Episode 218 [ World War (2) ]
Isabelle was sitting in the center of a room that had no windows but looked clean and comfortable.
It was a girl’s room beautifully decorated in pink.
It was a room that Eve had worked hard to decorate, but instead of dolls or photos, there were only swords, equipment, and old books and CDs. Isabel was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.
king.
In front of Isabel, Bailey was rolling around the room, yawning.
It seemed very boring.
However, Isabel ignored the bored puppy and continued to look inside her body.
The mana that I had been cultivating for two years and this time had risen to another level was flowing proudly within my body.
Although he was not yet able to keep up with Uncle Kyung-hoon, Eve had praised him several times for his rapid growth.
However, Isabel found it difficult to believe what Sister Eve said.
Phew.
Isabel took a deep breath and stretched her hands forward.
She awakened the trait.
Little by little, Isabel began to awaken to new, evolved characteristics that were not her original characteristics.
From the beginning, she was able to travel through dimensional gaps.
She went one step further. Not through a dimensional gap, but beyond a wall.
Black smoke began to float in the air in front of her as she spread her hands
.
It was something that required tremendous concentration. Sweat began to well up the back of her neck.
Although it was definitely a mess, it was a trait created once when killing a monster.
Smoke gradually gathered.
Wooooow.
The smoke grew in size, forming a circle in front of her hand.
It no longer looked like smoke. A small hole was created in front of her hand.
Bailey slowly stepped back. Because every time I looked at that hole, someone came to mind.
He wasn’t a bad person, no, he was a pretty good person, but he couldn’t help but be scared.
It was still a small hole, but a proper hole was created in the air.
Isabel opened her eyes, sweating like rain. Even when she saw the dimensional corridor that appeared in front of her, her expression was not bright.
“Phew…. It’s barely like this.”
The moment she spoke, the hole turned into smoke and disappeared.
Isabelle’s face became even more dejected.
Although I tried hard, I was finally able to create something similar to a portal.
It was called a portal, but it was a small hole that could barely fit an arm. Moreover, it was a hole that disappeared as soon as I lost focus.
“How can you trust what Dave says?”
When Mr. Gyeong-hoon first acquired the trait, it was a portal to success.
Of course, her characteristics were different, but it was so difficult for her to realize this when she had developed a new characteristic… She couldn’t help but feel clearly that her talent was lacking.
Of course, it would be absurd for other awakened people to hear it.
For Kyung-hoon, starting to create a portal was a surprising amount of growth.
But she truly believed that she was not good enough.
“Plus, I have no idea what to do with the coordinates of another world. “After all, I’m a fool, a fool.”
Bailey sighed as she looked at Isabelle, who lowered her head with a gloomy face. It was something I saw every day.
But Bailey got up.
I couldn’t just leave my friend who needed comfort.
Although it was a daily occurrence, Bailey never got tired of comforting her friend.
The puppy sat at the girl’s feet and rested its head on her feet, and the girl picked the puppy up and held it in her arms.
“Yes, I will do my best. “Uncle Shane worked hard too, so I can’t complain.”
She hugged the puppy and started meditating again.
bruise.
Bailey got down on the floor and ate his appetite. It looks like I’ll have to play with the moving pieces of metal for a while.
***
North of Manchuria. Outskirts of the Daxing’anling Mountains.
Sigh. bang! Quang!
Shells coming from behind continued to fall into the forest. Trees burned and the ground turned upside down.
The forest connected to the Daxing’anling Mountains was burning.
Yeongcheol stared blankly at the forest while holding his sword.
Burning forest and the roar of monsters.
It wasn’t much different from the last sight I saw before I died.
At that time, it was a forest on a plain near the Nakdong River, and now it is a forest connected to a high mountain range, but the burning forest did not look any different.
It felt like the nightmare had come back.
“shit! shit!”
He bit his lip hard. Blood flowed from his lip, but he didn’t feel it.
Youngcheol looked around.
Fortunately, the surroundings were different from then.
All around him were soldiers full of despair, but their expressions did not look that way right now.
Everyone looked nervous, but there was no soldier who gave up or became frustrated anywhere.
The awakened person assigned to him was also different from the boy that day.
