Episode 252 [ Counterattack (3) ]
Argh.
A monster bird with its wings cut off was thrown into the water.
Monsters with their bodies cut off were floating above the sea where the monsters were trapped.
It was the same with the beach. The long, straight coastline was filled with the mutilated corpses of monsters.
The fight was still going on in the sky.
Louis looked up at the sky.
The flames were surprised by the space where the clouds were pushed out and the monsters that had come out of the clouds were separated and reentered the clouds.
The clouds moving here and there looked like a flock of sheep, and the winged lion and girl were like all the shepherds and dogs leading the flock.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
And an awakened person wearing a helmet who was riding a lion with a girl. The cowboy was already on the ground.
He arrived in front of a half-fazed Louis and spoke to him.
“I’m from EV. Where are the other awakened people?”
His words helped Prince Louis come to his senses.
These were the EV enforcers I saw in the video.
It was truly unexpected that it would come through those clouds.
Prince Louis was truly happy at their appearance, but he couldn’t help but shake his head in response to Shane’s question.
“I will be the last.”
There were a few awakened people left in the city, but none of them were able to come here.
Following Prince Louis’ words, Shane contacted Isabelle.
-It seems like the ground is more urgent. I have to deal with the guys who came up now.
“Yes, got it! Let’s go Bailey!”
Wow!
At Shane’s words, Isabelle and Bailey headed back to the ground.
Fortunately, the number of monsters that came to the beach after the sea capsized was small.
“Catch them!”
As they approached the ground, Isabel jumped down, leaving a comment to Bailey.
When Isabel got off, Bailey flapped her wings and headed toward the northern beach.
Wow!
Flames poured out of the lion’s mouth and covered the beach.
“I’ll take charge of the south.”
Isabelle jumped off the bailey and ran to the southern beach.
The submachine gun on her side opened fire, blowing holes in the bodies of monsters trying to escape the beach.
“Let’s go together. “We have to catch those who stray from the beach.”
Prince Louis nodded at the cowboy’s words.
The two also ran towards the city.
Do-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Machine guns felled monsters running down the street, and the one-armed prince swung his sword.
bang! Tatang! Ta-ta-dang!
At that time, loud gunshots were heard in the city. The night watchmen in the city came forward with guns.
*
Bang! bang! bang!
“die! These monsters! “You just have to kill that much!”
“shit! “Is it too much to induce?”
A fight was also taking place inside the cathedral a little away from the beach.
The priest was standing on the altar of the cathedral with his eyes closed, and in front of him were men and women holding guns, firing in all directions.
Old stained glass was broken and pieces that were hundreds of years old were broken.
Ting! Ting!
However, there were some that bounced bullets without breaking.
They were monsters that hung on the walls, moved and climbed over the benches.
The people shooting were the night watch team in charge of this area.
The night watch team were people who had to steal the monsters’ time.
To waste time, they shouldn’t fight like this in one place, but they couldn’t back down.
This was because hundreds of refugees who had fled nearby were gathered in the basement under the stairs behind the altar.
The monsters that moved by hanging on the wall with suction cups on their hands and feet were sneakily dodging bullets and laughing at the humans, while the
monsters approaching from the front were ignoring the gunfire and approaching as if they were playing a joke.
At some point, the approaching monsters sniffed their open noses. And then I looked behind the altar.
Hundreds of human scents were coming from there. Humans were hiding down there.
The monsters looked at the sky and craned their necks.
Purr.
A strange sound spread.
People didn’t know it, but it was a call to their fellow countrymen.
Purr.
The sounds of monsters shouting could be heard from outside.
And the monsters that had been moving leisurely began to move quickly.
People felt despair when they saw the monsters approaching in an instant.
It was clear that the monsters had noticed the hiding family.
They were prepared to die, but if their family died, it would only be a useless death.
Monsters jumping out of the walls and monsters running in front.
The people closed their eyes as the monsters attacked, and the priest who was praying to God opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
There was a beautiful mural painted on the ceiling. A mural of angels coming down from the clouds to save people who were suffering from demons.
