Chapter 143

Episode 143 [End of the Earth. The Beginning of the Sea (6) ]

Kwasik.

Kyung-hoon’s fist penetrated the stomach of the overturned spider.

It was something that had never been possible before.

It is said that the defense shield disappeared after death, but it was a shell that could only be broken through with a sword.

However, once I reached S-class, I was able to do it with my shield-covered fists.

I found the mana stone quickly. He pulled out a mana stone.

A large jewel was sparkling beautifully on my hand.

“It seems really different now.”

My strength changed, but I felt like I was seeing things I hadn’t seen before.

The mana that flows from the mana stone and

the mana that disappears from the body of a dead monster.

Manado filled the world.

Lastly, I could see all of Shane’s mana that was barely flowing.

Kyung-hoon looked at the robot holding the machine gun.

“Eve, did you know about Shane’s condition?”

-Yes, I have been doing it alone for over ten years without any professional repairs. There is no way it can be perfect. I was planning on making a suggestion right after this incident. Kyung-hoon nodded at Eve’s words.

“Is everything repairable?”

-Parts other than the emblem and mana can be replaced with more enhanced performance. However, research on patterns is still lacking.

“I need to speed up my research a little more.”

Research by SG Electronics and the American company Natas were all organized into Eve’s database.

A lot of technology has been developed for patterns and mana, but it is still not enough to keep up with the technology of this world.

“It’s fascinating. How can only one field make such progress? “Even if it’s a wartime situation, it’s hard to understand.”

Unfortunately, Eve and Shane didn’t know why.

“Then shall we bring the portal equipment?”

Kyung-hoon took out a sniper rifle from his backpack.

He pointed the muzzle of his sniper rifle toward the sky.

Little spiders were just landing on top. These were spiders that came after destroying the battery installed in the building.

Although the web was already more than half broken, small spiders had landed on the membrane and were gathering in the center.

The spiders didn’t even care about the dead spider monster. A corpse without a mana stone was just food.

For the spiders, the cocoon wrapped in spider webs in the center seemed to be more important than everything else.

bang!

A spider burst out. It was a spider attached right to the cocoon.

bang! bang!

This time, no spider monsters were shot.

Drop, drop.

Instead, the lines connected to the cocoon broke one after another.

The surprised spiders ran towards the cocoon like crazy, but the bullet was faster.

Bang bang.

As the remaining strings broke, the cocoon fell down.

Kaaaaaaa!

Spiders jumped down, following the falling cocoon.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

However, the spider monsters were subjected to a barrage of machine guns before they reached the ground.

Before we knew it, Shane, holding a gun, was firing bullets at the spiders.

puck! puck! puck! puck!

Only a few spiders reached the ground alive. All of those spiders lost their lives to Gyeonghoon’s sword.

The returning spiders were quickly cleared away.

Kyung-hoon cut open the fallen cocoon and looked inside.

It was as expected.

An object similar to the machine found in Daegu was inside the cocoon.

It was portal equipment.

This too was a little broken. Kyung-Hoon could feel mana flowing out of the machine.

Just like in Daegu, monsters went on a rampage to obtain this mana.

“If you have this, you don’t need anything else, right?”

-yes. That’s enough.

Kyung-hoon stuffed the portal machine into his backpack.

Kyunghoon looked at his backpack and sighed. It seemed like this backpack was slowly reaching its limit.

Although it was made of monster leather, it had been so hard on Kyung-hoon’s back... I was almost grateful that it had held up until now.

Now I got everything I wanted. Moreover, I was able to meet Shane, whom I had never expected to meet.

“Creating a corridor.”

With his words, a silver hole was created in the floor where they stood.

The robot, Kyung-hoon, and the portal equipment were sucked into the hole.

After they disappeared, the silver hole turned into smoke and disappeared into the sky.

Cry.

The monster watched the silver powder disappear for a moment and then turned around again.

It was an unusual sight, but now was not the time to observe such things.

The monster shook its helmet and looked at the corpses filling the front.

A huge sea monster corpse was lying long on the white sand beach. It was a sea monster that had just died.

There was no smell of human gunpowder on the corpse, but the wounds were not from a fight between sea monsters.

And where the Stone of Life should be, there was only a small hole.

He, who has lived the longest other than the monarch, has seen that hole. It was a hole made by humans to extract mana stones.

One after another, the clans came up to the beach. And livestock also came out of the sea.

The clan members got up and put on the armor that the livestock had brought with them.

Knights in armor lined up in front of the corpses that filled the shore.

And they knelt before the corpse. The toads lined up behind them and fell flat on their faces.

Quaguaguagua.

And a huge pillar rose from the sea.

It was an earth dragon.

The monarch of Cheonggyecheon has finally arrived in Busan.

The appearance of the earth dragon was different from before. One eye disappeared. Where the eyes used to be, only long teeth marks remained.

And his body was covered in huge wounds.

These were all scars from fighting with the ruler of Ulsan.

It was a wound that would take several years to heal after returning to the nest.

But the earth dragon had no nest.

The earth dragon looked down.

Knights and livestock were greeting him, but all he saw was the corpse of a sea monster filling the sand.

The earth dragon began eating the sea monster’s corpse. Now, the monarch’s majesty was no longer visible from the earth dragon.

The earth dragon’s remaining eye was shining yellow.

***

Clap, Clap, Clap.

A loud sound filled the room.

From the sound of welding to the sound of wheels rolling. And the sound of heavy footsteps.

It was all the sound of machines moving.

A small sound of wind could be heard among the sounds.

Whirring.

And then a silver hole appeared in the floor. It wasn’t a dimension door. It was a space door.

Wow.

Kyunghoon and Shane jumped out of the hole.

chin.

The two landed stably on the ground.

Instead of getting angry at Kyung-hoon, Shane looked around.

It was a large empty building.

It was a really big building. Inside the building, there were places where ruined streets had been recreated and there were places where forests had been relocated.

I could see a desert and a river, but now they were all being demolished.

Large industrial robots were moving around and changing their internal structures.

Automated machines were producing items on one side, and cameras and automated machines installed throughout monitored the surroundings.

“Golem?”

Shane recognized the robot. It was a mana stone industrial robot that I saw in the lab.

And there was no human figure anywhere.

“Where am I?”

Kyung-hoon did not answer his question.

Instead, Eve answered through the building’s speakers.

[welcome. my house No, you have come to the master’s strategic base.]

The machines that were moving along with Eve’s words stopped in place.

All automatic weapons raised their guns to the sky, and the golems stopped and looked at the two people.

Kyunghoon shook his head with a dumbfounded expression. No matter how you look at it, Eve’s comment in the middle was not a mistake.

The Adventure Building in Jamsil, which had been an ‘Awakened Training Center’ until recently, was now Eve’s laboratory and home.

Kyung-hoon walked ahead carrying a bundle of machinery.

“Let’s go. It’s time for Shane to get cleaned up too.”
