Episode 138
[What? They’re hunting me! How dare these people!]
That’s the reaction from before.
Lee Ryong-hwa must have been shocked to learn that the people he had been seeking cooperation with were actually aiming for his head.
Anyone can have a goal like that, it’s just a shame.
“….”
After getting all the information I needed from Lee Ryong-hwa, I took a step back.
I could see my eyes going blank due to brainwashing.
Since he was a guy who was constantly on the edge of his seat, he must be feeling more at ease now.
I won’t kill you like I promised. Instead, they won’t do anything, so I don’t know what will happen.
[How is that different from killing someone?]
Because I’m not killing them with my own hands.
[Wow!]
I came out without responding to Yongyong’s admiring reaction.
Because Lee Ryong-hwa did not resist, no one knew that I had infiltrated. At night, all the lights in the dormitory were turned off, so surveillance was lax.
I hid myself in the dark and crossed the hideout.
Perhaps because Yongyong trusted this guy, the location of the hideout was not designed for defense, but was located in an open area that was convenient for vehicles to pass by.
If you touch it roughly, it will fly out in all directions.
This is all because of Yongyong.
[Why is this my fault?]
So is it my fault?
There are two ways to process this many numbers at once. The first is to block the escape route, and the second is to remove the top leaders first, losing the chain of command and wiping them out while they are confused.
Looking at the location of the hideout, I thought the former would be difficult, so I naturally chose the latter.
Because it was not that big, it was easy to find where the Chinese person in charge was. It was easy to find not because I was a beginner, but because it was the largest and most luxurious accommodation.
By the way, if the opponent is a superhuman, I think the sound will come out even if you kill him.
I told Yongyong.
‘Hey, can you keep the sound from flowing?’
[That’s basic.]
‘Try not to let the sound escape from here.’
[Do you know what kind of subordinate I am?]
This Yongyong guy has no way of knowing and is rebelling. I clicked my tongue and said.
‘Can’t you see I’m trying to clean your front yard right now? Don’t you know that if you leave it here, the number of people will continue to increase? Why don’t you fight and make everyone here run out? ‘Do you think some of them won’t go to Mt. Baekdu?’
[Oh, really? Um, okay. But you can only block sound. No shock waves.]
‘That’s fine.’
I watched Yongyong unfold his transparent force shield and then entered the dormitory.
A middle-aged man with a stubborn face was holding a glass of alcohol inside the dormitory without even noticing me coming inside.
This guy is Wang Min, a Chinese superhuman.
Just by looking at him, he appears to be behaving arbitrarily.
My gaze met in the air with the guy who was just smoking a cigarette.
“Who are you…”
I stretched out my hand before his voice came out.
Wang Min, startled, threw his glass and took a defensive stance, but my mine was faster.
Puzzle!
Even though he was hit by a mine, his left arm was not broken. The majestic force is violently resisting. However, the real utility of mines is to prevent them from penetrating inside and exerting their power.
He couldn’t withstand my second and third attacks and his bones began to crack.
Quad deuk!
“Ugh!”
As his arm broke, he groaned and stumbled. But that was intentional. There was a sword placed in the direction the body was tilted.
When I saw him stretching out his hand, I fired a mine and destroyed the table.
Boom!
Although my intention was defeated, I did not give up. He clenched his fists and tried to fight me until the end. Even if I tried my best, I didn’t know whether I would survive or not, but in a situation where I couldn’t use my strength properly, the outcome was obvious.
Quack! Kwazijic!
Before he could hold out for long, his right arm was broken and his shoulder was crushed.
The aftermath of the impact devastated the room, but thanks to Yongyong, the noise did not go outside. But it seemed enough to be noticed from the outside. I have to deal with it quickly.
The man who had been hit by a mine on both shins ended up losing his balance, stumbling, and falling to his knees when the mine hit him again.
“You coward!”
I became thoughtful and spoke Chinese, and I felt like I knew what he was saying.
Originally, all these guys were like that.
When they win, they talk about how the winner is justified and blah, blah, blah, and when they are in a disadvantageous situation, they talk about being cowardly and all that.
