Secretary General Wesley, already incapacitated from combat.

The moment I hit his neck.

chuck-.

“…!”

Just before the final attack, Secretary General Wesley took something out of his pocket.

A stone that glows a soft green color.

It was my first time seeing it, but I knew right away what it was without even having to say anything.

“…What are we going to do now?”

It was Eden.

“Just like you said, it’s all over now… wouldn’t it be so unfair if it ended only for me? “Let’s just end this together.”

Secretary General Wesley raised his eyebrows with a face covered in blood.

But to me, it only seemed like a final struggle.

“Do you think that would be a threat now? Do you think you can live with that?”

Secretary General Wesley shook his head and answered.

“The moment Eden is destroyed, the whole world will be engulfed in chaos worse than war. Politics, economy, diplomacy and military… everything will stop and each country will face a dark age for decades.” “

….”

“Can you leave that alone?”

Without being able to answer, I looked up into space and let out a deep sigh.

Yeah well… that’s true.

If Eden is truly the culprit of the supernatural dimension phenomenon that has spread throughout the world for 50 years, the moment it is destroyed, all supernatural abilities and dungeons will disappear.

Of course that’s a good thing.

This is the ultimate goal of hunters and associations around the world, and at the same time, citizens will not have their lives threatened.

But even good things require timing.

As everyone, including me, said, the dungeon and this ability must remain for now.

There are still many countries where subjugation is operated as a national industry, and this is especially true when considering related industries and companies, including by-product distribution.

Perhaps, as Secretary General Wesley said, a crisis worse than war may come.

So we still need to prepare.

Even if I am the one who will return soon, at least I think about those who will remain here.

“It shouldn’t be destroyed.”

“You know very well.”

“But… even if Eden is destroyed, it seems like it’s a problem for us to solve and not something the Secretary General should care about.”

There is no need to weigh what is more important right now.

“Because you’re going to die here anyway.”

[Unique Skill: Emperor – Dethronement]

[Tyrant]

That time when the black air current was drawn in again.

“I’m sorry, but…”

Secretary General Wesley let out a chuckle.

“This is not about negotiation.”

And that moment.

Jeok-.

As soon as his hand holding Eden tightened, cracks began to form in Eden.

At the same time.

“…!!”

For a moment, I had a headache so severe that I felt like I was going out of my mind.

Damn it…

“Keueuuuu!!”

Pain like I’ve never felt before.

I fell to the ground in pain as if someone was squeezing my head with their hands.

My body didn’t listen and my eyes turned red.

Through my blurred vision, I could see Secretary General Wesley’s smiling face.

I somehow mustered up my strength and stretched out my hand, but…

.

In the end, I collapsed on the spot without being able to reach it.

It was a time when my consciousness was gradually fading away from the unbearable pain.

bang-!

A single gunshot rang out.

“….”

“….”

At the same time, silence came.

The pain began to subside, and as my vision returned, I could see the situation in front of me clearly.

“you…!”

Secretary General Wesley, who had been shot in the stomach, was looking behind me with a devastated face.

I also turned my head and there….

“I’m getting sick of this…”

Chloe was standing there holding a pistol.

“Can we stop now?”

“….”

I was also very embarrassed by the situation.

Even if they were all dying, there was no way regular bullets would work.

The only thing that can hit him is a semi-permanent bullet.

But even that was all used up in the battle a little while ago.

That means…

‘No way…’

As I looked at Secretary General Wesley, his image began to blur.

Their very existence was disappearing, as if they had never been of this world from the beginning.

“…Did you process the time stone?”

asked Chloe, keeping her eyes fixed on Secretary General Wesley.

“Just in case.”

She answered calmly.

We continued to watch Secretary General Wesley gradually disappear.

Then, as if he sensed the end, he let out a chuckle.

“Well… thank you all for your hard work.”

A word uttered with difficulty.

“You must have a hard time.”

At those words, I burst out laughing without realizing it.

“It will be the Secretary General who will have to endure the hardships from now on.”

“…yes?”

“Karma is a lot more persistent than you think. “It took me four years to clear it all… but I wonder how much longer it will take you, Secretary General.”

I walked up to him, dragging my legs that weren’t moving very well, and continued talking.

“I daresay that every day for the rest of your life will be hell.”

“….”

“Then… I hope you can endure it well.”

Secretary General Wesley had no further answer.

One thing was certain: his eyes were full of all kinds of fear.

“….”

“…”

Chloe and I watched him disappear like a hologram until the end.

“Whew…”

Only after there was nothing left did I get up again.

And then I looked around the battlefield, not a single ant in sight.

Before I knew it, the black hole that had covered the sky had disappeared.

But still, the cityscape was very miserable.

A place where all buildings and roads collapsed.

A city where everything is burning red as if bathed in sunset.

I took a moment to catch my breath there.

“…Let’s go back now.”

I turned my back on all of that.

***

“After most of the troops of the International Hunter Association, including Secretary-General Wesley, were killed during the battle, the remaining troops also declared unconditional surrender.”

WDSO Headquarters.

