Dungeon Hunter Chapter 45:
Chapter 45-47: Dungeon Attack Record
The dungeon’s 6th floor .
I changed the terrain using Domestic Mode . I’ve completed the ecology up to the 5th floor but the 6th floor was still empty .
I was hoping to raise some special creatures there .
But changing the terrain itself required points . I used roughly 100,000 points and changed a large chunk of the 6th floor to lava .
Kururung!
The transformation of the dungeon’s 6th floor started .
First, the ground split apart . A volcano would intermittently pop up every 30 metres . 5 volcanoes were created in this manner and they started spewing out lava .
The specified lava zone was completed .
Of course, it couldn’t end here .
I placed the 3Lv creature ‘Pyrock Larva’ on the lava field .
The pyrock larva was a creature that cost 1,200 pt . It was expensive for a palm sized larva but I bought 40 of them . There was no hesitation as I purchased it .
‘They will duplicate once they become adults . ’
Once the pyrock larvae grew into an adult, it could live outside .
The red larva would grow to 3 times its size before unravelling and forming an intermediate creature approximately 1 metre in size with the tail of a dragon and the wings of a bat .
But the pyrock weren’t often sold as adults . It was because 99% of the larvae died before becoming adults .
There was a need for very strict management so the dark elves and dwarves were called .
‘I need to find the source of magic power associated with the creature . ’
The pyrock was a creature that lived on stones containing fire magic power . The volcano and lava meant the fire magic could be instinctively felt .
I bought the pyrock larvae due to the above reasons .
Yihi looked at me with confusion .
“Master . It is very hard to raise the pyrock larvae . The adults are very strong but Yihi knows that they aren’t easy to raise . Although they are already purchased . ”
“I know . ”
“Doesn’t the store sell adults? Yihi thinks you should just get an adult pyrock . I saw a very cute one . ”
Yihi didn’t believe in my skills . In addition, Yihi was curious about why I was raising them .
I wanted the pyrocks for one specific reason .
‘The dungeon contains 4 altars of different magic properties . I need to find the fire altar . ’
This was also information he obtained from his previous life .
If the 4 altars with different properties were found then it was possible to raise more powerful advanced creatures .
I would use the pyrocks to find the altar . It would be good if they found the altar .
I confirmed in my previous life that it gave achievements . And releasing the more advanced creatures would kill more humans and wouldn’t bring me benefits .
But things were different now .
I stood at the peak of the Awakened in South Korea . A monster wave would stir up the Awakened and would shake the country . I stood at the peak but it currently lacked impact . I was free to do a monster wave if I wanted .
There was one obvious effect .
Standing at the peak position…a monster wave was a golden opportunity to become recognized by other Awakened and civilians .
More than anything else .
‘The leaders of this country aren’t taking the situation seriously enough . After identifying the movements of the creatures in the dungeon, there has only been a lukewarm response . I need to break that perception . ’
South Korea .
The vast majority of people were hanging on to the security measures . There was the issue of North Korea but they were slow to cope with the dungeon .
There had to be a real threat to make the country move .
It was inevitable that the country’s leaders would use the dungeon as a propaganda tool . It was something I saw in my previous life .
‘The Awakened need to be more desperate in order to grow . A competitive environment . And…if I become a symbol then it will be a big boost when hitting other dungeons . ’
It was a choice I would make for the future .
In addition, the Awakened would raise awareness by protecting the civilians and they would desperately fight to become stronger for their survival .
Those with a sense of entitlement would use it as a driving force behind their corruption . I would be able to cut off the rotten ones .
There was another reason .
This was an opportunity to debut Chrisley . I intended to make her appear as the Dungeon Master .
The conclusion of my plan!
It would be a while before the creatures could find the altar .
My points were scarce so I couldn’t use it at the moment .
“Master?”
Yihi spoke in a puzzled tone .
I began to talk with a relaxed expression .
“Yihi . Are the dark elves and dwarves gathered together?”
“They were gathered a while ago . Do you want Yihi to call them?”
“Yes . ”
I nodded and Yihi flapped her wings quickly .
