Arise.

Good.

How long has it been?

About three hours.

Which would mean three days have passed on the other side.

And red gates are supposed to be especially brutal.

Welp, it's fair to assume this punk's as good as dead.

What a huge waste of time.

Oh, and just to be clear...

Jinwoo Sung isn't with the White Tiger Guild, right?

So, I gotta wonder what business he has

with your strike team if he's unaffiliated with you.

Hunter Sung is an acquaintance of mine, he wanted to observe a C-Rank raid,

so I brought him in.

Is that all?

Do I really seem that gullible?

Just what have you dug up this time?

You've always had a knack for sniffing out hunters of interest,

so what makes an E-Rank--

Dongsoo Hwang.

Take your filthy hands off of him.

D'you think that you can order me around?

You're just a big fish in a tiny pond of a country.

Say that again.

This is bad!

If they aren't stopped soon, we'll have an S-Rank battle on our hands!

You wanna go?

It was way too cold.

Yeah, we didn't have the right gear with us.

That's... that's why we lost.

I was wondering where all the bears went!

Did those E-Ranks do this?

No, those weaklings could never!

I forgot, the Slayers.

They're coming! Shit!

I'm almost impressed.

It'd be less impressive...

if you hadn't held back at the last second.

My arms surely would've been blown off.

While I don't know what his significance is to you, Hunter Hwang,

I will at least say this...

I was able to re-evaluate Hunter Sung two months ago.

He was an E-Rank then, and he's an E-Rank now.

The Surveillance Team declared your brother's cause of death

as KIA while fighting a magic beast.

Right, perfect way to silence public inquiry.

And laughably fake.

The real killer's gotta be that rich little turd from Yoojin Construction.

If that's what you believe, I'm confused as to why you're after Sung.

It isn't obvious?

I wanna spill some blood...

and I've got a great excuse.

Hm?

The bastard lucked out.

W-wait a moment!

None of them understand Hunter Sung's power, but I do.

He'll definitely walk out of this gate alive.

And then I realized, I had no money left to buy gear!

What?

It was horrible! My math was all wrong.

That's just how expensive it was!

What the hell?

How are they even alive?

With winter coats, blankets, a tent, and... and food!

Oh, I get it now.

Hey!

Captain?

My team was wiped out 'cause we didn't have the right gear or supplies!

While, you're out here enjoying a damn cookout?

-Hey, calm down. -Which one of you is the hoarder?

Who was keeping all of this a secret?

You got my teammates killed!

Heejin Park.

I'm scared!

You knew... from the get-go.

That's why you went with them.

I'll consider everyone guilty if you don't answer!

So, somebody'd better talk by the count of three!

One!

Two!

Whether they confess or not... I know it was Sung!

Three!

Four.

You're blaming your comrades' deaths on who, exactly?

-Mister! -Great timing!

I also see you brought unwanted guests.

Drop the Stealth. You can't completely mask auras that strong, anyway.

Are those ice elves?

Yeah, it's a whole platoon of 'em!

Along with the boss.

This is quite the surprise, indeed.

It appears even scum can be competent.

How ironic, calling human beings "scum" when you elves are the ruthless killers.

Well, more competent than I thought!

Interesting. You actually speak our language, do you?

But why do I speak it?

That's nuts. You're having a whole conversation with that guy.

This is the system's doing.

I'll make this simple since you understand me.

Allow me to reintroduce my friend.

He told me there was a strong one among your group.

He wants to challenge you in a battle and--

And?

You amuse me.

He's not gonna be easy.

This keeps getting better.

I have to ask, though.

Why mingle with humans and pretend to be one when you're obviously not?

What?

Considering your reaction, I suppose you aren't aware?

We can hear a voice inside our heads.

Always saying, "kill humans", but, there's no such instruction

when it comes to you.

A voice giving orders?

Kind of like the system directives.

If the voice isn't pitting them against me,

I can only assume it's because I'm the Player.

Surely you'll agree that we've no need to fight.

So, let's handle this sensibly, shall we?

Give us the humans who're cowering behind you.

Once you do, we'll leave you be and depart.

Well? What say you to our offer?

I say tell me who you guys are.

And why you're fighting humans.

In truth, we are...

Give us the humans who're cowering behind you.

Once you do, we'll leave you be and depart.

What was that just now?

Well? What say you to our offer?

Do we have an agreement, or no?

No, we don't.

You honestly intend to make enemies of us instead?

We clearly outnumber you...

if you haven't noticed.

Sure about that?

What's happening?

Um, are these knights and bears on our side, or is that wishful thinking?

They're made of shadow. Every single one of them.

And Hunter Sung... must be their master.

What an outrageous waste of time.

Oh, you think so?

Stick around and find out.

Get out of their way!

I don't think any of us will be much help in this fight!

I see why he was so confident.

Though my summons are immortal, they can't respawn without mana.

I have a lot, but it's bound to run out.

Then there's the boss.

