I Alone Level-Up

Chapter 185

Go Gun-Hee turned off the TV .
It is already 9 pm .
It is too late to be working . However, Woo Jin-Chul seemed to have something to say .
"China has been asking for data about Hunter Sung Jin-Woo . "
-"Data? You mean personal information . "
"No, Nothing like that . "
-"Then?"
"They asked for public materials such as Sung Jin-Woo"s Raid record and related articles . "
Well
If the Chinese are not fools, they would not expect to get personal information of the S-cla.s.s hunter, who may already be beyond that .
"But why is China only interested in Hunter Sung Jin-Woo now?"
He must have already clearly expressed his views to refuse any love calls fron any country, including China .
"It wasn"t the Chinese government wwho requested the data . "
-"What?"
"It was a request from an individual . "
-"Individual . "
The Hunter a.s.sociation, who represents a country, does not give data to any individual hunter .
But what is it about this individual?
When Go was wondering how he should refuse, Woo gave additional information .
"I think China"s Seven-Star Hunter Liu Zhang is interested in Hunter Sung Jin-Woo . "
Liu Zhang!
Go Gun-Hee"s reply was stopped by the unexpected name .
China does not follow the global standard Hunter rating system, but uses its own .
The higher the number of stars, the better the hunter, with five stars as the highest rating .
While .
Liu Zhong was the only person to be graned a seven-star rating .
Of course, his treatment he receives is also different from the others .
However, no one argues about his good tretment, because he is widely known as a nation-cla.s.s hunter .
He had the ability, and China honored it .
"Liu Zhang is interested in Hunter Sung Jin-Woo?"
Why is this happening?
Woo Jin-Chul satisfied Go Gun-Hee"s curiosity .
"Do you remember the giant who escaped? It seems like Liu Zhang is interested in Hunter Sung Jin-Woo becasue he defeated all the giants . "
Is that so .
Go Gun-Hee nodded .
Recently, a giant escaped Jin-Woo"s onslaught and escaped from j.a.pan to CHin through the sea .
The magic beast was known to have been killed off by Liu Zhang of China"s coast .
-"The strong recognise the strong . "
Go Gun-Hee had a mischevious smile .
The [Hunter Bureau] invited Ahjin Guild .
While the best hunter in China, Liu Zhang is showing interest in Jin-Woo as well .

Both the US and China have finally begun to appreciate Sung Jin-Woo"s true value .
Go Gun-Hee, who knew his true value from the beginning, was proud of him .
But .
"That does not mean I can give I can give him any data . "
Why should we advertise our strength to those who envy?
The nation-level hunter may get a little cranky, but what about it?
We have Hunter SUng Jin-Woo over here .
Go Gun-Hee, who concluded his thoughts, said with a big smile,
-"About that request, the answer is no . "
***
The dungeons have changed .
That was Jin-Woo"s inpression while clearing away the high-level dungeons generated throughout j.a.pan the past few days .
Jin-Woo"s gaze became sharp after looking inside .
He should feel the spirit of the beasts, but could not see them .
It was a situation that can be confusing for people who are dull or lack experience .
But neither applied to Jin-Woo
"Are they above me?"
Stopping his feet, Jin-Woo looked up .
Sure enough .
Just a little in front of him, a kind of liquid dropped . The floor burned where the liquid had fell .
*burning sound(sizzle?)*
Smoke rose from the floor melted by the acid .
It smelled horrible .
Naturally, Jin-Woo wrinkled his face .
When Jin-Woo showed no signs of moving forward, large chunks from the cave celling came down .
*plop?*
The lumps that now clung to the floor slowly took the form of humans .
At the places where their faces should be were covered with white masks . Their bodies were unusual forms of black liquid . They were creature that could not be found anywhere else .
They numbered twelve .
Jin-Woo quietly called out his old friend .
[Knight Killer]
The dagger appeared in his hand .