* * *
“It is great to see Dungeon Master!”
“It is great to see Dungeon Master!”
The dark elves and dwarves .
They kneeled down before me .
Chrisley was included among the dark elves . Moreover, she seemed even more beautiful . She was at a level of the goddess of beauty and even I was forced to admire her .
I didn’t easily go crazy with desire over a women but this……
I opened up Mind’s Eye .
I wanted to see the results after one month .
| Name: Chrisley | |||
| Occupation | None | Title | * Person with the Blood of a True Demonic Dragon (Epic, Intelligence +6, Magic Power +6)
* Blessed by the Moon (Ex U, Magic Power +8) |
| Stats | |||
| Strength | 26 | Intelligence | 94 (+6) |
| Agility | 28 | Stamina | 32 |
| Magic Power | 55 (+18) | ||
| Potential: (235+24/478)
Uniqueness: A person with the true demonic dragon Aojin and the dark elf Shilla’s blood, the end of her growth can’t be seen . Skill: Body Control (R), Undead Manufacturing (U) |
|||
|
[Before and After Comparison] Strength 23 Intelligence 100 Agility 21 Stamina 27 Magic 60 Potential (211+20/478) Strength 26 Intelligence 100 Agility 28 Stamina 32 Magic 73 Potential (235+24/478) |
The Death Wand gave an addition 4 magic power .
After her health was restored, her stats rose up rapidly .
But I was surprised to see that Body Control had transformed into a rare skill .
It had only been one month .
Body Control had risen from the normal rating to rare .
‘Ha . ’
Is this the power of 100 intelligence?
The growth rate of the skill was unbelievable .
After a few months, it didn’t seem impossible for Body Control to reach the unique rating . The same was true for Undead Manufacturing .
Anyway, it was good that someone under my command had grown .
I shook my head and opened my mouth .
“Do any of you have experience leading an army?”
Two people raised their hands .
Dark elf Julliom and dwarf Stein .
Both of them were leaders of their village .
“Only two?”
“It will depend on your criteria of the army, Dungeon Master . ”
Julliom carefully expressed his opinion .
“Leading more than 500 would be good . ”
“Then there are two more people . ”
Three dark elves .
I moved my line of sight .
“Dwarves?”
“One more . ”
“A total of five . That should be okay . ”
I couldn’t randomly release the monster wave . A commanding presence was needed to lead them .
“The five of you step forward . Chrisley is permitted to take two steps . ”
Chrisley moved forward with the five people behind her .
The dark elves and dwarves gathered together . Chrisley was two steps away .
“A week later, the 1st monster wave will take place . It will be composed of 5,000 orcs, kobolds and gnolls and will create trouble for the humans . ”
“Dungeon Master . The 1st?”
Julliom asked an appropriate question .
“The 1st monster wave is just a device intended to awaken the human’s awareness . Except for Chrisley, you five will step out . It doesn’t matter if the creatures are lost but all leaders have to return safely . The next monster wave will occur after two months . At that time, Chrisley will be in charge of the mission . In addition, the quality of their creatures will change . ”
The 1st wave would just be a teaser .
I clenched my fists tightly and said .
“Time is running out . First, I will assign 1,000 creatures to each commander . You have a week to train them in the basics . Go forth from the dungeon and devastate the humans!”
“As you command!”
“As you command!”
The six commanders including Chrisley bowed their heads deeper .
“The remaining dark elves and dwarves will have a separate task . They were take care of the pyrock larvae that I’ve released on the 6th floor . After the pyrock larvae sticks out from the ground, letting them rest for 30 minutes is enough . There is a place with no lava so build houses to live in the area . ”
I quickly divided their roles .
The 1st wave that would take place after one week!
I was busy preparing for the move .
* * *
The 3rd and 4th floor were filled with 500 orcs .
4,500 kobolds and goblins .
There were an additional 20 harpies and goblin and kobold bosses that would be part of the 1st wave .
An army that humans could defeat .
There were no nuclear weapons . It was different with tanks and fighter jets but the regular infantry would find it difficult to deal with the creatures .
