Leveling
Ch 161-162

Ch 161s

The Guild Chairman told the Republic of Korea representative to come to Gates Rank-C.When Woo Jin-cheol was first contacted, he was in no mood.

He was thinking of dispatching an offensive team consisting of high-level Hunters.

But after hearing the next explanation, he couldn't help but take action.

"Sung Jin Woo got into the Double Dungeon?"

The Double Dungeon itself is interesting, but realizes that Sung Jin Woo is in it

even more stressful.

‘Not just Hunters! How many Guildmasters could gather after hearing

these words?'

At the meeting, Woo Jin-cheol, the head of the department said,

"I desperately need support.Delay all the Raid that is being prepared and

quickly gather the elite Hunter".

“We received a request for support from the association.I think we should answer it"

From the experience of the Hunters, they knew how unusual such requests were

this and they started to respond.

"Do I need to explain more of the reasons why I gathered a rank Hunter

high?"

However, the commotion continued to occur even greater than when the Hunters saw the news

on TV about the events that are happening in Japan.

"What's going on?"

As the vice Guildmaster, Cha Hae-in asked Choi Jong-in.

Choi Jong-in then replied while turning around.

And looked back at Cha Hae-in.

"It looks like a Duoble Dungeon has been found inside Gates Rank-C"

‘Duoble Dungeon?’

Cha Hae-in tilts her head.

Of course, the Double Dungeon was not unusual in appearing.

Dungeon in a Dungeon.

It was a rare event.

But only the emergence of one Double Dungeon attached to Gates Rank-C and

calling the Guild Hunters?

Doesn't that make no sense.

Choi Jong-In then continues his words to Cha Hae-in, who looks confused.

“It looks like Hunter Sung Jin Woo fought alone in it.Because that's Woo Jin-cheol

fear and ask for our cooperation ... Cha Hae-in, what's the matter?"

When Choi Jong-in saw the sudden change in Cha Hae-in's eyes, Choe asked.

"Nothing"

"Okay, that's why he is, everything will be fine, but let's go over there"

Shut -

Cha Hae-in said that and the Hunters were listening to the conversation as well

quickly start packing.

It was a preparation that he could not ignore, even though he had to use

weapons for Raid.

"Huh? One person disappeared .."

Someone patted Choi on the shoulder, trying to count the number of members.

Choi turned around and the man pointed to a corner of the room with a chin movement.

There was a man sitting with a stunned face.

"Suzuki's"

"We're going to go"

"Well.."

The hunter was then scolded.

The Suzuki was recently built and moved to Korea from Japan.

It's only natural that he can't take his eyes off his cell phone, with news from his country

emanating.

"We have to do our job.Let's go"

"Ah yes"

They left Suzuki and got into the Hunter's Guild van.

With all the elite Hunters in it, the Hunters' vehicles leave the scene

one by one and quickly headed for their destination.

* * *

""Oh wow!""

Kim was shocked and dropped his cigarette butts.

The bottom was the pavement, but there was a hot feeling on his feet that touched the butts.

But.

Now is not the time to worry about cigarette butts.

Kim's eyes turned to stop the car again.

All the figures he saw were familiar, and weren't they the elites of the Hunter Guild?

He even saw Guild Hunter's ace.

Cha Hae-in, Yoon Jung-ho, what? Son Kee-hoon is also here.

It was no exaggeration to say that all the special members of the Hunter Guild were

it is gathering right now.

Kim never thought that all these great people would show up in a place where

she follows Woo Jin-cheol.

This is just Gates Rank-C

Gulp -

Kim gulped.

He didn't know what was going on inside.

And thanks to a word that says:

'If you don't mind, you can calm your heart against cigarettes"

Currently there are many cigarette butts piling up underneath.

Woo Jin-cheol quickly approaches Choi Jong-In without looking into Kim's eyes

not happy.

And Choi fails to take his eyes off Gates like Woo Jin-cheol did

preceding.

"Damn it...! Shit...! Whatisit? "

That Gates had an ominous aura of such proportions that

making Choi Jong-in take a lot of curses out of his mouth.

