The Goddess Of War

Chapter 146 - After the Dungeon Break

Anna returns to Earth by choosing to open the gate to Gina's apartment instead of going to the lab as she has done so often.

Just for a stopover, Anna teleported again to the area where the Dungeon gate was previously located.

In that place, the black snakes that he thought were still there, were in fact no longer in that place.

"Anna!"

Gina immediately ran over to Anna when Anna suddenly appeared at the same place of appearance when she first came to this place with Bimo.

Anna smiled and looked at Gina for a while and then she looked at the faces of the people who were still there who all seemed to show their dazed faces.

"Where did the snakes go?" anna asked directly, after Gina arrived nearby.

"I-it's... There was someone who suddenly came and killed all the monsters." Gina Sahut.

"Who?"

Gina shook her head, "None of us recognized her. He wears a mask and a long robe. And. he's very strong. He seemed to want to go inside the gate. But the gate suddenly disappeared. Did you close it?"

"Yes. Sorry if I'm late."

"Are you okay? I was so worried about you after the snakes came out of the gate. I think there's another monster that's reappearing in the Dungeon."

Anna looked at Gina while smiling gently at her. She was sure, maybe Gina was the only person who was still worried about her even though Gina knew how strong she was.

"certain. I'm doing fine. Thank you for worrying about me."

While talking a few more things with Gina, Anna recalled the information regarding the stranger who had helped 'clean' the monsters in front of the gate. No matter who that person was, as long as he was helping mankind, Anna thought she did not need to feel further curious about the identity of an unknown person.

'Perhaps because of that person's strength they all express themselves like this.'

Anna then turned to Kevin Jung who also had the same facial expression as the other Hunters.

"It seems like it's because of that." Think Anna.

"There's more news that my father got from the gate guard officer where the third team did the raid." Gina continued.

"Third team?"

"Yes. There also appeared a blonde-haired creature whose characteristics were also the same as those that appeared in our Dungeon."

"What?! What about the third team?"

"They're fine. There was an unknown person who helped them defeat the creature and kill it. That person has also helped close the gate."

This time, Anna was completely shocked.

If the meaning is a human creature that has driven him from the cave, it means he is a creature from the same nation as Damballa. Anna knew the creature was really very powerful.

The second information he had just received from Gina, made him very curious. If that person is able to kill an opponent as strong as Damballa, it means that he has a power that might be on par with him.

If there was such a person besides her, Anna thought, it might be best if she could meet that person and invite him to cooperate.

'There are still dozens of creatures like Damballa, right? It's better if I have very strong allies while training and strengthening my friends' Mana energy.'

Anna spoke to Gina again, "Is he the same person as the one who killed the monsters here?"

"According to the information my father received, it seems like they are different people. The person who helped the third team was a bit talkative. While that helped us kill all the snakes, didn't even speak a word."

"W-what?"

Anna then fell silent. Then there are two different strong people that he does not know who he is.

"I've been trying to prevent him from leaving, but he seems to be much stronger than me. So I couldn't even see his shadow when he suddenly disappeared." Said Kevin Jung who was standing next to Gina.

"Then I have to find them both." Think Anna.

"By the way, where are Miyu and Bimo's avatars?"

"Miyu asked Bimo to bring the avatar to the lab." said Gina.

'Ah, that's right too. I just need to ask Miyu to show her CCTV footage and find out the traces of the two men.'

"Well, I think I should go to the lab." Anna said with a less excited face. He owes Miyuki a story, which is why she is actually a bit lazy to go to the lab in the near future.

Soon enough, many Hunters began to gather near Anna, Gina and Kevin to simply express their gratitude and also to ask the information Anna knew about the Dungeon monsters.

Anna did not particularly object to the Hunter-hunter's goal of contacting him for the first reason. However, he was very lazy to discuss the second reason.

There were still many things Anna had to work on and investigate. Therefore he immediately resigned and brought Gina and Kevin disappeared with him without giving much information to the Hunters and the Association.

News of the success of City C in overcoming two dungeon breaks spread quickly and became a hot topic discussed in Southeast Asia.

Not just two. There were already three dungeon breaks that occurred within a period of under two months that City C managed to overcome on its own without any help from outside parties.

One of the things that became the subject of conversation was the Dungeon which later suddenly had additional monsters that were very strong after the initial monsters had been conquered.

Ancient monsters that had never before existed within a Dungeon were each equivalent to the level of an A and S rank Hunter, even some of them were as high as an SS rank Hunter, respectively, of course, it is the most frequently discussed topic of conversation.

