-Could you stop the camera? -Sorry?

Stop the camera, or I'll break it.

Oh! No problem, sir!

Hunter Sung.

What are you planning to do with Byung-gu?

I asked you a damn question! What are you doing?

What I have to. We're running out of time.

Arise.

The chairman has called for the execution of plan nine.

Are you ready?

Are you insane?

Sending us back to that island is sending us to our deaths!

You'd understand if you'd seen that freak in the flesh!

He killed Goto-san, like it was nothing.

The new ant is dead.

One of their hunters was able to take it down.

They killed it? Really?

Do you still insist on staying behind?

A skill that lets you raise and command the dead.

So it wasn't your ordinary summoning magic, then.

Byung-gu.

A voice called out to me.

It was Hunter Min, saying I should use his power to save her.

I can tell he was a remarkable person.

Healing Hunter Cha without even a word from me.

He was the best of us, wasn't he?

I get why he wouldn't want video evidence of this.

The fiercer the battle, the stronger he grows.

What a terrifying ability.

But now, what happens to Byung-gu Min?

Hunter Sung.

If you carry on as a hunter, I have no doubt

Byung-gu's healing magic will serve you well.

Thing is, he always hated fighting.

He only signed on for this raid,

because he believed it would be his final mission.

Please keep it that way.

You grabbed my shoulder again.

Just like back at the red gate incident.

The only difference now, is it's not an order,

it's an earnest plea for your friend.

You don't have to worry. I was thinking the same thing.

Release extraction.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

How are they still alive?

Hunter Sung arrived and proceeded to defeat the new variant.

I can see that, idiot!

How is he there?

You said he decided not to participate in the raid!

Based on the magic power readings, all we can say is he appeared out of nowhere.

This is a nightmare.

And on the heels of losing seven of the ten S-ranks we sent!

Chairman, do you still want us to go through with plan nine?

Any further casualties will undercut our ability to respond to domestic gates

and could have lasting ramifications on the global balance of power.

What's your call?

We're pulling out.

Withdraw immediately.

Understood, sir.

Why are they after us now? They weren't before!

Do I look like I know?

I thought the queen was dead already!

That's your answer right there!

With no one to lead them, they're all over the place!

Stay sharp! They can't reach the mainland!

Ain't gettin' past us!

Now let's show these bugs what the Knights Guild can do!

You're givin' me strength to keep fighting!

Hurry! The ants are everywhere!

Isn't this a prime shitshow.

The ants are going berserk trying to flee,

and most of them are heading straight toward the mainland.

We should leave before they block our route out of here!

I couldn't agree with you more.

Let's board and take off.

What about Hunter Sung?

He told us he wanted to stay behind to take care of the remaining ants and eggs.

It's tough to admit, but in our condition, we'd just slow him down if we stuck around.

And while she's no longer in mortal danger,

we should have the medic team examine Hunter Cha as soon as possible.

I get experience points for smashing unhatched eggs.

Lucky me.

Demon Monarch Sword, heh.

Damn right it is.

Feel kinda bad for not using it earlier.

All right, guys.

Knock yourselves out.

Level 100. I've hit it.

He may be dead, but I can still feel an immense aura.

Arise.

Why is it all dark?

I can't sense anything.

Did something happen with the extraction?

I'm back.

Thought I botched it for a second there.

Guess we're good.

Let's go wake your pals up, too.

My king.

Did you just talk?

Yes.

None of the other shadows talk, so why can he?

Please grant me a name.

I beg you.

"General" rank?

Never seen that before.

Is speech a perk of this rank?

Actually, I've got a bigger question.

You know I was the one who killed you, right?

So, do you still wish to follow my lead?

I do, for I did not die.

By your hand, Master, I was reborn.

I am filled with overwhelming joy.

I swear to serve you for eternity.

So, please, grant me a name.

Beru.

The name I grant you is Beru.

I am honored, Master.

Now, where was I?

Arise.

Guess they got past the hunters at sea.

We're the last line of defense!

Stop them here or die trying!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

How the hell do we fight these things?

All tanks get in front!

Don't let them reach the cities, whatever you do!

That's a lotta ants.

They cannot organize themselves without a leader, so all 4,000 are scattering.

There are still that many?

Can you shave that number down for me?

If that is your wish, my king, you need only say the word.

Go.

All right, nice job!

These things are dangerous!

Don't be a hero, just take down one at a time!

If everyone works together, we can survive this!

Mister Song!

Are you okay? What happened?

I'm not really sure.

That blue light.

I could be wrong, but...

I think that light saved us.

Jinwoo must've sent it.

There are too damn many!

Why aren't you lighting them up?

If I did, I'd wreck the helicopter!

This is the worst.

Not a lot we can do to help in midair.

Huh?

We were saved twice in one day, by the same man.

They should be able to make it back now.

And so...

the ants that managed to break through the island's perimeter

were held off by the scores of brave hunters standing guard in the field,

their efforts significantly minimizing the damage to the mainland.

All but one of our country's S-ranks returned to us.

And, Hunter Cha, who remained unconscious, was safely transported to a hospital.

It was a hard-fought battle and not everyone walked away from it.

But despite the casualties,

the emergent threat from the island was successfully neutralized.

The fourth Jeju Island raid to clear the dungeon break, ended in our victory.

We've got more visitors from far abroad.

