Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 83

083. Dimension Invasion (2)

Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.

It is one of Tokyo’s three major sub-centers and is also called the largest sub-center….

Currently, Shinjuku-ku does not pass by a single person on the street as if it were a lie that it was called Tokyo’s largest sub-center.

It was worth it.

This is because a gate generation wave that is so large that all Japanese A-class hunters gather in Shinjuku is currently detected.

All ordinary citizens were evacuated, and in the center of Shinjuku, there were only seven A-class hunters waiting for a gate to occur in Shinjuku.

Among them, Ozuchi Kunishi, who had just been recognized as an A-rank hunter in Japan, felt annoyed.

“Why is there a gate in Shinjuku?”

He was an A-class hunter, with only 10 people in Japan, and now he had to enter the dungeon and slaughter monsters while attacking the dungeon.

However, he was here because of the gate generation wave detected in Shinjuku.

‘Really, whenever this happens, I realize that Japan is a weak hunter country.’

The current wave of gate generation detected in Shinjuku, Tokyo could be solved by one S-class hunter.

Judging from the detected gate wavelength, the level of the gate to be generated would be only about class A.

Even if the country calls for hunters, it means that it is not an agenda that needs to be dealt with by calling in so many A-class hunters.

However, Japan had to call so many hunters to deal with the gate.

The cause was not in the justification of pretending to be correct every word of the matter, saying that Shinjuku, with its large floating population, should be dealt with quickly and reliably, but elsewhere.

This is because there is currently only one Hunter that has exceeded Class A in Japan.

Even one of them is raiding the dungeon in hopes of obtaining useful equipment.

Because of that, A-class hunters from all over Japan, including Ozuchi Kunishi, gathered in Shinjuku.

In order to cope with this situation where there is only one Japanese S-class hunter absent.

So, Ozuchi Kunishi had no choice but to be dissatisfied.

‘If it was Korea or the United States, I would have called in one S-class hunter and dealt with it instead of gathering A-class hunters like this.’

As he recalled that fact, Ozuchi Kunishi felt a sense of displeasure rising up.

It seemed that the other hunters nearby were no different, so their mouths also poured lamentation.

“Fuck! Seriously, why are there so many gates in Japan when there aren’t that many hunters?”

“If you’re going to treat an A-rank hunter like this, I’d rather give you a lot of allowances and save money unnecessarily.”

“It’s okay. Has the Japan Hunter Association ever done anything good? It is a fucking country.”

They were all led like dogs all the way to Shinjuku for meager pay.

By a word from the Japanese government that all hunters must follow the national law.

So it was inevitable that there would be dissatisfaction.

But that was only for a moment.

Whoops!

Soon, a blue crack begins to appear in the middle of the streets of Shinjuku.

“You fucking dog…! It’s a crack! Prepare for battle!”

Hunters grumbling on the street changed their momentum and prepared for battle.

They were veteran hunters who had faithfully accumulated combat experience as well as strength enough to rise to the level of an A-class hunter even if they were dissatisfied.

As such, the hunters, including Ozuchi Kunishi, quickly adjusted their posture and glared at the gate.

“…what?”

No matter how much I stared at the blue crack, the monster did not come out.

Originally, in a gate that was just created, a monster at the entrance of the dungeon would appear.

It was even more so in the case of an unexpected gate that appeared suddenly with a high rating like this time.

But, let alone a monster, not even a baby ant came out?

“Hey, I think this is a bit strange…”

It was the moment Ozuchi Kunishi opened his mouth, feeling a strong sense of difference.

“Why are there so many bugs twisted around?”

From beyond the gate, a muffled echo sounded in his ears as if he was speaking to heaven and earth.

Soon, a pretty young man in a blue uniform walked out of the gate, where nothing appeared.

A curved sword worn around the right waist or a dragon pattern engraved with golden thread on the blue uniform.

In addition to that, the neatly tied back ponytail suggested that the young man was not an ordinary person.

The young man stared at Ozuchi Kunishi as if he were looking at a bug.

