02. Visitors from the Future (16)

“Black Heaven allies, prepare for battle!”

At Ha Seok-cheol’s request, members of the Heukcheonmaeng guild surround the gate in a semicircle.

Most of the guild members of the Black Chunmaeng, who were influenced by the guild leader’s propensity to worship martial arts, to be exact, are melee hunters.

Of course, spears and knives, as well as a meteor pendulum and even a hunter who pulls out a dagger.

“Unfold the black natural revolution!”

“Honorable name!!”

A member who forms a passing team centered on Ha Seok-cheol, the leader of the Dark Heaven… No, guild members.

In fact, since Heukcheonmaeng is not really a traditional Moorim breakwater, Heukcheonyeonhwanjin is not much different from Hakikjin, which surrounds the enemy to surround the enemy, with only a grand name.

Of course, like a guild with a clear concept, I could feel the impeccable coolness of their passing team.

“What… Why are you here?”

However, for a 17-year-old high school girl who did not know martial arts, it was a somewhat difficult sensibility to understand.

As the Black Chunmaeng prepares for battle, the monsters that inhabit the tower come out with a terrible roar from inside the gate.

“Um… !?”

Ha Seok-cheol wriggled his thick eyebrows because the monsters that came through the gate were different from what he expected.

The Tower of Eldoras is a tower with the background of a kingdom that was destroyed by a plague.

In the lower floors, soldiers of the kingdom with crude weapons appear, and as you go up to the upper floors, knights dressed in proper equipment appear.

That’s why I thought that, as always, knights from the upper floors of the tower and elite soldiers would appear inside the B-level gate.

“This, this!”

“They’re the first ones I see!?”

The shadows wearing black hoods look suspicious even at first glance.

The figure was more like an assassin aiming for the life of a target under cover of darkness than a soldier.

They are assassins who seek the king’s life in the hidden fields of the Eldoras Tower and in the abandoned sewers.

Until now, its existence was unknown, but it finally appeared in Shinseoul through a gate that accidentally opened in the sewer field.

Of course, there was no way he could have known that fact with the current Black Chun Blindness.

“Don’t panic! No matter what comes out, there is only one thing to do!”

Ha Seok-cheol holds up a huge sword with both hands, transforming her heart’s magic into an aura and infusing it with her full power.

A rippling blue aura shimmered through the blade.

Tung! Hah Seok-chul, who jumped forward like an arrow shot, cut down the monster at the forefront with one stroke.

“Kill them all!!”

“Honorable name!”

With Ha Seok-cheol’s ferocious spirit, the Black Chun members also raise their weapons and run at the monster.

The shadows who pressed down on the hood also took out a black-painted dagger and clashed with the Black Heaven members, and a full-fledged battle began.

The most notable among them is Ha Seok-cheol, the leader of the Dark Heaven.

Booung-! Visor! Awesome!

“Ha ha ha! These guys, attack at once!”

As expected, every time Ha Seok-cheol wields his sword, no matter who the opponent is, his throat is cut off without being able to withstand a few points.

“Wow….”

Seeing that they fought better than expected, Yoon Seo-hee suddenly thought that it could be solved without us stepping up.

So, instead of preparing to jump out at any time, he stared at Ha Seok-chul, who stood at the center of the camp, with serious eyes.

Although there are many gossip about this, Ha Seok-cheol is a semi-S-class hunter.

It was because it was rare to have a chance to see the battle of a top-ranking Hunter from such a close distance.

Ha Seok-cheol’s momentum was as strong as the S class. Both his stats and skills will far exceed his own.

Yoon Seo-hee measured the difference in power between him and herself. Can you win if you fight?

‘It’s ambiguous….’

Fast and powerful, but not overpowering. There will be no answer in a head-to-head battle, but if you compete with speed… ?

Considering her recent growth, she was confident that she would not lose even if she could not win.

Around the time Yoon Seo-hee was measuring the difference between the S-class she gave her and her own power.

A few members of the Black Chun Alliance screamed as they continued the battle.

“Lord! These guys, the sword won’t work!”

“What!?”

As he said, the sword of the Black Heaven Alliance bounced off the opponent’s dagger and pierced his open chest, but the sword did not work at all and passed through the opponent’s body in vain.

Each of the monsters wasn’t that strong, but the weapons didn’t work, so the members of the Black Heaven were on the defensive one by one.

“Mmm! Doesn’t it work if it’s not an aura?!”

Come to think of it, I’ve heard of it.

I heard that there are spirit-type monsters in towers overseas other than in Korea, so attacks won’t work properly unless it’s an aura or magic.

‘Could these guys be the spiritual body type?’

Ha Seok-cheol quickly grasped the situation and gave orders, befitting a top-level S-class hunter and the guild leader of an A-class guild.

“Don’t overdo it and focus on your defense! I’ll take care of them!”

Ha Seok-chul emits a large aura and cuts the shadow he was dealing with at once.

Then, he passed the monsters he was dealing with and began to slaughter them one by one as he roamed the battlefield.

“Ahh!”

