“Don’t panic! Protect everyone’s position!”

A soldier wearing a rank insignia as a second lieutenant in the National Defense Organization speaks evilly. But despair is already flashing through his eyes.

An irregular and huge cry is heard that is not human, but very low-level, but cuts off the listener’s will, and the swarm of monsters covering the sky gradually approaches us.

Destructions called monsters approach. Countless wild dogs from the abyss are covering the world.

My great sword sliced through the space, and the crescent-shaped sword energy that flew out cut the waists of more than ten monsters.

─Wow!

The monsters’ blood splatters and their flesh crumbles. The crescent moon made of magical power vaporizes and disappears, and the scattered fragments of light melt the monsters’ flesh.

Mortars and self-propelled guns in the rear spew fire and explode, but the murder dolls, stripped of their original emotion of fear, gradually break through the fire and get closer.

The distance from them is not far anymore. It was almost possible to distinguish the tattered faces of the monsters.

“Damn.”

He spat out an insult.

Recently, the tactical status of monsters has been changing. Intermediate monsters are quite mixed and change systematically.

On the day the gate first opened in this world, most of them were low-level monsters. Even though it is an intermediate level, it is a Brute that is easy to deal with.

However, their strategy seems to have changed and new monsters are being brought to the fore on a large scale.

In fact, mid-level monsters are not particularly strong opponents. Even though higher-level monsters suddenly become a few levels stronger, there’s nothing I can’t deal with.

According to the classification in the original “Kiss Siege Sense,” it was explained that usually high-level monsters can be easily dealt with by one S-class hunter or five or more A-class hunters working together.

But that’s only if it’s a one-on-one situation. What would happen if the S-class hunters from the original were brought here now? They probably won’t see any good results either.

I, too, can be said to be the single strongest living being on Earth. Even if you add the original work, there will probably be nothing that can match me.

If it were a one-on-one situation, I would be able to take on even the highest level monsters on my own.

If I were to meet the top-level monster Annihilator, who only appeared in name in the main story, I was confident that I would annihilate him before the car cooled down.

‘But this is too much!’

That’s what numbers are. If only one person were to face 17 people, that one person would probably be able to beat the 17 people. That’s because Gyeonjadan did that.

But what about 10 to 170? What about 100 to 1700? What if it’s 1000 to 17000? It is extremely remote for the former to achieve victory.

Moreover, judging from the sight that is covering the world, the number of monsters must be at least greater than one can imagine.

When the staff was shaken, fireballs flew and a huge explosion occurred. The monsters are running towards us, swinging their claws even though their entire bodies are burning, as if they can’t feel the pain.

“… Mr. Mund!”

A chain of lightning passes through the monsters. The lightning spreads in all directions and turns them into charcoal.

The cries of monsters can be heard along with the acrid smell of burning flesh.

“Mr. Northmund!”

When I came to, I saw someone yelling at me from behind.

A voice cracking as if it had been squeezed out of the lungs, sweat on the forehead mixed with the dust of the sandstorm blowing on the Sinai plains, and a heartbeat that seemed to be heard even through the deafening sound of bullets being fired.

An officer was yelling at me.

“You must retreat! The Combined Forces Command has activated Plan X!”

“… I guess so.”

I turned my gaze and looked at the battlefield of Abi Gyu-hwan.

There is a goal for this operation out there. The original goal was already dark, obscured by a swarm of wyverns blocking the sky.

The goal of this operation is over there, but I can’t reach it even though it’s in a place where I can reach it if I just stretch out my hand.

“… The operation was a failure.”

I let out a sigh.

Plan X. Short for eXterminate, meaning nuclear attack.

It is a final strategy that is activated only when it seems impossible to win, or when the enemy must be prevented from advancing any further even if the battle is lost.

Although it was called a final attack, it has become so natural over the past few days that it is a final battle that is used whenever a battle occurs.

A few days ago, the Allied forces gave up and retreated from Cairo and launched several nuclear attacks, and the monsters that filled the horizon also disappeared into dust, swept away by the mushroom cloud and atomic radiation generated by nuclear fission.