Whenever that happens, my reaction is the same.
So what should I do?
Who told you to let your guard down and drink?
Otherwise, I should have maintained my tension even when drinking.
If you are dissatisfied, at least have your subordinates erect a folding screen.
“Try to be cowardly next time.”
If you’re alive by then.
The head of the guy who tried to open his mouth was mercilessly smashed.
puck!
The head exploded and the body fell to the floor, spewing out blood and brain fluid. After killing Wang Min, I looked around the room. There was a map hanging on the wall and several bases were marked, all of which I had seen before. There was also a place nearby that was believed to be a supply base. I guess I’ll have to remove it here too.
After telling Yongyong that there was no need to maintain soundproofing anymore, I came out.
It was soundproofed, but was it because of the shock waves?
The awakened people were gathered in front of the dormitory.
Did the plan go awry? at all.
It was actually nice to be able to handle it all at once.
“%^[email protected]!”
He saw me and cast a storm of blades at the approaching awakeners.
In a scene of blood and flesh scattering, the guys screamed and scattered in all directions, but they swung their swords mercilessly.
Although it doesn’t have the same touch as a mine, this gift, which combines Nuri’s Blade Storm and Oh Jong-yeop’s Slash, is specialized for dealing with enemies.
Those who gathered together fired mines at those who tried to escape in a storm of blades.
There was also an auxiliary battery given to me by Yongyong, so I was able to pour out gifts without worrying about using up the force.
It didn’t take long for the surrounding area to turn into hell amid the pouring death.
Then I heard a familiar voice calling my name.
“Choi Choi Jun-ho!”
These are familiar faces I saw in Pyongyang. They are awakened people who were part of the National Security Agency. When I saw them at the Presidential Palace, I remembered not being able to breathe properly for fear that they would offend me.
These are the guys who cherished my life so much, but I faced them like this.
I responded by casting Bladestorm at them.
“Oh, no!”
The white-faced guy desperately tried to cast the Force Blade to deflect the storm of blades, but was torn apart by the force blades rushing in once and twice.
The obsession with life is so futile.
Having reduced the awakened members of the National Security Agency who had once taken care of me to flesh and blood, I went around the hideout and dealt with the remaining ones.
The awakened people, who decided that the situation was going awry, dispersed and began to run away.
Normally, it would have been difficult to chase him. No matter how good I was at killing the fleeing guys, there were limits to time, distance, and tracking in pursuit of enemies scattered in all directions.
But this time, Yongyong exists.
Yongyong, who had this area as his territory, provided information on all living humans through spatial movement and detection.
It’s nice to be able to find every enemy.
“Hee hee! Save me…”
Puck!
[Clean, clean, clean.]
I moved to a place about 10 km away from the hideout and took care of the last remaining awakened person.
“Are there any more?”
[Yes, I killed them all.]
After hearing what Yongyong said, I headed not to the hideout but to the supply base located in the north.
The supply base was located in a nearby Chinese city.
It was home to hundreds of thousands of people, but perhaps because it was deep in the early morning, they were sleeping in the darkness.
There were even very few people standing guard around the area.
This way, an intruder can move around as he pleases.
[Not all intruders are people like you.]
Yongyong says unnecessary things.
Since it was a supply base, you might think that they would naturally destroy the supplies, but I thought differently.
Since all the people to receive supplies were dead anyway, I planned to kill only the person in charge of the supply base and escape.
[Don’t you usually burn all your supplies?]
That’s right. But if the supplies were destroyed, there would be an uproar, so there was no need to escalate the incident.
The name of this operation is assassination.
But the security of the upper house was much stricter than expected.
There were more people there than where the superhuman I killed was. Anyone who sees it will think that a king has arrived.
However, although there were only a large number of people, the attitude of the awakened people on guard was lax.
I guess they have a complacent mind wondering if someone will break in here.
It wasn’t difficult to sneak inside. When I entered the room, I found a room decorated much more luxuriously than I expected, and a large man was asleep and drunk.
First of all, isn’t he a superhuman? Is this city mayor? Or maybe someone from the party.
