Return To Level Up

There were a total of 100 guardians who entered Russia, excluding Ha-jin Kang.

The Guardians put a lot of effort into expanding his staff while preparing for his overseas activities.

So, recently, the number of guild members of the Guardian has increased considerably.

They were of various nationalities, and their skills were excellent.

However, Hajin Kang brought only 100 people to Russia.

He was an Awakener who was picked and picked by the Guardians, so his skills were very clear.

Kim Ji-hye was a little puzzled about that part.

“Isn’t Russia’s dungeons huge?”

“It's about 500 meters in diameter, so it's a record. It’s much bigger than the dungeons that appeared in Japan.”

“Then… isn’t it too little? Even if I bring all the new guild members, I don't think it will be enough..."

That was a natural question.

“They have their job to do.”

When the Russian dungeon explodes, it will scatter all over the world and pour out monsters.

We must protect the world from that threat.

This time the remnant will assume the role.

Of course, you don't have to worry about Korea.

Because Korea caught a lot of missing people, only seven monsters appeared when the actual monster crisis occurred.

And in Korea, there was a dungeon breaker led by Hwang Soo-young.

Now, Dungeon Breakers has become the best guild in Korea in name and reality.

Hwang Soo-young had no talent for running her guild, but there was a person named Yoon Kyung-min who could help her occasionally.

Yoon Kyung-min took care of the dungeon breaker while handling many of the Guardians' work.

He said he needed to get some sleep, but frankly, I didn't want to interfere with what he was doing now.

'Cause I won't listen anyway

As Dungeon Breaker grew in size, there were many management teams, and there was no problem in growing the guild with just a little help from Kyung-Min Yoon.

As Dungeon Breaker became Korea's best guild and the influence of Guardians grew, the Awakening-related ailments in Korea were gradually improved.

As a result, Korea has now become one of the most Awakened powerhouses.

The Guardian's guild members currently number well over 500.

So there were still more than 400 people left to move. In addition, the number of people was steadily increasing even now.

They were divided into appropriate numbers and dispatched to various parts of the world.

So far, I have dealt with the monsters that appeared there.

But sooner or later, you'll be fighting a monster that pops out of a dungeon, rather than such a monster.

What Jason's guardians did before the return, Kang Ha-jin's guardians are now taking over.

Ha-jin Kang had no doubts that he would do much better than he did back then.

The person who met the Guardians was an awakened Mikhail. He was also Federov's henchman.

“Thank you for coming to Russia like this.”

Mikhail first said thank you and guided the Guardians to a hotel in a city relatively close to the dungeon.

Since the dungeon was so huge, the hotel was able to confirm its magnificence.

"Incredible."

Jihye Kim murmured as she looked out her window with her blank expression.

Now, the leaders of the Guardians were gathered in Ha-jin Kang's room. He was all looking at the dungeon with the same expression as Jihye Kim.

It was a dungeon of a size I had never experienced before, so just looking at it gave me a sense of intimidation and subtle fear.

“What will happen if that blows up? I can’t even imagine.”

“This hotel where we are now will also disappear.”

“Certainly, it may not be.”

Even if a dungeon with a diameter of only 2 meters explodes, the surrounding area is devastated by a magical storm that sweeps around it.

After all, it's 500 meters long.

Considering that the closer you are to the dungeon, the greater the damage, so it's probably really hard for the city where this hotel is located.

“Can we really close that dungeon?”

Hajin Kang shook his head firmly.

“It will be difficult.”

"Yes? really?"

Ji-hye Kim was surprised that Ha-jin Kang spoke so firmly.

If so, what is the reason for such an effort? If it's going to explode anyway.

“Our job is to reduce the damage to a minimum.”

“Isn’t the defense around the dungeon too weak to say that the damage is reduced to the minimum?”

Kang Ha-jin asked the Russian side to focus most of the Awoken power on subjugating the inside of the dungeon.

Of course, Russia also accepted it.

They were going to close this dungeon unconditionally, so they didn't even think about it after that.

It is good to increase the probability of closing the dungeon by concentrating on it, but since it is a plan that does not think about the future, if the dungeon explodes, the damage will be enormous.

But when Ha-jin Kang, the person who made the plan, said that, I was embarrassed.

“We have prepared enough. We decided to empty the city around the dungeon sooner or later.”

“But what about the monsters that pop out and pour out?”

Hajin Kang did not answer and turned his gaze back to the dungeon.

Kim Ji-hye felt a strong sense of incongruity in that appearance.

“If this dungeon explodes, will there be no monsters? Can we just prepare for a magical storm?”

Kang Ha-jin looked at Kim Ji-hye with her eyes lit up slightly.

She is very quick-witted. Where the hell did she catch that from the conversation she just had?

"Oh My God! Really!”

When Jihye Kim was startled, Hajin Kang put her index finger to her lips.

"Shh. It is still a secret.”

Ji-hye Kim looked at Ha-jin Kang with her confused expression.

“If so, isn't it a waste of electricity for us to be here? It would be better to close the dungeon in another place like other guild members..."

“When did I say no monsters?”

"Yes? just now······."

“I just said it was a secret. The monster comes out. But it’s not just coming from here.”

Kim Ji-hye's eyes became confused. what the hell is that again

“There are monsters, but not here? I don’t understand.”

“Have you already taken action?”

