Episode 187.
The brilliance of the setting sun.
Disappearing dungeon gates.
The phenomenon was unfolding all over Seoul.
“Huh…? Why is the sunlight suddenly…?”
“Everyone, everyone, look at the sky!”
Everyone in Seoul looked up at the sky.
And then the sun appears, shining brightly.
And as I watched the dungeon gate slowly disappear.
“The gate is disappearing!”
“We, we survived! We survived!!”
Waaaa …
Everyone burst into cheers of joy.
The cheers of joy that burst forth spread without end.
There was no place where cheers were not heard.
Cheers filled all of Seoul.
“What all of a sudden…?
The Hunter Management Association’s president, Geumcheon Gyu, couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
It wasn’t just Geumcheon Gyu.
“What, what is it… .”
“The gate suddenly disappeared?”
“What is this?”
Lee Ha-rin, Lee Si-yoon, and Yoo Han-na.
Even the S-class hunters were confused by the pouring sunlight.
“What is your name…?”
And even Maotao’s Zhang Wei.
Everyone was confused by the disappearing dungeon gate.
“Oh, this can’t be happening?”
Because this couldn’t happen.
More precisely, I knew the cause of the dungeon gate that covered the sky over Seoul.
And I knew that the cause was the kind that could never be solved.
And yet, the dungeon gate is disappearing.
This was a clear reality.
That means.
“The dungeon has been cleared…?”
People’s eyes were focused on one place as if they had made a promise.
An S-class gate boasting a gigantic size.
Only then could people see.
“The barrier of the curtain… .
“It disappeared?”
I could see that the curtain of darkness surrounding the gate had disappeared.
“What is this….”
For a moment, I wondered what had happened.
Woof woof woof…!
The gate suddenly began to shake violently.
At the same time, the magical power of the dungeon that stretched out in all directions began to be sucked away.
These S-class hunters knew what that meant.
A phenomenon that occurs when the magic core that makes up the dungeon is destroyed or lost.
“Clear foreboding phenomenon!”
“The dungeon… was really cleared?”
I couldn’t believe it even though I was seeing it with my own two eyes.
Right then.
Bam.
Something jumped out from between the swaying dungeons.
Aigo, flowing black hair.
Two gently closed eyes.
Yet beauty cannot be hidden.
“Han Chae-rin…?”
It was a picture of Han Chae-rin being hugged by someone.
People were puzzled, but they didn’t question it.
Because this S-rank dungeon was a promotion test dungeon assigned to Han Chae-rin.
So it was natural for Han Chae-rin to come out of the dungeon.
The problem was a man who came out carrying the unconscious Han Chae-rin.
“Maeng Si-woo… Hunter?”
Siu.
People couldn’t help but question Siwoo’s existence.
More than anything.
“Hunter Maeng Si-woo’s current status is….”
The current state of Siwoo.
It was truly miserable.
No, I couldn’t even describe it fully with the word ‘miserable’.
Her clothes were completely torn, exposing her upper body.
Because of that, his sculpted muscular body, which had not been visible on the outside, came into view at a glance.
but.
“I, that’s…!”
“Oh my god!”
No one was impressed.
Everyone just covered their mouths and stood in shock.
The upper body was completely exposed, the skin was torn here and there, and blood was seeping out.
His entire body, blackened and charred, looked as if it had been painted with black paint.
No, it’s not.
That wasn’t tanned skin.
Necrosis.
The cells throughout the body had died and turned black.
“Fine…?”
I couldn’t bring myself to ask if it was okay.
Because at first glance, it didn’t look okay.
Is it right to be alive?
I felt I had to ask that.
Shi-woo looked like a dead person moving, making it believable.
“Chaerin was badly injured.”
In an instant, Siwoo spoke.
Only then did people realize that Siwoo was not dead.
Siwoo gently placed Han Chae-rin, who he was holding, down on the floor.
Siwoo said while pressing various parts of Han Chae-rin’s body with two fingers.
“Does anyone have something like a thin needle?”
People were left speechless at Siwoo’s words.
Who is taking care of whom now?
It was Si-woo, not Han Chae-rin, who needed treatment right away.
However, Siwoo was only concerned about Han Chae-rin’s condition.
Could it be because of Siwoo’s appearance?
“You really… .”
“Should I say it’s amazing? What should I say?”
I felt relieved for some reason, even though I had nothing to say.
I don’t know the details, but it’s over.
The dungeon has been cleared.
With this, the dungeon gates that covered the skies over Seoul also disappeared.
Of course, there were still monsters left.
But it wasn’t a big threat.
Only then could people breathe a sigh of relief.
“Isn’t there anyone who has even a thin iron skewer?”
Siwoo’s question was heard again.
“My sword is thin, but… this is not what you want.”
Iharin showed me the sword she was holding.
And as expected, Siwoo shook his head.
“Is a needle okay?”
And then Yoo Han-na’s question followed.
“If it’s something like a needle, the medical support team in the back will have it.”
“It’s okay as long as it’s not too thick.”
“Then I will bring it quickly.”
At Siwoo’s answer, Yoo Han-na started walking hurriedly.
No, it was just as I was about to take a step.
Creak creak!
An eerie cutting sound was heard.
At the same time, Fuhuahahak!
In the corner of my vision, red blood spurted into the sky like a fountain.
“what…?”
“What’s going on all of a sudden?”
Everyone’s gaze turned to where the sound came from.
When I looked there, I saw many people lying there, bleeding.
The blood that had spurted out like a fountain fell down and formed a puddle.
And then the punch.
A being stepped into the pool of blood.
A black cloak with a hood turned over.
A masked face with a slew of vicious teeth.
The identity of the being wearing the white devil mask was unknown.
