Around that time.
There was someone forgotten by everyone.
"Su Suho...."
Lim Dogyoon was dying.
"Save me..."
Lim Dogyoon crawls on the floor with a white bandage wrapped around his body.
The sight of him shaking his hands and desperately trying to get out of this hellish place was truly devastating.
Suho, who witnessed this, closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away.
"I'm sorry bro."
...tuk.
In the end, Lim Dogyoon's hand, which had been shaking, fell helplessly to the floor.
but.
[Wake up.]
Excited.
Ammut's gigantic hand lifted his rag-wrapped body with ease.
[There are still three laps left.]
"Ahhh...!"
Lim Dogyoon, who was caught in his grip, struggled with both arms like a broken doll.
But against his will, Ammut forced his body to the ground and ordered it sternly and solemnly.
[If you have time to lick your mouth, run.]
"Ammut! please...! No more!"
[It is.]
"No really! My leg is broken...!"
[Trick your brain. If you think your legs aren't broken, you can run.]
"Can you do it? You crazy crocodile!"
[...]
"No sir. It was just bullshit. I must have been dreaming for a moment."
[Khehehe. It looks good. Your eyes are alive. Could you increase the gravity? Gravity doubled.]
Gooh!
When Ammut snapped his finger, the heavy gravity field pressed down on Lim Dogyoon's body.
Dudeuk!
"Kwaaaak...!"
The already broken leg bones cracked again.
Unfortunately, however, the 'Item: Mummy's Bandage' wrapped around his body was forcibly holding his broken body.
Thanks to that, Lim Do-kyun was able to run as much as he wanted even with a broken leg, which was nothing to be thankful for.
"Hehehe. I don't like it... Why are you moving again..."
His eyes were loose and his saliva was dripping, but Im Dogyoon felt grateful and cursed that he was still alive.
As Ammut pushed his back with the gravitational field, Lim Dogyoon eventually trudged and started running again.
The past few days when Suho went to the devil world.
Lim Dogyoon stayed for a while in the pyramid of Ammut.
The situation outside was too dangerous, so Suho temporarily evacuated him here.
But here... an even more terrible hell awaited him.
Right in front of my eyes, a huge muscular crocodile man was licking his lips at Lim Dogyoon.
And the reason Ammut licked his lips was never to eat him.
Ammut was very fond of such frail and worthless things as he was.
[scent. Yogo yogo... keuhuh.]
My mouth watered.
The chef's mind was as if he had just discovered fresh ingredients.
Ammut was thrilled just thinking about how to train this weak human scum to spread rumors that he raised him well.
In particular, as Suho experienced, the gravitational field in this pyramid became heavier or lighter depending on Ammut's will.
If you use this system well, you should be able to train it to the limit by squeezing that skinny, wretched body to its maximum.
And...
No matter how much Lim Do-kyun refused, he had no right to veto.
Because no one who stepped into this pyramid escaped safely from Ammut's clutches.
"Quaaaaagh!"
The desperate screams of Lim Dogyoon resonated throughout the pyramid, but even that was only pleasing to Ammut.
[Hehe. good I still have a lot of energy.]
"Oh no... wait a minute...?"
[Adds one more round.]
"...!"
Gazes were standing and watching Lim Dogyoon from afar.
[Corrupted mummies]
[Corrupted mummies]
They are the countless seniors who died while receiving Strength Body Training from Ammut until they were killed a long time ago.
Even after death, they were workers who were forever trapped in this pyramid and were holding Ammit's help.
"Geuuu..."
Originally, the dead don't talk.
The mummies stared blankly at Lim Dogyoon with empty pupils, then turned their heads bitterly.
[Khehehe. Don't worry too much. I've learned how to train just enough to not die anymore.]
"It seems like that, but."
Suho was very sorry and bought a healing potion at the store.
When the potion was poured into Lim Dogyoon's mouth, which had become a super-dead sword, his pupils, which had disappeared from focus, slowly began to regain strength.
"Ah... are you an angel...? The power is coming back. Can I live?"
I didn't even have the spirit to wonder how Suho had this ability.
"Suho, thank you..."
[Ho-oh. The power has returned?]
"Now wait a minute. No no... Really no..."
At that moment, Lim Do-kyun looked at Suho with a desperate expression as Ammut lit up his eyes as if he had waited.
Suho met his eyes and nodded silently.
"If you haven't completed 10km yet, you should run."
"You traitor!"
training resumed.
It was a little sorry for Lim Dogyoon, but Ammut's training would definitely help him.
'Even if you can't level up like me, it's a good thing to do strength training to the limit.'
In fact, this was no different from Lim Dogyoon.
Ordinary hunters couldn't grow through leveling up like Suho.
However, that meant that it was impossible to grow the awakened ability, and everyone was doing mock combat training on how to use strength exercises and skills in battle.
That was the reason Hunters wanted to join a large guild in the first place.
It was because the large guilds were systematically assisting the hunters' training by recruiting coaches who had trained national-level athletes at high cost.
In that sense, Ammut's rigid body training was actually a very good training method, even if it was very violent.
