...

Meanwhile, the White Tiger Guild, which was tracking down the villains, was going through terrible difficulties.

"Vice President, the traces of the villains have been lost again."

"...Is that so."

Baek Mi-ho frowned at the guild member's report.

There were particularly dense forests and mountains around Jisan Prison located in Pocheon City.

So, the White Tiger Guild has been closely tracking all the predictable movement routes of villains in Bojangsan Mountain, Bulmusan Mountain, and Eunjangsan Mountain along the Hantangang River for two days already.

But the result was always the same.

"Teams B and C also contacted us saying they missed the trace."

"..."I see."

Nodding his head, Baek Mi-ho scanned the sunny, sun-drenched ridge with a mixed gaze.

Whiing-

A cool wind blew through the mountain ridge.

In a dense forest.

It was a perfect environment for villains to hide, but they were nowhere to be found.

"...."

Baek Mi-ho put together in his head all the clues he had found out so far.

'At some point, the villains who escaped from Jisan Prison dispersed.'

At first, when I saw the traces, I considered the possibility that the villains were divided due to a conflict of opinion at the same time as the prison escape.

In reality, that was the most likely possibility.

In the first place, they were united for one purpose: to escape from prison.

Hwang Dong-seok, the leader, was only a C-level villain, so Hwang Dong-seok's leadership could not have been maintained by the villains forever.

'But those scattered traces disappeared? And that too, without even one person left?'

Is this a coincidence?

'No way.'

A special purpose was felt in the villains' actions.

In the end, the purpose could not help but come down to one conclusion.

"...No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's divided. "It seems like they dispersed and promised to gather again in a specific area."

The guild member nodded with a heavy expression at Baek Mi-ho's words.

"I think so too. It's hard to believe, but it seems like all 500 people are moving with one purpose. I don't know what the purpose is, but the probability is high... ...."

"Hwang Dong-su, I guess."

"...."

The guild members were silent at Baek Mi-ho's words.

He had no choice but to hold back his words.

If an S-class villain had been involved, this would not have been normal.

Baek Mi-ho sighed softly and continued.

"In the end, the possibility that Hwang Dong-soo was involved in this incident is increasingly increasing."

"I heard that you received information from Hunter Seong Su-ho that the probability of that happening is low."

"Yes, I heard that."

Baek Mi-ho muttered, recalling the information given to her by Su-ho.

"Brothers Hwang Dong-seok and Hwang Dong-soo are not close to each other."

This was information that Su-ho learned as soon as he met Kang Tae-sik, and in return, Baek Mi-ho shared with Su-ho all the routes that the Baekho guild is currently searching. freew(e)bnovel.com

Thanks to that information, Suho began tracking the remaining areas, with Gray at the head.

As agreed in advance, they were cooperating and sharing information.

Baek Mi-ho was greatly relieved after hearing the information Su-ho gave her.

The value of the information was so significant that Kang Tae-sik, a professional bounty hunter, only told it specifically to Su-ho.

In the first place, the most representative reason why other hunters were concerned about this mass escape was the possibility that Hwang Dong-su was involved.

"Maybe that information is wrong. No, rather than saying it's wrong, no matter how conflicted we may be, from my younger brother's perspective, I probably wouldn't want my older brother to die."

"Blood is thicker than water..."Is that so?"

Baek Mi-ho's expression became confused at the guild member's words.

The most unwanted thing was gradually becoming a reality.

The power of an S-class awakened person is truly a natural disaster.

Hwang Dong-su could never handle it with just the power of the Baekho Guild currently deployed.

'Of course, if you do your best, you can cause at least some damage, but....'

Instead, they will have to risk their lives.

Perhaps even annihilation had to be prepared.

'After all, the only thing that can deal with an S-class is the same S-class.'

After organizing his thoughts, Baek Mi-ho finally made a decision.

"As expected, I have to ask my father, or rather the boss, for support."

"yes! "We will contact you right away!"

As soon as Baek Mi-ho finished speaking, a guild member immediately contacted the president's office.