Even if they were armed with modern weapons, there were no humans that didn’t fear death .
Kung! Kung!
The footprints of the creatures rang through the dungeon .
The creatures were neatly lined up on the dungeon’s 1st floor .
I raised my right hand as I slowly moved forward .
“Let’s move out . ”
“Let’s move out!”
Kung! Kung!
The army of 5,000 creatures left the dungeon while being led by the 5 commanders .
* * *
The South Korean troops near Bukhan Mountain .
A number of soldiers were deployed in case the creatures emerged from the dungeon .
It wasn’t easy for civilians to reach here and they were positioned in a place where they could observe the entrance .
But it had been more than a year and the creatures hadn’t left the dungeon .
Discipline had been neglected and now it was just a routine patrol .
The troops stationed at the dungeon brought entertainment such as a pack of cards .
“5 matches . ”
“I’m sorry . I also have a match . ”
They were playing at the table originally used for operation planning . They squandered money and now there were only two people remaining .
But now it seemed to be ending .
The soldier who lost money had a long face .
“That is our Captain-nim . Just a little bit is acceptable . Ha! Today Captain-nim should buy chicken for the kids of our squadron .
The captain tsked at his men .
“You rascals, you think that I should buy chicken for the kids? I’m going to use the money to go and see Madam Jeong . ”
It was at that moment .
Just as all the money was being swept up! The door opened and someone came in .
The captain frowned .
“You should knock before you come in……”
“Captain-nim! I-it is serious! A monster wave!”
The captain laughed .
“Are you high?”
“You must be dreaming or something . ”
“That friend’s words are a little strange . ”
The other soldiers also laughed .
Teong!
But more patrolling soldiers kept entering through the door and the atmosphere changed .
“M-monster wave!”
“An estimated number of more than 4,000! The creatures are exiting the dungeon!”
* * *
Tang! Tatang!
Gun shots resounded from all over the mountain .
The smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air .
“Son of a bitch!”
Dududududu!
The armoured vehicles were blindly firing machine guns at the goblins .
A few distracted goblins were killed .
The creatures didn’t fear death .
The soldiers at the front all received the same fate .
The goblins attacked while neglecting their lives .
“Kkack!”
In a brief instant .
The soldier’s face was instantly torn in half by the sharp teeth of the goblins . The soldiers were instantly killed . It was a gory sight but at least they didn’t have to suffer from being eaten alive .
Kieeek!
Something penetrated through the forehead of the goblin that was eating the soldier’s neck .
The goblin was riddled with hundreds of holes from bullets .
The soldiers near the body opened fire .
“Die scum!”
The soldiers frowned at the sight .
There were the remains of vomit at the corners of their mouths . This scene was very common here .
The creatures didn’t fear death but the soldiers definitely did!
The permanent post at Bukhan Mountain had received a surprise ambush . There was no radio contact under conditions like these .
The soldiers used the bullets and grenades in their arsenal and barely survived .
There were already a shootout against the creatures inside the garrison . Out of 150 soldiers, only 10 barely survived .
Their faces had already darkened .
“Captain-nim, are you okay?”
“Shit! Do I look like I’m okay? All the wounded people, follow me! Move!”
They didn’t know .
There might be more creatures in the vicinity .
The troops would have no future if they met the orcs .
The wounded soldiers started moving .
But who knew?
That it would be like he said……
Chwiik . Chwiiik .
“Shit… . ”
The captain cursed as he heard the familiar rough breathing of an orc .
* * *
The 7-Eleven near Buksan Mountain .
Today a convenience store worker called Kim Gun-sam gulped as a scantily clad woman wearing a fine silver blouse and short hot pants entered .
“Welcome~”
The woman ignored him and went to the corner where the tampons were . Kim Gun-sam secretly admired her while drinking .
‘Hya! Look at that rear . ’
The curve of her **** was emphasized by the hot pants . It was natural for the eyes to be drawn there .
‘A person who works in the nightlife? I often see women like this in the red light district . Hehe……’
The value of the land around Bukhan Mountain had dropped due to the dungeon .
