ALL NOVEL 23
Chapter 23 Military Trial“Did you cause serious problems during the fight in the dungeon?”
“Are you talking about intentionally attacking an ally while fighting a monster?”
“Even if that happens, it cannot be dealt with by individual judgment. We live within the bounds of the law, and it was something that had to be dealt with in court.”
“I do not know? I don’t know what it’s going to mean for me to go to trial after I die.”
This is a very important issue and deserves discussion.
“However, in a country ruled by the rule of law, you have no right to kill a person at your own discretion!”
“Are you saying it’s okay to intentionally kill everyone from now on? If everyone died and only me came out alive, no one would know, right? Dungeons are very dangerous areas of engagement. Such an act of intentionally attacking an ally is more dangerous than a monster. Captain Moo-Sung Kim, would you like to leave a member of the unit who attacks the back of the head while fighting a terrorist group, saying, ‘After the battle, we will have to deal with the trial!’? Of course, you can capture it, but you can’t keep such a luggage in the dungeon and take it with you. It’s difficult to know exactly what special abilities the Awoken have. You captured the traitor, and you can think of it as having a time bomb on your body.”
It is a problem that cannot be judged in principle or in principle, as Captain Kim Moo-seong thought.
Tae-Sung Yoon actually experienced this kind of danger a lot, and he did it because he knew it was best to just kill such a person.
There are cases where leaving one such guy alive puts the whole team in danger. That’s why trustworthy people gathered to form a team.
“The problem is known, so it’s no good for us. It can’t be controversial when we’re just reorganizing the organization.”
“But it has to be done with certainty. We cannot continue to create controversy.”
Manager Park Hae-Joon tried to find a compromise, but Captain Kim Moo-Sung was also a person who could never compromise.
However, since Park Hae-jun is the head of the dungeon management department, he couldn’t do what he wanted.
Currently, the Dungeon Management Department is a subordinate organization of the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of National Defense needs assistance. In other words, the point was that Park Hae-jun could not ignore the remarks of Captain Kim Moo-seong.
“Well, take care of it according to the law. Because I have no intention of disregarding the law. Then, after discussing it, please let us know the result.”
The loot will come from the other team anyway, so Captain Moo-Sung Kim had no intention of exchanging such a problem for loot.
This is the difference between obedience and disobedience.
Loyalty to the country is not desired.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Hunter to disregard the state’s decision, ignore the law, and commit illegal acts based on personal judgment.
“Director, this is a very serious matter that determines the direction of the dungeon management department. You can’t just look at it blindly while negotiating.”
“Captain Kim, as you can see from the video, the situation inside the dungeon cannot be judged by our common sense alone. In matters directly related to survival, it is a legal decision… I don’t know.”
The NIS also carries out illegal activities if necessary. So Park Hae-Joon was a pretty flexible person.
He was in charge of the dungeon management department, but in fact, he couldn’t say that he had completely taken over the real power.
‘I hope this doesn’t cause a backlash with the Hunters.’
I’m not sure what Captain Kim Moo-sung’s thoughts were, but Park Hae-joon thought that the help of a Hunter, or Awakened, was essential.
However, there must be a limit to forcing them to move.
There is nothing good about reacting with the Hunters from the initial response.
If that is the case, why would they create a system called the Hunter License while overhauling the law?
“Brother, what are you saying?”
First of all, Yuina got up and asked.
“I think we will have to wait for an agreement.”
At Yoon Tae-sung’s answer, a man named Lee Hwang-jo put on a sneering expression. Of course, Park Dae-jin didn’t look worried.
“Is there any way to kill someone and make an agreement?”
Lee Hwang-jo is an emotional person. He was also a person who thinks according to his emotions.
I didn’t like Yoon Tae-sung because of the skill book, but when this happened, I laughed.
“The government will take all the magic stones, skillbooks, and items, are you okay? Weren’t you the first to greedy for the skill book?”
Since he couldn’t acquire the skillbook anyway, it was clear that he had a nasty sign that he didn’t want anyone else to have it.
‘Did I act too emotionally?’
Five years from now, it would have been a no-brainer behavior.
However, since it was still in the early stages of response, it was actually a behavior that would be a problem.
Perhaps even if that happened again, Tae-Sung Yoon would have decapitated him.
In 10 years of living in a dungeon, I had so many experiences like that, so I despised them so badly.
There are 2 magic stones.
One was making a mana potion in a bottle of water.
The important things that Tae-Sung Yoon currently had were three skill books and one item.
Except, of course, the Ring of Black Luck that you use yourself.
Blink(3)
Chain Lightning(3)
Bless (4)
‘I’ll have to work on this as well.’
I don’t know how much the bounty will come out, but at least an amount that could give me a month of rest seemed to come in.
‘First of all, the world must understand that the dungeon is a huge crisis.’
If one dungeon explodes, the sense of crisis disappears quickly. Perhaps the Ministry of National Defense thinks that the strength of the military alone is sufficient to overcome this crisis.
Or they may dream of a military dictatorship like in the past.
Even if not to that extent, the Ministry of National Defense could take over politics as in the past Hanahoe.
‘That’s a really stupid idea.’
Although selfish, Yoon Tae-sung decided to focus more on his work.
Drinking mana potions every day, train the Heavenly Demon God Gong and develop your own abilities.
Study the runes in the skill book, and help Choi So-hee so that artifacts can be created quickly. At the same time, he must learn the structure of the runes, or how skills and artifacts work through runes.
I never had any intention of clinging to my skills.
Rather than the skills, I thought that the training of various martial arts with the experience they had learned on their own was more important.
