19 Chapter 19 WTH is happening(2)

Bonus Chapter

Outside the Gate...

Within 5 minutes, reinforcement hunters started arriving at the mall entrance. Dozens of D and C-rank Hunters of the White Tiger Guild filled the Mall.

"We were dispatched because reports said this was a D-rank invasion," one said to the gathered crowds. "What happened here?"

The battered hunters recounted all that transpired - the original spider assault, their struggles, and then Azaroth's dramatic arrival saving them.

"It was a high-ranking hunter!" An injured E-ranker said.

"Y-yes! he was wearing a school uniform!" Another shouted.

"No! he is our classmate!" One of the school girls shouted.

The new arrivals exchanged shocked looks. "A school student defeated the horde alone? Impossible!"

 "We all saw it with our own eyes. He's stronger than any hunter I've known!" Many injured D-ranks who wanted to go with Azaroth but were excluded tried to convince them.

"Yes! A very powerful Oppa saved us all!" the previous little girl exclaimed with a huge smile.

"Ok, ok, Jung Buk, first try to identify the deceased bodies and the healers give medical care to the dying ones, Medical team, treat the injured ones, and Kiyong, try to gather as much information of what transpired here! Is that clear!" The seeming captain of the team barked orders to his hunters.

"Yes, Junghook-Si!" They all said and scattered to do their jobs.

"Mister, are you the leader of this team?" Asked Azaroth's classmates in a hurry.

"Yes, I'm Lee Junghook, White Tiger's 3rd team's leader." He replied with a smile.

"Our Friend! is inside that gate!" Chaewon frantically said making the leader panic a little.

"A student is inside!" He remembered the previous shouts of the hunters and remembered that they had mentioned a high-rank hunter in school uniform.

But just to be sure, he asked again, "Your friend, is that the hunter they all were talking about?"

"Yes, he is indeed the one they are shouting about, but.. but.." Chaewon didn't know what to say.

"But, he isn't a hunter!" Song Yi said with a doubtful expression.

It seemed she didn't know what she was saying, Wasn't he a normal person? But then, how was he so powerful just now? Her consciousness was filled with these kinds of thoughts.

"What did you say!? Then how did he manage to save you all?" The leader was baffled hearing Song Yi's words.

"He indeed saved us but he wasn't a registered hunter!" This time Sung Jin-ah spoke, "He is Azaroth Morningstar, I-I'm sure you guys know the infamous nephew of Choi Jong-in right!?"

The leader was taken aback.

"Yes! If you don't know, just Google his name damn it." One of the girls shouted.

"Easy-easy, first tell me what exactly happened here," He said with a heavy sigh. 

"He took down the spiders with unbelievable power... but—"

"But then the gate transformed after he went inside. It's now rated B-rank," Jin Ah added, worry evident.

"Yes, it's a B-rank gate from its shape, the Association informed the Guild that it was a D-rank.... this whole situation doesn't make sense." He muttered while massaging his nose bridge.

He knows what the name Morningstar implies, If what they were saying was indeed the truth, he may also lose his job.

Even if The Hunters Guild somehow didn't blame the White Tiger Guild for Azaroth's death....

He doesn't know if the USA's Berserkers Guild will do so...

Lucas Morningstar, the Vice Guild Master of Berserkers— The worldwide 5th ranking Guild.

If they compare the Korean Guild rankings to the world rankings, the White Tigers or the Hunters Guild were insignificant.

He knows from the news about the disputes between Father and Son... But, will a father really be indifferent to his Son's death?

This could become an international issue...

*sigh* 'First, I should contact Master Baek and tell him about the situation.'

If it was not a B-rank gate, he would have jumped inside.... But the fact that it was one made it hard for him to think.

"Hey! Jung Buk, there are a lot of deceased, tell the soldiers outside to call for backup!"

(A/N: Jin Woo heard this call in the previous chapters.)

First, he needs to do what he can, he sighed and excused himself from the crowd of students.

He needs to tell Baek Yoonho about it, Whether Master Baek informs Choe Jong or not, it's his Guild Master's problem.

Inside The Gate... Azaroth's POV

All was going according to plan. The spider horde posed no challenge for my alchemy and strong Physique.

While those ingrates scoffed, the crowd saw me as their hero as was right.

Leading the MOBs Kim and Yin into the gate, I knew victory was assured.

We'd see the boss, I'd obliterate it, the mission succeeds.

My renown grows, and the Association comes begging for my strength while the bottom fodders would make Fan pages on Instagram.

But what's this now? Some strange rip in the fabric of space opens unbidden from behind.

And from it, a female hand with black fog poring out of it seizes me in an impossibly strong grip.

In the blink of an eye, I'm wrenched through this new portal against my will.

Calm yourself, Azaroth. Panic wins no battles. Take stock of your situation, as any tactician would.

As my vision clears, I find myself surrounded not by rock but lush greenery - trees of immense size stretching as far as I can see. An eerie glow filters down through the boughs...from not one but three ghostly moons high above.

What new realm have I been transported to? None from the Memories and Solo Leveling Manhwa chapters I've read match this place.

Then I notice I'm not alone. A tall, ethereal beauty regards me with crimson eyes aglow with an emotion I can't decipher.

Pale skin like ivory, flowing tresses as black as the night sky's depths, lips dark as ripe plums, Very MASSIVE breasts.

She appears neither a woman nor an angel yet possesses enticing aspects of both. Power resonates from her very being, ancient and wild.

Certainly not human, angel nor demon. Yet she radiates a primal sensuality that stirs normally dormant instincts within me.

What the Fuck was happening!? And why the fuck am I being intently gazed at by The Monarch of Plagues...!?

Her rich melodic voice penetrates the silent grove at last. "You...why do you smell like him?"

Like'Him' more like-Like who? I know not this enigmatic "him" she speaks of.

Her words raise more questions than answers. I wasn't ready to meet one of the Monarchs yet, First I thought they had seen me as an anomaly and wanted to kill me.

But what was she saying? I remain outwardly composed yet her strange claims pique my curiosity.

Before I can inquire further, she leans closer and inhales my scent once more. "Although it's faint, you really do smell like him."

I resist the urge to back away, keeping my eyes locked on her Otherworldly features. What game is this supposed to be?

 I've never set foot in this realm before today, nor anyone who could "smell" like another to her.

Unless...could she detect some essence in my soul..... SYSTEM!!

"No, you are just a human!" She said as her aura started leaking out from her body.

A chill runs through me as her strange words echo in my mind. For the first time since awakening in this world, I'm seeing a voluptuous woman with eyes not filled with lust.... but fear!

I feel the clawing tendrils of fear take hold of my consciousness.

Her very presence exudes a pressure meant to overwhelm mere mortals.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I haven't even started yet!

Am I going to Die!?

Pfft... like hell I would.

I decided not to show fear and released the aura of Garuo's physique, trying to counter her terrifying pressure.

As Garuo's might floods my being, I sense her oppressive aura lighten, if only for a moment. My will meets hers and does not break.

 I match her steady crimson stare and ask calmly, "Might I ask... Who is this 'him' you speak of?" with a light smile on my face.

But she just raised a brow seeing my Garuo's Aura, 

*Crack-boom*

'Ugh! What th—' The pressure around me suddenly increased, crushing down on me like a physical weight.

"Haa..Ack.." I struggle to draw breath under the mounting pressure.

Through it, her rich melodic voice reaches me once more. "Ahh~ It seems you are no ordinary man."

Her lips curve into a smile as her aura intensifies, licking them suggestively.

"This will be fun."
