66 199 Chapter 565
After Magic Johnson left, I left a message for Team Manager Choi, who had not responded, and went straight to the private office on the top floor of the Guild House.
Hearing the door slam shut behind him, he slumped to the floor.
A space of about 100 pyeong with only a small desk and one chair.
At the place where it was written as an office and read as a gymnasium, I immediately took out my smartphone and inserted the chip.
Click.
There was no function that the latest smartphone that I changed a while ago did not have.
One of them was the hologram image playback function, which began to become common more than ten years ago.
Jiying.
Along with a slight noise, light flows from the player installed in the smartphone.
I quickly drew the closed curtains with the technique of subjugating the void and focused on the hologram images that began to fill the dark office.
Chijik. Jijik.
noise.
Perbung, Kwaaaang!
roar.
Zuririririk!
and the cries of monsters.
Aww!
human scream.
All of them are mixed and scattered in front of my eyes. The place, lined with large and small tents and buildings, had suddenly turned into a brutal battlefield.
‘The mutation gate.’ When those five letters naturally passed through my head.
In the name of Allah!
Wow!
A group of men in military caps and turbans advance with angry shouts.
Presumably of Arab descent, their entire bodies were soaked in someone’s red blood.
Among them, there were even children who looked like elementary school students at most.
‘A child… … These people can’t be regular soldiers.
It was a fact that I guessed from seeing the disorganized and jumbled clothes, but it was clear that they were Arab rebels who stained the Middle East with blood even before the cataclysm began.
and the next moment.
– Whoa! Poetry, God is great!
Along with the child’s cry of fear, the countless firearms in each hand spewed fire.
Tattang! Dada da da da da da da!
Shuwook, Puong The firepower that would have turned into a beehive if it was an ordinary human is poured out at once. However, the enemies they faced were neither ordinary nor human.
Wow!
At the same time as the explosion, huge flames gushed out.
As the rebels breathed heavily as they watched the black smoke filling the air, the smoke split left and right and flashes of light flashed.
Hiss, hiss!
A single hit was enough. The dark red magic that extended in the form of a crescent moon severed everything it blocked.
neck, back and chest. There were differences in each one, but the result was the same.
death.
Chow ah!
The fountain of blood that came out a beat later dyes the sand red.
The rebels, who witnessed the gruesome end of their twenty-year-old comrades in front of their eyes, widened their eyes.
Hey Masood!
God, but their god did not appear or respond to the voices of the followers.
What appeared on behalf of the god was a monster covered in green blood armor.
Chirr Chiriric.
A triangular head and two vibrating antennae. The identity of the monster with front legs bent like a scythe was a praying mantis.
It was huge enough to look down on an adult man, and its body, imbued with strong magical powers, was unblemished by the previous firepower of the rebels.
– Now, Giant Mantis (Giant Mantis) The moment someone muttered like a groan, the huge foreleg lowered the air once again.
Huung, the rebel’s body, which had been frozen in a daze, splits into left and right parts. The magical energy carried on the forelimbs flew like an arrow and tore through the air.
Awesome! Awesome! Wow!
human. weapon. Even the hurriedly dispatched tank could not block the magic.
Explosions and screams resounded in succession to the attack that cut and slashed in all directions, and the Giant Mantis, which had suddenly increased to five, jumped toward the humans.
Chi-chi-chi-chi!
Cheeri!
Perseok! Chow!
Every time a strange cry came out, the limbs of about a hundred rebels were blown off and blood splattered.
Those who cried out to God and those who ran away in fear collapsed in the desert and never got up again.
– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The scythe-like forelimbs sliced through the back and shattered the breastbone.
Giant Mantis, who finally struck a blow in the back of the rebel who was resisting, suddenly turned around.
The red eyes protruding from the side of the face stare straight at the screen.
‘I found a camera.’ He looked at the camera, and I looked at him.
And the moment when Giant Mantis, who felt strange, cautiously approached the camera.
May the fire of God descend upon this place. Fire Rain!
Anger someone’s angry cry. At the same time, dozens of fireballs formed from mana rained down like meteors over the shoulders of Giant Mantis.
Chiririririt!
The Giant Mantis, who vomited a gasp, swung his forepaw at the fireball.
Kwak!
With the crash, the screen, no, the whole area is dyed red. Dozens of hunters appeared from afar and ran across the battlefield through the exploding fireballs.
Allahu Akbar!
God is great! Kill all those demons!
Kreuk, Chwiit!
humans and monsters. monsters and humans.
The two races started a fight to the death again. However, I couldn’t see the outcome of this battle going to the extreme.
Chijik. tooth support. Pod!
It was a truly fleeting moment.
The hologram image that filled the room with extreme noise disappeared as if it had been washed.
“ After” I let out the breath I had been holding in and picked up my smartphone that I had put down for a while.
After checking the list built into the chip, there are more than 20 remaining videos.
‘Sibal, it’s been a while since I received the video last time.’
7 percent increase in horsepower numbers over the previous year.
It might be a figure that some idiots would consider ‘only’.
But, just as chaos erupts when oxygen levels drop by even a few percent, this was proof that things were getting back to shit.
no, maybe… … .
‘It might be the beginning of the second cataclysm.’ And as I checked the remaining videos one after another, the anxiety in my heart gradually began to take on substance.
‘europe. Middle East, West Africa. Southeast Asia… … It’s not some kind of world festival.’ Changes were already taking place all over the world at the same time.