He was a light-looking man who kept complaining from the first time we met.
“Do you think it makes sense to serve in the military twice? Since I’ve been working on security for a while, it only makes sense to deploy them to the front line like this. “It’s a shame because I’m a good person, or I would have called someone else’s back and run away.”
He was an earth-type awakened person named Gyu-Gyu.
Although he seemed very noisy and casual, he quickly became friends with the soldiers.
It was a completely different friendliness from him who still didn’t say a word to the soldiers.
Two awakened people in one platoon.
As he was not in a combat unit, he was unfamiliar with the omnipresence, but other combat platoons were also structured in a similar fashion to his own.
Unlike him who held a sword, the loud awakener was holding a spear.
This was also different from the world of my previous life.
The awakened people from their previous lives were carrying a wide variety of weapons.
Sword and spear hammer and gun. There were even awakened people holding sickles or daggers.
Of course, the awakened men who were forcibly conscripted and took up arms for the first time also carried the weapons provided by default in their units.
However, all awakened people with skills had items that suited them.
The awakeners of this unit were different.
There were some Awakened people who also had other weapons, but all Awakened people were using spears as their basic weapon.
The Awakened person talking next to him was also an Awakened person with an earth attribute and was holding a spear. It was something he really didn’t understand.
But this time I decided not to say anything. After getting hit by the president of the association, I first planned to observe the situation. I still didn’t have enough strength. In order to say something, I first had to build up my strength.
“Look at that sword. This guy is clearly the type to run amok alone! “You guys have to help me.”
He calmed his mind while the Awakened person next to him chatted excitedly with the soldiers.
Fortunately, my confused mind fell asleep in time.
When the bombardment stopped and monsters came running out of the forest, he was able to wait with his sword instead of running out.
Crash. Crash.
Instead of the tank seen in the previous life, a robot resembling a spider walked out next to the platoon.
It was a robot that was very similar to the test robot I had seen in the other world.
I misunderstood it at first, but mana science was clearly much more advanced in this world.
It’s amazing how much progress has been made in such a short period of time.
Yeongcheol couldn’t tell if it was because the monster showed up late or for some other reason.
While he was thinking that.
Tudadadada.
The two Vulcan cannons attached to the robot’s upper body rained down on the approaching monsters.
A monster resembling a brown bear A monster resembling a wolf A huge bear with white fur shaped like a half moon on its chest.
These were the monsters that China and North Korea experienced before their division two years ago.
A bigger and more numerous number was running than before.
Each bullet was more like a grenade than a bullet, and the Vulcan cannon fired through the oncoming monsters.
The monsters were rolling around, spraying blood.
Wow!
More than half of the monsters blocked the Vulcan cannon with shields, but there were many monsters that could not block it.
The effect wasn’t bad.
A tank gun could certainly take down one monster, but a robot-mounted Vulcan cannon was much better at taking down multiple low-level monsters.
The monsters that the Vulcan cannon could not catch came closer and closer to the platoon through the bullets.
“atmosphere! “Don’t shoot yet!”
The platoon leader shouted to his platoon members.
“Then shall we try to make a living?”
The mood of the awakened person who was grumbling just a moment ago has changed.
He grabbed his spear and walked forward, stamping his feet.
thud.
The ground shook.
The trembling ground spread forward. It felt as if the waves were rushing forward.
Quagwagwagwagwa.
The waves of the ground rushing towards the rushing monsters did not do anything remarkable.
Kuek. Coop.
It just made the monsters roll on the floor.
“Good!”
But Yeongcheol was satisfied. Although he was an awakened person who didn’t like his mouth, his skills weren’t bad.
No, he was a great awakened person even by his previous life.
I still didn’t understand why he was carrying a spear, but with an awakened person like this, Fighting was not common.
Yeongcheol ran forward.
Now that the monsters had fallen, this was his chance.
He ran one step at a time and swung his sword at the fallen wolf monster.
Kikikick.
The shield and the sword clashed, sparks flying. He was not far behind. I scraped up the mana and pushed it into the sword.
Cheeeeeeeek.
The sword eventually succeeded in tearing the defense shield. It also cut half of the wolf monster’s head off.
