Chapter 310

The conflict between China, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia, against Russia, is starting to get serious. It all started when the other countries raised their defense, they felt threatened by the power that Russia gained. Russia was already strong, yet because of the thousands of Skill Books that they obtained, their strength became formidable. 

The government of Russia gave the Skill Books to the loyal soldiers, these soldiers swear allegiance and they are ready to protect their country, the mother Russia. 

Since Kazakhstan and Mongolia are nearest to Russia, they decided to heighten the security of their borders. They always conduct rotational patrol on the border in case they found that Russia might send Hunters. They couldn't help it, Russia was getting stronger as time goes on. 

Hunters need to kill monsters and level up to get stronger. 

Some people in politics issued that they have to attack Russia before they become unstoppable. The idea of attacking first before they get attacked was attached to their ideologies. 

Because of the Awakening, most people believed that power is everything. No one believed in the human rights organizations anymore, because Hunters could kill a person without a problem. In this era, the Hunters became the God and the ordinary people became slaves. 

It may not appear on the surface but in the other third world countries, civilians became slaves under the government who has the power of Hunters. The Hunter Association was having a blind eye because they were getting affected too. Apparently, they have connections and the Association has a hard time exercising its power to stop them. 

Just like now, the Hunter Association tried to convince Russia, and the other countries involved to cool their heads but it was futile. Because in the end, the countries involved are strong and they can rival the Hunter Association. 

So instead of acting up, the Association decided not to interfere. Based on this, it was obvious that the Higher-ups of the Hunter Association are afraid. Perhaps they were thinking of pros and cons, in the end, they decided to let the countries do what they want. Perhaps the Hunter Association could profit because of this.

It was fucked up reasoning but the world is fucked up in the first place. All adults understand that the world is a cruel place. Especially now that supernatural abilities are the norm. 

Since the beginning of Awakening and as Hunters are started to appear, the death rate has increased by a large amount. Possibly because the government of each country does not have the power to stop the Hunters. So these said countries decided to build their own regime of soldiers made of Hunters. It was obvious but every country is eyeing each other now that power is the main factor. And now that Russia became number one in terms of Hunters that they can control, the countries close to them felt threatened and they had to be ready. 

Because of this, the tension between the said countries became suffocating. People with money decided to leave their homes and find a place that is safe and away from the upcoming war. It may appear peaceful but the world is slowly going to war.

One week after Mikael entered the Hidden Dungeon. 

Moscow, the capital of Russia was struck by nuclear weapons, thrice. Millions of people died, the city turned into ashes and millions of people cried over the loss. It was the most horrible disaster in history, it was more horrible than the terrorist attack of 9/11 or the Black Plague of 1346. 

The worst part was three countries were accountable. The whole world was shaken and humanity realized the heaviness of this situation. Some people kneeled and prayed, some people readied their weapons, while some are grinning and waiting for destruction.

Overall, it was utter chaos. Everyone is moving for their own purposes. It was frightening, the war that is. All of them understand that this is not going to be easy. Maybe the end of the world is slowly coming, maybe the Demons are not the ones who will destroy the Earth but the humans instead. 

Thus, the third world war arise. 

Amidst this chaos, a group of organizations was happily celebrating in the shadow. The Speitato is ready to use this situation to their advantage. Particularly Ivan Smirnov, millions of death means million of the undead. 

He was smiling while drinking vodka, he sure looks happy while his country is entering a war. 

"War, I will gain millions of undead. No, I will have hundreds of millions of undead at the end of this year."

He grinned and started laughing hysterically. His appearance was so disgusting despite having a handsome face. It was repulsive.

"I see, so it seems that the Third World War will start first before the First Invasion of Demons. Well, not a problem. At least one of my predictions became true. I can cope with this."

On the other hand, Kyle was watching the news that was flashing on the screen. It was frightening but Kyle witnessed a lot of frightening things so he was already used to it. In fact, this was just the beginning. The world, the humanities, the Demihuman, the Demons, and the story, they are slowly going to be fucked up. The people will puke because of how disgusting it would be. 

"The question is… Will I kill Ivan or let him live?"

He asked himself. He was thinking of the pros and cons if he killed Ivan. 

That man was the 2nd Rank of the 2nd Batch, he was one rank under Kim Soo-Woon and it means a lot. He was one of the people who can rival the Demons in terms of insanity. Although in the end, he died. Ivan was prideful and he did not like the Demons. 

In the last battle, he used all of his undead and almost killed Belphegor, the Demon Lord of Sloth. Their battle last for a month before Ivan died. That catastrophe showed how powerful Ivan Smirnov was. 

Kyle was tapping his fingers and shut his eyes.
