Return To Level Up

Chapter 147

Ha-jin Kang looked through the news list on the tablet.

Most of the news contained at least one of the words Rocky Mountains, Canada, and Guardians.

The conquest of the Rocky Mountains has been successfully completed.

There was no longer a need to panic over the monsters in the Rocky Mountains.

In the future, just like in the United States, you can check and close the dungeon through periodic exploration.

Even if the dungeon explodes, it will be different from the past. Anyway, it can be dealt with.

Canada decided to take this opportunity to train a large Awakening Force.

They decided to entrust the defense of the Rocky Mountains.

We also study the remains discovered this time in the Rocky Mountains.

The last name Kang Ha-jin obtained has not yet been found.

Reidros’ castle was also difficult to observe as it was the monarch’s legacy.

The moment Kang Ha-jin came out, the surrounding vines grew wild and wrapped around the castle.

It’s probably really hard to find the castle if you don’t get close.

He read some articles.

It was a story that a joint operation between Canada and the Guardians was a great success and reclaimed the Rocky Mountains.

It was an article that made the Guardian almost a hero, and exalted the Canadian government who recognized such a Guardian.

Perhaps it was an article that was blown by the Canadian government.

It was not only the Canadian government that moved public opinion.

The Guardians also contributed. Also, the supporters of the Guardians did their best.

Some of the articles touched the Defenders.

There was a rivalry between the Defenders and the Guardians in the Rocky Mountains, and it was an article that the Defenders gave up and left.

Seeing that it was an article that understood the relationship quite deeply, it seemed that it was an article provided by the Guardian.

Maybe Yoon Kyung-min came forward.

‘Is Jason going to have a fever?’

The Canadian Rockies were where the Defenders worked hard.

Perhaps it would have been successful if it had proceeded as it was.

At just the right time, the situation changed as Ha-jin Kang received Seretrop’s legacy and became a combat soldier.

Unless the Defenders do something special or gain power, the gap will grow bigger and bigger in the future.

‘By the way, when will the giant dungeon appear?’

Considering that the progress was faster than before the regression, it should have already appeared even if it appeared, but the fact that it hasn’t appeared was a bit strange.

‘I’m sure it didn’t go back to the original speed…’

If there was any change, it must have been related to Hajin Kang.

Even if it is not what you see right away, eventually, there will be strong Hajin at the beginning of all changes.

‘Then, what has changed from before the return?’

There were so many changes that it was difficult to count them all.

First of all, the fates of Ji-hye Kim and Ji-young Lee changed.

The fates of Yoo Dong-hoon, Myung In-hyuk, and Myeong In-soo have changed, and so is Hwang Soo-young.

I haven’t been able to figure it out exactly yet, but Jung Ah-yeon must have changed a lot as well. Of course, like Hwang Soo-young, Myung In-hyeok, and Myung In-soo, he must die, but he will not survive.

Yoon Kyung-min has also changed a lot.

And unlike before the return, Ji Chang-gi died.

Except for such a big thing, countless people who should have died have come to life.

Because I could make a big difference in the first disaster.

‘By the way, there were some who were chosen by Gaia.’

They are also one of the variables.

Of course, it is difficult to compare with Hajin Kang, but it was necessary to keep an eye on each one.

‘I’ll have to look for it.’

It is impossible to know exactly what Gaia is, but it is definitely not something that everyone just chooses.

Clearly he had a purpose, and it was almost certain that his intention was to prevent Marbas’s invasion.

So, wouldn’t it be meaningful to gather the power of such people together?

Currently, Kang Ha-jin is in New York.

After taking care of all Canadian affairs, he was invited by the American Awakened Association in New York to come here.

The Guardians’ guild members who were with them all returned to Korea, leaving only a minimum number of members.

Even the minimum number of people decided to return to Korea when all work in Canada was completed.

Of course, the newly selected guild members in Canada were going to set up a branch there and work mainly in Canada.

Hajin Kang took out his phone from the subspace.

Ha-jin Kang, who was staring at the phone, gave a sad expression.

Now, sooner or later, horsepower engineering will develop rapidly.

The current level was very basic. It was all that a drone using magical power could do.

