chapter 31
Chapter 031 Dungeon Break (1)
‘Ominous. No, it’s unpleasant.’
I came out to jog in the morning, but I didn’t feel good from the morning because of the large wreath standing in front of our building.
<Congratulations on the founding of the Avengers Guild. Chairman Pyo Cheon-deuk of the Awakened Association.>
Other guilds also sent wreaths, but for some reason, the wreath sent by Pyo Chun-deuk was sloppy.
It wasn’t like exchanging wreaths.
Moreover, unexpectedly, it was not the delivery man who brought the wreath that ruined my morning schedule, but an association employee.
At first, I just tried to kick him out, but I brought him to the office to find out what Pyo Cheon-deuk’s intentions were.
“Would you like some mixed coffee?”
“Oh, no. it’s okay.”
“Does the association make its employees do things like this?”
“hahahaha… … . No, I don’t usually do it, but the president of the association says it’s important… He told me to go directly.”
“What kind of important thing do you want?”
To my question, the employee hesitated and scratched the back of his head as if he himself was dumbfounded.
“Well, like the unfortunate events that happened the other day, he asked me to make an appointment to treat him once.”
It was absurd.
You sent a wreath and an employee because you wanted to have a meal with me?
Even if you come by yourself, is it not enough?
“Oh, of course. Not the normal way. But I couldn’t help it. As the president of the association went on a business trip abroad… … .”
Are you overseas?
There was only one thing the president of the Awakened Association had to do to go abroad.
“Is the World Awakened Association meeting scheduled?”
“uh? Do you know?”
Has it already happened?
[What is that?]
Gilliant, who had been silent, asked if he was curious.
‘The World Awakened Association is a world organization created by associations from various countries. Gate incidents are not unique to Korea.’
The associations of each country were natural, but the World Awakened Association was an artificial organization.
Since it was a global event, mutual information was needed, and the World Awakened Association was created by 149 countries that had associations for this purpose.
And they meet every year in the form of a seminar.
‘Perhaps, at this meeting, information that we know about how to officially close the gate will come and go.’
China knew this first, but it was a country that was so closed to information that it did not inform it separately, and now it was time for many countries to know little by little about how to close the gate.
I came to know about my country because of me.
[Can I not care about that?]
‘Even if it’s artificial, it’s a national union. Like Pyo Chun-deuk, he’s so big that an individual can’t influence it.’
The restraints in it will be considerable. After 10 years, it will still have a systematic system, but so far it has been nothing more than an organization that shares information with each other and supports the awakened people as an alliance of nations.
Still, I thought I should prepare little by little for going abroad.
If he went out as a mercenary, he would be able to gain quite a bit.
“So, are you saying that I sent you to ask if you were going abroad? Would you have been able to come and visit me?”
“Well, you don’t know what kind of schedule will come up after you go, so make an appointment according to your return schedule… … .”
When I expressed a nuance that seemed like I would refuse, the employee put on a puzzled expression.
Seeing him like that made me feel sorry for him.
In particular, he is not an awakened person, but a salary earner, so it would be shocking.
“You are suffering a lot. I’ll get it first. I’ll set up a schedule like that. When will Chairman Pyo Chun-deuk return?”
“I have a flight on Tuesday morning in two weeks. You talked about it that evening.”
“Yes, then we will do that.”
I checked the calendar on the desk and sent the employee back.
[You want to meet me?]
‘You’re well aware of the disadvantages of breaking the agreement. Even so, the reason you asked to see me again must be because you wanted to ask for something. It’s like a serpent’s inspiration.’
I was curious.
Why do you suddenly want to see me?
Besides, if I was coaxed, I might be able to hear information from the World Association.
Follow Leureung.
“Yes, I am Avengers Seojun Yu.”
At that time, when I answered the call to the office, I heard an urgent voice over the handset.
– Whoa, Elementalist! Dawn, it’s a dungeon break!
what? Dungeon Break?
When I heard that the dungeon break, which had been rare these days, had exploded, I hurriedly asked for the location.
“Where are you?”
-This is Dobong-gu Office in Seoul! Please help me! Monsters are rampaging.
“Other guilds!”
– We have contacted you!
“I’ll be there soon. Evacuate the citizens underground!”
-yes!
This was a frequent occurrence five years ago when Gates were first created.
We recorded the two years in which the break continued as a history of hell.
At that time, I thought the real world would perish.
After that, it was quiet, but brakes started to appear again around Dobong-gu Office.
[Is there any way to stop it?]
“It’s different from not doing dungeons. It’s a war of attrition. I have no choice but to block the monsters until they stop.”
It was a situation where all hunters had to join forces, regardless of whether it was an enemy or a good relationship.
In terms of military operations, one Jindo dog.
It was a local provocation by alien monsters.

“Put on your seat belts.”
Suyeon, sitting in the driver’s seat, said with a sad expression.
I sat in the passenger seat, and Lee Hwi-hyung and Min-young sat in the back seat.
“Dungeon Break is back?”
Lee Hui-hyung asked as if he didn’t understand.
The Gate, which had been quiet for three years, began to stir again.
“Yes, it must be the first time since the last explosion in Ilsan three years ago.”
After confirming that we had fastened our seat belts, Soo-yeon stepped on the accelerator.
“Didn’t you just say you shouldn’t have an accident?”
“Uh, road traffic and approved.”
No matter how much money the corporate guilds spent in this country, not all guilds had helicopters.
In the end, you have to mobilize in a vehicle in this situation, but what if the hunters are late when police cars and ambulances are having a hard time in this narrow land?
So, when there was an urgent mobilization of this scale in the country, national roads were cleared to prevent accidents and tickets for speed violations and signal violations were not lifted.
Of course, there were some hunters who had the ability to fly.
