    The cries and screams of believers pierce like thorns in my ears.

    Kkkk!

    The roar of zombies rings out as if they are engulfing the Daehan branch where beautiful hymns were playing.

    Yoon Ah-young held onto the hem of the robe that had been gifted to her by the religious leader and looked around.

    The square was already drenched in rotten blood.

    The corpses of Frogs piled up everywhere and the believers jumping over the corpses.

    “Be patient, brother!”

    “Press—! You need to press harder!”

    “Kkieeeek―!”

    More believers who were oppressing the believer were forcibly pouring zombie cure into the mouth of the believer who was turning into a zombie.

    “Ayoungah.”

    A voice that can be heard clearly even in the turbid and urgent chaos.

    Big, trembling eyes hurriedly looked to the side.

    There, Shim So-young, whose entire body was covered in blood, was breathing lightly.

    “… … Sister.”

    “Let’s go inside. The situation is a bit strange.”

    I tried to speak as plainly as possible, but a strong breath slowly seeped in between the words.

    Shim So-young pointed to the Daehan branch located behind the square with an urgent look.

    “… … .”

    However, Yoon Ah-young did not respond to Shim So-young’s glance.

    Just like before, I looked at the city engulfed in a zombie wave with trembling eyes.

    “I can’t afford to listen to your stubbornness anymore! No matter how much you think about it, this isn’t the usual zombie wave that happened before!”

    As if urging Yoon Ah-young, Shim So-young’s urgent hand shook her shoulder.

    Shim So-young’s hand, soaked in rotten blood, touched the shoulder of the precious dress she had received from the religious leader.

    However, it is a sacred object that maintains its pure white color, proving that it is an unusual object.

    “… … You got your hands dirty, sister.”

    Yoon Ah-young carefully held Shim So-young’s hand, not her dress.

    The red blood soaking her to the point where her body, which used to glow pink, looked red-blooded.

    Shim So-young weakly grabbed Yoon A-young’s hand and shouted as if she was frustrated.

    “That’s not a problem now, Ayoung-!”

    “That’s right, sister.”

    A quiet voice that briefly suppresses the burning Shim So-young.

    Yoon Ah-young whispered as she held Shim So-young’s hand as if wiping her blood-stained hand.

    “Everyone is listening.”

    “… … .”

    Shim So-young’s head quickly swings around at Yoon A-young’s expression.

    The Holy Knights who guarded the saint and all the believers who had taken refuge in the square were listening to the conversation between her and Yoon A-young.

    “The leader said that. They say you shouldn’t make a happy expression when you’re happy, a sad expression when you’re sad, but you shouldn’t make a scary expression when you’re scared.”

    “If you are scared, everyone who sees you will be scared.”

    Kkkk!

    The howling of zombies pierces Yoon Ah-young’s soft voice like an awl.

    Shim So-young held onto Yoon A-young’s arm a little tighter and cried out.

    “What that cult leader ordered me to do was to protect you.”

    “He told me to protect Korea.”

    They even cheered me on and told me I would do better than anyone else.

    The line of the eyes is so perfect that it doesn’t match the atmosphere.

    However, Soyoung Shim felt the touch of a hand grasping her with a pitiful expression.

    Countless vibrations that we try to hide but can never hide.

    Oh my, why did he carry such a heavy burden on such a delicate child-

    Where on earth did you go after leaving such a heavy burden behind?

    Shim So-young desperately stares at the sky as if looking for someone.

    Shim So-young, who was looking into empty space where no light was visible, gazed at Yoon A-young once again.

    “Just because you’re out like this doesn’t mean Daehan will be better protected.”

    “No. They said that just knowing that the leader is together like this helps boost morale. It clearly said so in the book.”

    “… … Haha.”

    A sigh that comes out naturally at the embarrassment of the situation.

    Shim So-young let go of her hand and touched her forehead, closing her eyes.

    “How was the evacuation? Is it going well?”

    “… … .”

    Soyoung Shim did not answer her question but nodded briefly.

    “I’m glad. If you think about it, the situation is similar to when the cult leader brought disaster to Korea. At that time, Daehan suffered losses by forcefully protecting the entire territory, but we can hold out for a long time in this small area.”

    “… … .”

    Shim So-young kissed her lips several times before finally biting them.

    different.

    There is nothing like what Yoon Ah-young expected.

    Her goal was to hold out until the cult leader arrived, but things were going very strangely.

