Chapter 51: S-ranks Gathering
Chapter 51: S-ranks Gathering
—------------
5 days later.
[Korea Hunters Association]
"The mutant Ant that appeared recently was defeated in a single day. It was discovered on a small island next to the region where it was exterminated." Chief Woo Jinchul reported. When a big red ant was projected infront of executives of the Association.
Chief Jinchul, reported everything he got from the report. When, the executives solemnly listen to the report.
"So, Long story short. It will take atleast one A-rank Hunter to atleast take down one of this mutant Ant?" one executive said. While Chairman Gunhee carefully thought.
'Those ants from Jeju Island are mutating. We must do something, otherwise they will be too tough to fight.' Go Gunhee thought.
Soon, the meeting came to an end. Everyone left the room with a sigh.
"I have a headache." Chairman Gunhee exclaimed. Walking outside, Chief Jinchul met him.
"Chairman."
"What is it, Chief Jinchul?"
"Mr. Alard will be arriving today from China. He told us, Hunter Liu Zhigang had formed a good bond together." Chief Jinchul said.
"Chief Jinchul. I get what you mean by that. But, Hunter Liu Zhigang is a National Hunter. Why would he fight for our country just for their friendship? And, as for hiring. We don't have enough funds to hire a National Hunter and not take any damage." Chairman Gunhee said. Chief Jinchul giving him an understanding nod, both walked their way.
…
[Dragon Kingdom Border]
While this all was happening in Solo Leveling.
In the New World. In the border between Dragon Kingdom and Beastman Country.
*Slash!
"Hahaha! You damn shitty shits! Eat my blade! Hahaha!" A woman laughed. She was. A beautiful woman with a unique charm. Her red shoulder-length hair fluttered, blood of beatsmens blood splashing. She cutted down Beastman Country soldiers.
*Whooosh!
*Splash!
"Katherine. Why don't you shut up. You are one of the master's dependents. Act like one." another lady said, she had a waist reaching dark red hair. While she played her lyre, the wind generated by the lyre cutting down the beastmens into pieces.
"Hehe. Shut up, Daeva. I don't need your saying in this. Should, I tell master about what you did in his room—"
"Shut up, you damn bitch! It was an accident." Daeva shouted. They were joking with each other, as they killed the Beastmens with zero efforts.
All the soldiers of Dragon Kingdom were in shock. They even after fighting for 1 years, couldn't kill those beastsmens like how this two ladies infront of them were killing them.
*Slash!
*Swissh!
*Booooom!
*Whooosh!
*Slice!
"La la la la la." singing the song. Daeva used her deadly voice, bursting open the heads of Beastmens. There are brain particles and blood splattering the ground.
"Blood Blade 1st form: Fangs Thrust." Katherine used the martial art she herself created. Her dual blade engulfed in the blood of her enemies, tip of her blades shaped like fangs.
*Swooosh!
*Slash!
With one Slash of her enhanced blade, one swoop of her blade. She sliced up hundreds of soldiers.
"Gihh!" commander of Beastsmen exclaimed in fright. He was a Centaur.
"So, that dog is the Commander huh?" Katherine smirked, glaring toward the Centaur. She raised her blade, killing the Commander.
"The Commander is dead! We have cleared this border!! Hoo!" Katherine shouted, taking the beheaded head of the Commander she tossed it up.
"Hooo! Victory!!"
"Hail! The Heroes!"
"Hail! The Heroes!" The soldiers exclaimed. While Katherine puffed her chest in pride. Daeva shook her head, pulling Katherine's armor.
"Idiot, We don't have time for this. Let's just complete our deal and talk with Dragon Queen. You remember what the master told us, don't you?" Daeva said, while Katherine nodded.
"Yeah, But It is fun, you know. I am finally being recognized by so many, so I am happy about it." Katherine said, recalling her past. Her cheery face turned alittle dark.
"Sigh.. Whatever, Let's go." Daeva sighed, giving Katherine a knowing nod. They headed toward the next border.
…
[Solo Leveling]
Infront of Alard private jet. Liu Zhigang, Wang Chen and some of his guid members came to bid Alard farewell.
"Haha, Mr. Alard. I had fun in these five days with you. I hope we can meet again." Liu Zhigang said, shaking his hand with Alard.
"Sure, Mr. Liu. It was fun. We will again be meeting in the tournament." Alard said.
"Yeah, Mr. Alard. Even Wang Chen will be joining the tournament you will be hosting. I am quite intrigued to see who will be with you in the finals." Liu Zhigang said. While, Alard smirked hearing his words.
"You are quite confident in me. Mr. Liu."
"Of course, I am Mr. Alard. I can feel the power you have can match that of Thomas." Alard didn't say anything in this. Just bidding farewells. He entered inside his jet.
"Master, We are ready to fly."
…
[Korean International Airport]
Arriving in Korea after a short one hour flight. Alard got off his jet, walking out the airport.
"Welcome back, Master!"
He heard a loud voice. Turning over, he saw Nakia running his way.
"Oh, Nakia. How have you been?"
"Ahh~! Master. These five days have been a living hell for me." Nakia exclaimed, falling and rolling in the ground. Many walkers have an awkward stare.
