Episode 195.
The dungeon gate that filled the sky above Seoul.
The sky over Seoul was like the sky of the end of the world.
The demons pouring out from within turned all of Seoul into a battlefield.
This desperate situation was taking place in the Seoul area.
But its ripple effect was not limited to Seoul.
A single post on the community.
At first it didn’t get much attention.
└
└
└
It was ignored and buried as just a provocative article.
However, related posts continued to appear.
Real-time videos are being uploaded here and there.
Soon, the news began to cover the incident as breaking news.
└

Only then did people begin to realize the gravity of the situation.
It wasn’t something like a movie or a comic book.
This is actually happening in real life.
Ferocious monsters rained down from the sky, slaughtering people indiscriminately.
The capital of Korea was devastated in an instant.
Demon world invasion.
Things I had only ever seen in history books were unfolding before my eyes.
└: Shouldn’t we run away too?
└: But where to…?
There was nowhere to run.
It was just Seoul now.
Before long, the monsters will spread throughout South Korea.
People’s hearts were filled with despair.
“Really… When I think about that time… .”
YBN reporter Jeong Min-ji shivered in shock.
Whenever I think back to that time when we were broadcasting the situation in Seoul across the country via a broadcast helicopter, it was always like this.
Of course, people around me tried to stop me.
But as a journalist, you have a responsibility to report the situation to the whole country.
And as soon as she faced the situation in Seoul, Jeong Min-ji immediately regretted it.
A spectacle of slaughter,
Even the sight of hell could not be more gruesome than this.
“Ugh… .”
Jeong Min-ji’s hands still tremble whenever she recalls that incident.
Maybe that’s why.
When the sun’s brilliance shone through the pitch-black sky.
When the camera captured Siwoo coming out of the dungeon.
When the red shadow appeared, I despaired once again.
When I looked at Siwoo, who was facing that red shadow.
“If Hunter Maeng Si-woo hadn’t been there….”
Jeong Min-ji had no choice but to become a fan of Si-woo and a member of the Ttukbaegi group.
So now.
Far away, Siwoo’s figure reflected beyond the hospital room window.
The job of a journalist is to inform people of the truth with objective facts.
It was a rule that personal feelings should not be included in articles written.
however.
“YBN reporter, this is reporter Jeong Min-ji! Please just say that you love me!!”
Jeong Min-ji decided to cover the story today as a fan of Ttukbaegi-dan rather than a reporter.

The Seoul Disaster.
A major incident that turned the entire Republic of Korea upside down.
The disaster in Seoul was over, but its aftermath continued to grow in size.
└
└
└
Of course, various Internet communities.
『
『
All media outlets in Korea, including various YouTube channels.
They were all full of stories about Siwoo.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire country of Korea was completely turned upside down.
Originally, it was something that happened in Korea.
It was only to the extent of causing an uproar within Korea.
This is nothing more than the so-called nationalistic pride.
But this time it was different.
The situation in Seoul was reported as a topic in various overseas news articles.
As a result, the name Siwoo spread throughout the world.
So, the UN headquarters building located in New York.
“Secretary General Maverick.”
UN Secretary-General, Maverick.
A man followed Maverick’s side with a low voice.
Maverick looked at the man following him without stopping his walking.
and.
“They say a red shadow has appeared in Korea.”
Stop.
Maverick stopped in his tracks.
Maverick was silent for a moment.
After some time passed.
“…What happened to Korea?”
Maverick asked, chewing his lip.
If the red shadow had moved, it was obvious what the result would have been.
There must have been countless sacrifices.
The man stealthily handed Maverick a few documents.
The Seoul Disaster.
Even the name written on the document was unusual.
Maverick pondered Seoul’s meaning for a moment.
And soon I could remember that Seoul was the capital of Korea.
This means that.
The red shadow must be the disaster that has been brought to Korea.
Maverick read the contents of the document with a stern expression.
“The victims… are insignificant?”
However, despite the name of the disaster, the number of casualties was extremely small.
The number written on the documents is approximately 3,200.
And most of them were nothing more than injured people.
The death toll was virtually non-existent.
No, at this point, it would be safe to say that it didn’t exist at all.
“Fortunately, they say there weren’t that many casualties.”
“……?”
Maverick tilted his head without realizing it.
“It is said that the red shadow also withdrew without achieving its purpose.”
“…what?”
Maverick couldn’t understand it at all.
Does this make sense?
“The downtown area of Seoul was destroyed and the economic damage was considerable, but the damage to people is said to be extremely minimal.”
“How could that be….”
Maverick was absolutely incredulous.
I thought he wasn’t joking, but lying.
The ruler of Pandemonium, the Red Shadow.
Wherever he passes, even his shadow turns red with blood.
At least tens of thousands, average hundreds of thousands.
Wherever the name of the Red Shadow was heard, the population of a city was sacrificed.
But now… .
“They say that the Sword Master has made the red shadow retreat.”
“Your Majesty the Inspector?”
“That’s right.”
Only then was Maverick able to nod.
If the prosecutor had come forward, it could have been done.
“But, didn’t you, the Sword Master, turn your back on the world?”
“I guess he just couldn’t stand to watch the red shadow. And in fact… .”
The man paused for a moment and then continued.
“They say that it wasn’t you, Sword Master, who first stopped the red shadow.”
“what?”
Maverick wondered what this was all about.
Wasn’t it Geomseon who first stopped the red shadow?
