Chapter Index

    -Monster, monster…

    “… … .”

    From Detective Branco’s earpiece, the voice of a soldier who narrowly escaped being turned into a human rat was heard muttering.

    ‘It’s a monster… ‘

    Detective Branco also had no choice but to agree.

    When an unidentified android suddenly walked alone into the middle of the square, he summoned the remnants of Awaken in an unknown way.

    It seemed as if it appeared out of thin air, but when you think about it with common sense, it is absurd. He probably hid in the basement of the plaza using some method beforehand, then came up after receiving a signal from that android standing on the ground.

    I don’t know where they got it from, but they were even using what appeared to be battle suits and riot gear worn by Elysion police.

    Then, the unidentified android, whom the military officer called Destroyer, knocked down the military combat robot with a single sharp sword.

    Thinking about that, Detective Branco felt a shiver run down his spine.

    What terrible thing would have happened if an evacuation order had not been issued to the area based on the information obtained from Blair?

    We may not know it, but countless innocent citizens would have been sacrificed. There was no way ordinary citizens could properly respond to the android terrorist group that suddenly appeared in the basement of the square.

    ‘I don’t know who that double agent android was, but he did a great job.’

    It was an idea that Detective Branco could do because he didn’t know that the unidentified android who had committed the crazy act of cutting off the two legs of a military combat robot with a sword in front of him was the same double agent.

    Thanks to Minho’s handling of the military combat robot, the machine gun that was hitting the bulletproof shield stopped working.

    Ting~! T-di-di-ding-!

    Minho pointed the blade of his sword at the line of fire aimed at him and deflected the flying bullet. Because Maria marked a red line in his vision, it was so easy that he yawned.

    Of course, every time the cheerful sound of a bullet ricocheting rang out, Detective Branco’s eyes grew bigger and bigger.

    “What kind of crazy person created an android like that… ?”

    At the same time as Detective Branco muttered softly, Minho grumbled.

    “Tsk. Does this sword end here?”

    Is it because of the power of the bullets used by the military? Even if the angle at which the bullet bounced off was slightly wrong, the sword was severely damaged. There was also the fault of not injecting internal energy as it was simply an act of blocking bullets.

    The soldiers who were crushed by the combat robots were able to save their lives thanks to the battle suits, but were unable to get up right away due to the weight of the multi-ton body.

    And Minho wasn’t so gentle that he waited for the enemy lying on the floor to wake up, saying, ‘Please kill me.’

    Puuu

    “Keuuu… ”

    By infusing energy into the sword, which had teeth coming out here and there and scars from bullets, he harvested the lives of fallen soldiers.

    Sigh!

    Finally, Minho, who plunged his sword into the soldier who called him a monster, took out a pistol-type superweapon from his inventory again.

    The sword was gradually damaged by gunfire, and the soldiers, who were happy to see Minho finally let go of the sword, were embarrassed to see the weapon keep disappearing and reappearing.

    But there are courageous people everywhere.

    A soldier shouted bravely.

    “Well, since I don’t have a sword, I won’t be able to block the gun anymore! Everyone fire!”

    Too doo doo doo!

    “Sorry, but this pistol is harder than that sword.”

    Minho dodged bullets that could be avoided by simply twisting his body by moving his body, and only fired attacks that were difficult to avoid by targeting the center of his body with a pistol.

    Tiding! Ting!

    “What… !”

    The soldiers, who could not have guessed that the pistol Minho took out was made of an imaginary mineral called Starlight, despaired that their weapons did not work on not only swords but also pistols.

    However, once an order is given, it is the soldier’s destiny to complete it. Even though they knew it wouldn’t work, they had no choice but to pull the trigger until all the magazines they had were depleted and their fingers were blood-curdling.

    Tung—! Tudung—!

    bang–!

    “Ugh!”

    He deflects flying bullets with the barrel of a pistol and at the same time kicks away rolling grenades with his feet.

    When the soldiers’ firing slows down due to a counterattack, they pick up their fallen comrade next to them as a shield in their left hand and launch a counterattack.

    The weight of an adult male wearing a military battle suit was not something a human could lift with one hand, but with a body as strong as Minho’s, that much armament was like a light accessory.

    No matter how tough the combat uniform or battle suit is, it has a superhuman body that feels as light as training clothes.

    Minho stayed in one place and did not give the soldiers time to focus their fire.

    It was as if he alone was operating in a different gravitational force, and once he hit the ground, he appeared in a different place at some point.

    Blame it

    Minho kicked off the floor again and flew up. A height that far exceeds the height of the soldiers standing at the front.

    The soldiers raised their heads at the sight of Minho disappearing into the sky in an instant. And then they made eye contact with Minho, who was lying in the air and pointing a pistol at them.

    Tung! Too doo doo!

    The soldiers all had holes in their foreheads, accompanied by the heavy sound of shining bullets being fired.

    The morale of the people gradually sank as they saw Minho performing tricks and dealing with the soldiers as if he were playing a game.

    An enemy that does not take any damage no matter how much you shoot, and even uses an incredibly powerful weapon whose identity is unknown.

    Now their opponent seemed almost like an alien rather than an android.

    Detective Branco looked away from the gruesome scene and towards the other Awaken remnants.

    They appeared to have captured friendly equipment and were unable to move properly due to the police’s suppressing fire.

    But that’s it.

    The specs of the equipment it had were inferior to those of the military, but the pilot itself was not human. This meant that the basic hardware itself was stronger than that of humans.

    The police force was unable to support the military as they were trying to keep them from showing their heads.

    “If you take your time and pour in all your firepower, you may be able to subdue it… ”

    It was clear that it would be much faster for all the soldiers to be annihilated by Minho than that.

    ‘If this situation continues, we will eventually lose. There is nothing we can do even if damage is done to surrounding facilities. We have to use EMP weapons for this.’

    Due to its special nature, the use of EMP weapons required permission from the field commander. If used arbitrarily, not only nearby facilities but also friendly troops could suffer damage.

    As soon as Detective Branco made the calculation, he connected the communication to the military officer and shouted.

    “What are you doing! All your men are dying! Please allow the use of EMP weapons immediately!”

    -No, EMP weapons don’t work on that guy. At least it’s impossible with small-scale weapons. Instead, there is something prepared for this time.

    “Ready… ? Even after looking at my dying subordinates, I said that… !”

    EMP weapons don’t work on androids? Even the android called Destroyer, unlike the other Awaken remnants, did not seem to be equipped with any additional protective equipment, judging from its body shape and movements.

    It was absurd nonsense to hear from Detective Branco, who did not know the process of the previous secret hideout attack operation.

    The moment when Detective Branco gets angry at the officer’s dull voice and is about to respond.

    The air around became heavy.

    Huuung———

    A strange sound coming from the sky through the sound of rain.

    Detective Branco noticed that the rain that had been hitting his head had disappeared and he looked up.

    “That… !”

    A military transport plane heavy enough to occupy a corner of the square was floating in the sky.

    The battle entered a lull for a moment due to its majestic appearance. Even Minho put away his pistol for a moment to see what he was thinking.

    Soon, an object fell from the transport plane.

    thud! thud! thud! thud!

    Four objects landed with footprints on the hard stone floor of the square.

    Busss…

    Those who got up from the impact of the fall were none other than combat androids. However, unlike other combat androids, it had a somewhat bizarre appearance with three legs and four arms.

    Detective Branco was staring blankly at this, and an officer’s proud voice came from his earpiece.

    -It’s a new model developed by researchers by imitating the Destroyer’s movements. Due to lack of time, we were only able to create four units using the existing frames, but if our calculations are correct, the Destroyer is finished with just two units.
