Episode 283 [ Babylon (2) ]
A long time ago, when humans lived, the city called Babylon was now inhabited by other beings instead of humans.
These were creatures called monsters.
Various monsters filled the city, and each monster occupied territory centered around its own nest, guarding and fighting with each other.
Wow!
Squeaky!
It was no different from the armored crocodile knights and rat men.
With the huge tower in the background, a giant crocodile knight and dozens of Ratmen were growling at each other on both sides of the road.
This road was the road that divided the territories of the two monsters.
Ratman monsters were on the north side of the road, and crocodile monsters were on the south side, eyeing each other’s nests.
phut! phut! phut!
Ratmen dressed in old leather clothes continued to argue with the crocodile knight in iron armor. The rat people pounded on their old shields and twitched their butts.
Crumbling.
The Crocodile Knight showed his teeth again and got angry, but could not bear to attack.
Of course, this giant-like Crocodile Knight was a vanguard leader who jumped into another monarch’s territory and destroyed the enemy not long ago.
He was the leader of the knights and the second-in-command of the nest waiting to be promoted to captain.
With his power, he could just ignore the rat man area and wipe out the rats. Actually, I did that a while ago...
but I couldn’t do it this time.
Now that many of the outer nests had collapsed, it was impossible to recklessly wage war between nests.
The rat men also knew this and were arguing like that.
The crocodile knight, who had been growling for a while, suddenly turned his head back.
Beep profit.
A voice was heard calling to him from afar. No, that wasn’t the end. That sound was the sound of gathering knights.
The Crocodile Knight growled one last time at the rat people and then turned around.
The driver started running towards the place where the sound was heard.
The rat men who were making fun of the crocodile knight also looked in the direction the knight ran with nervous expressions.
That sound was clearly calling the crocodile knights. A sound calling for knights to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies.
The monster had come to the nest next door.
*
Boom!
The armor shattered and a knight was thrown into the wall.
“Kek!”
Blood spurted out from the mouth of the crocodile whose helmet had been removed. Although there was a shield, the impact broke through the shield and rang inside. The
other crocodile knight who had given up his honor and attacked with him was rolling on the floor with his head torn off.
As the neck was cut like a saw, the defense shield could not withstand it.
“Ugh. omg. Wow.”
In front of the crocodile knight who had fallen, there was a knight with a deeply pressed helmet standing. The
armor and helmet were similar to the crocodile knights’ armor and helmet, but his height was less than 2/3 of the crocodile knight’s.
However, his skills were different from his height. The man who had just fallen stood. In addition to the two knights, there were dozens of knights rolling dead on the floor. It wasn’t just the knight. Behind him, there was a long line of corpses of crocodile monsters that hadn’t transformed into humanoids. It was a trace of his walking from the end of the crocodile monsters’ territory to here. He was
there
. He defeated all the attacking monsters and advanced to the central nest of the territory.
This small armored knight was the territory destroyer who had been making noise in the city recently.
“Huh huh huh huh.”
Rough breathing continued inside the helmet. Steam rose through the helmet.
The inside of the helmet was filled with heat, and sweat was pouring down from the nape of his neck.
“Huh, huh, it’s hot...”
Inside the helmet, Kyung-hoon’s face was distorted.
I wanted to take off my helmet right away. I couldn’t breathe because of the heat.
As an awakened person, I was able to withstand the heat to some extent, but right now, the sweat inside this helmet was turning into steam.
But I couldn’t take off my helmet.
Of course, even without taking off the helmet, just turning the mana was enough to block the heat.
But I couldn’t turn the mana.
Because he wore a helmet and armor and sealed his mana, the monsters here did not know that Kyung-hoon was human.
If they had discovered that he was a human, not dozens, but hundreds or thousands of monsters would have flocked to him.
Babylon: The monsters of the level of monarchs living in this huge city of ancient civilization would have attacked.
Kyunghoon raised his head.
