The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 304
304
304
In the forest near the Ural Mountains.
A Navy-grade cave-type dungeon located somewhere in a fire-ravaged area.
“Hey hey… what did you just do! Are you okay?! “Answer me!!”
An urgent voice rang out from the radio that had fallen on the floor of the boss room.
A man who was staring blankly picked up the walkie-talkie and then slowly opened his mouth.
“Are you the president of the association?”
As soon as he raised his voice, there was no response.
The man waited for a moment and spoke again.
“Why aren’t you saying anything all of a sudden?”
“It’s all you…”
Dmitry, President of the Russian Association.
There was confusion and fear in his voice.
“How can it already be…”
“It’s not that difficult.”
“What did you do to our team members…?”
The man glanced downward.
And then.
“It looks like he’s dead.”
He calmly said those words.
“This is absolutely an act of aggression! “I said I would be willing to take military action against the official request to ban access…!”
“Do it.”
The man answered immediately, cutting off Chairman Dmitry.
“You can do whatever you want, whether military or nuclear. “We have decided to change our route.”
“What do you mean…?”
“As long as Kim Jun-woo is alive… I think it will be difficult to achieve my goal.”
The man smiled.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just start over again?”
“What is that…”
Association President Dmitry asked, but the man did not bother to explain.
Not only was there no reason to do that, but even if I did say it, it would all become meaningless after a while.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work. Eden would have been WDSO’s only means of stopping us… I’m just thankful that they kept it out of their hands.”
“…!”
Afterwards, Association President Dmitry shouted in an excited voice.
It sounded like an insult or a plea, but the man simply ignored it and continued.
“Don’t be like that. “I’ll clean up after myself before I leave.”
The man gestured toward the accompanying troops.
bang-!
Boom, kwagwagwang-!!
Roaring noises began to be heard one after another from outside the dungeon.
Indiscriminate bombing was carried out against all members of the Russian association stationed at the site.
There was no longer any response from the radio the man was holding.
The man put the radio down on the floor and looked at the bodies scattered around him.
Secretary General of the International Hunter Association.
Wesley David.
No emotion could be felt from his stern expression.
Changing course meant withdrawing from controlling the international community.
And instead, I decided to start everything from scratch.
A time when there were no associations, operational teams, or guilds.
If we go back to a time when no system existed, we can start over again.
Everyone will have no choice but to depend on the International Association.
For that you need just one thing.
It is to destroy all punitive organizations.
“….”
Secretary General Wesley sighed deeply without saying a word.
Soon, it stopped in front of a stone that glowed a soft green color.
Eden.
The core of sinia and the cause of all these phenomena.
Secretary General Wesley slowly picked it up.
From that moment, a war targeting the entire world began.
***
―――!
A near-Omega level dimensional dungeon that appeared in the mountains of Gangwon-do.
The moment when a priest recites an unknown spell into the air in a place reminiscent of an ancient temple.
Kwasik-!!
A huge bolt of lightning struck straight toward my head.
[Acquired Skill: Supreme Mirror]
Timing that cannot be avoided.
I hurriedly put up a shield.
bang-!!!
“Tsk…!”
Without realizing it, one knee fell to the floor.
The power is somehow unusual.
At this level, you should dodge rather than block…
Unfortunately, the inside of the temple is not large enough to freely avoid attacks.
If you dodge recklessly, your movements will be read and you will be cornered.
Rather than having no choice but to avoid it, I should try to block it as much as possible.
of course.
Kaaaaaa—!!
Sook Soo-wook—!
Kang!
Magic and swords.
It’s easier said than done to handle two things at once and stop a guy who’s running at you like a madman…
But the problem is bigger than that.
‘Damn it…’
First of all, the movement itself is somehow awkward.
A completely different sensation than before.
This is not the sense of freely controlling attack and defense movement through black air currents.
Devil.
It is my unique skill and the skill that made me the world’s first SSS rank.
The prototype of this ability is the power to create all kinds of skills and unique spaces using black air currents.
The skill I had been using my whole life suddenly changed.
It’s a skill I’ve never heard of before and I can’t even guess.
Above all, the circular power that had enveloped my entire body also disappeared.
If we fight again with the International Association like this, the outcome cannot be guaranteed.
That’s why I crawled into the limbs.
Because I needed to fully understand my skills somehow.
‘Just once…’
The moment I opened my eyes, a priest ran towards me screaming and holding a dagger.
A new skill was cast at that timing.
[Unique skill: Emperor]
[Checking activation conditions]
But….
[Activation conditions have not been achieved.]
[The skill cannot be cast.]
“…What?”
Something unexpected happened.
Cannot be cast.
I was momentarily dumbfounded by that absurd situation.
Suddenly!
“Ugh!!”
In the end, the priest’s attack was allowed.
A wound extending all the way from the shoulder.
Looking at the amount of bleeding, it appears to be quite deep.
‘Damn activation conditions…’
This is the first time I’ve heard of something like that in a unique skill.