However, the use of magic was only a small part.

There were almost no limits to what Dong Hoon could do.

From here on, new talents were needed.

However, the problem was that Ha-jin Kang did not have any information about him.

Before the return, the center of magic engineering was the Guardian.

The core technology for all magic engineering started with the Guardian.

Magical engineering was applied to the phone I am using now, and it allowed me to use electronic devices freely in the dungeon as well as exhibiting much greater performance.

The best talents in magic engineering were in the Guardian.

The reason Kang Ha-jin doesn’t know much about them is that the Guardians managed them in a very tight security.

No words came out at all.

In fact, if Ha-jin Kang wanted to know, he would have been able to find out somehow, but at that time, he did not feel the need to do so.

The research that Hajin Kang did was other than magic engineering.

He was more interested in phenomena that were made only by magic power.

Of course, he couldn’t even continue his research except for a few things, including Ah Space.

Because hunting was much more important to him than research.

But looking back now, Jason was very thorough.

The things developed by Ha-jin Kang were also later overlaid with the power of magic engineering, producing even greater results.

Hajin Kang only made good use of what was made like that.

He had no choice but to do so. As time passed, the technological gap between the magic engineering research team and Ha-jin Kang widened enormously.

‘The more I think about it, the sadder it gets.’

If only a few people were involved in the Guardian’s magic engineering research team at that time, it would be a great power.

With that thought in mind, Hajin Kang called.

After a few signals, Yoon Kyung-min’s voice was heard.

-master. Have you already arrived in New York?

“It has been a while since I arrived. What happened to the site you mentioned?”

– It seems that we will be able to find a suitable site. It is located in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do.

“North Gyeonggi-do? Is it Uijeongbu or Dongducheon?”

-no. This is Paju.

“Pajura…….”

Paju-ju was a better location than I expected.

-The Guardian is setting up a new headquarters, so the government has stepped in. He said he would sell the land he owned at a low price.

“It’s okay if you dig it. You need to get as much land as possible. You know?”

– Leave it to me. It’s going to be very messy. The signs are not very good in Paju these days, so there are probably many people who are going to sell the land.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

-Dungeons are popping up too often in Paju these days. Most of the things are sorted out on the Dungeon Breaker line, but everyone is trembling with anxiety about whether something big will happen.

Ha-jin Kang listened to Kyung-min Yoon and thought deeply.

‘What happened to Paju?’

However, no matter how much I think about it, there has never been a special incident in Paju.

In fact, Paju was almost devastated when the first disaster and the first Newtype dungeon appeared, so even if something happened, there was nothing particularly memorable.

“Do dungeons appear so often in Paju?”

-Yeah. It’s almost like a dungeon raid, so it happens so often.

“Are they all newtypes?”

-no. It is mixed. There are of course more regular dungeons. However, it is clear that new type dungeons appear more frequently than in any other area.

“Is the frequency increasing?”

-Yeah. At this point, it is said that the dungeon is just pouring out.

Obviously, that’s a serious situation.

However, no matter how much Paju was devastated before the return, if such an incident had occurred, there was no way Ha-jin Kang could not remember it.

It is an abnormal phenomenon that dungeons appear so frequently.

“I’ll have to watch it with some interest. Please send the remaining Guardians to Paju.”

– I will. And we will secure more land.

After that, Kang Ha-jin discussed a few issues and hung up the phone.

“Pajura…….”

No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to my mind.

Hajin Kang tilted her head and picked up the tablet.

It’s evening here, so it’s probably morning in Korea

He tried to access the Korean portal and check some articles. But at that moment, the list of articles began to be covered with breaking news.

The title was all about Paju and Dungeon.

The accident happened in Paju.

* * *

“come! Everyone get ready!”

At the sight of dozens of monsters rushing in, all of them were tense and their whole body was full of strength.

It was difficult to experience in Korea, so I was even more nervous.

Gwagwagwagwang!

The monsters and the awakening collided with a violent binge.

Fierce battles took place everywhere.

What happened in Paris, France, happened in Paju.

The difference from Paris was that three dungeons exploded instead of just one.

As the three dungeons burst, the number of monsters that came out was enormous.

