Episode 127 [ Promise (6) ]
The monster struggled, spraying dark red blood everywhere. A gust of wind blew and rocks were thrown around.
Although one of its wings was cut off and it could not fly, it seemed like no other being could stick around the monster.
One wing was cut off, but the characteristics of a monster bird remained.
But Gyeong-Hoon had already arrived next to the monster.
There was a typhoon blowing that uprooted trees, but his feet remained firmly on the ground.
A technique called ‘Cheongeunchu’ was tying his body to the ground.
Gyeong-Hoon held a huge sword and filled it with mana.
Although it was not as good as the Samjeonggeom, the greatsword with the mana stone gained strength thanks to Gyeonghun’s mana.
A large rock flew towards Kyung-hoon, who was gathering his wits.
bang!
The stone hit Kyung-hoon, but was blocked by the translucent shield and shattered.
The broken stones were caught in the typhoon again and flew into the sky.
Although rocks disturbed his vision, Kyung-hoon did not lose focus.
The sword was engulfed in blue light.
However, the mana stone embedded in the sword gradually began to lose its shine.
It was different from Samjeonggeom. The sword Omar made has not yet received all of Kyung-Hoon’s mana.
Gyeonghoon swung his sword.
Buuuuung.
It was like chopping a huge tree with an axe.
In front of Gyeonghun was the bridge of a monster.
Pow!
The great sword was stuck in the monster’s leg. The strengthened great sword was able to cut off half of the monster’s leg.
Pugh!
Blood poured out like a fountain from where the great sword was stuck.
Kuoooooo!
The monster was so startled that it ran wild.
But there was no way he could run around with his half-cut legs.
Kuweweweak!
The monster, which was screaming every time it took a step, fell down hard.
Quaaaang!
The monster fell and hit its head on the wall of the laboratory. One wall of the laboratory collapsed.
Kyung-hoon looked horrified, but he couldn’t stop there.
Gyeong-Hoon pulled out another great sword from his backpack and ran towards the monster.
It had to end here.
The monster that fell struggled to get up, and the lab became even more of a mess.
However, the severed wings and legs and the trees surrounding the laboratory made it difficult for the monster to rise again.
Gyeong-Hoon broke several of the great swords and cut off both of the monster’s legs.
Kueh!
The monster screamed towards the sky.
While the monster was screaming, the robot was approaching the monster’s chest.
Ugh.
The Samjeonggeom was shaking in a pale light.
Fuuuuuck.
The sword entered the monster’s chest.
The monster tried to twist his body, but after destroying the building, his body was tangled in the roots and branches of the tree.
After the sword was pushed all the way in, the newly attached mechanical hand moved forward.
The ordinary hand changed its appearance. The fingers became longer and the blades protruded.
The pattern surrounding the mechanical hand glowed.
Weeeeing.
The hand started spinning like a drill.
The robot pushed its rotating hand into the place where the sword was stuck.
Gya gya gya gya.
With the sound of a drill drilling through stone, a mechanical hand began to penetrate the monster’s chest.
Although he referred to himself as a human-like AI and was trying to resemble a cowboy, he was created as a combat robot to fight monsters.
His entire body was optimized for combat.
But he didn’t care. I was just grateful that my body allowed me to do what I wanted.
Weeeeeeeee.
The arm continued to push inward. I pushed it all the way to my shoulder, but I haven’t reached my goal yet.
puck.
At that moment, the drilled hand separated from the arm.
Gya gya gya gya.
The mechanical hand, connected to the arm and wire, continued to move forward.
The wire attached to the hand continued to grow longer, connecting the separated arm and hand.
I was still worried, but fortunately it moved well.
The drilled hand kept going. And it arrived next to the heart of the monster.
The pounding
drill stopped.
Kuehhh!
The monster shook its body like crazy.
The trees that were standing in the way were blown apart and the remaining walls were shattered.
The robot also fluttered wildly as the monster moved.
But the robot didn’t fall off.
He just held on to the embedded Samjeongsword with his other hand and continued to control it with his other hand.
Suddenly.
The mechanical hand that entered the monster’s body grabbed what it wanted.
The monster’s eyes widened. And the light disappeared from my eyes.
Wow.
The rampaging monsters became quiet. The raging typhoon subsided.
The monster is dead.
Jiyiing.
A wire attached to the arm pulled a mechanical hand.
Clap.
Soon the mechanical hand was attached to the arm again. The robot pulled out its arm from the monster’s body.
He held a large jewel in his hand. It was the monster’s mana stone.
“That’s amazing.”
A tired voice came from the monster’s legs. It was Gyeong-hoon who broke several of the mana stones of the great sword.
He was leaning against a half-collapsed pillar and trying to catch his breath.
Thanks to defeating monsters and monsters, mana was gathering like crazy.
The robot shook its head at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“You are greater.”
In any case, he was only the final decoration. Bringing the weapon and defeating the monster were all done by the human Gyeong-Hoon.
Shane threw the mana stone to Kyunghoon.
“Hide it well.”
Kyunghoon nodded at his words.
