Chapter 104 Snake bodyBlackwork Gate.
The Pentagon and the CIA closed the case internally. However, the FBI is continuing to investigate the case.
The problem is that it’s too big. The FBI can’t afford it.
“It seems that the military as well as the politicians are putting a lot of pressure on it. Anyway, Black Walk and Black Network have also been dismantled and disappeared, so there is no need to proceed further.”
“It can be a bit difficult for them. But isn’t this case decided by the president?”
“The president’s term is coming to an end soon. I can’t just ignore this kind of pressure.”
Even the president was only part of a huge political circle. If you think that American politics is run by the president, you are mistaken.
In particular, if the president was at the end of his term until re-election, he was just like a paper tiger.
“A lot of people think this is a conspiracy theory. They think the CIA Director is a traitor.”
“Well, conservatism and hegemonism are not very popular in America these days, right? They would argue that they deliberately create such an event to maintain the regime and promote a black network that does not exist.”
Reason, logic, and facts do not work for conspiracy theorists. They were just people who believed in their imaginations.
But in the US, there are more people like that.
“It is characteristic of conspiracy theorists. No matter what the government says, they never believe it. Are you planning to participate in this dungeon?”
Dominic Leo was a member of the Support Bureau and was responsible for supporting Hunter from behind. He leaves it mostly down to the staff, although he himself seems to be just traveling around the US.
Still, he received reports, gave orders, and knew the extent of the situation.
“If you can, you should.”
Aside from Pentagon’s attitude, it’s a 3rd-grade dungeon. Tae-Sung Yoon also needed a higher-grade Magic Stone.
Because you need magic crystals to make steel monsters stronger, and to craft high-grade potions.
The Pentagon also had a few experiences, so they didn’t rush into 3rd-grade dungeons.
The energy wavelength of mana is twice as strong.
To say that monsters are twice as strong has a completely different meaning from having twice as many numbers.
However, the monsters are twice as strong, the dungeons are wider, and the number of monsters is greater.
Of course, normal monsters don’t suddenly become twice as strong. The boss monster had become that strong.
The number of people was quite large.
There were 25 people in the 2nd squad of the special forces, and 5 people from 2 teams of hunters belonging to the Ministry of National Defense also participated.
There were a total of 31 attacking personnel up to Tae-seong Yoon, so the Ministry of National Defense prepared quite a lot.
However, there were two people who had absolutely nothing to do with the attack.
The Pentagon seems to be planning to do some marketing about dungeon capture.
If that’s the case, I’d rather have hunters upload videos of their attack on you tube like in Korea, do you really need to do this?
“Everyone, focus! This is reporter Andrew Drew for ABC. I know this because I’m going to cover this strategy. This is the first level 3 dungeon to appear in the United States. I hope everyone is doing their best and staying true to their mission.”
The dungeon dive began with a brief briefing by the company commander who commands the two squads.
The equipment was sufficient.
It was basically armed with the Mk 12, and the newly released Barrett grenade sniper rifle also had an Electric Shock Pulse.
The two of them probably had grenade sniper rifles, thinking they would also have a few nuclear grenades in case there was any danger.
Tae-Sung Yoon picked up a Barrett anti-material sniper rifle. He attached a super knife to the bottom of the barrel.
The Super Knife was developed by Agatha, and the Mk 12, which the US military uses for dungeon raids, is produced by Legion.
Agatha attaches to Legion’s firearm, allowing the Super Knife to be used as a bayonet. He gave up his ego and found the real benefit.
Tae-Sung Yoon slightly modified this and made it into a bayonet that can be attached to the Barrett M82.
The floor was hard like a rock, and there were huge rocks here and there, and the terrain was not flat.
The fog was thick and it was difficult to see far away.
As if there was a thick fog at dawn, it is a very uncomfortable place to work.
‘Isn’t this a little nice?’
The advantage of a gun is its shooting range. A weapon that could attack a distant enemy like a gun was rare.
But is it difficult to secure visibility because of fog?
The gun’s advantage is lost.
Taesung Yoon immediately put Barrett into the subspace. Because there was absolutely no need in such an environment.
Buckler and the sparsely toothed Caladbolg were pulled out.
‘If even a goblin came out, it would be very difficult.’
Although goblins are small, they are fierce and very quick. If those guys moved in the fog… it was very menacing.
“Nice to meet you. Reporter Andrew. Is that a knife?”
He said he had been to conflict zones several times as a war correspondent, but that doesn’t mean he understands battles well.
“Did you bring your weapon during the interview?”
Even when Yoon Tae-sung was Yu-na’s manager, he always had a weapon with him. Of course, reporters also entered Korea, and the director who made documentary films also entered the dungeon.
Of course, basically, anyone who enters a dungeon takes a weapon.
Do you depend on others for your life in a dungeon?
It’s the most stupid idea. Monsters don’t even take reporters as prisoners.
“Captain, I found it. However, it is very difficult to move because of the fog. The fog gets thicker as you go to the center of the dungeon.”
After completing the drone reconnaissance, the soldier showed the company commander the underside he had saved.
As the rugged rocky ground continues, you reach a castle. It was a castle that seemed to be one with the earth, and it looked as if it was made by processing a low rocky mountain.
‘It’s an orc castle.’
The monster that will appear is an orc.
The boss monster was probably the Holy Week of the Orc.
“Everyone is equipped with bayonets.”
It seemed that the superknife was made at the right time. Without this, close combat would have been quite difficult.
They all pulled out a military bayonet and mounted it on the barrel.
-Chwiy…!
The gurgling breath heard in the thick fog was characteristic of the orcs.
The fog was thick and the Orcs could not be seen. However, the team members with the mana radar could see the fact that a monster was approaching around them.
