Leveling
Ch 159-160s

The surveillance team arrived at the site.

Along with 7 powerful Hunters.

He had gathered all the best elites from the association who could mobilize now.

But.

Woo Jin-cheol knows.

Just this much power will not be enough to help Hunter Sung Jin Woo.

"But in the worst case ..."

The surveillance team can make time for him to step down.

Woo Jin-cheol then decides to go to the scene.

"Is that there? Chief?"

"I think so"

The surveillance team got out of the van and stepped into the schoolyard.

The Hunters are guarding Gates and waiting for the news to see the surveillance team that

they approached and their faces became bright.

"This is it.The superiors have arrived!"

The Guild Leader then ran to meet the scouting team.

But Woo Jin-cheol's gaze was still focused on Gates.

All because he felt an unbelievable aura.

Woo Jin-cheol looks back at his subordinates and gives orders.

"Let's hurry"

"Yes"

The supervisory team stepped in.

They crossed the playground and quickly reached the Gates.

Suddenly

Woo Jin-cheol stop.

"Head?"

"Senior?"

The subordinate steps that followed Woo Jin-cheol also stopped.

Woo Jin-cheol then carefully takes off his sunglasses.

And after that he was very surprised.

'This ... this ... '

Woo senses a terrible storm of mana from inside Gates.

It seemed that the space near the Gates was distorted by how ferocious the magic leaked out

from Gates.

Suddenly, he took a step back in surprise.

'Is this an optical illusion or a bad omen?'

At first, he saw a dark curtain hanging over Gates.

And the more he saw it, the clearer the shadow of death appeared.

The back of his head hurt.

Woo Jin-cheol instinctively knows.

No matter what happens there, it's not a place for them.

One of Woo Jin-cheol's subordinates was surprised to see his superior's face and asked, saying,

"Sir, are you okay?"

"..."

Instead of answering, Woo Jin-cheol asks a question instead.

"Is there a large guild waiting for Raid?"

His subordinate, who was looking for a while, then quickly replied.

"Yes.Guild Hunters is waiting for a Raid"

"Two Rank-S Hunters?"

"Choi Jong - in, and a second person, Cha Hae-in, both will be involved in the Raid"

Choi Jong - in and Cha Hae - in

Woo doesn't know if they can do it but he has to give it a try.

Woo Jin-cheol turned his gaze toward Gates again.

And the small tremors on his fingertips began to gradually spread throughout his body.

That's black.

Gulp-g

Woo Jin-cheol struggles to compose his quivering voice.

"Guild Hunters .. submit an urgent request for cooperation with them"

* * *

Jin Woo asked.

Instead of asking who the statue was, he asked who he really was.

And in that brief moment.

Jin Woo takes a moment to regain his original breath rhythm.

It was unbelievable that there was a fierce battle just a moment ago.

His shoulders, which were moving rhythmically, had also become calm.

[...]

The angel's answer seems to be delayed, and Jin Woo keeps pushing his dagger.

The dagger then pierced through the neck of the stone statue.

If it was human and had skin, it would definitely bleed.

The statue could not bleed, but there was no problem in cutting its neck like this.

'Does the Angel know that?'

Jin Woo continues to wait for answers from the angel's mouth.

...[.Now]...

It was an even stranger sound when he heard it up close.

...[.You've asked the right questions]...

Then the angel smiled.

Although some of his arms were cut off and the knife was under his chin,

there was no sign of fear in his eyes.

'Does he have a real body somewhere?'

However, Jin Woo's overwhelming spirit lacks the energy to figure that out.

If it really had a separate body somewhere else, he didn't even

you can imagine how high the technology will be.

Still with a smile on his face, the angel said.

...[.The answer is within you]...

'In me?’

Jin Woo's eyes narrowed as he wondered if he should hit her or not.

For a long time as a low-level Hunter, Jin Woo has faced many

a powerful enemy that can kill him.

It wasn't easy for a Rank-E Hunter, which was the lowest grade, to survive

for 4 years while exploring the Dungeon.

That may be because the taste is swept and polished across the boundaries of life and death some

times make it possible to always choose another path in the worst case.

That sharp feeling from the unexpected atmosphere.

As expected.

