Episode 190 [Japanese Invasion (1)]
Now the people can feel the threat of war from Japan.
Everyone in the media was criticizing Japan, and on the Internet, a war of words broke out every day between Japanese and Korean netizens.
Because of the monsters, logistics are shrinking and the economy is sinking, and there is a war with Japan.
The people were dumbfounded by this absurd situation, but the problem was that Korea was making a great save compared to other countries.
In Africa and countries with weak military power, there were many places where the government lost its function due to monsters, and countries that were good at preventing monsters often fell into the abyss due to their economies plummeting.
The world economy has already been set back for more than 10 years. Korea, which is surviving with zero growth, is by all accounts the country that is holding up the best.
Shuaang.
F-15K fighter jets flew over the runway.
The president, who was watching the scene through a telescope inside the building, asked the general next to him.
“Isn’t there a shortage of aviation fuel? “I heard it’s difficult to operate commercial ships because of pirates.”
“It’s not enough. “We are importing Russian aviation fuel by rail.”
The president nodded at the general’s words.
The Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs through North Korea, was increasingly turning into a lifeline.
Surprisingly, North Korea did not argue, and Russia was also responding favorably.
At first, the two countries seemed strange, but now I kind of understand why.
It’s because of a group called EV.
“Are the planes sent by EV useful?”
“Yes, it was more than 90 percent compatible. “It’s a bit older, so I thought I could use it all if I downgraded.”
“So you’re saying it’s possible to just use that plane?”
“Unfortunately, that was too much. All of them had been processed for long-term preservation. They were all stockpiling supplies, not combat supplies. It seemed like they had brought in decommissioned American equipment…”
The president shook his head at the general’s words.
I looked into it through the information network remaining in the United States, but I have never heard of any American fighter jets being sold separately.
Things like old AMRAAM missiles can be obtained through arms dealers, but the F-15 was still a strategic fighter for the United States, the world’s most powerful country.
However, the number of fighter jets other countries had was also obvious.
I couldn’t figure out where on earth EV was getting those fighter jets from.
“So there’s no problem preparing for war?”
The reason I visited the 11th Fighter Wing here was to check preparations for war with Japan.
As he spoke, the President couldn’t help but sigh.
From the time he was a child dreaming of becoming president, he never dreamed that he would be preparing for war with Japan.
“Yes, it is more difficult than when there is support from the United States, but we can respond sufficiently if we continue to receive support.”
In the end, it means that EV and neighboring countries must continue to receive support.
A country controlled by one organization.
Even looking at the situation in other countries, I knew it would be difficult to call it just an organization, but I couldn’t help but sigh.
But whenever the president heard about EVs, he would think of the man wearing a helmet he saw in his bedroom that night.
An awakened person who breaks through all security and sneaks into the president’s bedroom, chats with him, and then disappears.
There was no way that an organization with such awakened people could be treated carelessly.
The President, who was shaking his head, saw pilots passing in front of the building after completing training.
Korea’s best pilots flying F-15s and pilots who appeared to be foreigners were passing by, chatting.
“Is it them?”
“Yes, these are pilots that EV asked us to train.”
“Have you confirmed where they are from?”
“There was a mix of people from different countries. “Most of them were from countries that were in civil war or had lost contact after this cataclysm.”
As a method of payment for war material support, pilot training requested by EV was being provided to each aviation unit.
“They are all skilled pilots. “I don’t think training will be difficult because there are pilots who have no experience flying an F-15, but have actual experience.”
“So are they mercenaries? “If they are mercenaries, wouldn’t it be okay for us to bring them in?”
It was clear that if war broke out, there would be a shortage of pilots as well as military aircraft. Pilots who could be deployed in combat after a short period of training were essential in Korea.
But the general shook his head with a sad face.
“It seems difficult to view them as mercenaries. It seems that the EV saved the pilots and their families. Even now, EV is protecting my entire family. “Everyone is very thankful for EV.”
Honestly, I wanted to say that their loyalty was great, but I couldn’t say that when it wasn’t even a country.
“What on earth is EV trying to do?”
The President looked out the window and muttered.
An organization that emerged with the slogan, ‘Protect the awakened to save the world.’
And EV has continued to take action for that cause.
“It won’t be about creating a nation of awakened people, so I don’t know.”
In any case, it had been proven difficult to deal with the cloud-driving monsters even with fighter planes.
Even now, air routes were blocked and fighter jets were busy escaping from the monster cloud.
I thought about it again, but it was difficult for the President to understand the reason. Anyway, even places like the Policy Research Institute did not know the reason.
Anyway, now was the time to focus on the war at hand.
Shhh!
Fighter jets flew over the building.
***
Kyunghoon was very busy.
He had to carry as much weight as possible and move through dimensions whenever it was time to activate the trait.
F-15 and F-16. Later, they even brought the golems from the Jamsil hideout, removed only the main parts, and transported them to another world.
It wasn’t just transporting aircraft. He even had to fly various missiles. The relics and gold bars in the underground fortress were untouchable.
Still, I didn’t miss the scene of Isabel’s promotion.
*
Near Washington.
Isabel and a wild dog with horns were standing facing each other in a lush field.
It was the same species as the horned wild dog that Isabel had mistakenly tried to kill in a sneak attack some time ago.
Unlike then, Isabel was neither receiving help nor hiding.
This hunt was a kind of test of my training.
Isabelle leaned forward with a nervous expression.