However, just a few days later, to our great despair, the monsters regained their strength and attempted to advance beyond Egypt into the Middle East.

What on earth is happening in Africa, which has turned into a dark continent? Is there even a copy machine that targets monsters?

“Get in the helicopter! The rear command center has already been withdrawn.”

If a nuclear attack were to be launched against the Suez, it would mean that the Suez Canal had already been decided to be abandoned. It means there is no hope anymore.

“What about the soldiers? What are they going to do?”

“We will retreat. There will be some damage, but… .”

I swallowed my saliva with a sad heart. It would be impossible to retreat without damage.

The 6th and 21st Divisions of the International Defense Organization mobilized in the battle to recapture Suez are the most mechanized elite soldiers. As the operation fails, many people will die.

People are moving around busily, as if news of a retreat has arrived. Start climbing into nearby armored vehicles and transport trucks.

He boldly throws away the weapons he cannot take and starts running.

As the gunfire gradually decreased, the maggots from the abyss began to approach.

Soon, the apocalypse of hell returned to the Sinai Plain.

“Ugh!”

“Save me! Argh!”

“Aaagh! mother! Please save me!”

I squinted from my headache. The first time I experienced in Seoul after coming to this world flashed before my eyes reflexively.

The slasher’s claws cut through the soldiers and tear their bodies. You try to block their claws with the firearm you are holding, but the pitifully sharp blade cuts off their bodies along with the firearm.

One sergeant, who turned a tod that was trying to bite him into a hive, smiled in relief without even realizing it.

Even his laughter was meaningless when another Todd came up from behind and bit his head.

Amidst the ravenous munching, the horrifying sound of bones breaking and brain matter being crushed was heard.

“Please come here, Northmund! If the wyverns get closer, the helicopter won’t be able to take off!”

He sees me standing there in a daze and desperately shouts. Despite being rude, he was pulling my arm.

“I understand your frustration! But aren’t you the one who shouldn’t end here? Humanity needs you!”

“… I see.”

I followed his touch in a soulless voice. When I arrived at the heliport, it seemed like the helicopter had already finished warming up its engines and was waiting for me.

He must have been nervous that I didn’t come, so he sighed in relief when he saw me. There was relief and tension in his voice as he greeted me.

A transport helicopter came to mind with the sound of a propeller. As I rose into the air, I gradually began to see the situation on the ground.

Soldiers who missed the escape vehicle were being killed by monsters. Is it deja vu of the situation we saw in Cairo a few days ago?

Even then, I escaped by helicopter. I think I went back to the command center, listened to a brief situation meeting, and used the headquarters’ teleportation magic circle to return to Ellada on the other side of the world.

I returned to Ellada with my throbbing head… . okay. Weapons were probably distributed at that time. I yelled at some naked asshole who couldn’t understand the situation.

“There will be a nuclear attack soon, so we will move quickly. Please understand even if I am shaken. Here we go to Romeo Point with Sikorsky 401S Mr. R. Oba.”

The helicopter rocked, tilted forward, and began to escape the battlefield at high speed.

As I was lost in thought for a moment, one of the officers who guided me said something to me in a quiet but clear voice.

“We are currently outside the explosion range, so we are safe. However, do not look towards the west as it may cause visual problems… .”

I ignored his words and looked at the place I had left. A canal is visible in the distance. Will that place now disappear due to a huge explosion?

Next to me, there was an officer who reacted like a child, as if he wanted to say something or didn’t know what choice to make.

He is making an awkward expression as if something is wrong with my personal life as a VIP, but it is also difficult to talk to me directly.

At that moment, something came down from the sky at high speed and hit the ground, and a blinding flash occurred. It was as if I happened to see a welding scene while walking down the street, or even more than that.

I frowned at the huge amount of lux hitting my eyeballs and reflexively closed my eyes. When I lifted my eyelids, I saw a huge mushroom cloud rising over Suez.

While I was closing my eyes, another small mushroom cloud appeared a short distance away.

After a while, I looked away in disgust as I saw something additional fall from the sky. A huge flash of light exploded again behind my back.

“Are your eyes okay?”

