*BOOM*
With a loud explosion, a man flew into the air. After rolling on the floor several times, the man wriggled and raised itself up.
"You shit, how can you be attacked by so little?"
"Sorry!"
"Come back soon!"
At least she was not too unsatisfied that the man did not let go of his shield as he flew, she was yelling but there was no anger in her voice. The shield didn't see any scratches, even though it just took the blow of a six-tier monster head-on. These days, the saying goes that one could eat ramen if they have their shields up.
In fact, some BJ tankers were only tanking with shields and broadcasting.
*SPPLLAASHHH*
A large sword sweeps through the neck of a giant monster in a row.
He did not even load his mana, but the two necks flew away instantly like paper.
"Hung, it's too weak for me, " a man with wispy hair and sunglasses shook his sword sideways and spoke arrogantly. The two necks of 5-tier monsters, which was as strong as a six-tier monster, were divided into two. If he was a true six-star hunter, this arrogance was expected but soon, he had a spicy hand that smashed his back.
"It's weird if you can't cut it with a 9-tier monster claw sword! Don't fool around and go support the others!"
"Ouch! sister! Why did you hit my head!"
"The raid isn't over yet! Can't you keep up?"
"Okay. OK!" The man grumbles and moves quickly to his position."EEEYYAAAAA!"
The giant monster tried to crush him with its weight, but the tall tanker stood on his feet, withholding the assault before he pushed the monster to the side. The crazy effect of 50% additional strength on the shield made this possible.
"Take it!"
"Ouahhh!"
As soon as the monster's neck was exposed, the sword was inserted in its body vertically.
SLASH!
"Kuh uhhhh!"
With half of its neck cut off, the monster roared and tried to stand up. Nevertheless, its attempt ended as soon as the second strike was made.
"KKEEEEE..."
"*gasping*
"... the raid ends..."
"Wow..."
They can't believe it themselves.
Although armed with the best equipment, they did not want to take risks, so they stayed with raiding tier four to five monsters. It used to take 20 to 30 minutes to raid a monster before but now, it didn't even seem like a raid.
It took them four minutes to cut them down.
The 8-tier monster armor purchased from Invincible, as well as the claws of the 9-tier monster bought with the money they squeezed out of the squad, made it feel like it wasn't a raid but a walk in the back of the neighborhood. Drunk to victory, they went in deeper than the original plan and encountered 6 tier monsters like bad luck was on their side. If it was normal, it would not have been strange they were all killed.
But they had slain the 6-tiered monster without any damage. Normally, one would need to have four five-star hunters with tier-five equipment to beat a single tier-six monster.
"I'm losing my mind." Squad's main dealer, Nam-il, carefully held his sword.
Its price was 20 billion won. They could have a loan of 10 billion won from the country but they raided like this for a month, this item could pay for itself like it was nothing.
"Really great." His friend Sun-woo, who flew away from the monster's tail attack a while ago, was busy turning around a shield that had no scratches. Although the paint was peeling off, there were no minor scratches. With their healer's constant treatment, he should be able to fend off even tier-seven monsters. Of course, messing with the seven-tier monsters was not recommended. Tier 7 monsters were medium to large monsters that only attack raids would touch.
"Hey, let's take a rest."
"Sure."
It was a raid that was pursued a little dangerously so the main tanker and leader, Donghu, ordered a break.
"Sang Ah, how far did we come in?"
"D3 area, it's too deep. It will cost us 20% to collect it."
"I can't help it, we didn't expect to meet this here, after all?"
A huge reptile, about 20 tons in weight, laid its body on the ground with its tongue out. The 4-ton monster beside it would look like a pebble compared to it. The monster they just raided was a reptilian monster called, Bluegigas.
Its teeth were armed with poison but that sword, which was made from the claws of a tier-nine monster, had no problem cutting through its body.
"Long live the Invincible"
"Long live what? Hey, we're not the only ones who have this. A lot of these high tier monsters now cost garbage."
"Did you say that China doesn't follow the tariff policy? If they are stubborn, nobody can persuade them."
"Even for a world's factory, that wouldn't work so fast."
"Ehey, then we have to do this shit for a year to pay for it."
It feels great for one to wield a 20 billion won weapon, but because it's sold so much, the prices of by-products were plunging, and that realization was killing their good mood.
"What are you saying? Hey, you are supposed to be dead right now, you should be satisfied with it."
"That's right." At the leader's words, he nodded.
If it was usual, there must have been casualties. It could be himself, his sister Sang Ah, or the leader. However, surviving such attacks, they should thank those who released these kinds of weapons, disregarding its price.
"Will we head southwest tomorrow?"
"We should, this one was almost done too, but never cross the border. The information from the nearby patrols reveals that it's possible that there were foreigners pretending to be villains to steal them some weapons."
"Ugh, Villains..."
After the collapse of the Three Kingdoms, the Republic of Korea's mighty villain was now only the Red Warrior. However, they were not much of a concern because they were inherently very moderate villains.
