“After the explosion, the dungeon closed. The rest is as everyone knows.”1bc67d2473c3454c

Soohyuk recounted everything 3156afdd6c that had happened bf98192b25 at the end eea0c27a3b of the Poison 3b57384fcc Jar Dungeon to 50e8e93b68 the S-rank hunters.7cabea65443e97e3

The National Security Agency didn’t want the details to be made public and had asked the hunters involved in the Poison Jar Dungeon raid to keep it confidential. However, they didn’t oppose Soohyuk sharing the information with the other S-rank hunters.e3193172a4fd83dd

They had initially 7eeef39ff7 concealed the involvement 54afaaba5e of foreign hunters 4531e96694 to avoid immediate 8828b614a7 responsibility. But the National Security abb55fdf43 Agency knew that it 5e1ccfba24 was the hunters who 0e8508ff31 would have to face 06e7ed51bd the newly emerged monsters 3cd2632a19 directly.7bce1e2bf4a9b83a

The S-rank hunters grew serious as they listened to Soohyuk’s explanation.07b75869e9f302fc

“The key point seems to be that no information about the monster appeared. Maybe it’s from another world beyond the torn space?”87ccbe332c121861

“The skeletal knight on horseback might explode when attacked, like a bomb spider.”2c5e32d34b099434

As seasoned monster hunters, the S-rank hunters immediately began discussing the skeleton’s characteristics and strategies to defeat it. They speculated that the skeleton’s information was invisible because it had come from another dimension, making it impossible to display in this world’s status window. Soohyuk didn’t disagree with this theory.bf3b8cc15f27f453

“The Ace Guild leader was too hasty. Attacking an unknown monster head-on? Even a rookie wouldn’t make that mistake.”0701c55c83bb6a0f

During a brief pause, 9c34600c0a Kwak Jonghoon harshly criticized ace2d835f2 Joo Myunghwan. Approaching an unknown monster d556f443a8 cautiously was a basic 14021e69f0 principle of dungeon raids.41495f2ce62c9d65

Other hunters also chimed in, but Soohyuk remained silent. He didn’t warn them not to interfere because he planned to deal with Joo Myunghwan himself.e6f2a77079375bfe

The S-rank hunters, who 01d2b35ff4 focused on dungeon raids, ab76598d8b had little interaction with 4f46abab40 Joo Myunghwan, who was 7b5f6cf07b involved in the defense 1099aa5bd2 shield business. However, being cc50f8f122 in high f02504731b positions meant 7de3b9169e they could d2e4468ce8 cross paths f34b5d161b in various 06fab7f2da ways. With so few d32f5489fb hunters, everyone was 78265c9efe acquainted in some fae9fa1f7f way.c86d132515fbdf28

Of course, Soohyuk had no intention of staying quiet even if one of the S-rank hunters defended Joo Myunghwan. Minjun had been seriously injured because of his mistake. Thinking of Minjun, Soohyuk’s expression hardened. If he had been hurt any worse, Joo Myunghwan wouldn’t have gotten away unscathed.3def2d6e60eea8d9

Hunters getting injured in dungeon raids was all too common. Many died without even having a chance to fight back. Accidents caused by a party member’s recklessness were also frequent.139b465f5236b66f

Soohyuk could overlook unintentional accidents. As long as he didn’t have to work with them again, it was fine. But he couldn’t let Joo Myunghwan off the hook.dc7fb2b3a79aaf9c

After the explosion, Joo Myunghwan, who was the first to regain consciousness, blamed everything on the intruder. He showed no remorse. Instead, he demanded compensation from the National Security Agency, claiming it was their fault for not preventing the intruder. It was an incredibly shameless act. Soohyuk didn’t demand an apology from Joo Myunghwan. Instead, he decided to take action.d215726dc5672b51

Taking down the Ace Guild wouldn’t be difficult with a bit of effort. Especially since it was a publicly traded company, it would be even easier. While Soohyuk was lost in thought, the topic shifted again. This time, it was about the dungeon closing.8c207465a2e586a3

In a typical afa1c2b611 dungeon, once the e1348b314b boss was defeated dcfc275c8f and the dungeon f3d41b3bb9 was cleared, the 2694f744c1 gate would completely 0b86ad2d1d disappear, indicating the 5a41aa0dd9 dungeon had closed. Clearing and closing 635e78a9e5 were not distinguished 8149dbd7b6 separately in these 4e06c630e4 cases.2eded4228c6a9e11

However, in the 6c9f36393a case of repeating a696813816 dungeons, even after 573369c86f clearing the dungeon, 25d5e1d4b9 the crack remained. Over time, the crack fbebee4494 would become a gate b2b0ddef55 again, and the dungeon fddf305a3a would reappear. Closing a repeating dungeon 36bd11342e required meeting some unknown 1aade63785 conditions.c706c6e615a17e9c

The S-rank hunters all speculated that the dungeon had closed due to the skeleton’s explosion. Seo Wooju suggested that they take this opportunity to figure out how to close repeating dungeons, and everyone agreed.45d3d35f6ffc46e5

It had already e727e20488 been over a c29f249c03 week since he 5b1e9eab9c had received the 51d57bf4f1 related letter from 9fdf0f75c5 Kim Minjun. He had 67b15a4ec5 planned to c6686112a3 inform everyone 0b64f2cb3b after finding 2f247a8547 Minjun hyung 2346f4005c first. However, despite using 0a9dfa317f the blood and ec0321504a hair provided by 5016a77e31 Soohyuk, he kept 115960d2df failing to locate b517499b04 him. While he ab82b4cbf8 was tearing f7568d2a68 his hair fd465504b6 out in c142b07fb9 frustration, a c44ea4680b hunter went cd03f103e5 berserk and 9a2192d853 exploded inside d8326b056f the Poison 9c88a4ce84 Jar Dungeon.ec7233a76c4303d5

With this turn of events, Choi Euiseong changed his mind. First, he needed to verify if the information Kim Minjun had provided was true. Checking for the vine patterns that appeared on the chest wasn’t difficult. The herbs needed for the antidote were also easy to obtain.f0c3c4140cbbe1e7

“Let’s do as guild leader Choi Winter suggested. It’s not hard to verify,” Seo Wooju quickly decided, and all the hunters, including Soohyuk, agreed.d606684da8a2a9ae

At the same time, 504f1c07e9 Soohyuk quietly observed Choi d21ca1039b Euiseong sitting across from 95b0779e2a him. He had a be15ac4197 feeling he knew b107d65fa9 who the reliable 71e0406bec informant Choi Euiseong c186f69937 mentioned was.b44a86780b3e5641
