< Dungeon Destruction (2) >
The dungeon that No. 12 entered was a general plain dungeon.
A visual that looks like a ranch.
But it was different.
There was a thick forest that was not green, but overgrown with grotesque sheep with tiny eyes on each fur.
‘Anyway, it’s just a rubbish mob.’
The appearance was very gross, overbearing, and strong, but the function of those eyeballs was only for vision, so it was not a very strong monster.
It’s almost like a strong sheep.
So, Sang-woo didn’t care about the monster and sent the clone straight ahead.
It was to ignore the miscellaneous mobs and immediately find the dungeon core and destroy it.
Then, suddenly, I realized what I was missing.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t know where the dungeon core is.’
I vaguely thought it might be located in the middle of the dungeon or in the depths, so I came in, but after looking around the dungeon, it wasn’t easy.
‘Hmm, that might take a while. I can’t.’
Sang-woo immediately gave an order to his alter ego.
‘Find the dungeon core and report it.’
Then No. 12 started to run at a tremendous speed.
PABABABABAK-!
No. 12 ran while ignoring the attacks of all rubbish mobs.
Because Sang-woo’s order took precedence.
A few minutes to run around like that.
Sang-woo, who was concentrating on the other alter egos for a while, confirmed the alter ego’s report that he had found the core.
‘Hmm, did you find it already?’
Sang-woo connected directly to number 12.
Then, in the eyes of the alter ego, a dungeon core in the form of a grotesque living being buried in the plain was reflected.
Wriggling-
The core was squirming and constantly spewing out monster sheep.
Maybe that’s why monsters were swarming around.
Such a newly born monster.
Kiyii Lee-Lee-
Awesome crying flowed out of the monster’s neck.
‘This is the core. It’s terribly disgusting.’
Sang-woo, who was watching the scene, jumped into the middle of the core.
As Sang-woo’s body touched the outer wall of the core’s biomorphic form, a sticky feeling passed through his feet.
Putting the gross feeling behind, he gave the order.
[Nuclear Fission]
What Sangwoo tried was the skill Nuclear Fission, which he had sealed since he could not use it.
He plucked a hair from his head and tried to use the skill, just like Yamato did.
Pick-
However, the hair fell to the core without any force and there was no reaction at all.
‘Last time, it’s not like that either. I guess using the extremities of the body will be possible only when the skill level rises.’
I thought it would be possible because the level of the body’s nuclear reaction skill had risen considerably, but it was still a long way off.
In the end, Sang-woo had no choice but to use his body to use the nuclear reaction skill.
Then, similar to when using Mana Explosion, Sang-woo’s body began to glow.
Yi Yi Yi Ying-
The body of the alter ego is a mana embodied.
Even so, what constitutes the body was the existence of proper body cells, the molecules that make up those cells, and the elements and atoms that make up those molecules.
And now one of those atoms has been split by the fission skill’s mana movement.
And as the atom splits, it emits neutron beams, stimulating other atoms, and as the atoms split, they emit neutron beams again.
A chain reaction spread throughout Sang-woo’s body in an instant.
The reaction was explosive.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!!!
The results were also explosive.
The alter ego disappeared without leaving a trace, and along with it, a radius of several kilometers, including the core, was destroyed in an instant.
Sang-woo succeeded in removing the core like that.
He had disconnected right before the explosion.
‘One dungeon was solved, and the next is here.’
I just destroyed a dungeon.
I still had two more to deal with.
He returned his consciousness to the other clones.

Meanwhile.
A dark bear dungeon located at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain.
At the beginning of the raid, a group of raiders were checking their equipment.
And there was Kang Jun-young, who had changed beyond recognition.
Up to a height that has grown about a span, and a body that is more solid than before.
“Junyoung hyung, the preparations are complete.”
“okay? let’s go.”
Kang Joon-young said with an expressionless face and threw himself away.
It’s because –
even though he didn’t use his main ability, Electric Power, he felt his body pass by just with pure physical ability.
The crew who couldn’t beat his speed and fell behind.
“Leader! let’s go together!”
Ignoring the voices of the crew, Kang Jun-young flew away like a darting arrow.
The laggards said one word at a time.
“Hey bro, why are you like that? It’s so fast.”
“I know yeah. It must have been upgraded while the army was there.”
“What kind of superhuman training center is the Ministry of National Defense?”
“Right. Fortress only gathers and trains hunters.”
“When I went to the army a few years ago, there was nothing special, right?”
“Looks like something has changed.”
In fact, because of Kang Jun-young, who had been out of touch for a while, it was the members of Kang Jun-young’s raiding party who hunted with him for the first time after being discharged.
