Episode 247 [Hero (3)]
Irina, who was talking excitedly, stopped talking.
“….oh my god. What is that.”
Green skin covered in scales emerged from the dust.
Quang!
The thick, huge tail destroyed the remaining buildings.
Wow!
A lizard-like head shouted to the sky.
It was a monster bigger than a 10-story building.
If it had been thrown over, it might have looked like a giant lizard monster, but the monster was standing on two feet.
“Lizard Man?”
The cameraman mumbled, but Irina couldn’t agree with what he said.
That was not a lizard man, but a lizard giant.
At that moment, combat helicopters began attacking.
Sigh.
Missiles flew and autocannons spewed fire.
Kwaaaaang!
It was a missile with a symbol provided by EV and an autocannon powered by mana stones.
Although it was not an item used directly by the awakened person, it was the most effective weapon against monsters among the current general weapons.
Kwaaaaang!
A huge explosion enveloped the monster.
Flames erupted and the monster’s shield fluttered, but unfortunately, the monster’s shield was too strong to be broken by such a weapon.
Flashing.
The next moment, light emanated from the flames.
The red light fluttered across the sky. It was like a whip made of light.
The whip passed by the attacking combat helicopters and
rustled. Suddenly.
The helicopters were cut right where the whip passed.
Kwaaaaang!
Severed helicopters exploded in the sky.
“shit!”
At that moment, the pilot’s swearing was heard and the broadcasting station helicopter suddenly changed direction.
“Aaaah!”
Inside the helicopter, which was moving as if it was falling, Irina could see a red light flying towards the helicopter.
The next target of that shining whip was the broadcasting station helicopter.
Irina was horrified, and the Russian people who were watching the scene in real time also screamed at home.
At that moment,
it was crazy.
The space in front of the monster was cut off. The flying whip was cut off just like that.
The monster opened its mouth and screamed. The severed tongue was spouting blood from the monster’s mouth.
Suddenly.
It didn’t end there. The space where the monster was standing began to be cut away.
A crack was drawn in the space. And the gold also scarred the monster’s body.
Blood spurted out and the monster continued to scream.
“oh my god! “Wow… we’re not dead, are we?”
Irina shouted in surprise, but the cameraman did not hear her.
The cameraman was trying desperately not to miss any unexpected scenes that came onto the screen.
Even after all the combat helicopters had crashed, there were still ones flying in the sky.
I couldn’t believe it, but it was a lion.
A winged lion was flying close to the monster.
Additionally, a girl was sitting on the lion’s back, holding a spear in one hand.
Pajik!
The moment the girl pointed with the spear, a crack was forming in the space around the monster.
The lines dividing the space where the monster was attacked were clearly created by that girl.
The sight of a girl riding a winged lion fighting a huge monster.
Something worthy of myth was happening in Moscow.
*
The scene of the girl fighting was shown not only at home but also on the electronic display of the building.
Youngcheol, who was running down an empty street, almost stopped when he saw the electronic sign.
I was surprised to see the executioner wearing a helmet, but the video on the electronic display board was hard to believe.
The awakened person who wields a flying pet and unleashes such terrifying attacks is such a young girl.
As well as the awakened person who defeated the monarch-level monster, there were many strong awakened people in this world.
If only a few awakened people like this had remained in the past life, they would not have been defeated so easily.
If the high-level awakened people had not disappeared so suddenly, the results might have been different.
Yeongcheol frowned as he thought about the disappeared awakened people.
It was because a strange thought occurred to me.
‘Stupid…’
After laughing at himself for coming up with such a ridiculous idea, he focused on running again.
It was then. Gyu-Gyu, who was running in front, looked back and said.
“thank god. The car stopped. “If I had gone further, I might have missed it.”
When I came to my senses, the street was noisy.
The cars weren’t passing, but the soldiers were running opposite them.
Grumbling.
I could also hear the sound of tanks and armored vehicles passing beyond the building.
Before we knew it, the two had arrived near Red Square.
Fortunately, this road was away from the military advance route, but if I had hesitated, I would have almost missed the sound of the car as it was drowned out by other sounds.
The two soon arrived in front of the building where the car was stopped.
Old baroque building near Red Square. Although it was an old building that was classified as a cultural asset, it was an ordinary building that was not that different from the surrounding buildings.
“Why did you come here? “Do you live here?”
Although the two people standing in front of the building did not know it, this building was being used as a safe house by the KGB.
Youngcheol immediately opened the door and entered the building.
Seeing that, Gyu-kyung clicked his tongue behind him.
“I don’t know if I can just go in here.”
But I couldn’t come this far and not go in.
“Eh, I don’t know. “It’s better than fighting that monster.”
Explosive sounds continued to be heard in the distance. A fight was going on.
Gyu-yu followed Yeong-cheol into the building.
The first floor of the building was empty.
When he passed the lobby and approached the stairs, Youngcheol was standing in front of the stairs, waiting for him.
“It’s below. “I can feel the vibrations in the basement.”
At Gyu-Gyu’s words, Young-Cheol ran down the stairs. Gyu-kyung tilted his head as he followed Yeong-cheol.
There was something strange about the vibrations felt in the basement.
It felt like a machine vibrating or like an animal stamping its feet.
Anyway, it was an unsettling vibration.
Youngcheol ran down the stairs. I jumped down from each floor in one step.
3rd floor underground. For an ordinary building, the basement was a bit deep.
There was an iron gate in the way, but a sword loaded with mana cut it down.
thud.
The cut iron door fell and Yeongcheol went inside.
In the center of the basement stood a monster wearing a human mask.
