episode_0149

At Comrade Secretary General’s request, I put on an Iron Man suit, and with a strong reference to the design of the T-800, there were fierce combat robots behind me. I looked at Comrade Secretary General and the ghouls in Soviet uniforms standing across from me and thought. .

‘If the story from the zombie apocalypse film were to be applied in this world, the weak point of those ghouls would be the head or the heart. It’s hard to understand how people who have already lost their vital response collapse like humans just by having their head exploded and their heart pierced, but since we don’t have enough information, let’s focus on attacking the head and heart for now.’

It would have been nice to be able to raise one hand and fire a repulsor beam as soon as the decision was made, but since this is an Iron Man suit implemented through magic engineering, there is no such function.

Instead, I planned to fire a fireball at the head of the ghoul that was trying to approach me, flopping from side to side through the magic circle immediately formed in my palm without chanting.

“Is that your means of attack?”

“Yes. However, this attack will not be directed at Comrade Secretary General, so please rest assured.”

“I don’t plan on attacking you all at once, so you can just ignore the ghouls and attack me right away?”

“Hmm. Still, shouldn’t we find out just how powerful the ghouls under Comrade Secretary General’s command are? It is not too late to postpone directly attacking Comrade Secretary General until later.”

I answered Comrade Secretary General’s question and immediately fired the aimed fireball towards the ghoul.

Puhwaaak-!

Unfortunately, the ghoul selected as the attack target exploded as soon as the fireball I fired made contact with his face, and he fell to the ground with blood spraying everywhere.

The sight of a headless corpse collapsing, painting the air with dark red paint was an inappropriate and extremely grotesque scene for me as a pregnant woman. It’s still too early to be surprised.

A ghoul who had lost his head and fell to the floor, thought to have left the battle, stood up, dusted himself off as if nothing had happened, and with his monstrous recovery ability, he instantly restored the head he had lost for a moment!

‘As expected… that can’t be the end. But I think he said he learned necromancy through Romanov’s grimoire that he happened to pick up during the civil war. ‘Did the Romanovs not win the civil war even though they had this much power?’

The power to create a corpse that quickly rises even after losing the entire head, which is the vital part of almost all living species on Earth.

There is no doubt that it is an enormous power, but it does not bring the dead back to life, but rather forces them to stand up with the skin on their entire body rotting so horribly that it is as if they were infected with the Black Death. As a Romanov who claims to be a descendant of the Eastern Roman Empire, it is impossible. You may not have thought of using it.

It makes no sense for people who believe in God to rely on such an evil power, no matter how urgent they are because of the civil war.

Perhaps, for the reasons mentioned above, they buried it in a deep secret warehouse and forgot about it, without knowing that it ended up in the hands of Comrade Secretary General.

Anyway, Comrade Secretary General, who blocked my attack once, tried to make the person who fell victim to the fireball attack back.

“Hmm. Is it my turn this time? I thought that just because I had been to the moon, I would be able to achieve enlightenment that cannot be achieved by competing with other scientists or magicians, but if it ends like this, it will be difficult. Hurry up and show your true feelings!”

At the same time as Comrade Secretary’s shout, the ghoul let out a scream and approached the robot standing right behind me at a speed so fast that it was hard to believe that it had been sobbing a moment ago, so fast that a sonic boom occurred.

“Kwaaaa!”

Even though I was watching the ghoul’s movements without missing even a moment with the help of the suit (if I had only relied on body vision, I would have missed the ghoul’s movements in vain), I deliberately did not give any instructions to the robot to gauge the ghoul’s fighting power. Access was allowed without it.

Thanks to Comrade Secretary General’s instructions and my presence, Guuu succeeded in approaching the robot’s chest with its fingernails as soon as it clung to it, contrary to its frail appearance that seemed incapable of biting even a wild beast made of leather, let alone a combat robot made of titanium alloy. succeeded in tearing off the armor plate.

