Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 197

Chapter 197

I was astounded at the figure of him pointing his spear at me while crumpling his expression fiercely but I answered while maintaining my calm .

“I’m the owner of this dungeon . ”

“The owner?”

He snorted as if astounded .

I turned my sight to the vicinity of the Red Hole where the hunters were on standby .

“To make a settlement in front of another person’s house . This is quite absurd . ”

“What the hell is this guy talking about? This place is under our control so get the hell out if you don’t want to die!”

“That’s what I should be saying though?”

It was originally a level 3 dungeon . However, I changed it to a level 11 one before setting off .

If there was someone in there, it wouldn’t immediately change to a level 11 . The dungeon has to be cleared or reset for the level to change after all .

However, once the dungeon gets reset, it turns into hell itself .

Looking at them, they seemed to mostly be level 5 .

The number was about 50 . Calculating those in the dungeon, there were probably up to 80 . This was a pretty large scale on the level of a small mid level raid team .

The province of Pyeongyang wouldn’t care in particular since they sold it to me so they were planning on taking over this place using that gap .

They had probably gathered items like crazy these past few days .

I took out the documents on dungeon rights from my bag . I brought them just in case there would be guys like this so it was all good timing .

The moment I handed it to them, a slight commotion occurred among them .

There were no problems in the documents . Of course, they probably don’t have the ability to distinguish whether this is real or fake but since my attitude was confident, it couldn’t be helped that they were in chaos .

“Your name is Jeon Sang-min……?”

The person that seemed to be the leader approached and returned the documents .

His name was Seo Jong-beom .

He was a tanker type hunter that used a broadsword and level 7 armor .

Most tankers possessed an important role in their team so I was thinking that he might be this raid team’s leader .

“My name is on the document . ”

“Cheh . Arrogant bastard . But how would we trust this document?”

“Call the Pyeongyang City Hall if you’re in doubt . Or are you going to retreat after getting beaten up?”

Seo Jung-beom’s expression twitched at my words .

There was no way they would do so . I didn’t know how many days they had stayed here for but they probably got quite a few items .

This place was currently a level 3 dungeon . It hadn’t been upgraded to a level 11 dungeon yet and I was planning on raising it before entering so it was probably a pretty good place to hunt .

There was no way they would be willing to step back just because the owner came .

On top of that, this side only had two people so they thought it might be fine to take care of them quietly .

I had seen too many of such people so it wasn’t a particularly strange thing .

“Hm…… Wait a bit . ”

I confirmed Seo Jong-beom’s eyes turn cold .

I thought that I would have to do some work even if it’s troublesome .

Edward opened his mouth while they were talking with Seo Jong-beom at the center .

“I think I know how things are going to go at this point . What are you going to do about them? Kill them?”

“I’m thinking about that as well . It’s tiring for me to kill someone each time something like this happens too . ”

I could kill no matter how many if they were monsters .

But things change if they are people . If it was the past when I lacked strength I would have had no choice but to put my life on the line to kill them but I now possessed the power to take care of them with a single finger .

Even if I didn’t step up myself, it would be taken care of if I released the monster army .

Whether they died or lived all depended on how my mind moved .

I didn’t like killing people so easily .

However, I couldn’t just send them off like that . I had a police aquaintance called Son Aram so it might work out if I hand them over to her but this was North Korea in the first place .

Also, although I didn’t check, there was a high chance that they were Chinese citizens that lived in North Korea .

Even if I handed them to the police, it was uncertain whether they would help a foreigner like me . Especially when the relationship between our countries wasn’t good they might try to take my rights .

“As expected, I think the cleanest method is to kill them . ”

Edward said .

I didn’t want to agree but that was the only method they wouldn’t cause a problem .

I felt that it might be good to have a private prison . It would be perfect if I could buy one from the store but it didn’t come out well .

Seo Jong-beom approached after concluding the short meeting .

“Did you come to a conclusion?”

“Ah . We don’t know if it really is your property but we decided to pull back for now . ”

“That’s unexpected . ”

“Well, we did work hard for a few days so we thought that it was time to rest . ”

Seo Jung-beom said so and turned back .

I had to wait for those in the dungeon to come out so I took a seat with Edward and took a rest .

Edward opened his mouth .

“It seems to have been solved well . However, I feel like they’re up to something . ”

“They might be trying to say otherwise once their comrades return . I don’t care either way though . ”

“That might be so . I will go survey the surroundings for a bit . ”

He went on his scouting duty without being told to .

