The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 106

Near the containment area in the middle of the night.
I carefully inspected the area in front of the barricade made by stacking buses and cars.
The first thing that caught my eye was a swarm of monsters.
The roads and buildings in the area were almost entirely in good condition.
It had only been 12 hours since the dungeon appeared, but it was already such a gruesome sight that it was hard to believe it was Seoul.
‘But a lot of the aggression has died down.’
I held my breath and looked at the monster carefully.
Since there were no targets for several hours, activity seemed to have decreased.
It was definitely a very appropriate decision to quickly seal off the area.
‘But… there are too many.’
At this level, as Choi Ho-seong said, it was certain that the area would be breached even before the operation team was assembled.
“The current regen speed is one per five minutes. “It’s been about 12 hours since they appeared, so there are probably about 144 of them in the area,”
a voice came from the walkie-talkie plugged into my ear.
“If there are more than 200 animals in the area of the containment area, the area will be completely saturated. If you roughly calculate it, we need to catch 50 before the operation team is called.”
“That’s a lot.”
“Can you do it alone? “Please call Yubin.”
“How long are you waiting?” “I just need to come out on my own.”
“…I guess it’s difficult,”
she continued, taking off her crane.
“Anyway, be careful. “If I’m not careful, all the monsters in the area might attack me.”
“I understand.”
I jumped over the barricade.
Grrrr-.
Several monsters nearby reacted immediately.
I put my backpack down on the floor without taking my eyes off the guys.
These weapons were hurriedly provided by Director Lee Ah-young.
Yes, they’re all C-level, but… I guess this is enough.
The first thing I did was take out my sword from my backpack.
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
As soon as they saw the weapon, monsters started rushing towards them.
Take a deep breath.

Soon, a blue light flashed on the sword.
[Acquired skill: Extreme herbivorous – Swordsmanship]
[Acquired skill: Destroyer]
Ugh-
Quagwagwang-!!!
When I lightly swung my sword, a powerful explosion exploded in front of me along with the sword strike.
“one.”
Soon, an ear-piercing roar echoed throughout the area.
***
Director Choi Ho-seong was lost in thought with his head wrapped.
He was a little pushy because he didn’t want to invite Kim Jun-woo, but the truth was that he wasn’t confident.
That’s because I’ve never been in charge of such a large-scale operation before.
But now that I can’t just bow my head…
I put the operations team on standby as I announced at the meeting.
All guilds that applied for the operation have also completed their convocation.
As a rough estimate, the total number of people is about 250.
Considering the operational area and the number of monsters, the number was still woefully insufficient… but what could you do?
I have no choice but to do it like this.
Now all that’s left is to go into that hell and proceed with the subjugation.
‘It’s almost time.’
As the time for the operation approached, Ho-seong Choi quickly stood up.
It was at that time when I left the office with a clearly tense expression on my face.
“Director Bo!”
Assistant Yoo Young-soo urgently visited Choi Ho-seong.
“what. what’s the matter. “Have there been any variables?”
“Should I call this a variable….”
“…?”
“The number of monsters in the area is decreasing.”
“…what?”
Assistant Youngsoo Yoo relayed exactly what he had just heard from the control team.
Director Choi Ho-seong’s eyebrows twitched.
“What do you mean? Why are the monsters decreasing? Could it be that other people are carrying out the subjugation?”
“It could be that freelancers are moving.”
“These crazy people… don’t they understand the situation…”
Director Choi Ho-seong clicked his tongue.
Even the headquarters operations team crawled into the retreated area. Are you so crazy about money that you don’t realize how precious your life is?
“Damn you bastards. “Move out all those on standby right now!”
“Well… how about you just leave it alone? If the monsters continue to decrease like this, we will be able to safely wait until the operation team is summoned…” “
If they do that and there are casualties, they will blame us for everything. What nonsense! No, even if the freelancers succeed in subjugating it, it is a problem. “What will people think of the association?”
Yoo Young-soo kept his mouth shut in response to General Manager Choi Ho-seong’s scolding.
It was a statement that left no room for refutation.
The moment when I was rushing to head to the operation team.
“wait a minute!”
This time, Assistant Manager Dong-Hwi Hwang from the control team visited Ho-Seong Choi.
