EP.399
What on earth are these bastards?
What were you looking for that caused you to hit the barrier as soon as you crossed the gate? The enemy’s strength is clearly inferior to ours.
It’s just that they brought in monsters called Mr. Sleep and are trying to unleash the monsters to cause damage to civilians, so they can’t focus entirely on the fight and can’t overwhelm them.
For those bastards, you even deal with the gate and set up the barrier?
“Huh! If I had prepared for the battle properly, I would have been in less trouble…! Anyway, Kim Geun-cheol! Let’s save the person in front of us first!”
ㅡKwaak!
Leona grabbed the injured woman with her hand around her neck and started running. I also followed Leona while escorting her.
“Leona. I’m not sure, but there’s a defensive force field.”
“They don’t look like they have that much skill!”
“therefore.”
Infer purpose.
A raid operation in the city center using a gate.
It is a combination of several villains and many artificial monsters. Why did you carry out such a plan with this?
To spread a monster-making virus? no. That probably isn’t it. In the first place, this thing was too loud. It would be more effective to do it secretly.
In that case, anything related to monsters is simply a trick or a secondary purpose. Or maybe there is another purpose… If you take this away, the main purpose remains.
Colossus.
These bastards talked about that. They’re probably fanatics who worship something like that. Of course, it is unlikely that Colossus will directly control religion, and it can be said that someone using it is giving orders. Besides me and the Void Princess, there are other assholes who know about such a thing.
So what is that bastard’s purpose?
What purpose is there to carry out an open terrorist attack on the Republic of Korea?
“They keep following us. We are completely targeted. But in terms of speed, ours is superior.”
“So, hmm?”
for a moment.
“yes?”
“no.”
Target?
It was so natural for a villain to harm a hero that I didn’t even think about it for a moment. Could it be that we are what those bastards are after?
Because Leona is the daughter of a noble family?
If not, no way.
“…!”
Are these guys really targeting me?!
Where and how did I become a target?
I was surprised for a moment, but it is not confirmed. Only Shihu or Void Princess knows my identity. There is no need to think deeply. The only thing that matters now is resolving this situation.
“Leona. That force field. Can you destroy it?”
“We’ll have to test it. But I think it’s possible. It seems difficult to break this force field from the outside.”
“That’s right. They should have broken it in a long time ago… Ah. So, they are strong against shock from the outside, but their internal defense is weak?”
“You can guess that! First, run to the end of the barrier!”
-Sureuk.
As I run with Leona, the barrier begins to darken. It was originally transparent so you could see outside, but as the color darkened, it felt like you were trapped inside a cooking lid.
“Let’s move quickly! We stopped the bleeding, but the nape of the neck is a vital point! If you don’t treat it quickly, you will lose your life!”
That is correct.
ㅡTadadat!
Walk between buildings while escorting Leona.
But what is the alternative range of the barrier?
Isn’t it a bit wide?
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaahhh!”
“Huh huh?!”
Screams erupt from all directions.
“Fuck!”
It’s all the screams of civilians. Everyone has their wits about them, so when a crisis occurs, they may be holding a sit-in protest indoors, but no passers-by can be seen, but from what I hear, it seems like they are fighting with monsters inside the building.
-Tang!
-Tang!
-Too doo doo!
When I saw that I could even hear a gunshot, I said everything.
Now civilians are fighting hard with guns for self-defense.
Just waiting for the heroes to rescue us.
“Leona! Civilian damage…!”
“Hold on tight mentally, Kim Geun-cheol!”
“yes!”
okay!
You have to get your mentality together!
“Ngh, I’m really glad to see this damn thing! Anyway, we can’t save everyone right now! Hey!”
“okay!”
A masked villain came out from the direction where Leona signaled, accompanied by a group of sleepyheads.
“It’s over there! Eliminate the target!”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The magazine is already empty, but my main weapon is not a gun, but a knife, you bastards!
ㅡKwaang!
He kicked the ground and launched himself towards the villain.
“Get lost!”
“Huh?!”
Strike down the knife. The guy couldn’t respond. I just throw up my arms in embarrassment. The skill itself is pathetic.
But the moment the fallen blade touched the guy’s forearm.
-Pachijik!
“Anit!”
A thunderbolt came from my forearm and deflected my sword strike! Was this guy also a lightning-type ability like the guy who looked like the leader?
-Pow!
But that’s it. Thanks to the lightning shield, I avoided being torn apart, but both my forearms exploded from the impact.
“Aaaahhh!”
Thanks to the electricity, the blood didn’t splatter. The moment I was about to cut off his head with a follow-up blow, a group of Samjas attacked me.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“go away!”
It’s no use, you bastards.
These bastards may be thugs when dealing with civilians, but they are no match for heroes with weapons.
ㅡKwaak!
I grabbed the forearm of the guy that was clinging to my body and forcibly pulled it away.
ㅡQuad!
After trampling and exploding, it spins and swings its sword.
ㅡDeng Geng!
Then, the monsters that were trying to attack me were cut off and their upper bodies fell to the ground. Clap. Internal organs, which were not much different from humans, fell out along with red blood, but now is not the time to look at that.
“Khaak…!”
A villain who lost both arms struggles and tries to run away.
You can’t miss out on the loot… How dare you get out alive when you attack the subject?
“You bastard! Die!”
“Aaaahhh!”
He struck down his sword and finished off the villain.
“Whew!”
“Kim Geun-cheol! Well done!”
