The Eiffel Tower, Paris. 

This place, which was always filled with tourists, still remained the same although the situation in France was not good at the moment.

It was still filled with tourists and the business people who were selling stuff to them.

The only difference was the fact that armed soldiers could be found everywhere to guard against the possible appearance of a monster. There was nothing strange about it and no one cared about it.

Therefore, no one would pay attention to an Asian man sitting on a bench not too far from the Eiffel Tower with his hat covering his face.

Coocoo! Coocoo!

And no one paid attention to the flock of pigeons who were eating the pieces of bread that this man was throwing.

It was then.

“Isn't there a sign that says to not give food to invasive birds like pigeons?”

A Frenchman appeared.

This Frenchman, who was wearing a luxurious colorful sweater, appeared to be quite stylish.

His beard was neatly trimmed, his horn rimmed glasses rested elegantly atop his nose, and his hair neatly pulled back.

This man, whose visage was comparable to a model, sat beside the Asian man.

Coocoo!

The pigeons scattered in surprise at the sudden appearance of a stranger, but when the Asian man threw out another piece of bread, the pigeons flocked once again.

Coocoo!

The repeated cries and sounds of the pigeons wings made the surrounding area incredibly noisy.

“It makes me look like a tourist.”

The Asian man, Kim Woo-jin, who was aiming for exactly that, threw out some words.

“Well, that's also true.”

At those words, the Dragon Slayer, Francois Sureau, nodded with a chuckle. 

“It certainly is smart to make it look that way.”

When he heard the Dragon Slayer's words, Kim Woo-jin simply kept throwing the bread in his hand without responding.

Silence fell.

But the Dragon Slayer didn't let it last for long.

“I heard you asked for the Balmung.”

He immediately led the conversation.

“The Master did.”

“I never expected Isaac Ivanov to be so materialistic. Nothing like a hero who's trying to save the world.”

The conversation dropped for a while due to that provocation.

Coocoo!

In the silence, the pigeons cried out as though they were asking for more bread, and Kim Woo-jin threw some bread at them as he said.

“The Master said that there's no reason to save the French citizens first, instead of the citizens from third world countries who are struggling and desperate, just for one skill page.”

This time it was the Dragon Slayer who fell silent.

The silence lasted for a long time.

Coocoo!

The Dragon King didn't say anything for so long that even the pigeons, who had run out of things to eat again, started to cry out.

It was a third party that broke their silence.

Wiiiiiiing!

Following a piercing alarm from the speakers all around the area, French words began to flow out.

-This is an emergency! Monsters have appeared. Evacuate to a safe area immediately!

After those words were said in French, it was then repeated in English.

-This is an emergency! Monsters have appeared. Evacuate to a safe area immediately!

It was only then that most of the people there understood what was happening.

“The monsters!”

“Everyone run away!”

“Kyaaak!”

Screams and shouts began to sound out from every direction.

Coocoocoo!

The pigeons flapped their wings and flew away without hesitation at the sudden change in the situation. Flying so quickly that they disappeared from sight in an instant.

Only one place remained quiet, Kim Woo-jin and the Dragon Slayer.

Tututu!

Roar!

Even when the roars from monsters and gunshots sounded out, the two sat quietly on the bench, not showing any reaction.

Roar!

At that moment, they heard a fierce roar that shook the air.

An Ogre!

It was the sound of that ridiculous, rage filled monster, searching for prey.

Only then did the Dragon Slayer, who had been silent all this while, open his mouth.

“It seems a group of Ogres came out of the dungeon in the Paris subway.”

“Can they not even manage the subway in the core of the city?”

“They're managing it well. It's just that they make mistakes like these on purpose.”

“The world is really collapsing.”

The conversation between them was so calm that it would be impossible to imagine that a fearsome monster like an Ogre was near them.

Of course, this sight was to be expected.

After all, both Kim Woo-jin and the Dragon Slayer were both players who could hunt monsters like Ogres even if they were naked.

In fact, there wouldn't even be a need for both of them to act. 

Just one of them would be able to handle the situation with ease.

At that moment, an Ogre appeared in front of Kim Woo-jin and the Dragon Slayer.

Roar!

Upon catching sight of his prey, the Ogre's eyes became crazed as it let out a fierce roar.

Thud!

Then it began charging towards Kim Woo-jin and the Dragon Slayer with large steps.

Kikiki!

Suddenly, a Fire Dokkaebi appeared behind Kim Woo-jin and the Dragon Slayer, and hit the Ogre with a fireball from its hand while letting out a bizarre cry. (TL: Dokkaebis are generally goblins, but the author uses different words for them so I'll keep them separated)

Pok!

With a loud crash, the Ogre fell backwards, its body covered in flames.

“Everyone's here already.”

Then a beautiful voice came from behind them.