It was a bit defensive, but the Black Chunmaeng was blocking the B-level gate well with less than 10 people.

It was an achievement that could only be achieved because of Ha Seok-cheol, an S-class hunter.

At that moment, another group of shadows slowly came out of the gate that hadn’t been closed yet.

「Quaaa!」

「Kiaaa!」

As the number of enemies increased, the complexion of the members of the Black Heaven alliance, who were struggling to parry the attack, turned white.

Ha Seok-chul’s expression hardens quickly.

‘This… It might be a bit dangerous.’

Two girls were watching the scene not too far away.

Yoon Seo-hee whispered softly to Baek Ji-soo, clutching the hilt of her golden ribbon.

“Shouldn’t we go out soon too?”

Jisoo Baek stared at the battlefield with a confused expression without expressing either affirmation or negativity.

The moment Yoon Seo-hee was about to press her again in an urgent situation, Baek Ji-soo shook her head slowly.

“Something is strange.”

“What?”

It was definitely a dangerous situation.

Insufficient number of hunters.

An unknown monster whose identity is unknown.

However, in other words, that is all.

Although it was dangerous, the semi-S-class hunter was fighting well proving his level, and even if the number of enemies increased, it was not to the extent that he could not attack the gate, even if there were victims among the members of the Dark Heaven.

That’s why the head of the special affairs department, Kang Seok, must be watching with his arms crossed even though he has a disapproving expression on his face.

However, in the future Baek Ji-soo knows, too many people have lost their lives in this gate disaster.

Obviously there are more variables.

That’s probably….

「Huuu!!!」

A ferocious cry rang through the air.

All the members of the Dark Heaven who heard that cry turned around the gate in fear. It was an instinctive action that he could not help but know that he was in an intense battle.

Is that the same for the shadows? They also stop attacking for a moment and look inside the gate.

No, it wasn’t a frightened look.

Awe.

It was a proper courtesy to worship their lord who would soon appear here.

A very short but terrifyingly long silence continued for the members of the alliance, and a shadow emerged from the gate at a slow pace.

Mute footsteps.

Unlike the other shadows, an assassin wearing a dark red hood and a cape, holding dual daggers.

Ha Seok-cheol opened his mouth in amazement at the mighty magic he felt from his opponent.

“Boss monster… !”

The appearance of a floor boss that appears very rarely in the gate.

As there is only one entity in a large field, there is little chance of it coming through a randomly opened gate, but in preparation for such an unexpected situation, a rule was made to have more than 30 elite hunters on standby.

At the worst timing, the worst existence appeared.

The boss that appears at the B-level gate has a strength that even an A-rank hunter cannot deal with alone.

An opponent who should be avoided in one-on-one combat unless you are a real S-class hunter.

“Hey man!!”

Ha Seok-cheol, who decided that he could never fight with only the Black Chun members, raised his weapon and rushed like an arrow toward the boss monster.

“Die!”

Right after coming out of the gate, he had to take over the momentum. Otherwise, a difficult fight will ensue.

Booung-! A blue aura swayed and drew a fierce trail towards the boss monster.

However, Ha Seok-cheol’s powerful blow had no effect on the opponent.

Suddenly – It was because the boss monster suddenly fell to the ground while standing in place.

“Hmm!?”

Ha Seok-cheol looks around in search of a boss monster that has suddenly disappeared.

Unfortunately or fortunately, the missing boss was quickly found.

The boss monster was appearing from behind Kang Seok’s shadow riding on him.

“What… !”

“Hey!”

There was no time for anyone to do anything. When Chief Kang Seok realized the existence of the boss monster behind him, everything was already too late.

Pu-wook! Kang-seok looks down at the dagger that pierced his own chest with devastated eyes.

“Keep it… !”

The boss monster jumps high and flies over the heads of Yoon Seo-hee and Baek Ji-soo and runs somewhere, paying no attention to the people who fall down while spilling blood.

「Heuuu!!」

Ha Seok-cheol’s complexion turned blue as he watched the boss monster leave the scene without paying attention to himself.

“Damn it!”

Don’t let the boss monster escape.

It was terrifying to imagine what kind of catastrophe would happen if that guy ran rampant in the city, so he was just about to chase after him.

“Lord Lord!”

“Ugh! These guys!!”

Besieged by more and more shadows, the members of the Black Heaven struggle to wield their weapons.

As their weapons were not working at all, members of the Alliance continue to defend themselves in a precarious situation.

If they pursued the boss like this, the future where they would be annihilated without Ha Seok-cheol and who couldn’t even use auras was obvious.

Citizens’ lives or members’ lives?

At that dilemma, Ha Seok-cheol was greatly conflicted.

“Oh my gosh!”

In the end, I put off chasing the boss and rushed to save the members.

As they watched the situation, the eyes of the two girls crossed.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Baek Ji-soo grabbed Yoon Seo-hee’s shoulder and moved toward the direction where the boss monster disappeared.

Flash! A bright halo of light flashed for a moment and then disappeared, but no one observed it.
