CH 77

Monster Wave (1)

There was a fierce battle between a bear and a human while going back and forth on the forest road.

Papak!

"Wait!"

"Ugh!"

Whoops!

Dong-soo narrowly crossed his arms to block the Ilgom-i's blow.

Dong-soo, who rolled down the floor while breaking a tree that was still short, climbed onto the rock to avoid it, crawling.

His left arm was broken and droopy, but his eyes that endured the pain were still on Ilgomi.

"Wow!"

The appearance of the Ilgom-yi rushing back is as threatening as a rushing dump truck.

bang!

"Ugh!"

Dongsoo jumped at the right time to avoid the rush and gave Ilgom a kick in the back of the head.

Whoops!

Ilgomi stumbled for a while with a fairly strong kick, but Dong-soo's situation was not good enough to attack again.

stop.

Suho jumped down and looked at Dongsoo with strange eyes.

"Now do the basics."

The pain that he had been holding back came over, perhaps because the tension had been relieved, and Dong-soo let out a moan.

"Wow, it hurts so much! I think it's going to go away, hyung!"

"It's tough."

"Look at this mess. Wow, I'm in a cold sweat.

"It's already stuck."

The fact that the awakening level became A by absorbing dimensional energy means that it has far surpassed the limits of human beings.

Even if he suffered physical damage that would not be enough even if he fainted, it was not only his mental strength that he had to counterattack. I mean, it's really tolerable.

Woodduck.

"Aaaah!"

After Suho grabbed the broken arm and put it back together, holding it still, the tree spirits that spewed out of the forest stuck together and quickly regenerated the wound.

"Am I okay?"

"Now I can walk on my own feet."

Whether it was a broken arm or a broken leg, he could never show weakness in front of the enemy. Exposing weaknesses is no different than signaling to ask.

"Wow, I must have grown so strong, is this basic now?"

uh.

"It's not funny."

"Because it's true."

" ."

They have only just planted the temperament of a beast in the weak ones who pull out the concept of protection without ever fighting. Whoever the opponent is, once you have the courage to hit them, you can go hunting together.

"Sheesh, I would have died if I had a real battle with Ilgom."

damn it!

Ouch! Why are you hitting me?"

"Why are you talking weak again?"

The guy who started walking normally is about to crawl again.

"What should I do if I run into an ilgom in the wild?"

"We have to fight."

And?

"Well, a strong man will live."

damn it!

"Aww!"

Dong-soo clapped the back of his head and shouted.

"No, it's not that I'm out of it, and they fight, so why do you hit me?"

"Why is it bad to run away?"

What Suho wants from them is survival and group life.

"When are you saying it's bad?"

"It's like running away forever."

When Suho met a guy he couldn't beat, he didn't enter his realm again.

Until you have the power to surpass him.

"There is nothing wrong with retreating from an operational point of view. It's stupid to just die fighting.

" ."

Ooh, which rhythm should I tune to?

Dong-soo replied for nothing, but he kept silent because he thought he would get one more shot.

"That's something a guy like me could do, and you have another way."

Suho was alone.

It was always possible to escape and build up strength and re-establish one's own territory. The only thing he could protect was his own life.

"You should call a friend."

Like the wolves, you can hunt them down and chase them away, or you can hunt them down and eat them.

In fact, territorial disputes between wild beasts often do not occur much, because they have a lot to lose when each other's strength boils.

Each domain is fixed until one side becomes strong or the other side weakens until the balance of power is broken.

If you get injured in a fight, you may be challenged by the wrong guy who was aiming for a chance.

The food chain is not determined by species.

The strong will eat it, and the weak will only eat it.

Didn't Tosuni jump over the species and become a predator?

"Everyone, come here."

Junho, Jaesik, and Myeongjin, who had been scattered around, gathered.

"Well, isn't it difficult to hide a hiding place on Earth?"

So I had to keep it.

"There were too many people to run away."

