CH 83

Called a fissure, it was created by tearing apart the Earth’s space.

The size of the tear determines the strength of the crack, and monsters pour out of it.

Those monsters were within the gate, and there was a high probability that they were monsters in a remote area where humans could not go hunting.

When monsters are accumulated in the hunting ground and a boss is born, a dimensional rift opens. The phenomenon in which the nightmares in the hunting ground come over to Earth is called a crack.

When the cracks occur, the energy that gathers mana is emitted, and you can feel the energy only if there is a person with a unique level or higher mana detection ability within 500m.

However, even if there was a person with good mana detection nearby, the time to prepare depends on the size of the crack, but usually only 5 to 30 minutes at most.

As a result, if cracks occurred, the damage was inevitable no matter how swiftly the response was made.

This time, the first crack occurred near Yeong Jong Island, Incheon, managed by the Geumhwa Guild.

The rift opened, and a hideous, gray-skinned, humanoid monster troll came pouring out with a club or an old ax.

Then they destroyed what they could see and ran towards those running away.

Since Incheon is an area managed by the second largest Geumhwa Guild in Korea, it is up to the Geumhwa Guild and the people there to respond. Daehan, which occupies the center of Seoul, supported them as needed.

Since cracks usually occur once, all local guilds, including Daehan, had to wait in a tense state.

However, the scope of the neighboring area was wide enough to mean the entirety of South Korea. Since it occurred in Incheon, cracks could also appear in the eastern part of China and North Korea.

And the location where the cracks occurred was populated areas primarily.

In Seoul, which has a large population, even if cracks were opened, the damage was relatively small due to the protection of local solid guilds.

On the other hand, there is a risk of considerable damage until support from the guilds in Seoul occurs when a crack that cannot be blocked is opened instead of a relatively small population in the provinces.

When a crack occurs, people of the average rank, who are challenging to participate in battle, moved to the shelter, a vast shelter built in each area, and recruited personnel from the local guild to protect the shelter.

In the Aegis Guild, Oh Jeong-soo, the deputy master of Poong-rim, who was familiar with cracks, commanded the guild members in place of Junwoo.

First, Jeongsu Oh informed us that a crack had occurred in the Songpa gate and opened the shelter to move ordinary people quickly.

The members of the Aegis guild were scattered to the area they managed and tried to find the place where cracks occurred in the early stages.

Junwoo took the three of them and flew in a flying car to Oryun-dong Shelter, which has the largest shelter in Songpa.

In the passenger seat, Yoshimura said as if puzzled when Junwoo’s expression hardened.

“Why are you so nervous?”

Junwoo wasn’t nervous.

He was only slightly angry when he remembered his parents, who had died due to the cracks.

“Don’t be nervous.”

“Yes? Then I’m glad so don’t worry too much. Korea is good at closing cracks.”

Korea has a relatively well-established response system for cracks and has the appropriate manpower.

It could be said that Korea became a more stable country because Junwoo, Leon, Eumeria, and all the soldiers recruited from abroad were added.

Once again, a disaster message was delivered to the smartphone hung around his neck.

– Ji-ing.

[A crack equivalent to level 60 has occurred in the direction of Hwaseong’s magic. People in the nearby area should run away quickly. Those who can participate in the battle, please cooperate with the local guild.]

The level was specified according to the size of the crack, and the meaning of level 60 was similar to the meaning of monsters in the hunting ground going level 60.

Level 60 level was not a level to be concerned about.

Even a man level unique level alone could stop the monsters pouring out of the crack.

Yeong Jong-do was 70, and Mado-myeon was 60.

It was unknown how many cracks would occur, but breaks could open continuously for up to 2 hours when they first appeared.

Pea-ae-eh!

Periodically the siren sounded.

When Junwoo arrived at the shelter and got off the flying car, people heading to the shelter approached Junwoo.

“It’s Junwoo Lee!”

“Take a picture. That woman is Eumeria, who entered the dungeon gate this time.”

“Who is that tall man?”

People’s attention was drawn at once.

People heading to the shelter flocked to watch.

Feeling as if they were standing in the photo zone, the three of them, including Junwoo, hurriedly entered the Aegis Guild building built in the shelter.

In the waiting room, members of the Aegis guild were watching the TV and monitoring the situation.

When Junwoo entered, they bowed their heads once, and Junwoo went inside.

Inside, the command-and-control room of the Aegis Guild was prepared.

It was their role to communicate with various guilds and quickly deliver information on how to deploy personnel and how to respond.

The correspondent sitting in front turned around and saw Junwoo and said immediately.

“Master, Inspector Jeong So-Hyeon felt the mana of a crack near Munjeong Station. It is said that Director Ling Won and Deputy Director Wang Kang are heading to the place.”

