I upgrade alone

Cheng Jin-Woo quickly answered the phone.

"Cheng, Cheng Jin-Woo Hunter?"

"Yes, I'm Cheng Jin-Woo."

From the anxious voice of the association staff, Cheng Jin-Woo could read some kind of unusual atmosphere, he asked suspiciously.

"What happened?"

- "Well, the president of the association will talk to you directly. I will connect you to the president right away."

It is a case that the president of the association needs to come forward.

Things are not trivial.

While he was calmly waiting for the president of the association to connect, the urgent voice of Wu Zhenzhe, who was waiting for the waiting tone to end, came over.

"Cheng hunter! Why can't I contact you?"

""It has been outside the signal circle until now. "

In the sea of ​​trees polluted by frequent out-of-control dungeons, their connection with the outside world was completely cut off.

But he arranged shadow soldiers one by one around the people he wanted to protect, so Cheng Jin-Woo didn't think there would be any big problem if he left.

'Could it be that during the time I stayed in the sea of ​​trees, did the super-large teleportation port in the sky open? '

In this way, the opening of the super-large teleportation port... should be more than two days left.

Various speculations in Cheng Jin-Woo's mind began to flood, before he urged Wu Zhenzhe to answer, Wu Zhenzhe explained the current emergency situation in a simple and clear manner.

"A monster has appeared in the center of City S, and the monster is causing trouble."

thump.

Seong Jin-Woo, who had tasted rest for a long time, felt his heart sink for a moment.

"How big are the monsters?"

"I can't tell the scale, because there is only one."

'one?'

Now S City has gathered all the hunters.

Those people gathered together to prevent the super-large portal from going out of control in the dungeon, and the association even provided weapons to the hunters who lacked equipment.

The momentum of these various gatherings cannot be underestimated.

'But he said that he was tormented by a monster that suddenly appeared?"

Cheng Xiaoyu on the other end of the phone was full of surprises, but Wu Zhenzhe quickly continued.

"A guild that confronted that guy was wiped out in an instant. He shouldn't be an ordinary guy."

"Where is that guy's location?"

"The current location is near the Grand Hotel in S City."

Is this purely by chance?

The moment the name of the super hotel where Thomas Andre stayed came out of Wu Zhenzhe's mouth, Cheng Xiaoyu's throat seemed to be stuck by something.

I feel very uncomfortable.

"After Thomas Andre Hunter received the news that a guild was confronting that monster, he immediately rushed over and is now on his way."

as predicted.

Wu Zhenzhe, who mentioned Thomas, had a sense of uneasiness in his voice.

how so?

Just in case, Cheng Jin-Woo assigned Thomas an extra shadow soldier.

The order given to the shadow soldier is 'as long as you feel that there is something wrong with your surroundings, you must send out a signal immediately. '

But now that the protected subjects are all alone to fight the monster that defeated a guild, the shadow soldiers didn't send a signal?

'......etc. '

Only then did Cheng Jin-Woo notice something strange.

The shadow soldiers in S City...the signal is very weak.

It seems that something is hindering the signal transmission.

'What exactly is going on?'

Enemies with great power, national power-level hunters who meet enemies, and signals that are hindered.

Is it?

A possibility immediately popped into his mind.

Cheng Jin-Woo asked hastily.

"President, does that monster have a shadow?"

"what?"

"Quickly check to see if there is any shadow of that monster."

"well......"

Wu Zhenzhe's voice was interrupted.

A few seconds later, the urgent voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"How could it be like this? Cheng Hunter is right. After confirming the results of the photo, I found that the monster has no shadow."

what!

Thinking of the fact that the ice elf who attacked Chairman Go Gun-ri was nowhere to be seen, Cheng Jin-Woo suddenly raised his voice.

"Thomas must not be allowed to fight that monster!"

Maybe the monster had aimed at Thomas from the beginning and approached on purpose.

"What? But already..."

The situation is urgent.

Cheng Jin-Woo hung up the phone immediately.

Seong Jin-Woo, who felt that there was no need to continue to listen to the explanation, tried to carry out a 'shadow exchange' with the shadow soldiers arranged beside Thomas.

And at this moment.

jingle!

At the same time as the unpleasant reminder sounded, a vivid hologram message appeared in front of his eyes.

[The specified shadow soldier could not be found. 】

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

[The specified shadow soldier could not be found. 】

[The specified shadow soldier could not be found. 】

Tried several times with the same result.

How could there be such a thing...

Cheng Jin-Woo's extremely surprised face gradually became as rigid as a rock.

'The soldier...disappeared?'

The Shadow Soldiers, which were supposed to be the location coordinates of the 'Shadow Exchange Skill', disappeared without a trace, and no trace of the Shadow Soldiers could be found anywhere.

Cheng Jin-Woo clearly realized one point.

The shadow soldier seemed to have returned to the state of 'nothing', and the line connecting the soldiers arranged for Thomas to himself seemed to be broken.

Not shadow soldiers who perish of their own will.

Cheng Jin-Woo couldn't hold back his chaotic emotions anymore.

"What exactly is going on?"

***

A steady voice came from behind Lennart.

"Step aside."

Although it is a deja vu situation, but Lennart's feelings now are completely opposite to those at that time.

"Thomas Andre"

A man tall enough to block the sun.

Seeing the towering man behind him, Lennart's expression brightened.

Thomas, however, passed Lennart and walked slowly forward.

One by two, the people who were screaming and running to avoid the monster stopped slowly.

They all recognized the hulking hunter.

"That M country hunter..."

"Thor, Thomas Andre?"

"Goliath! It's Goliath!"

Seeing the back of Thomas walking towards the monster, even the first-class hunter Leinart would have his heart beat wildly for him, let alone those ordinary citizens who ran away as if they were maliciously shoved by the monster.

Their mood is self-evident.

"Ha ha!"

"God...thank you, thank you..."

There were even a few people who were paralyzed on the ground because the best hunter came to save them.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Thomas nervously yelled at the hunters who were pinned down by that thing.
