It’s been a week since the battle with Kim Je-hoon and Yang Ji-hoo in the dungeon .
In that time the world kept moving as normal without any major changes .
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, cobalt prices spiked rapidly due to the appearance of monsters and in France the casualties caused by terrorist players were on the rise .
However situations like these were no longer uncommon in the world .
“The world has been quiet these few days . ”
Lee Jin-ah ran his mouth while lounging in Oh Se-chan’s office during lunch .
Oh Se-chan looked at him with a cold gaze .
Seeing this, Lee Jin-ah only smiled .
“What did I do wrong?”
Lee Jin-ah looked at the small pot filled with ramen that was between him and Oh Se-chan .
“You’re not looking at me like that because I ate your ramen right?”
His connection crumpled as he said that .
“Damn I didn’t even eat any high-quality snacks . ”
In the face of his fierce protest, Oh Se-chan made a face at him .
“Hey, do you really think I’m looking at you like this cause of ramen?”
Lee Jin-ah hesitated a little…
“Yes . ”
“You drive me crazy . ”
“Is that not it?”
Oh Se-chan answered in an annoyed voice .
“No, it’s not . ”
“Damn, then that’s good . ”
“But that’s not all . ”
Oh Se-chan tapped his head .
“In your eyes, the world is peaceful and beautiful, but to me, it is the complete opposite . ”
“What’s going on?”
“I discarded Kim Je-hoon . ”
“Yes?”
It was an unexpected response .
Lee Jin-ah also knew what Kim Je-hoon was worth at this point .
“What does that mean?”
He couldn’t help asking .
“A shark took the bait I threw to catch a fish, what else could I do? I had to cut the fishing line quickly . ”
Oh Se-chan’s face was firm and serious .
“We don’t have much time . Two years, three years at least . From then, unless we have the strength to contain them, they will actively show their ambitions . And the moment they show their ambitions, it’s virtually game over . No…the game won’t end if they show their ambition . ”
(TL: I feel like that last part didn’t make much sense…but that’s what the author said…)
Lee Jin-ah’s expression also hardened when he heard that .
Oh Se-chan looked at him and said .
“So when you hunt the Horned Fox . The plans for the future will be completely different, depending on what happens . ”
“Trust me . Who am I?”
“A hungry bastard . ”
“Ah, really! Brother!! I need to stockpile energy to fight well!”
“You’re like a dog, but there’s two things you can do . ”
Ignoring him, Oh Se-chan raised two fingers .
“One, is to support Kim Woo-jin as best as you can . The other hand, you need to properly verify Kim Woo-jin’s ability . ”
“You want me to check his ability?”
“That’s right . ”
“But you know already, don’t you?”
In return Oh Se-chan shook his head .
“No, in my opinion, Kim Woo-jin hasn’t even revealed half of his abilities . ”
“…yeah?”
Oh Se-chan continued to stare at the surprised Lee Jin-ah .
“And in the Horned Fox Hunt, Kim Woo-jin will probably reveal 100% . He’s going to have a real exercise . ”
After saying this much, Oh Se-chan sank into his thoughts .
‘Now it’s not time for me to be laid back anymore . Now…it’s time to go all in . ’
Oh Se-chan thought of Kim Woo-jin .
‘I have to make Isaac Ivanov the equivalent of the Messiah Guild somehow . ’
Thinking this, Oh Se-chan smiled bitterly .
‘I’m sorry Kim Woo-jin . But I need you to be a sacrifice to stop the Messiah Guild . ’
He let out a bitter laugh, filled with his guilt .
‘I’m sorry, but I need all the help I can get . ’
…
Kim Woo-jin’s bloody and wounded body looked clean compared to the corpse of the Horned Fox at his feet . In front of him, a woman with golden armor appeared .
“Are you Kim Woo-jin? I heard rumors about you but the real thing is even better than the rumors . What do you think? Would you like to join the Messiah Guild?”
The Messiah Guild had offered him a position .
Kim Woo-jin replied calmly .
“I want to talk to the leader directly, not some small management . ”
Bring the leader of the Messiah Guild…of course it was a clear rejection .
At that time Kim Woo-jin didn’t think that he and the Messiah Guild would ever get along .
But he didn’t expect them to agree .
When the next proposal was brought, Lee Se-jun came to meet him personally and recruited him .
“Kim Woo-jin, the world needs more hunters like you . ”
That was a memory .
(TL: hehehe bet all of you freaked out for a few seconds…GG author…GG)
Woowoonga!
Kim Woo-jin’s cell phone vibrated as he received a text message and he opened his eyes to check .
[Date confirmed, June 7th . ]
Kim Woo-jin closed his eyes once again after reading it .
Woowoonga!
Then another text arrived .
[You must exercise your skills properly . ]
When he saw the text, Kim Woo-jin’s facial expression didn’t change . Instead he looked at what was in front of him .
An armor made completely from Needle Snake Skin, it’s shape seeming as if it wouldn’t fit him .
This armor was Kim Woo-jin’s answer instead .
He was ready to show off his skills .