And after a while, the answer came back.

"The boss also said he would rush to Pocheon as soon as possible!"

Baek Mi-ho breathed a sigh of relief at those words.

The reason Baek Yun-ho, the president of the Baekho Guild, did not step forward in this situation from the beginning was extremely simple.

Because I'm busy.

This was not simply a question of ransom.

The very few S-class hunters were running around frantically at this very moment, taking on the most dangerous places among the country's dungeons.

So, like now, all matters that required legwork were handled by Baek Mi-ho, the vice president.

That was the most efficient, and it was also the most effective way to protect the safety of citizens from dungeons and demonic beasts.

but.

'Now I've sold all my feet.'

The work they had done so far was not in vain.

After all those areas were removed using the elimination method, there were only a few areas left.

And one of them is right over there.

'Yamiri.'

At that moment, Baek Mi-ho was leading the guild members to a small village in Pocheon City that had not been searched until now.

Then, Baek Mi-ho suddenly remembered.

'Oh, now that I think about it, this is the direction that Hunter Seong Su-ho said he would search.'

In that case, Hunter Seong Su-ho would probably have passed by that village as well.

Considering that no contact had been made yet, there was a high possibility that no traces had been found in that village either.

Even if you look at it from a distance now, it looks too quiet to say anything happened.

Baek Mi-ho gave an order to the guild members with a bitter smile.

"We will pass through the village as quickly as possible so that the citizens will not be anxious."

And as soon as I stepped into Yamiri Village, the village was as quiet and peaceful as I saw it from the outside.

Should I say that it is like a town on the outskirts?

A quiet atmosphere where you can't even see people walking around on the streets....

Creepy.

"What?"

At that moment, Baek Mi-ho noticed the strange atmosphere of Yamiri Village, and her expression hardened.

And that was the same for the members of the White Tiger Guild, which was made up of beast hunters.

"Vice President! "Something is strange!"

"I didn't feel any signs of people in the village...!"

* * *

And that time.

"White Tiger Guild?"

The White Tiger Guild was also seen in the eyes of Guardian, who was continuing the battle by moving in the direction indicated by Ber to find Harmakan.

At that moment, members of the Baekho guild, led by Baekmiho, were entering Yamiri Village.

Suho, who was approaching the place through a hectic battle, could not help but be embarrassed.

Suddenly, a system message he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

Tiring!

[You cannot leave the dungeon. Defeat the boss or use the hearthstone.]

"hmm? what?"

Suho knocked on the transparent wall blocking his path with a puzzled expression.

Boom, boom!

"Is it a barrier?"

But an even more curious thing happened next.

"Vice President! Something is strange... ...."

"The presence of people in the village... ...."

Slurp.

On the other hand, the White Tiger Guild members who were entering the village were able to walk through the transparent barrier without any problem.

And with that wall as the boundary, their figures disappeared from Suho's sight.

"uh?"

Suho's eyes widened.

It seemed like there was a different space between here and beyond, bordered by this invisible wall.

As Suho tried to force himself to leave, he received another message.

Tiring.

[You cannot leave the dungeon. Defeat the boss or use the hearthstone.]

Ber, aware of the situation, touched the transparent wall with a serious expression.

[This can't be right....]

"Do you know anything?"

[It looks like we are now in an instance dungeon.]

"Instance dungeon?"

Suho made a puzzled expression.

As far as he knew, there were two types of dungeons.

Normal dungeons and field-type dungeons entered through gates.

But what about instance dungeons?

Regardless of whether such a dungeon existed, he had never even set foot in the gate in the first place.

"Did we pass through the gate without us knowing?"

[It's not that kind of problem. In the first place, an instance dungeon is not a dungeon that exists.]

There was another reason why Ber became serious.

[Instance dungeons are dungeons developed by Candiaru, the designer of the level-up system. And the purpose is only....]

It was to help Seong Jin-woo, who was the Shadow Lord's vessel, grow!

Suho's expression hardened at Ber's explanation.

