Dig-!
A group of black masked people appeared in front of the portal in the dungeon with a halo of light.
It was the Trinity Group’s special operation team, including Sword Saint.
He arrived faster than the Sword Seeker by using the Heritage-made space movement scroll that he had prepared for emergencies.
However, due to the limited number of people, not everyone could come.
“Hurry out! ZOF team, stay and keep Sword Seeker in check.”
At the command of the Sword Master, they moved in perfect order.
Only a few Jiangshi from the ZOF team led by the Phase Administration camped in front of the portal.
At that time, the phase agency approached the swordsman.
“I brought this guy on the way to the chairman.”
Phase Agency’s hand held Sloth’s leg.
Even as he was being dragged to the floor, Sloth slept soundly without opening his eyes.
The swordsman frowned at that.
His burns hadn’t fully recovered yet, so his face was a bit grotesque.
“Isn’t that Jeong Sang-woo’s alter ego? I don’t think it’ll be of any use unless it’s the main body.”
“Still, I thought I might have something to catch, so I grabbed it. Looking at it earlier, the body was quite hard, but I thought it would be nice to take a DNA sample and sell it to Tron or use it for Jiangshi experiments.”
As he said that, the phase agency remembered that Sloth had blown away the members of the special operation team with a counter attack.
And the swordsman was also attracted to this.
‘Ohh? As long as it’s not reverse-summoned, the clone is worth studying. And if it doesn’t work out, you can try the Jiangshi technique. If the alter ego dies and is reverse-summoned, and the disciple suffers damage, the icing on the cake. Okay, there’s nothing to lose.’
A strange expression appeared on the swordsman’s face.
“Hmm… that’s a good idea. Let me take you.”
“Johnny.”
The swordsman crossed the portal with Phase Agency and Sloth.
and after a while
Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo –
Raven and Sang Woo Son Mi arrived with the sound of a jet flying.
The Jiangshi from the ZOF team who discovered them blocked the portal.
But none of them could stop the flying Raven.
Shih-ying –
Sang-woo and the others quickly passed through the portal with the power of flying.
As soon as I passed through the portal, I reduced my momentum and landed on the floor.
Tak-
Standing in front of the portal, they looked around to see if the people in black were there, but no one was there.
“Master, aren’t there any guys?”
-Um… Seeing that you didn’t get caught, you must have already run away. I wasn’t afraid to go this time.
With those words, the portal behind them began to shrink.
Shhhhhh…
Then it finally disappeared completely as if nothing had originally existed.
At the same time, the terracotta warriors approaching slowly lost their strength and passed away.
“… what the hell is this?”
Sang-woo asked Raven, his master. It wasn’t that I was expecting an answer, it was something like a surprised mumble.
But the answer came from the other side.
“It’s because the dungeon was destroyed.”
it was a hand
After leaving the portal, she was dazed for a moment, but she returned to her usual self-confident guide.
Seeing this, Sang-woo was dumbfounded.
How could a woman who threatened her life come out so shameless?
“Can you destroy the dungeon? Or rather, does the guide lead the hunter into a trap? I’m really dumbfounded. What the hell is your identity!”
Sang-woo burst into anger.
Sonmi hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.
“I am active in the Anti-System.”
“Anti-system? Is this a Chinese guild?”
It was the first guild Sang-woo had ever heard of.
Sonmi shook her head.
“We do not belong to any country. We just came together for a purpose.”
“What is its purpose? Murder? terror?”
Sonmi’s expression hardened at those words.
“It’s not like that. Our purpose is only the destruction of monsters through the destruction of dungeons, and the resulting peace.”
Yes.
The Anti-System was an organization launched with the intention of eliminating all monsters in the world.
They were composed of people who were dissatisfied with the global dungeon business led by the Enlighten Group and the policy of maintaining portals and training hunters.
Most of the very few members were victims of monster or Awakener crimes and suffered pain.
The same was true of Sonmi, and she thought that dungeons must disappear from the world.
‘Destroy the dungeon… The purpose is good.’
However, it was difficult to tolerate activities in a radical manner, such as those committed by Sonmi.
Didn’t Sang-woo himself almost become lost in the dimension along with the dungeon?
“The intent is good. But I think that way is so wrong.”
“I’m really sorry I lied to you. However, there was no way to get to the center of the dungeon. I didn’t mean to harm Sang-woo on purpose. So trust me.”
