Return To Level Up

The effect of Kang Ha-jin hiding the rift in the Sahara did not appear immediately.

But as time went on, the effect became very evident.

The number of gigantic dungeons that appeared once decreased noticeably.

Thanks to this, countries around the world were able to relax for an hour.

In the meantime, they have been eagerly waiting for the help of the Defenders and Guardians because of the huge dungeon that suddenly opens like a bamboo shoot, but it seemed that they would go down to a level they could handle on their own.

However, it was not possible to completely eliminate the situation in which a giant dungeon appeared because the crack could not be completely closed.

Huge dungeons appeared steadily, and everyone could not hide their anxiety each time.

Because we don't know when the huge dungeons will overflow again.

But anxiety is anxiety, and reality is reality.

As the number of gigantic dungeons gradually decreased, movements were taking place in various places to secure more by-products of monsters and manastones from the dungeons.

It was really difficult when the dungeon didn't open at all.

The dungeon had now penetrated deep into the world. A world without dungeons has changed so much that it is unimaginable.

First, there was the energy issue.

The technology capable of extracting powerful energy without pollution from manastones was developing day by day.

It has been quite some time since the global energy market has begun to move toward Maseok.

In addition, magic engineering technology, which combines magic and science, began to develop gradually, resulting in results that previously existed only in the imagination.

Such technologies also developed day by day and penetrated deeply into the world.

So, it was a problem even if all the dungeons suddenly disappeared.

Even in a situation where the dungeons in the world were significantly decreasing, there were places that did not change at all.

It was Japan.

In Japan, many dungeons still appeared, and huge dungeons were also opened.

Monsters were infested everywhere, and the resulting danger was everywhere.

Naturally, attention was again focused on Japan.

This time, the interest was so deep that it could not be compared with before.

After the similar thing was repeated several times, anxiety about the disappearance of the dungeon was formed among the rulers.

It led to a move to secure more Awoken.

The atmosphere of the Defenders was the worst.

The atmosphere that had fallen to the floor at the news from the Sahara went further down as William shouted that his contract with the family had been broken.

“You have to come up with a solution,” he said.

Grinding his teeth, William looked at Jason, Jennifer and Spencer alternately.

Ash was not here now.

“Five is broken. At this rate, all family members will disappear before they can find a new suitable person.”

There was a bit of exaggeration in William's words, but everyone agreed.

If you leave it like this, it will eventually happen.

The opponent was no ordinary guy.

“This time, it’s strong Hajin, right?”

“Then who will be there?”

“You have to figure it out for sure. What if I thought it was Kang Ha-jin and moved, but it wasn’t him but someone else who was the culprit?”

That way, the culprit will hide more tightly.

After that, you'll have to fight harder. It's really hard to deal with hidden enemies.

“Nothing is easy.”

Spancer shook his head and murmured.

Jason, who watched the whole scene, sharpened his teeth.

“We were greedy…”

Everyone looked at Jason. I had no idea what Jason was talking about right now.

“It’s greed, of course. What we do is because of greed.”

"right. If you don't want to be greedy, you shouldn't have done anything like this in the first place. We are the ones who want to be kings of the world.”

Jason shook his head.

“That’s the problem. King of the world.”

Everyone had a puzzled look.

But Jason looked around his crowd with his determined eyes and spoke.

“The problem is that I started greedy for a more perfect world, contrary to what I initially thought.”

Then everyone's faces stiffened.

Actually, this wasn't the original plan.

If things went according to the original Defenders plan, half the world would have been destroyed already.

But now the world is very fine.

Of course, there are countries that are ruined, and there are countries that are half eaten by monsters.

But that was only a small part of the world.

Moreover, even those countries were quite stable.

Each one hunts monsters in their own circumstances, and uses that situation to continue various economic activities.

Why did this happen?

“It’s because of the Guardians.”

Everyone nodded at Jason's words. He had to admit it.

If it wasn't for the Guardians, maybe half of the world would have been eaten by monsters.

“And the Guardians tied us up.”

“It is too. Because the Guardians are more famous than us and people trust us more.”

Spencer grinned and glared at Jason with a provocative gaze.

"so? So what are you going to do? Does saying something like that make any difference?”

Jason looked at Spencer with cold eyes.

Spencer kept his mouth shut at the gaze. Suddenly, I felt like I was drenched in cold water.

“Then we have to revisit the original plan.”

“As originally planned? Isn't that what we're doing now?"

Jason shook his head.

“No. no. The world is still fine. I will destroy the world in half.”

Spencer looked at Jason with a puzzled expression. Then he turned his gaze to look at William and Jennifer. I meant to say something, but when Spencer saw the faces of the two, he couldn't say anything more.

‘Are these guys serious?’

Both William and Jennifer seemed to truly believe that they could destroy the world in half.

"What is this? Is there something I'm not aware of?"

Then the conference room door swung open.

When Spancer turned her head and looked towards the door, Ash was coming in with a smile on her face.

"Good morning!"

At Ash's bright greeting, Spancer made an absurd expression on her face, but then she smiled.

“What makes you so happy?”

Ash grinned and sat in the seat next to her, spanning her. And she put her arm around Spancer's shoulder.

“It’s fun. Can you see my hand?”

Spencer glanced down at her and saw Ash's hand on her arm around her own shoulder.