I can tell he's stronger than me.

This'll be a challenge, even with Igris.

My regular soldiers won't cut it.

I need something more powerful.

I am called Barca, might I have your name as well?

I'm Jinwoo Sung.

It's been ages since I've enjoyed a fight this much.

Huh?

What the heck was I hit by?

You're gonna pay!

My mages bought me some time.

Now, then.

You're in trouble if that's the best your soldiers can do!

Jinwoo Sung!

You die!

Even the humans want you dead!

Futile!

You cannot hide from me!

Jinwoo Sung!

You die!

Captain Kim. I knew I could count on you.

Futile!

You dirty... bastard!

Somehow you knew...

this would happen,

from the start.

Damn it all!

Arise.

You cannot hide from me!

From now on... your name is Iron.

You understand?

You truly are most amusing!

But your new toy won't be as much fun in pieces!

A lumbering giant with no agility!

Just wondering, but would you call this the standard?

As far as hunter battles go, I mean.

If it was, do you think I would've chosen this career?

I've never seen a fight like this.

It's real? We're sure it's not an illusion?

This one leaves me wanting more.

Stiffen your spine and get over here!

Bring your knight with you, too!

On our way.

All right.

You die first!

He dodged a fatal blow after all that?

Persistent as ever, but I suggest you quit taking me lightly.

You're definitely strong, I admit.

But, hey...

least your strength in numbers is gone.

Huh?

Ah?

Very well.

Let's see what your rabble amounts to without you!

Throwing away your weapon like a fool?

Iron, now!

How dare you disrespect me this way?

I am going to slaughter all of you!

Looks like it's over.

Don't give me that!

It's over when I say...

I said...

it's over.

He was tough, but I did it.

Oh, my God, Iron!

I just said it's over!

Show some restraint.

Don't make me regret you.

We're safe now, aren't we?

Yeah.

We should get going.

Our gate's waiting.

Yeah!

We're really leaving this place and going home!

I was holding my breath!

I think we all were!

Well, we can breathe now!

Before I go...

At this point, I would estimate that a week has passed inside the gate.

President, why don't you go on home and rest?

Kichul and I can wait here.

With our guild members trapped inside, I'll stay right where I am.

At least till morning breaks.

Look! They're coming out!

Nice job, Kim!

If anyone could pull through, of course it'd be you!

President Baek's here!

Hunter Park. Hunter Go.

I'm glad to see you're both alive and well.

But what about the others?

Hunter Sung's back!

Yes!

I totally called it!

It closed.

That's all?

No one else?

Not even Kim?

Mm-hm.

Except for Park, you're all lower ranks.

So, what went on in there?

Let's go, I'll drive you home.

Oh, um, cool.

Hang on a second.

I have questions and you're going to answer them for me.

No thank you, save them for someone from your guild.

I'm tired.

I wasn't making a suggestion, I was giving an order.

Perhaps you're not aware, but I lead this guild,

and six of our members are now gone.

As their president, it falls on me to find out what happened.

While that might be true, I'm the reason your surviving tigers even lived.

As their president... shouldn't you show me the proper gratitude?

Please, excuse me.

You're absolutely right.

I'm sorry for getting carried away.

-Hunter Park. -Yes, sir?

Who in the world was that?

Doesn't seem like he's looking to make any friends.

Guess not.

After he beat the boss, his mood turned sour all of a sudden.

Well, yeah. Who isn't crabby when they're dog-tired?

Doesn't make him a bad guy.

Get to work, Ahn.

You have got to recruit him.

I want that hunter in our guild, whatever it takes.

Oh, sure!

Looks like I was right about Jinwoo Sung all along.

Good night.

Get home safe.

Hm.

Um, Jinwoo?

Hm? Not "Mister?"

Thanks for today and all the days in the gate.

And, um, just so you know, I'm going to be counting on you next time.

Okay.

I forgot. Only a few hours passed here in our world.

I didn't walk away completely empty-handed, but...

Nothing I could do if my level wasn't high enough.

Damn it!

I doubt a fourth attempt would've helped.

A lot of effort for almost no gain.

Almost...

I guess.

That makes three times.

Hurry up, Jinwoo. I'm gonna eat without you!

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Top of the morning, boss!

You're seriously wearing that?

It's lit! Now let's head out!

Oh, and, um... there's someone we gotta pick up on the way.

Who?

Morning, Captain Yoo! You good?

Uh, yeah, I'm great.

Thanks for the lift... Jinwoo.

Not "Mister?"

Did you get any sleep last night?

Are you kidding? Not even a little!

Yeah, I guess I did get you home pretty late.

She got home late, and didn't sleep?

I get what it means, b-but I don't want to!

-Take a nap, I can wake you up. -H-hey, uh, Boss?

Hm?

Miss Han is underage.

You do know that, right?

What about it?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

-Let's wrap these raids up fast. -You got it, Jinwoo!

Uh, huh.
