Episode 140

140. Because I can’t let you set foot on Korean soil.

“Team Leader Sung, this sky doesn’t look good. Something’s going to explode. It’s so loud. It looks like a big fight is going on.”

The next ace of the Slayer Guild, Gam Woo-young, said as he stuck his head out of the helicopter.

“Close the door. It’s noisy.”

“yes.”

Although he said he wasn’t interested, Seongseonje was also focusing his attention on the skies over Sinuiju.

‘Who is that? If that’s the enemy, then it’s a problem.’

A destructive force beyond what can be felt.

Perhaps it was because of its characteristics, but the power to single-handedly control the skies over a city was by no means negligible.

‘Even if she’s from Iron Will, she’s still a pain in the ass. Joo Se Ah is annoying enough. It’d be better if she was a former North Korean hunter. At least I can persuade her.’

Seongseonje heard the increasingly intense noise of the battlefield, which could be heard from afar, and urged the pilot on.

“Let’s hurry up and go. It’s already very late.”

Since we mobilized the best of the Slayer Guild, we had to get the most out of it.

‘It’s not time for Kang Moo-hyuk to die yet. He’s not on our side, but he’s a much better business partner than Joo Se-ah.’

* * *

Only an afterglow remained where the old town had passed.

A long halo of light like a meteor was followed by a thunderclap. Then, a shock wave followed, shaking the streets of Sinuiju. Windows broke and car alarms began to sound out of nowhere.

The anti-aircraft guns couldn’t keep up with the town. The magicians who were casting spells couldn’t even react, and the hunters in the archer position, who had increased their agility while sharpening their eyesight, couldn’t respond either.

Goeulji, who was flying in the sky, felt something rising from his throat.

‘Gulp. Ugh, let’s go. I feel so dizzy. I can’t go on for too long.’

Goeulji forcibly changed direction and rushed toward the air defense positions that were targeting him.

The anti-aircraft gun belatedly confirmed the direction of attack and turned its barrel, but it seemed that it would not hit in time. The hunters waiting nearby poured out their skills with all their might to form a net of fire, but they all missed.

‘You’ve been shooting so hard, haven’t you? Eat this!’

Goeulji wrapped a protective shield around his body and passed by the building where the camp was located.

Chachachang! Clang! Clang!

The glass windows burst out like an explosion,

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The anti-aircraft gun fixed to the rooftop floor was ripped off and exploded.

“Whoa!”

“Hold on tight… huh!”

The hunters also flew through the air. The hunter who tried to intercept the goulji by any means got half of his body torn to pieces.

As Goeulji repeated this descent several times, all the anti-aircraft batteries fell silent.

The magic also diminished, and arrows stopped flying at all.

“Hoooo~”

As Goeulji sighed, the light that had been covering her entire body disappeared. She took out a stamina recovery potion from the ampoule kit on her waist and drank it. She mixed a mana recovery potion with a tranquilizer and took it.

My pounding heart and my throbbing blood vessels calmed down.

“This is tiring.”

But there was no time to rest. He took off straight away and flew to the prison village.

The view of the village from the sky was truly horrific. Everything had been burned and collapsed to the point where it could no longer be called a place to live.

She expanded her senses to find Kang Mu-hyeok. Fortunately, she was able to find him quickly. In the place where the hunters were gathered. Among them, there was a non-hunter.

It was Kang Mu-hyuk.

It was just before a battle broke out there.

“Why are people who aren’t hunters always on the battlefield?”

Goeulji landed on the playground, feeling the same sense of foreboding he had felt when he first went to Bukpocheon.

bang!

A crater was dug in the ground. She blew away all the hunters who were rushing at Kang Mu-hyeok.

“You’re not late, are you, Captain Kang?”

“It’s just right.”

The long-awaited reinforcements.

Kang Moo-hyuk also felt a sense of deja vu, as if he had seen the current situation somewhere before.

“The final stage. Begin, Goulji Hunter.”

“Yes!”

The hairpin of Goeulji began to shine again. A light flashed in its eyes.

Zhang Zhongxun, who saw this, realized that his opponent was about to do something unusual. The amount of mana he had gathered was enormous.

“What the heck is that? Stop it all! Stop what that bitch is trying to do!”

As soon as Zhang Zhongxun gave the order, hunters rushed in from all directions.

“Stop it!”

At the same time as the order from the Lienjeongmun, the Prison Village Hunters also began to counterattack.

Jang Joong-sun then no longer retreated and charged at Go Eul-ji. Cheon Deok-su stopped him.

“Where are you going? You have to stick with me, right?”

“This traitorous bastard!”

“Have you forgotten? You were the one who betrayed me first.”

Go Eul-ji said while watching Cheon Deok-su and Jang Joong-sun clashing.

“Chief Kang. But this is useless for an A-rank hunter. The range is limited to begin with. It’s only possible around here.”

“There is no need for the A-rank. What is important now is the ranks below it. And I also know the extent of their abilities. That is why I retreated to the prison.”

