Episode 232 [Encounter (2)]
The small cave that started from an empty ruined building continued straight with no other forks.
‘Did I come in wrong?’
Yeongcheol couldn’t help but think such thoughts as he slid down the tilted cave and forced his way through the half-destroyed cave.
thud!
But he soon heard an explosion sounding off the walls.
It was clearly the sound of a small bomb exploding. The sound of the bomb exploding continued and got closer and closer.
It wasn’t that I didn’t get it right.
He hurried his steps.
This cave also looked like it had been touched by human hands, but he wasn’t interested in that.
I had to catch up quickly.
After running and slipping for a while, he was able to arrive under the covered coffin.
It was a coffin with a large hole in the bottom.
Originally, there would have been a body buried with the king, but now there was nothing left.
bang!
Kyaaaaaaa!
The ground shook, and explosions, machine guns, and the screams of monsters were heard from above.
You have come to the right place.
“I think the problem is in the middle of the battlefield.”
Just by hearing the sound, it was clear that a formidable fight had taken place.
“You’re lucky, right?”
He found the cave he passed through a little strange.
Originally, this cave was the fruit of a man’s pure love to remove the body of a woman buried in the king’s tomb, but it was
not very important to Yeongcheol.
He erased his thoughts and hung at the bottom of the holey coffin and opened the lid.
Fortunately, the coffin lid was not locked.
Sigh.
The sound of the old bronze lid scraping against the coffin was heard, but luckily it didn’t seem to be heard.
He carefully put his face through the slightly opened lid.
Explosions of light, writhing tentacles, and falling debris filled the square.
bang! Doo doo doo doo!
One side of the square. The awakened people were gathered in front of the large entrance.
They were fighting monsters that looked like tentacles or snakes, surrounded by a translucent membrane.
“shit! Even if you break it down, it keeps growing! “Shouldn’t you step down?”
“Tsk. “Isn’t there a limit?”
“I think we’ll reach that limit first! “I think Vasily can hold out forever!”
The snake heads biting into the translucent membrane were being shattered by bullets, swords, and various abilities.
But the number of biting snake heads did not decrease.
“Stop crying! “Kay is dealing with most of it on her own!”
Everyone closed their mouths at the blonde young man’s words.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Only then did Youngcheol look up.
A scene that I had been forced to ignore until a moment ago was unfolding in the air.
An incredibly large monster snake was located in the middle of the square.
And the monster serpent was fighting with a man running through the air.
Except for a few, most of the tentacle-shaped snake heads that erupted from the head of the monster serpent rushed at the awakened person.
However, the awakened person was fighting hundreds of snake heads alone.
“Oh my god…”
Yeongcheol watched the scene with a pale expression.
After surviving in this world, I was surprised by many things, but I was never as surprised as I am now.
Clearly, the man fighting alone in the air was the awakened person he had been chasing.
I remember seeing him somewhere . The awakened person who saved him and unleashed his terrifying power.
Of course, he thought his skills were great, but he never thought he would see a scene like this.
He knew that giant snake. It was a monster he had seen on broadcasts and newspaper articles in his past life.
“Jormungand….”
It was a monarch-level monster that appeared a few years before the last wave and destroyed a city.
A monster that we barely succeeded in catching by replacing the best Awakened people with division-level troops. Can’t believe
there is an Awakened person who fights such a monster on his own? . Youngcheol couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Is it possible to become that strong?”
Of course, for a monarch level that destroyed a city, the damage was not that great.
Flames and electricity-like characteristics erupted from the snake’s head, but it did not cause much damage to the surroundings.
The same was true for the awakened ones. Considering fighting a monarch level, it did not cause much damage to the surroundings. “Is n’t it
still at the monarch level?”
In terms of size, it seemed to be the same level as the monster seen on the broadcast, but in reality it might have been a monster of a lower level. In reality,
Gyeonghoon and Jormungand were afraid that the ruins nest would collapse. Although he was not able to attack, Yeongcheol, who did not know the situation, could not help but
misunderstand. Even if he was at the level of a captain rather than a monarch, it was still great. Has the
scene changed from an unbelievable sight to an astonishing one?