Mana stones were objects that monsters were fascinated by. If you just put it out there and carry it around, you will only end up ignorantly enticing monsters.
Gyeonghoon put the mana stone into his backpack.
“Is it almost over?”
In response to Kyung-hoon’s question, Shane turned his head to the south.
A dead city lay spread out.
“well?”
After catching his breath, Kyunghoon approached Shane. he asked again.
“How about we go together?”
There was still time left to travel between dimensions, but Kyung-hoon’s question was not just about leaving this place.
Shane looked around.
The laboratory was now half-ruined.
Strangely, the pillar of the front door that Kyung-hoon was leaning against remained, but it also had cracks all over it.
The place that had been his home for a long time was now unrecognizable.
And the person I met after a long time was not someone I had to protect.
It was a ruined world, but there were humans and AI that seemed fun to travel around with.
but.
He put his hand on his chest.
The mana stone was getting darker.
It was the moment when he was silent for a moment and was about to answer Kyung-hoon.
Buuuuuuu.
The air trembled greatly.
A heavy tremor echoed from the city.
And the vibration became a slow sound that echoed throughout the city.
[person. liver. this. Yes. B.]
It wasn’t in Korean or English, but I could understand what it meant.
“Is he awake?”
Suppressed emotions came out in the robot’s voice.
Kwagwagwagwagwa.
Dust rose from the city center. And the buildings began to collapse.
And then a giant maggot-shaped monster broke through the collapsing buildings and came to the ground.
Buuuuuung.
It was huge.
It seemed like several high-rise buildings were lying together.
“What is that again?”
“The monarchy of Daegu. “Let’s run away.”
“yes?”
“That guy is really lazy. Even though he knew I was here, he left me because he was too lazy. If a guy like that makes a move, there’s going to be an uproar.
The robot quickly ran into the ruined building.
Kyung-hoon looked puzzled.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
– Wouldn’t it be better to follow along first?
Eve was right.
He also followed the robot down the building.
The monarch came to the ground and began to cross the city.
Quaguaguagua.
Numerous monsters followed the monarch.
The building collapsed and monsters ran wild.
It felt like a huge disaster was approaching.
*
Fortunately, the basement floors were not damaged much.
Instead of heading straight to the parking lot, Shane went to the third basement level. He passed through the laboratory and headed to his sleeping room.
There were still posters on the walls, but Shane didn’t pay any attention to them.
He ripped off the cabinet door in the corner.
Inside were rows of corporate magnetic tapes.
“Put all the tapes here. This is the lab’s backup data. “I left it out just in case, but it turned out well.”
Kyung-hoon followed behind, opened his backpack and swept out the tapes.
Although it was more than ten years old, it still looked good because it was a tape.
I was worried about how to get the materials, but it turned out to be a useless worry.
And the two went downstairs. The robot didn’t even look back.
The parking lot wasn’t much different from when Kyunghoon came.
However, the plywood covering the wall fell due to the impact.
‘Cave and bomb ship?’
Behind the plywood, there were small caves that could barely be crawled through. And in that cave, there were bandits connected to each other.
It was not a cave where people could go. It looked like a cave where something had been worked on.
But it was no time to pay attention to that cave.
The walls and floor began to vibrate. Monsters were approaching.
“Take this too and give me one gun. After all, a knife doesn’t fit.”
Before entering the cave, the robot handed Gyeonghoon the Samjeonggeom.
I was a little puzzled because he said it when he was in a hurry, but Kyung-hoon took the sword and took out a gun and a cape from his backpack.
“That cloak is made from Gold One cocoons, right? It will be worn out and have little effect. “Write this.”
What Kyung-hoon gave me was a cloak dyed black.
The robot looked at his old cloak. At first, the cloak was shining golden, but now it had turned yellowish brown.
He took off his tattered cape and tied the cape that Kyung-hoon had given him around his neck.
“Take this too. I gave it to Eve because I thought she might need it. And in it, I wrote down a place to meet if we ever break up.
[It’s a gift.]
Hearing the word “gift,” he checked the item Kyung-hoon had thrown.
It was something that looked like a small thermos. I wanted to check it out, but didn’t have time. He put an iron bottle in his pocket.
The two went into the cave.
I really didn’t have time. Dirt continued to pour from the ceiling of the cave. This cave didn’t seem safe either.
“Run!’’
At the robot’s words, Kyung-hoon ran forward.
Gyeonghoon ran tens of meters in an instant. But there was no sound of following.
He quickly looked back.
The robot stopped at the entrance to the cave. The robot did not follow.
Kyung-hoon quickly stopped walking and shouted at the robot.
“What’s wrong?”
The robot shook its head.
“It’s old, so it doesn’t move that fast.”
“Then I will set the pace.”
The robot touched the wall.
“No, it’s impossible to run away until they come. “I’ll just be a burden.”
“Then, if I carry it…”
Kyung-hoon leaned down as he spoke. If I had to, I was thinking of running to the robot.
But the robot was faster.
As the robot pressed hard against one wall, the cave ceiling began to collapse.
Quagwagwagwang.
From the entrance, it continued to collapse towards where Kyung-hoon was.