Jung So-Hyun was a magic-class woman, but in terms of sensing ability, she was slightly superior to the current Junwoo.

And Ling Wen and Wang Kang were at the max level of the Chinese unique level.

The two were friends, and Ring-One had a deep relationship with Dark Star.

Anyway, trusting Jung So-Hyun’s sensing ability, Junwoo led the guild members out of the building to go straight to the place.

The guild members ran fast, and Junwoo got into the car because the flying car was a little faster than running.

At that moment, he felt specific energy hitting Junwoo’s brain.

It was the energy of something gathering above the high-rise building in the distance.

Yoshimura opened the passenger door and got in, and Leon and Eumeria sat in the back.

Junwoo asked Yoshimura.

“Yoshimura, have you ever felt the energy when a crack occurred?”

“No?”

“Is it the energy of gathering something?”

“I heard so. Why?”

“I can feel it over there.”

At Junwoo’s words, the three in the car looked in that direction.

“Can’t you feel anything? Even now?”

Junwoo nodded, and Yoshimura asked Leon.

“Leon, how are you?”

“I don’t know.”

Junwoo drove the flying car in the direction he felt.

As he left, he informed the control room.

And as we approached the site, Leon spoke first.

“Huh? Dude, you’re right. Obviously, mana is gathering.”

Yoshimura and Eumeria couldn’t feel it.

But as we got closer, we could feel it too.

Yoshimura looked at Junwoo for a moment and said, as if curious.

“That’s great. I couldn’t feel it at all on that street.”

“Is it possible to predict the level of the gathering energy?”

“I’ve heard that 5 minutes is level 50, 10 minutes is 70 level, and 30 minutes is level 120 or higher.”

If it was the energy felt at the time of occurrence, the time was about 2 minutes passed.

The four, including Junwoo, got off the roof of a 15-story high-rise building.

And he looked at the place of mana gathered in the air in front of him.

Junwoo looked into the air and looked down.

There was a continuous line of people moving to the shelter below.

-Ji Ying

[A level 70 crack has occurred near Mangwon Station….]

That’s where Daehan was going.

– Ji-ing.

[A level 60 crack has occurred near Paju City Hall….]

The rift created in Paju would have been countered by a local guild in Paju, and support troops would have been sent from Korea.

– Ji-ing.

[A level 70 crack has occurred near the Icheon terminal….]

The local guild in Icheon would block it, and water would rush to support it.

Looking at the ringing smartphone, Yoshimura said.

“There are already seven. Would this do a lot of damage?”

Junwoo looked at the crowd below and spoke to his smartphone.

“Notify that cracks are also occurring on the roof of the Newren Building in front of Oryun Park Station.”

“All right.”

And after about 20 seconds, the text rang.

[In front of Oryun Park Station, signs of cracking on the roof of the Newren Building were caught. Nearby residents should move to the shelter in a hurry, and those who can participate in the battle will work with the local guild….]

The heads of the people running from below went all at once to the building where Junwoo was.

Then, grasping the situation, he hurriedly ran towards the shelter.

And at the same time, he saw people jumping like frogs to the roof of the building from here and there.

Some were members of the Aegis Guild, but some were free guilds or high-level ordinary people.

That’s the reason why the Freedom Guild and the general public came here was more likely to come to hunt monsters in the rift than to block the rift.

Because monsters coming to Earth through cracks gave 4 times more gold than monsters in the gate, the probability of obtaining items was also 4 times higher.

So, if you catch just one, you can see the effect of catching four monsters in the gate.

– Ding.

[Level 80 cracks occur near Munjeong Station….]

A crack was opened in the place that Sohyun Jung discovered.

Junwoo divided the staff into two places.

Murata and Do Jae-Woon came up to the roof of the building.

Do Jae-woon asked as if he was worried.

“How many minutes have passed? master.”

“Eleven minutes.”

“I think I’ll go past level 70…….”

Four of Junwoo’s cannonball robots were installed on the roof.

And Junwoo summoned two defensive robots.

The guild members on the roof showed interest in the defense robot that Junwoo summoned.

‘Is it a golem?’

‘What is that… ···.’

‘It seems solid….’

It was a defensive robot that made each person feel puzzled.

Junwoo did not stop there and summoned 10 humanoid male golems from the item window.

It was a teenage golem with an epic level of ability.

The golems were placed out of the roof and scattered everywhere.

Whew!

The space ripped open, and the wind blew out louder.

Do Jae-woon said hurriedly.

“Coming. I’m guessing it’s about level 80….”

“I’m getting ready.”

People took out their weapons.

People below level 80 had nervous faces.

At that moment, the space quickly ripped apart and expanded.

