Solo Leveling- Ragnarok

Chapter 174 - 174



Chapter 174:

After that.

The Knights Guild received 1 billion won from the Woojin Guild and handed over the rights to attack a total of three intermediate dungeons.

Three intermediate dungeons in the Yeongnam region, including Busan.

The fact that they handed over this place for only 1 billion was proof of how grateful they were to Suho for this matter.

The Knights Guild even provided consideration that was not requested.

"There is no healer in the Woojin guild yet. "While you are active in Busan, we will provide support to one of the most skilled healers in our knight guild."

"Healer? No, you don't even need to do that...."

Lim Do-gyun, who was buried in the contract handed over by Su-ho, initially tried to reject the consideration of Park Jong-soo, the president of the Knights.

However, Lim Tae-gyu, who was helping with the contract process, quickly accepted the offer.

"Is that skilled healer, by any chance, Hunter Lee Joo-hee?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Hoo."

Lim Tae-gyu looked quite surprised.

Then he immediately whispered into Lim Do-gyun's ear.

"Take it unconditionally. Hunter Lee Joo-hee would be quite helpful. "In many ways."

"yes? In many ways...?"

Lim Do-gyun is puzzled.

Lim Tae-gyu did not even listen to his son's answer, but took the initiative and grabbed President Park Jong-su's hand and smiled.

"Thank you for your consideration. As expected, the reputation of the Knights Guild is well-known, and they pay great attention to even the smallest detail."

"Oh no, no. "Hunter Lee Joo-hee volunteered for this first."

"Ah, you are Hunter Lee Joo-hee as expected."

"...?"

Lim Do-gyun was still confused as he did not know how the situation was going.

'Anyway, does this mean that the Knights will reduce dungeon prices and provide support for healers?'

This was proof that Haeundae, which Suho protected, was of great value in Busan.

Anyway, like that.

Woojin Guild, led by Suho, began full-scale activities in Busan.

...However, like the Knights Guild, not all hunters in Busan were friendly to the Woojin Guild.

'Hey, did you hear? I heard that the Knights Guild handed over three intermediate dungeons to the Ujin Guild? And that too at a cheap price.'

'No, if that's the case, why did you have such a fierce bidding competition with us?'

'No matter how active they were in Haeundae, this is not the case!'

'If there was a lack of manpower from the beginning, we could take over the dungeon first or not. Or isn't it right to give our guild a chance first?'

'If the Haeundae Knights Guild had done its job properly in the first place, wouldn't there have been a need to bring in mercenaries from outside?'

'Anyway, the large guild is big, but it doesn't have any substance.'

Dissatisfaction began to emerge from small and medium-sized guilds in Busan that were usually pressured by the Knights Guild, the largest guild in Busan.

It was some kind of territorial bird.

But their complaints were not entirely unfounded.

Haeundae incident resolved by Woojin Guild.

There were many people in Haeundae who saw this serious situation in person, but hunters from other guilds were busy attacking other dungeons at that time.

That is why most people were able to hear about the incident only late through the news.

Seeing a disaster through a screen is bound to be less effective than actually seeing it in front of your eyes.

But now, when the news came out that the mayor of Busan personally came out and gave a plaque of appreciation, they couldn't hold back their anger.

'No, f*ck. 'What on earth are the Woojin guild doing, making such a fuss?'

'I heard it's a new guild with only three people?'

'what the. The guild leader is a C-level hunter and the vice-guild leader is an E-level hunter? 'It's not even funny.'

'So what on earth did they do?'

'At the end of the video, a foreigner named Esil found the location of the gate?'

'I heard that a guy named Seong Su-ho killed a boss mob, but there was nothing captured on video about how he did it?'

...Because most of the full-scale battle took place within the instance dungeon launched by Harmakan, the embers created began to burn their dissatisfaction.

And eventually.

"for a moment."

There were people who stood in front of the Woojin guild, who arrived at the gate to attack the intermediate dungeon that had been transferred to them in exchange for money.

'hmm?'

Suho looked at them with a puzzled expression.

They were faces I didn't know.

