Chapter 16:

After entering the portal closed and he knew what that meant, a red portal. He wouldn't be able to get out until he killed the boss but….this dungeon didn't have a boss.

Ciel didn't answer his questions and there Rimuru realized that the portal was Ciel's work. A clock appeared in the dark sky and he sighed, was she supposed to endure that amount of time-fighting?

"I won't be able to finish this," he said looking around.

Orcs, goblins, wolves, snakes, demons, spiders, giants, dragons, etc. All kinds of monsters surrounded him in that wasteland.

Their ranks went from E to S+, the most powerful were the dragons and some demons that reached the S level.

Rimuru needed all his strength and skills to relentlessly fight the seemingly endless monsters.

Korea:

Hunters and citizens did not have time to celebrate the recovery of Jeju Island, as this time an S-rank portal was in the country's capital.

All S-rank Hunters who could fight were called to the portal that Rimuru had entered. They made a formation around the place in case monsters started coming out of the dungeon.

Those of lower rank were added as the ships returned from the shores of Jeju Island.

Sung Jin Woo along with Beru, the strongest ant he had turned into a shadow, made sure to eliminate the remaining ants, and then the dark-haired man joined the guard outside the portal in Seoul (The capital of Korea).

The most relevant hunters were Sung Jin Woo, Yoo Jin Ho, Park Hee Jin, Choi Jong In, Ma Dong Gook, Lim Tae Gyu, Baek Yoon Ho, Go Gun Hee, and Kanae Tawata who decided to go help Korea instead of going back. to Japan.

Cha Hae In and Han Song Yi were still unconscious in the hospital. The blonde Girl would soon woke up with no serious injuries but Song Yi was in a coma.

"I can't believe he entered an S-rank portal alone," Kanae muttered as she sharpened the only katana she had left.

"He's strong," Go Gun Hee said. "I appreciate your help, Miss Tawata."

"If the country of the guild I'm going to join is destroyed I won't be able to move anymore, I don't do this just to be a good person" Kanae replied. "And I know firsthand that Rimuru is strong but I'm not sure that anyone in the world can clear an S-rank dungeon by himself"

"A national-level hunter might have a few chances but it still wouldn't be safe to make it" Choi Jong In joined the conversation.

"That means if he succeeds..."

"His strength is at least national level." Kanae finished what Baek was going to say and everyone fell silent.

Inside the portal:

Rimuru had already exceeded his limits a long time ago, his body wasn't going to resist for too long.

"A little...more," he whispered, trying not to close his eyes. "I'm gonna make it!"

There were only 5 enemies left, he couldn't distinguish them well due to the extreme tiredness he felt, his eyes were barely open.

He swung the Tempest sword at the monsters. He didn't dodge anymore, he just attacked without stopping, he needed to finish as fast as possible or he wouldn't make it.

The clock in the sky stopped with 10 seconds left.

>>You got it master<< Ciel said and opened the portal. >>You can go out<<

Outside the gate:

"How long has it been since He entered?"

"Two days, that means he's been in there for a month and a half"

"If he is still alive"

While some chatted the portal changed to its usual color.

"The portal opens!" Ma Dong Gook warned.

"Everyone get ready!" Go Gun Hee ordered.

Everyone was attentive to the slightest movement, any monster could come out of there.

But to their luck, the one who came out was Rimuru Tempest and the portal closed behind him. He had made it, he cleared an S-rank dungeon by himself.

Nobody said a word, the shock was present in everyone. Rimuru's bare torso had lots of wounds and scars, many wondered how he could be alive in that state.

Despite feeling hellish pain throughout his body he managed to raise the hand that held the sword, he was declaring victory.

The applause and shouts did not wait, the whole place was filled with noise.

Kanae walked over to Rimuru and caught him before he limply fell to the ground.

"Go up" Sung Jin Woo made Kaisel appear and together with Kanae took Rimuru to the nearest hospital, as well as giving him healing potions that helped a little.

The world was going to be in chaos for a while.

In Song Yi's dream:

Song Yi dreamed that she was on a green hill, and in front of her was a dark-haired masked woman who was watching her.

"You must wake up," the girl told her and took off her mask, her resemblance to Rimuru surprised Song Yi. "He will be sad if you don't come back, so I will lend you my strength"

"May I know your name?" Song Yi asked.

"My name was Shizue Izawa." She smiled and raised her hand in farewell.

Song Yi blinked and she was no longer on that hill with the dark-haired girl, she was in a hospital room.

Beside her, was the katana that Beru had broken was as good as new.