What conditions do you need?…
[In order to activate the unique skill, there must be an ally nearby.]
[Current confirmed ally – 0 people]
‘What the fuck….’
If there are no ally, it won’t activate. Yes?
What kind of skills do you have?
‘So… you’re saying I can never fight alone?’
As soon as I thought about it, my expression instantly hardened.
It’s a disaster.
No…
it’s done.
It’s only been 30 minutes since I entered the dungeon.
There were 2 hours and 30 minutes left until the promised time for reinforcements.
Can you fight that thing for 2 and a half hours without any unique skills…?
‘…It can’t be possible.’
Fuck.
I’ll just be stuck in the office.
The moment I muttered that, the priest chanted another spell.
thud-!
Thump thump thump!
Dozens of red pillars began to pour down from the sky.
[Acquired Skill: Hyper Boost]
Taaat!
I immediately moved my body and barely managed to avoid the falling pillars, but that was all I could do.
How to defeat your opponent.
What kind of attacks does the opponent use and what characteristics do they have?
There is no time to think about such things anymore.
I’m just struggling to survive right now.
There is no way to attack or come up with any countermeasures.
As before, no matter how unfavorable the situation was, if you took as much time as possible to gather information about the opponent, you had a good chance.
No, I was sure.
I am confident that I can defeat it no matter what.
But not now.
No matter how much time I take and how much information I gather, I don’t have the strength to implement it.
Even if you dodge the attack right now and move your body with all your might, that’s all you can do.
At this rate, no matter how much time passes, there is not even the slightest hope of defeating the opponent.
‘Damn it…’
A feeling of helpless despair bubbled up from deep inside.
It’s not that something like this never happened, but it was so long ago that I can’t even remember.
I almost lost my senses for a moment due to the terrible reality that there was nothing I could do right now.
I have always been strong.
I was always above everyone else, and all decisions and choices in the field were always mine.
Thanks to this, there was not a single fatal accident in the operation I was in charge of, and my team achieved an absurd 100% success rate.
To be honest, I don’t think anyone else could achieve the same feat.
So I had to keep my position.
All kinds of titles and rank skills… None of it should be lost.
Because I always had to be strong.
I always had to be superior to everyone else and I had to make all the choices.
Even if it’s dissatisfaction to some and abuse of power to others, it can’t be helped.
Even if they are dissatisfied, at least we can keep them from dying.
Well, whatever it is, isn’t it better than dying?
Immediately after my regression, I was obsessed with somehow returning to my original self.
Shouldn’t I go back to being world number one Kim Jun-woo and do my own thing?
So I wasn’t really thinking about it right now.
I don’t know if this is really my past or another world, but if I go back anyway, won’t they all disappear?
It is natural that my reality is more important than that place.
However, a lot of things happened here unintentionally.
Really unintentionally…
As a result, I gained a lot of authority, responsibility, and influence, and many people under me looked at me again.
If the person above wasn’t me, I wouldn’t have had to do this.
Why bother risking your life and doing something dangerous?
But whether it was intentional or not, you can’t ignore it and pretend you didn’t see it since you’re in this position after all.
So, unfortunately…
I have to be strong here too.
But what will happen if I die here?
No, leaving everything else aside…
I came in with that kind of form, but if I die, I’ll be embarrassed and won’t be able to attain Buddhahood.
‘So, some fucking skills…!’
It was a time when my teeth were breaking and I was chewing so hard.
[Unique Awakening Passive: Wise Cleaner]
[Skill Unlock Condition – Responsibility of the Strong]
[Passive Activated]
The system voice was heard again.
[Designate all those who trust you as allies.]
[Estimating the number of allies]
[Total allies: 113,203]
“Huh…?”
[Unique skill: Emperor]
[Checking activation conditions]
[Current confirmed allies – 113,203]
[Activation conditions have been confirmed.]
Soon, instead of a black air current, a bright golden light began to surround my whole body.
[Unique skill: Emperor]
[Skill activation]
[All statuses increase by 10 for each identified ally.]
[Unless the caster dies, allies also do not die.]
[All skills of allies can be used.]
Head A system window pops up with a golden crown on top.
[Unique class: Seonggun]
After seeing that, I finally felt like I had some idea of what kind of skill it was.
But there was no time to slow down and think.
Kaaaaagh!
Perhaps feeling threatened, the priest stretched out his arms and shouted something to the sky.
thud-!
Something pure white holding a huge sword descended in front of me.
Not a monster or a living thing, but something transcendent.
Eventually, it began to respond to the priest’s hand gestures.
Jiyiing―.
Let’s raise that huge sword towards me.
bang-!!!
A huge flash of light flew out.
But even with that attack, I just quietly clenched and opened my hands a few times.
‘….’
He soon nodded.
[Unique Skill: Emperor – Coronation]
[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara]
[Unique Skill: Hyperpanic Berserker]
Paang!
With my whole body bathed in the bright, bright light pouring into that gloomy space, I rushed towards the priest and that transcendent being.
