18 clones descended.
Excluding alter egos 1 to 3 currently guarding their families and alter ego No. 5 for collecting by-products, 3 alter egos in the process of accessing Odin’s Tower.
In other words, the level of Sang-woo’s alter ego skill had already reached level 25.

───────────────
A whopping 25 clones can be summoned.
Above all, the cooldown has been greatly reduced, and now it can be summoned once every half a day.
‘The more I try to use it directly without relying on the system, the faster the skill level seems to rise.’
Sang-woo’s immediate goal was to directly use cloning techniques to reduce his dependence on the system.
So, I used to follow the mana movement when using the clone technique skill, but after starting the practice, I felt that the level of the clone technique skill was rising faster than expected.
I haven’t been successful yet though.
The alter egos descend toward the floor through a sub-space located high in the forest.
Sang-woo immediately gave the order.
‘Wipe it away.’
And immediately, the attacks of the clones came out.
It was before the clones even landed on the floor.
[Storm Strike]
[Continuous Strike]
[Shock Wave]
[Earth Spear]
…Innumerable skill attacks poured from each alter ego.
Being in the woods, the flame attack and the explosive attack range were restrained attacks.
And even though it was a one-time attack, the saber monkeys were mercilessly cut down by attacks that could never be called small or weak.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
–
green blood that was not red like a monster spurted out in all directions, dyeing the forest covered with dust green.
And that was it.
Only a few seconds had passed, but the situation ended as all the monsters in the area died.
and after a while
“There it is!”
I saw domestic guild members running in a hurry.
The people at the forefront were the members of the Comet Guild.
In particular, Hyesung Shin was leading the way, and the way he was coming was unique.
Round spheres that seemed to be made of mana were spinning around him, and they were riding a board-like thing made of such mana on the soles of their feet and flying in a floating state.
‘that’s interesting.’
Sang-woo saw it through the eyes of his alter ego and thought it was amazing.
And the feeling was over.
Perhaps it is the ability to strengthen and materialize control over mana.
That’s why it was clear that mana balls or mana boards were embodied and moved like that.
‘It’s a pretty decent ability, but I don’t think it’s top-notch.’
Although it was a good skill with an infinite range of uses, its power seemed unpredictable.
First of all, Shin Hye-sung’s speed on the mana board is faster than other hunters, but it’s slower than Sang-woo’s running around.
It was because of the fact that the mana balls surrounding them also looked similar to most attack skills and magic arrows.
‘Still, if you get a chance, you should get it. Is there any room for sparring?’
However, greedy Sang-woo was eyeing even that.
Because the ability is multi-fold.
And while those brief thoughts come and go.
The party arrived and stopped in front of Sang-woo before he knew it.
Each of the 18 alter egos is standing here and there, waiting for Sang-woo’s command, such as the back of a tree, branches, and the dirt floor.
However, each of the alter egos was covered in green blood, showing off their wriggling muscles in sleek battle suits, and looked very strong.
And seeing all the alter egos that looked the same like them were staring at the party, the feeling of intimidation was great.
‘That’s an avatar….’
‘It looks so damn strong.’
‘…I’ve already caught a few.’
Especially the corpses of nearly a hundred hordes of monsters lying around before they even arrive.
It was ridiculous speed considering they chased with almost no delay.
However, Sang-woo set off at the same time as them and there was no doubt that he had caught these monsters in such a short amount of time.
“Are you here? The situation here is over.”
Sang-woo spoke to Shin Hye-seong, who was at the forefront of the group.
“Ah… you’re really fast. But this is a saber monkey… wasn’t it difficult to deal with because it moved so fast?”
“Not much. It was slow.”
In a way, the words can be arrogant.
However, when Sang-woo talked about it, he seemed very confident and plausible.
“But there are really a lot of monsters here. It might be a bit difficult if we try to attack each guild as originally planned.”
Sangwoo gave his opinion.
The original plan for the restoration operation was for the domestic guilds that participated in the restoration operation in North Korea to secure a foothold while individually advancing toward their respective areas.
But is there a reason why North Korea was neglected for decades?
Sang-woo wasn’t too difficult, but it was expected to be a fairly difficult process for normal hunters to deal with.
Even now. It was a short time that was less than a minute since I had a short break
, but
other monsters have already begun to attack again.
And Park Won-tae, who was at the forefront of the party with Shin Hye-seong.
He unleashed his proprietary crescent-shaped sword technique at the sturgeon wild boar that jumped between him and Sang-woo.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak –
Contrary to the hard-looking appearance, it is a wild boar that can be easily cut by the crescent moon sword.
Park Won-tae chimed in while the party sneaked back and avoided the blood.
“Eutcha! Yes. This is a one-monster bonanza, but there are too many of them… If you make a mistake while hunting, you will be isolated.”
“Hmm… Then how about moving as a group and securing a base?”
When Shin Hye-seong surprisingly sympathized with Park Won-tae’s opinion and expressed his opinion, Taeyang Guild leader Kim Il-gon, who was on good terms with him, grumbled as if he was dissatisfied.
“No brother. If you go as a group, when are you going to finish this operation? Isn’t our name domestic guild One to Three? let’s go back to normal It’s a bit tight, but I don’t think it’s too dangerous. And there are no S-class monsters here anymore. It’s been a long time since the S-class and A-class mobs were wiped out by the American Shiki.”
Yes.
As Kim Il-gon said, high-ranking monsters used to line up in the ruined North Korean region.
There was a reason why North Korea, which had enough conventional and nuclear weapons, perished.
However, after the world stabilized to a certain extent, the hunters who hunted most of their country’s rare monsters perished and illegally crossed over to North Korea, where there was no government, and raided S- and A-class monsters.
That’s why South Korea, which borders the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, suffered little damage from monsters descending from North Korea.
If even an S-class monster had come down, the truce line would have been breached a long time ago.
When Kim Il-gon objected, the other guild leaders sympathized with him.
While the party fended off the invading monsters, the leadership was thrown into confusion.
And Sang-woo, who was watching their discussion.
He sighed and joined their conversation.
“You know what to do with that… I’ll go alone. Well, I’m not used to party hunting.”
“Are you going alone? But you agreed to check the dungeon together, right?”
Shin Hye-sung clung to him stickyly.
Sangwoo shrugged.
“I’ll wipe out all of North Korea once and then explore the dungeon inside the portal later. Still, if you want to follow me, would you follow me?”
The contract established between Sang-woo and the Hyeseong Guild helps monopolize the bonanza dungeon.
In other words, fields other than dungeons had nothing to do with it.
Shin Hye-sung nodded as if he couldn’t help it.
“Hmm I see. Then, I’ll see you during the dungeon exploration after the fields are cleared.”
“yes. Then I hope you all have a good hunt. I go first!”
After he finished speaking, Sang-woo threw himself away along with the clones.
Monsters were already coming from all sides, including the floor and the top of the tree, but they couldn’t stop their footsteps.
‘Oh right. I have to collect the monsters.’
And Sang-woo ordered one of his alter egos to collect the corpses of the monsters he had killed earlier.
All that was left was to catch the monsters.
Sang-woo was lost in thought as he smashed the monsters in the form of dead trees with his fists.
‘Shouldn’t it be better to defeat the monsters individually like this? Or should I scrub it with a wide-area machine?’
Each had its pros and cons.
Defeating them individually makes it easier to collect monster corpses and reduces environmental destruction.
Instead, using a wide-area machine would make it difficult to collect monster corpses and increase the possibility of environmental destruction, but instead, the operation to recover the North Korean region would be completed very quickly.
‘First of all, since there are too many monsters, it’s dangerous, so I’ll wipe out the field first and destroy each dungeon… Yes, that would be better.’
And Sang-woo made a decision in an instant.
He gave orders to his clones.
‘Scatter.’
As soon as the order was given, the alter egos spurred on and soared high above the air in the forest.
[Fly]