A magical space of about 5m in width and height was torn into the air, and at the same time, monsters began to come out from there as if it was waiting.

As if touching a beehive, black flecks of dust flew out of the cracks.

Among the birds, there was a griffon with an eagle face with a lion’s body and white wings, but most of them were bird-type monsters called crows, the size of an adult male.

Crow came out and ripped his beak apart.

Aww!

Is it an ultrasonic attack? When a low-level normal heard it, his ears could bleed.

Junwoo quickly created two self-destruct robots and threw them into the crack.

Two fat black birds popped among the creeping black monsters.

Pop! pop!

Birds creeping out were caught in the explosion and fell to the ground with torn bodies and wings.

A cannonball robot fired shells at the crack, and Junwoo stood on the roof railing, pulled out a mana cannon, and shot it towards space.

Swoosh!

A powerful blue energy ball flew from the muzzle with great speed.

There were so many numbers that you could just shoot at the rift and didn’t really need to aim.

Crow, hit by a powerful energy bullet, flew up and fell to the floor without a hitch.

He spread his wings as if he was not dead, but the guild member on standby did not look after him.

Do Jae-woon hastily contacted the control room.

“The Oryong Park Rift needs anti-aircraft support!”

The appearance of a mid-air monster was a tough case.

It wasn’t easy for melees to attack monsters flying high in the sky.

On the other hand, Junwoo continued to fire mana cannons.

When the energy bullet tore the wings, Crow fell to the ground, and the cannonball robot fired a rocket and punctured the wings.

The birds were attacked by the coming out, and they stumbled and fell slightly.

Wizards and archers capable of anti-aircraft attacks attacked the monsters, and the melee caught the falling ones.

Birds continued to pour out of the crack, and an aerial monster called a harpy with a human body and wings appeared.

As the flying Harpy fluttered its wings wildly, a powerful gust of wind blew up and shook the people on the roof.

Swish!

Harpy, who was swinging her wings, was hit by Junwoo’s attack, lost her balance, and fell, flapping her wings in a hurry.

Leon’s great sword fell over Harpy’s head.

Squash!

The Harpy’s body quickly crashed to the floor, and as it plummeted to the ground, the people below caught it.

Posh!

Thanks to Junwoo’s attack, about half of the birds that came out felt like they were being shot down, but a few soared into the sky to find their prey and went down like a lightning bolt.

At the people running away, Crow fell at high speed with his long beak like a spear in front.

At that moment, the golem placed by Junwoo flew up and hit Crow’s body.

Crow fell to the floor and screamed.

Aww!

People frowned and hurriedly ran towards the shelter.

And some crows snatched people’s arms with their long beaks and flew away.

Bang!

When Junwoo’s energy bullet hit Crow’s back, he fell and released the man he was holding.

Pop!

Bumpy!

Junwoo’s intercepting ability was genuinely overwhelming.

He was shooting down more than half of them by himself.

Not only that, but they were also blocking two of their acting skills through jamming, so it was a massive help to their power.

People who had no other way to respond than occasional jumping and attacking or holding their heads up to watch Junwoo shooting bazookas at the cracks from the roof’s edge.

‘It’s a huge attack….’

‘It’s crazy… It’s even better than the last time. What the hell is that weapon?’

‘You don’t dig that weapon?’

Bang!

One shot was fired, and one fell to the floor.

As time passed, the number of monsters pouring out of the cracks decreased compared to the beginning.

The crack would disappear after holding it for 10 minutes. At that moment, when HE felt a sense of relief, a male human harpy dyed black with black wings flew up among the monsters.

The torn devil’s wings were sweet, but the black Harpy had a distinctly different energy from other monsters.

Perhaps it was like the boss of this fissure.

It had wings and black arms like human arms, and a blazing black fireball gathered in its grasp.

When the black Harpy threw the completed fireball, it flew to Junwoo at high speed.

“Master!”

It seemed clear that Do Jae-Woon was a mighty fireball.

However, Junwoo didn’t even think about avoiding him and looked at him and aimed the mana gun.

Bang!

A black fireball and a blue energy ball crossed past.

The black Harpy, who was hit with a direct hit from the energy ball, was pushed back for a while and flapped its wings.

On the other hand, Junwoo was hit with a fireball, and black flames spread all over his body, but he stood there as if nothing had happened.

The eyes and mouths of those who looked at Junwoo were significantly expanded.

It was a fireball with tremendous magical power. If it took damage, it was usual for the body to fly away from the shock.

However, as if he had not suffered any damage, there were no traces of tan on his face, and not a single hair was burnt.

It was a mechanism that went beyond common sense.

[Defense increases by 1,000 for 3.4 seconds by the protection of the earth.]