The ring!

Jin Woo then heard the familiar system sound, and it was a little louder than usual.

It was a woman's voice, unlike the voice of an angel.

...[.A lot of data stored in memory is being given]...

...[.Accept?] (Y/Y)...

Not only the sound, but also the message screen also appears.

Yes or no.

The Y and N messages began to blink slowly before Jin Woo's eyes as if it were a system

waiting for an answer.

'This is ... '

What else could he do?

Jin Woo's gaze moved from the message screen back to the angel.

The figure of the angel whose smile disappeared from his face suddenly said

with a face without emotion.

"I'll give you a choice"

Unlike before, the sound was different from the system.

It became a man's voice, which was loud, and not pleasant to swallow.

Jin Woo shut up.

‘Data saved in memory ..’

‘Did I save the file as it usually happens in the game?’

'And can I check that file now?"

‘...’

Over a long period of time, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

But the answer remains.

"Maybe I got a chance to check the truth for the first time,

but can't I get out of here?"

If this is a system trap, it doesn't have to go through this complicated process.

It is the authority of the system that can determine when Jin Woo's heart will stop.

‘As the angel said, if all this process is a test .

eligible to access data’

Before the fight began, the words of the angel statue ran through his mind.

“If you can still stand after the exam, I will tell you.That is the gift I gave you"

Maybe the gift means this access.

Jin Woo then reaches his decision.

Jin Woo's lips, who had made up his mind, slowly opened.

"...Yeah"

Suddenly darkness surrounded him.

Bell rings.

After the familiar machine voice hit his ear, the system voice began to speak.

...[.Data successfully imported]...

* * *

Jin Woo felt as if he had walked through a long tunnel

with infinite speed.

The darkness passed quickly and he reached the light that was in the distance.

After a brief flash of light.

Jin Woo groans inward at the scene that goes before and below him.

'Oh my God...'

It was an army with endless magic power.

From one end to the other.

Monsters covered the ground without any gaps.

What a terrible sight.

If the monster was ejected from Gates at once, the humans could only quietly wait

their deaths.

"Wait ... What is this place?"

It is definitely not Earth.

Above the plains are red-brown, where no vegetation is visible,

the strangely shaped long and thin stones stretched out toward the sky.

Landscaps are like alien planets Jin Woo has never seen before.

The only thing in sight is red-brown soil, rocks, and an army that

covering the entire ground.

Jin Woo then turned his gaze towards the monster.

High Orcs of Dungeons and lesser giants,«White Walkers» that can only

found in a high-level Dungeon.

Regardless of the grade and level, the crowd of monsters were looking up and

waiting something.

‘Where do they see? ’

Jin Woo's gaze also naturally turned upwards.

And he found it.

‘...! ’

There was a black lake floating high in the sky.

No, it's not a lake.

It was Gates who pointed down, so hard to imagine the scale, though,

jin Woo mistakenly thinks it's a big lake.

Black holes covered the purple sky.

"The purple sky ..."

Jin Woo is increasingly convinced that this isn't Earth, as he doesn't remember ever seeing colors

the sky is like that on Earth.

Something happened between the monster and Gates, not on earth.

Her saliva dripped.

The tension increases in proportion to the time that passes in silence

Gao-Oh

‘What will come out there?'

As Jin Woo set foot on the ground.

He expects the human army to come out.

But.

Good Lord!

Instead of humans, it was the silver-winged warrior soldiers with black wings

flocked to the cracked Gates entrance.

The soldiers wearing silver armor descended like angry clouds.

Just like the monsters covering the ground, this time the winged army covered the sky.

That's a ruler.

Jin Woo was impressed by the extension.

But the mind of the monster was different and when they saw the army filled the sky, the,

they started getting excited and fighting.

And there's no need to wait to know what's going to happen next.

It was war.

Shoot it!

The soldiers rushed down as the silver light began to glitter.

Gates himself has not just one.

There were several Gates, and the soldiers came to the battlefield through it.

The soldiers of the land and the soldiers of heaven!

The two groups were burning with hostility towards each other immediately

clashing on the ground.

It was a fight of great proportions.

Whoa!

The cries of the monsters shook the ground.

