Chapter 274: Dark Earth Gate – 1

#1

Central South America had the largest monster zone on Earth. Bordering Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia, and Venezuela, there was a large jungle centered on the Amazon River even before the gate appeared. Now it was combined with the creatures from Elus so in that massive jungle, there was an incredible diversity of monsters and wild animal species.

It was a hunter’s paradise, often visited by American hunters as well as the national hunters in South America. It ranges from one-tier monsters that could be raided by general people to seven-tier monsters dedicated to attacking raids and was the world’s largest hunter base.

‘Blue Diamond’

The name of the base might not seem very appropriate, but all the hunters who have visited this place would raise their thumbs, saying that only this name could fully express the place.

Blue Diamond, the city which occupies most of its bases, had the world’s largest hunter auction house and a fortified amphitheater with new and emerging sports.

Hunters and hunters, hunters and monsters, and monsters and monsters fighting, this place was a good landmark of the city, symbolizing that monsters were no longer a threat to humans.

The amphitheater, which could accommodate 100,000 spectators, was now full of silence.

Was the game that intense? No, there were no announcer’s breathless cries and no cheers. The Hunters who fought in the stadium were also looking at the huge multi-vision display that occupied one side of the stadium without any action.

Wobble… Wobble…

On the Multivision, the letters spelling, “red danger” were constantly crossing the screen, and it shows a large unknown monster trying to get out of the gate with a blood fountain.

“Crrraaaaaaaaaakkkk”

It was a giant monster of the Dark Earth who screamed in pain as it hung at the gate of 105 meters in diameter. The gate was already devastated by the monster’s struggle alone. The problem was that this was not the only situation here. Some Dark Earth gates that existed all over the world have begun their activities.

*CRUMBLE*

In the center of the city of Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, there was a dark earth gate that occurred about 30 years ago and was closed. Under the Hunter Law, the public can’t live in a one-kilometer radius of a closed gate, but its location was in the center of the city. For those who were now acclimatized to danger, the huge concrete walls blocking the gates were just part of their everyday life.

Now everyone here stopped to hear the dull ringing from the closed gate. At first, they thought it was an earthquake. Earthquakes were common in Japan. But the origin of the ringing was not so far. It was a concrete wall that blocks the Dark Earth Gate.

Kuwoong!

“What?”

“What??”

People walking on the road gathered in the barricades in front of the concrete wall.

At the time, the Japanese government vowed that there would be no danger because it was the strongest closed gate on the planet, but their faith was shaking little by little now.

POWWWWW

Along with the roaring thunder, something gigantic, presumably a horn, pierces through its thick barriers and sparkles in the sun. The faces of those who were filming it with their cell phone cameras turned pale without even thinking about running away.

“GYYYAA”

A woman’s sharp scream rang. Beginning with screams, people began to scream and run away.

Thud! Kukukung!

The rocks made of concrete fell to the ground, and the vehicles passing under it became flat on the rocks. What would he say if the mayor of Hiroshima saw this scene after he had promised he would kill himself if the gate broke through?

“Run!”

“AAHHH!”

When it fell off the gate, it looked like a small piece of debris, but it’s actually a ton of rock.

KUUOOOOOO

The falling debris was scary, but through the pierced hole, the scream of the monster was even scarier.

BOOM ! BOOM!

With a louder sound than before, the snout of the monster that probably just screamed a little while ago came through the hole. It was a mouth with hundreds of teeth, which were like saw blades. On each side of the mouth were two long horns, like those of a wild boar, which were twisted off and the concrete wall was torn apart like a sponge.

“Monster Alert! Monster Alert! Mihara citizens are advised to move in order to the nearby designated shelters or subways. I will inform you again… Monster Alerts …”

The voice of the angry announcer rang in the distance, but no one was listening to it. The gate continued to break. How much time has passed? A giant foot-like thing popped out of the holes and stomped the ground.

ZzZZzZZZeeeeek

Its feet were so heavy it dug the ground deep.

*cars crashing and screeching*

The monster’s body slowly starts to exit the gate. The size of the monster was enough to fill the gate, but after a while, the monster that had completely escaped began to smash the streets.

But this was just a prelude, thousands of red eyeballs flashed through the huge holes that the monster penetrated, and the monsters of the Dark Earth were pouring out. They began to make full-scale hell.

[Closed Dark Earth Gates Chain Explosion! The scene of catastrophe that has become hell because of the monsters that poured out!]