The mural was already half damaged by monsters, and the damaged mural seemed to clearly show the current situation.
The priest looked up at the mural and had a sad expression.
Crumbling.
The screams of monsters could be heard right next to me.
And the last moment.
The priest saw that the damaged mural was gradually changing.
“angel?”
A new angel began to appear blurry in front of the angels running ahead.
The blurry angel became clearer and came out of the picture and came down.
However, strangely enough, the blonde angel coming down was not wearing cloth clothes, but black body armor.
In addition, the angel was holding a spear with a beautiful pattern in one hand. Instead of swinging the spear to kill the monsters, the angel struck the submachine gun in the other hand.
Tudadadada!
The approaching monsters bounced off in all directions.
People opened their eyes to the sound of gunshots.
“I am an awakened person!”
Hearing the surprised people’s cries, the priest realized that he had been mistaken.
‘But it’s definitely from the picture?’
Isabel had passed through the ceiling, but to the priest, it was no different from jumping out of an icon.
“Is this an angel sent by God?…”
After using up all her bullets to blow away the approaching monsters, Isabel swung her spear and took down the remaining monsters.
bang!
When I swung the spear, the monsters’ bodies were cut off along with their shields.
As before, it was not the method of destroying the shield with the item window and then attacking the monster’s body.
As her level increased, she used her strength to shatter both the shield and the monster’s body at the same time.
The monsters inside the cathedral were eliminated in an instant.
After the monsters were defeated, she quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily it wasn’t too late. There was no body to be seen here.
“Is everyone okay?”
Everyone nodded frantically as she asked while brushing her blood-splattered hair.
‘angel?’
The sight of her standing against the backdrop of light coming through broken stained glass made people think of her as a bride. Purr.
But the fight is not over yet. The cries of monsters could be heard behind the walls of the building.
They were monsters that came running at the sound of their compatriots calling.
Just by hearing the sound, it seemed like there were dozens of people.
Monsters showed their faces through the broken windows, and people’s expressions hardened again.
Isabel took a deep breath.
After the level increased, the amount of mana also increased significantly. There was still a lot of energy left.
Phew!
She took a step forward and swung her spear strongly.
The mana that rose from her body passed through the window and was converted into characteristics.
Suddenly!
A huge circle was created on the wall of the cathedral along the diagonal spears.
Then she swung the spear a few more times.
The mural on the ceiling was also cracked, and the screams of monsters could be heard behind it.
Wow!
And the cracked ceiling and walls collapsed along with the monsters.
It was a much more delicate dimensional cut than before.
Perhaps because they considered the possibility of falling fragments while cutting, very few fragments fell on the altar.
While people were looking at the open sky, Isabel jumped again.
Gunshots were still being heard.
The remaining people looked at each other with relieved faces, and then they all turned to the bride.
The priest shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the collapsed cathedral.
“I guess they sent a somewhat extreme angel.”
*
Gunshots rang out from all directions, but the guns fired by the night watchmen were ineffective against the monsters.
But the sound of the gunfire gave others time to escape and revealed the monster’s location.
That alone was a great help to Isabelle and her group.
Bang… Bang… Bang…
The sound of gunshots gradually decreased. It wasn’t because people were dying, but because the monsters were decreasing.
Prince Louis, who removed the sword from the monster’s body, bowed his head towards the fallen body of the night watchman.
Thanks to the sacrifices of these night guards, the damage was reduced.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t say hello for long. The gunfire had not stopped yet. I had to move again.
Tututu.
The cowboy was already firing his machine gun and running to the next location.
Prince Louis also moved his tired body again.
There isn’t much left now.
But it seemed it was still too early to feel at ease.
bang! Quagwang! Kwakwakwak!
A loud gunfire was heard from afar.
The sound was clearly coming from the army defending Calais.
Prince Louis’ expression darkened.
In the past, firepower had been used to stop the monster, but the sound heard now was not of that level.
