Chapter 69[OK]

Jinwoo went to Daesung Tower as soon as the sun came up.

'It's too big to watch again.'

a 100-story skyscraper
It hurts my neck to look up to the top.

'But there are too many people.'

There were too many visitors going in and out of Daesung Tower.
The difference between night and day was huge.
People were constantly on the streets as well as at the entrance.

'If you suddenly disappear from such a crowded place, you'll get loud again.'

Why do we need to come forward and get attention when we are receiving spotlights for being a sponsor of a question?

'Of course not.'

Jinwoo was not a stand-up character.
Once moved to a quiet place, Jinwoo took the devil's key out of the inventory.
a long golden key
At first glance, it was an item that looked like an ornament.

'No one's here, right?'

Jinwoo looked around and nodded.

'Let's go here.'

Jinwoo experimented with his hideout skills.
a burr
Jinwoo, whose shape had disappeared, walked to the boulevard and walked close to the building, skimming through the crowd.
Tuk.
Tuk.
As a road in the middle of the middle of the daytime, he was mixed up in the crowd and bumped his shoulders several times.
But nobody noticed.

'Hiding skills can be used to abuse anyhow?'

This is why I thought that if a senior Hunter has the skills of hiding, he would be subject to intensive management.
I'm thinking about miscellaneous things for a while.
a blaze of anger
When he stepped inside the invisible border like when he first came here, the surroundings completely changed.

'I can hear flames burning from this distance. How hot is it?'

a huge burning tower
Daesung Tower occupied the place instead of the place filled with demons.

Did humans be called adaptive animals?
'But it is less than the first time.'

Certainly there was a lot less tension than when I first saw demons.
No, maybe.

Maybe it's because I've grown that much.'

Jinwoo returned the demonic key to the warehouse and this time he pulled out the gray key.

[Item: Key of the gate]
Difficulty in Access: A
Type: Key
It's the key to opening the gates of the Devil. You have to kill the gatekeeper to get it.

It was the key to the gate that was acquired after killing a door dog, Cerberus.
Before, Cerberus had been beaten up and couldn't get inside, but he was barely able to use it.
Thrash.
The next thing he called was a weapon.
Jinwoo walked cautiously in front of the gate, holding the key to the gate in his left hand and the 'baruka dagger' in his right hand.
The Cerberus was not seen.

'In a demonic dungeon, do not the monsters respawn?'

Like Cerberus, the chances were high, though it was inconclusive.

'Then...'

It is said that the structure may be different from other dungeon that monsters respawn.
Jinwoo kept his senses sharp.
Throbbing, throbbing, throbbing!
As his stat number expanded beyond 100, his heartbeat sounded like a thunder.

'But I'm not scared.'

Unlike before, he now had confidence coming from overwhelming power.
Staying tense and being afraid were different stories.
a belt ring
When I stood in front of the gate, a message appeared.

[Will you go inside using the key of the gate?] Y / N

'Shall we come back here?'
With an absurd sound, Jinwoo smiled and chose Yes.
profit margin-
Then the hinges creaked and two giant doors moved without touching them.
Bumpy!

'What...?'

Jinwoo was embarrassed.
Although the sense is sharp, I did not feel the monster's presence inside the gate.

'No monsters?'

Rather, Jinwoo was worried about the opposite situation.
I once thought that monsters would pop out all at once, so I would go to the penalty Zone and do a special mission while catching sand dunes.

'But...'

But what is this?
Efforts were blameless.
The inside was so desolate.

'Huh ... This is true.'

Jinwoo was so dejected that he returned 'Baruka' to the warehouse and stepped into the evil castle.
At that moment.
a belt ring
The sound of the machine made Jinwoo called up two daggers, but it was just a reminder message had come.

What?

[The quest has arrived.]

'Quest has arrived?'

It's not a daily quest?
Even though the daily quest message reminded me of a strange thing, I got the reward after finishing the daily quest early.
So it's a normal quest.
It was the first time.

