Chapter 135: Wrath: What the Other Side Wants
Ji-woo pushed the headless corpse with his finger and fell to the floor. And pay attention to the Spatial Bag that was beside the corpse.
‘Isn’t a spatial item a rare magic item? Why is it here again? Moreover, in a public place like this!?’
This was the second time Ji-woo had found the Spatial Bag after he previously obtained the magic item during the 20 Red Gate incident.
Was the Spatial Bag a leaf that could get found easily and anywhere?
In the end, Ji-woo took the Spatial Bag and went around the Mapo district. Two quite expensive magic items were in his hands. Meanwhile, he himself only needed one. If it had been a Spatial Ring, he would definitely have kept it without thinking or considering selling it.
The Mapo District was certain to be safe from the Red Gate and especially from the threat of those beasts. The remaining dozens that might be wandering around would definitely get exterminated before the blockade got lifted later.
Meanwhile in the Yongsan district, Jo-hyun and Tae-so have the reinforcements of two S-rank hunters. It was Chairman Yu and Dal-soo.
Dal-soo was chosen because he is a true healer. In that war situation, the presence of a healer was very important. Moreover, his rank was the highest in the country of South Korea.
With four S-rank hunters, facing those thousands of Devil Baboons was manageable. And coupled with a few additional A-rank hunters, they were able to take care of it.
The things that made the S-ranked hunters having a hard time killing the Devil Baboons was the creature’s raw strength comparable to them.
The beasts really knew how to use their advantage against the hunters. The Devil Baboons never use a magic spell even once before. But, their Mana used to go all out and invested in their physical strength.
That was why the casualties in Yongsan district were quite high compared to Mapo’s. Even Jo-hyun and Tae-so were only able to kill a few of them.
Now, with Chairman Yu and Dal-soo restricted the beasts’ movement, Jo-hyun and Tae-ho finally have an easy time to delivered the deadly blow.
Meanwhile, it took the four S-rank hunters longer to kill all of the beasts in the Red Gate’s area. In the end, the number of Devil Baboons decreased drastically after such a harsh long battle between those S-ranked hunters and the beasts.
“I will go to the Yongsan district exit. The three of you, try to stay here longer and wait until the Red Gate is gone. With this kind of number, it will be easy to handle.” Chairman Yu told Dal-soo, Jo-hyun, and Tae-so.
Next the four S-ranked hunters splitted into two teams. Ones stayed and fought the remaining Devil Baboons near the Red Gate while the others were to check the possibility of breaching.
“Don’t worry about Hyun-bin. Sooner, he will handle the Dungeon Owner.”
Jo-hyun nodded her head to what Chairman Yu had said. Eventually, those words were not just empty words for her. It was not just a mere comfort thing to make her not worry. But, she believed her guild headmaster would be able to kill the Dungeon Owner for sure.
And not long after Chairman Yu went toward the Yongsan district exit, the Red Gate faded away and the three S-ranked hunters delighted when they saw that.
With that, two Red Gates that brought unimaginable damage to Seoul were gone.
Dal-soo, Jo-hyun, and Tae-so could relax a little bit seeing the number of those beasts wouldn’t get increased anymore. They quickly exterminated the rest of the Devil Baboons.
When the last of Devil Baboons had fallen, all of the hunters that were present near the Red Gate cheered up to the sky, expressing their joy to be able to successfully defend and kill all those beasts.
However, there was no rest for the hunters. Dal-soo immediately ordered them to scatter around the district to spot if there any Devil Baboons were roaming and luring in the city.
The three S-ranked hunters also accompanied those hunters when surveying the area. They couldn’t let the lower rank hunters carelessly fight the Devil Baboons, even though their number was not as many as before.
Devil Baboon’s individual strength was really unmatched against several A-rank hunters. Since the Red Gate disappeared, It was unnecessary to let the lower hunters die one sidedly.
Chairman Yu arrived at the Yongsan district exit. He saw that In-sung was there.
“Did any beasts breach the blockade?”
“No, Hyung~nim.”
“How many were here before?”
“There were only dozens of them coming here.”
