Chapter 115: Requirements

“I refuse.”

Dal-soo sighed and closed his eyes at the expected answer. He wished to get Ji-woo on board for their expedition in the dungeon that the Vanguard Team wanted to raid.

The Demigod Guild only had three S-rank hunters, which meant it was still not at the safe limit to hunt in a tier-5 Portal Gate. The existence of Ji-woo would surely increase their combat power. And the chances of them being able to close the Portal Gate with very few casualties were very high.

As for the re-evaluation, since there was no absolute answer, Dal-soo had high hopes and still had a chance to find out a little about Ji-woo’s strength.

If Ji-woo exceeded his expectations and turned out to be an Apex-ranked, then without a doubt, South Korea’s position would rise internationally. There were only five countries with more than one Apex-ranked hunter. South Korea would be sixth if Ji-woo indeed one of them.

So, what was the benefit of being one of the strong countries in the current era of hunters?

One would have privileges in trading high-end magic items and weapons. They would get prioritized by sellers who want to sell those things in bulk. Even those greedy sellers who only think about profits in all transactions could provide concessions and were willing to get paid in installments. For only to get a favor from those countries.

It was like a testament to the credibility of the superpowers. Many would believe that if the world were in the middle of chaos, only those countries could survive the catastrophe. It was also an attraction to mercenary hunters or small guilds from poverty countries to become part of them.

However, Ji-woo’s presence would absolutely invite the jealousy and greed of some individuals or guilds.

High-rank hunters usually always had preferential treatment and were often disliked by lower-rank hunters or among their peers.

Also, the oddity of Ji-woo that could enter all tiers of the Portal Gate would be a valuable asset for a guild.

Dal-soo looked at Ji-woo. ‘Although he is now in the Demigod Guild, he doesn’t seem too interested in guild activities.’ He knew he couldn’t do anything if Ji-woo didn’t want to and prepared to turn around but got stopped by Ji-woo’s words.

“I don’t mind joining the team for a tier-5 Portal Gate in exchange for a few things.”

Dal-soo stopped in his tracks and looked back at Ji-woo. “Sure. Just tell me what you need.”

Ji-woo didn’t answer right away and just stared at Dal-soo. Before long, he opened his mouth, revealing what he needed in exchange for the favor.

“100 Magic Crystals, 50 Magic Stones, and two Portal Gates of any tier. Also, if any Spheres the guild acquires in the dungeon later, they eventually will be mine. It doesn’t matter how many they are.”

Dal-soo widened his eyes, hearing the condition. If converted into money, it was more than half the price of a tier-5 Portal Gate. It was pretty reasonable considering the odds obtained in the dungeon and the increased safety of the hunters. The only problem was that it was not money but in the form of goods. Magic Crystals were still better to ask for as a condition, but Magic Stones were quite tough to provide. That was because not many people were willing to sell those items.

“Deal. We’ll be going to the tier-5 Portal Gate in two weeks. See you later that day at the Demigod guild headquarters.”

Dal-soo agreed without hesitation. Both items only needed time to prepare. If necessary, the broker could get ordered to do the task.

Tough didn’t mean it was impossible.

Hundreds of millions of won were easy for S-rank hunters and above. For them, what was difficult was to spend the money, but the desired item was scarce or not available.

The Demigod Guild had many spare Portal Gates. Clearly, one or two more given to Ji-woo wouldn’t be a problem for Dal-soo.

He also didn’t think much of the Sphere either because he didn’t know what it was for and why Ji-woo needed it wasn’t his priority.  Now, with Ji-woo definitely on the list of hunters in Team Vanguard, he could choose the other hunters calmly and leisurely. At the very least, his prediction of them successfully closing the Portal Gate was up by about 10 percent.

The hunters have rarely entered the tier-5 Portal Gates. It was because of the danger, and it was different from lower-tier Portal Gates. The size of the dungeon was like that of a city in developed countries. That also meant the number of creatures was quite a lot more than usual.

