Chapter 138

5 years ago.

The whole of Australia, as it is now, was literally reminiscent of a mayhem.

Against hundreds and thousands of monsters… .

Hunters from all over the world gathered in one place.

Of course, at the center was Gu Hwang-seok, the ‘Master of Magic’.

No matter how many hunters from different countries gathered in one place.

It was definitely Gu Hwang-seok who showed overwhelming performances with his magical powers.

Using his natural talent, he did not back down no matter what kind of monsters attacked.

he who did

In subjugating the poisonous monsters, the situation in the northeast area 5 years ago was still vividly recalled.

“If I hadn’t gone there then. Would it have changed?”

The day when I thought that the title of ‘Master of Magic’ might not last forever.

At that time, Gu Hwang-seok never thought that he would be hung up on magic like he is now.

‘Devrod.’

As he met him, Gu Hwang-seok gradually changed into a different appearance from before.

‘Debroad’, the one who literally devastated Australia and annihilated the hunters.

As much as ‘Devrod’, who is called the son of the demon king today, is known as the beginning of the birth of demons.

It was often one of the strongest monsters among the mid-bosses of monsters.

Against such a ‘Dev Road’… .

The Hunters had a long bloody battle, displaying all their abilities at close to 200% of their skills.

At the center of it all, Gu Hwang-seok could not be left out.

He also showed more than 200% of the aspect of a master of magic in order to stop ‘Devrod’, who is called the son of the demon king.

During a long bloody battle, at the end of twists and turns, when he defeated ‘Devrod’.

The guy wouldn’t let that mess go.

“I’ll make sure you don’t forget me for the rest of your life… .”

Debroad’s last words.

Those words, which I didn’t know what they meant at first, came to be felt as time passed.

Right before Devrod’s death.

Part of the guy’s soul was sucked into Gu Hwang-seok’s body.

This is where the biggest problem arose.

The soul was absorbed into the center of magical power, which was the core of the Guhwangseok.

Because of this, the speed of his magic recovery to this day has been clearly different from before.

At first, he wanted to deny everything.

In order to find the speed of his old mana regeneration recovery, he secretly looked for a way and jumped with his own feet… .

Nothing changed.

When Gu Hwang-seok came back to Australia, he suddenly had that thought.

‘If I find that place again, wouldn’t I be able to find a clue?’

Near the northeast where Devrod was killed at the time.

I wondered if I could find a little bit of clues if I went back to that place.

‘There must be some answer.’

Now Gu Hwang-seok’s heart was firm.

Even if someone tries to deny it, as long as he has already made up his mind.

It didn’t seem like it would change easily.

Im also tried to return Gu Hwang-seok’s feelings, but… .

It was close to impossible to get back his heart, which had been firmly entrenched.

“If that’s Master Jung’s will, then.”

“then.”

“I no longer.”

“Are you leaving?”

“yes? It can’t be! I was about to declare that I would no longer deny Master’s will!”

“I’m not forcing you, do what you want. I am comfortable with that too.”

“How are you looking at me and saying such mean things?! I will follow Master’s will and go with you!”

“Won’t you regret it?”

No matter how loyal Im is, it will be difficult for him to accept Gu Hwang-seok’s choice this time.

This is the situation in Canberra, where the situation is so urgent.

Gu Hwang-seok thought that it must have been a coercive order to ask Chief Lim to accompany him.

However, Lim’s thoughts were not at all like that.

“I have dedicated my entire life to bringing Master. I think that this choice must have been made because of the Master’s will. I will also fulfill Master’s wishes!”

“Yeah, do it yourself.”

“yes!”

***

3 days later.

It’s been a week since I’ve been practicing.

In order to search the northeast area in earnest, including trainees… .

Richard Park cared about his surroundings.

‘There won’t be any trouble. nothing.’

It is practically impossible to search the northeast area with only trainees.

However, a person appeared who had no choice but to relieve this anxiety.

“Nice to meet you. This is the master of the Ark Guild, ‘Gu Hwang-seok’. Let’s do it well.”

“Thank you for actively cooperating with our search. My name is Richard Park. Take good care of me.”

It is a rare drawing and combination in the original work.

Xenix trainees and professors. And the master of the Ark Guild.

It is a moment that no one can deny that it is not a combination that can be easily seen.

“It’s a place I’ve been to once, so I’ll take the lead. Everyone, please follow me.”

Gu Hwang-seok took on the role of the advance team.

Not only had he already been to this place once, but he was usually bright-eyed, and he also had a clear brain.

“Then, please follow me slowly.”

Sseuk-

He immediately disappeared from sight.

“Let’s follow right away. If we leave now, the sun will probably be down when we get to the northeast!”

