Chapter 87: Seoul Southern Gate (3)

Look at that.

How many of these viewers are actually here to watch hunting?

It doesn’t really matter either way.

Maybe, just maybe, I could truly debut as a saintess in this world at this moment.

So, I introduced myself simply.

“I’m the Skull Smasher Saint. I started this because some fool elf suggested it. I’m just going to hunt, so watch if you find it fun, or— no, just watch anyway.”

Yeah, that should be enough.

[This isn’t the mindset of a streamer.]

[Who cares, just look at that sacred chest of hers, so majestic. That’s where dreams and the future lie!]

[How is it so indecent even though it’s covered up?]

[Lol, she’s really standing her ground.]

This is starting to get annoying.

“Anyway, if you’re going to watch, watch. If not, don’t. There are only two choices. I’m just here to hunt. This is the Seoul South Gate.”

With that, I put the phone down.

Obviously, my goal isn’t to become a streamer.

It’s to destroy the hunter society.

I’m starting with conquering the Seoul South Gate.

This is essentially a warning to the hunters.

[….? Wait, what’s going on?]

[Isn’t the Seoul South Gate supposed to be a joint operation?]

[Oh, the saintess is a civilian, huh?]

[Lol, look behind her. There are tons of monsters.]

[Look at those massive monsters!]

Yeah, the number of monsters here is no joke.

This is really a battle of numbers.

The quality of the monsters seems pretty good too.

But what’s certain is that you can’t ignore their sheer numbers.

They’re just everywhere.

— Since you’re already streaming, how about making it a bit more fun? Holy Crash is kind of plain. And there’s plenty of it.

Hmm, if the goddess says to do it, I have to.

Shall I go with my signature move?

“Alright, here I go! Skull-Crush!”

KRA-BOOOOM!

A righteous light sweeps over the land!

This is the true power of a saintess!

[The whole crowd of monsters just got wiped out.]

[Is she crazy? What kind of damage is that?]

[Boobs! I just saw it. That magnificent bounce!]

[Those breasts are truly something precious.]

These comments are getting pretty rude.

“Screeeeech!”

“Raaaaagh!”

The disgusting undead are swarming in.

“Skull-Crush!”

Once again, the giant light envelops the undead.

It’s pitiful how they get wiped out, but there are even more undead coming from behind.

“Isn’t this way too many?”

“Yeah, it’s like this place is a graveyard where monsters gather after they die.”

Looking around, there’s nothing but piles of bones.

It’s kind of unsettling.

“That’s pretty creepy.”

“So, where do the ones that die here go?”

“Good question.”

What’s certain is that this isn’t a normal dungeon.

Even the crystals these monsters drop are dull and aren’t worth much when sold.

I mean, if we sold all the crystals from this sea of monsters, maybe we’d make something, but each individual crystal is practically worthless.

That’s the nature of undead monsters.

From the perspective of the raid faction, they could probably at least break even if they sold all the crystals.

But how much would the serpent dragon give them?

“By the way, don’t you think these monsters are acting kind of strange?”

“Yeah. Imagine if they charged out of the gate in a massive group. It would be terrifying, right?”

Undead monsters are naturally aggressive, but these ones are more… intense.

It probably has something to do with the serpent dragon.

If these massive numbers break through, it’ll be like an all-out war.

“Can they really get out of here?”

“Yes.”

Monsters can come out of the gate, after all.

I searched and found out that gates can sometimes appear in residential areas.

Nowadays, most cities have devices to prevent such invasions, but higher-level gates are different.

This gate that appeared on the outskirts of southern Seoul has enough monsters inside to flood into

Seoul without running out.

There’s no guarantee they won’t pour out today or tomorrow.

“If this many monsters flood into Seoul…”

“It would be chaos. There are many skilled hunters in Korea, so they’d eventually stop them, but Seoul would probably be beyond recovery.”

At this scale, a flood like this would be nearly impossible to handle.

Even with an army, the sheer number here is overwhelming.

The national military has long since declined with the rise of hunters, and their size has shrunk.

These undead are at least stronger than regular undead, and their terrifying appearance would make it hard for ordinary people to face them.

“Exactly. Civilians wouldn’t stand a chance against this many. They’d probably all be massacred.”

Even if a few were lucky enough to escape, the number would be small, and even the strongest hunters would struggle to deal with undead scattered like spiderlings everywhere.

Honestly, we might have to move the capital to Busan.

“Seoul’s southern area is perfectly positioned for a gate invasion. Maybe…”

The location is suspiciously good.

Seoul’s current structure is completely different from before the great upheaval.

Southern Seoul still has ruins, and it’s the only area where a gate invasion could happen.

It’s possible that the government or the management agency intentionally allowed a gate to form here, but this is serious.

It’s almost like the serpent dragon targeted this place.

“The serpent dragon targeted this place?”

I nodded at the young girl’s question.

“Yeah, it’s just a theory, but if you think about it, anyone with a brain would consider that.”

Anyone can see this situation is dangerous.

