episode_0019

The purpose of anomia is revenge.

I don’t know if there was another purpose, but in the end, it was clear that Ahn Woo-jin was the target.

So, they probably kidnapped the clerk and used him as bait.

Woojin reviewed his knowledge of the game.

Anomia is a group of villains with a lower risk than the six criminals.

However, because the scale was considerable, they also had a strong military power.

The person you need to be most wary of is the top executive, AQ.

However, the possibility that AQ is in Gray Star converged to 0.

This was because he was accompanying the cowardly captain as an escort.

The leader of Anomia will be far away from the danger zone. And I would observe the situation like a guest at the zoo.

Thanks to this, Woojin was able to guess the captain’s location.

The building called Gray Star is where the Anomia eradication operation took place during the first semester of the second year in the original game.

There, Anomia’s captain gave instructions to his subordinates and battled with the protagonist as if playing chess.

Woojin clearly remembered where he did that.

Because the original story was easy to recall.

So, the leadership of AQ and Anomia, the top executives, was entrusted to Oh Baek-seo, the vice-director of Seondobu, the strongest player in Aseong High School.

As for the rest of Anomia’s troops, I guess.

Woojin was confident that at least the troops to be gathered at Gray Star could be defeated without the Five Hundred Servants.

In the end, the moment when Woojin saved Park Min-hyuk, the leader’s secretary.

Anomia was about to face a future of destruction.

With every step I took, the rain splashed down on me. The dark clouds that filled the night sky were still pouring down heavy rain.

Woojin put the wireless earphone in his right ear and calmly opened his mouth.

“Arrived at destination. From now on, we begin the operation to rescue the secretary and eliminate anomia.”

─ Yes.

─ Yes!

─ Got it.

The answers of Deputy Director Oh Baek-seo, Disruption Control Officer Ha Ye-song, and Accountant Yoo Yu-ha were deafening.

Woojin arrived normally in front of the main entrance of the Gray Star building.

Weeing. Several combat turrets and a swarm of drones flying in the sky recognized Ujin.

Armed Anomia troops also held weapons and engulfed themselves in magic, keeping a lookout for Ujin.

“ came. I’m the leader of Aseong High School.”

“That guy is… ?”

“Wait a minute. Are you saying this comes in through the front door?”

“Are you trying to be alone? That’s a funny bastard.”

“I feel something strong… ?”

Among the troops stationed at the main gate, the relatively stronger ones swallowed dry saliva without even realizing it.

There was an unknown sense of intimidation flowing from Woojin.

Suddenly their instincts shouted.

Even though they were obviously far superior in numbers and even equipped with combat robots.

I don’t think I can defeat that black man coming through the darkness of the night.

Tsutsut.

In the darkness, Woojin’s eyes glowed turquoise and generated an electric current. It was the activation of magical power.

His hands pulled out the two handles fastened to the belt. Less evil! When they crossed and swung down, the iron bars contained within each handle popped out.

One is a black triple pole.

Equipment that was once used to suppress all of Anomia’s troops stationed on the train.

Puzzle! A turquoise pattern was engraved on the surface along the magic circuit, and Woojin’s lightning magic rose.

Another one is Byeokchukbong.

An explosive magic device that emits powerful lightning energy.

It produced a faint blue-green electric current. He was ready to explode his stored magic at any time.

When Woojin finally entered the front door, all the lights focused on him. As if pointing to a target to focus on.

Woojin stood still and glared like ice at the enemies targeting him.

The air was tense, and all Anomia troops were tense.

The platoon leader of the front gate troops shouted.

“Everyone, attack!!”

Using that command as a signal, the turrets and drones turned their eyes red and switched to battle mode.

Faaaa! Combat robots condensed magical power and fired beams of light or fired small missiles. Woojin kicked off the ground and accelerated momentarily to avoid a volley of shots.

Quaaaang! A meaningless explosion hit the ground and kicked up dust.

The turrets and drones simultaneously tracked Woojin’s biological reactions, and Anomia’s armed forces rushed towards one enemy named Woojin. Each of them had their bodies strengthened with magical power.

Pajik!

