#1
After successful visits from world rankings rank #2,3,4, Jaehwang finally started preparing for his entry for the 9-tier monster raid. Many people were added to the martial arts team. If the previous team were around 70 in number, this time, they had already around 100 for the site personnel and the communication team. Then, 80 were added to the monster volunteer team which was tasked to analyze all the monsters that he would fight during his raid while also handling the sales.
Jaehwang was alone, but there were around 250 people working with him and they’re still thinking that their numbers were too small.
In addition, 100 secret agents from the Invincible have moved to the Martial Arts House. They were there to protect not only Jaehwang but the entire team.
The media somehow got a hold of this information and kept close in terms of updates on the movements of the Invincible Palace and the Martial Arts House, and after about a month, the National Hunters’ Bureau of Korea hosted a conference to determine the sequence on how they would do their raids.
It was obvious that the entire world’s attention was on this issue.
9-tier monsters were a terror to every nation in the world and their territories were only part of the problem. In the past, every country’s influence was evaluated through the size of their economy or their army, but now, the level of danger given by those monsters became their main and biggest criteria. 9-tier monsters, like the ‘Big Mac Index’ of the past, became the sole criteria for determining the threat of a country.
Hence, everyone hurried to attend this conference. The numbers reached hundreds and if the small countries participated, it would have reached thousands in attendance.
The sequence assignment followed a strict criterion, with the exception of one annoying country stuck to Korea’s behind. The sequence was divided into order of most urgent regions selected by a random lottery to which a raid would be prepared accordingly.
But not everyone was excited about the Invincible Raid.
It was not a matter of the sequence. They seemed to favour the method of ordering on the humanitarian level, and although they internally wanted their country to gain a sense of priority a little faster, they did not express it outwardly.
What they were concerned about was the Imperial Emperor’s methods in a raid.
[The Imperial Emperor refers to natural cooperation with raids from other countries, but in fact, the 9-tier monster has announced that it has not changed its policy of sticking to the form of solo raids.]
The so-called raid experts had all gathered to send warnings against the Invincible’s method. A raid was done against the Black Cyclops, the Behemoth, and Oogamushi, but Invincible’s plan against the 9-tier monster was criticized to be too hasty and risky.
[The Master Archer, drunk with the title of the 10-star Hunter, is too early for a solo raid.]
[More research on 9-tier monster needed, followed by cooperated raid…]
[9-tier monster raid, overconfidence caused by a monopoly.]
These levels of headings were rather gentle ones considering Jaehwang’s position.
[10-star Hunters need to be managed differently from the cultural assets and existing Hunters. Attention World Hunter Secretariat!]
[Reviewing Amendments to the Hunter Act on the World Hunter Secretariat… Does it include mandatory legal provisions for 10-star Hunters?]
They even said that the Jaehwang’s solo raid should be managed by the World Hunter Office.
Of course, the Invincible did not have a press conference on those words. They said it was not worth listening to.
Then, these experts who loves to be controversial started gossiping, they created a rumor made from their delusions as if it was real.
They were anticipating on the way how the Invincible would react.
But through all these storms, the first official 9-tier monster raid began and all the experts who were criticizing Jaehwang soon shut themselves up.
In the first raid, Jaehwang showed all the worried experts that they’re concerns were nothing but that.
[The Master Archer… Three 9-tier monsters that plagued the southern states of South America were defeated in just one week.]
[Revolution in the history of Raids, the Master Archer is sweeping 9-tier monsters!]
[Who called him hasty?]
The experts who were so quick to spread rumours and criticize Jaehwang soon turned to his side and raved his performance. Of course, Jaehwang was unmoved by this crowd’s movement, he didn’t care about it at all.
What Jaehwang learned from Emperor was that the media was like reeds in the wind.
“Do not mind these worthless things. That the job of your lawyers.”
Jaehwang followed these instructions wholeheartedly.
The lawyers from Invincible carefully gathered all the rumors and criticisms from these experts and held it against them to shut them up.
[A New Era of Raids Began!]
Emperor raided 9-tier monsters on an assortment of ultra-quad quadcopters, known as the Atlas, with four rotors that were more than twice as large as the previous copter Titania.
The Emperor, who had raided three of the eleven 9-tier monsters in southern parts of South America in a week, took some rest and continued to fight eight of them just as they planned. The last 9-tier monsters were dark monsters with a lot of additional monsters around them which took a lot of time to deal with, but it was also neat for them to finish them off with a long-range weapon.
