Chapter 172 Dark SpiritThe distortion of space was a phenomenon created by the dungeon, and she only used it. It was her black magic that created the darkness and created the specter.
The weapon didn’t seem to have much effect other than the characteristic of ‘mark of black magic’.
Is it because it was the death side?
The spirit of death was greedy, so I just gave it to him as food. This is because it was a weapon that was not usually used much.
However, the characteristic of ‘mark of black magic’ seems to be quite remarkable.
Uh······!
Until now, steel monsters have become stronger as they continue to evolve by absorbing items and magic crystals. But the spirit of death remained the same.
The spirit of death evolves.
I got that feeling.
As the inside of the Death Side vibrates, the shape changes little by little. Just as the witch used it, a hole in the middle of the spear where a magic stone could be inserted into, and there was a single, translucent, pure white eye like that of the witch.
It seems that the spirit of death already wanted the witch’s death side for this.
The Death Side now seemed to have completely become one with the Spirit of Death. He had only one eye, but he was big enough to show him himself.
Burr…!
The underground stone chamber vibrated and collapsed. Since the dungeon’s attack is over, the dungeon disappears.
Korea was the most systematic and exemplary country in attacking dungeons.
However, the reason for this was that the population density was high compared to the land area. In other words, there were more Awakened than the dungeon that appeared, and there were more soldiers.
In addition, the level of artefact production is high, and the public’s interest is high.
The downside is that once the dungeon break occurs, it’s very dangerous, and the Hunter’s development speed was a bit slow.
In a country with a large territory and a low population density, hunters must constantly attack the dungeon. There are even dungeons that have no choice but to give up the attack.
On the other hand, the Korean Hunter had quite a bit of leeway. However, that leeway is currently holding her back.
‘Haha, I don’t know why I’m sitting here and having such a hard time.’
Hae-Jun Park was at the PMC, and after the presidential election, he was appointed director of the Dungeon Management Bureau.
“If you look at the average stats of hunters registered with the World Hunter Association, Korea is at the bottom. Countries with a low population density have the highest average ability. The reason for this, you know without telling me, is that the gap between the dungeon and the dungeon may widen over time.”
His analysis data was not meant to be compared with hunters from other countries.
“Is there any solution?”
“Why don’t you consider sending troops overseas? It would be good if the Dungeon Management Bureau itself set up a branch overseas. After all, the Hunter Association has also turned into a global organization, so it doesn’t seem like an unreasonable strategy. It will definitely help in securing the resource called Magical Stone.”
Overseas branch of the Dungeon Management Bureau… Park Hae-jun thought it was a pretty good method.
Of course, we will have to negotiate to some extent with the countries that can dispatch troops.
There are many countries where dungeon management is not done properly due to the lack of current hunters, so there is no way they will refuse.
“Dr. Choi, how about the development of the power suit?”
Artifact development in Korea was the best in the world. He developed a gun using mana core for the first time, and devised a way to apply skills to artifacts.
Of course, at the center of it was Dr. Choi Choi and the Rune Network.
The development of the power suit is very important to the Dungeon Management Bureau.
This is because it can be a really useful weapon for soldiers who invest in dungeon raids.
“It’s not easy. The Hunter uses hast and strength directly on his body as the effect of his magical powers. However, power suits are not easy for normal humans to adapt. The reaction back to the body is so severe that we have to deal with that.”
Power suits apply haste and strength, allowing ordinary humans to move faster and generate more power.
However, this was completely different from the hunter using the skill himself.
“Soon the problem will be fixed and the prototype will come out. While increasing the magic defense, we need to work to synchronize the body a bit.”
It sounds simple, but it was a really difficult task. This is possible because Choi Choi is very good at understanding the structure of runes.
She really understands the structure of runes like a magician, so that if she has a magic crystal, she uses that magic to use her skills.
“Well then, let’s discuss the really important issue now. Is it possible to clear a level 5 dungeon?”
No one could easily answer the words of Director Park Hae-jun.
Impossible, this means that a crisis equivalent to war is coming. You can’t just say it’s possible, though.
At the time when the 5th grade dungeon began to appear, the Korean Awakened had a low overall grade. Most were still bronze (grades 1 to 3), and silver (grades 4 to 5) was almost nonexistent.
How many silver-licensed hunters can dangerously enter a level 5 dungeon?
If they failed, the situation in Korea would be difficult, so even the Dungeon Administration could not encourage them to dive.
“Currently, rank 5 dungeons appear in the United States, France, China, Korea, and the Sahara Desert. As a result of looking at it with satellite mana radar, a level 5 dungeon in the Sahara desert disappeared a few days ago.”
“Then France and Korea are the problem now.”
The United States and China do not have to worry about anything. There are many dungeons that fail to clear because the land is so wide, and there are dungeons that are not intentionally attacked.
In that case, it is handled by missile bombing, etc. immediately after the dungeon break.
China is like a dictatorship, and rather, the attack of the dungeon is done systematically according to the command. Thanks to this, the Awakenings of China are quite strong and, of course, there are a lot of numbers.
In Korea, it is enough to worry that they might invade.
Well, this was something that the Ministry of National Defense or the National Intelligence Service should be interested in, but after working for the National Intelligence Service for a long time, I naturally became interested in this situation.
The moment Korea shakes, Japan and China will show their teeth. Because they were stupid bastards who could use the Awoken in war.
