Chapter 605. A world on fire (2)
A solitary cell with only one dim headlight.
There, Han Sang-jin was having a private meeting with Unknown.
“You want to make a deal with us…?”
“That’s right. If this is the case, humanity will be destroyed. At first, I tried to trust you guys and entrust you with fake captures, but I think that was a mistake.”
“Are you saying that player Kang Jin-hyuk can catch fakes?”
“The gnome is an imitation created by replicating my traits and memories. It may not be perfect, but I can understand the flow of thought to some extent.”
Unknown quietly nodded.
Han Sang-jin swallowed dry saliva.
“We also want to believe in player Kang Jin-hyeok, who is cooperating with us. So, can you answer just one thing?”
The reason why the Awakened Association is still confining Unknown as a prisoner, not on the same side.
“If you’re real, why are the members of the Dead Inmul Corporation hanging out with a fake and not you?”
This part took the most time.
In particular, what is the reason Teresa, who has a high reputation, and Chun Yu-seong, who is famous for not giving up easily, are with fakes.
At Sangjin Han’s words, Unknown opened his mouth heavily.
“Actually… my comrades follow him for a reason. Because the fake guy has been brainwashing my colleagues for a long time.”
[‘Memory Fragment’ is unlocked.]
Wii-ing!
Dozens of images were played in the status window.
There, the process of Jin-hyeok subduing and subduing the target until now has been exposed. Everything that puts the ‘brand of love’ on the players as well as the residents and makes them obey for the rest of their lives.
Although the video was skillfully edited to favor Unknown in terms of timing and process, no one noticed the sense of incongruity due to the effect of ‘eyes in the cave’.
“This kind of nonsense…”
“Didn’t the president of the association ever think it was strange? Why do so many talented people follow a psychopath who tramples on opponents to the point of being said to be desperate?”
“…!!”
An earthquake occurred in Han Sang-jin’s pupils.
In fact, there were times when I thought it was strange.
Because the incidents of Jinhyeok he had seen and heard were so cruel that even heinous crimes seemed like children’s pranks.
But there must have been a reason for that.
It felt like the puzzles in my head were finally fitting together.
Right then.
Unknown took out an item to drive a wedge.
[‘???? ??’ will be unlocked!]
Ugh!
The interior was brightly lit with dazzling light.
“Could this be…?”
“Thousands of people all over the world will be killed or injured in the future. But no matter what happens, trust me and wait for me. I will definitely catch the fake one.”
Even if half of humanity disappears, it can’t be helped.
The die has already been cast. Jinhyeok, who is presumed to be a fake, has completely disappeared from the radar.
Now I have to believe in the unknown in front of my eyes.
“…I will try to persuade the leaders of each country.”
***
[The next seal has been unlocked.]
As the 4th day passed, the conditions for activating the ‘covenant’ got closer and closer.
National agencies and Awoken associations in each country, which managed to maintain order, also failed to control the panicked people.
Burning cities and fast-growing monsters.
Except for the capital and satellite cities, most areas have turned into ghost towns where people have disappeared.
A situation reminiscent of an apocalypse unfolded.
and present.
Those who failed to evacuate were thrown into a hellish reality.
“Kreureu…”
“Goooooo!”
Orcs armed with black armor searched the ruins.
The unique dark red skin and wild ancient tattoos made the 5 joints numb just by facing them.
Quaang! bang!
Stacks of empty cans and shelves tumbled with a loud noise.
A fishy smell of blood rose from the glaive, which was covered with blood and flesh.
underground a few meters from it.
Dozens of survivors trembled and laughed. Some were incontinent or passed out on the spot.
“Hee-ik…”
“It’s over. done. that we will all die Hehehe.”
“Shh! Quiet. The entrance is covered with goblin excrement, so you can just skip it.”
“Please…”
Among them, the awakened players were also mixed.
However, no one thought of confronting the orcs or opening an escape route.
Because after the last few days of fighting, humans realized that they could never stand against Outbreak.
Like cockroaches, monsters pouring out even after killing them.
As if ridiculing the resistance of mankind, a race boasting stronger and terrifying abilities emerged.
[Gates are created!]
[Gates are created!]
[Gates are created!]
[Gates are…]
[…generated!]
From hobgoblins named orcs and trolls to undead ogres and wyverns.
It was the higher race of the monsters he had dealt with while conquering the Tower of Trials.
As a result, humanity faced an unprecedented crisis.
It’s because large guilds have collapsed and the dead person corporation has become an apocalypse that has disappeared.
“Kleurr…ruck.”
Except for a low growl, there was a suffocating silence.
Everyone broke into a cold sweat and prayed that the orcs would pass by pretending not to know this place.
however.
Praying for luck doesn’t work in reality.
Quaang… Kwajik! Quadduk!
The glaive mercilessly broke through the iron floor.
The ‘Immortal Orcs’, whose sense of smell was so sensitive, were not opponents that could be fooled no matter how much the smell was removed.
“Aaaagh!”
“Even run away!”
“Where are they all lined up outside telling me to run away?”
“Damn it! I didn’t come here in the first place.”
People in despair screamed.
There is nowhere to escape.
