Chapter 220
Chapter 220
The whole world was turned upside down.
“W-what!”
“What is this?!”
“Did the dungeon break go off?!”
“Really, what is this?”
People around the world who were watching the live video were shocked to see the final scene frozen.
Thousands of legions suddenly emerged from nothing!
The overwhelming sense of intimidation given by the shadow soldiers waving black vapor all over their bodies seemed to be felt beyond the screen.
“What, what? “Could this be the mutant that Siddharth Bachchan experimented with on humans?”
“Is that really it? “Like the dragon people, they also have wings!”
“Is there even one without wings?”
“You Chinese bastards! “Keep showing me what it was!”
Just like that, screenshots of the last moments began to spread around the world.
The news also reached the ears of many famous people around the world.
* * *
Russia.
“her? What is this again? China?”
“They say it happened in the Indian state of Manipur, Mr. Prime Minister.”
“Hmm.”
Prime Minister Yuri Orlov, Russia’s strongest S-class hunter, and the country’s de facto leader, stared at the screen shown by his secretary with narrowed eyes.
Thousands of black shadows.
Prime Minister Yuri Orlov’s eyes were shining like snakes as he carefully scanned the figures of the demonic beasts, which gave off an unusual atmosphere.
A calculator runs in his head.
“If it’s Manipur, there is no chance of it crossing over to us.”
“yes. “It is far away, and China is holding up in the middle, so we believe there is no chance of it reaching our country.”
“What if this isn’t a dungeon break?”
“Well, that’s… … .”
The secretary stuttered, looking a little embarrassed by Yuri Orlov’s sharp criticism.
“If these black guys are not ordinary demons, there is a small chance that they are a hunter’s summoning skill… … .”
Even though she was answering with her own mouth, the secretary thought it was nonsense.
One hunter can command this many summons?
‘No way.’
Summoners were usually mediocre people who could only assist in battle.
Even if an Irregular appeared among the summoners, how much magic power would it take to summon that number?
In the first place, could the human body be able to withstand that amount of magical power?
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution.
‘no way.’
In the middle of answering, the secretary remained silent, and only one possibility occurred to her mind.
Isn’t the man standing right in front of you proof of that?
“If this is a true hunter’s skill, it is likely that it used a method of drawing in external magical power.”
“It’s external magical power… … . Hehe. “That’s my organ?”
“… … .”
When Yuri Orlov’s eyes turned towards him, the secretary slightly lowered his head.
My spine became damp with cold sweat at the sight of his cool eyes.
gulp.
I might be used to it now, but whenever I was in front of this man, I felt like a frog in front of a snake.
Russian Prime Minister Yuri Orlov.
This old man, who is now smiling cheerfully at himself, was suddenly inaugurated as Minister of National Defense a year ago.
At the time, he had no political experience, but no one considered it a disadvantage.
Because he was an S-class hunter.
It is said that a walking strategic weapon, a superman, will take the lead in taking charge of national defense. Who would be opposed to that?
In particular, his main skill, ‘Barrier’, was the most desperately needed ability in Russia, where monster fields frequently occur due to the vast land area.
Even his barrier magic circle was maintained by absorbing the surrounding magic power, and it had the deceptive ability to
make the barrier stronger and larger as the surrounding magic power becomes stronger.
In short, the stronger the opponent, the more his skills are maximized.
As soon as he became Minister of National Defense, he drew magic circles around major urban centers in Russia and created wide-area barriers.
In the process, a large amount of magic stones collected by other hunters were consumed, but Yuri Orlov, who received all
the achievements and glory in one body was nicknamed ‘Savior’ and received enthusiastic support from the entire nation.
But looking back…
In the first place, all problems began when power was placed in the hands of a powerful superhuman called an S-class hunter.
No matter how auxiliary the class is, the power of an S-class hunter is beyond imagination.
Yuri Orlov, who received the welcome and support of the entire nation, achieved the position of ‘Prime Minister’, the second
most powerful person in the country, ‘on his own’ in less than half a year after becoming Minister of Defense.
The person who had been prime minister until then was found dead the very next day, but who would dare come forward?
‘Actually, all citizens know who the culprit is, but if they don’t want to die, they have no choice but to keep quiet.’
The prime minister suddenly dies, and Yuri Orlov announces that he will become prime minister as if he had been waiting for it.
Even though he shamelessly revealed his ambition, no one complained.
It was because of a word he confidently declared along with his intention to become prime minister.
-Don’t worry! As long as I’m here, Russia will forever be safe!
Yes.
There was no choice in the first place.
For the Russians who were already protected and living within the wide-area barrier he created.
‘No, if this man had tried to become president, I would have protested. ‘It’s literally a coup.’
Hunter’s military rule was an action that was criticized internationally and socially.
If that were the case, the International Hunter Association would probably have intervened and tried to stop his ambition.
But strangely enough, Yuri Orlov did not want the presidency.
Because what he wanted was the position of prime minister, right below him, there was not much opposition from the people.
After all, he was in charge of national defense.
But Orlov’s secretary found out some time ago.
This is a hidden truth that other countries do not yet know.
‘… … This man has already made the president his puppet.’
The president, who was the most powerful person in the country, had a lot to lose, and all of those things were his weaknesses and hostages.
Even his own life was in danger like a candle in the wind in front of an S-class hunter.
Orlov, on the other hand, had nothing to lose.
He had remained single until this age, and his parents had already died of old age long before the cataclysm.
So there was nothing to stop his ambition, neither by force nor by strategy.
‘Russia already belongs to Yuri Orlov.’
If it’s not revealed anyway, no one will know.
Russia had long since become a world where anything was possible through force, and on the surface, the country was maintaining the same peace as before.
‘If only I kept my mouth shut.’
