51 S-Ranks

His eyes shone bright with no pupils at all. Dressed in a suit, it was easy to tell the man wasn't normal. 

"Mr Beak Yoonho, thank you for coming" Jin Chul said in a serious manner as he stretched out his arm for a handshake

"As serious as always, it is an S-rank gate after all, my presence is needed whether I like it or not"

"Still thank you for coming, the Chairman is on his way here so please bear with us for now"

"The Chairman?.... Oh now this is interesting, who is inside there?" Baek Yoonho asked 

"That information cannot be relayed to you at the moment" Jin Chul replied before bowing and leaving 

He had other matters to attend to. Baek Yoonho stood and watched as he left, seeing the hunter's attitude, a smile began to form on his face. 

The Association never classifies information unless it was incredibly important which meant that whatever team was within the gate was very important to them. 

"Of course the beast would get here first" A new voice was heard as more camera flashes were seen 

It was a lanky young man with actual red hair with half the muscles of the first man. However his aura and presence was just as strong. 

"Choi Jong-in" Baek Yoonho said as he rolled his eyes. 

The two men stared at each other for a while before turning to the massive red gate that was before them. 

Unlike when it was un-entered, it stood at a height of more than 10 feet tall and was about 3 metres wide. The gate was intimidating but the mana they felt from it was way more so than normal. 

"The Association is really taking this one seriously, aren't they?" Choi Jong-in asked 

However all he got in reply was silence as none paid attention to him anymore. 

Following them were a few more other people, all with  impressive auras surrounding them. 

"This is turning out to be a spectacle" Jin Chul thought as he tapped on the ear piece hoping that Steve would answer. 

However nothing came through, the line was dull. He didn't know how this thing worked because he had only gotten across to the other side once. 

Communication was usually initiated by Steve not him. So hearing nothing from the other side, he decided to be patient and hope for the best 

Meanwhile inside the gate, the man in question could be seen rolling around his bed. His bones shifted even within his body. 

The pain assaulted his mind that even in an unconscious state, he quickly removed his suit. His flesh tore off with his suit. 

His bones moved around within his body, flesh fell off as his muscles failed and ssagged. It was a horrifying sight to look at. 

However, the man going through it somehow remained unconscious. Blood filled the truck but somehow he wasn't dead yet. It was bizarre to look at or even know of. 

No Automaton entered the truck so none of them could help him out of his current situation. Soon he was named with his flesh melting off his bones and blood laying down in his pool of blood.