Then he scratched his chin with his left hand and frowned as if he didn’t understand.

“Didn’t the Confucius you saw just ask? Why are there so many worms?”

Could it be because of his absurdly arrogant tone, as if he were really talking to a bug?

Soon, the people who were so taken aback by the fact that someone came out of the gate, and couldn’t even say a word, regained their senses and put on a bewildered expression.

And soon, the Hunter behind Ozuchi Kunishi squinted his eyes and shouted in an angry voice.

“…ha? What are you talking about? Hey, stop talking nonsense and explain why you came out of there.”

And that was the Hunter’s last voice.

Kwajijik!

Ozuchi Kunishi heard the sound of something being crushed and at the same time noticed that hot liquid had been smeared on his back.

It took a few seconds to find out that it was the blood that splattered when the head of the hunter who had just been talking was crushed.

Daldaldal….

Just like paint dropped into a glass of water slowly spreads its color.

Starting from the blood-soaked back, the whole body begins to tremble like an aspen tree.

Ozuchi Kunishi immediately figured out why.

Because this feeling was all too familiar to a hunter who was on the limb of a dungeon.

“….”

Fear (恐怖).

It was the feeling of a prey facing an infinitely powerful enemy.

Usually, a prey in front of a predator like this will show a total of three behaviors.

“This dog-like bastard dares to kill Shimura…! I will never forgive you…!”

The first is to deny the feeling of fear and attack the predator.

Kwajijik!

“Nonsense…! I don’t want to die! Buy and save…!”

The second is to flee from predators, dominated by fear.

Kwajijik!

“….”

The third is to give up life because you know how powerful a predator is.

“Now that I have only one left, it’s quieting down a bit.”

Ozuchi Kunishi was the third of these.

Now he wasn’t just shivering, his teeth were clattering together, showing extreme fear.

It had to be.

The young man who appeared in front of him killed all the hunters behind Ozuchi Kunishi in an instant.

Ozuchi Kunishi had never seen the young man move.

He didn’t even know why the hunter standing behind him had his head crushed and died.

I don’t know if he used the sword on his waist or killed him through another skill.

He only noticed it belatedly by the sound of a corpse falling behind his back.

Six of the seven A-rank hunters gathered in Shinjuku were all dead within a few minutes.

“Now that there is only one worm left, I will politely ask the Confucius who saw it.”

The young man smiled mildly, as if he had changed his mind and used his courtesy.

“Tell the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”

Soon, a predator wearing a human mask that could never be resisted made a request to Ozuchi Kunishi.

“The Changcheon Sword Dragon, Namgung-hyeok, came to avenge Baek Seon-hak.”

Bring new food.

***

After purchasing the Hearthstone, I immediately took out a large amount of items from my inventory.

In the ordeal on the 10th floor, I had to kill Kim Seung-jun and dispose of the stolen items in a pile.

In addition, there was a need to confirm the ability of some newly acquired items.

As such, I activated Hearthstone with all items to be disposed of and items to be checked.

Then…

before I knew it, I was not in the tower’s waiting room, but in a different space.

「I returned to the residence of challenger Han Seong-yoon.」

It was nothing other than the studio where I lived.

“You’ve finally returned.”

It was already the third return, so the feeling of returning now was not unfamiliar.

I stood up from the bed and smiled bitterly at the items scattered around me.

Looking at dozens of items, it was difficult to know where to start and how to organize them.

“I’m going to take a while to clean this up.”

Originally, this item had to be disposed of separately rather than just cleaned up, so I would have to look at the performance and find out the market price one by one.

That was the days when I was a hunter with no affiliation, and now I enjoy a high degree of freedom in the Silver Guild and receive all the benefits.

It means that the time when you have to bother to solve everything yourself has passed.

‘I can contact Lee Ha-yeon and ask her to prepare to dispose of items in bulk.’

I found my phone in the messy pile of items and turned it on.

And soon, when the screen of the smartphone turned on, I couldn’t help but be astonished.

because-.

[There are a total of 132 missed calls.]

[There are a total of 87 unchecked messages.]

