The Boundless Necromancer

g Namgung Hyuk get up from his seat.

But…

-I never thought that you'd welcome me this fiercely, you know?

Contrary to what I expected, the situation where the drone gets destroyed didn't occur.

Instead of destroying the drone, Namgung Hyuk turned his gaze to the middle of the streets of Shinjuku Ward.

And walking towards him, a black-haired man with explosive muscles stood out.

“The person walking over there is Feng Zǐ Wén, who was acknowledged as an S-rank hunter in China about a month ago.”

In short, it means that he was no different from being the main character of this battle video.

“…”

However, I realized that Lee Seungjin's intentions for showing this video weren't good.

I was able to predict what would happen to the hunter named Feng Zǐ wén, who appeared in the video.

However, all the challengers inside the meeting room looked at that scene with a nervous look, as though they couldn't predict like me.

[email protected]#%&[email protected]##…

Then they frowned as they saw the sight of Feng Zǐ Wén grinning and muttering.

It seems like the language wasn't interpreted because he was an ordinary hunter from a foreign country, not a challenger from the Tower.

Back in the Tower, anyone could understand the language, but since he wasn't a challenger, they couldn't understand each other's language.

However, Namgung Hyuk nodded his head as though he understood what he was saying.

-I got it.
It seems like you aren't the type to listen to me.

Perhaps he has a separate ability to interpret languages?

I didn't know what Feng Zǐ Wén was blabbering about, but he seemed to realize that Feng Zǐ Wén was hostile to him.

Soon he stood up, let out a bitter smile, and placed his hand on the hilt of the curved sword on his waist.

-Well, I didn't think I'd be able to achieve my goal right away anyway.

Namgung Hyuk drew his sword as soon as he finished his words, and at that moment, an unbelievable situation happened.

Slaaaaaaaaash!

The buildings around him all started to cut and fall down without any warning, and…

Feng Zǐ Wén, who was approaching Namgung Hyuk relaxedly, was startled and stepped backward.

-Pathetic.
Consider it a shame that you attacked me with such trivial skills.

With those words as last, Feng Zǐ wén rushed toward Namgung Hyuk while screaming out of spite.

And after that, a battle that could only be called truly transcendent began to take place.

Feng Zǐ Wén swung his fist with all his might and clashed with Namgung Hyuk, but the result wasn't good.

Feng Zǐ Wén was the one who got injuries, although it was a battle in which the ground cracked and the air burst whenever they exchanged an attack.

Rather, Namgung Hyuk parried all of  Feng Zǐ Wén's attacks and slashed his whole body, gradually accumulating damage.

The battle was concluded after only a few minutes had elapsed.

-You were worth seeing for a person who can't even wield Fist Ki.
You may die in peace.

Slaaash!

The moment Feng Zǐ Wén's body split in half and spilled blood and organs.

Namgung Hyuk turned his back as though he wasn't interested and sheathed his weapon.

A complete defeat.

Then, the challengers in the meeting room were shocked by the result that could only be described as such.

-If you make me waste more time, this city will experience something more terrible.

Namgung Hyuk looked at the drone floating in the air, muttered coldly, and then drew his sword again.

Bzzzzzt!

After that, the drone showed a black screen with noise, unable to capture anything.

“…”

He's strong.

'It's not simply just a high level of physical ability or such.'

Feng Zǐ Wén, who fought Namgung Hyuk just now, wasn't a weak hunter either.

If I fought Feng Zǐ Wén, I wouldn't lose, but that didn't guarantee I'd win against him.

'And he killed such a skilled person in less than a few minutes, huh.'

I was feigning a smile at the strength that could be called a monster among monsters.

“Did you see the challenger from another world without the floor intrusion penalty?”

Lee Seungjin, who was looking at the video on the screen, looked around the meeting room and opened his mouth.

“This is the reality.
The Tower of the Trials is definitely not a place to compete.”

Lee Seungjin narrowed his eyes and continued his words calmly.

“We all need to disclose all the hidden information and prepare to prevent this kind of situation from happening again.”

Only then do the challengers inside the meeting room frowned as if they had grasped Lee Seungjin's intentions.

He was basically telling the high-ranking challengers, who were reluctant to disclose information, to disclose all information.

They didn't gather only the challengers on a high rank of the Evaluation Ranking for nothing.

As the atmosphere inside the meeting room died, Lee Seungjin opened his mouth again. 

“We'll only send the people who wish to go for the current request of the Japanese Hunter Association.”

At those words, the faces of the challengers in the meeting room brightened up evidently.

They thought that they'd be forced to be driven out to a deadly place where even an S-rank hunter died helplessly.
But they had the right to choose.

There would be no other good news for them at the moment.

“But if you don't respond to the request for help, please at least disclose the information.”

Of course, Lee Seungjin firmly confirmed that choice wasn't completely free.

If you wanted to ignore the request of the Japanese Hunter Association, you had to provide some information.

However, it seemed like most of the challengers had no intention of opposing that now. 

Perhaps it was the same for Lee Hayeon.
She smiled softly, pushed her face towards me, then whispered silently in my ear.

“Things are better than I thought.
We won’t be assigned if this goes on.”

She seemed quite anxious because she was also selected as a high-rank challenger, but…

Contrary to what Lee Hayeon thought, my dissatisfaction was filling up.

Even though Namgung Hyuk was strong, she said that Kim Seunghoon and Oh Choonsuk went to Japan.

They didn't conclude that there was no chance of winning at all, even in this situation, and that was the same for me, too.

Although it was slim, the odds of winning existed, and it felt like I could at least inflict fatal damage on him.

'I didn't wanna stand out, but I guess I can't help it.'

In the end, I prepared myself to stand out and raised my hand in the toned atmosphere.

“I'll go to Shinjuku ward, Tokyo, following the request of the Japanese Hunter Association.”

Not only the challengers who were sitting in the meeting room but also Lee Seungjin stared at me as if they were dumbfounded.

All the gazes looking at me seemed to tell me this at once.

They didn't know that crazy bastard who would go into such a deadly place on their own actually existed.