Bu Boo -

The silver soldiers blew out the majestic sounding horns.

His weapons then collided and his armor clashed.

The shout immediately became a groan, and the ground turned red.

Dominance quickly emerged.

The silver soldiers were strong.

They were the ones capable of destroying high Rank Hunters

and broke their necks without difficulty.

It was no wonder that such a group of monsters would be swept away so easily.

War is one-sided.

Nevertheless, Gates was still constantly pouring silver warriors.

Waves of silver warriors, which began to rise like a tsunami, erased the traces of monsters

remaining on the plains in an instant.

That's great!

Eek kie!

At first it was a war, but now it's just a massacre.

There was no mercy from the swords and spears of the soldiers, as Jin Woo felt

against monsters.

Thanks to that, the number of monsters had decreased very sharply.

As he watched the monstrous monster get swept away, Jin Woo felt a complex feeling

which he is not known.

'Do I feel sorry for the monster that the silver army killed,

or do I feel bad that the monster does not have enough power?'

But it's also a little chance.

Something amazing happened right after that.

When the monster's destruction isn't far away.

The warriors of heaven, who were chasing after the enemy with furore, began to stop moving one by one.

'Why?'

It crossed Jin Woo's mind.

No, that's not possible.

If he did, he wouldn't give strength to his hand

holding weapons.

The hand holding the weapon was currently shaking with force.

Especially the feeling on his face.

It was clearly an expression of fear.

The sight of the winged knight heading to one place.

And that's right behind Jin Woo.

Jin Woo has a strange feeling about this.

He could feel that something was happening right behind his back.

But Jin Woo's gaze did not point backwards, but downwards.

On ground.

A shadow spread across the red ground.

It spread rapidly through the reddish blood on the earth and the accumulated body.

Whenever it passed by, a shouting voice could be heard.

The screams of nothingness are heard.

Jin Woo has one skill, and it's very similar to this.

‘Area of Monarch ..’

Goosebumps ran past his back.

Jin Woo then slowly turned around and looked back.

Therehewas.

There was a knight armed with black armor from head to toe.

From the words of the riding knight, aura like a black spirit constantly radiated.

'Why?'

There was only one word that flashed through his mind when he saw it.

‘... Shadow Monarch’'s

Jin Woo felt a pressure pressing down on him.

The sky warriors and monsters whose minds were obsessed stopped breathing then

All eyes from the battlefield then gathered onto the Shadow Monarch.

[...]

The king, who was staring at the warrior in the sky, stepped forward with a hand that held something.

Suddenly.

The soldiers in the sky stepped back and away

Awe-inspiring silence touched the shoulders of all beings under the heavens.

And thereafter.

The solemn voice of the king broke the silence.

[Rise]

...----------------...

Ch 160s

Ba dum Ba dum

His heart is beating fast.

[Rise]

The giant ripples that started from that word spread at an insane speed and

cause shadows to appear.

There was a black wave on the battlefield that was dyed red with the blood of ferocious beasts.

Aaaargh!

The shadow soldiers that were sticking out of the ground then turned their black eyes at the enemy,

causing screaming and screaming.

No more fear of the enemy could be found in their eyes.

An alluring sight of this broke through the army in the sky that had to deal with

with these people now.

But the power of the Shadow of Monacrh did not stop there.

[Roll -!]

The king shouted loudly to the sky.

His roar shook the soul.

The heart, legs, and body were all shaking.

The ground was crying too.

And it didn't take long to figure out what the purpose of the scream was for.

All because of the shadow warriors who heard the attacking and resonating cries

with their weapons.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh!

With a single shout, the shadow warriors were transformed into completely different creatures.

From here to the horizon.

The dead monsters were transformed into Shadow Soldier's

Jin Woo, who witnessed the process from the beginning, felt the vibrations from Shadwo Soldier's roar.

Ba dum Ba dum

His heart was racing again.

If this is the pinnacle of 『Shadow Monarch』's capabilities, Jin Woo realizes

how many things he had to fix from now on.

At last.

The soldiers in the sky, who had paused for a moment, started moving again.

The silver soldiers gathered together and rushed towards the black soldiers

like a swarm of bees.

But the newborn Shadows were not as easy to handle as before.

