SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

The autumn rain is blood.

(3) ======================== 3.

[A quest on the 12th floor is given.] As soon as the voice was heard, something poured into the window.

Thug, Thug.

It was raindrops.

Raindrops crashed and slipped on the colorful windows of the audience.

For a moment, our eyes were drawn to the rainwater on the window.

I was not surprised by the sudden rain.

There was something else that surprised us even a little.

“Oh, oh, oh…”

"It's a nightmare...

It's raining nightmares again!" The color of rainwater.

The rain dripping from the window was red as blood.

No, maybe it was really blood.

The NPCs in the audience room with us started moaning with their heads covered, regardless of military and civil servants.

“Goddess, do not forsake us!”

“What, what? Why are they all of a sudden...?" The viper, exhausted from fighting the sword, looked around with difficulty.

"It's the Demon King..." An NPC wearing armor murmured.

He was lying on the floor of the audience, shaking his shoulders.

Moans flowed from here and there as if contagious to that trembling.

“The empire is now over...”

"The Demon King is coming..." "Your Majesty...

where has our lord gone...?" Among the NPCs, there was no one who was not dark-skinned.

despair.

resignation.

lament.

Their facial expressions were no different from those of real humans.

The viper swallowed the saliva.

“Hey, these guys are funny.

Hey.

Is this all directing? What else is going on?”

“The quest has begun.”

I said quietly.

“Because I don't think we're going to fight any more if we stand still.

If it is difficult to cause more infighting, we have no choice but to attack directly.”

“Attack? who?" “Who would it be?”

I stared out the window.

“He is the one who induces infighting by offering us some kind of compensation.”

Laughter ran through my mind.

[The Demon King of Autumn Rain confirms your words.] Shoot AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA The rain got stronger.

The sound of rain, which was as cautious as knocking on the window at first, became a commotion in an instant.

Dozens of drops, hundreds of drops, and thousands of drops of red flew through the window.

“·················ogue.”

I walked towards the window.

There was no outside view from here.

It was raining so heavily that the entire window was stained red.

I smashed the glass window with the hilt and smashed it.

Clink! Red raindrops poured into the audience room.

It was only then that I could properly see the outside.

in the middle of the palace.

The imperial palace was spread out outside the audience room.

Beyond the Imperial Palace is a city.

Beyond the city is a huge wall.

[The demon king of autumn rain appears.] It was beyond the wall.

- Poor things.

It opened its mouth slightly and whispered.

Yes.

It was a whisper.

With just a whisper, its voice jumped over barriers, jumped over the countless walls of the imperial palace, and finally flowed into the broken windows.

-If you say that you summon humans from another world and place them in the middle, where would you like it to be your shield? You call them heroes, but do you really think they are heroes for you? It rained incessantly.

- Where can I call you? Feel free to call What else could be the reason for not calling? Summon thousands of warriors and tens of thousands of knights.

They too are just humans like you.

Your foolishness knows no end and is pitiful.

A voice echoed in the innumerable raindrops.

echoed through the city walls.

It rang on the wall of the palace.

It rang on the wall of the audience.

it laughed It was a big laugh.

The sound of laughter echoed and echoed, making the skull ring.

“Uh, ah…”

NPCs put their heads down even more.

They ripped open their heads in pain.

Fortunately, things were better for hunters like us.

Unlike the NPCs, we first heard the Demon King's laughter.

It was bearable.

If I had to hear laughter like that all year round, it would be a different story.

-Those who don't see humans as humans.

That was the time.

A map only visible to me.

mini map.

Red dots began to appear on the map illuminated by the blessing of the war god.

one.

two.

three.

The red dot that started to appear on the mini-map slowly multiplied in an instant from a certain moment.

hundreds.

thousands.

tens of thousands.

Soon, everything beyond the horizon was painted red.

- Swallow by your malice.

Lightning struck.

The sky and the earth turned pale in an instant, and the things between them were exposed.

All the red dots on the map were monsters.

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

Hunters kept their mouths shut.

An army of monsters that cannot even be compared to the 11th floor stage.

Countless armies were approaching from beyond the horizon.

- Kirr.

-Kek, Kek! The monsters howled.

teeth spread out twisted his neck Raindrops ran down the goblin's twisted face.

To them, the rainwater of blood seemed to be holy water.

Like knights in the great temple, the monsters looked up to the sky and worshiped the red rain.

“I told you .

.

.”

I gripped the hilt of the sword.

“Now is not the time for us to fight.”

And the letters were spread out in front of my eyes.

+ [Battle of the Imperial Capital] Difficulty: A~SSS Mission Objective: Heroes! You bravely fought against the Demon King's forces and defended the supply route.

