Episode 698
197. Messes’ shadow
“Hua -am ....
I lifted the corpse of the monsters with sleepy eyes and buried it on the ground
. All four of the remains were returned after collecting only their belongings.
There was no particular reason to do so, but it would be more unfair than I thought if someone did something and someone didn’t.
When I came here, the monsters attacked me as if they had been waiting
. The types ranged from goblins to trolls, ogres, and cyclops.
According to the original Awakener standards, they would have died
in one fell swoop. You might wonder why the users who had caught the bad guys died at that rate.
That question could be understood by looking at the Awakeners I met this time.
I don’t know what level they were at when they were enjoying Alf Online, but looking at their current level, they can hunt up to orcs without any problems. It was
still difficult
to deal with monsters above them.
Their body was in a similar situation to mine.
The soul and body are not synchronized.
In their case, it seems that their current body has not yet fully accepted the specifications in the game.
In many ways, it means that now is the most difficult time for humans.
As a result, I The monster lure trap they were aiming for was quite meticulous.
It’s only a problem because they weren’t awakened people who came here.
Whatever it was, it turned out that Yoon Tae-gang was a person wearing the mask of a survivor and trying to summon a demon.
With that silence, the two were not monsters. To the point of being sacrificed to humans.
Then what should we do?
For human survival, it would be better to prevent the summoning of evil spirits.
But,
on the contrary, if humans are sacrificed just a little...
“It’s an opportunity to bring out evil spirits and destroy them. ”
No matter how high it is, if the summoning time can be set here.
Unless it was Eclipse, there was a possibility of hitting it properly.
They say there is a choice between human life and death.
Megarodria will destroy the remaining monsters in the city. All that is left is to transport Hyuna and Lyne to the Buldak.
The distance is quite far.
If the highway was in a state of disrepair, as it is now, it would take 6 hours to travel by car, but the speed of the fire chicken was incomparable to such a car.
It’s probably already been around by now.
do you protect humans? Or do you sacrifice a little and put an end to the bust?
To say that was a concern made me feel like I was sinking into a sense of self-doubt.
“...”
The worry did not last long.
“Yes. People are more important.”
Even if I didn’t have to sacrifice an innocent human being, I would win anyway.
In the process, I didn’t have to make unnecessary sacrifices and make things I would regret later.
then.
Block that important thing before opening it.
To get things back to me.
Once the decision was made, there was no hesitation.
* * *
Daegu is currently blocking the entry of monsters based on the Nakdong River defense line.
Daegu and Jeollanam-do were practically the last remaining bastions in this situation where Seoul, which had been devastated like the Korean War, was abandoned and the capital was moved to Busan.
Hundreds of thousands of awakened people risk their lives to protect people by working together with soldiers to stop monsters.
However, since there was no additional influx, it would have been foolish to consume them recklessly.
Although it is quite funny that eight people were sent to such a subject.
Whoo!!!
“Please go in.”
I went inside after being guided by those in black suits, and there were several men waiting for me.
“Welcome.”
As soon as he saw me, the middle-aged man who responded with a firm face quietly looked at me and Lyne.
“First of all, I have to say thank you. Thanks to you guys, I was able to save face with Shinsung Group and completed an important mission.”
“Then let me free this one.”
I said, pointing to the restraints in my hand.
“Actually, it doesn’t mean much.”
“It can’t be. Please understand that we cannot recklessly release the restraints in a situation where your safety is not assured.”
“The handcuffs have the power to restrict the power of monsters and awakened people who use special powers. I hope you avoid unnecessary fuss.”
“If we come out hostile like that, nothing will be good for each other.”
The middle-aged man let out a sigh at my muttering.
“Of course I’m grateful for your help. But you’ve done what you’ve done.”
His meaning was simple.
“Isn’t it? Saint Tionis. The one who endangered mankind.”
At his words, I reciprocated.
“I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding. If you want to say something about the destruction of Alf Online, you misunderstood the number.”
“What...”
“You don’t have time to be doing this right now? After sending the survivors first, they brought them...”
First of all, people’s lives come first.
Ugly people and dirty people can be destroyed separately, but there is no reason for innocent people to be sacrificed because of them.
because that’s common sense
Killing a life that doesn’t have to be killed is just arrogance.
but.
[contractor. That’s a lot of snacks! Snacks are coming!]
Megalodria’s will came into my head as I accepted Shane Scrift’s DNA and signed a contract with Megalodria as a phantom summoner.
‘snack?’
[It’s the smell of radiation! Falling from the sky! Besides...]
His thoughts broke.
I said nothing.
Is it radioactive? There is only one thing that can do that.
nuclear missile.
“...”
“Why but?”
“I’ll look around for a bit.”
Originally, it was intended to clear up misunderstandings and block the evil spirit summoning offerings that Yun Tae-gang had brought in through their cooperation.
But I changed my mind.
human life? It doesn’t matter.
however.
From the moment I attack the being I care for, there is no negotiation for any reason.
“What did you guys just do?”
At my question, they suddenly looked puzzled.
“what?”
“No. That’s it. It’s obvious without looking at it. The negotiations are over.”
Kwajik!!
I casually broke the handcuffs on my hands.
bind the power
okay. that’s good
You should know that there is no meaning to a being with some power.
You should consider yourself lucky.
What I do not kill myself.
They have just lost their only ray of hope.
