Chapter 184 – The Best Hunter in Korea
District 26, northern Seoul.
The surrounding roads were blown up, making the terrain difficult for Chimeras to pass through.
The only way an army of monsters can pass.
The central passage was left open, and all sorts of traps were set.
Even if the Chimera advances through the trap, the magic corps is placed in a fan shape centered on the narrow passage to make concentrated interception possible.
A defense line that was set up with the best effort within a short period of time.
The Korean Hunter Union held their breath and waited for the enemy’s attack.
“He is coming.”
On the outskirts of the city, on the roof of the tallest building.
Hong Jae-hoon stood here and looked at the wizard army in the distance.
A group of black people holding blue flags gather under a clouded sky.
Chimeras filling the horizon like black waves.
The number exceeded ten thousand.
Since there were over 3,000 S+-class Chimeras alone, there were countless S-class monsters.
If that troop passes through here, Seoul is doomed.
It will be difficult for Seoul and Korea to make a comeback any longer.
Jaehoon Hong bit his lips tightly.
Can’t back down
Even at the risk of annihilation, they had to be stopped here.
He told all troops awaiting the order to fire to stand by.
When the enemy comes within range, the battle begins all at once.
Kyeek.
Kieheaek-
The Chimeras hesitate for a moment in front of the barricades built by the Korea Hunters Association.
I wanted to stop moving forward, perhaps feeling the calm and tense atmosphere,
Soon, he roared without hesitation and raised his momentum.
I slammed into the barricade and charged, jumping over terrain that was not easy to pass due to the sunken floor.
The enemy’s focus was on the central road that was deliberately left open.
Huge chimeras burst through the open road under the pressure of the surroundings.
But it’s a trap.
As soon as their feet touch the ground, they fall headlong into the pit.
Chimeras piled, piled, and piled on top of the pit to fill the cavity.
They wriggle, trample on each other, and kick each other as they come up.
Hong Jae-hoon, who watched the enemy pile up, gave instructions.
“The bombardment begins.”
“Start bombardment!”
“Start bombardment!”
A repeated beep as his command is given.
The magic corps fired magic bullets all at once.
Thud! Kugoong! Whoops!
The magic cannon is practically the only means for the army to fight monsters.
Detonate bombs full of magical energy at monsters.
Enemies with high physical defense had no choice but to use magical weapons rather than firearms.
Kigege!
Kiek!
Explosions resound like thunder, the ground vibrates, and the Chimeras scream as if they are tearing apart.
There were enemies who moved while enduring the magic explosion.
A high-ranking Chimera of S-rank or higher.
They even withstand magic bullets.
He raised his head and roared in the heightened heat of the battlefield.
The chimeras of flying species that emerge simultaneously.
The flying monsters heard the gunfire and bounced in all directions.
Jump over the barricade and soar into the air.
Kiek!
Aww!
From a distance, it seems that the migratory birds are floating all at once.
Enemies that the magic corps could not stop were infiltrating.
Now is the time for Hunter to act.
The rankers took the lead in stopping the high-level Chimeras advancing through the magic shells.
The Chimera floated in the sky, and gunners deployed everywhere were sniping at it.
Mage, Archer, Magician.
Hunters who can attack from a distance hit the chimeras in the air with their skills and knock them down.
Colorful magic stems stretched out into the sky like a beam and pierced the enemy.
Even so, the black wave does not stop.
More than the number of deaths, chimeras come in droves.
He jumped over the corpse, crossed the mana saturation net, and emitted mana.
“I have to join the fight too.”
Hong Jae-hoon, who was looking at the battlefield from the rooftop, took off his coat.
The enemy and the allies are mixed, and the battle is heading into a melee.
Rankers will have to participate in the fight in earnest.
Already on one side of the battlefield, the hero was cutting through dozens of enemies at once with the support of the saintess.

After milking, I returned to the naval base in southern Jeju Island through the crack.
As soon as Shin Jun-ho saw us, he jumped up from his seat.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, but do you have any urgent business?”
A face that is more pale than when we went to break the S-class rift in the southwestern part of Jeollanam-do.
