Chapter 525 Eye of the Typhoon (1)
The Sixth Catastrophe.
People said that it was fortunate for mankind that the red point was set in the United States, experiencing despair on an unprecedented scale.
If a red point is set in another country. It would never have lasted as long as the US.
Because it was the world’s most powerful country, the United States had been able to withstand it, and even the monsters that appeared on the first day of Red Time were enough to destroy two or three weak countries.
People gave a thumbs up.
praised America.
Just when I thought the cataclysm would end like this, a shocking thing happened on the last day of Red Time.
A new kind of monster has appeared in
Washington, DC, the capital of the United States .
[Humans. Die.]
It was a being in human form.
A monster on the vague border, unable to tell whether it was a skeleton or a human, fluttered its black robe and raised a finger.
Flash.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lightning struck from the sky.
In an instant, American soldiers were swept away, and people knew that it was an S-class monster in a single attack.
Even then, I wasn’t too worried.
The United States had already blocked several attacks from S-rank monsters, and since it was the capital, where defense power was concentrated, they thought that they would block the attack without any problems.
but.
The presence of the unknown created a completely different situation.
The being who had been pouring magic showed ferocity as he watched the humans rushing towards him.
[You can feel the scent of death. Revival.]
Anger.
Magic power spread.
The ground shuddered and the dead began to crawl up from the hell.
kyaaak!
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
hundreds? thousands?
It wasn’t.
There were hundreds of thousands.
Monsters that had fallen asleep in this place gained vitality, and what was even more shocking was the fact that among them were S-rank monsters.
American soldiers are blocked by monsters.
Far from dealing with the unknown, it was difficult to deal with the dead, and the S-class dead swept away the soldiers, revealing the strength of their lives.
after that.
The magic manifested itself.
Just as humans divide their roles and attack, the unknown being constantly pours out magic.
[Die!]
Quaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
It was a catastrophe.
There is an emergency in America.
The US government judged the unknown being a boss monster and summoned US forces to the capital to prevent the 6th catastrophe.
It was downright powerful.
The boss monster is the existence that announces the end of the cataclysm. Because peace can be restored only by defeating the boss monster, the United States staked its nation’s fate on this fight.
Commander-in-Chief of the United States.
Robert led the soldiers on the battlefield.
“Stake your life! never back down! If we defeat the boss monster, peace will come to America again!”
Robert was an S-rank Hunter.
He raised his sword and expressed a blessing.
The magical power derived from him gave unlimited strength to the soldiers, and the ability of the buff system was highly valued, so the United States entrusted him with the role of commander-in-chief.
There were plenty of reasons not to back down. If they were defeated like this, the country called the United States would perish, so the soldiers pushed ahead even as their comrades died.
And the soldiers who lost their lives appeared again as enemies by the revival.
It was an abomination of atrocity.
unknown existence.
It showed a tremendous presence that could not be found in a similar example to simply classify it as an S grade.
the city fell
Countless people died.
While concentrating on the battle with a blood clot around his neck, Robert received shocking news.
[A boss monster has appeared in LA!]
“… A boss monster?!”
It was shocking.
The existence in front of me is not a boss monster.
When the US government judged, it must have concluded that the monster that appeared in LA was more powerful than this ridiculous monster. Robert’s complexion turned pale.
He had absolute trust in the United States, and even when he received reports that the United States was set at a red point, he asserted that this country would never collapse.
But now it was different.
Unknown beings and boss monsters.
This was the worst situation I have ever had in 20 years.
* * *
A few days after that.
The US government called an emergency meeting.
Although the meeting has already been held dozens of times, there was no hope at all on the faces of the attendees.
The US Secretary of Defense said.
“Ten minutes ago from now. LA’s defenses have completely collapsed. Like the unknown that attacked the capital, the vampire-type monster that attacked LA is engulfing the whole of LA in an instant by making the American troops its host. The Pentagon judges that the deadline ahead is less than 24 hours. If 24 hours pass from now that the defense system is down, the whole of LA will fall into the realm of vampires.”
“this.”
“Kuhm.”
Everyone twisted their faces.
unknown existence.
vampire.
Both of them were the worst match for humans.
It was impossible to overwhelm with the number of hands and feet, and above all, the vampire, which was presumed to be a boss monster, showed tremendous power.
Two S-class hunters who were guarding LA had their heads blown off by him.
With overwhelming force, the US government was convinced that the vampire was a boss monster, and the vampire vomited dark red blood and joined the hunters’ heads together to make them their species.
From then on, beings who were strong talents in the United States slaughtered the same humans and stuck their teeth into the nape of their necks.
Capital and LA.
faced a crisis at the same time.
Among them, the reason why LA had no choice but to collapse was that all troops were mustered to defend the capital.
imbalance of power.
However, the troops could not be defeated.
In a situation where it is difficult to deal with the unknown, if the troops are dispersed, not only LA but also the capital can collapse. The US government had no choice but to make a choice.
First of all, I was thinking of securing the safety of the capital, but as the battle dragged on, LA eventually collapsed.
A senior official said.
“… 24 hours. America has no future if LA becomes a haunt of monsters. Is there any way to request assistance from other countries?”
“I have already contacted you, but there is no country that can afford to help the United States. As you know, the 6th catastrophe swept the world on a scale as great as the long gap. They say they will send troops if they solve their country’s problems, but right now it’s impossible.”
“So, are you saying we should give up LA as it is?”
“We are trying our best to find a way, but there is no way as it is.”
It was disastrous.
It was the worst.
Why did this happen? American leaders felt helpless.
It was then.
The US Secretary of State, who was watching the situation, spoke cautiously.
“President. How about asking South Korea for help?”
* * *
moment.
The meeting room fell into silence.
