37 Daddy's too strong. Episode 36.

Kang was a professional hunter in his eighth year and seventh in the rankings.

No matter how hard it is not in the cracks, Kang's body was always supposed to stay alert to survive.

You didn't notice?'

It can't be, but if Dojun was PK.

He could have died instantly here.

Kang Min-hyuk looked at Do-jun with an incredible look on his face.

Dojun asked Kang Min-hyuk.

"Is there any change in the crack entry time?"

"We were told to enter in 30 minutes."

"A half hour will be enough. I need to brief you before I enter. Would you please rally all the Hunters?"

Dojun said that and walked to the entrance of the crack.

* * *

the hour of sunset

Umyeon Mountain was dark.

There was no sign of the situation.

Except for one place.

The area around the staging area was bright by the light skill that brightens the surrounding area.

"That's the commander-in-chief?"

"Are you sober or what?"

"The Director ordered it. Damn it."

Eleven operations teams lined up at intervals of three meters.

Each team leader was at the forefront of the team.

And Dojun stood alone on the other side and looked over the hunters.

Breathe deeply, and then open his mouth.

"Everybody pay attention."

the desolate mountains

Dojun's voice rang out in the Hunters' ears in the midst of the occasional sound of the chilly wind.

It wasn't a particular shout or cry.

a casual tone oftone It was nothing more or less.

But why?

at a word of attention

All the converging hunters were overwhelmed.

I didn't even feel like I used a skill.

Yes. It was instinct.

a defense mechanism invoked when a strong man is placed in front of him

'What, what, this feeling.'

Chief of Operations 5, Kwak Young-ho, had a cold sweat on his forehead.

And confirmed that Passive Skills <Shout to Survive> were activated.

A B-level skill that mitigates 20 percent of the damage received when a crisis is judged to be in place.

"Thank you for your attention. Let me give you a brief briefing on the operation. We'll hand out the handout, so you can listen to it while watching it. Operations managers, please take it according to the number of team members."

Eleven operational team leaders came forward to pick up the handouts.

"What I've just handed out is an internal crack map."

At that remark.

Everyone was surprised.

Not the feeling that comes from surprise.

an utter disbelieving.

Yap!

Operation team leaders quickly went through the handouts.

Dojun opened his mouth looking at the screen on the space tab.

"The operation zones were divided into nine areas. A1, A2, ····· 순서대로. Finally, it's A9. And the area we step on when we enter the crack is A8 as shown on the map. We're going to wipe out the monsters in A7, A9, and then we're going up. Do you have any questions so far?"

Then a hunter from Operation 7 raised his hand.

"Speak."

"Is there any evidence that this map is a crack map?"

an expected question

Dojun shook his head.

"Even if there is, you won't believe it. Do you have any other questions?"

Kang Min-hyuk said.

"Executive officer Do Jun. You'll have to answer the question just now. Please tell us where this map came from and the evidence that it is a map of class S cracks that will be introduced from now on. Believe it or not, it's up to us to decide."

Kang Minhyuk stared at Dojun.

Hunters waited for an answer.

"Crack management officials can use an application called <crack management system>. The app allows access to information on registered cracks. Information about the class S crack in Umyeon Mountain is also contained in the space tab that I am holding."

Crack management system.

Hunter, unaware of it, was not here.

Cracks below grade C are prepared and managed by the crack management department of City Hall, and the information is posted on the website of Seoul City Hall.

However, the information on the S-class rift has not been authorized by the city hall, and the cracks in Umyeon Mountain have only been created a day ago. Under such circumstances, Do-joon's words were unreliable.

"You want us to believe that now!"

A hunter shouted.

Dojun answered calmly.

"Yes."

a brief reply without any evidence

At that one word, people looked dumbfounded.

I'm speechless.

"I understand. I'm sure you're all nervous. S-class cataclysm with a figure of over 2,000. It's the most difficult crack ever since the Masallas incident three years ago. However, the commander-in-chief is a government official. And a piece of paper that was drawn as a map of cracks, coming out to brief."

"·········."

"It would be unfair to secure your life on a single page of this map that you're not sure about. Perhaps not a single person here is convinced that this operation will succeed. No, there are people who have concluded that they will be annihilated."

Dojun is behind his back.

He glanced at the huge crack in the dark purple.

Over 100 people looking at him looked over the faces.

a look of anxiety

And looked at the night view of the city behind their backs.

If this operation fails, Seoul will be devastated.

Of course, it can't be.

"Neverwithstanding. You have to trust me to win the game."

Dojun put his inner strength into the horse.

Maybe that's why people started to get goose bumps and shiver.

Dojun continued the momentum.

"And as much as you have given me faith, I have won."

Check the wristwatch.

The time left until crack entry is 15 minutes.

I had to finish my words quickly and start a briefing.

