    Episode 47

    “May there be brightness in the future of the challenger.”

    -Great Shaman Candiaru

    A phrase discovered by hunters.

    It was a record that had never been discovered in Egyptian history.

    Hunters were naturally outraged by that historic discovery.

    The number of people taking risks to come to this small city of Kamaru has increased.

    However Ber who was quietly listening to Esil next to him made a strange expression.

    [Candiaru?]

    “why?”

    Suho looked at Ber.

    [This is a familiar name.]

    Ber rubbed his chin with an expression of interest.

    [Great shaman Candiaru. He is the designer of the level-up system.]

    “designer? “Why would someone like that scribble on a pyramid?”

    [I don’t know that much. Isn’t that building quite older than that?]

    “that’s right.”

    [Kandiaru was a shaman from the Hwan tribe who dreamed of eternal life.]

    Grand Shaman Candiaru.

    He was originally a shaman who aimed for transcendence and eternal life.

    And in the end to achieve that goal we signed a contract with the ‘rulers’ and designed a level-up system.

    The person who was completed with that system was none other than Su-ho’s father Shadow Lord Seong Jin-woo.

    “So what are you doing now?”

    [His whereabouts have been unknown since the War of the Lords. Did I really receive eternal life or did I die….]

    Ber gazed at the pyramid in the distance with meaningful eyes.

    [There may be traces of Candiaru left in that pyramid.]

    Suho nodded.

    The content of the emergency quest is to eliminate the cause of the dimensional crack.

    For Candiaru who created the level-up system it would not have been difficult to create a dimensional rift.

    It felt like a puzzle was coming together in my head.

    Suho turned his attention to the pyramid.

    “Let’s go right in.”

    “Now wait!”

    As Suho and Esil tried to walk towards the pyramid the guards urgently called them.

    “…?”

    When they looked back in confusion the guards stopped them with an awkward expression.

    “They say I have to be careful if I’m going to enter the pyramid now?”

    “why?”

    After that when Suho looked at Esil as their conversation continued for a long time Esil quickly translated.

    “To summarize there is a guild that has recently monopolized the pyramid by force.”

    “Guild?”

    Suho made a puzzled expression.

    * * *

    Scavenger Guild.

    It was one of the large guilds in the United States founded by S-class hunter Thomas Andre.

    Thomas Andre who was the UFC unlimited weight champion before his awakening had no opponents in the ring and did not step down as champion until his retirement.

    Then when he reached his old age he suddenly awakened to become an S-class hunter and now he has become one of the strongest hunters in America with no rivals even outside the ring.

    As a guild founded by such a person the reputation of the Scavenger Guild was unrivaled in the United States.

    The scavenger’s symbol is strength.

    Although there were many infamies under the guild leader’s theory that the powerful would win everything.

    It was also a guild that was responsible for the safety of citizens by slaying a large number of magical beasts.

    “Still I don’t think all the Scavenger Guild members came. “The numbers are hostile.”

    Esil a walking translator skillfully translated the guards’ words.

    So it was natural for the guards to be worried about Suho and his group.

    Entering the pyramid monopolized by the Scavenger Guild meant confronting them.

    However Suho who had to proceed with the quest had no other options.

    In the end despite the guards’ dissuasion Suho and Esil entered the village.

    And then I walked straight towards the pyramid.

    [Crumple.]

    Shuuuuk.

    Arachne who had worked hard up to this point naturally hid in the guardian’s shadow and only then was she able to free herself from the gaze of the villagers.

    ‘hmm. The atmosphere of the village….’

    Suho crossed the street and observed his surroundings.

    Hunters with great and small energy were living all over the village.

    At first glance it looks like an ordinary village.

    However I could clearly feel that all their attention was focused on the pyramid. Because I was ready to run towards the pyramid at any moment.

    But why can’t they do that?

    “…those guys.”

    A group of tough-looking men stood guarding the entrance to the pyramid.

    * * *

    Gerald the B-rank Hunter of the Scavenger Guild was the head of the gatekeepers guarding the entrance.

    He had been in a bad mood ever since he was dragged here a few days ago.

    ‘What kind of prophecy or superstition is this that brought people all the way to Egypt?’

    And to make him do nothing but guard the door under this scorching sun.

    Gerald’s already grim expression became even more grimy under the hot sunlight.

    “What are those guys again?”

    Meanwhile.

    I frowned even more when I saw the two men and women slowly approaching the pyramid.

    Gerald asked the subordinate next to him.

    “what? “Didn’t you notify all the hunters in the village?”

    “I said. “If you approach the pyramid you will be considered hostile to the Scavengers…”

    “Then what kind of shit are these guys? Do you have two lives?”

    There was a reason why Gerald deliberately talked to his subordinates.

    Most hunters have good hearing.

    This was a kind of warning and a threat to kill him if he came near.

    And of course his words also reached Suho’s ears. Of course I couldn’t understand the meaning because it was in English.

    Esil also had no intention of interpreting such words.

    “It keeps coming up?”

    Suho and Esil were climbing the stairs of the pyramid one by one when the distance between them became closer.