That's two days straight now.

They're just about within firing range.

Jianzhang, I'll notify the mages on standby.

Preparing to intercept the incoming ants!

-Sailors, man your stations! -Belay that order.

It seems China's hero wants a little bit of exercise.

Can't sit around all day.

And here they come.

Hao ba, let's send some vermin to a watery grave.

If I'd gotten a crack at the black ant instead of that Jeen-whatever guy,

might've actually had some fun.

A shame.

Several days have passed since the successful Jeju Island raid,

and a memorial has been erected in honor of the lives lost,

with a large crowd coming to pay their respects.

And here we see S-rank hunter, Jinwoo Sung, approaching the monument.

His contributions to the raid were immense to say the least,

and it's arguable that we would not have succeeded without him.

Some are calling him a hero...

But at the same time, there are more critical voices asking

whether there would have been fewer casualties

had Hunter Sung agreed to participate from the very beginning.

Please hold your head high.

No matter what the public thinks, the one who ended this tragedy...

was you, Hunter Sung.

Hm?

I doubt anything I say could express my sincere and unwavering gratitude.

But still, please allow me to thank you for your service.

No, sir. If I had just left for the raid a bit sooner,

then maybe I could've saved Hunter Min.

You did save five other S-ranks, though.

Not to mention the remaining defenders and the citizens who would have died

had they fallen.

You should be proud, not ashamed.

I give you my word that you will be rewarded however you wish, in due time.

-I appreciate it. -Hm.

Now, I was wondering, about your plans for the future.

-The future, sir? -Yes.

Thanks to this raid, your power has been demonstrated on an international level.

I doubt the public will leave you alone anytime soon.

And what the Association can't ignore

is that you'll be approached by all sorts of people with various motives.

Which is why I feel the need to ask you.

Hunter Sung, just what will you do with all the power you wield?

When you fight, whose battles will they be?

I've been thinking about starting up a guild of my own.

How the hell did we get stuck with cleanup duty

on the day of the memorial ceremony?

Well, dumbass, maybe because this is important stuff, too.

Someone's gotta kill the stragglers and collect the resources.

And gettin' delegated to tie up the loose ends shows they trust me.

But...

But nothin', kid.

A real man does the job he's given, nice and smooth.

And he doesn't bitch about doin' it either.

You are so awesome!

Hold it!

Jeju Island is off-limits to civilians!

Identify yourself!

Look, whoever you are.

This ain't an open invitation, you're not supposed to--

What did you do?

I just had them take a little nap.

All that noise was bothering me.

In any case, was it him we sensed?

Yeah, it was definitely his power.

I don't know why he'd willingly lend that power to humans.

It's very strange.

His behavior is nothing new, but if you're curious.

You could just ask him yourself.

If given the chance perhaps.

We got one answer at least.

Let us return with this knowledge.

Wait, isn't one of them here?

I think this area would be best left to him.

In other words, you don't want to get involved.

The hunt will commence as we planned it.

That hasn't changed.

Yeah.

I guess it really isn't worth the extra trouble.

Quite the stench, though.

She'd be less than pleased if she caught a whiff of this.

Traffic sucks.

Did you, uh, ask about the guild?

Yeah, Chairman Go gave us his approval, so we're good.

Wow! Just like that?

I'll get straight to work finding us an office, then!

-A guild? -Excuse you!

Jinwoo, you have to promise that you'll hire me, okay?

I'll be a devoted guildmate!

This is an important business discussion!

Okay, okay, bye, hanging up.

Those two.

For real though, the hell's going on with this traffic?

Hello?

Hunter Sung. It's Chairman Go.

Is there a problem with the guild, sir?

No, I'm calling about a gate.

You said it's down this highway?

It's a B-rank but it'll be a while before our hunters can get there.

Ugh, but I can't go without the Association's permission.

Haha, who do you think you're speaking to right now?

The big man in charge.

One vehicle at a time, please!

-The association needs to fix this stat. -Where are the hunters at?

What? The hunters are caught in all this traffic, too?

Then, what's the plan?

Hey, did you just...

Rude.

Hey, I'm here to close the gate.

Right, Manager Woo just told me but, you're the only hunter who's arrived so far,

and it might be a minute before the other ones show up--

-Let me solo it. -Sir! Wait!

I know it's only B-rank, but it is still risky to go alone.

It's a red gate!

Yep.

This is a red gate.

I don't understand how this keeps happening to me.

The exit's closed till I beat the boss and I have no clue how far this forest goes.

Should've called Mom to tell her I was gonna be late before coming in here.

Well, if this is all there is, it won't take long.

Now, let's try to make this quick.

I saw he came to the service.

This raid proved that I still have a lot to learn.

I was no help in the end.

My mission was to save our country and I had to be saved.

But, not him.

I want to catch up to him.

I want to stand at his side.

And to do that...

I need to get stronger.

Hunters are born to hunt, and in dungeons where survival is far from guaranteed,

they have to be prepared to become the prey.

See, the tides can change at any given moment.

They're always one wrong move away from death, but never willing to back down.

Doesn't matter how strong, or how numerous the enemies.

Because they've all got something to fight for.

To protect their family.

To uphold their ideals.

To prove who they are.

To defy fate.

Hunters will continue to hunt.

And not a single one is ready to stop.

Let's move on to the next target.
