SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 945 Dungeon Break [Pt 1]



Chapter 945 Dungeon Break [Pt 1]

?

"Your lodging will be in the Hunter Association Headquarters, but do not worry. We have prepared the finest suite for the two of you, worthy of even the VIPs that we receive as guests."

I didn't trust Director Baek's words. Considering how well they spoke of Aloe, and the assumption that we weren't inferior to her, it was only natural that the Hunter Association went this far for us.

"We assumed that the two of you would prefer staying together, so we prepared a three-room suite. It's grand, with..."

As Director Baek kept explaining more about the suite, my thoughts were elsewhere.

Slowly, a smile formed on my face, and my gaze tilted backward.

'Looks like it's about time...'

"PLEASE WAIT!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind us.

It was a familiar tone, though it lacked the finesse and calmness that I previously attributed to it.

We all turned in response to the man who called for us, witnessing an elderly man who was sweating as he looked at us.

"C-Chairman?!" Director Baek looked in surprise, while Kuzon also seemed a bit surprised by this development.

It was to be expected, considering the length he went to in order to keep his dignity as Chairman, and the pride of the Hunter Association.

To think such a man would look so ragged now was something one could consider unexpected.

"The Gates... there is a new development..." Despite talking about Hunter business, Chairman Sung's gaze was on Kuzon and I, though—specifically me.

"What do you mean by that sir?"

"A Dungeon Break. An S Class one!"

Director Baek instantly stiffened as soon as he heard this. His body shook considerably, and sweet appeared on his face.

"I didn't get a beep on my device, so that means it isn't in Seoul. T-then—"

"It's in Busan. I've already informed the Hunters here to begin preparations for backup, but... we won't get there nearly on time."

It was no wonder the Chairman was worried. This was a catastrophe!

"Why are you telling us this?" Kuzon's voice leaked out, his deadpan expression once again giving away the fact that he didn't care.

"P-please... help us. I know it's shameless for me to ask you of this, but please. Please help us this once."

From the grave tone of the Chairman, the Hunters in Busan weren't strong enough to handle an S Class Dungeon Break by themselves.

His earlier explanation also gave the impression that the Hunters were already spread too thin. Most of them would be in Dungeons, or getting treatment after venturing into a Dungeon. That meant they would be highly understaffed.

'Plus, there's only one S Class Hunter left in Korea.'

That already spelled doom for Busan. In such a situation, I could understand why the Chairman was so worried.

'In this world, while they have fast means of transportation, there's no Teleportation.' In fact, Magic didn't really exist here.

Just Special Abilities.

"Fine. We'll help you." I finally spoke, realizing there wasn't really any point in wasting time deliberating on the matter.

My mind had long been made up.

"What do you think, Kuzon? Should I go alone?" I smiled at my dear Midas partner.

"Haa, whatever. I'll come along. I want to experience this S Class Dungeon Break myself anyway."

I smiled at him, glad he took me up on my offer. Kuzon was a very fickle individual, who simply did whatever he wanted to do.

So far he had been very cooperative. That was a very big relief.

"Alright, then. Let's go."

Utilizing the Arcana Spell of [The Tower], which I had already mastered without the use of my Original Magic, I instantly created a blue warp in space around me and Kuzon.

"See you guys soon."

>VWUUUMMM<

And so, with the warbling hum, Kuzon and I vanished from the premises.

'Ah, I forgot to ask for the coordinates...' I found my thoughts trailing as we traversed through space.

Well, it didn't really matter. I already knew where we were heading.

"T-they really are amazing..." Chairman Sung whispered, seeing how the two beings were right in front of him one second, and the next, they were already long gone.

He was in sincere awe.

"What should we do now, Chairman?"

"Inasmuch as we trust those two, we have to play our part. We are still the Hunter Association of Korea. Gather the Hunters that are available, and prepare the equipments we require. Even if it's danger control, or backup, we need to help out in one way or the other."

Chairman Sung didn't want to seem like a helpless pushover in front of their heroes.

'Besides, we need to at least make some effort into trying to help, else it will appear suspicious.'

In the end, Jared Leonard and Kuzon Midas were unaffiliated with the Hunter Association.

That made them completely private individuals.

"As the Association that protects the public, we must play our part."

It was with this rationale that Chairman Sung and Director Beak moved into action, determined to do whatever they could to save the people of Busan.

[Shopping District, Busan, South Korea]

"Hold the fort!"

"Don't let them get past the barricade!"

"Tch! They're too strong!"

"Where's backup?"

"On their way!"

"We need more hands on deck!"

"KEUK!!!"

"ARRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The shouts and screams of the Hunters of Busan echoed loudly in the particularly populate district where the Dungeon Break had unfortunately manifested.

Usually Gates had to have been active for a week before Dungeon Breaks occured, but recently, there had been strange cases of Dungeon Breaks that defied this rule.

The S Class Dungeon Break before them was one of such.

"We're still evacuating the citizens. Don't let up on the barrier!" The leader of the assault team yelled, his sharp gaze on the influx of monsters that were pouring out of the large Gate in front of them.

Despite his energetic words of optimism, even he knew it was impossible to win in this situation.

'Are we all going to die here?'
