Hyun remembered the solo raid that hunter Oliver was going to do on the rank 6 dungeon inhabited by a dragon.
Hyun immediately headed toward the dungeon. Luckily, the distance between him and the rank 6 dungeon was fairly close. Whether it was fate or coincidence, Hyun no longer cared. All he could think about now was the safety of Sera, his younger sister.
Upon arriving, many people had already gathered to witness the first-ever solo raid on the rank 6 dungeon. Desperately, Hyun sought a way to enter the dungeon, even if it meant being a sacrifice. Ignoring the angry shouts directed at him for barging in, Hyun also disregarded the system's warnings, which seemed crucial.
Master! Master! Don't get too close to that man…
As Hyun stood before the crowd, Oliver was preparing to enter. Hyun tried to push through the guards to meet Oliver. However, in the guards' eyes, Hyun was just a nuisance forcing his way to meet Oliver, causing chaos.
Oliver only caught a glimpse of the commotion there. He often saw people forcing their way in just to meet him. But this time, the person causing the commotion seemed to be someone from the association office. Oliver remembered sensing something unusual about someone at the association office before.
Oliver stood up and walked toward the person. He told the guards to let him in. Once permitted, the person immediately sat down and pleaded to be allowed in, even as a sacrifice.
Oliver stared straight at him. Oliver saw into the person's heart with the "eyes of judgment."
It is known that the "eyes of judgment" can see the deepest part of a person's heart, whether it be desire or something hidden. When he looked at him, Oliver only saw despair and something deeply endless. Additionally, Oliver also saw someone hugging a little girl who seemed to be his sister. None other than that person was despair itself.
With "eyes of judgement," Oliver saw what he desired. It was to heal his brother who was experiencing an early awakening; an elixir from the dragon race was needed. Oliver understood that desperation. And for the endless void, it seemed to be his job. "Eyes of judgement" indicated that it was a job where the user would become stronger by absorbing everything without disturbing it.
Hearing this, Oliver turned and instructed to follow him inside.
Hyun, who had been sitting and pleading, felt that his hope to save his brother was now open after hearing the words from the UR rank hunter, Oliver. Hyun quickly stood up and followed Oliver from behind.
Just before entering, Oliver said, "Your brother will be safe, don't worry."
Surprise appeared on Hyun's face. However, before he could realize it, Oliver had already entered the dungeon, causing Hyun to disregard Oliver's words and hurry in after him.
As soon as he entered, a vast world unfolded before Hyun. The place they stood in was a wide plain with several wyverns flying above it.
For each dungeon, there is a different dimension within it. Like this dungeon, which is a vast plain with trees, the previous dungeon Hyun entered was a cave-type dungeon. Seeing how expansive this dungeon was made Hyun wonder how to find its boss. And before Hyun could ask, he was enveloped in light.
"Wait and see, I will finish this quickly."
It seemed that this was a shield created by Oliver for him. Hyun understood why Oliver did this. Right now, Hyun was nothing more than a burden that could die at any moment in this vast world. Additionally, it seemed that this shield was very strong to withstand the attacks of several wyverns.
When he first read about Oliver, Hyun felt that his personality would be that of a indifferent and cold person. With his black eyes and hair, Oliver became an easily recognizable hunter among other high-rank hunters. One very striking thing about Oliver was that he wore three hair clips on his head. According to some news, those hair clips came from his younger sister. Like him, Oliver also had a younger sister the same age as Sera named Meddie.
Oliver also wore a cap that made him look like a hero, and that cap stemmed from his younger brother's desire to have a heroic sibling. Just like now, where Hyun sees Oliver as a hero with his cap swaying in the wind.
According to the news Hyun read, Oliver's job is Light and Dark, allowing him to control both elements. He also possesses a unique trait that he has yet to reveal.
There, Oliver summoned two swords of light and darkness in both hands. Seeing the mana reaction made the wyverns dive toward Oliver. One thing Hyun wanted to witness was how top-ranked hunters fought. And it seems that desire would soon be fulfilled by the number one hunter in Korea.
As the wyverns were about to attack with their fiery breath, Oliver moved very quickly, slicing them into small pieces. Hyun, who witnessed the event, felt that it was not something a human could do. Even during the dungeon break ten years ago, no hunter could accomplish such feats.
Oliver moved very quickly as if he were the light itself, cutting through the remaining wyverns. The event lasted no more than 10 seconds with the bodies of the wyverns falling.
"Is this the power of those who have reached rank UR?"
Hyun's admiration was shattered when the system called him.
Master! Because of the hunter's "eyes of judgement," the job "Devour" has been revealed!
"Wait, what! So you mean the owner of the "eyes of judgement" is Oliver?"
