Chapter 35.4


    “what? annihtion?”


    Minister Tanaka’s face turned earthy.


    “How could that be? How many rankers and high-level yers were mobilized for this operation!”


    200 rankers and 6,000 high-level yers.


    Nearly half of Japanese rankers and high-level yers were mobilized for this operation.


    But annihtion?


    “The joiners used a trick. Pretending to retreat… … .”


    The aide reported the information that had juste in.


    “Even so, how can it be annihted? Are you saying that the yers in Japan were that weak?”


    “The individual, presumed to be the leader of the Joining n, moved so cleverly… … .”


    “Even so, isn’t it just a hero-grade monster?”


    “that is… … . I brought a video recording the situation at the time. See for yourself.”


    The assistant yed the video.


    The battle scenes recorded on CCTV were of poor quality.


    But it was enough to look at the overall situation.


    “her!”


    A sigh of relief escaped from Minister Tanaka’s mouth as he was checking the CCTV footage.The


    leader of the Join tribe with golden wings thoroughly targeted the ranks of the rankers.


    Healers and long-distance dealers were dealt with first, aiming for gaps in the ranks who were ying


    with the hero-grade joins.


    After that, after removing even the nearest dealer with a powerful golden thunderbolt, he leisurely left.


    One tank survived, but the damage was so great that it eventually stopped breathing due to the attack


    of the Joining tribe, which was originally fighting.


    Such a scene was repeated over and over again.


    The leader of the join n deliberately destroyed the yer’s union.


    No matter how talented a ranker is, he cannot hunt hero level monsters alone.


    yers with broken partybinations began to be helpless.


    The leader of the join group thoroughly targeted only healers and dealers.


    Even if it was a tank, healers and dealers could not withstand the attacks of hero-grade monsters.


    In the end, the yers were wiped out.


    After that, it was the turn of the Self-Defense Forces.


    Minister Tanaka closed her eyes tightly.


    It was like a nightmare.


    Although humanoid, monsters are monsters.


    However, the monster used strategy and tactics.


    And the result was the great defeat of humans.

    “A new kind of monster appeared in Japan?”


    Hyunseong, who came out of the dungeon after hunting, asked with a surprised expression.


    “Yes, there have been hero-grade monsters called the Join-Type, and it’s not even a riot. The Japanese


    rankers and high-level yers who started subjugation were wiped out.”


    Hyunseong’s mouth widened at the words of the military transport helicopter pilot.


    “Is that possible?”


    “It looks like they are quite intelligent. In the end, the Japanese government openly asked the


    internationalmunity for help.”


    He gave up his pride and chose the truth.


    If there’s one problem… … .


    “Is there any country that can afford to help others now?”


    The Second Cataclysm plunged the world into chaos.


    He was too busy to cover himself, but he couldn’t afford to help others.


    “No.”


    Even the United States, Japan’s best ally, could not afford it.


    America was too big.


    For that reason, even the dimensional gates created during the 2nd Cataclysm had not yet been


    dungeoned.


    The same was true of neighboring countries.


    “Did you ask for help from Korea?”


    “Yes, I know that. But it won’t be easy if you can’t afford it.”


    Korea overcame the Second Cataclysm with rtively little damage.


    But there was no time to help others.


    This is because of the vastly increased territory and dungeons due to the Second Cataclysm.


    In the worst case, would you mobilize high-level yers belonging to a huge guild and yers of the


    association to clean the dungeon?


    ‘I can’t afford to be fussy.’


    Since the fire has gone out in his instep, he probably won’t be able to afford to even pay attention to


    Hyunseong.


    “Let’s go.”


    At the words of the military transport helicopter pilot, Hyunseong boarded the helicopter.

    After arriving in the new dungeon, Hyunseong immediately summoned Lucia.


    “Lucia, I have a question for you before the battle.”“Ask me.”


    “Do you know of a monster called the Join-Type?”


    At Hyunseong’s question, Lucia’s expression hardened.


    “Have the Joiners ever appeared in this world?”


    “that’s right.”


    “It will do a lot of damage. They are very intelligent and very mobile. They live in groups there and flock


    to groups. If you think of it as a normal monster and respond to it, you will take a lot of damage.”


    “I’ve already worn it, although it’s a foreign story.”


    “How much damage have you suffered?”


    Hyunseong told a story he had heard from a military transport helicopter pilot.


    “If the boss is that smart, it won’t be easy. In the world where I was, there was a case where a kingdom


    was destroyed by a group of joiners. If possible, it would be good for countries around the world to work


    together to deal with it. If left unchecked, a country could disappear.”


    “I can’t afford it even in other countries.”


    “Still, it is difficult to leave it alone for too long. The Join-n is a monster that can grow to Legendary


    level.”


    “Really?”


    Even though the join group was a hero grade monster, it was extremely difficult. But is it possible to


    grow to a legend level?


    “Although there are limits for each race, monsters grow through hunting just like yers. If you had


    such a big win, you would probably have leveled up quite a bit. He must have absorbed a lot of mana


    stones and skill books.”


    “Even if the skill book is like that, does it absorb mana stones?”


    At Hyunseong’s question, Lucia nodded.


    “Monsters hunt other monsters or yers in order to gain experience and manastones. Especially in


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    the case of Manastone, it allows us to go beyond the limits of species.”


    “Can yers also absorb Mana Stones and grow?”


    “As far as I know, it’s impossible. Many empires and kingdoms have invested huge amounts of money


    in the experiment, but I know they all failed.”


    “Actually, even in our world, the experiment to grow yers with manastones was not sessful.”


    Research on Manastone was still in progress.


    Hearthstone has achieved remarkable results in the fuel and pharmaceutical fields.


    However, there was no case where the stats increased after being absorbed by yers or ordinary


    people.


    “Oh, and I think it’s okay if you don’t have to worry about being attacked for a while.”


    At Hyunseong’s words, Lucia tilted her head.


    “Why?”


    “It’s probably because of the Joiners by now. You won’t even be able to afford to worry about me.”


    “You have been punished for your useless greed.”


    At Lucia’s words, Hyunseong also burst intoughter.
