Episode 412
The person who greeted Park Seong-jin after crossing the mobile gate was Taiwan’s National Power Level Su Jin-chang.
“Welcome, player Seongjin Park.”
Su Jinchang expressed his sincere gratitude as he welcomed the 30 association players dispatched with Park Seong-jin.
Although he wasn’t a national powerhouse like Yoo Ah-young, Park Seong-jin was already a renowned player in the world.
This is because I think that if he is the best among SS-level players and has reached the level of a sword, he is a good match for me.
From the perspective of Taiwan, which does not have any SS-level players except Su Jin-chang, the support of Park Seong-jin and the S-level players he brought in was encouraging enough.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Player Su Jinchang. “Thank goodness the mobile gate is activated.”
Shaking hands with Su Jinchang, Park Seongjin looked back at the gate he had passed through.
The gate, which had not been activated no matter what we did for three years, had been working again for some time now.
Some experts, including Seo Sang-ik, only say that the flow of magical power has changed.
The detailed reason could not be explained.
There were only vague speculations and assumptions going around that it might be related to what China was doing in New Delhi.
“I am sorry for being late. “Selecting useful players.”
Players led by Park Seong-jin were dispatched to Taiwan, and Magicians players led by Kwak Si-yang were dispatched to India.
Being dispatched as a troop to a foreign country was like being on the firing line, so the process was quite complicated.
If there wasn’t a transfer gate, arrival time here would have been even later.
“That feeling alone is enough. “Then, I will tell you about the monster’s movements first.”
Su Jinchang quickly explained the situation.
A monster that appeared in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan.
At first, it was simply measured as an S-grade gate break, and A-grade and S-grade players were deployed accordingly.
And the players who were deployed lost their lives in an instant.
The level of the monster had grown to SS, and only then did Su Jinchang, who recognized the seriousness of the situation, step forward in person.
In that short period of time, the level of the monster had grown to SSS.
It was a disaster.
The monster continued to grow even while Su Jinchang was attacking it, and eventually became SSS+.
The monster that blocked two raids quickly formed a dungeon, and now an SSS+ dungeon on the same level as an uncaptured dungeon has been formed.
“It’s an unexplored dungeon…”
When I was briefed on the situation in New Korea, I heard it was a top-level gate break.
A dungeon transformation in that short period of time.
Park Seong-jin frowned at the scale, which was larger than expected.
Su Jinchang continued his explanation as if he understood his feelings.
The Taiwan Players Association persuaded the government to evacuate most of the capital’s population, and the players led by Su Jinchang were currently tightly surrounding the dungeon.
This is to slow down the dungeon even a little.
“Have you confirmed the species of the monster?”
Seongjin Park asked.
For some time now, the magic waves emitted by those of a higher species or higher have been interfering with human radio waves and causing disturbance.
Because of this, their detailed information was difficult to obtain using things like satellites.
What appeared was the highest species.
An ordinary S-class player cannot avoid death just by encountering it.
So far, Su Jinchang is the only one who has identified the monster and survived.
That’s why I’m asking.
The great devil seen at the New Delhi conference hall.
Is he the same guy as him and does it seem like China is involved?
“It was the great devil.”
Su Jinchang nodded and answered heavily.
“…This is the worst.”
Seongjin Park made a realistic assessment.
As far as he knew, there were only two people in the world who had caught the Great Devil.
Unofficially, Taehyun from three years ago.
Officially, Yoo Ah-young did that not long ago.
They might all be proud of the fact that they are new Koreans, but they are all currently unable to be active.
Tae-hyeon went missing, and Yoo Ah-young’s treatment took longer than expected, so she had to spend a full week in the intensive care unit.
‘It’s worse than I thought.’
The situation would be no different in India, where Kwak Si-yang was dispatched.
“I have no intention of forcing you. However, for the survival of their country. “I plan to go in alone.”
Su Jinchang showed his determination.
Currently in Taiwan, it is not surprising that the capital is paralyzed.
If the dungeon was not prevented here, the country’s existence could face a crisis due to China’s future intervention.
“I’m here to help anyway, so I plan to do my duty as a player. So don’t worry.”
“Thank you. “I am grateful for New Korea’s friendship.”
This is when the two players are in the middle of a conversation.
A new gate opened next to Park Seong-jin.
What appeared was Tsurara Yoshikawa, a saint with an unexpected face, and the 20 healers she led.
“This is a face I didn’t expect.”
Seongjin Park said without hiding his true feelings.
Looking at Su Jinchang’s expression, it seemed like he knew she would come.
“It’s been a while. Player Park Seong-jin.”
The saintess who had completely crossed the gate greeted me lightly.
“Wasn’t Japan watching China?”
Seongjin Park awkwardly greeted her.
The international situation has been reorganized since Taehyun disappeared.
Among them, Japan was in an unstable tug-of-war with the Federation of China, despite being part of the World Players’ Association led by the United States.
It is to seek practical benefit between the two great powers.
I can understand up to this point, but the problem is that they are targeting the P50 and making it hostile.
It was something Taehyun couldn’t have done if he were still alive.
As a result, Japan had recovered its former status to some extent.
“Please don’t look at me like that. “I had no choice but to do it for the good of my country.”
The saint said with a kind smile.