“First of all, let’s post a notice about level 5 dungeon raids.”
Because there may be applicants.
“Today’s meeting is over, Dr. Choi, let’s talk for a while.”
After the meeting, only Park Hae-Joon and Choi Choi-Hee remained.
The two just went to the corner in the lobby and pulled out coffee from the vending machine.
“You are in a lot of trouble.”
“I know? If I had just been in the PMC, I would have been able to manage and get a lot of salaries, and it would have been easier to work.”
It wasn’t a job to enter the dungeon directly, it was just a job to manage mercenaries. It’s not dangerous and the rank is quite high, so the salary is high.
Why did he give up and take office as director?
Of all ministerial-level public officials, there is probably no other position with a headache like the director of the dungeon management.
“Where is Taeseong these days?”
I haven’t been in touch with Yoon Tae-sung for quite some time, since he left Korea. But she knew she was in touch with Choi So-hee, so she asked.
“Perhaps on the side of the Sahara?”
“You don’t want to come to Korea?”
“I didn’t really ask.”
Of course, Tae-Sung Yoon comes to Korea. When a level 7 dungeon appears.
So I didn’t have to ask. After all, he was a man with a clear purpose.
“Wouldn’t it be a little different if you came to Korea now?”
Park Gyu-tae, who was the president of the association, has passed away, but Choi Kyu-yeon, chairman of the Daon Group, is still looking for Yoon Tae-sung.
There are many people who still think of Yoon Tae-sung as a dangerous person in politics, including Gwon Kwon-dong, who was at the Dungeon Management Bureau for a while.
In particular, Choi Gyu-yeon is a person who is sharpening her teeth to Yoon Tae-sung. He was also the writer with the largest PMC in Korea. He is known to invest most of the money he earns from the group’s business in PMC.
“Aren’t we going to stay still in Daon? Still, you won’t get into an accident. Please contact me once. Level 5 dungeons… There really is no way.”
What can Choi Gyu-yeon do when Yoon Tae-sung comes in? Even when the size of PMC was increased, regulations were very tight in Korea.
However, these two were wrong.
Yoon Tae-sung doesn’t even think about Choi Gyu-yeon.
“The face holder is also a problem, and the bastard who uses black magic is also a problem. Ha ha, when are you going to catch these?”
The face holder is quite old, and the black magician is a recent one, and it is impossible to tell if it is a monster or an awakened one.
“It is not easy to catch intelligent monsters. Maybe when you reach level 6, there will be more intelligent monsters like this.”
The intelligent body gradually adapts to human society. Korea is a small country, so these intelligent monsters were the biggest problem.
Of course, for Choi So-hee, who knows the future of mankind, this was just a small matter.
“Before that, Korea did that.”
It was because I tried to do a 7th grade dungeon with numbers and failed.
Steadily attacking the dungeon becomes more and more poisonous over time.
“If we set up a branch overseas, I think Tunisia would be good. The Middle East and South America are too dangerous.”
There are too many and too many armed forces that the government can’t do anything about.
Drug cartels in South America and terrorist groups in the Middle East.
In other regions, it would not be easy to build a branch and dispatch troops, and Africa was the most suitable.
There are many reasons why many powers come to Africa.
“There is an organization in Tunisia called the Free African Mercenary League. If you work with them, things will work out.”
– Let’s make a suggestion to the director. How was the level 5 dungeon?
Choi Choi Hee has never fought monsters in the dungeon, so she can’t feel it. That’s why I’m asking Yoon Tae-sung.
“I do not know? If you’re a level 4 hunter, it’s definitely not easy to attack. Korea’s development is very slow. Higher rank numbers are more important than average ability.”
It’s much better to have 99 rank 2 hunters and 1 rank 4 hunter than 100 rank 3 hunters.
As the level of the dungeon increases, it means that very few particularly strong hunters are needed.
– This is an unavoidable problem due to the characteristics of Korea. The director seemed to want Taeseong to come to Korea…
‘If it’s a level 5 dungeon… is it pretty dangerous?’
The reason he left Korea is that, until the 7th grade dungeon appears, there is nothing particularly dangerous for Yuina and her party.
It should have been like that originally, but for some reason the dungeon’s development speed was too fast.
Of course, the strategy to attack the dungeon at that speed and the development speed of the hunter are also fast.
“Won’t Kyu-Yeon Choi go with blood in her eyes?”
When I was in the United States, I occasionally saw news on the Internet.
At that age, he became the group’s chairman and said he would invest heavily to expand the PMC business.
– The president is a pretty tough guy, so he can’t be arrogant. Well… some politicians seem to hate you, but what can you do? There won’t be anything they can do. I’m just good at talking to the press.
The president was elected according to the flow of history, and I thought this was fortunate.
-If it wasn’t for that, Yuina would have been in a lot of trouble. Because Choi Gyu-yeon must have been arguing with her in every case.
Of course, it would have been an argument, but I couldn’t have done it my way. There was a strong man named Sihwan Kim, and he told me to focus only on dungeon attack.
Lazy Agency is currently the best team in Korea. No matter how much Kyu-Yeon Choi expanded the PMC, it was an organization that could not be easily touched.
“I know. Sooner or later, I will go to Korea.”
The reason Yoon Tae-sung returned to Korea was because of Yuna. She currently has a very high chance of being included in a Tier 5 dungeon raid.