It has nothing to do with me.
I reached out and crushed the heart with a mine.
puck!
The man’s body shook from the impact, but the shock was so great that he could not scream and fell limp.
Life is fleeting.
[What is that? He was a member of the standing committee?]
He was quite a high-ranking man.
I heard Yongyong muttering with one ear, ignored it, and went straight to where the hideout was.
The place where only blood stains and flesh remained was like an apocalyptic landscape swept by a horde of zombies.
Corpses with broken heads scattered everywhere.
If I leave it like this, I think I’ll know that I did it.
[How many times do you have to break your head before another human being sees this and realizes it was your doing?]
That’s right.
It doesn’t really matter if you get caught, but it would be better to eliminate any traces if possible.
I shifted my gaze to Yongyong.
“Let’s assume it was you who killed all the guys here.”
[why me? I didn’t kill anyone?]
I’m not paying attention. This is why they were almost used and hunted by humans.
[Because I’m not being hunted? Do you think I will be punished because there are only so many people?]
“You don’t know that.”
[I can’t really show you my skills.]
“Then you can show me.”
[Huh?]
Yongyong asked.
This guy was truly ignorant in all the wrong ways.
“Let’s just assume what happened today is what you did. Then you will realize your power and those guys over there will not be able to treat you carelessly.”
[Actually, the difference between a mere human and the great blue dragon is as big as heaven and earth!]
Even during this, I keep my nose high.
No, I’ll take this opportunity to test my skills.
“Then blow up everything here.”
[Do you really have to do that?]
“Don’t you have that level of ability?”
[There is none! Of course this is easy!]
“Try it.”
[Ugh! I have to show my skills while being used by humans.]
Yongyong’s alter ego rose into the sky.
When it reached a height that was beyond the sight of ordinary people, it was engulfed in a dazzling light and soon a huge fuselage appeared.
Its body length alone was enormous, exceeding 300 meters. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that was longer than 30 meters among monsters, but it was ten times that size.
Is that why they call it a divine beast? Even maintaining a body the size of mine would not be easy using ordinary means.
[Human.]
Yongyong’s widened eyes turn to me. It gave off a different sense of intimidation than when I was self-immolating, and I had a tickling feeling in my head.
I just brushed it off, but I thought that an unprepared person might have gone crazy from the mental shock.
Pretending to be strong over something that isn’t a big deal.
As if reading my thoughts, Yongyong looked down with cold eyes and fixed his gaze on the hideout.
[—–!]
A strange voice that could not be interpreted as human language rang out. At the same time, the force created an explosive flow and showed strange movements that I could not understand.
Was it possible to use this amount of force at once?
A moment later the world turned upside down.
The morning sky at dawn became dark, and dozens of lightning bolts began to strike the hideout through the dark clouds.
Boom! Boom! Gurgling! Pretzel Gwang!
Is this what Operation Scorched Earth is like? The thunderbolts cast by the blue dragon struck endlessly until the target was completely destroyed.
When the lightning disappeared, what was revealed was a huge pit with no remains left. There is no trace of the hideout once built by China for its territorial ambitions.
This is complete destruction of evidence. I wish I had a gift like that too.
I was jealous. If I catch Yongyong and copy his gift, will I be able to use that ability?
I wish I could massage your heart once.
Shall I tell you?
On a rare occasion, I felt a desire arise and I remembered a promise I had forgotten.
“Oh right.”
You decided to save Lee Ryong-hwa, right? I forgot.
Still, since it was Yongyong who killed him, not me, I did not break my promise.
I remembered it late so I can’t help it.
Rather, I need to talk to Yongyong.
But the guy acted faster.
[Don’t make nonsense. Go back, human.]
This damned Yongyong read my thoughts. He kicked me out without the slightest hesitation.
I thought about resisting, but since my thoughts were revealed, I accepted it.
When I realized that the surrounding scenery had changed, Yongyong’s clone was wandering around me.
It was near Baekdu Mountain, and before I knew it, it had flown near Pyongyang.
[So who would think such a creepy idea?]
“….”
You got a kick out of it.
