Episode 128 Change (2)
“Why the siren?”
All hobgoblins were taken care of and there were no other monsters.
The open crack was almost closing, but the sirens did not stop.
-Isn’t the machine broken? He said nothing special happened.
“I don’t know.”
It was fortunate that it was a mechanical failure, but it didn’t feel good.
A chill ran down my spine as if I had entered an ice cave.
Pop!
The siren stopped and the sound of the microphone being turned on was heard.
[This is an emergency safety notice! Currently, additional crack reactions have been observed in four locations in Bundang-gu. Bundang-gu residents are advised to evacuate to designated evacuation centers as quickly as possible. The predicted point of crack occurrence is….]
Jiiiing!
As the announcement was being made, the cell phone in my pocket vibrated.
It was a text requesting assistance from the Ability Association and a safety guidance text telling people to evacuate.
“Additional cracks?”
-You don’t know?
“I told you. “There was nothing today!”
There was no way he didn’t know that four unobserved cracks were opening at the same time. This incident had never happened in my previous life.
[Affiliates from the association and guild will provide immediate support, so we ask those in charge of protecting the crack to prevent the crack at that location. [Once again…]
That meant that a new crack would open in the place where the medical school is now.
“What happened?”
-Could it be that the future has changed?
“If the crack they talk about really occurs…” As
soon as Baek Woo-jin finished speaking, a new crack appeared on top of the crack that was closing.
Absolutely!
A small incontinence that looked like a straight line drawn with a thin ballpoint pen grew exponentially and turned into a large crack.
“Why?”
I didn’t understand.
If the future has changed, it is clearly due to your influence.
However, I couldn’t even guess why the problem occurred with the cracks that were created in a dimension other than this Earth.
“Is that also open?”
Baek Woo-jin’s head turned back. Cracks began to appear in the sky with an apartment complex visible in the distance.
-There is also a right side. There is also a left one. It’s really your place.
“shit!”
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth. Now was the time to move rather than think.
“I guess I’ll think about it later.”
-okay. Just get moving.
Baek Woo-jin took out the Dark Sword from the inventory of darkness and glared at the crack in front of the medical sword table.
Kyaaaang!
With the sound of glass breaking, a strange hole opened in the sky. Hundreds of blue lights flashed within the hole.
What I felt in the blue light was a dark energy that could only be felt on a corpse.
Tdduddeuk.
The crack opened and monsters fell like rain.
“What is that!”
-Undead!
As the darkness said, the monsters that came down from the crack were undead that spread the energy of death, contrary to the vitality of ordinary monsters.
There were zombies with blood smeared all over their skin, skeletons holding various types of weapons, and Hobbs wearing shadow-like robes.
“Aaaah!”
“What is that!”
“Oh, it’s undead! “You’re undead!”
The talented people and association employees waiting in front of the crack screamed and retreated.
-Why are you so surprised?
“Because the undead have never appeared in this world.”
-what? Come to think of it, I’ve never seen any undead in your world.
“that’s right. “Even in my past life, it first appeared when I was 23.”
There are people with abilities called necromancers, but the undead appeared as monsters when he was 23 years old.
As expected, the cracks we see now are something that never happened in our past lives.
-Still, the level of the undead that has come out now is low. Most of them are zombies and skeleton soldiers, so you should be able to deal with them without difficulty. All you have to do is deal with the special ghoul skeletons caught between the robed hobs and zombies.
“okay. Then…”
Baek Woo-jin spread both hands. Flames bloomed from his right hand and dirt fell from his left.
Grumble!
Ignis burst out from the giant ball of flame and Earth Reno rose from the floor of the building.
“Ignis goes to the right Earth and Reno goes to the left crack and takes out all the monsters that come out!”
[Crrr!]
Ignis waved his front paw as if to see him later and flew into the crack on the right.
[Chung!]
Earth Reno let out a long snort and sank into the ground.
“jin! “Help those guys and stop the monsters!”
Baek Woo-jin even summoned Jin and pointed to the crack where the medical sword stand was located.
[Crumbling!]
Jin spread out his mane and quickly went down.
Quang!
Baek Woo-jin kicked down the building and headed towards the crack that occurred at the back. Because the back was an apartment complex, he moved it himself.
“If it’s that much undead, you can stop it, right?”
-The spirits have nothing to worry about. Even the medical school kids can defeat them if they aren’t scared.
