The Wise Cleaning Life Of A Returning Genius Hunter [EN]: Chapter 316

315

‘Right front, Chief Han Yu-bin, if you charge, I’ll assist immediately to prevent being surrounded.’

‘Use attacks that can deliver a blow with minimal movement.’

In the middle of the battlefield.

A faint voice echoed in Chief Kim Min-ju’s head, who was assisting Han Yu-bin, who had taken the lead.

The moment she heard it.

[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Guanyin – Awakening]

[One of the Six Guanyin]

[First Strike – Holy Guanyin]

Swish—!

“Kkeuaaaack!”

“Euaack!!”

Kim Min-ju’s body moved automatically before she could even think.

Kim Jun-woo’s voice went beyond simply giving instructions; it painted the strategy he envisioned and the entire battlefield situation in her mind.

‘Amazing…….’

Sharing Kim Jun-woo’s senses and experience.

A macroscopic view that allowed her to simultaneously check the roles and positions of all one million troops.

She had never felt anything like it before; it felt as if she had clairvoyance.

‘Stick close behind Han Yu-bin and charge together.’

At that moment, the voice echoed again.

This was the very center of the enemy lines, the front line.

If she charged with Han Yu-bin in this situation, her rear would be completely exposed to the enemy.

Kim Min-ju was aware of this fact, but nevertheless, she immediately followed Han Yu-bin without another thought.

[Unique Skill: Steampunk – Awakening]

[Revolutionary Army Corps]

[Unique Skill: Artemis]

[Bullet – Crescent Moon]

Bang—!!

Kwaaaang—!!

Cha Seok-hyun and Guild Leader Yoo Ji-woo, who were behind her, immediately assisted Kim Min-ju.

Just as she had done for Han Yu-bin a moment ago.

They, too, were sharing Kim Jun-woo’s judgment and senses, just like Kim Min-ju.

‘He really is commanding all the troops…….’

Thanks to this, each and every one of the million-plus troops was moving like a single organism.

Moreover, their roles were changing dynamically according to their individual characteristics and combat power.

Han Yu-bin, who was specialized in extreme offensive charges, was at the very front, clearing the path.

The headquarters operations team was assisting her and Han Yu-bin, while the Japanese branch was pushing the enemies from the right flank, and the Vietnamese branch from the left.

In addition, they were maintaining an impenetrable formation by adjusting the attack and defense on a per-person basis.

Individual command of all personnel.

This being possible meant…….

That Kim Jun-woo had a complete grasp of each and every soldier.

‘It’s unbelievable…….’

Kim Min-ju couldn’t shake the thought from her mind even as she advanced.

Who could possibly command all the troops on the battlefield on a per-person basis?

Especially while fighting at the same time.

It was probably impossible for anyone else in the world.

Except for Kim Jun-woo, that astonishing existence beyond common sense.

And everyone was sharing the command and judgment of such a person…….

‘I don’t think we can lose anymore.’

A smile crept onto Kim Min-ju’s face.

And at that moment.

‘In 5 seconds, attacks will be concentrated on Chief Han Yu-bin.’

‘The moment Chief Han Yu-bin is attacked, charge forward and use the smoke skill.’

“……!”

The voice that echoed again suddenly predicted an attack.

And exactly 5 seconds later.

Bang—!

Thump, thump—!!

“Keuek…!!”

All the surrounding attacks flew towards Chief Han Yu-bin, who was advancing at the front.

At the same time, he crashed straight into the asphalt floor and tumbled several times before Kim Min-ju’s eyes.

If it had been before, she would have immediately run to check on Han Yu-bin’s condition, but…….

Tadat—!

Kim Min-ju didn’t even glance at Han Yu-bin and immediately moved as instructed.

Han Yu-bin was also receiving Kim Jun-woo’s command, wasn’t he?

If so, he would have definitely issued instructions for Han Yu-bin to prepare for the attack, and if he followed those instructions, he would surely be safe.

Complete trust in each other.

If they couldn’t capitalize on this, all their forces would collapse, and they would miss a good opportunity.

So… they had to believe unconditionally.

Believe in Kim Jun-woo and focus solely on their own roles.

[Acquired Skill: Landscape Painting]

Swish, swish—.

Soon, a mist spread out in front.

At the same time, the vision of the enemies who had attacked Han Yu-bin began to be obscured.

If they attacked now, they could penetrate even deeper.

Kim Min-ju gripped her sword tightly with that thought in mind, but.