When he heard the voice, the Dragon Slayer turned around and spoke with a polite tone, completely different from how he spoke to Kim Woo-jin.

“Park Shin-hye, I've been waiting for you.”

Park Shin-hye.'

When the Messiah Guild's number two player appeared, Kim Woo-jin was able to grasp the Dragon Slayer's intentions perfectly.

'So he's weighing us.'

He had somehow brought the Messiah Guild into his negotiation with the Saviour Guild to attack the 7 Floor dungeon.

He wanted to achieve his goal by using both sides.

And the Messiah Guild had willingly accepted the deal.

When he realised this, Kim Woo-jin covered his face with both hands, hiding his reaction from everyone.

'The Dragon Slayer certainly didn't fail to meet my expectations.'

To hide the smile that had subconsciously appeared on his face.

As the number of monsters appearing in the cities increased, mankind began developing specialised countermeasures to deal with them.

They developed new weapons for the different types of monsters, and created certain rules of engagement and manuals for each type of monster.

The same was true for Ogres.

The French government had created the following manual to be followed in the event of an Ogre's appearance.

First, don't fire your weapon unless you intend to draw its attention, because automatic rifles were only able to invoke its anger without causing any damage.

Second, only try to hunt it with anti tank weapons such as anti tank rockets or anti tank mines.

Third, if you don't have the above mentioned firepower, do not engage and run away as quickly as possible.

In other words, according to the manual, even dozens of soldiers with automatic rifles would only be able to flee if they were to encounter an Ogre.

That was how it was.

The terror of the monster known as the Ogre.

Kikiki!

But now, these fearsome Ogres were being annihilated by a group of colorful Fire Dokkaebis.

This was literal.

The Dokkaebis were trampling the Ogres beneath their feet with the clubs in their hands.

It was truly an amazing fact.

Thud!

The most surprising fact was that although these were Fire Dokkaebis, their physical strength was enormous.

Thud!

Every time a Fire Dokkaebi took a step, the ground shook as though a bus fell from a cliff.

'The power of Seven-colored Dokkaebis has always been terrifying.'

Seven-colored Dokkaebis.

It was a legendary skill that summoned seven different colored Dokkaebis who each used a different type of magic.

'It's one of Park Shin-hye's top five spells.'

It was one of the five skills that the second in command of the Messiah Guild, Park Shin-hye, was known for.

To put it bluntly, it was overkill to use it to kill Ogres.

Originally, this was a skill that Park Shin-hye would use to hunt a boss monster, and it was actually not easy for Park Shin-hye to summon a group of Fire Dokkaebis.

In other words, she was using a blade used to kill a cow, to kill a chicken.

'By using that skill, she's basically making a show of strength.'

Of course, she was showing this skill as a warning.

“I think this is our first meeting. I am Park Shin-hye. Are you Mr. Kim Woo-jin?”

“Yes. that's right.”

“On the behalf of the Messiah Guild, I'd like to congratulate you on the creation of the Saviour Guild. The creation was so sudden that we could only congratulate you now.”

It was a warning to those who dared to bare their fangs towards the Messiah Guild.

Along with that warning, Park Shin-hye stretched out her hand that completely fit the description of 'dainty'.

And Kim Woo-jin accepted the beautiful warning without avoiding it.

“Thank you.”

After shaking hands, the eyes of the two naturally turned to the Dragon Slayer who nodded and said.

“First I'd like to ask you a favor. I'd appreciate it if you didn't speak Korean in front of me. I don't know Korean.”

After saying this, he quickly got to the point.

“First of all, I'm sorry that I didn't inform the Saviour Guild about this beforehand. But, the situation is urgent. As you can see, the situation is France is far worse than what was revealed to the world. The guillotine has already appeared above our heads. So I took the liberty of also asking the Messiah Guild for help.”

It wasn't complex information that would take a long time to understand.

Therefore, Kim Woo-jin responded immediately.

“In that case, is the Messiah Guild planning on attacking the dungeon?”

Park Shin-hye then said.

“We have to negotiate. Dungeons aren't things that can be attacked simply because you want to. There are many things that have to be considered.”

Then, as if he had been waiting for that, the Dragon Slayer said.

“Well, that's what your two guilds will need to negotiate with the French government, so I will get out of the way.”

It was then.

Woowoong!

The smartphone in Kim Woo-jin's pocket vibrated, signalling that he had received a message, and he bowed his head to them and asked to be excused.

“Please excuse my manners.”

Then he checked the message he received before frowning.

Immediately afterwards, he opened the web browser on his phone and checked a news portal website.

Then he saw it.

[The Messiah Guild vs the Saviour Guild. Clash over the 7 Floor dungeon.]

[Who will save the world first?]

News articles filled the website.

After confirming the text, Kim Woo-jin said.

“Now that the situation has changed, I'll need to talk to the Master before revealing the Saviour Guild's position.”
