bang!
“What the hell is this kid doing!”
Lee Min-seong, the vice president of the Death Guild, was so angry that he smashed the table.
-(Hot News) Beast King Crow!
– Crow, an unknown hunter who gained the power of the Beast King!
-Why does Crow wear a crow mask?
Internet articles were full of stories about the Magok Field incident.
dripping.
“Vice President.”
Secretary Kim happened to knock on the door and came in and relayed the report that had come in.
“They say that all the Hyena Guild members who entered Magok Field were found dead. They just recovered the last body.”
Kwajik!
At those words, Lee Min-seong clenched his fist and broke the armrest of the chair he was holding onto.
“I knew this would happen.”
Lee Min-seong ground his teeth with a frightening expression.
“Now the whole picture is fitting together.”
The remnants of the Hyena Guild that he had taken in as his own.
It was only two days ago that those werewolves suddenly disappeared, saying they were going to Magok Field.
-I’ll go and check if there’s a factory in Magok.
The excuse was good.
Because he had been nagging me to find a new stardust factory by any means necessary.
However, Lee Min-seong, who did not trust them at all, sent several hunters with stealth skills to follow them.
They have a good sense of smell, so just watch what they do from as far away as possible.
And as expected.
Their lies were quickly exposed.
In Magok, in addition to the werewolves, there were already beast hunters roaming around in search of the ‘right to be king’.
“It seems like they went to Magok to obtain the Beast King’s power or something, not the factory.”
And after gaining that unidentified power, wasn’t it an attempt to escape from immigration?
Anyway, their goal was ultimately successful.
Because freedom was finally achieved in the form of ‘death’.
Secretary Kim continued reporting.
“After securing several of their bodies and examining the cause of death, it was clear that they were killed by the Hunters’ weapons, not by the demons.”
“No. They’re not hunters.”
“yes?”
Lee Min-seong bit his lip and stared at the internet article with a confident look in his eyes.
-Why does Crow wear a crow mask?
“It must have been the demons who killed them. The crow mask is a kind of symbol of the demons.”
As soon as he saw the words ‘crow mask’, the first thing that came to mind for Lee Min-seong was the devils of the factory.
For some reason, demons always wear crow masks on their faces.
Just like ‘Crow’!
“That Crow is definitely a demon. The demons killed the hyenas and stole the king’s power.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s for sure. In the first place, only those with beast-like skills were qualified to be kings. But how can demons obtain that power?”
“… … .”
“Don’t you know? Your head isn’t working?”
Lee Min-seong clicked his tongue in frustration at Secretary Kim’s continued bewildered expression.
“It’s my fault for having such an idiot as my secretary. Don’t you remember how hyenas could turn into werewolves in the first place?”
“It was awakened by drinking the blood of a wolf demon… … Ah, blood!”
Secretary Kim, who had been muttering to himself, suddenly had a realization and shuddered.
Lee Min-seong nodded with his eyes sparkling.
“Yes, blood. If humans suck blood, they become beasts, so what can’t demons do? The demons killed the hyenas and drank their blood. Then, they fulfilled the qualifications of a king and stole the king’s power.”
“and…….”
After hearing all his words, Secretary Kim looked up at Lee Min-seong’s face with great emotion.
“As expected, the Vice President’s vision is… …! How can the Vice President have such a broad vision? I could never have imagined this even after seeing the same information.”
“Tsk. What’s so great about this? It’s just something to look at.”
Lee Min-seong looked a little relieved at Secretary Kim’s sincere flattery.
“Anyway, now that we have a full grasp of the situation, it’s important to use this information. Since the hyenas are all dead, we’ll have to step up and strike a deal with the demons and the stardust. Got it?”
“That’s right. Then we first need to find the location of the factory, and the clue to that is… … .”
“Magog.”
Lee Min-seong pointed to the Internet article with his sharp and wise eyes.
“How could demons who didn’t even have beast-like skills know about the King’s Test and go to Magog? There are no coincidences in this world. It’s logical to assume that demons were there from the beginning.”
“Oh, I see! Then it wasn’t a complete lie that the werewolves went to Magok Field to look for the factory.”
“I guess that’s how it is.”
“Okay, then I’ll take responsibility and search the Magok field like this.”
“Yes. And if you’re going to make a deal with a demon who has obtained the power of the Beast King, prepare plenty of meat.”
“Ah! Well, werewolves do eat a lot of meat. The Vice President is really wise!”
“Written.”
Secretary Kim was once again deeply impressed by Lee Min-seong’s wisdom and bowed down.
… … Of course, the reality was completely different.
“Oh, by the way.”
Finally, Lee Min-seong checked the other tasks he had assigned to Secretary Kim.
“What happened to that doctor?”
“I’m sorry. I haven’t been able to convince you yet. You’re such a sullen gentleman.”
“Hey, you… …! What on earth are you doing with such a high salary? If money doesn’t work out, shouldn’t you bring it with force?”
“Oh, I understand. I will do it today… … .”