With the presence of high ranking monsters, the World Association got many demands for answers regarding the follow-up that the World Association would do if a dungeon break like in City C happened in other countries.

How the World Association deals with it is questionable.

City C that suddenly just had some powerful Hunter really made many cities, even a country, become envious.

"If there were a Hunter as strong as they are in our country..."

People did not even remember Wang Zhu Ming at all. Its existence in C City was almost unneeded when the monsters from the dungeon break had abilities far above it.

However, there were some countries that saw an opportunity to have a powerful Hunter from that incident. They judged the only way to be able to have the best 'protector' for the country was to have an avatar hunter who had their own how powerful the avatar was in helping to complete the dungeon break.

They thought, even if the avatar was destroyed by a monster, it would not be too detrimental. Because at the very least, no one died. They will lose the investment, but not the life of someone very valuable.

In addition, the cost of raising the level of a hunter avatar was also much cheaper than the cost required to raise the level of a human Hunter.

The company 9 AM immediately released the details of the cost required for Miyuki's avatar to increase the experience point to SS rank which is 5 times cheaper than if it had to raise the level of a human Hunter.

Because of this in mind, many countries immediately recalculated their projects to print reliable Hunter-hunters and chose to order avatar hunters from the company 9 AM.

As a result, only 1 day after the dungeon break, 9 AM companies get many overseas calls for avatar reservations.

"They don't even take you into account" Anna told Kevin, as they watched the news after dinner together.

Kevin Jung sipped and emptied his beer can as he glanced at the television screen, in a new room in the newly created underground complex for where the fifth Hunter had gathered.

Tak...

Kevin put the empty can back on the table rather roughly.

"Humans always see things that are more profitable for them." said Kevin.

"Don't get too upset. You'll also get a lot of benefits as CEO" Miyuki said, while tucking her laptop in her lap.

"Advantage? I still have to pay a fee to the Australian Association because you forced me to join."

"Well, you can go if you mind. Bimo can replace you." Miyuki said with a flat face expression without even turning to Kevin.

"You.." Kevin pointed his index finger at Miyuki, but he also glanced at the smiling Anna, before continuing his sentence. "You two are bad girls."

At that moment, Gina, who had been in the kitchen to prepare a snack, entered the room with a large wicker basket filled with baked potatoes and sausages.

"What's wrong with your face?" gina asked as she looked at Kevin's visibly irritated face.

"Don't worry about him. Older people do have a lot of problems that they need to worry about until their faces are sometimes less pleasant to look at." Miyuki said.

Hearing that, Anna, Gina and Bimo laughed, while Kevin immediately stood up, about to leave the room.

"Oh, where are you going?" ask Anna, as Kevin walks past her.

"To the company, ok. Take care of the avatar booking contract papers to enrich both of you."

"Tsk.., that's good. You can pay off your debt faster" Miyuki commented.

Kevin turned to look at Miyuki, "Increase your avatar's abilities until it matches my rank. Let's get in a fight!"

Miyuki turned her gaze from the laptop on Kevin and looked at him with a lazy look.

"I don't need an avatar to fight with you" Miyuki said in a flat tone.

Hearing that, Kevin's face grew red. But he left without saying another word.

"You really just need your tongue to beat it" said Gina who then laughed.

°°°

"Hows it? Did you find the CCTV footage?" anna asked Miyuki who had been trying to hack the satellite to retrieve the CCTV footage in front of the gate of the first raid team and the third raid team.

"They seem to have a reliable hacker. All records have been deleted."

"What?!"

"We can't get it."

Anna remained silent.

'There are other people who also have hidden teams like us.'

"By the way, I want to go first. I'll be back tomorrow. You guys, order food for breakfast and lunch. I'll be back before dinner." Gina said, after seeing Anna and Miyuki's conversation come to a halt.

"You're going on guild business?" ask Anna.

"No. Gus will take care of our guild for the next few days. I was called by my father because of a problem, my sister."

"Ah.., yeah."

Gina sighed softly and finally stood up from her seat.

"Well then I'll go now."

"Are you going to the Association?" ask Anna again.

"Yes. Luke's in custody, association."

"I'll go with you. There's someone I want to visit."

"Your father?"

"Tsk... I no longer have any business with him. I want to visit my stepmother."

Gina was silent for a moment to think about what exactly Anna wanted to talk about with her stepmother. However, since he did not want to know too much about one's family affairs, he ended up harboring his curiosity. "All right."

"Let's go" said Anna, extending her hand to grab Gina's wrist.

"Can we just go by car?"

"..."