    “hey.”

    When Gerald winked at his subordinates the Scavenger Guild members attacked Su-ho without any warning.

    “Get out of here you bastards!”

    Shuhuaaaah!

    “uh?”

    Suho tilted his head as he looked at them.

    Are you going to attack me like this?

    “We couldn’t communicate anyway but it worked out well.”

    Suho smiled brightly and pulled out his dual swords.

    Sometimes a fist is a more effective way to communicate than a thousand words.

    “Storm slash.”

    [Use ‘Skill: Storm Slash’.]

    Wow!

    “Huh?!”

    A sudden sand storm.

    The bodies of the scavenger guild members who were running down the outer wall of the already sloping pyramid stumbled.

    * * *

    Meanwhile a fierce battle was taking place inside the pyramid.

    The inside of the pyramid has been eroded by the dungeon and turned into a labyrinth.

    There were other hunters here who were exploring the labyrinth even before the Scavenger Guild arrived.

    The Scavenger Guild’s attitude towards such hunters was oppressive.

    “You guys have two options. Either go away or die.”

    “Aren’t these completely crazy bastards! “We came here first!”

    The hunters who confronted him were red from anger to the top of their heads.

    Rio Singh a B-class hunter from India’s Asura Guild had been exploring the labyrinth for a week.

    However those who came in later tried to force them out by force.

    No hunter would meekly back down in a situation like this.

    “Everyone prepare for battle!”

    Shout!

    The Asura Guild as its name suggests were by no means easygoing.

    They all possessed dual swords and the red swords extending from each of their weapons were truly reminiscent of Asura from mythology.

    The moment they got into full-fledged combat readiness a terrible killing encroached on the area.

    The Scavenger Guild who had looked down on them because of their small numbers had no choice but to harden their expressions due to that momentum.

    Lio Xing raised his dual swords and revealed his teeth.

    “You can’t come all the way here and go back empty-handed. “It would be best not to take us too lightly.”

    Rio Sing was a promising member of the Asura Guild.

    However due to the nature of India which is a class society one could never move up without a clear criminal record.

    In particular this matter was of extreme interest within the Asura Guild.

    Lio Xing volunteered for this job to raise his status.

    ‘If I return empty-handed I will be kicked out of the guild.’

    “What are these guys?”

    Randolph who leads the Scavenger Guild members was a little taken aback by the response of the Asura Guild which unlike other Hunters had no intention of backing down.

    But then what?

    Smirk.

    “They are the ones who need to see blood.”

    The corners of Randolph’s mouth rose and an evil smile spread.

    “Murders that occur inside a dungeon cannot be held accountable. “Kill them all!”

    Whoa!

    At that moment the entire body of the Scavenger Guild members was wrapped in Auror armor.

    While the Asura Guild’s vanguard was centered around dealers the Scavenger Guild’s vanguard was made up of tanks.

    ‘It’s not a good match.’

    At that moment Lio Xing felt an instinctive sense of crisis.

    The intimidation of the well-organized tanks was reminiscent of a gigantic beast.

    A battle between spear and shield.

    However in such a narrow space where it was difficult to wield a weapon the shield was overwhelmingly advantageous.

    “Knock them all down!”

    Aaaah!

    Scavenger guild members rushed forward with excellent defense.

    “Expand the space!”

    At Rio Sing’s shout the Asura guild members mercilessly swung their dual swords and collapsed the blocking wall.

    Qarring!

    Then the secured space.

    “Everyone attack!”

    Snap clap clap clap!

    The spear and shield or rather the sword and shield clashed.

    “Just struggle!”

    Randolph crushed his opponent with overwhelming force.

    I was a little embarrassed because they struggled quite a bit but the result didn’t change anyway.

    “Your humble blades will never be able to pierce our armor!”

    In the end it is overwhelming power that decides the outcome of the fight!

    Among them the guild members brought in by Randolph were all scavengers who boasted ignorant strength.

    Ku-kwa-kwang!

    “Ahh!”

    The Asura guild members were thrown away helplessly by that cruel force.

    “Cut the seams of the armor!”

    Lio Xing’s orders were effective.

    No matter how solid the tanks were they were not invincible and there were clearly gaps in their armor that could not protect them.

    But the Scavengers themselves knew better than that.

    And they were trained to put pressure on their opponents by filling in the gaps with each other.

    “Haha! “You can attack wherever you want!”

    Randolph shouted loudly and came running like a truck throwing Lio Xing’s body away.

    Pow!

    “Whoops…!”

    Lio Xing flew backwards and landed miserably against the wall.

    Blood was spitting out from his mouth.

    ‘Is this the end…!’

    It was then.

    Gurgling!

    I heard the sound of a wall collapsing in the distance.

    And a pair of men and women sneak into this fierce battle.

    “uh?”

    Su-ho who reached this point by breaking down the walls of the labyrinth happened to make eye contact with Lio Xing.

    Then he glanced away and this time made eye contact with Randolph.

    Suho nodded silently and turned around.

    “hmm. “Keep doing your business.”