Yeongcheol grabbed his sword. The monarch If not, he might also have a chance.
At that moment, an opportunity appeared in his eyes.
A sparkling jewel caught his eye at the bottom of the serpent’s body with its mouth open.
‘Mana stone!’
It was clearly a mana stone. It was ridiculous luck. Even in my past life, there were only a few monsters with mana stones exposed outside of their bodies. It was a mana stone that
looked small for a monarch-level monster, but it was large enough for a captain-level monster.
The main body of that monster from Jormungand had its teeth opened. It remained motionless.
The head raised upward and the snakes growing from it were busy dealing with other awakened people.
‘If only I could pull that thing out… no, if I could destroy it.’
Most of the growth of the awakened person in battle was achieved by catching monsters.
And when several people caught monsters, mana was distributed differentially to the awakened person according to their contribution.
If he destroys Jormungand’s mana stone alone, a huge amount of mana will surely be consumed. It was going to rain down on him.
Even a captain level was enough. At least one grade, or in the current situation, I might be able to raise it by two grades. If
that were the case, I would have been grade C.
It was only one level lower than my previous life. In this world, I could count on one grade with my fingers. This was clear.
Except for that fearsome Awakening, it was a level that could not be defeated by anyone. I
didn’t know when an opportunity like this would come again.
Bang.
He pushed the half-open coffin lid.
He grabbed his sword and started running silently towards Jormungand. .
Class C was just around the corner.
*
Kyung-hoon, who was grappling with the snake heads, had no choice but to panic when he saw the awakened person approaching the snake’s body. “
How did you get in? Rather than that, why are you suddenly rushing at me? Are you crazy? ”
The entrance was obviously blocked, and there was no sign of anyone following inside the ruins.
But that was a problem for later.
Although he was just about to advance to the next level, he was only level E.
An awakened person of that level could attack a monarch-level monster.
A well-refined person . He was interested in mana, but he seemed to be just a crazy person.
However, Eve, who had been deploying spider robots for scouting in the meantime, was able to see something that Kyung-hoon could not.
– There is a mana stone exposed on the monster’s waist! Although it is small in size, it is clearly a mana stone. ! The awakened person is aiming for the mana stone. Hearing
Eve’s words, Kyung-hoon’s expression suddenly distorted.
He must have lost his mind and almost got entangled in a snake.
“Profit!”
He kicked the air again. A snake coiled around his feet. When he managed to free himself, he shouted to Eve,
“Wasn’t it in your head? Have you been digging it all this time?”
The spider robots that settled down quickly scanned the entire Jormungand
. -Oh, there is not just one mana stone. There is one near the neck and one on the tail. There are probably more in places that cannot be seen.
“There is not just one mana stone?”
What made matters worse
was that it seemed like he had not been able to combine all the mana stones of his compatriots that he had eaten.
It was a monster with ridiculous regenerative abilities. If there were multiple mana stones, there was no way it would end with just one mana stone being destroyed.
“Damn it! That’s it!”
There were multiple mana stones.
The plan to find a gap and explode it by sticking a sword into its head ended up being useless.
What the awakened man was trying to do was the same.
I don’t know if destroying the mana stones would help, but it was clear that the awakened man would not survive. .
“I think I’m trying to help, but I can’t let him die.”
Kyung-hoon instructed Eve,
“Tell Rosalia!”
-I understand!
Rosalia was cutting off the snake’s head with the silver wolf for a while. When she heard Eve’s words on the headset, she turned her head. She looked surprised when she saw
Yeongcheol arrive next to the snake, and immediately ran into her pet. She got on it.
But she couldn’t go to save Yeongcheol.
-Monsters are entering the underground plaza!
Other monsters were running towards the passage the group came out of.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The silver wolf space-traveled to where Yeongcheol was. Instead, he ran towards the passage where the monsters were running.