A fourth-tier Anomia soldier attacked Ugin with a sword wrapped in electric magic. Pakak! Woojin blocked the sword strike with a triple baton.

Pow!

“Keuhak!”

Immediately afterwards, a turquoise trail cut through Bambi and knocked away the soldier’s hand. Kwajak! The bones in his hand broke and the sword fell.

One after another, the three-stage baton was swung heavily in a half-moon pattern.

Pow!!

The strike struck spread a shock wave of electricity and sent the enemy flying. In an instant, his ribs were crushed like powder.

Pajik! Electricity generated in the aftermath of the shock wave flowed in several directions along with the heavy rain.

The surrounding enemies, soaked in rainwater, were electrocuted.

“Keuuu!”

“Kaaak!”

Woojin moved quickly and hit the paralyzed enemies with a triple baton.

puck!

puck!

Pow!

10 enemies, including 4th rank organization members, fell in an instant.

Every time Anomia’s troops dropped their weapons, Ugin snatched them up and skillfully threw them toward the turret or drone.

Piung! The spear crossed the air in a straight line and accurately pierced the turret.

Whirling! The ax flew around and cut the muzzle of another turret in half.

Each turret sparkled, then turned off its lights and lowered its head.

A volley of drone shots followed, but Woojin walked like a scholar and easily dodged them. It was as if it had read the entire trajectory of the bullet and reacted.

The triple baton was swung, emitting shock waves.

Every time this happened, bright lights flashed everywhere, screams rang out non-stop everywhere, and enemies fell to the ground.

However, unlike the narrow train, this is a battlefield with open spaces on all sides.

“Surround him!”

Gradually, Anomia’s troops surrounded Ujin from all directions and continued their attack.

If things continue like this, there will definitely come a moment when Woojin lets his guard down.

It would only be a matter of time before he was taken down.

… It was an illusion.

Faaah!

“!”

Using his magically enhanced leg strength, Woojin stepped on the head of the Anomia soldier as if he had been waiting and leapt. It was a movement as agile as a squirrel.

Woojin escaped the siege, stepped on walls and structures, and jumped upward.

Woojin suddenly rose from a high position.

He turned around and looked down at Anomia’s troops concentrated in one place.

It’s so scary!!

Woojin’s other weapon, Byeokchukbong, created a storm of lightning.

In the air, several branches of blue-green electricity spread out like tree roots, splitting the air and stirring it up.

Qarring! What was held in Woojin’s hand took the form of a strong force that did not lose its shine.

The sight of the highly concentrated magical energy that had been refined by mastering the magic exercises since infancy flowing and being released without filtration through the magical power circuit of the Byeokchulbong.

It was a moment when Byeokchukbong’s potential was clearly brought out.

“What is that… ?”

Anomia’s troops could not keep their mouths shut as they watched the scene.

I couldn’t even think about responding.

How can I stop that?

Soon Woojin threw the Byeokchukbong at the enemies.

The sight of lightning striking through the air was engraved on everyone’s retinas for a split second.

A flash of light shines.

A lightning rod, shaped like a lightning strike, struck the ground.

Crumbling!!!

“Kwaaaa!!”

“Aaagh!!”

A wave of lightning drives away the spring rain.

An explosion of concentrated magical power and a bundle of lightning covered the enemies in an instant, burning and destroying the entire area.

Fazizik. As the lightning subsided, the Anomia troops collapsed helplessly, steam rising.

Thanks to strengthening his body with magic, he did not lose his life, but because of it, he felt the burning pain and had to faint. There was also a reason why Woojin adjusted his strength.

The end of the drone swarm was no different.

All of them sparked, then stopped functioning and fell to the ground.

thud! thud! The fallen drone broke apart and scattered fragments.

Tsutsut, Tsutsut. Woojin landed easily on the ground where a blue-green electric current flowed.

I looked around.

Many of the enemies guarding the main gate were lying down and trembling intermittently.

The front gate troops were wiped out.

Yuan Wujin alone stood tall.

“… … .”

Woojin picked up the wall axle, stored his lightning magic again, and calmly entered the Gray Star building.

