Hyun remembered the solo raid that hunter Oliver was going to do on the rank 6 dungeon inhabited by a dragon.
Hyun immediately headed toward the dungeon. Luckily, the distance between him and the rank 6 dungeon was fairly close. Whether it was fate or coincidence, Hyun no longer cared. All he could think about now was the safety of Sera, his younger sister.
Upon arriving, many people had already gathered to witness the first-ever solo raid on the rank 6 dungeon. Desperately, Hyun sought a way to enter the dungeon, even if it meant being a sacrifice. Ignoring the angry shouts directed at him for barging in, Hyun also disregarded the system's warnings, which seemed crucial.
Master! Master! Don't get too close to that man…
As Hyun stood before the crowd, Oliver was preparing to enter. Hyun tried to push through the guards to meet Oliver. However, in the guards' eyes, Hyun was just a nuisance forcing his way to meet Oliver, causing chaos.
Oliver only caught a glimpse of the commotion there. He often saw people forcing their way in just to meet him. But this time, the person causing the commotion seemed to be someone from the association office. Oliver remembered sensing something unusual about someone at the association office before.
Oliver stood up and walked toward the person. He told the guards to let him in. Once permitted, the person immediately sat down and pleaded to be allowed in, even as a sacrifice.
Oliver stared straight at him. Oliver saw into the person's heart with the "eyes of judgment."
It is known that the "eyes of judgment" can see the deepest part of a person's heart, whether it be desire or something hidden. When he looked at him, Oliver only saw despair and something deeply endless. Additionally, Oliver also saw someone hugging a little girl who seemed to be his sister. None other than that person was despair itself.
With "eyes of judgement," Oliver saw what he desired. It was to heal his brother who was experiencing an early awakening; an elixir from the dragon race was needed. Oliver understood that desperation. And for the endless void, it seemed to be his job. "Eyes of judgement" indicated that it was a job where the user would become stronger by absorbing everything without disturbing it.
Hearing this, Oliver turned and instructed to follow him inside.
Hyun, who had been sitting and pleading, felt that his hope to save his brother was now open after hearing the words from the UR rank hunter, Oliver. Hyun quickly stood up and followed Oliver from behind.
Just before entering, Oliver said, "Your brother will be safe, don't worry."
Surprise appeared on Hyun's face. However, before he could realize it, Oliver had already entered the dungeon, causing Hyun to disregard Oliver's words and hurry in after him.
As soon as he entered, a vast world unfolded before Hyun. The place they stood in was a wide plain with several wyverns flying above it.
For each dungeon, there is a different dimension within it. Like this dungeon, which is a vast plain with trees, the previous dungeon Hyun entered was a cave-type dungeon. Seeing how expansive this dungeon was made Hyun wonder how to find its boss. And before Hyun could ask, he was enveloped in light.
"Wait and see, I will finish this quickly."
It seemed that this was a shield created by Oliver for him. Hyun understood why Oliver did this. Right now, Hyun was nothing more than a burden that could die at any moment in this vast world. Additionally, it seemed that this shield was very strong to withstand the attacks of several wyverns.
When he first read about Oliver, Hyun felt that his personality would be that of a indifferent and cold person. With his black eyes and hair, Oliver became an easily recognizable hunter among other high-rank hunters. One very striking thing about Oliver was that he wore three hair clips on his head. According to some news, those hair clips came from his younger sister. Like him, Oliver also had a younger sister the same age as Sera named Meddie.
Oliver also wore a cap that made him look like a hero, and that cap stemmed from his younger brother's desire to have a heroic sibling. Just like now, where Hyun sees Oliver as a hero with his cap swaying in the wind.
According to the news Hyun read, Oliver's job is Light and Dark, allowing him to control both elements. He also possesses a unique trait that he has yet to reveal.
