27.Commander.

+++

Han Sarang, completely unaware of the great threat coming towards her from the outside, walked diligently with her unit to retreat.

The basics of the Army is marching!

Although it was inside a dungeon, walking like this was very familiar to her.

Because there weren’t many supplies left, they avoided combat as much as possible, and when they inevitably had to fight, they tried to minimize consumption.

Like that, a day passed.

From the deepest part of the multi-layered dungeon, they came up to a place quite close to the surface.

Just a little further and they could reach the longed-for and beloved military camp.

They could enjoy a vacation with a hefty bonus.

Perhaps because of that, smiles bloomed on their darkened faces, and even Han Sarang smiled faintly.

In fact, Han Sarang was originally unable to participate in this experiment.

There were several reasons, but the most representative was her condition.

The military considered her a PTSD patient, and thanks to her life of eating snacks in her room and being a shut-in for quite a long time, she was also plump and overweight.

There was no way they would put such a person into this experiment, which selected only the elite of the elite.

She, who was burning with a firm will to raise herself up again, was disappointed, but soon started the so-called ‘Normalization Project’ under the belief that she creates everything herself.

But it wasn’t easy…

If it was just about losing weight, she could have done it easily.

However, during the short period until the experiment started, she had to meet all the criteria, such as body fat percentage, as well as losing weight, so it was absolutely impossible with ordinary methods and efforts.

But she finally achieved it.

Her colleague and former subordinate, Eun Yul-ryeong, and Lieutenant Colonel Eun, who could be called almost an archenemy, also helped with this, and in the case of Lieutenant Colonel Eun in particular, she helped with quite a lot, starting from providing an opportunity for revival.

When Han Sarang was exhausted from the grueling training, diet control, and pumping iron, and was about to succumb to easy temptation, Lieutenant Colonel Eun would suddenly appear and provoke her with insults that she couldn’t just ignore, and Han Sarang fell for it, knowing full well. No, she had no choice but to fall for it. Lieutenant Colonel Eun’s provocation, which scratched her pride as much as possible and made her do anything, was truly a divine talent. Han Sarang, who was still young, couldn’t handle it.

Anyway, she succeeded in barely bringing her body back to normal after such bloody efforts.

But there was one more thing to overcome.

It was her rank.

‘Are you crazy?’

This experiment is very dangerous and rough. That’s why only the most elite agents are selected.

But what if a lieutenant colonel, not even a staff sergeant or a lieutenant, but a lieutenant colonel, applies to such a place?

Of course, it doesn’t make sense. Moreover, she is only a lieutenant colonel in rank, but the position she holds is that of a colonel, or even a regimental commander who is appointed with a colonel’s rank insignia.

For a commander who has to command thousands of soldiers to take on this mission of selecting less than a hundred elite agents and entering a dungeon. Unless she has a particularly useful ability for dungeons, it’s absurd.

To make matters worse(?), there was even talk in the military of stamping her rank, who had been active(?) in the Incheon Incident, as a real colonel, and they were considering it quite positively.

Because of this, the military couldn’t accept her request and sent her back several times, but in the end, they were persuaded by what Han Sarang said.

‘I wonder if it would be exemplary for the soldiers who are sweating blood for the country on the front lines if I, who have served and will serve in Dungeon City, know nothing about dungeons. Until now, I have only been sitting in plausible rank insignia and positions, but I didn’t know anything practically. I’m afraid that this situation will continue and I won’t be able to fulfill my duty as a soldier.

If this experiment is successful and related weapons are mass-produced, they will naturally be given to the dungeon unit I command first, and I don’t think this is reasonable either. You know well enough without me having to say it, how embarrassing and miserable it is for a commander who commands the military not to know about the weapons used by the military.

So, please choose one of the two: either dismiss me from the dungeon unit, or let me participate in this experiment.’

It could be said to be somewhat presumptuous, but through this statement, she was able to participate in this experiment.

“I heard you’ll be officially promoted to colonel when you return. Congratulations.”

“…It’s just heavy. A colonel when I haven’t done anything.”

She felt uneasy because she had never made any clear achievements.

But the military’s upper echelons thought that just keeping her in Gangnam, where Yoo-eun, a once-in-a-lifetime troublemaker, was, was having a huge effect, and this coincided with the government’s thinking.

Officially, she and Yoo-eun are not related, but as everyone who needs to know already knows, she is Yoo-eun’s lover.

By keeping the regiment she commands in Gangnam and expanding the scale to divisions in the future, they can partially suppress Yoo-eun’s reckless behavior!

At this time when the Harem Palace is running wild, there was no one as suitable as her as the Gangnam commander.