Unlike Woo Jin-cheol, who is excellent as a battle type, the current Hunter

appearing is the strongest Hunter Class Mage in Korea.

And Woo feels that Baek Yoon-ho, who has 'Beast Eye' eyes is the best

to feel magic, it is best not to compare with Sung Jin Woo.

"Are you ready?"

Woo Jin-cheol asked.

Choi Jong-In felt that the question also implied the question 'is that impossible?'.

He then replied with a bitter look.

"I heard Sung Jin Woo was inside"

"Yes, he's there"

Nod - Nod - Nod

Chong Jong-in made up his mind.

Let's do.

Who else could fight like this?

No, who can stop a strong enough opponent who can radiate

where is it like this?

"Are you going to save the earth alone?"

The words Chong was thinking came out of his mouth.

However, instead of asking again, Woo nodded with a heavy expression.

Isn't that really a story?

"Whether we can or not, we still have to go, because we are indebted

to Sung Jin Woo"

If Sung Jin Woo and the Hunter's Guild can't stop him, then there's no one in

Korea can stop him.

In other words, there's no second chance if you can't help Sung Jin Woo

and kill the monsters inside.

'What? Sung Jin Woo?’

Kim's ears, hearing from afar, moved like rabbits.

'Sung Jin Woo is inside this Gates?'

His gaze then turned to Gates and looked around again.

It was already a rare sight to see two S-Rank Hunters together

with multiple Rank-A Hunters in one place.

But is there an addition of Sung Jin Woo who is a Rank-S Hunter also inside Gates?

'Ca ... note, note'

When the scent of an exclusive tale reaches his nose, Kim quickly writes it in

his notebook.

From now on, not a single word, and not a single scene would be omitted.

While everyone is fascinated by the events in Japan, there is an opportunity to

reporting a major incident involving three Rank-S Hunters and the Hunter Association.

'It seems this is the reason why Woo Jin-cheol closed his mouth earlier’

Hunter Sung Jin Woo is a key figure under special supervision by the Hunter Association.

Now I understand why Woo Jin-cheol wouldn't reveal anything about

that situation.

While Woo Jin-cheol and Choi Jong-in are having a short talk, all the elite attacking teams

it was done with their preparations.

Tanks have defensive gear, attackers carry weapons and healers wear

which equipment.

The best Guild members naturally showed high standards and the preparations were quick.

Choi Jong-In faced Cha Hae-in for a moment and nodded.

Cha Hea-in also checked the Raid team and nodded.

That means the preparation and inspection have been completed.

And for the elite Hunter from the surveillance department, they've long been ready.

Woo Jin-cheol, who was informed by his subordinates, turned around with a heavy face.

And said.

"Let's go"

* * *

The road is very long.

They were going as fast as they could, but they were not running.

Even a high-running Hunter would not have the same speed.

And among them, Cha Hae-in is the fastest.

As he tried to run faster, Choi Jong-In, who was in front, held him back.

"Cha Hae-in, what are you going to do yourself?"

".."

He knows he's trying to save Sung Jin Woo from a crisis, but if he's too pushy, he's trying to,

everyone can be in danger.

"If we try to follow Cha Hae-in, the whole team could be in danger"

Cha Hae-in, who is standing with a firm face, returns to Woo Jin-cheol.

He looked at her and muttered to himself:

"The rumors are true"

"What did you say?"

Woo Jin-cheol did not answer his question.

"Oh, there's nothing."

Choi Jong-in tilts his head and looks back.

A terrifying aura of magic power came from deep within the Dungeon.

They should be careful.

And the same goes for Sung Jin Woo, who came in here first, Choi Jong-In thought.

"I hope it's not too late"

Now there is no way to help her except to pray for Jin Woo's safety

and move as fast as possible without delay.

But too much tension sometimes makes the body become dull.

Choi then talks to Woo Jin-chol to calm down.

"How did Sung Jin Woo get in here?"

"I don't know the details, but when we synthesize the opinions of those who

reporting it, Sung Jin Woo said he seemed to know that this was a Doubel Dungeon

before he came in"

"Huh"

Upon seeing Choi Jung-in startled, Woo Jin-cheol asks a question.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"No ... It's weird"

"Any?"

