The next day, 28 hours after the start of the quest.
Kim Jeong-yong, president of the Korean Heroes Association, was walking down a long hallway with a solemn face.
The place he is currently walking is the hallway leading to the conference room at USN.
As he passed by the hallway, which felt especially long today, he remembered what Hajun had said in the morning.
-really… … , would you like to do that?
It was Kim Jeong-yong who was stunned with his mouth open for a moment at Ha-joon’s calm words.
It was because he spit out a strategy that made no sense in reality.
-Yes.
However, Hajun just nodded calmly, convinced of the opinion he thought was realistically impossible.
-You said you would support not only Korea but also 5 other countries… … .
Right now, Hajun replied that he would support the six countries where the dimensional dungeons were opened.
Kim Jong-yong couldn’t help but think that it was reckless and impossible.
But on the other hand, Kim Jeong-yong knew that he was not in a position to deny anything.
Kim Jeong-yong, the president of the association, sighed and said to Ha-joon.
– I am not in a position to deny the opinion of Cadet Ha Jun. Most of all, it helped me the most. but… … , Are you really okay?
The boy with his mouth open in front of him was an irregular.
A hero whose existence itself has become a deterrent by reducing the country’s villain terror rate alone.
The president of the association, Kim Jeong-yong, was confident.
That the boy in front of me is the strongest and greatest hero of the present age.
Still, I couldn’t help but worry.
No matter how much I thought about him saying that he would support the dimensional dungeons of 6 countries alone, he seemed to be overdoing it.
However, Ha-jun only nodded lightly at the words of Kim Jeong-yong, the president of the association.
As if it were simple and not difficult.
– Yes, it’s fine. I’ll leave the negotiations to the president of the association.
It was Ha-jun who left the office of the president of the association with those words.
After reminiscing, Kim Jeong-yong slowly opened his eyes.
‘Negotiation’.
Irregular is saying that it will support 6 countries unilaterally, but how can the word negotiation come out?
There was no way that Kim Jong-yong was unaware of this fact.
Irregular, he said, holding up the card that he would support 6 countries and negotiating with the heads of the associations of each country.
No matter how the six countries are united, they also have to block the dimensional dungeon opened in their own country, so support is inevitably delayed.
Even if there is a huge history of Korea’s great heroes, Sword King, Shinsou Liella Hannis, and Irregular, in the opinion of the head of the association, there is a shortage of heroes, similar to that of the United Kingdom.
That’s why his expression as he headed toward the conference room at USN couldn’t help but be more spleen.
Considering that threatening monsters will pour out like a lot in that gigantic dimensional dungeon, it is a situation where multiple hero manpower is needed rather than one strong power.
Of course, Kim Jeong-yong decided to respect Ha-joon’s opinion more than anything else.
He did not have the right to deny that he was reckless towards Ha-jun, who decided that he would protect all countries where the dimensional dungeon was open, not just Korea.
Up to now, the person who has entrusted irregulars with the most reckless and unreasonable tasks has been himself above all else.
Saying it was impossible for him and asking him to protect only Korea was his own greed and deception.
That’s why he remembers what he decided to say while watching Hajun in the past.
‘I will do my best to support you.’
It was a decision I made while watching Hajun’s activities a long time ago.
If he makes an unreasonable and reckless choice, he will support it as much as possible rather than stop it. Even if the association and himself are criticized, he will support him as much as possible regardless.
That was the decision she made long ago while looking at the boy.
pop-
Kim Jeong-yong, who was moving forward like that, stood tall in front of a certain door.
It was the door to the USN conference room.
A place where the heads of associations of countries where the gates of the current dimension dungeons are open gather.
He opened the door to the meeting room and moved forward to make it as easy as possible for Ha-joon.
It’s your job to support the boy behind the scenes.
* * *
Currently, due to the unprecedented situation in which dimensional dungeons have been opened above the capitals of each country, movement between countries and regions is legally possible with the support of countries where dimensional dungeons have not been opened.
Seoul was also empty except for some citizens who could not evacuate.
In the modern age of advanced magic and technology, the evacuation of citizens proceeded faster than Ha-jun expected. Perhaps by tonight, all citizens of Seoul will have completed their evacuation.
And in this situation, the remaining heroes and association agents in Seoul were preparing for the break in the dimensional dungeon.
The method was the same as in other countries where dimensional dungeons were opened.
-I carved my barrier magic circle in other countries, including Korea.
Hajun was walking through the empty downtown Seoul and talking to Anna on the phone.
The most powerful barrier magic created by Anna, who inherited the power of the sage.
Anna shared the great magic formula with the association of the country where the dimensional dungeon was opened.
Anyway, what is needed to activate magic is magic, so it would be possible to activate and maintain Anna’s great magic by mobilizing a large number of wizards.
-The magic itself is special because it is made with the energy of the sage, and the magic itself required to activate it is not special. Anyone with magic power should be able to activate it.
As she said, the sage’s aura is made with special magic, not the magic needed to activate it.
The sage’s energy was the power to help create new magic and create infinite magic by manipulating the magic floating in the air.
