(Chapter 55)

Soon, Yoo Jin-Ho with his cousin, Yoo Soo-Hyun, arrived in the guild entrance.

"Hyung Shyr!"

Yoo Jin-Ho shouted as he waves his hand and run towards Shyrveen and co.

"Long time no see, Jin-Ho, Soo-Hyun."

"Welcome back, Hyung-nim."

Yoo Soo-Hyun bows as she greets Shyrveen then looks at the new two individual faces before bowing too to them.

'Chinese?...'

"Come in, everyone!"

Yoo Jin-Ho said happily while unlocking the door with his keys and switch the lights on.

Yang Manli and Han Sen didn't open their mouths first and only listened to the conversation of Shyrveen with his guildmates.

After a few minutes, Shyrveen introduced the four of them to each other and gave the forms for Yang Manli and Han Sen to fill up in the Korean Language except for their names.

While they're doing so, Shyrveen glances at Yoo Jin-Ho.

"By the way, Jin-Ho."

"Yes, Hyung-nim?"

"Do we have any high-rank Magical Core here?"

Yoo Jin-Ho shakes his head to respond but told Shyrveen the thing that related to the cores.

He was thinking again for what Shyrveen will do again to the crystal, because he didn't get a piece of news to the first one that Shyrveen borrowed.

'Not that I'm really concern about it... Just curious though...'

"We don't have, Hyung-nim... Only the Magic Crystals are here. Why Hyung-nim?"

Shyrveen thought for a few seconds, tried to solved the first mystery, and decided to try the crystal since they have Mana too.

'... But the creature was a defective... Is it because it played with the Mana wrongly?... That should be the reason... Who will dare to consume crystals?... I should have known. Damn...'

"... Can you fetch one piece for me? No, make it two."

"Okay, Hyung-nim!"

Yoo Jin-Ho went to the storage room where he stored the crystals from Sung Jin-Woo's casual raiding three weeks ago.

And he thought that he will get a new knowledge from this weird Hyung that will show him again something new.

Thinking like this, he feels more joy and happily skipping on his way towards the storage room.

After seeing the joyful young man disappeared on the sight, Shyrveen looks at Yoo Soo-Hyun and asked about that thing.

"So... How's the thing with Jin-Woo."

Yoo Soo-Hyun blushes but clutches her head afterward, knowing that Shyrveen is so casual about this while.

'Add that there are two strangers too... Huhuhu... Hyung-nim!...'

She complains in her mind and begs with her eyes to make Shyrveen change the topic but she saw Shyrveen that's still staring at her without a change in his expression, and she can feel the curiosity within the eyes of Yang Manli and Han Sen too.

"Ugh! Hyung... I... I tried but he's too dense..."

Then she heard a replied from Shyrveen for making her confuse for either she will cry or laugh about it.

"... No, I don't think so... It's more like that he's trying to be one."

"..."

'Hyung... Mercy please!'

Which Shyrveen did and cheers her up from the brink of crying out loud.

"Just try and try, alright?"

"... Alright..."

She sniffs and looks at the two foreigners and said to them.

"And... If you two have any questions you can ask me."

"We will."

Yang Manli and Han Sen nodded.

Yang Manli felt a little jealousy earlier from seeing another woman near her beloved but it was gone after listening to their conversation earlier.

'Nice! She wasn't charmed~ Good, good, good...'

While Han Sen is just more excited at seeing the said Magic Crystal than the love affairs of Yoo Soo-Hyun.

While gesturing with his two hands that he can't wait anymore but still trying to control himself.

'After I reached the awakened status, I'll have an Innate Ability too!... Within the sanctuary and the Alliance... Except for brother Shyr, I and Manli are the only ones who have this Mana to use Magics! How exciting!... Well, I really don't know about those people who have Innate Abilities that can be compared to Magics...'

As Han Sen was thinking about this, Yoo Jin-Ho reappears in the corner of the hallway and shouted to get the attention of Shyrveen.

"Hyung! Here's the crystals. These are from C-Rank Red Gate from the past."

