Team Leader Choi’s cry came from afar.
Over the hundreds of monsters that exist between him and me, Choi’s face appears and then disappears.
Then something flashing spun through the air and landed nearby.
,This… …
What I could easily recognize was the [Hero’s Soul]. Team leader Choi shouted from an invisible place.
“I won’t say I’m going with you, so take that sword and go instead. and… … Be careful!”
A word with many meanings. Without a word, I pulled out the [Hero’s Soul].
Beyond the countless monsters that still filled his eyes, he could see a city wrapped in darkness.
“let’s go.”
Lee Jung-ryong smiled softly.
41621-
Breaking through a fierce battlefield with tens of thousands of troops intertwined is a near-impossible task.
but… … .
「Swept up. Blizzard!」
“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard, Jones? If that’s the case, I can’t stay still.”
A cataclysmic war hero, the world’s greatest
The high war mages and archers rained arrows like lightning and wide-area magic of great power.
「For Her Majesty the Queen!」
“Long Live The Queen!”
If an S-class hunter who appeared like a comet and the Prince of England led the elite Royal Knights and charged
「Formation J! Wipe them all away!”
“f*cking Jonna fight!”
“Eh eh! Come on!!!”
If the hundreds of death squads who have come to this place, willing to make noble sacrifices, advance as one body.
Quaaaaaaaa!
Quadd Deuk! Awesome!
The road is open.
It’s a road for only three people.
It was the last bow to end this war, and they became a single flash and crossed tens of thousands of monsters.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
A dazzling beam of light emitted from two swords and a spear swept over the monster.
Lycan with sharp fangs
Slop’s head soared into the air, and the limbs of the 6m tall boss monster, the Twin Head Ogre, were separated.
Five Death Knights who commanded each legion appeared and blocked them, but nothing changed.
– Military. caution. name. 一 oops. as
– Porridge. hmm. second. my. lee. paddle?. la.
Jin Tae-gyeong spat out a word.
“Two two one. Are you okay?”
Lee Jung-ryong nodded.
“Do that.”
“for a moment. what is that… … ! j
Before Wu Heixing could even ask, the two were already running.
Shortly closing the distance with just two steps, they swung the swords and spears in their hands without hesitation.
bang
sum of work. The new type of Death Knight that blocked the strong energy (? qi) bent like a whip is staggering.
At the sight of the sword emitting magical power being shattered, the Death Knight’s eyes widened.
– uh. How, ?… ?!
slam!
this sum. three sums. and.
Awesome!
A lightning-like blow that marks the end.
The upper body, which had been cut off along with the armor, slipped slowly. Between the deeply pressed helmets, the glimmering eyes disappeared like candles in the wind.
Before the new type of Death Knight they were assigned to hit the ground, Jin Tae-kyung and Lee Jeong-ryong were running towards another enemy.
「Damn it! I am too!”
In addition to that, Heishing Wu, who joined a little late.
The fate of the remaining three Death Knights was as if they had already been predicted.
The monsters who witnessed the disappearance of the commanders instinctively felt fear and retreated.
More more, more.’
Awesome! Chow ah!
Jin Tae-kyung moved on, cutting and destroying everything around him. And at some point he realized.
does not exist.’
The monsters that endlessly stood in the way were no longer visible. Broken roads and wilderness on either side.
At the end of it, a city shrouded in thick fog awaited them.
Me and Lee Jeong-ryong. Wuheixing moved at a furious pace towards the city where Acriche was located.
– Wicked human. to the commander
has a long-standing wish.
What.
– That’s right… … Go back to your hometown and enjoy a peaceful life.
I don’t even know where my hometown is because I don’t remember you.
– … … How can you say such harsh words?
Oh, I’m sorry. That was not my intention. So where is your hometown?
– The first king I came to my senses was Korea. I decided to make that place my heart’s home.
As I ran toward the city, I hesitated.
‘Is he crazy?’
Acquisition of citizenship on the topic of monsters, there is nothing I can’t say about the undead, illegal immigrants through the gate. It’s obvious that this is the intention.
– So please, let’s go back.
Nope.
– My head is dizzy and my stomach is pounding.
that’s interesting. I seem to have similar symptoms the more I talk to you.
– It’s not too late! stop please! If you go there, there is really no turning back!
no
‘It’s already late.’
I muttered in my heart and took a step. Upon entering the city, ominously thick fog and chilly air welcome you first.
At the same time, a familiar but different energy that I had felt countless times so far passed through my whole body.
“This… …
A sticky and unpleasant aura. i it
It didn’t take long for them to realize the true identity of Lee Jeong-ryong and Wu Hei-xing as well.
“This, this teacher.”
“That’s right;
Lee Jeong-ryong, who had been looking around with sunken eyes, parted his lips.
“It’s Gate. When I asked where so many monsters came from, there was a reason for that.”
Lee Jeong-ryong’s guess was wrong. To be exact, it should be half correct. Shaking my head slightly, I corrected his words.
“I don’t think gating has progressed fully yet.”
Wu Heixing swallowed dry saliva and asked.
“How do you know that?”
“It’s just a feeling.”
“what?”
“If you don’t believe me, don’t.”
“… … What kind of guy is this?”
As I expected, Wu Heixing had a puzzled look on his face, but Lee Jeongryong was different.
In his eyes looking at me
The emotions were obviously doubt and surprise.
“How do you do that?”
“Did you know?”
“I just remembered. It was a sensation I felt in North America a long time ago, during the Great Cataclysm.”
“okay.”
“But it’s something that hasn’t happened since the cataclysm. How did you know?”
“As I said, it’s just a feeling.
“Did you think so???…
Lee Jeong-ryong looks at me with an unknown look at my firm answer.
