Episode 218 [ World War (2) ]
Isabelle was sitting in the center of a room that had no windows but looked clean and comfortable.
It was a girl’s room beautifully decorated in pink.
It was a room that Eve had worked hard to decorate, but instead of dolls or photos, there were only swords, equipment, and old books and CDs. Isabel was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.
king.
In front of Isabel, Bailey was rolling around the room, yawning.
It seemed very boring.
However, Isabel ignored the bored puppy and continued to look inside her body.
The mana that I had been cultivating for two years and this time had risen to another level was flowing proudly within my body.
Although he was not yet able to keep up with Uncle Kyung-hoon, Eve had praised him several times for his rapid growth.
However, Isabel found it difficult to believe what Sister Eve said.
Phew.
Isabel took a deep breath and stretched her hands forward.
She awakened the trait.
Little by little, Isabel began to awaken to new, evolved characteristics that were not her original characteristics.
From the beginning, she was able to travel through dimensional gaps.
She went one step further. Not through a dimensional gap, but beyond a wall.
Black smoke began to float in the air in front of her as she spread her hands
.
It was something that required tremendous concentration. Sweat began to well up the back of her neck.
Although it was definitely a mess, it was a trait created once when killing a monster.
Smoke gradually gathered.
Wooooow.
The smoke grew in size, forming a circle in front of her hand.
It no longer looked like smoke. A small hole was created in front of her hand.
Bailey slowly stepped back. Because every time I looked at that hole, someone came to mind.
He wasn’t a bad person, no, he was a pretty good person, but he couldn’t help but be scared.
It was still a small hole, but a proper hole was created in the air.
Isabel opened her eyes, sweating like rain. Even when she saw the dimensional corridor that appeared in front of her, her expression was not bright.
“Phew.... It’s barely like this.”
The moment she spoke, the hole turned into smoke and disappeared.
Isabelle’s face became even more dejected.
Although I tried hard, I was finally able to create something similar to a portal.
It was called a portal, but it was a small hole that could barely fit an arm. Moreover, it was a hole that disappeared as soon as I lost focus.
“How can you trust what Dave says?”
When Mr. Gyeong-hoon first acquired the trait, it was a portal to success.
Of course, her characteristics were different, but it was so difficult for her to realize this when she had developed a new characteristic... She couldn’t help but feel clearly that her talent was lacking.
Of course, it would be absurd for other awakened people to hear it.
For Kyung-hoon, starting to create a portal was a surprising amount of growth.
But she truly believed that she was not good enough.
“Plus, I have no idea what to do with the coordinates of another world. “After all, I’m a fool, a fool.”
Bailey sighed as she looked at Isabelle, who lowered her head with a gloomy face. It was something I saw every day.
But Bailey got up.
I couldn’t just leave my friend who needed comfort.
Although it was a daily occurrence, Bailey never got tired of comforting her friend.
The puppy sat at the girl’s feet and rested its head on her feet, and the girl picked the puppy up and held it in her arms.
“Yes, I will do my best. “Uncle Shane worked hard too, so I can’t complain.”
She hugged the puppy and started meditating again.
bruise.
Bailey got down on the floor and ate his appetite. It looks like I’ll have to play with the moving pieces of metal for a while.

North of Manchuria. Outskirts of the Daxing’anling Mountains.
Sigh. bang! Quang!
Shells coming from behind continued to fall into the forest. Trees burned and the ground turned upside down.
The forest connected to the Daxing’anling Mountains was burning.
Yeongcheol stared blankly at the forest while holding his sword.
Burning forest and the roar of monsters.
It wasn’t much different from the last sight I saw before I died.
At that time, it was a forest on a plain near the Nakdong River, and now it is a forest connected to a high mountain range, but the burning forest did not look any different.
It felt like the nightmare had come back.
“shit! shit!”
He bit his lip hard. Blood flowed from his lip, but he didn’t feel it.
Youngcheol looked around.
Fortunately, the surroundings were different from then.
