The bodies of the Hunter Federation president and association presidents were rolling around like dog poop on the street.
Daesung, who watched the scene from beginning to end, quietly lit his cigarette.
‘These guys aren’t even worth shit.’
It may be a harsh treatment to give in a hundred times just because he doubted himself as he fought against a very large gate alone.
However, they used their power to oppress the weak. They even shouted that the world would be destroyed without them.
Each and every such evil act turns the Earth into a place no different from hell.
So it was condemned. That’s it.
“then.”
-widely.
Daesung, who had been smoking sweetly for the first time in a long time, flicked his fingers and looked down at the scenery of New York from the sky.
Bright red flames soared through the dark night of the city.
Daesung expanded his magic radar and was able to see that hordes of worms were lurking throughout the city, not just in this area.
‘Should I just leave the worms to others?’
Collecting orihalcon is important, but fatigue from summoning the command corps all over the United States is starting to set in.
Collecting orihalcon while killing worm-like waste one by one now felt a little annoying.
Daesung yawned lightly and activated the system to check his reserves.
[Current Orihalcon possession: 23,993]
The press bureau’s estimated monster count of 25,000 is just around the corner.
America’s greatest crisis, which suddenly occurred, has now come to an end.
Now that I’ve finished cleaning, it won’t matter if I go back to Korea.
‘no.’
Daesung shook his head.
Maybe it was because I was tired, but I realized that I was developing a very wrong way of thinking.
‘I have to check what I’ve collected properly.’
If you’ve been saving up like crazy, isn’t it time to put it to use?
The reason I collected Orihalcon was to tune all summons, including the Annihilator.
‘Exterminating Dragon.’
First, let’s start with the annihilating dragon.
-Searching for the most suitable object that can be transformed with the quantity of orihalcon currently in possession.
-Search complete. ‘Large Artillery’
– To activate, mention the command “deploy” towards the selected target.
Daesung wasted no time in uttering the command.
-Consumes a total of 4000 Orihalcon.
-Orihalcon activation complete.
-Activation result: ‘Plasma cannon.’
Sigh! 썄썄썣죁!
Feeling as if bugs were crawling around him, Daesung inadvertently removed his butt from the annihilating dragon’s neck.
And as he noticed the changes happening around him, he crossed his arms as if he was interested.
Aren’t the nanoparticles of orihalcon covering the body of the annihilator dragon like paint being added to a white drawing paper?
The black scales were covered in blue-tinted iron armor here and there.
Excluding the front and hind legs, the body of the annihilator dragon, which had almost two-thirds of its body attached to Orihalcon’s armor, vibrated.
Sigh!
Two long, super-large tank guns rose from the shoulder blades of the winged annihilating dragon.
Puzzle-!
Green plasma energy burned powerfully from the tank guns, each of which was comparable in size to an anti-tank rifle.
With the intention of firing immediately.
“Then we should fire.”
Crrr-!
The annihilating dragon was slightly embarrassed by the sudden change in its body, but soon spread its wings wide as if it didn’t like it.
-The plasma cannon’s additional function ‘scanning’ is implemented.
-Currently, there are a total of 137 monsters remaining in the city.
-All 137 objects can be intercepted with one launch.
-If you want to intercept, mention the command ‘Fire’.
There was no reason to refuse.
“of course.”
Jiiiing-!
There was no cockpit, just commands were given by voice, but the cannons on both sides automatically rotated their bodies and adjusted the firing angle.
Uuuuuung-.
Energy began to condense in a straight-shaped crater that was elongated in the body.
and
“Fire.”
The concentrated energy was released all at once.
Puff puff puff puff peep-!!
The white rays that erupted from the two guns dispersed into hundreds of directions and swept through downtown New York.
People who were resting on the deck of the ghost ship were startled by the force that seemed to shatter heaven and earth, and leaned out of the ship.
“Ah…”
“Gasp…”
And I trembled.
The pure white light that overturned the mainland flickered for a moment.
Gurgling-!!
Green lightning exploded towards the worm that was encroaching on the city.
People who were surprised by the sight were surprised once more when they saw a dragon in mechanical armor floating near the ghost ship.
“Ah…”
Everyone looked at the city, where green thunder was constantly swirling and smoke was rising.
And even the back of the dragon and Daesung floating in the sky of the city.
