Chapter 199: Mr. Kim (1)

“Ah....”

Thanks to Jeong Yeongwoo, they had already seen this scene several times, but the members of Strongest Swords could not help but have a mesmerized expression as always.

Whoa...!

As golden waves began to spread in the midst of dark clouds, the area around Cheongdam Bridge, which had been dark, began to brighten again.

It was as if morning was coming.

“...I-It’s amazing.”

Just as Jeonggu opened his mouth in awe, the black rain that had been approaching Strongest Sword’s feet beyond Cheongdam Bridge disappeared without a trace.

Pop!

And then.

Shooo...!

Golden figures falling from the sky filled the space.

It was the beginning of golden rain falling across Gangnam District.

《Strongest Sword’s ‘Jeong Yeongwoo 07’ has given up exclusive control of 3 million karma and gifted 30,000 karma to all Gangnam residents.》

Soon after, as usual, Yeongwoo’s golden rain distribution notification appeared.

《30,000 karma will soon be distributed in commemorative coin form. Get ready.》

Even instructions on how to receive the money appeared.

“Huh....”

“...?”

“What’s this?”

The members of Strongest Sword on the left were still staring at a spot in the air, unable to look away.

The reason being.

Goooo...!

Another presence hidden in the darkness above Cheongdam Bridge was revealed.

It was a metal furnace floating above the bridge, the size of a typical detached house.

“W-What is that?”

“I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

“Is it a mutant... or something?”

As Strongest Swords blinked in surprise, the ‘furnace’ that had been showered in golden rain along with everyone else spoke for the first time.

―Where... is this place?

Unlike the sinister aura that brought the black rain, the ‘furnace’ seemed equally impressed by the golden rain as the Strongest Swords.

Especially against the backdrop of the sky in Gangnam, where high-rise buildings were well preserved and bathed in golden light, how astonishing must it have appeared to the furnace, or rather, to Kim Jong-un’s eyes.

Pop, pop!

Following that, in front of everyone, coins suddenly appeared in threes.

Strongest Swords reached out belatedly for the commemorative coins, and the furnace spoke again.

―Distribution...?

Seeing that he didn’t continue, it seemed he secretly hoped for coins to fall to him as well.

“You won’t get any money from me, you bastard.”

Yeongwoo immediately provoked him, cutting off his expectations.

Clack!

He aimed his bow at the furnace in the sky.

Of course, this was the Cheongdam Bridge, which should be preserved as much as possible.

However, since the furnace showed no signs of movement, Yeongwoo judged that he needed to provoke the guy first.

And above all.

‘He’s a fifth-day mutant. And a top figure in North Korea at that. So he won’t crash immediately from this.’

Having already clashed with high-risk mutants in Seoul once, he didn’t think the attack would cause the bridge to collapse.

And indeed.

Phew!

As soon as an arrow of mercy flew out from the forefront of the white saturation.

Whoa!

A huge explosion occurred right in front of Yeongwoo.

Boom!

Surprisingly, one of the two yakshas who had been confronting him blocked the arrow with his body.

-Thwack!

Startled by the sudden explosion, Negwig quickly withdrew his leg.

It was to protect Yeongwoo, whom he was carrying.

But Yeongwoo was busy watching the yakshas who were walking out amidst the purple smoke.

‘They reacted in that brief moment? How...?’

He had imagined the arrow would hit the furnace and bounce off, never imagining it would be blocked by just some small fries.

These yakshas probably won’t use local swordsmanship or unique martial arts.

Therefore, their immediate reaction was unexpected, meaning they had only responded with their basic abilities.

“Huh?”

“They’re coming over!”

As the yakshas finally stepped out of Cheongdam Bridge and onto the park grounds, the Strongest Swords, who had been in spectator mode until then, all drew their weapons at once.

Shoo!

Jeong Yeongwoo would have to fight against a formidable opponent.

With this kind of mutant, turning Seoul into ruins was just a matter of time.

However, Yeongwoo actually rushed to restrain them.

“Everyone, step back...! These are not opponents you can handle!”

What does it mean that these guys have come down to Gwangjin-gu?

‘As expected, it seems like Pyongyang’s Strongest Sword couldn’t defeat Kim Jong-un. No, it’s probably more accurate to say they couldn’t even break his subordinates.’

These monsters even sensed and blocked covert arrows.

