The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All

The road leading to Yeouido looked no different from anywhere else, but every route into one particular district was completely blocked off.

A massive barrier wall had been erected, and beyond the soldiers standing guard with rifles, I could see hunters and heroes with swords at their hips or spears in hand.

Government-affiliated hunters.

While we drove along the barrier toward the spot Lee Myung-jun had told us about, Choi Hyun-woo fiddled with his sword's scabbard and spoke up.

"Pretty grim atmosphere."

"This is one of the few places where an erosion-type dungeon and gate appeared. There's no telling when it might happen again, so the standard approach is to wrap the eroded zone in a barrier and keep watch over it. It'll probably stay like this for several years. The only people I feel sorry for are the ones who worked inside or owned buildings in there."

Lee Ye-eun, sitting in the passenger seat, answered as she pulled out a hunter's mask and cap from somewhere and tugged them on.

"Pardon me."

"Go ahead."