“What does that mean?”
Maverick could never believe this.
It was equally absurd to try to block the red shadow.
The strength of the red shadow is on par with that of the 13 heroes.
No, the red shadows were the 13 heroes.
Although it was unknown to the world, Maverick knew the truth.
That’s why there are only a few beings that can stop the red shadow.
The same 13 heroes.
So it is understandable that the sword line blocked the red shadow.
But now what….
“It is said that a Korean hunter named Maeng Si-woo stopped the red shadow.”
“Maeng Si-woo…?”
Maverick repeated the name softly.
It was a name that was difficult even to pronounce.
And it was a name I was hearing for the first time.
“It is also said that the Sword Master has officially recognized this hunter named Maeng Si-woo as an S+ rank.”
“What, what?!”
Maverick wondered what the hell he was talking about.
It wasn’t just the UN.
World Hunters Association, located in Geneva.
“Chairman, I heard that an S+ class hunter has been born in Korea.”
Atticus wondered how he should understand this report.
Atticus, President of the World Hunters Association.
“Who gave me the title of S+-rank Hunter?”
Who on earth asked for permission to give me an S+ rank hunter?
And that too in a small country like Korea.
Since the concept of Hunter was created, there has been no S+-rank Hunter.
First of all, Atticus himself was not an S+ class hunter.
Even the President of the World Hunters Association wasn’t an S+-rank hunter.
But a hunter from a small country is S+ rank?
This was truly arrogant.
Atticus felt angry without realizing it.
but.
“That… is said to have been personally approved by the Inspector General.”
“…Your Majesty the Swordsman?”
The anger that had been building up at the report I heard suddenly subsided.
Korea was definitely a small country.
However, the name Sword Immortal was not like that.
Even Atticus is nothing before the Sword Immortal.
The World Hunter Association was literally the World Hunter Association.
An organization representing hunters around the world.
Being the president of that organization had tremendous power.
Without exaggeration, he was able to exert more influence than most presidents of other countries.
But not in front of the Sword Immortal.
It was no better than a firefly in the moonlight.
Where would the President of the World Hunters Association be compared to 13 heroes?
Are you saying that you are spiting on something that the 13 heroes have acknowledged?
Maybe that’s why.
“……”
Atticus wondered how he should take this.
The UN and even the World Hunters Association.
The whole world is paying attention to the name Siwoo.
Men’s restroom at SH Hospital.
[Why, it seems like Siwoo is more popular than me.]
“ha….”
Siwoo was crouching on the toilet stall, sighing at Adonis’ words.
And the reason Siwoo was squatting in the toilet was simple.
[I don’t know if this metaphor is right, but… when I saw the people rushing towards Siwoo, it felt like I was seeing Aphrodite and Persephone.]
Because wherever I went, people followed me.
Seriously, ‘wherever I went’ people followed me.
How do you find it so accurately in this large SH Hospital?
When I tried to talk to Adonis, people would rush over.
And then, they thrust a camera and microphone into me and started making strange demands, saying things like, “Please break the pot just once!” and “Please tell me you love me!”
So Siwoo went around avoiding people here and there and finally ended up here.
I was squatting in a corner toilet stall in the men’s room.
“ha….”
The smell of the bathroom hit my nose along with the sigh I let out.
SH Hospital is known as the best in Korea.
However, SH Hospital could not be free from this ‘Seoul disaster’ incident.
The ward itself suffered no major damage.
These days, buildings are built to withstand dungeon breaks.
And as befitting the best in the Republic of Korea, its defense was also top-notch.
Above all, hospitals are the top priority protection area.
Thanks to the protection of the guards, there was no major damage.
But right now, the place where Siwoo is is the park bathroom located inside SH Hospital.
The broken toilets here and there have not yet been properly repaired.
“I think I understand Adonis’ feelings a little bit.”
[ha ha ha.]
Adonis laughed out loud at Siwoo’s not-so-joke joke.
The smiling Adonis was truly a fearsome beauty.
I wondered if it was right to attach the adjective “terrifying” to beauty.
But has the body that was exhausted during that time recovered?
Adonis, who had gained some weight, was truly terrifying.
Siwoo looked blankly at Adonis and asked.
“How have you been? Are you running a GodTube channel?”
[No, it is still being prepared.]
“When you say preparation, have you decided what kind of concept you will run for the channel?”
[Yes, it is.]
Adonis nodded slightly and said.
[I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m thinking about going into acting. So I’m in contact with Shakespeare, who Siwoo recommended.]
It wasn’t a bad choice.
No, I would say it was a really good choice.
[I think I’ll shoot a video soon, and when I do, I’ll show it to Siwoo first.]
Adonis’ expression as he spoke was full of excitement.
And Siwoo was also something to look forward to.
Adonis’ beauty and Shakespeare’s script.
‘Are you crazy?’
How can this not be expected?
[And what you asked me last time. A way to go to the dimension where Siwoo is.]
Finally, Adonis’ voice was heard.
[I have found out something about him.]
Siwoo’s eyes sparkled.
“That means….”
Siwoo cleared his throat once and continued speaking.
“Are you saying that there is a way for a character from GodTube to come to where I am?”
[Yes. They say there is a way to go to Siwoo’s dimension here.]
“What is that?”
Siwoo asked Adonis with a nervous expression.
And then beyond the screen.
[They say you just have to give up your divinity.]
Adonis opened his mouth slowly.