It was dangerous working near a dungeon but he had grudgingly accepted the job at the convenience store .
He had been working the part time job for a couple of days .
His mind had transformed into an oasis .
There were plenty of cheap entertainment places near the convenience store .
The woman placing items on the counter had that ‘good feel . ’
Kim Gun-sam looked at the cold wind blowing outside .
‘She must be freezing . ’
She was **** but there were disadvantages to it .
Kim Gun-sam coughed and said .
“Hmm hmm! 8,800 won . Would you like an envelope?”
“That value should be covered by you . ”
“Huh?”
“My ass, didn’t you keep staring at it?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about Customer-nim . ”
Kim Gun-sam hastily said with embarrassment .
And how did this woman know when she didn’t even turn her head?
His conscience pricked but he had to deny it .
The woman stared at Kim Gun-sam .
“Should we check the CCTV? You were definitely looking at my ass!”
Why did this woman know that he was staring?
‘This day?’
Kim Gun-sam was about to protest when he saw something outside the glass windows .
“Look!”
“C-c……”
“What?
Eobobo . Kim Gun-sam’s finger trembled as he pointed outside .
The woman turned with a frown but she soon showed the exact same reaction as Kim Gun-sam .
“Ah… . . ”
“Creatures!”
Both of them were gazing towards the same place .
Hundreds of creatures were moving on foot .
* * *
Monster wave .
The phenomenon that involved creatures coming out of the dungeon .
It had already happened a few times in other countries but South Korea officially had the 5th monster wave .
The soldiers stationed near the dungeon sacrificed themselves but weren’t able to repel the advance of the creatures .
The creatures that came down from Bukhan Mountain immediately attacked Gangbuk-gu and Eunpyeong-gu (gu=district) .
The residents were evacuated after noticing the existence of the creatures but Ui-dong, Suyu-dong and Galhyeon-dong (dong= neighbourhoods in the districts . Ui-dong & Suyu-dong= Gangbuk-gu . Galhyeon-dong= Eunpyeong-gu) were destroyed .
In fact, many people were already concerned .
It was common sense that a monster wave would ravage cities near the area .
But the media and government talked about the soldiers stationed there so the people believed that creatures would be **** in the dungeon .
However, the military’s response was dull .
Central Seoul’s economy, culture and transportation couldn’t cope with it .
As a result, the casualties reached 1,732 people .
When including the wounded, it reached over 2,000 people .
They succeeded in repelling the creatures that emerged from the dungeon but it caused them a massive headache .
* * *
‘So they are trying to hit the dungeon . ’
I was watching the scene while relaxing from the top floor of the dungeon .
The Dungeon Core was showing it through a hologram so I was entertained .
The pride of the army might have been crushed if the Awakened hadn’t joined them . It was the perfect response of an idiot .
There was an intense surge of magic power inside the tower .
What was magic power? Originally it was the fundamental power .
It was the source of modern civilization in human hands . They gnawed on the source instead of using it properly . Even if it worked, I didn’t get any bad feelings from it .
The Awakened could use the magic power to use modern weapons more efficiently .
But an army consisting of normal humans trying to invade an army?
I started laughing .
‘Killing ordinary people won’t give any points but……’
Only the existence of the Awakened gave points . Other dungeon creatures and demons also gave points but normal humans were worth nothing .
Of course, a public massacre would earn him some achievements .
Contributing to the destruction of the earth .
And if I killed 100 million people then a title and achievement could be obtained .
I would rather receive the contributions from killing the demons . Killing everyone in South Korea would be insufficient to reach 100 million . It was very tedious work .
It was better to use the demons .
‘I should give a gift to Chrisley . The volume produced with Undead Manufacturing will be fun . ’
I smiled as I determined the future of those entering the dungeon .
Anyway, using the Undead Manufacturing skill would raise the proficiency .
It was recycling .
‘But…it didn’t feel good to have my dungeon ignored . ’
Before the monster wave happened, the army had ignored me for North Korea . What did that mean?