“I’m glad.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded slightly in the hope that all cracks could be prevented without much damage.
-Anyway, it’s surprising that showing off your arms is helpful.
“okay. “It’s a good thing you came.”
Baek Woo-jin used his joyful walking skills to the fullest and arrived in front of the apartment complex before the crack opened.
“uh? Bae Baek Woo-jin? “Are you Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin?”
The man who was shaking in front of the crack widened his eyes when he saw Baek Woo-jin.
“you are?”
“2 This is Han Seong-hoon, a level 2 ability. An unsolicited text message came from the association, so they tried to take some time…”
“I see.”
When I looked back, I saw people running away from the apartment.
It seems that Han Seong-hoon is here to save those who have not yet been evacuated.
“Incredible.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Han Seong-hoon and smiled.
I was proud that he risked his life even though he knew best that the rift could not be prevented. It wasn’t something anyone could do.
“I will block this area, so Seong-hoon, please help those who are evacuating.”
“All right!”
Seonghun Han immediately nodded and ran back.
It’s not that he’s scared, it’s that he knows that he isn’t needed here.
-Good. Since there are guys like that, I guess it’s still worth living.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
Talented people receive many benefits because they risk their lives in the fight.
However, recently there have been many people who have abandoned their duties and only seek to gain profit.
“Great.”
It was my first time in a long time meeting someone who understood the responsibilities of a talented person, and my mood lifted.
Squeaky!
The crack opened and the undead began to pour down like a waterfall.
Kwaaaaang!
When the undead came down, Baek Woo-jin stepped on the Sword Emperor and created a huge hole in the ground.
-Are you trying to keep them from escaping?
“We have to rebury what has escaped the grave.”
Not a single undead could escape and fell into the pit made by Baek Woo-jin.
“You can’t escape from here.”
Baek Woo-jin took out his sword and tore apart the zombie and smashed its skull.
-You have to break it like that to stop playing. If you break it half-way, the bones and flesh reconnect.
“I know.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded, breaking the skeleton of the skull with his sword blade.
If you attack the bones of a skeleton or the flesh of a zombie in an awkward manner, the body will regenerate, so you had to break them down into small pieces.
“Let’s finish this.”
When no more monsters came down from the crack, a bright red flame burned from Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
Grrrr!
Baek Woo-jin stabbed the undead who had become rags with Gwanilgeuk, which borrowed the power of Gyeophwa.
Hahaha!
The fire spread in an instant and turned the entire pit into a sea of fire, burning everyone except Baek Woo-jin.
“huh?”
As Baek Woo-jin was about to leave, the last monster fell from the crack.
Device geek.
It was a large zombie, nearly 3 meters in size, wearing yellow armor and holding a bastard sword.
Despite its large size, the zombie’s movements were much smoother than those of regular zombies, and the morale it exuded was extremely strong.
-It’s a zombie lord! That guy will be the last!
“Rod? Then, at least it’s worth fighting… Huh?”
-Eh?
“Off!”
The place where the zombie load fell was the center of the pit where the fire was burning most splendidly.
As soon as he entered the pit, he became angry and immediately melted.
-Your luck is really…
“It’s vain.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and came out of the pit.
When I felt the energy of the spirits, the two were working hard to block the monsters.
“Fortunately, there will be no major damage.”
It was when Baek Woo-jin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back. I saw something coming down from the crack in the center where the medical sword table was.
The energy of death felt from that something was on a different level from that of the undead so far.
It was so intense that it could not even be compared to the zombie Lord who had just died.
“shit!”
Baek Woo-jin disappeared like the wind on the spot.
* * *
“What is that!”
“Undead! “You’re undead!”
The talented members of the guild in front of the crack began to slowly retreat.
“Where are you going! “Get in line quickly!”
“This is your first time with the undead! “How can you deal with something like that without any information?”
“Besides, the second crack is not part of our contract!”
“that’s right. How are you going to stop that amount? “We are only level 3 or 4!”
Since there was no information about the undead regardless of whether they were strong or weak, the guild decided to run away.
The talented people who had been retreating little by little started running without even looking back.
“You bastards!”
“What kind of talent do those bastards have?”
“Let’s stop it ourselves first!”
While the association’s talented people were gnashing their teeth, Hong Nam-gi approached.
“We will form a camp and block the front, so use the gap to attack the undead.”
“thank you!”
“Please!”
The faces of the association’s talented people brightened, albeit slightly.