“So, what you’re saying is that someone with abilities like me has appeared now?”
Startle.
The secretary, who was awakened by Yuri Orlov’s voice, opened his mouth while looking carefully.
“… … “It’s just an assumption.”
“What are the odds that guy is from Russia?”
“It is extremely low. It happened in India, to begin with, and there are rumors that it was a Chinese or Korean hunter.
“Considering the circumstances, the Korean version is more credible.”
“It’s Korea… … Write it. “After all, they are right below our country.”
Yuri Orlov drank the wine he was holding with a disapproving expression and threw the wine glass on the floor.
Clink!
The secretary’s shoulders flinched at the sharp noise of the glass shattering.
“Go see. “We will continue to report as new information emerges.”
“Yes, I understand.”
After the secretary left, Yuri Orlov was left alone and opened a new bottle of wine.
Then, after gulping down the entire bottle, I suddenly turned my gaze to look out the window, where I could see a panoramic view of the city.
Smirk.
The corners of his mouth slowly rose and a wry smile appeared.
“… … Should I kill him?”
Corps and barrier.
The spear and shield had the worst compatibility.
It would be great if we could all get on the same side.
If that were the case, wouldn’t it be obvious who would be the bridesmaid?
“I guess I need to collect more magic stones.”
Yuri Orlov’s eyes sparkled insidiously.
* * *
And meanwhile in America.
“Haha. Look at this guy. “You did a really good job this time?”
Thomas Andre, who was watching the news on a tablet, chuckled and spoke to Laura.
Sure enough, Laura was shaking her head and sighing.
“This is my first time. “There is no man who makes more noise than you, Thomas.”
“Oh, Laura! Doesn’t that sound a bit sad? “No matter how old I am, I still do it when I can!”
“Don’t feel competitive about something like that, please.”
Enjoying Laura’s disgusted reaction, Thomas Andre turned his gaze back to the tablet and smiled like a boy.
“Thanks to China, you had a very grand debut. “I don’t know if this will be poisonous or not, but one thing is certain.”
The corners of his mouth were smiling, but his fierce eyes were shining like a wild beast.
“Starting from this, the bugs hiding in the shadows will come out in earnest.”
I don’t know if he intended it or not, but in any case, Sung Suho declared an all-out war against the entire world this time.
Towards the foreign religion, the apostles of Italim, who have been lurking in secret all over the earth like insects until now.
Ttuduk. Ttuduk.
Thomas Andre clenched his fists and fiercely exposed his teeth.
“OK. “I will accept that match.”
“So it’s not a competition… … ha.”
Bug hunting also began in the United States.
* * *
And at that time, in North Korea as well.
“President of the Association! “I think you should take a look at this!”
“Is there a problem?”
Chairman Woo Jin-cheol of the association turned his head at the secretary’s voice.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwang!
At that moment, a huge rock golem was collapsing behind him with a huge explosion sound.
No one was surprised by the sight as if the building was being demolished.
Because Choi Jong-in, the strongest hunter in Korea, and no one else, was taking the lead in subduing the demonic beasts.
“It seems like something big has happened in India.”
“… … hmm?”
Chairman Woo Jin-cheol took the tablet handed out by his secretary and pushed up the sunglasses he was wearing.
Then, emotions that were not normally seen appeared in the two sharp eyes resembling birds of prey.
Astonishment.
“Now, wait! This can’t be… … !”
“… … President of the Association?”
Everyone around him couldn’t help but be confused by his reaction as he checked the tablet again in great confusion.
That’s because no one here has ever seen Chairman Woo Jin-cheol this embarrassed.
What was the reason why Woo Jin-cheol, the president of the association, was praised in Korea in the first place?
He was a person who predicted and prepared for all future situations as if he were living his second life.
In fact, most of his predictions were accurate, and this was enough to make you wonder if he had skills such as prophecy or future vision.
Among them, the biggest achievement, no matter what anyone says, was awakening Choi Jong-in, Korea’s strongest hunter who was active there, and immediately attracted him to the association.
At the same time as the cataclysm, the Hunter Act was enacted to prevent villains who would run amok without law.
During that turbulent time, it was Woo Jin-cheol who calmly followed all the procedures and created various bills more calmly than any other politician.
However, Woo Jin-Cheol, who is synonymous with calmness, was now looking very embarrassed and shocked and not knowing what to do.
“Oh, how did this happen? Could it be that he has returned? No, that’s a bit… … Now, wait a minute, can’t that be?!”
Woo Jin-cheol, who had been rambling alone for a while holding a screenshot of the broadcast, finally found it.
The face of the hunter who burst the giant demon beast like a balloon with one fist before thousands of shadow soldiers appeared.
“… … Haha.”
Finally, a laugh burst out of Woo Jin-cheol’s mouth.
It ended up being good.
Unfortunately, this man’s face was not the person he had been waiting for.
But instead.
Who is this man whose face so closely resembles his?
What is the identity of the ‘ant’ right next to this guy that is so small that you have to enlarge the screen for a while to be able to see it?
Woo Jin-cheol was able to notice quite a few things.
chuck.
Woo Jin-cheol adjusted his sunglasses again and calmly opened his mouth.
“Secretary Jeong.”
“Yes, yes.”
He handed the tablet back to Secretary Jeong, who was very nervous at his unusual appearance, and said,
“Could you please find one person from the list of hunters registered with our country’s association? “If there is any information related to it, I need everything, even the smallest details.”
“All right. But who… … .”
“Sung Suho.”
An old friend, a comrade in arms, and the only son of ‘him’ whom he respected and was anxiously waiting for.
At the mention of his name, Woo Jin-cheol had a somewhat empty but at the same time extremely relieved smile on his lips.
“I guess we’ve been away from home for too long.”
It seems like quite a lot has happened in the past few months.
