Episode 201 [ Monarch (2) ]
Gyeong-hoon and the others met at the subway platform.
Eve relayed the news to the party that the enemy was coming through a relay from a drone and a spider robot. Isabel’s eyes turned red, but she looked calmer than before.
Kyung-hoon said while looking at the group.
“The enemy is coming.”
Crash.
At Kyung-hoon’s words, Shane loaded the gun. The story was that preparations were complete.
Isabelle also nodded while holding the gun, and Bailey tilted her head as she looked at Kyunghoon.
Unlike the rest of the group, Bailey noticed that Kyung-hoon had changed.
“And this is Isabel’s.”
Kyung-hoon handed Isabel a small memory card.
“what is this?”
“This is the data your father left behind. “I put the backup there.”
There was data in Eve’s memory as well, but it had been created separately for Isabelle.
Isabelle looked at Kyung-hoon with a puzzled face.
“I think we can do a lot thanks to the materials your father left behind. “I will settle it separately later, but it would be better to keep it as a souvenir first.”
Isabel didn’t understand half of what Kyung-hoon meant, but she held the memory card he gave her tightly in her hand.
It was something my dad left behind.
“I will treasure it.”
I think I misunderstood it a bit.
However, Kyung-hoon did not correct the misunderstanding. It didn’t matter if I found out later.
-But how do you plan to settle the settlement?
“I think we could create a company under Isabel’s name. “Wouldn’t it be okay for Isabel to make and sell the items in the computer under that company’s name and keep the profits from it?”
“With that wealth, we also buy things that we bring here. “If we go beyond the dimension later, Isabel will be able to manage the company.”
– If we go beyond the dimension, Isabel will become extremely rich.
No one would say anything if Kyung-hoon just used it, but Kyung-hoon no longer needs to be concerned about this kind of money.
“ And it doesn’t matter as long as EV is in charge of distribution.”
-As expected, you don’t plan on taking any losses.
Through his past experience, Kyung-hoon now knows what a company and power are.
The money itself wasn’t important.
As long as Kyung-hoon could decide who to sell to, it didn’t matter who took the profits.
– The enemy was close.
Eve warned them again.
It seemed like monsters were approaching while they were talking.
Isabelle stuffed the memory card deep into her pocket and the group got off the subway train.
Loud footsteps were heard from the north.
More than hundreds of monsters. It was the sound of their footsteps.
Kyung-hoon looked back at the group.
He could feel the mana blooming from the members’ bodies. Inside
Isabel’s body, the mana that had grown more than before was covering her body and head.
The mana that started from Shane’s chest was forming a pattern. I could see it flowing.
And the unique mana flowing through Bailey’s body.
But it was all very weak mana compared to Kyung-hoon himself. Even
before his level increased, there was a difference with the group, but now the difference has widened even further.
Now, it helps him fight . It might not work out.
But Kyung-hoon planned to fight with the group.
It was partly because of Isabelle’s growth, but no matter how strong she was, she couldn’t do everything on her own. Without
Eve, Kyung-hoon couldn’t have come this far.
Tap, tap.
Kyung-hoon. I tapped the cell phone that I kept in my chest.
-What’s going on?
Eve asked.
“The human coming in front of those monsters over there. Isn’t he Korean?”
At the head of the rat men running down the aisle was a human. He had
a strange combination of gray hair and a young face, but his face was typical of an East Asian.
– I can’t tell for sure if he was Korean, but the thing he was holding in his hand was a Samjeong sword. Kyung-hoon lifted his
hand . I lifted it up. Koreans would have asked something.
Shane and Isabel lowered their guns.
Kaaaaaaaa!
The monsters came running, growling.
Did they see Kyung-hoon raise his hand?
Kaaaa!
The man also looked back and screamed. The voices of the monsters. It was a roar like that. -Whether
they were Korean or not, it was definitely a monster.
The rat
men growled wildly, but gradually slowed down.
The monsters stopped 100 meters away from the group.
It was a subway platform with little light, but everyone was looking at each other. I could see the figure clearly.
A white-haired man walked forward.
While Kyung-hoon looked at the man walking, the man checked Kyung-hoon and his group.
His eyes lit up when he saw Isabelle standing next to Kyung-hoon, and he looked at Kyung-hoon and Shane. He tilted his head.
He stopped not far away from Kyung-hoon.
“It’s definitely a human. They even brought in a robot from the Daegu lab. Could it have been Korean?”
Proficient English came out of his mouth. Kyung-hoon immediately asked,
“Are you American?”
The man nodded.
“Oh, um… actually… I keep using only English, so I guess it’s a habit.”
He answered again in Korean.
Crumble.
It was a strange situation.
On one side, hundreds of Ratmen were growling, and on the other side, a robot, a girl, and a dog were glaring at their enemies with tense faces. In the meantime, two men were talking.
“I am an awakened Korean refugee. “Are you Korean?”
-As expected, the conversation pattern is similar to that of the mutant who died a while ago. I think we will continue the conversation until we get the situation or answer we want.
“You’re Korean.”
Kyung-hoon raised his sword and pointed at the opponent’s sword.
“What happened to other Koreans? Did everyone die that day?”
The man looked at Kyung-hoon’s sword and made a puzzled expression.
“Samjeonggeom? “How can I have that…”
The man who was about to ask something immediately erased his expression.
He was neither a curious monarch nor a monster.
It was not important that a human who had not appeared in a long time had the Samjeongsword.
The only thing that mattered was whether I could open the safe and the computer.
He first answered human questions.