The Demon King, who sensed the crisis, participated directly.

The Demon King can summon an army of monsters anytime, anywhere.

The place the Demon King is aiming for is the heart of the Aikim Empire.

The capital city is Hakamnia.

Fortunately, the power of the Demon King is weakening as he manifests far away.

Stop the Demon King! ※However, if you lose the battle, the 13th floor will not be open.

+ There was a moment of silence.

"...weak?" The viper murmured involuntarily.

“That?”

It was the expression of everyone's feelings.

“This is...

absurd.

how do i clear it? It wasn't a quest designed to wake up in the first place.

Even if it was a tutorial up to the 10th floor...

the difficulty level was too different.

something like this.”

“Until there.

Let’s calm down.”

I turned my back and looked into the audience.

There were hunters.

Behind the hunters, NPCs were desperate.

“We can.

The tower does not give out quests that cannot be cleared.”

“But, how do we defeat such a number of monsters...?”

“So, I’m telling you to calm down.”

I pointed to the NPCs.

“We are not just hunters here.

Did you choose it yourself and forget it? poison lord.

You are the [Captain of the Imperial Guard of Aikim].

If you are the captain of the SS, you have to lead the SS.”

“·················ogue.”

“We cannot break this stage with only our hunters.”

okay.

“Convince the NPCs.

stand up Take the lead.

Treat the NPCs like you would a real person and somehow lead them to the battlefield.”

The 11th floor was also attacked in that way.

“We must not fight each other.

Swordsman.

You are the commander of the Imperial Knights.

The knight commander and the bodyguard commander fight each other with swords.

Will such a country properly prevent the invasion of foreign enemies?”

“·················ogue.”

“Did you think it was an advantage to receive the knight commander’s reward? A benefit is an advantage.

But with rights, you also have responsibilities.

Like it or not, we have taken over [role] at the head of the empire, and now it's time for a role play.”

I turned my gaze to the paladin.

The paladin was looking at me with a serious face.

“Minister of Foreign Affairs.”

"Well." “Now this is the audience room, but the emperor is not in sight.

There must be an emperor somewhere in the palace.

Bring the Foreign Ministry civil servant NPCs to find the emperor.

Without the boss, the NPCs will not follow you properly.”

The paladin nodded his head.

"I know." “Captain.”

I looked back at the Inquisitor.

The Heretic Inquisitor lost his right arm, but he only smiled softly.

Rather, he was watching me with an interesting face.

"Yes! If it's the general, it's me!" “I hate hunters like you.

I really hate it.

Someday, I will see a relationship with you, I felt it after seeing what you were doing earlier.

But, we must not lose you, who is now the number of generals.”

“Ahaha.

I like Kim Gong-ja Hunter more and more!”

“I told you to entrust all the power to me, so shut up and listen to me.”

I said looking at the map.

There was little time.

The red waves were approaching the capital more and more.

“There will be a lot of soldiers on the wall.

Monsters are rushing in front of you like a tidal wave, but there's no way you're mentally sane.

As a general, you go up to the wall yourself and exhort the soldiers.”

"Well! It’s a noble oblige!”

“No matter what happens, please defend the wall.

When the wall is broken, this stage is over.”

"do not worry." The Inquisitor smiled.

“I have never broken a promise since I was born.

I risk my life to protect it!”

"OK." I looked to the left.

“Then I will go first.”

It was a time of war.

4.

Faat! Pot! Upon leaving the Imperial Palace, the remaining hunters were being summoned one after another as latecomers.

"Wow.

Where else are you?”

“It’s good that it’s not a scruffy port.”

Hunters looked around the streets of the capital, like tourists who came for sightseeing.

“Eh, acid rain? What color is the rainwater…”

“Get under the roof! hurry!" "Hey.

You want me to choose a role as a reward?”

"role? What is your role?”

The successors did not understand the situation at all.

Is it because they arrived later than us? 'Well, even the top rankers on the 12th floor were suspicious of each other and fought.' He even killed three people on suspicion.

What about the successors? I couldn't expect much from the hunters who just entered the new stage.

'I don't have time to convince the hunters right now.' Even at this moment, the demon lord's legion is approaching.

'For now, try blocking the attack with NPCs!' I ignored the hunters and ran down the street.

The street was terribly crowded.

But luckily I had a minimap.

I steadily stepped on the shortest path to the fortress wall.

“Gongja Kim.”

It was just when I left the palace.

Someone appeared next to me.

“Witch?”

“Call me Black Dragon Master.

I don't really like my tinnitus.”

witch.

The second-ranked hunter suddenly appeared and ran alongside me.