Correct, master!
"Then, what will happen if someone finds out about it?"
Hyun felt a bit worried. He didn't expect that his job would be revealed this quickly, even by hunter Oliver?
It seems the master has high luck.
"What do you mean?"
Fortunately, the owner of the "eyes of judgement" is a guardian.
"Guardian? Wait, what do you mean by guardian?!"
Sorry, master, the authority I have is not enough to explain it.
….
"Wait, if I reach level 10, can I absorb power from the UR rank, Oliver?"
No, you need a comparable level to absorb the power of a guardian.
Hyun felt uneasy with the word guardian. However, the system said he was lucky to meet a guardian. Doesn't that mean nothing bad will happen between him and Oliver?
The system also explained that to absorb power from another hunter, a job with the same rarity is required. This is also true for those in the UR rarity. However, in the case of 'guardians', the same level is needed to absorb them. With the information provided by the system, Hyun understood his job. Besides that, Hyun felt that Oliver's power was far above what he currently saw, especially when it came to his traits.
Still stunned by the events happening before his eyes, Hyun was jolted by a very loud scream. He felt he would go crazy just by hearing it.
"You'll be safe in there!" Oliver said while still facing the source of the groan.
Hyun thought that if it weren't for this barrier, he might have already fainted.
The sound of the scream stopped, creating a gripping silence. Even being inside the barrier did not make Hyun feel calm.
"Hey.. Oliver! What actually..."
...….!!!
Before Hyun could finish his sentence, a tremendous pressure surged towards them. This sensation was very different, a sensation of death. This feeling was unlike anything he experienced 10 years ago when the dungeon break occurred and the day Hyun lost both of his parents right before his eyes.
Sweat poured down, soaking his clothes. His heart raced uncontrollably, as if ready to explode at any moment.
Hyun looked at Oliver, who stood firm under this deathly pressure, making it even harder for him to gauge just how strong Oliver really was.
Seeing Hyun struggling to withstand the pressure from the monster, Oliver doubled his protection around him, calming Hyun down a bit.
"Look over there!" Oliver gestured to look ahead.
Thanks to what Oliver did, Hyun felt a bit more at ease. Then, he looked in the direction Oliver pointed.
Thud!
Just moments ago, Hyun's heart was racing wildly. After seeing what was in front of him, his heartbeat seemed to stop.
The sight ahead was something Hyun could hardly imagine. Something he could only see in a rank 6 dungeon, making him think that humanity would be in danger if something like that emerged from here.
There, a dragon as large as Hallasan mountain was visible. Even though it was still far from Hyun, the dragon was enormous, with the ground trembling every time it took a step.
No! Wait!! One... two... three... four... seven?! There are seven of them?! And all of them are as big as the previous dragon. How is this only counted as a dungeon rank 6? With all seven of them present, it wouldn't even be surprising to call it a world disaster.
"Oliver…"
Oliver, who had been standing silently before, did not even budge in front of the seven giants. "The seven dragons are the implementation of each element, with one having the power of mind and soul. It is the dragon that has the elixir needed to heal your sister."
Hearing Oliver's words, Hyun realizes why he is here. The strength Oliver showed and the horrors of the rank 6 dungeon, made him forget what he was for coming here.
"Oliver... Can humans beat the disaster in front of you?"
Of course Hyun believed in Oliver, having seen him defeat a bunch of wyverns so easily and also as the no 1 hunter in the world. But still, the monster ahead of there was something very different.
"It won't be more than 10 minutes!"
What!!
Oliver, as one of the UR rank hunters in Korea with the current level estimated at 490. Wait! 490?
True master! After defeating several wyverns before, hunter Oliver had now reached level 500. The level at which humanity has been passed.
"What rank after... UR?"
Legendary, master.
…
This was the first time Hyun had heard of rank after UR. Something that even makes humans move closer to the gods.
"Oliver... have you passed the rank of UR?" Hyun thoughtlessly asked Oliver.
Hearing that, Oliver turned his head and looked at the two swords he was holding. Then, Oliver walked casually towards the approaching dragons.
"If you feel uncomfortable, look up"
Seeing Oliver walking away, Hyun raised his head, just like what Oliver had said.
"Very bright! Wasn't it not as bright as it is now?"
Master is wrong, it's not because of the sun, still...
Hyun tried to focus his eyes.
"What is that? It looks like a figure in white"
That's right, master, it was one of Oliver's skill hunters, those called, 'The Angels of Death'. An army of hundreds of white-robed angels led by the angel Gabriel and a pair of death angels.
"Angel of death? But up there there is no pair that looks like the angels of death"
Look ahead, master!
Hyun followed the system's words and looked towards hunter Oliver.
