Chapter 22
Come on, warriors! (1) ======================== 1.
[00:00:00] The time in the sky indicated zero.
"Zero!" Hunters cheered.
There were many people throwing their hats off.
Thousands of hats soared from the square at once.
It was as if countless dandelion flower seeds were blooming on a spring day.
Before the hats were all gone-.
[Notice everyone.] A voice echoed from the sky.
The voice proclaimed to all.
[Tutorial ends today.] The trailer has finally come to an end.
[Notifying everyone once again] [As of today, the tutorial ends.] And finally, the curtain on this stage has come to an end! “Ooooooooh!”
People roared with excitement.
Heat.
Passion.
enthusiasm.
How long has it been since Hunters became so hot? The old man who resigned from the front line and opened a store, a middle-aged man who gave up on going higher and sat on the second floor hunting ground, now cheered in the plaza.
At least for this moment, they were all hunters.
“11th floor! 11th floor! 11th floor!”
“Come on, open the 11th floor!”
“Hey, the news just came out… this…”
Are you trying to repay their enthusiasm? Whoa! The rays of light that made up the clock in the sky burst brightly.
A light as intense as the sun.
The Hunters closed their eyes tightly and barely looked up at the sky with their fingers wide open.
I was no exception.
[Warriors.
Those who climb the tower.] [Congratulations on crossing the grudge of the Inferno Mansion.] A huge human was floating in the sky.
No, maybe I should call her an angel or a goddess instead of a human.
The goddess was fluttering in her white clothes and emitting a divine light.
It was a holy sight as if painted in a temple.
“Oh oh oh…”
"beautiful···." Admiration flowed from all over the square.
Most of the hunters lost their minds.
The figure of the goddess that appeared in the sky was so beautiful.
- It's a zombie.
Calm down.
that's not a goddess But the spirit behind it was cold.
swordsman.
The person who attacked the tower to the 99th floor in another world was not deceived by the scene in front of them.
-It's just a system that explains the quest to you.
“...is it some kind of NPC?”
-OK.
Even if there is such a thing as a goddess, it is nothing more than a recorded video.
If you clear the 10th floor, it will automatically replay.
tttttttttttttttttttttttttt to be pitiful.
I suddenly wondered.
“How do you know that?”
-OK? because···.
It was the moment the mastermind was about to answer.
[Warriors! Now there is a world that longs for your touch.
The world is being invaded by a terrifying demon king.
From now on, you will be summoned as a hero there, on a mission to save mankind.
If you want to accept this mission, say 'transfer'...] Blame! Before the voice could even finish, someone jumped into the air.
“Suck!”
The hunter lightly stepped on the roof of the building.
3rd Floor.
5th floor.
7th floor.
He climbed up the taller buildings in an instant, and finally stepped on the bell tower of the square.
And the Hunter flew high in the air.
swordsmanship (劍星).
Marcus Callenberry.
“Ha!”
The sword strike of the current ranking number 1 broke the sky.
There was a goddess where the blade had been cut.
The figure of the goddess was split in two.
It was a beautiful, quick blow.
People opened their mouths at the sudden event.
“Uh-huh, uh…!?”
But that's only for a while.
The vision of the goddess split in two was quickly restored.
As if it was no use no matter how much water was cut, the goddess regained her beautiful appearance as she had just a moment ago and raised her voice.
[...
if you want to accept this mission, say 'transfer'.
warriors At that time, you will make a grand step into the eleventh floor.] The goddess figure was still shining.
There was light, but the light was no longer sacred.
Because once the god was torn, he was no longer a god.
“Hmm.”
Swordsman landed easily on the roof of the bell tower.
The old man was dressed in a black suit, just like the day he first met him at the bar.
The old swordsman looked up at the sky as if he didn't like something, and slowly looked down at the square below the bell tower.
“·················ogue.”
Silence fell on the square.
-Well.
the mastermind said.
- I was like that a long time ago.
Look.
NPC right? I wasn't crazy.
'···You have to check that to unlock the castle?' -Yes.
I don't really understand people who don't check.
When something huge just appears, doesn't it make you want to cut it with a sword? Aren't all humans like that? 'Ugh.' They are also idiots It is not wrong to say that I strengthened my sight and hearing with an auror and looked at the sword castle.
Be careful not to make eye contact.
"send." The swordsman murmured quietly.
Paah! The same light that the goddess emitted wrapped around the old swordsman.
After a while, the swordsman disappeared without a trace.
Only white bird droppings remained on the roof of the Italian-style bell tower.