It used to be one of his main weapons along with [Baruka"s Dagger], but after he aquiried the [Devil King"s Daggers], it has stayed in his inventory .
He found a place to use it after that long a time .
Jin-Woo, whobriefly welcomed its familiar grip, threw the [Knight Killer] at the approaching creatures .
[Impale (Diabolo lll)]
*sound of liquid being "impaled" *
The dagger flew straight through the heart a magic beast with a b.l.o.o.d.y roar . (*roaring sound of liquid being impaled*)
However, the dagger pa.s.sed through the magic beast and pierced into the back wall without causing any damage .
Not only that .
The black liquid which stuck on the dagger when it pa.s.sed through began to melt it .
-s.h.i.+ -s.h.i.+
The melting dagger became unidentifiable and flowed down the wall .

"I knew it . "
He antic.i.p.ated that an ordinary physical attack would not work .
If so .
The magic beasts attacked before there was even time to mourn for [Knight Killer] .
They moved swiftly .
However, Jin-Woo said, "[Power of the Ruler]"
Kw.a.n.gg-!
The creature who were struck by the invisible hand were all thrown back at the same time .
Splat?!
The bodies of the magic beasts who fell and splashed everywhere slowly gathered and returned to their original shape .
"Huh . "
Jin-Woo laughed? at their amazing resilience .
He wanted to call out the shadow soldiers to train using their resilience .
" . . . Oh yeah . "
Physical attacks, whether tangible or intangible, do not work . (ed: meaning Power of the Ruler did not work either)
So what should he do now?
While Jin-Woo effortlessly advoided their barrage of attacks, he noticed that one of the creatures was moving unnaturally .
"Hmm?"
Jin-Woo"s eyes narrowed .
If you look closely, the magic beast has lost one of its arms . On the white mask that was covering its face, a corner has broken off .
Perhaps it broke off with the creaturee was blown away by Jin-Woo"s [Power of the Ruler] .
"Is that their weakess?"
A smile crept up Jin-Woo"s face .
It"s not hard to kill once you know how to attack .
Woosh, Woos.h.!.+
Jin-Woo called out his buddies as the beasts advoided his pounding fists .
[Devil King"s Dagger]
Jin-Woo glared at the creatures as the daggers appeared in both of his hands .
Kwazing! (Sound of dagger slicing through the beasts maybe . )
A magic beast collapsed when struck my the [Devil King"s dagger] .
*plop*
That was just the beginning .
With swift, silent movements, Jin-Woo instantly destoryed all the magic beasts . His movements were so elegant it was as if he danced through the creatures .
kwagang! (Sound made when Jin-Woo disappeared?)
Zoom!
Finally .
Kwazing!
At last, the remaining masks were all sliced perfectly down the middle, and the man-shaped liquid creatures all lost their forms and collapsed .
Jin-Woo neatly killed all 12 of the emenies, and sent his [Devil King"s Daggers] back into his inventory .
What if the person standing here wasn"t him?
Certainly some would have suffered before even realising that physical attacks do not work .
A few might have been sacrificed by the time they found out their weakness .
Probably .
It wmay be possible that everyone would have died before even finding their weak point .
Even if it was an elite squad .
The creatures were strong, fast, and dangerous .
And this wasn"t the first time (they appeared?) .
"Clearly . . . The dungeons have changed . "
Since the day he killed the giant king, mana stones disappeared from every dungeon in the world .
The minerals used to account for much of the magic flowing our of dungeons, but now they all belonged to the magic beasts .
In other words, it means gates of the same grade have become much more dangerous .
"So many dangerous guys are starting to pop up . . . "
Jin-Woo"s head wrinkled .
If an agerave squad entered one of these gates, a major incident might be inevitable .
He has heard news of frequent acciedents from all over the country .
Feeling anxious, he left [Ber] to guard his house .
If it"s [Ber], he can handle the situation even if a few dungeon breaks occur at the same time .