In other words, it was a magic that could be invoked by anyone with a number of superhumans and spells.
-The installation of all magic circles is complete. Now, just infuse magic into that magic circle, and it will activate right away.
Anna, who never gets tired due to the generation of infinite magic power, traveled through the gates of each country where the dimensional dungeons were open and carved a huge magic circle on the floor of the center of the capital city into the ground.
Since it was already inscribed anyway, only magic power had to be applied to the spell, so among the heroes currently gathered in Seoul, the middle and low-level heroes, excluding the high-level and top-level ones, took on the role of invoking the magic circle.
It was a measure to prevent the monsters falling from the dimensional dungeon from escaping to other areas. This was a policy that countries other than Korea also implemented.
“Good work.”
-No, it wasn’t that hard because it was just engraving the magic circle itself on the floor. Rather, it would be difficult for the heroes who use their strength to activate magic. First… … , More than that, Jun Ha, is it true what you said yesterday?
“yes.”
In response to Anna’s careful question, Hajun answered in a calm voice as if he agreed.
It was because Ha-joon had already told the children when they gathered at the academy that he would support the whole country where the dimensional dungeon was opened.
-Don’t push yourself too hard.
“Yes, you too.”
– Then I’m done… … , I still have work to do.
“Yes, good job.”
After saying that, Hajun hung up the phone.
Inheriting the power of the current sage, she must have prepared other magic besides barrier magic in preparation for an unexpected situation.
After hanging up the phone with Anna, Ha-joon took a walk in downtown Seoul, which became quiet for a while.
Should I say it’s a very short break?
It was a little bit, but I felt free.
By tomorrow, Hajun would have to move busier than anyone else.
So I took a walk around the city and on my way back home.
Tiriling! Hearing the text message, Hajun took out his phone and checked the message.
The text was from Kim Jeong-yong, the president of the association.
Its content was concise.
[The negotiations have been completed successfully.]
The corners of Hajun’s mouth went up slightly at the contents of the text.
I was a little dubious, but it seemed that the negotiations were completed safely.
Honestly, there was no way to explain to them how it was possible before saying that they would support all countries where dimensional dungeons occurred.
Still, it seems that I couldn’t just ignore the words that Irregular would apply.
[The gates leading to each country where the dimensional dungeon occurred are prepared in the basement of the association.]
After confirming the text message, Hajun sent a brief reply, then put the smartphone back in his pocket and walked around the city.
Of course, there was no specific destination.
It’s just that I’m just taking a walk thinking that there is only now that I can feel this kind of leisure.
While walking around the city like that, a girl landed lightly from the sky in front of Ha-jun and stood in front of him.
Of course, because she had a stronger energy than before, Ha-joon knew in advance that she was approaching him even before she landed.
“Irregular.”
lane.
She put her wings on her back and approached Hajun and said.
“I found a place where its location was expected.”
He must have meant the King of the Elves, of course.
However, even though he found the place where he was supposed to be, he made a puzzled expression while looking at her here.
Soon her gaze turned to the sky and I could see why she couldn’t go there right now.
“America’s dimensional dungeon, Leanon said that he could feel its energy strongly beyond it.”
“You mean you can only go when the gate is open after all?”
“yes.”
Well, to be honest, Hajun also expected it.
The idea that there must be them beyond the gate.
Hearing her words made me feel confident.
At that time, Lane’s eyes turned into dragon eyes, and Leanon’s voice flowed from her mouth.
[If you kill Hermors, the king of the elves, the gate in the sky will probably disappear.]
“Do you need any help?”
[no.]
I asked just in case, but Leanon shook his head.
Leanon said.
[If you intend to kill the King of Giants, Gigant Maciad, don’t use your strength for useless things and save your magic. That is the only possibility.]
At those words, Hajun narrowed his brows.
He was told by Pilaten that he could not be killed even with the magic of crushing.
At that time, Leanon, who took a step closer, opened his mouth while staring at Hajun fiercely.
[The power of crushing. Realize its essence, Irregular.]
“Essence?”
[Don’t forget the voices of the ghosts following you.]
It was Leanon who raised a finger with those words.
The moment he lifted his index finger and slowly put it on Hajun’s forehead.
Whoa!
In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed.
familiar landscape.
Ha-joon could not have known this place.
A sky full of red bloody sunsets and countless bones.
This now familiar space was the world of Ha Jun’s image.
The moment I looked around, I heard Leanon’s voice.
[The King of Dwarves, Horton. The essence of his magical power is not just to destroy everything.]
At that moment, innumerable hands emerged from between the floor made of bones with a scream like a scream and wrapped around Hajun’s whole body.
Screams of pain and shouts of fury were heard.
When the screams of the ghosts full of grievances resonate in Ha-jun’s ears.
The moment Leanon’s continuing voice was heard.
[Listen to their voices, Irregular.]
The world has changed again.
When Hajun looked around again, neither the red sky nor the floor made of bones existed.
It will return to its original reality.
As Ha-jun looked around, his gaze turned to Leanon in front of him, and Leanon, who was looking straight at Ha-jun, opened his mouth.
[If you don’t realize that, you can’t kill him.]
