Hunters across the empire are preparing for a battle that will determine their future. A herd of beasts is approaching, and after a recent attack that has left many dead and wounded, the admirals are scrambling to put their regiments in order. Enough hunters must be mobilized to face the oncoming threat, while also leaving enough men to clear the new dungeons around the city

There are enemies everywhere, but there are not enough people on hand. As intelligence about a particularly powerful hunter rose to the top, the upper echelons of the empire were slightly frustrated. The hunter single-handedly swept down the hordes of monsters that were about to besiege Star City. With top hunters like Steele Mikhail on board, they feel like they can still come out of it intact

As the fragments began to move, the order was quickly issued. They were tired and afraid, but they would not give in. If necessary, they will fight to the last breath. As the hunters began to move to the edge of the empire to meet the incoming enemy, the city gradually became stable

In the wake of the recent attacks, the U.S. federal state is in a terrible state. Three of its nations have fallen into the hands of a powerful black dragon, and anyone who defies it will be killed. When the dragon began to move, its fear was just beginning. Underneath it is a number of subordinates that look like a hybrid of humans and lizards, as well as smaller reptiles that look like it but have no wings.

The black dragon's first move made many people despair, as it ordered the human hunters to retreat under its power, forming a force that attacked the surrounding countries. It has many beasts at its disposal, but it mostly uses humans to fight for its dominance. Scenes of hunters coming face to face in battles have already begun, and anyone who emerges alive from these battles will have a sense of defeat

Both sides are fighting to defend the lives of their own people, with one side trying to protect the millions of people who have already been conquered by the Black Dragon forces. Any dissent from them could lead to the death of millions, and this terrible beast only needs to say a word.

The leaders of the Holy Empire are observing the situation while providing support to the United Federation for the first time in a while. As hunters had to be sent to the imminent tribes in the south, others stayed behind to protect the empire itself, and still others were sent to the United Federation with very little allocation of resources. If all the countries there fall under the command of the Black Dragon, the Empire will be next.

For the first time in a while, Kazuhiko Kurokiya felt different emotions. Even after the apocalypse, he was not as apathetic and disinterested as usual. Over time, he naturally awakened and became the most powerful hunter in the Federation

He cleared the dungeon, faced the first-class giants, and accomplished everything he had dreamed of as a teenager. But he soon got tired again. Even after the dungeon reappeared en masse again, the A-class boss of the Dungeon Shatter Zone soon fell to his sword

But right now, something different is happening. His blood boiled when he saw the image of the huge black dragon that was heading towards the center of the Federation. He felt that the giant beast was a good enough opponent for him, but he also knew his limitations. Even though he is a combat addict, he still wants to save his life. The beast they were dealing with was one level higher than him, with thousands of beasts around him. That's why he leads the Hunters of the Federation against the Black Dragon and his army

He looked down on humans who succumbed to the power of the beast. Where is their pride in stepping down so easily? Men should fight to the last breath! Even if the entire team he leads is overwhelmed, he will not succumb to the domination of the beast. He didn't want that possibility, because he wanted to live longer and fight more big battles, so he was waiting.

He waited for hunters from all over the country to gather. He waited for reinforcements from the neighboring empire. He waited for all the pieces to be in place, and then confronted the giant beast and its army. His heart beats as he gazes at the image of the dragon. He can't wait to go to war!

Steele Mikhail lowered the spear of his trust as he absorbed the information. Their Holy Empire gave birth to another powerful hunter, Noah Osmont. Judging by the merits he has done so far, this information puts him at the top of the list. He remembered the scene described, where the hunter confronted hordes of beasts and single-handedly took down three Tier A bosses. Can he do something similar?

He needs the help of other hunters stationed in the capital to take down the A-class boss who has emerged as a result of multiple prison breaks. He had the mage heal him and the other hunters, keeping them busy while he delivered the killing strike. However, Noah seems to have done the work of multiple hunters on his own. He withstood the Titan's attack and came out alive, using highly aggressive spells to destroy it while also healing the injured hunters he encountered. He's really powerful

Mikhail did not feel any form of jealousy or envy for his title as the most powerful hunter of the empire. He loves the land he is on and is willing to do anything for it. Having a more powerful hunter is naturally a good thing.

They have been informed that Noah is heading for the monster horde in the south of the empire. This shows the person's confidence in his own strength. The Empire also continued to send troops and resources to the periphery to deal with the beast and reinforce the hunter.

Most high-level hunters are either on the same page as Noah or travel to the United Federation to help deal with emerging threats, which will point to the Empire once it rages.

He will remain in the capital as a protector of the capital. He and a few other hunters will clean up the A-class dungeons here, as well as the new dungeons that have appeared in the surrounding cities, so that there will be no further prison escapes from the dungeons. He will be the last line of defense for the millions of people living in the empire. That's his role. He is a protector.