This is because the smartphone informed me that there were countless calls while I was away.

“What is this again…”

frowned and checked the sender of missed calls and texts hastily.

And soon I knew right away who was looking for me.

“Lee Ha-yeon?”

There were some unknown phone numbers, but most of them were filled with information about Lee Ha-yeon’s contact with me.

Even that was the contact that started from yesterday.

In other words, it means that an urgent situation has occurred enough to find me in that short time.

In response, I quickly began to check the text message Lee Ha-yeon sent.

[Lee Ha-yeon: Seong-yoon, are you still in the tower?]

[Lee Ha-yeon: Currently, the Hunter Association has asked to assemble all challengers of hard difficulty.]

[Lee Ha-yeon: Almost all guilds are forcibly sending out contracted challengers.]

[ Lee Ha-yeon: If you don’t assemble, you may be caught in violation of the law, so I think it would be better for Seong-yoon to come too.] The

Hunter Association is gathering all the challengers of hard difficulty?

It was difficult to understand, but soon I was able to recognize the seriousness of the situation by looking at the letters below it.

[Lee Ha-yeon: …Please contact me as soon as you get back from the tower. It’s a really urgent matter.]

[Lee Ha-yeon: It is said that the content is related to the challenger of the other world, but it is said to be top secret.]

[Lee Ha-yeon: It seems that a big incident occurred in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan.]

What kind of incident related to the challenger of the other world occurred? It looks like

However, the challengers of the other world are those who mainly use hierarchy intrusion inside the tower.

But why is it related to Shinjuku Ward in Tokyo, Japan?

The moment I questioned him, a flash of light passed through my head.

“Could it be because the dimension shift function is activated?”

Arriving at the waiting room on the 11th floor, I recalled the message that the system had been expanded.

―’Dimensional Movement’ will be created in the shop category.

―Movement between dimensions becomes possible.

It was.

Movement between dimensions was not necessarily from Earth to another dimension.

It means that people from worlds like Ares, Murim, or Qalian can come over to Earth.

As soon as I reached that point, I immediately called Lee Ha-yeon without reading the text.

Fortunately, the call to Lee Ha-yeon was heard within seconds.

―…Seongyoon Han? Have you finally returned?

His voice was full of fatigue, but it conveyed a faint sense of relief.

I responded quickly to her.

“That’s right. I have just returned.”

―Haha, I don’t know how to explain this from where to how far…

“A challenger from the other world must have appeared in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.”

―How did you find out about that!? Even the Hunter Association said this was top-secret information!?

“It doesn’t really matter. You can start with the main point.”

―…That’s right. To begin with, the Hunter Association gathered all the hard difficulty challengers in Korea.

“Why?”

―The Korean Hunter Association also decided to prepare for the Shinjuku incident, and the Japanese Hunter Association requested help from the Korean side.

“…?”

―Currently, there are still challengers from the other world staying in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

“Are you saying you couldn’t kill the challenger from the other world?”

―As you know, Japan is a weak hunter country. A country where there is only one S-rank hunter and only 40 A-rank hunters.

“…”

―However, the challenger from the other world that appeared in Shinjuku killed six A-rank hunters who were there in a matter of seconds and sent only one alive.

Therefore, the Japanese side requested help from the outside because of the extreme power difference.

But there were parts I didn’t understand.

“Then why did you gather the challengers when you can dispatch Korean S-class hunters?”

―That’s the really important part. A challenger from another world who appeared in Shinjuku saved one A-rank hunter and sent it with a message attached.

“…?”

―The survivor said that he asked to bring a Korean challenger whose name he did not know, and he said this.

After catching her breath through the screen, Lee Ha-yeon continued.

Hearing her words brought out soon, I couldn’t help but be shocked as if my heart would stop.

―The Changcheon Sword Dragon, Namgung-hyeok, came to avenge Baek Seon-hak’s enemies.

Changcheon Sword Dragon Namgunghyeok.

The Murim world challenger that the iron-blooded lord warned of came to Earth instead of the tower.
