A quiet night sky where only the sound of waves can be heard.
Under the pure white moonlight, I saw an aircraft speeding terribly.
Its true identity was Taejeong, who had escaped from the body of the sea king several hours ago and was walking straight ahead.
Intoxicated with the mood of the night sea, Taejeong looked at the round moon staring down at her.
“Is this really the moon I used to see every day?”
It was not a bright yellow moon, but a moon shining silver.
Its size was so large that it was incomparable to anything seen in the city, and it felt somehow dreamy.
It feels like entering a fairy tale.
“What are you all doing right now? Gerard.”
– Yes, master.
“Where are we at? Has Japan over there escaped?”
– Not yet.
“Is that all you still have? Slow is really slow. I need to change this quickly too.”
The jet blaster was a skill he acquired relatively early.
It was opened before I even went to Jeju Island, so it has long been outdated as a mobile device.
It was time for a new skill.
“Are there any new blasters coming out?”
-That’s right. The master has progressed mainly on quests, so the balance of the equipment is not right now. The basilisk celestial army you are currently working on is not originally something you can do at this level. Same goes for previous quests.
“Did you get twisted from beauty?”
-That’s right.
“Hmm.”
Among the hidden ones, Taejeong was the only one who cleared the maze without using the search skill.
To be precise, the level was low, so I entered without gaining any skills.
Considering that even level 900 hunters starved to death because they could not find their way, he was a very lucky case.
From the thought of breaking through the wall to the 36 rockets per minute with almost no skill damage.
Of course, other jobs were not without the ability to break through walls.
The 900-level Paladin, who had not returned at the time, also clearly had skills that exceeded rocket artillery in terms of destructive power.
The problem was that the cooldown of the special moves of general jobs, except for hidden, was very long, so even if they broke through the same wall, the probability of reaching the end was very small.
I don’t know if food and potions are infinite.
Since the hiddens who cleared first did not solve the information, there was not a single one who went in prepared to that extent.
Everyone wonders how strong monsters are there, because they didn’t even think that there would be thousands of such ridiculous passages.
“Is the quest too early for my level?”
-That’s right.
“I think you are right. Because there was always something close. But again, all of the rewards are gems… Should I lessen my greed? Oh yeah. what is he doing now?”
-Are you talking about Freesia?
“Is there anything else besides him? He pretended to be serious by himself earlier. What didn’t go as planned?”
-I don’t know that much, but you sealed your consciousness yourself.
“That would be nice.”
-What do you mean?
“You get beaten up every day. Poor guy, why don’t you ask Sirius to raise your salary? Then you wouldn’t suffer like this.”
– Thanks for thinking, but I’m fine.
“Are you really okay? I’m saying this because there is no Let’s open up and talk to each other. honestly not bad? In other words, you came in here first, but it’s funny how the stone that came in rolled in and hit the ground. is not it?”
-it’s okay. And I have no gender.
“Hey, that’s why you are an artificial intelligence. I can’t sympathize, sympathize. I don’t have any emotions so… But why do you have a hard time with him? No emotion means no fear. Why are you having a hard time with him?”
To Taejeong’s question, Gerard turned around and answered.
-How about taking a deep breath? You have been awake since dawn. I think it would be better to sleep now to match the biorhythm.
“Look at this? do you turn around? But I’m tired separately. All I did was crawl out of someone else’s x-hole. Then, as you advised, where should I go to sleep? If anything happens, wake me up right away.”
-All right. Have a good night.
It’s been two days since I’ve had a desperate (?) fight with the tria.
Icebergs finally began to appear in his field of vision.
Blue ice chunks floating all over the place.
Curiously, the ice was neither transparent nor white, but closer to blue.
It’s like looking at colored ice cream.
After flying for a long time, he was able to see the endless white continent.
“This is Antarctica. The iceberg was blue earlier, but this is a completely white space. Is it because the ice there eats water? Anyway, where are you now?”
-This is the northeastern outskirts of Antarctica, which is divided into four by the East Line.
“It’s on the northeastern outskirts. Since I said it is bigger than the US, I have to go a long way to get to the pole. What do you see from above?”
It was talking about b6-1.
-There is not.
“great. Notice is not long left. Let’s run again.”
There wasn’t much left to say, but it was actually a distance that would take a whole day to go.
It must have been about five or six hours since we made up our minds and set off.
A report came in from Gerard.
-master.
“why?”
-There are buildings that appear to be human beings around 10km ahead.
“Which country are you from?”
