< Hell and Blessings (2) >
He was Kim Myung-shik, a B-class hunter.
“X foot! X feet! X feet!”
He cursed himself for constantly advancing towards the ogre.
As a B-class hunter, he had the experience of catching an ogre before.
But back then was the time when I properly prepared and attacked, and now it was different.
He looked at his loose left arm.
the empty place.
In fact, Kim Myung-sik had lost his left arm when he was crushed by a building during the earthquake.
‘Even in the best condition, it’s not enough.’
But to come here with such an injured body.
He couldn’t stop running even though he felt like a moth leaping toward fire.
The ogre looks at Kim Myung-shik with a fearless, emotionless look.
The boy’s body also moved.
Contrary to its huge and heavy-looking body, it has tremendous rapid acceleration.
Kim Myung-sik managed to slide his body downwards in the grip of the ogre, which approached his face in an instant.
Myungsik Kim’s body slides along with the wreckage of the building.
He slipped through the ogre’s crotch and stretched out his intact right arm.
[Lightning Arrow]
An arrow of lightning extending from the hand.
His casting time was short and his penetrating power was good.
Sure enough, the bolt of lightning he shot hit the ogre’s vitals.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Was the pain great?
At the same time as the fierce attack, the ogre had a seizure and ran amok, and Kim Myung-sik was kicked by the back foot and flew away.
puck!
Kim Myung-sik was crushed by the rubble of a building with an overwhelming shock.
Spitting up blood, he barely raised his eyes.
My head went blank with tinnitus ringing in my ears.
There was no mind at all.
‘What was I doing?’
Short-term memory loss following a strong shock.
Fortunately, after a while, he was able to recall that he was fighting an ogre.
‘…X feet.’
The ogre, which was attacked in one vital place, seemed to have no effect on its life.
Rather, it might have stimulated his malevolence, but he was running toward Kim Myung-shik, who was pinned against a wall.
‘As expected, was it not okay?’
Even though he regretted having just run away, Myungsik Kim smiled.
But thanks to you, others will be able to escape.
Then he looked at the giant fist of the ogre flying towards him.
‘Please don’t get sick.’
It was when I was praying that the ogre would stop breathing at once.
[The system administrator bestows a blessing.]
[All injuries are healed.]
[Users with less physical damage within 24 hours of death will be resurrected.]
Along with the system message that popped up in front of his eyes, Kim Myung-sik’s body changed. .
My blurry eyes cleared and my vision came into focus.
At the same time, the pain that seemed to be crushed all over the body disappeared and vitality returned to the whole body.
And above all,
an arm sprouted from the left sleeve of the battle suit, which was baggy because there was no left arm
.
A change that is hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes.
In the process of that change, Myungsik Kim threw himself away.
bang!
An ogre who destroyed the place where he was.
The ogre was furious that his attack missed.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
An ogre turns its back to catch the mudfish that disappeared right away.
However, what filled the ogre’s vision was a bright beam of light.
[Lightning Arrow]
[Lightning Arrow]
Two lightning bolts shot through Kim Myung-sik’s arms and hit the ogre’s eyes.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ogre who had lost both eyes went mad.
But the one who lost sight is now just an easy prey.
Kim Myung-sik attacked the ogre while carefully keeping his distance and was finally able to defeat it.
“…won.”
To defeat an ogre alone.
I was dumbfounded.
He opened and closed his newly sprouted left hand, examining it.
‘A system administrator?’
The system alarm said that the system administrator had granted the blessing.
I didn’t know the origin, but there was an administrator in the system that I took for granted like breathing.
‘…god?’
Is there really such a thing as God?
Is that why he performed a miracle for mankind like this after a natural disaster?
That was when Kim Myung-sik was confused.
thump-thump-thump-thump!
There was a thump and the sound of something approaching in the distance.
anxious sign.
just as expected.
Big Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Big Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Big Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The figures of three ogres floated above the towering rubble of buildings.
He must have heard the screams of the ogre that had just been beaten by Kim Myung-shik.
Despair flashed in Kim Myung-sik’s eyes as he looked at them.
“…crazy.”
It’s hard to have one, but it’s three.
To make matters worse, ogres flocked one after another.