It seems being called useless has been rather shocking to him . I said that it wasn’t the truth but it seems it wasn’t of much help .

He was a pretty helpful guy . I had good eyes but I didn’t have good perception and that part was covered by Edward . There was a reason I was taking around a guy .

It was to the point where I could feel Soo-ah being jealous of Edward after all .

Edward left and I searched the Delta Store .

I had gotten a huge amount of EP when I infiltrated the Alpha system before .

The amount of EP I currently had amounted to almost 5,000 . On top of that, the item list had been unlocked up to level 7 so there were quite a few new items .

The things I usually looked through was the utility items .

Most of these didn’t drop in Red Holes . It could be said that they were the store’s exclusive items so they were items with great rarity .

The main products would definitely be the van and the related expansion items . The Space Expansion Marble was also an expansion item of the van .

I was looking through the new items to see if there was anything good but there were quite a few that caught my eye .

Long Distance Transmitter (0) : Able to communicate regardless of distance . Able to use by attaching to original module .

It was a finger sized device but it could be used as a wireless Egg and I could use it to call or use the internet when attached to a phone . It didn’t go through a base station or satellite so there was no need to pay a separate fee .

Of course, it wasn’t like that was the extent of its advantages . It could not only be used regardless of location, it could also be used in a place waves didn’t reach .

It meant that it was possible to use deep underground or even in dungeons .

If I distributed this to my teammates, it would be possible to contact each other even in extreme situations bringing up survivability rate .

“Hm……?”

I was looking through the other items as well when a certain equipment caught my eye .

It wasn’t a utility item but a weapon, but it had quite a usable option .

Dimension Sword (7) : When a critical hit is done, it does not kill the target but send it flying to an unspecified location .

It did say unspecified but it wasn’t like it sent it to space or underground or a place hundreds of meters above the ground .

It was limited to a place on the ground . Just that, it might end up on Antarctica if one had bad luck so there was nothing I could do about that .

It was a good weapon for those I didn’t want to kill but could just leave alone .

The price was about 700 EP .

To be honest, it wasn’t a cheap price .

It was to the point where I wondered if I had to pay such a price to save those guys .

However, thinking about it another way it was an item I needed . It was the best weapon for those that I didn’t entirely want to kill or those that would leave me with a bad aftertaste .

After pondering, I put it into my wishlist for now .

There might be a situation where I need it after all .

A while later, Edward returned .

His face seemed a bit excited . It felt like he saw something fun .

“What is it? That face . ”

“Ah ah . I saw something interesting you see . ”

“What is it . ”

“There were other hunters at the bottom of the mountain . ”

“Other hunters?”

“Yeah . It seems there were other guys aiming for this location . I could see them crawling up . ”

“Their numbers?”

“Almost a hundred?”

I pointed at Seo Jong-beom as I opened my mouth .

“Are they allies of that guy?”

“Probably . They have the same crest . ”

“So they called for reinforcements while buying time . ”

I finally realized why Seo Jung-beom fell back so easily .

Another thing, I think they didn’t realize who I was yet .

Especially for guys that led raid teams, information was life itself . It might be different for others but there’s a chance that Seo Jung-beom knows me .

Otherwise, it didn’t make sense that they would bring close to 200 people to take down two people .

“There are too many people with good heads in the world . The problem is that they use their head in bad ways . ”

If there was something he didn’t know, it would be that I’m incredibly strong and the fact that this dungeon has been upgraded to level 11 already .

Even if I left this place, it would be impossible for them to hunt here .

It would be fortunate if they didn’t get annihilate the moment they entered .

I thought up to that point when the entrance of the dungeon vibrated lightly as people came out .

As it had been a level 3 dungeon, there didn’t seem to be much damage . It couldn’t be helped that there were a few that were dripping blood but it was good considering hundreds of monsters came out .

I got up from the seat and went towards Seo Jung-beom .

He turned to me as well as if having been checking on me .

He opened his mouth first .

“We will leave without you pressing us . ”

“You . You know who I am right?”

“Are you someone I should know?”

“It’s fine if you don’t . By the way . Can I request something?”

“Requet?”

“I would like you to tell the ones below not to come up . ”

“Wh, what are you…… . ”

“The warning is only once . If you leave without doing something stupid I will let you go this once . ”

“Hm…… I got it . ”

Seo Jung-beom nodded and left .
