See (2) – One Mind Salvation Church Republic of Korea

Toad-du-du-du-duk-

Inari thought it sounded familiar.

A noise similar to the sound of rain hitting an open umbrella on a rainy day.

Tuduk- Tudududududu-

She opened her mouth blankly and stared at the yellow umbrella protecting Minguk.

There, there were black raindrops that were unable to touch the land of the Republic of Korea and ended up crushing them.

Rotten blood flowing down as if covering the entire protective shield.

“Wow- I’m suddenly craving blood seed soup.”

“… … Wow—!”

Even in this crisis situation, Yoon Kang’s joke flows in a gentle tone.

As soon as I heard the word Seonjigukbap, nausea came out automatically.

“… … Now is not the time for jokes like that, Senior Yoon Kang.”

“How are you? When did you call me Yoon Kang and Yoon Kang and then I became your senior again, Nari?”

“… … How long are you going to tease me about that?”

Yoon-kang responds with an even more sly smile to the expression of boredom.

Inari shook his head, clenching and unclenching his hands full of cold sweat.

widely-!

At that moment, light footsteps were heard as they looked up at the shield.

“Ah, brother. Did it go well?”

“… … Yes.”

Yunhyeon nodded, briefly answering Yoonkang’s question.

The second insurance plan that Minguk had prepared since hearing the saint’s prophecy has just passed the vote.

[As of this time, the National Mobilization Act applies to the Republic of Korea!]

[All citizens of the Republic must mobilize all their capabilities to protect the Republic!]

[The capabilities of all citizens participating in the defense increase dramatically and noticeably!]

Maximum efficiency within the range allowed by the system.

Yoon Kang checked his strength stats and nodded.

My vitality naturally surged as my stats increased by about two times from the original.

“… … He said it seemed like it was slowly reaching its limit.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the protective shield at the sound of Yunhyeon’s quietly chanting voice.

Toad-too-doo-to-doo-to-doo-

As the raindrops hit the protective shield, the cracks that were gradually expanding were seen more clearly.

“… … Something is strange.”

A protective shield that clearly shows the end is approaching.

“The fact that the branch leader’s shield collapsed so briefly… … .”

A cool sensation lingering in sweaty hands.

Inari was extremely embarrassed by the feeling of helplessness he felt for the first time since becoming a Holy Knight of the Church of Salvation.

An uncomfortable sensation that has quietly begun to take over a body that was always full and vibrant.

“That’s true when a chick does that. That’s because I’m nervous. If you’re going to go to the bathroom, go there quickly.”

Yoon Kang looked at Inari’s damp hands and let out a laugh.

Inari glared at Yoon Kang with a stern expression and spoke again.

“Senior. You know that this is a very serious situation right now, right?”

“But that doesn’t mean I have to cry like you.”

Yoon-kang continued to look up at the protective shield where the crack was widening with a faint smile lingering on his lips.

“If you had to cry every time like that, my brother and I would have to cry almost every day, you chick.”

Is there anyone who has faced more serious situations than us and the Republic of Korea?

“When facing zombies swarming at Incheon International Airport, when some muscle-massive zombie started crushing my colleagues, and even when the final operation failed due to a zombie trap.”

Still, Flying Zombie crossed the line a bit too far, as you said.

A cheerful face that smiles as if shedding memories she doesn’t want to recall.

Until now, the Republic of Korea has always been a series of worst and most serious situations.

Those who survived had to adapt in their own way.

No, perhaps only those who adapted survived.

Therefore, there was only one piece of advice that Yoon-kang could give to a girl who had never experienced the brutal war of that time.

“Don’t keep too many thoughts in your head.”

Damn it!

The sound of the sky splitting apart can clearly be heard.

Whoa…

Yoon-kang lightly shook his hands and caught his breath and smiled lightly as he looked at the newcomer who was helpless with anxiety.

“Ah― The management of these chicks was originally very inspirational.”

“… … It’s coming.”

Yunhyeon, who had already put his hand on the antique sword, looked up at the sky and whispered.

Damn it!

A crack quickly spreads across the entire shield, as if signaling the end.

Kiiing—!

The sounds of Inari and Paladins moving, belatedly followed by the sounds of the veterans, ring out one after another.

Chae-ae-ae-!

With a sharp roar, the yellow umbrella that gave us time to prepare breaks down.

Yellow petals slowly falling from the sky, like yellow forsythia flowers fluttering.

Everyone’s pupils are filled with a strange and grotesque scene that makes it impossible to take one’s eyes off the scene, even in desperate moments.

chin-!

Inari turned her gaze from looking at the shield fragment at the gesture of a hand tapping her shoulder.

There was Yoon Kang, with the same expression on his face as he was telling a trivial joke.

“Think only about surviving.”

I met his clear eyes with only that thought in mind.

