there were other ships besides this one, there would be over a thousand.

“What? There are so many people going to Jeju Island? The broker said there wouldn’t be many people going.”

“Jeju Island is also dangerous?”

“They said there was chaos because of the mines. There’s chaos again in the northern part of Jeju Island because of monsters.”

It was a conversation between mercenaries nearby. As they said, Jeju Island was quite a dangerous place.

Why do so many people go to places like that?

Of course it was because of the money.

“You spread the magic stones like that?”

“Well, Jeju Island is a place where rocks rot.”

“I need to get my act together this time and take some rest. Or maybe I should change some equipment.”

Jeju Island has many unique characteristics.

One is that it is an island, so it is not greatly affected by external influences. Another is that it is a place where a strangely large number of magic stone mines appear.

‘That’s also the reason why wars between warlords occur frequently.’

As the warlords try to take over each other’s magic stone mines, they end up fighting each other endlessly.

Anyway, since they were making a lot of money there, they gave more compensation to the mercenaries than before.

The mercenaries who were in a hurry are going to Jeju Island.

‘I don’t know if that’s a wise choice.’

Jeju Island is a place where the end will soon occur.

A significant number of the mercenaries who went to Jeju Island to make a killing will end up paying with their lives.

“Get on board! We’ll be leaving in one hour!”

The sound of the ship’s horn echoed through the harbor.

Baek Sa-jun looked at the armed ship.

“I hope the journey is peaceful… … .”

Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter.

Because he knew that it couldn’t be true. He boarded the ship with the other mercenaries.

And an hour later, the ship set sail.

* * *

How long has it been since the armed ships set sail?

It must have been about three hours. It was peaceful when the ship had just set sail.

There were no attacking monsters, and the ship didn’t rock much. It was a peaceful boat trip.

However, that peace did not last long.

“It’s fantastic.”

Baek Sa-jun muttered while staring blankly at the sea.

It was inevitable that such words would come out when seeing an underwater monster bursting out of the sea’s surface.

“West! It’s Merman!”

“Watch out for the harpoon! It’s a poisoned harpoon!”

“Ah, shit!”

Merman, a fish-like monster that suddenly pops out of the water and throws poisoned harpoons.

and.

“Iron Shark! It’s coming!”

“Harpies are attacking from the air!”

“Shield up! Do something about those things!”

From armored sharks that attack armed ships to harpies that attack from the sky.

All kinds of monsters attacked the ship.

This was because the armed ship that left Wando Port entered an area inhabited by monsters.

“Can’t we just go through it!”

“No! Can’t you see that the monsters are blocking the way?! If you just go through, the ship will be destroyed!”

“Kill the monsters so the ship can move!”

The sailors fended off the enemies with the fortifications of their armed ships, and mercenaries also joined in.

“Fuck!”

“Is this the ocean or a dungeon! Oh, I should have filtered it out when you said you’d give me a lot of magic stones!”

“You knew the road was dangerous! If you don’t want to drown, take care of those guys first!”

If the ship is destroyed, everyone becomes fish food.

I had heard before I got on the ship that something like this would happen, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.

The mercenaries fought the monsters in a hurry.

“Wizard! Freezing magic! Anyone!”

“Fuck, don’t just watch, do something!”

The sailors sought out the wizards.

The other wizards hurriedly cast their spells, and Baek Sa-jun also sighed and grabbed his staff.

‘I guess I should start moving slowly.’

It’s a bit awkward to stand out too much, but you can’t just drown yourself in the sea either.

Baek Sa-jun used his skill.

– Use fairy tale skills.

– Target: Magnus. Morale increases by +40. Skills, ‘Storm Bringer’ and ‘Blizzard’ are loaned.

As the level of the Fairy Tale skill increases, you can also rent gifts, but it is no longer necessary.

All we need is Magnus’ skills.

Baek Sa-jun committed fraud.

– Ss …

A thick cloud of fraud that spreads in all directions.

The air soon turned into a bitter cold, and a fierce blizzard covered the sea.

-Whaaaaah!

– Kkieeeek!

