by adminThere were signs of an abnormal phenomenon that had never occurred before in the Amazon world.
That fact was enough to move the governments and hunters of countries that enjoyed peace. The source of the information was none other than the World Hunter Association, and it was even more so thanks to the name value of the person who relayed the fact to the leaders of each country and large guilds.
As a result, even though only one night had passed, the World Hunter Association formed an untimely crowd of people as a countermeasure committee made up of masters from large guilds and people from various countries.
“Is it possible to solve the rapid increase in dungeons within the Demon World?”
“The Demon World itself is a huge dungeon. It’s not for nothing that mankind calls it the Demon World.”
“This is a non-standard incident. This is something so serious that I have never experienced it before.”
After the cataclysm began to be suppressed and humanity began to rebuild civilization, countries around the world that survived the cataclysm recruited or trained experts and created departments to handle dungeon-related issues in their countries.
The group gathered in this way is called a committee, and the person who stands at the top is the committee chairman.
And now, the heads of committees from countries called Naeno were gathered in one place and were having a hard time.
“Recruitment of personnel is a problem. It’s much more arduous and dangerous work than a typical dungeon, but would any hunter volunteer?”
“Resources need to be lured away with some kind of attractive reward. Aren’t large guilds very calculating? If there is no proper reward, I will just keep conquering mediocre dungeons.”
“Let alone recruiting more people, I am concerned that I am not confident that the hunters so recruited will successfully complete the mission. As you said, the magic scriptures are still magic scriptures even if they rot.”
There are more than one or two problems.
Although the association’s conference room was unusually full, the countermeasures meeting failed to produce any real results and just kept standing still.
It’s something that can’t be helped. Aside from diplomatic issues and interests between countries, the issue itself was so daunting.
“… Still, I have to do it. Haven’t you all seen the materials distributed by Chairman Aleister?”
“Yes. We have to stop it even if it means some sacrifice.”
The nationalities of the committee chairs gathered here were all different, but none of them discussed the interests of each country or diplomatic issues with other countries.
Not only was it because those gathered in the conference room correctly judged the severity of the incident, but a document that united the opinions of all committee chairs to make that judgment was placed in front of everyone.
I glanced at the document.
‘If the Amazon region floods, it is expected that South America will be completely destroyed and North America will be irreparably damaged.’
Among the dozens of paragraphs that filled several pages of documents, only one sentence contains such content.
The other sentences were not much different.
The report said there would be enormous damage across the Americas and that even other continents would not be spared the impact.
The magic world, which was limited to the jungle called the Amazon, will be transformed into the American magic world, and an entire continent may become a magic world.
‘There is no way the United States will sit still, and if it cannot stop the Amazon, the next will be the devil’s land in Africa and the polar regions.’
Humanity’s territory will fall into the hands of the dungeon in pieces, and society will collapse in chaos.
The worst future that was clearly visible was enough for not only me, but everyone gathered here to clearly picture it.
We have no choice but to attack the deepest part and resolve the source of the expansion of the Demonic Realm.
As I was solidifying my existing thoughts, there was a voice speaking to me.
“… By the way, may I ask what the opinion of Cadet Seong Yu-jin, who recently served as vice president of the association, is?”
My gaze reflexively lifted toward the direction from which the voice came, and the gazes of those around me naturally focused on me.
The owner of the voice that made eye contact with me was looking at me with an extremely serious expression.
He is a middle-aged man whose physical condition has begun to transition to that of an elderly person. His rugged appearance and half-balding hair became the basis for guessing his age.
‘You’re looking at me.’
Even if the discipline of one’s roots has not withstood the ravages of time and has deteriorated, it is a spirit that must be properly maintained at least as well as the discipline of public affairs.
He is not an official of a large guild, nor is he an official of a national organization who has made a name for himself.
A new cadet at Eden and the top student chosen by Othinus.
He proved his skills and qualifications by winning the previous sports competition, but just as military officers and civil servants do not understand each other because they have different fields, so did they.
‘It must have been annoying to see a kid who just turned 20 sitting there while he was the vice president.’
If it had been before, I would have been careful to accommodate their sentiments and weigh the pros and cons of the benefits I could gain.
But now there is no need to bow down like that anymore.
So, I spoke to the committee chairs and masters of large guilds from each country who looked after me.
“I think it is right to suppress the outskirts of the Demon World with the cooperation of guilds with surplus capacity, while attacking the dangerous dungeons within the Demon World one by one with a small number of elites.”
In any case, whatever they discuss here will only end up as idle talk.