Shyrveen received the crystals and started to feel the Mana inside and within a second he found out that they're purer than the Magical Cores, but he doesn't know if it's safe just like the Mana inside of the Magical Core.

"Want to try?"

He glances at Yang Manli and Han Sen that nodded and he pointed for the two to get inside the conference suite and started cultivating the Mana.

"Sure!"

That made the Yoo kids confused and followed the two with their eyes and looks back to Shyrveen.

Yoo Jin-Ho wants to ask about it but Shyrveen opened his mouth faster than him.

"Soo-Hyun, can you be a dear and switch on the television?"

Yoo Soo-Hyun was confused about why Shyrveen requested such a thing but still, she follows it and went to fetch the remote on the table where the television is.

With enough distance, Shyrveen pulls out the lunchboxes from the inventory that containing the new Ordinary meats for Yoo Jin-Ho and whispered to him.

'Here's your meal, and this one is for her but it doesn't have that thing so it's fine as long as you don't mix and messed up with it. Just tell me if you reached 100...'

'Okay, Hyung-nim. Don't worry, I won't! Thank you very much!'

Yoo Jin-Ho's hands can't stop trembling and his eyes can't stop staring at it but he is trying his best not to slip for just to waste the meal inside the lunchbox.

'My preeciiiooouuus~'

Shyrveen blinks after seeing the contorted face of Yoo Jin-Ho but decided to let it be.

He knows the feeling and he stands up to go inside the conference room to check the statuses of both cultivators inside.

And the first person who opens the eyes was Yang Manli, she smiled at Shyrveen and reported the good news.

"... It feels the same... And there's nothing weird or different from the Magical Cores, darling~"

"Is that so?... Alright, continue doing that while I'll make some appointments to raid some Gates to fetch some crystals and cores on the way."

"Got it~"

Both nodded and went back to cultivation and Shyrveen closed the door.

He went to take a seat on the couch and watched the news for several hours and after knowing what's happening in Japan now, he told the two Yoos.

"Soo-Hyun, can you get some appointment for C to A-Rank Gate? Anywhere will be fine."

"And Jin-Ho, try calling the Hunter's Association for me and set an appointment too with the chairman. I want to ask him something for Magical Cores and something personal but it seems he's too busy."

He said as he waves his cellphone for Yoo Jin-Ho to see.

As Yoo Jin-Ho and Yoo Soo-Hyun opens their mouth to respond.

Shyrveen stands up so hurriedly and went to look to a certain place outside of the window.

'Move, Shyr! I can feel a familiar presence! Go over there, fast!'

'... You sure?'

'Of course! Why would I lie!? Go! Go! Go!'

'...'

Shyrveen marched towards the entrance to go outside and didn't forget to tell them.

"Cancel that attempts appointments, something came up."

But only for Shyrveen to hear the voice of his girlfriend and sworn brother from his behind.

"You will not go without me, darling..."

"I'm with you too, brother Shyr..."

Noticing the determination to their eyes even with the confusion for why he is like this again.

"... Alright."

Shyrveen nodded and let them be, he summoned Apollyon outside and everyone in the perimeter saw an uprising eastern dragon towards the sky.

The Infant Chinese dragon became a complete adult Chinese Dragon after becoming a Super Beast Soul 1 Star, with two front legs, two hind legs, two long whiskers, and two big horns on its head.

Apollyon's scales are shining with black, red, and blue hues after making contact with the sunlight.

His body length is outstandingly stretching up to forty meters and has a width of twenty meters.

Apollyon is swimming in the clouds before going down on the ground again to fetch the three people.

Shyrveen, Yang Manli, and Han Sen jumps on its back and Apollyon flew towards the horizon in a blink of an eye with the order of Shyrveen.

Yoo Jin-Ho and her cousin were stunned and hurriedly tried to catch up to them but only to widen their eyes after seeing them disappeared just like that.

"Hyung-nim!... How... about... us?..."

With the feeling of helplessness, Yoo Jin-Ho heard his cousin asking him.

