Episode 258 [Baekdu Mountain (1)]
World Gold’s top floor video conference room.
It was surprising that a medium-sized company related to precious metals had a video conference room similar to that found in large corporations, but it was even more absurd to see people showing the video on multiple monitor screens.
Leaders of various countries around the world were visible on the screen.
Leaders of the Eurasian Union, as well as the United Kingdom and Eastern European countries that still maintain governments. And even South American and American presidents.
A real United Nations meeting was currently taking place here.
The leaders were watching the video on their screens with serious expressions.
These were videos of the summit of Mt. Baekdu taken by drones controlled by Eve.
Monarchs and symbols on heaven and earth. And overlord.
[4 or more monarch-level creatures. And many lower level monsters. Lastly, there is one great monarch-level monster capable of space and dimension movement.] As
the video continued, a scene was played of a sword being stuck in the monarch’s eye.
[After this, the Sword was destroyed and the Lord’s Eye, which was destroying satellites and reconnaissance planes, was removed. However, there is no guarantee that a monarch who lost an eye is dead.]
– That’s good. I’ll send out the remaining reconnaissance satellites right away.
Following Eve’s words, Russian President Bykov immediately gave instructions.
-We will also send a satellite.
The US president gave the same answer as the Russian president.
[And the glyph that the Overlord is currently injecting mana into appears to be some kind of summoning circle. I think the summoning circle will be held in at least 6 days.]
– Even a monarch-level person is just summoned, but if it takes that much time, it means they are summoning a huge person.
[yes. We have to stop it before that happens.]
-How can we help?
The new Japanese Prime Minister asked a question on behalf of the group.
Since there was something we wanted, we gathered everyone together and held a meeting.
And the countries that participated in the meeting intended to help as much as possible.
This was because we had received help from EV so far, and we needed to receive help from EV and the Eurasian Union in the future.
If EV and the Eurasian Union collapsed due to a mistake, there was honestly no way to stop the monsters anymore.
Kyung-Hoon, who was quietly watching, leaned forward.
“I plan to gather high-level awakened people from all over the world. We need help from many countries.”
The story was that they were going to gather the awakened people so don’t disturb them. The leaders of each country nodded to Kyung-hoon’s words. In the current situation, there was no country that could hinder EVs.
“And we need high-level awakeners. Please send awakened people from the government.”
In any country, a significant number of awakened people belonged to EV.
However, there were quite a few awakened people who originally belonged to the government, and as the war continued, the government conscripted the awakened people into the army.
Kyung-hoon’s words made the leaders of several countries look embarrassed.
Kyung-hoon glanced at the leaders who had embarrassed expressions.
“I have a list. EV will properly repay the countries that helped us.”
The leaders shook their heads.
They were also well aware of EV’s hacking skills.
Since it was impossible to hide the awakened people, Kyung-hoon’s request was not much different from a threat.
“And I would like a missile attack before the operation begins.”
-missile?
“yes. We destroyed the monster’s eye that blocked the missile.”
-Didn’t they say that even nuclear weapons don’t work on monarch-level monsters? Even if you hit it with a missile, it wouldn’t be of any use.
The Ukrainian president tilted his head.
[In addition to the monarch-level monsters, there are quite a few monsters guarding the surroundings. We need to organize it in advance with missiles.]
Kyung-hoon continued after Eve’s explanation.
“And no nuclear weapons.”
We couldn’t cover up the radioactive fallout to stop the monsters.

People were waiting for him in Kyung-hoon’s office.
As always, Jin Xiawei invaded the office and Omar followed her. And it was Liu Yiling, the CEO of GoldWorld.
“There are portals installed in the company’s basement that connect Ulleungdo and EV Island. If a problem arises, evacuate with others.”
Jin Xiawei narrowed her eyes at Kyung-hoon’s words after entering the room.
“Is the situation very bad?”
Kyung-hoon shook his head at Jin Xia-wei’s words,
“I’m telling you just in case.”
To be honest, Baekdu Mountain was too close to Korea.
There was no guarantee that there would be no repercussions, and no guarantee that there would be no problems.
Jin Xiawei looked at Gyeonghun for a moment and nodded.
“I understand. Don’t worry about the future.”
She reassured Kyung-hoon and placed the briefcase on the desk,
“I came to give you this.”
Click. I
opened the plastic bag and inside were bottles filled with various colored liquids.
“It’s a homemade potion. These are my best works. I couldn’t reproduce them, so I just kept them for display.”
To be honest, it was more like something that came out of a failed experiment, but other people didn’t know about it, so there was no problem with putting it in a good light.
She pointed out each bottle and explained,
“This is for restoring stamina, strengthening the body, recovering mana, and increasing stamina….”
There was something in it that did not fit the current situation, but even to Kyung-hoon, the color of the liquid in the glass bottle was clearly different from the potions he had seen before.
Kyung-hoon listened to the explanation with a happy face.
A good potion was no different from having another lifeline attached.
But Eve was worried about something else.
[Are there any side effects?]
Jin Xiawei smiled strangely at Eve’s words.
“well. “During the test, there were side effects such as hair loss and fur color change, but…”
Since it was a product created while making a hair loss treatment and rejuvenation potion, it had similar side effects to the original product.
“But if you’re Kyung-hoon, there won’t be any problem.”
Kyung-hoon laughed at the words he said as if he were promising.
Anyway, it was a very helpful potion. Kyung-hoon closed the bag and placed his hand on the bag.
As the ring gave off light, the bag disappeared into his palm.
“I brought one too.”
This time, Omar stepped forward. He held out the items he was holding in his arms.
“I was wondering why everyone came…”
Others were more worried than Kyung-hoon.