‘Attack rotation. Fall back and wait.’

An unexpected order to wait echoed.

Attack rotation?

Were there others besides them who could penetrate this far?

That thought flashed through her mind when.

Swoosh—.

Before long, the mist cleared, and the enemies’ vision returned.

“W-What is it?!”

“It’s right in front of us!!”

“A-Attack!!”

The enemies who discovered Kim Min-ju issued attack orders first.

Exposed to the enemy alone in the middle of the battlefield without any support.

Logically, she should either counterattack or evade.

But Kim Min-ju didn’t move.

She simply put away her sword and glared at the enemies.

[Unique Skill: Rainbow Effect]

[Unique Skill: Contract of Fairy]

Bang!!

Kugugugu—!!

Attacks immediately began to fly towards her, and Kim Min-ju swallowed hard while still holding her ground.

‘…….’

Looking at the attacks flying straight at her with her own eyes, she tightly closed her eyes, fearing that she might move.

The moment their attacks fell right in front of Kim Min-ju.

[Unique Skill: All Alone]

Someone who jumped out from behind.

Kwaaaang—!!

Blocked all the skills that flew across in front of Kim Min-ju at once.

After hearing the explosion, Kim Min-ju slightly opened her closed eyes and checked the identity of the person who had exchanged attacks with her.

And her eyes widened.

As a matter of fact, it was none other than.

“S-Secretary-General…?”

“That stings.”

Park In-beom, the Secretary-General of WDSO.

“Why is the Secretary-General…?”

“Why else? Kim Jun-woo, that guy told me to come.”

Secretary-General Park In-beom continued, with his back to Kim Min-ju.

“Sense sharing…… What a bizarre ability he has.”

“…You can say that again.”

“Fighting under someone else’s orders isn’t really my thing. But, what can I do? I have to follow the leader’s orders.”

Secretary-General Park In-beom grinned.

And soon.

‘Leave the forward charge to Secretary-General Park In-beom and support the flank formation.’

The voice echoed again.

Kim Min-ju looked at Secretary-General Park In-beom as soon as she heard the instruction.

It seemed that he had received the same instruction.

“Are you going to be okay?”

“Why? Are you worried about leaving it to an old man?”

“N-No. It’s not that, but…….”

As Kim Min-ju trailed off, Secretary-General Park In-beom looked forward again and said.

“Don’t worry. I may be old, but I’m not so washed up that you guys can treat me like a has-been.”

Kim Min-ju examined Secretary-General Park In-beom.

No weapons, no equipment, just his bare body.

He had dropped the cane he always carried on the spot.

No matter how she looked at it, he didn’t look like he was ready to fight.

And then.

“W-What are you doing!”

“He’s just an old man!! Keep pouring skills on him!!”

The all-out attack started again.

The moment the attacks flew towards Secretary-General Park In-beom.

[Unique Skill: All Alone]

“Where are you, you little punks? Let’s see what you’ve got.”

He cracked his knuckles once.

Soon, he threw a punch at the pouring attacks.

[Unique Class: Wild Man]

Bang—!!!

With a powerful shockwave, all the skills exploded on the spot.

“…….”

Kim Min-ju shut her mouth tightly as she watched the scene.

Young and strong ability users armed with all sorts of weapons.

The man standing in front of them was just an old man with only his bare body and fists.

But the aura he exuded made it impossible to even think that.

Legend.

As was always the case with those who witnessed it, they felt both fear and awe at the same time.

“What are you doing? Go quickly. You have to move as instructed.”

“……Ah, I understand.”

Kim Min-ju finally came to her senses and moved her body when Secretary-General Park In-beom urged her.

Thus, Park In-beom was left alone on the battlefield.

Surrounded by hundreds of enemies in the middle of the enemy lines, left all alone, he…….

“It’s been a while.”

He smiled as if he had missed this sight.

***

“Damn it…….”

As the battle slowly entered its final stages, Secretary-General Wesley gritted his teeth.

The tide of the battle was already heavily leaning against them.

It couldn’t be.

They couldn’t possibly win in an all-out war.

The sudden influx of support troops had already widened the gap in power.

Moreover, they were using processed Bank Item products.

Ability Stones, Anti-Ability Stones, and even gates through Dimensional Stones.

Above all, each and every soldier was moving with Kim Jun-woo-level senses and judgment.

‘Is this even possible…?’

What kind of change had happened to him in that short amount of time that he had gained such abilities?

No, putting all that aside…….

Could they even win this war?