A huge tower was visible above the buildings. A tower that rises through the clouds all the way to the sky. It was a tower that seemed closer than before.
There isn’t much left now.
Thanks to hiding that I was a human, I arrived safely.
Bang! Bang!
The fight continued and Kyung-hoon kept getting bounced.
With the mana sealed, the power was gone. I had no choice but to be pushed back.
Over the course of several months of fighting, my ability to handle my body and my ability to use my sword became much better than before.
However, since I didn’t have the mana to overcome the difference in weight, it just seemed like I was relying on my strong body to attack me.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kyung-hoon. It became slower and slower. It became more difficult to withstand it with just the body. It
also became difficult to block the sword. Now, instead of the sword, it started hitting the shield directly. Now it
almost looked like a punching bag.
This was the reason why high-level monsters showed no interest.
But even in the midst of it all, Kyung-hoon’s eyes were alive.
Letting out a tired breath and biting his lip ripe with heat, Kyung-hoon continued to press.
And then he felt a change.
Boom!
The blocked Mana Road was cleared. The broken Mana Road was reconnected. The mana that had been blocked
spread throughout the body through the newly opened path
.
Fuaaaaaa!
Mana spread out from Kyung-Hoon’s body.
I flinch.
The crocodile knight who was about to swing his sword stopped moving. The knight took a step back.
The other crocodile knights who were standing behind looked at the little knight with surprised expressions.
“Huh.”
Kyung-hoon took a breath.
His entire body was coming back to life. Mana was reviving his tired body.
My senses were awakened and my strength returned. My body became lighter and time slowed down.
Mana in the world . I started to see it again.
Is it just before S-class?”
He has now recovered halfway. Although he has not yet risen to S rank, he is just around the corner. Although
he did not reach S rank until the cataclysm, it was still a good result.
While traveling through this ruined world, Kyung-hoon will find a way to restore his damaged mana. It was possible. After sealing the mana in the center of the body, the fight was continued with only the body. If
the fight continued to the limit, the body had no choice but to desperately search for mana.
However, the mana was sealed and there was no mana in the empty Mana Road.
Mana The pressure of the rod becomes extremely low, and eventually the blocked and disconnected mana rods are reconnected by the pressure, allowing mana to flow. Needless to say, it was an ignorant and
dangerous method.
But Kyung-hoon knew no other way. And so far it has been successful.
When he regained his mana, he could feel the mana pouring from the tower, which was much closer than before.
It was terrifying mana.
It was such a mana that it would be difficult to guarantee safety even with an intact body. The reason he was recovering his strength without going straight to the tower was because of the mana pouring from that tower.
Quaguaguagua.
Soon, mana soared from all directions. Mana soared throughout the city.
It was the mana emitted by captain-level, monarch-level monsters.
The monsters that noticed the human mana he was leaking were spewing out mana.
It was clear that if we delayed, they would come running from all directions.
Kyung-hoon smiled at the Crocodile Knight, who was standing hesitantly.
“Thanks to you.”
Wow!
It seemed like the crocodile knight had overcome his fear after hearing Kyung-hoon’s words.
The crocodile knight who fought with Gyeong-hoon screamed, and the other crocodile knights screamed and rushed at Gyeong-hoon.
And Gyeong-Hoon swung his sword.
“Overcharge.”
Stars shone from Mirinae’s blade, and a mana storm swirled ahead.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A section of the city was wiped out in an instant.
The captain-level crocodile monster in the nest was suddenly hit by a poisonous liquid, and another nest in the city disappeared.
Kyunghoon checked his mana. Even though I overcharged, I still had enough mana. At this level, we were able to prepare for the cataclysm that was just around the corner. Quaguaguagua.
Mana was coming from all directions. There was no time to waste.
He immediately opened the dimensional door and jumped inside.
The monarch-level monsters that came running after a while could only see the ruined buildings and the corpses of the crocodile monsters.
Black smoke rose between the corpses, but no monster knew what the smoke meant.