However, the problem is that there are slowly voices of dissatisfaction due to the too fast and unconventional promotion speed.

There were countless people who were left behind because of her, and especially this special promotion to colonel was quite sensitive.

It’s not easy to go from lieutenant colonel to colonel, but if a girl who is barely in her late 20s, and who has been a lieutenant colonel for less than a year, gets promoted again, wouldn’t it be stranger if they didn’t have any complaints?

“There are many people who are much more suitable to be colonels than me, I don’t know how to face them.”

“Don’t think too deeply about it. Isn’t it because you deserve it that you’re being promoted?”

The soldier constantly chattered, praising Han Sarang like that.

As if trying to get close to her no matter what.

“I don’t know if it’s because of the dungeons that they’ve come to their senses, but these days the military’s upper echelons are making the right decisions, aren’t they? They’re not hostile to the Palace and are cooperating as much as possible, and they’re also seeing various benefits.”

“Well-,”

“That’s because the military’s upper echelons are rotten.”

Someone interrupted Han Sarang’s words.

“To suck up to a mere criminal, a dirty heinous criminal, by calling them a superintendent or an honorary general. This country is all wrong.”

A low voice.

The anger that seemed to be in it.

The soldiers gathered around Han Sarang and tensed up at the sudden appearance.

A man who looked a little over 180 appeared with thumping footsteps.

“…!”

It was a very familiar figure.

Except that his appearance was a little different and he was all white-haired, it was the face she used to see every day.

“….”

He stopped about 10 meters away from Han Sarang.

Long, flowing white hair, a gaunt face. And the murderous intent clearly visible in his eyes.

It was clear that it was impossible for him to stand and face her, as his limbs had all been blown away, but with the help of a general who envied Han Sarang and her father, he was able to equip himself with state-of-the-art prosthetic legs and arms.

He curled up one side of his lips.

“Long time no see, Lieutenant Colonel-nim.”

He lifts his chin slightly and stares at her with a condescending gaze.

As if he could easily handle everyone here.

Han Sarang frowned.

“…How are you standing?”

“Ha….”

Im Hak-bong tilted his head to the other side.

“That sounds like I shouldn’t be standing.”

“You know that’s not what I meant, right? Did you come here to quibble over words?”

“Of course not.”

He glanced over the faces pointing guns at him.

50 elite agents who have passed countless tests.

Each one was exuding a fierce force.

Moreover, they must have opened their stats after living in the dungeon for several days.

There’s no chance of winning by fighting hand-to-hand alone.

‘That’s the dungeon rifle.’

To make matters worse, they were armed with new-style rifles.

If Im Hak-bong and they were to fight, the soldiers would naturally overwhelm him.

But even in that situation, he was confident.

Tuung – !

His feet moved.

Someone with exceptionally developed dynamic visual acuity might have caught it, but most didn’t.

Only Han Sarang was able to follow with her eyes and head.

But even that was far too late.

“I have a purpose.”

Something in his hand.

He threw it back, dripping with bright red liquid and wearing an expression of horror.

Thud.

The headless corpse fell, dropping its gun and equipment.

“What…are you doing!!”

A shout that burst out belatedly.

Even so, Han Sarang and the soldiers quickly moved away and reorganized their ranks.

A truly orderly movement.

If the enemy was an ordinary person, they would have been terrified just by seeing that movement.

But unfortunately, Im Hak-bong, who was moving with anger and twisted desire, was not at the stage of caring about such things.

“Long time no see, Han Sarang.”

A gloomy echo.

But an unpleasant sense of hope that could be seen from time to time.

Han Sarang felt goosebumps all over her body.

This feeling was the same as when she was captured by Barkana and harassed by Ermios.

Lust.

A blatant desire for her was expressed and filled the dungeon.

His ever-changing expression only showed a distorted possessiveness towards her, and it was like the face of a demon.

“Commander-nim!”

“Fire!”

She gave the order to fire without hesitation.

His expression was too terrible, but above all, he killed an innocent soldier without any warning.

To come into a dungeon owned by the military and suddenly kill a soldier?

This was a clear act of treason, and it was the military’s policy and her belief to immediately kill such a person if they had special force.

Since all the affection had fallen out when her relationship with him ended several months ago, she had not a single hesitation, nor any feelings of affection, sadness, or regret.

Just shoot the enemy to death, and if the gun doesn’t work, stab them to death with a knife-,

That kind of expression.

A face that confronts a clear enemy.

“Hmph.”

Was it because he didn’t like that expression?

Im Hak-bong lowered the lips he had slightly raised.

“You’re still the same.”

“Dieeee!!”

Bullets swirled in from all directions.

A barrage of bullets that would destroy the shape itself of anyone, or anything.

