Chapter 180 – Allies and Outcasts
Gangwon Central Special District.
I was staying at the Taeyoung Guild near the Hapi Mountains, which I had previously cleared, and looking up at the sky.
The foggy magic powers gather on the high mountain peaks like dark clouds and become dark.
It was a sign that a crack was about to burst.
The allied attack predicted by Estrote will begin today.
The dangerous area in the mountains of Gangwon is an important base that is difficult to recover once it is overrun by monsters.
I have come to protect this place.
Large cities, safety zones, power plants, and other military bases where many citizens live are protected by the Korea Hunter Association, which was established by Yoo Yu-han.
I was guarding a relatively undefended backcountry.
Of course, I did not get permission from the Korea Hunter Association.
I’m officially an outcast.
Hunter registration has been canceled.
Although not Korean citizens, they were secretly waiting here to protect people from the allied forces.
Fighting with the Constitutional Commission was the same as the emperor who was ranked No. 1 in the past, but I did not abandon Korea.
This is my country
It is the place where I was born and raised, where I learned society, and where I made memories.
Our country.
I love people who use the same Hangeul, enjoy the same culture, and hang out in the same environment.
Even though they criticized me and kicked me out, I didn’t turn away from them.
Because I wanted to protect my country.
Even with a few oddballs mixed in, this was basically the platform on which I had my roots.
I will make sure that destruction does not erase all values.
Well, the milking paradise I was going to establish was safe only when the system world was intact.
In many ways, Korea was a space I must protect.
“Is that person lucky? Shouldn’t I report it?”
“Don’t be silly. Can’t you see the magic over there? If a rift bursts there, we will all die.”
People from the Taeyoung Guild looked at me from behind as I was standing on the building site looking at the cracks and chattered.
The superimposed magic power on the mountain peak creates a sense of crisis.
At a time like this, if I, the lord of paradise and an S-class hunter, protects this place, they will be very reassuring.
I didn’t think of kicking him out of the city as an outcast.
While I was clearing the Hapi Mountains, there were people I knew.
“Are you really the C-Class Hunter Cheonun of that time?”
Park Min-joon, who was in charge of the Hapi Mountains guide in the past, smiled at me.
The people of Taeyoung Guild welcomed me, who had grown beyond recognition.
It’s a celebrity they know.
He talked about the memories of clearing the Harpy Mountains.
“Lee Yu-na, Hong Wol-yeong, Shin Na-yeon, and the demons. I can’t believe it even when I see it.”
Park Min-joon laughed at the party members I brought.
Looking at such an amazing sight, I can’t help but admire it.
I was appreciating the beauty of women like CG.
I am overwhelmed by the charm of these girls who have a higher breast milk constitution than me who is simply standing.
“Did you have any problems in the meantime?”
“After you cleared the Hapi Mountains, the Taeyoung Guild helped the surrounding guilds to protect the dangerous area in central Gangwon. Even though the rifts burst from time to time, they have never been so dangerous.”
I briefly exchanged my regards with him.
This danger zone I protected before has been safe.
While helping the surrounding area.
This can’t be very good news.
By saving a city that was in ruins, the surrounding area was also revived.
“But what if it blows up? They said the world would end The magic power scale is no joke, really.”
He stared at the mountain peaks and made his fuss.
If I hadn’t been here, they might all have run away.
It was because the size of the rift was reaching S-class even with the magic I could barely feel.
It wasn’t only here that the large-scale mana was gathered in Korea, but the mana gathered here was already S-class.
I’m going to be really busy today.
I have designated several bases I want to protect.
Even after clearing the rifts here, he was planning to go around the country using [Creation of rifts].
Since Estrote was with her, she was free to move in space.
The milking party tours the country and defeats allied forces.

“Emergency! Emergency!”
Korea Hunter Union Operation Command and Control Room.
The alarm sounded continuously, and the staff were crying out in despair.
Crack size estimate floating on computer screen.
Far exceeded the standard they expected.
“You weak man! Evacuate citizens across the country! I will never stop this!”
“S-class cracks 1, 2, 3, 5… Class A cracks and many more…”
“My God, what is that? Isn’t that about S-class?”
“S+ class crack? Ah, please…”
The point where the crack occurs is displayed in red on the screen in front of the employees.
The larger the size, the higher the crack burst.
On the Korean Peninsula, five S-class cracks, numerous other A-class and lower cracks, and even a crack presumed to be S+-class appeared.
Unprecedented scale.
Even if it occurred all over the world, there were so many cracks that could be called catastrophes, even in Korea alone.
I don’t even want to look at other countries.
Because the whole world is full of red dots.
It was a sight worthy of lamenting that the world would truly perish.
“Haha.”
Looking at the screen, the weak man’s breath quickened.
Allied forces, allied forces.
I heard only the sound of people talking, but fear came when the truth was revealed.
It was despair.
It was the destruction of a world, and it was a fire that would swallow up even the system world in an instant.
It reminds me of the future of a world that will collapse and burn.
It became dark before my eyes.
It was helpless, as is the case with an incompetent command in a disaster movie.
I was devastated.
Does the actor who plays the commander in the movie feel this way?
This is reality, not a movie.
The disaster that has come to reality makes the limbs tremble and prevents normal judgment.
“Eh, didn’t the Estroteran demons say the allied forces were invading today?”
“I didn’t expect it to be on this scale…”
Employees in the control room talking in hollow voices.
Everything Estrote said was correct.
It was a known disaster.
It was the Korea Hunter Association that ignored it and dismissed it as a lie.