“Grunt…”
“And I came to help Sang-woo, but I also avoided him.”
“yes? What does that mean? I am helping you.”
“I went there to tell them that we had to escape before the dungeon was destroyed, but I got caught up in the energy of the barrier area.”
At those words, Sang-woo put on an expression that was absurd.
“Don’t you think it was wrong to hide the purpose in the first place and use us to eat? The more I think about it, the more angry I get.”
“… sorry. But if you say you’re going to destroy the dungeon, no one will listen. So…”
“It’s okay, I’m going to report it to the Hunter Association, so know that.”
There was also evidence.
Inside the dungeon, No. 1 carried the broadcasting equipment and continued filming.
Of course, the filming site was left in the dungeon along with No. 1.
‘The agent must have a copy…?’
I wasn’t sure, but I thought the JM Agency dispatched personnel who were monitoring it might have a copy.
However, when I thought about it, I also thought that the identity of Son-mi, who committed an act close to terrorism, could not be real.
“But is your name really Sonmi?”
Sonmi grinned.
“Of course… no.”
“yes? Then what’s your name?”
“That… it’s a secret. Anyway, Mr. Sangwoo, please remember this. That ‘the system should be gone’. Thank you. I’ll definitely repay you next time I see you! Enough then.” With those words, her body was slowly sucked into his own shadow.
“Where!”
Sang-woo quickly drew his sword and swung it at the shadow.
bang!
However, there was nothing but a direct hit to the bare ground.
‘Damn… the system should go away? What do you mean?’
The world has grown rapidly since getting the system.
It was because he was able to develop the strength to fight monsters on his own.
As much as that, the system was becoming an indispensable element for the awakened people, or modern people.
But the system has to go away.
‘In the first place, it’s strange that it’s an anti-system, so it must be a pseudo-religious terrorist group.’
It was Sang-woo who felt frustrated because he felt like he was involved in a strange place.
I almost lost my life because I was involved with a dangerous organization.
I was a bit scared at the same time.
I don’t know when this will happen again.
Raven, who had been watching Sang-woo from the side, opened his mouth, wondering if he knew Sang-woo’s carefree mind.
– Disciple, I think it’s over, but let’s eat. You’re hungry.
“No, Master. I was tossed around by a woman now, but now I’m over eating?”
– Since you moved, isn’t it nature’s order to be hungry? Anyway, is there any major damage?
“Well, that’s…”
At those words, Sang-woo quietly examined the damage he suffered.
‘I struggled to death because of the monsters… But thanks to that, my stats improved a lot. And I almost died because of the people in black… But I don’t think these guys are an anti-system, right? And all of the clones are reverse summoned… Huh?’
In Sang-woo’s senses, he could feel that a link with his alter ego remained.
Even if the portal disappeared due to the destruction of the center of the dungeon, the alter egos trapped inside the dungeon did not disappear.
‘I thought the alter egos would be summoned, but that didn’t work.’
Sangwoo immediately tried the Familiar skill.
But it didn’t work, probably because the portal was gone.
‘I wonder if the order will work.’
Just in case, Sang-woo ordered to kill all the monsters he could see around him while practicing the Stormbringer sword method.
I could feel the link between Gluttony and Sloth, but I didn’t make a special order.
Even if he ordered it anyway, Gluttony would most likely do something else if he found something to eat while carrying out the order, and Sloth only slept except activating the Ex Just Field.
Also, even if you stay still, as time goes by, your abilities will increase little by little, so you just have to leave it alone.
Soon after the order was given.
[Intelligence has risen by 0.001.]
[Regeneration has increased by 0.001.]
[The level of the monster absorption skill has risen.]
[The level of Stormbringer’s sword method has risen
] started to wake up
‘Oh, then I’ll have to return to hunting while I’m resummoning the reverse summoned clones.’
Considering that, there was no major damage except for a few reverse summons and a few pieces of equipment.
In addition, the original purpose of the expedition to catch the A-class monster was also achieved.
Sang-woo’s grunting mood soon became better.
“Master, after examining it, there is not much damage. Just don’t mind. Shall we go get something to eat?”
-good night. let’s go
“Yes, but here in China, I think it’s a bit dangerous. Are you going to Korea? By the way, who are the black people who attacked us?” – Their leader was the Sword Saint. It was probably a group led by the Sword Saint.
“A swordsman?”
– He has a grudge against me. Before I…….
Raven started to introduce an anecdote related to the sword castle.