Dark circles have sunk deeper.
He is a man who seems to embody melancholy.
“Hong Jae-hun called me urgently. When Cheonwoon comes, he asks me to come to Seoul right away.”
“Seoul? If you go over there, you will be kicked out as an outcast.”
“It doesn’t matter now! An S+ class rift broke out in the control area of Pyongyang! An army of chimeras is descending on Seoul!”
Shin Jun-ho hurriedly explains the seriousness of the situation.
I heard about the incident in Seoul.
As if the enemy’s target is Seoul, the enemies from the S+ class rift are advancing straight ahead.
The wizard corps has already reached a different situation.
It was an outcast or something, and help was urgent right away.
Hong Jae-hoon also participated in the front line again after receiving an apology from Yu Yak-han.
“S+ class rifts, an army targeting Seoul and coming down.”
What I feared happened.
The S-class rift was the branch of the Blue Magic Tower.
Enemies from that S+ class rift are probably the main ones.
The blue tower wizard might be mixed in.
“Can I get in touch with the president of the association now?”
“No, we are building a defensive wall in District 26 in northern Seoul and responding to the enemy.”
“This is an emergency.”
“Yes.”
Shin Joon-ho is restless.
Seoul is in such a crisis right now.
“Estrothe, can you open a rift near northern Seoul?”
“Master, to get to District 26, you will have to fly through the rift in District 24.”
Estrothe didn’t remember all the spaces.
It moves to the nearest contact point and flies from there.
After setting a goal, he opened a rift to Seoul.
“Cheonwoon-nim, please protect Seoul. If it is you, you will be able to protect everyone.”
Shin Jun-ho said with hard eyes to us who were about to enter the rift.
He was guarding the southern shores, but he knew how serious his case was.
And I knew how strong our party was.
In the midst of anxiety, they expressed their trust in us.
“Yes, of course.”
I responded to him with a short smile.
[Feeding] And [Caressing] Have also been completed.
The party we were preparing after turning the S+ class rift.
Chimeras die by my hand.
Even if the blue tower wizard appears, the milking party will not lose.
Because we are immune to the curse.

[Hong Jae-Hoon’s unique skill: Rupture Fist]
Hong Jae-hun put magic into his fist and threw it straight forward.
A gigantic fist of fire was formed and swept away the Chimeras.
[Hong Jae-hoon’s unique skill: Bungkwon (崩拳)]
This time, he hit the floor with his magical fist.
The ground shook and shattered like an earthquake, and flames exploded from the cracks and engulfed the chimeras.
Hong Jae-hoon uses fire-attribute skills like Hong Wol-yeong.
He wasn’t a magician, but he was overwhelming his enemies with more powerful punches.
Kieeck!
A chimera that survives his attacks.
[Blue Mage Tower Argenia Fortress latest successful work ‘4A-5984 Experimental Subject (S+ Class Monster)’]
Sometimes named monsters close to boss monsters were mixed in.
They did not fall easily even against Hong Jae-hoon, who was ranked 4th.
4 bat wings, 6 eyes, giant arms.
Boasting a terrible appearance, rather, he stretched out his fist to Hong Jae-hoon and counterattacked.
“It really reminds me of going through the Chinese rift.”
Hong Jae-hoon raised his left arm to block the Chimera’s fist, leaped forward, and engaged in a close-range hand-to-hand combat, muttering:
I remember the time two years ago when I participated in the East Asian Federation and started the 3rd attack on the cracks in China.
Even back then, the opponent was a Chimera, an S+ class monster, and there was a mixture of strong monsters like this from time to time.
At that time, a red pattern appeared on the enemy’s chest, but now a blue pattern appears.
Is it a simple color difference?
I guessed, but it wasn’t.
The attribute of the magic used by the enemy has changed.
When dealing with monsters with red patterns, I felt fire, but they felt water.
Dirty and dangerous.
[‘Test Subject No. 4A-5984’ has been eliminated!]
Chimera, who was desperately resisting, collapsed with a deep hole in Hong Jae-hoon’s chest from his fist.
Hong Jae-hoon sighed and moved his gaze to look back at the entire situation.
