Chapter 124: Wrath: Idiotic Plan

Exactly four hours had passed after the four Red Gates opened. And in that time span, the number of monsters that came out had reached 1600. Meanwhile, there were only 200 hunters ready in the field. That included nine S-rank hunters and one Apex-ranked hunter.

The damage was still under control and could still get minimized in the area of the four districts alone.

Hyun-bin left Yongsan district’s affairs to Jo-hyun and went after the Dungeon Owner himself. However, the result was fruitless.

The Dungeon Owner’s Mana hiding ability was too good. Hyun-bin, as an Apex-rank, also had trouble tracking down the creature’s whereabouts.

On the Yongsan district side, the creatures that overwhelmed the hunters were the Devil Baboons. They were the same size as humans. However, what set the beasts apart were their large bodies and their wearing red armor.

Even though the creatures fought without any weapons, their attacks were even more severe than the white wolves in the Mapo district. Every hit from the Devil Baboon required extra effort to be parried or blocked. If it managed to penetrate, then the bones and internal organs of the hunters would get quite severely injured because of it.

The S-rank hunter, Bae Jo-hyun that got assigned the task by Hyun-bin, also had a hard time pushing back the Devil Baboons. Red armor had a high level of immunity to all magic elements. So, killing those beasts required teamwork with hunters who have sharp magic weapons.

It was a truly tiring endeavor. It was because every time the hunters managed to get close to launch a deadly attack, the Devil Baboons would immediately throw heavy blows at them. Luckily, Jo-hyun was always there when it happened. She used great magic that was able to thwart the fierce hits from the beasts.

Again, numbers play an essential role in the fight. The hunters were utterly overwhelmed by the beasts whose blows could shake the surrounding ground in just one swing of an arm.

Meanwhile, the Monkey King, the Dungeon Owner of the Red Gate in Yongsan district, had long since fled from the scene. The creature’s speed was too fast even though it was clearly below Hyun-bin’s level.

It seemed the situation in Yongsan district was worse than Mapo district.

Elsewhere, in Jongno district.

Chief Lee, along with the head of the Demigod guild Cho Gang-ho was also having trouble dealing with the endless army of skeletons from the Red Gate.

Destroying the skeletons was not a complex matter for Gang-ho or Chief Lee. However, the sheer number of them made it impossible to slay in one hit.

Moreover, Chief Lee and Gang-ho fought while saving the low-ranking hunters from dying in vain. And what was even more troublesome was the necessity to eradicate the bones until they were not left at all. If not, then the remains of those bones would fuse to form a new skeleton. In the end, being scorched was the only way.

Gang-ho ultimately chose to go after the Red Gate Dungeon Owner himself. He made his decision after an hour of observing and battling the skeleton soldiers.

Those creatures did not have great strength or solid defense. So, the A-rank hunters should be enough to lead the team to hold off the skeleton troops. The only problem was that a seemingly unlimited number came out of the Red Gate.

It would be dangerous if the hunters were exhausted. But, the solution was clearly to close the Red Gate as fast as Gang-ho could.

The owner of the Dungeon was an Undead Knight from hell who rode a fire horse. Unlike the Werewolf and the Monkey King, the creature’s strength was almost on par with an S-rank hunter.

But that baffled Gang-ho. If the Undead Knight decided to fight alongside the skeleton troops, then the possibility of hunters losing was pretty high. In fact, the Dungeon Owner had run away from his minions instead of following that idea.

What was the reason?

To leave the Red Gate open any longer? Wouldn’t it get more comfortable if the hunters lost and there was nothing to prevent the Red Gate creatures from invading the humans?

The situation in Jongno district looked easier than Mapo district and Yongsan district. On the other hand, it was even more complicated than those two areas.

Meanwhile, in the last place, Dongdaemun district. There were two S-rank hunters present, namely Seo Ji-soo and Seol In-ah. The two of them were deputy heads of the Artates and Demigod guilds.

