Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 133

48. Sudden change of situation (1)

When Lee Ji-hye returned from finishing her demon, the interrogation of Cha Shin Hyeon and El Ter had just finished.

While she was away for a while, a dragon suddenly appeared, and she questioned her.

“How are you here?”

“I called. I want to ask you something.”

Cha Shin Hyeon reassured Lee Ji-hye and asked.

“it’s okay? It looked like he came out of the dungeon a little more.”

“Ah, yes, there were about a hundred more. I’m done with processing.”

She didn’t show any visible wounds, but she was a little tired.

Upon reaching the level of communism, the power can be used indefinitely, but the amount that can be used at a time is limited.

It was impossible to fight by ignorantly blocking the energy bombs fired by hundreds of demons from the front and ignorantly pouring out strong energy. That’s what Cha Shin Hyeon does.

While actively utilizing the infinite power, avoiding avoidance moderately and fighting strategically to some extent. As a result, it was physically exhausting. It was, of course, a step forward for her compared to her former self.

“It’s an interrogation. I thought Shin Hyeon would do better, so she didn’t do anything special. Did you find out anything?”

“I think you might have noticed that it wasn’t a normal monster.”

“If you ask me like that, it means that it is. A sentient that transcended dimensions. It’s not a dragon blood, is it a demon?”

The intelligent Lee Ji-hye seemed to have already guessed.

“okay.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who nodded her head, shared what she had found out. It was information that had been cross-verified after capturing Elter and one by one, digging up with words and phrases.

“It seems that the pawns you were dealing with were low-ranking, and the commanders were middle-class demons. It was a force in charge of the advance squad, and if it was judged that it was safe to pass over, it was the role of calling the latter. Of course, since they were annihilated here, there is a high possibility that the latter will not come.”

“That’s great. However… Low and Intermediate? Was it possible that even the seniors were waiting for the latter?”

“It’s not a big enough rift for a reward to pass through. Thanks to that, this is the end of it.”

“… How strong are the advanced demons?”

“Do you know Mardil, my subordinate? It can be considered that it is comparable to that of the higher level hemolysis.”

“Then he’s very strong… … .”

At Elter’s answer, Lee Ji-hye mumbled tremblingly.

Practically, her higher level hemolysis is not much different from her own. It was never enough to be able to determine with certainty her victory or defeat.

The problem with her is that her level of hunters is only one number that can be counted across the globe. On the other hand, what about high-level demons? There can be no more than a few. Then the dragon blood wouldn’t have been driven away.

“No, of course, I knew that demons were strong, but… I didn’t think she’d ever bump into it like this.”

“You will never see a high-level demon. Even the dimensional gap that intermediate demons can cross is on the very large side. There are very few cracks larger than that, and they are under our control.”

“Are you sure? I remember that this incident was not even mentioned at all.”

“It is definitely my negligence that I did not think of the lower-intermediate level. But above the senior level… … .”When Lee Ji-hye asked a question, Elter kept her mouth shut for a moment.

“Um, no. I can’t say for a hundred percent.”

“Hey, why did you say something different?”

Cha Shin Hyeon frowned. El Ther murmured, avoiding her gaze.

“The eight dungeons we currently live in are all true of the gigantic rift we have identified. But we weren’t even aware of the end of the world, so there could be places we don’t know about. It would be better to be honest than to make hasty predictions.”

“That doesn’t mean there’s always a chance that there’s a big hole everywhere. There’s no room to find it other than to search one by one. is not it?”

“… Yes. But, as I’ve always said, it’s very rare to even have a brief connection between different dimensions in the first place. It is unheard of in the old records that there are always holes like this, and that even powerful beings can pass over it.”

“therefore?”

“Eight gigantic fissures are already plenty. There is a higher probability that there will be no more than the probability that there will be more.”

Despite hearing the positive comments from Elter, neither Cha Shin Hyeon nor Lee Ji-hye were relieved at all. Common sense has been broken too much to hear what the probability is now.

“Even though the high-level demons are like that.”

Cha Shin Hyeon continued with an unfavorable tone.

“Even if we’re only mid-level demons, we don’t like it. According to what you said, there are a few more rifts that an intermediate level could fall through?”

“right. I’m not sure, but there must be at least a dozen.”

“It’s very dirty. If there are fifteen, would the top 30 dragon blood be able to stop it?”

“What, what?”

Elter was startled.

“Are you telling us to stop looking at us until there?”

“No?”

“30 people is more than half of the top dragon blood! Apart from the fact that the defense of the original dungeon is weakening that much, shouldn’t it be completely blocked like a machine!”

“Don’t worry. It’s just been said.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

Seniors may have to reconsider, but humanity is not weak enough to be pushed back by only a few middle-class people and hundreds of low-ranking people.

Chuncheon was like this, pushed by a little more troops than that, but it was because I was defeated unprepared. If you really start a war with the demons, the situation will be reversed.

If the demons keep crawling out, Cha Shin Hyeon or Dragon Blood cannot stop them forever. He’s not even a nanny. He must also know how to do what he can on his own.

“Besides demons, there will still be monsters from high-risk dungeons pouring out, so if you try to stop them carefully, there is no end. It’s actually close to a foul that I’m walking around and blocking.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said coldly.

“The time has come when humanity has to acknowledge it. The world now is no longer a world where only hunters face monsters.”

* * *

The Chuncheon disaster that caused the largest number of casualties since the Korean War, to the extent that the Bucheon disaster could be treated as ‘something’.

However, this horrific incident, of course, was featured in the domestic book, but did not attract much attention from the foreign press. This is because similar incidents did not occur in one or two places.

