Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 35: World Beyond The Stone Gate

Heero followed the man in the black coat and went out of the train. Jilin Station, different from the station in Star City. Jilin Station located outside of Jilin Town.

Moreover, Jilin Station was guarded strictly. Heero saw there were at least twenty people wearing a dark green uniform with a cloud pattern in black patrolled. These people also brought a gun and a sword with them.

The army was the ones who guarded the station. There was a star symbol on each army's left arm, showing they were an army of Star City.

Heero looked back and forth curiously. Especially to the gun that the soldier had. He wondered how the weapon worked as this was the first time he saw the gun. There was no sharp blade, but a barrel with a small hole. The handle also located below.

As he was gazing to the gun too long, one soldier glared fiercely back. This soldier wanted to scare Heero with their fierce look.

Heero only shook his head and followed the guide. Dong Woo's man delivered him out of the station and pointed to Jilin Town.

"Teacher Xing, that's Jilin Town. You can follow the road to reach the town!" With his flat tone, the man guided Heero the way to Jilin Town.

Heero nodded his head, "Thank you."

The man in the black returned with a nod. Since the first time they met, the man had expressionless look and always spoke in a flat tone. The man also did not bother to tell his name until now. The man left with no words.

Heero shrugged, he was used to this kind of treatment. It often happened when he visited the commerce region.

"Alright, I have arrived at Jilin Town."

Heero brought the smartwatch in his wrist closer to his face. After a moment, the smartwatch brightened up. It was the system Heero liked, face unlock.

After that, he opened the map given to him by Dong Woo. On the map showed a green dot which was very near to Jilin Town. The green dot was his position.

The place he must visit was the red dot. It was located in the northeast of Jilin Town. The red dot was where the dungeon located.

"I have a check the place called the dungeon and find Kang Seo Yeon. The sooner I find her, then the sooner I will get my kisshehehe."

Heero let out giggled and departed to the northeast of Jilin Town.

...

Meanwhile, Hero League HQ

Park Yong Gi was reading the newest report of the dungeon. Hero League sent a huge team to explore and find the missing heroes in the dungeon. The team consisted of an Emperor Class and 120 Gold Class as the main force, and 200 Silver Class as the supporter.

Emperor Class - Rank 20, Huo Liang Xun was selected as the leader of the team. Huo Liang Xun was famous for his transformation ability. Gaining the ability to transform his body into a red tiger, Huo Liang Xun reached Emperor Class at the age of 35 years.

He was one of the youngest in Emperor Class after the Emperor Class - Rank 7, Musashi Naizen who reached Emperor Class at the age of 27 years.

Park Yong Gi furrowed his brows as he read the report. It had been ten days since the team entered the dungeon, but there was only a little progress.

Even the team under the lead of Emperor Class, they could not venture deeper into the dungeon. It was said, there were many mutated beasts inside and all of them were stronger than the mutated beast outside.

Moreover, the team could not venture deeper because of a group of giant lizards. Yes, a group of giant lizards prevented the team to venture deeper into the dungeon.

The team also could not force their way in as there were three Emperor Level beasts amongst the giant lizards. Huo Liang Xun alone would not be enough.

Park Yong Gi rubbed his forehead, he began feeling a headache with these negative reports. At this time, he suddenly remembered a youth's funny declaration.

"Hire me as Hero Instructor, Hero League will give birth to many Emperor Class Hero!"

He shook his head and wryly smiled, 'there's no way Emperor Class would come that easily.'

Yes, Hero League was lack of manpower. From 21

Emperor Class, only 2 Emperor Class available at this time. Huo Liang Xun responded to their call, while the other refused as he still had his training. Musashi Naizen refused the call because he was currently training.

Even though the team encountered trouble in the dungeon, Hero League could not send assistance. The heroes they sent were the best out of the best in the available list.

Park Yong Gi was put in a tough spot.

Diriring! Diriring!

The telephone on his table ringing. He immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello, Park Yong Gi here."

"Executive Park, we lost contact with Ayumu and Tao Bin!" A panicked voice sounded from the phone.

"Ayumu? Tao Bin?" Park Yong Gi paused for a moment. Then he remembered these two Silver Class had a task to keep a watch on Xing Heero.

