Chapter 176
Seoul saw an average of six new Fissures cropping up each month.
The Fissure Exploration Unit in the Fissure Management Division was tasked with investigating new Fissures, while the managing civil servant evaluated and ranked each one.
[Welcome to the Fissure Management System.]
[Fissure in Yongsan-dong 6-ga-003 in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, has been registered.]
[Please select the rank of the Fissure. If you enter the rank of the appearing monster, the Fissure rank will be automatically assigned. If the Fissure is deemed to be ranked higher than what is assessed by the system, please select the Exception option.]
The Fissure that appeared in Yongsan-dong 6-ga was a forest-type. An Orc Warlord, clad in plate armor and wielding a double-edged axe as large as its own body, had emerged. Without hesitation, Do-Jun set the Fissure’s rank to B.
He recalled the agreement with the Hunter’s Bureau that allowed Seoul City Hall to manage Great Fissures of up to B-rank, thanks to the high caliber of available Hunters.
Ye-Ji leaped into action, slicing through the armored Orc Warlord with a single stroke. Do-Jun was about twenty meters behind her, taking pictures of the surroundings for mapping, when his gaze landed on Ye-Ji’s sword, a B-rank artifact she had obtained during a Fissure Break.
“Hunter Ye-Ji.”
“Yes?” Ye-Ji turned at Do-Jun’s call, blood dripping from her sword onto the ground. The blade, compared to when it was first acquired, now bore numerous nicks, showing the marks of time and wear.
“Never mind.” Do-Jun pressed the power button on his SpacePad, turning off the screen. “Shall we call it a day?”
Ye-Ji smiled and nodded. “Yes!”
