I surrender to you!
Please spare my life!

That voice.

Are you...

I am so sorry!

You won fair and square!

Now, will you let me go? Please?

You attacked us first.
Now, you're begging for mercy?

After I killed all your men?

A knight's solemn duty
is to protect their master.

As long as I live to see another day,
they would be happy, I'm sure.

Happy they died?

Whatever.

Now's my chance!

Whatcha doing?

That was a mistake I deeply
regret, so please don't kill me!

I'll give you anything you want!

Unbelievable.

What about the entry permit?

Can you get me that?

Yes, I certainly could!

My family is holding on
to the one for this floor,

please consider it yours
as a token for sparing my life!

And not only that, I also know
where the upper floor permits are.

If you guarantee my
and my family's safety,

I would be happy to serve as
your guide and show you the way.

Your family's hiding the permit.

Now I get it.

No wonder I couldn't find it.

One question.

You're a demon.

Can I trust anything
coming out of your mouth?

O-of course, you can.

I speak the truth,
I'd never lie to you.

All right, then, you agree to give me
the permit, I'll agree to leave in peace.

I will not soon forget this kindness!

But would you mind...

explaining just what you are?

I am the eldest daughter
of the Radiru family, Esil.

Cool, but not exactly what I meant.

Huh?

I was hoping she'd give me
more information about the system,

like what I learned from Barca.

Do you demons hear
a voice in your heads?

Commanding you to slaughter
every human you see?

Oh, umm.

Well, there is a voice,
but it gives a different order.

Which is?

To protect this place
no matter what.

-When did it start?
-We've heard it since our arrival.

They came from somewhere else!

Where were you before?

The demon realm.

Then one day, we woke up
and found ourselves here.

This demon realm...

what did you do there?

War.

We were preparing
for an imminent war.

A war?

Against who?

An adversary so strong all
demonkind had to unite to face it.

It seemed a monumental war
was on the horizon, when...

Permitted amount
of information exceeded.

Ending conversation.

Permitted amount
of information exceeded.

Ending conversation.

Permitted amount...

I guess that's all I'm gonna get.

This is the damage assessment and
combat log from the winged ant appearance

on the nearby island
within Japan's borders.

It isn't pretty.

Two hundred ninety-four
civilians were killed by the ant,

and one hundred eight
hunters deployed, to contain it.

As for hunter casualties, there were
four E-ranks, a single C-rank, and a B-rank.

You'd think it was
a colony's work, not one ant.

The decisive factor was an A-rank

who arrived on the scene later
and landed the fatal blow.

So, one of these mutated ants is
on par with an A-rank hunter, then.

Hm.

That lines up with the conclusions
from the Surveillance Team's necropsy,

so I'd say yes.

The attack took place 120
kilometers from Jeju Island.

Should the ants gain any
further mastery over flight,

it will only be a matter of time
before they reach the mainland.

Contact Japan
and request to join forces.

Reach out to our neighbors, too.
Tell them to raise the threat level ASAP.

Yes, sir.

We can't put it off any longer.

Time's already against us.

I want this crisis handled
before any more lives are lost.

Therefore, as chairman
of the Hunter's Association,

I hereby initiate
the fourth Jeju Island raid.

I don't know why I
suddenly passed out like that.

I'm sorry for the extra trouble.

Nah, don't worry about it.

Are you feeling okay now?

Yes, I'm much better!

It's kind of you to ask,
considering...

Just being polite.

More importantly,
how much further is it?

It's close!

Keep going straight
and you'll reach the castle.

Then the entry permit will be yours!

What the blazes have you
allowed into our home, Esil?

Are you mad?

He may appear to be one man.

But soldiers dwell within
his shadow, hordes of them!

Huh, I'm impressed he noticed.

You have deceived her!

If this is an attempt to take
our castle, I'll see you dead first!

Father, calm down!
I can explain!

Your daughter and I
have an agreement.

Hand over the permit for the next
floor and nobody here has to get hurt.

This human must be the one
who slayed Vulcan and Metus.

I honestly don't see how we
could best someone capable of that.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Pleasurable or not,
that "business" is finished.

Now begone from my castle at once!

-There is one other thing.
-Ah?

I'd like to borrow your daughter.

Cur!

Oh, no, no, no, no, not like that.

As a guide, I mean.

She said she knows where to find
all the entry permits above this floor.

And you won't let
any harm come to her?

I swear it.

Very well.

I will allow it.

Then, we're off.

We've got this. Right, Esil?

Right!

Guildmaster Goto?

Nice. That wraps up
the 89th floor.

And for Tank and Igris,
that should mean...

rank promotion.

Now they're comparable
to an A-rank and an S-rank.

Which rounds out
my forces pretty well.

I was hoping this load
would get lighter as we went,

but I haven't had to barter
for our safe passage once.

Wouldn't you
rather keep the treasure?

I brought them to trade!

Elite nobles are stewards of the 90th
floor and above, and they're strong.

Stronger than anything you've
faced up to this point, by far.

But through negotiation, we shall
secure the permits the same way--

Esil, if I'd been weaker
than your family's forces,

would you have agreed to our deal?

That's what I thought.

You nobles are always trying to
climb the hierarchy ladder, aren't you?

I'm about to put your family
right at the top.

The Radi, uh, whatever family.

It's Radiru.

But... Sir Jinwoo?