'Until now, I only received Hidden Quest or Emergency Quest.'

Except for the daily quests that you get, like, good or bad every day.
Jinwoo looked up and confirmed the contents of the message.

'Confirm.'

Then, more information about the quest came out.
a belt ring

[General Quest: Collect the Devil's Soul! One]
The devil is full of demons. Catch the devil and collect the soul to get special rewards. The soul can get one for each devil, but at the top there are demons with many souls.
Quest conditions:
-Demonic position
Quest completion conditions:
- 10,000 Devil's Souls
Compensation:
-1. Choice one of all items 
-2. Bonus stats +20
-3. Unpublicized Rewards

20 Bonus stats!
First of all, it was Bonus stats that caught Jinwoo's attention.

'I can increase my intelligence by 20 points!'

A smile was built in the temple.
The lack of mana felt brisk.

'It takes a lot of mana to regenerate shadow soldiers.'

Is that a problem?
It also confirmed that the number of shadows that can be extracted and the number of soldiers that can be stored increases as their intelligence.
The intelligence stat was desperate.

'There were limits to level-up and daily quests.'

If you can get 20 points for Bonus stats as a reward for the quest, all the problems will be solved.
gulp.
My mouth is watering.

'And then.'

Jinwoo's eyes rose.

[Compensation]
-1. Choice one of all items 
-2. Bonus stats +20

Bonus stats are just a sneak peek, but you can choose one from every item.
(보너스 스탯만으로도 감지덕지인데 모든 아이템 중에서 하나를 선택해 가질 수 있단다.)

'Is it really anything?'

Jinwoo recalled the expensive equipment he had seen on the store list before.

'Surely...'

Among the items of the difficulty grade S rank, there were items that went up to billions or even 10 billion.
The 10 billion is gold, not the cash, but the system-only currency.
But where is it?
The "Night Killer" that I'm using right now is an item worth 3 million gold.

If three million B-rank items have this level of performance, what are hundreds of millions, or billions, of S-rank items?'

It stimulated curiosity.
Looking at the two rewards, it was a quest that should not be missed, apart from unreleased rewards.

"When compared to this compensation, catching one or two monsters is a piece of cake.'

Jinwoo, who was excited to finish the quest and get compensation, opened his eyes wide.

10,000?

The sound of embarrassment came out.
One or two monsters has gone beyond the level of laugh.

'It's not normal running, is it?'

Devil is a number that no one knows what kind of monsters they are, but ten thousand are beyond the control of.
But Jinwoo grinned.

'If you were alone.'

Currently, the number of shadow soldiers is 50.
You can complete the quest by capturing only two hundred each.
It's like a quest to squeeze the soldiers out.

[General Quest: 'Capture the Devil's Soul! Do you want to accept ''?]

'Of course.'

There was no reason to refuse.

[Quest accepted.]

It's just that failing penalty can be a waste of time.

'If you think of other quests, huh ...'

Compared to the previous quests and emergency quests that had to risk his lives for the first time, it was truly a gracious quest.
Jinwoo looked up.

'Is it all over there?'

As soon as I accepted the quest, the count was up.

[Captured Evil Souls : 0 / 10,000]

'10,000... That's too much.'

After checking the target amount, which had been abstracted in my head, with my own eyes, I found myself laughing.
Then on the left, I found another count floating in the air.

'What?'

[Experience to next level up: 60, 000]

A figure of 60,000, clearly marked with a hologram.
It said the level would rise if it was filled.

'Now the experience is displayed?'

However, it was a shame that I had never seen before when I entered the demonic world.

'Where...'

Jinwoo stepped back and went out of the Devil's Castle.
Then all the soul numbers and experience numbers disappeared. When I went back inside, both of them appeared as if they were.

'It's only activated in the Devil's Castle.'

It was a shame that he couldn't see it outside, but it seemed more convenient than when he was inside the Devil's Castle.
on the contrary

I think it takes a lot of time to go after this place.'