They seemed to be looking down on me .
My army only consisted of 5,000 low level creatures but……
‘I will welcome them as the Dungeon Master . ’
Of course, I wouldn’t be greeting them directly .
I wasn’t going to show my official appearance .
An army of humans meeting the Dungeon Master?
It didn’t fit .
It was different from the Awakened entering in large numbers . Even then, only a few creatures handled them .
After summarizing my thoughts, I had Krasla gather the dark elves .
The dwarves were left alone . Right now they needed to take care of the pyrock .
And the propagating harpies were in charge of the 20 mud golems and 30 puppets on the 5th floor .
* * *
Kuong .
Kuong .
The 20 golems that were 4 metres high and weighing 2 tons were lined up in a row .
They were made of hardened mud refined through alchemy and magic .
Among the intermediate creatures, there were none that was inferior to them .
Next to them were the 30 puppets made out of metal in the form of human beings .
The dark elves had climbed up one by one on both shoulders of the mud golem . They are armed with a bow and short dagger .
The dark elves could shoot arrows in the dark and could swing their knife quickly like an assassin .
In addition, the synergy with the dungeon meant that the dark elves were invincible against the humans .
Their number reached 40 .
The combined total of 120 wasn’t a large amount .
“Stop!”
Hwaruruk!
The fire horse, Inferno!
Krasla was sitting on Inferno .
The magic earrings were removed and his original appearance was regained .
In addition, there was an extremely determined look in his eyes .
‘Inferno has been entrusted to me . In other words, I had to launch an overwhelming force that will devastate the enemy!’
Dungeon Master .
I directly lent him Inferno .
He was a general and his enemy was a country .
No matter how brief it was, Krasla had experience and knew how weak their army was . They couldn’t use their tools and would be easily beaten .
Tactics? Strategy?
There was no need .
A frontal attack!
So I would completely break them .
Krasla and his troops were on the 1st floor . Scouts confirmed that the enemy was 500 metres in front of them .
Krasla raised his red spear .
“The enemies are in front . The dirty humans should withdraw their footsteps . Their numbers are plentiful but they are weak! We will trample on them for Master!”
Joy rose in the eyes of the dark elves .
They came from the Demon World . A world where the strong ruled . It was natural for the weak to be stepped on .
The dark elves might be weak in power but this was a chance to prove their worth .
They were pleased!
Krasla extended his spear and kicked Inferno to move forward .
Ihihing!
Inferno started to run .
Krasla shouted in a loud voice .
“Sweep through those guys without leaving one of them behind!”
* * *
The Philippines, China, India, France and South Korea .
It was the order that the monster waves occurred in .
With the exception of France that didn’t have the dungeon secured properly in the first place, the troops stationed nearby rapidly coped with it .
There were thousands of casualties and property damage due to the tanks so the amount of people complaining were very high .
The current government tried to reduce the danger of the dungeons through propaganda but it only worked on certain groups .
The damage and danger of the dungeon was enough to shake public opinion .
In order to change the flow of this, a meeting was held in a secret bunker between the Defense Minister, President, head of the Security Council and the Lieutenant General .
Kwang!
“If this operation fails then we will all die . It should be fine . But didn’t we lose contact with the team not long after they entered the dungeon? Lieutenant General Choi Chun-ji . Did you install the wire connection directly?
The president slammed his fist down on the table while the sweating Choi Chun-ji licked his lips .
“President-nim . Don’t worry . The power of the Special Division is unbeatable . The creatures won’t be able to stop their firepower . ”
“Lieutenant General Choi Chun-ji! It is obvious that they will sweep through the dungeon . The problem is doing it with minimal damage! I can’t relax let alone breathe until I know what is going on!”
Lieutenant Choi Chun-ji had a frustrated heart Didn’t he know how great the power of one division was? A division specially organized to handle the dungeon .
The armed Special Forces contained k1a1 and k2 armoured tanks which were considered as the strongest .
It wasn’t a power that the creatures could face .
The soldiers also had the latest firearms .