But that’s all I can say. Even if you tell me the truth, you won’t understand.
‘It’s not like I can show the system window.’ I raised my head and glanced into space. There, as soon as I entered the city, a system message was created in front of my eyes.
belt ring.
– ??? Class Gate [The Road Encroached by Darkness]
City] has entered!
– You have invaded [Ark Rich]’s stronghold!
– The city encroached by magical power is already transforming into a huge gate. Stop the transformation of the city by defeating the source of everything, the Arch Lich, and prevent future disasters.
– The quest [The One Who Returned from the Dead] has been created!
– Until the quest is over, [Login function is unavailable!
‘It’s gated.’
It is an incident of the past that I only read about in textbooks. Lee Jeong-ryong opened his mouth while looking through the thick fog.
“Gating was a rare phenomenon even during the Cataclysm. To do so, a very powerful monster had to take root as the main axis of magic.”
If it’s a very powerful monster, there’s nothing left to look at. I blurted out a word.
“Ark Rich.”
“Yes, he must be contaminating this city with magic and turning it into a huge gate. That must be the reason why he hasn’t appeared on the battlefield until now.”
Even the number of monsters that have appeared on the battlefield so far has reached 2.
That alone was tantamount to a huge disaster, but what if the gating was completely over?
‘It’s over.’
Obviously, the final victors will be humans, but countless cities will be destroyed and dozens, perhaps even millions, of people will die. It had to be stopped before it was too late.
“I don’t have much time. We must hurry.”
At my words, Lee Jeong-ryong nodded.
“If possible, avoid the monsters and move. You’ll have to conserve your strength to deal with them. Wu Heixing, you too.”
“… … yes.”
We started to make our way through the thick fog.
Unlike the small town that fought Leifei last time, the Ark Richie’s base boasted an area ten times larger than that, and traces of prosperity remained.
A forest of collapsed skyscrapers. Once the most glamorous in the city, but now a dilapidated downtown… … .
We moved as quickly and quietly as we could.
Jackie Chan, who had been leading the group from the front, suddenly opened his mouth.
“You know what?”
“If you say that, I don’t know. And I don’t think it’s a particularly good time to ask 20 questions.”
In response to my immediate reply, Lee Jung-ryong
let out a low laugh.
“I think about you especially these days.”
“Are you confessing to me now? The timing is also different.”
“In a sense, it could be. How to say, that you’d surpass me someday. That kind of idea.”
“You don’t have to worry too much about it. Anyway, even after ten years, I won’t be able to catch up with the toes of Bugild Blind.”
“haha. Do you really think so?”
“No. I just threw it out to hear it.”
“You are as honest as ever. Just like when I first met you.”
“Certainly, the atmosphere was not very good for a first blind date.”
I don’t have a very good memory, but I still remember my first meeting with him vividly. And it seemed to be the same for this Jeongryong.
“We started with bad ties. The more I think about it, the more regrettable it is.”
“That’s right. If it had been solved through conversation from the beginning rather than cutting off someone’s arm, I would have been able to start warmly in my own way.”
“Park Ji-hoon, that child made a mistake in his blood. My apologies.”
“Where could that be the disciple’s fault?”
“Heh heh, that’s right. It’s also my fault for not teaching him properly.”
I looked at the back of Lee Jeong-ryong, who was walking ahead. What kind of expression is he making right now as he jumps between buildings with expressive movements?
Lee Jeong-ryong, who was laughing quietly, continued.
“Minwoo. You seem to have gotten very close to that child.”
“We are quite friendly.”
“It looks like he was killed unexpectedly.”
“It pays a lot.”
“It’s a business relationship, I’m glad I heard it. Then can I become friends with you too?”
I laughed and answered.
“About 7 years ago? I ate red bean bread as a snack at the Hunter Training Center, and it was so delicious that I cried.
“Are you full now?”
“I have already earned enough for a few generations to play and eat. My stomach is already full, but what do I do if I try to put it back in? You will explode and die.”
“Wrong. Humans are always hungry animals. No matter how much I squeeze in, I don’t know how to be satisfied. Do you know why?”
“hmm. Are you suffering from bulimia?”
Lee Jeong-ryong spoke in a soft voice.
“It’s because of greed. More money, fame, or reason. They are constantly greedy and longing for it.”
“You mean like the deputy guild leader?”
“yes. like me.”
Lee Jung-ryong laughed out loud. A rather loud laugh echoed through the thick fog, but he seemed completely unconcerned.
“Laughing brings blessings, but in this case, I wonder if monsters will come.”
“There are no monsters around here. Don’t you know that too?”
“Well, I mean, let’s be more careful.”
Hey profit!
A stinky wind blew through his body.
from building to building. After jumping over a distance of twenty meters, we continued running.
I couldn’t feel the monster’s presence, and the buildings I could see were getting smaller and smaller.
“From now on, let’s slow down.”
“It is dark. narrow.”
“Be patient. Can I ask you one more question?”
“Anything.”
“Minwoo, what did that kid say about this operation?”
“I didn’t say anything… …
I looked back and forth between Lee Jeong-ryong and Wu Hei-xing and continued my conversation slowly.
“They told me not to go because it’s dangerous.”
“Exactly?”
“Don’t go with people you don’t trust. It was something like that.”
A smile formed on Lee Jung-ryong’s lips.
“Are you suspicious of me and that friend too?”
“no.”
“then? ，，
“Rather… …
I smiled and continued.
“Rather… … I am sure.”
“assurance?”
“yes.”
I smiled and continued.
“These cubs are more interested in my back than Arc Rich.
Lee Jeong-ryong’s footsteps stopped abruptly.