“Wow, even if I were to go all out, I wouldn’t be left behind. Captain Kang would risk his life? Was he surrounded just to do that? Well, at least I trained with Gilma all this time. I was really lucky.”

“Yes. That’s why I played Minesweeper.”

“Huh? Wasn’t it Gilma who ordered you to find mines?”

“Training to only pick out mines underground. It was a way to supplement the wide-range magic and non-lethal suppression power that our guild lacked. We wanted to control the battlefield by clearly distinguishing between enemies and allies. That training paid off sooner than expected. That’s fortunate.”

“Thank goodness? I shit blood doing that!”

“You’re no ordinary hunter, you’re a Goulji Hunter. Show me.”

Goeulji opened and closed his mouth, speechless.

“It’s just like Grandpa said. You really have a wicked mouth. I hate you so much I want to punch you.”

“I am the Goeulji Hunter.”

“Or make him retire!”

“Should I cancel my LA concert tickets?”

“You can just clean them up, right? Feel free to use them as much as you want, Captain Kang Moo-hyuk.”

“I can also find a hotel for you. Next to the concert hall.”

“Raincoat!”

The local government, which was encouraged by the unexpected guild welfare, increased its output.

At that moment.

“Huh?”

“Hey, what is this?”

“Mom, my body… . Ugh!”

Suddenly, the bodies of the hunters belonging to the Goryeo Alliance began to rise into the sky.

But the height wasn’t that high. It was just that my body was restrained. My limbs moved normally, but I couldn’t move from that spot. Of course, being stuck in one spot during a fight was a terrifying experience in itself.

“Everyone… get out!”

As Goeulji stretched out his hands left and right, hunters flew to the east, west, south, and north.

The only ones left in the playground were the Prison Village Hunters and the high-ranking Hunters known as the Shinuiju Five.

“What is this… … .”

Won Hao muttered as if he was speechless.

Hundreds of hunters, no matter how low their rank, all disappeared.

“Don’t be fooled! Check with your telepathy skills! You’re not dead, you’ve just been pushed out of the village boundary!”

At Jang Joong-sun’s shouting, the five leaders of Sinuiju, including Won Hao, quickly contacted their subordinates who had messaging skills.

Soon, I realized that it was just as Zhang Zhongxun had said, going back out of the village.

‘No, can you say this so simply? Sending out hundreds of people… and only enemy hunters at that? What kind of monstrous spatial perception is this?’

Won Hao felt goosebumps at the sight of that little girl panting for breath. Maybe that was what it meant to be an S-rank talent?

“Gasp, gasp… Chief Kang. I can’t do this twice even if I die.”

“Enough. I’ve earned my time.”

“Buying time? That’s ridiculous.”

Jang Joong-sun shouted as he pushed Cheon Deok-su away and retreated.

“Bring your men back! We’ll come back and wipe you all out… Hah!”

Zhang Zhongxun, who had been threatening with aplomb, suddenly groaned. He put his hand on his back where he felt a sharp pain. A dagger was stuck in a very small gap that the basilisk leather armor could not protect against.

“Hey, this is expensive. I was aiming for the vital spot but missed.”

The person whose eyes were shining as if coveting behind my back was… a face I was seeing for the first time.

Tsk tsk!

“it’s me.”

“Hyunjeong Geoeon… …!”

“Huh? Hey, I’m Hyun Jeong-geon!”

“This little shit!”

“Captain Jang!”

Yuan Hao threw his sword, but Hyun Jeong-geon had already left his spot.

Kang Mu-hyuk welcomed him as he approached.

“Mr. Joe. You didn’t run away, did you?”

“I’m the type who always keeps my contracts. I was waiting for an opportunity.”

“If it had been a disadvantage, I think I would have run away?”

“Eulji-ya, you’re still a kid and don’t know much about this world. I’m a professional spy. Being a professional means getting your money’s worth. I’ll even take Captain Kang’s body to your Gilma… Oops!”

“Look. We were trying to sneak out after we died.”

In a situation where the situation was suddenly reversed, Won Hao gathered the remaining five leaders of Sinuiju. He escorted Zhang Zhongxun and said:

“It would be a good idea to retreat for a moment and then attack again. They are too tired to chase after them, except for a few high-ranking ones. We can easily stop them on our own.”

“I agree with that opinion. This is embarrassing. I will repay this grudge immediately.”

As Jang Joong-sun gritted his teeth and showed signs of slowly backing down, Kang Mu-hyeok pointed to the sky.

It was the south.

“If you come again, you’ll die.”

Zhang Zhongxun’s face, which followed the tips of his fingers, became distorted like an evil spirit.

The hunter’s eyesight allowed him to see twenty helicopters flying in the distance.

“Did you call for reinforcements? But Iron Will is only a C-class? Are you going to stop him with just that?”

“No, it’s a slayer.”

“What? Why, why did those guys… … ?”

“It has to be at least this much so that the guys in Dandong City won’t move rashly.”

“Our troops… did you know? How…? Lies!”

