I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Our stay at Baengnokdam did not last long.

Rest is good, but you have to transport the wounded inland.

You have to join the lieutenants below.

Besides, there may still be more monsters around Mt. Halla.

“Descent!”

So I got out of Baengnokdam.

“I want to drink a cold beer whenever I go.”

“I need to go on a trip to a place with good air.”

“Huhu, I think I would be happy if I just breathe.”

Throughout the descent, the crew members were busy talking and thinking about going back and doing this and that.

I also had a conversation with Lieutenant Young So-jin.

“Dojin-ah, what are you going to do when you get back?”

“First of all, take a deep breath. What about the Operations Officer?”

“I sleep too. Ha-ah, I’m still sleepy.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin covers his mouth with his palm and pours out his yawn.

You seem very tired.

I am no different.

If you put your back to wherever you are, you'll sleep right away.

“And then?”

"After that… … Eat rice?”

“Haha, you’re modest.”

“I have missed the simple things since coming here.”

“It is. Just keep fighting.”

"that's right. Do you do that?”

"Hmm… … I think I will eat too.”

“You are the same.”

It was a pointless conversation, but I enjoyed it no matter what kind of conversation I had because I felt at ease.

how far down

As we approached the beginning of the trail, other crew members began to appear.

It was the lieutenants who remained here due to power problems.

They already knew the news.

But hearing it for yourself is another way.

Everyone cheered and greeted us.

“Wow!”

“You have worked hard!”

After a short encounter, we continued our descent.

“Let the wounded fall this way.”

After leaving Mt. Halla, the wounded began to be transported.

As the general unit soldiers were on standby, the work was done quickly.

Of course, vehicles were used for transportation.

I could only fall if I fell out injured.

I was seriously injured by the explosion of blood, both in terms of stamina and mana.

The commanders knew about this and almost half-forced to send me away, saying, ‘Captain Choi will fall too’, but I just stayed there.

I didn't mean to be stubborn, I just wanted to finish what I did.

Anyway, the last one is important, right?

And thanks to pouring the potion earlier, the state of the body has returned to some extent.

Sleep. As long as you finish this, you can sleep as much as you want later.

“Uh, is there any operations officer left?”

"Huh."

“You bled so much… … Wouldn't it be better to fall for it?"

So it stayed

Lieutenant Young So-jin also remained.

“Am I okay?”

Lieutenant Young Sojin speaks, turning his body left and right.

It looks really good to spin around.

The body, which had been seven packs of blood, has returned to its original state at some point.

Do you have any skills related to recovery?

Hagi, I was more seriously injured when I was Kim Oh-cheol, but he came to his senses after a day or two.

“Dojin, can you really stay here?”Rather worry about me.

I said, pounding my chest with my fist.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Feel free.”

Lieutenant Young Sojin smiles and rolls up his sword.

The instructions were falling.

“From now on, let’s check the remaining gates.”

"Yes!"

remaining gates.

Other areas have already been checked by general unit soldiers, so all you have to do is search around this area.

“There is an ogre gate!”

“The 1st Company will take care of that.”

Our company ran into some ogre gates.

The ogres were already coming out.

Ogre.

The first time I saw it, I was nervous and my body stiffened just by looking at it.

now it's just boring

It feels like seeing a local friend (?).

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

An ogre screams and runs towards me.

Anytime you look at it, it's huge.

There is a strong sense of strength in the wretched face.

But there's no need to use a sword.

A sword is enough to catch... … No, it won't even go to the sword.

I stood still and swung my sword sharply.

whistle-

Just stand still and straighten your sword.

“… Gagging!”

He vomits blood and runs backwards.

A long line was drawn toward the abdomen.

It looks like he's been injured.

one room.

Of course, I did not even use the sword, one shot.

Not even a regular ogre, but a twin-headed ogre.

'Oh.'

All stats +5 while catching Phantom Knight.

All stats +7 with the title of ruler of the battlefield.

Actually, I didn't feel well.

It's because I haven't caught a single ant since I got those rewards.

Of course, more power was put into the body than usual.

However, it was a situation where I could not feel it directly.

I felt it now.

Scratch!

He's still not even wearing a sword.

But it's not just an ogre, it's just a twin-headed ogre knocking it down.

How the hell did the power increase?

“… Cuck!”

I kept chasing them.

They came from the remaining gates, so there weren't many.

got it sorted out soon

“Everyone worked hard.”

It's rather sad when it's over.

I want to use more force... … Ah.

No.

If I overdo it for nothing, the wound may grow.

And there are many days to come when I will use my strength.

Because catching monsters is my job.

“Now let’s go to Jeju Port!”

The other side was also sorted out quickly.

It didn't take too long in the first place as it was just the last confirmation of the work that had already been completed.

After moving to Jeju Port, it is said that they go back inland immediately.

There is a separate unit that will be stationed for follow-up processing or restoration of Jeju Island, so we won't have to go further.

Just put your body on it and you're done.

Now I feel a little bit home.

wake up

You should take a breath as you go.

“To board the entire troop vehicle.”

"Yes!"

A vehicle was also picked up at the location.

Because of the number of people, executives like me who couldn't eat jjambab had to ride in the back car, but that was very comfortable.

