《Return of the Legendary Hunter》Chapter 155: Unexpected offer (2)
Advertisement
Woojin had to help Doctor Ahn's research by his side, or more specifically, be his test subject. And while doing that, everyone gathered at Old Hwang's call. The voice coming through the speakerphone was familiar.
[It's me, Baal.]
"What is it?" Woojin answered.
[I have an offer to make.]
"Go on."
[I will tell you the location of Meterul if you promise our safety.]
"It won't take us long to locate Meterul anyway."
[You don't have much time. If Meterul digests Zeus and Ra, none of you will be enough to handle him.]
Woojin had the same concern. He looked around, and Sun Wukong nodded as he stated, "There aren't many demons left anyway. It will be better if we allow them to live and find Meterul."
Woojin nodded. With Amon gone and the Avatars all united, there was no risk for the demons to call upon Meterul again anyway.
"Fine, I will allow it. Give us Meterul's location."
[I can't trust your word. I want at least one of you to swear an oath under your sacred name.]
Sun Wukong quickly spoke up.
"I, Sun Wukong the Monkey King, swear an oath for the safety of your demonkind."
[Good. Meterul is in my castle. I will send the coordinates. He said it will take two weeks to fully digest Zeus and Ra's power. He also declared that he will eat anyone who interferes with the process.]
"I guess he can't digest it all properly if someone interferes."
[Yes. So if you want to get him, now is the best time.]
"Good. We will allow you to live, but you demons can't stay there."
[Yes. I will make preparations on my side. I'll send the coordinates first.]

Woojin hung up and looked at Sun Wukong.
"This was unexpected."
"Can we trust them?"
"It should be okay."
"I hope it's not a trap."
Sun Wukong cackled.
"Even if it was, there is a limit to how far they can go. We can handle it."
Woojin nodded.
"If we are going to fight Meterul, we will need our sacred powers. Zeus and Ra were killed even before we got there, so Meterul is far more powerful than we thought he was."
"Yes. We have to be quick."
Sun Wukong then turned to Arthur.
"How long will it take to prepare our own?"
"Three days should be enough."
"Hmph."
He then turned to Woojin.
"And you?"
"I don't know. I'm doing my best to shorten the time."
Sun Wukong clapped and said, "With Zeus and Ra gone, we have to be ready for anything. We'll leave in three days to create a barrier over the entire castle and fight him on the fifth day. You stay back with Hermes and come when we're ready. Even if you are not ready by then, just come."
"Okay."
"Everyone, let's get down to business. Also, tell the US and Russia the coordinates too, so they can nuke the place at least if all else fails."
"Okay."
Woojin then went to visit Doctor Ahn. He already had few test syringes ready.
"I have some tests ready for you. Let's try them out."
"I have something to tell you first."
"What is it?"
"Baal told us the location of Meterul. We are going on a full all-out attack in five days."
Doctor Ahn laughed.
"So I have five days to give you access to the sacred power?"

"Yes."
Doctor Ahn asked, "Can I get more time?"
"No."
Woojin smiled.
"Then, I have no choice. You will have to stay with me the entire time."
"I was going to do that anyway."
"Good. Let's not waste more time then."
With Meterul's location, the leaders of the world asked if they could just launch the nukes, but Sun Wukong stopped them. Nuking wasn't a proven method to kill him and if it failed, the outcome would be more terrifying. The Monk of the Golden Wheel, Thoth, and Merlin were assigned to create a new barrier to withstand the sacred power. The size of the barrier was to be about the size of a large city.
Everyone was busy preparing to fight Meterul. Three days later, Arthur, Omikami, Haemosu, and Sun Wukong gathered. Poseidon also came to fight in place of Zeus. These five avatars were those who were ready to call their originals upon themselves to fight.
And while all that was going on, Woojin and Doctor Ahn were doing their best. Now, Woojin was able to transfer part of his spiritual power inside his spiritual stone and change it into sacred power. Woojin got up from the bed after going through another test.
"Is it possible?"
"I see what the spiritual stone reacts to now. The next will be our final one."
Doctor Ahn looked at Woojin with bloodshot eyes.
"But we can't test this."
If it was going to change the entire spiritual stone into a sacred stone, it would give Woojin the power of a god, but at the risk of his life. Even now, changing spiritual power into sacred power was enough to destroy a part of his body.
"And I can't be 100% sure it will work."
"I know." Woojin smiled, "But it's over 80%, right?"
"Yeah."
Woojin replied, "That's enough."
It was about a human becoming a god. 80% was more than enough.
"I'm counting on you, Doctor."
"Go get some rest."
Woojin nodded and left the lab. Miho came up to him.
"Didn't you go with Mr. Sun?"
"I can't bring down my original, so there's no need for me to go line up."
"I see."
"Is it that bad?"
"I wish I could say it was nothing."
Miho reached up and touched Woojin's cheek. It was sullen. Miho sighed.
"If you use sacred power, it will destroy you. You know that, right?"
"Of course."
"And you are still going to use it?"
"There is no other way."
Miho looked at Woojin silently and then hugged him. Woojin responded in kind.
"If everyone calls forth their original and the fighting starts, get out of the barrier."
Miho laughed.
"The barrier won't be that vulnerable."
"You never know what might happen."
Miho had a way to get out of the battle through her power to move over the realm. Miho looked up to Woojin.
"You won't even let me look? Even when the world will end if we lose?"
"Yeah, please. I want you to escape at least."
Miho then nodded slowly.
"Okay. Then, don't die and win."
Woojin wanted that more than anyone else. He had no death wish, but he had to be ready to defeat Meterul.
"We will win without me having to use sacred power."
"I hope so too."

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