“Many died in Los Angeles City, and many died on the way here. I and the other mutants killed all the Koreans who arrived here that day.”
It was a harrowing story, but Kyung-hoon was able to discover one unusual thing among what he said.
“Leaving along the way?”
Kyung-hoon asked again, but the man ignored Kyung-hoon’s question.
“Did the robot next to you make you move again? Or are there other humans?”
Kyunghoon narrowed his eyes.
Although I couldn’t recognize the mutant’s emotions, I could clearly see how the murky mana flowing through the mutant’s body.
The moment he asked the question, the mutant’s mana began to flow through the sword.
Ready to fight.
The question just now was the mutant’s last question.
Kyunghoon opened his mouth.
“Answer my question and I’ll tell you.”
The man tilted his head at Kyung-hoon’s words, but answered.
“It was a sea route around South America, so there were quite a few people who couldn’t hold out and got off the ship. I don’t know what happened. “Who made the robot move?”
After answering calmly, he asked the same question again.
It seemed impossible to ask any more questions.
The man’s sword began to tremble and the Ratmen were moving forward little by little.
Kyunghoon looked to the side.
“You ask who got Shane back up and running?”
Shane, who had been standing quietly all this time, lifted the hat draped over the camera with his fingertips.
“I never stopped operating?”
-I received a lot of repairs.
The man looked at the robot and shook his head.
“It was a useless conversation. “It would be easier to just catch you and ask.”
The moment he finished speaking, the gray-haired man shot at Kyung-hoon.
Kaaaaagh!
And the rat men in the back started to come back.
It was a different group from before. More than half were large elite rat men, and there were also knight-level monsters wearing armor here and there.
The group also prepared to fight.
Shane and Isabelle’s machine guns pointed forward and Bailey’s body swelled.
The white-haired man swung his sword at Kyung-hoon.
Buuuuung.
The blue sword mixed with blood moved forward. Although it was mixed with blood, it was very refined mana and swordsmanship.
Kyunghoon was quite surprised.
I’ve never seen someone who was this good at using mana, and I’ve never seen anyone with good swordsmanship.
As expected, this sword was the sword wielded by the last commander of the Korean Awakened Division.
He was a Class A awakened person who failed to fulfill the president’s request to protect everyone and abandoned humanity in order to survive.
As he turned into a mutant, his mana became cloudy and his human wisdom disappeared, but his power went beyond A-level and was approaching S-level.
After becoming a mutant, he never once thought that he would be fed up with humans.
A beautiful trajectory arrived in front of Kyung-hoon.
Gyeonghoon also swung his sword at the approaching sword.
Buuuuuung.
Unfortunately, Gyeonghoon’s sword moved more clunkily than his opponent’s sword.
There was a lot of practice, but there was still not enough time. A much simpler trajectory had to be drawn.
Ugh!
Moreover, unlike his opponent, who had mana all over his sword, Kyung-Hoon’s mana was only visible on the blade.
The two swords clashed.
To prepare for impact, the man strengthened his hand holding the sword.
But there was no shock.
Suddenly!
The shining sword split in half.
His sword was cut off by a sword with barely visible mana.
And the man’s vision spun around.
He saw his lower body cut off and saw a long light coming from the sword that cut his body.
The sword moved again and a line of light split the passage in half.
The mutant, who was the former division commander, found the scene beautiful.
It was a sight I had heard about while learning swordsmanship that uses mana. But it was a dream that could never be achieved.
However, having lost his human sensibilities, he only felt beautiful.
My vision darkened.
Tuk.
The mutant’s upper body fell to the floor.
Damn it!
At the same time, the Samjeongsword in Gyeonghoon’s hand broke.
-It looks like I couldn’t withstand the master’s mana.
Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue as he looked at the Samjeong sword with only the handle remaining.
At best I got to the next level, but now the items can’t support me.
Even if I used the overcharge technique repeatedly, I couldn’t withstand it, so there was no way I could withstand this concentration of mana.
“If I can’t use the Samjeonggeom, I won’t be able to use any other swords.”
-I think you should use the Samjeonggeom as well.
Crumbling.
The sounds of monsters were heard from the passage that had become a sea of blood.
Unfortunately, the sword broke before they could all be cut off.
More than half of the monsters were dead and many had their arms and legs cut off, but there were still some that were fine.
The monsters’ expressions turned white at the scene that had just happened, but none of them ran away.
The monsters charged again.
Kyunghoon looked back.
Everyone in the group was looking at Kyung-hoon.
Bailey was hiding behind Isabel in an absurdly transformed form.
“what are you doing? “The enemy is coming.”
Only then did everyone come to their senses after Kyung-hoon’s words.
Ta ta ta ta!
Shane started firing his machine gun, and Isabelle also held a spear instead of a gun and ran towards the armored Ratman.
Bailey also spread his wings wide and flew up.
Kyung-hoon took out his sniper rifle for support.
But Kyung-hoon looked up before shooting.
Wooooow.
Mana was moving.
“Right now send all drones and spiders towards the subway station we entered.”
-All right.
Eve followed Kyung-hoon’s instructions without asking.
Wow!
The drones in the back flew over the fighting group.
I felt bad.
Kyung-hoon also put the rifle back and jumped into the fight.
His fists began to crush the rat men.
***
The sun was setting.
The rat men in the building began to come out.
one two three four. The number of Letmen coming out of the building did not decrease.
Hundreds and thousands of Ratmen poured out of the building.
All the rat men in Manhattan took to the streets.
The Ratmen all walked in one direction. It was the direction where the station leading to the underground city was.