It was originally a basement with only one entrance.
The orcs who had completely smashed the door and came down drool.
“Kreureu…. kill half of them, eat them here, and take the other half as prisoners.”
“All right.”
The Immortal Orc, who received the command, threw the glaive at once.
Buuuung… Perk!
A glaive stuck in the back of a man struggling to survive.
“Cool… Luck?”
The man who had been staring blankly at the weapon protruding from his chest collapsed.
The orc approached the man who was struggling with blood bubbles, drew his sword and began to strike like mad.
Fuck! puck! puck!
It continues until it is completely muddy and its shape is unrecognizable.
It is a bluff that if you run away or resist, you will be made in the same way.
“This is the meat of the bay.”
“I’ll devour this number.”
Orcs rushed at the corpse in an instant.
Wooddeuk. munching.
An eerie sound of flesh ripping and bones shattering resounded.
The cold, frozen air.
I can’t even think of running away.
All everyone could do was hope that they would live one second longer as prisoners rather than being prey here right now.
But just then
Whoops!
[The rift has been destroyed.]
[The space continues.]
The air has started to crack like a tortoise shell.
at the same time.
Great!
A group of men and women returned to the present world.
***
“Whew. You are finally back.”
The man standing at the front brushed off the blood and dust all over his body.
It didn’t make sense, as if he had gone in and out of the chimney.
The rest of the humans were just as groggy.
“Kreuk… Are they new humans?”
The Immortal Orc’s pupils narrowed.
At this time, it is getting more and more difficult to save humans as all kinds of races are eager to hunt humans.
New prey and slaves were always welcome.
“Kill.”
“Kreuk!”
At one word from the captain, the glaive cut through the air again.
The blades rushed right at the neck, creating a terrifying puncture.
Kaaang!
But this time, instead of the sound of flesh being cut, a sharp metallic sound followed.
“Hoo.”
“Blocked? This isn’t even the capital of humans, so I’d have thought there would still be some decently useful ones out there.”
“No, it’s because he’s weak.”
“Ha ha ha! Taro-chwi. To think he couldn’t kill one insignificant human at once. It is the shame of a warrior.”
“Where do you go further? human. A very fresh guy got caught after a long time.”
The orcs who were watching burst into laughter.
I was bored of killing the guys who kept running away, but after a long time, a fun prey was caught.
“This… weak human being… put me to shame?”
The orc called Tarochwi revealed his thick fangs.
Cuckoo coo!
[The Immortal Orc activates ‘Warrior’s Tattoo’!]
Magical power equivalent to that of a named class on quite a few floors.
The weight of the glaive increased dozens of times with the swollen arm muscles.
On top of that, the glaive made of ‘fortune iron’ should be able to exert the same power without an aura blade.
What even seasoned knights couldn’t do was the Immortal Orcs.
Kagagak…!
Sparks flew between blades and blades.
Even if this is blocked, it is not blocked. At that time
, I even felt the tenacity to cut the opponent down with the whole weapon
.
“Hmm. Now all the orcs are attacking me. The contractor must have looked very funny because he had been away for a few days.”
The silver-haired girl who was watching the fight laughed.
“That’s right. I was going to go through all the hard work of being a high school student in a strange place, take a hot shower, and eat sweet mint chocolate… Jeop.”
The man also lightly put magic on the dagger that was slowly being pushed back.
the color of the blade.
turned dark red
That moment.
“Kuh… rrruk?”
Awesome!
The orc’s upper body slowly collapsed.
Red droplets of blood formed along the misaligned parts.
The glaive made of meteoric iron was also cut in half neatly.
“Still, being inside the barrier he created wasn’t just a loss.”
Jinhyuk brushed off the blood on the blade.
It was a time when I was confined, but
I was able to get some pretty useful information and clues thanks to it.
What did he plan and how will he move?
and.
More than anything, how to target a guy who likes games.
[The subspace inventory is open.]
In Jinhyeok’s hand, the dragon killing sword ‘Balmung’ was squeezed.
“Immortal Orcs are often seen in the middle layer… It wouldn’t be bad to warm up. I already had a few things to ask, and that went very well.”
“You are so full of confidence that you cut down a warrior. I know you’re quite strong, but what are you going to do with just that number?”
The captain of the Immortal Orc took out a horn made of skulls from within.
[Commander Immortal Orc used the special skill ‘Call of the Tribe’!]
The green light wave spread widely.
It is trying to summon all nearby tribe members.
thud! thud! thud!
An earth-shaking sound was heard simultaneously.
The fear of the Orcs lies in the quantity offensive that comes from overwhelming numbers rather than individual combat power.
“Now what are you going to do? I have a special thought of making you a slave if you pray for my life. Of course, it would be after being tortured right before death as a military reward.”
A fishy glare rose from the eyes of the orcs.
As if he was dying to enjoy the terrified Jin-hyeok to the fullest.
Jinhyeok put the tip of his greatsword on the floor and slowly moved.
That’s it…
The tip of the knife gnawed the ground.
“Hey. It’s nice that you have the same thoughts as me.”
I plan to do something similar with this one.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that he’ll be alive after all the information is taken out.
