Chapter 308
meanwhile that time.
Hermes was working hard on field command in the situation room.
―Ah, this is Destroyer. Currently, he is crushing Shin In-hyeok with great admiration. more.
-Rapid. under surveillance. no problem.
– Distortion. waiting patiently. I’d rather just keep waiting like this. haaam.
“… … check.”
Despite the constant good reports coming from the other officers in charge of the current raid, Hermes looked very displeased.
‘If I had known that the Abyssal Sea would run rampant, I wouldn’t have bothered to ask for help from the other executives.’
The success of the raid itself is something to be happy about.
But the timing isn’t very good.
no. The timing is great, but I have to say I feel like I’ve lost something.
‘If this is the case, it would be like sharing the ball with other executives.’
If the waters of the abyss had run out of control a little earlier, there would be no need to ask for help from the three officers.
If the main personnel are dispatched to the Abyssal Sea, the security of Seoul will naturally be weakened.
Then, even without the help of other executives, they would have been able to occupy the Madosinga.
‘Or did it run rampant two hours earlier?’
It was 13 hours ago that I contacted other executives.
Before that, it would have been best if the Abyssal Waters were running out of control.
To be honest, wanting that far is too greedy.
I wonder what it would have been like if it had only been 2 hours, no, 1 hour earlier.
‘In that case, I would have been able to achieve my goal more easily by moving after the power in Seoul ran out.’
Since the raid started before Seoul’s manpower even left for the South Sea, of course, Seoul’s security is the same as usual.
Rather than using the abyssal waters as a diversion, a situation unfolded as if the Seoul side had become a diversion.
If the Abyss Sea had run out of control just an hour earlier, it would have benefited greatly.
Why do you have to cause a runaway at the same time?
I feel like I’ve lost a lot thanks to that.
‘Ugh it’s frustrating.’
Of course, even if Seoul’s security remains intact, the probability of assistance from other districts disappears as much as there is a problem on the Busan side, so the gain is a gain.
It’s definitely a benefit in terms of timing, but I’m not very happy to think that I could have benefited from something bigger.
―This is Rapid. The rate of change is still not found.
And above all, the biggest problem is that Shin Ha-ryul, which is the core of this operation, has not yet been discovered.
You can’t feel good if you want to feel good.
‘What if the raid is going well? I can’t see the really important servant rate.’
As it is, Destroyer succeeded in killing Shin In-hyeok.
The Madosinga was destroyed.
It has no meaning unless you can deal with the Shinha rate.
‘It’s going to take a while that the blue mage tower hasn’t revealed itself yet.’
I’ve even prepared an opponent for the blue mage tower master.
The news of the blue mage tower is still unknown.
Thanks to that, the awkwardness is doubling.
And that’s not all.
‘It’s not just the blue tower, other towers are also ignoring Korea’s request for assistance… … .’
I can understand why the blue mage lord is not showing up after giving up 100 steps.
You may have been seriously injured in some kind of incident.
It’s possible that you got a backlash while researching something, and there was a problem with your mana circle.
But I can’t understand why the other magic towers remain silent.
‘I wonder if it’s just the Magic Tower. More than half of the world’s well-known archmages do not respond.’
Including prestigious houses from around the world, guilds, corporations, alliances, associations, and more.
All kinds of great wizards with connections to Korea are not being contacted.
I don’t know if it’s a different country, so many archmages are silent in Korea’s request for support?
It is impossible.
‘It takes too much.’
From one to ten, it takes too many things.
That’s why Hermes is making such a complex and subtle expression right now.
Even if the raid is going well, nothing is going to come out coolly.
‘If I continue like this, I’ll bring disappointment to the Dark Mage King again.’
The Dark Mage King has already looked after Hermes twice.
Probably not three times.
If you fail this time, you will surely be disposed of.
Hermes chewed his nails with a nervous expression.
‘… … No matter what happens, I have to deal with Shin Ha-ryul.’
Even if it was to repay the trust of the Dark Mage King.
Even if it is to achieve the dream of creating your own country in the distant future.
I need to get rid of the Shin Ha-Rul somehow.
Hermes raised both hands on the keyboard with a sharp expression.
‘I don’t know where he’s hiding, but in this chaotic situation, he has no choice but to appear.’
I don’t know where or how he’s hiding, but if both Seoul and Busan are dangerous right now, Shin Ha-yul will have no choice but to move.
Hermes squeezed mana to the limit and poured it into the computer.
‘Come on, show yourself. God’s rate.’
All of Hermes’ nerves were focused on the computer, and it was connected to the entire Korean peninsula.
About 1 hour ahead.
Until Hermes’ mental power is exhausted, no communication or video can escape Hermes’ eyes and ears.

“This makes it clear. There is no support from Seoul. No, I can’t come.”
About 20 minutes have passed since the abyss began to run wild.
Some understanding of the situation has been completed.
“Judging from the fact that I have not been able to contact my father yet, the situation in Seoul seems to be quite serious. You won’t be able to afford to come all the way here.”
“There are three 8th circle wizards in Seoul. If you still can’t stop it… … . How big is the raid?”
“At least three executives. The number of general members is expected to easily exceed one hundred.”
In the worst case, all existing cadres could have scrambled.
‘According to Shadow’s report, there are seven remaining officers, including Hermes. If all seven were dispatched… … .’
Three 8th circle wizards aren’t enough.
“So you mean we have to wait for support from other countries?”
“It would be nice to receive support from other countries… … . He probably won’t come.”
“why?”
Perhaps, it would be difficult to expect support from other countries.
“hmm. First of all, it’s not just my father and Captain Charles who can communicate with this communication device.”
I showed Terun the communication device and continued.
“This includes the Lord of the Blue Tower, the Lord of the Green and Red Towers. And it is designed to be able to communicate directly with Sofia Anechefri.”