Unlike Gyeolmu, who ran away, I couldn’t help but admire the medical swordsman who had the will to fight against unknown undead.
“Take a seat!”
Under Hong Nam-gi’s instructions, 18 medical swordsmen lined up in battle.
“I remembered all those scum’s faces. “Don’t stop me if I kill you later.”
Kim Woo-hyuk clenched his fists and frowned.
“Then I’ll beat you up too, so don’t worry and just focus on what’s ahead.”
“That’s good.”
Hong Nam-gi and Kim Woo-hyuk looked at each other and smiled.
“Whoa….”
“Damn it!”
“Everyone relax. If you follow the training, you can win! “Help will come soon.”
Although he was acting resolute, Hong Nam-gi was also very nervous about the undead he had never faced before.
“huh?”
Hong A-ra prayed that everyone in the medical school would return safely. When she finished praying, she felt a warm breeze above her head.
“jin!”
Hong Ara smiled brightly when she saw the green wolf Jin floating above her head. Jin looked at Hong Ara and nodded.
“It’s Jin! “It’s the master’s Jin!”
“The master has arrived!”
Just by Jin’s appearance, the morale of the medical school soared to the sky.
“The master is here! He must have gone to close another rift, so we will defend this place until the end!”
“okay!”
“yes!”
The entire medical sword corps gave a loud shout and raised their swords at the slowly approaching undead.
“Ouch!”
“Gigigeek.”
“statement!”
When the undead approached, the checkup was activated. An aura as sharp as the tip of a spear swirled throughout the examination.
“Jingeom (進劍)!”
The medical examiner’s sword pierced the undead army like a single sword. The morale of the medical school was boosted by the mere presence of Baek Woo-jin.
They dealt with the zombies and skeletons that poured out of the crack without a single injury.
There were ghouls and hobs that were similar to zombies but stronger and faster, but they were able to overcome them with Jin’s help.
“it’s over! “I won!”
“thank god.”
“Phew….”
“The medical team can pull this off.”
“haha!”
It was a time when the Association’s talented people and the medical school were smiling and sighing in relief.
Quick!
The crack that was supposed to close opened once again, and a completely different skull fell out.
It was a skeleton, but it could not be called a skeleton.
It was a skeleton wearing armor as red as the blood of an eyeball that radiated a golden glow, and holding a long sword brimming with red flames.
These undead, who were of a different race from skeletons, were Death Knights, also known as the Knights of Hell.
“Ah…”
The humans in front of the Death Knight were as if frozen by its overwhelming presence and destructive morale.
Whoa!
The Death Knight raised his sword and slashed at Hye-ri Park, who was in front.
“Ah…”
Park Hye-ri pictured her own death in her mind.
‘in action! ‘Move!’
I had a dream and a reason to become stronger than anyone else. I didn’t run so hard to die here.
‘please!’
However, the arms and legs did not move as if they were made of lead.
“Ugh!”
Hye-ri Park saw the falling fire sword and closed her eyes.
Kyaang!
Her eyes opened again at the harsh sound of metal.
“Ah, Araya!”
The person who stood in the way of the Death Knight was Hong Ara, whom he always thought he had to protect.
She was shaking and bleeding from her mouth and hands.
“Ugh….”
Hong Ara’s eyes trembled.
I was able to block the sword with Jin’s help, but my entire body lost strength after blocking just one sword. I couldn’t move.
“Ara is in front! “Move it even if it means biting your tongue!”
“Help Ara!”
“Keueuuuuu!”
Hong A-ra, the medical examiner’s team, rushed forward with bloodshot eyes. Park Hye-ri also came to her senses and stepped in front of Hong A-ra.
“Force again! “I can endure it…”
“Okay.”
As the Death Knight turned his head as if he was displeased, destructive flames erupted from his sword.
Quaaaaa!
The attack just now was such a desperate firepower that it felt like a child’s joke.
“Ugh….”
“Ah….”
“Shit!”
Everyone realized that no matter what they did, they couldn’t stop that fiery sword.
“Aaaah!”
“profit!”
When Hong Nam-gi and Kim Woo-hyuk were shouting and trying to use their bodies as shields, someone appeared in front of them.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The Death Knight’s fiery sword, which seemed to be unstoppable by anything, was blocked and began to be pushed back.
Geek!
The blade pushing the fire sword was the blade of the dark sword that I had seen countless times.
“Good work.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled comfortably.
“Now leave it to me.”