Engineers, support department staff, brothers and sisters, as well as the employees' families are gradually relocating, and more and more people are gathering under the name of the Guardian Guild.

"You have to take good care of it."

Since I was able to protect myself to a certain extent, I did everything Suho had to do.

It is only when the pups are cared for and cared for, not when the grown-ups are cared for. You will either stand as a companion next to the hunting ground, or you will be culled and kicked out of the group.

Civilization's roles are a little more diverse to put the wild's harsh standards, even if you're not a hunter, there's a lot to do in the pack.

"Anyway, training is over."

How much they will grow after that depends on their own abilities.

Wow! It's over."

"Whew."

"Wooden Guanyin Bodhisattva."

"Is it over already?"

Seeing the various reactions, Suho grinned.

"If you are in a hurry, you act. There is nothing to gain by pushing harder."

It has been two weeks since I completely cleared the 7 star dungeon.

I've been training with the beasts for a little over a fortnight.

It was also a time to adapt to the body that had become an A-grade, and the physical improvement was dazzling because he moved every moment without a break.

The greatest of these is getting along with the beasts and understanding their powers. How do they fight, what habits do they have... .

The guardian guild's hunters are not all five mercenaries. If we were to protect all the beasts, one Guardian Guild Castle was enough to protect it.

And that doesn't necessarily mean fighting.

"Everyone will do it."

As the president and the vice president devoted themselves to training, Lee Sook-ja, the head of the support department, was in charge of the guild housekeeping, and the YouTube channel that Dong-soo was managing was neglected.

Bongnimsa Temple has already taken shape, and Myeongjo, the executioner of Myeongjin, is seeking stability as the 34th governor.

Buildings were gradually forming outside the Guardian Guild and people were gathering, but the administrative departments that would lay the foundation for District 13 were coming in first.

As for Suho, he was not interested in anything other than the guild, but Kim Mi-so, who was newly appointed as the branch manager of the District 13 Management Bureau, came to the Guardian Guild whenever there was a big problem and asked for permission from the guild master, Park Soo-ho.

do it yourself.

I'm going to build a branch of the administration office in some area They were talking about designating this area as a commercial district and making this a residential complex, so I just allowed it all.

'Why are you asking me for permission?'

It's outside the realm.

"Let's go to the sauna together. brother.

Although it was a hellish full moon, they felt a great sense of accomplishment because they had made tremendous progress.

The east entrance, which connected the beast breeding house and the guardian guild, contained a seven-story building.

It looked as if the building had been raised on top of the castle gate, and the lobby on the first floor was just opened and looked like a gateway.

Anyway, to get to the Beast Shelter, you have to exit through the back door through the main entrance. A location that can naturally prevent access from outsiders.

"Where is the bathroom?"

"It's over there."

As I passed through the headquarters at Junho's guidance, I saw well-maintained roads and sparsely built 3-4 story buildings.

In the self-generation facility using bloodstone, major facilities such as monster by-product warehouse and bloodstone warehouse, as well as welfare facilities such as restaurants, cafes, and public baths were located.

The facilities used by the staff and visitors of the Guardian Guild will become one of the sources of income for the Guardian Guild in the future.

Other large-scale guilds were operating more diverse commercial facilities than this. There was still plenty of vacant land and there were many vacant buildings that had not moved in, so there was plenty of room for development.

"Oh, it's hot."

"Oh, it's drowsy and nice."

Five guild fighters immersed themselves in the bath to soothe their weary mind and body.

"Hyung, when are you going to do the landscaping?"

"How long does it take?"

Now, the guardian's harmony stat is high enough to make a tree grow several tens of meters with a single gesture. Turning a barren wasteland into greenery is a very easy and simple task for Suho.

"I'll see you later."

"Oh, thank you. But I think we will have to start recruiting guild members soon."

"Do that. He seemed to be lacking."

"Is that so?"

Level 6 Guild. It is a bit of nonsense that there are 5 mercenaries in a large guild that the Management Bureau is discussing about granting level 7.