Countless bullets that could turn even a solid concrete building into a honeycomb flew to pierce Im Hak-bong’s body.

But,

The thin film that was placed on his small words deflected everything.

The ricocheted bullets hit the nearby floor or walls, and some flew far away, causing screams from the monsters.

“What the hell is that bastard!!!”

It doesn’t work at all.

Han Sarang and the soldiers desperately fired their guns, but Im Hak-bong shrugged his shoulders with a very relaxed attitude.

“You see, I’m prepared.”

What the hell is he talking about?

I can’t hear anything because of the intense sound of the hail of bullets.

“This goddamn job is good at its abilities, but it has one very shitty problem.”

His face contorted violently.

But the bullets still couldn’t penetrate his shield.

“If you have sex even once, all job effects and stats are reset…and you can never have stats again. How absurd is that?”

Chest & Kiss Virgin Great Magician.

The naming and restrictions are absurd, but the performance itself is ridiculously good.

Attack power and defense increase by 100% each time the excitement level, which consists of a total of 5 stages, is raised.

In addition, the overall stats increase by 1% for each partner who can periodically touch their breasts or kiss.

In other words, you can achieve a huge amount of stat increase just by hiring and keeping a large number of prostitutes.

“Do you know how much money was invested? The prostitutes I hired for my limbs…and the stats I secretly siphoned off…do you know that? Some of the stats that the Harem Palace supplies to the military disappear quite a bit in the intermediate stages.”

Even in the midst of the storm of bullets, he calmly continued to say words that no one could understand.

“Anyway…a lot of money was spent to deal with you guys. It all became my debt, you know? But if I have sex once, it all goes away. If I want to pay it back, I have to live with this power for decades to come….”

His eyes flashed in the hazy smoke.

“Isn’t it absurd? I’m practically impotent. So I gave up. On life. I don’t care about anything anymore. If I can just hold you and do whatever I want, I don’t need anything anymore. I’ll get a room, tie you up so you can’t run away, and rape you every day. My stats and job will all disappear, but I don’t care. Because we’re going to live together from now on.”

Although his crazy voice could not be heard, it was sufficiently conveyed that it was not good content.

“You talk too much.”

In the end, Han Sarang threw away the useless gun anywhere.

It wasn’t something a soldier should do, but since the gun was meaningless anyway, it was just a burden to have it.

Click, click.

Was it a trick of fate?

In line with that, the soldiers’ guns could no longer fire.

O-ring.

They had used up all the bullets they had brought.

“…Shit.”

Someone cursed.

If this happens, even if they kill Im Hak-bong, the problem is getting back.

Everyone has gained stats, but it is clear that they will suffer considerable damage if they encounter monsters.

The soldiers’ faces darkened.

“Han Sarang-ssi.”

With all the shooting sounds stopped, Im Hak-bong proudly spread his arms to the left and right.

“Now forget that dirty bastard and become my own cute pet.”

Squeeze.

She clenched her fist tightly.

He gave her humiliation before, but this time he is handing over disgust wrapped in packaging.

Even the slightest affection that remained as much as a plankton’s DNA fragment was completely erased.

Swish.

Since the gun is useless, what you have to use in the end is a knife.

This was also specially made for dungeons, and at first glance, it was something that could not be seen as a weapon at all.

The size and shape are just like a cell phone.

She silently pressed the display with her thumb.

a are lieutenant colonel han legal you the activating

Chrararararak!!

That thing the size of a palm began to stretch up and down at the same time as the mechanical sound ended.

It was like a Trans Mithril transforming!

What was the size of a small cell phone eventually became a long sword.

Almost the same length as the command sword given to the generals.

“What is that again? A sword? Haha…Sarang-ssi, it’s quite amazing, but you can’t fight me with that. First of all, you can’t penetrate the shield…can’t you see this?”

Im Hak-bong laughed at her and held out his prosthetic arm made of special alloy.

“This is a bulletproof prosthetic arm, you bitch!!”

Han Sarang jumped out immediately after seeing his changing expression.

“Commander!”

Light movement.

With a whoong, her body was thrown, and her long legs took large strides, reaching Im Hak-bong’s vicinity in an instant.

“Try cutting it!! You can’t do it anyway! You’ll be under me for the rest of your life-,”

“A alloy prosthetic arm?”

Ssiing – !

A clean cut.

The slash that was struck down from above towards the outstretched prosthetic arm fell off and cut off his prosthetic arm as if it were a lie.

“…?!”

A face of astonishment.

How the hell did this happen?

I had a shield, didn’t I?

And this is alloy, right?

With just a sword-,

“This vibrates 20,000 times per second, you son of a bitch.”