The hard backrest feels like a soft cushion.

I'm tired I'm tired

Did I just fall into an injury?

I immediately shook my head.

I did it because I wanted to go after it was completely finished.

So, although the body was more tired, the mind was rather light.

The vehicle moved quickly.

When I woke up with a sigh, I could see the beach in the distance.

Jeju Port was approaching.

* * *

Hunter Headquarters Situation Room.

After the Special Forces moved to Jeju Island, the air there, which had always been heavy, became lighter for the first time.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Captain Baek Eui-cheon, who was the chief of staff and in charge of the operation to retake Jeju Island, looked at the staff with a chuckle.

“I was a little worried because Baengnokdam was turned into a dungeon, but it was just a concern.”

“Yes, Lieutenant General Yu Kyung-pil seems to have done well.”

“I would have been embarrassed by the double dungeon, but I handled it very well. Even the Black King has to deal with it neatly.”

“It was reported later that the Black King even summoned the Bone Dragon, but Lieutenant General Yu Gyeong-pil immediately removed it.”

“I did. Lieutenant General Yoo.”

There was a saying like that in the past.

If it was something that could be done so simply, wouldn't it have been better if only Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil and his generals were sent in the first place?

He wondered why it was necessary to send even lower rank officers.

Wouldn't that just increase the risk?

That's because you don't know what's going on.

No matter how strong Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil and his generals are, they cannot use their power properly without supporters.

After all, their power has its limits.

In addition, special forces troops are those who have been recruited through selection warfare.

In addition, I went through the 1st and 2nd joint training.

There is nothing dangerous at all.

And Captain Baek Eui-cheon ordered that safety be the top priority from the beginning.

Even if the operation is disrupted.

“Except for one captain who died in an unfortunate incident, there are zero deaths.”

As a result.

For a month and a half during the operation, there were no fatalities.

This was a great thing.

This is because it was not a few dozen or a few hundred people, but a few thousand people.

The operation itself was quite difficult.

That is the reason why foreign media is paying so much attention.

Apart from recapturing Jeju Island.

“The results are so good, you can’t just let it go.”

As soon as the operation was over, even the president directly came forward and praised the part of the operation.

Each media outlet reported on Hunter's achievements at once.

The stock price of Captain Baekuicheon soared without knowing the end.

Captain Baek Eui-cheon did not intend to receive it alone.

He was going to share it with everyone. Especially for the Special Forces members who fought on the front lines.

“I should be compensated for the hard work.”

stats.

skill.

style.

Hunters often receive such a reward after the battle is over.But there are better rewards than the rewards the system gives.

That's the commander's reward.

“Prepare a lot of citations.”

After arriving at Jeju Port.

I got on the boat with only my personal luggage.

There were not many supplies because the general units had already procured them.

Of course, there will be no work for us to carry the rest.

As soon as I got on the boat, I called my family and Seong Da-kyung for a while and fell asleep again.

It was true that there is no sleeping pill stronger than fatigue.

“This is Yeosu Port! The special forces that have successfully completed the operation to retake Jeju Island will arrive here soon! Ah! There it is!”

when I open my eyes again.

And when I got off the ship.

A huge crowd was circling in front of us.

were reporters.

There were so many when we started, but now there are more.

A large number of foreigners also came.

Citizens were also encamping after that.

If the adjacent units and police hadn't cleared the traffic, there might have been an accident.

That's how huge the crowd was.

"Thank you!"

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The shouts come from their mouths, not ours.

Is this what it means to warm your heart?

We waved our hands and greeted them.

“Tell me what you think!”

“How are you feeling?”

Soon, the flash baptism began in earnest.

The sound of the camera might sound like firecrackers.

that's interesting.

He smiled and continued waving his hand.

Then I found a familiar face.

‘Do Jin-ah!’

'sister!'

A reporter from the Hunter Department, a newspaper, Choi Do-hee.

it was my sister

I raised my arms and waved louder.

My older sister greeted me with a wide smile.

Normally, I would have fought by telling them not to make chicken meat, but I can't be so happy when I see them like this.

You should do better in the future.

not even kidding.

Well, no.

I can't stop teasing you

I live in the taste of making fun of Choi Do-hee.

“I heard that Baengnokdam was turned into a dungeon!”

“I heard there is also a double dungeon! Please explain briefly what happened!”

“What do you think is the key to victory in this operation?”

On the other hand, the interview was in full swing along with the on-site briefing.

The subjects were Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil and generals standing on the podium on behalf of everyone, that is, the commanders and central figures of this operation.

I don't know how it will turn out to the lieutenant rank, but for a captain like me, it won't be too early.

Apart from having too many people, there are high-ranking people, so there's no need to use low-ranking people.

However.

“Captain Choi Do-jin! Where are you, Captain Choi Do-jin?”

I was also interviewed.

For a moment, I thought my sister had called me a family buff, but it wasn't.

My older sister was taking an interview with Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil. mixed with other reporters.

Coincidentally, it was the place where my name was called.

what… … ?

At that time, I couldn't help but be surprised by the words that followed.

“Yes, that is my friend. The first contribution to this operation.”

Lieutenant General Yoo Kyung-pil was looking at me and speaking into the microphones that the reporters held out.
