Chapter 132: Wrath: Currently Under Control

The situation at the Red Gate in the Mapo district really looks astonishing. Actually, at a glance, there was nothing strange about the scene where the hunters were fighting the white wolves.

However, upon closer inspection, Ji-woo looked ostracized by some hunters, even though they were both fighting the beasts.

It was as if he had forgotten that just a moment before, those hunters were on the verge of death. But now, they were acting childish, not accepting being treated like a burden.

What Ji-woo said earlier didn’t really mean that, but he had no problem if they interpreted it that way.

In the fight, Ji-woo handled all the white wolves that moved aggressively. He was more like the one who cleaned up the ones that the hunters missed and ended up being the one who killed the beasts the most.

Meanwhile, the hunters could only kill three or four, except for Dal-shik. He himself took care of the white wolves almost as smoothly as Ji-woo did.

“Hey, snotty brat, who are you? Which guild are you from?”

No matter how displeased Dal-shik was with Ji-woo’s earlier words, his eyes would not turn blind to see what Ji-woo did to the white wolves.

It wasn’t a strength that belonged to an A-rank hunter. At least Ji-woo was in the same rank as Dal-shik. That was, according to his observations. But he knew all the South Korean S-rank hunters, and Ji-woo’s face was clearly new. That was why he asked such a question.

However, Ji-woo ignored the question and glanced behind him while attacking the white wolves that came at him.

‘Hey! He was so arrogant just because he had that much power. He thought he was the only one who could turn his head while killing these wolves? I also could! What a show-off brat!’

Suddenly, the movements of the dozens of white wolves just stopped, and Dal-shik instantly seized that chance by killing them with one fell swoop.

He didn’t expect that there was a hunter who could stop the movement of the beasts, making it easier for him to attack the beasts. He turned to the side, thinking that Ji-woo was the one helping him. But, that expectation immediately got dismissed by Ji-woo, who shrugged his shoulders with an expressionless face.

Dal-shik frowned, and soon Dal-soo appeared before him. Come to think of it, only one hunter in South Korea had the blue invisibility thread ability, and that was the Godly Doctor.

“I came just to take a look.”

“What!? Why? With you here, we will clear up those hundreds of white wolves that keep coming out of the Red Gate in no time. You saw for yourself there, didn’t you?”

Dal-shik got taken aback by Dal-soo’s statement. He hoped that Dal-soo would come as reinforcements and help him withstand the beasts’ onslaught.

Dal-soo looked in the direction where Ji-woo was standing. And answered Dal-shik’s words. “With me here.” He shook his head to stop and then continued. “No. We are all useless here. Those streams of beasts will not stop as long as the Red Gate is not closed.”

“What do you mean?”

“We should all spread out and quickly leave this place to find the Dungeon Owner. Chairman Yu and dozens of lower-ranked hunters are currently on the hunt.”

Dal-shik showed his displeasure. “Heh! Your words are almost the same as that little brat over there. If we all leave, who will take care of these beasts? Do you want them to spread out and chase the civilians outside the blockade walls? Isn’t it?!”

Dal-soo then pointed at Ji-woo. “That little brat you’re referring to is the one who will take care of this place.”

“Hahaha. Since when are you able to joke? This isn’t the time for that!”

“I’m really serious about that,” Dal-soo answered with a solemn expression and tone.

Dal-shik narrowed his eyes. With Dal-soo being so serious about his statement, he couldn’t help but want to get angry about it.

“We don’t have time to argue over matters like this. Why don’t you just believe what I say? If there are civilian casualties because of this, I’ll be the one responsible for it. You don’t have to worry.”

“Fine! I don’t know your plan is a suitable solution or not. But, if the situation gets out of hand. It’s all your fault!”

Dal-shik couldn’t help but agree with Dal-soo and clenched his teeth. From everything Dal-soo had said, he only recognized the part that they didn’t have time to fight and should close the Red Gate immediately.

Pada akhirnya, Dal-soo berhasil menyuruh semua pemburu yang ada di Gerbang Merah untuk mencari keberadaan Pemilik Penjara bawah tanah.