Meanwhile.

‘That’s a wall pole… ?’

The captain of Anomia, who was watching the battle scene at the main gate on the screen, could not keep his mouth shut.

‘I didn’t get any information about him having a wall axle. Rather, is it possible to achieve that level of power with a wall axle… ?’

No matter how rainy the weather was, Byeokchukbong’s power could not have been that level.

That crossed the line by a long way.

The fact that the power of the Byeokchukbong has been raised so much means that the amount of magical power filtered through the Byeokchukbong’s magic circuit is extremely small. Or maybe the magic wasn’t filtered out at all.

This leads to the conclusion that the purity of magical power is superior.

The purity of magical power is no different from potential.

Because you will be able to demonstrate excellent abilities in all areas that deal with magical power.

Additionally, the higher the purity of magical power, the higher the possibility of reaching a higher level.

A guy like that is still ranked 4th.

It was ridiculous.

“Chit.”

The captain clicked his tongue.

It was a mistake to underestimate Woojin’s combat ability.

However, there was still enough room left to trust.

‘Still, you won’t be able to pass the trap safely.’

Gray Star had several traps set up.

In case of emergency, these were prepared to carry out agricultural propaganda.

Mines that explode with magic power, or turrets hidden in the dark.

Various traps aimed at killing would target Woojin’s life.

One or two traps won’t be enough for Woojin, but as the damage accumulates, victory will be as obvious as fire.

The captain smiled as he thought about that.

Weeeeing.

The phone rang again.

It was Gray Star’s control room.

The captain answered the phone.

“What is it?”

─ Oh, boss… ! Trap… !

“Trap?”

─ All the traps are being breached!

“What?”

The captain couldn’t believe his ears.

─ It’s as if we know where all the traps are, and we’re destroying them all! I can’t believe it… !

The voice of the control room subordinate trembled.

The captain was confused.

‘How on earth?’

They’re destroying all the traps.

How is that possible?

To do this, you must be fully aware of the location and type of the trap… .

“!”

The captain realized.

Structural diagrams containing information about ships are given only to executive levels.

If he had obtained such information, Woojin must have been deeply involved in the organization.

‘Something… .’

The captain felt a strong sense of discomfort as unexpected and shocking results appeared before his eyes one after another.

At first, I drew a picture of Woojin being treated, herded, and dealt with like a hamster locked in a case, with Gray Star in the background.

The sense of discomfort gradually becomes clearer.

Maybe it was he who was playing in the other person’s palm.

that… It was an ominous sense of discomfort.

I thought you already highly valued Woojin and were wary of him.

Even that might have been an underestimate.

The captain’s face turned white.

He urgently called the top executive.

“AQ… ! Deal with the leader of Aseong High School.”

─ That’s right.

Pop.

The captain hung up the phone and threw the cannon phone on the desk.

My thoughts changed.

Gray Star’s forces might not be able to defeat Ugin.

In that case, we have no choice but to send AQ, the strongest force in Anomia.

Only then could Woojin be definitely dealt with.

* * *

Gray Star.

This is a building that Anomia owns through a title trust.

Unlike the abandoned building-like exterior, the interior was clean.

They had an anonymous, wealthy benefactor behind them.

This building was also obtained through sponsorship.

The identity of the sponsor was not revealed in the game, but the community assumed that he was one of the six criminals.

Well, that’s it.

The plan was to completely deal with the anomia that bothered me like a fly.

The sponsor can reveal it step by step after that.

This is the building where the main character Taeseong Lee gathered his party and entered to raid Anomia in the original game.

In other words, it was a place that appeared in the original story.

The original story is well remembered.

Based on that memory, I paid attention to the locations of major traps and there was no problem.

Quang!

I targeted the black turret that had fired magical bullets at me and fired the triple baton.

Quang!

With an explosion, turquoise electricity struck the turret, and the machine’s lights suddenly went out.

I retrieved my triple baton again and hurried my steps.

Occasionally, enemies from ambush would jump out and attack me, but I could easily suppress them.

In the game, there was a boss at the upper level of Gray Star.

I remembered a place that had been designed appropriately for their battles.

