Chapter 736
Clearly, the beginning was small.
Just a little trembling. Because it was nothing less than that.
But that was just a small harbinger.
The ground shook.
Visitors standing in line in front of the Louvre instinctively bowed down.
The lower classes of the 10th arrondissement of Paris, who had been fighting while grabbing each other by the collar, scattered with swear words.
And the citizens of the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
“iced coffee… …
Forgetting to scream, they looked at the scene unfolding in front of them with dazed eyes.
Goooooong.
Dark red darkness engulfs the tall buildings and rises.
The moment when everyone held their breath in that ominous and enormous energy that they had never experienced before.
Aaaaaang!
The skyscraper (摩天樓), which was once the Paris branch of the Ares Guild, exploded.
The defense magic that was covering the exterior of the building in layers.
Even a sturdy frame designed to withstand missile fire.
It all shattered and exploded.
Large and small debris that were once part of a 50-story building poured down in flames.
Hwareuk, whoa, whoa!
Unbelievable, but at the same time undeniable reality.
In front of countless debris pouring down covering the sky, people suddenly thought.
The day of the end as said in the Bible may be today.
Looking at the bizarrely distorted space that followed, that guess hardened into a hopeless certainty.
Whoaaaaagh!
Although they had never actually witnessed it, people who lived in a more splendid civilization than ever before knew the name of that phenomenon.
“Monster Wave.
Someone’s voice came out like a moan.
However, no one could escape even after seeing countless debris pouring over their heads and monsters walking out from beyond the distorted space.
Even the students of the Sorbonne University who rode bicycles to school.
A young couple strolling in Luxembourg Gardens with a stroller.
Even the police who were busy moving to calm the citizens.
Everyone who was busy moving from their respective positions, the entire 6th Arrondissement of Paris, froze in place with bone-chilling fear and chill.
and the next moment.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
With the rain of fire covering a radius of about 100 meters, the entrance to the gates of hell opened.
thud. cooong.
Thick arms and legs like the pillars of a temple.
Huge monsters with two heads in one body pounded their chests and roared.
— Gwoaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Chachachang!
The glass that could not overcome the waves contained in the roar shattered in all directions.
Fear, which only high-level monsters can radiate, flew like an invisible rope and bound thousands of humans.
— Krrr.
A cry of deep satisfaction.
It was hunting time.
No, it must have been.
Wheein juice, puuong!
At that moment, with a flash of light, the monster in the lead stumbled. Everything on the shoulder was gone.
cooong!
The earth’s axis shook. Before I knew it, the monsters, numbering a hundred, raised their heads as if they had made a promise.
Among thousands of people standing as if nailed to their place, beasts of prey hiding among the flocks reveal themselves.
there was.
With a dazzling flash that even the eye can’t follow.
Wheein juice, suck!
Patter.
Flesh and bones were crushed, and blue blood was sprayed in all directions.
In exchange for one of the two heads, the remaining Twin Head Ogre unknowingly stepped back.
Without knowing what threats await there.
Kwajik!
A huge fist burst through the only remaining head like a watermelon.
A terrifying physical strength and physique that is different from other ogres.
A human figure with golden eyes was clearly reflected in the giant’s large pupils, which had licked the brains of a subordinate attached to his fist.
– Karsh. Marto.
It was a demon language that sounded like a curse.
However, a human with golden eyes, who
Regardless, Gin turned his head and bowed politely to someone behind him.
“This is the named monster, Giant Ogre. What would you like to do?”
The calm voice returned.
“Not bad. This is good enough to show off.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m in charge of him. Put the rest away.”
That was all.
The moment the order was given, Hugin and the hundred hunters became one and crossed the space. Like the storm and lightning painted on their armor.
Like the ancient gods and their symbol, the two letters Odin.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Chow!
feeze. and slaughter.
The limbs, thick like logs, soared into the air, and the dazzling aura cut off the overflowing mana.
It was like a scene from a myth.
Even in a myth where many characters appear, there is always a protagonist who shines alone.
— Kuwoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Puck!
single blow.
The screams that seemed to devour the city disappeared.
Whoops!
The giant ogre, which was tens of meters tall, knelt down.
In front of a human, insignificant compared to the mountain-like body of a monster.
However, in the eyes of those who watched all this spectacle, it did not look insignificant at all.
A hero who protected them from danger. A true giant was there.
Those who came back alive from the threshold of death shouted the names of heroes or heroes with one voice.
“Michael! Michael!”
“Odin Guild!”
