Chapter 182 – Allies and Outcasts
Shelter in district 32 in southern Seoul.
While the battle between monsters and hunters is fierce on the ground,
The Constitutional Commission was arguing loudly about how to close the gap in the ceiling.
“All you have to do is block the hole with the corpse of the monster and add a defense item.”
The members of the lawmakers who were in the middle of the day gave their opinions.
The corpse of an S+-class monster was an excellent barrier in itself.
Adding an item to it seemed like it would easily close that hole.
Zero, zero.
While trying to mobilize personal bodyguards to move the monster’s corpse and install defense items.
Wriggling wriggling.
The monster’s corpse moved slightly.
Gweeck.
Another monster vomited from the beak of a bird of prey.
It was a chimera within a chimera.
I didn’t see Lee Si-hu, who passed by after destroying the magic stone.
To think there would be another monster in here.
Ehehe.
A chimera appeared at the shelter covered in black blood.
[A parasitic orc (S-class monster) that ate the host’s body]
It was a slippery, two-meter tall orc.
It was absolutely not normal orcs to have their arms stretched and shrunk.
“It’s a monster!”
“Hey!”
“Do not panic!”
Among the frightened people, Jeon Yong-gyun opened his eyes and stared at the parasitic orc.
They had strong hunters, such as Congressman Kim’s son (A-Class Hunter), Chairman Nam’s daughter (A-Class Hunter), and Congressman Yoon’s son (S-Class Hunter) as escorts.
Hunters who, under the pretext of personal security, did not participate in dangerous outdoor battles and were kept aside as shelters.
It was time for them to act.
Isn’t it common sense that S-rank hunters and other A-rank hunters can easily win against S-rank monsters?
“Our children will solve it, how are the hunters raised?”
Hunters who have been raised with elite education without sparing support since they were young.
They were the staunch children of lawmakers.
Even if the world perishes, if they protect them, they will be safe for now.
The Constitutional Court believed so.
“What is it, an S-class monster?”
“Even a hero is so incompetent, missing a monster.”
“What kind of S-class monster is an orc?”
The hunters who were checking information about the orcs through the status window laughed.
Congressman Kim’s son, Chairman Nam’s daughter, Congressman Yoon’s son, and so on.
They did not cooperate in the battle outside and hid together in the shelter, but in terms of the Hunter class, they were about the same as an S-class monster.
The son of Congressman Yoon, an S-class hunter, stepped forward.
“Did I say you were A-class hunters? Support me by your side.”
“Leave the support to us.”
Hunters who quickly form a battle formation.
The tank was in the front, the swordsman on the side, and the healer and mage were in the back.
Seeing their children proudly come forward, the lawmakers smiled with satisfaction.
The time has come for the sons who have been cherished by feeding expensive elixirs and attaching private tutors to show their strength.
“Goes!”
Congressman Yoon’s son used a dazzling skill.
A skill with thick magic enough to lightly cut down an S-rank monster.
I cut off the Chimera’s wrist.
I’m sorry.
However, the Chimera quickly regenerated her wrists and extended her fist to Senator Yoon’s son.
Kujik!
Commissioner Kim’s son, a tanker, blocked it.
Subsequently, Chairman Nam’s daughter used magic on the Chimera.
The shoulder was briefly destroyed by magic, but the slippery orc quickly regenerated and attacked again.
Commissioner Kim’s son, a tanker, blocked it again with a shield.
“What are you doing, you can’t take care of it quickly!”
Commissioner Kim’s son had a temper.
The orc was only 2 meters tall, but it was difficult to block the attack as if it was an S class.
He was holding out with an S-class shield, but I don’t know when the defense will be released.
“Hey, Yoon Won-tae. Why can’t you beat a single orc?”
“What is your magic, Nam Hye-won! It doesn’t work at all!”
“Ahh! Healing, Healing! Healing!”
“Wait a minute! I haven’t gathered my mana yet!”
The party was a piece of shit.
The level of these is lower than the grade, and the sum is worse.