There were other monsters there as well, especially with the gates of the second world still open, but the changes brought by these raids had given a lot of land to the hand of the humans once again.
After dealing with all 9- tier monsters in South America and by the request of the Invincible, Jaehwang raided some 9-tier monsters on the borders between Korea and China.
Some experts have raised concerns that flying 9-tier monsters and short-range monsters can be dangerous, but Jaehwang defeated them rather easily. Those flying monsters dropped down even before they could approach Jaehwang and those short-ranged monsters were shot 5km away from their maximum range.
They were shot down from 15km away and it’s not simply just far. In fact, an average person’s eyes can hardly discern the shape of something beyond 6 km, but for Jaehwang, such distance was meaningless. Even for those monsters that seemed to be too far away for others, he attacked them as if they were right in front of him.
People wondered and wanted to know about the skills of Jaehwang, but there was no reason for him to reveal them. Although some hunters mimicked Jaehwang, the conclusion was that no one was able to shoot at the same range as him.
[It is not a matter of distance since its extent can be fully reproduced through modern military technology. What matters is his attack power. His arrow is very deadly to monsters. Rather than simply damaging the monster with force, his special mana affects the overall to a monster’s life.]
A reputable laboratory began to study Jaehwang and noticed the unusual light that he uses only when hunting for 9 tier monsters. They also asked Jaehwang to help them analyze his power and the request was, of course, ignored.
When Jaehwang was raiding the 9-tier monsters restlessly and had defeated about five of them inhabiting the western US, one urgent raid request was received.

Irumi opened her mouth with her arms crossed. “Please explain it in detail, Mister World Hunter Office Representative”
At her cold question, a middle-aged black man opened his mouth.
“It was Muhammad Paraid, President of Somalia’s interim federal government, who sent an urgent raid request. Raid Request Monsters are called Relief over there but they are just basically Adult Giant Spiders. The battlefield is 100 meters in length and all of its spheres are made of spider webs and have thousands of spider monsters crawling through the fields.”
“That, I am aware. I’ve been curious about the urgent raid request for a tier 9 monster that’s been completely settled down for over a decade.”
The Representative was perplexed at Irumi’s stern question.
No matter how much the World Hunter Secretariat and Jaehwang try to reconcile them with each other, Invincible and the World Hunter Secretariat was not in good terms. This whole situation was uncomfortable to the Representative.
“The Giant Spiders were occupying the region of Pantland, a puppet nation founded by Abdul Hussein, a warlord of warlords, who had Islamism-based war terrorist groups al-Shabab which had been in central and southern Somalia. They started developing gold mines for the West, and the problem is that it provoked the monsters dwelling around it and everything ended up with them attacking the nearby villages.”
The Representative started sweating as he explained because Irumi’s piercing energy was pressing him.
“Can they not just give up on the gold mines? Does the World Hunter Secretariat really not have that much power?”
“While World Hunter Secretariat and the United Nations are continuously pressuring them, they are quite an extremist group, they were warlord-centered and built by force after all. If it goes like this, it is expected that an S-class monster wave will occur within a month at the latest.”
“Is Abdul Hussein the main problem?”
“Yes. He is a dictator who doesn’t care about the deaths of civilians. The Black Skeleton, his villains composed of an armed force of 10,000, is notorious for being brutal, but the pain directed to the civilians is overwhelming as he rules the people with extreme Islamic principles.”
“What about the estimated casualties?”
“About a hundred and ten thousand, just for the first wave.”
“What about evacuation?”
“They won’t let them go.”
Irumi’s eyes glared in rage at the response of the Representative.
“So the 110,000 lives are not even considered. You are asking us to raid the monsters and risk their lives while we’re at it?”
“Yeah. That’s why we are forced to ask for an urgent raid. Abdul Hussein won’t do anything if Monster Wave is going on. Also, if the wave stimulates the surrounding monster habitat, the entirety of Somalia is at risk. ”
“Wouldn’t we be able to disintegrate that puppet nation by force if we were to remove Abdul Hussein from the equation?”
“He is famous for never coming out of his palace and being guarded by the Black Skull as well as his army while never revealing his work. In addition, his people, who were controlled by Islamic principles, were also enslaved to his armed forces and lost their willingness to resist. “