A catastrophic event that could be explained by this one line of headline had happened all over the world.

Today, around 30 o’clock at Pacific Time, around 30 of the world’s closed Dark Earth Gates have generated monster waves that were estimated to be 8 to 9 tiers. The magnitude of the devastation that occurred 60 years ago was unpredictable, and it was estimated that hundreds and thousands of people were already injured. The affected nations were calling all hunters with the highest level of Monster Alert. The countries that have been identified so far are Russia, the United States, Japan, China, Korea, Italy, Morocco, India, and Canada, and each country was doing its best to block the gate with all monster defense systems in operation.

“The World Hunter Secretariat is requesting the dispatch of hunters from unaffected countries to the affected country as soon as possible, but each country is refusing the request of the World Hunter Secretariat because of their own Dark Earth Gate management.”

In addition, Korea, one of the victims of this wave, was known to be successfully blocking all waves, unlike other countries.

“In accordance with the International Hunter Law, the World Hunter Secretariat issued a forced mobilization order of six or higher hunters. Under this decree, this mobilization rule prohibits all commercial raid activities, and all hunters are given command over their efforts to defend against monsters. In addition, the World Hunter Secretariat asked the Master Archer to aid the victims as soon as possible.”

The World Hunter Secretariat tried to resolve the situation quickly with a forced mobilization order. However, the countries that escaped the situation strongly opposed the forced mobilization order.

Since there was no guarantee that their gates would not open up the same, the countries tried to keep their hunters as many as possible.

Korea was no different.

No, the Republic of Korea was rather free from the forced mobilization.

While one to two gates broke out in other countries, five Dark Earth gates exploded in Korea. Fortunately, the ROK was well prepared for the Dark Earth Gate, so no damage to the civilians occurred.

Is it possible to force a victim to release their troops? At this time, both domestic public opinions and politics raised their voices not to release the Master Archer.

Only one day was enough for the world to turn over. Thirty of the 216 Dark Earth gates that have been identified have exploded.

The number of people killed in one day was 800,000, including missing persons, and the damage could not even be estimated. What made it worse was that it was still in progress.

The whole world began to talk about the Master Archer.

It’s not like there was no way to raid a tier-9 monster, but it must account for some damage. To raid the tier 9 monsters did not simply lie in the power of the hunter. Hunters and the military must work together.

There must be at least attacking raids with three of them going in and two raid teams in reserve. At least 3 tankers to tank 9-tier monsters and dealers have to be at least a 6-star hunter.

In addition, it was not only the nine-tier monsters that came out of the gate. At least hundreds and thousands of monsters appeared.

[When is the Master Archer going to appear?]

[South Korea Hunter Secretariat ‘to solve the chaos in the Republic of Korea first’ prevented the release of the Master Archer.]

Just a few days ago, the media in various countries, which were all consistent with critical articles about Jaehwang, said that only he could solve the situation.

But South Korea was silent.

“Cruel!”

A huge hand with long claws picked up a bus that was stopped by the side of the road.

SSHHwaaanngg! Kwaa Aang !!!

The bus split in half, and a man rushed into it. The debris flew but the lightning strike surrounding the man protected him from all that. The monster that threw the bus to the man opened its mouth.

Zzzzwwaaaa

A long green liquid spouted and everything that it hit bubbled and melted. It’s a terrible acid that even melts rocks. The man pulled his fist back, staring at the acid breath.

Papak! Papapak !!!

Sparks started to clump together. Soon, when it was about the size of a fist, he flew towards the air and fired the sphere of lightning at the monster.

Ttuuuuuuuuwww

Flying like a canon, it hit the monster’s crown.

But compared to the size of the monster, it was too small. Is it at most half the size of the scales covering the monsters?

“Qqqqqueeeeekk Eck !!!”

A blood fountain spouted from the top of the monster’s head. The lightning ball shot by the man went through the crown of the monster.

The monster’s giant body collapsed slowly.

Kuwoong !!

A monster crashed with a loud explosion. From the place where the lighting ball dug into, hot steam rose with blood. It’s not just penetrating; it has completely cooked it inside.

Tatak …

The man landed lightly on the body of the monster and had a beard and his hands behind his back, but there was no beard caught on his hand.

“Wow!

Shouts were heard from the surroundings, but the man shook his head with a stretched chin to see if he did not like his beard. Thanks to his grandson, he was happy to jump over the wall, but he suffered through vertigo and his proud white beard disappeared.