Villains who were now active in the Republic of Korea or Elus were literally hunters from other countries.
"Now let's go back, I must eat dinner at the gate even if it's late, and take a bath."
Everyone nodded at Sang Ah's words. They got up and started walking slowly. Crossing the Elus and raiding was risky, but today's hunt enabled them to earn several billion wons.

"Hook! Invincible progress!"
Everything was caught up in a lightning streak that soon started to burst into circles that smashed and bounced around his surroundings.
Thump... thump thump...
Tss tss tsss tsss tss
The lightning began to gather and rotate and soon, it began to crack, which was then followed by a heavy sound.
Tututu... tututu...
The things that went up to the air started falling one by one, and a giant with a long beard was catching his breath in the midst of it.
"Hoowook... wook... hoooo..." He let out a long sigh, fixing his posture and slowly controlling his breath.
"You're great"
Jaehwang sat by Kwon Je. Originally, in the morning, Jaehwang started the morning by jogging but nowadays, he starts his morning gymnastics with Kwonje. Of course, that morning gymnastics was not the kind of quiet morning gymnastics that people think but was strong forces running around and being thrown off to the surrounding terrain.
"Okay, this should be enough to send 9-tier monsters away in one shot."
There was a huge pit about 20m deep and the sparks that came up were not yet radiating. It was about the size of a five-story building, but there was no joy in the face of the person who made the pit.
Kwon Je had long passed the competence level in that skill but he just had small enlightenment, so he placed his power into the Astrafe again. This was the result of it. If the previous invincibility progress was a radial storm, this current one dug straight down vertically.
"That's enough to severely damage a tier-10 monster, " Jaehwang nodded and said, but Kwon Je shook his head.
"No, it's still far. It must be completely separated from the invincible progress to complete it."
Kwon Je's Invincible progress was a whopping class of unique skills.
The first start was a special grade and the ultimate skill made unique by using the enlightenment and skill upgrade rights... derived from there would be a unique class of the same grade. If one were to make it so easy, then he/she was a wizard and a fake character.
"I think you're rushing things."
"Impatience is poison in practice, but I can't help it if I think about the Dark Earth monster you showed. At least before that, I wish I had jumped over a wall..." Kwon Je sighed. Before, he did not have a clear goal but now, he has right in front of his eyes.
Naturally, he introduces himself as a demigod, a grandson who first dried his endless struggle, his grandson he hated but could not hate.
"When would I finish..." Kwon Je said like a complaint.
It was not being caught. But he did not think of Jaehwang by his side.
"Well, it's a technique to compensate for the invincible progression..."
Jaehwang was the real wizard and the fake character. He opened his status window and grabbed a page that he barely found.
"Hmm, " Jaehwang gave him a small groan.
Dipping a finger in the vast river of knowledge was risky for even a half-god, such as himself.
The river also had ferocious fish. Their identity was still unknown. He only knew that it was a sentient being. They were the watchmen who guarded the vast river of knowledge.
If they weren't thoroughly defensive, the unauthorized intruder would have been quite defeated. Jaehwang, of course, quickly removed his finger before they flocked. Luckily, the information he wanted was caught successfully.
"Grandfather..."
"Well?" Kwon Je, who was in misery until Jaehwang called him, looked back with questionable eyes. Normally, the grandson who never talked at this time had spoken.
"The firewalls in the save system were quite high. You may pass by in a moment. You should read it quickly."
"Huh?" Kwon Je expressed his doubt, but Jaehwang reached out and grabbed his wrist without saying a word.
It was also his first time to transfer information to others.
"Ugh?"
Jaehwang pushed a handful of information, which he had just picked up, into Kwon Je's status window.
It was about a skill.
It's not a format that was inserted in one's head. It feels like a pretty thick book spreading through one's head once. Nevertheless, once the book was over, it could not be reversed. As the grandson said, he only had one chance.
Kwon Je focused on deciphering all the mental powers and when it all disappeared, Kwon Je whispered its name with a grin of low sighs.
"Wuji Firework Technique..."
"Do you think it will help?" Jaehwang asked.
What he has grabbed was a martial arts technique from the ancient times of Korea.
And it was only part of it. However, even that, was a miracle to Kwon Je.
"Huh, huh..." Kwon Je burst into laughter.
It was a completely different martial art from the invincible progress, but it seems to be more helpful. It could work complementary with his skill. Anyway, the martial art was a full circle. If one were to try this, something would still be gained.
It was then, from a distance, Irumi came running like she was flying. It's quite far, but her expression didn't look good. Jaehwang approached Irumi as she might hinder the enlightenment of Kwon Je.
When stopped, Irumi controlled her breathing.
"Is there a problem?"
"The Baeklin you have spoken of has returned."
"!!" Jaehwang's eyes widened.
Finally, the long-awaited man has returned. The one who holds the key to solving all of this. However, Jaehwang started running at Irumi's last words.
"But his condition is strange. It's like a corpse..."