It is impossible to even imagine that this incident, in which Ma Kyung began to grow in power, was intentionally caused by someone, and therefore, of course, it is impossible to guess the forces behind it.
Therefore, a small, elite attack force is the best method.
Hunters belonging to the guild continue to attack dungeons on the outskirts of the Demon World, and the raiding party takes advantage of this opportunity to enter the heart of the Demon World.
‘After entering the core, I have no choice but to avoid the gaze of the raiding party and deal with the Apostle of the Apocalypse and his monsters.’
When the dungeon owner dies, the dungeon gradually weakens. This is because the dungeon owner is the heart of the dungeon.
And now, the monsters created by the Apostle of the Apocalypse to expand the Amazon Demon World would have been in a similar state to the dungeon lords who receive assistance from the dungeon.
A monster that receives assistance from the Demon World and uses its power to take the lead in expanding the Demon World.
In other words, the gigantic natural dungeon that was created in the aftermath of the massive dungeon collapse gained a real core that would not have been there originally.
‘Equivalent exchange is a simple principle.’
A small number of express gates and tens or hundreds of first and second level gates. From level 3 and below, counting the number is meaningless.
A swarm of locusts during the harvest season is just a disaster that needs to be eradicated, and it is as if their number is not counted.
An absurd number of dungeon gates collapse arbitrarily, spilling out the monsters and magical power inside the dungeon, and the land where enormous magical energy accumulates and permeates is the Amazon Demon World.
Since there is no core, it is a place that can only be solved by attacking the dungeon inside and removing the magic power.
A nucleus was created in such a magical world.
A monster that became the core of the Demonic World. If I were to summarize the name, would it be Demon Lord?
‘Even the sudden increase in dungeons is ultimately for the magic power that the Demon Race Lord uses to expand the Demon Race.’
In other words, if we can somehow deal with the demonic race, we can have a chance of resolving the demonic race.
Most of the magic power of the Demon Lord will be gathered into the Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord dies, the Demon Lord weakens rapidly.
As long as dungeons are constantly being created, the Demon World will be able to be rebuilt again, but what if hunters take advantage of the weakened opportunity to come in and attack all the dungeons?
Since the gate does not collapse, magical energy cannot be used.
‘This is a golden opportunity to bring the Amazon rainforest back into human hands.’
However, the people gathered here from all over the world seemed to have different opinions and dismissed my opinion as nonsense.
“It looks like you still lack experience. The magic world is different from regular dungeons and hunter work.”
“Your skills are outstanding, but it is inevitable that you have some shortcomings. Since we have a great chairman, he will be able to become a great vice president in the future.”
Those who thought it was nonsense and those who would not recognize me as vice president spoke out their own words.
I gritted my teeth at that sight. The expression became cold, and magic power corresponding to the emotions slowly bloomed.
It’s like this again. If I could hold them responsible for the collapse of the previous timeline given to them by the voice, I would point to them as those responsible.
If the people who define all the dungeons in the world with just a few papers and a few words from their subordinates hadn’t just made idle talk, there would have been room to change the previous timeline.
Sigh-.
When I looked at Aleister, he smiled, closed his eyes, and nodded.
Permission was also obtained. We have been given a justification to exercise the authority to criticize the ignorant and ignorant figures from each country who are sitting here.
The masters of the large guilds who were present were all looking at the committee chairs with disapproval.
This is because I have been seeing them for a long time and am deeply aware of their negative effects.
It’s the same as “.”
With that one word, the atmosphere in the audience became cold.
The voice was so cold and sharp that even I was surprised for a moment.
The committee chairs from each country, who were continuing to shovel with their mouths as if they had never done anything, and the guild masters who were watching with dumbfounded expressions, all froze while looking at me.
“Lack of experience? Is there still a lot to learn to take the position of vice president?”
There is anger in the voice, and an eerie magical energy fills the conference room.
The air became heavy, and not only the atmosphere but also an intangible pressure began to weigh down the people in the room.
The gap widened from the overwhelming difference in horsepower. He glared at the committee chairmen, who were drooling and their expressions were wrinkled, and scolded them.
“Looking at you guys, I understand why you haven’t been able to solve even a single demonic problem until now, even though there is absolutely no shortage of excellent hunters around the world.”
Even the Australian Demon World, the only Demon World that was captured and disappeared, disappeared when Othinus attacked the special gate at the center of it in the early stages of the formation of the Devil World.
It is said that the hunter system maintained by the committee has not been able to overcome the devil since the special gate was attacked by hunters who were not restrained by the committee’s power.
“Committee heads from each country should leave. This is not the place to discuss important issues based on the meager knowledge of a few words.”
The order to celebrate guests was issued.