All around him were soldiers full of despair, but their expressions did not look that way right now.
Everyone looked nervous, but there was no soldier who gave up or became frustrated anywhere.
The awakened person assigned to him was also different from the boy that day.
He was a light-looking man who kept complaining from the first time we met.
“Do you think it makes sense to serve in the military twice? Since I’ve been working on security for a while, it only makes sense to deploy them to the front line like this. “It’s a shame because I’m a good person, or I would have called someone else’s back and run away.”
He was an earth-type awakened person named Gyu-Gyu.
Although he seemed very noisy and casual, he quickly became friends with the soldiers.
And now the second monster was also carrying a spear.
Boom.
Yeongcheol couldn’t believe his eyes.
The defense shield was clearly broken the moment the spear was impaled.
Bullets rained down on the monster.
It was a monster whose shield had disappeared. The bullets pierced the skin and inflicted fatal injuries on the monster.
Kuaaaaaa!
The monster resembling an Asiatic black bear fell down.
Yeongcheol looked around in amazement.
The same was true elsewhere.
Kwajik.
Ta-ta-ta-tang.
The Awakened broke the monster’s defense shield with a spear. Soldiers were defeating monsters.
“This is ridiculous.”
It was a sight I had never seen before in my previous life.
But now we were at war. I shouldn’t have been distracted like this.
“It’s dangerous!”
A warning rang in his ears.
He came to his senses immediately.
But it was too late.
Whoops!
A huge red bear was swinging its claws at him.
At least elite. No, it was more than that.
Even if I had recognized it in advance, it was a monster that I couldn’t stop.
Yeongcheol raised his sword with a pale face.
Clink.
But it was immediately broken by the black claws.
Yeongcheol’s face turned black.
It was that moment.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
Suddenly, the sound of machine guns echoed across the field.
A hail of bullets passed by Yeongcheol.
The bullets mysteriously avoided Yeongcheol and rained down on the bear’s body.
Puff puff!
The defense shield was breached and blood spurted out from the bear’s body.
It was a shield that was impervious to Vulcan cannons.
Just getting pierced by a machine gun.
thud.
Absurdly, the high-level monster that resembled a brown bear fell backwards after being hit by a machine gun.
Youngcheol looked back.
There stood a man in a black helmet holding a machine gun.
“Helmet Man?”
A sudden thought occurred to him, so he spoke up, but before he knew it, Gyu-kyung came up to him and denied what he said.
“Huh? It’s not?”
Yeongcheol was out of his mind. I couldn’t even suspect how Gyu-kyung knew that.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
A deep voice came from inside the helmet. Perhaps because he was wearing a helmet, the voice rang out.
“It’s okay,”
Youngcheol managed to reply.
“But. Who are you?”
Gyu-kyu asked on behalf of Yeong-cheol.
“EV has provided support.”
A man wearing a helmet pointed to his clothes. He was wearing a black body armor unique to the EV special team.
And on his shoulder was a moving pattern unique to EV.
It was a person from EV.
The hand of the person wearing the helmet was Jeongguk. “Isn’t that the
one who got hurt?”
The man’s hands were wrapped in bandages. Moreover, bandages were visible on his neck and ankles.
“Oh, it’s because of the scars.”
The man waved his bandaged hand.
Perhaps because of the shooting just now, the bandage had slipped down.
The man hastily wrapped the bandage again.
The man with the bandage wrapped hurriedly greeted the two people.
“Then, I will support another unit. I have to...”
Just as he said, the battle had just begun. There were more than one place where help was needed. The
man wearing the helmet also had a very unique way of greeting.
He raised and lowered his hand over his helmet. It was as if he wasn’t even using it. It seemed like
he was saying hello by taking off his hat. He hurriedly ran towards another battlefield.
Watching the man with the helmet walking away, Gyu-kyung tilted his head.
“Was it not a scar, but a prosthetic arm?”
This was because the hand with the bandage removed showed a mechanical hand made of metal instead of a scar.
