Until Ha-yeon and Seong-wook arrived, they lightly warmed themselves up as a 4th-grade magician, and each conducted a 1:1 battle.

After a while, the two arrived.

“Today, I’m going to hunt the 3rd-class gate beast. Everyone, get ready.”

I had no intention of using the stigma on this hunt.

I couldn’t think of any other way to use it, so it didn’t make any sense either.

“Level 3 Inquiry Beast…”

Everyone was a little nervous, but only the sound of swallowing saliva was heard in the silence.

“As I said, Seongwook immediately identifies his abilities as soon as the demon appears, and prepares to seal his abilities until instructed otherwise.”

“yes.”

Seongwook nodded with a sad expression on his face.

Although he wasn’t actually fighting the battle himself, he seemed to know very well that his mission was by no means light.

“Ha-yeon, please don’t use damage sharing until Sang-yeon goes crazy.”

“yes.”

“You know even if Sang-yeon doesn’t say anything, right?”

“of course.”

Goo Goo-yeon looked quite excited after a long time.

It had a similar expression just before hunting a level 4 beast, but it was not as strong as I thought, and it withered quickly, but now the feeling of upliftment is continuing.

“As always, Inhwan, attack whenever you see a gap. You know the best time to see the gaps without saying anything?”

“Of course. It’s not even just one or two breaths.”

In the meantime, not only hunting for beasts, but also fighting, and understanding each other’s habits and fighting styles, Inhwan was showing a confident expression as usual.

“Then, I summon you.”

Seonghyeon deliberately did not read the description of the beast just before summoning the 3rd class beast.

Only the space where the battle takes place is artificial, and I wanted to make everything else look like a real battle.

After Seonghyeon finished speaking, everyone else wore bracelets.

That’s how a 3rd-grade beast was summoned.

“…”

The higher the level, the bigger and stronger the power, but the demonic beast that appeared this time was rather small.

However, compared to humans, it was large.

“Oh, stealth! It’s stealth!”

“Hidden…?”

Seongwook recognized his abilities as soon as the demon appeared.

Again, as soon as Seongwook finished speaking, Masu disappeared in an instant.

“It’s a secret after all. Seongwook! How long does it take to seal the ability?”

“I need five or five minutes!”

It was quite difficult to deal with an invisible enemy.

‘It’s a different level of stealth than that man back then.’

At that time, he was trying to assassinate Seong-hyeon, to be more precise, it wasn’t an assassination, but anyway, the secret of the man he was about to attack was just a secret that seemed to have disappeared from his sight.

However, the stealth shown by the 3rd-class gate magician was on a completely different level.

As if it had never existed in this place from the beginning, I did not feel the appearance, the sign, or even the intention of killing us at all.

“Everyone is behind you…!”

“Aww!”

Before Seonghyeon could even finish speaking, a scream could be heard from the back.

In-hwan and Seong-wook were the only people behind Seong-hyeon, and when Seong-hyun turned his head, Seong-wook was lying on the floor.

“Seongwook!”

Seong-hyeon immediately ran to Seong-wook.

In a situation like now where we can’t confirm the hidden beast, the most important thing is to seal Seongwook’s ability.

‘Is the beast aware of it?’

It was quite suspicious that it wasn’t Inhwan and that he was attacking Seongwook exactly.

‘no. There’s no way he’d have that kind of intelligence.’

It was a different kind from what the goblin chieftain had shown before.

Because it was a mutated gate, the goblin chieftain had abnormal intelligence.

At least a second-class gate beast had the intelligence to attack the weak part of the opponent.

“I will heal you right away…”

Although he instinctively ran to Seong-wook, Seong-wook was a person of faith, and Seong-hyeon immediately grasped the situation and tried to stop and heal Seong-wook.

‘…Standing!’

As if he had grasped that Seong-hyeon was trying to heal, he felt a cold sign right in the back of his head.

For some reason, he felt like he would be fatally wounded, so he quickly bent down and swung the sword he was holding.

“…”

I was proud to say that it was definitely a great speed.

In addition, Seong-hyeon knew the size of the opponent and swung it accurately towards the vital point confirmed by the ability to grasp the vital point.

Even if it couldn’t inflict a fatal wound, at least the wound, even if it didn’t hurt, I thought I might be able to see a fleeting moment, but that expectation was completely wrong.

“Kim Seong-hyun! Are you okay?”

Sang-yeon was running towards Seong-hyun with an urgent voice.

“I’m okay! Sang-yeon will cover me for a while, and Ha-yeon, please use the damage sharing right away!”

“Yes Yes!”

As soon as Seong-hyeon finished his instructions, a scream was heard again from In-hwan’s position.

“Wow!”

Judging that it was difficult to deal with Seong-hyeon, Ma-su aimed at In-hwan, and fortunately, In-hwan managed to react to the attack and leaned back with a few wounds.

“…Seongwook needs to come to his senses first.”

I tried to use the stigmata, but I couldn’t even use the stigma unless I knew the moment of attack and felt no presence.

It’s an irresistible stigmata, but if you can’t use it in the first place, the irresistible doesn’t mean anything.

But unfortunately, Seongwook had already been healed.

I just can’t make up my mind.

‘Even if you wake up, it takes time to seal your abilities.’

