Everyone got busy.
The signal flare that Suho fired from India sent a huge ripple effect throughout the world, and many people in each country began to move with their own goals.
Of course, the busiest person among them all was definitely Suho.
Kyaaaaak! Kyaak!
Suho led thousands of shadow soldiers and relentlessly subdued the demons of Loktak Field.
[Follow me!]
Kwaaaaah-!
It’s a real success.
No matter how vast the land is.
Even if five dungeon breaks occurred simultaneously on this land.
No demon could survive against the immortal legions led by Grid, Iron, and Sita.
and.
“Take care of it.”
Kwaaaaah-!
The demons with dragon blood flowing through their veins instinctively trembled before the authority of the guardian.
Choke choke choke choke choke choke-!
The demons who were not of the dragon clan ignorantly rushed in without even knowing that their own lives were precious and were slaughtered.
No matter how you react, everyone is equal in the face of death.
Tiring!
[Level up.]
There is no business before quantity.
Suho eventually succeeded in leveling up with a huge amount of experience points.
‘It was worth the effort.’
The blue fog that had been covering the Rocktac Field was noticeably diminishing.
As the number of open gates decreased one by one, the dimensional gaps that had been torn apart by the overlapping of the cracks naturally began to close.
The magical power of the outer space that had been flowing out ceaselessly through the gap was also cut off as if a faucet had been turned off.
“Look at that! The fog is clearing!”
“oh my god.”
“Is this really possible… …?”
The hunters of the Indian Association who watched the whole scene with their eyes wide open in the field were so surprised that they could not even close their mouths.
‘I really thought I could purify this vast field all by myself!’
It’s ridiculous.
It’s unrealistic.
They knew that the power of an S-class Hunter was great, but the guardian’s ability they had witnessed was completely out of the norm.
Some people, including Thomas Andre from the United States and Liu Zhikang from China, possessed overwhelming skills that were incomparable even among S-class hunters…

‘This is on a completely different scale!’
Do the people of the world know?
That young man now.
The fact that the standards of strength that the world had thought of up until now have fundamentally changed because of one hunter named Seong Su-ho from Korea!
“… …I wonder if it’s okay to call that person an S-class hunter.”
Ouch!
“… … !”
A word that suddenly came out of someone’s mouth without thinking.
At that moment, the person who said those words and all the hunters who heard those words simultaneously looked shocked and looked around for someone.
The target is none other than Ryu Zukang!
Those words just now were bound to irritate the S-class hunter!
But it was unexpected.
“Haha. Of course that’s nonsense.”
‘uh?’
However, Ryu Zhikang himself showed no sign of being hurt in his pride.
Liu Zhikang, who had been watching the battle of Suho from behind with his arms folded, muttered with the corners of his lips raised when he heard the Indian hunters speak.
“It would be an extreme disrespect to dare to describe that level of power as something like S-class.”
“… … !”
The hunters’ eyes widened at his shocking remark.
‘Something like S-class?!’
‘What did I just hear?’
Everyone couldn’t help but tense up at the shocking statement that made them doubt their ears even as they heard it.
Who in this world would dare say something like that?
To begin with, the S-class itself meant ‘out of standard.’
It was a title granted only to those who possessed ‘immeasurable’ magical power that could not be accurately measured by the magical power measuring devices invented by humans.
But, ‘How dare you say something like ‘S-class’?
Even if he was a 6-star hunter from China, Liu Zhikang, such remarks were extremely rude to all the S-rank hunters around the world.
But without caring about their reactions.
Ryu Zhikang opened his mouth with an expression that seemed to be recalling vague memories while feeling nostalgic for somewhere.
“National power level.”
… … !
Suddenly, a term I had never heard before came out of his mouth.
A ranking system that was once known to everyone, but is now appearing for the first time in this world.
A great title that was only granted to a few of the world’s strongest individuals who could represent a country just by existing and possessed immense power that could take on a country with their individual strength!
“Yes. Seongsuho, that guy is already an S-class hunter, above S-class. A hunter of national power level.”

“… … State power level?”
Indian hunters tilt their heads at the unfamiliar expression.
At their puzzled reactions, Ryu Zhikang simply chuckled.
There was no need to explain it in detail.
‘It’ll happen sooner or later anyway.’
okay.
Anyway, as time goes by, everyone will know.
Ryu Zukang recalled.
A long time ago, he remembered the first time he met Seongsuho’s father.
The horrifying shock people all over the world felt when Sung Jin-woo revealed all his powers to the world.
‘… … I’m getting excited for no reason.’
Recalling the intense emotions he had long forgotten, Liu Zhikang quietly laughed to himself.
Yeah. It was going to happen sooner or later anyway.
Even if he doesn’t step forward, eventually the whole world will call for Seongsuho.
The world’s first national power-level hunter.
* * *
Exactly three days later.
News that the Rocktac Field had been completely purified reached Korea.
[hmm.]
Shadow Assassin Kira muttered with a smile on his face after seeing the news.
[You must be coming back soon.]
Kira followed Rio Sing to India, but ended up staying in Korea with their locations switched when Suho used the ‘Shadow Exchange’ skill.
But during those few days, Kira didn’t receive any special orders from Suho.
But wouldn’t it be too much of an incompetent soldier to just stand there and do nothing until he returns?
So he was doing what he does best.
What is that?
Murder.
“Ugh… … ! Sa, save me… … .”
Crunch.
Today again, someone’s head was cut off in a dark back alley.
The headless body fell backwards.
The pungent smell of blood and bright red blood flowed down the floor.
[Well, the police will take care of cleaning up the bodies.]
Kira asked, grinning and tilting her head back.
[Are you okay?]
“Go, go, thank you… … .”
[I have no intention of killing you, so when you calm down, report it to the association.]
“… … Hibiki.”
The face of the woman sitting shivering in the corner of the back alley was pale with fear.
Kira spoke again calmly to the woman who was so scared that she couldn’t even breathe properly.

