Return To Level Up

In the Defenders, there was a building that was managed very secretly.

It was a 100-story skyscraper in Chicago.

From the 10th basement floor to the 100th floor, it was a very ordinary building.

Several large companies were using the building on separate floors, and the basement was mostly a parking lot.

Only three people knew that the building had an 11th basement.

Even the people who designed the 11th basement floor or those who participated in the foundation work were not from this world.

it has been completely killed

Of course, one by one, they were killed under secret surveillance. Without a chance to divulge the secret.

The 11th basement floor of this building was a place that had to go down 10 meters even from the 10th basement floor, and the space between the 10th floor and the basement was completely filled with concrete.

Only Jason, William, and Jennifer knew of it.

And those three were there now.

The 11th basement floor was a huge space, with nothing but columns.

There was only a transparent tube in the middle.

Inside the transparent coffin was a man lying with his eyes closed, not sure if he was asleep or dead.

Around the transparent coffin stood Jason, William and Jennifer.

"I'm sure I'll wake up Ash."

William shook his head and muttered.

In fact, he was the one who most welcomed Ash's sleep.

He needed his strength to come over here, so I joined him, but he continued to be reluctant.

And it was the same with Jennifer.

The two looked down at Ash, who was sleeping in a transparent coffin, with nervous expressions.

“Is this really a good thing to do?”

William asked again, looking at Jason. It was a question that had already been asked more than ten times since the decision was made.

Jason was still firm.

“The cracks close faster. So, all the newly selected supporters were turned towards the rift. If this goes on, the rift will close within a year.”

“I can't believe it. Why the hell did this happen?”

“The factor that created the rift must have disappeared.”

“So what is it?”

At that question, Jason lowered his head and looked at Ash in the transparent coffin.

"I don't know about that... well, maybe I'll know."

At that, William and Jennifer both nodded at the same time.

The power of Ash played a big role in bringing them here. That's why I fell asleep like this.

So maybe if you're ash, you probably know the cause.

But I didn't wake up Ash just to know it.

At this rate, the Defenders are in danger of dying out.

The Guardians continued to grow in the midst of this. Now, the influence of the Guardians around the world has gone beyond what they had hoped for while creating The Defenders.

“Don’t be vigilant. It's not easy to wake up."

With that warning, Jason turned to look at William and Jennifer.

“Still, you have prepared everything you can. Let's get started. I hope this will be the last to throw me into fate.”

As soon as William finished speaking, a glowing line began to appear on the floor.

Lines of light were drawn on the floor, creating a huge pattern.

The lines were engraved not only on the floor, but also on the walls, ceiling, and pillars.

There were places where light was gathered, and there were large manastones embedded in them.

Among the manastones that the Defenders had been collecting hard, they brought all the large ones.

The reason Ash fell asleep was because he had exhausted too much of his energy.

Without that power, I couldn't even try.

The room was filled with light. And the light began to flow slowly.

Light flowed towards the transparent tube.

The magic stone constantly spewed out light, and the light it spewed out flowed along the line and filled the transparent tube.

The tube was filled with light.

However, the light in the tube was not as bright as expected.

This is because Ash absorbed most of the light, so the amount of light that leaked out was not much.

The light of the magic stone located far from the coffin flickered and went out. When the light was turned off, the manastone crumbled and became powder.

puck! puck! puck! puck!

The speed at which the manastones were breaking became faster and faster.

There were thousands of mana stones in this space, and half of them were extinguished in an instant.

“Is the speed at which you eat Manastones too fast? Isn't this a hat?"

“If we don’t have enough, we have to put all our energy into it, so we’re preparing our hearts in advance.”

At Jason's calm remark, William and Jennifer looked at him with wondered eyes.

If it goes wrong while giving power, the magic power of the body will be sucked away and you could die.

Saying such a scary thing so casually made Jason terrified again.

puck! puck! puck! puck!

Meanwhile, the light went out and the number of broken manastones continued to increase.

Soon, the last magic stone was broken.

puck!

But Ash still hadn't woken up.

Without hesitation, Jason placed his hand on the coffin.

Whoa!

A strong light poured from Jason's palm. The light penetrated into the tube.

William and Jennifer looked at it and sighed deeply. And with an expression that he couldn't, he put his hand on the coffin.

The power was sucked out at an incredibly fast speed.

The three of them looked perplexed.

Their bodies began to shrivel as if they were accelerating even a bodily fluid.

When the body was shrunk in half, the transparent coffin broke.

Zeng!

The three hurriedly backed away.

Then I looked at the naked man who slowly raised his body.

He was a beautiful man, as if carved by a rare artist.

The body as well as the face.

Ash, a naked man, glanced around at his three companions and grinned.

“It seems like it’s been a while, so I played a little joke, was it fun?”

"joke?"

Jennifer rolled his head and opened his eyes wide, wondering what kind of prank he was playing when he said it was a joke.

“Is it possible that you deliberately made us touch it?”

Ash nodded his head happily.

"right. Maybe it was around the time that the manastone here was half broken?”

The three of them swelled up in their stomachs. But no one said anything to Ash.

Not only because he was strong, but also because he had done something to him.

It was Ash who opened the rift and made it come to this world, but I left it without waking it up.