And I thought that there was no one other than myself who could earn that time.

Inhwan was also injured, and Sangyeon and Hayeon were unable to attack their opponents.

In such a situation, Seonghyun was the first target for Masu.

In the end, Sunghyun had to endure.

“…Both of you, please protect Inhwan.”

“What, what?”

“yes? Then Seong-hyeon…”

“Quick, don’t ask why.”

With Seong-hyeon’s resolute tone and expression, which is rarely seen, the two trusted Seong-hyeon and moved to In-hwan’s side.

And as soon as the two of them left their seats, a cold feeling began to appear in the back of their necks as if they had seized the opportunity.

‘Still, this is enough to avoid!’

Contrary to the unexpected start, now he was expecting to attack himself, and it was not that difficult to avoid it because he could only feel the presence from behind.

The vice president, who was leisurely drinking tea and looking at the screen, got up from the sofa where he had just laid himself down and brought his face closer to the screen.

“Hey, what is that?”

The vice president was suspicious of what he was seeing right now, to the point of being embarrassed for a moment and the dialect came out.

“Why, why that beast…!”

Just then, the door opened and a secretary appeared with papers.

“Rain, secretary? Would you like to see this?”

“yes? what…”

The secretary, who was checking the monitor screen while holding the document, dropped the document he was holding to the ground.

“Hey, why is that…!”

“Now, let’s go now!”

“Yes Yes!”

The vice president and secretary left the documents that had fallen on the floor and headed straight to where Sunghyun was.

“Now, you have to explain it properly. Why was that beast summoned?”

“…yes. All right.”

The two of them were silent until they reached the place and hurriedly got into the elevator.

The vice president seemed to be in a lot of urgency, pushing the elevator, pushing the only button he had.

‘Please, please, I hope nothing goes wrong.’

The reason these two were so confused was simple.

The beast that Seonghyun summoned today was the third-class beast.

However, the problem was that it was a mutated 3rd-class door beast.

Among the mutated 3rd-class gate beasts, at the end of the day, a beast specialized in person-to-person warfare, as the abilities specialized in interpersonal warfare and witchcraft warfare are all different from the abilities of hunters, the same is true of beasts, but in fact, a witchcraft specialized in person-to-person warfare appeared.

It would have been easier to deal with if the subjugation squad had been formed on a large scale, but now Seonghyeon had only 5 people, the minimum standard for the subjugation squad.

“…the tragedy of that day must not happen again. Can you possibly stop the equipment?”

“It is…impossible. Since it is already connected to the virtual beast, side effects such as forcibly removing the bracelet occur.”

If so, stopping the equipment was not an option.

In the end, all that was left was for Seonghyeon’s team to deal with the 3rd-class doorman that specializes in interpersonal combat.

The elevator arrived with a ding, and the vice president and secretary, with dry lips, waited for the elevator door to open.

“Everyone is fine…!”

I pushed the door open with my hand, which seemed to open very slowly, and went inside.

“…Well?”

“uh?”

However, the scene unfolding before my eyes was something I had never imagined.

Thanks to this, the vice president and secretary just stared at each other with stupid sounds and stupid expressions.

“What happened?”

“yes? Vice president and secretary? What’s going on here…”

Sunghyun looked at the two with a puzzled expression.

He looked like he didn’t know what had happened.

“Uh, that… the magical beast…”

“Ah, if it’s a stealth beast, I’ve dealt with it. Level 3 door beasts certainly seem to be one or two different dimensions from level 4 door beasts.”

Looking at Seonghyeon’s torn collar, it looked like Seonghyeon was also wounded.

Of course, there were only traces, but no wounds.

“No, how do you deal with that beast…”

“By the way… Vice President.”

“Yes?”

“You seem to know what kind of beast we were hunting.”

“Ah, that’s…”

The vice president couldn’t think of one because he came down in a hurry.

That he was checking the video without Sunghyun’s consent.

“sorry. It is my fault.”

On behalf of the vice president who was thinking about the answer, the secretary came first and bowed deeply.

“From the words of the Vice President, it seems that he was constantly checking us, is that right?”

“…you’re right. However, we are not here to guide you to check out Hunter Kim! To provide a more comfortable environment…”

“it’s okay. I know well enough that I didn’t mean to.”

The two breathed a sigh of relief at Seonghyun’s reaction.

When I checked the condition of the others with a slightly calmer mind, there were still many traces of wounds.

“How did you deal with this beast?”

“It’s just… I caught it like any other beast.”

Looking back, Seong-hyeon’s sword was stained with red blood.

Seeing that the blood still did not solidify and dripped on the floor, it seemed that a large amount had been smeared on the sword.

‘Huh, you said you caught that beast as if you were catching any other beast?’

I am very sorry that I did not see the video.

I was aware of using a sword because I always wore it, but it was hard to believe that the healer used a sword to deal with a mutated 3rd-class doorman specializing in person-to-person combat, even though there were four other witnesses.

“But what is this beast that made you come in such a hurry?”

The vice president and secretary hesitated for a moment to answer.

There had been a time when a mutated beast of a gate appeared once, but since then, there has been no such thing, so I completely forgot about it.

“That is…”

The vice president opened his mouth slowly with a slightly sorry expression on his face.