Suddenly-! Kagagagak-!

Since this was within the expected range, I was able to avoid making a shocked expression.

With this, I can confidently say that I have glimpsed at least a glimpse of the resilience and combat power of Comrade Secretary General’s Ghoul. I ordered a counterattack before the robot, which was being dismantled and dismantled in real time by the Ghoul, completely stopped working, and other robots also took an attack stance. switched.

“All-out war…! It’s an all-out war!”

Then, Comrade Secretary General, who had earlier told me to show my sincerity, smiled in satisfaction and sent the ghouls waiting behind him forward.

“Then let me start too.”

Thus, the robots and ghouls who faced each other were unable to gain absolute advantage over each other and entered the Middle Ages.

As long as the ghoul does not sublimate the entire body in an instant, the ghoul recovers from any wound with an unscientific level of recovery, and the robot uses nanorobots built into the robot to repair damage and malfunctions of parts in real time. This was because they continued their counterattack against the ghouls.

If resilience had been equal, the robot army, capable of 3D maneuvering through boosters and capable of long-distance attacks, would have surpassed human limitations, but it would have been possible to somehow win against the ghouls based on human flesh. .

In order to prevent the ghouls from giving the robots time to open the gap and launch long-distance attacks, they flocked in relentlessly and started tearing at the armor plates and circuits, resulting in a plus-minus-zero state.

In the end, it resulted in the shocking result that my robot army was unable to take advantage of its three-dimensional mobility and long-distance attacks, and was unable to suppress the ghouls, who could only use close-range attacks, and continued to fight on equal footing.

‘…No. I think it’s a bit inappropriate to use the expression equal when you can’t shake off the ghoul and allow it to approach you. Thanks to the nano robots, we are able to endure the repairs, but this fight. ‘Maybe we should see it as the ghouls’ dominance.’

Of course, even if they were unable to open the gap and fought at close range, the robots made of titanium alloy were able to fight to some extent by tearing the ghouls’ skin and crushing their bones.

The situation in which robots that can freely fly in the air fight against ghouls that have limited jumping power is itself absurd.

To overcome this situation, you need firepower that can overwhelm the opponent’s resilience.

Although it is said to be large enough to fly, it is ultimately impossible to escape the limitations of an enclosed space. If such firepower were to be mobilized in this place, there was a risk of everyone getting buried together, so the fight continued without knowing the end as each side implicitly refrained from using special moves. .

The first day’s fight did not end with either side winning or losing, and ended ambiguously around evening, based on the logic that Mt. Geumgang was also a beautiful sight after dinner.

Although there was no winner or loser (you could say it was a victory over the hunger that inevitably comes with every meal as long as you are tied to an organic body), it could still be said that it was a fight that achieved the desired results for all participants.

‘Until now, I couldn’t even think of asking for advice because I was afraid of being discovered by others, but thanks to this, I was able to understand how powerful this power called necromancy is.’

‘Phew~ I never thought that there would be such an outstanding necromancer in the Soviet Union, let alone in any other country. I almost opened up the Eastern Front without knowing this and ended up in hell. ‘I am very fortunate to have responded to Comrade Secretary General’s request for a sparring match.’

Afterwards, Comrade Secretary General and I continued to engage in sparring and technical exchanges over several weeks, accumulating experience and knowledge.

In the unlikely event that Wehrmacht soldiers were to fight a legion of Soviet ghouls powerful enough to rip off the robot’s armor and damage its internal components, I would build stronger armor and a power unit to lessen the burden on the wearer. I was able to envision it.

Comrade Secretary General went beyond ghouls the size of an ordinary adult man to create and control a ghoul golem so large that it could tear down a tank.

In some ways, it could be seen as giving strength to future enemies, but I tried to ignore this fact, imagining the exhilarating sight of ghouls who cannot disobey the instructions of Comrade Secretary General attacking Africa, the Middle East, and India, the territories of Western imperialist countries. did.
