Chapter 186

Episode 186 [Fortress (1)]

‘You can’t believe you’re attacking your own people! Don’t you know that if you absorb the mana of your own people, your rank will drop?’

As their compatriots died, they poured out angry messages. But the monster had no intelligence left to understand the message.

The monster only greedily extracted mana from the mana stones of its dead compatriots and ate it.

One, two, three, the number of corpses of the compatriots increased, and the monster’s appearance gradually changed.

As the monster’s level fell, its body changed and became simpler.

‘The race that fell into the abyss will eventually destroy everyone!’

The moment the last of its kind disappeared screaming, there was nothing left of the monster that could be called a body.

The land of the extinct clan was filled with only green fog.

thud!

The fog drifted. A loud sound came from far above.

thud!

I heard the sound again.

The monster woke up from its sleep.

It felt like I had had a long dream.

A dream before it became like this. But the monster did not understand the dream itself. There is no such intelligence left anymore.

The monster that woke up only felt extremely hungry.

The monster woke up to its senses. I could feel delicious mana from afar.

Fortunately, the mana was felt within the area the monster was supposed to protect.

It’s been a long time since I ate the last mana. It seemed like the hungry monster could eat anything as long as it had mana.

Moreover, the mana I felt now was a mana that contained a very beautiful and powerful energy.

Srurr.

The monster began to spread its tentacles.

The prey was caught. It’s hunting time.

Inside a dark item warehouse. The green fog slowly spread outward.

*

Boom!

A large cut ceiling fell down.

thud!

The dust that had accumulated for a long time rose up.

chin.

Kyung-hoon got down on the floor and waved his hand to blow away the dust.

The place where he got off was a large passageway surrounded by concrete walls. One side of the passage led underground, and the other side was blocked by a huge iron door.

He looked at the iron gate and shook his head.

“There is a weak point in a place like this...”

The fortress gate was made of several meters thick iron plates that were difficult to penetrate even with Gyeonghun’s sword.

However, the exterior wall around the door was only covered with concrete. Of course, this concrete wall was thick enough to be difficult for most bombs to penetrate, but for Kyung-hoon, it only took a little more time.

Kyung-hoon dug some ground above the iron gate and came down through the concrete with his sword.

-It is difficult to see it as a weakness. It would not have been easy to break through with regular equipment.

It was just a fortress built before the Awakened and monsters appeared. It may have been a powerful fortress at the time, but now it is just an unsafe underground fortress.

“It’s dark. “Wasn’t there a mana stone generator here?”

-It could simply be that the electricity went out.

Anyway, it wasn’t a very good situation.

The electronic equipment inside the fortress had to be kept alive. If electronic equipment was damaged, satellites and nuclear weapons were just useless items.

Kyung-hoon adjusted his sword and walked into the tunnel.

*

I guessed the size of the tunnel with the railroad and road, but the fortress carved out of the mountain was truly huge.

After going down the tunnel for a while, Gyeonghoon was greeted by a large square.

Inside the square, numerous tanks, armored vehicles, and various military equipment were lying covered in dust.

Drones were flying around the square and Kyung-hoon was impressed when he saw the equipment.

“I don’t think it’s stockpiled equipment...”

The equipment lined up in the square looked like it could be moved right away if it wasn’t dusty.

Drones identified armored vehicles and tanks.

-There are traces of remains around the equipment and on armored vehicles and tanks. It looks like they were wiped out while waiting for battle.

Kyung-hoon also saw the remains scattered on the floor. The bones were stained green.

-There are still many challenges ahead.

“It will be okay.”

Kyung-hoon headed back to the satellite control center with an expression full of anticipation.

Although there were a few broken lights, the hallways were bright and even the doors that had been locked due to a power outage had green lights.

“Thank goodness. I don’t have to break down the doors.”

-The doors are secured so no one can enter.

But Kyung-hoon was not worried. There was a security card next to the remains, and he had Eve, a hacking expert.

Kyung-hoon entered the satellite control center again.

Wow.

Control center. It was different from before.

Ding ding ding

The lights on the control panel were coming on one after another. The large cathode ray tube screens were also turning on one after another.

Continents on the world map appeared on the screen, and after a while, several waveforms appeared on the screen.

-The orbits of artificial satellites. Fortunately, it seems that communication has been established with the satellites.

Kyung-hoon sighed in relief. To be honest, he was more nervous than expected. The

drones passed over the control panel and confirmed. After a while, Eve said:

-Now I It’s time to act. Please connect your cell phone to the terminal on the central control panel.

Kyung-hoon took out his cell phone and connected it to the terminal that Eve mentioned.

-After confirming the structure, we will take over the control. It will take a while.

Kyung-hoon responded to Eve’s words . He grinned,

“It doesn’t matter if it takes a lot.”

There was no reason to rush anyway. The power problem was solved and the satellite could be moved, so all we had to do was check the nuclear weapons and go look at the relics. While Eve was hacking the computer

in the control center, Kyung-hoon looked into the control room. There

were remains scattered in the control room as well. . The remains collapsed on the control panel, the remains scattered on the floor, and even the remains with their arms outstretched towards the door. The

images of the remains showed the horrors of that day.

“It was green poison...”

All the remains here were also green. It was stained..

“Huh? Isn’t it just the remains?”

Kyung-hoon blinked.

Not only the bones looked green. The floor and the machine were also dyed green.

No, it wasn’t the floor and the machine that turned green. The color of the air had changed. The air was dyed green.

Suddenly . I was dizzy.

‘No way?’

Kyung-hoon immediately generated mana. Mana spread throughout his body, and suddenly a shield spread over his skin.

Papa-pa-pa-pak!

Green flames sprang up on the shield.

Flames were also rising inside Kyung-hoon’s body. Kyung-hoon’s mana invaded his body. A poison was burning.

All the poison that had invaded his body was burned and the shield was blocking the external poison, but Kyung-hoon’s expression was serious. The

shield was not able to block all the poison. The poison that had invaded inside was also burning with mana, but the mana The cost was too great. It could be prevented now, but there was no guarantee that it would be possible if the poison became stronger.

Kyung-hoon ran towards the cell phone and shouted,

“It’s poison! Stop the work!”

-Ah... I understand!

Kyung-hoon snatched the cell phone and ran out of the control room.

Flames continued to rise above Kyung-hoon’s shield.

“Where does the poison come from?”

-The lower concentration is higher. It is thought to come up from underground.

*

As Eve said, the poison fog started in the underground warehouse.

But this poisonous fog was no ordinary fog.

The monster could feel its prey fleeing. However, like other prey, it was too late to recognize this prey.

This basement was already full of monster mana.

The monster moved its tentacles. A thick green fog moved along the passageway, blocking the exit and filling the square with tentacles.

Now there was nowhere for the prey to escape.

The monster stood up.

The mana stone, surrounded by green fog, rose into the air.

The green mana stones piled up in the fog left the item warehouse, where only the mana stones had lost their light, and began to move towards the prey.