Such speculation was possible.
Once again, Jinwoo closed the message window, checking the contents of the quest thoroughly.

'This is enough.'

Now I can afford to look around the demonic interior.

'Hoo!'

Jinwoo's eyes have grown.
Woo Woo Woo-woo-
Inside was a city that had been turned into ruins. It was an unexpected field-type dungeon.

'What is it? Is it Seoul?'

Is it this kind of atmosphere when all the people living in Seoul die and go back a hundred years?
In a city that turned gray and lost its vigor, only the street light was blinking.

'I do not think it's a field dungeon ...'

It was a dungeon based in Seoul.
The size was limited to certain places, such as underground stations and department stores, so it was impossible to compare the changes with those that occurred.
Jinwoo slimmed his eyes.

Where should I go?'

Where is the destination?
Jinwoo's eyes wandered.
Fortunately, however, the concern did not last long.
Far away, a huge pillar of light stretched out into the sky in the direction that the Namsan Tower should be.

'Let's go over there.'

Jinwoo moved there.
In case you ever get lost, remember the surrounding area with the gates.
By the way.
I had to stop my pace for a while.

"Kick."
"Kiki Kick."

Small-sized monsters crept out between the building and the building.

[Lower devil]

Jinwoo was able to identify them by looking at their names in black and red on their heads.

'It looks like ...'

It was those who thought that if you took off wings from the gargoyles, it would be like that.
There are eight of them.
Jinwoo's mouth went up.

'It's a shot at eight souls.'

Moment
Quacky!
A baruka's dagger was pierced in one's eye.

[you have put an end to the lower devil.]
[Earn 100 experience points.]
[Obtain one demon's soul.]

"Kiak?"
"Kieek?"

While their nerves were dispersed over the dagger, Jinwoo approached one of the other and separated his head from his neck.
Scram!

[you have put an end to the lower devil.]
[Earn 100 experience points.]
[Obtain one demon's soul.]

This guy also gave me an experience of 100.

'I needed 60,000 experience points, but ...'

It was possible to level up if you caught only 600 low demons.
The rest of them were quickly cleared up.

"Kie-e-
"Huh!"

[Obtain eight demon's soul..]
[Earn 800 experience points.]
'This is good.'

Jinwoo shook his eyes to find his next game.

***

the president's office of Baekho-gil
Baek Yoon-ho, who had been busy for a few days, was browsing through documents that he were not able touch.
Beep -
I picked up the phone at the call.

-President, what should I do about Hunter, Min Byung-gu?
"Please connect me."
-Yes.

After a while, a familiar voice came from beyond the phone.

- Why did you turn off the phone, Baek?

Baek Yoon-ho sighed deeply.

"Because of reporters. I'm going to stay in a dive until it calms down.""
-Oh, that's it! Red Gate! I've seen news in Japan too. The screen was good.
"Don't scratch my heart. I'm not in the mood to be kidding. If you get caught in the media, it's very."
-Don't worry about it too much. It'll be quiet soon. There's a big news.
"Big news? In Japan?"
-Yes, the problem is worse than I thought. It'll be on the radio soon in Korea.
"Why? What's going on?"

A week ago, Japan secretly contacted the Hunter Association and Korea's big-name guilds.
The Korean Hunters need to be consulted.
Two days later, some of Korea's most famous hunters moved to Japan.
Min Byung-gu was one of them.
But I was wondering about the news.

"Don't breathe in and say it quickly. This is the first time the Japanese have asked us for advice. What's the big deal? Those arrogant kids?
-Baek... the ant in Jeju island before.

The S-Class gate was opened four years ago in Jeju Island.
The ants that came out of there.
All three strikes failed.
In the end, the Korean government abandoned Jeju Island, and Jeju Island became the land of the monters.

"How do I forget it? I also near died and came out alive."
- It looks like a variant.
New variant of? I cant relate to it anyway. And they are getting in and out of the island. "
-that...

The voice on the phone was embarrassing.

- A winged ant's body was found off the coast of Japan.