In South Korea, during the seven years of the Portal Gate, only three times have hunters ever entered the tier-5 Portal Gate. Two of them ended in failure, and one succeeded with high casualties. As for the tier-6 Portal Gate, only once did the hunter enter it. And the result was unsatisfactory, aka no success at all.

That was why the tier-5 and tier-6 Portal Gates needed preparation to be able to close successfully. It couldn’t get done halfway.

Previously, there was fresh news that came for the hunters and the people in South Korea.

The Artates Guild managed to storm the tier-5 Portal Gate dungeon with few casualties. That made them one of the guilds with the best record and could be considered the best guild in the world among several other guilds.

This news certainly made the head of the Demigod guild even more excited to enter the tier-5 Portal Gate after previously having planned for it. And Dal-soo got assigned to take care of recruiting hunters with the skills needed in the dungeon.

“Am I asking too little? Anyway, it’s good for me. The more Portal Gates I have, the more my wealth will grow.”

Ji-woo tilted his head while looking at the back of Dal-soo walking in the distance. What was meant by wealth was money and magic items which definitely got needed for his plan.

His goal was to make the country of South Korea free from the Portal Gate and began by making the Mapo district free from those threats. It would start when he had sufficient funds and left the Demigod guild. That would happen after the tier-5 Portal Gate. It was the only way he could ensure the safety of his family.

However, Ji-woo needed to postpone his plans because the price of a factory cost billions of won, especially one that was in the same area as an office building.

He shook his head and walked away from where he stood to observe Dong-hyun and Yu-jin earlier. Just thinking about it wouldn’t solve it. He better called Seok-jin and asked if there was a Portal Gate available.

Time was money. And it could be an activity to pass the time while waiting for the Nullifier to refine Rare Mana from the Chrono Sphere and Darkness Sphere.

On the other side of the universe, in Redredane, the Sanctum of the Dead.

The Lycanthrope, Bane, was talking to the Great Warlock inside the large stone castle.

“The new door already has the restriction lifted. You can go over there and take care of it, Bane. Don’t disappoint me.”

“Yes, my Lord. This subordinate of yours will not disappoint.”

“How about Tor’zek?”

“He’s been obedient these past few days. He never once expressed his displeasure despite having to go in and out of that unrestricted door.”

“Hm, that’s good. But, why does your face look displeased with that?”

“Milord, Lucifer is too close to Tor’zek to the point that I feel the Doom Bringer is no longer your subordinate.”

Bang!

The Great Warlock hit the handle of the steel throne hard. He was angry at Bane’s words.

The Seven General Redredane were the most powerful subordinates of the Great Warlock who should only obey him. He could take that as treason from General Redredane, Tor’zek. However, he couldn’t just express his anger.

Moreover, if he really had to behead Tor’zek under the pretext of treason, then the army under him would not remain silent.

The Great Warlock didn’t want a civil war between the creatures that lived in Redredane to happen. It would cause their combat power drastically to drop before they could take over a new world to inhabit.

He tried to suppress his anger and told Bane to let the matter go.

“You don’t have to worry. I will kill Tor’zek if he dares to disobey me!”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Bane bowed his head and left the room, leaving the Great Warlock alone.

Elsewhere in Redredane, Tor’zek stood in front of the unrestricted door that he needed to protect. The door was similar to the Portal Gate on earth. And the size was big, the same as tier-6.

Before long, a creature with a hood came carrying a dwarf toward Tor’zek.

“My lord. I brought what you asked for from Redredane prison. No one knows about this, and you can do as you please.”

“Good. Leave it here. You can go back to the prison.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The creature with the hood left Tor’zek and the dwarf alone. Tor’zek then glared at the dwarf while asking.

“From where you came from, is there a creature that can match a Mana user without Mana?”

The dwarf gulped and replied while stuttering. “Y-Yes.”