“Let’s go~!”

Pow! Pow!

In an instant, with the wind blowing their bangs, the brothers Yoonhyun and Yoonkang disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage.

Waaa!

The Holy Knights of the Republic of Korea branch, who had the same look in their eyes as the Yoon brothers, followed them.

“Roll over~!”

A welcoming fist aimed at the zombies who were storming into the Republic of Korea, where the shield was broken, along with a cheerful shout.

True to his personality of not liking complicated things, his fists focused solely on power! Torn the air.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-!

A wave of zombies cut in a straight line like an extension of the road.

Before the zombies filled the empty space, light footsteps rushed forward.

Kiiing—!

A blue sword light penetrates the waves and flashes.

“kkieeek―!”

A roar of anger towards the humans fearlessly rushing among them.

However, it was impossible to catch the human who had dug in fearlessly.

Whether you reach out your hand, take a step, or launch your body.

A human greets their attack one step back, as if he had expected it.

The last thing the zombies could see was the sword light shining from his hand.

Suddenly!

A blue blade gently swimming through waves of zombies.

To the zombies who were distracted by that blade-

“You guys too!”

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-!

A violence of irresistible force approaches.

Inari looked at the Minguk brothers ravaging the zombie wave in an instant and stretched his right hand up to the sky.

The left hand gently grasps the wrist as if to assist the right hand.

Kiiing—!

Thanks to someone, I opened an ice umbrella to block the rotten blood that made me think of seonji soup.

Rotten blood splashed onto the ice umbrella, which was either white or blue depending on the reflected light.

Sigh!

Ignoring the creepy sound coming from just above my head, I aimed at the floor this time.

Mana, shining white, manifests the image she had in mind on the floor.

Damn it!

Ice thorns with pointed tips wrapped tightly around her.

puck-! Pow! Pow!

And as if they had been waiting, the corpses of the mutant crash into the ice thorns.

The ice thorns that collided with them shattered on the floor.

Another trap was newly created on the floor.

A few varieties barely survived the ice thorns and pieces scattered on the floor.

A large piece of ice is stuck on their heads as they tremble as if they are convulsing.

Whoa whoa!

The frogs fall to the floor again before they can roar.

Phew— Phew—

Inari took a deep breath as a habit and held her right hand, which was shaking like a tremor, tightly with her left hand.

Forgetting even the sense of helplessness that had been secretly gnawing at my body just moments ago, I think of the only thing Yoon-kang said.

To survive.

Both her and the people.

Kkkk!

The battle of the Holy Knights that the Yoon brothers cannot cover.

Ice spikes were fired to fill the void in the battle.

Pow! Pow!

Is it excitement, tension, or immersion?

The scenery of the battlefield cannot be fully captured in one field of view.

Inari briefly glanced around and searched for paladins who needed help.

Keekeeek!

The number of ice thorns he shot out was so numerous that it was impossible to count them.

You can clearly feel your mana gradually decreasing in proportion to it.

The wave that ate up the mana of the awakened people with regular zombies-

Krraaa!

It announces the official beginning.

Kiiing—!

Steroids were the first to make a splash.

The sharp-edged ice thorn was aimed straight at his face.

chin-!

A steroid that allows you to catch the thorns that previously pierced the heads of zombies with one hand.

The guy snorted and looked at Inari, who was stretching out her right hand in the distance.

“It’s been a while, you bastard!”

At that moment, Yoon-kang rushes in from the square on steroids and hits the floor.

Steroid reacted quickly to the human’s surprise attack and blocked the shortest route to his head with his heavy hand.

However, Yoon Kang stretched out his fist, pulling it back deeply, as if he had not thought about that place in the first place.

Chae-ae-ae-!

The ice thorns shattered by Yoon-kang’s fist with a clear impact sound.

The fragments were caught in the wind pressure and were stuck in the head of the steroid.

Bababababaak!

Ice cubes filled his small head, which did not fit his massive body.

Steroid stopped his short jump and fell to the floor, leaving Yoon Kang behind.

Cooo!

Yoongang let out a roar as he placed the heavy lump of flesh lying on the floor at his feet.

“Get out of my house! You damn bastards!”

A force that destroyed the zombies’ vanguard with a single fist.

A roar filled with mana struck the zombies’ ears.

A wave of zombies stopped charging, as if they were feeling a forgotten fear again.

In the short but very long silence, the zombie wave split before Yoon Kang even stretched out his fist.

Trap – plod –

A white zombie walking out of a zombie wave that has stopped moving.

It was a variant with a sleek appearance that needed no explanation other than that it was white.

Its appearance, which I had never seen before, indicated that it was definitely a new variant, but I couldn’t be sure.

A strange weapon in the hands of a mutant who is slowly leading the zombie wave.

“… … Sword?”