“What is it again?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to go out.”
“what?! “Why have they been talking nonsense since a while ago?”
“Right now, the freelancers are not subduing monsters in the area, but the monsters are attacking each other.”
Choi Ho-seong’s eyes narrowed.
“What are you talking about?”
“In a situation where there is no target for attack for a long time, the population is gradually increasing, so it seems like a territorial fight is breaking out among themselves.”
“Are you sure?”
“yes. “I went to the site and confirmed it myself.”
Assistant Manager Hwang Dong-hwi answered in a firm voice.
“So, I think we can hold out until the operation team is convened without having to go too hard with the subjugation.”
“…then I’m glad.”
You can trust me because I confirmed it myself.
Of course, it took a while, but it was still too early to feel relieved.
“I told the operation team to remain on standby and Assistant Manager Hwang continues to observe the area. If there is anything unusual, please contact me right away.”
“All right.”
As Assistant Manager Dong-Hwi Hwang left, Ho-Seong Choi sighed.
Of course, I felt somewhat uncomfortable about the strange situation that suddenly occurred.
***
After leaving the office, Assistant Manager Hwang Dong-hwi let out a light sigh.
I immediately took out my cell phone and called someone.
“Dispatch to headquarters has been prevented. “You’ll be alone in the area for a while, so make sure you don’t make any mistakes.”
“How should we dispose of it afterward?”
“We can just throw it as food to the monster.”
“I understand.”
I finished the call and started walking again.
Assistant Manager Hwang Dong-hwi.
A member of the control team at the Seoul headquarters and a direct subordinate of team leader Pyeon Chang-hyeon.
And the field manager of the Korean part of the balance adjustment team at PB Corporation.
Although he was affiliated with two locations, his role was to manage and supervise field workers in the Korean part, so he rarely moved directly.
At best, it was just a matter of receiving orders and monitoring specific people… but this time, the situation was different.
Team leader Mark personally entrusted this operation to himself.
‘It looks like you gritted your teeth on this project.’
I remembered my meeting with Team Leader Mark a few days ago.
He handed over the operation file along with the processed Banneungseok and instructed them to deal with Kim Jun-woo while the hunters were summoned for the appearance of the Regen dungeon.
Since it was a dangerous dungeon, it was judged that there was no way Kim Jun-woo would not participate due to his personality.
Taking advantage of everyone’s confusion and dealing with it secretly carries less risk and has the greatest chance of success.
Hwang Dong-hwi began preparing for the operation by visiting each field worker, including Yang Min-ho, and delivering necessary items.
But who would have thought that the association would explode ahead of the dungeon’s appearance.
‘Who the fuck would have guessed?’
I had to somehow get Kim Jun-woo to participate in the operation, but even that bastard Choi Ho-seong interfered, so there was no other way.
Just when I was wondering if I should leave without even being able to do anything, an unexpected opportunity came.
Today, while checking the CCTV remaining in the area, he discovered Kim Jun-woo, who was carrying out the subjugation alone.
Hwang Dong-hwi, who thought this was the time, decided to immediately proceed with the operation.
A situation where you are alone in a containment area infested with hundreds of monsters.
It was a perfect opportunity.
However, Team Leader Mark’s reaction was actually quite shocking.
-That guy is more dangerous when he’s alone. I told you this last time. In fact, he is the type of person who would rather have someone touch him.
-Plus, it’s irregular. I don’t know anything about classes or skills, so I don’t know what variables there are.
Hwang Dong-hwi couldn’t understand.
I understand that he is uneasy because he is an irregular person, but isn’t that why he was given a bannungseok?
In the end, since he also has this ability, everything will be useless in front of Ban Neung-seok, so why on earth is he so anxious?
‘…Tsk.’
Yes, there was no harm in being careful.
I took out my phone again.
“Are you moving?”
And then I called Yang Min-ho.
“yes. “We’re almost there.”
“You stay out. “Because I have some work to do.”
“What is it?”
“Well… I’m trying to get some insurance.”
Hwang Dong-hwi gave some instructions.
Just then, heavy rain began to fall from the night sky along with thunder and lightning.

Containment area near Seocho Station.