-Looking at the flag, I want to be Canadian. By the way… You seem to have been attacked by something.
“attack?”
-Most of the buildings are half-destroyed, and there are also things that are presumed to be corpses. The Norwegian base is also visible to the west. I can’t see it closely, but… It looks like there was a massive attack here too.
“You two got hit? I heard that the hunters dispatched here are not an easy team… who is alive? see? How old are you?”
– Currently none. Judging by the shape of the corpse, it seems that it has been attacked for some time.
“okay? Shall we stop by for a while? Did you say it was nearby?”
-Yes. Shall I take the coordinates?
“Take a picture, let’s go.”
If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t know, but I couldn’t help but go and see it.
After deploying cloaking in advance and flying several kilometers, Tae-jung was at a loss for words at the gruesome sight in front of her.
“this… what’s this?”
dead body.
Numerous corpses were scattered all over the place.
The number seems well over a hundred.
Barracks and bases were useless, from burnt to smashed, and what appeared to be barricades were also shattered and littered with rubble here and there.
Unknowingly, Taejeong landed on the ground and suddenly remembered the events of the day.
before waking up.
The screams and corpses of countless comrades who were dying right in front of their noses.
As the horrors overlapped, it was Tae-jeong who became confused.
“What the hell is going on? Many of these people have not been able to respond properly.”
There were no corpses of monsters.
In other words, it meant that he was overpowered.
As he looked around to see if anyone was alive, he soon realized something strange.
It was just that no one was properly dressed.
“Why are people dying naked? Aren’t you usually wearing gear when you come to places like this?”
It was definitely strange.
A few had weapons in their hands, but most had no clothing or equipment.
That wasn’t the only thing suspicious.
The wounds on the hunters’ bodies were too clean for those inflicted by monsters.
Even wild dogs turn people into scraps of rags.
Most of them had only large and small cuts, but they were in relatively good condition from the outside.
“Gerard, what do you think? I mean these people What do you think happened to you?”
-Seeing that there are no traces of the monsters, it doesn’t seem like they did anything.
“right. From what I see, it looks like this was done by a person?”
When no one seemed to be alive, he changed his position and headed for a Norwegian base several kilometers away.
The situation was the same here too.
Hunters who died naked.
It was a moment of confidence.
“This was done by 100 percent people. Killed and stripped of all equipment. But who… … .”
According to the data handed over to Park Se-ah, Antarctica was a common world peace zone.
A place where there should be no armed conflict between each other.
However, who the hell did such a reckless thing that could turn the whole world into an enemy?
“What is going on here?”
* * *
In the darkness all around.
Hundreds of men and women could be seen through the bars.
They were people of different nationalities and had been captured during the recent East Line Blood Slaughter.
There were a few Asians who seemed to be among them.
Dozens of men who looked even more haggard.
Those who were caught before the Europeans were guild members belonging to the Winners of Incheon who were brought here after going on an expedition.
Among them, the sturdiest man whispered while looking at the surroundings.
“As the days go by, there are fewer and fewer people. Now you have to make a decision.”
At the man’s words, another man quickly shook his head.
“Is it because you don’t know what happened to the people who got caught while escaping last time? They were thrown alive as monster food.”
“Then you’re just going to wait here to die?”
“That means we can’t even make it on our own. I wonder if I can join forces with everyone here. You saw their skills. It’s not our level.”
“But are you planning to kill all of our guild members without even trying?”
“You are the best. Your teammates are all here. We don’t even know where our team is now. Dead or alive.”
“It’s frustrating, I’m going crazy, really. It’s no use saying you’re going on an expedition.”
Saying that, the man looked at a group of hunters who were sitting in the corner, lost in fascination.
Chinese hunters who managed and supervised the away team.
They, too, could not escape the Witchbeast.
In fact, they felt the most miserable than anyone else here.
This is because they were caught by hunters in their own country, not elsewhere.
What was even more surprising was that the family members of the head of the volcano, the barrier-bearer, were also present here.
who is the barrier
After Outbreak, he was the leader of the volcano that boasted a million troops that unified China.
The fact that his family members were brought here meant that something terrible had happened to present-day China.
The problem is that there is no organization in China that can do such a thing.
So it was more of a panic.
who destroyed the volcano
They also knew nothing.
When everyone is locked in their own thoughts.
The barred door opened and a man wearing a translator entered.
“Today, they are Korean guys. Make sure no one is left out.”
At those words, the Hunters’ faces darkened in an instant.
