When we arrived at the airport, we saw quite a few people waiting for Seonghyeon.
Reporters have moved along Seonghyun’s every move to the point that it hurts to speak now, and the president of the association was also seen.
“You are here.”
“long time no see. Shall we go to the door first and have a conversation?”
“Yes. All right.”
I didn’t even have time to even have a conversation here.
Of course, it would be difficult for those who had entered the door before that time to come to the United States, but it was not good to leave the mutated door unattended.
Sung-hyun, who got into the car with the president of the association, looked at the president of the association sitting next to him and asked.
“How is it?”
“You must have heard a brief talk from the president of the Korean association. First of all, the mutated second-class door is about an hour away from the airport. It’s relatively close.”
“I’m glad I did.”
“And the top hunters are already waiting around the door. When Hunter Kim arrives, he will probably start subjugating right away.”
“Isn’t there anything else that was identified?”
That was the most important question.
Seonghyeon was planning not to go out in this subjugation as much as possible.
Because I didn’t want to create another cause and excuse for those who kept Seonghyun in check.
For them, the existence of Seonghyeon crossed the border between the level of regret that they could not have and the level of fear they could not have.
If he showed his superior combat abilities here, perhaps this boundary line would be definitively broken.
“I can’t go inside, so I haven’t looked into the details, but there is one strange thing.”
“Is it strange?”
“Yes. A mutation of a Level 2 door that only happened once a long time ago. Do you know?”
“sure. If it’s a hunter, no, it’s an incident that even ordinary people cannot know about.”
“If you look at the records at that time, it is recorded that the level of magic felt from the mutated second-class door is that it emits a tremendous amount of magic compared to the existing second-class door. It was the same with this mutation in Korea.”
As the president of the association said, the mutation of the second-class door that occurred in Korea was exuding a large amount of magical power that even made Seong-hyeon’s skin tingle.
“However, the amount of magic felt in this mutated second-class door is at a level that makes you doubt whether this door is really a mutated second-class door. Even compared to the original second-class door, it is inferior.”
“You say it’s inferior to a second-class door?”
Unexpected information.
The amount of magical power felt at the door was a measure that allowed us to guess how strong the magical beast was inside the door.
If such a level of magic is at a level where you feel humble, of course the magic within it is that weak.
“There is no way that the measurement of magic power is wrong… Does the one orthodoxy that has been considered the correct answer to this day break down?”
“Anyway, because of that, meetings are held every day at the academy as well as on the association side. If this changes, what we have measured and graded so far may become obsolete in the future.”
If this happens, the damage to come in the future will be much greater.
“Does a mutated second-class door appear and a new one?”
“15 level 4 doors and 7 level 3 doors.”
“Isn’t that door different from the original one?”
“Fortunately, the new doors are no different. Besides, even if the level 3 door mutates, there is no need to worry because the level of the first hunters who enter it is the level that they can subdue with their own power.”
“Hmm… I’ll have to see for myself first. That’s all they really have, so it’s just a matter of exuding magical power, or is there a beast strong enough to control the level of magic that it exudes?”
“If the latter…”
“It might be a bit of a tough fight.”
It was just a door that connected space and space, but with the door as a boundary, both sides were a completely different space.
In other words, if the level of mana felt on the other side of the door could be controlled, it was a level of mana management that was impossible even as Seonghyeon now.
The vice president couldn’t say anything else when he said that it would be a tough fight along with Sunghyun’s serious expression.
Because he was one of the few people who knew Seong-hyeon’s strength a little better, and he wasn’t the kind of person who said negative things, judging from his usual appearance.
“I hope not. And it won’t. In order to have the level of ability I was talking about, at least a level 1 door would have to mutate it.”
“First-class inquiry mutation…”
Just imagining it was terrifying.
I don’t know what kind of damage a second-class door will cause, but it’s a first-class door mutation.
“Im here.”
At the same time as the knight’s voice, we arrived at the place where there was a mutated second-class door.
As I was talking with the president of the association for an hour, it seemed that time had passed in an instant.
“I will go right away.”
“Yes. Take good care of me.”
When I got out of the car like that, the top hunters who participated in today’s subjugation were all looking at Seonghyeon.
“welcome. Hunter Kim Seong-hyun.”
Richie was the first to greet Seonghyeon like that.
And then, unexpectedly, Padron welcomed me.
“You are coming soon.”
“I was in a bit of a hurry.”
“…It’s sarcastic.”
“know.”
The twitching veins on his forehead seemed to have made him aware that he had already been defeated in this brief conversation, so Seonghyeon smiled happily and passed Padron in front of him.
“You have worked hard to come a long way.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Shall we go in first?”
“That’s right.”
Richie looked at the top hunters who were all ready to enter and said,
“then. let’s begin.”
Seonghyeon was the only hunter who requested support from the United States, so this was the first subjugation with the top hunters in the United States.
The moment I stepped into the mutated second-class door, an unknown sensation began to wrap around my body.
Something different from before.
The mutated second-class door that came in like that made me quite embarrassed from the moment I entered.
