## Chapter 589 – 589. Mt
589. MT
“Professor. What’s going on? Please explain in detail.”
“To put it simply, a Level 2 monster disaster alert has been issued for the entire Jeju Island.”
“……The entire Jeju Island?”
“Yes. Thousands of cone seahorses are advancing towards Jeju Island.”
Thousands of D-rank monsters advancing.
It was not strange that a Level 2 disaster alert was issued. But one thing. What was questionable was that no action had been taken until it reached this point.
The purpose of the Association’s existence was to prevent such things.
‘This is a dungeon break. Was there a dungeon near Jeju Island that the Association didn’t detect? Still, it’s quite surprising that the Association didn’t detect the dungeon beforehand.’
Anyway, what’s important in the current situation is to survive.
“It’s an emergency. The Association in Jeju Island is currently too busy to provide support. They are prioritizing sending hunters to places that are in worse condition than us.”
It was a natural decision from the Association’s perspective.
There are dozens of hunters in this hotel. Even though most of them are below D-rank, there is the famous A-rank hunter, Han Ah-young. They can do more than just hold out. In the case of the professors, they are retired, but they were originally at least B-rank hunters.
“As hunters, we can’t just stand still in this situation. We must take action.”
Unlike the anxious hunter students, the professors’ eyes are gleaming. They might be thinking of this situation as an opportunity to make the name of Gukcheon University widely known.
“I will also do what I can. What are you planning to do?”
The professor called me directly, so I couldn’t just stay locked in my room. And this was also an opportunity for me. I need to perform well in such special situations to earn a lot of performance points.
“Hunters below D-rank will defend the hotel, and hunters above C-rank, including you, will go outside and deal with the cone seahorses. Fortunately, Han Ah-young has also agreed to cooperate with us.”
It seemed like the discussion was already over. Han Ah-young and the other professors were quiet.
The atmosphere was not desperate.
It was because Han Ah-young was there.
With her here, hundreds of cone seahorses are not a big threat. What we need to be wary of is that the monsters advancing here might not be just cone seahorses.
‘I have to pray that a few dozen A-rank or higher monsters don’t appear at the same time.’
In that case, everyone here could be annihilated.
While I was checking my equipment, I saw Ha Seung-hee, who had belatedly come down to the first floor. Ha Seung-hee and I made eye contact. I gave her a smirk. She immediately turned her head away, pretending not to know me.
“Yujin, hyung.”
Park Su-ho, who was armed, approached me.
“Oh, Su-ho.”
“I want to go outside and help you too… but the professor told me to stay here.”
“I acknowledge your skills, but the professors look at your rank rather than your skills. And protecting the people in this hotel is also an important task.”
“Yes. I know. Hyung, be careful. I have a bad feeling about this.”
“I have no intention of dying here.”
I passed by Park Su-ho and approached Han Ha-rin and Han Ah-young.
“Ha-rin sunbae. Ah-young noona. I have something to say.”
I led them to a corner where people couldn’t see and there were no CCTVs.
“What is it?”
Han Ha-rin’s voice was sharp. She was clearly tense before the battle. On the other hand, Han Ah-young was relaxed. She acted as if this was nothing.
I stretched out my arms and wrapped them around their slender waists, pulling them into my body. I could feel their ample breasts against my upper body.
“It’s nothing much, but let’s kiss once.”
“Sung Yujin. What are you doing at a time like this…”
“Okay.”
Unlike the reluctant Han Ha-rin, Han Ah-young answered cheerfully and kissed my lips. Of course, our tongues moved and intertwined wetly.
“Unnie?!”
Han Ha-rin was flustered. She glared at Han Ah-young and then joined in as if she couldn’t lose. Han Ha-rin still had a competitive spirit against Han Ah-young. Han Ah-young, who was slightly pushed back, chuckled and joined in again.
The three of us kissed at the same time. They coveted my lips and tongue as if they were in a competition. It was an obscene sight that was rarely seen even in porn.
•••
D-rank monster, cone seahorse.
These guys originally live in rivers or the sea. They have the ability to float in the air, but they can’t stay far from the ground. And they can’t stay on land for long. Their bodies dry out quickly on land. The cone seahorse’s physical abilities drop by more than half on land.
‘But it’s raining heavily now.’
There’s no chance of the cone seahorse drying out. The weather was on the cone seahorse’s side. If it hadn’t rained heavily in the first place, they wouldn’t have come out of the sea.
Still, it’s true that they are restricted in their actions on land.
‘The cone seahorse’s attack method on land is only one. Headbutting.’
The cone seahorse’s horn can easily pierce even steel, so if you get hit head-on, it won’t end well.
‘If I’m careful of the cone seahorse’s sudden acceleration, it’s not dangerous.’
However, there wasn’t much for me to do.
Most of the cone seahorses were frozen to death by Han Ah-young’s ice attacks, or crushed by Han Ha-rin’s gravity.
All I and the professors had to do was chase after and deal with the cone seahorses that they missed.
As a result, in just 5 minutes after the battle began, over 150 cone seahorses were annihilated.
“It’s easier than I thought.”
I looked at the corpses of the cone seahorses and placed the Hwaryeon Bido I was holding on my shoulder. The cone seahorse’s magic stones were to be collected after the situation was over.
“The situation is not over yet. Don’t let your guard down, Sung Yujin.”
A professor said next to me. As he said, the situation was not over. More cone seahorses were approaching from the sea in the distance. The number was similar to before.
Han Ah-young and Han Ha-rin launched their attacks.
The falling rain turned into hail, and gravity added power to the hail. The cone seahorses were torn apart by the sisters’ power. It was a sight that overwhelmed even me who was watching.