“Ahahaha!”
Laughter erupted in the square surrounded by silence.
Hunters turned their heads.
The source of the laughter was the Manshinjeon guild leader and heresy interrogator.
The heretical interrogator smiled brightly.
“You lost another player! Ah! What a wonderful day!”
The Heretic Inquisitor took off the priest's hat.
He bowed his head politely to those who looked at him.
“Then see you all on the 11th floor! send!" A pure white light enveloped the Inquisitor.
In the next moment, the Heretic Inquisitor disappeared.
After obliviously watching him disappear, the Hunters realized it belatedly.
"Huh···." The sword castle and the heresy inquisitors were one step ahead and went up to the 11th floor.
That was the starting point.
“Hey, send!”
"send!" "send!" Numerous hunters hurriedly cried out for transmission.
Paah! Pot! The square was instantly engulfed in bright light.
Every time one shouted, a beam of light rose.
The rays of light that rose from the square soon increased to tens of thousands and brightened the sky.
[Warriors.
Those who climb the tower.] In the midst of this, the goddess's vision was whispered softly.
[From the eleventh floor to the twentieth floor, you will face trials.
A test of faith.] The goddess put her hands together on her chest.
Like praying somewhere.
[...you will find the answer.
The answers you find will reveal who you are again.
So you will come to know yourselves...] But few listened to the goddess' vision.
everyone was busy Everyone was desperate not to fall behind others.
The few remaining people just pick up their cameras or smartphones to take a picture of the goddess.
“I’m sorry.”
Someone came up to me and muttered.
The vigilante's deputy guild leader.
was a paladin “Are you sorry?”
“Think.
I don't know who or what kind of person built this tower.
That must also be the message he left for us.
But no one cares.”
The paladin had a lonely expression on his face.
“Originally, it would have been a sight to be admired and admired a little more.
To have such a tower, to be able to use skills, it must have all been amazing miracles...
We're already used to everything on the 10th floor.”
“You are surprisingly emotional.”
"Well.
In the outside world, I majored in music.”
The paladin raised an eyebrow.
“Does a woman who graduated from a music school look more attractive?”
"Ah···.
It will be difficult to make money.”
“Ouch.
You're sticking with facts." We laughed out loud.
The mastermind secretly intervened between us.
- Zombie, be careful.
This man is suspicious.
huh? 'Oh, what else?' - You can't approach an idiot like you without any intentions.
Do you have a good-looking face or a good personality? it's all bad Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah This man is a fucking swindler! Back Pro! This yangban is real...
no.
let's just not talk "excuse me!" At that moment, people carrying cameras approached us.
They were not reporters, but people who posted personal broadcasts on the Internet.
“Hey, the guy over there is Hunter Kim Gong-ja, right?”
“Ouch.”
The paladin put on a look of annoyance.
“It looks like you got your attention because of me.
I'm sorry, Gongja Kim.
I'll go to the 11th floor first." "···Wait.
Did you come to me on purpose to do this?”
Suddenly, a reasonable doubt arose.
Then the paladin became a stabbed face.
"haha.
I have an eye for judging the other person’s sincerity.”
The eye to judge the other person's sincerity? Are you saying that you are confident in understanding what a person is? The paladin scratched the back of his head like a naughty boy.
“I wanted to find out for a moment what kind of person you are, so I talked to you.
Think of it as an expression of interest.”
“So what kind of person am I?”
"Well.
Well, the answer lies in your mind.
send!" Oh my gosh.
You run away completely.
In the end, the paladin threw a prey to the reporters and fell alone.
- Big.
look at that Am I right? After all, there is nothing wrong with my predictions! 'Damn it.
It's noisy.' As the paladin disappeared, more and more people flocked to me.
Suddenly, he was surrounded by individual broadcasters and reporters.
“Gongja Kim Hunter! Just say one word!”
“Is it true that you cleared the 10th floor boss alone? There is a lot of talk in the world about whether it is a scenario prepared in advance by large guilds about the simultaneous membership of Hunter Kim Gong-ja!”
“There was an official announcement that Hunter-sama’s grade was E grade.
There are a lot of people asking questions here.
Let's check if the official announcement is correct..." “What kind of relationship do you have with the Paladin of the Vigilante? They seemed very close, but maybe they have a deep personal relationship!”
“Gongja Kim Hunter!”
come on 'Is this the [innumerable handshake requests] that only come to those successful hunters...' After experiencing it firsthand, I can see why he bothered reporters.
I pondered how to react, and decided to say just one word.
“I will also clear the 20th floor.”