You weren't obligated to spare
my family. What made you do it?

Guess it's because I like you.

"Like?"

First Jinho, now her.

Maybe I just get along well with people
who have a few toys in the attic.

Oh, yeah, you can head back now.

Huh?

Why?

You said the enemies
up ahead are no joke.

And I made a promise to your father.

If you tell me where to find
the rest of the entry permits,

I can take it from here.

Hold on! Do you really
find me so useless?

It's not that.

I just thought it'd be dangerous.

You've done great. Thank you.

All right! In that case,
I'm staying with you!

Until the very end!

I want to see what you
accomplish with my own eyes!

Have it your way.
Let's head out.

Onward!

Esil wasn't kidding.

I saw a drastic spike in
difficulty on the 90th floor.

Each encampment of demons,
both in strength and numbers,

were quite literally
on another level.

But I'm keeping up, clearing
the floors one step at a time.

Almost there.

I'm getting the last ingredient
for the elixir, whatever it takes.

The fourth Jeju Island
raid is in the works,

and we've both been
summoned to participate.

Of course.

President Baek from the White
Tiger Guild has also been called upon.

In fact, every S-rank from the country
should've received an invitation.

Which would include Hunter Sung.

In addition, this raid will be
an official joint operation

between us and our close neighbor.

You mean Japan.

I do.

The recent attack by one of these
evolved ants on Japanese soil proves

they're as much at risk as we are.

It's the right call to make.

I honestly don't care as long
as we kill every last one.

Have they set a date yet?

It's still under consideration, but I doubt
they'll take too much time to decide.

As we speak, hunters from
Japan's largest guild are flying in.

They'll be meeting with members of
the Association to discuss strategy.

So, this is the top floor.

Doesn't seem like anyone's around.

Uh?

That's him, the Demon Monarch.

Baran.

That's one daunting aura.

I can tell this won't be easy.

His sheer bloodlust
is making me weak.

Even Esil is feeling it.

And that creature he's on
could be a problem too.

A wyvern.

So, he commands
more than just demons.

The gang's all here, huh?

If you have an idea,
now would be the time to share!

-Sir Jinwoo!
-Yeah, I know!

Come forth!

Incredible.

He never once showed this kind
of strength on the floors below.

But the Demon Monarch
Baran, isn't just a boss.

He's a sovereign.

And Sir Jinwoo invaded his castle.

He should be eliminated.

Who do I side with?

Lord Baran or Sir Jinwoo?

Ah?

That's no ordinary lightning.

It's wide-range magic
with a stun debuff.

I can revive my soldiers, but my mana
will deplete fast if keeps using that move.

So, before he can...

I'll clip those wings!

He saw through Stealth?

A homing attack?
And it's gaining on me!

Tusk! Igris!

Sorry, but
looking up was tiring me out.

C'mon, Baran, you call
yourself a Monarch, right?

Fight like one.

Pleasure to meet you all.

My name is Hanekawa and I
belong to the Drawn Sword Guild.

This is Ryuji Goto-san,
our guild master.

I'll be interpreting
as he only speaks Japanese.

The Drawn Sword Guild.

Japan's largest, and with eleven
S-ranks, easily their strongest, too.

Also said to be the second
largest in all Asia.

Their leader...

Ryuji Goto, has an aura
that more than lives up

to his and his guild's reputation.

First of all, thank you for inviting us to
join this new strike team of allied forces.

We pledge our support.

Ah.

We should be the ones thanking
you for even agreeing to come.

We are truly grateful to you.

As the documents
that you've received state,

we've conducted our own
investigation into the winged ants.

and it's revealed a fair bit
of useful information.

If you could all turn your
attention to the screen.

We've provided a visual to explain
two critical points we'd like to touch on.

One is their lifespan.

The ants grow at an accelerated rate after
hatching, but only live for about a year.

In other words,
once we exterminate the queen,

the remaining ants will die off
within a year's time.

The second point is in regard
to their behavior.

From the previous three raids, we know that
the ants are drawn to stronger enemies.

The more mana a hunter has,
the more attracted the ants are.

As such, we'll organize our strategy
around that trait and use it against them.

We've been aware of the
ants' tendencies for a while now,

but they've described them in
quite the elaborate breakdown.

As for the plan,
you'll of course need hunters.

Of the Drawn Sword
Guild's 11 S-ranks,

10 will be contributing,
and that does include myself.

I'm sorry, did you say 10 will help?

We'll act as a decoy
and draw out the ants.

That will leave
the queen ant defenseless,

then your hunters
could move in and finish her.

But, sir. This would require
you to fight thousands of ants.

Since we're only creating
a diversion, it should be fine.

And as AI simulations have proven,

this plan has the highest chance
of success and the fewest deaths.

Ten S-rank hunters is certainly
more than we would be able to field.

The choice is simple.

Yes, that could work.

If there's no one here opposed, let's
begin tactical planning with that in mind.

I don't even have
time to down a potion.

He blocked Fatal Strike?

There goes all my mana.

Shit! My daggers!

He's too strong!

No, no, no, no!

I can't dodge!

Now's my chance.

I'll use all of my strength, and
combine it with Ruler's Hand!

That's enough!

Who the hell do you think I am?

He did it.

Are you all right?

Esil.

Head home and give
your dad this message.

From now on, the Radish family
runs this place.

Sir Jinwoo.

It's Radiru.

Not Radish.
