Chapter 109

Chapter 109 – Party (1)

Heaven’s Will .

Located in the heart of Gangnam, it was truly the best guild in South Korea .

No one could disagree with this .

Kim Yong-woo’s eyes were teary . He had all sorts of worries while attacking the dungeon in Saudi Arabia, but they were now gone .

He had returned . These words were enough .

“Captain-nim…!”

Warak!

Yoo Eun-hye hugged me as soon as the plane descended . She had been quiet for the last few days, but that stopped the moment she stepped foot on South Korean soil .

I stayed still and looked around .

Everybody was looking at me with a curious expression . There were a number of reporters requesting an interview but I ignored them .

The atmosphere was quiet as they waited for me to speak .

“Guild Master, I will return for a talk . ”

I could see the reporters preparing to write in advance . Therefore I only spoke quietly to Kim Yong-woo .

“I look forward to it . ”

Kim Yong-woo gave a huge smile . He originally had to defend his position with a dignified attitude, but now life was good .

I didn’t mind .

Edward Windsor, who was quietly standing behind Yoo Eun-hye, said .

“This is the last time . I won’t forgive you if you make Noona cry one more time . ”

“You’ve developed a lot of affection in the meantime . ”

“Noona is my benefactor . I will give my life to her . ”

I was the one who saved him, but didn’t Yoo Eun-hye nurse him back to health?

I started laughing .

“Am I not welcome?”

“It is better than nothing . As long as Eun-hye noona laughs…”

Edward gazed at Yoo Eun-hye admiringly . Edward’s beginning and end seemed to be Yoo Eun-hye .

‘He won’t be able to escape . ’

In a nutshell, Edward was forced to follow me as long as Yoo Eun-hye did . Over time, his obsession with her would just deepen . One of the 10 mighty Heroes in the future had fallen . I didn’t need to worry about him becoming an unexpected obstacle . As long as the growth rate wasn’t bad, he would be able to face a higher level of creatures in the next three years .

“Please be prepared . There is a lot of work in the world these days . This is only the first dungeon destroyed . ”

Kim Yong-woo said playfully .

Lee Ji-hye sighed .

“It will be hard to rest in the next few months . ”

“We should take today as an opportunity for a break . I deliberately told the reporters to leave so that we could rest . ”

The other raid members stretched out and exclaimed .

“Wahh! Home! Bed!”

“I want to eat my mother’s stew . ”

A private bus to carry the people arrived .

Yoo Eun-hye was still stuck to me like gum as I boarded the bus . The jealousy in Edward’s eyes became much stronger…I didn’t bother stopping it . But I had to remove her by force after arriving at Gangnam .

“…Ah, I want to keep hugging you!”

Yoo Eun-hye tearfully protested .

“Tomorrow . ”

“Bah, we’ll see . You aren’t going to disappear tomorrow?”

I had left them too frequently .

The bus stopped and Kim Yong-woo was waiting for me . Yoo Eun-hye wasn’t concerned despite everyone staring at her .

“That won’t happen for a while . ”

“Are you sure?”

“Trust me . ”

“Huheung, I don’t believe you . Promise with your finger . ”

“Tomorrow . ”

I walked out while ignoring her finger . Kim Yong-woo laughed as Yoo Eun-hye shouted louder .

“You really have to come tomorrow! Don’t disappear again without telling us! Or else I will burn your badge!”

The next day, there was a wall of humans outside the guild house .

Numerous reporters . It was to celebrate the return of a hero . And there was a crowd of Awakened who knew about my ‘resurrection . ’

But I didn’t show my face to them . There were some personal details that I kept secret . I always wore a half skull mask outside, so Kim Yong-woo also paid a lot of attention to security .

However, I couldn’t just ignore them . There was an intense curiosity about how I managed to come back from the dungeon alive .

I had a private interview with a reporter that was revealed to the public .

The interview was taped and broadcasted by the stations, embroiling South Korea in a huge storm once again .

-Hello . Please introduce yourself .

“I am the captain of the raid group Devil Hunters that belongs to Heaven’s Will, Randalph Brigsiel . ”

–It is a pleasure to meet Captain Randalph-nim . Then I’ll get straight to the point . Several months ago, the angels emerged and creatures gathered in South Korea . I heard that Randalph-nim received a large injury from the creatures and was dragged into the dungeon . Is that true?

“That’s right . I was dragged into the dungeon along with the angel . ”

–It is amazing . Can you tell me what happened afterwards?

“I met the Dungeon Master . ”

–Yes…?

“I met the Dungeon Master . ”

–Are you talking about the woman with long ears that appeared with the monster wave?

“That’s right . The Dungeon Master was very curious and healed me . ”

–She directly healed you?

“It is true . She is strong but was bored waiting on the top floor . Therefore, she hoped that I would relieve some of that . I would have died if left untreated . ”

–I remember . The words of the Dungeon Master spread throughout the country . At that time, Randalph-nim’s attack was a huge issue . Then the angel that came with you…?

