episode_0086

There was a roar of destruction as buildings collapsed around him, but Sejun did not react even after hearing the explosion.

To be precise, the correct answer would be that he did not hear the roar that sounded like a carpet bombing because his thoughts on other things were blocked by the presence in front of him.

“Qu!”

Sejun didn’t even know that he was chewing his lip so hard that blood was seeping out. It may be that the content of the conversation that just happened continues to linger in his mind and complicate things.

And as he felt that ‘it’ in the shape of his father was gradually approaching, he held his beloved bottle in his hand even more tightly.

Addramalek, in his father’s form, pulls his feet.

Unfortunately or fortunately, Adramalek, who took the form of Sejun’s father, did not use light like he used in his black form.

No, it was used, but it was not fired that recklessly.

The bundle of jet-black rays that blew away everything around them was no longer flying.

“Are you feeling fortunate, Sejun?”

Addramalek pulled his foot and kicked the ground with his other foot. It’s as if he’s just copying Sejun’s movements.

A cracking sound is heard, and at the same time it is transmitted to Sejun’s eardrums, the devil approaches Sejun’s eyes.

In a moment.

A strong impact and the sound of metal hitting metal were heard from the sword in his hand, and Sejun’s body flew into the sky.

And then I realized it. If things continue like this, he will roll awkwardly on the floor and his father’s attacks will continue on top of him.

Sejun adjusted his posture in the air and stopped his movement by slamming his sword into the ground.

Jiiik, the sound of the Mana Weapon scraping the asphalt on the floor is immediately followed by the sound of the rubber of Sejun’s sneakers rubbing against the ground.

“Well, I guess it’s a good thing. Anyway, Sejun, you don’t want to die right now. There aren’t that many spares.”

“Ugh.”

Sejun unconsciously let out a foolish sound from his mouth. My stomach is burning and I can taste blood in my mouth.

Sejun’s father can be heard giggling.

Adramalek dares to transform into Sejun’s father and try to defeat him in the same way as Sejun.

The reason may be because Sejun cannot be killed right now. Judging from his story, he was absolutely necessary to create the final body.

Therefore, in order to obtain maximum cooperation.

To crush Sejun’s own resistance from the root.

They must be doing something inefficient like this.

therefore.

“I think you are mistaken, Sejun.”

“Haaa!”

From the moment Sejun kicked the floor, I could vaguely hear the spirit that seemed to have been unleashed.

The attack he made, squeezing all his mana and risking everything in his mana hall, was so powerful that it broke the speed of sound and a sound could be heard later. A world where sound cannot match.

Whiiing!

Sejun’s sword swings with a huge sonic boom. The movement of the arm cuts through the wind.

A level that Northmund has seen before. A blow that seemed similar to a giant sword cutting through the wind.

Sejun felt something fishy going over his stomach and down his throat.

My whole body is screaming from this abnormal physical activity. And it is too late for even the sensation of pain to be transmitted to the brain.

Even if you measure it with a clock that can count to tens of decimal places, you won’t be able to capture it properly.

Only a few decimal seconds.

And before those decimal seconds become less than a second.

“… There was no reason for me to receive cooperation from you, Sejun. Oh, as long as it’s okay there, that’s enough. ”

“!”

While Sejun was rolling his eyes in confusion at the feeling of something sticking to his wrist holding the sword, Adramalek moved.

When he looked up, he saw Adramalek holding his wrist. And that hand.

Craddangtang!

He throws Sejun to the ground forcefully, as if he were throwing a round in judo.

“Kaaaak, kaaa.”

As the physical quantity he was charging spun around and returned to him, Han Se-jun was thrown to the ground, letting out a scream similar to the screams of monsters.

Even though I have been strengthened to steel-like strength by my own reinforcing ability called magical release, I feel pain as if my insides are being shaken.

A lump of blood rose up his throat and Sejun spit it out.

“If it doesn’t work out, you can just take it off? ok? What do you mean? I think frozen sperm would be enough.”

“Ahh, ah, ah.”

“Oh, that might be a bit too much. I don’t know if it would be effective if the guardian’s essence is frozen.”

Ha, ha, sighing, Sejun raised his head and glared at Adramalek. Fortunately, the guy who turned into Sejun’s father was frivolous and talkative like his father.

Being chatty enough to be noisy could be said to be Sejun’s luck right now.

“You know. The reason you became the first awakened person is because you have Guardian blood. What are you talking about? Li Jiyuan, I knew that that Chinese guy wasn’t the first one to awaken.”

“Phew.”

“So, the only ones that could be used in the plan were you and Yoon Sia. No, come to think of it, don’t you think Sejun needs to be this considerate to you?”

“… .”

“No, I think it would be a waste of manpower to do this to even the spare, not even Yoon Shia, which was the original plan. Should I just shatter my arms and legs?”

Sejun’s head was spinning.

If his body could speak, it would have continued to scream near death, but even in such pain, Sejun’s mind was very cool-headed.