“yes!”

Along with the trainees, Minjun also followed.

It was a pity that I couldn’t use the ‘Soft Dice’, which had fallen so quickly that its durability fell.

Half a day was enough distance, so I was about to increase my speed as much as possible.

However, the road to the northeast was not always smooth.

aaagh-!

It was because monsters appeared frequently.

Now, it has reached the point where even the monsters in the dungeon crawl out to the ground.

“It’s really getting worse.”

“Everyone ready for battle!”

“yes!”

With Richard Park as the lead conductor, the trainees were faithful to their respective roles.

Min-jun also tried to fire support from the rear as much as possible.

‘snapshot!’

Along with minimal delivery, zeroing was also done as simply as possible.

On the other hand, it was difficult to handle the monsters that climbed up the dungeon before that.

When the delivery was shortened by using magic power, the situation was even reversed.

Kiki-Ik-!

“Forward!”

When I was going to kill the monsters like that, I stepped forward again.

“I guess things are really getting worse.”

Richard Park’s expression was not very good.

Having broken through the entrance of the dungeon and reached the point where monsters are coming up… .

It is safe to say that the entire surrounding area is filled with demonic energy.

The monsters that usually live in dungeons invade the ground… .

It’s never a positive thing.

So that they can expand their activity radius.

It is convenient to see that the environment has been created.

“What, this is just a field!”

Even for Richard Park, who had been dealing with monsters for a long time, this time was quite an unusual situation.

Even so, I didn’t think it was difficult.

In addition to the impressive appearance of Minjun, who cannot be seen as a trainee, there was even a reliable Ark guild master… .

It felt like the pressure was lessened.

On the other hand, the more I moved forward, the more monsters appeared.

But, yes or no.

Gu Hwang-seok, who claimed to be the advance party, was showing his performance as if he were opening the way.

“Laughing things!”

Indeed, it was appropriate to say that Gu Hwang-seok was going crazy.

If demons block their way… .

He ruthlessly raised his staff and used magic.

How long has it been since you started heading northeast?

In my experience, it felt like I was already at the halfway point.

Gu Hwang-seok crushed all beings that stood in his way.

With his magical energy that never diminished, he showed more impressive magic than any other hunter.

“Wow, that’s what a master is like.”

“You’re hunting monsters with the Ark Guild Master.”

“This practice will really be remembered forever, right?”

The trainees were fascinated by Yeonshin and Gu Hwang-seok’s impressive magic skills.

Of course, we did our jobs in our respective positions, but… .

It was unavoidable that Gu Hwang-seok had a large proportion.

“Looks like it’s going to take longer than I thought. The weather doesn’t seem to help much either.”

In the meantime.

It was taking longer than expected.

The battle suit he was wearing was filled with the blood of countless monsters.

Eventually, he approached Richard Park.

“Looks like it will rain.”

“Maybe it would be good to end here today, right?”

“yes.”

***

Soon the sun was going down.

The thought that half a day would be sufficient to reach the northeast was distorted.

Hundreds of monsters appeared more than expected, and the trainees’ stamina didn’t look very good.

“It would be better to stay here today, and leave as soon as dawn tomorrow.”

Gu Hwang-seok was the first to get lucky.

No matter how much he is called a ‘master of magical power’, he will definitely need a certain amount of time to rest.

Everyone moved to an empty building nearby.

rumbling- rumbling-

As we entered the empty building, heavy rain began to pour as if we had waited.

‘Hmm, that’s not unusual.’

-It’s not an ordinary Magi.

Meanwhile, Minjun could not rest in peace.

It was because at the same time as the heavy rain was pouring down, the airflow of the Magi suddenly changed.

‘It must be difficult to sleep comfortably today.’

– It could be a special night.

He was also hinting. A different serious look than usual.

The fact that even Gram showed such a reaction made me anticipate that a formidable opponent would appear.

Moreover, it was because he was approaching the place where the demon king’s son, ‘Devrod’, met his death.

The ominous atmosphere was bound to escalate further.

In the meantime.

Gu Hwang-seok gently puts his hand on Min-jun’s shoulder.

he has spoken

“As expected, I was right.”

“… What are you talking about?”

“The ability to read demonic energy. I wondered… . This is a bit unexpected. Since when?”

At some point, Gu Hwang-seok noticed one of Min-jun’s abilities.

The ability to read demonic energy.

It is one of the rarest abilities among hunters, and it was difficult for Gu Hwang-seok to accept this at first when he found out about it.

But, how did you notice that?

At the moment, I wonder why Gu Hwang-seok is thinking that way.

Suddenly the ground started to shake.