Her fingers were twitching.

“You move so well. These are really my hands and arms. Fakes don’t move so delicately.”

Ash continued to wiggle her fingers in delight.

And tapped her spanner on the shoulder. like a compliment.

“It was great. What was his name? What was Joe?”

“Jo Won-young. But do you really need to know the name? After all, he’s just the heir to a company that’s going to go out of business.”

Ash shook his head.

“No. He was my arm, so I have to remember his name. From now on, when you call my arm, be sure to call me Jo Won-young.”

Having said that, Spencer looked at Ash with a smirk and shut her mouth and turned her head away.

‘It’s tiring to be involved with such a madman. He’s not just a crazy guy, he’s a crazy guy enough to be called hyung by crazy people.’

Ash leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and glanced around the crowd.

“What were you talking about? How am I feeling today? Talk without remorse. do you know Can I help?”

Ash's attitude was bad, but his skills and knowledge were genuine. So if you can help, there's nothing wrong with that.

“I lost the rift in the Sahara.”

“Lost? What kind of new bullshit is that? Could it be that the crack is not closed? A rift, once established, does not move.”

Jason didn't respond, he just continued what he had to say.

“And our strength is diminishing again.”

Ash tilted her head.

“Then the cracks are stable? The rift that ate the Phase Dragon's heart is said to be stable again? Is that possible?”

Ash blinked and looked at Jason.

“Tell me how the Sahara Rift was lost.”

“A sandstorm covered the crack. It looks like someone filled the hole by surprise before then. And… the link with the family has been broken.”

As he spoke his last words, Jason glanced at William.

That alone was enough to infer the situation.

A ferocious smile formed on Ash's face.

“It’s him. Who Fucked Me In Japan. Remember? Even the hole in Japan could not be found again.”

As Jason nodded, Ash looked at him with blazing eyes.

“So what were you going to do next?”

“To break the world to some extent. It would be nice to break it in half, but I think it would be difficult in the current situation... About 30%?"

“Well, it’s not difficult.”

Ash's answer surprised Spencer.

‘Isn’t that difficult? Is he that strong? No, is this just going to be strong?’

As if he felt Spencer's gaze, Ash looked at him and grinned.

"Why? Don't you think it won't?"

Spanther frowned at her.

“Isn’t that what you said?”

Ash chuckled, then looked at Spencer and smiled.

“There is an order to invade the world from the demon realm. Well, it doesn't necessarily follow that order, but a Demon King with a lower level like Marbas will keep it as much as possible. It is not easy to twist it.”

Having said that, even Spencer could roughly guess what they were trying to do.

“Is there anything else terrifying? What else is this time? Will even a huge dungeon explode?”

“What is similar? It’s a little different that monsters appear directly, not dungeons.”

“Is the monster appearing directly?”

“If you keep opening the dungeon, you will stimulate the dimensional monsters living in the dimensional rift. It’s very natural.”

Spencer's expression hardened slightly.

“It looks like that dimensional monster is appearing.”

"right. Actually, he's no big deal. I use up all my strength to tear apart the dimension and come out. Of course, most Awoken on Earth are very difficult to deal with.”

“Isn’t that a big deal?”

How the hell are you going to destroy the world with something so trivial?

Ash chuckled, as if he knew what Spencer was thinking.

“It’s not a big deal, but there are a lot of them.”

“If that’s the case… will ten thousand come out?”

“How can you destroy the world just like that?”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"then?"

“If it’s the same as before… about 1 million?”

"What?"

Spancer opened her eyes wide in surprise. Then she shifted her gaze to look at Jason. It was to confirm that those words were true.

Jason nodded his head.

“Originally, that’s about it. But not enough to destroy the world.”

"so?"

“So I’m going to help out.”

“Help?”

"okay. It will help you tear apart the dimension.”

Saying that, Jason glanced at Ash, who was sitting next to Spencer.

“Because there is Ash.”

“Then how strong are you?”

Jason shook his head.

“I am not strong. To be honest, if you are at the level of the Awoken now, that is enough.”

"then?"

“The number increases. It will depend on how much power you use, but it will be about 20 times more.”

“Twenty times? Twenty million?”

Spencer suddenly became frightened.

What if all those monsters destroy the world?

“There is an easy way to get rid of the dimension monster, so you can control it. Nothing to worry too much about.”

"okay? If so..."

It was then that Spencer was relieved.

And I was convinced. I hope I can finally turn the board around.

* * *

After finishing Sahara's work, Kang Ha-jin went to Japan right away.

The best hunting efficiency was also Japan.

He couldn't go to any other country to find a hunting ground where he could level up at this rate.

So, upon arriving in Japan, I lightly greeted the members of the Guardians' Guild staying in Japan, and then went straight out of the city.

When Baekho knew that Hajin Kang had arrived, he quickly ran and hovered around the area.

Kang Ha-jin looked at such a white tiger and smiled, then set out to find a powerful monster.

how far would it go Hajin Kang suddenly stopped walking.

Baekho looked at Hajin Kang as if what was going on.

Hajin Kang looked around him carefully. In doing so, he sharpened his senses to the extreme.

I had a feeling that something was out of the ordinary.

“Is it already time for the dimensional monster to appear?”

Hajin Kang's expression hardened.