Did I put an auror on my footsteps? The witch ran down the street as if gliding.

“How did you suddenly appear here?”

"...it's my skill.

momentary transition.

You can go anywhere you can see.”

It was an opening skill.

- Hey, zombie.

Kill him once! It's a momentary match, so it's too sweet! I don't know about the other guy, but if he's going to kill me, I'll admit it.

Die now! I asked, ignoring the hint of the background.

“Then what do you do without going to the wall first?”

“I came to pick you up.

Of course.”

The witch replied expressionlessly.

Even though he was running, he didn't look tired at all.

“I saw you on the 11th floor.

Do you have a sword that can be eaten by NPCs here? Even if you don't know what kind of sword it is, if you have it, you can raise the morale of NPCs.

You are the person the soldiers on the wall need now, not me.”

The witch looked at me.

“Agree.”

"Yes?" “Agree with me clearly in words that you will momentarily transfer with me.

Otherwise I can't move you.

It’s a limitation of my skills.”

I was a little embarrassed.

"Wait.

If it was a moment ago, wouldn't it be an S-class skill? Is it okay if you tell me all the restrictions like this? It’s a secret move.”

“It’s a strange word.”

The witch wiped her forehead.

Red raindrops were constantly falling over us.

Her white forehead was also covered with hair from the rain.

The witch's black eyes looked at me.

“According to you, I am the prime minister of this empire.

Isn't it natural for the prime minister to take a trump card to protect his country?" “·················ogue.”

“I don’t have time.

It doesn't matter at all, so please agree." I nodded.

“I agree to the use of the skills of the Black Dragon Lord.”

That was the moment.

The witch reached out her left hand and took my right hand.

Kwok.

Rain-drenched hands wrapped around me.

Long fingers interlocked at me as if not to slip in the rain.

"Huh?" “-There is one more restriction.”

The witch took my hand and whispered.

"transition." Paah! In the blink of an eye, we reached the top of the wall.

As expected, the walls were a mess.

Even though the army of monsters was coming in front of me, the soldiers of the Empire did not respond.

No, I couldn't deal with it.

The soldiers hid behind the walls and trembled or prayed to the gods.

“It’s over….”

"Oh God.

Have mercy on us, and please forgive our pity.”

“Hey, hey, uh… uh…”

NPCs.

But people who are no different from living humans.

Even if they were like illusions, even the fear they felt was not an illusion.

Even the expressions on their faces of despair were not in vain.

“Lord of the Black Dragon.

Thank you for taking me.

From here on, I..." “Wait.”

The witch sighed.

“You can’t just show your juniors your ugly side and get kicked out.”

"Yes?" “It’s not like I sat still and became the guild leader.”

The witch took a deep breath.

and opened her lips.

“-Soldiers of the Aigim Empire!”

A black aura flowed from the witch's body.

Black was a little darker than red.

“Stand up! What are you guys doing on the wall? Are you thinking that the stone wall will protect you by itself? Do you not know that the barriers that truly protect our empire are not stones, only you, the soldiers of the empire!”

The soldiers crouched behind the wall raised their heads one by one.

“Jaesang...?”

“It’s Jae-sang.”

murmur murmur.

To the soldiers, the witch seemed to shine as their prime minister.

Someone recognized the prime minister, and his words were quickly spread through rainwater.

The witch nodded her head.

“Stand up! I command you to stand up.

One day the walls may fall and our hometown may be destroyed.

But as long as you stand up, the Empire will not fall, our Aikim Empire! Because you are the Empire!”

It was completely different from usual.

“Stand up!”

The witch was furious.

The cold expressionless expression left no trace.

The witch looked down on the walls with a furious expression on her face, and whenever the witch's gaze passed over the soldiers, the soldiers were drawn to them as if caught in a net.

“Stand up, soldiers of the Empire! O Kim's last fortress! Now, warriors who are the Empire itself! Grab the spear! Grab your sword! Until there is no more to hold, until there is no more hand to hold the spear! Stand up for the Empire, for yourselves!”

The witch clasped her hands.

my hand.

“God protects us!”

The witch raised my right hand upwards.

I realized what I should do now.

Shreung! A holy sword was pulled out of the scabbard.

I grabbed the hilt and lifted it high.

A barrier with red rain showers.

In the midst of it, the blade of the holy sword shone brilliantly.

The white light penetrated the rainwater and shone on the faces of the soldiers.

“Sword of the Progenitor...”

“It’s a holy sword.

This is the holy sword that the goddess testified!”

and.

[The Guardian Goddess thank you for your choice.] [The Guardian Goddess wields the final power.] There was light.31.