Twelve hours have passed since the last battle in New York.

A press conference room where all WDSO directors and executives gathered.

Director Lee Doo-sik stood in front of the camera and continued speaking.

“Now, the International Hunter Association is officially disbanded, and Eden, which was owned by Secretary-General Wesley, will now be stored by Eclipse under WDSO. Also, the war between national associations, including WDSO, and international associations….”

It was time to look at the reporters, hunters, and citizens who had gathered there.

“I declare that it is officially concluded as of this time.”

With those words, applause poured out.

But no one cheered.

There was too much to lose for that to happen.

“great job.”

“…That part was the most difficult.”

When Kim Min-ju spoke to Han Yu-bin, who was sitting next to him, Han Yu-bin shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Why don’t you tell me I did a good job?”

“Ah… isn’t that too harsh for not being a combatant?”

Lee Ah-young and General Manager Ha Seong-il joked.

But even for a moment.

They all turned their gaze towards the one person sitting in the front seat.

as soon as.

“Good job, teacher.”

“….”

The man who was the beginning and end of everything.

Kim Jun-woo was the leader of cleaning team 3.

“…What trouble?”

Kim Jun-woo answered with a slight smile.

“Please rest for a while. “I will talk to Yubin well and get her on leave.”

“Vacation…”

A meaningful expression.

As I was doing so, Director Lee Ah-young suddenly intervened.

“I’m sorry… I still have a lot to finish, right? We decided to take charge of each association’s damage recovery and relief work. “We also need to re-establish the subjugation system.”

“….”

“Well, I know you’re tired, but… don’t make that face. “We can finish it quickly and rest!”

Because she didn’t know Kim Jun-woo’s situation, she encouraged him in a bright voice.

“3-4 days is enough…”

“No, is there a need to drag it out that much?”

Kim Jun-woo answered, cutting off Director Lee A-young.

“Let’s finish it in 12 hours.”

“yes…? “Isn’t that a bit much?”

“Aren’t you the one who suggested we finish quickly and rest?”

Kim Jun-woo continued speaking with a smile.

“The sooner you do this, the better.”

“…If you are, then what. ”

Everyone, including Director Lee Ah-young, took those words at face value.

It wasn’t that he wanted to finish really quickly and rest, but it never occurred to him that he only had 12 hours left.

“Oh, and I have one more thing to formally convey here.”

At that time, Director Lee Du-sik, who was conducting a press conference on the podium, suddenly said that.

“As you all know, we also suffered a lot and lost a lot due to this war. And among them is Secretary-General Park In-beom, who has dedicated his life to the safety and peace of the people since 50 years ago, when there was no system or information.”

“….”

“….”

A heavy silence fell on the conference room.

“It is very sad and painful to lose such a wonderful person. But still, we must move forward. “That will be our final respect for Secretary General Park In-beom, who sacrificed himself for us.”

Soon, Director Lee Doo-sik’s voice gained strength.

“Therefore…”

Eventually, his eyes turned to a man.

“I am appointing Kim Jun-woo, leader of Cleaning Team 3, as the new WDSO Secretary General.”

With that remark, everyone from the people sitting in the seats to the camera that was shining on the podium turned towards Kim Jun-woo.

They look quite surprised by the sudden decision.

Of course, there were some who nodded as if they had expected it.

However, there were some who reacted more violently than they did.

“Mr. Seo?!”

“What?! “When did you decide on this?!”

“You mean we didn’t know?!”

They were none other than the headquarters managers.

“Well, that’s what happened…”

However, Kim Jun-woo spoke with a fairly calm expression.

As he was doing so, Director Lee Du-sik called him again, and Kim Jun-woo stood up and headed to the podium.

WDSO is the newly established official international dungeon suppression organization following the International Hunter Association.

Its secretary general is the head of all hunters around the world and the general manager of all associations in each country.

At the same time, he was the commander-in-chief of all subjugation operations taking place on Earth.

And the main character who arrived today was unexpected.

“hello. “This is Kim Jun-woo, the cleaner.”

He was a cleaner, the lowest-ranking position in the organization.

When Kim Jun-woo stood on the podium and bowed his head with a brief greeting, he was immediately showered with flashes of light that made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

At the same time, countless questions from reporters came in chaotically.

A few people asked about their impressions, and a few asked about WDSO’s future operational direction and goals.

A few others also tried to get assurances that they would not follow in the same footsteps as the International Hunter Association.

But there was only one question that most people asked.

‘How did you start as a janitor and work your way up to this position?’

Kim Jun-woo took a moment to catch his breath in response to that question.

“A few years ago, I became a dungeon cleaner through a small coincidence.”

Finally, the first words I spoke into the microphone.

At the same time, silence began to flow in the conference room, as if a promise had been made.

“To be honest… I didn’t even know what a dungeon cleaner did at first. “I didn’t really want to do it. I was thinking of doing it for a week and then quitting.”

At those words, several people sitting in the seats laughed softly.

Kim Jun-woo also followed them, smiling and speaking slowly.

“But when I look back now, the time I spent as a dungeon cleaner was…”