"A dungeon developed by Candiaru? But how did Harmakan create it?"

Meanwhile, Harmakan's huge hand was attacking the guardian trapped in the village.

Crumbling!

Suho dodged the attack and his eyes lit up.

"Well, you'll know if you ask directly."

[yes. It is just around the corner.]

Thanks to Ver, it was Su-ho who discovered the exact location where Harmacan was hiding.

He violently smashed through the wall of the only commercial building that was unharmed despite this natural disaster and entered.

Boom!

[Hey, you guy! How dare you find me!]

Harmakan, who was hiding inside, gritted his teeth and recited a spell.

[But just because you found me doesn't mean you can kill me! Because the spell has already been completed!]

Harma Khan quickly spread his hands and unfolded his magic formation.

Kaaaaaa-!

Numerous ghosts swirled from his hands and attacked Suho.

But Suho was not fooled.

"It's a genjutsu all the way."

As he dodged the ghosts, he stretched out his hand and blew Volkan's horn aside.

'The power of the ruler!'

Chop-chop-chawn!

A dazzling beam of light began to cut through the entire space, creating numerous straight lines.

and.

bang!

[...] ...Pfft.]

...

Something amazing happened.

With a short groan, Volkan's horn stuck in the empty air.

Slurp.

At that moment, the real Harmakan that was hiding there began to slowly reveal itself.

Volkan's horn was pierced in the middle of his bony body.

[Dae, how on earth....]

At that moment, something strange happened.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The moment when Harmacan, the center of this shaman group, was directly attacked.

An invisible wave centered around his body and spread out in all directions.

Tiring.

[Contaminated mana is purified.]

[Contaminated mana is purified.]

The ghosts of the Death Knights that had been contaminated by Harmakan's shamans began to be purified one by one.

But for now, that was probably good for Harmakan.

[This power... ....]

Harmakan was looking down at Volkan's horn that had pierced him with a very embarrassed expression.

The reason he was surprised was not simply because Su-ho was not fooled by the hallucination and found the place where he was hiding.

This was because he noticed that the power contained in Volkan's horn was the 'power of the ruler.'

[How on earth can you use the power of a ruler? ...!]

Harmakan shouted at Suho with an expression filled with astonishment.

Originally, the ruler's power was not simply telekinesis.

That power, as the name suggests, can only be used by rulers... ....

It was a symbol of angels born from light and a unique ability that allowed them to fly in the sky.

Their sky soldiers could fly using wings, but their rulers could fly without wings.

And the ability that made it possible was the 'power of the ruler.'

But how?

How on earth could a mere human being use this power?

[Surely there are fragments of the rulers... ...No, that can't be possible.]

Harmakan, who saw Suho's appearance right before his eyes, was able to make a statement.

It's clear that he's an unusual human, but hasn't he been using the power of a canine lord or a strong-body lord ever since?

A force that is opposite to the rulers.

Then suddenly.

[No, wait.]

Harmacan's eyes soon began to become filled with fear as he realized the incredible truth.

[Seo, no way you....]

Descendants of the Fang Lords?

Descendants of the Lord of the Strong Body?

No, that can't be!

It was impossible to inherit the power of monarchs born in the dark and at the same time use the power of a ruler born in the light.

But there was just one exception.

[You are the Shadow Lord... ...!]

Stand tall.

At those words, Suho, who had been running to defeat the surrounding ghosts and Death Knights and finish off Harmakan, suddenly stopped.

Then he looked a little embarrassed and muttered.

"..."Oh, I got caught."

and.

Sigh. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Suddenly, his eyes looked around at the fallen Death Knights around him.

"Then there's nothing you can do."

[Shadow extraction is possible.]

[Shadow extraction is possible.]

....

Numerous messages float above the shadows of purified Death Knights.

Suho slowly raised the corner of his mouth with a somewhat relieved expression.

"Get up."

Shwaaaaaaaa!

[...] ...?!]

At that moment, numerous shadows surrounding Harmacan began to rise at once.