“If you’re going to help, help properly. “I despise opportunists like my black rats.”
“You are saying too much. “There is no one in the new Korea who can give me orders.”
The saint did not lose and fought back.
He emphasized a smile containing a warning that you cannot be a threat to the nation’s power.
“They should have sent guild leader Yoo Ah-young instead of me.”
At those words, the saintess’s body flinched for just a moment.
Park Seong-jin turned his head to Su Jinchang, thinking that her influence was still effective.
Su Jinchang, who needed help from both countries, was watching with a perplexed expression.
As if to soothe his worries, the saint smiled a different smile from Park Seong-jin.
“There is nothing to worry about. “I can also distinguish between public and private life.”
“Thank you. “I was just explaining the situation in my country, so please listen along.”
After a while.
Players from New Korea, Japan, and Taiwan entered the SSS+ level.
‘The great devil.’
Park Seong-jin strengthened the hand holding his beloved sword, Raseonchilji.
The one who brought him to the brink of death three years ago, and the one who recently brought the nation’s powerhouses to a near-death state.
The saint’s presence alone was like adding a few more lives, but he had no intention of giving it up easily.
A life-threatening situation would be good for breaking down walls and growing.
That was why I volunteered to support Taiwan despite the risks.
‘A new wall must be overcome.’
That’s when I was thinking about it.
In my head, I could clearly hear the monster’s voice, which I had started hearing occasionally.
[Welcome to the realm of the original demon, bugs.]
With a welcome from the great devil Vanessa.
The atmosphere of the area has changed.
* * *
Beijing, China.
Liu Shibo was constantly receiving reports.
“It is said that aid from New Korea and Japan has arrived in Taiwan. “I think I’ll try to conquer the dungeon today.”
“New Korea’s support has also arrived in India. “I think we will begin raiding the dungeon as soon as support from the United States and two other countries arrives.”
Normally, I would have frowned at New Korea’s intervention.
For now, it was just nice to hear.
“Hehehe. “Isn’t this a strategy that will fail anyway?”
Liu Shibo thought about his accomplishments.
Those who came through the gate he opened were four great devils.
Instead of Diablo’s horn, what he used as a medium was his own body.
It is a bonus that the awakening grade, which had always remained at S grade, has grown to SS.
With just one Jordiac, ten national power workers had to risk their lives.
Two of those great evils were sent to Taiwan and India.
Now all that was left was New Korea.
“It is time for a small nation to pay the price for daring to pretend to be a great nation.”
The two great devils who were secretly waiting in the basement of the association were heading to New Korea.
No matter how much Yoo Ah-young is, he won’t be able to deal with two great demons at the same time.
She would eventually die from the attacks of great demons who had no control over what was going on, but it was no longer the time to show off petty desires.
‘The great country is mine.’
There was no communication from the president.
Since the Great Demons will only follow Liu Shibo, the subject of their summons, there is no need to be swayed by him or hide his ambitions.
‘How long did you think I would be the sword you wield?’
Liu Shibo went down to the basement of the association.
The magic power emitted by the two great devils took my breath away.
“I have prepared a meal for the two great devils.”
He nodded towards the chief secretary.
Quaaaaaaaaa.
A huge gate was created in front of me.
“Savage things. One meal would not be enough. “I hope you enjoy it to your heart’s content.”
The two great devils chuckled at Liu Shibo’s flattery for a moment.
A huge being entered the gate leading to New Korea.
* * *
New Korea Players Association headquarters.
“It appears that China is involved.”
“To be exact, it would be Association President Ryusbo.”
Ji Jin-hee spoke confidently in response to Jae-jun Lee’s report.
A large gate that appeared at the Players Association headquarters.
Two great devils appeared through the gate.
In the opinion of Ji Jin-hee, who witnessed the events at the conference hall with her own eyes, the situation between Taiwan and India and New Korea was very complicated.
“I guess it means they were so cornered that they would do something even if they didn’t have horns.”
“Or maybe he was just trying to get his horn back. In any case, you must quickly evacuate. “The S-rank players are buying time, but… it’s dangerous here too.”
“No. If the Great Devil is your opponent, you won’t even be able to rank S. “Beat the players.”
“If you do that….”
“I guess there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Yoo Ah-young, who is at full strength, is still in the intensive care unit.
Currently, the only SS-level players available are Ji Jin-hee and Kwon Kang-hyuk.
Yoo Ah-young is in a state where she absolutely must rest.
“Don’t you need time to mourn your younger brother’s death?”
Even if we don’t get along well.
Even if they are half-brothers.
Lim Ah-young’s death must have been quite a wound to her.
I was planning on handling this matter on my own.
“President of the Association. “Guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk has arrived.”
“Not bad timing. “I’ll leave the rest to you.”
Ji Jin-hee, who said so, put on her armor one by one.
3 years ago.
It was a unique grade item made from the scales of a dragon tribe elder that Taehyeon entrusted to Seo Sangik.
If it survives, it will surpass stagnant growth; if it doesn’t.
“You will die.”
Ji Jin-hee muttered calmly.
3 years.
The seeds Taehyun planted helped New Korea grow in a good way.
I couldn’t just lose them to the Great Devil or something.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely protect the results.”
That’s something I haven’t seen in years.
It was a promise similar to mourning for a player.
