Chapter 68 Clash

A white bird flew in the night sky. It looked like a crow, but it had white dove feathers. The bird had three red eyes on its head. It landed in Isaac's hands.

<Information>

[Name: N/A]

[Race: Bul-bul]

[Type: Beast]

[Class: C]

[Level: 1]

"What information did you bring with you?" Isaac asked the bird.

"Their reinforcement squads have arrived, my Lord. There are about 2000 hunters who came from China and Russia brought 3000 elite troops. Meanwhile, in North Korea there are only 500 hunters."

Isaac nodded his head. After about four hours of waiting, fewer reinforcements had arrived than expected. Only the Russian troops came as ordered.

Before starting to launch attacks, he contacted Marshal Anatoly to send his 3000 best soldiers to come to his dungeon. Isaac hoped he would get 300,000 to 600,000 zenny from killing them.

Besides, he wanted to judge for himself the strength of the HFD, the special elite force, in the face of a dungeon break.

'Marshal Anatoly, you have helped me in the auction. As my gratitude, I'll give them a little evaluation.'

Before the first auction started, once every month, Marshal Anatoly sent 1000 of his soldiers to be sacrificed in Isaac's dungeon. Thanks to that, Isaac was able to earn a steady income every month, between 100,000 and 250,000 zenny.

Now, he asked for three times the amount.

"Asterius, bring your 15000 monster to face China hunters. Use the troops wisely and don't kill all the enemies. Hold on until more reinforcements come. Remember the goal of this mission. I will send further orders through the bird."

"Understood, my Lord," replied Asterius excitedly. His hands were itching. He had wanted to jump onto the battlefield since earlier.

"My warriors! Follow me! Let's teach the humans who dare to oppose the Dungeon Master a lesson!"

"Graawwwrrrr!"

The army of minotaurs and the other monsters answered in unison. Asterius along with his thousands of warriors quickly moved. The sound of their footsteps echoed throughout the air.

After seeing his general depart for the battlefield, Isaac's attention returned to his 5000 beast army. Chupacabra, lycan, lizardman, sabretooth, and four-legged monsters that resembled other beasts also couldn't wait to jump into the battlefield.

Even though they were the least in a number of the rest of his troops, Isaac could see the bloodlust in their eyeballs.

"You want blood, don't you?"

The monster answered with a roar. A flock of lycans howled in the night sky.

Isaac smirked. He wore the 'Demon Masquerade.' Instantly, his hair turned into black flames.

"Follow me!"

The giant white bear that Isaac was riding jumped up and ran across the grass. The monster warriors quickly followed their master.

Tratatatatatta! Tatatatatata!

A scream followed by an explosion resounded. The automatic machine gun spewed hot bullets, until the muzzle of the weapon turned red from the friction of the heat. The monsters were killed, their bodies collapsing to the ground, flesh and blood splattered along with parts of their bones.

"Die all of you!"

A female warrior bombarded the monsters with thousands of bullets. Her finger continued to pull on the trigger, even though her shoulders were shaking profusely from the shock of recoil.

After consuming a box of magazines containing 200 bullets, she then released the pull of the trigger.

"Reload!"

The woman changed the magazine right away. Then, a man in his fifties with a glowing cigar in his mouth backed her up. He finished off the monsters that tried to attack her.

"You're wasting bullets, bitch. How many times have I told you to save your bullets until we find the Alpha?! I don't understand whether you're deaf or brainless."

The man spat on the ground after the blood of the monster splattered on his mouth. Meanwhile, the female soldier was still reloading weapons hurriedly.

"Understood, Lieutenant Fedorov."

Then another man came along, helping to withstand the monster's attack. He had black hair that was cut in a mohawk style. At first glance, his head looked like the head of a rooster.

"Mia is really stupid, Lieutenant. You tell her today and tomorrow she will forget about it again. It's amazing how a creature like that could join the HFD."

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

The mohawk haired man clicked his tongue repeatedly, while finishing off the swarm of goblins and kobolds that charged towards them.

"Shut up, Chicken Head. You can only count to 10."

"Fuck you, Mia!"

"Benjamin, Mia, shut up. We're in the middle of a battlefield! You stupid soldiers!"

Instantly, the two soldiers fell silent after Lieutenant Fedorov scolded them.

The pale-skinned man shook his head while shooting at the monster.

Although these two of his men were the most troublesome, among the 50 soldiers he led, these two were the strongest. Mia was a rank B hunter with level 34; while Benjamin was also in the same rank, but he was at level 33 right now.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Fedorov was a rank A hunter with level 38.

Before he became the platoon leader in HFD, Lieutenant Ivan Fedorov was a member of the Russian Army. He had been involved in various missions, especially in the war mission in Chechnya.

After the dungeon landed on Earth, Fedorov experienced an awakening. His body was capable of releasing lightning that could destroy buildings and make the forest on fire in seconds. It didn't take long for Marshal Anatoly asking him to join HFD.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Lieutenant Fedorov's communications device vibrated. He picked it up.

For a moment, Lieutenant Fedorov's face, which had relaxed at first, suddenly stiffened. His men who saw the reaction also became worried. If their leader had a serious expression on his face, it meant that something terrible had happened.

"Something happened, Lieutenant?" Mia asked with a curious face.

Lieutenant Fedorov threw away his cigar butt.