What kind of wind blew the ogres who don’t live in groups and gathered like that?
“…Oh God.”
He unconsciously called out to God.
Being a system administrator.
If he was really a god, wouldn’t he still help?
And as if in response to him, something fell from the sky.
bang!
Ogres bursting into pieces without knowing what they had done.
It was the same with Kim Myung-sik.
All I could tell was that the ogre’s bones and flesh were scattered with a roar.
And a man in a battle suit standing in the middle of them.
Seeing that handsome face with dark hair, Myungsik Kim thought of a person.
“… Jeong Sang-woo?”
as soon as he murmured.
Pod!
Jeong Sang-woo suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Kim Myung-sik was left alone.
“Messenger of the gods…”
He stood there blankly, covered in ogre blood.
* * *
More than ten days have passed since the cataclysm unfolded.
A lot has happened in the meantime.
Everyone, both government and private, worked together to save lives and rebuild destroyed facilities.
Fortunately, thanks to the rapidly developing mana engineering, there are bunkers that can be easily installed and improvised houses with simple installation, so the functions of the government and cities began to recover faster than expected.
And factories and companies, public institutions that had completely ceased to function, gradually regained their function.
At this time, when humanity is overcoming a cataclysm.
The media also began to normalize one after another.
Most of the reports that were poured out while the media was functioning in the first place were stories about disaster.
< Disappeared from the map of England >
< The worst earthquake in history >
< Asteroid impact? Why didn't the experts predict the catastrophe? >
In Europe, Britain has now disappeared.
The only thing left in the place where Britain is is the wreckage left like a small stone island.
Literally, tens of millions of people have evaporated.
That wasn’t all.
An earthquake that occurred in the aftermath of the Great Explosion in England.
The earthquake shook the earth.
Its power was so strong that it was impossible to measure its progress.
It was a shock wave enough to throw a person into the air.
< It is luck that the earth is safe >
While most experts speculate that this incident was caused by an asteroid collision, they said that it was fortunate that the huge asteroid did not hit the earth directly.
If it collided head-on with the Earth, the Earth would now be completely broken.
In other words, it was analyzed that England disappeared only in the aftermath of the asteroid passing by, and that the resulting great earthquake shook the earth.
Of course, in the aftermath and aftereffects, there were many rumors such as the tilting of the axis of rotation, such as that the earth’s orbit around the solar system was pushed out, but there has been no verified story yet.
Instead, people’s attention shifted to mourning and sorrow for the dead and the story of the newly appeared ‘system administrator’.
< People who died and came back to life >
< Blessings of system administrators Does God exist >
< Awakened people who received blessings and even recovered from congenital disabilities >
……
The message of system administrators’ blessings witnessed by people all over the world at the same time.
After that, when the dead were perfectly resurrected, people gradually began to believe in the existence of God and system administrators.
No, system administrators are gods.
“It’s not even funny.”
Lucas, who was reading a news article, closed the hologram screen.
My chest is stuffy and my throat is burning.
He reached out his hand out of habit and summoned the bottle. There was only a light flickering in
Pik-
Hana’s hand, but nothing appeared.
The alcohol that filled the subspace had run out.
As if to prove this, the floor was full of the remains of broken bottles.
Like a tile made of pieces of a glass bottle.
“…I couldn’t even get drunk.”
A sigh came out.
My heart continued to throb with a feeling of suffocation.
Did he really do well?
Was it the right choice to sacrifice hundreds of millions of people to capture the Master?
The ghosts of the victims seemed to shimmer before my eyes.
‘I couldn’t help it.’
to prevent further sacrifices.
A little bleeding must be tolerated.
Lucas repeated that hundreds of times a day.
Because if I didn’t, I thought I’d go crazy.
I just endured every day drinking alcohol that I wouldn’t even get drunk like this.
-President. A task force has been assembled regarding the creation of the Enlighten Foundation Disaster Relief Fund. You must go to the conference room.
Secretary’s communication through smart goggles.
Lucas came to his senses.
“Tell me to wait a minute.”
-yes. President.
The shape was a mess.
It was time for Lucas to move because he felt like he had to change his clothes and move.
TRURURURU –
The sound that sounds through the smart goggles.
At the same time, a message appeared on the goggles.