A new gate is created in the green hills of Switzerland, where Patrasche seems to run around chewing gum, and monsters pour out of the lower gates that have been left unattended while the rebels and the regular army fire shells at each other.
In some videos, the defense was thorough, so they succeeded in suppressing them early, but in more than half of the cases, they were able to defeat the monsters only after taking considerable damage.
‘This.’
As I continued to watch the video, I suddenly narrowed my brows.
It was because he noticed that such damage was not simply due to the gate’s lack of defense.
And it wasn’t just realization that came to me at that moment.
ding.
With the subtle noise of the elevator piercing your ears, the two people slowly approach each other.
Recognizing the identities of the uninvited guests, I reached out.
A warm wind blew.
Energy flowed from the palm of my hand as I gently pushed the door open, and familiar faces came into view.
“What should I do when he comes back? “I’m sorry. I was unable to contact you for a while.” I was looking for a latecomer, but I tilted my head.
“Unable to contact? Have you been to the Gate?”
“Um, similar.”
“… … If it’s right, it’s right, or if it’s not, what else is similar?”
“I had a place to stop by with Deacon Kim. It was an important business, so I couldn’t help it.”
After answering smoothly, Team Manager Choi stepped inside. Deacon Kim, who came in naturally, closed the door and gave a light greeting.
‘It’s been a while since that man.’ It was an important business with Deacon Kim, who didn’t even show his face in the guild. What is it?
With the face I see in about a week, a question remains, but now more urgent work awaits.
Team leader Choi, who couldn’t be unaware of the fact, spoke first.
“I’ll put this story aside, but first I’ll have to check the information that Mr. Johnson gave me.” “Ah, here.” Once again, the hologram video came out and how much time had passed.
The expressions of the two people who checked all the videos and attached materials were hardened.
“A 7% increase in global horse power?”
A voice that was always soft broke out. Butler Kim muttered something like a moan and turned his head toward Team Leader Choi.
“young master.”
“yes. Progress is faster than you might have guessed. The situation is serious.”
At 7 percent, it’s more appropriate to call it a surge, not a rise.
And this rapid change in horsepower was especially noticeable in the video.
“The monsters… … I nodded and accepted Team Manager Choi’s words.
yes. It’s been damn tough.”
An increase in magic power means that the monster’s power is getting stronger.
This is a fact that can be seen from the fact that Giant Mantis manages to fight even after being hit by a fire lane in the first video.
‘It’s like Chikorita tanning with Charizard flames.’ Obviously, there is a thing called compatibility, but the monsters that became stronger along with the increased magic power were ignoring that compatibility little by little.
Since this is a dog-like situation, the place that used the minimum amount of precious manpower called Hunters in case of emergency has no choice but to collapse helplessly. To summarize the current situation in one word… … .
“I got F*cked. It’s five minutes before the opening.”
It’s the crazy pace of progress. If this continues, monsters may appear in the weather forecast by the end of this year.
The beautiful weather caster noona points out a map of the Korean Peninsula that is only snotty, and tells you item by item.
– Tomorrow in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, goblins will fall instead of heavy snowfall. It will pile up to a height of 20m, so residents take shields and antidotes and evacuate quickly.
Shibeol and heavy snow are also annoying, but is it a real story about a bomber?
Just thinking about monsters falling from the sky makes my heart small.
Of course, I won’t be playing while sucking my fingers until then. It is necessary to stop the islanding of the Republic of Korea at all costs.
‘I had this in mind just in case… … The current progress is definitely too fast.’ He thought he had a bit of time to spare, but that was when his heart became heavy at the thought that he had to move forward with ‘that job’ that he had been planning little by little since Moorim.
“At this rate, I can’t hide it any longer.”
Team leader Choi, who turned off the hologram video, continued with a subdued voice.
“The limits of national cover-up have already passed. If it is known later here, it will only add to the confusion.”
This incident is not a wave that passes once, but a tsunami that may wipe out the city.
I sighed and opened my mouth.
“What do you plan to do, Chief Choi?”
“Right now, gate defense is our top priority. We have to build a breakwater before the tsunami strikes.”
“Do you strengthen the gate defense?”
“If that happens, the raid manpower will decrease, and we won’t be able to properly utilize all the gates our Peace Guild has. But I know what comes first.”
“That’s good.”
As I listened, I burst into laughter at the welcome sound.
Certainly, Team Manager Choi upholds the right. Despite having great ambitions to take over the Ares guild, he is someone who knows when to step forward and when to stand up.
‘That’s the biggest difference between me and Lee Blue Dragon. I opened my mouth again.
“Then you should pay attention to the gate first. Unfortunately, the Ares guild is a bit backwards… …
“Jin Tae-kyung.”
,,yes? ，， Before I knew it, Team Leader Choi’s transparent eyes were staring straight at me.
“I said that I would make the gate defense my top priority, but I never said I would put off things related to the Ares guild.”
M what?
The moment I opened my eyes wide without realizing it, Team Leader Choi’s voice continued.
“Did I tell you? There was something important to see earlier.”
■Second, that important business… … ?”
“He is a key figure in the Ares guild. He was a war hero who helped my grandfather in the past to put an end to a cataclysm, was once Lee Jeong-ryong’s most trusted friend, and now he is the head of the largest internal faction that threatens Seok-jun Seok-jun.”
A voice that was softer than ever, but hid the thorns, pierced my ears.
“Everything collapses from the inside out.”