“I’ll leave all this to you alone, Ji-woo~si. I’m sorry for this.”

“It’s fine. This is better for me. While I’m taking care of the beasts here, I’ll leave as soon as the Red Gate closes. You guys take care of the aftermath later.”

Dal-soo nodded and agreed with Ji-woo’s plan. He had no problem with that. With Ji-woo in front of the Red Gate, he was sure that not a single beast would escape his reach.

It was also the first time he had felt the presence of one person capable of taking the place of a hundred hunters. It was a solution for the Hunter Association’s weakness, which always lacked people to keep its civilians from calamity.

Everything would be perfect as he imagined if only Ji-woo would lend his hands every time a Red Gate appeared in South Korea.

Not long after, all the hunters had left the Red Gate. And Ji-woo had to move back and forth to clean up the hundreds of disorganized white wolves.

“Sigh. This is more troublesome than I thought. Let’s end this parade quickly.”

“The curse of my soul, Nullifier!”

Zap, Zap–

Two pieces of light emerged in Ji-woo’s palm. Out of nowhere, two short swords with one-sided blades appeared. One was sky blue and amethyst, and the other was denim and black.

“Alright. Diffusal Blade and Shadow Blade, it’s time to banish the magic from here.”

Ji-woo’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he moved quickly towards the white wolves. Every swing of his arms would cause the heads of the beasts to shatter.

He smiled gently, and the veins on his forehead were visible as he slaughtered the white wolves. Now that he was alone. He didn’t need to hold back anymore and freely let go of his exasperation.

“Hyung! I brought dozens of white wolves roaming the district here. Now, what’s next?”

Ji-woo finds out about Dong-hyun’s arrival. And when he heard the scream, he immediately left the white wolves that were close to the Red Gate. He then headed towards Dong-hyun quickly.

“Get down.”

Dong-hyun got surprised and widened his eyes at what Ji-woo said. But, on reflex, he immediately lowered his head as ordered.

Ji-woo swung the Diffusal Blade in his left hand. And several white wolves that were charging at the front got slashed mercilessly. It didn’t stop there. He then swung the Shadow Blade up and down, causing a burst of shock waves at the rest of the white wolves that got lured by Dong-hyun.

Kaboom!

Dong-hyun, who saw that, was so shocked that he had goosebumps. It was the first time he had seen Ji-woo fight with two short swords. And with just one look, he could tell the quality of the two weapons was top-notch.

He gulped and wanted to ask what he should do next. But Ji-woo swiftly jumped over his head. When he turned around, he saw hundreds of beasts rushing towards him.

“Go. Find the white wolves that roam around and bring them here like before.”

Dong-hyun immediately nodded vigorously and left the Red Gate area.

Ji-woo, who ran towards the hundreds of white wolves who were also charging at him, roared and spread his arms. He increased his speed nimbly and instantly pushed the beast horde away like he was deflecting a bullet from a machine gun.

The bodies of the white wolves that got crushed by Ji-woo’s two short swords fell to the ground in succession. And within ten minutes, he slew hundreds of those beasts so that none remained and turned the Red Gate area into a sea of blood.

He then sat opposite the Red Gate and looked at it thoughtfully. “None shall hinder me from making this place free of the Portal Gates!”

On the other hand, Dal-shik asked Dal-soo about Ji-woo on their way to find the werewolf.

“What was that just now? Is he an acquaintance of yours? What rank is he? Is he a member of the Demigod guild?

“I can feel that little brat is quite strong despite not being able to sense Mana from his body.”

Dal-soo chuckled when he heard Dal-shik’s inquiry. One breath and several questions have come out.

“I know him, that’s true. However, we are not close to each other. As for his rank, I don’t know myself. And, he is indeed a member of the Demigod guild. Perhaps for now.”

“Hm!? How do you entrust something to someone you don’t really know!? So reckless!

“Wait! You said earlier he’s a member of the guild, but only for now? What do you mean?”

Dal-soo took a deep breath and gazed ahead, not wanting to explain any further about Ji-woo. What was important now was that everything was under control.