-Caller:
I got a call from Ashley Oracle after a long time.
‘Isn’t he dead?’
Lucas thought that an oracle with almost no physical abilities would have been unable to withstand the cataclysm.
so i didn’t find it
No, I really couldn’t find it.
‘Cause he’s been insane since he blew up England.
But I guess it wasn’t.
Lucas gladly accepted the communication.
Then a welcome voice is heard.
– Lucas.
“Long time no see. Miss Ashley. You are alive.”
-Don’t pretend to be friendly.
“Looking at you talking harshly, you seem to be all right. ha ha ha.”
-…Noisy. I have a problem.
“What problem?”
-Destruction… I saw the future of the destruction of the Earth.
“…?”
For a moment, Lucas hesitated.
Oracle to see the future.
Rarely had her predictions of the future ever been wrong.
If she saw the future of the earth’s destruction, it meant that such a scene would surely occur in the future.
“Tell me in detail. What kind of future have you seen!”
-That’s… black and white.
Ashley is speechless.
Her cries were mixed with fear.
“Calm down and talk. What was the situation like? Ashley. Ashley!”
-…People… People’s corpses were floating around in outer space… A lot of that… Too many to count…
“The body floated in space?”
-…….
No answer came back from Ashley.
But Lucas knew her silence was positive.
As she saw it, a future with corpses strewn about in outer space awaits.
‘The master and the symbol of anger are gone! Now I only need to block the monster waves a few times. But what about the end of the earth? Is there such a variable?’
Lucas felt the urge to vomit.
Even after controlling the variables so much, the situation was rapidly changing out of control.
The future he knew now was completely different from now.
‘I still have to stop it.’
I never wanted to feel that desperate moment in the future again.
The promise he had made at that time was recalled again.
‘I’ll do anything if I can.’
if it’s to survive.
While he was immersed in complicated thoughts, recalling his mind, Ashley answered as if she had collected her mind.
-Lucas Let’s meet and talk about the details.
“All right. What about the place?”
-I’ll take a picture.
That was my last communication with Ashley.
A room where silence flows.
Lucas was lost in thought.
The scene the oracle spoke of.
The situation where countless people were floating around in outer space.
Entities with the ability to do just that came and went in and out of his mind.
‘It’s not Raven. His ability isn’t that level. The only ones left are Leogardo, Sangwoo Jeong, and Aria.’
or yourself
He suddenly became afraid of himself.
What if he, who has become so weak, goes crazy and blows the gravity weight and destroys the earth?
‘…Then it makes sense.’
broken earth.
Bodies who have lost their footing and are swimming in outer space.
He suddenly looked down at his hands.
His white jade-like hands, which had never been injured since he gained the speed of light.
However, in Lucas’s eyes, those hands seemed to be covered in red blood.
It was the hand of a monster stained with the blood of hundreds of millions of people.
* * *
Sang-woo has been moving like crazy for the past few days.
It was because of rescue work and growth.
He spread his self-immolation everywhere, centering on Korea, and rescued the injured from collapsed buildings.
People who had recently died were resurrected by Moada with the power of Bless.
Due to the constant movement, Korea suffered less damage than other regions.
But Sang-woo was regretting it inside.
‘I was too conceited.’
When the Three Headed Dragon is captured to obtain the Frost Star.
At that time, he was able to come up with a way to get a dragon heart and become stronger in a short period of time.
It is to use the item duplication function of the alter ego.
It was because he could become stronger in a short period of time by copying and eating dragon hearts, which are mana clusters.
However, I took my time thinking that it was already possible.
No, on the inside, the fear that if I became too strong, I would escape from humanity, also played a role.
The fear of what will happen if you become too strong and lose your humanity.
It was because the changed attitude of acquaintances who already treated themselves like people from another world was also bothering them.
However, I changed my mind when I encountered Kim Jun-hyeok, a wear dragon who approached me like a wall that couldn’t be overcome, the master who played with Kim Jun-hyeok like a toy, and the cataclysm that befell the world.
That you have to be strong while you can be strong.
That the world is real.
That there is no law to ever look down.
So, after the earthquake, Sang-woo constantly pushed himself and sought growth.
That’s how he was able to achieve great growth.
‘Status window.’
