Episode 257 [ Overlord (4) ]
Weasels with bat wings spread their skin wide and attacked.
Boom.
The sword moved smoothly, and the Awakened passed through the sharp claws of the weasels.
Pop!
Blood spread down the tree, and before we knew it, the dismembered weasels fell to the ground.
Kyung-hoon stepped on the tree branch and continued moving forward as if nothing had happened.
The forest was teeming with monsters that had come down from the top of the mountain.
They were monsters that looked like a mixture of several animals, including a wolf with a rabbit face and a hyena with a bird face.
Like the monarch-level monsters at the top of the mountain, the monsters here also seemed determined to block everything that came their way.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t care about anything other than the monster that was attacking him.
There were monsters that threw stones, screamed, and used their special abilities to get in the way, but there was no reason to pay attention anymore.
We could have moved forward by wiping out everyone, but there was absolutely no reason to do so.
The higher we climbed the mountain, the less forest there became.
Tree sizes also became smaller, and grasslands and wastelands began to replace forests.
Kyung-hoon eventually had no choice but to come down from the tree.
Kyaaaaaak.
The monsters were happy and attacked.
Quaaaang!
And the next moment, the monsters were torn to pieces and bounced in all directions.
The ground turned over and the area around Kyung-hoon became empty.
Inside the pit, Kyung-Hoon threw the sword with only the handle remaining on the floor.
My level went up so I could no longer break the sword, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t break the sword.
Rather, the power of the shattered sword was stronger than before. As the level increased and more mana could be infused, the power was bound to become stronger.
Gyeong-hoon, who threw away his sword, took out two machine guns from subspace and held them in both hands. It was a mana machine gun used by Shane.
Tudadadada.
He ran forward again, firing his gun at the approaching monsters.
*
The summit of Mt. Baekdu.
Unlike the other monarchs, the monkey monarch outside the crater opened his eyes and looked down the mountain.
This was because the men he brought with him kept dying.
And the man who killed his subordinates continued to approach the top of the mountain.
Now, with the monarch’s excellent eyesight, he began to see humans approaching.
He was a strong awakener.
Even though they were using man-made toys, with that level of firepower and movement, it was enough to make me want to compete with them one-on-one.
[It’s a shame.]
Grrrr.
The monkey-faced monarch increased the flames on his head.
I wanted to fight, but now I had to follow orders.
The monarch was dumbfounded that he had risen to this level and still had to receive orders.
But it was unavoidable.
Sigh!
The Monkey Lord spread his bat wings.
The orders he received were to block the enemy’s approach by any means necessary, not through fair confrontation.
His wings flapped and his huge body began to rise into the sky.
The monarchs inside the crater also saw the monkey monarch flying into the sky, and Gyeonghoon, who was climbing the mountain while destroying monsters, also saw the flame monkey flying in the sky.
A huge fireball began to form in both hands of the Flame Monkey.
“You can’t be attacked first.”
Kyung-hoon threw away the machine gun he was holding in both hands and took out a rail gun from subspace.
Flame Monkey threw a fireball.
Hurrrr.
At the same time, Gyeonghoon also mounted the mana stone on the rail gun.
It only took a moment for Gyeonghoon’s mana to pour into the mana stone and for the mana stone to explode.
Kyung-hoon finished preparing in an instant and fired the mana stone.
The railgun was fired toward the northern sky, where the fireball of the Monkey Lord was flying.
bang!
The mana stone, fired seven times faster than the speed of sound, passed through the fireball.
Kwaaaaang!
A fireball exploded in the sky, and the mana stone that pierced the fireball exploded the wing shield of the monster behind it.
One wing was mangled and the Monkey Lord fell to the ground.
Quang!
The fireball placed on the other hand exploded when it hit the ground.
It was incredible firepower.
The area around where the Monkey Lord fell was covered in flames.
-Did you catch it?
“No way.”
Just as Kyung-hoon said, a huge silhouette emerged from the flames.
thud. thud.
The Monkey Lord walked out of the flames.
It was as if a giant on fire was walking out. The Monkey Lord had flames covering not just his head but his entire body.
The shattered wings were also engulfed in flames, making it difficult to even tell that they were injured.
It was a close call, but it seemed possible to fire.
He took out the mana stone, attached it to the rail gun, and aimed the rail gun at the pattern spread out on the heavens and earth of Mt. Baekdu. Honestly, it didn’t seem like it would work on the overlord, so the overlord used the mana
. It was decided to destroy the dimension door that was blowing in.