“The Dungeon Master isn’t good . She came up with a devilish way to corrupt the angel . My body trembled as I saw the scene . ”

-A fallen angel…hah . It is unbelievable . Did anything special happen?

“I was able to explore the dungeon . ”

–Is that really possible? The Dungeon Master gave you permission?

“That’s right . But it was up to the 15th floor . The creatures became stronger and the terrain changed as I climbed higher . In some cases, I found ridiculously powerful treasures compared to those downstairs . The top floor is the 31st floor . The Dungeon Master seems to be very interested in the affairs of humans . ”

-Wait a minute . Isn’t the Dungeon Master controlling the creatures?

“It is impossible to control them all . And they might be helpful to the further growth of the Awakened . Perhaps…a monster wave will occur in the near future . ”

–Things are becoming more bleak . Did she mention what she wants from us humans?

“Increase our strength, and handle the other dungeons . The Dungeon Master hopes for the level of the Awakened to rise . Beyond that, I don’t know . But the Dungeon Master is very strict, she gave me one last warning . A chance like this won’t happen again . ”

–I don’t know how far you can grow . Even now, the average citizens see the Awakened as Superman .

“Climb the dungeon . That road is faster than anything else . And…the Dungeon Core is a powerful weapon . Think of this as a chance . ”

–Ah, I heard that Saudi Arabia’s dungeon also collapsed . Heaven’s Will and Randalph-nim contributed a lot to it . I’ve never heard of a Dungeon Core .

“It contains the magic power that maintains the dungeon . We searched for it the day after killing the owner, but there were no signs of the Dungeon Core . ”

–Wait! So the Dungeon Master in Saudi Arabia was killed?

“That’s right . Of course, I wasn’t alone . It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of others . That’s why some of the Awakened died . ”

–Yes, that is regrettable . In particular, none of the Awakened from China seem to have survived . They were surprised in the middle .

“It can’t be helped . Everyone gathered there was different . ”

–Our deepest sympathies . But if it was possible to destroy Saudi Arabia’s dungeon then, here in South Korea…

“That is impossible . South Korea’s Dungeon Master is different . I don’t even dare think of wielding a sword against her . Every Dungeon Master has different traits . ”

–It is still monumental . One of the 72 dungeons has been destroyed, so humanity finally has hope .

“If every Awakened grows quickly then it will be possible to protect the peace on earth . These are trials . Trials to make humans grow . ”

–Thank you for the good words . And thank you for your time today .

This was the end of the interview .

It lasted approximately five minutes . But the duration didn’t matter . It contained a lot of information .

The captain of Devil Hunters was now the symbol of ‘resurrection . ’ The dungeon floors, fallen angels, monster wave and existence of the Dungeon Core .

All of this was amazing .

The interview flowed all over the world . At the same time, the world’s giants started to move . Their eyes were headed towards South Korea .

* * *

A half Dungeon Core .

It was broken due to White, but the light showed that there was still some concentration of magic power . The fairy had gone back to its original nature .

I left the half Dungeon Core with the best blacksmiths . The dwarf blacksmith guild, ‘Blacksmith’ frequently made goods for humans .

‘This belonged to a duke, so only Unique or even Exceptional Unique grade items can be made from the Dungeon Core . Rather, it is better to use this politically . ’

This was the result of several calculations .

In particular, the weapons would be used to strengthen Kim Yong-woo and Heaven’s Will . There was no one using Exceptional Unique (Ex U) weapons among the humans . It was likely that an astronomical sum would be spent for them . I turned my eyes to the outside .

“Ohh, I can’t go out . This is really frustrating . ”

Yoo Eun-hye slumped down .

The reporters in the last few days were to blame . Therefore she was stuck in the guild house . Any member that went out there would be engulfed by the curious humans .

“Go away . It is too hot . ”

“Ah, Captain-nim is good . I wouldn’t be able to walk through so many brutes . I will be honest . ”

Yoo Eun-hye was strongly attached to my side . She was more aggressive after I returned back alive .

The person who would be called Lightning Queen in the future . There was also the bonus of making the indifferent Edward Windsor annoyed .

“That’s right, isn’t there a party today? Are you wearing a suit?”

There was a huge guild party scheduled to take place this evening . It had occurred a few times, but this was the first time I was participating . It was expected that the guild masters and other important figures would attend .

Yoo Eun-hye continued to babble like a sparrow .

“I’ve made a lot of money in the meantime . I’ll give some to you . How about it?”

“There is no need . ”

“Aye ~ Don’t be like that . You’re coming, yes? You are the only one who can make the reporters move . I wouldn’t even be able to move 200m without you!”

I didn’t bother with a lot of words .

Kim Yong-woo had already grabbed the back of my neck .

‘A suit . ’

I didn’t have a lot of time to find one due to the dungeon .

I lightly nodded and stood up .