Unfortunately, the Deputy Director was not alone.
There were expressionless awakened people in the basement, like the awakened people I saw earlier.
Brainwashed awakened criminals.
Six people were standing as if guarding the deputy director.
In front of the deputy director was a machine with a symbol engraved on it.
The machine looked like an ordinary small mana stone generator.
But now it was no ordinary mana stone generator.
The pattern that was supposed to emit soft light was red-hot, and the generator that was supposed to generate electricity quietly was trembling without any wires connected.
Yeongcheol knew what kind of phenomenon that was.
“Mana stone runaway?”
“uh? Do you know about the mana stone explosion? “It’s fascinating.”
The deputy director tilted his head at Yeongcheol’s words.
The doppelganger’s face was as red as the pattern on the generator.
It wasn’t just the face. His entire body, including his hands and arms, had turned red.
“It’s amazing that you followed me here, but you even know about the runaway. “Isn’t causing mana stones to explode in this world an unknown technology yet?”
The doppelganger, whose entire body turned red, looked around at Yeongcheol.
The reason the doppelganger’s body turned red was because the monster’s mana stone core went into a runaway state.
The doppelganger caused his core to run away, causing the generator’s mana stones to run away.
It was a self-destructive runaway, but it was inevitable in order to fulfill the ruler’s orders.
The doppelganger put down the hand it had placed on the generator. This was because there was no need to connect mana anymore.
The deputy director, who knew he was going to die soon, looked very relaxed, but Yeongcheol did not.
It was because the machine in front of him looked like it was going to explode at any moment.
As Yeongcheol took a step closer, the awakened people who were guarding him stepped forward.
The awakened people here seemed stronger than the awakened people at the factory. It didn’t seem easy to break through alone.
“These are dolls that were placed because it takes time to make them explode. Well, it wasn’t really useful, but it wouldn’t be bad as a companion on the way to the end.”
The deputy director spoke with an expressionless face as if he was reading a Korean language book.
The doppelganger knew that he was talking a lot now.
Apparently, it was a clone of a very lonely human being. When the time came for him to die, he was speaking incoherently like a human being.
However, the doppelganger did not stop the words from coming out. Once the runaway started, there was no stopping it.
“I modified the generator a little bit. There are 10 intermediate mana stones running wild inside this machine. “It will be more powerful than tactical nuclear weapons.”
As he spoke, the light of the pattern became brighter. The entire basement began to turn red.
The humans in this world were much stronger than the humans in other worlds. Monarchs have already lost their lives in India and Manchuria.
The monarch summoned to Moscow this time was a powerful monarch who had destroyed Russia in the other world, but he could not rest assured.
The doppelganger intended to personally end the main human force.
If the Eurasian Allied Forces were blown away along with the center of Moscow due to an explosion of mana stones, and the rest was handled by the summoned monarch, Russia would be the last.
The overlords would finish the rest, so the ruler’s orders were faithfully fulfilled.
Deep within, the desire for life and evolution stirred again, but the pledge could not be rejected.
The doppelganger smiled.
Youngcheol’s face hardened when he saw the monster smiling like a human.
I followed until the end, but got caught in a scam.
No matter how fast your feet were, you couldn’t run away from 10 mana stones rushing at the same time.
However, it was not possible to return the mana stones that had already exploded.
There was absolutely no way.
I can’t believe I got caught up in this monster’s self-destruction and lost my life. It was a truly absurd ending.
It was then. Gyu-Gyu asked Yeong-Cheol.
“What is happening all of a sudden? “Is that a bomb?”
At Jeong-Gyu’s question, a thought flashed in Yeong-Cheol’s head. Gyu-Gyu was an awakened person with earth characteristics.
“It’s a bomb. A bomb more dangerous than nuclear weapons. “It must be stopped immediately.”
“damn. “It’s really like running into a tiger while trying to avoid a wolf!”
He sat down right away.
“Protect me!”
There was no need to explain further. Gyu-Gyu knew what he had to do.
Mana spurted out from Gyu-yu’s arm, which was on the ground.
The target is the generator located in the middle of the basement.
Sigh.
The generator sank to the ground.
“Land characteristics?”
The doppelganger immediately realized what had happened.
This was not something that could be done unless you were an awakened person with the earth attribute.
Even now, one of the awakened people was sweating like rain with his hands on the floor.
He was infusing mana into the ground. In that case, it was clear that the generator containing the runaway mana stones would also continue to sink.
Even a bomb as powerful as a nuclear bomb would be useless if buried deep in the ground.
I had to stop before I got buried more. The doppelganger shouted.
“Kill them both now!”
The awakened people rushed towards the two people. The doppelganger followed suit.
Awakened people were running, filling the front.
Yeongcheol stood in front of Gyugi holding a sword.
Youngcheol burst out laughing.
He stood at the center at a moment when Russia and the world were truly in danger.
I wasn’t fighting a monarch-level monster, and I didn’t have a strong awakener by my side.
It was something I could completely stop doing at this moment.
The moment I dreamed of came, but I couldn’t think of fame, money, or popularity.
All I could think of was the comrades who died fighting the enemy and the awakened people who ran to save the world.
Only now did Yeongcheol realize why he wanted to save the world.
It was because I remembered an awakened person who ran around to save the world.
I admired him and wanted to be like him.
I forgot all those thoughts during the war, but it turned out that I hadn’t forgotten a thing.
‘I see. That’s why.’
He felt like he finally knew why he had been called to this world.
The enemies are right in front of us.
Yeongcheol swung his sword vigorously at the charging awakeners.