“…swamp?”
The floor was all swampy.
It was such a vast swamp that there was no place other than a swamp no matter where you looked inside the door.
“Ha… I hate being sticky.”
Padron wrinkled his brows heavily and pulled his feet out.
It would be fatal to ordinary people, but for top-level hunters, the swampy area was just an unpleasant place to tread and slip into.
“Debrail. Can you solidify all the swamps?”
Devile, who has water-related abilities, looked around once more and answered.
“It can be hardened, but this place is too wide. It would take at least a day to harden a swamp this wide.”
“Then check how wide this swamp is.”
“It’s that easy.”
Devile put her hands inside the swamp and began to use her magical powers.
Water-related abilities aren’t that strong, so it wasn’t easy to be recognized as the top hunter, but Devrail was a little different from ordinary water-related hunters.
Because the level of being able to manipulate water was almost at a level that was possible at the molecular level.
I could feel Devrail’s magic spreading rapidly through the submerged swamp.
Guessing the size of the swamp by directly feeling the moisture in it.
“Debrail. So when does it end?”
However, the process took about 10 minutes.
Considering the amount of magical power and operating ability of ordinary top-level hunters, no matter how wide it was, it could not have taken so long to figure it out.
Despite Padron’s slightly nervous question, Devrail answered after concentrating on figuring out the area for a while.
“…there is no end.”
“Is there no end? So, how big is the area you know now?”
“At least as wide as Australia.”
“Ho, Australia?”
Padron, who was hardly surprised by the unimaginable size, opened his mouth and didn’t say anything.
“okay. And in this swampy area, you can feel the subtle magic. I don’t know what the magic is for. Is it a natural phenomenon or someone deliberately inflicted it?”
This place was not without its doubts.
First of all, it was showing a low level of magical power from outside the door, and that it was a swamp area that had never appeared in history.
The fact that you could feel the magic in a swamp of this size here, it was very likely that the magic you felt outside was also the magic of this swamp.
It even had a much wider interior than the first-class door, and even the appearance of a demonic beast had not been seen for more than 10 minutes.
If it was hidden around, there was no way that the top level hunters could not have figured it out.
Seonghyeon couldn’t feel anything, so it wasn’t like she was hiding around.
“First, let’s solidify this area first…”
Devrail, who was about to say something, hurriedly withdrew his hand from the swamp at the tingling sensation he felt for a moment.
“What’s up?”
“…Everyone, use a little bit of your magic.”
“Magic?”
Following Devrail’s words, everyone started to use a little bit of their magic, and a slight tingling sensation started to appear.
“What is this dog-like feeling?”
As Padron said, the pain wasn’t enough to interfere with the fight, but it was enough to bother me.
If a beast appeared and felt pain while fighting, it could be a small variable.
“hey! seaweed! Please write me some purification!”
“I was going to write it anyway.”
It was so crude that it was difficult to compare it with the constraint, which was the ability of the mutated second-class moon boss whom he had dealt with before coming to the United States, so even Seong-hyeon’s purification was sufficient to respond.
“what are you doing? Do you want to use purification quickly?!”
“Did you use it?”
“What?”
Clearly, there was nothing felt on his body, but Seonghyeon’s expression was the one he really used.
Padron, who used his ability again like that, looked around again without saying a word at the tingling he felt.
“Oh, is this purification?”
“You really don’t feel anything?”
“I feel like my mind is clear.”
Everyone was busy admiring Sunghyun’s ability.
It was the same with Richie.
“It’s a really amazing ability.”
“Ritchie-sama’s abilities aren’t that great either.”
Padron knew that he was feeling it wrong, so he used his magic again a little, but again, he felt a tingling sensation.
“Are you sure that bastard used purification except for me?”
Seonghyeon and Seonghyun’s eyes met with a blank expression.
Seonghyeon’s eyes met like that, with an expression that seemed to ask him to politely say, ‘Please use some purification.’
No, it was definitely that expression.
“Hey, this dog…”
It was absurd enough that the cursing didn’t come out properly, but Seonghyeon didn’t really want to listen to polite words, so he quickly got fed up and reached out to himself.
“Okay, everything has been cleaned up.”
Seonghyun’s eyes were on him.
This time, I just let it go, but with an expression that I won’t look at you next time.
“Hey, you’re still cheeky.”
At the same time, the floor was getting harder and harder.
They were hardening with their feet missing, but those gathered here do not need to use any force to get their feet out anyway.
As he stepped forward to walk as usual, the ground cracked and he began to let go of the foot he was holding onto.
“With the current magic power, a land the size of a city can be hardened…”
Just before Devrail finished speaking, Padron shouted.
“come!!”
no one felt it
Seonghyeon also felt something weak, but it was small enough to let it be judged that it was not a threat.
The place Padron was looking at was none other than the sky.
“Did you harden the ground? Anyway, do you think that all the cubs who come here can do anything if they harden the ground together?”
In the sky I looked up at, a beast that wasn’t too big and had no magical power was floating in the air.