‘Ha, haha…….’

As that thought finally crossed his mind, Secretary-General Wesley let out a burst of laughter as if he was in shock.

But that was only for a moment.

Boo-ooooo—!

Suddenly, the sound of a ship’s horn echoed across the battlefield.

At the same time, Secretary-General Wesley’s eyes widened.

He immediately raised his head and looked at the harbor.

And there.

‘……They’re finally here.’

The ships of each association, filling the harbor and the New York territorial waters, had appeared.

Secretary-General Wesley forced a smile.

It had already been a long time since he had requested support from each association.

They hadn’t shown up even though it was time, and he wondered if they had turned their backs on him again, but…….

Thump—.

Thump, thump, thump—!

Soon, troops set foot on land.

The ground shook with every step they took, such was their enormous number.

Seeing that sight, he finally felt relieved.

Right.

No matter how strong WDSO was, it wouldn’t be easy for them to turn their backs.

From the start, WDSO was fighting a battle in which they couldn’t gain anything.

Even if the International Association was being pushed back right now, they could turn the situation around as much as they wanted if each association provided support.

Even if there were associations that had changed their minds, they wouldn’t be able to easily side with WDSO.

If they changed direction carelessly, they could become the target of the entire world.

There was no reason for them to risk their lives and gamble when they didn’t know what choice other associations would make.

From the beginning, it was human nature to side with the winning side.

“W-What is it…….”

“Isn’t that the Chinese Association…?”

“It looks like the Thai Association and the European branch alliance are also there…….”

As expected, the WDSO camp began to stir at the appearance of the large-scale troops.

However, all the troops crossed WDSO as it was and entered the International Association camp without a word.

Soon, the heads of each country’s association stepped forward, leaving the troops behind.

They soon stood in front of Secretary-General Wesley.

America, New York.

Finally, almost all the hunters in the world had gathered here.

“I’ve been waiting. You’re all a bit late.”

Secretary-General Wesley opened his mouth first, looking at the heads of each country’s association.

“We apologize.”

The association heads all bowed their heads.

However, Secretary-General Wesley responded with a smile.

“It’s alright. As you can see, the power gap has widened a lot. But I’m relieved that you’ve all come. Then, let’s immediately form a formation…….”

And at that moment.

[Unique Skill: Beast – Baku]

Kwaaaang—!!

Someone’s attack flew towards Secretary-General Wesley’s face.

A sudden surprise attack.

The one who took on the appearance of a monster from Eastern legends was none other than…….

“I can’t take this anymore.”

Wang, the head of the Chinese Association.

It wasn’t just him.

[Unique Skill: Saba]

[Unique Skill: Master of Mana]

[Unique Skill: Thunder Boost]

Kuoong—!

Kwaaa kwa kwa kwang—!!

Thump, thump—!!

The association heads gathered in the area followed Wang’s lead and began to unleash attacks on Secretary-General Wesley.

Secretary-General Wesley was already lying on the floor, but the attacks didn’t stop.

They poured skills into him for several minutes.

When the attacks finally stopped.

“…….”

“…….”

A cold silence fell on the battlefield, regardless of WDSO or the International Association.

The association heads’ rough breathing.

They spat on the floor, looking at the deeply drilled hole.

Wang turned his back and looked at Kim Jun-woo.

“We’re a bit late.”

“…….”

Kim Jun-woo hesitated to answer with a slightly embarrassed expression.

It was as if he didn’t understand how to accept this situation, why they had made this choice.

Then Wang continued.

“Don’t be too wary. We made this decision with a lot of determination. So, let’s lend a hand now…….”

[Unique Skill: Genesis]

Swish—.

Before Wang could even finish his sentence.

His head fell off.

At the same time, everyone’s gaze turned to the pit.

Inside it…….

“W-What…….”

“How on earth…….”

Secretary-General Wesley was slowly crawling out in a battered state.

Standing on his own two feet again, he struggled to catch his breath, with blood dripping from his entire body.

The association heads froze as if they had seen a ghost.

“You’re… really getting on my nerves until the end.”

[Unique Skill: Genesis – Awakening]

[Space Domination]

“…It’s done.”

Secretary-General Wesley stared at the empty air with a look of finality on his face.

[The designated space-time will be annihilated.]

[Range Adjustment]

[Range Adjustment Complete]

“Just die, all of you.”

[Execution – Apocalypse]

[Unique Class: Trinity]

Kugugugugu—!!

A huge cavity appeared in the sky.