Only Gillian with wings could do that among us.
“Ahh! Soo Yeon-ah! Car ahead!”
The car we are riding is an SUV that we bought together when we bought the building this time.
I decided on this car after looking for a car that could carry all of our personnel, was safe in case of an accident, and had a strong engine.
Suyeon did the driving because Suyeon is the most proficient among us.
“Kya! person! person!”
“I know!”
Soo-yeon showed off her unstoppable driving skills, and Min-young, surprised, shouted whenever there was a crisis.
Lee Hwi-hyung was covering his ears as if Min-yeong’s sound was more painful than Soo-yeon’s driving.
Ki-Ik-
The moment we saw the ‘Dobong-gu’ sign in front of us, almost taking a picture of a car action movie, Su-yeon pulled the handbrake and stopped the car.
“Hey, this is what it is.”
The situation in Dobong-gu, seen through the window of a stopped vehicle, was a mess.
Buildings were burning here and there, and the Hunters who arrived first were working hard to rectify the situation.
“Let’s join us too.”
As I got out of the car, I took Theseus’s sword from my magic pouch.
[Link Start]
At the same time, I opened the storage box and linked the character cards.
*Support Skill[5/5]▼
┗Class C appraisal (fixed)
┗S-rank Charleigh’s Sword (12 hours)
┗S-class knight’s fighting spirit (12 hours)
┗S-Class Douglas’ Will (12 hours)
┗S-rank Douglas’ shield technique (12 hours)
First of all, it was Charleigh and Douglas who linked.
[Knight’s Fighting Spirit]
The knights raise their fighting spirit and add momentum to the fight.
Increases stamina to maintain fighting spirit for a certain period of time.
[Douglas’ Will]
When Douglas’ will as a hero is put on his shield, no one can pierce him.
After reading the description of the skill, I took out a shield of thorns and fixed it to my left arm.
With a sword and a shield in front, he looked like an invincible warrior.
“I will bless you!”
Min-young got out of the car and congratulated us.
After receiving Minyoung’s blessing, the sword and shield he was holding seemed to become lighter.
It was a testament to the increased strength and stamina.
Kiaag!
The guys who were confronting the Hunters were of various types.
Monsters mixed with regular monsters from fantasy novels, such as orcs and goblins, were also in the form of bugs or animals.
“Min-young helps the support hunters around her, and Soo-yeon goes with me. Lee Hwi-hyung, are you okay?”
“huh! Don’t worry. You may have seen it in the mole dungeon, but I know how to protect myself.”
After preparing, we went to the Hunters and joined the battle.

“Fire up! Fire Will!”
“Cyclone!”
The staff of the Mage Tower stood in two rows and cast magic on the monsters pouring out of the wide open gates.
In front of them, members of the Steel Guild faced the monsters with their own weapons.
“hot! Die, you monster!”
“Get out of the way if you don’t want to get hurt!”
A red-haired woman flitted past the steel guild member who was about to decapitate an orc.
“Hansoi! Dangerous!”
Jumping into the middle of enemy lines, she reached out both hands toward the monsters.
Keck! Keek!
Kyaaa!
Then, like a lie, blood was drawn from dozens of monsters in front of her and gathered in her hand to create a sphere of blood.
“Dirty blood. don’t give it back.”
Han So-yi, who uttered that, threw a ball of blood, and the ball that flew near the gate exploded in an instant, splashing blood in all directions.
The nearby monsters suffered as their bodies melted as they were hit by the rain of blood.
However, despite their efforts, monsters were constantly pouring out of the five gates in front.
“sh*t! There is no end to this!”
Kang Chun-soo, the guild leader of the Blue Dragon Guild, decapitated one of the monsters with an unwol sword and looked at the monsters incessantly, with a devastated expression on his face.
As the guild was the first to arrive at the scene of the incident, the guild members’ fatigue was at its peak.
“I am an elementalist!”
“The Avengers have joined!”
At that time, the guild members shouted happily.
Kang Chun-soo turned around to see Yoo Seo-joon and his colleagues running towards him.
No, Yoo Seo-joon almost seemed to be flying.
Yoo Seo-joon, who had narrowed the distance in an instant, had a sword in one hand and a shield on his left arm.
‘Wasn’t Yoo Seo-joon a wizard?’
Obviously, Kang Chun-soo knew that.
However, the appearance of Yoo Seo-jun I saw today was a hunter with unmistakable close combat characteristics.
However, Chun-soo Kang nodded when he saw Yoo Seo-joon fighting the monsters.
‘Sure it is. I must have learned a few melee combats with skill cards.’
Yoo Seo-joon, who passed by him, stretched out his hand toward the monsters, followed by his trademark elemental magic.
Kyaaah!
The wind of flame that started from the center burned the monsters mercilessly.
And Kang Chun-soo, who took a moment to catch his breath in his inaction, opened his mouth unknowingly.
‘No, but it’s still like that! What level of skill card did he buy!’
Kang Chun-soo, who misunderstood that Yoo Seo-jun had learned an auxiliary skill with a skill card that had recently started to be unlocked, couldn’t help but admire Yoo Seo-jun’s swordsmanship in front of him.
*
‘Charleigh’s sword method.’
After first burning the monsters using the elements of fire and wind, I immediately cast Charleigh’s sword technique.
Kyaaah!
Five orcs who were out of range of the fire element charged at the same time.
I entrusted myself to skill.
Before long, Charleigh’s swordsmanship moved my body.
As he stepped out, his body turned around, and the sword moved naturally along his body.
The mana circle in his heart seemed to be throbbing, and mana began to form on the sword through the hand holding the sword.
When I finished that one rotation, the heads of the five orcs that were charging at me fell off neatly.
‘This is the S-class swordsmanship?!’