“It’s okay. Thank you for your concern.”

I lay down on the hard, uncomfortable helicopter chair. I felt unbearable fatigue and fatigue and wanted to rest for a bit.

*

A notice was posted on Ellada about a change in the midterm exam administration method.

Early in the morning, Sejun Han went to school in a refreshing mood and passed the main hall of Ellada, famous for the giant statue of Northmund, when he saw a group of students gathered at the bulletin board next to the stairs.

Since only women were gathered together, was there an advertisement for a new cosmetics product? Just as I was walking up the stairs, thinking it wasn’t a big deal, Han Sejun’s cell phone rang.

It was Jang A-hyun’s cat talk.

[Sejun, did you see the notice in the main hall of the main building? Let’s meet in the empty classroom at the end of the 3rd floor at around 6pm when all lectures are over today. There is a meeting with Team Jang A-hyun.]

‘Eh.’

Women like to crowd around, so meetings aside, I wonder if there was some important information posted on the bulletin board just now.

As I was coming down the marble stairs again, I heard the chattering voices of female students in front of the bulletin board.

─Ah, what should I do! I’m screwed, my opponent is Xenia!

─The test method has suddenly changed. eww… Isn’t it too much to say that a week ago?

─Oh, is what Gideon said true? oh my god!

Out of curiosity, I went to the bulletin board and there was a notice posting a change in the midterm exam method.

‘Jang A-hyeon was right.’

He wasn’t that surprised. Isn’t this what your leader personally said to you when he bought you a glass of strawberry juice?

The contents of the notice are as follows.

『Notice of change in midterm exam schedule.』

[The method of conducting the Practical Skills Development Studies midterm exam scheduled for May 3 has been changed.

The existing sparring method with the Ellada combat instructor ─> Changed to a 1:1 sparring method between students.

The evaluation criteria are the same as before. The evaluation is based on correct posture, attack, evasion sense, situational coping ability, and personal concentration.

You can use this ability during sparring, and additional points are awarded when you knock down or defeat your opponent.

※important. Weapons cannot be used. Because it is sparring, attacks that could threaten one’s life cannot be used. If used, you will be disqualified and given the lowest score.

The written exam is the same as before.]

Below is a list of designated sparrers. ※The sparring designation was made after discussion among people with the most similar skills.

1. Peter Ferrami ─ Andy Newark

2. Nguyen Thich Van Tuc ─ Mahadhi Lokpho Amon Rattanakko Thin

3. Sally Sinclair ─ Sarah Cliffhanger

.

.

.

.

Han Sejun followed the notice and began reading down the list.

The results of selecting some familiar or important names were as follows.

Gideon Gray vs Jimmy Ramirez

Ahyun Jang vs Alexander Ivanovic

Muriel Müller vs Tania Grayson

Nakajima Yue vs Li Yingying

‘Umm… .’

First of all, Gideon and Ramirez. It seemed like the leaders of the two factions were sticking together.

Although it was written that groups of similar skills were grouped together, I was a bit puzzled.

Ramirez has the ability to speak. Can Gideon, the owner of an ordinary body enhancement ability, win? Wouldn’t he just be defeated with burns all over his body?

And Ahyun Jang and Alexander. It seemed like the two were going to boil over.

Light bullets and lightning. I don’t know what will happen. In a certain fruit power battle, it is said that there is no end to the natural world if you do not use your spirit… .

Muriel and Tania. I’ve never seen the skills of these two, so I’m not sure. I feel sorry for the high-tension locker girl, but personally, I thought Tania, who seemed like a skilled swordsman, would win.

A name I heard for the first time with a Himecut girl. They seem to be Chinese. Could it be Li Jiyuan’s faction?

‘And I…’ Ah, I found it.’

Han Se-jun, who was looking through his name, eventually found his own name. It seemed like Han Se-jun’s turn to spar was decided quite later.

‘uh? ‘My opponent.’

And when I found the name written next to it, I let out a small exclamation of surprise.

Sejun Han ─ Li Jiyuan.

Because it was written like this.

‘this. A big name from the beginning… .’

Han Sejun muttered in his heart.
