Day when the sun sets (1) ― World Central Castle Entrance

“Lord of Seong—! Lord of Seong—!”

As soon as the suspicious man’s declaration of war was over, JoongAngseong rushed over.

Hyeseong Lee opened her eyes wide and quickly scanned the shouting guild leaders and citizens near the central castle.

The citizens of the world gather at the castle entrance without any orders.

Even though the area was completely saturated with no room to move, more and more citizens were flocking to the central city one after another.

“Lord of Seong—! The situation is a little too strange―”

As soon as we got to the area where adventurers seemed to be gathered, all the guild leaders started shouting.

Seongju quietly raised his hand to cover their mouths and then carefully looked at the entrance again.

Adventurers who were already fully armed and laborers holding each other’s hands with trembling hands.

Merchants in the downtown area looking at the sky with anxious expressions, and tavern owners with their ears pressed to the ground with their eyes wide as if torn apart.

All citizens of the world, regardless of whether they were combatants or non-combatants, were gathered in the central castle.

The reason there were no escapees in this chaotic situation was not because they loved the world or because they were loyal to the castle owner himself by sacrificing their lives.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

The rumbling of the ground is clearly felt as it gets closer and closer.

Kkkk!

This was because there was no place to run away from the howling that echoed from all directions as if echoing through the cave of Seoul.

Their last support is-

“Lord of Seong!”

Because he is their ruler.

Hyesung Lee looked around at all the adventurers who were whispering to each other with anxious eyes.

Strong acid and inspiration.

The two faces he was looking for seemed to have already left the world as expected.

A suspicious man whom I had never seen before quickly left the world even though he was in the midst of making a strange declaration of war… … .

no-

Since such a strange situation unfolded, they must have been even more desperate to escape the world.

If I had known that this situation would unfold, I would not have let Kang San live like that.

A new enemy suddenly appears.

Thanks to that man, all parts of the plan were going wrong at the same time.

Like dominoes, all the plans he had put so much effort into were falling apart.

The strategy that I had been agonizing over all day was practically on the verge of failure.

no-

[2, Survive.]

In fact, we had already seen the message announcing the failure of the attack.

“Lord of Seong—! No time to worry like that-”

“… … Cherry Blossom Guild Leader.”

The citizens’ fear and the adventurers’ confusion were already ringing loudly in my ears.

And the guild leaders who were busy urging people right next to them, and the sense of desperation and embarrassment at the sudden failure of the attack.

Hyeseong Lee desperately suppressed the swearing and anger that came from deep inside her heart.

I could barely make out a small smile as I watched the Cherry Blossom Guild Leader swallow his saliva at the soft call.

“Can you please be quiet for a moment?”

“… … Yes, Lord Seong.”

An unidentified man who newly appeared as soon as the leader of the Salvation Church was driven into a trap called ‘return’.

Perhaps that man is the ‘enemy’ the cult leader and chieftain were talking about.

Yes – I knew for sure that the enemy was coming.

So, the cult leader must have come here himself to save his life and use his city, World.

However, the size of the enemy is bigger than expected.

Even if only half of what he said as he looked down at the leader of the Salvation Church was true-

Kkkk!

No, there was already clear evidence blaring loudly in the world, so the man’s words were probably true and not bluff.

In Korea, everyone except Seoul has become a zombie and is coming here?

The siren in my head that alerts me to danger just by thinking about it fires loudly.

In a moment of crisis like this, I could no longer blame the irony and exquisiteness of the situation.

Because tomorrow, the person who laughed at the religious leader he lived with cannot be trapped in the past.

Just start the attack again from the beginning.

What should I do?

How can we win in this imminent crisis?

[2, Survive.]

What actions can be a strategy for survival?

Should I just run away like this without looking back?

Should he leave the world and Seoul, where he is based, and temporarily avoid that unidentified threat?

But, it was already too late to run away like that.

He had already forced the salvation cult leader into the theme of return.

There is a high probability that the Salvation Cult leader will fail to return, and if he returns, the Bed ending will be reserved anyway.

Even if the Salvation Cult leader is lucky and succeeds in returning, the chances of me defeating an unidentified enemy, having abandoned my entire base and run away, will be very slim.

okay.

The outline hasn’t changed much.

Destroy all of its foundations until the Salvation Cult leader wakes up-

A time attack where the guy must take hostage the figures that are trembling for fear of losing them.

It’s just that another unexpected fake boss appeared in the time attack.

Whoa…

Seongju took a deep breath and reorganized the complicated strategy.

I do not run out of Seoul to avoid immediate threats.

In any case, the target that the unidentified enemy has firmly locked on to is the ‘One Mind Salvation Church.’

If you think about it, his and his goals were the same.

“Going to Salvation Church.”

“… … Yes?”

“Our world boards the train right now and joins the Salvation Church.”

To catch a tiger, you must go to the tiger’s den.

I had to watch the bloody battle between enemy and enemy closely and estimate the optimal timing again.

The perfect time to destroy the Salvation Church and kill the fake boss.

He is returning the Lee J. that Han Gu-won tried to do to his city.

Of course, in this case, Kang San and Young Yeong, who ran away first, became very annoying, but that is a problem for later.