"... Where do you think they will go?"

That made him scratch his head as his mind is in jumbled, but he realized something and went inside hastily again.

"I don't know-... Wait! That's Hyung that we're talking about! Help me find the Gates within that way, we might found out where they will go."

'There might be another dungeon break and Hyung-nim detected it!?'

Yoo Soo-Hyun feels that something is wrong when she finally sees the worried face of her cousin and agreed before typing furiously on her keyboard.

"Okay!"

Shyrveen knows that he can use Deisy to hide their bodies while traversing the sky but he didn't dare to gamble doing that in time like this.

'I can only meld with one of them but meddling with the Super Beast Souls and two or more is already above my limits... Add that Irveen is hurrying me to go somewhere...'

'It's not somewhere! It's the same school ground where the Orcs went into prison break from their Gate! Faster, Shyr! We might arrive too late!'

'... What's wrong? How you can tell so accurately!...'

'A presence of Death Element is leaking from one of the dungeons, and don't forget that I can see what you can see!...

And it's not the Soul Shard of Eggie but from one of the Monarchs! If you can consume it, you won't have any problems breaking through the first Gene Lock of the Supreme Geno Art from the Death Soul Shard once you acquired it!'

'... But... Sung Jin-Woo is the only person I can think of that related to Death Element...'

'Don't be a moron! It's our way to get stronger against Eggie!'

'... That... No. That's his power. I'll help him to obtain it but I won't snatch it from him.'

'Arg! You fucker! You're too soft!!!'

'Shut up... I'll only do that if Jin-Woo is being overwhelmed by this so-called Monarch...'

'Shit!!! Get the fuck out there and I'll control the body!'

'... Try it yourself... And are you not worried for Eggie that he will take advantage of your lack of presence there?...'

'This!... You shithead... Arg!!! Fuck! Do what you like!!!'

"Darling?"

Yang Manli finally asked Shyrveen after hearing him clicking his tongue.

"... Irveen said that there's a movement now from the higher beings in this universe, and that's where we will go... And I think my friend here is currently dealing with it but it seems that something is not quite right for Irveen can still feel the said leaks of the Death Element."

"... Irveen?"

Han Sen asked back for he don't know about this.

"This so-called 'Good soul' within me..."

"That's..."

Han Sen was speechless because this is the first time hearing a person with multiple personalities.

Yang Manli stared at Han Sen and somehow can think what's running on his head and elaborated for Shyrveen's sake.

"It's okay if that's the case, but it is not... They are not his personalities, but different entities that trying to control each other and darling is trying to join in the fray soon because if he didn't, he might be consumed in the middle of two powerful souls' fight within his mind instead..."

Han Sen can't or doesn't know how to think, feel, react, or whatever will be the right response to this.

Knowing that his sworn brother has difficulties too inside his mind, excludes the other things that he got to know about him from the past.

The only thing he can think is.

'Brother Shyr is one a hell of a guy... He can still be so sane, except for his lack of emotional things, against these shits...'

At the school ground.

A Hunter's jaw from the Monitoring Division drop after seeing the big eastern dragon that is currently flying towards them in the midst of clouds on the sky.

Soon he wakes up from his trance and panicky dials the number of Hunter's Association's Chairman to report about this.

But after a few seconds, he stops his fingers from continuing so after he saw three silhouettes of human standing and riding on the eastern dragon.

"The Dragon's Summoner is here!!!"

He thanked the gods that someone will be another help to go inside this outrageous Gate that won't stop making him worried and scared.

It's so nerve-racking to him while waiting here and imagining that in no time, that this dungeon will spew out monsters because the Hunters inside failed.

As it's already been an hour that the two S-Rank Hunters, Choi Jong-In and Cha Hae-In with other A-Rank Hunters of Hunter's Guild and addition for the Chief of Korean Hunter's Association's Monitoring Division, Woo Jin-Cheol with few members, that went inside the Gate to follow and help the S-Rank Hunter Sung Jin-Woo in the Double Dungeon...