[Why? Do I have to tell you the villain report number?]
“Oh, I know… … .”
[Okay then.]
At the woman’s answer, Kira indifferently turned her head forward again.
Then, there, the colleague of the man who had just died was crawling desperately on the floor.
[You can hold out like that? You’ve got quite a long lifespan. Do you have any tank skills?]
Dragging-
As he crawled along the floor trying to escape from Kira, bright red blood followed him.
“Ugh… … Why on earth… … .”
The man’s face was covered in tears and snot.
A black demon was following me.
Following the red path made with one’s own blood.
He was terrified and shouted at Kira.
“Why on earth are you doing this to us… … !”
[Oh, you’re not asking because you honestly don’t know that right now, are you?]
The man gasped for breath and shouted in agony at Kira’s leisurely question.
“Stop acting hypocritical! You, you’re a murderer anyway! Just let us go! We were just planning to have fun for one night!”
[Villain Number 521. Kidnapping. Rape. Organ Trafficking.]
Falak.
Kira skillfully flipped through the list of villains as he had done in his life, comparing the face on the list with the man in front of him and nodded.
[Yes. Sure, you’ve never killed anyone directly. You kidnap men and hand them over to organ harvesters, and you sell women to prostitution. I’m asking this sincerely, but it’s probably a lot less profitable than being a hunter, so why do you do this?]
“Wh, what… … .”
In response to Kira’s question, the man desperately rolled his head while covering the bleeding wound with his hand.
I found a glimmer of hope in the dry speech of that devilish bastard.
Why are you doing it when you don’t even make money?
So are you saying you’ll join if you have money?
Maybe if I answered correctly here, they would let me go alive.
“… … Well, it’s easier this way!”
[be easy?]
“That, that’s right! It’s obviously easier to hunt civilians than to risk your life hunting dangerous beasts! Even if it makes less money, this way is much… … .”
[Because it’s weak?]
“Yeah, yeah!”
[That makes sense. That’s a good answer.]
“… … !”
When Kira nodded as if she understood, the man cheered inwardly.
‘Oh, I’m alive!’
[If you’re weak, you should die. Right?]
“That, that’s right! If you’re weak in this day and age… … .”
[Yeah. If you’re weak, you might meet someone like me and get your throat cut.]
“……what?”
Crunch.
In an instant, the man’s head separated from his torso and rolled on the floor.
Looking directly into his wide-open eyes, which still had a puzzled expression on them even after his death, Kira smiled and spoke.
[It doesn’t feel unfair, does it?]
Kira, who had been a villain hunter while alive, was unable to break that habit even after death.
Anyway, since this kind of thing doesn’t go against the master’s will, it can be done as much as you want.
Rather, it was better to become a shadow soldier, because I was free from human laws.

Besides, what was the most difficult part about villain hunting?
If you hold it, you’ll find out there’s a story behind it.
There were things like he was falsely accused and the real culprit was actually someone else.
But now, he just had to blend into the shadows, watch the situation unfold, and once he confirmed that he was a truly bad guy, he could just kill him.
[Okay. Today was a rewarding day. Hey, did you report it?]
“Yes, yes.”
The woman nodded hurriedly, her expression still pale.
Kira nagged at him firmly, whether he liked it or not.
[Yes. From now on, be careful on your way home at night, and only walk on well-lit paths. But don’t just be careful with men. Do you know that this world is one where even women can become villains at any time if they wake up?]
“Yes, four.”
[Okay, then go.]
“The legs… … .”
[Ah, are you tired? Then take your time and rest. I’ll kill all the villains around here anyway, so you’ll be safe tonight.]
“Eek… … .”
It seemed like he had scared her even more, but Kira paid no attention and disappeared into the darkness.
at that time.
‘Shadow Exchange’
[ah?]
Suddenly, Kira blinked, and Suho appeared in her place.
With that shock.
“Gyaaaaak-!”
“……huh?”
Suho, who returned to Korea, opened his eyes wide at the sight of a woman foaming at the mouth and collapsing while looking at him.
The whole area was a sea of blood.
“Kira, you… … .”
What the hell were you doing?
Kira had already flown to India.