Mermen soaring out of the water, harpies attacking from the sky, and iron sharks trying to tear apart the boat.

The blowing snowstorm slowed their movements, and the monsters whose bodies were wet began to freeze.

“Joe, good! It’s frozen!”

“Blizzard? You know how to use this kind of magic?”

“That’s not important right now!”

The mercenaries quickly defeated the monsters.

However, Baek Sa-jun’s magic was not over yet. The evil spirit flowing out of him was tingling.

After a while.

– Kurur… Kwaaaaang!

Lightning poured down from the sky.

. A storm-like thunderbolt swept away monsters in the air and sea.

The screams of monsters echoed everywhere.

“Whoa, shit. What is that?”

“Magic of that scale, one after another… … .”

The sailors and mercenaries who were watching were astonished.

Baek Sa-jun’s fraud ability is far higher than that of a necromancer of the same level due to the effects of all kinds of elixirs.

Since he used magic while in a fairy tale-like state, the power was bound to be amazing.

“Hey, don’t just sit there and do nothing. Kill them all!”

“Take care of the guys blocking the front of the ship first!”

But now is not the time to be surprised.

The sailors and mercenaries quickly dealt with the frozen monsters, clearing the way for the ship to proceed.

“The road is open!”

“Accelerate! Use all the magic stones you have!”

The armed ship emitted a blue light.

It was the light emitted by the magic stones installed on the ship. And after a while, the light enveloped the entire ship.

– Kwaaaaang!

“Hold on tight!”

The ship was shot at incredible speed.

It felt as if the car was using a booster, as it quickly moved along the open road.

The acceleration magic granted to the ship has been activated.

“Okay, good! The monsters are moving away!”

“Is it safe now that we’ve come this far?”

The ship moved away from the monsters’ territory.

When the mercenary who was watching asked the sailor that question, the sailor frowned as if asking what he was talking about.

“It’s not like we’re going to be safe. This is going to happen a few more times, so everyone, be prepared!”

The mercenaries’ faces darkened when they heard those words.

Someone’s sigh echoed across the sea.

* * *

“I can see the harbor!”

“We’ve arrived! Ha, we survived this time too.”

“We’ll be there soon! Get ready to disembark!”

Although the journey was not smooth, the armed ship arrived safely at Jeju Port.

“Fuck… … .”

“If only it weren’t for the magic stone… … .”

“Ugh, I feel motion sickness… … .”

The mercenaries all got off the ship with faces that were as tired as they could be. They knew that the sea was dangerous because of the monsters, but they never thought it would be this bad.

Moreover, the armed ships accelerated so frequently that even the hunters felt seasick.

“Mercenaries, there is a place provided by the Jeju Island Liberation Association, so you can go there and rest! If you have enough money, you can rest somewhere else.”

“Okay, okay! Dismiss! We can’t leave here anyway because of the barrier, so don’t think of anything unnecessary! Go and rest!”

There was a place to stay near Jeju Port.

The accommodation was a run-down motel, but these days, that’s good enough.

The mercenaries headed towards their quarters with tired steps.

“Those who want to go downtown can go, but let’s meet up tomorrow at the appointed time without fail! Since you’re here to work, you wouldn’t not come, right?”

I heard the sailors shouting.

A fairly clean city was visible near Jeju Port. And the existence of a wall surrounding the city.

A sign was seen at the entrance to the port.

[Welcome to the ‘Liberated City’.]

It was a surprisingly rustic name.

The owner of this city is the Jeju Island Liberation Union. The name they gave it was Liberation City.

Baek Sa-jun stretched deeply.

“I would like to rest right away.”

The boat trip was quite rough.

But that couldn’t be the case. There was a broker in this city that Han Sang-gyu had introduced.

Baek Sa-jun looked at his cell phone.

[This is Seungcheol Yoon. I am waiting near Jeju Port. Please contact me separately when you arrive.]

What we need now is information, especially information about the ‘Ten Heroes’ who are hiding in Jeju Island.

‘I don’t know if this broker knows.’

I guess it can’t hurt to just meet up.

Baek Sa-jun left the port and disappeared into the city lights.
