Episode 141 [End of the Earth. The Beginning of the Sea (4) ]
The old baseball stadium was covered with a white film.
From afar, Sajik Stadium looked like the dome stadium that baseball fans so desperately wanted.
– Let’s start reconnaissance.
With Eve’s words, drones emerged from the building where Kyunghoon and Shane were.
Buuuuung.
However, the drones did not fly towards Sajik Stadium.
The drones immediately descended to the ground. And it started flying close to the ground.
“It’s amazing to see it again. “You can remotely control multiple objects at the same time.”
[It’s still not enough.]
A heartwarming conversation continued between Eve and Shane.
The conversation between Eve and Shane is always human language. It was conducted in Korean.
It was out of consideration for Kyung-hoon.
But Kyung-hoon, listening, felt a little embarrassed.
While the AI and robot were having a heart-warming conversation, the drones approached Sajik Stadium.
Eve, who was observing the white film with a drone camera, reported the situation.
[What appeared to be a white membrane were numerous strings connected in a strange manner. The string is full of viscosity. It seems to have similar properties to spider webs.]
Kyung-hoon frowned at Eve’s words.
All kinds of monsters have appeared, but now spiders will appear as well?
The drones did not stop even while Eve was reporting.
While one drone was scanning the curtain from the sky, other drones flew into the stadium entrance.
Buuuuung.
There were thick lines in the passage, but the drones managed to get through them with great maneuvering.
As I passed through the passage, I was right inside the stadium. Thanks to the sunlight hidden behind the curtain, the inside of the stadium felt cozy.
Drones flew low over the stadium.
There was no diamond line left at Sajik Stadium. Instead, a different picture was drawn.
[We entered the stadium. It has been significantly renovated. The stadium floor has a huge symbol painted on it. It is quite similar to the emblem of Daejeon where the portal equipment was found.]
I found it correctly. I found the place where the portal equipment was installed.
Kyunghoon clenched his fists and Shane picked up the gun.
“Can’t you see the monster?”
Eve answered Sein’s question.
[I haven’t found it yet. Search continues…]
Boom!
Before Eve could finish speaking, a drone exploded.
The other drones turned to the broken drone. A drone was caught on camera falling.
A spider of similar size was sitting on top of the falling drone.
The spider was destroying the drone with its sharp fangs. The sharp propeller hit the spider, but it only shattered its defense shield.
bang!
Other drones also began to fall. Everyone was attacked by spiders that fell from the sky.
The last drone pointed its camera upwards.
The translucent membrane was full of spiders. Some of the spiders kept jumping down.
A huge spider was curled up in the center of the membrane, and numerous cocoons were hanging from the membrane.
Kwasik!
At the end of that scene, the last drone also crashed.
Kyunghoon and Shane also watched the last scene on the tablet.
[More than hundreds of small spider monsters about 1m tall have sharp molars. Judging by the fact that it has fallen from the membrane, it appears to have an ecology not much different from that of a spider.]
The scenes filmed by Eve were analyzed and explained in real time.
[The cocoon hanging on the membrane looks like food, but you may need to be on guard.]
[The mother spider is over 10 meters tall. [There was no movement, so the ability could not be confirmed.]
Kyung-hoon felt a little disappointed. The drones exploded so quickly that the analysis seemed a bit lacking.
bang!
Meanwhile, the drone that was hovering above the stadium also exploded.
[It also appears to have long-distance attack capabilities.]
A report was added immediately.
“This guy also has no information, right?”
[It is not visible in your encyclopedia.]
The story was that it resembled a spider but was not a spider.
I couldn’t confirm all of the enemy’s abilities, but I had awakened the enemy, so now I had to move.
All preparations were completed before reconnaissance.
“Then shall we begin?”
Shane looked around and scratched at the camera.
The rooftop of the building was lined with equipment prepared by Kyunghoon and Eve.
“I saw it last time, but I think you don’t need me if you have Eve.”
[no. I can’t do more than support you. Shane is much more helpful.]
Kyung-hoon sighed at their conversation. The praise never ended.
Kyung-hoon jumped off the rooftop first. Shane threw himself after him.
Kyunghoon stepped on the side of the building and fell down, and Shane stuck his hand into the wall and untangled the wire.
The two landed on the floor without a sound.
Shane wrapped the wire around him before he hit the floor, and Kyung-hoon slowed him down by driving his dagger into the wall.
The cloak muffled the remaining sounds.
Shane patted the new cape that Kyunghoon had given him.
It was a cloak made from the skin of a hidden leopard. It wasn’t as sturdy as the gold worm cloak he was wearing before, but it was perfect for hiding his presence.
Drones emerged from the rooftop again. This time, it did not approach Sajik Stadium but spread in all directions. Drones monitored the streets.
Papa papapak.
Robots and awakened people ran through the streets.
-There are no monsters found nearby.
Eve whispered to the two running people. Now Shane could hear what she said.
The antenna sticking out next to the camera was transmitting her voice. It was an antenna made for Shane.
The two were able to arrive near the entrance to Sajik Stadium without being detected.
Even the walls of the stadium could be seen covered in layers of spider webs. And a huge spider was crawling on that web.
Kyung-hoon, standing on the wall next to the entrance, opened his mouth.
“Are you ready?”
Shane nodded to the camera.
“Start.”
Eve responded to Kyung-hoon’s command.
-The target is the curtain surrounding Sajik Stadium. Start shooting.
Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty!
Grenades rained down from the roof of the building where the two people were, accompanied by a heavy firing sound.