There, Oliver summoned two swords of light and darkness in both hands. Seeing the mana reaction made the wyverns dive toward Oliver. One thing Hyun wanted to witness was how top-ranked hunters fought. And it seems that desire would soon be fulfilled by the number one hunter in Korea.
As the wyverns were about to attack with their fiery breath, Oliver moved very quickly, slicing them into small pieces. Hyun, who witnessed the event, felt that it was not something a human could do. Even during the dungeon break ten years ago, no hunter could accomplish such feats.
Oliver moved very quickly as if he were the light itself, cutting through the remaining wyverns. The event lasted no more than 10 seconds with the bodies of the wyverns falling.
"Is this the power of those who have reached rank UR?"
Hyun's admiration was shattered when the system called him.
Master! Because of the hunter's "eyes of judgement," the job "Devour" has been revealed!
"Wait, what! So you mean the owner of the "eyes of judgement" is Oliver?"
Correct, master!
"Then, what will happen if someone finds out about it?"
Hyun felt a bit worried. He didn't expect that his job would be revealed this quickly, even by hunter Oliver?
It seems the master has high luck.
"What do you mean?"
Fortunately, the owner of the "eyes of judgement" is a guardian.
"Guardian? Wait, what do you mean by guardian?!"
Sorry, master, the authority I have is not enough to explain it.
….
"Wait, if I reach level 10, can I absorb power from the UR rank, Oliver?"
No, you need a comparable level to absorb the power of a guardian.
Hyun felt uneasy with the word guardian. However, the system said he was lucky to meet a guardian. Doesn't that mean nothing bad will happen between him and Oliver?
The system also explained that to absorb power from another hunter, a job with the same rarity is required. This is also true for those in the UR rarity. However, in the case of 'guardians', the same level is needed to absorb them. With the information provided by the system, Hyun understood his job. Besides that, Hyun felt that Oliver's power was far above what he currently saw, especially when it came to his traits.
Still stunned by the events happening before his eyes, Hyun was jolted by a very loud scream. He felt he would go crazy just by hearing it.
"You'll be safe in there!" Oliver said while still facing the source of the groan.
Hyun thought that if it weren't for this barrier, he might have already fainted.
The sound of the scream stopped, creating a gripping silence. Even being inside the barrier did not make Hyun feel calm.
"Hey.. Oliver! What actually..."
...….!!!
Before Hyun could finish his sentence, a tremendous pressure surged towards them. This sensation was very different, a sensation of death. This feeling was unlike anything he experienced 10 years ago when the dungeon break occurred and the day Hyun lost both of his parents right before his eyes.
Sweat poured down, soaking his clothes. His heart raced uncontrollably, as if ready to explode at any moment.
Hyun looked at Oliver, who stood firm under this deathly pressure, making it even harder for him to gauge just how strong Oliver really was.
Seeing Hyun struggling to withstand the pressure from the monster, Oliver doubled his protection around him, calming Hyun down a bit.
"Look over there!" Oliver gestured to look ahead.
Thanks to what Oliver did, Hyun felt a bit more at ease. Then, he looked in the direction Oliver pointed.
Thud!
Just moments ago, Hyun's heart was racing wildly. After seeing what was in front of him, his heartbeat seemed to stop.
The sight ahead was something Hyun could hardly imagine. Something he could only see in a rank 6 dungeon, making him think that humanity would be in danger if something like that emerged from here.
There, a dragon as large as Hallasan mountain was visible. Even though it was still far from Hyun, the dragon was enormous, with the ground trembling every time it took a step.Tidak! Tunggu!! Satu..dua..tiga..empat…tujuh?! ada tujuh dari mereka!? Dan semuanya sebesar dengan naga sebelumnya. Bagaimana ini hanya dihitung sebagai dungeon rank 6? Dengan kehadiran ketujuhnya, bahkan tidak akan mengherankan jika menyebutnya bencana dunia.
"Oliver…"
Oliver, who had been standing silently before, did not even budge in front of the seven giants. "The seven dragons are the implementation of each element, with one having the power of mind and soul. It is the dragon that has the elixir needed to heal your sister."