So, the Strongest Swords of Seoul, who had built up their martial arts in a logical manner, couldn’t possibly deal with them.

The blade of Bastard easily sliced through the piece of metal the Yaksha was holding, as if cutting tofu, and into the Yaksha’s abdomen.

Pwooook!

Even the thick-looking skin of the Yaksha seemed to soften greatly in front of Bastard, and soon, brownish organs spilled out, dirtying the ground.

Shwaaat!

An absurdly asymmetrical display of power.

– Ugh, ugh...!

With one slash from Yeongwoo, the abdomen split open, and the first Yaksha desperately tried to shield his belly with his hands.

His grotesque head naturally drooped, and before the second Yaksha could intervene, the first one’s head rolled off.

Sscheaaat!

It was Bastard that struck again.

Peeoook!

Showing how heavy a head could be, the Yaksha’s head didn’t even rotate once as it hit the ground.

And to the surprise of the second Yaksha:

– Ugh...

With his thick lips pursed, he opted to retreat.

Ku-kung!

He began to dart towards the side street, avoiding Yeongwoo who stood in his way, realizing that there was no fighting against an unstoppable attack.

Kung, kung!

Of course, the most unsettled by the scene of the fleeing Yaksha was undoubtedly the furnace in the sky.

―Halt! For those who flee the battlefield, death awaits...!

Ssss...

As the enraged ‘furnace’ made a growl and moved forward, its position finally moved beyond the Cheongdam Bridge.

Now they could shoot arrows at the furnace or bombard it with lasers to their heart’s content.

‘Of course, the latter is a story for when the cannon is completed.’

Kung, kukuung!

Amidst all this, the second Yaksha was still running towards the city center, and seeing this, Yeongwoo muttered to himself, unheard by others:

“Sir... General, can you hear me? Did you get the generator?”

But naturally, there was no reply.

Even if he had bought a generator and was watching this moment on television, there was no way to send a message.

The only means of communication, if any, was...

“Um.”

Yeongwoo silently activated the ‘Clairvoyance’ and saw the fleeing second Yaksha’s buttocks, already quite far away, with a 5x magnification.

Then, roughly 5 seconds later, he looked at the anticipated point where the guy would be located.

Yeongwoo, who had practiced mounted archery before, found it not difficult to anticipate the movement of the target running at a certain speed.

Didn’t he shoot Wyverns flying around with arrows before?

〔|l||I-Earth-482-182-4051-72〕

This was the coordinate of the anticipated point where the guy would arrive.

Yeongwoo looked at the number and pronounced it aloud.

“Earth, 482, 182, 4051, 72. Can you confirm?”

He cautiously relayed the coordinates in a small voice.

But the laser cannon didn’t fire, and Yeongwoo shouted loudly.

“Earth! 482! 182! 4051! 72!”

However, even after 3 seconds, 4 seconds, and eventually 5 seconds passed, the laser cannon still didn’t fire.

‘Could it be that they haven’t bought the generator yet? Or maybe the laser cannon is not fully completed?’

Both scenarios were possible.

So, Yeongwoo hurriedly picked up the whistle.

Anyway, he could catch that guy if he chased him now, but it would be a different story if Kim Jong-un was inside that furnace.

And already, he was emitting something... strange.

So, eventually...

Swish.

The moment Yeongwoo raised the whistle near his mouth.

Phew-yeet!

A very alien sound came from beyond the sky.

“Huh?”

Yeongwoo looked up, wondering if he misheard.

Pwaaah!

An incredibly thick laser beam shot through the clouds.

“Damn it!”

“No...!”

“Ah!”

The Strongest Swords in the audience instinctively recoiled in surprise, and Oh Yeonhee saw even the furnace in the sky momentarily stagger.

And at that moment, Yeongwoo witnessed it.

Kwaaaaah!

Just the slight grazing of the laser beam’s periphery was enough to annihilate the second Yaksha who had already left the arrival point.

“...!”

Due to his friends firing a laser with an output too high, not only the requested bombardment point but also its surroundings were completely devastated.

Upon this, Yeongwoo...

Swoosh.

He turned around and looked at the spot between the furnace and the Strongest Sword.

Then he shouted loudly.

“Earth! 482! 182! 3265! 08!”

Upon hearing this, all the Strongest Sword in the audience began to flee.