Kyung-hoon took the long object wrapped in cloth.
Kyung-Hoon unwrapped the cloth.
When the cloth was unraveled, a sword with a soft glow was revealed.
It was a sword similar to Samjeonggeom.
“I couldn’t create because I didn’t have enough skills. “At least I made it similar to the sword for which I have data.”
It wasn’t Samjeonggeom. The pattern engraved on the blade was different from the Samjeonggeom.
It was similar to the Samjeongsword in that it had a mana stone embedded in the handle, but this sword had constellations drawn on one side of the blade, and phrases about infusing spiritual energy were written on the other side.
Kyung-hoon held the handle and looked at Omar.
Omar nodded.
Kyung-hoon carefully infused mana.
Ugh.
The pattern began to glow little by little and the blade began to cry.
Wooooow.
The light became brighter. The sound the blade made also became louder.
It had already exceeded the level of mana that the Samjeonggeom could withstand, but the sword was still holding on.
Kyung-hoon poured in mana with all his might.
Now, not only the pattern was shining, but the entire blade was shining.
And the entire sword made a sound.
It wasn’t as loud as before.
A very clear sound was coming from the sword.
-Is it a swordsman?
Did they say that a sword cries when it meets its true owner?
Although it may not be the name of the sword as Eve said, Kyung-hoon also really liked the sword.
Finally, there was a sword that could fully withstand his power.
“Have you decided on a name for your sword?”
Omar shook his head at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“I haven’t decided. Please build it yourself.”
Gyeonghoon looked at the sword.
The blade was engraved with stars.
“Let’s ask you to pay in advance.”
-Is it the Milky Way? It’s a pretty name.
“No, that would be a scary name.”
Kyung-Hoon pushed the sword into his palm.
***
The attack occurred five days later. I decided to do it the day before the portal opened.
Fortunately, Europe has also recovered a lot in the meantime, and the monsters that were rampaging in the United States have calmed down.
Awakenings began to gather from all over the world through EV branches in each country.
They took the portal and arrived at EV branches in Pyongyang, Seoul, Shenyang, and Vladivostok.
“I thought you made a test piece, but you already made it?”
“Isn’t it made by SG Electronics in Korea? “Then it must have been a mass production announcement.”
They were surprised to see the portal already created and operating.
“After you made it, you were the only one using it?”
“It would have been better if we had let everyone know in advance so everyone could use it together. How difficult it must have been because distribution was paralyzed and movement was impossible!”
And some of the awakened people were angry that EV was the only one using the portal. However, those who were angry immediately put an end to their complaints after hearing the cost of operating the portal from others. “It’s more expensive than the cost of flying a crazy private plane?
”
It was an amount that even the high-level awakened people who arrived in Pyongyang could not afford.
Along with the awakened people from all over the world flocking to the portal, the army of the Eurasian Union also began to move towards Mt. Baekdu. Although
the number was reduced due to the dispatch to Europe, it was able to survive in time. The entire mechanized unit that could fit was headed to Mt. Baekdu.
Trains ran on old tracks with more than twice as many passenger cars and freight cars, helicopters and airplanes flew in the sky, and tanks and military vehicles raced through the streets. People looked worried at the troops heading north
. We watched.
The governments decided not to keep this incident a secret. Everyone in the world was watching this fight. The
awakened people also headed to Baekdu Mountain with the army.
Samjiyeon town, 30km southeast of Baekdu Mountain, was their target.
Samjiyeon town, where the army and the awakened people were gathering, was also busy preparing.
The field headquarters, which organized the troops from each country, was also pulling out its hair, but the departments managing the awakened people were also screaming. “Does this make sense
? “You have to deploy awakened people and provide supplies within a few days. They don’t even come at the same time.”
At the awakened command center, an ordinary person was holding the phone and screaming.
Unlike the awakened people who were running around frantically, she was an ordinary ordinary person, but no one complained about her shouting. “
No, the executioners opened a route and the military side “It’s become easier. Then, let’s help here too. We all know that awakened people are lazy. We need people to work instead of the lazy people!”
Her words included insults to the awakened people, but no one could say anything to her due to the results that Eunhye showed. “I’m really going to quit the company after
this is over. If I keep being dragged around like this, I might die without even spending the money. ”
After hanging up the phone and seeing Eunhye grumbling loudly, Gyu-gyu motioned to her.
“Why? It’s not like you said anything you couldn’t do. You were making some kind of hand gesture when you were dragged along with me.”
To be honest, it was Eun-hye, not Kyung-hoon or Jin-hyuk, who dragged Gyu-kyung, who was planning to get some rest after arriving in Seoul.
But it was better to let her know who was there rather than telling her that right now.
Gyu-gyu kept pointing behind her and looked at her. Someone tapped my shoulder.
“You’re Eun-hye, right?”
Eunhye immediately turned her head.
A tall Western girl was standing in front of her.
The most famous awakener these days. It was Isabel, EV’s executor.
Behind her, another enforcer wearing a helmet was seen, and lastly, Kyung-hoon was seen.
“What did you say to Kyung-hoon oppa?”
Eunhye gaped at Isabelle’s words.
Another famous thing about this young enforcer was that he was a huge fan of Kyung-hoon.
Kyung-hoon There were many stories of people around him experiencing hardships while swearing.
“no. “What…”
Kyung-hoon came next to the stuttering Eun-hye. He patted her on the shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll give you a vacation when this job is over.”
“Really?”
Eun-hye’s face brightened.
Gyeong-hoon waved at her and headed straight to the military headquarters.
People continued to gather and time passed.
The operation was prepared and the troops were deployed.
And the day of the decisive battle dawned.
