wee.
It felt like time had stopped.
Patter.
Blue blood and pieces of internal organs were pouring down like rain from the sky.
The unrealistic scene was being broadcast worldwide in real-time, but it was such a shocking scene that no one dared to speak out first.
What was a 'giant demon beast' just moments ago has burst like a balloon due to overwhelming power.
-?
After a while, the frozen chat window started moving again.
-??
-??
-???
From that point on, countless question marks started popping up like crazy in chat windows worldwide.
The chat window was filled with only question marks because the sight was so shocking that my mind couldn't move properly.
In the meantime, someone managed to type out the correct sentence.
-Who is that guy?
The Chinese government, which was in charge of the live broadcast, was also unable to escape the chaos.
"Who on earth is that hunter?"
"Gee, I'm trying to figure it out now!"
"Of course, it's our people. I guess so. It will definitely have to happen... ... ."
The adjutant responded while sweating at the sight of his superior biting his thumbnail and muttering obsessively.
"Of course not, right? As for the hair color, if you see him moving around with Liu Zhigang... ... ."
"But why don't we know? "If there was a stronger hunter than Liu Zhigang, why didn't we know about it?"
"Choi, we'll find out as soon as possible!"
The emotions on the faces of the employees as they hurriedly typed on their keyboards and searched for the association's data were all the same.
Nervous.
It was ominous. I was really very nervous.
'Must be Chinese.'
'Please, you have to be a Chinese hunter.'
The reason they boldly dispatched a drone unit, even violating international law, was because they were confident that they
would extract more value from this incident.
International law?
I was able to get over that later by making a suitable excuse.
If it didn't work out, all they had to do was offer a sincere apology and appropriate compensation to the Indian government through a diplomat.
Instead, the political advantage and great glory that the Chinese government will gain from this incident are so enormous that they cannot be expressed in monetary terms.
None other than Liu Zhigang! It was worth it to let the world know about the great performance of the strongest hunter representing China in saving India!
'Everything was calculated in our favor, both politically and in terms of brand value!'
But something big happened.
A fatal error occurred in that perfect calculation.
"Wow, we're in big trouble!"
Suddenly, one of the employees became thoughtful and screamed.
Unfortunately, what he pointed to with his trembling fingertip was not the Chinese Association's hunter list.
Right in the chat window.
In the chat window uploaded from all over the world, none other than 'Korean' was being translated in real-time.
-Isn't that a Korean hunter?
-Oh, I see. It's a face I've seen on the news.
-what? Korean?? who?
-This is you, right?
-(Link to related article attached)
-what is this? Immigration risk?
"... ... !"
Someone showed me unnecessary kindness and even posted a related link.
When I clicked on the link, there was a video capture of a Class A villain incident that occurred in Korea.
Three hunters and a huge beehive.
The video capture showed three hunters soaring up with their black wings spread toward a huge beehive that had formed at
the top of a high-rise building.
Two of them were Lim Tae-gyu and Baek Mi-ho, whose faces were quite well known, and the other one was... ... Anyone could see that it was the same person as the man who is currently in India.
"Holy shit!"
Quang!
The violent punch shattered the desk, but no one here was surprised by the extent of it. Because I was already shocked enough.
ruined.
Just one sentence that penetrates their heads.
'I can't believe he wasn't Chinese... ... .'
Are you saying that they will give you a dog for making porridge like this?
They tried to promote China's powerful combat power to the world, even by breaking international law, but ended up only promoting a Korean hunter who showed more outstanding performance than Liu Zhigang.
He even made Liu Zhigang stand out as a bridesmaid to make him stand out even more.
'... ... 'I'm screwed.'
It's dizzying.
In the future, it seemed like they would have to handle a lot of work both internationally and domestically.
'The quickest solution might be to pack your bags and flee abroad right now.'
The perfect option came to someone's mind, but they didn't dare to put it into practice.
* * *
"Tsk. "You are doing something useless."
It was Liu Zhigang, clicking his tongue with a disapproving expression as he looked at the drones flying overhead.
Looking at the direction the drones flew, it seemed like they were sent from China.
bang!
He lightly swung his sword as if catching a fly, smashing the drone that bothered him the most, then approached Suho and said,
"I'm sorry about this. "For no reason, your face is being sold because of me."
"Well, it's okay."
Suho lightly shook off the blood from the demon beast on his fist and shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.
"I recently received permission from my father."
"Then that's a relief."
Strictly speaking, it wasn't my father, it was my father's fantasy that allowed it, but it wasn't a big mistake.
Moreover, now that he has surpassed level 100 and has become strong enough to deal with Italim's apostles on his own, from now on, it is advantageous in many ways to actively search for the remnants of Italim rather than hiding his identity.
"Are you better than that?"
Suho turned his head back and checked the well-being of the hunters he rescued.
Hunters from the Indian Association bowed their heads to Suho and expressed their gratitude in English.
"Okay, thank you."
"Thank you for saving me."
While saying hello, the Indian hunters were a little worried about the expressions on their faces.