Hearing Oliver's words, Hyun realizes why he is here. The strength Oliver showed and the horrors of the rank 6 dungeon, made him forget what he was for coming here.
"Oliver... Can humans beat the disaster in front of you?"
Of course Hyun believed in Oliver, having seen him defeat a bunch of wyverns so easily and also as the no 1 hunter in the world. But still, the monster ahead of there was something very different.
"It won't be more than 10 minutes!"
What!!
Oliver, as one of the UR rank hunters in Korea with the current level estimated at 490. Wait! 490?
True master! After defeating several wyverns before, hunter Oliver had now reached level 500. The level at which humanity has been passed.
"What rank after... UR?"
Legendary, master.
…
This was the first time Hyun had heard of rank after UR. Something that even makes humans move closer to the gods.
"Oliver... have you passed the rank of UR?" Hyun thoughtlessly asked Oliver.
Hearing that, Oliver turned his head and looked at the two swords he was holding. Then, Oliver walked casually towards the approaching dragons.
"If you feel uncomfortable, look up"
Seeing Oliver walking away, Hyun raised his head, just like what Oliver had said.
"Very bright! Wasn't it not as bright as it is now?"
Master is wrong, it's not because of the sun, still...
Hyun tried to focus his eyes.
"What is that? It looks like a figure in white"
That's right, master, it was one of Oliver's skill hunters, those called, 'The Angels of Death'. An army of hundreds of white-robed angels led by the angel Gabriel and a pair of death angels.
"Angel of death? But up there there is no pair that looks like the angels of death"
Look ahead, master!
Hyun followed the system's words and looked towards hunter Oliver.
In front of there, Oliver was walking with both swords in his hand and... A pair of figures in black? The two of them stood beside Oliver carrying a large sickle as if guarding him. Even from a considerable distance, Hyun can still feel how dangerous the two figures are.
Hyun couldn't take his eyes off the two figures beside Oliver. While Hyun was still focused on looking at him, one of the two figures looked at Hyun. The moment the two looked at each other, Hyun felt a sensation of death itself. It was as if his soul did not exist in that dimension and could only see. An empty sensation where Hyun felt nothing but confusion and fear.
The experience only lasted when the two looked at each other. And after the black figure averted his gaze, Hyun's soul seemed to return to his body.
MASTER! MASTER!
The first thing Hyun heard was a notification from a system that seemed to be in a panic.
"What's wrong system? Why are you so panicked?!"
…
When master looked at the figure, the master's soul left this world, which meant that master was dead.
Deg!
That means…
That's right! Master has experienced death and resurrection.
Hyun didn't say anything. He was very shocked after listening to the system's words.
"Hahaha... Haha. Haha! Is this their power that is at the god level!? Just looking at it has already caused me death! "Haha hahaha!"
Master….
After all that, Hyun faints.
On the other hand, Oliver walked towards the seven monsters confidently. With the level he had just reached, defeating them would be very easy if he did it with his entire army. However, Oliver wanted to test his fighting with his strength alone.
In the presence of the seven giants, Oliver was just like an ant. The difference in size didn't frighten Oliver. With both of his swords, Oliver stood up challenging the seventh.
The two only exchanged glances and aura for a moment facing each other. No one has started a movement yet, as if waiting. Oliver's gaze was currently only fixed on the little dragon that was above the seventh. Replying to Oliver's gaze, the dragon with the power of soul and mind tried to use its power to look into Oliver.
As if there was an obstacle protecting him, the dragon was instantly alert. Seeing a worried look on his face, Oliver polished his sword. "Was the one I fought before also a dragon?"
Hearing that, the soul and mind dragons roared extremely loudly. Making the surroundings that were originally noisy with the sounds of small animals, now silent.