"I've been looking for Sung Jin Woo's info myself"

Choi Jong-In is the master of a guild.

It is natural for him to show great interest in Jin Woo, who needs to join forces with

Guild with high-ranking members.

"And this has happened before"

Woo Jin-cheol is well aware of this, as he is the one investigating the incident.

He had a premonition of what Choi Jong-In would say.

Sung Jin Woo was inside the Double Dungeon half a year ago.

And now that time had passed, he returned to find the Double Dungeon.

It's no coincidence for those who know the truth.

Choi Jong-In mentioned the story at this time, as Woo Jin-cheol expected.

"Two times were inside the Double Dungeon which was a difficult place to be

survival, not to mention in one of these places, he's alone.Isn't that weird?"

Woo Jin-cheol did not answer.

As Choi Jong-In said, many things are not clear.

Double Dungeon, Resurrection, and unique abilities.

One thing for sure, however, was that he needed an association, anyway,

not the Republic of Korea.

As soon as he found Gates, Sung Jin Woo would definitely directly ask for the Association's permission.

Sung Jin Woo's life must be saved at all costs.

Questions can be asked later when everyone is safe.

Woo Jin-cheol, who is in a desperate condition, then looks up.

'Prime ... '

Generally the Hunter must walk about an hour to reach a place that has been

reached by a high-speed Hunter in less than 10 minutes.

And at this moment they saw the end of the cave from a distance.

"It looks like we've arrived"

"I can feel it"

Something terrible.

The face of Choi Jong-In who spoke last was stiff as a rock.

Fortunately, where Sung Jin Woo can still feel.

'It's okay if Sung Jin Woo is safe’

If he had the strength and support of an elite Hunter, there would be no crisis

care what kind of monster lurks inside here.

Choi Jong-In then shouted with confidence.

"Speed up"

The elite Hunters of the Hunter's Guild and Association then walked through the large gate.

And - and

What awaited them was a scene that was unfamiliar to them.

"This ... this ..."

"What is he doing here?"

Countless stone statues were destroyed on the floor.

The remains of the statue are scattered there.

"Well, that's it!"

One of the Hunters raised his hand.

He pointed at a giant-sized statue that stood still with

his clenched fist.

His head, with his face half missing, was clearly visible.

Woo Jin-cheol, who heard the testimony of the surviving team from the Double Dungeon earlier, hears the,

being very hit.

"There ... The statue ... and the statue is alive ...!"

The survivors are very sure.

There was a monster statue that could melt a Rank-C Hunter with its eyes,

and stone statues whose movements were faster than the eyes could follow.

Indeed, the traces of the fierce battle remained there as the victims described.

This is in accordance with what they say.

What about Sung Jin Woo?

All enemies defeated.

What matters is Sung Jin Woo's condition.

Choi Jong-In looks around and finally finds Jin Woo.

"Frank"

Under the fist of the statue, Jin Woo lay quietly as if he was sleeping.

"Jin Woo!"

The Hunters try to run to him, but Cha Hae-in opens both of her hands

to prevent them from moving.

Woo Jin-cheol who becomes impatient, looks at him.

His eyes were dripping with sweat.

"Cha ... A hunter? "

Cha Hae-in bit her lip and said:

"There's something there"

later then.

One of the statues sitting on his knees beside Jin Woo slowly lifted his body.

His wings were torn and only one arm remained.

"I don't remember ever inviting a human"

Those were the words of the angel statue that stood up completely and stared at the Hunters

who just came in.

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

Ch 162s

Uh.."

They're speechless.

There is no way to describe what they are seeing right now.

Choi Jong-in also lost his word.

And he's sure.

The flame he felt before entering the Gates came from the current statue

it's in front of him now.

The mana of the statue looked so terrifying that it seemed as if the space around it was twisted

because it's.

Cho Jong-in shivers even though he's looking from afar.

His eyes then suddenly turned to Jin Woo who was next to the statue, Jin Woo still

unconscious.