“… … So, a communication device that can directly connect with Sophia Anechevri? How do you have that?”
“I will explain the details later. Anyway, the important thing is that I can communicate with Sofia-sama with this communication device… … .”
I stared at the communication device and smiled wryly.
“It means that Sophia-nim is silent.”
“… … Why?”
“There is only one reason why Sophia will not be contacting me at this time. He was in the middle of an operation, so he didn’t have time to be contacted.”
“mission? What kind of mission is Sophia moving herself?”
“It is a large-scale mission to eliminate all the spies of the Black Mage Tower hiding in each country, each company, and each famous house.”
“Spy of the Black Mage Tower, what else is that… … .”
“I will explain more about this later. There are so many intertwined things that there is not enough time to explain them now.”
Anyway, Terun also got on the same boat with me. As long as they are sharing the top-secret information of the top-secret, Mimir’s thesis, this level of secrecy is nothing.
“Anyway, there is a high probability that Sofia-sama is currently carrying out a large, world-class mission, and a top-secret one. And that, along with all the great wizards from all over the world.”
“That means… … .”
“yes. It is a situation where support is not available. The people who will come to support are currently on a top-secret mission, so we cannot contact them.”
As he is carrying out a top-secret mission to secretly eliminate the spies of the Black Magic Tower hidden in each country, contact with the outside world is bound to be cut off.
As long as he has a suppressor called Hermes, he must be working hard on his mission while excluding communications.
There is a high probability that Sophia is unaware of the current situation in Korea.
“No, but not all wizards were put into the operation. So, how much support can you come up with?”
“It’s 60%.”
“what?”
“As far as I know, the percentage of archmages with 7th circle or higher who participated in this spying operation.”
“6, 60%? If that level of wizards lost contact at the same time… … .”
“yes. There is no way other countries will send aid under such circumstances.”
This means that more than 60% of existing large-scale power is out of contact.
In this situation, will each country quickly send aid?
No way.
Nine out of ten withholds an answer.
So will my country.
“But to some extent… … .”
“Support will come. however… … .”
Of course, not all countries will be silent.
There are definitely countries that want to send support.
but.
“Even if support comes, it will go to Seoul first. Seoul and Jeju Island. Among them, the priority should be given to Seoul, no matter who sees it.”
It is the capital of the country and a city where 13 million people live.
seoul.
It is clear that the government will prioritize Seoul over Jeju Island.
The number of lives at stake is different.
“… … There is no guarantee that over 100,000 monsters can be stopped just because they come to support with harsh words.”
In the first place, Seoul and Jeju Island.
The difficulty of solving the case that occurred on both sides is so stark.
It seems that there is a possibility to somehow prevent the attack of Seoul.
It is not Jeju Island.
The movement of more than 100,000 marine monsters could not be prevented with moderate support.
“The more I listen, the more I get no answers… … .”
“yes. I’m not too lucky. Three incidents overlapping at the same time.”
spying operation.
The Black Magic Tower’s assault on Seoul.
Abyssal sea area runaway.
How can these three events overlap at the same time?
It’s too gimmicky for a coincidence.
“So what? Should I jump out?”
“From a common sense point of view, that is the most reasonable choice. The plane can’t float due to the unstable mana gushing out of the Abyssal Sea, but… … .”
Currently, the sea area of Abyss is running out of control, and the atmosphere around Jeju Island is in a mess. Airplanes cannot fly.
“Fortunately, we have Behemoth.”
But whether the plane flies or not, that has nothing to do with us.
All we have to do is ride the Behemoth and run away.
“I-I’m sorry. I think that would be difficult.”
Therun lowered his head with a serious expression on the world.
“I just checked by connecting my mind with the Behemoth, but it’s impossible to penetrate the Abyss right now.”
“Why?”
“Everyone has lost their temper due to the runaway, and it is clear that they will attack indiscriminately against themselves… … . They say it’s impossible to pierce that many monsters no matter how hard you try.”
“To the current monsters, things like Behemoth’s intimidation don’t work. That’s what you mean.”
When you think about it, it was natural.
There was no way the runaway monsters would back down from Behemoth’s intimidation.
“Then, it means that the seaway is blocked.”
“yes.”
Therun’s expression darkened even more.
“Anyway, the runaway… … .”
“yes. It sounds like it will be difficult.”
Not even a plane.
Not even Behemoth.
Escape is impossible.
“Oh, wait a minute. Let’s check one more thing.”
Then, a method came to mind.
“What?”
“You will know when you see it.”
I used Factio using the ‘Covenant Stone’.
At my call, Miho, who was resting in Danteroa’s book, appeared.
“He… … .”
“nine tailed fox. My name is Miho. They are my family.”
“nine tailed fox… … ?”
Terun said, ‘Nine-tailed fox, nine-tailed fox.’ She muttered, lost in thought.
Is this your first name? It was an expression that seemed to think.
“Miho. Could you check if we can get out of this island?”
Perhaps, if it was Miho’s ‘path of the soul’, somehow it would work.
At my question, Miho immediately looked around.
It must be checking the path of the soul.
I waited slowly for Miho to answer.
About 1 minute passed like that.
dory dory.
Miho shook her head.
‘It’s not even the path of the soul.’
Just in case, it seems that even the path of the soul cannot penetrate it.
Previously, it was the same in Mt. Baekdu.
The path of the soul seems to be greatly affected by the surge of mana around it.
“Not even Miho says no. Escape seems impossible.”
As long as Miho doesn’t have an answer, there is no other way.
Escape is impossible.
“Then the only thing left to do is… … .”
“yes.”
So, now there is only one option left.
“We have to stop it.”
You have to deal with the monsters coming from the Abyssal Sea.
“Somehow with only the current power.”