It was like that.

The opponent in front of us now is not something that can be fought in an all-out war.

When I directly put my sword together, it felt like it might be worth a try, unlike the original that fired light beams, but it was still true that I was at a disadvantage.

Although he himself lacked information about him, from what Adramalekh said, it seemed like he had known about him for a long time, or even from the beginning.

Come to think of it.

The taste of blood in one’s mouth is somehow different.

It wasn’t just the taste of blood that had a sharp metallic taste, but a liquid that felt somewhat refreshing was floating in my mouth.

‘Dean’s practice method.’

A unique practice that dissolves the mana in the air into one’s own body fluids.

Now, the blood in Sejun’s body was swirling around inside his body with a stronger mana than ever before.

In an instant, the pain in my body subsides and my mind becomes as cold as if ice had been put in it.

” Now that I think about it, I don’t think it’s funny. They say they’ll give you a little bit of Ada, but isn’t that something you should be happy about? I recognized her from the time she was holding hands with Muriel or something… ”

fault!

At that moment, Sejun quickly stamped his feet.

Sejun, who flew 20 meters with a single stomp, continues to spur his legs and runs away, once again hiding in the city like before.

─Kaaa

─Shhh!

The voices of the infected people filling the city were heard, but they did not throw much of a stone into Sejun’s heart.

If anyone got in their way, they would hit them with magical fists and then hit them with kicks.

─Kigyeong!

An infected person who was hit by Sejun flew through the air and landed against the wall. The infected person who was hit by a fist containing enough physical force to blow a human being fell down and was unable to get up again.

We don’t know if he’s dead, but he won’t wake up until at least Sejun’s work is finished. No, in fact, even if he was dead, there was nothing to do about it now.

I thought he would come after me right away, but Adramalek didn’t chase Sejun right away.

Is it because he is out of energy, or is it because no matter how hard he tries, it is in his hands?

The latter is probably right. In the literal sense, it means that all the fish were caught.

When I picked up my smartphone, I saw an X on the communication line. It felt like the world had gone to shit and even the base stations had been shut down.

‘Yue!’

Sejun called out to his close friend in his head, but received no response.

Her supernatural ability is one-sided. When she has someone else’s communication line open, she can talk to her first, but when the communication line is closed, there is no use calling her first.

She had been throwing a fit just now, saying she was going to run this way, and seeing that the psychic communication was closed, it seemed like other group members had overpowered her and knocked her out.

It’s a good thing. I feel sorry for her, but even if she joined, nothing would change anymore. Because she is weak.

And while those thoughts continue.

“Ugh!”

A huge flash occurs again and an explosion rang out.

An officetel building on the street in front of Sejun was hit by a black ray, causing an explosion.

Sejun instinctively pulled back and covered his face with his arms to protect himself.

“Are you tired of playing with my father now?”

Sejun quietly looked back and opened his mouth.

Across from there, on the roof of a collapsing house, Adramalek has returned as a black figure and is staring at Sejun.

There was a flash of light again.

‘what.’

I can see everything in my eyes. Although it is described as a flash of light, in reality it was closer to some kind of energy bullet, like Jang Ah-hyun’s supernormal ability.

Of course, it was not the speed of light, which travels seven and a half times around the Earth in one second, and when you look at it, it seemed much slower than the speed at which a fired bullet flies.

Before, it was because I didn’t know about it, but now that I realized what kind of structure it was, I wasn’t as embarrassed as before.

Therefore, it was much easier for Sejun to deal with a flash of light from afar than with Addramalek, who had transformed into his father.

[Take it.]

With Adramalek’s voice ringing in my head, the attack that had previously struck Sejun’s colleagues approaches.

The rays split into dozens or hundreds of rays and rush in all directions.

fault!

Perhaps because I rolled on the floor too hard, the asphalt on the floor crumbled as if I had stepped on thin ice, and the sound of rocks on the roadside being smashed was heard.

The forked flashes I had seen before were different from the rays that shattered the target in a straight line. If it touches somewhere, it explodes and loses its ability to move forward.

And due to the nature of the rays extending in all directions rather than being fired in a straight line, they are not fired equally towards Sejun.

so that.

‘First one!’

Sejun scratches the floor with his longsword, scooping up fragments and scattering them forward.

Quaaaang!

The concrete chunk thrown by Sejun collided with a flash of light flying towards him, erasing the first one.

Next, he strongly kicked one of the wheels sticking out of the broken car, completely erasing the other beam.

And as Sejun twists his body, several beams of light pass by him.

He feels something hot passing through his skin, and part of his clothes become blackened.

It was an incredibly powerful attack.

That’s it.

‘Everyone escaped!’

Quagwagwang! The loud bang sounded again, but Sejun was fine. Before he knew it, his mana was leaking out around him.

It is not a supernatural fire, but pure mana from the bodily fluids that flows out in all directions along with sweat.