'What, Sung Jin Woo fought with him?'

No wonder.

If the monster was his opponent, it was difficult to avoid this matter.

Instead, she is amazed at Jin Woo's ability to fight such a thing while

they destroyed all the statues around them.

But.

'Now we have to fight against that monster'

Sweat slowly dripped all over his body.

It was uncertain whether the enemy was a monster or not, but his strength was certain

more than the ant monsters he encountered on Jeju Island.

Tension choked her throat.

Looking back at his friends, Cha Hae-in and Woo Jin-cheol's reactions are not much different.

Both of them recognized the strength of the enemy and their faces turned pale.

Other hunters, on the other hand, were shocked in various ways.

They exchanged doubtful gazes, as they could not believe their eyes.

"He .. he speaks"

"I didn't just mishear, did I?"

"A monster who can talk?"

That was unthinkable.

It was a well-known fact that intelligent monsters had their own language.

widespread.

All of these attempts failed.

The reason is animal cruelty.

The longer they are held, the harder they fight and the harder it is to

keep them alive.

Even if his entire body was under control, they would try to attack humans

by tearing his flesh and breaking his bones.

Monsters and humans could never coexist and communication was impossible.

This is a general conclusion, reached by many scientists from all over the world who

studying monsters.

Anyways.

Don't you think that the monster speaks Korean as fluently as if it were

learned it from somewhere?

Monsters can talk to humans.

This was the appearance of a monster that would astound the century.

But no one is happy with that.

The Hunter's fear of the talking monsters was indescribable.

It was an instinctive warning that a high-class Hunter could feel.

As the statue stepped forward, the Hunters trembled and shook their heads.

The eyes of the angels turned left and right as if they were enjoying fear

and a scared face in front of him.

"You don't think you can get out of here alive, do you?"

"Ha ha"

The monster looked like it had found a good fruit.

Then he laughed.

Can monsters laugh like that?

In front of the awkward and estranged smile on the face of the angel statue, the Hunters became

stiff as a mouse in front of a snake.

'Let's stay calm'

Choi Jong-In gritted his teeth.

He cast his spell inside and signaled another Hunter

to prepare to attack.

While the Hunters were getting ready to fight, the angel tore off the arm

a stone statue located next to it.

Crunches!

'What does he want to do?’

'What?'

The astonished gazes of the Hunters did not last long.

The statue held his torn arm under his right shoulder.

Then the joint starts to stick like it's still alive.

'Ugh ...! ’

In the astonishment of the Hunters who witnessed it, the angelic statues moved

the regenerated right arm.

That time.

Cih -

The angel statue disappeared from view and appeared in front of the Hunters.

There is no time to react.

The statue of the angel waved his right hand as strongly as he could.

And the face of Hunter standing in front of him was shattered.

Puffs!

Hunter stepped back as his face was about to be attacked.

The nearby Hunters tried to fight back quickly, but he had already disappeared.

"Where..."

"That"

Place earlier.

The statue stood where it was before, as if it had not moved from the start.

Just like before moving, his new right fingers clenched.

It was as if he was testing his hand to see if it was working properly

or didn't.

"Myung Chul Ah"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

The screams of the Hunters came out late, as they shouted the name of a Hunter

was killed.

It was instant death.

The Rank-A Tanker of the nation's top-ranked Guild was killed by a single blow.

Strong tremors hit Choi Jong-in who was watching the angel statue.

'Hunter Sung Jin Woo fought alone with this man ...? '

He reflected on the group's inability to resolve this entire situation

rather than the pain of losing a co-worker.

But.

Not everyone makes cold judgments.

"You're a bitch"

A Hunter, who is in a romantic relationship with a dead Hunter, screams.

Both of his hands were clad in a burning flame.

'No!'

Choi Jong-in's face hardened.

At a time when there was still no plan to deal with angels, it was unwise

to provoke an unmoving target.

Didn't you just confirm the enemy's movements with your eyes?

The team could have been annihilated due to a surprise attack.

"Stop"

But unlike Choi Jong-in's words, the casting Hunter was over and a fireball

red leaves his hand.