They got confronted by the beasts that had the ability to fly. It made the situation more complicated and intricate than the previous three districts. Most magic spells were unable to reach a certain height to reach the Demonic Bats. And to make matters worse, many beasts had come out of the hunter defense perimeter for the Red Gate.

It left the two S-rank hunters with no luxury time to pursue the Dungeon Owner, the Night Hunter.

Those beasts flying in the sky of Dongdaemun were notably intricate to kill. It gave the hunters a headache from steadily escaping and exiting the district zone.

As a countermeasure, both Ji-soo and In-ah would go outside and hunt down the escaped Demonic Bats while the remaining hunters would deal with the flying beasts near the Red Gate.

The four places didn’t seem to show any signs that the matter would get resolved in a short time from the current state of affairs. But, unless the high-ranking hunters managed to find the Dungeon Owner before things got out of hand.

It was a stalemate for the next hour. Several hunters all over Seoul were already showing signs of giving up after fighting for more than four hours. And there was no indication that the Red Gate would get close soon.

In the Mapo district, Chairman Yu gritted his teeth. The Silver Wolves were endlessly coming out of the Red Gate. Meanwhile, the hunters’ reinforcements that came were not comparable to the number of creatures that came out of it.

Chairman Yu looked at the hunters, who were sitting and lying down, exhausted and injured.

Chairman Yu had just got informed by his personnel that the number of creatures coming out of the four Red Gates was estimated to be around 2000. And new reinforcements for the hunters were on their way.

Helicopters from the Hunters Association and the army got deployed to take the new hunters to the isolation zone.

“What about the other S-rank hunters? Are anyone on their way here and the other three places?”

“There is, sir. Oh Dal-shik~nim, the headmaster of the Shadow guild, is on his way here. Meanwhile, Jo Pil-suk~nim and Cho Jin-woon~nim went to Dongdaemun-Gu, because the flying beasts were not easy for Seo Ji-soo~nim and Seol In-ah~nim to handle. And lastly is Han Tae-so~nim, he is heading to Yongsan-Gu.”

Chairman Yu nodded his head at his personnel’s report.

Currently, each exit to the evacuation site got guarded by one S-rank hunter each. Near Mapo was Oh Dal-soo, near Yongsan was Jo In-sung, near Jongno was Kwon Ji-yong, and near Dongdaemun was Lee Dong-hae.

With that, all the S-rank hunters from South Korea’s top three guilds were all in the field. And the remaining four other S-rank hunters who weren’t from the three guilds were outside of Seoul. Two of them refused to help while the other two were busy with their respective guild affairs.

Chairman Yu understood that. He knew some S-rank hunters were hard to ask for help. For them, personal interests were more important than a country. He didn’t care about that matter, as long as those S-rank hunters and their guild did not commit crimes against other hunters or ordinary people. He could still tolerate it.

It was because the rule was not to riot under the supervision of the Hunter’s Association in exchange for a guild permit. To help when asked was solely not an obligation.

Chairman Yu mustered all his Mana to exterminate the white wolves wearing gold armor while waiting for Dal-shik’s arrival.

Meanwhile, in a building near the Mapo Red Gate and the exit to the evacuation site, it looked like some hunters were looting valuables and money.

“Hyung~nim, are you sure it’s okay to do this? What if the Hunter’s Association finds out?”

“You idiot! It’s precisely at times like this that our opportunity exists. The Hunter Association won’t know because they are busy taking care of those monsters. This time is completely different from the previous Red Gate incident.”

Suddenly, the hunter who was leading the looting group was startled as he looked out the window. He saw a werewolf walking down a small alley behind the building.

“We’ll follow that creature.”

“Hyung~nim, why are we looking for death? It’s better if we only take these things.”

“Stupid! Can’t you see what he’s carrying? It’s a Spatial Bag worth billions!”

“Wow!”

“Is that true?!”

“Of course!”

“But how do we steal it? We’re just lower-rank hunters.”

Haha–

“Nearby, there is a place where hunters gather. We follow him and let them fight. When the opportunity arises, then we take it from the creature.”

“Good idea, Hyung~nim!”

“Brilliant plan!”