The demons they had turned away from knew everything.
“Yu, weak man! What should I do?”
“Hunters are sorely lacking! Hunters in safe zones have to be released all over the country… !”
“No, we need to gather the hunters in one place! At least one place needs to be properly guarded… !”
“Warrior! Where is the warrior! He will close the rift!”
As Yuyakhan lost his words and stood in a daze, the staff members began to express their opinions.
No matter what I thought of in front of a very strong enemy, the answer did not come out.
Disaster if you do this, disaster if you do that.
The only result is that the entire country will be devastated.
“This, evacuate the citizens to a safe zone for now.”
“What about the local people? What about those people? There will be no proper shelter.”
“Send the hunters.”
“Hunters? If you dispatch now, it will be too late!”
The weak one is thinking of a countermeasure, but he has never been prepared for this situation.
Hearing rumors of the allied forces, I just thought that high-level rifts could burst, but I didn’t know that so many rifts would pour out on a large scale all over the world.
“You weak sir!”
Employees shouting his name.
Yoo Yak-han thought about what he would have done if Hong Jae-hoon had been present at a time like this.
Hong Jae-hun, who has led the Hunter Association for 20 years.
If so, would he have been able to deal with this situation resolutely?
Reminds me of the countermeasures meetings held by Hong Jae-hoon and the hunters who attended them.
I should have trusted them
It was not because he fell for Jeon Yong-gyun’s words and assumed the position of president of the association.
It was not possible to run the association as before.
There were a lot of hunters who rebelled against him and left Korea, so greed grew angry.
*
Damn it.
The magical energy that covered the mountain peaks was gathering and the space was splitting.
Layer upon layer of mana oppresses space mana, making it active in all directions.
The friction between magic attributes was made with a city-sized mass and bounced off like a spark.
There was a gap that stretched like a spider’s web.
A tear in space, a passage that crosses dimensions.
Cracks widened like clouds wrapping around a mountain.
Grrr.
Aaaaa-
Goosebumps resound.
A tearing cry that makes you want to close your ear canals and protect your hearing.
As the reality of despair was revealed, monsters were popping out of the cracks.
“It’s not a dragon, that’s a chimera.”
Estrote, who was observing the rift, said in a calm voice.
We were watching the mountain peak at Taeyoung Guild.
Residents hid in underground shelters.
Only hunters and soldiers come out into the streets and face the cracks.
“Chimera?”
“It’s an artificial creature created by the wizard corps. The owner must have seen it too. Half Giant.”
Estrote explained the origin of the opponent.
The wizards who led the destruction completed the chimera by combining creatures of various races through experiments.
The half-giant I had previously dealt with.
It was a synthetic creature of a giant, a fairy, a human, and a lizard.
“They were also chimeras.”
“If I had to argue, they were abandoned Chimeras. Those chimeras belonging to the wizard corps are far more powerful than half-giants. Please be careful.”
Hearing Estrote’s warning, he looked at the Chimera.
A lizard with three heads. It has crow’s wings.
The tail resembles that of a cow.
An unusual creature at first glance.
The word monster comes out of nowhere.
The chimeras that came out of the rift each looked different, but their muscles swelled in a balanced way, perhaps because they were a group of successful works.
It had thick armor and sharp horns.
[Three-headed Chimera (S-class monster) who wants to slaughter]
[Goat-headed Goat-headed Bird (S-rank Monster)]
[Horned Helmet Cockroach (S-class monster) that eats away at life]
…
Monsters large and small vomited from the cracks.
The one who flies, the one who rides down the mountain peak, the one who rolls.
Things that look unrealistic spread all over the place.
If they come, a city will be destroyed in an instant.
I took out my sword.
If it was a monster of that grade, the hunters of the Taeyoung Guild would be of no help.
As for their power, the highest rank hunter was only A rank,
The milking party had to quickly clear the rift to prevent any more monsters from coming out.
A subordinate brought from the Paradise Castle.
He told Jung Yunhwan and his demons to protect Taeyoung’s guild.
They bow their heads.
He was getting used to listening to my commands.
We will defend the city while we clear the rift.
[Chunun-ryu Magic: Phoenix]
Created a 4-meter phoenix.
He often studied magic with Hong Wol-young, so his knowledge of red flames deepened.
There was plenty of space left even after the fire bird that was created burned two people.
I got on the Phoenix with Lee Yu-na and flew in the sky.
On one side, Shin Na-yeon was sitting behind Hong Wol-young, riding her cane together.
Estrote flapped her little wings, then grew into shape, perhaps because of her slowness.
A demon with silver hair that has changed to an adult body shape.
Bat wings were also stretched out to the side.
“What? Was it possible for you to grow taller?”
“I just changed my body shape a little bit. Master, do you think this form is better?”
Estrote gently wags his long tail at my question.
The taller figure was also pretty, but after all, the small body is the real figure.
It was only when he flew in the sky that he changed into that shape.
The tall Estroterra, it was amazing.
“No, it doesn’t matter?”
Since milking is performed in its true form, it was okay to transform into any form in other situations.
She smiled thinly at my reaction, not caring much about anything other than my real appearance.
As I grew taller, even the same smile felt different, so it was unfamiliar.
Estrothe’s mask is ever-changing.
I flew through the sky and quickly jumped into the rift.
The chimeras that came in contact with us fell to the ground with their magic stones destroyed regardless of their grade, body type, or characteristics.
Compared to our current level, the monsters in the S-class rift were nothing but common mobs.