“You should check for yourself whether it’s a lie. Even if I didn’t know Dandong, I would have called you. I like to win for sure. If you deal with it clumsily, there are those who will crawl up. For example, those with snake heads?”

“Hey, this kid!”

“Chief Jang! This is not the time for this. Retreat quickly!”

Yuan Hao forcibly dragged him away. Zhang Zhongxun also knew that it was time to step back. However, if things continued this way, only a fall awaited him. The guild he actually belonged to was not a place to just let this kind of fiasco pass.

“Life comes first.”

At Yuan Hao’s words, Zhang Zhongxun ground his teeth and turned away.

[Just because you’re a Slayer doesn’t mean you’ll just back down. Tell them to open our door. And contact Dandong too.]

Won Hao was startled by the sudden sound.

[Do you really open the door? You won’t be able to use the Shinuiju. Besides, if you invite the Dandong raiders, it will be an all-out war with the Slayer Guild. No matter how ruined the Korean Hunter community is, they are an exception.]

[What’s the exception for a small country without even a single S-rank? I’ll show you clearly what happens when you mess with a big country.]

Jang Joong-sun slowly retreated.

When he retreated, Cheon Deok-su tried to chase after him, but Kang Mu-hyeok stopped him.

“The threat is not over yet. We must recover the wounded and form a defensive line.”

“Reinforcements have arrived. We can win.”

“An elite assault force is waiting in Dandong. We don’t know what other tactics they might be hiding. They are the ones we will have to fight in the street fighting in Sinuiju anyway. There is no need to rush in and risk our lives. Time will be on our side from now on.”

Cheon Deok-su followed Kang Mu-hyeok’s words obediently. At first, it seemed like a big deal, but if it weren’t for the leadership he showed today, all the villagers would have been buried here.

Soon after, the helicopter landed on the patrol base exercise yard.

Seongseonje’s face was revealed from the helicopter that landed first.

“I kept my promise, Captain Kang.”

“I will also keep my promise. Ask about the new god, and even the magic.”

* * *

“How stupid.”

Xiao Zhan, who was in charge of the attack force waiting in Dandong, was annoyed by Zhang Zhongxun’s message.

“If you’re going to perish, perish alone. Why bother with the work and dare to make me clean up after you?”

“What should we do, Xiao Zhan?”

Xiao Zhan shouted at his subordinate’s question.

“What should I do?! I can’t just go back. I should at least see the faces of those Slayers. I heard that Seongseonje is really tough. If I take his head, maybe the people up there will be a little less angry?”

“It’s better than nothing.”

“Then, I should take it. It’s a shame that Joo Se Ah left Slayer. If that woman were here, I would have caught her and offered her up.”

Xiao Zhan assembled an attack force.

A guy who was addicted to alcohol, a guy who was obsessed with women, a guy who spent all day in a gambling house.

They were human scum, but they were experts at fighting against hunters.

That’s why the guild hired them.

At the top of that trash was Xiao Zhan.

“Everyone gather. From now on, we will cross the ‘China-North Korea Friendship Bridge.’ Once we enter Sinuiju, we will beat up all the Koreans.”

Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge. It was a railway bridge called the Yalu River Bridge in Korea.

While other bridges collapsed during the Great and Little Wars, this bridge was reinforced and still stands strong.

The Dandong raiding party headed to Sinuiju with great pride. They were excited about the thought of massacring to their heart’s content in Sinuiju. In China, they couldn’t cause trouble because of the eyes of their superiors. If they caused trouble and ran away, they would be caught by the guild’s execution squad and beheaded. So they had to indulge their desires to the fullest during expeditions like this.

As Xiao Zhan was leading the way and crossing the bridge, he discovered something.

Inyoung sitting on the railroad tracks in the middle of the bridge.

At first glance, it looked like a woman.

“What’s that girl? Oh, she looks quite pretty.”

When one of his subordinates tried to step forward, Xiao Zhan reached out and stopped him.

“If you don’t want to get left behind, stay still.”

“Captain, what’s wrong? Just us. Are you trying to keep it all to yourself?”

“You idiot. Tsk! Everyone, wait here.”

Xiao Zhan left his men behind and walked towards the woman alone.

As I was about ten steps ahead, the woman stood up.

“From here on out, it’s Korean territory? Where are you going? Do you have a visa?”

“It is an honor to see the famous witch in person.”

“Do you know me? Who are you?”

“I’m an unknown soldier, so you probably don’t know my name. But I hope you remember me, so I’ll reveal it to you. My name is Xiao Zhan.”

“Oh? You were Xiao Zhan?”

“Do you know me?”

Xiao Zhan was glad that the other person knew him.

“I know. Trash of trash. Waste. Worse than uranium. You have many nicknames.”

“Haha… It feels strange to hear that from a foreigner.”

“Why is it like this is the first time you’re hearing it?”

“It’s so strange. I want to kill, kill, and kill again. I can only kill you once. It’s so sad, Joo Se-ah!”

“Sure, I should have stopped you here, just like Director Kang said. I can’t let a dangerous person like you set foot on Korean soil.”
