145 – Start hunting now
A large army of Abyss arrived just one day away from the friendly camp.
It is located over a small hill in front of the Kaesong front line.
The commanding staff, led by Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo, could not hide their tension while capturing the sight of the enormous force that spread so wide that it was impossible to know the end.
“There are so many that it’s really gross.”
“Yes.. In addition, their individual combat power is difficult for non-hunters to handle, so their actual military power must be truly formidable.”
According to our investigations so far, their power estimates are close to 100,000.
Among them, the number of low-level Abyss was uncountable, and even the middle-level Abyss alone were tens of thousands.
The number of senior Abyss also seemed to be at least 10,000.
And there’s one more thing…
There are hundreds of beings that are considered to be something that surpasses even the advanced Abyss.
I don’t know, but in order to face this amount of power head-on, I had to gather more than half of the power currently possessed by the Republic of Korea here.
In addition, the participation of the best hunters among the S-class is also essential.
But..
The high-ranking people who actually had the authority to move the army were engaged in a new game called a power struggle among themselves, and because of this, most of the power was still scattered across the country centered on Seoul and each metropolitan city.
It wasn’t that there was no time in the first place, and even though it was a force that could have been gathered as much as it was if it wanted to, in the end, the movement of the unit was hardly done.
After all, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the current crisis situation was caused by the foolish actions of those trash.
‘Then, after we win this war, you’re going to start talking shit about putting a spoon on it, right? It’s obvious.. There’s no way the things they’re doing will change.’
So, while feeling deep dissatisfaction with the situation that was to follow, Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo decided to focus on the battle in front of his eyes.
A swarming army of Abyss spread over the horizon.
Beyond that… the sun slowly began to set.
The time when the shadows lengthened and darkness began to cover the world.
Fortunately today, thanks to the moon not even rising, the surroundings were quickly sinking into complete darkness.
“Are you ready?”
“Of course, without an error. It is a situation that has been thoroughly prepared.”
“How is the situation inside the front lines?”
“You, too, have finished all preparations. As soon as the operation begins, we will immediately move into action.”
The lieutenants speak in a voice full of seriousness and conviction.
Regarding this, Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo nodded slowly, then carefully picked up the receiver.
“The time has come. Everything is ready. Please give me orders.”
Immediately after that, a voice rang in his ear.
It was the voice of the man who directed the design and preparation of all these plates.
-“All right. Then… I immediately order the start of the operation. Please proceed without any error.”-
“All right. Then.. please have no luck.”
Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo immediately ended the call with those words.
Then he looked at the adjutants around him and said.
“let’s begin. Please go to your respective locations.”
“yes. All right.”
As soon as the words were over, the adjutants immediately sat down.
as said before. They quickly began issuing orders to their respective troops.
“The operation has begun. Please move all troops to that location.”
“Even if we talked about it in advance, please proceed with all procedures quickly.
Adjutants who tell stories with a bit of urgency to their unit members.
At the same time, the defense line, which had been quiet, began to become noisy in an instant, and the movements of numerous personnel began in earnest.
And at a timing one step behind them.
Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo, who had been silent for a while, slowly grabbed the microphone placed in front of him and spoke in a low voice.
“Then… please move immediately as planned. Please proceed with the operation.”
-“okay. Leave it to me.” –
Adjutant Jeong Gong-heo speaks in a tense voice..
and at the same time
The person who heard his instructions.
A strong player in the top five in Korea.
The 4th guild’s guild master, Kwak Je-hyeon, took a last look at his trademark red combat uniform and slowly stood up.
The hunters follow her and get up from their seats holding weapons.
None of them had unified clothes or weapons, but apart from that, they were feeling the same emotions at this moment.
There was not even a speck of fear on their faces.
Bliss and joy and a little madness/
And… representing the emotions they are feeling,
Kwak Je-hyeon lightly wielded the sword in his hand and said to his colleagues.
“then. The hunt begins now.”
*
A distance that left the human line of defense for a day.
There, Seo Ji-yoon and the Abyss under her command were waiting for a moment.
It wasn’t for the same carefree reason as to relieve the fatigue of moving.
It is… to welcome ‘guests’ who will definitely visit this place sooner or later.
It was to easily crush those foolish guys who were moving around using their brains.
‘Human beings are most dangerous when they mistakenly think they are smart… And I think now is the time.’
Seo Ji-yoon is spending time leisurely sitting in the middle of the camp with such thoughts.
It began to smile slowly at the corners of its mouth as it slowly stroked the head of the huge bird that was spilling out of its belly.
at that time..
“… dhkTrnsk?”
Seo Ji-yoon gets up from her seat with those words.
At the same time, bright lights rising toward the sky began to enter before her eyes.
lighting bullets…
A proof that many hunters have arrived here.
A cold smile began to form on Seo Ji-yoon’s lips, and she immediately began to give orders to her children.
-‘Power advance. It wipes out everything visible and visible!’-
As soon as her order was given, the Abyss began to emit red light from their eyes.
Their breathing quickened in an instant, and their muscles began to expand rapidly.
A change that anyone who knows about the existence of the Abyss can recognize.
frenzy state.
Despite the absence of any external stimuli, such as the smell of the blood of their allies or the energy of the battlefield, they quickly began to transform from mindless beasts into bloodthirsty berserkers.
“Kreurreung… ”
“Kyaaa!!!”
At the same time, the Abyss start to run forward at a terrifying speed.
This change was also the same for the black feathered humanoid Abyss who were guarding it right next to it.
‘A clumsy attack against a strong enemy is rather angry.. Now pay the price painfully. Foolish humans!’
*
“Haaa!”
“Kyaaa!!”
Kwak Je-hyeon wields a sword at the Abyss rushing in front of him.
Even in this situation, where if you kill one, two will immediately start attacking, she rather slashed the Abyss without hesitation with a smile on her lips.
“Are you willing to try? I’ve been killing people like you until I’m sick of it!”
The guild master, who is the strongest among S-class hunters
Among them, Kwak Je-hyeon, who has risen to the top ranks..
For her, wielding a weapon against the endless Abyss like now was as familiar to her as having to eat the military lia burgers that came out twice a week.
As if to prove that he is not a top-notch hunter with the nickname red for nothing, Hunter Kwak Je-hyeon does not even show signs of shaking despite the endless waves of attacks.
However, this was not just a story for her at this moment.
-Kwagwagwagwagwang!!!!
“die!”
“Wipe it all away!”
Hunters brandish their weapons without hesitation against the sound of bombing falling behind enemy lines.
Although they illuminated their vision with flares, it was not easy to determine their exact size as they were basically in the dark forest.
But..
Nonetheless, one thing was vaguely clear.
The Abyss came endlessly.
It was true that even while dealing with them, the hunters’ screams of pain were not heard at all.
Sounds bursting through the darkness.
Explosions resounding from all sides…
And it was only the last words the Abyss uttered.
