The Time-Limited Leader Makes the Raid a Success - Chapter 94



Only Noblemtl

Episode 95

95. I thought it was going to be a healing movie, but suddenly they’re going to film an action scene?

The Slayer Guild’s strike team was created with conflict with other guilds in mind.

It wasn’t a team with a separate organizational chart. Hunters who were strong in one-on-one combat and had a strong sense of mission among the members of each party were informed of the mission in advance and called in only when necessary.

In fact, this method weakened the team’s organizational ability. It was less efficient than continuous training and repeated operations with only one goal.

However, because the purpose of the strike team itself was impure, it was a headache when other guilds protested or when the political world brought up the issue. Inevitably, they ended up turning a blind eye and pretending not to know, and ended up with a team that didn’t exist on the outside.

Among the batting team, the hunter who was known to be strong in one-on-one battles was none other than Gam Woo-young.

He confidently entered the main gate of the unfinished factory and used his messaging skill.

“Team Leader Sung, I couldn’t even call a few people because I was worried about what other people would think. Will it be okay for me to do it alone?”

“The process of getting the address was not clear. It was too easy. It could have been a trap. The rest is waiting around to spread the risk.”

“Wow! Then what about me? Can I be put in the trap?”

“It is necessary to destroy the trap head-on, even if only to warn the enemy. Rather than planning a clumsy operation, we chose a force that can push them back with certainty.”

A smile crossed Gam Woo-young’s lips.

‘It’s a definite power… Hehe! As expected, the team leader trusts me.’

As he nodded happily, Seongseonje’s message made his impression wrinkled.

“If it was Joo Sea Hunter, he would have just pushed in without any calculations.”

“Oh my, you mean chicken instead of pheasant?”

Seong Seon-je said to the grumbling Gam Woo-young.

“It may take more time, but Hunter Gam Woo-young will be bigger than the pheasant. Regardless of Hunter Joo Se-ah, you are the next ace of our guild.”

“Tch! You really put it in there.”

Gam Woo-young hummed as he entered the factory before the battle.

The ceiling had holes here and there, and moonlight illuminated the factory through them.

The steel frame was exposed as it was, and the structure had an open feel like an empty lot with almost no walls.

It was designed to have five floors above the head, but this too was only a frame and the floor was clearly visible.

“Wow, this is so blatant.”

My skin was tingling. My neck was tingling. My spine was cold and my feet were empty. It was like riding a Viking at an amusement park.

Gam Woo-young felt good because of the murderous feeling that enveloped his whole body.

“How did you know I like this kind of thing and prepare for it?”

Gam Woo-young rubbed his tongue against the roof of his mouth. He slowly rolled his tongue as if he was savoring delicious food. The moment he swallowed the saliva that filled his mouth.

Shushu shoot!

In the darkness, dozens of silvery rays poured down toward Gam Woo-young.

Gam Woo-young flew to the right. A dark energy was embedded in the spot where he had been.

‘Shuriken!’

The pinwheel-shaped spear used by Japanese ninjas caught my eye. It dug deep into the concrete, but its unique shape was immediately recognizable.

The dark spirit followed the place where Gam Woo-young had avoided. He ran sideways, step by step, and kept avoiding the dark spirit.

When the dark auras flew from all directions to the point where it was difficult to avoid them any longer, I pulled out the right sword first and struck it away… … .

Boom!

“Tsk! These guys are throwing out things that explode now?”

Gam Woo-young even pulled out his left sword.

Red blade and blue blade.

Blue and red twin star swords.

It was a custom-made weapon made by sharpening the fangs of a red-and-blue double-headed snake that he had caught himself.

‘Two 45 meters ahead, three 30 meters to the left, two 40 meters to the right, diagonally above the left… … .’

Gam Woo-young was dodging and trying to figure out the direction the dark energy was flying from. Now that he had confirmed the general location and number of enemies, it was time to counterattack.

Gam Woo-young aimed from the left side. In a multiplayer battle with Hunter, it was common sense to deal with a large number of enemies by knocking down one side and then moving clockwise or counterclockwise. It was a natural choice for him, who was used to such tactics.

“You all are so annoying… Huh?”

What fell on Gam Woo-young’s head as he charged forward was a metal net. Judging from the fact that it didn’t get cut off in an instant when he quickly reacted and struck it, it seemed to be made of a special material.

The net’s effectiveness wasn’t limited to its toughness.

“Gaaa …

The net that captured Gam Woo-young was not a simple net. It was a special net made from a high-grade item called a ‘brain stone’ that had brain properties.

Of the enemies who confirmed that he had been captured, two emerged from the darkness and slowly approached.

The moment he came close and was about to stab me with a sharp sword that resembled a rapier.

The sword, shining brighter than the moonlight that faintly seeped into the factory, tore through the net. The sword light even cut through the enemies that had approached Gam Woo-young.

Thud! Thud!

“You’ve been fooled, kids?! To think I’d be caught like this… … .”

Gam Woo-young was shocked when he saw the enemy fall without even screaming.

“What the heck, you guys? Could this be…?”

Gam Woo-young’s thoughts did not continue any longer.

A flash of light beneath his feet enveloped him.

