Return To Level Up

America's stronghold in Japan was quiet.

Over the past few days, monsters have been constantly attacking us, and everyone has been so abused that we can't even sleep.

He didn't take much damage from the battle with the monster, but if he needed a break, it was impossible to rest comfortably while the monsters came again.

But yesterday and today were amazing.

The monster never attacked.

Thanks to this, most of the awakened people literally slept.

It was the same with the base commander.

The commander left the barracks and looked around the base.

Awakened people and soldiers were seen training or resting everywhere.

“By the way, where are you and what are you doing? It's difficult to come out like this..."

The commander thought that Ha-jin Kang was roaming around the base to find the Awakened to accompany him.

But there were no reports coming in.

Once Kang Ha-jin offered to hunt with him, he had given an order to reject it unconditionally.

So Hajin Kang had to be somewhere in the base.

However, no matter how much I looked around the base, I couldn't find Ha-jin Kang.

In the eyes of the commander who was wandering around like that, he saw Michael leading the Awakened Army.

"Michael."

“Oh, Commander.”

Michael looked at his commander and was delighted. Michael was also in good shape today thanks to a good night's sleep.

“Do you know where the Master of the Guardians is?”

"Yes? That person left the base early in the morning, but... wasn't that what the commander ordered?"

“He left the base?”

"Yes. He made sure to leave in the morning. We even exchanged greetings, so there's no way I'm wrong.

The commander frowned.

“Then do you know what Ha-jin Kang did yesterday? I haven't received a separate report on what happened yesterday."

“Yesterday, as soon as I saw the commander, I immediately went out of the base. Wasn't that also the commander's order?"

Of course not. Because he just told me to follow the contract.

“You mean you went out alone without any other Awoken?”

"Yes. Originally, Guardian Masters are known for moving alone. Well, aren't you doing some reconnaissance? Or maybe we cleaned up some monsters around us.”

“Then, is it because Ha-jin Kang has been unable to see monsters since yesterday?”

“Is not it? We've been resting since yesterday. To be honest, I think it’s going to be a big deal if I don’t rest for a while because I’ve been working too hard.”

The commander's expression did not clear up.

‘You went out alone? Are you sure you're not really trying to close so many dungeons by yourself?'

All the dungeons that appeared near here were very dangerous.

Because the monsters that inhabit the dungeon were so powerful that they were different from the existing dungeons.

But go into such a dungeon alone?

Of course, it may be possible to kill the monster and close the dungeon alone.

However, there are clearly limits to being alone.

One or two might be able to do that, but it was impossible to do that in 300 dungeons.

If there is no time limit, I don't know, the dungeon will explode sooner or later, so the time was very tight.

The commander grinned and shook his head.

"does not make sense······."

If Ha-jin Kang is trying to do such a nonsensical thing, and if there is even any damage to the US base here, he vowed never to sit down.

There was a faint anger in the commander's eyes.

He turned his body around and went back to the barracks.

Michael looked at the commander's back with a puzzled expression.

* * *

The commander of the U.S. base looked at Ha-jin Kang with a puzzled look.

“Are you done? What are you talking about now?”

Hajin Kang replied calmly.

“It’s just like I said.”

He said so and held out a map.

“All dungeons marked on the map have been closed.”

The commander was so absurd that he stared blankly at Kang Ha-jin.

“It has only been two days since I received the map. I don't think you're joking with me right now... I don't know what your intentions are."

There were many reasons for the commander to react this way.

He looked around the base this morning as well. Most of the dungeons remained the same.

I thought that the reason monsters didn't come was definitely thanks to Ha-jin Kang. However, it was clear that the dungeon had not been touched.

But he came out of nowhere and complained that everything was over, so it was absurd and angered.

“There is no intention. I was just stating the facts.”

The commander jumped up from his seat. When the other person comes out like this, you have no choice but to check with your own eyes and point out the mistakes one by one.

"let's go. I will explain to you what the problem is.”

The commander strode forward and left the barracks.

Hajin Kang slowly followed behind him and smiled.

The two of them left the barracks and quickly moved towards the outside of the base.

As the commander approached the perimeter of the base, he felt something strange.

Because it was not the familiar sight he had seen in the morning.

"uh? Whoa, what is this...!"

No matter how much I looked around, I couldn't see the dungeon. The commander's steps became faster.

He kept looking for the place where the original dungeon should be. But he couldn't find a single dungeon.

Hajin Kang, who soon followed suit, explained.

“We gradually closed the dungeon outside. Now that the verification is over, I want to leave soon. As you know, I am behind schedule.”

At Ha-jin Kang's words, the commander could not say a single word. Only one word came to his mind.

'monster.'

The Guardian's Master was a man he could not fathom. He only treated this kind of person as a buffer and a healer, so he wanted to slap him on the cheek whenever he met his former self.

“Japan is unstable in many ways compared to other regions. So you better be prepared.”

Hajin Kang even gave the commander kind advice.

I don't know if he heard it right, but the commander nodded his head blankly.

Hajin Kang sighed inwardly and left.