    The zombie wave started with the declaration of war by a suspicious man who appeared on TV.

    It was perhaps natural that Soyoung Shim’s top priority was that man.

    It was not the man who welcomed Shim So-young, who left the zombie wave to the Paladins and went out to deal with the man.

    What greets her is only an endless wave of zombies.

    A man who does not appear and zombies who do not decrease even after creating a mess there for a long time.

    I tried to lure them in with the next best solution, but that didn’t work either.

    Zombies and mutants just quietly watch themselves moving away.

    They were just surrounding Daehan as if they were maintaining their ranks.

    A wave of corpses that did not hit Daehan all at once, but soaked Daehan like an ebb and flow, then receding again.

    The endless sea, the grotesquely organized army of corpses-

    They were making fun of Daehan.

    no-

    Shim So-young, who was always hunting zombies and Tess, immediately realized their intention.

    They were hunting us.

    Perhaps what we should do now is not to protect Korea, but –

    It could have been somehow escaping to a safe place with Yoon Ah-young.

    Shim So-young’s slightly trembling pupils saw the two protective shields beyond the Korean Peninsula.

    The ‘Heavenly Shield’ that protects paradise and the yellow shield that protects the Republic of Korea.

    “I’m jealous.”

    Yoon Ah-young’s whisper followed Sim So-young’s gaze.

    She smiled bitterly as she looked at the yellow curtain that protected Minguk.

    “… … Are you really the head of the Minguk branch?”

    “… … .”

    However, Shim So-young could not tell the uncertain family with those sad eyes.

    I couldn’t tell a child who was trying so desperately to conform to the religious leader’s beliefs to abandon those beliefs.

    at last-

    The cause of all this was the religious leader who did not come.

    “… … Bastard.”

    Crackle!

    A fist clenched with a bloody sound.

    “It is very rude to say something like that to Branch Manager Minguk.”

    “… … That’s not what I said to that woman. That’s what I said to the religious leader.”

    “Then it’s even more impossible. I will tell my brother that my sister said something profane in front of others.”

    “… … Then I will also tell you that you called me my brother and not the leader.”

    “Ah—!”

    Yoon Ah-young covered her mouth with both hands as if she was surprised by Shim So-young’s counterattack.

    “Then—”

    A warm smile lingers on Yoon Ah-young’s mouth as she slowly lowers her hand covering her mouth.

    “When your brother comes, do you want to make a bet to see who gets there first?”

    At that smile, Soyoung Shim eventually lowered her head and let out a small smile.

    “… … Yes.”

    okay.

    Since when did I have such complicated thoughts?

    The leader of the cult knows the situation that I know, the smart vice-principal knows it, and at least the head of the Minguk branch knows it.

    Just like she always did.

    “Then.”

    All you need to do is destroy the enemy in front of you.

    Anyway, Han Gu-won, who came down with light bulbs all over his body, will take care of the end.

    Gaaa!

    The clanking sound of armor and the screams of believers were heard in the ears of Shim So-young, who was nodding her head.

    “Still, it’s dangerous to come out more. Just stay right here and don’t move.”

    Shim So-young pulled her thighs behind Yoon A-young, who nodded.

    Kiiing—!

    The pink color pulsating all over her body and the cracked road surface.

    Fuuu!

    As if a cannon ball was fired, it bombarded the center of the zombie wave that had begun again.

    The white old trees look at Shim So-young rushing in front, tearing at the wind.

    White armor with flowing curves and a shield in his left hand.

    The paladins, holding maces in their right hands already filled with rotten flesh and blood, stared at the wave of corpses that were gradually approaching calmly, as if they were rooted to the ground.

    Even when the pink afterimage passed them by –

    “Quickly! Come quickly, Jiyeon-!”

    Even when a female believer who passed them with a heart-bursting red face hurriedly gestured.

    Kkkk!

    Now, their roar echoes in my ears to the point where I’m sick of it.

    The Daehan believers desperately ran towards the Holy Knights, looking at the roar with fear.

    Kwaaang! Kwaaang!

    Bursting noises continued to explode in the middle of the zombie wave and rotten blood flew in all directions.

    “Quickly! Hurry! ”

    The young child who was responding to the female believer’s tearful shout falls to the floor.

    “Aaaagh―!”

    The female disciple who saw this hurriedly runs towards her daughter.