That’s why it was when I was getting a strange feeling from Kang Jun-young’s suddenly changed and stronger appearance.
Aaaaaaaang-!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
”
Kang Joon-young’s desperate screams were heard.
Surprised by the scream, the crew immediately ran.
“Hey there!”
At the place where they arrived, there was a dark bear that was originally black but much more charred, and next to it was Kang Jun-young, who was lying on the floor and clutching his head.
“Leader!”
“brother!”
“Is your brother okay?”
While the crew is taking first aid measures, such as feeding healing potions while looking at Kang Joon-young with worried eyes.
A change was taking place in Kang Jun-young’s head.
Jun-Young Kang whose brain was eaten by a strange biomaterial when he ate DEP-001.
After that, he seemed to act according to his own will, but in fact his will was not completely his own.
Unknowingly, his actions were being interfered with by the unknown biomaterial.
At the same time, his every action was being sent somewhere as information through biomaterials.
Even moving him to hunt seemed like a ‘test’.
And today was the first hunt he faced after his brain was eaten.
Kang Jun-young threw himself to test the ability according to his own will, not according to the will of the biomaterial.
Afterwards, Kang Jun-young faced the dark bear and activated his main ability, Electric Power.
Then something went wrong.
Chijijijik –
The power of lightning that runs through the whole body.
That electrical energy flowed through Kang Jun-young’s head as well.
Kang Jun-young’s body has already developed a very strong resistance and immunity to electrical energy.
Because of this, his body was rarely injured, but the strange biomaterial was different.
Tadadadadat-
That biomaterial could not withstand Kang Jun-young’s electrical energy and burned up in an instant.
The burned remnants that remained in his head after that.
As if the remnants were toxic, they remained in Kang Jun-young’s brain and melted and adhered to the spaces between the blood vessels and neurons in the brain.
This was giving Kang Jun-young extreme pain.
“Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
The crew feed Kang Jun-young a healing potion.
Then, the energy of the healing potion, along with the remnants of it that clung to Kang Jun-young’s head, was restored as it was.
Kang Joon-young’s brain was messed up.
However, thanks to recovery, did the pain go away?
Kang Joon-young’s moans died down, and soon he opened his eyes. A bright red glow emanated from
his
bloodshot eyes.
“Are you okay bro?”
Troopers with worried complexions.
Watching such members, Kang Jun-young’s heart became a mess.
‘Are you worried about me? me? what are you Dare to a C-level subject.’
Feelings such as superiority, pride, and anger against the members that he had never thought of before.
It was boiling over.
And on the contrary, Junyoung Kang felt that his condition was strange.
He spoke with difficulty, barely holding on to his emotions.
“…No… I’m not in a good condition…”
“Hyung, I’m just par for today. Go in and rest.”
“that’s right. Aren’t you injured? Let’s go to the hospital for a detailed examination.”
“Did you get hit by a dark bear?”
They were the ones who were genuinely concerned.
But at the end, Kang Jun-young’s anger boiled over when he asked, “Did you get hit by a dark bear?”
“You were beaten by a dark bear? Are you ignoring me now?”
“No, not that. You need to know what the cause is to treat it properly. So…”
The crew is taken aback when they see Kang Jun-yeong, who suddenly looks serious.
The blood in Kang Jun-young’s bloodshot eyes grew thicker.
“You… what are you…”
“No hyung, what are you doing today?”
“Isn’t this a mental attack? The symptoms just look like mental contamination.”
“They say there is a monster that does some kind of mental attack here.”
While the crew are arguing about it.
Junyoung Kang barely opened his mouth.
“…Fuck. All off.”
Then he blew himself up and disappeared. It was a tremendous speed that was faster than before, probably because
the pot-
ability had been activated.
It was as if the body had disappeared.
And the members who were left watching him like that.
Silence passed between them.
“…Doesn’t this look like something X has been done?”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with what someone muttered.
* * *
Parking lot in front of the Hyeseong Guild office building.
A foreign car stopped in front of him.
It looked expensive even at a glance in the sleek body design with glossy black light.
and.
Silently,
two men got out of the locked door.
It was Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo.
“It’s pretty big here too.”
“Still, it’s the number one guild in Korea. Hey Hunter. Please follow me.”
Kang Jun-mo had experience working at the Hyeseong Guild before starting JM Agency.
Just like Hunter Manager.
Although it came out badly, he walked into the office building with a new feeling.
While people who seemed to be hunters and their associates were already recognizing Sang-woo from the entrance and whispering, a person in a suit who was watching the guards found Sang-woo and Jun-mo Kang and approached.
“Oh, Mr. Junmo.”