"Yes?" “Then let everyone suffer.
send." Whoa! A white light came from under my feet.
“Oh, come on, wait! Gongja Kim Hunter!”
"no! catch!" “A few more questions, please.”
Sorry.
I think the mystic concept is the best.
[Those who climb the tower.] Right before the light completely enveloped me.
The voice of the goddess echoed in the square for the last time.
[Good luck to all of you.] 2.
Paaah! The light surrounding me faded.
Slowly, my eyes began to show.
The first thing that came into sight was the vast battlefield.
- Crumple! -Chwiik! chwi! monster.
Horrible-looking monsters were swarming from beyond the horizon.
goblin.
Oak.
ogre.
The monsters I saw in the tutorial up to the 10th floor rushed at once this time regardless of their race.
It was like a swarm of ants.
“Stop it!”
“Boo, impossible! There are too many enemies!”
“Do not back down! If we lose here, the empire is over!”
There were only a handful of defense forces blocking that amount.
Is the level of civilization between Antiquity and the Middle Ages? A group of soldiers in armor were somehow guarding the port.
Bae Soo-jin.
Leaving the deep river behind, the human soldiers resisted desperately.
"what?" “How are things going...?”
“Wow! Everyone, watch out for the arrows! Just flying!”
The hunters who were suddenly summoned to the battlefield looked around the sucker.
It was not strange for the Hunters to ride on the ice.
They have only caught monsters in [safely prepared hunting grounds] so far.
Because I have never experienced a battlefield like the present moment.
However, from the 10th floor onwards, such a sight was commonplace.
'The tutorial is literally over.' A battlefield where you never know when your neck will fly away.
A battlefield where you risk your life on every level.
"Oh oh!" Someone approached the hunters who were suddenly summoned and panicked.
The armor was quite splendid whether it was an ordinary soldier or not.
General Lee exclaimed and spoke to us.
"thank you! You have come to help our empire, warriors!”
Hunters were buzzing.
"Warrior? What are you talking about." “You idiot.
Didn't you hear the angel talking in the square earlier? You say you are being invaded by the Demon King.
We must have assumed the role of warriors.”
“I can’t even hear your voice from the back!”
“Wow, is this real? Are those soldiers really human or NPCs...”
“Let’s be quiet there!”
murmur murmur.
While the hunters were talking, the follow-up squad arrived one after another.
People pushed people, people mixed with people.
It was confusion itself.
“Heroes! Come help us and save the Empire!”
Fortunately, some talented people, including myself, knew how to enhance their sight and hearing with Aurors.
When the low-skilled stalwarts were just resting their minds, a few hunters listened to what the general NPC was saying.
“This port is the last lifeline of the Empire.
It must be held in order for the Imperial Capital to continue to receive supplies.
Heroes from another world! Please defend the Aikim Empire with us!”
At that moment, a voice rang in my head.
[The 11th floor quest is given.] Texts appeared in front of me.
+ [Supply Route Shootout] Difficulty: FA Mission Objective: Disaster has come to the Aigim Empire.
Demon King.
An existence that had only been passed down in legend has finally risen to power.
The Demon King is cunning, vicious, and strong.
He first wants to cut off the supply routes of the Aegim Empire.
Defend the port! This battle will be the first step in saving the Empire.
※However, if you lose the battle, the 12th floor will not be open.
+ Did I say that there is no undisputed opinion? "quest···?" “Look.
It is true that the Demon King has appeared.”
“Where else is the I-Kim Empire?”
Hunters, who had been confused before, began to slowly grasp the situation.
One hunter took out his weapon without saying a word, and one hunter teamed up with his colleagues.
And a certain hunter fired a sword at the goblins.
"indeed." The swordsman standing at the forefront muttered as he pulled out his sword.
Fibora roared in front of him.
Five or six monsters lost their heads and fell to the ground like straw.
“I don’t know the details.
I'm just saying you can knock it down." And the swordsman jumped into the front line.
Even the hunters who rode on the ice shouted when they saw it.
“Oooh!”
"good! Let's follow the sword!" “You goblin cubs like dogs! For six years, I've taken all of you, but I've picked thousands!" Thousands of hunters jumped in with their weapons, followed by thousands again.
The defense force, which had been pushed unilaterally, increased in power in an instant.
When war turns into dogfight.
"OK." I was smiling from the back.
Because, I heard a voice that other hunters wouldn't hear.
[Welcome, Hunter Gongja Kim.] [A reward for clearing the 10th floor is given.] A voice telling you about your own perks.23.