This is because there is no level limit like a skill.
‘Maybe if you fully understand the skill runes and understand the structure in which power is generated, the limit of the grade may disappear.’
I wake up at 5 in the morning and practice martial arts. And then all the power is removed.
When all of your magic power is exhausted, drink a mana potion and train the Celestial Demon God Gong.
As mana was restored, I found that the rate of development was a little faster.
The battery gets weaker and weaker as it drains and charges, but the core gets stronger and stronger.
After that, I transcribed the skillbook while translating it into a notebook.
After dinner, practice again.
Get information about dungeons through the Internet and watch the news. The news makes it possible to guess what kind of stance the government is taking.
I met Choi So-hee again.
“It was a good read.”
“I don’t need it.”
“In the meantime, I also researched and recorded the structure and operation of the runes I studied, so it will probably be helpful. I made a separate research notebook.”
She held out the five notebooks that Tae-Sung Yoon had given her.
“I translated three more skill books. It’s a 3rd and 4th grade, so it’s quite a lot. The principle and structure also seem more complicated.”
As the grade increased, the amount of runes increased, and the structure became more and more complex.
“Chain Lightning, Blink, and Bless are the skills.”
Because she had also experienced dungeons for 15 years, she knew roughly the name of the skill.
However, this is the first time I’ve heard of the skill ‘Bless’.
“Bless?”
“It is said to be a blessing to use with divine power.”
“Divinity is the first attribute you hear, isn’t it?”
“This is the first property I’ve ever heard of.”
Others knew the attribute of Yoon Tae-seong as ‘healing’. That’s how I introduced myself.
divinity.
Perhaps it is an attribute created by the awakening of a previous life or the Heavenly Demon Goddess.
If it is divine, it is the power of an attribute that a priest who worships the gods will have. But is there really such a person on Earth?
Fictional gods or worshipers, such as Buddhas, are not actually gods.
“First of all, I will research this too, record it and return it to you. And… I have something to ask you.”
She pulled something out of her bag.
It was a skill book.
“Could you please translate this too?”
Tae-Sung Yoon looked at what she had pulled out.
Outside the dungeon, the function of the dungeon does not work. In other words, there was no translation of the skill book, but Yoon Tae-seong was able to read the runes.
“Did you hear what this skill is?”
“Isn’t it special? The Fury of Holy (Divine Wrath) is 6th grade, Great Hill is 7th grade, and the sword of punishment is 8th grade! Two are divine and one is healing.”
The fact that Choi Choi does not know the divine attribute means that the skill book of the divine attribute has not been released before.
But suddenly, so many divine attribute skills came out, and their grades were incredibly high.
I could understand a skill book of level 3, but I could never understand that a skill book of level 8 came out.
“Why did this suddenly happen? I can understand the 2nd or 3rd level skill in the 1st level dungeon, but the 8th level skill is so different from the common sense I know.”
‘Is it because of an anomaly?’
The dungeon doesn’t end when one disappears. Judging from the experience of Tae-Sung Yoon, if all the dungeons are connected. If there is an AI in the dungeon, it manages all the dungeons.
If it wasn’t an anomaly created by Tae-Sung Yoon, would something like this ever happen?
But what does this have to do with the anomaly? To be honest, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with it.
“We think of dungeons as dimensional rifts and conduct research. People wake up, dungeons explode or disappear, monsters appear, and they understand it as action and reaction. Through that process, the cracks get stronger and stronger. That’s why the dungeon’s rank is getting higher and higher.”
“Does this mean that a strong action had an effect, resulting in this reaction?”
Reaction is an unusually high-grade skillbook and item. Choi So-hee thought that this was the result of some kind of action.
“I think it may have something to do with our return to the past.”
“Maybe it could be.”
The two will never understand how they returned to the past.
But it was the dungeon that made this ring.
Anyway, someone must have made this ring. This ring somehow affected the dungeon.
“When the action gets stronger-”
“The dungeon’s rank will go up faster.”
“Well, that’s just my expectation. This is called ‘Asuka’s Greatsword’. It’s a weapon with transformation enchantments, so it’s worth researching.”
Items with transformation magic are considered very high grade. In terms of artifacts, it is unique or legendary.
“The mana core technology has advanced to a unique level, but the transformation technology has never been properly researched.”
“You mean your mana core has gone up to level 8? It’s been really, really great.”
When Tae-Sung Yoon was active, the highest grade was a 6-grade mana core.
“By the way, do you have 4 skill books that you brought in after you attacked the dungeon?”
“What… do you know? Hunter has a strong desire for skill books above all else. If we learn the skill book in the dungeon, there is nothing we can do about it. We’ve hit 8 so far, and I consider 2 to be a failure.”
Hunters who have completed the second round of tactical training will continue to be put into the dungeon along with the task force.
However, if it was a dungeon that had already failed to capture, it was a bit difficult to put in a new team.
Why did it fail?
Because I have absolutely no idea why.
“And… the issue about you doesn’t seem to be well negotiated with the Ministry of National Defense. It seems that the Ministry of National Defense is greedy, but you just got caught.”
“Doesn’t the Ministry of National Defense’s taming of hunters seem to change?”
“I may change my mind soon, but the problem is you. The Ministry of National Defense has caught the number of cases, so I don’t think we will ever back down.”
It’s a political issue.
It is difficult for Yoon Tae-seong to oppose the Ministry of National Defense, and the only way to dodge it is to avoid it if the opponent attacks.
“I will translate this and return it to you.”
“I wish you had the item. After all, the structure of runes is the core of our research.”