The security guard in the lobby pretended to know Kang Jun-mo.
Then, suddenly, he made a sad face and spoke again.
“Ah, now I am CEO Kang Jun-mo. It’s been a while, so I made a mistake.”
“It’s okay, Mr. Gil. Long time no see. You were still working.”
“Haha, this is my calling. I confirmed that the representative’s meeting was scheduled. We will guide you right away.”
Still, the security guard by the name of Gil-hyung seemed to be glad to see Kang Jun-mo on a bad terms.
Kang Jun-mo was also happy to see him.
When he worked as a hunter manager, he would occasionally have a drink in the evening with Gil-hyung, who was at the bottom.
‘Still, Mr. Gil-hyung seems to have been promoted quite a bit. Business report at the front door.’
While Kang Jun-mo was soaked in emotion like that.
Gil-hyung reported their visit through an ear microphone and guided them to the VIP elevator.
Curiously, the elevator had buttons disabled.
Beep- When Gil-
hyung put the card worn around his neck on the card terminal next to the button, the VIP elevator was activated.
“You can ride this.”
“Yes, thank you.”
A few seconds to wait for the elevator to come down like that.
The general elevator next to it got down first, the door opened and a person walked out.
Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo met his eyes.
Kang Jun-mo’s eyes widened slightly.
And it was the same for the other side.
“Long time no see.”
“Ah yes. Oh long time no see.”
The opponent, who was so confused, hurriedly left without hiding his embarrassment.
Seeing this, Junmo Kang smiled and climbed onto the VIP elevator that arrived with Sangwoo before he knew it.
‘That person is still going. Actually, it’s been two years since I came out of the Comet Guild. Not long ago.’
The opponent Kang Jun-mo met.
At the time Kang Jun-mo was working as a hunter manager at the Hyeseong Guild, he was his direct senior manager, Kim Dal-soo.
‘I heard what Hunter Lee Myung-chang said and immediately went around talking about it in the company.’
Kang Jun-mo once told one of his hunters, a hunter named Lee Myung-chang, about the corruption that was rampant within the Hyeseong Guild, especially the settlement corruption.
At that time, it was common for the Comet Guild to siphon off some of the profits while selling monster by-products brought by the hunters without realizing it.
‘I don’t know now, but it used to be. How is it these days?’
I shouldn’t have said it originally, but it was a mistake I made while drunk.
And as soon as Hunter Lee Myung-chang found out about the problem, he came to the inside of the Hyeseong Guild to argue and listen.
The person who ignored this was Director Kim Dal-soo.
Afterwards, he found out that Kang Jun-mo talked about the company’s internal circumstances in the process, and spread rumors throughout the company.
He was also the one who reported it to the management team leader.
In the end, Kang Jun-mo was almost buried inside the company and had no choice but to leave the company because of that one mistake.
‘Even if it’s a corruption, it’s not my fault because I told you the company’s internal secrets. And it was right that I shouldn’t say it because it would cause harm to the company. I know they steal money all the time, but pretending not to know is honestly stinging my conscience.’
Moreover, the very low payout ratio of 6:4 or 7:3, which was established as industry practice in the first place.
Kang Jun-mo also did not like taking too much commission compared to taking care of the hunters.
That is why his company, JM Agency, which he founded, put forward a high settlement ratio of 8:2 by default.
‘In the end, it worked out well with what I realized while working at that time.’
It’s been almost 2 years since I left the company like that.
Kang Jun-mo met again as the representative of a rapidly growing company and Kim Dal-soo as an employee who is still a loyal slave of the company.
Kang Jun-mo suddenly had thoughts of wanting to use the name of a representative such as ‘Shall I call him again’ or ‘Shall I call him and give him some trouble’?
‘Ah, so what are you doing? It’s a thing of the past anyway. That person must have said that we should eat and live.’
He silently shook his head.
Seeing Kang Jun-mo like that, Sang-woo asked.
“Do you know the agent?”
“yes. He was my senior before.”
“Ah, somehow. It seemed like they weren’t very close.”
“It was almost like nothing.”
“yes? Then shouldn’t we have a shot?”
“Ay, leave it alone. It’s a man anyway.”
“Haha, I like the coolness of former CEO.”
“Yes? Ha ha ha.”
The upper floor arrived while chatting for a while.
When the elevator opened, I saw a huge conference room.
And the Comet Guild officers who are already seated and waiting.
In the honorary seat, Shin Hye-seong, the leader of the A-class hunter, and Shin Jin-wook, his son and leader of the 1st strategy team, were seen.
“welcome.”
Shin Hye-sung got up and approached with a happy expression, holding Sang-woo’s hand and shaking it.