Inari, who was aiming at the guy, asked a dumb question as if she couldn’t believe it.

Zombies and mutants were holding human weapons.

and-

The one who slowly swung the awakeners bowed his head politely, as if he was saying hello.

After greeting the awakened people, whose eyes were almost torn apart by the unbelievable sight, Byun Byung grabbed his sword with both hands as if taking a mid-strength stance.

After that, the gaze was quietly looking at the awakened people without any movement –

“Don’t be so damned, you bastard!”

Yoon Kang, who was closest to the guy, reacted.

An explosive leap that crushed the steroids he was standing on as if torn apart.

The fist that was pulled back toward the new variant was pulsating with tremendous power filled with mana.

Explosive power that will sweep away everything caught in the path of the fist.

Byeon-byeon, who had taken no action as if he could not react to Yoon-kang’s rush, belatedly brought his sword to Yoon-kang’s fist.

chin-!

The sound of the collision was too faint to be said to have collided with a powerful fist.

A deep sense of embarrassment seeped into the eyes of Yoon-kang, who was about to beat Byeon-byeon.

I couldn’t remove the sword.

The sword that grabbed Yoon-kang’s arm like a lever reset Yoon-kang’s path.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-!

A vortex exploded behind a monster that was not the intended variant.

Once again, the wind pressure that cut straight through the zombie wave made me break into a cold sweat.

Yoon-kang, who had changed the target of the attack like a stream, hurriedly turned his back.

A sword light flashes in Yoon-kang’s pupils as he encounters Byun-byeong again.

Before he knew it, Byun Byun was holding the sword backwards and stabbing it towards Yoon-kang’s neck.

Cheaeng-!

A blue blade that rides on such a variant sword.

Yoon Hyeon, who quickly filled in Yoon Kang’s gap, changes his sword path as if to repay the guy.

“Gang-a—!”

As if riding the waves rather than against them-

Yunhyeon raises a variant sword upward.

Thanks to this, Yoon Kang’s eyes are filled with Byun Byeon’s wide open upper body.

“Saaa her she one her her this one her her her her?

Teeth clenched while spitting out harsh swear words.

Crackling – I punch my fist again, hearing the sound of my teeth grinding against each other.

I’m so excited!

However, the mutant lightly waved his arms as if shaking them and spun the sword in his hand once.

The posture changed from middle posture to correct upper posture in an instant.

visor-! visor-! visor-!

A variant sword that struck down Yunhyeon’s sword several times in that short moment.

Yunhyeon’s sword blade was twisted with sparks flying violently in all directions.

“Keuuuch―!”

Yunhyeon’s sword and Yoonkang’s fist are naturally on the verge of colliding with each other.

Yoon-kang clenched his teeth so hard that blood burst between his lips and twisted his fist to the left to avoid the sword.

Ka-ga-ga-ga-!

Once again, the wind pressure blows in a completely unexpected place.

The brothers swayed in the aftermath of their sudden change of posture.

Just before their bodies became entangled, the cold blade of a sword flashed in their pupils.

Kiiing—!

At that moment, the ice thorn aimed at the mutant’s head was instantly shot at the mutant’s head.

The mutant turned his head towards the thorn and held out his sword.

chin-!

The very faint sound of the collision echoes again.

As if performing a magical trick, Byun Byun whirled the sword holding the ice thorn in a circle, sending the ice thorn flying in the air toward the Yoon brothers.

and-

I hit the ice thorn towards the sword’s stomach.

Chae-ae-ae-!

Ice thorns that shatter upon heavy impact.

Ice fragments caught in the sword wind were shot at the Yoon brothers like grenades.

Pabababak!

Yoon Kang quickly covered up Yoon Hyeon and took a defensive stance, protecting his head.

Ice fragments hit the forearm protecting the head.

“… … Hehehe—!”

In the end, the brothers rolled around on the floor side by side.

The Yoon brothers quickly get up from rolling on the floor, kicking up dust.

“… … Thrive―.”

thud-!

However, Yoon-kang, who put his arms on the floor to stand up, fell down on the floor again.

Red blood seeping out from the hole-filled forearm.

Yoon-hyeon stands in front of Yoon-kang, who has quickly fallen to the floor, as if to protect him.

He held the antique sword tightly with a stern expression and glared at the unknown variant.

However, the bastard did not attack the Yun brothers right away.

────.

Just like the first time-

A variant that holds its swords together in a quiet, halting stance.

With a pure white and smooth white appearance-

A sword technique that can only be described as soft yet strong, yet sturdy and solid.

In an illusion as if he was seeing the sword itself, he broke the pause and stretched out the sword.

The guy looked at the Yoon brothers and stretched out his left hand, which was not holding a sword.

And he lifted his outstretched hand twice.

“… … .”

As if telling me to attack again.
