Sung-hyun immediately called the association.

How many people are actually subjugating the 5th-level gates, and do they really have no ability to subdue other than the 5th-level gates?

“then. please.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

The voice of the trusty secretary of the association came back, and Sung-hyun hung up the phone and looked at the window again.

“24 hours…”

Thanks to the word 5th grade door, it seemed like he was constantly vigilant.

To be honest, if it was a level 5 inquiry right now, Sunghyun could easily clear it with just one hand.

For the rest of the day, Sunghyun had nothing to prepare.

There was nothing to prepare.

It was almost ready anyway.

A day later, Sung-hyeon, who was contacted by the association, headed straight to the association.

“welcome.”

The secretary, who came out to meet him, guided Seong-hyeon to his room, followed by documents and explanations about what Seong-hyun had asked for yesterday.

“Currently, there are about 100,000 people who make a living by subjugating Level 5 Gates.”

“Is this the standard for those who make a living?”

“Yes, among them, the number of hunters who are judged to have the ability to subdue a level 4 gate is about 30,000.”

If so, the number of people who can only subdue level 5 gates is 70,000.

If it was small, it was small, if it was large, it was a large number.

“I will ask you one thing. If the Level 5 door disappears, what will happen to them?”

“…You mean all the 5th-level doors will disappear? Couldn’t it be created?”

“yes.”

The secretary was in trouble for a moment.

What is Seonghyun’s intention to ask such a question?

First of all, since the answer came first rather than the worry, the secretary gave an answer based on the exact situation.

“There will be some confusion, but it seems like everyone will go their separate ways, with a few exceptions. These are not people who love subjugation, but people who do subjugation for the livelihood of their dependents.”

“What do you think will happen if they enter the fourth-level door?”

The secretary’s expression did not brighten at Sung-hyun’s question.

“…I don’t think it will produce good results.”

“okay. All right.”

Why did you ask this question?

Anyway, the answer was fixed.

Even if the number of those who subjugate the 5th-level gate was not 100,000 but 1 million, Seonghyeon’s job was determined.

“But why did you ask me to look into these…”

He was a secretary who seldom asked questions like this, but this time, he was curious enough that he couldn’t just skip it.

“Just what…”

After hesitating for a moment to answer, Seonghyeon got up from her seat and answered the papers the secretary had given her.

“It’s self-satisfaction.”

Seonghyeon, who left the association, looked at the remaining time.

[Time remaining until the last door of level 5 is created 00:47]

The time remaining until creation is now less than an hour.

“But where are the doors created?”

Before that, I had informed them of the location in advance, but now there is no such thing.

“I hope it doesn’t happen in Busan or something like that…”

Then it would take more than 4 hours to get there, but I didn’t know what would happen if that happened.

Since it was the last door, it must have been something different from the other doors, and that meant that flooding could occur immediately.

Since there was nothing he could do for the remaining hour except waiting, Seonghyeon sighed and waited for the remaining hour.

[Time remaining until the last door of level 5 is created 00:01]

After the not-so-long wait, a window appeared saying that the door was created.

[The last level 5 door has been created.]

As soon as the window appeared, a door appeared in front of Seonghyeon.

“Did you appear in front of me?”

It’s like coming in.

It was explicitly created right in front of Seonghyeon, as if no other options were needed.

“okay. I’ll come in.”

If you have been invited, it is polite to attend.

Seonghyeon immediately entered the last door of the 5th grade.

The feeling of entering the door was not much different from the other doors.

On the contrary, it felt as light as if there was no feeling at all.

“…”

The last door of the 5th grade that I entered like that.

A temple that seems to have existed a long time ago.

But it was too dark for that, and the ceiling looked like it was underground.

Seonghyeon looked around for a moment and moved slowly.

The only sound he could hear was his own footsteps.

It seemed as if the surroundings were tightly closed, and the sound that resounded over and over again with every step he took seemed to be non-stop.

“What the hell?”

Just walking like that for a few minutes.

I tried fumbling around with my hands to see if there was something on the wall, but Seonghyun’s expectations were completely wrong.

“…?”

After walking for a few more minutes, a huge door appeared in front of me.

The door, which looked 10 times his height, boasted a sense of weight enough to make it difficult to even open it.

“Ugh…”

This time, Seong-hyeon’s prediction was right.

Seonghyeon looked at the door with puzzled eyes and muttered at the door that did not open no matter how hard she pushed.

“If I invited you… should I open the door?”

And it was as if he had heard it.

Soon the huge door began to open with a heavy sound suitable for its size.

It must have been left unattended for quite some time, and every time the door opened and the floor was scratched, a thick layer of dust was rising.

Seonghyeon went inside only after all the dust that had climbed up to the point of obscuring her vision had subsided.

The inside of the door wasn’t very dark.

To be precise, it was a little dark, but it was as if the dark blue moonlight was shining as if a full moon was floating.