*Grab!
"Ahh!" Nakia grunted. Alard pulled her ponytail, pulling her up to her feet.
"It hurts~" Nakia, rubbing her hair, moaned. Alard slammed her mouth with his hand.
"Mmmhh! Mmm~!" Then, muffling Nakia and Alard went toward the Crown Guild HQ.
…
*Swooosh!
Strong wind raced in the air.
Alard currently was on top of the Skyscraper. He was feeling the chilly wind that paced up, while he observed the entire Seoul with his eyes.
*Tuta Tuta Tutaa!
Alard phone rang. When Alard took his phone.
"Hello, Chairman Gunhee. How may I help you?"
"Oh, Mr. Alard. I actually have something to discuss."
"What may that be?" Alard voiced out. When, his blond hair flutters in the wind.
"Have you heard about Jeju Island?"
"Oh, Yes. The Jeju island S-rank Gate. Where our country raided three times but failed each time. One time even losing a S-rank Hunter." Alard ruthlessly stated. Chairman could feel the burn in his heart.
"Ahem! Yes yes. That is it. Actually, because of how weak our Korean Hunters were at that time. We failed to reclaim that land from the ants. Later, deciding to leave the island. Thinking they could die, when their food supply ran out." Chairman Go Gunhee said, continuing.
"But this decision ultimately backfired on us. Those ants somehow have evolved and gained the ability to fly. So, they are attacking the islands near Jeju." Chairman Gunhee said.
"Oh… That's sad."
"Yes, It is Mr. Alard. So, we are now once again planning on raiding Jeju Island. This time Japan will also be supporting us. So, will Mr. Alard join this raid or not?" Chairman nervously asked.
"Of course, I will accept it. It is my greatest honour to serve my country." Alard answered, the Chairman sighing in relief.
"Sure, Mr. Alard. Then do you mind coming to the Association tomorrow."
"Sure, Chairman.' Alard replied, cutting off the phone. He noticed Baek Yoonho having drinks with another guy.
'Baek Yoonho and Min Byung-Gyu, huh?'
…
Next day
In the Gym of the Korean Hunter Association.
*Slam!
Baek Yoonho and Ma Dongwook, Korean S-Rank Hunter also the leader of Fame Guild slammed each other fist.
"Haha" Ma Dongwook laughed, both of them throwing punches and palms against each other.
*Pow!
*Pow! *Bam!
*Pow!
"These Hunters are considered South Korea's strongest? They're mediocre at the best " a girl said. She was Hanekawa, A-rank Hunter of Draw Sword Guild of Japan. She was also the translator for the conversation between Japan and Korea. She was a slender young woman with neatly parted black hair.
"You think so?" This time a man beside her said. He was a handsome middle-aged man with black hair and a neatly trimmed black beard. He was Goto Ryuji, the Guild master of Draw Sword Guild. And also the only Asian S-rank Hunter that is said to be able to stand against Liu Zhigang.
"Mr. Goto. I've been watching your raids from the sidelines for quite sometime now. Perhaps this is the reason why I'm no longer impressed by other S-rank." Hanekawa said.
"I can't say I agree with you, though. There seems to be one notable Hunter over there." Goto Ryuji said, looking toward Cha Hae-In. Who was doing her warm up.
"Cha Hae-In is it? She and Go Gunhee. These two would give our best Hunter a run for their money." Goto Ryuji exclaimed slowly.
"Oi, Miss Translator. What'd ya say just now?" When another voice interrupted. He was a plain-looking young man with short black hair.
"Did'ya think, I couldn't understand' ya just because you are speaking Japanese. I'll have ya know, I learned Japanese as my second language." He exclaimed, making Hanekawa to giving him a blank look.
"And you are…?" She asked.
"What! You don't know my boss! This man right here is the Guild Master of the Knights Guild! Mr. Park Jongsoo!" A lackey exclaimed. While, Park Jongsoo proudly stood tall.
"Park Jongsoo? Never heard of him?" Hanekawa replied. Making the lackey burst with curses.
"Our Guild is one of Six major Guilds in South Korea. And out of all, we have recruited the largest number of A-rank Hunters."
"South Korea Hunters, huh..? Will you be joining the raid? I thought only S-rank was allowed." Hanekawa exclaimed, making both clowns infront of her to grab their chest with pain.
"Ugrhh..!"
"Hanekawa, What are you talking about with them?" Goto Ryuji asked. While both Korea clowns and cheap version of Rukia argued.
When Goto suddenly felt a powerful forced entering the gym.
He immediately turned toward the force.
He saw a handsome young man, who was wearing a black shirt, black pants. He had natural shining blond hair, red pupil and sharp gaze. He was being followed by a beautiful woman, She had hip reaching blonde hair, her pupil the same red as the boy. She was wearing a baseball jacket, white-shirt underneath. She was wearing a thigh reaching skirt, with black leggings.
"Who are they?" Goto immediately asked Hanekawa, he remembered seeing them in some T.V news. But he couldn't remember it well.
"Th.. They are Alard Crown and Nakia Crown. 10th and 11th S-rank Hunters of Korea." Hanekawa replied.