There are five guys in total.
“Five orcs. move forward.”
The commander-in-chief ordered.
It waits and moves forward, but it crashes anyway. There was no place to hide, so I decided it would be more beneficial to fight while moving.
-Chwi!
An orc suddenly appeared from a short distance through the mist.
It wasn’t an orc that looked like a caveman with roughly hanging clothes and a club.
He was crude, but he carried a sword, and he wore iron plates, although he was coarse, and even wore plate armor.
ting?
The bullet bounces off the plate of the plate armor.
A two-meter-tall muscular orc ran ferociously. He swung his sword wildly towards the nearest soldier.
The knife is made coarse, but the blade is thick. That said, it is quite heavy.
One Hunter quickly ran forward. A translucent shield was made from his hands.
It was a skill called ‘shield’ of the earth attribute.
The shield is hard, and because it is an earth attribute, its strength also increases. Despite the orc’s mighty power, the man was not pushed back.
The man moved his left hand.
All of a sudden, a sharp thing jumped out of the ground and stabbed the orc.
It is a 3rd grade skill called Earth Spear.
‘I was confident, and there was a reason.’
There must be very few hunters who have reached level 3 in their current state, and even fewer of them have level 3 skills.
There was a reason I was the captain.
Of course, the disadvantage of that skill is that it needs to have land, and the advantage is that it is very strong because of the power of the earth.
“Aim and fire through the gaps in the armor! If you approach, attack the lower body!”
The commander immediately gave the order.
It was a shot that could be shot enough because it was made of rough sheet metal, but it wasn’t an easy shot.
It would have been better to attack the lower body instead.
As he loomed in the mist, he began to shoot, and the orc, as vicious as a monster in the mist, rushed in like a wild beast.
Some were aiming, some shooting in the lower body.
Someone shot the orc in the head. Without a helmet, shooting in the head was the most lethal.
“Shit! The monsters are getting closer and closer.”
Orcs were approaching from all directions.
Unlike the first time, Andrew was quite nervous.
He worked several times as a war correspondent. But he was different from fighting in conflict zones.
In the modern era of advanced weapons, it was not common to engage in direct combat.
As several orcs approached, they jumped out of the mist at the same time. He swung his sword right next to him.
Whoa whoa…!
And Drew got goosebumps at the sound of a heavy knife quickly pushing the space away.
Tae-seong Yoon, who was behind the formation, blocked the orc’s sword with a buckler. When he moved away with the paring, the orc’s sword smashed into the rock on the floor and sank into it.
The part that shows how strong the orc’s strength is.
Soup liquid…
Tae-seong Yoon’s Caladbolg cut the orc’s head to the stomach in half.
Dripping green blood flowed, then the orc turned to dust and disappeared.
Andrew grew more goosebumps than when he saw the Orc. It was because of Yoon Tae-sung’s expression.
Yoon Tae-seong had no expression at all while dealing with such a vicious orc.
‘Ttt!’
Because of the fog, it had no choice but to become a close combat after a close combat, and the hunter also intervened in the battle.
It seemed to run out of power before fighting the boss monster.
‘I still don’t understand how to fight properly.’
Not the Hunter’s way, but the Army’s way.
If a hunter already uses a skill like that, mana is consumed. What do you do when you fight boss monsters?
Tae-seong Yoon can also easily kill orcs using his skill. Nevertheless, using a sword and shield, it consumes minimal mana.
It wouldn’t even move if it wasn’t necessary.
After dealing with about thirty orcs, the first engagement was over.
Orcs are strong, warlike, and very muscular. He was a guy who didn’t die easily even when he was shot, and even though he splattered with blood, he ran ferociously and tried to fight somehow.
It is not difficult to deal with orcs from afar. You shoot like a target. There is no monster as easy to match as an orc.
But close combat with orcs?
Six-shot battle?
It was a very favorable environment for Orcs.
“Spray this on the wound. The monster’s magical powers act like poison, so the decay progresses quickly.”
The only advantage potions have over modern medical technology is that they detoxify even the magic of monsters from treatment.
I’d rather be cut by a sharp knife, cut by an orc’s coarse, coarse knife. It was barely scratched, but… Orcs are strong, and humans are weaker than orcs no matter how much they increase their strength.
“What is this?”
“This is a healing potion.”
There were several healers, but Yoon Tae-seong was the only potion producer. He’d never seen a potion.
“It will be more effective than disinfectant.”
It was much more effective than spraying disinfectant or wrapping it with a bandage.
Still, it’s a level 2 healing potion.
When the blue liquid was sprayed on, the wound bubbled up.
Quickly bandage the wound.
“Keep moving!”
You can’t rest because there are wounded soldiers.
Now the first fight.
You have to keep moving.
Even in this situation, Andrew conducts interviews and broadcasts while looking at the camera.
Of course it was recording.
“Healer?”
A guy who plays the role of a captain in Hunter approached me and asked.
“Well… it’s roughly the same.”
“Is this the weapon developed in Korea? It wasn’t even the Middle Ages, and I cursed at developing a weapon like this, but it’s more useful than I thought.”
“According to the situation, the effectiveness of the weapon also changes.”
The man seemed to think of Yoon Tae-sung as a healer. She only used a sword, and she didn’t have any special skills that Tae-Sung Yoon showed.
Potions that were effective for treatment were also made to look like that.
“He’s a healer, but he fights pretty well, right? Some idiots just heel him from behind.”
They don’t seem to think it’s very effective, but if you level up, you’ll probably need that heel a lot.
“Well? One day, you’ll need someone who will do you stupid heels from behind.”
This time too, after a few fights, he’ll ask you to heal him.