"The Alpha has appeared from the west. The monster brought about 5000 troops. Twenty platoons were holding them back. The rest are moving towards the location. We have to go there."

"Roger!"

His men answered in unison.

Lieutenant Fedorov then moved to lead 50 of his men.

After running for 30 minutes, they arrived at the battlefield in the west.

"What the hell…"

Lieutenant Fedorov and his men were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.

Dozens of monsters tore humans apart with their sharp teeth. The sound of bone and flesh grinding resounded, along with the terrified screams of humans and gunshots. A dark look of horror appeared on the soldiers' faces. No matter how many bullets their machine guns spewed out, the monsters still devoured the soldiers as if humans were the most delicious food.

As far as they had experience through countless battles, they had never seen an army of humans slaughtered like cattle.

From this fleeting sight, it could be seen that the HFD army was losing against the monsters.

However, what caught their attention more was the figure leading the monsters in rampage.

A masked figure with black hair blazing flames, seemed to be riding a white bear while shooting at the HFD troops who were fighting fiercely.

They had witnessed various types of monsters that had the structure of a human body, they would not be surprised to see that masked figure. However, what took them by surprise was the weapon the figure used. It was a double gun.

"Impossible…" Mia muttered weakly, but Benjamin could hear the voice trembling in fear.

"That guy… I mean, that monster uses a gun? Has this happened before?"

Lieutenant Fedorov was silent. He quickly pulled out the two weapons wrapped around his waist.

"Whether it is a gun or a sword, the monster can still be killed. Let's help another platoon."

"Roger!" replied his men in unison.

After giving the order, Lieutenant Fedorov immediately jumped into the battle. He rammed into the lines of the depressed HFD troops shooting at the monsters who weren't afraid to die. They were shocked to see a valiant warrior jump into the sea of monsters.

"Hyaaaaa!"

Trartatatatt! Traratatatatta!

His finger pulled the SMG trigger, thousands of hot bullets charged at the monsters.

"Kuaaagh!"

The bullets pierced through the skin and flesh of the monsters. Blood splattered everywhere. However, the monsters continued to lunge, as if preparing to throw their lives away.

His brow furrowed. "Impossible, it's…?" Lieutenant Fedorov could not hide his surprise. Only this time there was a monster that had been shot multiple times still attacking. From his experience of facing the dungeon breaks elsewhere, they were instantly killed. Of course, this raised a question in his head.

Three lycans and a horned black bear covered in blood charged towards him.

"Blyat!"

He quickly threw away the SMG in his hand and replaced it with a dagger.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Cold metal pierced and sliced through the monsters. Only then did they die.

Just as he was about to be blown away, a herd of chupacabra monsters charged towards him.

"Grrrrrawwwr!"

Slash! Slash! Splat—! The eight dog monsters were killed. A man with mohawk hair and a woman who had tomboy makeup saved him.

"Hehe! Was my rescue on time?"

"Shut up Benjamin, you're ruining my show."

Lieutenant Fedorov was relieved to see his two trusted comrades come to help him. The old man smiled.

"Tch! I'm going to use my lightning if you guys don't come."

Then, another 48 soldiers came. They quickly got rid of the monsters around them.

"Sorry, we're late, Lieutenant."

The lieutenant shook his head, signalling to his men that he was fine.

"Somehow, these monsters are immune to modified bullets. Use melee weapons to finish them off. Yugo, tell the other platoon leaders about this."

"Roger!"

"How can they not notice? This is why I hate working with losers," Lieutenant Fedorov muttered in annoyance.

"Everyone, come with me!"

They quickly charged at the monsters. Since they knew the enemy's weak point, they became more confident.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Monster after monster died at the hands of the Lieutenant and his men. They continued to break through the line of enemy defenses, slowly approaching the figure of the masked man riding the white bear.

As Lieutenant Fedorov and his men drew closer, the masked rider noticed their presence.

He quickly pointed the gun at them.

"Watch out! The Alpha!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Splat! Splat! Splat!

In an instant, eight of Lieutenant Fedorov's men died.

"Nooo!" Mia was hysterical at seeing her comrades die.

Benjamin and the other men were flabbergasted. They couldn't believe what they had just seen. It was so easy for their comrades who had gone through dozens of dungeon breaks to be killed like insects by one monster.

They were all completely shocked. However, not with their leader.

Instead of feeling stress, he put on a face full of anger. The blue aura that enveloped his body began to emit lightning sparks.

His men who saw the changes that had occurred in their leader quickly stepped aside.

"Watch out! Lieutenant is about to go on a rampage!"

Blue lightning shrouded his body, then struck the surrounding monsters.

Blast! Blast! Blast!

"Kuaagkk—!"

Dozens of monsters fell. The smell of burning flesh wafted in the air. Lieutenant Fedorov looked like a raijuu, his entire body covered in lightning sparks, while his hair stood on end.

"It looks like I can't hold myself to fight you."

He looked at the figure of the masked rider. Their eyes met, looking at each other.

Lieutenant Fedorov took a stance, then he shot at high speed towards the masked rider.

Swoooowsh!

In less than a second, he was in front of the Alpha.

"Take this!"

Bang!

An enormous explosion boomed. Yellow light dazzled the eyes of those who witnessed it. At the same time, lightnings struck dozens of monsters in the vicinity.