Quaaaang! Ta ta ta ta! Wow!
The sounds of other weapons were mixed in with the endless bombardment, and the cries of monsters were also heard.
Moreover, the sound was not coming from one place.
From the north, from the east, from the south.
It was coming from everywhere except the western sea.
And then the communication came in. It was from Ingrid, who had been happy to hear the executioners’ appearance a little while ago.
-All defense units are under attack! It’s a large-scale attack that includes many high-level monsters!
Was it because there was an expectation that one could survive? Ingrid’s voice was shaking very much.
“Was it an all-out offensive?”
There was no reason for monsters to jump out of the sea.
Monsters of the past could have run amok on their own, but the monsters that attack humans now know strategy and tactics well.
A very standard tactic of launching an all-out offensive while disrupting the rear.
EV enforcers prevented rearward disruption, but it was difficult to turn the situation around.
-Right now, rescue requests are coming in from each unit.
The general’s shout was heard over Ingrid’s increasingly calm voice.
-Retreat troops whose front lines have collapsed! No matter what you do, you have to butter it! I know there is no back! But you can’t just commit suicide!
The general’s voice over the radio was very solemn.
A cowboy came up next to Louis, who was listening to the radio with a dark look on his face.
“Has the offensive begun?”
He seemed to have noticed too.
“Yes, it looks difficult to stop. “Didn’t other units come with you?”
I had a glimmer of hope, but the cowboy just shook his head.
“I guess so. There could be no way to get here…”
The executioners were able to get here through the clouds with the flying lion, but it was impossible for other people to come.
“Ah, clouds…!”
As the prince lamented while looking at the clouds, an idea occurred to him.
“Is it possible to get rid of all those clouds?”
“It is possible to drive them away, but it is not easy to get rid of clouds.”
Before he knew it, Isabelle was next to him. She also heard the bombardment and ran to where the prince was.
“Oh, it’s okay to kick them out.”
The prince’s face brightened at Isabelle’s words.
“Can we push the clouds out of the Strait of Dover? “All we have to do is open a road to England.”
Isabel tilted her head at his words.
“It may take time, but I think it’s possible. why?”
“Helicopters and passenger planes remain at Calais-Dunkirk Airport right next door. If it opens only for flights, it can carry people. And you can also ask for help from the UK. At least hundreds to thousands of people can be saved.”
Isabelle looked at him in surprise.
Hundreds of millions of people remained here.
Even if airplanes could fly, it would be difficult for most of them to survive.
Even though the prince was prepared to die so many people, he was thinking of saving at least one more person.
The prince bowed his head to the girl.
“please. “I will buy time no matter what I do.”
But Isabel didn’t move right away. She just shouted loudly towards the southern sky.
“hurry up, please! “Everyone is waiting!”
Prince Louis looked puzzled at the sudden sound.
But her cries were answered.
Boom!…Boom!
Suddenly, the sound of artillery fire decreased significantly.
Wow.
The monsters’ screams began to be heard amid the gunfire.
And Ingrid’s urgent voice came from the communicator.
-Monsters are strange! They have stopped systematic attacks and are going on a rampage! They’re fighting among themselves and scattering in all directions!
The general’s shout was heard along with Ingrid’s excited voice.
-Organize your troops! It might be temporary! Don’t start a fight! Temporary or not, let them fight among themselves!
After hearing the message, the prince looked at Isabelle with a bewildered expression, and she shrugged her shoulders and looked proud.
“It’s Mr. Kyung-hoon!”
500 km south of Calais.
A huge monster had fallen on the plains of northern Sweden.
Gyeong-hoon, covered in dust, stood in front of the fallen monster.
“It’s probably not too late, right?”
-yes. Calais is safe.
Mana began to pour into Kyung-hoon, who was relieved.
Unfortunately, the rating did not go up this time either.
Instead,
[A large amount of mana has been absorbed. There is not much time left until the next level.]
Kyung-hoon heard a system message for the first time in a long time.