In particular, the 'Mummy's Bandage' and 'Healing Potion', which forcefully move the body even when bones are broken and muscles are torn, were able to transform the human body to the limit.
"Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...!"
Of course, I had to endure that much pain myself.
[Rather than that, he is a disciple. Did the affairs of the demon realm go well?]
Just then, Ammut looked back at Suho and asked how he was doing.
Of course, I wouldn't ask out of curiosity.
Suho intuitively realized what words would come out next.
[If it's all over, let's start chi training today.]
"...Just pretend to listen to the answer."
Because this gym is so awful.
Suho shook his head and stood next to Lim Dogyoon himself.
[Gravity tripled.]
"...!"
Start daily quest.
* * *
Meanwhile, while Suho is on his way back to the Devil World.
The outside world was noisy as well.
"What?! Are you saying our Suho still hasn't returned from the dungeon!"
Jinho Yoo.
Suho's uncle and CEO of Ajinsoft couldn't help but be surprised when he received the news that Suho, who had been attacking the dungeon, had not been heard from for several days.
The secretary who relayed the fact to Yoo Jinho also had a serious expression.
Because there were still more important facts left.
"Yes. Of course, it's common for hunters to stay in dungeons for a long time, but this time it's not trivial. It is said that after Hunter Sung Suho entered the Pyeongtaek Dungeon, the Hunters of the Black Tortoise Guild followed suit."
"Black Tortoise Guild?!"
Yoo Jinho couldn't help but feel bad about the familiar name.
"Couldn't it be that there is a name called 'Lee Young-ho' among the hunters who followed him?"
"...That's right, CEO. Black Tortoise Guild's Manager Lee Yeong-ho said that he who recently had a conflict with us brought his subordinates to the Pyeongtaek Guild..." "
Damn it!"
Jump!
Yoo Jinho couldn't help but stand up and pick up the phone.
"I will hire mercenaries right away and go in to rescue Suho! Also, contact the Black Tortoise Guild and ask where Manager Lee Young-ho is now!"
"yes! All right!"
Yoo Jinho was furious with the fact that Suho could be in danger.
'It's my fault! I could never have thought that Manager Lee Yeong-ho would take his anger out on Suho for what went wrong this time!'
It was a mistake that no one thought that even the hunters would cross the line this far.
However, if you look closely, it has only been two years since the profession of Hunter was created in this world.
No matter how diligently the Hunter Association made the Hunter Act and set its guidelines for action, it was unreasonable to correct the appearance of the rampaging gangsters who suddenly had supernatural powers.
'I forgot for a moment that there is a difference between Hunter and Villain in the end!'
Intoxicated with superhuman strength, countless hunters evaded the law and fulfilled their desires. Humans are greedy and selfish animals. Even before the cataclysm, isn't it human nature to commit all sorts of evil deeds if you have a lot of money?
"CEO! I have contacted the Black Tortoise Guild! By the way..."
Just in time, the secretary delivered new news to Yoo Jinho.
"Black Tortoise Guild Manager Lee Yeong-ho also entered the dungeon and lost contact for several days."
"What?!"
It was Yoo Jinho who felt something strange at those words.
According to the information, the 3rd dungeon in Pyeongtaek where Suho entered was not a very difficult place.
In the first place, wasn't it a place where I was going to stop by lightly to build a career to create a guild of guardians?
In such a place, the Black Tortoise Guild, which was said to have followed immediately after the Witchbeasts, must have been a much more dangerous existence.
If Suho's attacking party had clashed with them, it would have been time to finish the match by now.
"Connect with the Black Tortoise Guild right away. I will call you directly."
Yoo Jinho took over the phone with a scary expression.
The secretary, who watched the sudden momentum from the side, got goosebumps.
'It's been a while since the CEO has been so angry...'
The secretary who had been aiding him for a long time remembered exactly when the moment he showed himself like this.
Just a few years ago, when Sung Soo-ho's parents suddenly went missing.
Even then, Yoo Jinho was extremely angry and his eyes were turned upside down.
And Yoo Jinho at a time like this...
'No one can stop him.'
chuck.
Just then, the phone that Yoo Jinho was holding connected to the Black Tortoise Guild.
– I got a call. I am the Head of the Black Tortoise Guild...
"Change the guild leader right now."
– Yes Yes?
A look of bewilderment returned to the phone over the phone because of the thick murderousness in Yoo Jinho's voice.
However, Yoo Jinho had no intention of conversing with the general manager.
Yu Jinho summoned the guild leader of the Black Tortoise Guild, growling ferociously like a beast that had lost its family.
And the head of the Black Tortoise Guild, who knew who Yoo Jinho was, did not dare to go against his words.
-I'll connect you to the guild leader...
Yoo Jinho asked his secretary, who was standing beside him at the same time, at a loss for what to do.
"Have the mercenaries been recruited?"
"Yes. But since we're trying to recruit talented mercenaries, reservations have already been made..."
"Tell me to double or triple the pay. Now we fight for the village..."
It was then.
A text from Suho arrived on Yoo Jinho's cell phone.
-What should I do with Uncle? This dungeon took a little longer, so the next dungeons I reserved were delayed a little...