The grenades were fired from three high-speed grenade launchers controlled by Eve.
Kwakwakwak!
An explosion continued above the curtain covering Sajik Stadium.
It was a membrane made of rope that was much stronger than expected, but without a shield, there was no way to stop the bomb.
The line broke and the membrane broke through.
It was more than the firepower of a company. The cobwebs that had covered Sajik Stadium for a long time were torn apart.
The barrage of stray bullets eventually caused the monster crouching in the center to move.
Wow!
Eight legs were spread wide.
And the little spiders hanging on the membrane flew into the air.
Spider webs spewed out from the buttocks of the jumping spiders. Spider webs stretching tens of meters fluttered in the wind.
With that, the spiders rose into the air. The spiders rode the wind and flew towards the building where the grenade was flying.
“Can spiders fly?”
-Ride the wind. I don’t think a creature of that size is possible… but this too must be the power of mana. Eve’s voice seemed to contain a sigh.
Although she used symbols and utilized the power of mana, she did not really know what mana was.
Every time a new trait appeared, she sighed more.
bang! bang! bang!
Spiders flying into a building were hit by a stray bullet and crashed.
However, other spiders continued to fly behind the falling spiders.
The moment the spiders arrived near the building, the sound of machine guns rang out above the building.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
They were strong spiders for their size. Even when attacked by a heavy machine gun, the spiders’ defense shield was not immediately broken.
But the spider web hanging from the tail was not like that.
Papapak!
The spider web was cut by the bullet and the spiders fell to the ground.
Quack! Ta-ta-ta-ta! pop! pop!
The area around the building’s rooftop turned into a battlefield.
Grenades were fired in all directions and machine guns were firing.
Spiders that flew in were blown up by grenades, and spiders hit by machine guns fell. The fallen spiders climbed up the wall of the building again.
It was like watching a siege from a fantasy movie.
-I think I can last about 5 minutes.
That was enough.
Hundreds of little spiders were flying into the building. The membrane was torn and the owner of this nest woke up.
At this level, it was more than just bait.
“that’s enough. “You did really well.”
Kyung-hoon praised Eve.
Shane also knocked on the newly installed antenna. It seemed like it was a compliment in its own way.
Eve didn’t answer, perhaps because she was embarrassed.
Shane raised his gun.
“Shall we go in?”
Kyunghoon nodded. He also took out his Samjeonggeom.
The two walked into the entrance.
A sticky line blocked the way. When I cut it with a sword, it all got stuck to the sword.
“Get out of the way.”
As Kyunghoon frowned, Shane stepped forward.
He pushed Mana into the gun.
Buuuuung.
The mana stone attached to the machine gun handle was emitting light, and the bullets in the magazine were trembling.
This was something that had never happened before. Shane was skeptical, but he pulled the trigger.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
An explosion rang out. Flames shot out from the muzzle of the gun. Shane’s body shook.
The bullet flew out at incredible speed.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The spider web blocking the front exploded, and the walls and floor were broken.
It was as if I had been hit with a Vulcan cannon attached to a helicopter.
The spider web wasn’t the problem.
Whiing.
The passageway was wide open all the way into the stadium.
Even Shane, who was armed with a machine gun, seemed surprised. He lifted the gun and was examining it.
-It looks like a combination of a new mana stone and a repaired gun. It looks like there will be a significant shortage of ammunition in the future.
It seemed like an unexpected upgrade.
bang. bang.
Kyunghoon patted Shane on the back. The sound of metal echoed through the passage.
The feeling of my hand was different from when I patted a colleague’s back in the past, but the feeling was not different.
It was always a pleasure to see our allies becoming stronger.
“Now it’s my turn.”
He walked down the aisle that Shane had made.
Inside the stadium, a large symbol was drawn as seen from a drone.
The portal was not immediately visible.
Kyunghoon wasn’t worried. The fact that such a monster was holding on meant that portal equipment was located here.
A huge spider monster was standing in the center of the stadium.
It looked like a spider, with eight legs and an insect-like body. But its head was different from that of a spider.
It was like looking at a human skeleton.
This one was not a life form of Earth either.
Dozens of cocoons were rolling around the monster.
As Kyung-Hoon entered the stadium, the cocoons split one after another.
Tsutsutsutsu
Monsters crawled out of the cocoon. A monster resembling a wild dog, a monster resembling a bat, and the monsters I had seen on my way here rose one after another.
Crumbling.
The monsters growled at Kyung-hoon.
Kyung-hoon found it fascinating that these various monsters followed the spider-like monster’s words, but he soon found out why.
Each monster had a spider web stuck on its head. The webs were all connected to a giant spider monster in the center.
The monsters were moving with spider webs.
Kyung-hoon opened his mouth as he saw the approaching monsters.
“How many times did you say there were left?”
– Twice.
There wasn’t much left, but it was time to use it now.
Kyung-Hoon drew his sword back.
“please.”
-All right. Support begins.
With Eve’s words, mana spurted out from the phone. Mana began to flow into Samjeonggeom through Gyeonghun’s gloves.
At that moment, the monsters ran towards Kyung-hoon at incredible speed.
But Kyung-hoon wasn’t worried. His colleagues were protecting him.
Tuta tata!
Bullets rained down from behind Kyung-hoon.
The monsters that were running exploded.
Then Eve shouted.
-Maximum mana injection!
Gyeonghoon swung his sword.
Quagwagwagwagwa.
A storm made of mana swept through Sajik Stadium.