"Suho. "No, guild leader."

Lim Do-gyun, who was next to him, quickly whispered into Su-ho's ear.

"They are famous hunters in Busan. name is...."

"What's going on?"

Suho asked them while listening to Lim Do-gyun's explanation.

Then, the large hunter among them stepped in front of Suho with a grim expression and exposed his teeth.

"hey...."

"Now, wait a minute! Hunter Noh Jun-ki, you can't do this here! "This dungeon is the territory of the Woojin guild!"

The Hunter Association employees of the Busan branch who managed the gate were very embarrassed and blocked the way for the hunters who suddenly entered the scene.

Then, the large hunter, Noh Jun-ki, glared with a disapproving expression at the association employees who were restraining him.

"I know. "Who doesn't know Korean?"

His eyes glanced at a sign posted nearby.

[Gwangalli Gate]

※No entry except Woojin guild.

Puzzle.

Then, he gritted his teeth and turned his vicious attitude towards the association employees again.

"Well, is it okay for the association to do this?"

"yes? What do you mean... ...."

"I mean, is it okay for the association to break the laws established by the association first?"

Noh Jun-gi said as he looked at each of the Hunters in the Woojin Guild.

Guild leaders Seong Su-ho, Lim Do-gyun, and Essil.

"under. This is truly absurd. Only 3 people? Since when did it become acceptable to attack a mid-level dungeon with only this many people?"

"you're right. "Isn't there a minimum of 10 people in the raid group?"

"This is clearly illegal."

The other hunters that Noh Jun-ki had brought along also raised their voices and began to agree with his words, as if they had been waiting.

'You came here with complete intention.'

Suho laughed at that sight.

Hunters' sit-in protests are on a different level from those held by ordinary people.

As the hunters, led by Noh Jun-ki, expressed their dissatisfaction by substantially increasing their magical power, even the air in the area was shaking ominously.

"Now, calm down for a moment...."

The problem was that the association employees who had to deal with that energy were non-awakened people because they had office jobs.

They were so weighed down by the energy that Hunters, including Noh Jun-gi, were emitting here and there that they could not even breathe properly.

It was then.

"S-sorry... ...! "I'm a little late!"

The moment Lee Joo-hee, a B-level healer supported by the Knights Guild, arrives at the scene.

"...uh?"

In an instant, the heavy air became lighter, and the hunters' energy disappeared like a lie.

"Hey, Hunter Lee Joo-hee?"

"What is Joohee Lee doing here?"

Their eyes widened as they recognized Lee Joo-hee.

"ah! Long time no see. "I'm really glad that everyone looks healthy."

Lee Joo-hee also recognized the hunters and bowed to them, and they waved their hands, not knowing what to do.

"Oh my, Lee Joo-hee. Why are you doing this! "We should say hello!"

"Joohee Lee, have you been okay so far?"

"I heard that you joined the Knights Guild. "But what are you doing here?"

"Ah, after hearing that there were no healers in the Woojin guild, I came out to provide support for the time being."

"...!"

'hmm?'

Lee Chae appeared in Suho's eyes.

With the sudden appearance of Lee Joo-hee, the situation began to take a strange turn.

"President Seong Su-ho, I'm sorry I'm late."

Lee Joo-hee approached Su-ho and politely apologized again.

"No, thanks. "You're only a few minutes late."

"And actually, I have one more thing to be sorry about. "I came across a car accident scene on the way, so I used up some of my magic power to heal the emergency patients."

It was Lee Joo-hee who sincerely apologized once again.

It was a very big mistake for the healer to waste magic power before conquering the dungeon.

However, if the reason was to save emergency patients, no one who knew Lee Joo-hee's usual personality could fault that mistake.

"Ah, you're still the same."

"As expected, Lee Joo-hee...."

"Hmm."

especially...It was a time when I was a novice hunter with no money or connections.

It had a special meaning to the hunters in Busan who had experienced receiving heals from her for free at least once.

Until relatively recently, Lee Joo-hee worked as a freelance healer and treated injured hunters for free.

She was not given the nickname 'Saint of Busan' for nothing.

