Chapter 61: Entangled and Unraveled (5)

"What do you mean by 'master-? You-re one of the top hunters in the country."

I feigned ignorance and asked calmly. If he was referring to a master, it would naturally be a player or a unit.

What bothered me more was that he seemed unaware of my true identity. I couldnt be sure if he genuinely didnt know or if he was pretending.

"Of course, it might seem odd for a hunter who fights with his own abilities to have a master, but its true. Weve established a new organization. I rushed over as soon as it was set up.

"A new organization, you say?

"An organization that can help ordinary people, who cant keep up with the drastic changes, to resist and adapt to the new world.

His expression seemed sincere. I judged that, at least, he didnt seem to be deceiving me.

"If youre interested, please contact us. Wed love to have you.

He stopped speaking there.

I subtly made room for him. He stood quietly in front of his cousins corpse.

Apparently, Yoon Soo Ah had deceived those around her and secretly gathered resources to come here.

It wasnt easy to judge. Whether his words were sincere or what kind of picture he was painting.

Even if were tied to the game, in the end, we have to kill each other, dont we?Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"Have you made up your mind already?

He spoke without turning to look at me as I approached.

"Id like to hear more about it. And I want to become stronger.

"Youre currently affiliated with Evolution. May I ask how you got in there? Cha Ji Yeon, shes not an ordinary hunter. Shes as irrational as I am.

He turned to me and brought up Cha Ji Yeon.

I obviously knew she was a unit.

So I intended to listen to what he had to say. The words of a man who calls himself irrational.

"Its not a short story.

Ji Chang Hyun began to explain to me about the app, the game, players, and units right there.

What I, who already knew all of this, paid attention to was his attitude. *

[Hes a bit busy right now. I sent a notification, but its not a situation where he can monitor in real time.]

"I dont really care.

The legion, which had only stuck its physical head out from the ground, pulled out its hidden body.

Meanwhile, Kang Do Yeon, with a furrowed brow, analyzed the information currently being collected by the legion.

-Large group of lifeforms detected-

From the lower floors, they unveiled their presence. A horde of pitch-black creatures surged in. The golems, who had existed as ordinary stones, instantly sparked their hostility as programmed. They were indifferent to whether the enemy was destructive bacteria or not.

-Execute extermination order, annihilate all group lifeforms-

The command systems limitations prevented the golems from selectively killing only the bacteria. Any creature that acted in groups became a target for the golems. With a thumping vibration, the golems instantly assembled.

They werent lifeforms. They were simply entities that moved as commanded.

-Exterminate-

The assembled golems charged recklessly, relying on their mass and size. No lifeform, not even the most destructive bacteria, could match their aggression and indifference.

"Knock them down!

Their opponents were equally aggressive and ruthless.

With a thunderous explosion, the ground erupted. Mining-type legion soldiers, modeled after the giant underworld terrain dog, had been lying in wait. They sprang up all at once, detonating the ground where the golems had been standing. The strange vibration the golems had detected was due to this.

-Searching for countermeasures-

The golems, having fallen and rolled on the ground, quickly rose. But this time, they were met with a dark red strike launched by Kang Do Yeon. The explosive energy emitted by the resonance of the power engine implanted in her body and her sword was of the same category as the energy that the golems master had implanted in them.

-Counter...-

The bodies of the golems, impervious to ordinary teeth and claws, were sliced and exploded like tofu.

Crush them.

The legion trampled the golems with a new tactic. The mining-type legion soldiers and the assault-type legion soldiers, modeled after the cave python, were all large species of soldiers, larger and heavier than the golems.

All had undergone the legions modification, their size and strength were at a level that could never be achieved by the cave creatures. They suppressed the golems, who had been fighting with their mass, by overpowering them.

[Simply suppressing them wont end it. They dont feel pain or fatigue.]

"So, we need to get this.

Kang Do Yeon, her eyes glowing red, stood on the chest of a subdued golem, aimed her sword, and drove it straight down. She retrieved the power engine that had been ejected from the golem.

It was the size of her head.

The other high-ranking legion soldiers, who also had power engines implanted in their hearts, used their formative force in their own ways to break the golems resistance, destroy the power engines, and extract them.

Its a bit different from the legions method, more similar to the Moonlight Elves method.

The complex spells drawn and engraved on the power engine were similar to the magic of the Moonlight Elves they had met in the past. In other words, it took only a few seconds to reverse-engineer and analyze it.

It will be easier to use.

"Ugh."

Right then, the legion modified the bodies of the high-ranking legion soldiers, including Kang Do Yeon. From her outstretched hand, something resembling a fine root grew and burrowed into the core of the golem she was holding.