…After using the flight skill, they each scattered in all directions.
The alter egos stopped at an appropriate distance, roughly several kilometers apart.
While the alter egos dispersed, Sang-woo was lost in thought.
‘Nuclear lasers and nuclear reactions in the body don’t work because of the radiation…. Mana Explosion doesn’t work because it takes the cooldown of the clone…. Yes, that’s all.’
Sang-woo carefully decided which skill to use.
When he made up his mind, the clones prepared their own skills according to his command.
[Sub-space]
The alter egos that were not holding weapons each picked up a sword through the sub-space.
Then, while floating in the air, the alter egos began to focus mana on their swords.
The Stormcore Mana Engine spinning inside them pulsated rapidly.
Along with him, a huge energy rushed into the sword.
The wind and the movement of the clouds in the air began to move along the sword, like iron dust attracted by magnetism
.
A huge cloud floating in the deep blue sky rotated, creating a strange movement as if a whirlpool of the sea had formed in the sky.
Dozens of such vortices form above the heads of the alter egos.
Before long, the skill was manifested.

Stormbringer’s 8th level swordsmanship.
Storm Bringer This was also the stage where the true secret of the Storm Bringer swordsmanship was expressed.
And when the magic trick was activated, a storm began to rise in the really dry sky.
Not just one, but a feast of storms unfolded simultaneously by 18 aircraft.
The huge storm covered all of North Korea.