"But . . "
Not only have the appearance of gates increased in frequency, the difficulty of the bosses have risen as well .
At least for Jin-Woo,
It was easier to raise his level .
The presence of magic is still strong in the dungeon .
Inside the dungeon, Jin-Woo could feel a number of magic beasts spewing forth a terrible amount of magic .
A smile crept up Jin-Woo"s face .
"Now that I"ve learnt the first opponent"s trick, how about we start hunting properly?"
The warm-up is over .
From now on, it was the beginning of a ma.s.sacre .
"Come out . "
Slerukk-
Behind Jin-Woo, the shadow soldiers hiding in his shadow released their power .
He showed them how to do it, so they shouldn"t have any trouble anymore .
With Jin-Woo"s eyes as the signal, [Ygritte] advanced the soldiers in place of [Ber], who was forced to guard the house .
Du,Du,Du,Du!
The shadow soldier"s footsteps resounded loudly throughout the cave .
***
The world"s best hunters set foot on US soil one by one to attend the International Guild Conference .
Among them were the nation-level hunters .
But Thomas Andre only helf interest for one person .
"Tomorrow will be the ay Jin-Woo arrives . . . "
Having confrimed Jin-Woo"s schedule, Thomas invited Hw.a.n.g Dong-soo to the president"s office the day before his arrival .
"You wanted to see me?"
Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo carefully looked into Thomas"s eyes . (ed: To study him, not for other purposes, of course :D)
It has been several years since he joing the Scavenger"s Guild, but he still feels uncomfortable in front of the guild master .
A strong-willed person with incredible power, not to mention his terrible sense of possessivemess .
Even Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo, an S Cla.s.s Hunter, felt small in front of Thomas .
"Mr . Hw.a.n.g"
Thomas went straight to the point .
"Don"t touch Sung Jin-Woo . "
Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo widened his eyes .
His gaze, wondering how Thomas knew about this, turned to Laura, who was standing behind him .
Laura responded with eyes saying that she only did what she had to do .
Tch .
The sound leaked out from Hw.a.n.g"s mouth .
Thomas followed,
"I knew what happened between you two . I have my doubts, so I want you to make sure nothing happens . "
Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo"s brother, Hw.a.n.g Dong-Seok, went missing after entering a dungeon with Sung Jin-Woo .
All eight members from Hw.a.n.g Dong-Seok"s team died, while the only two survivors held hands to build a guild .
Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo had many questions to ask Sung Jin-Woo .
His complaints clearly showed on his face .
"But . . . "
But before he could say anything, Thomas raised his index finger and shook it .
Hw.a.n.g"s lips drew a curve . Thomas smiled .
"I don"t remember letting you speak . "
Just listen .
A clear warning .
Only few could give a threatening warning to a hunter of the highest rank .
One of them was Thomas .
Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo, who was well aware of the difference in ability between them, shut up .
Thomas stressed again .
"Never touch Sung Jin-Woo . During the conference, go to the villa the guild owns and enjoy your vacation . How about it, could you do me this favor?"
" . . . "
"Mr . Hw.a.n.g"
Hw.a.n.g Dong-Soo nodded reluctantly .
" . . . I will do that . "
"Okay, now get out . "
With a stiff face, Hw.a.n.g DOng-Soo quickly left the president"s office .
Laura asked anxiously .
"Do you think this is it?"
Thomas shook his head with a stiff face .
"No . "
He just saw how hostile Hw.a.n.g was . He won"t give up that easily .
"Laura . "
"Yes . "
"Keep an eye on Mr . Hw.a.n.g until he leaves the US . "
"Is he . . . going to let this go?"
Hw.a.n.g only relented because of Thomas"s power . He"s not that easy a person to please .
But Thomas didn"t care .
No, he wasn"t that low to have to care about that Hw.a.n.g"s antipathy .
Thomas, who scratched his chin worriedly, replied inconsequently,
"Well, it"s better to be a little stuffy than to die . "