Dojun banged his tongue inside and opened his mouth again.

"I promise you all to survive."

* * *

Eleven operational teams entering the crack.

And Hunters' eyes grew bigger.

an endless stretch of desolate land

"·········허."

The map that Kang Minhyuk has in his hand.

Take turns looking at Dojun.

I'm not sure because I'm still a freshman.

The reason is that it was the same as the topography drawn on the map to the point where it can be seen with the eyes.

As I said earlier, Team Alpha from Team 1 to Team 5 will be in Area A7, and Team Beta from Team 6 to 10 will be in Area A9. The 11 teams in charge of supplying supplies should follow the Alpha Team. Also, if anything happens, please report it without delay."

Area A7 is Auger.

Zone A9 had trolls.

Alpha team, which has more A-level hunters than beta team, will target Ouger, while beta team will take charge of trolls.

The Alpha Team's team leader, Kang Min-hyuk, looked at the assigned zone and told the team members.

"Let's get started."

Alpha team running after Kang Min-hyuk toward A7 zone.

And the beta team leader, Kwak Young-ho, muttered, staring at Do-jun.

"Don't make mistakes."

Soon after, the team members followed Kwak Young-ho to A9.

And Han Min-ji approached Do-jun.

"I'll go, too. Officer in charge."

"Yes. Be careful."

"······주무관님."

"Yes."

"Thank you."

After Han Min-ji bowed her head.

I ran towards A9 zone.

Dojun, who is left alone, raises his head and sees at the end of the crack.

I identified a creature.

the Hunter Administration Situation Room

A total of 11 screens were being transmitted to the large screen in the situation room.

These were the screens sent by the operation team leaders who entered the S-class crack at Mount Umyeon through emergency cameras.

Quaduck!

The 11 operational teams were divided into two teams, each sharing the Ouger and the Troll. Jung Young-chul breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the screens.

Ooger was a semi-A-class monster, and Troll was a B-class.

The team that is gathered now is a collection of the best hunters managed by the Hunter Administration.

The trolls will be handled easily, and Ouger was holding them without difficulty in what was seen on the screen, although it may be a little difficult.

'But the one you saw on the screen, ····.'.'.'.'

a familiar face

Jung Youngchul remembered.

I noticed it was Lee Do-joon, a Seoul City Hall official whom I met at the graduation ceremony of the National Hunter Academy.

'By the way.'

I recalled when Hunters entered the crack.

Lee Dojun pointed his finger to the west and muttered.

Hunters moving in a row accordingly.

The emergency cam couldn't even capture the sound, so the contents of it were unknown.

'I don't know what's going on.'

* * *

Argh!

As soon as the sword fell, Ouger's neck flew away.

Kang collected the mana he had loaded on the sword, and took out a stick the size of a finger from the tandel and asked.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Mana Smoke.

It was a kind of mana potion made of mana stone, and it was an artifact that instantly supplied mana to the body.

Quaquaqua!

A blue energy burst from Kang Min-hyuk's sword.

The climax of a sword-carrying ceremony.

It was Sword Aura.

Bam!

Kick the ground and fly to two Ooggers.

And Kang Min-hyuk's new model disappeared for a moment.

The ooggers' bodies split in half.

S-class skill that greatly increases movement speed and attack power, super-speed.

It was a first-class contributor skill that made Kang a seventh-ranked S-class hunter.

"As expected, Kang Min-hyuk."

Kang Min-hyuk looked back.

He is the eighth-ranked S-class Hunter.

It was Lee Jin-gu, the leader of Operation Three.

"Is it all sorted out now?"

" "··군군군군군군."

When I looked around, there were a lot of Auger bodies piled up on the floor.

The total number of kills was 87. In other words, the Alpha team had beaten a crack in Class A.

Kang Min-hyuk picked up the radio and pressed the button.

dental floss

"Alpha Team, Area A7. Clear."

Thank you for your efforts. Are there any injuries?

"None."

That's a relief. Please return to section A8.

"네·네네네네네네. Yes, sir."

Lee Jin-gu, who was listening to the radio, said with a tongue-tied voice.

"If I were the director, the commander-in-chief would have you. No matter how hard I think about it, you were the only one who could replace the test. Well, so far, it's going smoothly, ······. What will happen in the future?"

The operation teams gathered here.

In the meantime, it has moved under the control of the test.

sword leading the battle with overwhelming force

And Hunters who follow instructions in awe of such a swordsman.

"A captain who fights together in front of you, and a captain who orders only from behind. I'm the former, honestly. I'm sure other people feel the same way."

That was admitted by Kang Min-hyuk.

But now there is no turning back.

Kang Min-hyuk looked at the emergency cam with his neck in it.

Director Chung Young-chul must be watching the situation now.

Even Han Min-ji could not be unaware of the fact.

'It will be revealed later whether your choice was right or not.'