The fire clinging to the city center dyes the night sky scarlet, replacing the dawn that is about to rise.
“It’s over…”
Just like someone muttered to themselves.
It was a ray of hope, signaling that the disaster that had befallen America had come to an end.
***
“Oh my god.”
“This can’t be reality…”
When the end of the war was officially declared, the people who got off the ghost ship were once again astonished at the sight of the city center from the ground level.
American cities that were once full of prosperity and vitality were transformed into ruins that looked like something out of an apocalypse movie.
No matter how many command corps steps forward, it was inevitable that monsters would run rampant and the surrounding buildings would be destroyed.
The U.S. government began recovery and relief activities throughout the country as soon as the state-of-the-art equipment that had failed was restored.
Rescue helicopters and medical staff were busy coming and going over the streets filled with grief.
“….”
Daesung released all materialized objects, including the ghost ship.
He was not going back to Korea via checkpoint right now.
Instead, I slowly walked along the ruined streets with Association President Park Jeong-ho.
“When I heard that gates around the world were blocked, I thought that peace had finally come.”
The smoke stung my nose and the sounds of people crying hurt my ears.
Faced with all that, Park Jeong-ho frowned and lamented.
“But I was mistaken. “I guess it’s still far from over.”
“yes.”
“The death of President Sakai and the presidents of each country’s associations will definitely cause great chaos, Mr. Daesung.”
“….”
“I know you were angry because those guys were suspicious of Mr. Daesung. But you were too careless. “I think it’s really cowardly of me to say something like this now, but…”
“Let’s assume.”
Daesung interrupted Park Jung-ho.
“What if I didn’t come forward today?”
“….”
“They must have been hiding in a safe bunker. Weak clans and hunters would have had a hard time. “The building would have collapsed and innocent people would have died indiscriminately.”
“…I guess so.”
“So when you look back, what did those federation guys end up doing? Hiding like a rat?”
Of course, no words to answer that question came out of Park Jeong-ho’s mouth.
Because he still could not forget the claims of the president and the presidents of the association who threw away civilians with their nonsense.
“President of the Association.”
As Daesung said that, his eyes were not looking at Park Jeong-ho, but at the ruins where restoration work was in full swing.
“I will end this war.”
“Alone… you mean?”
“I’m sorry to the president of the association, but I don’t want to trust or rely on anyone.”
Seeing the Federation’s incompetent response completely broke my faith.
Even if the army and clan do their job, they are sick of seeing the cowardly actions of the leadership responsible for them.
If the water above is dirty, there is no way the water below will be clean.
Park Jeong-ho took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
“You don’t need to apologize. “What Daesung said is not wrong.”
The United States, where the federation headquarters is stationed, is also like this.
What would have happened if a similar situation had occurred in Korea? Just thinking about it made Park Jeong-ho dizzy.
‘If that happens, in the end, the only person I can rely on is this man.’
Park Jeong-ho suddenly realized that he had blind faith in Daesung.
No matter how many hunters struggle, in the end, Daesung is the only one who can put an end to the situation.
I can’t remember ever having this much trust in just one hunter before.
But apart from that,
“It would not be impossible for Daesung to carry everything alone. However, it will be very difficult. Even if it’s Daesung.”
“Well, that could be the case.”
“…Are you okay?”
In Park Jeong-ho’s eyes, Daesung seemed to be walking a single, dangerous path.
On the other hand, I was also curious.
Why does he continue to fight such a difficult fight, calling himself such a lone wolf?
Daesung opened his mouth.
“When Country tried to assassinate me at the gate.”
“yes?”
“And when the Federation got suspicious of me and tried to subpoena me for a hearing.”
As the unexpected answer continued, Park Jeong-ho was puzzled, but for now, he stayed silent and listened.
“I hated it all. “No matter how desperately I fought and fought, all I got in return was contempt and suspicion.”
“….”
“So there were more than one time that I had the urge to just hide like this or just destroy everything as I felt like.”
When Park Jeong-ho heard those words, an eerie feeling passed through the back of his head.
Association President Chloe’s words about what would happen if Daesung and his summoned beasts became the enemies of humanity ran through my mind.
“But one day, a kid in Seattle sent me a handwritten letter thanking me.”
-Thank you! My hero!
“Also, when the Kraken appeared at Dongjak Bridge, a man hugged his family and cried and thanked me…”
– Thank you. thank you.