“Leona!”
As you can see, Leona has also annihilated the Samzas who attacked her. I joined right away and ran.
“It’s an insignificant attack! Kim Geun-cheol! Let’s break the shield first and then rescue the civilians with reinforcements! It’s faster that way!”
“I will!”
Leona was very calm even in this situation. There are screams coming from all directions. If we tried to cover it up with just the two of us, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.
For now, we’re just focusing on destroying the shield.
“Give it to me!”
“Is it a shift!”
-Woe!
He grabs the unconscious woman and runs.
Because I’m running like that.
“Fuck you!”
Bullet!
The moment I put on the shield, a bullet hits my back shoulder.
ㅡTaang!
I didn’t feel any serious pain. I can take this much. I immediately speed up, covering the woman with my body.
“Oh, Kim Geun-cheol…! Use the gun now! Are you okay?!”
“Oh! Bullets are no problem! I have that! Under Armor!”
Very helpful!
“Ugh…! How dare you shoot at Kim Geun-cheol! You bastards!”
Leona screamed in anger, but it was okay. With a bullet like this, you can take it a few more times.
“I’m sorry! I’d like to take care of your wounds right away, but the situation is too extreme!”
“See you when it’s all over!”
“is it so!”
Anyway, I’m running like that.
“There it is!”
We reached the edge of the barrier. After immediately dropping the woman off at an appropriate location, I exchanged glances with Leona.
“Let’s go! Destroy it!”
“Kaaaa!”
Release sword energy while shouting. At the same time, he wields the power of his blood and thrusts his sword towards the barrier!
“Kimgeunchaaaaam!”
“Leona blast!”
ㅡQuaaaang!
My sword and Leona’s swords plunged into the barrier together. This is Kim Geun-cham, who did his best. The barrier created by those villains… But.
“Anit!”
The barrier is intact!
“Oh my…! What is this? It doesn’t even cause any damage!”
Leona, shocked, opens her eyes wide.
“Leona! Again!”
“No, wait a minute! This isn’t normal power…!”
“What is that?”
“I feel it! Some other force!”
Other powers?
“Are you saying it’s a force field made of a force other than magic?”
“I think it’s similar! But let’s try it some more!”
“okay!”
again.
ㅡKwaang!
ㅡCow!
Beat the barrier with Leona. But the result is the same. It couldn’t be destroyed! You came this far and the operation failed!
“Holy shit! We’ve come all the way here and there’s no way to escape?”
My molars suddenly start to bite.
If we delay here, the damage will be greater.
We have to accept that with both eyes open…!
“What are you assuming?”
At that moment, Leona clasped my hand.
“Leona?”
And just like the last time we were educating looters.
He says while massaging my hand.
“Don’t give up hope. You were supposed to eat pork cutlet today, right? You’ll get through it just fine.”
This is a truly hopeful voice.
His usual calm and somewhat cynical appearance. A voice that is truly different from the cold one. That voice awakens my spirit.
“Hehehehe. That’s right. This is no big deal.”
“If you want to eat pork cutlet, you have to work hard. Anyway. Now that we know it won’t work, we’re changing the strategy. Let’s move the location.”
“What should we do next? Let’s decide and get moving.”
“Hmm… I think we can hide this woman somewhere, hide ourselves in a building, and move around quietly to assassinate monsters and villains. And rescue civilians.”
“It’s a cool summary!”
“Then move!”
Move after reorganizing the strategy on the spot.
ㅡQuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
ㅡTa-da-da-dang!
The sounds of battle can be heard everywhere. Civilians stuck at home must be desperately resisting with guns in hand.
Some of them are probably already dead.
-Paaah!
So I entered the appropriate building with Leona. I broke down the door and entered, but luckily it was an empty house.
“As expected… it’s not in good condition.”
Leona, who laid down the unconscious woman, said worriedly.
“If we just go out, something will work out. Then, Leona, let’s go to the rooftop. Let’s do some detection and then move.”
“Yes. I do.”
I immediately went up to the rooftop with Leona.
“No, I was drying peppers!”
But perhaps because it was my grandmother’s house, there were peppers scattered all over the blue cloth!
“Leona! Let’s chew each one first!”
“Assarabi!”
Leona picks up a pepper and eats it, then lifts the Gabacheon and spreads it out on the crock pot and sets it. So we hid behind it and monitored the surroundings while maintaining adequate cover.
however.
“…ah.”
Beyond.
In the middle of this cage, trapped in a dome-shaped barrier.
ㅡJi-ing!
More gates began to appear.
“Geudeudeudeudeuk!”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
Gregor Samsa begins to crawl out from the gate. Not only that. Fighter. Among the fighter monsters that attacked last time, even those classified as low-rank crawl out.
E-rank monster Dacontira.
F-rank monster Geralian.
It is an overwhelming sight.
There are too many.
More than that, those bastards were in the same company as those monsters.
“…life saving.”
At that moment, a low voice was heard.
A somewhat familiar tone.
“Maybe not.”
For some reason, Leona’s expression looked so familiar as she said that.
“No way.”
I couldn’t possibly watch it.
“You already saved one person. Let’s try to save more, Leona.”
“…ah.”
So this time, I held Leona’s hand. In that state, knead it.
“A soothing angel massage.”
“No, what are you talking about? Ugh, okay. That’s what you should do. Then, try moving.”
“Let’s do that.”
I’m sure you can get through it.