After the roar was over, the seven dragons now changed their figures to half-humans. Their appearance corresponds to their respective elements. However, the figure of the soul and mind dragon was unlike the other six. He wasn't white like the light element. His figure that seemed to blend with all colors made him look like a god who had descended to earth.
But, there was one thing that worried Oliver a little. Of the seven dragons in front of him, only the soul and mind dragons seemed alive. The other six only look like a creation that has no will. No, it's like...
"Who are you! In my eyes you don't look like a god, but rather a virus."
Hearing Oliver's words, the dragon soul and mind laughed.
"Ahahaha, god? Don't equate me with those fucking greedy gods!. I am the embodiment of the dragon's own arrogance."
Oliver didn't understand the meaning of the dragon's words. As if not wanting to continue his speech, the dragon immediately asked Oliver.
"Then, what are you? Your soul color looks like them!"
Oliver didn't understand what he was saying.
Oliver looked at each of the dragons in front of him, he smiled.
Without further ado, Oliver threw his black sword at the abstract dragon (the dragon of mind and soul). His sword shot swiftly towards him, but with the power of his dragon, the sudden attack was just like a small bluff.
Oliver's black sword was easily captured by him. But just before catching him, a voice sounded from behind.
"That's also the question I've been asking all along, who started the current era of chaos"
At the same speed, the abstract dragon immediately moved away. He saw Oliver who was right where he had stood
"You….!!"
Oliver looked at the dragon of light, "Hm? It seems like you've lost your mind, so you created something like this."
The black sword that had previously been held by the abstract dragon, now darted towards the light dragon. Unlike before where they just looked lifeless, just as Oliver's attack was about to hit him, the light dragon dodged very quickly
Seeing the movement, Oliver looked towards the abstract dragon.
Disappear? No....this pressure.
As if teleporting, Oliver was where he had been standing. Seconds later, the ground that Oliver had previously stepped on was now destroyed and produced a large hole.
Before Oliver had time to think, a shadow quickly moved towards him.
The realm of light and darkness is Oliver's absolute power.
Quickly, Oliver stuck his white sword into the shadow before hitting his shadow, causing him to stop.
Looking in front of him, there were only fire and water dragons. The other five seemed to disappear.
Oliver looked at the shadow that was attacking him, he was hiding a lot of things.
Instantly a strong wind scattered the ground, making Oliver's view obstructed.
In the midst of the limitations, a metal shot very quickly towards him. As if to see the enemy's movements, Oliver dodged them with just a few swipes from his neck.
In addition to looking into a person, the eyes of judgement can also see movements aimed at him.
There was silence after the attack, only the roar of the wind getting stronger.
The footing under Oliver felt like wet grass. Before he knew it, the ground froze. Makes Oliver's movements come to a halt.
"Looks like I should try a little harder"
The wind, which was originally just blowing the ground, now feels like it is filled with millions of needles.
Oliver, who was trapped inside the vortex of needles, looked towards his front.
The vortex makes the person in the middle of it will be torn to shreds.
As if that wasn't enough to kill Oliver, a fire burned a whirlpool, making it burn extremely violently. What a powerful destructive force. Makes the soil in the vortex area break and melt.
A very horrible sight. Making anyone must die without any remaining.
Seeing the foothold where Oliver was burned out, the abstract dragon then revealed itself.
He looked at where Oliver was stuck,
"It's a pity, I can't listen to her screams"
...
"Of course! Because from the beginning I wasn't there"
"WHO?!"
Impossible!! I saw it with my own eyes as it burned out in the middle of the vortex!!
"What do you think with a face like that"
"YOU!! What are you doing! I see clearly that you are trapped in that vortex!"
"Is that so?" Silence was created between the two.
The smoke from the fight began to disappear. Clearly showing a very gruesome scene.
Behind the thinner puff of smoke, there was a shadow of someone standing behind him.
How is that possible!
The more the puff of smoke disappears, the more visible the figure is there.
Oliver stood at the spot where he first faced the seven dragons with the two angels of death at his side.