[Acquired Skill: Haste Railgun]
Jiiiing―.
Paang!
A blue light flashed and the firearm I brought with me was shattered.
‘Tsk, this is why I have to use a good weapon.’
There was no time to complain for a long time.
He immediately took out his next weapon and moved his body.
“How many are left?”
“28 left.”
Wow, still?
‘I wish someone would have brought me…’
It had already been several hours since the subjugation continued without a break.
Of course I didn’t think it would be easy… but it’s harder than I thought.
I have stamina, but my viewing angle is narrow because of the rain.
The situation is not very good, but it would be a shame to get out of here…
[Acquired skill: Hyper Boost]
[The caster’s movement speed increases significantly during battle.]
Paang!
I accelerated as much as possible and deliberately lured the monsters into a narrow street.
Unless you can handle dozens of monsters at once, you will need to move around a lot to prevent them from coming from all directions.
I moved between buildings and disturbed monsters.
[Starting the safety device release sequence for the S-rank skill.]
[Checking the activation conditions.]
[Confirming the caster’s identity.]
[Confirming the caster’s rank.]
[Confirming combat status.]
[Activation conditions have been confirmed.]
[Applicable The skill’s safety device has been released.]
[Be careful when using the skill.]
[Acquired skill: Rolling Paper]
[The target designated by the caster moves as commanded for 10 minutes.]
“Bite everything you can.”
As soon as the command is given, the surrounding monsters rush towards their compatriots.
Taking advantage of the gap between us attacking each other, I quickly hid in an alley.
“Hehehehehehehehe…”
I wanted to proceed as quickly as possible, so my body was rapidly becoming burdened, probably because I used my S-rank skills randomly.
‘Now there are 24…’
While I was recalling the numbers again, Lee Ah-young’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.
“hey! “Are you okay?”
“…I’m okay.”
“I don’t think this will work anymore. Now retreat. Otherwise, I will call for help!”
“Let’s just do it a little more.”
It was at that time when I heard an intense nagging voice,
“You’re going to die!”
fault-.
A group of people appeared from nowhere and surrounded me.
‘What is this again?’
I looked at the group of about five or six people and asked Lee Ah-young.
“Have you called backup already?”
“no? What’s wrong? “Is something wrong?”
“…It’s nothing.”
In a situation like this, there’s only one person who would come to me
even though I didn’t call them.
“Are they from the International Association?”
Of course there was no answer.
Well, since I failed once, I thought they would come back again… but I didn’t know they would come in droves like this.
“From the looks of it, you didn’t come to help me. “Why do you think you can kill me this time because I’m alone?”
“….”
“….”
Still silent.
“what? What happen?! “Answer me…!”
I pulled out the wireless earphones and threw them on the floor.
I didn’t think I had time or space to explain.
“It’s a bit of a situation, but… I have a lot to ask you guys. “Well, putting everything else aside… why are you targeting me?”
“….”
“Fuck it. “I didn’t even expect it.”
Well then.
My limbs are still intact, but there is no way they can answer me.
It doesn’t matter.
[Acquired skill: Thunder Fist]
[All melee attacks of the caster generate powerful lightning.]
When they were ready to attack, what they took out… was a gun.
A regular gun, not a special-purpose gun.
As I was looking at the gun aimed precisely at me, I burst into laughter without realizing it.
“It’s ridiculous. What did you bring…”
Without looking any further, I rushed towards them.
Blue lightning enveloped the entire body.
The moment I punched a guy with all my might.
Taang!
A single gunshot echoed in the air.
“…?”
I realized late that something was wrong.
‘What the fuck.’
I felt a tingling pain in my lower abdomen.
[Acquired skill: Low Panic]
[Casting skill] The
defense skill I was wearing was still working.
Even though it is a low-level defense skill, there is no way it cannot block bullets.
‘But how…?’
The feeling of déjà vu that came at that time.
okay.
I’ve felt this sensation before.
The day I died right before my return.
It was like that time when I was attacked by assailants.
“Kill me.”
At that moment, someone opened their mouth.
[Unique Skill: Guillotine]
At the same time, a stranger took out two huge swords and rushed towards me.
Suddenly…
Something fell off.
