Return To Level Up

Chapter 80

When the news of a dungeon raid in Japan was hitting the world, that is, when the dungeon raid in Korea was over and the awakened people were in the midst of getting together and drowning in alcohol, Ha-jin Kang was relaxing and relaxing after a long time.

Kang Ha-jin was lying on her back on the sofa close to the bed, checking the items she got this time.

[Marbas’s Promise][Mark of promise prepared by Marbas for King Cloud Eagle. It contains the power of Marbas, ‘reproduction’.]

Ha-jin Kang shook his head as he checked the information on the ring.

It wasn’t like that before the return, but I don’t know why Marvas intervenes so much this time.

Kang Ha-jin first checked the power of ‘reproduction’ in the information. It was not sealed, but the name was clearly specified, so it was possible to confirm it.

[breeding][The power that allows monsters to reproduce. If you acquire the perfect power, you can evolve from a monster to a new kind of demon.]

“Did you even risk such a thing to summon the king of cloud eagles?”

Perhaps, if the perfect power was delivered, Marbas was highly likely to lose that power.

So it must have been a really big reward and promise.

Ha-jin Kang thought about how to handle the proof of this promise.

Anyway, this was a very valuable item. Some of Marvas’ powers reside there.

‘The power of Marbas….’

No magic was felt in this ring. But I could tell that something mysterious power resided.

Although the reality was not clear.

Ha-jin Kang suddenly thought that using this would help him understand the power that is higher than the magic that he has been interested in since his return.

He did it right away when he thought of it.

He looked at the ring, focusing all his senses.

Of course, it didn’t go well at first. But as time went on, little by little, something tickled me.

The beginning was one of the patterns engraved on the ring.

There, something completely different from magic was felt more clearly.

So for a while, I practiced my senses out of time.

He focused and focused and focused again. Then, at one point, I felt like a thin film that was blocking something was ripped open.

My whole body suddenly felt refreshed.

And I lost my concentration.

Hajin Kang slowly closed his eyes to fully digest what he had just obtained as his own.

how much time has passed

Ha-jin Kang, who slowly opened his eyes, looked at the ring once again.

I felt a special power that I had never noticed before.

Perhaps that is the power of Marvass.

“It will be very helpful in the future.”

I decided to use this ring for training purposes and put it back into the subspace.

One thing is certain, the power was not the power that Ha-jin Kang had been trying to figure out.

As Ha-jin Kang predicted, it was the power to directly manage the system.

If you can fully understand it, you will know the system better, and you will be able to use it better.

And maybe he doesn’t know why he came back like this or why a dungeon is being opened on Earth.

‘By the way, should I open the seal on Marvass’s spear?’

The way to unlock the seal is simple. All you have to do is feed the Awakened Blood.

The blood of the Awakened is saved through blood donation.

In fact, if you invest time consistently, Guardians and Dungeon Breakers will be enough to get the blood needed to unlock the seal.

The question was whether it was possible to break the seal of this spear.

According to the information obtained by interrogating Jemur, this spear was an item made to establish Marbas’ realm.

The power contained in this must eventually be related to him.

However, if he recklessly unwrapped the seal, Ha-jin Kang would come forward and help Marbas.

So, you have to think it through before making a decision.

Hajin Kang shook his head. He decided to think about it later, once he decided to rest for now.

Hajin Kang lay on the sofa and turned on the TV.

The news was just coming out. It was news about a dungeon raid in Japan.

“It’s crazy.”

Ha-jin Kang already knew that he was going to be like that, so he wasn’t too calm.

The number of dungeons that have fallen in Japan now exceeds 150.

Compared to the number of dungeons that fell in Korea, it was only 25, a whopping six times the number.

Mathematically, it is said that six times the number of Awakenings mobilized by Korea is needed, and there was no way Japan had such Awakeneds.

Even in Korea, most of the awakened people residing in Korea managed to block it.

Even after doing so, several dungeons exploded in the meantime. So, how desperate is the situation in Japan?

If it all explodes, Japan will just collapse.

And it was practically impossible to stop them all.

Japan was now begging the world for help. But not everyone responded.

“Did you say that Jeyoung Group invested in Japan?”

Kang Ha-jin remembered that and smiled.

Perhaps the Jeyoung group and the DM, which has invested heavily in it this time, will not be able to avoid a major blow.

And once you have invested, you cannot easily throw it away.

They had only one option.

‘They will try to bring the awakened to Japan.’

Even if they don’t have to move, the Japanese government will take care of it, so a little help would be enough.

The Japanese government was in the process of recruiting the Awakeneds of the world with huge rewards.

And the Korean Awakening Administration started moving toward helping Japan.

Korea was considered relatively safe since the dungeon raid was over, so many awakened people were worried.

However, it was important how many awakened people from other countries gathered.

If the number is too small, it is better not to go at all.

“For now, it is not the time to rest.”

Hajin Kang turned off the TV and went outside.

In this case, he should dry the first person to move.

* * *

“Yes? don’t go? why?”

Hwang Soo-young looked at Kang Ha-jin with a fat expression.

“It’s dangerous.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s simple answer, Hwang Soo-young made an absurd expression.

“Because what we’re doing is inherently dangerous, isn’t it?”

“Do you think Hwang Soo-young will stop this?”

“I have to stop it somehow. Aren’t the Guardians going?”

“I’m not going.”

“Are you disappointed? I thought I would go to the Guardians without knowing where else to go.”

“If I go, I will never come back. Are you still going?”

Hwang Soo-young laughed.