So the two of them moved to Kang Jun-mo’s place.
* * *
Trinity Group’s secret laboratory.
It was a training program to strengthen the awakened people belonging to the group, research on ancient martial arts, and development of restoration medicine.
And the place was busy with the new test subject.
That was the sloth.
Sloth was naked and placed on something like an operating table.
“Height 185cm Weight 90kg Skeletal muscle mass 57kg… A very outstanding test subject.”
“As a result of the mana scan, the entire body is made up of extremely high concentrations of mana. Incredible. This is the first time I have seen a body like this.”
“good. Let’s take a sample and proceed with the experiment right away.”
Dressed in sterile lab coats, they moved in perfect order.
But it soon ran into difficulties.
Samples such as hair, dead skin cells, and epithelial cells in the mouth were taken, but after a while, all of the samples turned into mana and evaporated.
“Oh… I heard that it’s an alter ego, so it’s also partially reverse summoned like a summoned body.”
The researchers were right.
The part that fell off the body of the alter ego lost its holding power, so it turned into mana.
They struggled with the smell of the sample for a long time.
“No one has ever succeeded in taking a sample of a summoned beast. Let’s give up on this.”
In the end, the sample gave up and started another experiment.
It was a brainwashing experiment that took control of the body.
But even this could not proceed.
“It won’t happen, so we can’t proceed with brainwashing.”
“Even mind magic doesn’t work.”
“Um…”
Brainwashing drugs, hypnosis, and mental magic didn’t work on Sloth.
“It’s really the best body, but I can’t use it…” ”
Now that it’s like this, why don’t you experiment with the ZXC-1000 that you’ve been scrapping?”
ZXC-1000.
It was a project to recreate the Vajra Buddha, one of the Chinese legends.
They found a clue about the Vajrapani Buddha among the items related to Ginger Poetry in the ancient documents that recorded the Gangshisul.
The essence of ginger poetry meant that the human body was transformed by forcibly inducing DNA transformation by immersing the body in a special solution made by mixing various poisons harmful to the human body.
In other words, it was similar to forced metamorphosis.
‘But because the process is so painful, living humans can’t stand it.’
For this reason, it was written in the literature that in ancient times, people tried to make ginger poetry with corpses, but even this was true or not proven to be successful.
However, after a lot of research in modern times, research on the method of forcibly causing DNA modification by borrowing only the essentials was actively underway.
One such successful case was Phase Agency, and the ZOF team made the sample universal.
ZXC-1000 was one of them, and it was the most powerful sample among those forcibly modifying human DNA using a virus.
An algorithm that strengthens skin and skeletal regeneration was implanted in a super virus that was transformed by projecting radiation onto the virus, but no test subject has been able to withstand the sample so far.
All of them died due to necrosis during the DNA modification process.
If the sample succeeds, there is a high possibility that the legendary Geumgang Buddha will also succeed.
‘If it’s useless anyway, I’ll have to experiment with the ZXC-1000.’
The head of the research center immediately confronted the Sword Master.
And I was able to get confirmation. “We have received permission to experiment with the ZXC-1000. Prepare.”
“yes.”
Researchers moved again.
A tightly sealed ZXC-1000 sample was taken out of the sample refrigerator.
The sample was then injected into a rubber tube connected to Sloth’s arm.
Joo Woo-wook –
A green liquid injected into Sloth’s body like poison.
At the same time, numerous machines soared around the test bench.
Attached with dozens of whips and bats, it mercilessly attacked Sloth’s body.
Chwack-
Chew-Chack-
Chack-
Boom!
Machines being destroyed by Sloth’s counter attack.
“Add more stimulus machines!”
However, even when the machines were broken, another machine rose up and attacked Sloth’s body.
It was to stimulate the virus that entered Sloth’s body through the blow of the machine.
how much time has passed like that
At some point, Sloth’s body changed.
It was the skin that gradually hardened.
The values of the instruments measuring Sloth’s body, such as skin hardness, density, elasticity, and regeneration, began to soar rapidly.
“No way…”
“Success.”
The researchers looked at the figure with nervous eyes.
All of Sloth’s skin was the same as human skin, but strangely, it began to reflect light like chitin, the shell of a beetle.
At the same time,
[Adamantine Buddha skill has been created.]
[Ganggolche skill level has risen.]
[Ganggolche skill level has risen……]
[…….]
To Sang-woo A new skill has emerged.