“Don’t worry Sir . Even though communication was lost, we can still receive from the signaller . We just need to wait a few hours and we shall receive very good news . ”
Lieutenant Choi Chun-ji was confident .
He couldn’t be anything else .
There were a number of political relationships tangled up in the dungeon but it was just a matter of performance . It was easy to deal with the people’s complaints .
Thousands of creatures were wiped out so Choi Chun-ji couldn’t understand the president’s attitude .
The president’s fist trembled .
“It must be like that . If you don’t want your throat cut…by any means!”
* * *
Unlike Choi Chun-ji’s hopeful observation, the situation of the soldiers wasn’t very good .
8,000 people could easily move past the creatures but as they got deeper into the dungeon, more things started to malfunction .
First, the wire communications and radio were jammed . The tanks started emitting smoke and firearms stopped working .
“Division Commander-nim . All communications are jammed . It will take 5 hours for the signaler to return to the dungeon entrance . What do you want to do?”
“Continue the operation . We can handle the creatures . ”
The Division Commander firmly gave an order to continue the operation .
The faces of the soldiers darkened as they heard those words .
They already knew that the products of modern science would become jammed in the dungeon . The United States had already made their information about the dungeon public . No, they knew there was a high chance the operation wouldn’t work .
But the soldiers had to follow the command . A few of them spoke words of complaint .
“Eh . I have no interest in going up……”
One of the soldiers muttered to himself . The surrounding soldiers nodded their heads in agreement .
Those with wealth and power only cared about the Cores but the soldiers felt frantic . They weren’t interested in the inside of the dungeon .
The Awakened were the ones meant to deal with the dungeon .
To capture the dungeon using only the strength of humans, it felt……
“What is that?”
“Why is the ground shaking?”
“Stop!”
Kuwuong!
Kuwuuong!
Suddenly a loud sound could be heard from a short distance away . The soldiers were puzzled and turned their flashlights and torches in the direction .
A horse was approaching at a very fast speed . It was ridiculous but the horse was on fire! Someone was riding on top of it .
It was first time in their lives that they saw something like that . The mouths of the soldiers dropped open . The unusual horse was a surprising sight .
But the soldiers lost their spirits the moment they saw something else .
Dozens of huge golems!
The sight was overwhelming .
Next to them were shining metal dolls that moved quickly .
“Prepare to fight! Prepare to fight!”
It became a full length battlefield .
* * *
What was the reason for dividing the creatures between floors?
This arrangement was solely conceived for the Awakened . It could be used to raise them, increasing the points .
But…humans couldn’t even step foot in the dungeon . There was no need to wait by dividing it among floors .
In addition, the humans weren’t Awakened and couldn’t resist the creatures inside the dungeon .
Modern weapons were certainly powerful but it was limited inside the dungeon .
Almost all firearms jammed or caused a fatal error .
Didn’t they know that? Or were they ignoring it?
“Master . The humans are really stupid . If Master allows it then Yihi will make them go and bow down like dogs! Of course, there would be a tribute in exchange . A kiss is probably sufficient ~ yihihi . ”
Yihi said while looking at the progress of the battle through the crystal ball .
I had to admit that Yihi was stupid so I didn’t have an answer for her .
Yihi quietly approached but I raised my hand .
I grabbed Yihi between the thumb and index finger of my right hand and stared at the crystal ball .
* * *
“Shit . Aim the muzzle correctly!”
“I-it isn’t firing properly! The focus of the scope is slightly changing!”
“Throw grenades!”
“The safety pin isn’t pulled properly? It isn’t popping out!”
“Aaaagh!”
Noisy!
8,000 soldiers were attacking .
The bullets fired from the gun would move slightly away from the aimed target . If they closed their eyes and fired then there would be friendly fire .
A thrown grenade wouldn’t explode or the extent of the explosion would be reduced . Any golems hit were quickly restored .
The dolls made of metal?
They were a similar size to humans and had sharp blades .
They were capable of stabbing and piercing .
The division commander told them .
“Are the tanks moving?”
“No! It will take time to repair the engine! None of the tanks are moving!”