*
The situation around him was going crazy, but Youngcheol had no idea.
He was concentrating all his attention on Jormungand in front of him. A
huge body like a wall was piled up like a mountain. And the body. It was covered with hard-looking scales.
It was scales that looked like they couldn’t even be scratched by its current level.
No, the scales weren’t the problem.
Due to the rain of debris and the attacks from the awakeners, a translucent film appeared and disappeared over the monster’s body.
Jormungand The shield was blocking the attack.
It was a shield that he could never break through.
It was something he knew well.
“But since the mana stone is exposed, it’s not impossible.”
He saw a mana stone embedded between the scales.
He raised his sword and started stabbing it at the mana stone.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
also
also try to push her sword away, but the translucent membrane
shattered right away.
It was because of the moxibustion stone. It was
useless if the mana stone was in their body. It may not have happened, but the mana stone that was exposed on the outside actually weakened the defense shield.
Fuuuuuck.
The sword was pushed deep into the mana stone.
Damn it. Damn it.
The mana stone with the hole began to split.
At that moment, the monster’s body began to wriggle.
But Youngcheol burst out laughing,
“Fuhahahaha!”
I was worried that it wouldn’t turn out as expected, but fortunately I wasn’t wrong. Since
the mana stone was broken, most of the monster’s mana was now my own.
“Ugh, I can’t be defeated by a dying guy for no reason.”
He let go of the sword stuck in the mana stone and tried to dodge backwards.
But he could not move.
Many snakes began to surround him.
The mana stone was clearly shattered. But Jormungandr did not die. The
huge serpent appeared for the first time in his body. moved. The snake’s head looked at Yeongcheol.
“That doesn’t make sense…”
He looked around with a pale face and saw an even more absurd sight.
Huaaa!
Monsters appeared next to him with light. A fox with multiple tails and a huge bear appeared
. Yeong-cheol was speechless when he saw the monsters that appeared as if they had jumped through space. It
seemed like the world really hated him. It seemed like they were planning to kill him in some ridiculous way.
But the scene that followed was beyond absurd.
Wow!
The monsters that appeared began to fight the approaching snake heads.
Youngcheol, who was watching the scene with his mouth open, heard Russian.
“Come to your senses!”
He didn’t know what it was, but at that moment he felt teeth on his shoulder.
Surprised, he looked to the side and saw a wolf with silver fur biting his shoulder.
‘Am I going to die?’
But my shoulder didn’t bleed and it didn’t hurt.
“Let’s go back!”
The Russian language reached his ears again. This time I knew where the words came from. These were the words spoken by the woman riding the wolf.
Woe!
As he spoke, Yeongcheol was enveloped in light and moved through space.
He moved with Rosalia’s pet, Connie, through spatial movement.
He appeared where the rest of the group was and all the awakened people looked at him.
The snake head attacking them was not visible. Everyone moved to attack Yeongcheol.
“Help me!”
Vasily was screaming in the front aisle.
He deployed a shield to block monsters from exiting the entrance.
After Rosalia had tamed the first two monsters and moved through space, she was blocking the remaining monsters.
Wow!
The monsters that Rosalia had tamed fought hard, but they could not withstand the rain of snake heads.
After being attacked by Jormungandr in anger, the two monsters were torn apart.
Jormungand, who had been attacking, suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his mouth.
Something had entered the open mouth.
I quickly tried to close my mouth, but it wouldn’t close.
OMG!
Instead, I felt only pain.
A bayonet was stuck in the mouth.
And there was a person sitting next to the great sword.
It was Kyung-hoon holding a rail gun.
Crash.
“You can’t take your eyes off it.”
Kyung-hoon muttered, aiming the rail gun beyond his uvula.
Wooooow.
The mana stone inserted into the railgun was glowing red.
He pulled the trigger.
Taaaaang!
The mana stone reached its critical point and was shot into Jormungand’s mouth.