I'm sure they're grateful for saving them, but...
'Honestly, it's scary.'
'Can we see this person as someone like us?'
Know.
This was a very disrespectful feeling to the person who saved my life.
In fact, no matter what the grade, fellow hunters knew each other's difficulties without even saying it.
This is the 'gaze' you receive from everyone around you the moment you awaken your magic power.
The general public does not view hunters as the same people.
In the media, hunters are always praised as the shield of humanity and all, but in reality, to ordinary humans, hunters are no
different from 'talking demon beasts'.
In fact, it was natural to feel reluctant.
Superhumans who can throw cars and knock down buildings whenever they want are living alongside citizens without a care in the world as if they were the same people.
It was unfair to the hunters who risked their lives to fight to save humanity.
Even though it was unfair, there were quite a few hunters who hunted the demon beasts more diligently intending to make more money.
But now I completely understand.
Just like the general public, who were grateful to the hunters, but also looked at them with fear...
Because they were also looking at Suho that way now.
'He was at least a class A demon.'
Even though they tried not to, their eyes kept unconsciously glancing at the remains of the magical beast that Suho had blown up with one blow.
'Maybe it was an S-class demon... ... .'
I couldn't measure it properly, but considering the momentary feeling of intimidation, there was a possibility that it was an S
-class demon beast.
However, there was a superhuman standing in front of them who had blown up that enormous boss mob with a single punch.
"if... ... Are you an S-class hunter?"
Someone finally mustered up the courage to open their mouth to break the awkwardness, but everyone realized that these
were all useless questions.
What are you asking for?
Everyone knows that Liu Zhigang, seen right across from me, is a 6-star Chinese hunter.
But didn't this man in front of me show a much more powerful performance than Liu Zhigang?
In fact, S-class hunters meant those who exceeded the limits of man-made magic power meters and were judged as unmeasurable'.
So, even among the same S-class hunters, their strength was vastly different.
However, they could not be asked to fight among themselves to determine superiority.
Then, if anyone died, it was a loss both to the nation and humanity, and it was the accepted opinion in the academic world that at least one city could be blown up in the aftermath of the battle.
However, when I saw an S-class hunter popping a boss mob like a balloon with one punch right in front of my eyes, I under
stood it right away.
'As expected, S-class hunters are amazing... ... .'
However, when Suho was asked that question, the expression on his face was somewhat awkward.
Scratching.
Suho shyly scratched his cheek with his finger and opened his mouth.
Because my English skills are poor, I can't explain every detail, just the main point.
"I am C-level."
"... ... yes?"
Confusion increased.
* * *
Suho led all the Indian hunters and brought them to Imphal.
And he entrusted them with protecting citizens, not hunting demonic beasts.
When Rio Singh, a fellow Indian, took over as interpreter, the conversation became easier.
"While our guild leader hunts the demonic beasts, please stop those who enter the city."
"We can fight too!"
"We may not have enough power, but we will help you!"
The hunters of the Indian Association, who were suddenly treated as weak, felt helpless but did not forget their duty.
But Rio Singh was adamant.
"Ah, it's okay. "Our guild leader will take care of it."
"... ... ?"
They just couldn't understand.
You can clearly see the strength of Sung Suho with your own eyes, but this field is too large and the number of demonic beasts is too large.
"No matter how much China's Liu Zhigang helps, it will take a lot of manpower to hunt down so many of them one by one!"
"Liu Zhigang is also resting over there?"
"... ... yes?"
Everyone's eyes turned to the side at Rio Singh's words.
Liu Zhigang, who was receiving attention, was resting.
I even received a shoulder massage from Esil.
"Hmm. "Well, I heard it's okay."
"It's because I'm bored too."
As a result, everyone who interfered with Suho's leveling up, including Esil, was excluded.
"... ... "What, are you going to solve it on your own?"
Suho left behind the mesmerized hunters in India and walked alone toward the demonic beasts that were attacking them outside the city.
Then I suddenly looked up and glanced at the drone cameras flying in the sky.
"It's broadcast all over the world... "It's a little burdensome."
[It is rather good.]
Beru's eyes flashed as he put his face next to Suho.
The higher the original level, the more experience points are needed to level up.
However, Suho's level had now become so high that he was unable to level up even though he had just killed the boss mob.
[Now, if the small lord wants to level up, it seems like it won't be possible with just a few random mobs. From now on, I think it would be faster to let the stronger ones come to us first.]
Suho nodded when Beru said that he should use this opportunity to show it to the Italim hiding around the world.
"Okay. "Let me show you."
That moment.
Grumble!
The magic power he received from the Dragon Emperor was seething in his body.
Whoa!
A black shadow spread out in all directions, centered at the feet, covering the ground.
"Everyone come on out."
Kaaaaaaaa-!
At Suho's command, thousands of shadow legions rose all at once.
Swirling pitch-black vapor.
... ... And the moment the scene was broadcast around the world.
The Chinese server exploded due to an overload of the chat window.