Crumbling.
The horned wild dog also lowered his body. The monster’s body was half hidden by the shaking bushes. Rather, the monster had an advantage in hiding.
From a distance, a robot, a human, and a dog were watching the scene.
whine. whine.
The puppy seemed to want to go next to Isabel.
Bailey continued to whine while looking at the girl, but Kyung-hoon’s hand held the back of his neck and he couldn’t move.
Kyunghoon looked at Bailey with a curious expression.
“It really hasn’t changed and it’s quiet. “I think you know Bailey really well.”
It was at Shane’s request that Kyunghoon grabbed Bailey’s neck.
Kyung-hoon wondered if he could stop the dog from transforming with something like that, but surprisingly, when Kyung-hoon grabbed its neck, the dog gave up on transformation and only made pitiful cries.
At Kyung-hoon’s words, Shane scratched the camera.
The reason Bailey was quiet wasn’t because Shane knew dogs well. It was just because Bailey was afraid of Kyung-hoon.
“Hmm, if I take you around like this, do you think we’ll get closer?”
Neither Shane nor Eve could absolutely agree with Kyunghoon’s words, but they couldn’t bring themselves to say it.
Whimper.
Bailey continued to whine with a terrified face. It seemed like the reason he was whining wasn’t because he wanted to go to the girl.
It sounded like Bailey was barking in the distance, but Isabel couldn’t hear it.
She was concentrating on the monster in front of her.
Huh. Huh.
She took a deep breath to calm her trembling heart.
Isabelle had never fought like this before. It was always hiding, then running away.
Thanks to that, I have survived so far, but I haven’t been able to fight properly.
This time, while traveling with Shane, I experienced combat several times, but this was the first time I faced a monster alone.
‘I can do it. I can do it.’
She kept repeating to herself. My heart was pounding and I was scared, but it was still much better than when I was alone.
He clearly promised not to help, but now there was a group of people watching him from afar.
Shane, Bailey, and the sister who only hears sounds. Lastly, an incredibly strong man.
When they came to mind, my pounding heart calmed.
The monster was clearly visible. The wild dog’s shoulder muscles were bulging.
‘Keep an eye on the other person. Especially mana flow and muscles. I can’t feel the flow of mana, but they say that high-level humans can anticipate attacks based on the flow of mana.’
It was just as Shane taught.
Even she could not yet feel the flow of mana from the monster’s body. But I could still tell that the muscles were moving.
‘come!’
She threw herself to the side and the monster shot forward. The bushes parted and the distance to the wild dog instantly became zero.
The wild dog’s horns glowed and the wild dog passed through the spot where she was.
But there was nothing caught by the horn.
Sigh!
Instead, I felt a strong pain in my side. The window was stuck.
The surprised monster whipped its horn to the side. The window passed Isabelle. But the horn only passed through her translucent body.
When there was nothing to stop it again, the monster retreated back. The window slipped out and Isabel’s body returned to its original state.
Isabel smiled brightly, holding the spear.
It was successful for the first time. It was successful in using the ability to move half-dimensionally in battle.
She was filled with confidence.
I could win!
Isabel held the spear and walked towards the monster. The horned wild dog retreated hesitantly, blood streaming down its side.
“It’s over.”
The robot said, putting the gun on its shoulder.
Kyunghoon also nodded.
“You taught me really well in a short period of time. “It seems like you have a talent for being an instructor as well.”
Shane shook his head.
“I just followed the manual. My skills improved quickly. “Is learning really that fast?”
Hearing Shane’s words, Kyunghoon looked at Isabelle again.
Isabel was now overpowering the monster.
The difference in size was enormous and the difference in strength was also great, but the aspect of the fight was completely opposite.
The monster’s shield had already been broken, and the spear was still filled with mana.
She became adept at using mana.
She jumped into the air and fell flat on the ground to avoid the monster’s attack. It was like performing acrobatics. His fighting sense was also great. And when it was difficult to dodge, I used my characteristic to dodge half-dimensionally. Now, I was using the characteristics to my heart’s content.
It seemed like he couldn’t use it often because he still didn’t have enough mana, but that was a problem that would be solved when his level increased.
And that level was about to rise.
Kyaaaaaaa!
The monster screamed and fell to the floor.
Isabel pulled out her spear and closed her eyes.
The mana flowing from the monster’s body was seen seeping into Isabelle’s body.
Isabelle’s mana flickered.
Finally, I was promoted to the next level.
Mana’s excitement subsided and Isabel opened her eyes.
She looked at the group with a bright face.
[Now I can go to New York with her.]
Kyung-hoon nodded at Eve’s words. Now it’s time to check out the pink dot in New York.
“But first, we have to sort out the affairs of the other world.”
“Will it take long?”
Shane asked Kyung-hoon’s words.
Kyunghoon grinned.
“It won’t take long.”
That day, the group had a celebration party and Kyung-hoon crossed the dimension again.

The next day, the Japanese Coast Guard attacked Dokdo.
An ordinary patrol boat ignored the warning broadcast and attempted to dock at Dokdo.
Dokdo guards fired warning shots and machine guns were fired from patrol boats.
The guards counterattacked and were able to repel the Japanese coast guard.
The patrol boat retreated, spouting smoke, but the guards’ expressions were dark.
After a while.
The Japanese Prime Minister’s angry statement filled Japanese broadcasts, and the Japanese fleet departed for Korea.
The war has begun.