Their weapons clashed.

Army versus army.

Silver soldiers and black soldiers were dragged into the fight on the ground.

The roar exploded and the ground shook.

The battle that was supposed to end with the massacre became a war between

2 Great sides.

Just the appearance of one person has changed everything.

It was a terrible power.

Jin Woo doesn't know why this scene was shown to him, but he can't divert

his view for a moment.

Boom-oom!

It was an incomparable fierce battle with the first battle.

When their lives are in danger, the shadow warriors are unable to cope with the warrior

heaven shows no signs of fear.

Yet.

The real fear of the shadow soldiers was not their momentum or combat power.

The soldiers in the sky were fighting the Shadow army with strong strength and solidity

the incredible.

The courage of the shadow soldier, who dies, does not exceed the gap of his leader's power.

The battle advantage seemed to be taken by the heavenly warriors.

However, the shadow army always regained its original form as soon as it was destroyed.

It's great!

A shadow soldier pierced through the shield held by a celestial warrior

then twisting his limbs and causing a scream.

The heavenly warrior who sensed victory pulled the sword from his waist, and flew away

the shadow warrior's head.

Splats!

But right after his head came off.

‘...! ’

The shadow soldier's head and neck were all turned into smoke, and then from

back, they merge into one more piece.

When the warrior of heaven gasped, the shadow warrior stabbed the enemy's chest with his sword.

Crunches!

The sword pierced through his shirt, passed through it and pierced out from his back.

The army in the sky then fell down without strength.

Drop-outs

Jin Woo heard a majestic voice and lost the focus of the battlefield.

[Rise]

With instant.

The soldier in the sky found black smoke in his hands.

It was not death that came to him, but a new beginning.

His eyes turned black.

Surprised -

He saw his brothers wagging their shoulders as they

met his eyes.

But he knows what he has to do.

"Whoa, whoa!"

He gladly accepted his new destiny.

Jin Woo looked at the soldiers and the entire battlefield situation.

The battle of the heavenly warriors that flowed through Gates and the shadow warriors that were born

under the command of 『Shadow Monarch』 is astounding.

Soldiers flowed from Gates, as many as were killed, and shadows rose from the darkness

in the same way.

"Wouldn't it be like this if war was going to happen in hell?"

This terrible battle that no human could imagine took place on land

barren somewhere this.

However, the balance of the two seemingly equalized forces collapsed in an instant.

Immediately after the king, who commanded the corps, stepped in directly

into the battlefield, the air flow rapidly changed.

A black horse carrying the king entered the battlefield.

As he swung his sword, thousands of enemies collapsed and roars rose, and enemies were

die a shadow warrior without failure.

The enemy, flying in the sky, fell on the first strike of his hand and fell to the ground.

‘『Strength ruler 』..’

The king's seat swept out like a storm.

For the first time.

The soldiers who were at the very first moment far above the sky, were currently driven.

There were dozens, or millions of soldiers that filled the heavens and earth, but they could not stand it

facing one enemy.

Seeing that, Jin Woo could only sigh in relief.

He wanted the war to end this way.

Anyways.

When the Shadow army started pushing the heavenly corps, there was a breeze blowing

behind her.

And the cold instantly crept along his spine.

With the enemy ahead, the king turned around.

And there are two big Gates.

Its size was comparable to that floating in the sky.

Two groups of monsters poured out the two Gates.

On one side was a beast-shaped group led by a huge wolf that

it looks like it can move mountains.

And the other side is the Knights and soldiers who came with the family mark that

countless.

Jin Woo's eyes grow bigger when he sees the family sign.

"Eh ...?"

All the flags that appear, are known by Jin Woo.

Ricardo, Payotos, Locan, Ingresas, and Radisson.

‘... Eshil’

All of them are emblems belonging to the Devil's aristocracy he met when Jin Woo boarded

to the top of the Demon Castle.

"I wonder why the demons also appeared in this place?"

Monsters and demons had joined forces to attack the shadow army as if

they've made a deal before.

The shadow warrior began to tear from behind as a result of the clasps of the two corps

monster army.

But, that's not the end.

The soldiers of heaven, who have not yet fallen, are still alive.

They then returned to using offensive tactics.