“Earlier, at a shelter in Manhattan, a woman bowed down to me and thanked me, holding her young child, who had not yet spoken, in her arms.”
“….”
“The people I killed probably also have families. I know. But I don’t want to take that into consideration and leave the villains alive.”
The only decision Daesung could make was the choice between death and life.
Because that was all I learned in 80 years of hell.
“But shouldn’t those who are without sin at least live?”
He said this because he, a sinless person, had been dragged to hell without knowing any reason.
“I realized this when I saw the lives I had saved.”
At this time.
It was a moment when medical staff were passing in front of Daesung, carrying a seriously injured old man on a stretcher.
Okay.
The wrinkled old man’s hand grazed his hand, held it for a moment, and
then moved away.
It was an expression of gratitude expressed by the old man with all his might, even while his consciousness was dim.
“….”
Daesung, who had been silently staring at the hand that still had a faint warmth, opened his mouth.
“One hell is enough.”
***
After that, Daesung returned to Korea via Checkpoint.
The mass media continued to report that the president of the federation and the presidents of associations from each country had died at once, including this large-scale fracture, shocking the world.
Of course, it’s not Daesung’s concern.
The important thing is,
“As you ordered, I have selected only the core elite soldiers.”
“Good work.”
This time, I was using the orihalcon I had worked so hard to save at the right time.
Daesung created the ‘Ghost King’s Territory’ inside the officetel building he purchased in its entirety.
Then, I had Dolph gather about 100 command soldiers whose skills were not that bad at the territory.
Except for Dolph, the rest are ordinary infantrymen with nothing special at first glance.
‘If Dolph himself selected it, it would be trustworthy. As far as command soldiers go, this guy knows better than me.’
Anyway, all the preparations were prepared.
Now all that remains is to put it into action.
-Select the object for which you want to activate the shape memory function.
Daesung selected all 101 summoned animals in front of him at once.
If I were to worry about each one individually, I would have to stay up all night.
-Searching for the most suitable object that can be transformed with the quantity of orihalcon currently in possession.
-Search complete. ‘Shield’
-Search completed. ‘Pike.’
-Search complete. ‘Alloy armor.’
-Consumes a total of 18350 Orihalcon.
-To activate, mention the command “deploy” towards the selected target.
Adding the 4,000 used to equip the annihilator dragon with a plasma cannon, most of the orihalcon in the water disappeared.
Of course, there is no need to regret or save. If you don’t have enough, just kill monsters and collect more.
“deployment.”
As soon as the command came out of Daesung’s mouth, a wave of nanoparticles engulfed him like a summoned beast before his eyes.
Sigh-!!
-Orihalcon activation complete.
-Activation result: ‘Force shield.’
-Results of activation. ‘Rail spear.’
-Results of activation. ‘Battle suit.’
Even as the nano waves were shaking, Daesung’s eyes became bright as he watched the results of the transformation.
“It’s nice to see.”
What would it look like if soldiers armed with medieval armor and weapons merged with future technology that surpasses even the 21st century?
The command soldier wearing a ‘battle suit’ made of special alloy was closer to a ‘cyborg army’ than a zombie.
The polearms they each held were not made of ordinary metal, but were made of plasma energy formed by a magnetic field device.
And,
“I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a shield. “Thank you for your kindness, my lord.”
Dolph held a large square shield in his left hand.
The shield is also made of a high-temperature energy shield, except for the parts with the handle.
If you use it together with the Sin Sword, there will probably be tremendous synergy.
‘They are the ones who can overwhelm most of Earth’s hunters even with worn-out spears and armor.’
That commanding soldier has now been given wings.
Unless they are formidable opponents, they will not be defeated.
“I am leaving in three days.”
Daeseong gave a request to the summoned army that had finished tuning in a serious voice filled with magical power.
“You guys have to protect Korea while I’m away.”
It would be difficult for the three of Hwang Jun-young and his group to protect the entire Korean Peninsula.
Therefore, Daesung decided to select only 100 core troops who would respond in case of emergency and deploy them throughout the Korean Peninsula.
“Defend your territory at the risk of dying twice. Do you understand?”
When the command of the Absolute is given,
go!
The command corps raised their rail spears and let out a cheer full of morale.
***
And three days later….
[Remaining time: < 00:00:00 >]
[Transfer to plane portal.]
Daesung disappeared from Earth.