In addition, he was confident that he could control the Salvation Church without its leader, and even more so, the Salvation Church, which was being carpet bombed by an unidentified enemy.

“What are you doing when you’re not moving? Right now everything—”

The castle lord turned his head to the guild leaders who did not budge even though he clearly gave them an order, and quietly closed his mouth.

All the citizens of the world were staring blankly at the sky.

Shadows slowly spread across the face of the Cherry Blossom Guild Leader, who was busy urging his orders.

Darkness begins to gradually cover the face starting from the neck.

The moment the shadow covered the quivering pupils of the Cherry Blossom Guild Leader, Seongju also turned his gaze towards the sky.

Slowly, very slowly, dark clouds obscure the blue sky and bright sunlight.

No, something that looked like a dark cloud was hanging in front of the sun that brightened the day.

Seongju frowned urgently and followed the sky more closely.

and-

I slowly opened my mouth.

“… … .”

Black dots gathered together like dark clouds were flying, holding something.

Rotten wings with holes in them, as if they had been eaten by a rat, and a body that looked like it had been rotting for quite some time.

A zombie he knew well was flying, carrying a zombie with abnormally developed thighs.

no-

Something that appeared to be a new variant had reached the skies of the world carrying Frog.

Zombie Wave.

However, the wave in the sky, not on the ground-

A wave covering the sky was above their heads.

Even the sun cannot shed light—

The height of irrationality that turns midday into midnight at once.

It’s similar to how he slit the necks of all the zombies lined up in the supermarket with a single wave of his hand.

A wave of unfathomable power.

Seongju screamed as he witnessed the mutant who was covering the sky like a dark cloud loosen his grip on Frog.

“Everyone ready for battle!”

Black rain is falling from black storm clouds.

Seongju shouted in a tearful voice at the adventurers who were staring blankly at the sky.

“Come to your senses, you bastards! Those with long-distance skills should line up in the front right now! Right now!”

While the castle lord was shouting at the adventurers at the top of his voice, the first black rain fell on the ground.

A frog was unable to overcome the high altitude and fell to the ground in a struggling motion.

Fuwaaa!

The frog was immediately crushed with a horrifying bursting sound, with rotten blood spraying everywhere.

Puhwaaa!

Around the area where the first frog landed, rainwater began to fall – black rain began to fall.

Seongju bit his lip when he saw the rotten blood and flesh being sprayed by the frogs who had failed to fall.

The debris scattered everywhere began to block the path from the entrance to the train platform.

Fuhuaaa!

As the rotten flesh of frogs who failed to land piled up, the number of frogs who succeeded in landing gradually increased.

“Kkisss—!”

Frogs pulling their thighs, raising their half-broken bodies grotesquely.

Seongju, who was looking at them, hurriedly pointed at them with the tip of his rusty iron sword and shouted.

“Basaaaa—!”

Kiiing—!

The adventurers, who managed to escape embarrassment thanks to the castle lord’s lead, quickly developed mana.

As he said, those with long-distance skills lined up in the front row stretched out their right hands and aimed at Frog.

Grumbling!

A flame appeared at the tip of the first adventurer’s finger, and a stream of water and an ice pick shot out as if chasing the flame.

The adventurers’ long-distance skills immediately enveloped the Frogs, who had not yet recovered from the shock of the fall.

“Kkisss—!”

A howling full of pain made by frogs hit by a skill.

But-

Fuwaaa!

Using the frogs struggling in pain as a stepping stone, more frogs land on the ground.

Kiii-

“Big black―!”

The entire bodies of those with long-distance skills blinked as they saw a bizarre and shocking sight.

A sign that tells the whole body that mana is becoming increasingly scarce.

Seongju, who was looking at that scene, turned his head to the side and shouted.

“Cherry blossoms!”

“Yes!”

The Cherry Blossom Guild Leader, who immediately jumped forward upon hearing the castle lord’s name, stretched out both hands towards the adventurers who were casting skills.

Kiiing—!

The orange mana that filled his entire body gently seeped into the long-distance skills cast by adventurers.

The orange-colored flames of the Cherry Blossom Guild Leader shine brighter and engulf the Frogs.

The stream of water shot in a straighter line and the ice pick shone brighter.

“Kkisss—!”

The frogs began to howl in pain again.

Seongju shouted as he threw the mana recovery potion that was overflowing in his inventory at the other guild leaders.

“Other guild leaders provide mana potions for them! Move quickly, quickly!”

Seeing the guild leaders who quickly started running at his name, Seongju gazed at the sky.

The mutants that had covered the sky were slowly passing by the world like real dark clouds.

As the sunlight gets brighter, the frogs blocking the path to the platform become more visible.

Their corpses and flesh were already piled up like a kind of shield.

And the skills of the long-distance adventurers who are diligently destroying their remains.

Kiiing!

Adventurers who cast skills as if squeezing out mana hurriedly drink mana potions given to them by other adventurers-

During that time, another adventurer who had completed recovery in advance resumed casting the skill.

Is it because of their hard work?

“Kkisss—!”

As the black rain gradually became lighter, the howling of the frogs who were struggling in pain also became lighter.

and-

Fuuuuk!

A large ice pick pierced the head of the last visible frog.