Kim Ji-hye's head was spinning. Her eyes were the size of a candle.

“Is that why you scattered Guardians all over the place?”

“You are really smart.”

Kang Ha-jin looked at her Kim Ji-hye with her meaningful eyes and then turned her gaze back to her dungeon.

“How many monsters you hunt in that dungeon will determine the scale of this disaster. So once inside, you have to fight like crazy.”

Jihye Kim nodded her head with a firm expression on her face.

Her gaze also turned to the huge dungeon again.

I think it was an unnecessary conversation. All she has to do is believe in and follow Ha-jin Kang.

as it has been so far.

* * *

After the Guardians arrived in Russia and slept for the night, they headed straight for the dungeon.

Evacuation was in full swing in the city near the dungeon.

Because Ha-jin Kang asked so strongly, I had no choice but to listen.

As a result, relations with Russia have deteriorated somewhat.

For some reason, from the Russian perspective, it felt like a pawn for safety.

If the dungeon could be closed, there would be no need for such an evacuation.

In their eyes, the dungeon seemed impossible to close, so it looked like they were preparing in advance.

As a result, the way I look at the Guardians has changed a bit.

A lot of eyes that are much worse than the first have been added.

There were doubts as to whether it could be left to the Guardians as it is.

Of course, it didn't really matter.

After all, there was no country anywhere in the world to help Russia in this situation, and Russia was also busy putting out the fire that fell on her feet.

I still haven't been able to deal with all the monsters that were created by the disappearance of the person.

A fairly large number of the Russian Awakened Forces had been dispatched to deal with the monster.

In any case, the actual operation was centered on the Russian Awakening Forces, and the Guardians were only helpers.

If any other country had come to help, it would have been treated the same.

And Kang Ha-jin also had no complaints about such a treatment.

If you go inside anyway, all your perceptions will change.

Once you taste the buff once, you will never be able to disobey Kang Ha-jin after that.

Like everyone who has been through it.

The number of Awoken sent from Russia to close the dungeon exceeded a thousand.

Considering that the power was scattered to deal with monsters everywhere and close the general dungeons that were popping up everywhere, it was a power that really scraped off the floor.

Of course it wasn't elite.

There were about 200 Awakens who could be called elite, and about 300 of the rest were Awakeners who managed to pay for their meals.

Other than that, the rest was a breeze.

But Kang Ha-jin didn't care at all. It is impossible to close this dungeon anyway.

Perhaps as you go inside and hunt, all Awoken who entered will feel it.

It is impossible to close this dungeon in time.

This was a disaster that Marvas had planned and prepared for.

The only way to close this dungeon was for the whole world to come together.

At this moment, it was impossible.

It would be a different story if we could overcome this disaster well and the Guardians could stand tall in the center of the world and control everything.

And you have to do it somehow.

The reason the second plague was a disaster wasn't just because it threw the world into chaos.

This is because a huge dungeon begins to appear from this moment.

It was also Mikhail who commanded the Russian Awakening Unit.

When the Guardians arrived in Russia, he was the one to meet them, and he was the strongest among the Russian awakeners.

He had the highest level, and his skills were strong.

Anyway, Mikhail's attitude was quite favorable.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

He highly bought the fact that Ha-jin Kang evacuated the city's citizens before attacking the dungeon.

In fact, it wasn't an easy choice for him to make.

Anyone who leads an organization of the size of the Guardian can imagine that it could create a skeptical view.

But Kang Ha-jin accepted it. Just in case of any possible failure.

Anyway, Mikhail, who led the Russian Awakening Forces into the dungeon, first found Hajin Kang.

Hajin Kang and the Guardians stood a little far from the dungeon entrance.

Mikhail approached Kang Ha-jin.

“Now, how would you like to hunt? It seems that the dungeon is too vast to close in time.”

“So why didn’t you evacuate in advance? We just do the best we can.”

At Ha-jin Kang's words, Mikhail nodded her head.

"Yes."

“Let’s set a goal first. Our goal is to reduce the number of monsters as much as possible.”

“That’s natural.”

As you hunt, the number of monsters will naturally decrease.

If you find and destroy the core in the process, you will be able to close the dungeon.

Although there may be a few cores.

Ha-jin Kang's explanation of the operation continued.

“We will fight by finding and destroying large hordes of monsters.”

Mikhail tilted her head.

“Do I really need to? Guess I'll just have to deal with all the monsters I encounter along the way..."

“That is natural. I'm talking about setting the direction of movement.”

Mikhail looked at Kang Ha-jin with a slightly absurd look.

For that to hold, you need to know in advance where the huge hordes of monsters are located. Or send a deep scout to check the location.

However, operating a reconnaissance team in this dungeon was by no means an easy task. There is also the risk of power dissipation.

“Are you planning to share your power?”

Hajin Kang shook his head.

“To fight large hordes of monsters, you have to come together. There is no power dissipation.”

Mikhail still couldn't understand.

"I don't know, but I'll do what you say for now. There will still be time to revise the plan through trial and error.”

Hajin Kang nodded his head and pointed his finger to one side.

“Once the first target is over there.”

As Ha-jin Kang moved toward that direction, 100 guardians followed.

Mikhail shook his head as he saw the scene, and led the Russian Awakening Corps and followed behind them.

The attack on the Russian dungeon, the beginning of the second disaster, has begun.