“…human?”

At the borderline where the dark blue light meets the darkness, a voice came from in front.

“How can a human be here…”

A voice as if pulling something up from within.

‘…Level 5? Absolutely not.’

Even Seonghyeon was easily able to handle up to the mutated 3rd-class door beast, but that voice stimulated the instinctive part to the extent that even that Seonghyeon gave her body goosebumps.

“I don’t know how I got here, but this is a place for humans to enter…”

The unidentified In-young, who was speaking in an uninspired voice, stopped what she was saying for a moment and looked at Seong-hyeon.

“…”

In-young, who had been staring at Seong-hyeon like that, soon began to approach him little by little.

The appearance of approaching very slowly, paradoxically, was more intimidating.

“Is it an illusion?”

Judging from the position of his arms, legs, and head, he would have been a human, but his appearance was that of a beast itself.

“More than that, how did you get here?”

“…”

“You don’t want to answer.”

The Beast immediately pulled out the sword he was holding in his arms and said.

“Let me introduce myself. I am the ruler of the lowest-class beasts. The name is…not.”

After hesitating for a while, there seemed to be quite a few stories between them.

“The ruler of the lowest level of demonic beasts?”

“Now, I think I’ve been thinking a little bit about what I’m going to say.”

Masu pointed the sword he had drawn at Seonghyeon and said.

“Of course it was late.”

The beast released his hand from the sword he was holding.

However, it did not fall to the black floor and kept the same image as it was aimed at Seonghyeon.

“…!”

Living in the moment.

He was looking at the beast, not the sword.

If it weren’t for that subtle difference, the sword that was aimed at him flew at a speed that could be really dangerous.

Although he already knew that the sword was moving, when the passed sword was placed in front of the beast again, red blood remained on the blade.

‘It was dangerous.’

At least among the top hunters in Korea, it was comparable to the speed-specialized hunters.

If I hadn’t paid much attention, the blood on that sword could have come from the neck, not the cheeks.

“…Harm?”

Masu seemed quite surprised by Seonghyeon’s movement, but he said without seeing any other movements.

“It makes no sense. My sword is the sword that remembers. Remember your wounds…”

As soon as the beast had finished speaking, Seonghyeon’s torn cheeks were already in a state of healing.

“cure…?”

Realizing that his compatibility was not good, Masu tried to directly attack Seonghyeon with his sword this time.

‘muster.’

“You even summoned it.”

The beast, who lightly received the 1’s sword, separated 1 from himself with a simple movement and rushed to Seonghyeon again.

1 was trying to block the movement, but the 1 was blocked again by the sword of the beast.

‘Are you manipulating the sword this far?’

1 was similar to Seonghyeon, but now he had enough skill to have a slight difference, but all movements were blocked by the sword of the demonic beast.

“One uninvited guest is not enough.”

A demonic beast approached Seonghyeon’s eyes in an instant.

Its speed was similar to the sword he flew to Seong-hyeon for the first time, perhaps a little faster.

“Don’t mess with me.”

A fist of a normal size, but the size I felt was similar to the size of the door that had just been opened.

The hollow floor along with a tremendous roar proved that what Seonghyeon felt was not wrong.

‘stigma.’

Seonghyeon, who escaped by blowing his body sideways, looked straight at the beast and used the stigma.

to the maximum amount of pain you can inflict.

“…ね!”

Fortunately, it seemed to work.

The demonic beast, who was on the verge of collapsing on one knee, stood firm again without that knee touching the floor.

“Ah… it’s been a long time since I’ve suffered this much.”

It wasn’t that it didn’t work.

In the first place, stigma is an ability that cannot be resisted.

Despite the fact that he must feel the complete pain, the demonic beast stood firmer and stared at Seonghyeon.

“I don’t know what you did, but it doesn’t matter. To inflict this pain in itself means that he is an enemy worthy of respect.”

“Who respects whom on the subject of magical beasts?”

Seonghyun, who wrinkled his brow at the words of the demon, said as he stared at the demon.

“Masu. You are not in a position to respect me.”

“…”

Masu silently waited for Seonghyeon’s next words.

It sounds like you have enough time to spare.

“You are in a position to be afraid.”

“…a little cheeky.”

The beast, who seemed to have made up his mind to something, immediately brought his sword back into his hand and said:

“I need education.”

The beast grabbed the sword handle with both hands and split it to the side.

As if the original two swords were joined together, the sword became two swords in a perfect form.

As before, two swords aiming at the castle while floating in the air.

‘If there was no 1…’

It’s hard to accept, but if I didn’t have the ability to summon, I would probably have been fooled by those two swords.

One of the beast’s swords flew to bind 1.

The sword was divided into two, but the power was showing the same aspect as if it was not divided.

“If I remove you, this unexplained pain will disappear.”

The beast rushed to Seonghyeon with the one remaining sword.

It seems to be finished as soon as possible.