"You..!!"
The abstract dragon roared very loudly, making the other six dragons bow. The angry roar also eliminated some of Oliver's angels of death. "HOW DARE YOU PLAY WITH ME!!"
As if in response to the abstract dragon's anger, the presence of the six dragons slowly disappeared and began to fuse together. A trident began to form from it. Just like the abstract dragon, the appearance of its trident is also abstract, as all the elements become one.
The air around him also began to change. Made Oliver a little wary. Immediately after forming, the trident eye was now right in front of Oliver. Only less than 1 mm away from his face, Oliver very quickly tried to dodge.
Blood flowed a fraction of a cm from his eyes.
That speed...
Without time to think, again from behind him, a trident darted towards him. However, once he realized, it was not only the trident behind him that was heading towards him. From the other three directions the same trident also flew.
With his speed, Oliver could barely avoid it. Before his feet were footed, from all directions, there was only a trident that hit him. Knowing that avoiding him would be in vain, Oliver concentrated his strength and speed on both movements of his sword. Fending off the trident
Is this his true power?
As if fending off his trident attack wasn't enough, Oliver had to split his focus to find an abstract dragon. No, the dragon didn't disappear.
Oliver realizes that this trident is not moved from afar, but rather an abstract dragon that moves with impossible limits so that it seems to disappear.
Ten minutes had passed.
For those who pass level 500, a skill will not be given. In exchange for skills, they will be given authority over their powers.
Using authority also indicates that you are no longer a human being, but are already on a different level. Authority is a form of sovereignty over the control of an individual's power. By having authority, it indicates that the power possessed can be fully understood. Oliver remembers clearly his explanation of authority.
Light and darkness are my embodiment.
By understanding his strength, his skill level will also be upgraded in the advanced direction.
Oliver closed his eyes.
As the trident of the trident about to hit him came, Oliver opened his eyes. The clatter between a sword and a trident adorned the vast meadow. Each of the two rubbed against each other, causing the ground that touched it to split and crumble. The fight between the two seemed to take place in a different dimension, only the traces of the fight were visible.
The wind of a very powerful battle made Hyun come to his senses.
Now in front of him stood two angels of death who had previously followed Oliver. It was as if it was guarding him from the impact of the fight ahead. Hyun, who looked confused because he didn't see Oliver and the dragons, asked the system.
Master…
Hyun waited for the system's answer by looking in disbelief at what was happening in front of him. There is only damage. Everything is slowly falling apart.
Their fight was in the future and what the master saw now was the traces of the fight.
Hyun's silent expression explained everything. Something that humans show when they see miracles. Shut up and stare blankly. Slowly, the fight was nearing its end. With Oliver starting to increase his speed level, the abstract dragon was unable to keep up. Cut after incision adorned the dragon's body. There was no blood dripping from it, only his existence began to be eroded by the incision.
Oliver continues to move at a speed that is beyond the limits of imagination. As soon as he realized, everything was gone. The abstract dragon and its tridents are formless.
Oliver paused.
A voice suddenly appeared in his mind. "Hahaha!! That was so much fun!"
It's an abstract dragon voice.
"No need to be careful, this is just a voice from the past"
"Before actually leaving, can you tell me how you managed to escape that vortex?"
…..
Oliver stared blankly. "I just move as much and as fast as I can so that it creates the illusion that I'm there"
Silence ensued. "Hahahaha!"
The sound of laughter was heard until it completely disappeared. Oliver's gaze returned to the meadow. A place that had been destroyed and the elixir that was now in his hands, made him the first hunter to complete a level 6 solo dungeon raid.
An hour had passed from the moment they entered the dungeon. Oliver walked over to Hyun and his troops, whom he had recalled. Oliver just glanced at Hyun, then went towards the dungeon entrance. Hyun regains consciousness and immediately follows Oliver back. He couldn't believe he saw a miracle right after his resurrection to become a hunter