“Rep. Yoon, what is that? Didn’t you brag so much that your son was an S-class hunter?”
“President Nam! Wasn’t your daughter rumored to be an unsalted genius wizard?”
“What are you doing! This will kill my son!”
“When does that healer use healing?”
The voices of legislators grew louder.
Hunters who were gaining fame by secretly raising their grades, registering them, and painting only high-end items.
This is where my skills came into play.
As long as they are compatible with each other, it will be fine.
Hunters with strong backgrounds and high noses have always hunted for themselves.
“Oops!”
The son of Commissioner Kim, an A-class hunter who endured with his shield teeth, collapsed, and the son of Congressman Yoon, who used only skills that seemed plausible but lacked substance, had his head smashed.
Chairman Nam’s daughter had her heart pierced, and Chairman Park’s daughter, who had not been able to use proper healing even once, also lay down on her floor.
“No, how can a party made up of S and A ranks not catch a single S-rank monster!”
Jeon Yong-gyun shouted out loud as if he was unfair.
If I knew it would be like this, I should have had proper hunters instead of the children of the constitutional committee.
I can’t believe this situation.
Chimera easily defeated the bodyguards following the hunters.
The shelter was soon covered with blood and screams.
Members of Congress looked for a place to run away.
However, the opponent was an S-class monster that was much more agile than the average person, and District 32 in southern Seoul was filled with monsters coming from all directions, making it a battlefield.
“Frail! How is this stupid president of the association doing things! The warrior! Where is the warrior! That guy is a problem too!”
Jeon Yong-gyun, who cursed others until the end, was followed by a chimera.
There was no one left to protect him.
Jeon Yong-gyun, who blames everyone.
Her neck was broken by the chimera and she couldn’t make any more noise.

Naval base in the southern part of Jeju Island.
I arrived here by riding a rift with my party members.
Shin Jun-ho, whom we had built a relationship with when attacking Siren Field, greeted us at his office.
“All Master Chunun, you came.”
Messy hair, messy beard.
He had a gloomy impression as always, but he greeted him brightly.
“Is it okay for me, an outcast, to come?”
“The world is going to end, who cares whether it is an outcast or not.”
He answered my question with a simple smile.
Originally, I was a hunter who followed Jae-Hoon Hong, and I am familiar with him, so I believe that I would not have committed a crime like rumors.
The Hunter Association was integrated into the Korea Hunter Association, and he received a new position and guarded the southern coast.
They gladly accepted me and the party members into the base.
“Are you okay here?”
“It is said that an S-class crack has burst in Mokpo, Jeollanam-do. The other rifts are somehow blocked, but that one can’t be defended.”
Shin Jun-ho covered his head as if he was in trouble.
He thought he handled it well, but the enemy’s attack was too strong.
I couldn’t afford to stop the newly appeared S-class rift.
“I will clear that side and come back. Estrote, can you go to Mokpo too?”
“Yes, master. It can open a rift in close quarters.”
Decided to quickly close the rift.
Coincidentally, there is a terrain that I know near Estrote.
She is a demon who can open portals all over the world.
We moved everywhere in an instant.
“Chunwoon, are you closing the cracks? You’re an outcast, so you’re no longer a Korean hunter, are you?”
“What does the outcast do? The country I love is going to ruin.”
I followed his tone and spoke in a light voice.
Hearing the answer, Shin Jun-ho smiled.
“I really think this country is crazy for expelling you.”
“Who would have known that? It is only when disaster strikes that you regret it.”
No one would have known that the allied forces were this strong.
So no matter how much we warned them of their danger, they closed their eyes and ears and blamed the demons.
They kicked the opportunity, but they couldn’t help it.
Responsibility is shared anyway.
When the world perishes, we all die together.
We should join forces even now.
I opened the rift and left to defend Mokpo.
*
A safe area in the 26th district in northern Seoul.
The weak was trembling with anxiety here.
Urgent reports keep coming in.
“You weak man! The defense line of the 45th district in eastern Seoul has been breached!”