However, the dungeon breaker and the guardians, who were watching the place in advance, were dispatched and effectively blocked it.

The only problem was that there were so many monsters that there were so many monsters that escaped back.

The awakenings of the other guilds who arrived late and the awakenings belonging to the association fought hard, but the damage was getting bigger and bigger.

However, it was fortunate that the public was not harmed too much.

The material damage was serious, but the human damage was not great. Of course, it wasn’t completely absent.

When everyone was fighting like that, Dungeon Breaker and Awakenings of the Guardians were put in second.

Some of the Awakened people scattered across the country were hurriedly called in and put in.

Obviously, Guardians and Dungeon Breakers were different.

The awakenings of other guilds swept away the monsters that were barely blocking them in an instant.

Then he joined the fiercely fighting colleagues and cleaned up the situation there.

Compared to the accident that occurred, this was really good at preventing it.

But to the people who had a place there, it was like a lightning bolt.

The problem was that the situation in Paju’s dungeon didn’t change at all, even after that happened.

Things got pretty serious.

* * *

Ha-jin Kang was constantly informed of the situation in Korea from New York.

He breathed a sigh of relief at the report that the situation had been resolved, but his mind became very complicated.

Obviously the future has changed.

If an accident like this had happened, there would be no way that Ha-jin Kang could not remember.

In fact, the dungeon incident that took place at the Luxembourg Park in Paris rarely occurred except for the second disaster.

And even if it happened, one dungeon exploded like a fly, and there was no case of three dungeons bursting at the same time like this time in Paju.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At least, that’s how Kang Ha-jin’s memory was.

‘I’ll go back as soon as possible and take a look for myself.’

Hajin Kang’s heart was a little rushed.

So she contacted the American Awakened Association and asked them to expedite the schedule.

The American Association, knowing that it was because of the Paju incident, immediately responded to Kang Ha-jin’s request.

The vice president came directly to the hotel where Ha-jin Kang was staying.

“nice to meet you. Andrew.”

“This is Hajin Kang.”

After shaking hands, the two sat down.

Andrew knew that Ha-jin Kang wanted to return to Korea in a hurry, so he went straight to the point.

“Aren’t you thinking of doing a joint operation with the Defenders?”

“A joint operation with the Defenders?”

What Ha-jin Kang immediately thought of was the Canadian Rockies.

It wasn’t really intentional, but it was similar to a joint operation until the Defenders left.

Of course, it was a joint operation that was closer to competition than cooperation.

“It seems to be a slightly different case with the Rocky Mountains. It’s because we’re attacking huge dungeons.”

“Did a giant dungeon come out?”

Hajin Kang’s eyes widened slightly.

“When and where did you come from?”

“It hasn’t appeared yet. But I’m telling you because I think one will appear soon.”

Ha-jin Kang looked at Andrew with a strange expression.

“Do you think it will come out? Have you ever completed the dungeon prediction system?”

Andrew smiled bitterly.

“It’s not quite that far yet. It’s not easy because I have to use an ignorant method.”

‘In an ignorant way? What is it?’

Kang Ha-jin’s eyes deepened.

Anyway, it was clear that the development of the dungeon prediction system had tangible results.

It must have been the Defenders who developed it, so this time it was just one shot.

“So when and where do giant dungeons occur?”

“Honestly, I don’t know when it will happen. I just know there’s not much time left to open. The location is Hawaii.”

“Hawaiian….”

Hajin Kang was a bit strange this time too.

He doesn’t remember everything he did before his return, but a huge dungeon never appeared in Hawaii.

There are many huge dungeons that Ha-jin Kang did not experience, but he knew all the huge dungeons that appeared in impressive places.

If a gigantic dungeon appeared in Hawaii, he couldn’t forget it.

“How is it? Is it possible?”

“For now, the matter is too big to make a decision right now. I don’t understand why the Defenders want a joint operation.”

“I fully understand. Learn more and decide. Once you accept, I will pay the price to your satisfaction.”

That means you have to gather information on your own. It’s hard to say on your own.

Ha-jin Kang greeted him politely and looked at Andrew’s back with a strange gaze.
