‘It’s nice to see you after a long time.’
I left the task of clearing out the mutants to the Awaken crew, and I held Janey in my arms and looked down at her.
It was almost like something big would happen. If it had been just a little bit later, the camp would have disappeared and Janey would have gone missing, or she would have lost her life here.
It was worth seeing Janey surrounded by mutants with a drone and running with all her might. Power here means the use of physical abilities as well as martial arts and supernatural abilities.
Thanks to this, my clothes were slightly burned here and there.
‘After I became more proficient at using my supernatural ability, I stopped burning my clothes.’
I realized again that there is still a long way to go.
-This woman is Janey.
‘that’s right. Thanks to you, I found it easily.’
I thanked Maria briefly.
If Maria hadn’t piloted the drone, she would have not appeared on time. This was possible thanks to her clever sense in linking part of my vision to a filming drone floating in the air through nanobots.
‘thanks.’
-No, but what should I do if mutants come in like that and even the master turns a blind eye! Even though a filming drone was watching from above!
‘There was no problem with sweeping the surrounding area even without looking. And if you don’t close it, it’ll be awkward.’
I don’t know if Maria can read such complicated brain waves, but anyway, I ignored Maria’s nagging and looked at Janey.
‘Anyway, it looks like you had a lot of trouble.’
She looked up at me with a blank expression on her face, and she looked like she had suffered a lot. From his roughly cut hair to the messy soot on his face.
“It’s been a while.”
At those words, Janey made eye contact with me, was shocked, came to her senses, and buried her face in my chest.
Are you embarrassed to show your face now? It was a pretty cute reaction.
“… Even though I said there was no need to call him senior, I didn’t say it was okay to speak informally.”
I could feel Janey muttering in my chest.
I’ve already seen them all showing happy expressions on their faces, but seeing them speak bluntly out of embarrassment makes me think they’ve definitely been having a hard time.
“Really? Should I be polite again?”
“… it’s okay. I just did it because it seemed a little different.”
I felt a little uncomfortable because my actions were different from the actions of the avatar that moved my body.
The avatar would have remained in this world, and I had traveled to many different places, so it would not have been surprising if there had been a difference in behavior.
Seueueuu
Janey asked as she got out of my arms and looked around.
“Rather than that, what organization did you join hands with? Didn’t you run away to the Kingdom of Halem? Such elite soldiers still remained in the kingdom… It seems like this ability has become stronger too.”
“Hmm… If I were to explain that, the story would be very long. Let’s go to a safe place and then I’ll tell you.”
I comforted Janey, who was pouring out questions, and looked at the surrounding situation.
All the regular mutants around us have been eliminated. The remaining guys were playing with other humans over there.
‘This place is also really messed up.’
-It’s because the owner is so excited.
Maria interrupted my thoughts.
At first glance, it sounded as if she was saying that I was the cause of this situation, but she wasn’t particularly wrong.
From yesterday to this morning. Because I arrived here by catching and killing mutants from the Kingdom of Halem without resting even for a moment.
They literally captured and killed mutants all day long.
-It would have been enough to just deal with the ones that attack in moderation… If they sensed that feeling, they would all be killed.
Just as Maria said, the mutant that I sensed died instantly without being able to approach me due to the heat that made my flesh boil and the martial arts that grinded it like it was in a blender.
From my memories of the avatar, it seems like mutants were the ones who got into trouble even in the military… After a certain point, they stopped attacking me and immediately turned their backs and ran away when they saw me.
-Well, he may have thought that catching the master even with his degenerated intelligence was not cost-effective. Maybe I came to think of my master as a special mutant rather than a human.
‘Write… I don’t know about androids, but being mistaken for a mutant is a bit physiologically unpleasant.’
Perhaps, among the special entities, there were mutants with command abilities, and they were ordering me to avoid them.
If you look at similar apocalypse novels, those guys come out and wipe out the group of survivors.
Anyway, what Maria meant was that I had some share in the current chaos in this camp.
‘But we dealt with a lot of mutants in the process… It’s a bit inconvenient, but wouldn’t it be an extenuating circumstance?’
-It is doubtful whether the neighboring kingdoms will be grateful for the situation that occurred while dealing with the mutants of the Kingdom of Halem…
I had a conversation with Maria about who was responsible, but honestly, I wasn’t that interested in what happened to the other kingdoms.
The reason I came back to Fallen Kingdom was because there was only one person, Janey.
In fact, since we had already found our target, Janey, it didn’t matter if we withdrew like this. There was no particular sense of loyalty to the people of the camp to the point of eliminating all remaining mutants.
However, among the people who attacked this refugee camp, there was a person who I had a debt to repay.
It was a giant mutant.
‘To be exact, it’s a debt owed to my avatar, not me.’
Boom~
With the sound of heavy footsteps, I sensed that it was turning towards us. In fact, if it was that big, you could guess its location just by sound, even without a sense of energy.
As proof of this, Janey, who heard the sound of footsteps getting closer, looked visibly embarrassed.
“You’re right! We need to run somewhere else quickly! The giant mutant is here!”
“Yes, I know.”
“They’re coming this way because they hear a lot of gunshots here! Quickly with my colleagues… ”
“Huhuhu… ”
“?”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Janey’s reaction to her concern for me.
“Wait a minute. I’ll finish it quickly and come back.”
“Minho… !”
“Take care of Janey.”
“Yes.”
I left Janey in the hands of the Awaken team members who were on guard, and flew in the direction of the giant mutant.
I waited for a moment to hear the wind in my ears, and after passing a few tents, I was finally able to see him in person.
Ugh…
Even though it was simply breathing, the sound of the wind could be heard, perhaps because it was so large.
As I got closer, I had to tilt my head up to see the giant mutant’s head. It was truly a size worthy of being called a giant.
If I had dragged on for no reason and the giant mutant’s breath touched my body, I felt like the good feeling I had from discovering Janey would fall into the abyss.
Just like when I dealt with the first mutant I met, I pushed the supernatural ability into my body with all my might. The difference from then is that this time, the power was pushed into both arms rather than fists.
Kuoooo…
Because I was trying to compress my powers as much as possible, no flames leaked out of my arms. However, even though there was no flame, the heat caused the fabric on my arm to burn with a crackling sound.
When the power gathered so strong that it could no longer hold on to the supernatural, light began to leak out from under the skin.
-Something… I feel something big!
Maria, who noticed that another unusual technique was being prepared, made a fuss.
I internally smiled at her reaction and extended both arms towards the top front, toward the giant mutant’s head.
Ugh…
Kwaaa ataaa!
A stream of flame exploded out from both arms with a roar. It quickly reached the face of the giant mutant who had just noticed me.
Ugh… !
The giant mutant’s head was almost as tall as me, but the flames I shot engulfed the upper part of its chin and extended far behind it.
Sighaaa
Due to the recoil of the flame fired from the arm, the foot that had been firmly planted on the ground scraped the ground and was pushed back.
I slowly stopped the fierce flames and lowered my arms.
A giant mutant with only his chin left and the rest of his head seemingly evaporated came into view. The guy stood like that for a moment, then slowly fell backwards.
Kugwagwagwang-!
Because it was so large, just when it fell down, a vibration like a small earthquake rang out.
I wiped off my sleeveless clothes, which had completely burned my arms, and exhaled.
“Phew… It’s hot.”
-… Now that I think about it, I think it would be better to feel the special ability first rather than the inner power!
Maria said nonsense, perhaps because she was tired of the heat.