As Elter said, there were several cracks that low-level demons could pass through, and the invasion occurred almost simultaneously. Because of this, there were places where they were attacked in broad daylight, and there were places where they were brutally beaten in the middle of the night.

Compared to other places, the damage in Chuncheon was small, so relatively little attention was paid to it. Of course, in this case, the more attention it drew, the worse it was.

There are two places where the media has been particularly focused.

The ‘worst’ place was in western Hokkaido, Japan, with tens of thousands of casualties.

And the most dangerous place was Russia’s northern Siberia.

“It’s not even a fuss.”

Cha Shin Hyeon muttered as she sat on the sofa in the office and looked at the documents.

At a nearby work desk, Lee Ji-hye was working diligently. Donghwan Oh, her secretary, gathers her information from her various places and brings it back to her, and she organizes it secondaryly as needed.

The two men, who had cleaned up all the demons in Chuncheon, had returned to Seoul. In Chuncheon, guild leader Jeon Jun-hoo, some high-ranking hunters, and hundreds of middle-level hunters were sent to Chuncheon, so there was no worry. If something happens, you can move to space again.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who looked at the estimated amount of damage, frowned.

“It wouldn’t be a joke to recover.”

“Just think of the bombing in the city of Chuncheon. Human casualties were similar.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just make the area around the dungeon into a windless area in the yard that was all broken anyway? Or make it a military area that only soldiers and hunters can enter.”

“It might be better. Especially after going through this situation, I think I might die if I live near the entrance of the dungeon for nothing… … .”

Just tell Junho Jeon and he will take care of the details. Cooperation with the government is his responsibility.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s role in thinking about his role was to get rid of his demons, and the fuss behind it was out of interest. He thinks he’s already done enough for that.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who put aside the report related to the Chuncheon disaster, looked at news from around the world this time.

Again, Japan and Russia have the largest amount of data.

The Japanese case is honestly not very interesting. It was the place that suffered the most, but it was purely because it happened suddenly near the densely populated Sapporo.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s interest was Russia. Before I went to Chuncheon, I was in Russia, so it snowed even more.

“Should I say this is unlucky?”

“What?”

“Russia.”

In Russia, especially Siberia, the land is so large and the population is small, so dungeon management is not done properly.

After the dungeon break, there were some places that were not discovered until the monsters came out, and there were even cases where nearby residents did not report it and went hunting for them. Unreported dungeons and unreported hunters who often wander around the internet with humor such as ‘The Majesty of the Brown Bear Country’.

The place where demons came out was one of those places. I was unaware of the existence of the dungeon itself, so the response was inevitably delayed. Luckily, it was discovered by satellite.

However, it seems that the latter groups have already come out to see if the point has already been recognized as a safe zone by the demons. There were at least thousands of demon troops, or more than 10,000.

“This is a real war.”

“Yes. The Russian side did not know that they would bomb their territory. It’s a good thing it’s not crowded.”

“If there were human beings, they would have been found quickly and would not have reached this point. As in the case of Japan. It would have been hard to avoid people.”

Aside from the middle-class demons, even lower-level demons can kill humans as easily as worms. If such monsters swarmed in 10,000 units, this was not a situation to be dealt with at the guild level.

Russia’s response seemed to be narrowing the siege by besieging a wide area with military forces accompanied by hunters and continuing bombardment within.

“Can you still handle it?”“I will. If it’s like bullets or grenades, I don’t know, because the low-ranking demons aren’t strong enough to ignore the carpet bombing.”

The reason why the Supreme Master Gosu is so scary is that it can unleash great power ‘with only one sword’. If you just focus on ‘great power’, you can mobilize cannons or explosives. This is the reason why Moorim could not ignore the coffin.

The same is true in modern times. Hunters and demons are strong even with their bare body, but even ordinary people with no power can show off their majesty strong enough by borrowing the power of weapons. It’s just that tanks and fighters are expensive.

“And there is Elena Smirnova in Russia. There’s no way only a mid-level demon can stop the Gonggyeong’s uninhabited. If we advance step by step while receiving military support, we will be able to clear things up easily.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shrugged.

“Well, even if you don’t, you’ll figure it out. In fact, if you look at it, it’s another country’s story.”

“That’s right.”

“If people are dying in swarms because there is no power to stop them, I would help a little at a humanitarian level, but not that much. We have to deal with our own business. In that sense… I think I’m missing something.”

“What?”

Lee Ji-hye tilted her head. Cha Shin Hyeon scratched his chin.

“Obviously, I finished all the processing in Chuncheon, but it’s a shame.”

“Isn’t that just how you feel? If there was a problem, the guild leader would have called.”

“Um, so it is.”

at that time.

My work phone is ringing.

“… no way?”

“Hey, what kind of movie is that?”

“I’ve been shooting too many disaster movies lately.”

“It must be a superhero movie.”

While exchanging jokes, Cha Shin Hyeon pulled out her cell phone.

Fortunately, the sender’s name didn’t really say Junho Jeon.

Instead, a number I haven’t seen in a long time is stamped.

Changsik Kang.

It’s a call from North Korea.

“… Ah.”

The moment he thought of him, his mind brightened. Cha Shin Hyeon realized at once what made him feel uncomfortable.

Elter said.

Compared to monsters one-on-one, intermediate demons are very strong, so there must be strong monsters living in the cracks that intermediate demons can fall through.

Hearing that, Cha Shin Hyeon understood why demons appeared in Chuncheon. The Chuncheon Dungeon was impossible, because it was the highest risk dungeon.

However.

“Mount Kumgang… … .”

There is not one incomprehensible on the Korean Peninsula.