“Urgent help is requested from the 39th district in the eastern part of Seoul!”
“Another class A crack occurred in the northeastern part of Gyeonggi!”
…
The sound of the country being destroyed came in real time.
A powerful army of monsters that had never been seen before came pouring out from the large cracks that burst out in both the danger zone and the safety zone.
They sweep across the country.
Defensive lines breached, armies annihilated, retreated, evacuated.
The territory of humans was reduced, and the land trampled by monsters increased.
An unprecedented situation.
It would normally cause a stir if an A-rank or lower monster only appeared somewhere in the safe zone of Seoul.
Now, even if S+ level monsters fly in the sky, no one can say anything.
People in despair.
Most of the citizens were hiding in the corners of the house, just hoping that this was a dream.
In fact, I hoped that even if I was weak, this would be a dream.
A nightmare that came unexpectedly.
I hope that if you come to your senses after suffering for a while, this fear will all fly away along with a cold sweat.
I prayed so.
But the cold reality.
This is not a dream, and all the monsters trampling on Korea were the truth.
I received the report with a half-fazed face.
“Defense function of Daejeon Metropolitan City is virtually lost.”
“An army of monsters is passing by.”
“The whole area of Suwon is groaning due to enemy invasion.”
“Three B-class cracks burst simultaneously.”
…
There were so many things to be surprised about, it was rather calm.
They told citizens across the country to evacuate to a safe place and cut off contact.
‘Cause you can’t do anything
Irresponsibly believes that the hunters in each city will cheer up.
There were things more important than that now.
“Pyongyang Control Area S+ Class Crack!”
“All troops from the nearby outposts are retreating.”
“Monsters from the S+ class rift are invading Seoul!”
“Oh My God! They are Legion! The monsters from the surrounding rifts merge!”
“The route doesn’t change! The target is obviously Seoul!”
An army of monsters was attacking.
Monsters that came out of an S+ class rift.
The Chimera Legion formed a rank and headed for Seoul.
How do you move like this
As if something controls them.
The monsters were uniting and destroying the world.
Allied forces.
Did this mean
Like enemies united to destroy the world.
Its strength and bizarreness are so frightening that it makes you vomit.
“The line of defense against monsters at 38 degrees north latitude is collapsing!”
“The North Gyeonggi vs. Monster defense line is collapsing!”
“The Northern Gyeonggi Hunter Union Headquarters will collapse!”
“Drop the magic bomb! But all the newest fighter types are being destroyed!”
The correspondent who delivered the report was crying.
I tried to mobilize all the power of the country, but it didn’t work for that corps.
S+ class cracks like Chinese cracks.
Chimera army led by a mage.
Also appeared in Korea.
It merges with the surrounding cracks to increase its number, and it comes down like a wave that will swallow Seoul at once.
“Gather all the rankers around you. Build barricades and collect defense items. If the defenses of northern Seoul are breached, this country is truly finished.”
The weak said in a somber voice.
There were no options.
My limbs were shaking, but this was something someone had to do.
If we can’t stop that corps, Korea will end today.
I had to gather all my troops to stop the wizard corps.
Numerous traps were set up in northern Seoul, and hunters and soldiers were randomly called and gathered in one place.
“Frail, are you okay?”
Hong Jae-hoon was among the hunters who responded to the call.
After being indicted, he repeatedly went through court battles and erupted into two doors at his home.
When the world fell into crisis, he was the first to jump out and fight monsters.
I see Hong Jae-hoon and the hunters who joined the defense line in northern Seoul following him.
They were all hunters who were criticized and condemned by the weak and the Constitutional Commission.
“I was wrong, President. I am really sorry for all this time.”
The weak fell on his face in front of him and put his head on the ground.
I had no excuses whatsoever.
He expelled heavenly fortune and dismissed the words of the demons as lies.
He framed Hong Jae-hoon and removed him from the post of president of the association.
Now, the fate of the country is at stake.
I confessed my sins and wanted him to help.
He wept and begged for his life.