No matter how you look at it, we should have called for reinforcements.

It’s fine because it’s me, but…

Well, anyway, it’s probably better we attacked first.

Since the monsters haven’t invaded Seoul yet, we can deal with them all here.

[…..? Wait, so they could have gotten out?]

[Isn’t that just the saintess’s theory?]

[She admitted it’s a theory, but it seems possible.]

[Are the hunters seriously fighting over profits instead of working together?]

[Lol, would you trust a big-boobed chick babbling nonsense?]

[Lmao, that guy must be a hunter.]

[That “big-boobed chick” is wiping out everything by herself. Could you stop them if they flood into Seoul? Lol, shut up unless you can do better.]

[But seriously, even in this situation, her chest is still bouncing!]

RUMBLE

I wiped out another wave, and now things are clearing up a bit.

The terrain is wrecked, so it might be time for the elf to step in.

“Pixie, could you see them with your map hack earlier?”

“I didn’t see many.”

“They’re undead. They often stay buried underground until they rise up.”

“That’s gross.”

Undead are ambush specialists, but who would’ve expected it to be this bad?

Undead rising from all directions.

I’m handling them now, but a regular hunter would’ve been dead by now.

There’s a limit to what I can do, but most hunters would probably die here.

“Elf, can you use Sylph?”

“Yeah, I think I can.”

For now, I left things to the elf for a while.

“Oh, looks like there are some hunters in the chat. A few of them seem pretty rude. This is my first stream, and I’m not managing it, so I can’t ban people, but it’s honestly embarrassing to see.”

It’s really too embarrassing.

[Lmao, stop acting up in the saintess’s stream, hunters.]

[Kanora Church! Kanora Church! Kanora Church!]

[I wish the arrogant hunters who treat people like garbage would just die.]

A lot of the messages are bashing the rude hunters.

“Huh?”

The chat is suddenly flooded with “Kanora Church” messages.

Wait a minute.

The people spamming Kanora Church…

[Heavenly King Taeyeon]

This woman suddenly showed up here.

No need to stop her, though.

In fact, she’s doing a great job as Kanora Church’s ambassador.

Seems like she’s a bit disappointed we haven’t met yet.

It’s not so bad if they’re promoting it this enthusiastically.

The chat was quickly flooded with praises for Kanora Church.

“Wow, isn’t this like a cult?”

“Yeah, it seems that way to me too.”

Anyway, it’s clear the hunters are pissed off.

In that case, we should work even harder to get back at them.

If only we had an agitator here, that would be perfect.

“Wait a minute. There’s someone with the nickname [Wave of Freedom] in the chat?”

Hmm.

Wave of Freedom.

Isn’t that clearly him?

The leader of the agitators.

No need to mention it on stream, though.

“This is perfect.”

Half the chat was praising Kanora Church, some were praising my chest or my strength, and the rest were either cursing at hunters or hunters cursing at me.

One thing’s for sure: what I’m doing is definitely working.

Screeeech!

“Oh, here they come again. Look at that. Don’t they swarm like an army?”

I said that to the stream as I swung my mace with full force.

With every swing, the enemies were swept away like a tidal wave.

Now, how will the hunters react?

I’m curious.

Guild Alliance Headquarters

While the saintess was hard at work breaking through the southern gate, just as she intended, chaos broke out at the Guild Alliance Headquarters.

The guild masters had been urgently gathered.

“What the hell is going on? Wasn’t the saintess in the Tower of Destruction?”

“How should I know? Damn it.”

Everyone was swearing under their breath.

In the midst of this, Yoo Ji-ho from the Tyrant Guild chuckled bitterly.

“To think that saintess would target the southern gate.”

Yoo Ji-ho’s eyes were fixed on the hologram screen in front of him.

The screen was showing a broadcast on a streaming platform. The title was “The Saintess Smashing Skulls Live.”

Just watching it sent shivers down his spine.

Seeing that woman, who could make someone disappear without a trace, smiling so brightly while wiping out enemies was chilling.

Nothing good ever comes from getting involved with her.

That southern gate is pretty much off-limits now, too.

“The bigger issue is what’s happening on the screen.”

A woman with glasses pointed at the screen.

RUMBLE

[“There, did you see that? Just like this~”]

The scene of the saintess casually saying, “Just like this,” while demonstrating her power was quite impressive.

The screen was half-filled with her chest and the blinding light.

Can that even be called a human chest?

There might be others with a similar size, but hers was exceptionally well-shaped.

Some of the men sitting down nodded their heads in agreement.

That volume was undeniably impressive.

But seriously, what are we supposed to do about it?

Are we supposed to compare our own chests to hers?

Then, one man with disheveled hair finally spoke up.

“So, her chest and that light. What else are we supposed to focus on?”

“You perverted idiot. They say you only see what’s on your mind.”

The woman shot the man a disgusted look.

It’s not like it’s his fault.

What are they supposed to do with the overwhelming sight of bouncing breasts and blinding light?