Park Min-hyuk is probably there too.

The elevator might be dangerous, so I quickly climbed the stairs.

As we reached the upper floors, a dark space filled our view.

A bunch of annoying noises, like the flapping wings of flies, were heard.

As I entered, many drones in the darkness made ‘jiing’ sounds and their red eyes flashed.

and.

Whiuuung!

A strong shock hit my head along with a loud noise.

I realized that a large fist was stuck in my head.

A fist strengthened by magical power.

It was a fist that a strong person of at least the 5th rank or higher would make.

Pow! Just like that, my body flew through the air and hit the wall violently.

The remains of the wall poured down and covered my body.

I guess it’s because it was designed as a battlefield.

The walls were strong.

The cushioning wasn’t too bad.

“Quew.”

I spat out the dust that had entered my mouth and lightly brushed away the debris that covered my face.

A faint light came on from the lamp, and objects became distinguishable.

A landscape full of various structures.

In the middle of it all, there stood a large man with magic power wrapped around his fists. He was wearing Maheon High School uniform.

Next to him, on the pillar, a short-built female student wearing a hood was squatting and hugging her knees. Inside the hooded coat, Aseong High School’s black school uniform was visible.

“Department, manager… .”

In front of another pillar.

Park Min-hyuk, secretary of the leadership department, was hanging around helplessly.

The wounds increased as if he had been beaten more. It seemed like it was difficult to control his body.

“… … .”

As expected, I seemed to have become attached to my leadership team colleagues.

Because my heart started to burn like hell.

“Grrr… .”

The giant who had put his fist into my head let out a howl like an animal.

I know that guy well.

One of Gray Star’s bosses.

The third head of Anomia’s executives.

It was Jang Ha-moon, a dropout from Mahyeon High School.

“Hello, Leading Manager.”

The same goes for the hooded woman who greets me carefree. He was another one of Gray Star’s bosses.

She is the second head of Anomia executives.

It was Lee Ji-su, a dropout from our academy.

Both of them belong to the 5th tier.

Crash.

Combat drones hovered around them and pointed their guns at me.

It was the same scene I saw in the game.

I guess they were originally planning to show something like that.

It was actually a pretty cool sight.

“I’m sorry for surprising you. If it was the 4th level, it would have been difficult to withstand the attack just now.”

Jisoo’s voice echoed through the space.

“Please understand even if it’s hurtful. We had no choice because it was the commander’s order. The order is to deal with the obstructionist… . Huh?”

Swish.

Jisoo was taken aback when she easily raised her upper body.

There was no pain.

I just feel like I was hit gently with a rubber mallet.

“What is it? Why are you fine?”

Ignoring Jisoo’s voice filled with embarrassment, I stood up and brushed the dirt off my clothes.

“Your clothes are dirty.”

“… … .”

Jisoo narrowed her eyes.

Her expression, which had been relaxed just a moment ago, became extremely wary.

Xiamen, the giant who punched me, “Hehehehe… ! Stand up! ”, he blurted out in a deep voice, breaking it into pieces.

That guy was an intellectually disabled person who only knew how to make the sounds of an animal.

Meanwhile, Minhyuk, who probably thought I would be safe, cried ungainly, tears pouring down like a waterfall.

“Huh! I’m the manager!! Please save me!!”

“If you don’t want to get hit, shut up!”

“Hey!”

When Jisoo shouted nervously, Minhyuk was startled and screamed.

That guy was like that every time.

Last year as well, the day I was captured by the gangsters who had a grudge against the leaders.

As soon as he saw me, who had no choice but to come to rescue him, he started crying and screaming like that.

I remember bursting out laughing because it was so funny.

He shifted his gaze towards the enemies.

I looked at them with cold eyes.

“I believe you all know the price of messing with the leaders.”

He spoke calmly, pulling on the end of the black gloves on his hands and putting them away.

“Enforce on-site arrests and severely punish offenders.”

He recited the leader’s official line in a solemn tone.

“However.”

Puzzle!

Lightning magic was created on the three-stage pole again.

“You are receiving aggravated punishment.”

I can’t forgive them.