"Hmm."

"Hehehe."

The hunters attacked with great force, but suddenly hesitated in front of Lee Joo-hee with a shy expression.

'Ah, that's why I said it would be helpful in many ways.'

In the returning atmosphere, Lim Do-gyun was finally able to understand what Lim Tae-gyu said.

"...Well, still!"

Noh Jun-ki closed his eyes tightly and opened his mouth again.

Then the other hunters also tried to avoid Lee Joo-hee's eyes and gained momentum again.

"Illegal is illegal!"

"The minimum number of people to attack is a rule set by the association!"

Limiting the number of people is the minimum safety measure for hunters.

It was a rule put in place by the association to prevent hunters from blindly entering dungeons and losing their lives.

"Selling a dangerous dungeon to such a weak guild!"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that."

"...yes?"

Lee Joo-hee, who finally noticed what was going on, suddenly smiled and calmed their complaints.

"It is true that there is a minimum number of people limit, but when making the rule, Association President Woo Jin-cheol made a special exception condition."

"..."What is that?"

Looking at the frowning hunters, Lee Joo-hee suddenly had this thought.

Woo Jin-cheol, president of the association.

A great person who has always taken special steps after the cataclysm.

Could it be that his insight had anticipated this situation from the beginning?

"The number of people in the raid includes the number of summons."

As soon as Lee Joo-hee finished explaining, Su-ho opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

"Get up."

...!

That moment.

There was astonishment in the eyes of all the hunters.

Numerous summoned beasts rose up all at once, centered around Suho!

The powerful energy emitted by the shadow soldiers, with pitch-black steam swirling all over their bodies, exploded in all directions.

Noh Jun-ki, who was in front, was so startled by the fierce momentum that he almost took a step back.

But then.

suddenly.

Ver, a small ant that put its face in front of Noh Jun-ki, unleashed even more ferocious force.

[Keeeeeeeeeeeeek-!]

"Uh huh...!"

Craddangtang!

Noh Jun-ki ended up getting his ass kicked.

"Okay then."

Suho was dumbfounded and turned away from them sitting there.

He smiled faintly as he glared at the ominously blue gate in front of him.

"Let's get started soon."

and.

[Your level has risen!]

[Your level has risen!]

The time it took for the Ujin guild to conquer all the intermediate dungeons handed over to the Knights guild.

It was only 3 days.

That includes the time it took to mine.

"..."This is ridiculous!"

All the hunters in Busan, including Noh Jun-gi, were astonished at the incredible speed.

* * *

And around that time.

In America.

"hmm. "I should tell this to Seong Su-ho."

Steve Thomas Andre, the president of the guild and America's strongest S-class hunter, leisurely took out his cell phone.

-Thomas?

"oh. "I'm getting a phone call right now."

Thomas Andre said with a grin as he heard Seong Su-ho's voice coming from the other end of the cell phone.

"You've become quite famous in Korea these days, right? "We're both busy, so let's just get to the point."

There was a soft light coming from Thomas Andre's body as he spoke on the phone.

"First of all, your mother said she found something in the tomb of the dragons, and she asked you to pass it on to her. "I heard that Laura also found a high-grade magic stone, so I sent it with her, so she will arrive soon."

Cha Hae-in, who decided to stay a little longer at the Tomb of the Dragons, decided to deliver the goods through the Scavenger Guild working on Facade Island.

"Oh, and."

Tomas Andre's other hand, which was not holding his cell phone, glanced at the face of the corpse he was holding by the collar and continued.

"I just killed an Apostle of Italim."

...!

Surprisingly, the ground where Thomas Andre was standing now had a huge crater formed, as if a meteorite had fallen.

Passyuk.

Soon the corpse he was holding broke into pieces and scattered like ashes.

Shaaaaa.

And the ash turned into light powder and seeped into Thomas Andre's body.

-Who was it?

"It's just as we guessed."

Absorbing that power, Thomas Andre looked back at the face of the hunter he had killed.

"Christopher Reed."

He was a man who was a national power level hunter in the United States in his previous life.