In the midst of a huge roar that spread like wildfire, Michael declared with a powerful voice.
“Take it easy. As long as I and the Odin guild protect you, there is no danger.
There will be none.”
Then, looking at the ruins covered with piles of concrete, he added in a voice so low that no one could hear.
“At least for today.”
With a faint smile on his face, he stepped towards the remaining group of monsters.
Ares.
Trampling on the name that had fallen from the building along with countless fragments, losing its luster.
[Declaration of support for Odin Guild and Ares]
[Michael Silbert, head of the Odin Guild, “I applaud Ares for his actions for the public good, and walk in step with them.”]
[Odin Guild, surprise reveal of the new mana practice method!]
[Odin Guild senior official, “A large project that has been prepared for several years. I’m sorry if you think it’s a public opinion conscious public opinion… … ” Dismissed the controversy before release.]
Early moning.
The breaking news that I learned about through Skeleton King was definitely surprising.
The problem was that a new wave came before the surprise was over.
It’s even bigger, and there are terrifying waves.
jing. Jiying.
Choi’s smartphone, which was placed on the table, vibrated.
Seconds later, another breaking news from the holographic TV was hard to believe.
– A monster wave occurred in Paris, France. The place where the incident took place was a high-rise building in the 6th district of Paris, and it turned out to be the Paris branch of the Ares Guild, which shocked me a lot… … .
– Currently, the French government has started a blockade operation in the 6th arrondissement of Paris in accordance with the international emergency decree, and the exact casualties and suppression process are still unknown.
– Current acquaintances testify that the nearby Odin guild headed to the scene of the incident first… … .
News coming out of several TVs installed in the restaurant.
However, among the many words that came out between their lips, of different skin colors and different languages, only three words reached my ears.
monster wave. Ares Guild Paris Branch.
and… … .
Odin.
belt ring.

everything was sudden
System notifications ringing in your ears, and hologram windows floating in the air in front of you.
But the moment I saw and heard all of that, I was already following my instincts.
No, all of us.
“Gather around me. hurry!”
The moment Team Leader Choi let out an urgent cry and tore the Magic Scroll out of his pocket.
Hwaaak!
A dazzling flash of light burst out of nowhere and embraced us.
– If I can’t come to help and need to get somewhere ASAP, make sure to use this. If you know the exact coordinates, you will arrive safely at your destination.
This is the request that Magic Johnson handed over along with the Magic Scroll a few weeks ago, near the end of the Middle East sweep operation.
And the dozens of teleport scrolls he received at that time were being consumed in seconds at this moment.
Jjiik!
The specially treated tough parchment is torn. At the same time, the mana that was dormant within it awakens and spews out brightly.
The entire flash embraces us once again and leaps towards the set coordinates.
Wow!
Flashes of light bursting out without rest.
As I continued to jump over a space of tens or hundreds of kilometers at a distance, at some point my body creaked and my mind began to complain of fatigue.
‘hop.’
Overload caused by space movement magic that appeared in succession.
But nobody stopped. Even Team Leader Choi, who was under the greatest burden among us, felt the same way.
Awesome.
Gripping his teeth, he took out another scroll.
One shot, ignoring the foreign airport hunters who were embarrassed by the unauthorized space movement, and another before the aftereffects were gone.
I tore the scroll over and over again.
Every time a flash of light flashed, the surrounding scenery changed, and people’s skin and language changed.
And when the inexplicable number of flashes faded.
We were finally able to see
The ruins that were once called the Paris branch of the Ares Guild.
The bodies of gigantic monsters strewn everywhere and the tombs made of concrete and iron bars where not even a handful of life could be felt.
At the same time, a sound only I could hear pierced my ears.
Beep.
— You didn’t complete any missions.
— The sudden quest [Darkness Over Paris] has failed.
— Everything always has a reward and a price. A penalty is given for failing a quest.
— Experience is greatly reduced.
— Reputation is drastically reduced.
— The special title [Goddess of War (神手傍觀)] will be applied for the next 30 days.
— All stats decrease by 10% due to the penalty effect of the special title [Standby].
“… … ah.”
I let out a short moan.
Quest Failed?
Huge penalty?
It was nothing like that.
The atmosphere around us that belatedly discovered us and started to hum. The same goes for a group of people crossing the ruins.
My five senses are facing only one of the many hologram windows floating in the air.
– You did not complete any missions.
That was all.
That cold, stiff sentence ran through my eyes and head, and I already knew what it meant.
‘dead. entire.’
