pov Rudy
when I heard the named beastman, my expression became serious. during the ancient times beastman considered a honorable warriors.
they are like knights who wants to proven themselves to the beast god trimo. unlike knights who fought for there country. beastman wonders around the world.
they didn't care if the opponent they fighting was stronger or powerful than them.
they are willing to fought with there weapons in hand and challenge them in fight.
I once remembered when I fought a beastman, we always exchanging blows after blows to the point we always settled in a match.
although I didn't know how he end up during his battle with the demon army but I heard he was the strongest in their kin.
but right now, I think that's impossible since that the races change their beliefs.
I couldn't help but sigh in this situation. the once pride knights was replaced with machine and no gods are willing to gave their blessings except the priest or priestess.
seriously how did every people in this world end up like this.
as I sigh in pity. Juan spoke.
"anyway cardinal Rudy. the pope invited you to the church."
"the church?"
"yes, although the church of the thousand gods already destroyed. the church of vida was intact."
"wait.... vida? as in the goddess of birth?"
"yes, well some of the church was still exist today when you left to fight the demon king. why do you think that hundreds of priestess came to meet you?"
although I wanted to tell him that I knock out after the fight. I still have a glimpse of the priestess and priest came to me.
now that I think about it, I wonder what they think about me when I was unconscious to day.
while Juan was waiting for my replied. I decided to accept and visit the church of vida.
"fine but where is vida's church? more over where are we?"
as the two look at each other. Juan cough and spoke.
"it's in Italy, and right now we are in Korea."
"good then...."
as I look at Tasha, she too nodded her head. it's not like I didn't trust her but rather the situation for the people.
hatred for over decades cannot removed like the word sorry. moreover Tasha has a short fuse too.
"we will go with you."
"good now let's go the the airfield."
""airfield?""
when both of ask what is airfield. both Juan and byung-ho only smiled.

pov ae-cha
while working on the paperwork. the door was opened by my secretary who was carrying books in his hands.
upon putting in my table, I couldn't help but sigh and ask.
"who is it from?"
jong-in fix his glasses and spoke in respectful tone.
"it's from cheong group, they wanted you to review this papers if there is any people suited for conquering dungeon at Jeju island."
hearing the word Jeju island, my mind went blank for few seconds and spoke coldly.
"tsk, those elders from the cheong group are they really cared to the people of Korea?"
Jeju island was one of the unconquered dungeon. many of the hunters from each guild failed including us. the reason of our failure was it's the home of one of the most notorious races called lizard man.
they are good at stealth and always attacking our rear guard. this cause the formation to be broken, what's worst we didn't even reach the dungeon gate due to high rate of casualties.
"seriously, why didn't those old goat just ask for military assistance? with the help of the steel knights we might even advance to the gate?"
"but priestess ae-cha. you know why the military hates hunter like us right?"
"ugh."
of course why wouldn't I know that. the military and the hunter association hate each other because of wealth.
the dungeon was under the enemy's control. they use it as reconnaissance and spying our every movement. obviously this is should work for military but, dungeons are different than the actual field battle.
dungeon was like the enemy's backyard. they use teleportation device to randomly teleported in human territory and use it as outpost.
the military couldn't send the steel knights because the entrance to the dungeon was small. moreover there are many traps and they send troops if the dungeon was getting attack.
to destroy the teleportation device inside the dungeon. we have to send hunters equip with power suit. unlike the steel knights, power suit was just increasing strength and agility but without advance weaponry like missile launcher. we have to use a medieval style weapons and a modern weapons.
lucky the enemies are the same but unlike us. they use magic powers and none of us can't us magic powers except priestess or priest.
hunters entered and kill every monsters in the dungeon but it's easily said than done.
entering dungeon has a high risk of casualties, for one dungeon we entered more than 50 to 70% of people died.
if this keeps going, we couldn't do anything to other dungeons. the worst was enemies will just send the army everywhere making the military will having a hard time.
"ahh.... what do we do know."
as I place my face in the table. I couldn't help but to remembered that holy knight.
that man stronger as it looks. he defeated many of the steel knights including the special forces. if we have like him we could destroyed the du-.
"wait that's it?!"
as I finally solved the dungeon problem, I look at my assistant and excitedly said.
"that holy knight, what's his name again?!"
"you mean Rudy Winston?"
"yes, that's him. ask him if he could joined the Jeju expedition. we might solve our problems in dungeon problems."
when jong-in was about to called. the door suddenly opened and nam-gil entered without permission.
he looks exhausted from running but I can see his anxious face.
"priestess we have a problem?!"
"problem? what happened?!"
when am about to ask if something happened. the building which far away from our building suddenly explode.
boom.
the explosion was loud making my ears turned deaf for few seconds, when I turned around. I saw some prisoners are escaping. my face became serious and nam-gil shouted.
"the prisoners are escaping"
"I can see that but who did it..... no could it be jong-hoo did it again?!"
when I look at nam-gil, his face became bitter as I guess what is happened right now.
jong-hoo was a warden of the prison but he is a notorious warden. he was a arrogant and even tortured prisoners for fun. although the public already knew his deed nobody cares to the life of prisoners.
moreover jong-hoo was a careless person. he always ordered his subordinate to do the things he supposed to do.
most prisoners was just a different race and some captured pow, but even though they have electric choker in there neck. the enemies was still strong and also smart.
"tsk, so who was leading the prison break?"
upon my questioning, nam-gil answered.
"it's gukra."
"that dwarf?!"
"yes."
damn, I never thought that the silent dwarf who didn't even interact with other people will cause a prison break. why would he suddenly cause trouble in the time when we are too busy.
even though I want to know why he suddenly cause chaos. I decided to comfort him and put him back to his cell.

pov gurka
running in a sewer, we didn't have time to take a break and just keep running.
most of my men has a energy to run but we became too rusty since we been in human prison for over a years.
"gurka, are you sure about the information you got?"
looking at girta who was next to me, I just keep running and answer him.
"we can't be sure from that bastard jong-hoo but if what he said is true. we can save our people with his help..... no with my great father's hammer."
as we keep running in the sewers. I heard trimble in the ceiling. I couldn't help but to turned grim as we keep running in this smelly place.