Chairman Yu frowned upon hearing those words. It meant the remaining Devil Baboons were still inside the city. They were lurking around or hiding for an opportunity?
“There were no casualties, right? Whether the hunters or civilians?
“No.”
“Leave the exit with those hunters on the back. And we will go toward the Jongno district.”
In-sung narrowed his eyes after hearing Chairman Yu’s order. “How about the Devil Baboons? If dozens of them were coming here, those hunters and the blockade would not be able to hold them.”
“Dal-soo just told me that the Red Gate has disappeared. Then, he, Jo-hyun and Tae-so explore the area to exterminate the remains of the beast. If my opinion is correct, then what Dal-soo and the others did is right. In my opinion, those Devil Baboons don’t know how to get out of the Seoul blockade.”
In-sung showed his confusion and inquiry furthermore about what Chairman Yu said.
“In Mapo, the white wolves only came to the exit because they were herded by the Dungeon Owner. And you just said there were only dozens. You know how many there were when Dal-soo and I came? A thousand! And Jo-hyun said there were hundreds who had already escaped the Red Gate’s defensive perimeter.”
It was indeed a strange thing after hearing what Chairman Yu said. Hundreds of beasts escaped, but only dozens came. That meant, there were others, who didn’t go to the exit and were either hiding or were running amok elsewhere.
It could be that the Devil Baboons were traps or they didn’t even know about blockades at all. However, the beasts that possessed intelligence were the ones that could speak. And the ones with different Mana from the usual beasts. So, the latter theory seemed correct.
“Don’t forget, Hyun-bin is here. If the Red Gate is gone, it means he’s already killed the Dungeon Owner and is still in the Yongsan area.”
“Three S-rank hunters and one Apex-ranked hunter. I guess that’s enough to deal with the rest of the Devil Baboons, who can’t even rely on their numbers anymore.”
That was right, In-sung was too oblivious to the presence of Hyun-bin, their Apex-ranked hunter. Finally, he and Chairman Yu swiftly made their way to the Jongno district and met with Chief Lee. They also know that Gang-ho attacked the Dungeon Owner alone.In fact, that being was thought to be the strongest among the four Dungeons of the four Red Gates.
After a few moments of watching the war between the skeleton army and the hunters, something was missed. It was true that those skeletons always died easily. However, the number of those skeletons according to Chairman Yu was the highest as far as he came to provide assistance after the two districts.
And with the numbers that were dozens more than the hunters. Now, began to be able to give sword cuts to the hunters, including Chief Lee. However, Chairman Yu unceremoniously also directly annihilated the skeletons. He also sent In-sung off to catch up with Gang-ho, the headmaster of the Demigod guild.
Chairman Yu felt uneasy at the thought of Gang-ho’s one-on-one battle with the Undead Knight. Previously, he had received reports about how powerful the fire magic was. And from that, the watchdog hunters who reported the reports said that magic and raw power were on par with S-rank hunters.
It was an enemy that at least two S-rank hunters had to face, according to Chairman Yu.
The Dungeon owner was a troublemaker and in the Dongdaemun district, there were problematic beasts.
Those were the Demonic Bats. At the Dongdaemun district’s exit, there were five S-rank hunters. However, they could not reduce the number of those beasts. Fighting in the air was very difficult for the hunters.
Moreover, the situation was night, the more difficult it was to aim at the beasts. They needed a hunter who could restrain the Demonic Bats’ pace or movement.
The five hunters were ferocious attacker types who have a lot of magic with painful damage. However, no one knew magic about restraining and stopping movement. As a result, when their attacks didn’t work, they had a hard time dealing with the enemy.
Meanwhile, the Night Hunter was just observing the fight between the Demonic Bats and the hunters with the highest Mana pool in there. So far, he knew a way to make those hunters fall on their knees.
It was worth using those Demonic Bats to circle around the Dongdaemun district exit rather than go outside and chase the weakling humans.
The inhabitants of Redredrane, the Sanctum of the Dead, have long occupied the Universe Gateway to cross over to earth, but have never succeeded in conquering the world. In fact, literally, the creatures from Redredrane were good Mana Users and have been familiar for hundreds of years.