"Urgh? How long it has been you lost contact with them?"

"It's been eleven hours. The last report is eleven hours ago! We can't reach them now and we can't track their smartwatch as well! Moreover, Xing Heero no longer in the noodles shop."

"Urgh!" Park Yong Gi rubbed his head. He truly felt a headache now.

Park Yong Gi rummaged his table which was full of the documents. He was looking for a report from Ayumu and Tao Bin.

Yesterday, everything was still normal. He read the report, there was nothing special about yesterday's report, except for one thing. Instructor Kang's Granddaughter and Grandson met that man, Xing Heero.

They could not get the conversation between them. But from the report, both children seemed to be fond of this man.

"What about Instructor Kang's grandchildren? Is there anything happen to them?"

"No! Kang Dong Woo and Kang Myung Hee are in their residence. I checked it just now!" A nervous voice answered from the phone.

"What about the two girls who opened the noodle shop?"

Based on the report, Xing Heero got a close relationship with the two girls.

"Hmm They are fine. The two siblings opened their shop as usual."

"What about the surveillance around that district? Do you catch anything from it?"

"Actually, the CCTV around that district is not working anymore since a month ago." A small voice yet also nervous came out of the phone.

During the talk, the door opened. A man with the fine build, wearing a Japanese's traditional clothes kimono, having parted short black hair, good looking, and two swords on his waist. This man was Musashi Naizen, Emperor Class - Rank 7.

When this Musashi Naizen entered the room, Park Yong Gi brightened. It was as if he found a savior.

"Alright, send another 5 Silver Class and track that man. Also, look all surveillance in the outer region and find him!"

After that Park Yong Gi closed the phone and Musashi Naizen was already in front of him. Musashi Naizen was standing there and frowned toward Park Yong Gi.

"Is there a problem in the outer region?" Musashi Naizen's toneless voice came out.

"No problem, just a small matter. There's a more important matter." Park Yong Gi handed a report he got from the team entered the dungeon.

Yes, Xing Heero was only a small matter in Park Yong Gi's eyes. The big one was the problem related to the dungeon.

"Hooo, so you called me because of this. Looking for the five missing Gold Class and investigate the dungeon hmm, interesting. Even animal Huo is having a hard time. Hooo, three Emperor Level beasts this is really interesting. If there are really many Emperor Level beasts, then this place is worth visiting."

The way Musashi Naizen's words sounded overbearing and arrogant. He even called Emperor Class - Rank 20, Huo Liang Xun animal Huo. However, Park Yong Gi also knew this man in his mid-twenties had a capability for being arrogant.

"Good, I will take this mission. Losing another Emperor Class will only increase the Emperor Class workload!"

...

It took half an hour for Heero to reach the entrance of the dungeon. Just like Dong Woo said, the entrance was a stone gate, a big stone gate. But there was something wrong with the information he got from Dong Woo.

The stone gate was supposed to not that big. It was supposed to be two meters wide and five meters tall. However, the stone gate guarded by many heroes had eight meters wide and twelve meters tall.

Heero spied the situation from afar. There were many tents that stood around and the stone gate surrounded by many heroes. Just like Dong Woo told him, Hero League guarded and forbade others to enter the stone gate.

However, even the stone gate was guarded tightly, it was not a problem for Heero to sneak in. Heero closed his eyes, then Ki in blue rose from his feet and enveloped his body.

Heero opened his eyes and strode forward to the stone gate. He was using stealth, it was a technique he learned from a beast during his training at Nebraska Mountain.

When he entered the camp area, no one noticed Heero's presence. They were still doing what they were supposed to do. Even when Heero stood right before the stone gate, the four heroes around the gate could not see or feel Heero's presence.

Heero stood before the stone gate and looked at it carefully. Behind the gate was only darkness. He could see nothing behind the stone gate. The concept was somewhat similar to the door at the peak of Nebraska Mountain.

After looking for a while, Heero entered the stone gate. He arrived in the world behind the stone gate. The scene greeted him beyond the gate was a lush forest and refreshing air.

"Somehow, this place reminds me of Dramonia Ehhh!???".

Heero immediately activated his Mystical Eyes and he dumbfounded for what he saw. The air composition of this place was about the same as Dramonia.