The heaven warriors at the front and the two army corps at the back had surrounded the shadow army.

The tide of war is reversed again.

Ba dum Ba dum.

Jin Woo put his hand on his chest.

This time his heart hurt.

Jin Woo's gaze then slowly moved to the king who was next to him.

"Why?"

Jin Woo can feel her feelings.

Emotions were clearly conveyed like reading the hearts of shadow warriors.

The strong emotion boiling from within was anger.

No, it was anger that surpassed anger.

The shadow army was surrounded by their enemies and repeatedly destroyed

and be reborn.

At first glance, it seems like their resilience is infinite, but Jin Woo, the,

who can use the same ability, know the weakness of that skill.

"Only as long as you have mana ..."

When mana runs out, the army does not regenerate.

The soldiers could no longer fight.

Jin Woo can feel the power of mana king, which is so big that it is his size

unknowable, slowly beginning to thin out.

The king, who was heading to the corps of heaven, turned around.

The horse flew off the ground.

The battle was fierce.

There were mountains of bodies and rivers of blood flowing around them

gradually forming the ocean.

The fire of 'war' was created by so many warriors that it was difficult to count

all calculations have swallowed up all the life that stood on the ground.

But.

The terrible battle will slowly end.

Now there were not many left standing on the battlefield.

During the battle, the king, who lost his horse, stumbled upon two knights standing

in front of him and leaning against a long rock.

Gasping, he stood in front of the demon.

His face was covered with a helmet, but the king looked at him as if he knew his identity.

Today is the end of the fight with them.

"..."

"Why did you betray me?"

The devil who lowered his head in exhaustion, listened slowly.

His body was already severely injured and it seemed impossible to recover any more.

The sound coming out of the helmet almost broke.

"Really .. I'm sorry.I can do it today"

The king continued in a cold voice.

[I asked why.]

'ha ha ha'

The man, shaking his head and laughing, raised his head again.

And he answered.

"# $% # ^ #% #% @ $."

Jin Woo could not hear what he said.

"Did I miss it on purpose?"

No. gabe.

“@ $ ^ $ ##”

He could not understand anything even though he said something again.

But as soon as he heard his answer, it was as if it sounded different in the king's ear,

he stretched out his hand and pulled her closer.

The demon, whose throat was strangled, was groaning in pain.

'What?'

A creep!

The armor on my neck is distorted.

But the devil kept saying what he wanted to do until the end.

“...% ^ & # $ @% ^ &”

Hooks 

The king's thumb pierced the devil's throat.

In anger.

The devil spews blood.

It was then that Jin Woo found the demonic gaze staring at him.

How come!

The king was angry and released the devil's neck.

Dumps

The devil, who had already lost his life, was rolling on the floor.

"That's ridiculous"

Just looks like it.

Obviously Jin Woo had seen it once before.

But it's not possible.

Ba dum Ba dum

His heart is beating fast.

Jin Woo, who shook his head, approached the demon and carefully removed his helmet.

He had the same eyes as before he died.

How could I forget these eyes?

The helmet fell from Jin Woo's hands.

Tuk.

His bulging eyes were filled with a strong hatred.

They were the same eyes he had seen at the peak of the Demon Castle.

"King of the Devil ... What's?"

When she realizes that, Jin Woo realizes one more unusual thing.

A hand surrounded by black armor.

Feet, hand,dada.

From then on he moved the Shadow King's body.

ba-dump!

The heart beat becomes harder and reaches his eardrum.

Jin Woo raised his hand to his chest.

ba-dump!

Jin Woo's eyes grew bigger.

'Why ... Why didn't I realize it? '

He had been aware of the inner voice ever since he came out of the sacred temple.

But he didn't notice at all.

Jin Woo then moved his trembling hand to his right chest.

He felt a vibration.

One on the left.

And one on the right.

Ba dum Ba dum

Two hearts beating in unison.

As his shocked eyes looked down.

He looked at the four shadows that were slowly growing in size.

They're approaching from above.

Jin Woo then quickly looked up.

On top.

Four angels with six wings slowly descended.

The memory is there.

Ring ~!

The darkness came with the sound of a machine.

In the distant consciousness, a soft voice from the system is then heard.