The work at the US base is now over.

Since there were more dungeons than expected, it took a long time.

He did it even though he pulled it out with all his might.

Thanks to you, I was able to level up a bit.

Hajin Kang became a little urgent and moved quickly.

* * *

The time when the dungeons explode is different for each dungeon. Some dungeons are not very dangerous, but there are dungeons that don't explode for a long time, and there are dungeons that explode quickly even though they are very dangerous.

However, in general, the level of monsters inhabiting the dungeon determines when the dungeon will explode.

However, the dungeons created in Japan were a little different from other areas.

The monsters that inhabit the dungeon are very high-level and dangerous, but the dungeon exploded quickly.

This is because the mobile fortress Innotool has made it unstable because of the hole it drilled.

That actually affected the cracks too.

Anyway, for that reason, countless dungeons that appeared in Japan began to explode one by one.

The dungeons that appeared in the early days exploded almost at the same time.

Monsters pouring out of that dungeon began to sweep across Japan.

The mutation rate among monsters protruding due to Japan's instability was quite high.

Among them, there were many monsters capable of predation.

Suddenly, the density of monsters in Japan increased dramatically. And it led to indiscriminate attacks.

A huge number of monsters rushed to the base made by humans.

The Guardian's stronghold did a great job of stopping it.

There were still 100 core guild members left, so in fact, they were enough to stop the monster coming like a tsunami.

However, the Awoken there had no intention of missing out on this opportunity.

Why did you just throw away the chance to hunt with a powerful companion?

Thanks to this, the monster's attack was over in less than a day.

But in other locations, the story was a little different.

They all had quite a bit of power, but there were too many monsters flocking to them.

Also, each monster was really powerful.

In the meantime, there were even a mixture of one or two monsters that had crossed the wall through predation.

Still, there were a lot of powerful Awakeners, so they somehow managed to block the monster's attack.

However, the damage suffered was enormous.

The damage was so serious that I had to worry that the base would be blown away if I attacked one or two more times like this.

And the monster's attack didn't end there.

Because not all dungeons exploded, but only the first dungeons.

The second and third explosions still remained.

Perhaps even stronger than the first one and an attack that might attract a lot of monsters.

Ha-jin Kang went around the bases of each country and cleaned up the dungeons around him.

If it wasn't for that, the monster's attack would have been much more terrifying.

Because Ha-jin Kang organized hundreds of dungeons each.

The reason why I was able to close hundreds of dungeons by investing only two days was because Ha-jin Kang saved so much time that he did not sleep and ate while fighting, but the active use of summoning combat soldiers was much greater.

As the level went up, the number of combat soldiers that could be summoned increased significantly. If more than 100 combat soldiers were summoned, it took only a few minutes to wipe out a dungeon.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

If it was a new type dungeon, it would have taken a long time, but all that Hajin Kang closed were normal dungeons.

Normal dungeons did not take long because they could be closed immediately if only the key monsters were killed.

Anyway, Kang Ha-jin, who helped each base once according to the contract, was in the place where Baekho was guarding when the dungeon exploded.

In fact, I could go to a base I liked and help them. Still, the reason I came to a place where there was a white tiger was because I didn't feel good.

Unsurprisingly, the condition of the hole that the white tiger was guarding was unusual.

As the dungeon exploded, the magic became unstable, and the condition of the hole deteriorated due to the unstable magic.

“It seems that the hole is not closing, but is getting bigger.”

I thought it was blocked pretty well with Raphaside's pattern, but apparently it wasn't.

“How about this...”

Hajin Kang frowned as he looked into the hole.

Meanwhile, monsters came from all directions. And Baekho was hunting those monsters hard.

It seemed impossible to close. has already flown Disagreeing with this would only make the situation worse.

All Ha-jin Kang could do was just slow the progress.

And there was only one way that Ha-jin Kang could do to slow the progress.

Hajin Kang prepared a pattern for Raphaside.

As you can see, the magic that poured out as the dungeon exploded seemed to be a problem. So you have to block it too.

Hajin Kang wrapped the hole in a pattern that was several layers. It was natural to return the magic flowing from within, and it cut off all the magic that came from the outside.

He didn't forget to spread a field of distortion and stealth around him to make it inconspicuous.

As the level went up and the experience and understanding of the book of Raphasid increased, the skill changed again.

Hajin Kang said he did everything he could, and then he looked around.

Countless monsters were still coming. And the white tiger was hunting it.

Hajin Kang ran towards the monsters.

It didn't take long for all the nearby monsters to be cleaned up.

Hajin Kang and Baekho wiped out all the monsters not only around them but also quite far away.

and left there

This hole will grow bigger later on, which may speed up Marvas' invasion, but it was inevitable.

Because I was so obsessed with it that I couldn't do anything else.

Rather, it was better to raise the level and search for the ruins at that time.

Ha-jin Kang cleared the monster and returned to the base of the Guardians.

No matter how many monsters he caught, he didn't feel any better. A strange feeling of anxiety persisted like an afterimage.