That moment.
“Nǐ, Nǐ… !”
Zhang Wei’s voice was heard.
Zhang Wei was astonished as he looked at the mask’s existence.
More precisely… I was afraid.
But was there something that Zhang Wei could be so afraid of?
The 13th hero, the direct disciple of Yung Wi-ran and the leader of the current shamanist faction?
At that moment, I had such a question.
“Hóngsè Yīnyǐng…!”
Zhang Wei’s voice was heard again.
Most people couldn’t understand what it meant.
But did anyone get the meaning?
“Father, red shadow…?”
The ruler of Pandemonium, the Red Shadow.
He was so named because wherever he passed, even his shadow turned red with blood.
However, the red shadow was an entity whose identity was unclear.
There was no one who had seen him.
Some say that Pandemonium is an illusory entity created to instill fear.
So now.
“That guy is the red shadow?”
“Hey, don’t lie. The red shadow really existed?”
“Why is there a red shadow here all of a sudden…?”
People didn’t believe him.
I couldn’t believe it.
Slap.
The sound of footsteps from what was presumed to be a red shadow was heard.
Phew!
Once again a fountain of red blood gushed into the sky.
A massacre without even a scream.
The bright sunlight that poured down formed shadows, but their color was not black.
Blood-stained shadows.
Only a red shadow existed.
Slap.
I can hear the sound of blood being trampled.
A great terror is coming.
“Ah, ahh… .”
“Ugh…!”
In the face of this overwhelming fear, people could not even think of running away.
The same goes for S-class hunters.
It wasn’t visible.
No action was perceptible.
I’m just overwhelmed by the red shadow.
“Yeah, it was real….”
“The red shadow really existed… .”
Only then could people acknowledge the existence of the red shadow.
It also gave me an idea as to why no one had ever seen the red shadow before.
… there was none.
Phew!
Faced with the red shadow, the survivors.
At that moment, Saruk─!
The red shadow’s appearance disappeared like a shadow.
Kwaaang!
A loud explosion was heard.
As expected, no one noticed the movement of the red shadow.
Only one.
“Ugh!”
Only Siu was left to face the red shadow.
* * *
A sharp pain that feels like it’s stabbing my whole body.
It struck Siwoo’s entire body, rupturing every cell in his body.
And so, the union with the red shadow.
Cuts, fractures, ruptures, scars, wounds.
[Is it a rupture?]
The voice of the red shadow is heard.
And again.
[No, it’s not that, it’s that the body burst because it couldn’t handle its own strength.]
A strange figure appeared between the red shadow masks.
The red shadow glanced at Siwoo as if searching him.
On the other hand, Siwoo’s mind was in disarray.
The voice of the red shadow.
Siwoo was questioning this concept.
Because this wasn’t a voice.
It was closer to a will than a voice.
[Who are you?]
It was a method in which the subject’s will was directly conveyed to the mind.
And this was a method that was quite familiar to Siwoo.
‘Godtube…?’
GodTube.
This is the method used by the characters on Gottube.
Of course, the characters on GotTube didn’t speak Korean.
However, the reason Siwoo was able to communicate with the characters on Gottube was because he did not communicate verbally.
This was because Godtube’s smartphone converted Siwoo’s language and conveyed it as will.
And now.
[How can one use that power?]
Red Shadow was also communicating with the characters on Gottube in the same way.
I wasn’t sure.
There was also a high possibility that it was an illusion.
But Zhuge Liang’s insight (S+).
A strange power that penetrates the essence of the phenomena encountered.
The power spoke and warned.
The red shadow right before my eyes.
Its identity is unknown.
[Did you destroy Lilith?]
Red Shadow is a character from Gottube.
[I tried to take the offering and leave…]
The will of the red shadow is heard.
The gaze of the red shadow hidden behind the mask.
The gaze was directed solely at Siwoo.
[I changed my mind.]
A flash of murderous intent.
The new form of the red shadow disappears at once.
A murderous feeling comes rushing in, squeezing through the cracks of my thoughts.
[I must take your life.]
The red shadow had already come close to Siwoo’s nose.
Kwaaaa …
The ground collapses as a mighty force swells.
A red shadow stretches out between them.
Kwaaaaang!
Siwoo’s body was shot backwards.
Two combinations with red shadow.
‘strong!’
And it’s different.
A thought passes through Siwoo’s mind.
If the red shadow is a character from Gottube… .
Lilith, who was inside the dungeon, was also a character from Godtube.
And Lilith was really strong.
He possessed strength that surpassed Cerberus.
Lilith was more powerful and terribly evil than anything Siu had ever seen.
But even that Lilith was weakened.
I was trapped in the dungeon and couldn’t use my powers.
But it wasn’t a red shadow.
The red shadow was neither bound nor weakened within the dungeon.
He was free.
[Did you react even when you were on the verge of death?]
The will of the red shadow that is mumbling can be heard.
Saruk.
Once again, the new form of the red shadow disappears.
And then kkaaaang!
A loud noise is heard.
But this time, the one who was pushed back was none other than the red shadow.
[……!]
The red shadow mask shook violently.
The red shadow calmly raised its gaze and looked straight ahead.
───, ─────!
Only then could the red shadow perceive the strange phenomenon bursting out around Siwoo.
[This…!]
The will of the red shadow stained with shock is heard.
Siwoo grabbed the Orihalcon gauntlet with a jerk.
yet.
The effects of the Monster Power and the Chaos God still remain.
There wasn’t much time left.
But still, still, I can hold on.
No, I have to… hold on.
Phagec!
A blue lightning bolt that jumps out.
Thor’s Thunderhead (SS+).
Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+).
Two different, fused forces shot towards the red shadow.