It was Secretary Kim who finished answering and hurriedly left the vice president’s office.
At that sight, Lee Min-seong gritted his teeth and put down the cell phone he was holding in his hand to throw at him.
“Anyway, it’s my fault for having that kind of idiot as my secretary.”
This is why hunters were a problem.
Because they are ranked by fighting order, not intelligence order.
However, he was an elite who had been in management even before becoming a hunter.
‘I am different from other hunters. From birth.’
Lee Min-seong gritted his teeth as he thought of the hunters who boasted about their high magical power.

[You have entered the Shadow Dungeon.]
At that time, Suho returned to the Shadow Dungeon with 10 chickens.
The Shadow Dungeon was still quiet as the goblins for the daily quests had not yet respawned.
Perhaps it was because only a day had passed.
“Wow! What is that delicious smell?”
“Khuuung?”
Essil and Gray, who smelled chicken, quickly approached Suho.
Suho handed over all the chickens he brought to Eshil.
“Eat.”
“thank you for this food!”
“Khuuung?”
“Gray, even if you look at me like that, you don’t have anything.”
“… … .”
Gray lowers his head sullenly.
Of course, this time too, Gray had no part.
At that moment, a message from Rakan arrived in front of Suho.
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Monarch, grumbles that what he eats is really lethal.]
Suho protested, saying it was unfair.
“Who said lethal? Gray said that he would grow strong if he ate what he hunted himself. Rakan’s fang said that he would not grow strong if he was spoon-fed to him like a mother bird.”
Besides, the corpses of the goblins that had been caught this time were piled up like a mountain.
The huge amount was enough to keep Gray from starving for a while even if he shared it with Essil.
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Lord, protests that it is true, but doesn’t he feel sorry for Gray, who has never eaten chicken in his life?]
“Hmm.”
When I heard that, I suddenly felt like a really bad person.
In the end, Suho lost.
“Eshill, give Gray a chicken.”
“ah…….”
Eshil made a face like he had lost his country at those words.
In the end, it was heartbreaking to see her handing Gray the lightest box of chicken with trembling hands.
Of course, Essil still had nine left.
However, Gray, who had actually received the chicken box, lowered his body with a venomous look in his eyes and bared his teeth.
“Gurg!”
[No. Don’t hunt. You’re not fighting the chicken.]
Ber looked at the sight with a pitiful look.
And there was a message from someone who was enjoying watching the scene from afar.
[The King of Beasts, the Fang Monarch, nods in satisfaction, saying that he truly is a brave successor.]
“Oh my. You’re so annoying.”
It was Suho who was smiling slyly.
And he left Essil and Gray sitting together happily, sharing a chicken.
This time, I decided to check my abilities after leveling up a lot.
“Status window.”
Then, a long status window suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Status Window]

Ashen ring
“and…….”
Suho had a satisfied expression.
Massive level up and stat increase!
There were also a lot of skills hanging down.
“It was worth all the effort.”
And this time I checked out the newly acquired skill.
[Skill: Strong Strike Lv.1]
Active Skills
Requires 300 mana.
Adds ‘Ruler’s Power’ to your body to amplify your attack power.
This was the skill I learned while delivering the final blow to the tomb spider Arachne.
“Requires 300 mana. It’s a bit strong.”
With the current amount of mana, it was a skill that could not be used twice in a row.
‘The power of the ruler.’
Suho decided to try out the skill as an experiment.
The order was as follows.
First, the ruler’s power is suspended in the air.
Overlapping that invisible hand with your own hand.
Gooooo… … !
Then, a black aura was applied to Suho’s hand.
“oh.”
Suho looked around at his hands, which seemed to be wearing large, translucent black gauntlets.
‘This is the principle of combining the power of the ruler’s hand and my hand.’
Suddenly, the proverb that says even a blank piece of paper is better when held upright came to mind.
This is a skill that increases the attack power by more than 2x, 3x, or 4x by hitting with one hand or by hitting with both hands.
Suho glanced at his mana amount.
[MP: 586]
Considering that the magic power was 10 at level 1, it was a huge amount of mana.
‘If I level up one more time, I’ll be over 600. Then I can use this skill twice in a row.’
It was thrilling just to imagine it.
Suho clenched his fists, revealing his teeth.
And this time I knew for sure.
‘If you want to level up, you have to go into a real dungeon.’
His level had long since surpassed that of the goblins in the Shadow Dungeon.
In order to become stronger, I had to go to places with stronger demons, like this Magok Field.
To do that… … .
‘I guess I should level up my hunter rank.’
Currently, he is an E-rank hunter, so he can only participate in dungeon raids as a miner or collector at best.
Since there are a lot of field-type dungeons like this one in Korea, you have to level up to increase your chances of entering higher level dungeons.
Suho suddenly remembered what the Association Hunter he had met last time had said.
It seems that there was an error in the initial measurement, so it is suggested that you visit the association to have it re-measured.
‘Shall we go?’
Suho decided to go to the association.