His position is at the forefront of the Hunters.
It was the place where the fiercest battle between humans and monsters took place.
Rankers and S-class hunters stepped forward to stop the S+-class Chimera, and a fierce bloody battle was still unfolding right next to them.
The saintess came to treat Hong Jae-hoon, who just finished an urgent battle.
“Are you okay, President? Do you have any injuries?”
Kim Soo-hyun, a saint who checks on Hong Jae-hoon’s condition.
She was playing a big role with the hero on this dangerous battlefield.
She comes to the forefront, takes care of injured hunters, and gives them buffs.
The hero protects her saint and defeats her enemies, and the saint restores everyone and adds to her energy.
Truly the best party ever.
Just by their presence, the hunters were fighting monsters and finding stability.
Although they are enemies from S+ class rifts, the 1st offensive team of the Imperial Guild against them was also strong.
Here, rankers from the Imperial Guild such as Changwang, Gwonwang, and Palace King, Hong Jae-hoon and the Hunter Association rankers, and Wizards Union rankers.
The best hunters in Korea were together.
The largest party in Korea that was created for the first time.
With unbelievable synergy, he gained the upper hand against the wizard corps.
Hong Jae-hoon smiled vigorously at the saintess.
“I am fine. Find a patient who is more critical than yourself.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Kim Soo-hyun only strengthened a few buffs that were weakened by Hong Jae-hoon.
An S+ class Chimera collapses beside them.
The hero, Sifu, also came after defeating the Chimera.
“It seems that all of the opponent’s 1st wave has been blocked.”
The enemy’s offensive was weakening.
As the S-class hunters take the lead and defeat the enemy who barely managed to break through the trap, the chimeras cannot stand up on the ground.
Chimeras flying in the sky were also being sniped intensively by the gunners and were falling without causing much damage.
Hong Jae-hoon’s expression brightened as he looked at the warrior.
He passed the crisis.
As long as we protect this place, there won’t be much difficulty in defending Seoul.
With this power that blocked an S+ class rift, it would easily defeat other monster armies.
While breathing, I watched the other hunters perform.
But at that time, Hong Jae-hoon heard a magical sound.
[Are you the captain of this army?]
The meaning of the other person’s words was directly stuck in my head.
Jaehoon Hong turned his head.
A monster talking to him.
The wizard in the blue robe approached, walking through the piles of Chimera corpses and the smoke rising from the magic explosion.
“Did you talk to me?”
Hong Jae-hun’s eyes widened as he faced his opponent.
It was the first time we had a conversation like this.
The wizard’s voice was spreading in my head like the mechanical sound of the status window.
He speaks a completely different language than Korean.
[I asked if you were the captain of this army.]
The wizard did not answer Hong Jae-hoon’s question.
He only repeats the questions he asked.
Jaehoon Hong looked around him at this strange phenomenon.
As if he wasn’t the only one who heard the wizard’s words, the hero and the saintess were staring at each other with a surprised expression.
“Exactly. I am currently in command of this unit. Who are you?”
[I am the owner of the blue tower, the owner of the blue tower. A wizard leading to destruction… I am the one who will give you rest.]
The sound of the opponent’s magic was interrupted.
When asked who he was, the mage shook his head in confusion, and his voice became hot as he spoke of the destruction that followed.
Hong Jae-hoon’s eyes hardened at that strange reaction.
As the wizard’s appearance was clearly revealed, the status window information was displayed.
[Faded Eternity, Blue Mage Tower (Ex-class Boss Monster)]
A monster of unmeasurable grade, Ex-class.
It was a mark from the bosses of the S+ rift.
Looking at him, Hong Jae-hoon thought of the red robe wizard.
Similar feeling to encountering a boss in a Chinese rift.
A sense of crisis rises from the endless magical power.
[Ah, become our legion. Become a test subject of destruction and spend eternity together.]
Magical power spread out in all directions centered on the wizard.
Magical power that spreads like an explosion.
The density of mana filling the battlefield increased in an instant.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
The blue mana that was thickly spread over the field rubbed and the voltage jumped.