"It's going to be empty, so why put the building up in advance? Hire people to work."

Huh? Not a mercenary, but a staff member?"

Of course.

It's a fight, the subordinates were still enough.

It's not a dangerous world full of enemies everywhere.

The prey is in the dungeon, and the rulers occupying other realms are all human. Beings who communicate rather than fight.

The director of the management is also friendly to Suho, so there will be no quarrels for nothing.

How peaceful is the Earth?

It was necessary to share the benefits of civilization more.

"Honestly, shouldn't there be a pork belly restaurant and a chicken restaurant?"

Huh?

"Look for a restaurant."

" ."

A wish that has been dreamed of for a thousand years.

I will live with people.

You've built a large group of yourself, but isn't that something you can't make into savages?

After the sauna, Jun-ho went to the guild to review a store, Dong-su to manage the neglected channel, and Myeong-jin to Bongnimsa, which had finally succeeded in rebuilding it.

"Why are you following me?"

"I want to learn everything about you and be like him."

"Aww, why are you so disgusting?"

I sat down in an open-air cafe with Jang Jae-sik, who followed me.

boss. what do you want to eat?

I came here for coffee and I am the boss.

The employees are guild staff, not outsiders.

"Well, two cups of cafe mocha."

"I'll have an Americano."

"I want to be like you."

" ."

As Jang Jae-sik was silent, the staff bowed their heads and headed straight for it.

After a while, Suho, taking a sip of the sweet cafe mocha, smiled pleasantly.

"Hey, it's sweet. It's sweet."

Salty, sweet and spicy... .

After a thousand years, I really liked these things.

"Ugh. It's good.

Jang Jae-sik followed Suho for a half shot, then sat still and looked at the slowly reddening western sky.

"Before the Cataclysm, I couldn't have imagined this . It's ironic."

Huh? what?

"I'm talking Noel. At that time, it was difficult to see a blue sky like this due to the fine dust."

"Is that so?"

It was 10 years ago, but it is a memory that has passed a thousand years.

It is a world where clear skies are taken for granted, but there was a time when it was difficult to breathe in gray colors just 10 years ago.

That is why some refer to the Cataclysm as the Earth's Salvation Day rather than the Human Crisis Day.

"Brothers, you are here."

"Oh, you should have a drink too."

"Yes, I have a cafe mocha here, please."

The three of them sat down and stared at the western sky for a long time. The sky was dyed red as if vomiting blood, and the sun went down completely.

"Great. I say these things with my mouth, but it seems like a different world."

There are bushes around, and ferocious beasts live as neighbors. Even if a 7-star dungeon is created, the people of the guild are not surprised anymore.

"Everyone's life is the same."

"Hey, we are enjoying this kind of peace because you are here. Now other countries are uproar."

"Because of the 7-star dungeon?"

Dongsoo shook his head at Jaesik's question.

"Because no country has destroyed 7-star dungeons yet. People have already evacuated and there is a commotion in places that have opened up in the city."

The problem was not only in 7-star dungeons. Due to the exponentially increased dungeons, such as 6-star, 5-star, etc., the demand for mercenaries has increased here and there.

It's not just the 7-star dungeon that's the problem, the lower dungeons might explode.

"Seoul is also in serious trouble right now."

Dong-soo remembered something interesting instead of talking, so he took out his cell phone and looked through the visit records.

visit record

1 hour ago - Model A and Actor B scandal

1 hour ago - New work of the month... .

1 hour ago - Personal circumstances .

.

2 hours ago - Russia-Manchuria dispute resolution

"Ah, yes."

I clicked the link and handed the phone to Suho.

"When we were training, there was a lot of commotion in the neighborhood upstairs."

It is a site that translates foreign news articles well, but there was an article that summarized the international situation to the extreme.

Ru: Each of us has a city siege. Now I won't care about field dungeons. Even city defense is tough.