    Even if you trip and fall ugly on the ground, even if your fingernails break as you hurriedly dig at the ground.

    In the end, the goddess quickly stands up bravely and grabs her daughter who is running toward her.

    “Please― Please― Please― Please―”

    The goddess passed by the Holy Knights, holding her daughter tightly.

    My heart automatically beats louder at the sight of that woman’s tear-soaked, fear-soaked face.

    haha-

    The white breath that gradually became thicker around the mouth of the Holy Knights.

    All kinds of miserable voices ring in their ears as they breathe as thickly as the middle of winter.

    The sound of a burst tearing through the air and the sound of something collapsing.

    The screams of believers and the strange noises caused by believers bitten by zombies twisting their bodies.

    A child’s cry and the howling of zombies who seem to react more violently to the cry.

    thud-! thud-! thud-!

    In a turbulent battlefield where you can’t be sure whether it’s the footsteps of a mutant or the sound of your own heart beating –

    “Are you afraid?”

    A question was heard from the vice-captain, who was looking at his brothers.

    Before I knew it, I was holding a mace instead of the rifle the leader had given me-

    Kim Hae-il, who became the vice leader of the Holy Knights and not the boy he was at the time, asked and answered his own questions to his brothers.

    “I am not afraid.”

    Kkkk!

    Despite Shim So-young’s terrible performance, the tide of corpses gradually colors Daehan.

    “I would rather ask my brothers. Why are you afraid?”

    “Are these demons I’ve never seen before?”

    “Did they attack us by surprise when we least expected it?”

    “Nothing else!”

    His roar bursts out at his brothers as if suppressing the roar of zombies.

    Kim Hae-il pointed at the zombies with his mace and shouted.

    “The leader already predicted the devils’ dirty deeds!”

    “He also made arrangements to prepare for that threat!”

    “Answer me, brothers! What is that arrangement!”

    thud-!

    His brothers answer Kim Hae-il’s question with a stamp of their feet.

    The vice-captain shouted while making eye contact with each of the brothers.

    “Who is his sword!”

    thud-! thud-!

    “Then what are you afraid of, and what are you afraid of! Raise the sword of faith—!”

    Kiiing—!

    A pure white light that heats up Kim Hae-il’s whole body.

    As if in response, the mana of all the paladins boiled over.

    White mana that once again brightens the darkness-stained country.

    Kim Hae-il once again held on tightly to his shield and mace and faced the approaching demons.

    “We are His knights! We are His first arrangement!”

    So-

    “We protect His land!”

    Kkkk!

    Frogs are fired at the Paladins like missiles, as if imitating Shim So-young.

    Kim Hae-il covered his upper body with a shield and shouted at the top of his voice as if he were vomiting.

    “We protect His people!”

    Along with the sound of clanking armor, the road leading to the square is blocked by a row of shields.

    Kwaaaang! Kwaaaang!

    The Paladins’ shield shakes with a loud explosion as if it were being bombed.

    Whoa! Whoa whoa!

    The heads of the Frogs that bombarded the Paladins’ shields scattered rotten brains and blood in all directions.

    Kim Hae-il, who silently raised his shield to block the frogs’ suicide attack, took the shield back.

    “Kkieeeek―!”

    Countless corpses of frogs piled up in front of them.

    Among them, the heads of the frogs whose heads were still intact were crushed as if they were being crushed.

    We crush His enemies.

    “kkieeek―!”

    Waves of corpses at close range, unchecked by the Frogs’ preemptive attack.

    The vice-captain shouted louder as if responding to their roar.

    “Let’s go, brothers! Kill all the demons!”

    “Waaa—!”

    With a loud roar, a white meteor collided with the black waves.

    Cooo! Cooo!

    Zombies rolling on the floor as if they were smashing their shields.

    Before they can even get up, a mace hits them, breaking their bones.

    Kwaaang!

    Road surfaces cracked like spiderwebs and potholes filled with craters.

    The ‘Swords of Faith’ overlap with each other to continuously increase the physical abilities of the Paladins.

    Kiiing—!

    The zombies that were attacking the Paladin’s kick fell like dominoes.

    Cooo!

    The Paladin was the first among them to slam his shield on the head of the zombie lying on the ground.

    Keekeeek!

    Then, he gently trampled on their gap and slashed his mace down on the bone of the zombie that was running towards him.

    Brain fluid scattering everywhere with the sound of a head exploding.