But, someone was fast enough to be able to catch his wrist.

The hunter then turned around with an angry face.

It was Cha Hae-in.

He waved his hand and raised his voice.

"Let me go"

"Sister, I have to reply now"

"Let go of my hand!"

"You have to be patient"

Cha Hae-in powers the hand that holds the wrist

and made her unable to move and then opened her eyes.

"Because I saw it too ..."

The Hunter's struggle was stopped by Cha Hea-in's hard face.

Hunter knows.

He wasn't stupid enough not to know that running away like this wasn't going to help him.

He just can't stand it.

A loved one was killed horribly and he could do nothing about it.

Hunter, who gave up, sobbed low.

"Ugh ..."

When the sobbing Hunter removes her spell, Cha Hae-in gently

let go of his grip and looked at Jin Woo in the distance.

He bit his lower lip.

He wanted to run closer to her even now.

He was also not the only one who was impatient like the previous Hunter.

Looking at the situation objectively, Jin Woo was the one who was in the most situation

dangerous at the moment.

There was a monster with strong power next to him and he was unconscious.

It was just like a lantern that was in front of the wind.

If the monster wants to, he can kill Jin Woo at any time.

But.

Somehow the monster seems to have no intention of attacking Jin Woo.

And Jin Woo's condition doesn't look that bad either.

He just looked like he was sleeping.

There was nothing strange if he opened his eyes again.

So for now, take as much time as possible until Jin Woo wakes up.

That's the best plan.

later then.

The statue, which was moving, laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha"

The empty room echoed with the voice of an angel.

After a short laugh.

The angel's eyes turned towards the Hunters.

"Nobody can come back"

Thud-h!

The sound from behind encouraged the Hunters to look back.

"The door!"

The Hunters ran to the door and grabbed the handle and shook it.

Wh-bang!

However, the iron gate, which was tightly sealed, did not even flinch by force

High rank hunter.

The fact that the exit was blocked further dried up the Hunters' throats.

It's like the last battle.

The Hunters turned to the angels and gulped their dry saliva.

The angel smiled and opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

"Let's start easy"

The eyes of the angel who finished speaking began to redden.

"Light, light"

"Will he attack? "

The Hunters were ready to fight and strengthen the hands of those holding weapons.

If he's one ... If he's the only one, do we still have a chance?

There are over thirty of the best Hunters in the country here, and two of them are

Hunter Rank-S's.

Such a hopeful observation passed through the minds of the Hunters for a moment.

*Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum*

The noise was terrifying and the room continued to tremble.

"Oh no"

There was a shadow of despair on the face on Hunter.

Sounds are heard everywhere.

Broken stone statues.

The monsters that were considered to have been destroyed began to rise up one by one, as if waking up

from hibernation.

Those who have been beheaded, those who have holes in their hearts,

those whose limbs had been crushed, they were all moving.

However, there was one statue that was the worst and the only one that could be described from it

the statue is big.

The ground roared as a flying statue with one side of the face touched the ground and

lifting his huge body.

"...Oh my God"

The Hunters continued to look at the statue with the shattered face.

The statue and the other stone statues that raised their bodies stood as if

they haven't collapsed yet, and are facing the Hunters.

Their emotionless faces created an even stranger atmosphere.

The angel standing in the midst of them said to the hunters:

"Those who survive until all my dolls lose will have an honorable chance

to witness the birth of a King"

Woo Jin-cheol frowned.

'What is he talking about?'

He could not understand those words.

But he understood one thing clearly - the statue was trying to kill all the Hunters.

Therefore, he clenched his teeth.

Four years in the Association.

There were many crises, but he always survived.

Today too.

He had no intention of dying.

'If we can't get back to life ... '

At least Sung Jin Woo should.

This was the Double Dungeon that he had come to with certain intentions from the very beginning.

How can I save him?

Woo Jin-cheol, who looks at Jin Woo for a moment, suddenly stares at the creepy energy

that felt in his head.

As expected.

Red light gathered in the eyes of the huge statue.

Woo Jin-cheol who saw that turned back and yelled: 'Woo:

"Everyone's taking cover, now!"