“Why can’t you come again? You can’t stop it.”

“Because the Japanese government won’t let you go.”

If that’s the case, things change a bit.

“Is the assumption too harsh?”

Absolutely no guesswork I’m just talking about what happened before the return.

In the end, Japan could not stop the dungeon raid.

However, they succeeded in establishing an appropriate defense line.

He used the awakening of another country to protect the Japanese government.

The Japanese government prevented the Awakened from returning from other countries.

Because they knew it would be irreversible if they returned.

Naturally, there was a strong backlash, but they couldn’t just go out and die, so they cried and fought the monster to eat mustard.

But it had its limits.

In a situation where no more Awoken were added, more dungeons were opened, and as they exploded, the defense line collapsed.

The Japanese government’s choice was very simple.

They used their own Awakenings and the Awakeneds of other countries as discard cards and escaped from Japan.

In the meantime, he showed meticulousness in classifying the Awoken to choose as the discard plate.

Awakened persons belonging to countries or affiliated countries that the Japanese government could not afford were taken separately and left Japan together.

That was what happened in Japan before the return.

Hajin Kang calmly explained what happened before the return as if he had predicted it.

Hwang Soo-young did not easily accept those words.

“Still, I won’t stop you if you want to go. But I bet. If you go, you will definitely regret it later.”

Because Ha-jin Kang spoke so firmly, Soo-young Hwang fell into trouble.

In fact, it was even more worrying because Ha-jin Kang had not predicted one or two things like a prophet so far.

To be honest, it’s a long story, but when I heard Kang Ha-jin’s explanation, I kept feeling like it was going to happen.

“Oh, I don’t know!”

Hwang Soo-young scratched his head.

“I see. I’ll do that. You may regret it later, but…”

Kang Ha-jin said with a smile.

“It would be better to have a safe regret than a dangerous one. Please help me with this.”

“What else?”

“Please ask the Small and Medium Guild Association. Don’t go.”

Hwang Soo-young opened his mouth wide.

“Should I do that too? They can’t listen to me!”

“I will listen. For them, Suyeong Hwang and Dungeon Breaker are the future they dream of.”

“Wow, chicken meat! How can you say something like that without changing your expression?”

Hwang Soo-young rubbed his forearms and shook his body.

Kang Ha-jin continued speaking without any regard for Hwang Soo-young’s reaction.

“You shouldn’t be too outspoken. Those who are going must leave.”

“Yes? Anyone going?”

“The Jaeyoung group probably won’t stand still. It will be hard for you to think about it.”

“Aha, I see.”

Hwang Soo-young replied that he knew, and he thought to himself. When you look at it like this, Ha-jin Kang is a really scary person.

* * *

After drying Hwang Soo-young, Kang Ha-jin contacted Jeong A-yeon and asked him not to move around A-Market too.

He also asked them to think about withdrawing from Japan.

Of course, Jeong A-yeon was taken aback by those words.

This is because Japan is a country where A-market and DM are competing very fiercely.

For now, DM has a bit more dominance.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

DM was determined and pushed. It was a sneak peek of its ambition to dominate the global dungeon market, starting with Japan.

In this situation, if A-Market withdraws, it literally means only a lot of damage and exits. How can that be?

It was difficult to report that.

Hajin Kang did not try hard to persuade him. It was just said and left to A-Market to decide whether or not to do so.

In fact, while she spoke her words to Jeong-in, she saw that it was much more likely that she would not accept her own offer.

But it was completely different from what I expected.

Jeong A-yeon accepted Kang Ha-jin’s words so naively. She said her concern was how to report this, not whether she accepted it or not.

There were too many things that Ha-jin Kang had shown so far to just ignore it.

Perhaps she will not accept the A-market no matter how Jung Ah-yeon reports.

But there was a possibility that she might lose some strength.

That was enough.

If the DM seizes the opportunity, it will drive them to the brink, because if they do that, the DM’s damage will be much greater.

It didn’t happen at all before the return, but this time, as I did it, I ended up using it even in Japan.

Anyway, after making a few requests to Jeong A-yeon, the last person Kang Ha-jin met was Choi Dae-gil.

Ha-jin Kang decided to take this opportunity to break the black market once.

This will make it much easier to dominate the black market in the future.

* * *

Choi Dae-gil looked at Kang Ha-jin with strange eyes that were a mixture of curiosity and fear, expectation and anger.

“How did you know I was here?”

“A coincidence.”

Hajin Kang replied indifferently. That appearance aroused even greater fear in Choi Dae-gil.

As if to say that looking for you is nothing. And it actually seemed like that.

While watching Choi Dae-gil’s blazing eyes, Ha-jin Kang hit the player.

“The gift you sent was well received.”

He knew that the gift was a shadow, Choi Young-jin, but Choi Dae-gil pretended not to know.

“Gift? I’ve never sent anything like that, but if there’s a gift you’d like to receive, please let me know in advance. I will try to save you as much as possible.”

Hajin Kang laughed.

“As a reward, I prepared a present for you. Would you like to take it?”

Max Gil’s expression hardened.

“Are you threatening me now?”

Hajin Kang made a bewildered expression.

“I didn’t know that preparing a present would be a threat.”

At that time, the maximum road was apocalyptic. In fact, it was a rudimentary mistake that I would never normally make.

However, because of Ha-jin Kang, I was so embarrassed and felt pressure, so I did it.

Isn’t that the only way to admit that you sent a shadow?

Ha-jin Kang smiled and took one of her beads from her arms.

“Can I get an appraiser? It’s a very interesting thing to check out.”