‘That’s why people say that nature-type abilities are the best.’
I saw one surviving cone seahorse approaching this way. It looked like it was trying to vent its anger on me. It must have underestimated me because I was standing still.
I flicked my finger and used lightning.
‘Huh?’
Lightning struck the seahorse from the dark clouds. The surrounding area flashed. Kwarururung. The thunder rumbled belatedly.
‘This is….’
It felt different from usual.
‘The lightning and the dark clouds resonated.’
Most of it was the power of the dark clouds. All I did was guide the lightning in the dark clouds down. The mana I used was less than 10% of usual.
‘Haha. This is fun? It was worth raising my lightning skill.’
This environment was not only advantageous for them. This environment was also quite advantageous for me. Dark clouds with lightning and the bodies of the monsters soaked in water.
‘There’s another one alive over there.’
Kwaaang!
Lightning struck the monster. The lightning didn’t miss. It was worth raising my marksmanship skill level.
“Sung Yujin. That’s excessive. Conserve your mana.”
“It’s okay, Professor. I have plenty of mana. My condition is also very good. It feels like this environment was made as a stage for me.”
“Environment…? I see.”
The professor looked up at the dark clouds filling the sky. He seemed to have realized that I was using the dark clouds.
“Nature-type ability users can also use the power of nature. But it’s impossible for humans to completely control nature. Don’t forget that fact.”
“Yes. I know. I won’t overdo it.”
I was excited. The fun of striking monsters with lightning was addictive. It was as if I had become a god.
Two hours later. The cone seahorses crawled out of the sea again.
This time, I went first.
I wanted to test how far I could go if I used my full power.
Kurururung.
As I raised my mana, lightning wriggled in the dark clouds as if responding to it.
I knew instinctively.
The number of lightning bolts I could control at once was 33.
‘That’s more than I thought. Maybe the intelligence stat I raised this time affected my lightning skill.’
I lowered my raised head and looked at the cone seahorses that were steadily advancing.
About 200 of them.
I could handle them alone now.
‘Die, all of you.’
33 blue lightning bolts fell to the ground.
The electrocuted seahorses collapsed without even screaming. But there were still some left.
‘Not enough yet.’
I kept dropping lightning bolts until all my mana was gone.
My vision flashed, and the thunder rumbled so loudly that it felt like it would tear my eardrums.
And when my mana was depleted, there were no more cone seahorses moving. Smoke was rising from the charred black corpses of the cone seahorses.
“Good work, Yujin. You’re amazing. No one would think you’re a C-rank hunter if they saw this.”
“I was lucky. I want to go inside and rest, but can I leave the cleanup to you?”
“Your juniors will do the cleanup. Go and rest.”
I turned around and walked towards the hotel.
My lips were trembling. It was hard to contain my joy.
I never thought I could unleash this much power.
‘Sex! I want to have sex!’
I wanted to release this joy with sex as soon as possible.

“The Association’s orders have been issued.”
The professor said to the gathered hunters.
“What are the orders?”
“We are ordered to stay in the hotel and protect the civilians until the situation is over. Fortunately, the food in the hotel is enough to last for ten days.”
No one was surprised.
Because they had expected it. If we hunters left this place, the civilians would die, and the situation was similar in other parts of Jeju Island. And with the wind and rain like this, it was impossible to leave Jeju Island by plane.
A ship? The wave height was no joke, and above all, there were cone seahorses in the sea. Going out to sea now was suicide.
“The only good thing is that the cone seahorses are not attacking all at once, but advancing at regular intervals. The amount is gradually increasing though… but we have Han Ah-young. We can hold out until the Association resolves the situation.”
Everyone’s faces were not dark.
It was because they had already blocked the cone seahorse attacks several times without any injuries.
“Other civilians have also agreed to cooperate with us. Rest until the cone seahorses appear again.”
“Professor.”
Han Ha-rin called the professor.
“Professor, what do you think is the cause of this situation?”
“The cause… I can’t say for sure with my knowledge. To tell you the Association’s guess, the cause is an encroaching dungeon.”
“Are you saying that this situation is happening because of the influence of an encroaching dungeon?”
“Probably. The evidence is in the sky. The dark clouds filling the sky have not moved at all since last night and are staying over Jeju Island. This is a clear anomaly.”
“If this is because of a dungeon… then the dungeon core must be somewhere.”
“That’s not our job. It’s the Association’s job. Han Ha-rin, go inside and rest now. We need your strength.”
“Yes. I’ll go inside.”
•••
I pretended to go back to my room and entered Ha Seung-hee’s room.
“Do you want to do that even in this situation?!”
“Even in this situation, a contract is a contract. I need to check your condition.”
“Haa. I guess you’ll do it no matter what I say.”
Ha Seung-hee sighed and lifted her skirt. It was a luxurious purple panty. I reached out and pulled her panties down.
“I thought you would put up a fight, but you suddenly became docile? What are you thinking?”
“I’m not thinking anything else. I’m just fulfilling the contract.”
“That doesn’t seem like it. You changed your mind after seeing my performance today, didn’t you? Maybe I’ll become an S-rank hunter later.”
“……”
Ha Seung-hee didn’t deny it and remained silent.
An S-rank hunter.
A being that you can get some benefits from just by being close to.
Ha Seung-hee must have seen the possibility of me becoming an S-rank hunter. If not, she would have reacted sharply like the day before yesterday.
‘A chaebol’s third-generation daughter and a materialistic woman. Hehe.’
I reached out to Ha Seung-hee’s pussy.