“Damn!”
The division commander frowned as he heard those words .
The situation was rather disturbing . The grenades didn’t even work properly . It was the first time he had seen modern weapons disabled like this .
“Swords! Take out your swords!”
The division commander shouted .
The soldiers regained their spirits at the commander’s loud voice .
They immediately put away their guns and pointed their greatswords at the incoming puppets .
Chiing!
But the greatsword was only good for damaging biological existences . A common human that wasn’t Awakened couldn’t damage the metal puppet .
It was limited to just scratches .
But the puppets were moderately put in check . The golems were very big so their movements were slow .
The real problem was the dark elves with dark skin riding them while wielding long spears .
There was approximately 40 of them .
But they couldn’t be resisted .
They moved in the darkness like shadows .
The Special Forces struggled but they had limits .
They learned how to deal with humans but weren’t prepared to face such strong creatures .
The result was very bleak .
“After all…keok!”
The division commander about to order a retreat was beheaded .
Krasla!
He had narrowed the distance with Inferno and swung his spear .
The soldiers were helpless before his breakthrough power . The soldiers on the front lines started to die one by one .
The dark elves quickly understood and only aimed at them .
A chain of confusion!
A situation that had exploded out of control .
At this moment, they all sat down with ‘despair . ’
* * *
The security conference .
The president leaned back in his chair and stared up at the ceiling with a pale expression .
It had been two days since contact had been disconnected .
As more time passed with no contact, the mood of the conference room sunk like they were at a funeral .
“Still…no contact?”
The president spoke in a voice mixed with phlegm while Lieutenant Choi Chun-ji kept his mouth tightly closed . It had been a few days with no contact so the worst result must have happened .
After a long moment, Lieutenant General Choi Chun-ji spoke up .
“I’ve sent a search party . Just wait a little longer……”
“A little longer, a little longer! How long is a little bit? If this operation fails then take off your clothes . ”
Choi Chun-ji shut his mouth at the president’s words .
They all knew .
Previously there were only 1,700 casualties so it was difficult to imagine 8,000 people being wiped out .
The special troops of South Korea . It would be fortunate if Choi Chun-ji’s only consequence was taking off his clothes .
At this time, the defense minister carefully spoke .
“President-nim . Measures…we need to establish them . ”
The president tapped his finger on the desk as he sighed .
“Apologize to the country . Is there any other method besides resigning?”
“Sir, the results are still unknown . The soldiers might return after brilliantly performing the operation……”
“Don’t bother . I know a lot of people are dissatisfied with the current administration . The backlash will just get worse over time . ”
The president continued with a determined expression .
“Okay . Let’s cover it up as much as possible . ”
The next day, the news related to the dungeon and the soldiers were extremely limited . The information was deliberately concealed from all media, information agencies and organizations .
Questions were just answered mechanically with ambiguous words like ‘soon there will be news . ’
Even the portal sites weren’t safe . A large amount of data was censored or deleted on the forums .
But no matter how hard they tried to hide it, cracks started to form and they couldn’ stop the water from rising .
In the first place, it had been impossible to pull the wool over their eyes .
After a month passed and the soldiers didn’t return, public opinion completely turned against the current government .
The Awakened played a decisive role .
Some guilds searched inside the dungeon and found the tanks that the soldiers had used . There weren’t any bodies lying around but it didn’t look good .
It was almost like a story .
After a few days, uniformed zombies began to occasionally emerge on the 1st floor . The appearance of the soldiers wandering around was terrible .
The public exploded like a spring .
At first it was just a peaceful protest but things couldn’t be easily resolved . They were all parents or family of the soldiers .
In the end, the president apologized by resigning and a number of candidates ran for the presidency .
A reporter from the United States, John also covered these series of events .
It was titled ‘The Useless and Ridiculous Pride Along with Ignorance caused the Worst Result . ’
At the same time, he published a book called ‘Dungeon Attack Record’ that detailed the monster wave that took place in South Korea and heavily criticized the government .
Thus, 2 months passed since the first monster wave occurred in South Korea .
