The Hunter System
Chapter 152 - Returning to Ancient Times
'What are the bald creatures planning to bring them all to Earth?'
["It looks like it. That may not be avoidable. Just think, what did he go here for? It's not their home planet, though,"]
["But that's just a possibility. Because if they bring these monsters to Earth, they know that humanity will be wiped out. I'm sure they don't want that to happen either."]
'What makes you think that?'
["Azazel once said that they only wanted to play games with humans and would save mankind if they wanted to worship them."]
'Fuck! Is that their only goal?!'
["That's what Azazel said. I don't know if they still have other goals. But, you can still face them."]
'10 Of them are as strong as one Ziz or Leviathan and they are thousands.'
["I mean the one below, not the giant flying creature."]
"It would still waste a lot of Mana energy if I had to finish them off" said Alvin who was finally able to speak with his mouth again as all the flying monsters were already far away from him.
["You're right. You can't even absorb their Mana cores. Let's continue the journey."]
"By the way, are they looking for me?"
["Maybe. Maybe the bald guy called them. He was in front of a monster's nest, right?"]
"That asshole... I should've tortured him longer."
["You shouldn't have killed him. We can't even go home, can we?"]
"Who was yelling gave me the zeal to torture and kill him?!"
["..."] <...>
But, Alvin and Mina's conjecture turned out to be inaccurate. As the two had already circled the planet in a straight line, they met the monster army again which seemed to only go around in one straight line as well.
"What are they really doing? Are they rotating?"
["I'm not sure. Let's wait for them to spin around the planet for one more spin."]
"Yes? But, I feel like my health point has already begun to be disrupted by the poison on this planet."
["Then have you found a way to get back to Earth?"]
"..."
["Well, let's go around the planet again from a different direction. We'll probably meet them here again if I'm right."]
"...All right, main character."
["...Don't be so frustrated. Just accept the situation."]
"You're f**k!"
After Alvin completed one more round, he and Mina finally discovered 2 big differences between monster planets and Earth, as well as the amazing things that the monsters were doing.
The first, after Rimi was commissioned by Mina to observe the state of the planet manually, they learned that the planet's rotation was very slow compared to Earth's rotation. One day on the planet is equal to 18 days on Earth.
Second, they found no sea or river there. There is no water on the planet.
Alvin can also survive thirst and hunger because he has a huge Mana energy capacity so he can survive. It also allowed the monsters to survive. They had an enormous Mana energy.
Third, the monsters are not the origin of rotation by circling their planet. Each time they completed one round, their Mana energy capacity would increase. They become stronger each time they complete one round around the planet.
"Did they gain power by absorbing the poison that the planet produced?"
["After I was amazed, it was like that and it was the opposite of you being an alien here. Each time you flicker 1 round, the poison absorbed into your body becomes many times more than if you just stay still."]
["Who else can be used as an experimental material other than yourself?"]
"You..."
["F**."]
"..."
["..."]
"You're right. Let's investigate the cave the bald guy came to."
.........
Alvin went to the big cave that Scamra had been to. Unfortunately, he did not find any clues there.
The cave turned out to be just a place where Scamra tried to raise a statue of the land by utilizing the unique magic of the monster planet.
After days of searching for a way to return home to Earth and not get results, Alvin finally decides to fight with the monsters that are on the planet, which is, just to vent his frustration and want to make a mess.
Who knows, according to him, they will send it back to Earth if they feel disturbed by its existence.
...****************...
On Earth, six months have passed since Alvin disappeared.
During that time, 5 major cities on one island began to experience destruction after an army of monsters invaded them.
They were the lich monsters that came with the Alcamtar.
The creature opened hundreds of Dungeon gates and brought its troops to destabilize the five cities on the large island.
Because of the attack, T City was already barely shaped anymore. The once highly developed city under Lex Brown is like a dead city left behind to hide in the bunkers that the Association and Government provide.
The same thing happened in S. The magnificent buildings that once filled the city center are now only left with debris. In fact, the Association building that actually has many hunters also did not escape destruction.
There was only one place that could still survive in City S. A place that for 6 months was not successfully penetrated by the lich troops. That place was none other than the Maxwell family fortress that Cyntia and the hunters defended very well.
There were also Association hunters escaping from the rampage of monsters gathered.
With its geographical structure and highly supportive fortifications, the Maxwell family fortress is now the only place for the remaining S City hunters to gather, survive, and take refuge.
.........
"How about, Mr Frostman?" sam asked impatiently after he directly picked up and opened the gate of the fort for Lowe Frostman who had just returned from City A to ask for help.
Sam actually did not really expect when he saw Lowe returned alone as he departed. The allegation was immediately justified by Lowe with a bitter smile and his head.
"Nobody can help us, Sam."
"Did they refuse to help? What about your subordinates who were there?"
Lowe let out a long breath. He watched the hunters of the wall guards who were lighting torches to welcome the coming of the night with sadness.
When he left the fort a month ago, even though City S was cut off from the internet, there was at least electricity there.
Only after one month, S City was truly like it had returned to antiquity. They do not have internet, electricity, even for cooking, they now have to rely on firewood.
Actually the same thing happened to 4 other cities on the island. They have really gone back to antiquity, before modern tools were invented.