Kwaaang!

* * *

The entire abandoned factory seemed like a giant speaker, filling the industrial complex site where construction had been halted with explosive noise.

“Team Leader, how long do we have to wait? I can hear an explosion. If this continues, something goes wrong at the party leader… … .”

“Trust me, our next ace is a man who only looks easygoing.”

The hunter leading the strike team remained silent at Seongseonje’s answer. He had no choice but to agree with Seongseonje’s words.

‘It’s certain that the only one in the guild who fought that witch for hundreds of years was Hunter Gam Woo-young.’

Some in the guild avoided dueling with Ju Se Ah because of their pride, some were scared, and others were worried that it would turn into a bloodbath.

But Gam Woo-young was different. He was not afraid of defeat. He did not avoid pain, nor was he ashamed of humiliation. Even if he lost hundreds of times, he tried again, and even if he was on the verge of death, he tried again.

As the number of defeats increased, he became stronger. Before he knew it, he had lost his promising status and was cast in the expedition team. Since then, he has been on a winning streak in various raids.

Now, I have reached a point where no one will say anything even if I don’t have to do difficult training.

But even though he had achieved great fame and wealth, he still challenged Joo Se Ah and lost.

The more I did that, the stronger it became.

After Joo Se-ah left the group, at some point Gam Woo-young became the center of the expedition team.

No one in the guild suspected Gam Woo-young.

The hunter who had just talked to Seongseonje was amazed and suddenly realized something.

“This must also be Team Leader Sung’s training method. I heard that he also fought in this way during the Joo Sea Hunter era. They say a lion pushes its cubs off a cliff… As expected from Team Leader Sung.”

“That’s just because Joo Sea Hunter is tough.”

「… … .」

The moment when the hunter was at a loss for words.

Suddenly the noise disappeared.

And then Gam Woo-young walked out through the entrance he had entered through.

The dark blue armor coat was torn here and there by the staggering steps, and the corpses of the enemies being dragged in both hands were proof that it had been a melee.

Gam Woo-yeong threw the body in front of Seong Seon-je.

Seongseonje looked down at it indifferently.

“They’re dolls. Japanese kids sometimes use them. Except for a few people who control them, the rest are all like this. Now they’re even blatantly self-destructing. The last dolls were immediately destroyed to secure evidence.”

“It was a very efficient trap. If it had a self-destruct function, it would have been quite expensive. If it had just been powered on, there might have been some casualties.”

As Seongseonje was looking closely at the doll, his smartphone rang. He checked the time and answered the phone.

“You really timed it like a knife.”

-Did you have a good hunt?

“I just lost my appetite. It was a waste of time, just like Manager Kang said.”

-So, I guess you’ve decided what to do next.

“I think Director Kang and I have the same thoughts.”

Seong Seon-je was annoyed by Kang Mu-hyeok from Slayer’s perspective, but personally, he was impressed.

‘From the moment I got the wrong information, this game started going according to Kang Moo-hyuk’s intentions. Using it is another matter. I never thought there would be someone who would set up a game like this against Slayer.’

It was refreshing rather than unpleasant to see someone doing business with me head-on after such a long time.

-I’ll give you the address. Guild leader Jusea will be waiting for you.

“Before tonight is over. Let’s strike while the enemy is relieved that we have been fooled.”

-We will set the attack time at dawn.

“3 o’clock. Any later and civilians will get involved.”

-Yes. I will prepare it.

Seong Seon-je remembered the address that Kang Mu-hyeok had given him and ordered the hunters to withdraw.

Gam Woo-young, who was listening to the conversation from the side, asked with a puzzled look.

“I think you know where these kids are hiding. Aren’t we going there?”

“If we move right here, we’ll be detected by the enemy. We should withdraw and move another strike team.”

“Who is it?”

“This is Ha Hye-seong’s party.”

Gam Woo-young’s face turned into a look of disgust.

“I heard it’s a joint operation with Sister Sea. Can I send Brother Hyesung?”

“Hunter Ha Hye-seong is the leader of the expedition party and the current ace. He is a person who knows how to distinguish between public and private affairs.”

Seong Seon-je made a phone call while getting into the car with Gam Woo-young. Even though the work here was over, the work of the strategy team leader was just beginning. When a problem occurred, follow-up was important.

-This is Woo Byeong-gi.

“Embassy staff. Was it Mr. Tanaka?”

-yes.

“Secure it until I enter headquarters.”

-All right.

* * *

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Joe.”

-Was it just a matter of chasing after Seongseonje?

“Because if you hit Igajo first, it’ll be a problem.”

-Oh my, they say there’s no one you can trust in this world, but you still can’t trust him after he just told you. Chief Kang has become very corrupt.

“I will deposit the commission fee into your account. Then, please work a little harder until the operation is finished.”

As soon as the call ended, another phone next to me rang.

Kang Moo-hyuk checked the time floating on the office monitor.

[Seoul 21:21]

[Vladivostok 22:21]

He picked up the phone.

-Hello, hello. Chief Kang?

“Team Leader Pyo? I heard the raid starts tomorrow. Is there something going on?”

-Kwaaaaang!