Blood sprayed everywhere and the monster ran wild. He hurriedly dodged.
“Gasp .” Wow. Damn, it’s only one.”
He stepped back and took a deep breath. It was much harder than he expected. He was exhausted from barely catching one monster. This made it difficult to raise his level during this battle. “Huh. Hah. No, isn’t this more dangerous than that?
”
I was overconfident in my skills. I didn’t know that I would be defeated by monsters like this.
But I couldn’t see any monsters attacking me right away.
Moreover, I kept hearing gunshots from behind, but there were no bullets flying towards me.
Bang! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!
All the bullets were heading in the other direction. A
ground attribute awakener holding a spear. That was where Gyu-Gyu was.
Young-cheol frowned when he saw where he was.
Gyu-Gyu was already holding the second monster.
The first monster was a spear. It was lying stuck in the ground.
And now the second monster was also carrying a spear.
Boom.
Yeongcheol couldn’t believe his eyes.
The defense shield was clearly broken the moment the spear was impaled.
Bullets rained down on the monster.
It was a monster whose shield had disappeared. The bullets pierced the skin and inflicted fatal injuries on the monster.
Kuaaaaaa!
The monster resembling an Asiatic black bear fell down.
Yeongcheol looked around in amazement.
The same was true elsewhere.
Kwajik.
Ta-ta-ta-tang.
The Awakened broke the monster’s defense shield with a spear. Soldiers were defeating monsters.
“This is ridiculous.”
It was a sight I had never seen before in my previous life.
But now we were at war. I shouldn’t have been distracted like this.
“It’s dangerous!”
A warning rang in his ears.
He came to his senses immediately.
But it was too late.
Whoops!
A huge red bear was swinging its claws at him.
At least elite. No, it was more than that.
Even if I had recognized it in advance, it was a monster that I couldn’t stop.
Yeongcheol raised his sword with a pale face.
Clink.
But it was immediately broken by the black claws.
Yeongcheol’s face turned black.
It was that moment.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Suddenly, the sound of machine guns echoed across the field.
A hail of bullets passed by Yeongcheol.
The bullets mysteriously avoided Yeongcheol and rained down on the bear’s body.
Puff puff!
The defense shield was breached and blood spurted out from the bear’s body.
It was a shield that was impervious to Vulcan cannons.
Just getting pierced by a machine gun.
thud.
Absurdly, the high-level monster that resembled a brown bear fell backwards after being hit by a machine gun.
Youngcheol looked back.
There stood a man in a black helmet holding a machine gun.
“Helmet Man?”
A sudden thought occurred to him, so he spoke up, but before he knew it, Gyu-kyung came up to him and denied what he said.
“Huh? It’s not?”
Yeongcheol was out of his mind. I couldn’t even suspect how Gyu-kyung knew that.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
A deep voice came from inside the helmet. Perhaps because he was wearing a helmet, the voice rang out.
“It’s okay,”
Youngcheol managed to reply.
“But. Who are you?”
Gyu-kyu asked on behalf of Yeong-cheol.
“EV has provided support.”
A man wearing a helmet pointed to his clothes. He was wearing a black body armor unique to the EV special team.
And on his shoulder was a moving pattern unique to EV.
It was a person from EV.
The hand of the person wearing the helmet was Jeongguk. “Isn’t that the
one who got hurt?”
The man’s hands were wrapped in bandages. Moreover, bandages were visible on his neck and ankles.
“Oh, it’s because of the scars.”
The man waved his bandaged hand.
Perhaps because of the shooting just now, the bandage had slipped down.
The man hastily wrapped the bandage again.
The man with the bandage wrapped hurriedly greeted the two people.
“Then, I will support another unit. I have to…”
Just as he said, the battle had just begun. There were more than one place where help was needed. The
man wearing the helmet also had a very unique way of greeting.
He raised and lowered his hand over his helmet. It was as if he wasn’t even using it. It seemed like
he was saying hello by taking off his hat. He hurriedly ran towards another battlefield.
Watching the man with the helmet walking away, Gyu-kyung tilted his head.
“Was it not a scar, but a prosthetic arm?”
This was because the hand with the bandage removed showed a mechanical hand made of metal instead of a scar.