In fact, if he had woken up as soon as he arrived, there would have been no need for so many mana stones to enter.

“I will use the power I received as a gift very well. After waking me up, it seems that things didn't go as well as I thought. Right?"

The three of them swallowed as they watched Ash put the situation together just by waking them up.

Ash smiled happily and looked at the three of them once.

Then, looking around him, he took a deep breath through his nose.

“Ugh. The scent of magic is stronger than you think? Has it progressed a lot?”

Ash looked at the three again.

“Now, shall we hear exactly what the problem is?”

“The rift is closing.”

Ash clapped his hands together.

“Oh, isn’t that good? If the cracks get bigger, holes will be drilled and monsters will keep coming. Wasn't it Marvas who set his eyes on this side...?"

The three did not answer. He just looked at Ash with a feeling of seeking an answer.

Ash smiled mischievously and sighed for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Do you know why cracks form?”

“It happened because we crossed this way.”

"right. I know. So, do you know why we're growing and maintaining it?"

"Well. I thought it was because of Marvas, but after going through this, it turns out that’s not the case.”

Ash smiled at Jason's answer.

William and Jennifer stood a step apart and simply listened to their conversation.

“Listen. It's instability that keeps the cracks going."

"instability?"

“A force that is separated from the system is the cause of instability.”

“A force that is separated from the system…….. isn’t that us? We are not part of this system.”

Ash shook her head.

“Because I'm not in this world, I could create rifts, but that's not the cause of the instability either. After all, we are also part of the system.”

Jason's eyes widened at those words.

“So does that mean that there is something that is not part of the system?”

"okay. Do you know why I was aiming here?”

Jason shook his head. Of course I don't know. Because he only helped Ash create the rift.

“This is where the system was once broken and then rebuilt.”

“Down and then rebuilt?”

“Usually in that case, the old system would be treated as a relic.”

“The system of the past ... Did this world ever go through destruction once?”

"answer."

Ash raised one of her fingers and spoke her words with her twinkling eyes.

“The world has been destroyed, but there are some remnants of it. That's what creates instability. Actually, as long as the crack doesn't open, there's no problem. But once the cracks are open, they work and the cracks grow bigger and bigger. That’s what instability is.”

Jason's expression hardened gradually.

"Then... it means someone is removing that instability."

And I had a rough guess as to who it was.

Hajin Kang, he was a lot more dangerous than I thought. At least for the Defenders.

Ash looked at Jason and spread his arms wide.

“Now, tell me what I should do. In return for waking me up, I will grant you what you want at least once.”

At Ash's unexpected words, Jason, as well as William and Jennifer's eyes lit up.

* * *

The Japanese base created by the Guardians prospered day by day.

The fact that the guild members who came over from Guardians to close the dungeon still hunt monsters in Japan without anyone returning had a significant impact.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Periodically, a few people come to the base to give away the corpses of the monsters they have hunted and the magic stones, and the amount is truly enormous.

It wasn't just the quantity that was a problem, but the type of monster hunted was also unusual or powerful, so there was a constant influx of people who came to the Japanese base to save it.

In addition, the Awoken who came to close the Japanese dungeon in the early stage cleaned the area around the base so that it was hard to find monsters around them, so it was safe to say the least.

About half of them returned, but the other half did not return and sat down, considering hunting in Japan as a new opportunity.

The Guardians were constantly working.

New buildings went up every day at the base, and even a residential area was created.

A huge residential and commercial complex was built, and facilities for cultural life were built.

The scope of the base has grown wider and better facilities have been installed.

The owners of all the facilities and buildings were, of course, the Guardians.

The Guardians were building a new city here in Japan.

And Kang Ha-jin also stayed in Japan.

Hajin Kang used his unique fast movement speed to go back and forth between the base and the hunting grounds and continued hunting at an amazing speed.

Everything was for leveling up.

I never had any intention of leaving Japan until I passed my first goal, level 1000.

Japan, which has been neglected since the dungeon air raid, had a lot of abnormally powerful monsters.

Even if you pick only those guys and hunt them, your level goes up.

Kang Ha-jin tried not to run into guild members led by Kim Ji-hye as much as possible.

They were leveling up on their own. It's only going to get in the way.

Hajin Kang was sitting on a pile of crumbling concrete, stroking the white tiger who had broken through level 2000.

Baekho ate the maggot monster and broke through level 2000.

It was actually level 2002.

Baekho, who broke through the level 2000 wall, has a new skill, [Detection].

[Detect]

[Find out unusual points by covering a wide range of senses.]

The explanation was very vague. But when we went together, I knew for sure what it was like.

Once through that, I was able to check the distribution of monsters. Among them, monsters with unusual powers could be identified, and not only monsters but also objects with unusual powers could be identified.

Kang Ha-jin had a very strange feeling as he watched Baekho use that power.

And he could see that his level was not enough to grasp the strange feeling.

So he focused more on leveling up.

And soon you will be able to see the results.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing

In the distance, something huge was approaching, dragging the floor.

The rubble of the building that remained was toppled, crushed and crushed to dust.

Hajin Kang stood up.

Now, if you just catch that guy, your level will break through 1000.

He forcibly calmed his pounding heart and moved on.

“Baekho, let’s go.”

Hajin Kang and Baekho rushed towards the giant monster.