Kang Moo-hyuk took his ear off the receiver because of the sudden explosion.

Soon, he sensed that something was wrong and quickly called Pyo Beom-hee.

“Team Leader Pyo?! Team Leader Pyo Beom-hee!”

-Wow, I’m so scared.

“What’s going on?”

-I don’t know! I was suddenly attacked!

A loud Russian voice could be heard from all directions.

“A raid?!”

Kang Mu-hyeok asked back, but there was no answer, only loud shouts and screams.

After a while, Leopard Hee’s voice was heard again.

-I’ll escape first and then make a phone call! Ask the rest of the Federation guys…

With those last words, the call with Pyo Beom-hee ended.

Kang Moo-hyuk stared blankly down at the receiver.

“What the hell is going on?”

* * *

Time goes back to when Leopard Hui arrived at Knevichi Khutor International Airport in Vladivostok… … .

[Vladivostok 19:37]

“Chief Kang? Uh. I just met the Federation guide. No, the raid will be held tomorrow, so let’s head to the hotel first. I think the Char Guild has something to prepare. Well, I’ll have a glass of vodka and take a breather before I get to work. Hey, don’t drink too much. Just moisten your throat a little. Haha. Okay. I’ll contact you before I start work. Yeah, don’t worry. Take care of that side too. Sleep well, honey.”

As soon as the call with Kang Mu-hyeok ended, Pyo Beom-hee raised both her hands.

“Manshay! You are free!”

“Freedom? How many hours does that last?”

Yeom Soo-hyung, who had just found a carrier bag on the conveyor belt, shook his head in disappointment.

“Oh my, this guy is really. Tsk! He’s talking nonsense. Do you know how hard it was for me, who was running wild in the glamorous entertainment world, to be trapped in Bukpocheon? Those few hours were precious to me.”

“Didn’t you say you were busy taking care of idols?”

“That’s what I’m saying. You really don’t understand what I’m saying.”

Yeom Soo-hyung wondered where he had misunderstood.

In the meantime, a man who said he was a guide for the Federation spoke with a smile.

“There’s a good bar at the hotel you’re staying at. The western part of the city is said to have been paralyzed by the Wufu Mangbao, but the places that sell alcohol are still open.”

Pyo Beom-hee looked back and forth between the man and the tie pin he had stuck in his left breast pocket.

‘This is really a wonderful thing. It doesn’t need an interpreter, right?’

It was an item containing interpretation skills loaned by the Federation for this mission.

Kang Moo-hyuk coveted this item so much that he even asked him to bring it to him instead of returning it when he finished work.

“Pyobeomhee said, drooling over the item’s performance.

“Guide, are the Russians here insensitive, or do they trust the guilds here? The Upumangbau is a very dangerous monster. If they’re not careful, the whole city could be blown up, and instead of evacuating, they’re selling alcohol.”

“Are these people a bit tough? Hahaha. Of course, the trust in the Tsar Guild also plays a part. No matter what anyone says, this is the guild that has protected Vladivostok, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from the border of the Demon Realm. It’s hard to subdue, but it’s enough to keep the Upumangbau from coming out of the western corner. Plus, the winters here are quite cold. It’s hard to find a place for 700,000 people to take refuge.”

Leopomhee understood right away. The same was true of Pocheon, where they were.

Just as there are people who cannot leave their special zones even though they have them nearby, those who have made Vladivostok their base for life will also not be able to easily leave the city.

The group of Pyo Beom-hee unpacked their luggage at a luxury hotel in the heart of the city.

“I’m in the next room. Here, Hunter Leopard-hee stays, and next to him, Hunter Yeom-su-hyung stays. There’s a raid scheduled for tomorrow at 2 PM, so get some rest today. I’ll see you in the morning. Oh? The bar is on the 17th floor of the hotel.”

Leopard Hee threw down her carrier and headed straight for the elevator.

As expected from a luxury hotel lounge, it had a cozy and old-fashioned atmosphere.

“I was hoping for a noisier place.”

She was originally a shareholder, so she sat down and raised her glass without caring about the interior design, since she preferred alcohol to the atmosphere anyway.

“Wow! As expected! This is the taste, this is the taste. Russian alcohol isn’t bad either.”

Her eyes, which had been drinking for a long time, suddenly became fierce.

‘What is this dirty poison?’

The moment he received the new bottle of alcohol and took a sip, Pyo Beom-hee could feel it.

It was a sour taste that tickled my tongue. It was so faint that I could have just passed it by, but it couldn’t fool her, who had the special ability to handle poison.

Leopard Hee immediately noticed the poison’s ingredients.

‘Paralysis, sleep. Is that a red poison toad? It’s not cheap. It’s just a mess of a combination. How many minutes will it take to activate? It doesn’t work on me though.’

Leopard Hee deliberately staggered to get up.

“Ugh, I’m drunk. I guess I should go to bed.”

As she got on the elevator, two men stood on either side of her.

‘Hunter.’

It was funny because it was such an obvious repertoire, but I thought that the person who poisoned me wouldn’t care about that part.

‘I thought this trip to Russia was going to be a healing trip, but suddenly we’re going to film an action scene?’