The reason why they react like that is because the Republic of Korea has been a topic that has been constantly mentioned at the conference for the past few days.
the president said
“Secretary of State. South Korea broke international law. Do you still think you need their help?”
things in Korea.
Reported to U.S. intelligence.
It was such a shocking move that the United States intended to decide the treatment of the Republic of Korea as soon as the catastrophe was over.
International law has clear boundaries.
I couldn’t accept the beings beyond that.
“I am well aware that this is a sensitive issue. The existence of Roman Dmitri appeared and formed a rebel force, and they took a bold step to punish President Kim Jong-tae in violation of international law. In addition, the appearance of changing the name of the Republic of Korea to the Korean Empire and calling yourself an emperor must be strictly punished for world peace. The problem is how they solved the catastrophe. Roman Dmitri dealt with an S-rank monster in one blow and solved all the problems that broke out in Korea in just 3 days. He is beyond common sense. Just as the monsters that appeared this time say that you need to set a new grade, not an S grade, Roman Dmitri has a strong power.”
The Secretary of State was also devastated.
If they could solve their country’s problems on their own, they would never have made such an offer.
“South Korea is currently the only country in the world that can afford to help other countries. Specifically, South Korea is the only way to exclude countries like China that have hostile feelings toward the United States. Mr. President. The current choice may be to give legitimacy to the ‘Korean Empire’. It is an option that must be excluded when looking into the distant future, but if you simply think about the safety of your own country, you should not choose the means and methods for now. The safety of LA citizens comes first. We must somehow find a way to save LA before it is completely destroyed.”
It was a valid statement.
That’s why I had to be more silent.
If Roman Dmitri solves the problem of LA, it was clear that the value of Korea would rise at once.
I thought about it for a while.
The president of the United States asked at the end of an anxious time.
“What is the exact identity of Roman Dmitri?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet. I think there is a special reason for the surname Dmitri, but I have no idea where he came from or what kind of life he lived.”
“There is a high possibility that Maronism will protest against this incident. What do you think of him?”
American Maronism.
They are a group that studies apocalypse and is the world’s largest organization with a huge number of followers worldwide.
Their purpose was unique.
Maronism has a Bible.
Maronism set the goal of creating an environment for ‘him’ in advance so that the god they enshrine could descend into this world.
Those who believe that the coming of a god will solve all problems in the future. They reacted sensitively to the actions of the Republic of Korea.
Marongyo is a group that actively insists on the punishment of the Republic of Korea, saying that those who dare to express themselves as emperors transcend the authority of God.
But what if you get help from South Korea?
Maronism will be in an uproar.
Their voices, which exert considerable influence around the world, could never be taken lightly.
“Of course it will be a problem. Maronism considers the fall of LA to be an ordeal. If the gods descend, all of mankind’s problems will be solved, so they are more focused on creating a new world that will accept the gods. That’s not the purpose the US government is supposed to follow. If we put the safety of our citizens first, we need to take risks now.”
It was a dilemma.
There were many problems.
Even if you get help to solve your problems, life after the cataclysm won’t be smooth.
but.
There was no other way.
The president made a decision.
“What is important to us is the well-being of citizens. Contact Korea right now. I will ask for help myself.”
* * *
Communication has been established.
beyond the screen.
The President of the United States spoke directly.
[Help America. If the Republic of Korea does not abandon its alliance, the United States will pay as much war reparation as the Republic of Korea wants. I promise to compensate you enough to completely restore the damage you suffered from this cataclysm.]
The voice was strangely tense.
South Korea changed its name.
Now it has become the Korean Empire, but the United States called it the Republic of Korea even after knowing that fact.
It is still unacceptable.
Referring to alliances and war reparations, they proposed to deal without sensitive issues.
said Roman Dmitry.
“I will accept the American request.”
[…] … Are you saying you want to help?]
“Yes.”
The US president was perplexed.
In fact, I knew how to attach various conditions to straightforward proposals.
It was expected that the legitimacy of the Korean Empire would be mentioned, but Roman Dmitri did not show any sign of concern.
It was a simple matter.
By the time I heard the news from the US, I had already come to a conclusion.
“After the cataclysmic outbreak. The United States and the Korean Empire have maintained an alliance. Just as the United States helped the Korean Empire solve many problems, I also do not turn a blind eye to the danger of the United States, which was an ally. However, I would like to end the relationship once and for all. The Republic of Korea has changed its name to the Korean Empire and will start all relations anew in the name of the Korean Empire. So don’t attach any special significance to this. We will play our part as an ally and go with a full reward as the President of the United States said. and after that. Whether the Korean Empire and the United States will remain as allies in the future is an issue that needs to be considered sufficiently from now on.”
country born anew.
With the election of a new leader, Roman Dmitry did not completely abandon the relationship.
America needed to help.
It’s not just to end the relationship.
America is a world power.
It is a country with the best defense power, but what would happen if they solved the problems that even they could not handle? People will recognize the Korean Empire.
Although the Korean Empire has caused many problems, such as violating international law, the power of the Korean Empire will create a situation where it cannot be hostile.
intended it
Now that the Korean Empire had secured its safety, Roman Dmitri knew it was time to act on his own.
like that.
Took.
Communication was cut off.
There were the leaders of the Korean Empire around them.
They listened to Roman Dmitri’s will, and Kim Jun-hyuk stepped up and spoke.
“Shall we organize reinforcements right now?”
“No, you don’t have to.”
this support.
overwhelmingly will prove it.
Rather than forcibly recruiting troops that have not yet been organized, I knew a method suitable for this task.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Only me and Park Min-woo are going. You guys will be responsible for the safety of the Korean Empire while I am gone.”
Moment.
Park Min-woo’s expression brightened.
Before even asking his opinion, Park Min-woo jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“I will check the coordinates of America right now and prepare a teleportation magic circle!”
