Side Story – Demon World (3)
‘It’s empty.’
From Noble mtl dot com
A war taking place in the demon world. In the aftermath, the flower pots were empty. The procession of transporting injured people or supplies continued.
I wanted to go over there and fight with Serenian, but I didn’t. It wasn’t because of work.
“Are you sure you want to?”
“You contacted me first in the first place.”
“That’s true, but…”
I chuckled at Kim Dong-chun’s call and let him know that my intentions had not changed. In the first place, I only accepted it because the other party contacted me first.
‘If we can defeat the Orcs of Ludga here, there is no reason to refuse.’
The call that came to me was from Team Leader Joo Yoon-ah of the National Intelligence Service, whom I had been in contact with through several incidents. The question is whether you will participate in wiping out an organization that is openly colluding with the Orcs. It was a secret mission led by the state.
The mission was so shady that famous hunters couldn’t even come forward and offered it to a retired hunter like me, but I didn’t necessarily refuse the mission.
This is because they know that they are reproducing the power of imperfect heroes through experiments by kidnapping people from Earth, and that this is becoming an obstacle to the war taking place in the demon world.
“You really want to follow me with that body?”
“We won’t be able to fight from the front. Still, it’s much better. “Thanks to you.”
I wasn’t going alone. At the meeting place, I sighed when I saw Seo Eun-young, who had come out to crawl after her, with Kang Yu-na watching her.
“I didn’t heal you so you could fight again.”
“As you say, it seems like you have no intention of stopping me. After all, a lot has changed. No, has Jammin grown a lot since his days?”
She just giggled after hearing what I said. She still wears an eyepatch, but surprisingly, her arms and legs are trying to regenerate little by little, and now only one arm is wearing a prosthetic arm.
They were all miracles achieved by drinking the essence of the world tree that I periodically gave them. Even in the hunter world, where things that often defy the laws of physics occur, it was enough to be called a miracle.
“I won’t ask what the water is or where and how you got it. “But seeing as you’re stepping forward like this, maybe this incident has something to do with it?”
‘You still have a good sense of humor.’
She didn’t ask where it came from, as if she was being considerate, but she put me in trouble by guessing like this. In the end, I couldn’t stop her from following me.
“Everyone is here.”
And while we were chatting like that, other people arrived at the meeting place.
“As I explained, this mission is top secret. This is because it is a mission that may require you to go to a foreign land and harm people in a foreign country. Thank you for acceding to our request.”
“Why such an unreasonable number?”
“I thought it was that urgent. Of course, it’s not me, it’s the superiors.”
Joo Yuna bowed her head with a short greeting. Those gathered at the scene were a few hunters except me, Kang Yu-na, and Seo Eun-young.
And it was another person brought by Joo Yun-ah.
‘This is my first time seeing the real thing.’
I’ve only seen this person on screen. Although he was a famous hunter, he was not famous for his strength. His abilities were so unique that he was one of the most famous people in the world.
“Once you open the door, you will immediately be taken to the local gathering place. From there, we will move together with coalition hunters to raid the terrorist organization’s stronghold and its fighters.”
He looked to be about my age and flicked his hands in the air. Then something surprising happened: the space behind him began to split apart.
Then, a crack that looked like a ‘gate’ appeared and began to see us.
“Huh?”
“S, it’s an attack. “The gathering place has been attacked!”
The problem was that as soon as the gate was opened, screams and shouting were heard from the other side. The eyes of those who saw that place widened.
Armed orcs were attacking the gathering place and killing our troops.
“Why are you standing there blankly! “We have to save it right now!”
At a time when everyone was panicking, Seo Eun-young shouted and brought her to her senses. Then, perhaps because of the past memories left in my body, I reflexively jumped into it.
“Go, let’s go together!”
Kang Yu-na followed behind, and Seo Eun-young also followed. The rest soon followed, crossing the gate and attacking the orcs.
[It looks like Ludga was in a hurry too. This much?]
What the Wind Spirit said was not wrong. These orcs teeming in the barren mountains of the Middle East were more numerous than any orcs I had ever seen in a dungeon.
“Then it’s better.”
Laughed faintly. This means that as the number of people we kill here increases, the number of people we kill over there continues to decrease.
I increased my strength. Although the grand power of the warrior’s power is a power that is only used in pots, the power I acquired and acquired to awaken it remained my power.
“Hey, what is that guy!”
“That’s ridiculous. “Of the elves…”
The countless arrows I summoned spun fiercely and pierced their bodies.
Some of the people who had been hit could be heard muttering in disbelief. I was already familiar with this reaction, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
“It’s a shooting. “Are they terrorists?”
“It’s obvious.”
It wasn’t just the orcs. Bullets flying occasionally. These small pieces of metal that couldn’t penetrate my power and bounced around helplessly were bullets fired by those who sell people to monsters for their own purposes.
“You bastards!”
With Kang Yu-na, who started shooting an arrow, we began to move forward little by little. If this stronghold is pushed out, one of the ties that the orcs trust will be lost, which will be of great help to those fighting in the demon world.
“It feels like I’m dreaming. “Because I fight with you like it was 10 years ago.”
“It was worse than this back then.”
In the meantime, Seo Eun-young’s words made me laugh.
“The original plan was to receive separate instructions here.”
“So what now?”
“You have to move autonomously.”
Kang Yu-na, who was only used to orderly team play, had no idea what to do in this chaos and could only fire arrows at the enemy in front of her, but in fact, I was more accustomed to this type of battle.
Find your way by making the most of improvisation instead of conveying information or thorough instructions from the operator.
“It’s over there.”
While others were fighting fiercely, I sensed the flow of mana flowing from the orcs and discovered a passage leading to their base.

“Oh, what should I do? First of all, the door was closed as planned. “If we even think about evacuating, shouldn’t we reopen it?”
“Please continue waiting. Although there were unexpected variables, the plan has not yet been ruined. There hasn’t been an order from above yet.”
The situation at the gathering area within the gate is chaos itself. However, the hunters, led by Seunghyeon, went inside and fought.
Unable to maintain her gate for long, he once closed her gate and looked back at Joo Yuna, but Joo Yuna, who reported this to her superiors, had a surprisingly calm face.
“Uh, where are you going!?”
“Other employees will take care of it from now on. So please proceed as planned. “I have a place I need to go to in person.”
She was calling somewhere and turned around and left the scene. She was surprised and caught him, but she left, telling him to wait with the other employees since her plan had not gone awry.
‘Has the plan to deal with monsters come true?’
She got into her vehicle and drove straight across the road at this late hour.
However, the place she was heading to was not the government building where her boss was located, nor was it where her own home was located, which was stamped on her address.
On the outside, it is an ordinary mountain with nothing in it.
She parked her car roughly on the side of the road and naturally began climbing this dark mountain.
“You came early?”
“I came to take it just in case.”
When she picked up her cell phone and contacted someone, to her surprise, a person suddenly jumped out from the dark mountain. He was an ordinary middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker. He looked like an ordinary hiker, but his atmosphere was definitely not that of an ordinary person.
As if they knew each other, the two people were not surprised when they saw each other and treated each other naturally.
“I heard the news. “Let’s go in.”
He naturally guided her inside.

The place they headed was a small gap in the middle of the mountain. At first glance, it was a very insignificant and small gap that no one would pay any attention to.
However, the moment Joo Yoon-ah, who had passed her rough path, pushed her body into the gap.
“…”
A completely different world from the dark mountains was unfolding before her eyes. An open plain with various temporary buildings. She looked up blankly at the huge crystal floating high in the sky.