That is the level of flare that the Dean spoke of.

The stone fragments that bounced off with the explosion did not cause much damage to him this time.

It was powerful enough to turn an ordinary person into a beehive.

Instead, the bouncing stone fragments turn into powder, as if they were hit by the armor plate of a heavy tank.

[It is right to limit the deviation to this point, Sawni. How can you not realize that your actions are driving the world into destruction?]

‘Heh,’

Sejun snorted slightly.

This is not a miracle. It cannot be a miracle.

Sejun, who had almost lost even the slightest will to resist due to the guy’s overwhelming force until just now, not even 30 minutes had passed, is no longer there.

Once I learned its pattern, I felt a little more confident.

In other words, this is not a miracle. This means that Sejun did not avoid the guy’s attack by relying on luck.

[Han Sejun.]

And the voice echoing in his head again.

However, it was not issued by Adramalek, who is currently located on the other side.

A woman’s familiar voice.

The voice of Jang A-hyeon, the leader of Sejun’s team, echoed in Sejun’s head.

[I’m talking to you with Yue’s help. Can you hear me? I guess he’s not already dead?]

[I’m not dead.]

[Yes, it’s just a joke. I’m looking at you right now, Sejun.]

At those words, Sejun almost reflexively looked around, but managed to calm his neck as he tried to turn around.

There must be a reason why she suddenly spoke to me. Her body was already fatally injured. There must be some reason for returning to that body.

So it wouldn’t be a good decision to reveal her location.

[Well done. I was a little worried because I thought he was looking back.]

[What happened, why did you come back? I was trying so hard to hold your gaze!]

[What are you saying like that? Sejun didn’t intentionally attract attention, that monster just followed Sejun.]

Sejun’s expression as he looked at Adramalek was stiff, but his heart was melting like snow.

As soon as I heard her lively voice, I felt like I was feeling a bit relaxed.

Seeing that he had returned to a respectful tone instead of dropping the honorifics used in battle, it seemed like there was a solution somewhere.

[After listening to that voice, do you think there is any solution? It exists, right?]

[hmm… Honestly, I’m not sure if it will be a solution.]

[Tell me about it.]

Once again, Adramalek’s flash flew towards Sejun, but this time, Sejun avoided the attack by just one point.

I can hear Jang A-hyeon’s voice in my head, as if she was a little impressed by the sight.

[You have already reached the level of flare. As expected, Sejun’s talent is really… .]

[Ah, this just happened to happen. No, what is the solution!]

[That one… .]

Uncharacteristically, she keeps stopping to speak. It seemed like he was trying to keep the conversation going, and I also felt a bit like he was regretting bringing it up.

She looked somewhat strange, unlike the confident woman she always was.

[So, I received a call from my grandfather… .]

[If it’s your grandfather… You mean Chairman Jang Tae-san?]

[yes. I tried contacting the organization but couldn’t get through to them, so I contacted them to ask for help… Um, I mean, grandpa… No, I will talk about this later.]

[…] Okay, I got it first. Then what should I do now?]

Sejun listened, or rather focused his mind, on Jang Ah-hyun, who continued speaking in a slightly uncomfortable tone.

And when Sejun heard the answer, a feeling similar to joy immediately came to mind.

[…] Just stand there quietly. Because they seem to be doing a good job calculating coordinates. So that the monster doesn’t notice.]

Judging by the tone in the words, it seemed like her grandfather had mobilized his private army.

Since world security became a mess, most companies have mobilized private companies such as mercenaries or PMCs to provide personal military force.

It can be said that this is the first time since human civilization became civilized that the current level of force has been needed, whether for the security of trade routes or to block a gate that suddenly pops up at headquarters.

And her group, Taesung Group, is a multinational conglomerate that ranks among the top five in the world.

Of course, there will be many troops operating in Taeseong.

‘Are you trying to snipe me?’

Perhaps they are trying to snipe Adramalek with an anti-materiel sniper rifle from a distance where Jang Ah-hyeon is.

I don’t know if the devil can take damage from bullets, but since magic bullets using magic stones have also been invented these days, Sejun had some expectations.

Even if you can’t handle it, it’s good if you can distract yourself for a moment.

Even though the ownership of private soldiers was unofficially permitted, heavy weapons such as artillery pieces were strictly prohibited, so that was the most Sejun could think of.

Sniping using an anti-materiel sniper rifle. And that alone may be able to cause some damage.

And Sejun, who was thinking about that, soon opened his mouth.

This is because suddenly, with a whooshing sound, something unknown came from the sky and crashed down on Adramalek at incredible speed.

Quaaa!

At that moment, a huge explosion on a different level from Adramalek’s ray occurred,

The heavens and earth shook with a roar I had never heard before, and Sejun’s vision became blurred.

The shock wave generated from the sudden explosion completely took Sejun’s soul.

At that sudden phenomenon, Sejun’s mind wavered for a moment, wondering if the work he had been training until now was meaningless.