“Crazy robot! “You even lie to people?”
I was worried about what had happened before, but I had no idea that AI would even lie.
-We need to escape. If you hesitate, you will be buried in the cave.
“Damn, if I had known this would happen, I would have broken my limbs!”
Kyung-hoon shouted with an angry face.
But he had no choice but to turn around. It was already collapsing right before our eyes.
Kyung-hoon gritted his teeth and continued running. The cave continued to collapse behind him.
*
Kugugugung.
The robot stepped back and looked at the collapsing cave.
Honestly, I wanted to follow him too.
But I couldn’t keep up.
He turned around.
The ground continued to shake.
It seemed like the basement wouldn’t last much longer.
3rd floor underground. The laboratory where he was created and where the sequels were made were cracked everywhere.
This floor is underground. The place where military robots were made has now lost its original appearance.
And the first basement level. Finally, the ground.
Suddenly, the vibration stopped.
He looked out.
There was no sky visible outside the laboratory. A huge lump of flesh filled my field of vision.
Before we knew it, the ruler of Daegu had arrived in front of the research institute.
He walked towards the front door.
“long time no see.”
Standing next to the last remaining pillar of the main gate, he waved at the Lord of Flesh.
[Humans are. Where am I?]
The air vibrated. The new cloak trembled even though there was no wind.
“I don’t know either.”
[dare. toy. Topic]
This time, not only the cloak but also his body trembled.
Crumbling.
At the same time, all the monsters that were with the monarch growled.
Hundreds of monsters were waiting for their master’s orders.
Shane looked up at the Flesh Lord.
The monarch seemed very angry.
It was as if the ants living in the anthill left in the corner of the yard had bitten and killed the neighbor’s dog that came to play.
There was no way the landlord wouldn’t be angry.
[you. Good job. humans. find. I will eat it. my. Now B. What a disrespectful comment. Take it.]
At the monarch’s words, the robot raised its fist.
“Do you think I came here to crush you?”
But the monarch did not listen to him.
Buuuu!
The monarch made a characteristic crying sound.
Kaaaaagh!
Small flesh monsters began rushing towards the collapsed laboratory.
Hundreds of monsters invaded the laboratory.
But the robot didn’t see the approaching monster. He just held on to the sign that was still holding up with his hand.
[Daegu New Technology Research Institute]
He tore down the sign that had been hanging for a long time.
When the sign fell, there was a hole behind it.
He took out a mana explosive from his belt. There was only one mana explosive left.
He lit the mana explosive. And threw it into the hole.
After throwing the mana explosive, the robot looked at the monarch.
“I also prepared for a long time.”
Pajijijik.
The mana charge went down the hole and ignited the bomber.
The dopok ship burned down in an instant. No, they exploded at the same time.
Quaaaaaaaaa!!
The tunnel created throughout the cave and the explosives buried within it exploded at the same time.
The explosives field that had taken ten years to build exploded in an instant.
Flames rose from the ground and fireballs rose.
It seemed as if the entire garden was engulfed in fire.
It wasn’t a mana explosive, but it was a very strong explosion.
The monsters were screaming and dying, and the monarch’s entire body was on fire.
[yes. Yes, you.]
The monarch rolled on the ground, screaming.
But the more it happened, the more the monarch’s body became engulfed in flames.
So the monarch continued to run away to Daegu City, and the garden was engulfed in flames and began to collapse.
Rumbling.
The research center and the trees surrounding it were all engulfed in flames and collapsed.
The garden continued to burn for more than a day.
Time passed like that.
The fire that seemed to burn forever eventually went out.
The garden was full of black ash.
The monarch who had destroyed the city was no longer seen.
He crawled back into the ground to heal his body.
Most of the monsters that plagued Daegu have disappeared.
The shape of the garden also changed.
The hill sank several meters deep, and only black, charred remains remained where the research center was located.
Gyeong-hoon, who had been running as soon as the fire went out, searched through the wreckage for a long time and eventually had no choice but to return to his own world.
Now, only the sound of the wind passed through the garden.
However, a small sound began to be heard through the wind.
Clang.
It was the sound of something breaking through.
Along with that, the black debris shook little by little.
The sound grew louder.
And
puaaaaaaa!
A drill protruded through the remains of the laboratory.
Then, a robot wearing an old cloak came out of the wreckage.
It was a robot whose entire surface had turned black.
The robot looked down at its own chest.
A mana stone was moving vigorously inside the half-open chest.
The robot closed its chest cover and lifted the steel bottle in its hand.
Inside the bottle was a small note.
[This is a mana shielding bottle. I placed the Big Salurus Mana Stone inside. Eve said it might be time to change the mana stone.
You can change it when you are in a hurry. And if you ever break up, come to Busan. This is our destination.]
He looked at the note once again, put it in a bottle and put it in his pocket.
“Is it Busan…”
He shook off his old cloak.
It was the cloak that had saved his life from the flames and was ruined again.
That.
He took a step forward. There was nothing to stop him now.
All his promises had been kept and now he had to pay his debt. It was his turn.
A debt of life was to be repaid with one’s life.