    Keekeeek!

    Zombies rush in more rapidly, as if they are enraged by the death of a colleague.

    However, the straight white line drawn by the Holy Knights did not allow zombies to invade.

    “Crraaa—!”

    And the Irregular zombies appear to break that line.

    Sooo!

    Something struck the ear of Kim Hae-il, who was destroying the zombies with a bloody sound.

    Kim Hae-il urgently stared straight ahead and quickly raised his shield.

    Cuuu!

    The shock that shook my well-prepared body and the falling stone dust.

    “Crrrraaaa—!”

    Steroid roared and pulled back his large fist, as if he was annoyed at having defended his throw.

    The guy’s muscles were pulsating strangely, as if he was about to strike empty space with all his might.

    That moment. The white zombie that was sitting calmly on Steroid’s shoulder raised its hand.

    “… … Keuuu!”

    As soon as he opened his hand, the brother who was crushing zombies at the forefront lost his balance and floated in the air.

    A brother who flies away on his own, as if being sucked into the air by steroids.

    “… … Ah!”

    That variant is the strange one the leader was talking about!

    Kiiing—!

    The manifestation of thought and mana occurs simultaneously.

    In an instant, he roared with the mana he had poured into his stepping stones and aimed his fist at the brothers precisely.

    Knock knock!

    A red comet caught the eye of Kim Hae-il, who was pulling his thighs while crossing the road.

    Kim Hae-il, who caught the comet in his eyes, quickly transferred his mana to his mace and crushed the zombies that stuck to him.

    she is coming

    “Fuck off~!”

    Kwaaa!

    A red trail piercing through steroids with a sharp high note.

    A loud explosion ripped through the air, and sand dust rose up in an instant, sweeping everything around.

    The ground was sharply cracked as if dry land was collapsing, and a deep and wide crater collapsed.

    In the center of the web, Steroid, who had been reduced to a pulp by a single punch, collapsed, losing his head.

    However, Soyoung Shim ignored her trophy and hurriedly looked at the sky.

    One of the prey she had been targeting in the first place was floating gently in the air.

    A variant aimed at Shim So-young with a gentle hand gesture.

    At that moment, a familiar sensation envelopes Soyoung Shim’s feet.

    The soles of the feet do not come off the floor, as if they are stuck to a magnet.

    Sooo!

    As if linked to the mutant’s ability, a rock that seemed to have been thrown by steroids from afar bombarded Sim So-young like a cannonball.

    Kwaaang! Kwaaang!

    The dust that comes naturally from the barrage of shells that hits Soyoung Sim.

    Kwaaang!

    The bizarre collision sound of Sim So-young colliding with a large stone continued.

    The bombing that devastated an entire space in a very short period of time quietly stopped.

    ───────.

    The only space filled with silence in the still chaotic battlefield.

    Byun Byun waved his hand as if clearing away the dust that had already covered the ground.

    Suuu

    In the gently cracking dust-

    “… … .”

    Shim So-young was looking at the sky the same way as the first time.

    Burning eyes that never leave the mutant, as if searching for prey.

    Byun Byun, who made eye contact with her, tilted his head and held out his hand once again.

    Knock knock!

    The pressure on her feet quietly disappeared,

    Before she knew it, thorns made of earth filled her surroundings.

    “… … Ha.”

    Shim So-young finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

    It was the moment when my suspicions turned into certainty.

    “… … What a fake bastard.”

    Kiiing—!

    A drenched red light that re-colors the pink color that surrounds her entire body.

    Shim So-young looked up at her most familiar enemy and smiled crookedly.

    “You’re cocky.”

    A variant that waves its hands as if responding to her words.

    Under Byun Byeon’s command, thorns made of earth tighten all around her tightly.

    Pabababak!

    Thorns quickly getting stuck in the spot where she was.

    However, Shim So-young, who rushed to the side so quickly that it left an afterimage, began to circle around Byun Byeon.

    The mutants twirled in the air together to aim at her, and the thorns quickly gathered together again.

    Shim So-young, who had been calmly measuring the timing, suddenly shook her head.

    Chae-ae-ae-!

    A sharp roar pierced her ears from afar, as if something was shattering.

    widely-!

    She was silently shocked as she quickly took a step back from where she had been digging into the mutant.

    Two protective shields clearly visible even in Korea.

    Among them, the yellow protective shield that surrounded Minguk was breaking down in an instant.