Hunter then quickly ducked.

S-I-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-!

A sinister red light passed through their heads.

Jing

The light rays from the eyes of the statue then gradually reduced.

There are no victims.

It was a miracle because of Woo Jin-cheol's instructions and the Hunter's quick reaction.

'Hoo'

The angel statue looked at Hunter with interested eyes.

It was a great entertainment while waiting for the king to wake up.

"Huck, huck, huck"

Woo Jin-Cheol calms his breath.

Cold sweat appears.

Could it be that it could have been avoided if the person who survived the first Double Dungeon

not listing the ability of the statue?

Suddenly he was attacked.

And their report, the Hunyers managed to safely pass the first attack.

But this is not the end.

'That's just the beginning of’

Woo Jin-Cheol looks up.

The statues rushed to attack.

The speed of response required to deal with such a move can only be

achieved by a high-level Hunter team.

However, Woo Jin-Cheol is one of the best Rank-A Hunters.

He jumped up and twisted his back and waved his hand loudly.

His special gloves hit the face of the attacking statue.

Bang out!

Woo Jin-cheol's eyes get bigger.

'...?'

He thought one attack was enough.

But, the stone statue did not even have a scratch.

One of the shoulders of the statue was completely shattered by the attacks of a person and the

Hunter mistakenly thought this was a deadly blow to the statue.

However, if they remembered who the creator of the stone statue was, they should not

do calculations like that.

That was a clear mistake.

'Sial'

Wu Jin-cheol could feel an irreversible situation.

As he had expected, the slightly bent statue backwards quickly

recovered from the shock and grabbed the sword with his hand.

Hid.

Woo Jin-Cheol clicked his tongue inside.

There was no way to dodge the sword as he attacked with force

full of thoughtless how to defend against possible counterattacks.

The speed of the stone statue was quite high and its attack could not be avoided with

just moving to the side.

'This is the end'

When he tried to close his eyes with a tight heart.

Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A powerful explosion sent the statue to his side.

Wonggg - wongg

After being deaf for a while, Woo Jin-Cheil taps his ear and shakes his head.

Not long after, a voice came from his side.

"Are you okay?"

The person who blew up the statue was Choi Jong-in.

Thanks to him, Woo Jin-Cheol, escapes the crisis, nods and glances to thank him.

But he had no time to be silent.

The stone statues were close and held weapons.

"Mr Choi! These people cannot be underestimated"

The tanker in front shouted.

"What?"

Choi Jong-in's face stiffened.

If Taunting is unsuccessful, they will pursue the weakest Hunter by instinct.

If the Healer is killed, the Tanker will soon follow and without him defeat will soon occur,

they could not resist against such a huge enemy.

In addition to

The huge statue sitting behind the army was preparing to attack with

rocky hands from a crazy height.

I can't breathe.

'Can we survive this?'

The situation was hopeless.

"But there's one way"

There's a way to survive.

Before the Hunters got here, all the statues were destroyed.

No need to think about who that person is.

If Sung Jin Woo, who works alone to defeat the statues, the,

the one who had been defeated by the angel awakened, things had become different now.

There are dozens of prominent Hunters here who can help Jin Woo.

So.

'This is the only way'

There was a flame in Choi Jong-in's hand.

He's not called the last weapon for no reason.

With his precision and firepower, he was confident that he could compensate for the weapons

any advanced.

Or maybe not?

Choi Jong-in lost the fight against Jin Woo.

There may be some surprises, but Jin Woo will not be seriously injured by this level of spells.

If Sung Jin Woo regains consciousness after the explosion, there will be a glimmer of hope on their side.

'please...!'

The flame flew far towards its destination.

Meanwhile.

The angel statue appeared instantly and blocked the fire.

Ow!

Fire is burning in the angel's stomach.

'...!'

Choi Jong-in stares at the angel unexpectedly.

The angel's face wrinkled horribly to the point where it could no longer be distorted.

"How dare you ..."

The smiling statue shows its teeth for the first time.

"Are you trying to disturb the king's sleep?"