Gyeong-hoon pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The mana stone was shot out with an explosion.
The red-hot mana stone flew quickly toward the pattern spread out on the lake. There was
no way there would be an aftereffect if the pattern was destroyed. There was no.
If time was gained and the overlord’s power weakened, there might be an opportunity to attack.
However, the mana stone, which was flying quickly, could not reach the pattern and exploded in a strange place.
Kwaaaa!
Before it reached the pattern, a large silver hole was created in front of the mana stone. After losing, the mana stone was sucked into a silver hole and exploded high in the sky.
“Are they using the damn portal for defense?”
The one he had just used was a space movement gate, but in any case, Gyeong-hoon was using the ability he barely used for movement to his heart’s content for small combat purposes. The
Overlord, who had extended one arm that was heading toward the ground toward the flying mana stone, turned his head and looked at Gyeong-hoon.
It was a plain black face with no facial features, but Kyung-hoon got an annoying feeling from that face.
Then, shiny human waste poured down from the colorful wings of the butterfly monarch that had risen to the sky.
The robot was also almost approaching, and the eyeball monster was looking at Kyung-hoon from afar. The eyes glowed brightly.
Flashing.
A line of light passed through the spot where Kyung-hoon was.
Boom !
One wall of the crater was blown open.
I was able to dodge the beam with my reflex intuition, but some of Kyung-hoon’s body armor and clothes were burned.
It was an attack that was difficult to block even with a shield.
And the overlord’s black arm pointed at Gyeong-
hoon. “Did I draw too much aggro?...”
The enemy’s defense was stronger than expected.
There was a high possibility that Gyeong-hoon would become a corpse before breaking through the defense. Fortunately,
Eve finished the job in time.
-Data collection is finished. If the current speed continues, in the next 6 to 7 days, a dimensional door can be created that the overlord can move through.
However, thanks to the attention, the drones were able to see the pattern. He was able to analyze it.
-Now we must retreat. It is dangerous.
As Eve said, it was time to retreat.
Human waste of unknown origin was shining and landing in the sky, and a huge lump of iron was rushing towards him.
Tree branches were behind him . A large tree had grown up, blocking the escape route, and its eyeball was preparing to emit light again.
However, the overlord’s outstretched arm seemed more dangerous to Gyeonghoon than all the attacks.
“There is still one more thing left to do.”
He pulled back his hand and threw the great sword he was holding with all his might.
Shuaaaaaaa!
The sword crossed the air at incredible speed and
with a bang!
It pierced the shield of the One-Eyed Monarch who was watching from afar and got stuck in the huge eyeball.
Wow!
The monster was trying to emit light again. I screamed while holding the sword stuck in my eye.
At the same time, the area around where Kyung-hoon was began to be cut away.
Lines that seemed to cut through space and dimension.
It was Isabelle’s characteristic dimensional cutting.
The lines completely erased the place where Kyung-hoon was. I cut it down. The ground was divided and the space was distorted.
After that, sparkling human waste came down and covered the place, and tree branches took away the vitality of the place where Gyeong-hoon was, but Gyeong-hoon was nowhere to be seen. In the place where Gyeong-hoon was, there was only silver smoke
. It was just flowing in the air.
Gyeong-hoon had spaced out at the last moment.
As the other monarchs looked around for humans, the Overlord stared at the silver smoke.
He seemed to have realized how Gyeong-hoon had run away.
At that moment.
A big explosion occurred in an unexpected place.
Kwaaaa!
The sword stuck in the monarch’s eye exploded into pieces. The great sword
that Gyeong-hoon threw contained his mana.
As if he had thrown the runaway mana stone with a rail gun, Gyeong-hoon held the sword that was about to be shattered. It was tied with mana and driven into the monarch’s eye.
The monster, with its upper body blown off along with its eyes, struggled on the ground.
It seemed amazing that it did not die even with its shattered body like that, but it seemed impossible to restore the formless eyes
. The Lord turned his head and looked at the struggling monster.
The Overlord stretched out his hand and pointed at the struggling monster.
Creep.
The space split and the struggling monarch was cut into hundreds of pieces and scattered on the floor.
Sigh.
Larvae rose from the ground and scattered. After devouring the body, the Black Overlord began to focus on the pattern again.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The symbol continued to be infused with mana as before
, but the lake below it was not as calm as before.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The heavens and earth went wild as if it were something.
